Chapter 301 A Battle to Break Through Realms
Xiao Se jumped off his horse and reached for the Wuji staff at his waist.
When his meridians were injured and he forcefully exerted himself into the Unfettered Heavenly Realm, he used this staff in a confrontation with two Hidden River Heads of Houses, eventually killing the Head of Xie House, Xie Qidao. Although the two Hidden River Heads of Houses were already injured at the time, this was still a shocking accomplishment.
"I heard that you killed Xie Qidao," Yan Zhantian said ambiguously. "All these years, even though you could no longer use your internal strength, it looks like you haven’t stopped training your staff techniques."
"Yes. I train my staff every day. Every single day, I’ve waited for this day." Xiao Se patted the horse\'s rump and gestured at it to leave the battlefield.
"This day?" Yan Zhantian repeated with interest.
"The day of my rematch with you," Xiao Se said resolutely.
Yan Zhantian shook his head and sneered, "You can cut out the false bravado. Your meridians have only recently been restored. In terms of your realm, you’re at most in the Unrestrained Earthly Realm. Compared to back when we fought outside Heavenly Revelations City, you’re much weaker now. What are you going to fight me with?"
"But suddenly, I don’t feel like fighting you anymore." Xiao Se lowered his staff. "I have a question to ask you."
Yan Zhantian frowned and pressed his hand on the hilt of his sword.
Xiao Se disregarded his reaction and continued, "I always thought you were the one who destroyed my meridians, but someone told me. The internal energy that lingered in my body was completely different from your internal energy. Besides you, who else came that day?"
Yan Zhantian froze for a moment, his eyes becoming cold. "You seem to have made a mistake."
"Mistake?" Xiao Se bent his knees slightly and gripped his staff tighter.
"I never answer other people\'s questions. If others want to ask me something, they have to first ask my sword." Yan Zhantian drew his sword abruptly.
The first move, Sword Drawn with Fury.
Xiao Se took a flying leap and swung his long staff.
A suit of blue robes flew past and the long staff exploded in the air like flowers blooming.
His staff lifted, and there was one staff flower, two staff flowers, three staff flowers!
His staff raised up, it flashed into ten, then a hundred flowers.
His staff swung, and suddenly it became thousands and tens of thousands of flowers!
This was the First Wuji Staff!
The tip of the staff emitted a screeching sound, as if an evil power that was suppressed inside was about to break free of the staff.
Yan Zhantian’s sword move met Xiao Se’s staff and the two brushed past each other.
Yan Zhantian frowned. "The qi that was in you just then. What is that?"
Xiao Se smirked bitterly and spat out a mouthful of blood. He had just exhausted the last of the qi that Mo Yi left in his body. It was the qi of a martial expert in a realm above the Spirit Wandering Profound Realm. Though it was a mere wisp, it was extraordinary and even Yan Zhantian could feel the immense power behind this qi. But after this move, Xiao Se truly had to rely on himself now. He turned around, smirked slightly, and looked at Yan Zhantian. "Wouldn’t you like to know?"
Yan Zhantian narrowed his eyes and the strength he poured into gripping his sword increased further.
Sword name, Army Destroyer. The most tyrannical sword among the top ten famous swords.
Xiao Se was not afraid at all. He imitated Yan Zhantian\'s tone and said, "If you want to ask me something, you have to first ask my staff!"
————————
A roadside tea shop.
Almost the entire tea shop had been destroyed with tables and chairs scattered all over the floor. Only the table where Tang Lian was sitting could be considered intact.
Tang Lian sat there, his entire body emitting steam.
The assassin from Su House, Su Zhan, code-named Greedy Wolf, stood outside the tea shop. The patter of rain washed off the blood stains on his body and the sword he was holding in his hand was already broken.
"Snow Moon City’s da-shixiong sure lives up to his name." Su Zhan bowed his head mildly.
Tang Lian looked at the seven untouched cups of wine on the table without raising his head. "In that case, why don’t you retreat?"
Su Zhan shook his head. "I\'m afraid we’re going to do something shameful next, in order to save us some trouble."
"If you can’t win, attack together. I would have thought an organisation like Hidden River would be different." Tang Lian raised the first cup, Tianshu, of the Seven Cups of Starry Night Wine on the table, and tipped his head back to drink it all at once. “That truly makes one feel regret."
Su Zhan took a step back hurriedly.
After drinking that cup of wine, the steam emitting from Tang Lian\'s body became denser, and the power in his body suddenly changed, becoming sharper and more overbearing.
Xiaobai drank 30 cups in a row, the noble spirit at his fingertips roared like springtime thunder. Back when Xie Xuan gifted the 《Wine Scripture》 to Tang Lian, he had recited this line. But, it wasn’t until Tang Lian returned from Penglai Island and returned to the Tang Clan to concentrate on studying the 《Wine Scripture》, that he understood the meaning of this sentence. The 《Wine Scripture》 recorded various methods to brew many types of wines, and the last volume was called Wine of Ascension. The wine that was recorded in it could be brewed into the world’s ultimate wine, and some special medicinal ingredients could be added to this wine. Drinking this sort of wine could instantly increase your internal strength, but the process was very painful. If you could get past it, your skills would increase greatly. But if you couldn’t get past it, you would die on the spot. That day in Snow Moon City, Baili Dongjun met Lei Wujie by chance and the Wind Flower Snow Moon that he invited him to drink was brewed based on the last volume of the 《Wine Scripture》. Also, when Baili Dongjun told Lei Wujie that if he drank another cup, he would definitely die because he could tell that Lei Wujie could not survive the subsequent backlash. This was what they called the Wine of Ascension. You could ascend to Heaven and become a man above all others, or you could ascend to Heaven and give up your life to the underworld.
Tang Lian smacked his lips and sighed. "I don\'t even know if I brewed it right or not. Although the formula is the same, it tastes really awful when compared to shifu’s Starry Night wine."
Tens of assassins simultaneously drew their weapons from their waists. Su Zhan looked at the aura on Tang Lian that was completely different from before and murmured, "Unfettered Heavenly Realm."
After Sikong Qianluo and Lei Wujie, Tang Lian also entered the Unfettered Heavenly Realm. The three heroes of the current generation of Snow Moon City were not the least inferior to the three legendary disciples of the previous generation!
Tang Lian closed his eyes and exhaled a long sigh.
The drops of rain that landed on his body instantly turned into mist.
This was the internal strength imparted by Wine Immortal Baili Dongjun, Encompass Heaven.
Tang Lian waved a gentle hand, and all the rain water condensed into his palm, transforming into a long stream.
The unique martial arts imparted by Wine Immortal Baili Dongjun, Burgeoning Ocean.
Tang Lian pushed a gentle fist out, and his one fist move sent Su Zhan flying back.
Also imparted by Wine Immortal Baili Dongjun, fist technique, Harness the Sea.
Maybe it was Heaven that arranged for it to be raining today. Baili Dongjun loved the sea and a lot of his martial arts were gained by an epiphany by the sea. On a rainy day like this, he could snatch a decisive opportunity.
Or perhaps it was all a joke by Heaven, giving Tang Lian the illusion that he could win.
A total of twenty-one Hidden River killers.
Just one of Su Zhan could almost fight to a draw with Tang Lian before he broke through the realm. Now, there were twenty-one of them attacking at the same time. Even if he had broken through to the next realm, even if a rainy day could afford him a decisive opportunity, how could he win? How could he possibly do it?
Tang Lian was forced to retreat by twenty-one swords. He laughed, raised Tianxuan from the table and once again, drank it all in one go!
"Come on! Again!"
