Douluo Continent: A Fallen Immortal Descends to Earth, Slaying Gods with a Drunken Sword

Chapter 35 The Second Form of the Azure Lotus Sword Song – Yin and Yang! Ye Lingling arrives, and Li Zhexian accepts the challenge.

That night.

The moon is reflected in the cold pool, and clouds rise from the hot spring.

The mists of the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire intertwined and rose under the starlight, clearly distinct yet seamlessly integrated.

A swordsman in white robes arrives under the moonlight, his toes shattering a pool of starlight.

Li Bai, the banished immortal, gracefully landed in the center of the spring.

His mind was clear, his eyes were like lightning, and he was captivating.

Sensing its master's clear and bright sword mind, the Azure Lotus Sword let out a clear and melodious cry.

With his sword in hand, Li Zhexian moved slightly.

The sword was washed from the fiery spring to the cold spring, and the spring water rippled outwards.

"Ice forges the blade, fire tempers it into sharpness; the true essence of swordsmanship lies in the balance of strength and gentleness."

Huhu——

Huhu——

A sudden gust of wind arose, as if in response.

The sword is three feet and six inches long, with a clear and pure texture like jade.

The sword's spine splits in the middle, one side crimson like surging lava, the other icy blue like the cold light of the polar regions.

"Yang represents blazing heat; the sword is drawn like the sun descending upon the dust!"

With a slight flick of his wrist, Li Zhexian unleashed a burst of crimson flames from the sword's edge.

Each sword strike carried the force of a falling meteor, and the air distorted like a transparent serpent wherever the scorching waves passed.

"The Yin is like frost, the sword sheathed is like an eternal night sealing off the border!"

Li Zhexian's sword technique suddenly shifted, and a deep blue, cold light instantly condensed at the tip.

Where the sword energy swept, frost patterns spread like a spider web, instantly turning grass and trees into crystal frost, and shattering into dust with the passing wind.

Boom——! ! !
The sword energy, a blend of ice and fire, surged into the sky, fiercely tearing through the night.

Li Zhexian leaped into the air.

When he landed, the soil on the left side of the ten-foot radius around him was scorched and cracked, while the right side was covered with ice crystals an inch thick.

It was as if a Tai Chi symbol had appeared with him at the center.

The sword trembled slightly, and the strange phenomena of ice and fire on the blade disappeared, restoring its cool, jade-like color.

Li Zhexian ran his fingers over the newly formed yin-yang fish pattern on the sword's spine, pondered for a while, and then chuckled softly:

"The second move of the Azure Lotus Sword Song is called..."

"Two Elements".

"This technique has two aspects, namely the Blazing Sword and the Frosty Sword."

"There are three realms of swordsmanship: the lower level cuts people, the middle level cuts oneself, and the upper level cuts the night."

"If……"

"The first move of the Azure Lotus Sword Song - Yao Guang, is a ray of starlight that I stole. Wherever the sword points, it takes lives and steals the light of the heavens."

"Then the second move of the Azure Lotus Sword Song—the Two Elements—is the line of Yin and Yang that I have cut off. It is meant to sever life and death, and also to glimpse the workings of creation."

"call……"

Li Bai exhaled the pent-up emotions in his chest, tilted his head back, and drank a large gulp of wine.

"That felt great!"

"The second form of the Azure Lotus Sword Song is complete!"

"I, Li Zhexian, have finally emerged from seclusion!"

The next day.

The sky was just beginning to lighten.

Li Zhexian returned to the courtyard.

From afar, a slender figure could be seen carrying large and small bags, standing quietly in front of the door.

This person was Ye Lingling.

Li Zhexian stepped forward and noticed that the girl hadn't noticed him yet.

He was seized by a playful impulse.

He leaned close to the girl's ear.

He let out a loud yell.

"what--!"

Ye Lingling trembled in surprise.

Everything in his hands fell to the ground.

She remained silent, her cool and aloof face expressionless as she bent down to pick it up.

Li Zhexian pursed his lips, flicked his fingertips, and a wisp of supple sword energy swept up the items on the ground and steadily delivered them into Ye Lingling's arms.

"Ye Lingling, what are you doing at my house?"

Ye Lingling pursed her lips, her azure eyes quickly glancing at Li Zhexian before lowering them and handing over what she was holding, her voice clear and crisp like an icy spring:

"for you."

Li Zhexian didn't answer, but instead looked Ye Lingling up and down, looking at her long blue hair damp with morning dew, and asked:

"Did your mother send you?"

Ye Lingling remained silent.

Li Bai, the banished immortal, understood and then asked:

"You come every morning?"

Still silent.

"Ugh……"

Li Zhexian sighed softly and unlocked the door for himself.

“Go back and tell your mother that I have absolutely no interest in the old grudge between the Nine-Star Begonia and the Seven-Treasure Glazed Pagoda.”

The words fell.

He stepped into the courtyard.

Ye Lingling followed closely behind.

boom--!
The courtyard gate slammed shut in an instant.

He almost bumped into the tip of her pert nose.

The girl lowered her eyelashes, her slender figure standing stubbornly in place, still tightly clutching the gift her mother had asked her to deliver.

Her exquisitely beautiful face was expressionless. She was aloof and ethereal, yet she resembled a small animal abandoned in the wind and rain.

Feeling lost and helpless, all alone and without support.

Li Zhexian put the Ye family's affairs out of his mind.

I haven't been back these past few days.

The room was already covered with a thick layer of dust.

He pointed his fingers like a sword and swept them through the air, instantly creating a strong wind inside the room, scattering dust everywhere.

With another wave of his sleeve, the wind gathered dust into a ball, which he casually flicked out of the house.

After tidying up the corner and organizing the clothes, half an hour had passed.

Looking at the newly renovated little house, Li Zhexian nodded in satisfaction.

Next, it's time to tend to the courtyard.

Li Zhexian pushed open the door and stepped into the courtyard.

At this moment, he frowned and looked towards the direction of the courtyard gate, where the faint breath outside the gate was still there.

"Still not leaving?"

Li Zhexian stepped forward and opened the courtyard gate.

With a creaking sound, Ye Lingling's cool yet delicate face reappeared.

"for you."

With beads of sweat on her forehead, she presented the gift to Li Zhexian.

"Ye Lingling, are you really that stubborn?"

Li Zhexian frowned deeply, leaving no room for negotiation in his words.

"I have no way of accepting anything belonging to your Ye family."

After that, he turned and left.

Ye Lingling's gaze fell on the clear spring wine flask clipped to his waist. She blinked her blue eyes and suddenly said:
“Inside… is some aged wine my mother gave you.”

-

The air froze for a moment.

Li Zhexian suddenly turned around, a warm smile blooming on his handsome face:

"Oh, isn't this Ye Lingling!"

"You just said you were coming, why did you bring anything?"

Ye Lingling stared blankly at the white-robed boy's impulsive act, her red lips slightly parted.

Li Zhexian rummaged through the pile of rare and precious materials, finally selecting a small wine pot, and happily entered the courtyard.

This time, the courtyard gate was not closed.

Ye Lingling silently followed her inside.

Seeing the dusty yard, she silently rolled up her sleeves and started cleaning.

Li Zhexian didn't stop him. Instead, he sat on a stone bench in the courtyard, uncorked the wine pot, and took a delicious sip.

He smacked his lips.

"Hmm, not bad, it has a bit of the aftertaste of flower wine."

"Unfortunately, it's still a bit short of being ready to be used in my Clear Spring Wine Pot."

Watching Ye Lingling clumsily but earnestly wield the broom.

With a casual flick of his finger, Li Zhexian unleashed an invisible sword aura that swept across the courtyard, leaving all the dust to settle in the corner.

Ye Lingling sat down opposite him, her eyes lowered and she remained silent.

"Can I drink it?"

Li Zhexian pushed the wine pot toward her.

"At least you brought it."

Ye Lingling took the wine pot and tilted her head back to take a big gulp.

"Cough cough!"

"Cough cough!"

The pungent smell of alcohol hit her lungs, and she coughed, covering her mouth. Her cheeks flushed red, and her blue eyes became misty.

Li Zhexian took back the wine pot and frowned, saying:
"If you don't want to drink, then don't drink."

“I was asking you a question, not forcing you.”

Ye Lingling wiped the wine stains from the corner of her lips, her voice carrying a barely perceptible breathlessness:

“My mother told me to listen to you.”

"I'll do whatever you tell me to do."

Li Zhexian's brows furrowed even deeper.

"And what about yourself? Don't you have anything you want to do?"

Looking at the girl's face, which was less aloof and more devoid of spirit, leaving only a numb and submissive expression, Li Zhexian waved his hand:
"Never mind, let's not talk about this."

"Hmm, what's been happening in Tiandou City lately?"

Ye Lingling thought for a moment.

"Have."

"A fat guy who calls himself the Evil Fire Phoenix has come to the Imperial City and has won nearly fifty consecutive matches in the Soul Arena."

"He boasted that he would challenge Jianjiu."

She paused, then looked at Li Zhexian.

"He wants to break the sword of the sword-wine maker and kick over the wine of the sword-wine maker."

Li Zhexian paused slightly as he raised the wine pot, then calmly put the wine into his mouth.

Snapped--

The wine pot was placed on the stone table.

He stood up.

Ye Lingling also got up.

"Where are you going?"

"Battle Arena".
