6: Chapter 6 The Drunken Swordsman VS The Butcher of the Remnant Village

"Senior, then I will not stand on ceremony!"

"No need to stand on ceremony, no need at all. Your sword, and your wine gourd can all be used."

It had to be admitted, this former Heavenly Saber, now the Canlao Village Butcher, possessed strength that was truly first-class.

He only needed to size Ye Xiu up slightly to already know his attack style.

The Wine Sword Immortal not only had a sword, but also a wine gourd.

However, as for how to specifically use and combine them, Ye Xiu himself had no idea.

Fortunately, he possessed the Legacy of the Azure Emperor Scripture.

This thing was the strongest defensive deity in the Shrouding the Heavens Universe.

"Hum!"

The next moment, the demon slaying sword was unsheathed once more.

Although it wasn't as god-like and miraculous as when the village chief used it just now, it was capable of merging man and sword.

Faintly, a wisp of wine fragrance drifted through the air.

"Oh, a bit interesting!"

"You have a bit of the Daoist Seven Star Steps style, let me see!"

Seeing the young man opposite him become serious, the Butcher also put away his carefree demeanor.

He took out a pig-killing knife in his left hand and slowly lowered his body.

He assumed a posture similar to a ferocious tiger descending the mountain; this was clearly an offensive stance!

"Hoo!"

"Take this, kid!"

"Hoo!"

Before the sound of the wind arrived, the Saber Intent arrived first.

That pitch-black, greasy pig-killing knife carried a tragic, bloody wind.

It instantly cut through the air, heading straight for Ye Xiu's right shoulder blade.

This strike was unavoidable!

It was as if no matter where Ye Xiu dodged, he would actively run into the blade's edge.

This was the Realm of the Heavenly Saber—where "skill" approaches the "Dao"!

"What a fast blade!"

Ye Xiu's pupils shrank violently.

Although he had the System's blessing, his body's instinctive reaction was still a beat slow.

Seeing the blade edge about to strike his body.

[Ding! Fatal attack detected!]

[Passive skill triggered: Drunken Immortal Moon-Gazing Steps!]

Ye Xiu's originally tense body suddenly turned into a pile of mush, inexplicably tilting to the left.

The movement was extremely ugly, just like a drunkard who had had too much to drink tripping over his own feet, about to fall flat on his face.

However, it was precisely this chaotic and somewhat comical tilt.

"Swish!"

The Butcher's sure-hit strike actually grazed past Ye Xiu's down jacket!

It only cut off a wisp of hair, not even scratching his skin!

"Hmm?"

A flash of surprise crossed the Butcher's bell-like eyes.

His "Cook Ding Dismembers the Ox" strike was meant to follow the muscle structure; that twist the kid just did completely violated human biomechanics; how did he do it?

"It's not over yet!"

The Butcher shouted, his wrist flipping.

The downward chopping momentum instantly changed into a horizontal sweep!

The back of the blade was like a whip, fiercely lashing towards Ye Xiu's waist.

Since he couldn't cut him, he would whip him away!

This time, Ye Xiu was in a "falling" posture in mid-air, his old force spent, his new force not yet generated, and he couldn't dodge at all!

"Can't dodge... then I'll take it head-on!"

A ruthless look flashed in Ye Xiu's eyes. Since you are using a physical attack, let me let you taste the defense cheat of the Xuanhuan world!

"Azure Emperor Longevity, all methods cannot invade!"

Hum—!!!

At Ye Xiu's Dantian, that golden Bitter Sea suddenly boiled.

A Golden Lotus in the Bitter Sea!

Although the phenomenon was not fully unfolded, a layer of faint azure-gold light film instantly appeared on Ye Xiu's body surface.

The phantom of the chaotic azure lotus flashed and disappeared behind him, as if an ancient God King was blocking this strike for him.

"Clang!"

A loud sound like a great bell rang out, shaking the surrounding willow leaves until they rustled down.

The Butcher's blade back slammed fiercely onto Ye Xiu's waist.

But he felt as if he hadn't struck a person, but rather a piece of ten-thousand-year mysterious iron, or a vast, boundless ocean!

A huge counter-shock force came, making the Butcher's web between his thumb and index finger slightly numb.

And Ye Xiu, although pushed back more than ten meters by this huge force, his feet plowing two deep trenches in the ground, he was not injured!

Although that layer of azure-gold light film shattered, it perfectly neutralized the Butcher's force that was enough to split mountains and crack rocks.

"What hard Qi Gong!"

The Butcher withdrew his blade and stood, his face revealing an excited flush.

"Your Physical Body, kid, is even harder than that brat Muer's 'Tyrant Body'! What kind of Cultivation Technique is this?"

"Hehe, just some low-level, insignificant skills, Senior praises me too much!"

Ye Xiu rubbed his slightly sore waist, straightened up while grimacing, and raised the wine gourd to take a gulp.

Immediately, a warmth flowed through his whole body. Just like the red potion that restores Qi and blood in games!

"Come again!"

Ye Xiu's Battle Intent was stirred up.

He held the gourd in his left hand and the sword in his right.

Stepping with messy footwork, he actually took the initiative to launch a counterattack!

"Sword Control Technique: Ride the Wind!"

Ye Xiu suddenly spat out a mist of wine.

The wine mist did not dissipate in the air, but was instantly absorbed by the demon slaying sword in his hand.

"Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle!"

On the sword body, lightning suddenly appeared!

This was the combination of the "Wine God Curse" and the "Sword Control Technique"—Thunder Spirit Drunken Sword!

"Go!"

Ye Xiu thrust his sword out.

This sword strike was crooked, wavering, like a drunkard waving a dry branch.

But in the Butcher's eyes, this strike sealed off all his retreat paths.

As the sword tip trembled, it turned into sixteen afterimages, each pointing towards his vital points!

"Hahahaha! Good! Well done!"

The Butcher laughed loudly, his pig-killing knife no longer held back, instantly turning into a black storm of blade light.

"Ding ding ding ding ding ding!"

A series of dense clashing sounds of metal resonated at the village entrance.

The figures of the two were so fast that Qin Mu on the side couldn't see them clearly at all, only able to see two balls of light, one azure and one black, colliding crazily.

Ye Xiu found himself fighting more and more smoothly.

The Wine Sword Immortal's "drunkenness" made him unpredictable; the Azure Emperor Scripture's "life" gave him infinite endurance and fault tolerance.

Even if occasionally grazed by the Butcher's Saber Qi, a shake of the azure lotus within his body would instantly heal the wound.

After thirty moves.

"Bang!"

The two clashed one last time, each retreating.

The Butcher stood in place, looking at a rice-grain-sized notch chipped out of his pig-killing knife.

Then he looked at the panting but unharmed Ye Xiu.

"Stop fighting, stop fighting!"

The Butcher stuck his knife into his waistband, cursing and swearing.

"You brat are a freak! Slippery as a loach, and your skin is as thick as a city wall; fighting you is no fun!"

Although he was cursing, the appreciation in the Butcher's eyes could not be hidden.

He walked up and heavily patted Ye Xiu on the shoulder:

"However, you are qualified to eat meat in Canlao Village! Tonight, I will cook personally and make you braised beef!"

Qin Mu on the side was already stunned.

He knew how fierce Butcher Grandfather was; when he trained him, it was truly one slash per kid.

This Brother Ye, could actually trade blows back and forth with Butcher Grandfather?

But as soon as the cow was mentioned, this young man immediately reacted.

He looked embarrassed, facing Butcher Grandfather.

"Butcher Grandfather, our village doesn't have any cows left; that cow turned into a woman and was taken in by Brother Ye..."
