On the courtyard wall, Chu Xiang calmed down for a long time before saying, "Unexpectedly, Young Master Xiao is actually a bladesman as well. This is truly surprising."
Xiao Chen said softly, "I haven't used it for a long time. Fortunately, I'm not rusty. Miss Chu Xiang's swordsmanship should be pretty good. Would it be possible for you to give me some pointers? "
"My pleasure."
I haven't used a saber in a long time, and I've just entered hell.
His improvement would be much faster than if he were to cultivate on his own.
It was great that Chu Xiang could help him.
As for Chu Xiang, after seeing Xiao Chen's saber skills, she was already tempted.
Even if the other party did not mention it, she would have taken the initiative to bring it up. It would also be of great help to her.
Xiu!
With that, a sword appeared in Chu Xiang's hand, and she swung it at Xiao Chen.
As the long sword was unsheathed, rays of light shone out. Immediately, the courtyard was filled with vitality.
Hundreds of flowers suddenly appeared between the ground and the ground. The moment the flowers bloomed …
Chu Xiang's sword also arrived in front of Xiao Chen. Among the hundreds of flowers, her sword was the king of the flowers.
Under the scorching sun, he bloomed proudly.
What a powerful life force!
Xiao Chen felt shocked in his heart. To think that Chu Xiang cultivated the Life Dao. This reminded him of the Merfolk Yan Cangming, who cultivated the Death Dao.
Compared to the Dao of Death, the Dao of Life was much harder to cultivate.
However, be it the Life Dao or the Death Dao, they were both special Great Daos that stood above the Wind Dao, Fire Dao, Lightning Dao and the other elemental Daos.
Xiao Chen did not dare to underestimate him. He immediately drew his Tyrant Saber.
Infusing the Thunder Great Dao into the Great Dao, Xiao Chen swung his saber to block this unstoppable, exuberant lifeforce.
When the saber and sword clashed, Chu Xiang was shocked to discover that the two of them were actually evenly matched.
She had advanced to Sovereign Personage two years ago. Without a doubt, her cultivation was much denser than Xiao Chen's. However, she could not suppress Xiao Chen, who had just advanced to Sovereign Personage.
Without any time to think, Zhang Xuan flicked his wrist, and the Hundred Flowers Fluttering Petals swiftly changed his move.
Under the scorching sun, one of them used a saber while the other used a sword, exchanging blows with each other.
Neither of them wanted to give in to the other, and neither of them wanted to admit defeat.
Gradually, the two of them began to unleash the strength they had been suppressing.
They were evenly matched, and Chu Xiang had the upper hand.
After all, he came from the Heavenly Fragrance Holy Land and advanced to Sovereign Personage two years earlier than Xiao Chen. Furthermore, this was just a spar. Xiao Chen had many trump cards that he could not use.
Such an outcome was reasonable.
Two days passed in the blink of an eye.
Xiao Chen exchanged moves with Chu Xiang during the day and stabilized his cultivation at night. He did not notice the passage of time.
Just like that, two days passed just like that before he could do his best.
However, even if he wanted to continue, he had to stop. The Wine King Contest was about to begin.
"No more fighting!"
Chu Xiang sheathed her sword, feeling some lingering fear. She still had a slight advantage on the first day.
On the second day, he couldn't hold on any longer.
Furthermore, this was before Xiao Chen executed that horrifying killing move. Chu Xiang had never seen a bladesman with such startling comprehension ability.
His comprehension was so strong that it made people feel a little scared.
Xiao Chen asked softly, "Miss Chu, do you want to participate in the Wine King Contest with me?"
Chu Xiang smiled faintly and replied, "I'm afraid not. I have to go with the Holy Daughter. Senior Sister is a specially invited appraiser. Hehe! You can secretly approach Senior Sister now and use your connections."
Xiao Chen knew that the other party was joking. He performed a cupped-fist salute and said, "I'll take my leave first, then. Let's meet at the Wine King Contest."
"Right. I look forward to your good performance."
After saying goodbye to Chu Xiang, Xiao Chen headed to the Wine King Contest with Iron Egg.
The venue of the Wine King Contest was in the City Lord's Residence.
Today, the City Lord's Residence was open to the public and exceptionally bustling.
However, ordinary people could only watch the Wine King Contest from the outer courtyard and could not enter the inner courtyard.
"Brother Xiao!"
Someone called out to Xiao Chen at an intersection. When he turned his head back, he saw that it was the Ice-Snow Mountain Manor's Ye Han.
"What a coincidence."
Xiao Chen had a good impression of this person, so he replied softly.
"This is not a coincidence. I've been waiting for Young Master Xiao at this intersection for five days already. Young Master Xiao never came to my Ice-Snow Mountain Manor's residence, so I could only wait here."
Ye Han did not hide anything, directly stating that he had purposely waited here for Xiao Chen.
Only now did Xiao Chen recall that before Ye Han left a few days ago, he did invite him to the Ice-Snow Mountain Manor.
Unfortunately, time was too tight, so Xiao Chen had completely forgotten about it.
"Sorry, Young Master Ye, why are you looking for me?"
Ye Han looked around. There were many people and carriages on the streets, but no one paid attention to the two of them.
Ye Han walked over and whispered, "If Young Master Xiao wins the Wine King Contest, will you give me the Ethereal Immortal Palace's key? Of course, the price is negotiable. I will definitely not disappoint Young Master Xiao. "
The Ethereal Immortal Palace again!
Xiao Chen's expression did not change as he said calmly, "Brother Ye really thinks highly of me. Let's talk about it later."
"In any case, that Xiahou Wu will definitely not agree to it. I can only try to get Young Master Xiao. If you agree, you can come and look for me at any time. "
Ye Han did not say anything more. After saying that, he performed a cupped-fist salute and took his leave.
Ye Han did not show any intention of traveling with Xiao Chen.
As Xiao Chen looked at Ye Han's departing figure, he entered deep thought. It looks like I have to spend some time to find out what kind of existence the Ethereal Immortal Palace is.
Xiao Chen continued on his way.
Half an hour later, Xiao Chen arrived at the City Lord's Residence and handed over his invitation, successfully entering the inner courtyard.
The venue for the Wine King Contest was set up on a tall platform.
After entering the inner courtyard, someone led Xiao Chen to the tall platform to take a seat.
The tall platform was already filled with people.
When Xiao Chen looked around, he found many of them familiar. They were the guests at the Heavenly Fragrance Palace that day.
Their gazes were hostile, but there was no murderous intent.
Only two people were exceptions. One was the Hound Lion Empire's crown prince, Xiahou Wu. Great Master Yuanfei stood behind him, smiling coldly as he looked at Xiao Chen.
The other person sat beside Pei Shaoxuan.
This person had a sullen expression, pitch-black eyes, and extremely heavy Demonic Qi spreading from his body.
Due to the different Demonic Cultivation Techniques one cultivated, Demonic Qi was ever-changing.
The characteristics of the other party's Demonic Qi were very familiar to Xiao Chen. Many of the Heavenly Slaughter Sect cultivators he had killed had this aura.
The Heavenly Slaughter Sect's Young Sect Master, Wang Yun!
A name immediately appeared in Xiao Chen's mind. He guessed this person's identity, but his expression did not change as he sat down calmly.
"This Xiao Chen is really bold! To think that his expression did not change at all when he saw Wang Yun. "
"He probably does not know how horrifying Wang Yun's strength is."
"I can tell that Great Master Yuanfei's gaze on this fellow is somewhat strange as well. Who knows what's going on?"
"You still don't know? The wine that this fellow brought was brewed by Old Du Qi. How could Great Master Yuanfei find him pleasing to the eye? "
"Haha! There will be a good show to watch now."
On the high platform, many people were whispering and discussing in low voices.
Suddenly, a group of people walked over from behind the tall platform.
One of them was a middle-aged man who looked extraordinary. He was casually dressed and had an unruly smile on his face.
His two glasses were slightly red, and he seemed to be a little drunk.
This was Peach Blossom City's City Lord, the Peach Blossom Sovereign Emperor.
Aside from the City Lord's Residence's experts, there was also a group of appraisers that the Heavenly Fragrance's Holy Daughter had invited over.
"Greetings, City Lord!"
The Peach Blossom Sovereign Emperor was no ordinary Sovereign Emperor. He possessed extremely horrifying strength. Even those Demonic Dao outstanding talents had to give him face.
At this moment, he didn't dare to be impudent and obediently bowed.
"Hahaha, you're welcome. It's time for the centennial wine party again. Thank you, everyone, for taking the trouble to bring me good wine. I don't like red tape, and I don't like to talk nonsense. Drink three glasses with me first. After three cups, we'll talk about the Wine King Contest. "
The Peach Blossom Sovereign Emperor appeared rather laid-back. He stumbled over to the host's seat and casually waved his wide sleeves.
In the blink of an eye, hundreds of wine cups flew out from his sleeves and shot toward him.
Bang! Bang! Bang! "
The wine cups instantly struck a few loose cultivators with weak cultivations. They vomited a mouthful of blood, and all their bones shattered as they went flying back in miserable states.
These loose cultivators fell off the tall platform, losing their qualifications to continue participating in the wine party.
Xiao Chen felt somewhat surprised. Unexpectedly, there was such a thing. The other participants were also somewhat surprised. There had not been such a rule in the past.
However, the Peach Blossom Sovereign Emperor's way of doing things was unfathomable, with no rules to follow.
Right now, there was no time to think too much. Xiao Chen had to catch three cups of wine first. Otherwise, he would be eliminated before it started.
