The First Sword of the Universe

Chapter 399 The One-Finger Divine Skill is unbelievably powerful!

On the lush green grass
Xu Xingchen and Duan Yanqing, the leader of the Four Evils, were engaged in a fierce battle.

The other three villains watched the fierce battle, each lost in their own thoughts.

Duan Yu, Mu Wanqing, and Zhong Ling quietly moved behind a large tree, trying their best not to disturb Xu Xingchen's battle.

At the same time, they were also trying to avoid attracting the attention of the other three villains by showing their presence.

However, their movement immediately alerted the three villains.

Although Ye Erniang harbored the idea that "if the eldest brother could stop Xu Xingchen, he could force Xu Xingchen to reveal the whereabouts of his child."

However, having personally experienced Xu Xingchen's terrifying and invincible power, she still felt uncertain even though she knew her boss's martial arts skills far surpassed those of the three of them.
Because of this concern, she did not take Duan Yu and the other two's attempts to avoid and hide to heart.

Yue Laosan always acted freely and unrestrainedly. He would not easily make a move against someone who could not fight back. He only glanced at Duan Yu and the other two before focusing his attention back on the battlefield on the grassland.

Only the crane in the clouds.
This fellow is extremely lecherous. He usually relies on his superb lightness skills to pick and steal flowers everywhere, ruining the reputation of countless women.

Furthermore, relying on his exceptional lightness skill, he has repeatedly escaped the pursuit of those so-called righteous martial arts sects!

Upon arriving at this place, his gaze was first drawn to the scene of Ye Erniang kowtowing to Xu Xingchen; later, Xu Xingchen attacked and nearly killed him; and then the boss arrived and saved him.
This series of events unfolded both tightly and thrillingly!

Having just returned from a brush with death, Yun Zhonghe had no time to pay attention to anything else, nor did he care whether Zhong Ling and Mu Wanqing were beautiful or ugly.

At this moment, he finally had the mind to observe the actions of Duan Yu and the other two!
He had only glanced at them casually, but when he saw Zhong Ling and Mu Wanqing's outstanding appearances, he was stunned, and then a very obvious lewd look flashed in his eyes.

He glanced at the fierce battlefield, then at Zhong Ling and Mu Wanqing.

He thought to himself, "I never expected that this kid's companions would include two such outstanding beauties; normally, if I saw beauties like these, I would definitely abduct them and enjoy them to my heart's content."

"The timing is terrible, what a pity! What a pity! What a pity!"

"However, if I launch a sneak attack now and capture those two women and that kid who clearly has no martial arts skills, the despicable fellow fighting the boss will surely be thrown into disarray. Then, the boss will have a chance to kill or cripple that kid."

Yun Zhonghe's eyes darted around, his mind filled with all sorts of dark and treacherous thoughts.

next moment.
Ignoring the throbbing pain from his internal injuries, he channeled his inner energy, leaped into the air, and rushed towards the three people under the large tree ten feet away like a whirlwind.

Seeing this, Yue Laosan asked, somewhat confused, "Lao Si, what are you going to do?"

Ye Erniang's eyes flickered, but she neither spoke nor stopped her.

Xu Xingchen, who was engaged in a fierce battle with Duan Yanqing, immediately noticed Yun Zhonghe's movements and thus guessed what he was thinking.

A furious snort echoed through the nearby mountains and forests.

With her flowing sleeves, Xu Xingchen easily escaped from Duan Yanqing's storm of swordplay.

Ignoring the desperate attempt to hold him back by the thin iron staff that pounced on him again from behind, he moved like the wind and lightning, quickly catching up with Yun Zhonghe, who was leaping in mid-air.

"What? The boss couldn't hold him back!"

Hearing the noise coming from behind and below, Yun Zhonghe turned around and was immediately horrified. As he saw Xu Xingchen's large hand reaching out to him again, his face contorted in shock.

"No! No way! I can't let him catch me; otherwise, I'll surely die."

A series of thoughts flashed through Yun Zhonghe's mind, and he quickly made a major decision.

Bang!
A burst of energy, like a thunderclap from a clear sky, exploded across the open space.

Then, a powerful surge of energy rushed out in all directions, stopping Xu Xingchen's outstretched right hand.

Black and white air gushed out from behind, transforming into feathers that once again formed the pair of distinct black and white wings.

It is the wondrous technique that made Yun Zhonghe famous: the Wings of the Crane!
However, forcibly using this miraculous double-wing technique while suffering internal injuries would be too much of a burden.
Yun Zhonghe spat out another mouthful of blood.

But he didn't care about any of that; he just flapped his wings and tried to get rid of the pursuers behind him as quickly as possible.

However, a large, broad hand broke through the barrier of the energy ring and suddenly grabbed one of the wings on the back of the crane in the clouds.

In Xu Xingchen's perception, the wing in his hand had a realistic texture, possessing both the softness and smoothness of feathers and the resilience and strength of internal energy.

They didn't look like a pair of illusory wings formed from internal energy at all.

It is evident how astonishingly powerful the extraordinary techniques of this world are at condensing the internal energy of martial artists.

Xu Xingchen grabbed Yun Zhonghe's wing on its back and shook it slightly, thus eliminating Yun Zhonghe's strength to flap its wings and fly.

With a sudden movement, he raised his arm high into the air, then forcefully threw Yun Zhonghe down to the ground.

Boom!

The ground shook. Soil flew everywhere, dust billowed, and countless bits of grass swirled in the air.

After a while.
As the smoke and dust cleared, the grass fell to the ground, revealing another pit three feet deep.

The bottom of the pit.

Yun Zhonghe lay twisted in the mud, his pale face and eyes still showing a trace of lingering fear and terror.

The pair of crane wings on his back once again transformed into streams of light and dissipated into the air.

Having been blasted into the ground twice by Xu Xingchen, his injuries were truly compounded and became increasingly severe.

In mid-air.
Just as Xu Xingchen threw Yun Zhonghe to the ground, Duan Yanqing caught up and pointed his thin iron staff at Xu Xingchen from afar.

*Screech!*

A faint whooshing sound filled the air.

A thin, long ray of light flashed in the air before landing on Xu Xingchen.

This beam of light, whose color was indiscernible, was moving so fast that Xu Xingchen couldn't even react in time.

boom!
A dull, explosive sound erupted.

Xu Xingchen tumbled through a series of somersaults and plummeted toward the ground.

Just before landing, he regained his balance and landed steadily on the ground.

Xu Xingchen glanced at Duan Yanqing, who had landed in front of the second pit again, and looked down at her shoulder.

The clothes there had a small hole, about the size of a thumb, torn open, revealing raw flesh inside, from which fresh blood was gushing out.

Xu Xingchen felt the wound that had penetrated deep into his flesh and couldn't help but laugh: "Duan Yanqing, your One-Finger Divine Skill is quite powerful; it actually managed to injure my body."

While speaking, he channeled his inner energy and manipulated the five elements to begin stopping the bleeding.

In a very short time, the wound began to heal, close, scab over, and fall off.

Duan Yanqing watched as Xu Xingchen's shoulder injury healed rapidly, a look of horror flashing in his eyes. He muttered to himself, "Your body is so strong. Could it be that you've practiced some kind of hard qigong?"

"Moreover, the speed at which your wounds heal is astonishing; in all my years of traveling the world, I have never seen anyone whose injuries heal at such an incredible speed."

Not far away, Yue Laosan stared wide-eyed at the sight of Xu Xingchen's shoulder wound healing rapidly, his mouth agape.

Seeing this astonishing scene from another direction, Ye Erniang's heart sank, and her confidence in her boss's ability to defeat the young man Xu Xingchen vanished.

Seeing the martial arts skills, agility, powerful physique, and rapid healing abilities displayed by this young man surnamed Xu, all of which far exceeded the imagination of ordinary people, was quite astounding.
This filled them with envy, astonishment, and horror; at the same time, it also gave rise to an overwhelming sense of despondency!

Yun Zhonghe, lying in the pit, naturally did not see this scene.

He was still frantically trying to regulate the chaotic energy within his body in order to suppress his increasingly severe injuries.

At the same time, he secretly regretted that he had been blinded by lust and had actually come up with such a terrible idea to threaten this terrifying enemy who seemed to have sprung up from some unknown crack in the rock.
"My martial arts are all-encompassing and unparalleled in the world; how could ordinary people possibly fathom them?" Xu Xingchen calmly looked at Duan Yanqing not far away and said with a composed expression, "I am now going to kill Yun Zhonghe behind you. I hope you can protect him."

Duan Yanqing snorted coldly: "Then let's go!"

The battle between the two immediately intensified after this conversation.

Xu Xingchen flashed and appeared in front of Duan Yanqing, throwing a punch.

Powerful and heavy, skillful yet unpretentious!
This time, he completely abandoned the subtle and profound variations of his moves, and directly overwhelmed his opponent with brute force, winning by sheer power.

This simple punch enveloped Duan Yanqing's entire body, leaving him unsure of where to dodge or retreat.
Even when it comes to variations in moves and responses, they seem unsure which move to use!

Duan Yanqing felt that no matter what moves or sword techniques he used, they would be insufficient to deal with the threat of this punch.

But after all, he was a notorious villain who had been roaming the martial arts world for many years. He was not only highly skilled in martial arts, but also decisive in his thinking.

When he realized that no move could be used to deal with the situation, he decisively abandoned all his moves.

The thin iron staff in his hand thrust straight forward!
The moment it was thrust out, a layer of shimmering white air enveloped the thin iron staff.

That was the outward manifestation of him concentrating the power of the One-Finger Divine Skill on the magnetic staff!
Although he possessed several martial arts techniques, including some exquisite sword techniques from the Duan family, the only martial art that could rival Xu Xingchen's punch was their Duan family's inherited martial art: One Finger Divine Skill!

The thin iron staff collided with the fist.

Bang!
With a loud bang, a vast and powerful ring of energy surged outwards, reaching a distance of about ten feet.

Between the two, dirt splattered, weeds flew, and billowing dust enveloped their bodies.

next moment.
The two, shrouded in billowing smoke and dust, quickly engaged in battle!
