The First Sword of the Universe

Chapter 90 Feng Buping: Your Qi Sect is not as good as our Sword Sect

In the restaurant, there was a bustling crowd of people coming and going!

On the second floor, several tables of gangsters were gathered and were caught in a heated debate.

"That's impossible. Alliance Leader Zuo has been famous for many years. How could he be surpassed by a younger disciple?"

"Yes, it's impossible. The Songshan Sect is one of the most famous sects in the world. Its strength is comparable to that of the Shaolin Temple and the Wudang Sect. Its leader, Zuo Lengchan, is even known as a top master, not inferior to Master Fangzheng of the Shaolin Temple and Taoist Master Chongxu of the Wudang Sect."

"Hey, what's impossible about this? As the saying goes, heroes emerge from youth, and the waves behind push the waves ahead."

"Come to think of it, didn't you say that the Huashan Sect disciple had learned the magic skill of the Star Absorbing Art? If he could absorb the inner strength of a few more martial arts masters, wouldn't his cultivation level be improved? If he himself has an outstanding talent in swordsmanship, how could he not be able to defeat Zuo Lengchan?"

“But this is too unbelievable.”

"Haha, he is a Huashan Sect disciple, but he can learn the magical skills of the Sun Moon Sect leader. Isn't this unbelievable?"

Xu Xingchen drank the tea in the cup, listened to everyone's discussions, and had a thoughtful look in his eyes.

"The person who made me famous and called me 'the best swordsman in the world' should be Ren Yingying."

"Why did she do this? What's her purpose?"

"Although I also like the title of 'The World's No. 1 Swordsman', isn't it a bit too high-profile?"

Thinking of this, Xu Xingchen couldn't help but laugh, muttering to himself: "Well! Well! When will you become the best in the world? Haha! Today, today!"

Clear all the food on the table.

Xu Xingchen returned to the inn to rest and sleep.

The next morning, he continued on his journey.

The journey was unexpectedly peaceful, and Xu Xingchen soon figured it out. Although his fame was promoted by both forces and was well-known throughout the world, very few people were familiar with his appearance.

Not acting with the Huashan group actually greatly reduced the risk of him being recognized!
This made Xu Xingchen a little bit amused. He had originally thought that he would travel three thousand miles alone, chill the nineteen states with a sword, test his sword and travel the world, becoming famous between heaven and earth.
Now, everything has become false!

A few days later, a certain force finally reacted and drew Xu Xingchen's appearance on paper and spread it widely.

This time, Xu Xingchen was easily recognized.

When many people in the martial arts world saw him for the first time, their eyes lit up, as if they saw the secret book of divine power flirting with them and waving at them.
Someone wanted to plot against him, but was killed by Xu Xingchen with a clean sword.
Some people wanted to compete with Xu Xingchen by relying on their status as "fellow martial artist", but were made to doubt their lives by being chopped down by Xu Xingchen's sword. Unless his martial arts skills are truly unique, they would be able to fight with him for a few more moves.

When those so-called "fellow martial artists" saw Xu Xingchen showing mercy, they became braver and took turns to challenge him.

Seeing this, Xu Xingchen was not annoyed. He smiled gracefully, behaved generously, and accepted all their challenges.

In Xu Xingchen's opinion, this was not a problem at all. It was clearly a step to help him become the "number one swordsman in the world".
Every challenger is a step forward!
He was so happy that he didn't have time to feel troubled.

So, he went forward, accepting challenges along the way, one sword at a time, one sword at a time. Occasionally, when he met some people with unique martial arts skills, he would fight with them for a few more moves.
The gap in strength between the two sides was too great, and the challengers often only felt a flash of sword light, and the weapons in their hands fell to the ground, without even the slightest room for struggle or resistance. Many so-called "big shots" who thought they were quite powerful and well-known in the martial arts world almost lost their minds!
As a result, later on, those underworld figures who valued their reputations no longer dared to act rashly.

Only those low-level martial artists and fledgling young knights are happy to do this.

When the fight got to the end, Xu Xingchen was too lazy to draw his sword. He just swung the scabbard and knocked them to the ground.

Of course, you will usually encounter some shameless scoundrels who will keep pestering you, and after the first challenge, they will even think about challenging you a second time, just to make a bet with others, or to become famous.

Xu Xingchen will not tolerate these people. He has an amazing memory and remembers everyone he has challenged. If there is a second time challenger among them, he will be ruthless and hit several acupuncture points on their bodies that can cause great pain, making those people twitch in pain on the ground for a long time, wailing for a long time, and then unable to get out of bed for several days and nights!
As the saying goes, you can escape the death penalty, but you can’t escape the living punishment. This is the truth!

Of course, where there are those who challenge head-on, there are those who plot against you.

Although he had ruthlessly killed several people before, most of those things happened in remote corners, dark rooms, or deserted mountain paths and roads with few people. Not many people knew about it.

Faced with these conspirators, the perceptive Xu Xingchen noticed and avoided them one by one, and then acted ruthlessly, beheading them with a single sword.

The more you do this kind of thing, the more people will see it.

Therefore, those who thought that Xu Xingchen, a Huashan disciple, had been taught by the Gentleman Sword Yue Buqun and had a brain like an elm knot, were frightened and dared not talk nonsense anymore. He accepted the challenge head-on and killed the person who plotted against him!

It shows both a kind and benevolent side and a ruthless and violent approach.
Xu Xingchen's personality was established step by step in the hearts of the martial artists.

Because of his superb swordsmanship, those who competed with him were often defeated with just one sword. In addition, with the instigation of some people with ulterior motives, the title of "the best swordsman in the world" seemed to be becoming a reality.

As for the rumor that Xu Xingchen had learned the Star Absorbing Technique, even if those people shouted at the top of their lungs, it gradually fell apart in the face of his many brilliant achievements along the way.
The closer they got to Hengshan City, the more famous Xu Xingchen became, and the fewer people challenged him.

He is gradually building up his own prestige in the underworld!

Just at this time, new news came out in the arena.
The teams sent by the three major sword sects, Huashan, Hengshan and Taishan, to attend the "retirement" conference of Liu Zhengfeng of the Hengshan sect were ambushed one after another and suffered heavy losses.

It is said that when the ambushers left, they accidentally left some things behind. After being identified by the people from the three major sword sects, they were all related to the Songshan Sect.
Once this news came out, it added even more chaos and disorder to the already turbulent situation in the martial arts world!
Hearing this news, Xu Xingchen felt somewhat worried. Although everyone in the Huashan Sect had made great progress in martial arts, the strength of the Songshan Sect should not be underestimated.

When he was less than a hundred miles away from Hengshan City, he met three people in the forest.
The mountains and forests are lush and green, and the grass is growing and the birds are singing!
Feng Buping, Cheng Buyou and Cong Buqi blocked Xu Xingchen's way.

Xu Xingchen looked at the three people who suddenly appeared from the woods nearby in surprise, and said with a bow, "Disciple Xu Xingchen, greetings to the three uncles!"

Feng Buping's yellow face was filled with hostility, and he said coldly: "Xu Xingchen, you are very famous in the martial arts world now!"

Xu Xingchen smiled and said modestly: "It's all thanks to the kindness of my fellow martial artists!"

Cong Buqi snorted coldly and mocked, "Boy, do you think your swordsmanship is worthy of the title of 'the best swordsman in the world'?"

Xu Xingchen glanced at the silent Cheng Buyou and pretended to be surprised and said, "Hasn't Master Cheng already verified it?!"

Cheng Buyu actually had an unshakable indifferent expression, as if he was not the one who pretended to be dead to avoid embarrassment in front of Huashan Zhengqi Hall last time.

Such a shameless behavior made Xu Xingchen look at the other person in surprise.

Feng Buping said, "Don't talk about these nonsense. Xu Xingchen, do you know why we are blocking your way?"

Xu Xingchen turned his gaze to Feng Buping, tilted his head to think for a moment, and said tentatively: "The three uncles are shy, so you want me to pass on a message to my master on your behalf, saying that the three uncles want to return to Huashan Sect and become disciples of Huashan Sect?!"

Feng Buping sneered twice and said, "Boy, with your wisdom, don't act crazy and stupid in front of us. I don't believe you can't see that we are here to cause trouble for you!"

Xu Xingchen said seriously: "I am not pretending to be crazy or stupid. I really want the three uncles to return to Huashan and work with my master and mistress to carry forward the Huashan Sect!"

This time, Cheng Buyou finally spoke up and said coldly: "What nonsense are you talking about? If you want us brothers to return to Huashan, your master Yue Buqun must give up the position of the head of the sect and admit that your Qi Sect is indeed inferior to our Sword Sect. The Sword Sect is the orthodox sect of Huashan!"

Xu Xingchen shook his head gently: "Uncle Cheng, please don't say such unrealistic words. In my opinion, whether it is Qi Sect or Sword Sect, they are both the cultivation paths of our Huashan Sect and should not be differentiated."

"Your previous generation forcibly distinguished the two, which led to the tragedy of the conflict between Qi and sword. Didn't it alert the three uncles?"

Cong Buqi's face turned pale and he shouted angrily, "Shut up, kid. It's not your turn to judge the affairs of our previous generation!"

Feng Buping also said with an unhappy expression: "The more you argue on the path of cultivation, the clearer it becomes."

"The path of Qi Sect, if you want to achieve something, it all depends on talent, and there are very few who can succeed. It is nothing like our path of Sword Sect, where ordinary people can practice. Even if there are very few people who can practice to a high level, their number is still much greater than that of Qi Sect masters."

"If we continue to follow the Qi Sect's path, the number of people who can achieve something in each generation of Huashan Sect will be as few as one or two, and as many as three or five. The number is pitifully small. If this continues, our Huashan Sect will inevitably become weaker and weaker, and gradually disappear in the world."

"Only the path of our Sword Sect can train a large number of disciples in a short period of time and revive the prestige of Huashan."

"Your master's path, your Qi Zong's path, is wrong!"

"Ugh." Xu Xingchen felt his scalp itchy and had the urge to scratch the back of his head. He asked in confusion, "Uncle Feng, if we combine the paths of Qi Sect and Sword Sect, just like how people walk, using two legs, wouldn't it be more stable and powerful?!"

Cong Buqi snorted coldly: "If you don't distinguish between the primary and the secondary, and don't distinguish between the orthodox and the legitimate, how can you make the Huashan Sect run in an orderly manner?"
