The First Sword of the Universe

Chapter 513 Two Terrifying Women
A long white streak passed over Dayu Mountain Villa, creating a rumbling sound of air explosions.

"Damn it, stop right there!"

With a furious shout from Wu Xingyun, a long river of red plum petals followed closely behind, sometimes drifting and dancing, sometimes shimmering like a phantom.

When the white rainbow reached the vicinity of the row of statues on the cliff behind, the Red Plum River had already approached within ten zhang (approximately 33 meters).

next moment.

A thick, black plum branch suddenly emerged from the void, spreading forward like lightning, sprouting countless branches in a flash, instantly transforming into a large black net that enveloped and intercepted the white rainbow.

laugh!
The white rainbow seemed to be stuck in a quagmire, its flight speed suddenly decreased, and for a moment it was unable to break through the invisible restraints of the black plum branches.

"Humph!"

Li Qiushui snorted coldly, and a fairy figure appeared in the white rainbow. A slender jade hand was wrapped in white lightning, and she pushed forward with a palm.

Boom!

Amidst a fierce explosion of energy, large swathes of black plum branches shattered and tumbled into the air.

However, more black plum branches spread and grew, forming a net-like canopy.

Countless flower buds grow and bloom on the branches, transforming into vibrant red plum blossoms, a sight of unparalleled beauty.

Bang bang bang.
Li Qiushui unleashed several palm strikes in a flash, shattering the surrounding black plum branches into pieces, causing large sections to collapse and crumble.

Also shattered were the newly sprouted red plum blossoms.

They fluttered and swirled in the air, as if a dazzling rain of plum blossoms had fallen.

One of the plum blossoms fluttered and drifted in the air, breaking through layers of energy barriers, and approached the white rainbow.

Bang!
Suddenly, a burst of red plum blossoms exploded, filling the sky and captivating Li Qiushui's eyes.

A figure in white emerged from the crowd and struck Li Qiushui in the chest with a palm strike.

His palm strike was like thunder, fierce and domineering.

Half of the white rainbow was smashed to pieces, and Li Qiushui's figure fell out from it.

"Senior sister, why are you in such a hurry? What secret is hidden inside that cave?"

Li Qiushui asked with a light laugh, her feet stepping through the air, leaving a seemingly real yet illusory afterimage in her place. Her true form appeared silently behind Wu Xingyun and struck out with a palm.

Wu Xingyun immediately turned around and struck out with his palm.

The two palms collided, creating a violent explosion and a burst of wind.

Li Qiushui's figure, like a phantom in the water, slowly disappeared before Wu Xingyun's eyes.

Another palm strike suddenly attacked from Wu Xingyun's left ribs, moving with such speed that it was as fast as a white horse flashing past a crack.

Wu Xingyun sneered, his body exploding into countless red plum blossoms that flew through the air, before reforming in another location.

Li Qiushui treads on the void, her steps swaying and leaving a shadow with each sway.

After walking a few steps, several figures were left in all directions, each with an ethereal grace and charming eyes, as if a fairy descended to earth, captivating all who saw them and making them unable to resist their allure.

Xu Xingchen, who was watching from behind, understood perfectly and couldn't help but clap his hands in admiration, saying, "The Lingbo Weibu (Lingbo Steps) was indeed performed by its founder, which is why its essence can be brought out."

Li Qiushui moved with the light-footed grace of Lingbo Weibu, leaving behind ethereal, fairy-like figures in the air. These figures could shift from real to illusory, and from illusory to real.

The shift between reality and illusion is entirely at her command.

Wu Xingyun's movements were as swift as a ghost, and she would occasionally use the falling plum blossom petals to cover her tracks, making it impossible for anyone to predict the direction of her attacks or the angle from which she would dodge.

These two are old rivals, and they also come from the same school, so they know each other's martial arts inside and out. They have also fought many battles together.
If a fight breaks out now, it will be a clash of equals, a meeting of brilliant minds.

The fight was extremely intense!
Inside the villa, the group looked up at the sky, where plum blossoms sometimes bloomed and branches stretched across the sky; at other times, ethereal figures floated by and petals fell in profusion.

Their eyes were wide open and their mouths were agape.

The incredibly intense explosions of energy, like thunderclaps, resounded in everyone's ears.

They had to circulate their internal energy to withstand the aftershocks of their battle.

Xu Xingchen rode the white clouds, quietly bypassing the battlefield where the two were fighting, and arrived at the entrance of the cave below the cliff on the back mountain.

Inside, it was still a world of ice and snow, with a crystal ice ball about ten feet in size in the center imprisoning Wu Yazi's rejuvenated little body.

It resembles a piece of amber.

Red and turquoise light emanated from it, rising and falling as if alive, reflecting and complementing each other.

Xu Xingchen would never tolerate Li Qiushui entering and interrupting Wu Yazi's healing process.

He stood guard at the cave entrance, looking up at the increasingly large battle in the sky. He could tell that the two were now locked in a fierce fight, their attacks becoming more ruthless and their strength increasing.

It was much more ferocious than when we fought.

Suddenly
The two men, caught in the midst of their fierce battle, froze in mid-air, their eyes wide with shock, and stopped moving.

In contrast, the thick plum branch that stretched across the void was bursting with clusters of plum blossoms the size of bowls at each of its twists and turns.

In the center of those plum blossom petals, tiny white-clad figures, each about the size of a thumb, were engaged in fierce combat.

It turned out that Wu Xingyun had unleashed the Plum Blossom Arena of the Tianshan Plum Blossom Hand, capturing Li Qiushui's thoughts within it.

Xu Xingchen's eyes lit up as he focused his gaze and saw that among the more than ninety plum blossoms, there were white figures, each about the size of a thumb, flickering in and out.

"The Heavenly Plum Blossom Hand of the Child Granny can actually split a person's spirit into more than ninety plum blossom fighting arenas at the same time, allowing them to fight against others simultaneously?"

"This is unbelievable!"

"Can a person's mental thoughts really split into more than ninety at the same time?"

"What immense spiritual power it would take to do that."

"Furthermore, even if one's mental power can generate so many thoughts at the same time, how can the Child Granny concentrate on controlling each thought and making different actions?"

"If Granny Tong had used this move when I sparred with her, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to handle it."

"At that time, the only option will be to forcefully break through those Plum Blossom Arenas with overwhelming power, allowing the spiritual consciousness to return to the physical body immediately."

Xu Xingchen looked up at the battlefield in the sky, completely baffled.

Li Qiushui was clearly unable to cope with this extraordinary technique of Wu Xingyun, the Child Granny of Tianshan.

In the arena filled with plum blossoms, her tiny figures, no bigger than a thumb, moved stiffly and stared blankly as they were repeatedly defeated by Wu Xingyun.

Each time a mental thought was destroyed, Li Qiushui, standing in mid-air, would tremble slightly, her brows furrowing. As more and more mental thoughts were destroyed, Li Qiushui's body shook like a leaf, a hint of pain showing in her bewildered eyes.

However, as more and more of her mental thoughts were destroyed, fewer and fewer remained, and her attention gradually became focused again.

Then, with his remaining strength, he destroyed Wu Xingyun's thought clones in the other Plum Blossom Arena one by one.

Li Qiushui used a violent method of mutual destruction to achieve such an effect.

The most powerful and unique technique created by the Tianshan Plum Blossom Hand, the Plum Blossom Arena, was thus broken.

Retracting her damaged mental thoughts back into her body, Li Qiushui's bewildered eyes regained their divine light.

She came back to life.

But the next moment, she trembled violently, touched her forehead with her hand, closed her eyes, and frowned.

Wu Xingyun, who also withdrew his mental thoughts into his body, swayed slightly before quickly regaining his senses.

"Hahaha, junior sister, after so many battles, you still haven't learned your lesson. You've been defeated by my Tianshan Zhemei once again."

"This time, let's see where you can run to?"

Before he finished speaking, Wu Xingyun unleashed a series of palm strikes with both hands.

Those palm prints swelled in the wind, transforming into millstone-sized handprints that bombarded Li Qiushui relentlessly.

Li Qiushui frowned slightly, opened her eyes, and her figure swayed gracefully, like a fairy in flowing robes, walking leisurely in the sky.

Those fierce Tianshan Six Yang Palm imprints rushed in, crashing and shooting wildly, yet they seemed to be striking a phantom shadow or a formless breeze, always missing their mark, missing their mark, and missing their mark again.
Li Qiushui rubbed her throbbing temples and brow with her slender fingers, almost instinctively using the world's number one movement technique to prevent herself from being hit by the Heavenly Mountain Child Granny.

Seeing that his attacks missed Li Qiushui, Wu Xingyun flew into a rage and shouted angrily, "Damn it! Damn it! It's the Lingbo Weibu again!"

"Without this footwork, you would have died at my hands long ago."

Having barely regained some clarity, Li Qiushui continued to rub her temples with her fingers, her feet moving with the Lingbo Weibu (a martial arts technique), and she boasted with a teasing laugh, "This Lingbo Weibu is a peerless movement technique that my senior brother and I mastered together by playing the qin, xiao, and se (another martial arts technique) late into the night, studying and comprehending it together."

"The movement technique that my senior brother and I created together is enough to defend ourselves against my senior sister's Tianshan Plum Blossom Hand and Tianshan Six Yang Palms."

Wu Xingyun grew even angrier, and his attacks became increasingly rapid and violent.

At the same time, she shouted angrily, "You bitch, if you're so capable, don't hide! If you're so capable, don't use your Lingbo Weibu (a martial arts technique)!"

Li Qiushui, resembling a sickly and delicate Lin Daiyu, swayed her waist gently, leaving behind a series of alluring, ethereal figures in the air. She chuckled, "The Lingbo Weibu (Lingbo Steps) was specially taught to me by my senior brother so I could save my life."

"My senior sister is ruthless and wants to injure me. Only my senior brother can protect me."

"Very well! Very well! I'll leave for now, and you can come visit me again another day, junior sister."

As Li Qiushui's ethereal and enchanting voice echoed in the air, one after another, ethereal figures in white robes flashed past Wu Xingyun's interception and rushed out of the valley.

Wu Xingyun was faster than Li Qiushui, but despite her several attempts to intercept her, she was unable to stop Li Qiushui, who was determined to escape.

The two fought their way to the entrance of the valley, where Li Qiushui once again broke through Wu Xingyun's obstruction and escaped down the mountain.

In the end, Wu Xingyun could only stomp his right foot hard, creating a burst of air ripples beneath his feet.

Although Wu Xingyun's martial arts skills are superior to Li Qiushui's, Li Qiushui has the Lingbo Weibu (a martial arts technique) to protect her. Every time she is defeated by Wu Xingyun, she can escape safely.

Normally, Wu Xingyun would not have let Li Qiushui escape so easily. He would have chased after her for ten days or half a month, making Li Qiushui suffer before he would stop.

Right now, her good junior brother Wuyazi is still healing his illness and injuries in the cave, and she doesn't want to leave him for even a moment.

Therefore, after sulking for a while, he returned to the cave.

Her feet landed lightly.

Xu Xingchen, who was waiting at the cave entrance, said with a smile, "Grandma Tong, your junior sister is quite clever."

"With just a few words, I guessed that you were hiding a secret in this manor."

"I don't think she'll give up so easily; she'll be back in a few days."

Wu Xingyun said with displeasure, "So what? Even if she knows that Junior Brother is here, she is already married to someone else. Does she think she can take Junior Brother away from me?"

Xu Xingchen's lips twitched slightly as he reminded her, "Your junior sister is unconventional in her actions and may not care about worldly etiquette and rules."

Wu Xingyun waved his hand, walked into the cave, and said with great confidence, "What's there to be afraid of? It's just a matter of meeting force with force and dealing with water with water."

"Now that I've recovered, that bitch will never be able to take my junior brother away from me."

Xu Xingchen shook her head, turned to look at Wu Yazi inside the crystal ice ball, and thought to herself, "This is your emotional debt, senior. You'll have to resolve it yourself from now on."

"The women Duan Zhengchun liked were all martial artists, each with a strong personality, a fiery temper, and a tendency to be jealous and fight with each other."

Even with Duan Zhengchun's seasoned skills in the ways of love, he still couldn't make his women get along peacefully.

"Senior, you only have two debts of affection, but both of them are top-tier masters in the world."

"A revered master of the Lingjiu Palace in Tianshan, commanding tens of thousands of martial artists across thirty-six caves and seventy-two islands, is a powerful overlord who controls a region of the martial arts world."

"One of them was the mother of the King of Western Xia, the high-ranking Empress Dowager."

"Compared to Duan Zhengchun's lovers, these two are even more troublesome and have much more domineering tempers."

"Tsk tsk tsk, two women vying for one man... it's bound to be a terrifying battleground."

"Let's see how you handle the relationship between the three of you in the future."

Xu Xingchen pulled herself out of her reverie, bid farewell to Wu Xingyun, the Child Granny of Tianshan Mountain, and turned to leave the cave.

One thing Wu Xingyun said is correct.

Even if Li Qiushui comes to the manor to investigate again in the future, the way to deal with her is simply to meet force with force and deal with water with water.

Moreover, once Senior Wuyazi finishes healing, let him come out and resolve the conflict between the two terrifying women on his own!
Seeing the invading enemy retreat, the others in the manor looked at each other for a moment, then went about their own business.

Jingle bells
The sound of hammers striking chisels soon echoed again behind the villa.

Leaving aside what happened at Big Fish Manor, everything proceeded as usual.

After Li Qiushui escaped down the mountain, she saw that her senior sister did not pursue her relentlessly for ten or fifteen days as she had done before. She knew that what her senior sister had been doing in the manor must have been extremely important.

It was so important that even her senior sister temporarily set aside her hatred for her.
"Hehe, Senior Sister, whatever you want to do in that manor, I will do everything in my power to thwart it, and I will definitely not let you get what you want."

"Hiss~~~! My head hurts so much. Senior Sister's Tianshan Plum Blossom Hand is becoming more and more difficult to deal with."

"I need to think of a way."
