The First Sword of the Universe

Chapter 518 Two seniors, let's test our skills as three people.
The majestic mountains stretch endlessly, covered with trees and forests.

At the foot of the devastated mountain, Xiao Feng and his son, Murong Fu and his son stood on the ground, glaring at each other.

Xu Xingchen, lifted into the air by white clouds, looked this way and that way, gently shook her head, and lowered the cloud to the ground.

As the white clouds rose and swirled, they transformed into wisps of ethereal snakes, which then burrowed into the acupoints all over his body.

He had already discerned that the two pairs of fathers and sons had been fighting fiercely for months, traversing thousands of miles.
Even with all the hatred and anger burning in their hearts, Xiao Yuanshan and his son Xiao Feng were now exhausted and unable to continue.

Murong Bo and his son Murong Fu were in the same state, exhausted both physically and mentally, and in dire need of rest and recuperation.

But in Xiao Yuanshan's heart, this was a battle to the death. Even if he was exhausted to death, he could not let his enemy Murong Bo leave alive.

When Xu Xingchen was still at Dayu Manor, he would sit and discuss philosophy with Wu Yazi and Wu Xingyun. Occasionally, when he needed to rest and clear his head, he would think of this matter.

I've tried all sorts of methods.

among them.

Just like in the story in the book, the two were made to fake their deaths one after the other in order to eliminate the hatred in Xiao Yuanshan's heart, and then they were made to heal each other's wounds to resolve all conflicts.

This is naturally the best solution, so no one has to die.

However, Xu Xingchen didn't know if she could do such a thing.

Later, he came up with an extremely drastic solution.

He instructed Xiao Yuanshan to kill Murong Bo first, and then he himself would die from exhaustion.
For specific details, refer to the world in the book: the final fate of Tianshan Tonglao and Li Qiushui in front of Xuzhu.

perish together.

This might be a way to resolve hatred!

As for whether the next generation will inherit their hatred?
In Xu Xingchen's view, as long as the persuasion is done properly, the future troubles should be eliminated.

at this time.

He witnessed the battle between Murong Bo and Xiao Yuanshan with his own eyes, and immediately felt relieved.

He knew that even if he acted according to the plot of the book, he would be 80-90% confident.

After two cycles of rejuvenation and regeneration, Xu Xingchen's already profound internal strength had reached an unparalleled and incredible level.

When he left Dayu Manor, he knew that the Three Elders of Xiaoyao were no longer his match.

Although Murong Bo and Xiao Yuanshan were highly skilled in martial arts, he was confident that he could kill them with a single palm strike, making them appear to die, and then use the healing techniques from the Holy Scripture to heal each other.
In the world of the book, he can do what the Sweeping Monk can do.

But should we do it?

He was still a little hesitant!

As he pondered this, he approached the four men and, looking at the tense standoff, couldn't help but sigh.

Xiao Yuanshan, who was glaring angrily at Murong Bo, immediately turned to Xu Xingchen upon hearing the sigh and said sternly, "What are you sighing about, junior? Are you trying to persuade me to let go of my hatred, like those monks from Shaolin Temple?"

Although the young man before them was a top expert in the Heavenly Realm, they had also comprehended the state of harmony between heaven and man in recent times, becoming experts of the same level. They were not afraid of the young man interfering in their affairs.

Of course, if this young man sides with his enemy, he should be careful.

Murong Bo's gaze also turned over, and the same thought flashed through his mind.

However, after thinking about it, I realized I was overthinking it.

A complete stranger who doesn't stand by and watch the show or try to profit from it is already considered an upright person in the martial arts world.

Intervene in their feud? Try to persuade them to let go of their hatred?

Why?
What benefit would it bring to the young man in front of him?
Could it be based on a compassionate heart?
Xiao Feng and Murong Fu stared at Xu Xingchen with thoughtful expressions in their eyes.

The feud between these two stemmed entirely from their elders.

Murong Fu harbored no hatred towards Xiao Feng and his son; throughout their journey, he was essentially the one being hunted down.

If Xiao Feng and his son were willing to resolve their feud, he would be more than willing.

In comparison, he was more eager to fight for his family's dream of a "Great Yan Dynasty".

萧峰
He was ousted from his position as gang leader by his own gang members and expelled from the Beggars' Sect.

However, thanks to Xu Xingchen's reminder, he rushed back to his home at the foot of Shaoshi Mountain in time and stopped his biological father from killing his adoptive parents and the Shaolin Temple master.

Furthermore, because he knew in advance his father's true enemy, he immediately joined forces with his father to hunt down Murong Bo, thus avoiding the subsequent story of being entangled with A'Zhu for the rest of his life.

This also avoided the infamous battle between Juxian Manor and the martial arts world of the Song Dynasty, thus preventing a true blood feud with the Song martial arts community.

Plus.
The feud between them and Murong Fu and his son was made public.

The abbot of Shaolin Temple was punished and beaten to death, among other things.

The hatred and wariness that the martial arts people of the Song Dynasty felt towards Xiao Feng were not as fierce as depicted in the story. On the contrary, because of Murong Bo's schemes and tricks that led to the destruction of Xiao Feng's family, they secretly felt some sympathy for Xiao Feng and his father.

Therefore, although Xiao Feng had a pent-up frustration that he couldn't vent, it wasn't as intense as it was in the world depicted in the book.

If his father were willing to resolve the feud with Murong Bo, he might not be unable to let go of the hatred in his heart.

The key to the conflict among the four lies with Murong Bo and Xiao Yuanshan.

Hearing Xiao Yuanshan's menacing question, Xu Xingchen smiled and shook her head: "I have no intention of interfering in your feud."

"The reason I sigh is only because your martial arts skills have gone astray."

Before Murong Bo and Xiao Yuanshan could refute him, he continued, "You two faked your deaths and hid in the Shaolin Temple's Sutra Pavilion, secretly learning the Seventy-Two Extraordinary Shaolin Arts for many years, and now you've only managed a draw against your own son."

"After two or three decades of arduous training, your martial arts have made absolutely no progress."

"Such a futile effort, how can I not feel sorry for the two of you?"

Murong Bo's eyes narrowed, and his composed and carefree demeanor instantly dissipated.

Xiao Yuanshan's face was gloomy as he retorted, "What do you, a junior, know? Crossing from the Earth Realm to the Heaven Realm is fraught with difficulties and arduous at every step."

"Without the accumulation of these past two or three decades, we would never have been able to cultivate to the Heavenly Realm."

Xu Xingchen said quietly, "But your sons Xiao Feng and Murong Fu, without undergoing twenty or thirty years of long accumulation, also cultivated to the Heavenly Realm."

"Compared to the other side, haven't you two wasted twenty or thirty years of your lives? Or rather, taken twenty or thirty years of detours?"

"How pathetic! How lamentable!"

Even if Xiao Yuanshan had a terrible temper, he was speechless in the face of Xu Xingchen's shake of the head and sigh.

After a moment, unable to contain his anger and embarrassment, he said, "Don't think that just because you're a master of the Heavenly Realm, you're qualified to judge our martial arts."

Murong Bo said with displeasure, "Young brother, with such a statement, aren't you afraid of offending all four of us at the same time?"

Xiao Feng, standing to the side, frowned and said, "Brother Xu, please be careful with your words!"

Only Murong Fu's eyes flickered, and he remained silent.

He had joined forces with Kumārajīva, a master of the "Heavenly Realm," but they still couldn't defeat the person before him. Later, he visited this person at Dayu Manor and spent several days discussing the Dao. He deeply realized how unfathomable the person before him was in martial arts.

Now, the person before them is commenting on the martial arts skills of their own father and their enemy's father right in front of them; they truly have the right to do so.

Xu Xingchen continued his mocking tone, saying, "It's not that I want to comment on your martial arts, but rather that your skills have truly disappointed me."

Turning to Qiao Feng, Xu Xingchen said with a meaningful look in his eyes, "Brother Qiao Xiao, please calm down for now. Let me experience the martial arts of your father and this old gentleman Murong." Xiao Feng seemed to understand the hidden meaning in Xu Xingchen's eyes, and his brows twitched slightly.

Xu Xingchen had done him a great favor by "revealing the plot," so he trusted him to some extent and thought to himself, "Could it be that Brother Xu has a way to resolve the hatred between my father and that old scoundrel Murong?"

"But... how could that be?"

"Let's see what Brother Xu does."

Thinking of this, he said in a deep voice, "Although I don't know what Brother Xu is planning, I must remind you not to underestimate the martial arts of my father and that old thief Murong."

Xu Xingchen nodded, then looked at Xiao Yuanshan and Murong Bo again, and said with a smile, "Gentlemen, how about the three of us give it a try?"

Having said that, he raised both hands before the two could react.

Black and white energy surged from his left hand like swimming fish, instantly intertwining and swirling together, transforming into a magnetic ring that spun rapidly and hurtled towards Murong Bo's face.

Extremely fast!

A red current condensed in her right hand, forming a winding, fluttering, bright red ribbon that swept towards Xiao Yuanshan with lightning speed.

As soon as Xu Xingchen made his move, he simultaneously unleashed two of his signature techniques, launching an attack on the two of them together.

The decisiveness and speed of their actions were beyond the expectations of everyone present.

"presumptuous!"

"Be bold!"

Xiao Yuanshan and Murong Bo shouted almost simultaneously.

One person raised his palm and unleashed a golden palm print over ten feet in size, which was none other than the Vajra Palm, one of the Seventy-Two Extraordinary Arts of Shaolin.

With a single punch, a fist imprint the size of a millstone roared out; it was the Arhat Fist, one of the Seventy-Two Extraordinary Arts of Shaolin.

Xiao Yuanshan's Vajra Palm Print slammed towards the oncoming red ribbon, but unexpectedly, the red ribbon was incredibly agile and bypassed the Vajra Palm Print's interception in a flash, continuing to wrap around Xiao Yuanshan's body.

Murong Bo's Arhat Fist was extremely fierce, and it quickly collided with the Yuan Magnetic Ring.

Dang~~~!

A resounding, booming sound echoed outwards.

The Arhat's fist shadow, as large as a millstone, exploded with a thunderous roar, its energy surging in all directions.

The Yuan Magnetic Ring retreated three feet, then spun in mid-air, leaving a blurry afterimage as it hurtled towards Murong Bo's shoulder.

Murong Bo was proficient in martial arts from all schools and sects, and his family's Dou Zhuan Xing Yi Divine Skill was unparalleled. In addition, he had heard from his son that the young man in front of him knew a set of skills that were extremely similar to their family's divine skill.

Therefore, I was already somewhat on guard when we first started fighting.

But things still turned out beyond his expectations.

After exchanging only one move, he was at a disadvantage, which caused a slight tremor in his mind.

In a moment of haste, he suddenly raised his arm again, his palm turning golden, and with one palm, he sent the black and white ring flying once more.

The Yuan Magnetic Ring spun rapidly, launching a relentless attack on Murong Bo.

The clanging and tinkling sounds echoed through the mountains and forests.

Each intense collision would spark up brilliant, firework-like sparks, bursting out in concentric rings of energy.

The Yuan Magnetic Ring's ability to absorb and convert force, and to use leverage against force, far exceeded Murong Bo's imagination.

Even though he tried his best and used all the martial arts from the Seventy-Two Extraordinary Techniques of Shaolin, he could only knock away the afterimage-filled Yuan Magnetic Ring, but could not destroy or disintegrate it.

the other direction.

Xiao Yuanshan was equally helpless against the several-foot-long red ribbon that was flying and swirling around him.

It soars like a dragon, moves nimbly like a snake, winding and dancing, rising and coiling.

The several-foot-long red ribbon repeatedly dodged Xiao Yuanshan's violent and domineering attacks.

Sometimes, it's unavoidable, and a violent collision will occur.

Amidst the booming explosions, enormous lotus flowers of fire burst open, stunning and beautiful.

However, even with such a fierce clash, Xiao Yuanshan's fists and feet were still no match for the several-foot-long red ribbon.

He was repeatedly attacked and entangled by the several-foot-long red ribbon, forced to dodge left and right, his figure in a sorry state.

Xu Xingchen immediately put the two at a disadvantage.

Such an unbelievable battle scene made Murong Bo and Xiao Yuanshan, who were fighting Xu Xingchen for the first time, wonder if their eyes were hallucinating.

Otherwise, how could such an illogical thing happen?

A young junior is fighting against the two of them.

Two people.
Two top experts who broke through to the Heavenly Realm
This situation truly shocked and shocked them, leaving them in disbelief.

Murong Fu, who was watching the fight from the sidelines, thought to himself, "This Master Xu's martial arts are even more unfathomable than before."

Xiao Feng frowned, a hint of disbelief in his eyes.

When he fought Xu Xingchen, he knew that the other party was hiding his strength, but he never expected that the hidden power of the other party would be so amazing.

Xiao Feng has always been fearless, and when fighting others, he can often unleash powerful combat abilities that exceed his own limits.

Seeing Xu Xingchen fighting two opponents at once, he also felt that he was no match for her.

With her left hand, Xu Xingchen commanded the Yuan Magnetic Ring, and with her right hand, she controlled a several-foot-long red ribbon, suppressing Xiao Yuanshan and Murong Bo to the point that they could only passively counterattack and were unable to launch an offensive.

During this period, he sat down and discussed philosophy with Wu Yazi and Wu Xingyun, which not only greatly increased his skill level, but also greatly benefited him in terms of martial arts.

Even he himself cannot estimate just how powerful his martial arts skills are now.

He was even capable of defeating Murong Bo and Xiao Yuanshan in a single move.

The process by which the Sweeper Monk defeated the two men in the book is exactly as described.

Xu Xingchen didn't defeat them in one blow to save face for them.

However, not many were left.

Murong Bo and Xiao Yuanshan shouted and yelled, unleashing all their skills, displaying the seventy-two extraordinary techniques of Shaolin in a dazzling display, with gusts of wind shooting out in all directions.

Murong Bo even used his own Dou Zhuan Xing Yi Divine Skill and Can He Finger.
They still couldn't do anything to Xu Xingchen.

He was still being dominated by Xu Xingchen.

Xu Xingchen stood still, waving her arms but not moving a single step.

He wanted to shatter the arrogance in their hearts.

Let the two of them know the tragedy of the Yangtze River, where the new generation pushes the old one aside, and the old one dies on the beach.

in this way.

Only then can we proceed with the subsequent matters.
