The First Sword of the Universe

Chapter 83 Have you heard that Xu Xingchen has learned the Star Absorbing Technique?

Facing Feng Qingyang's question, Xu Xingchen smiled "guilty" and said, "That was an adventure I had when I was traveling around the world!"

"It looks like it is somewhat similar to the Qingcheng Sect's Crane's Lie in the Nine Skies Divine Art."

Feng Qingyang was so knowledgeable that even Yue Buqun knew the secret, so how could he not know it? When he said this, his tone was particularly meaningful.

Xu Xingchen half-truthfully said, "When the Qingcheng Sect was robbed, I happened to be traveling in western Sichuan, so I took the opportunity to go up the mountain and found it."

Feng Qingyang waved his hand to stop him from continuing: "It doesn't matter. As long as a martial artist survives, he will always encounter some big and small adventures. When I was young, wasn't it an adventure that led me to learn the Dugu Nine Swords?!"

"But you need to be careful. After all, that set of magical skills is the foundation of his Qingcheng Sect. It has been circulated in the martial arts world for hundreds of years. Many people know it. Nowadays, although the Qingcheng Sect has suffered a disaster, there are still many troubles related to it. If you can avoid having anything to do with Qingcheng Mountain, try your best not to get involved."

"You are gifted and have amazing comprehension. It shouldn't be difficult for you to find a way to conceal your last move."

Xu Xingchen smiled bitterly: "Uncle Feng, you think too highly of me. I have thought about covering it up, but that magical skill has its own unique features. I can't think of a solution for the time being."

Feng Qingyang snorted coldly: "Since you can't think of a solution, try not to use it in front of others!"

Xu Xingchen said helplessly: "Yes, disciple will use it carefully!"

Feng Qingyang turned his head and looked at the mess around him, and said calmly: "It's up to you to clean up here. I originally wanted to fight with you a few more times, but now I realize that if I fight with you once, I will have to live a few days less. This kind of losing business cannot be done!"

After saying that, he turned around and left without saying hello to Xu Xingchen.

After descending the mountain, Feng Qingyang looked back at the mountainside, shook his head and sighed, "With your speed of improvement, Chong'er may never be able to catch up with you in his lifetime."

"If I were 20 or 30 years younger, I might still be interested in fighting with you a few more times, but now, I don't have the energy for it."

"The best sword in Huashan."

"very nice!"

"awesome!"

“It’s wonderful”

"Hey, it won't be long before the best swordsman in Huashan will become the best swordsman in the world."

Not to mention the series of sighs Feng Qingyang left at the foot of the mountain.

Halfway up the mountain, Xu Xingchen looked at the large area of forest that had been razed to the ground. He counted the fallen trees, both broken and intact, and found that there were as many as twenty-three in total.

Feeling the Yin-Yang Qi rapidly recovering in his body, he looked up at the bright moon in the sky and sighed with satisfaction: "I had a great time killing trees tonight. The trees on this ground should be enough for me to burn for a year!"

He returned to the cave and fell asleep.

I woke up the next day, yawned comfortably, walked out of the cave, and began to clean up the mess of last night.

All the trees lying in disarray on the ground were put in order and piled up in piles.

Then he made a broom and swept all the weeds, debris, fallen leaves and branches on the ground to the side.

The open space in the forest has thus expanded three times. If you look here from a high place, the bare ground and the lack of a large area of green are very conspicuous.

In the afternoon, Linghu Chong came up the mountainside carrying a food box. He looked across the much wider open space in the forest and asked in astonishment, "Is this the battlefield where you competed with Master Feng last night?"

Xu Xingchen picked and chose, speaking truthfully and falsely, and said, "Most of those trees were cut down by Master Feng. Maybe he used more force to let me see the true power of Dugu Jiujian."

Linghu Chong asked suspiciously, "Is that true?"

Xu Xingchen nodded calmly: "Indeed!"

Linghu Chong stared at his junior fellow apprentice for a long while, then decisively changed the subject: "Forget it, let's not talk about these things anymore. Come on, come on, look at what delicious food I brought you today."

What else is there to eat?

There were still four things in the lunch box: vegetables, tofu, steamed buns, and rice porridge, but they tasted really good.

After finishing his meal, Linghu Chong went down the mountain carrying his lunch box.

A few days later, Sixth Senior Brother Lu Dayou came up the mountain. When he mentioned the First Senior Brother Linghu Chong, he scratched the back of his head, his face full of confusion.

"I don't know why, but Senior Brother has been practicing very hard these days."

Xu Xingchen took a bite of the steamed bun, drank a mouthful of rice porridge, and said perfunctorily: "Maybe it's because I was stimulated by what happened on the day of the Sword Sect's mountain visit."

Lu Da nodded: "I think so too. It seems that we brothers have to work harder and can't fall too far behind you two!"

Xu Xingchen hummed in agreement.

"Oh, right!" Lu Dayou asked curiously, "Why did the open space outside the cave suddenly become so big? Why did you cut down so many trees?"

Xu Xingchen swallowed the last bite of steamed bun and said, "I suddenly felt like basking in the sun these two days, so I expanded the open space at the entrance of the cave!" "Is that true?" Lu Dayou grabbed the back of his head again, feeling that this reason was somewhat ridiculous.

In the following days, he used this excuse to perfunctorily answer questions from several senior brothers who did not understand the situation.

Since it concerns Uncle Master Feng, Linghu Chong will not say much.

After the battle with Feng Qingyang, Xu Xingchen truly witnessed how invincible the "Nine Swords of Dugu" was when it was at its peak.

It is true that he can break all kinds of martial arts and weapons in the world, and he is extremely powerful.

Even though this kind of swordsmanship is not as swift, mysterious and sinister as the Exorcist Sword Technique, facing it is still equally despairing!
As for the sword that fell from the sky at the end, it combined the strongest point and the weakest point into one sword attack.
Xu Xingchen could actually feel that Uncle Master Feng was able to avoid that sword.

Avoid its edge, then strike its weak spot!

Uncle Feng Taishi definitely has a chance to defeat me!
But it was probably because he appreciated the elegance of his last sword that he chose to confront it head-on, causing both swords to perish together.
Afterwards, Master Feng left, leaving Xu Xingchen alone on the mountain to ponder how to improve and perfect his swordsmanship.
Thinking about how to deal with the ability of Dugu Jiujian to break all laws.
After thinking it over, he still couldn't figure it out. Instead, the more he thought about the battle, the more he felt the power of Dugu Nine Swords.

Fortunately, he has enough confidence that he will be able to surpass Uncle Master Feng and even the Dugu Nine Swords in the future!

If it were any other warrior, the more he thought about it, the more desperate he would feel!

Time flies
On Mount Huashan, the years are peaceful and quiet!
Every month, Xu Xingchen would go down the mountain to have a meal with his senior brothers and sisters, his master and his mistress, and then watch their sword fighting competitions.

Even in the mountains, in my spare time, I can listen to the brothers who come up the mountain to deliver meals and tell them about some things happening in the world.

The martial arts world is in chaos. All the major sects are in danger and form alliances to protect themselves.

The fight between Dongfang Bubai's followers and Ren Woxing's subordinates became more and more fierce, and both sides suffered heavy casualties!

I heard that Ren Woxing once brought a group of experts and wanted to use an insider to sneak into the Black Wood Cliff and kill Dongfang Bubai.

As a result, the truth was revealed and he was almost killed by Yang Lianting on the edge of a cliff.

Ren Woxing managed to escape, but several of his masters suffered heavy casualties.
As a spectator, Xu Xingchen felt for the first time that the character "Yang Lianting" seemed a little unusual!
The hot summer fades away and the autumn wind rises.
When the leaves turn yellow and fall, winter comes quietly
When the ice and snow melted and flowers bloomed in spring, a letter was sent to Huashan by the disciples of Hengshan Sect.
In the front mountain of Huashan, in the Zhengqi Hall.

Yue Buqun and his wife sat at the head of the table, and all the disciples stood in the center of the hall, including the eldest brother Linghu Chong and the youngest brother Xu Xingchen.

Yue Buqun glanced at his eight disciples and said in a deep voice: "Liu Zhengfeng from Hengshan Sect has sent an invitation to our Huashan Sect to attend his retirement ceremony next month."

The eyes of the disciples flickered with surprise and confusion.

People in the martial arts world spend their whole lives in the martial arts world, fighting and killing. The so-called life in the martial arts world and death in the martial arts world is nothing more than this!
Although there is a saying about retiring from the underworld, there are very few cases of it actually being heard of!

Yue Buqun paused for a while, waiting for his disciples to digest the news, before he continued, "I discussed with your master's wife and felt that no one from our Huashan Sect has been down the mountain for more than a year. This conference is a good opportunity."

"If I meet the leaders of other sword sects in Hengshan City, I can discuss with them how to deal with the Demon Sect!"

"So, all of you go back and pack your things. We will go down the mountain together tomorrow morning!"

The Huashan disciples were immediately excited and responded loudly: "Yes! Master!"

Returning to the courtyard where he lived, Xu Xingchen packed a few pieces of clothing and placed a new "Huashan style" fine steel sword on the table.

Then he sat on the chair and looked deeply at the sky outside the door.

The blue sky is pure and the white clouds are flawless!
Xu Xingchen's mood was somewhat complicated and difficult to understand.

"The Retirement Conference has finally begun!"

"Once you go, Zuo Lengchan's conspiracy will begin to be implemented. Calculations, ambushes, assassinations, and fire attacks on the other four factions will follow one after another."

"Those things are already confusing enough, and now with the fight between Ren Woxing and Dongfang Bubai, the situation in the martial arts world has become even more complicated."

"I have a feeling that this retirement meeting will never end as simply as in the world of the book. Many, many unforeseen things will definitely happen."

“Why is my heart trembling?”

"Are you looking forward to something?"

Early the next morning, everyone at Huashan gathered in front of the mountain gate. Wearing green shirts and holding long swords, they strode down the mountain!

First stop, Xi’an city!
As a result, the people of Huashan heard a piece of news that shocked and surprised them in this city.
"Have you heard that Xu Xingchen, the youngest disciple of Huashan Sect, has an incredible and profound inner strength at a young age?"

"Of course I have heard about it. We also heard that the reason why that boy has such a profound inner strength is because he has obtained the Star Absorbing Technique from the Demon Cult leader, Ren Woxing."

"hiss"
