27: Chapter 27 The Drunken Sword Immortal VS The Gun God of the Remnant Village

"Watch out!"

Before Blindy's voice had even faded, the bamboo staff in his hand had already thrust out.

This strike made no sound of wind, and it didn't even cause a ripple in the air.

But in Ye Xiu's perception, that ordinary bamboo staff vanished instantly.

In its place was a black dragon, baring its fangs and brandishing its claws, seeking to swallow the heavens and the earth!

A peerless divine spear, the spear strikes like a dragon!

This was the God of Spear.

Even if his eyes were gouged out, even if he had no spear in hand, as long as the spear was in his heart, everything could serve as his spear.

"So fast!"

Ye Xiu's scalp tingled, but before his thoughts could react, his body moved first.

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

Ye Xiu's figure suddenly swayed.

As if he were drunk and couldn't stand steady, his feet stumbled, and his body leaned weirdly to the left at a forty-five-degree angle.

This "stumble" happened to avoid Blindy's sure-hit strike.

"Chih!"

The bamboo staff grazed past Ye Xiu's ear; though it didn't touch him, that Spear Intent, refined to the extreme...

...actually made Ye Xiu's eardrums ache, and several strands of his hair snapped silently.

"Eh?"

Blindy's rolled-back white eyes moved slightly, and an expression of surprise appeared on his face.

"What a strange movement technique—seemingly drunk but not, completely without order, yet secretly aligning with the trajectory of the Heavenly Dao?"

"Senior, here I come too!"

Taking advantage of the momentum from those drunken steps, Ye Xiu's figure did a massive mid-air rotation, and the demon slaying sword in his hand slashed out in one smooth motion.

At the same time, the lingering alcoholic breath in his mouth surged forth once more.

"Wine God Curse · Sword Control Technique!"

"Rumble!"

The Gengjin Qi fused with the wine mist, transforming into a platinum river of Sword Qi.

Carrying the momentum of a thousand thunderclaps, it swept horizontally toward Blindy.

This move was the same finishing strike that had just killed the Lijiang Sect Leader!

Facing this strike capable of splitting mountains and shattering rocks, Blindy did not retreat but instead advanced.

The bamboo staff in his hand shook slightly, and with a flick of his wrist, he actually drew perfect circles in front of him.

"Break!"

The bamboo staff was like a needle, piercing with incomparable precision into the weakest node of that river of Sword Qi.

"Ding!"

A crisp sound rang out.

That sky-filling Gengjin Sword Qi was like a popped balloon, instantly collapsing and dispersing.

It turned into a fierce wind blowing in all directions, making Blindy's clothes flutter loudly, yet it couldn't harm him in the slightest.

"Good power, but too direct."

Blindy commented, his footsteps never stopping as the bamboo staff reached out again.

"The Way of the Spear lies in change, in the heart. Watch closely, this move is called... Divine Dragon Bows to Buddha!"

"Buzz!"

The bamboo staff was clearly a straight thrust, but in Ye Xiu's eyes, he seemed to see thousands of spear shadows.

Hard to distinguish between real and illusory, they blocked all his paths of retreat—front, back, left, and right.

This time, even the Drunken Immortal Moon-Gazing Steps felt the strain, and the System's alarms went off frantically.

Unavoidable!

"Since I can't dodge, then I won't!"

A flash of ruthlessness crossed Ye Xiu's eyes; as the alcohol surged, his heroic spirit reached the clouds.

He abruptly halted his figure, sheathed the demon slaying sword, and pressed both hands down violently as a brilliant golden light erupted from his Dantian.

"Golden Lotus in the Bitter Sea, a single stalk suppresses the ages!"

"Boom!!!"

In an instant, the entrance to Canlao Village seemed to turn into a vast golden ocean.

The sound of crashing waves echoed through the clouds, and a chaotic, misty green lotus rose from the ground behind Ye Xiu.

It had only three leaves, yet it seemed to hold up the blue sky.

As the green lotus swayed, a terrifying pressure that made the heavens and earth change color descended instantly!

This was the ultimate vision of the "Shrouding the Heavens Method," an absolute suppression of life levels.

"This is..."

The expressions of Butcher, Pharmacist, and the others who were watching all changed simultaneously.

They could feel that the moment this green lotus appeared, the surrounding laws of the Dao seemed to be warped, and an aura of ancient desolation rushed toward them.

The bamboo staff in Blindy's hand came to a dead stop three inches away from the center of Ye Xiu's brows.

It wasn't that he didn't want to strike, but that the strands of Chaos Qi hanging down from that green lotus were as heavy as a thousand jun.

Every strand was like a great mountain, firmly pinning down his bamboo staff!

"What a strong vision! What an overbearing Domain!"

Though Blindy couldn't see, his mind's eye (Divine Sense) saw more clearly than anyone.

In that golden Bitter Sea, the young man seemed to have transformed into an ancient God King, immune to all techniques.

"Rise!"

Blindy shouted loudly, his originally hunched body instantly straightening, as if his broken spine had been reconnected.

The blood qi within him burned frantically, and a tragic Spear Intent—as if it had fought its way out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood—soared into the sky.

Though he had no divine eyes, he still had his heart!

Upon the bamboo staff, a black dragon faintly roared; it was the culmination of his life's insights into the Way of the Spear.

"Open for me!"

Holding the staff with one hand, Blindy forcibly took a step forward within this Domain suppressed by the green lotus!

A burst of blinding black light erupted from the tip of the bamboo staff, clashing violently with the descending chaotic green Qi.

"Zzzzt!"

There was no explosion, only the ear-piercing sound of two extreme forces annihilating each other.

The ground beneath their feet cracked inch by inch like a spiderweb, instantly collapsing into a large pit several feet deep.

Ye Xiu's face turned slightly pale, and fine beads of sweat seeped from his forehead.

He was, after all, only in the Dao Palace Realm, while Blindy, though disabled, possessed the genuine Realm and experience of a Divine-Grade expert.

Maintaining the green lotus vision to counter the God of Spear's strike was incredibly draining for him.

Blindy wasn't faring well either; the hand holding the bamboo staff trembled slightly.

A tiny crack actually appeared on that bamboo staff that had followed him for many years.

The stalemate lasted for about three breaths.

"Hahaha! Delightful!"

Ye Xiu suddenly laughed aloud and voluntarily dispersed the green lotus vision behind him. His figure floated back several yards as he cupped his fists.

"Grandpa Blind's spear techniques are divine; this Junior is filled with admiration! If we keep fighting, this Junior's meager foundation will be completely drained."

The pressure vanished instantly.

Blindy also withdrew his bamboo staff, and that sharp Spear Intent vanished instantly as he turned back into an ordinary blind old man.

He stroked the crack on the bamboo staff; far from being angry, a gratified yet complex smile appeared on his face:

"Good lad..."

"To be able to force me to use seventy percent of my Spear Intent at such an age, and even damage my weapon."

"This method of planting a lotus in your body is truly overbearingly unreasonable."

At this point, Blindly "looked" in Ye Xiu's direction, a hint of recognition in his tone:

"With your skills protecting Muer, I can rest easy."

The Butcher on the side could no longer hold back; shouldering his meat cleaver, he walked over laughing loudly:

"Hahaha! Blindly, you suffered a setback, didn't you? I told you this kid is very weird! Come, come, come, Kid Ye, let's have a round too. Let me see just how tough that golden blood qi of yours is!"

Looking at this group of "elderly, weak, sick, and disabled" experts rubbing their hands in anticipation, Ye Xiu's mouth couldn't help but twitch. He quickly raised his wine gourd to cover his face:

"Wait! Seniors, I haven't sobered up yet. Let's do it another day, another day!"

Who could handle this kind of gauntlet?

And not far away, Granny Si was already looking over here.

Though she still looked old and frail...

...that gaze was entirely the kind of longing a young lover has when seeing her husband.

When dealing with the Lijiang Sect, Ye Xiu's strength hadn't been fully displayed.

But facing Grandpa Blind, he had released 100% of his combat power.

It was truly remarkable.

"Ye Lang, come back. The Village Chief has something to announce!"

The next moment, a beautiful voice reached Ye Xiu's ears.

It seemed the people of Canlao Village had finally accepted him!
