The First Sword of the Universe

Chapter 41: Laodenuo, Died with His Eyes Open
In the dense forest of the canyon, there is no sound of leaves fluttering in the wind, nor the sound of birds singing.

The silence is a bit too much!
Xu Xingchen sat cross-legged on the ground, his clothes were soaked, his hair was divided into wisps, sticking to his scalp, neck, and pale forehead and cheeks.

His eyes were dull and there was an obvious sense of weakness in them.

The whole person seemed to be about to fall to the ground with a slight push or a strong blow from the wind.

When Lao Denuo saw Xu Xingchen in such a state, the fear in his heart was relieved a lot. Thinking of the peerless grace of the previous sword, fear and murderous intent took over again. He roared and drew his sword to stab.

Perhaps it was because his mind was still in a confused state, or perhaps his concentration had been taken away by Xu Xingchen's previous sword, the level of Lao Denuo's sword was far inferior to usual.

As he rushed forward, the sword was shaking a little and the tip of the sword was trembling violently.

Facing this sword, Xu Xingchen smiled weakly, grabbed the long sword beside him and threw it forward.

Lao Denuo didn't expect that his junior brother would actually throw out his protective sword. He was stunned for a moment and knocked the powerless sword away.

Facing his unarmed junior fellow apprentice, his original fear and anxiety were completely gone, leaving only boundless joy in his heart.

"I'm going to kill this horrible junior fellow apprentice!"

"As long as we kill him, there will be no one in this world who can use such a terrifying and despairing sword technique!"

"Haha. Hahahahahaha!"

Laudeno rushed to Xu Xingchen and stabbed his sword in the chest. The sword was surprisingly much more stable than before.

Excitement and cruelty flashed across his face, and he seemed to have seen the sword piercing his junior fellow apprentice's chest.

Just at this moment, Xu Xingchen suddenly raised his left arm, grasped the scabbard tightly in his hand, and aimed the entrance of the scabbard at the tip of the long sword that stabbed in front of him.

choke!
With the sound of a long sword being sheathed, Laudeno's eyes froze, and in a trance, the long sword in his hand had been taken away by the opponent. Then, he saw a familiar hilt quickly enlarged in front of his eyes, and in a blink of an eye, it was against his throat.

The momentum of Laudeno's charge, coupled with the force of the hilt's thrust, created tremendous power.

Click!

Laudeno clearly heard the sound of his throat bones breaking, and then he felt the pain.

Then, he choked and held his breath, and the sudden feeling of suffocation made his eyes go dark. He staggered past Xu Xingchen and fell to the ground.

Xu Xingchen showed a bit of relief on his face, and thought to himself: "The Demon Cult elder's method of breaking the spell is really effective!"

Grasping his throat tightly, Laudeno struggled for a moment before vaguely realizing that he had been killed by his exhausted junior brother.
".How is this possible?"

"That move is so weird!"

"I can't even kill a junior fellow apprentice who has lost all his strength?"

Laudeno was angry and desperate, and he struggled to get up from the ground. However, without the guidance of his breathing, his whole body's energy was in chaos and disorder. Even if he managed to get up, he soon fell to the ground again.

This happened several times before he finally didn't have the strength to get up again!

Seeing Lao Denuo's face turning purple, his eyes glaring with bloodshot, and his body and limbs struggling to survive, Xu Xingchen couldn't help but sigh, "Brother Lao, is this the result you wanted?"

Laudenuo seemed to have heard his sigh, and turned his head angrily, and until his last breath, he still stared at him with a pair of unwilling eyes.
For a moment, the dense forest in the canyon became even quieter! Half an hour later.
Xu Xingchen barely recovered some strength, stood up from the ground, looked at the sword in his hand, pulled it out, threw it next to the dead Laodenuo, then picked up the sword he had thrown away before and put it back into the scabbard.

Afterwards, he picked up the axe dropped by the underworld master, dug a wide hole in the ground, threw all the bodies in, and covered and compacted them with mud!
After thinking about it, he still didn't build a grave mound or erect a tombstone.

A clay pot will break if it is not kept out of the well, and a general will inevitably die in the battle!
These bloodthirsty people in the underworld are often buried on the spot after they die, which can be regarded as their final resting place!

After finishing all this, Xu Xingchen left the dense forest in the canyon, walked more than ten miles, washed himself beside a stream, and hung his clothes on a tree branch nearby.

Then, they built a bonfire, skinned and cleaned a wild rabbit they had caught along the way, and then grilled it over the fire.

Day and night alternate, sun and moon alternate!
Xu Xingchen stayed in the forest for three days, and his body became lively and energetic again; the internal strength in his dantian not only recovered to its original state, but also increased dramatically.

This is the body's recovery after excessive consumption.

Those who do fitness exercises use this method to break through the limits of their physical body time and time again and continuously strengthen themselves.

Xu Xingchen had used this method when he was practicing swordplay with a heavy sword, but he had never used it to develop internal strength.

Internal strength training is different from physical training!

Internal force cultivation is a long process of accumulation over time. It is okay to use this method of "exhausting and then recovering" occasionally, but if it is used frequently, it is easy to cause damage to the meridians and stagnation of internal force. In severe cases, it may even regress.
To put it bluntly, the cultivation of inner strength all depends on the word "nourish".

After his body and internal strength recovered, Xu Xingchen returned to the official road and continued heading south.

This time when he came down the mountain, in addition to traveling around the world and accumulating experience, the most important thing was to go to Fuzhou, Fujian, to find Lin Yuantu's "Bixie Sword Manual".

That thing is an extremely important "prop" in the story of Swordsman. Xu Xingchen has practiced martial arts for many years, so how could he not be curious about "The Book of Exorcism"? !

No matter what, you have to take a look!
On the way south, Xu Xingchen thought of Zuo Lengchan's sent Lao Denuo, who had been waiting for him to come down the mountain at the foot of Mount Hua, and he felt that his safety was greatly threatened.

I also thought that it would be best to keep it secret when I went south to search for the "Sword Manual of Exorcism".
So, he changed his appearance and disguised himself as a young warrior wearing gray and black tights, a bamboo hat, and a beard on his mouth.

His master Yue Buqun also taught him this knowledge!

Line, line, line, line.

Others have to travel through mountains and rivers and move forward with difficulty.

Xu Xingchen was traveling to enjoy the scenery, and since he had a lot of money, whenever he arrived at a market town, he would stay in a hotel and rest for a few days. He had a very happy time along the way.

After leaving Shaanxi, we encountered many bandit heroes who robbed and looted people on the road.

Xu Xingchen does good when he sees good, and eliminates evil when he sees evil.

If you are easy to talk to, we will let you go; if you are not easy to talk to, then I will spare your lives.

He was not a high monk in a temple, so he had no intention of forgiving these murderers and arsonists and persuading them to lay down their weapons; nor was he an official in the government, so he had no time to put these people in jail and wait for them to mend their ways and reform themselves.

These so-called green forest heroes and heroes of the rivers and lakes, as long as they blocked his way with obvious malicious intent, or were committing crimes and slaughtering innocent passers-by, they would inevitably be sent to heaven or hell by the straight and slippery weapon in his hand.

Two months later, Xu Xingchen finally arrived in Fuzhou, Fujian.
　Collect, read and recommend, thank you all for your help!
