Chapter 502: Chapter 21: Magnificent Aura, Meeting the Young Master_3

Nu Jianxian didn’t raise his gaze.

With a mere sweep of his sleeve, a jar of fine wine spun through the air.

The Angry Scale Dragon King, bare-chested with muscles like coiled dragons, held the wine jar in one hand and laughed heartily, "Even though we must fight soon, in this life I most enjoy making acquaintance with heroes and men of valor. Whether as friends or foes, it’s always thrilling. Come, come, come, I toast to you!"

"I’m just a river bandit who has killed and saved people, not anything good. I’ll drink first!"

"If you young lad don’t want to drink, more for me, haha!"

He tilted his head back and took large gulps of the drink.

Then with a flick of his wrist, the Dharma Form of a blue Flood Dragon clutched the wine jar.

Twisting through the void, it surged towards the youth. Li Guanyi swiftly swept his Battle Halberd with his right hand, Qilin Strength bursting forth as the blue Flood Dragon dispersed, and the jar of fine wine landed atop the Battle Halberd. With a movement of his wrist, he lofted the halberd, sending the wine aloft before bringing it down.

Li Guanyi reached out with his left hand, lifting the wine jar.

Tilting it, the liquid shone like jade as it poured down his throat.

He drank deeply, head back.

The way he responded without a word, directly, appealed to the character of these rugged heroes of the Martial World. The Angry Scale Dragon King’s eyes gleamed, laughter erupting in delight:

"Ha ha ha, good, good!"

"What a fine young man. Among the sons of the Seventy-two Villages, none have such boldness."

After taking a big swallow, Li Guanyi shook his hand and cast the wine jar back with a force of Wave-Rolling Energy, saying, "Seventy-two Linked Villages, blocking the great river’s traffic in all directions, the village chief robbing the rich to aid the poor, and the famed Flood Dragon Energy known by all. Good wine!"

The Angry Scale Dragon King, a rare sovereign of the waters, laughed heartily at these words.

The joy in his voice was clear.

As the wine jar spiraled and whistled through the air, Angry Scale Dragon King parried a move from Chen Chengbi, then, with a counter-stroke, exclaimed, "Good, good, good, a fine lad. Come, Nu Jianxian, what’s the fun in drinking alone? Have a drink!"

Nu Jianxian glanced downward, opened his mouth slightly, and a vortex of Inner Qi swirled, surging into his mouth.

He observed the spirited young man, seemingly giving him full regard for the first time, and spoke lightly, "I’ve heard of a sword called ’Scholar’s Sword’ in your possession. Although it’s a sharp weapon, rare in material, should you be willing, hand over the sword to me."

"Kunlun, Liu Nu."

Nu Jianxian’s attitude had shifted from previous disdain to current recognition.

With a flick of his hand, he tossed the wine jar toward the youth.

Sword Qi chilled the air.

Li Guanyi planted his Battle Halberd into the ground, unleashed a punch, shattering the Sword Qi with the Xue Family’s Shattering Jade Fist, then grabbed the wine jar, took a painful gulp, and replied, "Kunlun Sword Sect is renowned throughout the world for their sword nurturing and forging, not lesser than the Murong Family. All four Great Elders are famed in their own right."

"Unfortunately, the sword is the property of my good friend Yan Daiqing."

"When I left Jiangzhou, it was already left behind."

"If the elder is interested, seek him out another day. Should you impart to him a move or two, it would also benefit that pedantic scholar!"

Li Guanyi drank from the jar, then flung it into the air.

The usually stern Nu Jianxian lowered his gaze and with a sweep of his sleeve, the jug of wine flew straight toward the Sky-reaching Sect Master. The old man leaped into the air, grabbed the fine wine, and after taking two hearty swigs, said with a smile, "Just an old martial coot like me, bending over backwards for you, Yuwen Lie. We too wish to have some presence in this world, to do something grand."

"Hahaha, young friend, we’re focusing on the issue, not the person."

"I have indeed seen the elegance of the Chaos Qilin," he said.

Then, with a flick of his hand, the wine flew into Li Guanyi’s hands.

The young man burst into laughter, "The Sky-reaching Sect of the Northern Domain, with tens of thousands of disciples and branches, upholds justice and righteousness. Wherever there’s a fort or town, there lies a martial arts hall of the Sky-reaching Sect. Practicing martial arts for strength, establishing schools, how heroic!"

"This is good wine!"

Old Master Chen Chengbi shouted, "After all this fighting, only you guys get to drink?"

"Kid, I was the one who called you over to drink. How come you’re drinking with these old fools? No, no, throw the wine to me too."

Li Guanyi tossed the wine to Chen Chengbi, who reached out to catch it.

But a stream of Yin Yang Energy suddenly intervened, and the jug of beautiful wine was taken by the Great Elder of the Yin Yang Reincarnation Sect. This extremely beautiful person smiled softly, with a clear and bright voice said gently:

"As recorded in the annals of history, the courage of a young hero cannot be matched by the common rabble of the Martial World."

"It’s what’s known as the stature of the Dragon and Tiger."

"In the past, I thought these were just overly generous words in the history books, but now that I’ve seen for myself, there are indeed such people."

He tilted his head back, and the other grandmasters let the liquid fall and then drank it up using their Inner Qi.

Only the Great Elder of the Yin Yang Reincarnation Sect sipped directly from the jug without lifting it.

Then, with a shake of his hand.

That jug of wine flew steadily towards Li Guanyi.

The Great elder of the Yin Yang Reincarnation Sect wiped a drop of wine from his lips and smiled:

"I’ll also join you for a drink."

Tu Shengyuan’s mouth twitched, about to shout, when the hidden Nangong Wumeng, who was observing the beautiful Great Elder of the Yin Yang Reincarnation Sect, frowned slightly. At this moment, the bravado-filled young man suddenly raised his hand and drew his Battle Halberd.

The Battle Halberd swept fiercely.

The tiger’s maw spouted blades, tearing through the cold gleam.

The sound produced by the Battle Halberd’s edge as it cut through the air was like the roar of a tiger, shattering the jug of wine with one blow. With a bang, the fragrance of wine exploded and dissipated like mist.

The Great Elder of the Yin Yang Reincarnation Sect’s smile froze.

Li Guanyi didn’t even attempt to catch it. The young man lifted his Battle Halberd, pointing at the beautiful Great Elder of the Yin Yang Reincarnation Sect, and said in a cold voice:

"You vile creature, how dare you drink with me?"

Tu Shengyuan burst out laughing, "Excellent!"

Then he was almost overturned by a surge of Jin Qi. He pulled out a series of afterimages, rolling and crawling messily to dodge the attack from the beautiful Great Elder. The icy gaze of the Great Elder followed Li Guanyi as she asked, "... Young General, are you declaring yourself our enemy?"
