The First Sword of the Universe

Chapter 512 Senior Sister, what secret are you hiding?
"Is Li Qiushui really that fast?"

As Xu Xingchen pondered, he would occasionally wield his long sword, slicing and shattering the elusive Li Qiushui. Sometimes he would deliberately take an attack himself, experiencing the principles of martial arts within.

A figure in white suddenly appeared in front of him, her slender hand reaching out to his chest.

A thoughtful look flashed in Xu Xingchen's eyes. She did not resist and took the blow head-on.

The instant his palm struck his chest, a tremendous force erupted, sending him flying.

With Xu Xingchen's powerful physique, even after suffering such a heavy blow, he only experienced some blood turmoil and was not injured in the slightest.

To put it bluntly, it was because the white-robed immortal figure wasn't powerful enough to injure him.

But these were not the focus of Xu Xingchen's attention.

This time, as he took the blow, his gaze remained fixed on the white-clad immortal figure.

The white-clad figure vanished the instant it struck his chest.
This disappearance was a complete and utter disappearance, unlike the situation where Xu Xingchen shattered those white-clad immortal figures with a single sword strike and then dissipated into a swirling white mist.

The power that made up the white-robed fairy figure transformed into offensive power the moment it struck his chest, surging forth from his palm.

This is the secret behind the attack of the white-robed immortal.

If you can hit Xu Xingchen, all the power will burst out from your palm in an instant.

If the attack misses, it will be shattered by Xu Xingchen's ten-foot-long sword beam, turning into white mist and dissipating into the empty white sphere.

"So these white-clad immortal figures are just another application of Bai Hong's palm power?!"

Once Xu Xingchen understood the reasoning behind it, she lost the will to continue.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh.
The sword beam, ten feet long, crisscrossed the white mist like lightning, shattering the white-clad immortal figures that appeared from all directions.

At the same time, he shouted, "Senior, stop with these petty tricks! Do you have any other martial arts techniques that can truly broaden my horizons? Show them to us!"

Hidden in the shadows, Li Qiushui realized that even her methods were ineffective against the young junior before her, and her heart grew heavy.

Faced with Xu Xingchen's provocation, she snorted coldly: "Kid, I really underestimated you."

The enormous white sphere suddenly trembled, then rapidly split and cleaved, transforming back into streaks of white rainbows that danced and swirled across the sky.

Then, they converged in a mighty procession towards a certain place, accompanied by a gust of wind and clouds, from which Li Qiushui's figure emerged.

Li Qiushui, whose face was covered by a white veil, had a cold light shining in her eyes.

"Boy, take this palm strike. If you can block it, I'll call it quits; if you can't, your life is in danger."

Amidst Li Qiushui's sharp shout, her figure once again transformed into a white rainbow as thick as a water bucket, instantly traversing several meters to arrive in front of Xu Xingchen.

Li Qiushui's figure emerged from the white rainbow, her graceful and slender figure seemingly blending into the white rainbow.

The two merged into one, and swiftly struck out with a palm towards Xu Xingchen.

This palm strike was extremely fast and powerful. As soon as it appeared, it shattered the air and carried the heavy momentum of Mount Tai pressing down on Xu Xingchen's chest.

Xu Xingchen's eyes narrowed as he sensed the powerful and domineering palm force. He felt that even if his body were to become a golden statue made of black iron, it would still be deformed or even shattered by this palm strike.

He reacted extremely quickly, and the sword light in his hand instantly arrived in front of his chest, colliding with the palm print.

Clang!

The crisp sound of metal shattering echoed over the mountain villa, its lingering resonance never ceasing.

Xu Xingchen's ten-foot-long sword beam shattered into countless scattered fragments in an instant, exploding in all directions.

The sunlight overhead shone down, scattering across the scattered fragments of sword light, refracting them into a beautiful, dazzling array of colors.

Xu Xingchen's sword light was shattered by a single palm strike, something that had never happened before.

This also proves the immense power of Li Qiushui's palm strike, as vast as the might of heaven, and incredibly strong.

Xu Xingchen was also forced back ten feet by the residual force of the palm strike. The white cloud beneath his feet was closely connected to his body and inseparable, leaving a long white trail in the air.

Li Qiushui's offensive momentum paused slightly before she launched another attack at Xu Xingchen.

A white rainbow stretched across the sky above the villa, its momentum fierce and unstoppable.

"That palm strike was really powerful!"

Xu Xingchen quickly suppressed the surging blood and qi within his body, and a black and white stream of qi emerged from his body, rapidly swirling and connecting, transforming into a buzzing, rotating magnetic ring.

Although the Yuan Magnetic Ring is both offensive and defensive, Xu Xingchen values ​​its defensive capabilities the most.

A white rainbow rushed towards her, but Li Qiushui broke free from it and struck out with her palm once more.

Xu Xingchen saw it all clearly this time.

Li Qiushui's palm, which she clapped out, was as white as jade, unlike flesh and blood.

Between the five slender fingers and the palm, streaks of dazzling white lightning flickered and pulsed.

Xu Xingchen only glanced at it before feeling a stinging pain in her eyes and some discomfort.

She immediately understood that the white light that flashed like lightning on that slender jade palm was the ultimate manifestation of the White Rainbow Palm Force.

No wonder its power is so incredible!
Ding~~!

Amidst a resounding, booming sound like a great bell.

Li Qiushui's palm struck Xu Xingchen's suddenly appearing magnetic ring with lightning speed.

The spinning magnetic ring was momentarily paused by the palm strike, before resuming its rapid rotation.

In that instant.

Most of the power in Li Qiushui's palm suddenly disappeared, and only a small portion of the power exerted its due force, sending Xu Xingchen flying back another five zhang.

Compared to the previous attack that sent him flying back ten feet, Xu Xingchen was much more able to handle this attack.

The magnetic rings swirling around him were not shattered like the sword beams from before.

It continued to spin relentlessly, protecting Xu Xingchen's safety. In contrast, Li Qiushui...

Although the palm strike sent Xu Xingchen flying back a distance, the force that suddenly rebounded from the Yuan Magnetic Ring pushed him back three zhang.

Suddenly, between the two, the air belatedly exploded with an immense burst of energy that swept in all directions.

Xu Xingchen stood on swirling white clouds, surrounded by black and white magnetic rings. Facing Li Qiushui, whose eyes gleamed with ferocity and who was about to charge again, he shook his head and said, "Senior, you said earlier that I would take one of your palms; now I've already taken two. Do you still want to continue?"

Upon hearing this, Li Qiushui, who was about to transform into a white rainbow again, paused. Her eyes flashed with a fierce light as she stared at Xu Xingchen for a long time, especially lingering on the black and white ring surrounding him. Only then did she reluctantly reassemble her ethereal body.

She stood in mid-air, the wind blowing her white clothes, which fluttered and her black hair flew.

Although she stopped her attack, she refused to admit defeat: "What? Are you afraid that if we keep fighting, I'll beat you to death?"

Xu Xingchen smiled smugly: "Senior is really joking. Killing a junior is not an easy thing."

The alluring look in Li Qiushui's eyes vanished, and she said in a deep voice, "Very well, let's end today's sparring here; but you must tell me, is my senior sister in your manor? What is she doing here?"

"And you must tell me where my daughter, Li Qingluo, is?"

Xu Xingchen raised an eyebrow slightly and said, "Senior is right, Granny Tong is currently a guest at my manor."

"As for your daughter's matter, I really have nothing to say. Please forgive me, senior."

Li Qiushui was stunned when she heard the first sentence, but when she heard the second sentence, she couldn't help but snort coldly, but she didn't dwell on the matter.

She took a deep breath and asked again, "Since my senior sister is here, why won't she come out to see me? Could it be that something has happened to her health again?"

Xu Xingchen spread his arms, rode the white clouds and spun around in the air, and said with a smile, "Senior, look at my small body now, yet I possess great power. You should know that Granny Tong has already repaired and made up for the flaws in her Eight Desolations and Six Harmonies Supreme Technique."

"From that time on, the Child Granny's martial arts skills had no flaws."

A cold glint flashed in Li Qiushui's eyes, but she said casually, "My senior sister... she really fixed the flaw in the technique? That's truly something to celebrate."

"But where is my senior sister now? I've been here for so long, and she hasn't even said she'd come out to see me. Does she really have no regard for our sisterly bond?"

Just as Xu Xingchen was about to speak, a cold, arrogant, and domineering mature female voice rang in their ears. It was Wu Xingyun, the Heavenly Child Granny who was hiding in the cave behind the manor, who sent her voice using a technique similar to transmitting sound over a thousand miles.

"Li Qiushui, it's been so many years, you're still as hypocritical as ever, utterly repulsive."

"You rushed here to see me because you thought I was unwell and wanted to take advantage of my illness to kill me?"

Upon hearing the mature female voice, Li Qiushui's eyes widened in surprise for a moment before flashing with a strange light. She then responded loudly, "Senior Sister, you really are a guest here. I've arrived, and you didn't even announce my arrival to give me a proper welcome."

"Furthermore, as the Venerable Master of the Heavenly Mountain Spirit Vulture Palace, Senior Sister has an incomparably noble status, yet she utters foul language. Doesn't she feel ashamed of herself?"

"What hurt me the most was that when I came to visit you, you suspected me of having ulterior motives and wanting to harm you."

"Senior sister, your personality is still as narrow-minded as ever, prone to suspicion, and unable to trust others."

Wu Xingyun's cold laughter rang out again: "This Venerable One can curse whomever he wants. Who dares to question him? Who dares to utter a word?"

Li Qiushui clapped her hands lightly and said with a faint smile, "Senior Sister is still as domineering as ever, and she can't tolerate anyone disobeying her."

"However, since I'm here, I humbly request that Senior Sister come out and greet me."

Wu Xingyun sneered repeatedly: "Fine, you won't give up until you see me. I'll come out now and see my good junior sister."

Soon, a long red river composed of countless red plum blossom petals emerged from the cave behind the villa, soaring upwards.

Like a dragon soaring and a snake winding, they rapidly approached this direction.

As we moved forward, the long river of red plum blossoms would occasionally flash by, disappearing from its original spot and then reappearing a few feet away.

Hongmei Changhe flashed and darted several times, quickly arriving beside Xu Xingchen, who was confronting Li Qiushui.

Red plum blossom petals danced and fluttered in the air, swirling and spiraling towards a point where they collapsed and contracted.

boom!
The red plum petals burst open with a bang, revealing a tall figure in white.

Who else could it be but Wu Xingyun, a complex blend of arrogance, indifference, and domineering traits on a beautiful face?!

Li Qiushui looked at Wu Xingyun, whose face was still young but whose head was covered with strands of gray hair, and her expression changed again. She said softly, "Senior Sister, you've actually grown gray hair as you've grown up."

"Is it really because the flaw in the Eight Desolations and Six Directions Supreme Technique was repaired that the body has begun to age normally?"

"If that's the case, then your repair is worse than no repair at all. At least it would have kept the little brat looking cute."

Wu Xingyun looked at the woman in front of him with extreme disgust in his eyes and said coldly, "Mind your own business; you should worry about yourself."

"First you betrayed your junior brother, then you remarried the emperor of Western Xia. A shameless woman like you who doesn't uphold traditional virtues should go back to where you came from. I can't even be bothered with you."

Li Qiushui frowned her beautiful willow-leaf eyebrows, and said thoughtfully, "Senior sister, I am quite surprised that you didn't teach me a lesson."

"Why are you in such a hurry to get rid of me?"

"Is there something you're worried about? Or are you trying to hide something from me, your junior sister?"

Wu Xingyun's expression turned serious, and he pretended to be impatient, saying, "What nonsense are you spouting? Do you think everyone in the world is as vicious as you, who likes to stab people in the back and is always on guard against others plotting against you?"

"I was just too lazy to bother with you. Besides, the flaws in my cultivation technique have been eliminated, the old injuries in my body have healed, and I've returned to normal. I'm happy, so I let you go."

"Junior sister, don't be so stubborn. You'll only feel better if I give you a good beating."

Li Qiushui frowned even more deeply and shook her head, saying, "No, something's not right. This isn't like you, Senior Sister."

"Senior sister, you must be hiding something important from me. Could it be... the cave you just came out of?"

Li Qiushui's gaze passed over Wu Xingyun, whose expression had suddenly changed, and looked towards the row of stone statues carved behind the villa.

Suddenly, his figure transformed into a white rainbow once more, drawing a long arc in the air, passing over Xu Xingchen and Wu Xingyun, and rushing rapidly towards the back of the manor.

"Damn it! Stop it right now!"

Wu Xingyun stepped into the void, his figure suddenly spun around, and once again transformed into countless red plum blossom petals fluttering in the sky.
