15: Chapter 15: The Drunken Sword Subdues Demons, the Azure Emperor Helps Me Enter the Dao Palace

"You reckless little brat!"

Seeing Ye Xiu holding the demon slaying sword in one hand and a treasure gourd in the other.

That shadow that had separated from Si Youyou was incredibly ferocious.

This guy was the former Heavenly Demon Sect Leader.

He was a figure with heaven-reaching strength in this world.

If he were still alive, or possessed a complete Physical Body.

Ye Xiu would be no match for him at all right now.

Unfortunately, he was now just a mark, nothing more than a wisp of a remnant soul.

And the Wine Sword Immortal's Cultivation Technique was precisely the sharpest weapon for suppressing these demons.

"Hmph!"

"Boastful talk! Watch me capture you and steep you in wine!"

Through the previous battle.

Ye Xiu had already gained a very clear understanding of the two treasures on his person.

The demon slaying sword was, of course, a Sharp Weapon primarily for killing.

But this wine gourd could not be ignored.

Especially when putting these prey inside to refine them.

The resulting fine wine could quench thirst and also serve as healing medicine.

It could even help him Breakthrough to a higher Realm at critical moments.

This Li Tianxing was truly a good thing!

"Stinky brat, hand over your life!"

Seemingly enraged by Ye Xiu's words.

The ghost shadow, rather than thinking of fleeing, instead charged at him with the fastest speed!

In this cramped room, the guy's Devilish Qi could almost fill the entire space.

"Careful! Don't let him touch you!"

At this moment, Si Youyou seemed to have had all her Origin Qi drained.

She could only lie on the bed like a weak woman.

Hoping that the Ye Xiu before her could achieve victory!

"Don't worry, watch me!"

"Sword Control Technique!"

"Go!"

Following Ye Xiu's low shout, he pressed his right middle and index fingers together and slashed fiercely at the Void Realm.

The demon slaying sword hovering beside him instantly turned into a stream of light, carrying a sharp whistling sound as it pierced through the air, heading straight for that ferocious Devilish Qi rushing towards him!

However, Li Tianxing was, after all, a former sect leader; even with only a remnant soul left, his combat instincts were still terrifying.

Facing this sword strike capable of cutting metal and breaking jade, that black shadow actually twisted strangely in mid-air.

It forcefully split into two strands, avoiding the direct edge of the sword.

Then it quickly merged again, turning into a huge black ghost claw, clawing viciously at Ye Xiu's throat!

"Die!"

Li Tianxing's roar made the window lattice tremble.

If this ghost claw were to land, Ye Xiu's neck would be snapped instantly.

The distance was too close! Not to mention that the room was already small, the distance between the two was less than three feet.

At this distance, with the long sword outside, his Physical Body was hard to defend, and there was simply no time to turn back for defense!

Even Si Youyou on the bed was so scared that she covered her mouth, her eyes filled with despair.

But just at the moment the ghost claw touched Ye Xiu's collar.

Whoosh.

Ye Xiu's body suddenly felt as if it had lost its bones, inexplicably "sliding" to the left.

The movement didn't look like dodging, nor did it look like a light movement technique; it looked more like a drunk person losing their footing and slipping.

[Passive Skill Triggered: Drunken Immortal Moon-Gazing Steps!]

[Evasion Rate Check: 100%!]

"Swish!"

Li Tianxing's ghost claw brushed past Ye Xiu's right ear, even cutting off a few strands of hair, but didn't even scratch a bit of skin.

"Hmm?"

A trace of astonishment appeared on Li Tianxing's blurred ghost face. A coincidence? It must be a coincidence!

He didn't believe it; the Devilish Qi surged again, turning into claw shadows that filled the sky, sealing off all of Ye Xiu's retreat paths, front, back, left, and right.

"Let's see where you can hide now!"

However, the scene that followed made this Demon Sect leader completely doubt his ghostly existence.

Facing this airtight offensive, Ye Xiu didn't even lift an eyelid.

His left hand was still holding the wine gourd, while his right hand's sword fingers changed continuously, controlling the Flying Sword to circle and pursue behind him.

And his feet seemed to be stepping on cotton, or perhaps walking in moonlight.

Leaning a step to the east, swaying a bit to the west.

Leaning forward and backward, appearing drunk yet not drunk.

Whenever that deadly Devilish Qi was about to hit him, his body would "automatically" perform the most incredible evasive maneuvers.

Sometimes it was a backbend that extremely defied human mechanics, other times it was a side-slide that felt like teleportation.

He wove through the sky-filling claw shadows.

Like a fallen leaf drifting in a storm, although it looked precarious, it never got wet by a single drop of rain!

The body follows the sword, the steps tread like meteors.

This was the core movement Profound Truth of the "Wine Sword Immortal" Legacy—Drunken Immortal Moon-Gazing!

No need to think, no need to predict; every cell in his body, under the stimulation of alcohol (Spiritual Qi),

made the most instinctive reaction to danger.

"You... what movement technique is this?!"

Li Tianxing became more and more alarmed as he fought, and more and more frustrated.

He felt like he was trying to catch a slippery loach; it was clearly right in front of him, but he couldn't catch it no matter what.

And what made him even more terrified was Ye Xiu's sword.

The demon slaying sword did not lose its rhythm because of Ye Xiu's evasion.

On the contrary, because of Ye Xiu's strange positioning, the sword's attack angles became even more tricky and vicious!

"Rip!"

Ye Xiu performed a "drunken fall," his body sliding along the ground, just in time to avoid Li Tianxing's sweep.

At the same time, he flicked his sword fingers upward.

The demon slaying sword flew close to the ground, tracing a perfect arc, and slashed fiercely at the "lower base" of Li Tianxing's Devilish Qi!

"Ah—!!!"

Li Tianxing let out a scream, and a large chunk of that dense Devilish Qi was instantly sliced away.

The Azure Emperor's lightning power attached to the demon slaying sword crazily eroded his soul body along the wound, scorching him until black smoke rose continuously.

In fact, this former sect leader probably hadn't noticed.

With one waning and the other waxing, half of his Devilish Qi had actually been eliminated.

Seeing that the situation was about right.

Ye Xiu slowly took out his wine gourd.

Muttering to himself with an excited expression.

"I wonder what kind of fine wine your demon soul can brew?"

"Ah, no, Youyou, save me!"

Only then did Li Tianxing realize something was wrong.

So he used his last bit of strength, wanting to shrink his last mark back into Si Youyou's body.

It was too late!

Because Ye Xiu's treasure gourd had already been opened.

A burst of Spiritual Qi with the scent of wine sprayed out.

Like slurping noodles, it twisted into a spiral vortex in the air.

Starting to pull at this guy's final remnant soul!

"Collect!"

"Get into the bowl!"

There was no suspense left.

He watched as that black shadow was quickly pulled in by the wine gourd.

At the same time, the green lotus in Ye Xiu's Wheel Sea began to glow, and formed a pattern similar to a Martial Soul behind his body.

"Hum!"

[Ding, congratulations to the host for successfully completing the demon-subduing mission, System rewards are being distributed]

[Ding, congratulations on successfully stepping into the Dao Palace Realm. Because you are following the Azure Emperor Cultivation Technique System, there will be some special changes]

The notification sound of the System prompt rang out.

That clear lotus bloomed behind Ye Xiu's body.

The aura where gold and cyan intersected slowly lifted him, its master, up.

Looking from afar, this scene looked exactly like the so-called Immortal Ascension...

Even Si Youyou, who was panting on the side, widened her eyes at this moment.

This kind of Cultivation Technique was something she had seen for the first time in her life!

"Little nemesis... who exactly are you?"
