The First Sword of the Universe

Chapter 403 The Four Villains Disband!
The green trees on both sides, like a dense railing, rushed past.

The towering mountain peaks on either side were also slowly moving backward.
When he exhaled completely, Duan Yanqing appeared on a cliff more than ten miles away.

Gazing at the roaring waterfall rushing down in front of me
A misty, damp vapor rushed towards him, hitting his dark, scarred face.

Duan Yanqing's excited mood calmed down a bit.

Recalling what happened before, each scene is still vivid in my mind.

"So, is that kid really my son?"

"And his mother."

"No, I must find a chance to meet his mother and get to the bottom of this."

"If, if he really is my son, as the only heir of the younger generation of the Dali Duan family, he will surely become the emperor of the Dali Kingdom in the future."

"In that case, doesn't the throne have returned to my son's hands?"

"Hahahaha."

"But what if that brat is lying to me?"

"No! No way, that kid wouldn't lie to me; Duan...my son didn't know he'd run into me today, so they couldn't have conspired beforehand."

Duan Yanqing's eyes flickered, his mind filled with a jumble of thoughts. As one thought settled, another would surge up.

Pfft!
He plopped down on the ground, staring at the waterfall in front of him, lost in thought.

Below the pillar-like mountain peaks
Xu Xingchen looked at Yun Zhonghe at her feet, not even wanting to say another word to him, and directly raised her leg and kicked him in the chest.

The overwhelming force shattered his heart, penetrating his sternum and flesh.

Yun Zhonghe's eyes were filled with extreme resentment and fear, and he slowly lost the color of life.

Ye Erniang, who was on the other side, felt a sense of sorrow for the dead Yun Zhonghe.

She wanted to run away.
But she still wanted to find out the whereabouts of her child from this hateful young man across from her!
That was the answer she had been searching for her whole life.

Now that she has finally met someone who knows the answer from back then, how could she let him go so easily?!
So, after hesitating, deliberating, and thinking it over again, she remained where she was.

Seeing Yun Zhonghe, one of the Four Evils, die before his eyes, Yue Laosan cried out, "You bastard, you're ruthless and merciless, no less so than us Four Evils!"

"How about this? We four villains are short one person, so you can be the fourth one of us, how about that?"

Xu Xingchen glanced at Yue Laosan and said indifferently, "Not so great; with my martial arts skills, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that I'm the leader of your Four Evils; why are you ranked fourth? Are you dissatisfied with my martial arts skills? Or what? How about we have another fight?"

Yue Laosan shook his huge head like a rattle drum: "No fighting, no fighting! We can't beat you, so what's the point of fighting! But if you kill Lao Si, are you going to kill the two of us too?"

Xu Xingchen said, "Ye Erniang, she must die, but whether she dies today or tomorrow is still uncertain."

"As for you, Yue Laosan, tell me yourself: Have you committed numerous evils? Have you indiscriminately killed innocent people? Have you done anything wrong? Do you feel that you deserve to die?"

Yue Laosan said irritably, "In this world, who would ask themselves whether they deserve to die? If you really want me to ask myself, then I think I shouldn't have died, and those I killed were the ones who deserved to die!"

Xu Xingchen smiled and said calmly, "I gave you a chance to live, but you were useless! Fine, I'll just take away your martial arts and let you live as an ordinary person. As for whether your enemies will find you and kill you later, that's up to your own fate."

Having said that, he appeared in front of Yue Laosan in a flash.

"You won't be able to cripple my martial arts!" Yue Laosan was not about to sit idly by and wait for his death. With a loud roar, he used all his skills.

A thick layer of earthy yellow aura burst forth from his 84,000 pores, attempting to condense into a giant earthy yellow crocodile.

However.
With an irresistible force, Xu Xingchen's broad palm suddenly broke through the "body" of the yellowish-brown crocodile and grabbed Yue Laosan's shoulder.

The Northern Darkness Divine Art technique that I had been studying these past few days was now put into practice.
An incredibly powerful suction force suddenly arose from Xu Xingchen's palm and the acupoints on his five fingers.

This force
It is a mixture of the mental techniques of the Northern Darkness Divine Art, the power of the Yuan Magnetic Ring, the essence of the Great Shift of Heaven and Earth, and the profound meaning of the Star Absorbing Technique.
The moment it was unleashed, it displayed unparalleled power.

Yue Laosan felt his internal energy being pulled out like a flood bursting its banks, flowing into the terrifying large hand resting on his shoulder.

Yue Laosan's expression changed drastically. The giant, earthen-yellow crocodile on his body began to weaken and crumble as it swayed and flickered.
He tried to struggle, but felt all his strength draining away, and he couldn't break free from the large hand on his shoulder.

He tried to stop the outward flow of internal energy, but found himself powerless to do so.

In this desperate situation, Yue Laosan finally cried out in terror, "What kind of demonic power do you have? Let me go, let me go!"

In this world, very few things could cause the honest yet fierce and domineering evil god of the South China Sea to be so terrified.
Now, however, he appears so panicked and fearful under Xu Xingchen's command.
It's clear how much of a shock Xu Xingchen's strange and mysterious martial arts skills had to him!
Xu Xingchen completely ignored Yue Laosan's struggles and roars, continuing to absorb Yue Laosan's internal energy with his palm while turning to look at Ye Erniang, who was becoming increasingly uneasy. "Ye Erniang, you can stop me; you can also take this opportunity to escape; so, what exactly are you thinking?"

As Ye Erniang watched the giant yellow crocodile on Yue Laosan's body grow smaller and weaker, she too felt a chill run down her spine.

She didn't know what had happened to Yue Laosan, but she sensed it must have been extremely terrifying!
She wanted to intervene, but the feeling of helplessness she had felt earlier, when she had tried everything but couldn't do anything to the young man in front of her, was deeply imprinted in her mind, like a heavy boulder pressing down on her, making her afraid to make a move.

She wanted to turn and run away, but the immense resentment that had been brewing in her heart for more than twenty years, as well as the hysterical madness of countless days and nights, tormented her mind, holding her back and preventing her from moving.

In Ye Erniang's mind, the whole person seemed to be split in two.

One of them was shouting at her to run away quickly, to turn around and run away, to get as far away from this terrifying young man as possible, and preferably never see him again in this lifetime.

A figure was screaming hysterically, "My child! I want my child! I want to see my child!"

Two tiny figures, identical in appearance but different in expression, were pulling at each other in her mind.

She was frozen in place, completely unable to move!

At that moment, upon hearing Xu Xingchen's question, she shuddered and finally came to her senses.

After a moment's hesitation, he asked, "Do you really want me to die? Isn't there any other way to replace me or atone for my sins?"

Xu Xingchen said calmly, "Do you think you still have a chance to atone for your sins? Let alone find a substitute?"

Ye Erniang's cheeks twitched, she let out a cold snort of resentment, and leaped up, rushing towards the distant mountains and forests.

In the end, she chose to save her own life.

As for the whereabouts of my child, I will investigate that later.

She refused to believe that this young man surnamed Xu had no weaknesses whatsoever.
Xu Xingchen was absorbing Yue Laosan's internal energy and didn't pay attention to Ye Erniang's escape.

The Northern Darkness Divine Art, which incorporates many divine skills and secret techniques, is extremely powerful.

In a very short time, it absorbed most of the internal energy from Yue Laosan's body.

The giant, earthen-yellow crocodile surrounding him had shrunk to a size that could barely envelop his body; even so, after a few breaths, it swayed and completely vanished.

After absorbing nearly 70% of Yue Laosan's internal energy, Xu Xingchen had an idea and removed his hand from Yue Laosan's shoulder.

With a deathly pale face, Yue Laosan collapsed to the ground. Feeling the emptiness in his meridians and dantian, he burst into tears, crying out, "It's gone! My internal energy is gone! Where did you take my internal energy?"

"Give me back my inner strength, give it back to me!"

Duan Yu, Mu Wanqing, and Zhong Ling, whose acupoints had been sealed, watched in disbelief as the situation before them underwent a dramatic transformation in a very short time. They were all dumbfounded, their faces filled with disbelief.

A few words provoked the leader of the Four Evils: the notorious Duan Yanqing!

The fourth of the Four Villains, who was kicked to death, was the vicious and ruthless Yun Zhonghe!

With one palm strike, he "crippled" the third of the Four Evils: his ferocious martial arts turned him into a "mortal"!
Two sentences scared away the second of the Four Evils: Ye Erniang, who was utterly wicked!

In a short period of time, Xu Xingchen brought down the notorious criminal gang known as the "Four Evils."
They've completely broken up!
Therefore, Xu Xingchen's image became increasingly unfathomable in the minds of the three.

Ignoring Yue Laosan, who was sitting on the ground weeping, Xu Xingchen stepped forward and released the pressure points on Duan Yu, Mu Wanqing, and Zhong Ling.

"Brother Xu, you truly possess great skill!" Duan Yu asked impatiently, stretching his somewhat stiff body. "However, I hope Brother Xu can tell me why my birth date and time were able to frighten away Duan Yanqing?"

Xu Xingchen glanced at him and said with a faint smile, "I don't know much about this matter either; it's just some random guessing."

Duan Yu frowned and said, "Brother Xu must know, he just doesn't want to tell me!"

Xu Xingchen put away his smile and said, "Actually, Brother Duan should have some guesses in his heart, but he just doesn't dare to believe it."

Duan Yu stared at Xu Xingchen for a long time, then sighed with distress and regret, and stopped asking questions.

Now, after experiencing the absurd situation that "Madam Zhong is his father's lover and Zhong Ling is his younger sister," he has become extremely sensitive.

Xu Xingchen's previous conversation with Duan Yanqing.
And Duan Yanqing's thunderous reaction upon hearing his birth date and time.
In addition, there was the subsequent out-of-control escape
All these images made his heart tremble and his mind go blank.

A thought I dare not even consider, and one that should never even arise.
It has quietly sprouted!
