The First Sword of the Universe

Chapter 371 Xu Xingchen: I'm fully recovered!
Ouyang Feng, the Western Poison, is a ruthless and cunning individual who will stop at nothing to achieve his goals!

But he does not lack the demeanor of a martial arts grandmaster.

He could allow himself to be killed by Hong Qigong, Huang Yaoshi, and the others, or he could kill them himself.
Even if it means resorting to sneak attacks or poisoning!

But it is absolutely unacceptable that the old eunuch take advantage of their weakened state to subdue and capture Hong Qigong, Huang Yaoshi, and others, and then have them beheaded by the Song Dynasty court as a tool to intimidate the world.

Such an outcome would be an absolute insult to them, the most powerful and unparalleled masters in the martial arts world—no, in the entire world!
He would not allow himself to be insulted in this way, nor would he allow Huang Yaoshi, Hong Qigong, Zhou Botong, and Xu Xingchen, who were of equal skill level to him, to be insulted in this way.

Therefore, he instinctively tried to stop it, but unfortunately, his internal injuries were not light. He leaped up, but before he had even jumped three zhang away, his previously calmed qi became disordered again, causing him to fall to the ground with a thud.

"Damn it! Absolutely despicable!"

He roared in frustration and looked up at the old eunuch.

When the old eunuch first appeared before that despicable young man who had burned him to the state of coal, his feelings were so complex that they were hard to describe.

He would be very happy if he personally captured and killed that young man.

But if he were to be captured by that old eunuch taking advantage of his distress, he would feel a little regretful!
Just as he was feeling conflicted, his eyes suddenly widened, and an incredulous expression appeared on his face.

But it turns out...
The young man, lying on the ground covered in wounds, retaliated the moment the old eunuch attacked him.

Moreover, their reaction speed is extremely fast, and their striking power is extremely strong.

After exchanging a few quick blows with the old eunuch, the powerful gust of wind generated by the rapid collision of their palms pushed the two of them to the sides.

Xu Xingchen flipped several times to the side, braced herself on the ground with one hand, and then did a backflip to stand up straight.

Upon seeing this commotion, the others on the battlefield all looked up at him.

Wearing ripped underwear, Xu Xingchen's strong body was covered with bruises, swellings, and cuts, with many wounds of varying sizes and lengths, from which blood flowed.

However, those wounds were not serious; they were just minor cuts and bruises.
The old eunuch looked surprised and asked curiously, "You brat, you actually still have the strength to get up and fight?!"

Not far away, Hong Qigong, Zhou Botong, and Huang Yaoshi struggled to their feet and sat cross-legged.

While struggling to restore his nearly depleted internal energy, he looked up in surprise to observe the situation unfolding on the other side.

Even now, Xu Xingchen still has the strength to continue fighting.
This fact had a profound impact on them.

On the walls of the four sides, the spectators were still lying on the ground, their heads buzzing, their eyes darting around like mosquito coils, not yet recovered.

They were even less able to pay attention to the new developments that suddenly emerged after the chaotic battle on the battlefield in the imperial city.
Xu Xingchen touched his slightly messy long hair and grinned, "Yes! I still have a lot of internal energy to use; senior, your plan is impossible to realize!"

As he spoke, he circulated his internal energy, and the large and small wounds on his body quickly stopped bleeding, healed, scabbed over, and fell off.

The bruises, swelling, and other injuries on other parts of the body were also rapidly subsiding and flattening.
In a short while, apart from some dirt, soot, bloodstains and other filth, he was completely restored to normal.

The old eunuch frowned as he looked at the changes in the young man before him, his voice high-pitched and sinister: "In such a fierce battle, it's impossible for you to still have any strength left."

"Therefore, I don't believe you still have a lot of internal energy left."

"Your current appearance clearly shows that you're at your last gasp, just bluffing!"

"I'd like to see how many of my moves you can withstand!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the old eunuch disappeared from the spot and reappeared in front of Xu Xingchen.

He stretched out his two long, thin, withered hands, curling his fingers into claws.

scoff!scoff!
Amidst the tearing sound of tearing air, two long claw marks remained in the void, piercing through Xu Xingchen's body.

A cold glint flashed in the old eunuch's eyes: "You dodged so quickly!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the figure in front of him vanished like a dream, disappearing into thin air.

Everyone looked again.

Xu Xingchen's figure appeared behind the old eunuch, and he threw a punch with great force, which whistled through the air.

But what this punch struck was a spiraling afterimage.

Swoosh, s ....
Spiral afterimages flashed around Xu Xingchen's body, leaving behind illusory and unreal shadows.

The old eunuch's figure was hidden among the nine spinning top phantoms, deceiving Xu Xingchen's eyes.

At this moment, Xu Xingchen had already exited the transformation state of breaking through to the fourth realm and returned to her normal appearance.

The old eunuch did not unleash his power to break through to a higher realm!
The two sides clashed in a lightning-fast exchange.

The crackling sounds echoed through the ruins of the imperial city.

Both of them possessed extremely fast agility techniques, and their moves were incredibly complex and varied.

Within a few breaths, they had exchanged more than ten blows. These included various martial arts styles such as fists, palms, fingers, claws, and unarmed versions of various weapons.

It’s all-encompassing!

The old eunuch unleashed all the martial arts techniques from the Nine Yin Manual. Each technique combined strength and gentleness, yin and yang, possessing boundless power and endless variations.

Compared to the lower part of the Nine Yin Manual practiced by the ill-fated couple Mei Chaofeng and Chen Xuanfeng, it is far more powerful.
Xu Xingchen himself is a vast repository of martial arts knowledge, proficient in various weapons and techniques of fist and palm fighting.

Facing the old eunuch's complete version of the Nine Yin Manual, he's no match at all!
In a short while, the two separated and reunited, exchanging dozens of blows.

The more they fought, the colder the old eunuch's face became; the more they competed, the more perplexed he became.

My thoughts were churning, yet I was also filled with inexplicable surprise.

"How can this be?"

"how come?"

"Even if this kid's internal energy recovery speed is fast, it's impossible for it to recover to this extent."

"I felt that the internal energy within him was vast and boundless, as if it were inexhaustible."

"Just like."

"It was as if he had never participated in that incredibly intense free-for-all."

"But...how is this possible?"

In fact.
Not only was the old eunuch puzzled, but Ouyang Feng, Huang Yaoshi, Hong Qigong, and Zhou Botong, who were sitting cross-legged on all four sides recovering their internal energy, also had astonished expressions and couldn't figure it out.

The difference in their martial arts skills was not actually that great. If they maintained the power of breaking through to the second or third level, they could fight for three days and three nights.

However, when one unleashes the power of breaking through to the fourth realm and pushes one's martial arts to the limit, the situation becomes completely different.

In a very short time, they will feel weak all over and their internal energy will be depleted.

Xu Xingchen should be in the same situation as them.

Even if they were relying on their youthful good health and had some internal energy left over from the previous chaotic battle, it couldn't possibly be as abundant as it is now, could it?!
So how exactly did Xu Xingchen manage to do something so unbelievable?

Unbeknownst to them, Xu Xingchen possessed a peerless divine skill called the Star Absorbing Technique.

This divine skill, in the first martial arts world he experienced, once stirred up countless storms and bloodshed; it made countless martial arts practitioners tremble with fear and fall silent.

Since obtaining the cultivation manual for the Star Absorbing Skill, Xu Xingchen has studied this martial art extensively.

Subsequently, he collected some divine martial arts manuals in the two worlds to expand his martial arts knowledge base.
With so many profound martial arts principles about all things in the world, Taoist secrets, and martial arts, Xu Xingchen's understanding of the essence of martial arts far surpasses that of many others.

He had already thoroughly studied all the subtle and profound principles of the Star Absorbing Technique, and could change and replace its contents at will, turning it into a different martial art.

Among them, the most difficult problem is the refining and fusion of different types of true energy.
He has already found the answer in martial arts classics such as the Nine Yang Divine Skill, the Great Shift of Heaven and Earth, and the Nine Yin Manual.

It can be said.
For Xu Xingchen, the Star Absorbing Technique has no weaknesses; it is probably no less powerful than the true Northern Darkness Divine Art!

Xu Xingchen's Yuan Magnetic Ring not only absorbed many of the subtleties of the Qiankun Great Shift and the Nine Yang Divine Skill, but also drew on many of the profound mysteries of the Star Absorbing Skill.

It can be described as a masterpiece that combines the best of three divine skills!
Normally, Xu Xingchen cultivates his internal energy in a state of harmony with nature, which is already incredibly fast. In just a few years, he will be able to cultivate his internal energy to a perfect state.

Therefore, the effects of the Star Absorbing Technique were useless to him—tasteless to eat, but a pity to throw away.

When fighting one-on-one with Huang Yaoshi, Hong Qigong, and Ouyang Feng, he didn't need to use the Star Absorbing Technique.

Even in the previous chaotic battle, he was able to fight the other people to a standstill with his true strength.

Even better!
However, he was intelligent and shrewd, and he was wary of the old eunuch who was always standing nearby, eyeing them with hostility.

So, in the final moments of the chaotic battle, when countless violent forces broke free from the control of the few individuals and were consumed by the spiritual will of their masters within the rapidly spinning tornadoes,

Xu Xingchen used the dual magnetic rings around him to unleash the miraculous ability to absorb the power of others.

In just a few chaotic breaths at the last moment, Xu Xingchen absorbed a huge amount of chaotic internal energy from the tornado.

After undergoing meticulous grinding and multiple transformations by the dual-element magnetic ring, it quickly became a mild, chaotic force, which he then absorbed into his body.

Then, his body, along with the others, was swept away by the tornado's explosion.

In the brief time between being thrown into the air and landing.
The incredibly complex energy within his body circulated countless times along his meridians and acupoints.

The streams of energy were rapidly refined and fused together.

In an instant, it became his own internal energy!
