The First Sword of the Universe

Chapter 73 Hunyuan Qi, rebound force

Xu Xingchen gladly accepted the invitation to fight from his senior brother.

He was also looking for someone to test the results of his research.

The strength of the eldest brother is barely enough!

The March wind is still a bit cold at this height halfway up the mountain.

In an open woodland near the cave, Linghu Chong and Xu Xingchen stood facing each other, three meters apart.

Linghu Chong slowly drew out his sword and warned, "Little Junior Brother, you must be careful this time. I have learned something new from Master Feng. If you are careless, you may be defeated!"

Xu Xingchen also drew out his sword and said with a modest smile: "Big Brother, I will be careful."

Ding!
The two sword lights collided with each other rapidly, and the clear sound of the collision echoed in the forest.

With the first sword collision, Xu Xingchen clearly felt a strong rebound force coming from the sword, which made the sword body buzz. He knew that his senior brother Linghu Chong had also cultivated true qi.

Ding Ding Ding!
Linghu Chong's sword light was like fish looking for a gap to swim in, constantly rushing towards the flaws and loopholes in his junior brother's swordsmanship.

His swordsmanship was more ferocious, faster, and more acumen-intensive than it had been three months ago.

From the time Xu Xingchen raised the sword to the time he drew it, to the time he was halfway through drawing it, and then to the time his sword skills were exhausted, in just this short period of time, Linghu Chong's sword light was able to find seven or eight flaws in it, bringing the "Sword Breaking Style" of the Dugu Nine Swords to a new level.

Linghu Chong, who has cultivated true qi, is so powerful!

Xu Xingchen was not panicked at all and responded calmly. Before the first sword was finished, the second sword started again, and then he jumped into the third sword move, and derived the fourth sword from it.
He innovated and updated the thirteen styles of Huashan swordsmanship, and used them in an exquisite and decisive way, which was incredible, which made Linghu Chong marvel and feel extremely excited.

The fierce fighting continued.

Linghu Chong felt that his junior fellow apprentice's sword had also broken away from the constraints of sword techniques. Even the familiar Huashan Thirteen Sword Techniques slowly became untraceable and unbreakable. Every move was so imaginative and unpredictable that it left without a trace.

It is magical and wonderful, ever-changing, and all exists in one heart.

There were even times when the sword's counterattack forced him to start parrying and blocking.

"Nine Swords of Dugu, they have always only been used for attacking, not blocking. How could I start defending?"

".Junior brother, it seems that you are still using the Thirteen Forms of Huashan, but in fact, you have already entered the realm of no moves being better than moves."

Linghu Chong felt the pressure, and the changes in the sword in his hand became more and more exquisite. The sword energy on the sword increased to the point of making a "chi chi chi" sound of breaking through the air.

The Lonely Nine Swords is an extraordinary sword technique that becomes weaker when facing the weak, and becomes stronger when facing the strong!
However, as time passed, the pressure Linghu Chong felt not only did not ease, but became heavier.

He found that his junior brother's sword-drawing speed was getting faster and faster. His eyes could no longer keep up with the changes in the sword light. How could he still attack and break through?

shhhhhh!
Three consecutive sword lights, like three lightning bolts, illuminated the clearing in the forest.

Linghu Chong broke the first sword, blocked the second sword, and seeing that the third sword was approaching his chest, he quickly held the sword across his chest.

Ding!
Xu Xingchen's sword pierced the spine of Linghu Chong's sword, and Linghu Chong's true energy burst out from the sword, breaking Xu Xingchen's sword.

Tatata!
Xu Xingchen retreated three steps in a row, each step was one zhang away, and he stopped three zhang away.

The two men returned to the distance they were at when they first started fighting.

Xu Xingchen sighed inwardly, then smiled and said, "Big Brother, how about we end our competition here?"

".Okay!" Linghu Chong frowned, sheathed his sword, his face full of confusion and depression.

The two returned to the cave and sat down by the campfire again.

Xu Xingchen took a clay pot, filled it with water from the stone jar, and started to boil it on the campfire.

At this moment, Linghu Chong still couldn't figure out some things. He couldn't help but sigh and said, "I thought I learned the Hunyuan Gong from Uncle Feng and transformed my internal energy into Hunyuan Qi, so I could defeat Junior Brother. In the end, I almost lost to him."

"Hey? In the book world of The Smiling, Proud Wanderer, did the Huashan Sect ever have Hunyuan Gong? I can't quite remember."

Xu Xingchen pondered in his heart, added two pieces of dry firewood to the bonfire, and showed an interested look: "I said, just now during the sword duel, I clearly felt that the sword of the senior brother had an extremely strong rebound force attached to it. It turned out to be the Hunyuan Qi!"

"Congratulations, Senior Brother, for once again receiving the true teachings from Grandmaster Feng. In our Huashan Sect, I think only Master's Zixia Divine Art can be compared with the Hunyuan Art that Grandmaster Feng taught you!"

Linghu Chong smiled, temporarily waving away the depression in his heart. He took off the wine gourd from his waist, uncorked it, and gulped down a few mouthfuls. While wiping the wine stains from the corners of his mouth, he said, "Master Feng also said so. He said that the Hunyuan Gong he taught me is not inferior to the Zixia Divine Art. I don't know if it's true."

"However, the practice method of this set of Hunyuan Gong is different from others. It is a method of practicing from the outside to the inside. Once you learn it, you can practice it while practicing sword skills. You can use sword skills to drive the circulation of true energy. This method of practice is really incredible."

Xu Xingchen thought, "Isn't this the purpose of the Sword Sect to control Qi with the sword? Even the cultivation of internal energy is like this, it really deserves to be called the Sword Sect!" But he heard Linghu Chong say, "The Hunyuan Qi is masculine and majestic, and the Hunyuan is one; the initial practice is slow, and the more you practice, the stronger the power will be. Every time you fight with others, you can burst out a strong rebound force, even against heavy weapons, you can break them apart. Combined with the attack of Dugu Nine Swords, it can be said that it is invincible, and there are few rivals in the world."

"I have only been practicing for a short time, so my power is not obvious, but I don't think you can fight against me, little junior brother."

At this point, Linghu Chong stared at his junior fellow apprentice and asked suspiciously, "Could it be that junior fellow apprentice has also cultivated true qi?"

Xu Xingchen laughed and said frankly: "Big Brother, why do you think I came here to practice in seclusion as soon as I returned to the mountain?"

"It is precisely because of this experience that I have gained something from going down the mountain that I want to practice in seclusion and create a Qi method that suits me!"

Linghu Chong's eyes widened in disbelief: "You also created your own internal skills? This... this..."

After being speechless for a while, he asked doubtfully, "So you really succeeded?"

Xu Xingchen nodded and said, "That's right! Not long ago, I just completed the deduction and transformed my internal energy into true energy!"

Linghu Chong looked Xu Xingchen up and down for a long while, gave him a thumbs up, and was speechless.

In the following time, Linghu Chong kept pouring wine into his mouth, and before leaving, he patted his junior brother's shoulder vigorously.

Xu Xingchen stood on the hillside, watching his senior brother disappear into the forest below. Suddenly, he turned back and asked in surprise, "Senior brother, what else?"

Linghu Chong scratched the back of his head a little embarrassedly: "I forgot to ask you one thing, Junior Brother, will the Qi you have cultivated make your sword-drawing speed faster?"

Xu Xingchen smiled and said, "Yes, with the help of true qi, my sword-drawing speed will be greatly improved!"

Linghu Chong muttered in a low voice: "No wonder. When we were fighting for a while, my eyes could hardly keep up with your sword-drawing speed."

"Junior brother, I'm really leaving this time!"

After saying this, Linghu Chong turned around again and went down the mountain.

Xu Xingchen watched Linghu Chong disappear at the foot of the mountain, and said helplessly in his heart: "Big Brother is no longer a suitable candidate for a test, and Master and his wife are probably not my opponents. Then, it seems that the only suitable candidate on the mountain is Uncle Master Feng."

"But, if I want him to fight with me, I'm afraid it's hard."

After going down the mountain, Linghu Chong returned to the Cliff of Repentance. In the evening, his sixth junior fellow apprentice Lu Dayou brought him food.

When Lu Dayou went down the mountain and left, Feng Qingyang appeared beside Linghu Chong.

Nowadays, everyone on the mountain knows about the existence of Uncle Master Feng, so whenever Linghu Chong is guarding the Cliff of Regret, the people who deliver meals will consciously order an extra portion of food. The purpose is self-evident.

Feng Qingyang was not polite either. Every time someone brought food to Linghu Chong, he would show up, sit next to him and enjoy it with them.

Feng Qingyang was still dressed in blue cloth, with thin cheeks and a face as pale as gold paper. Perhaps because he had found a good successor, the heavy mood between his brows had dissipated a lot.

He looked at Lu Dayou jumping down the mountain and commented calmly, "He looks like a monkey, with strength running through his body. I think when your sixth junior brother draws his sword, it must be fast and fierce, with amazing momentum!"

When Linghu Chong saw Feng Qingyang appear, he quickly stood up, bowed, and then said with a smile: "Uncle Taishi, you are right. Junior Brother Lu's martial arts skills have greatly improved in recent days. Now, if he is placed in the martial arts world, he is also a master who can stand on his own!"

Feng Qingyang snorted: "He is just a master in a corner. If he wants to make a name for himself in the Five Mountains Sword Sect, he needs to practice hard for another ten years!"

"Uncle Taishi, you have a sharp eye and are right!" Linghu Chong held up the food box and invited him, "Come on, Uncle Taishi, let's go into the cave and eat."

After entering the cave, Feng Qingyang turned a blind eye to the newly added stone cave nearby. He had been there many times and had seen the pictures on the wall of the stone chamber in the mountain.

During the meal, Feng Qingyang suddenly asked, "Did you go to see your junior fellow apprentice today? Did you fight with him?"

Linghu Chong nodded and said frankly: "After the competition, I lost again!"

Feng Qingyang hummed lightly at first, then reacted and said in surprise: "You lost? You have already cultivated the Primordial Qi, what can he use to deal with you? Unless he has also cultivated the Primordial Qi?"

Linghu Chong praised: "Uncle Grandmaster, you are really smart and you reacted immediately. Not bad, Junior Brother has also cultivated true Qi!"

"So, your stingy master has already passed on the Purple Cloud Divine Art to him?" Feng Qingyang frowned, and after a moment, nodded as if it was natural: "Come to think of it, among his disciples, only that kid has comprehended the charm of the sword technique. If he doesn't pass it on to him, who else can he pass it on to?!"

Linghu Chong ignored Feng Qingyang's words scolding his master for being "stingy" and said with a smile: "Uncle Taishi, you guessed wrong on this point. Junior Brother created a new technique and cultivated his true Qi!"

Feng Qingyang paused his meal when he heard this. Although there was no change on his face, his eyes were a little dazed.

After a long while, he murmured, "What a little monster!"
