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

Chapter 7: Wine Boils, Swords Clang, Slaying the Three-Tailed Sword Scorpion King! Zhu Zhuqing Encounters Danger

Deep in the valley.

One by one, sword-tailed scorpions lay on the ground, fast asleep.

On a perfectly smooth boulder, the Three-Tailed Scorpion King lay alone, its three sword-like tails swaying unconsciously.

And just then.

bang bang—

Pieces of gravel were thrown at the swarm of swordtail scorpions, waking them all up.

"Come on, chase me."

Zhu Zhuqing held the bamboo tube, her palms covered in slippery sweat.

Upon seeing the sword-tailed scorpions raising their sword-tails and hissing as they charged towards her, she turned and ran.

"One minute!"

"I can definitely do it!"

"Li Zhexian, the rest is up to you!"

Seeing that his men had all gone after the enemy.

The Three-Tailed Scorpion King remained lazy and motionless.

Such a weak enemy is not worth its effort.

however.

Just as it was about to continue its nap.

The sound of hurried footsteps approached from afar.

call--!
The mist deep in the valley was disturbed.

A figure suddenly rushed out, a purple soul ring rising from beneath his feet, and a streak of azure sword light burst forth with terrifying sharpness.

"The Green Blade is severed!"

The visitor was none other than Li Zhexian.

He dared not waste any time and immediately used his soul skill after rushing into the valley.

The Three-Tailed Scorpion King never expected to have enemies.

It sensed the threat posed by the sword light and let out an angry hiss.

The three sword tails slashed out fiercely, flashing with a cold bronze light, making the air hum incessantly.

The Azure Lotus Sword clashed violently with the three sword tails.

Ping——!
The sharp sound of metal clashing rang out!
The Three-Tailed Scorpion King was shaken and fell off the stone platform!

Li Zhexian also retreated rapidly, his feet carving deep furrows in the ground. He then plunged the Azure Lotus Sword into the earth and slid several more meters before finally managing to stop in a disheveled state.

"What a terrifying power!"

Li Zhexian's right hand, which was holding the sword, trembled uncontrollably.

But he dared not stop.

"One minute!"

"Only one minute!"

Through his sweat-dampened hair, Li Zhexian's eyes appeared faintly red.

"My sword and wine spirits complement each other perfectly!"

"Today, the wine is boiling and the sword is roaring!"

A clear spring wine jug floated before my eyes.

Li Zhexian grabbed it in his hand, pulled out the stopper, and tilted his head back to drink the wine.

The moment the strong liquor rolled down my throat.

A tremendous amount of energy erupted from his body.

The Azure Lotus Sword hummed and trembled, its azure blade growing three inches larger.

And at this time.

The Scorpion King's sword tail flashed like lightning, cleaving through the air and heading straight for his head.

Li Zhexian rolled to his side.

The sword's tail crashed down beside him, cleaving the ground in a trench, from which spiderweb-like cracks spread outwards.

"The Green Blade is severed!"

Li Zhexian soared into the sky.

The surging azure light, carrying the near-ultimate sharpness of the Azure Lotus Sword.

Bah——!
The sword tip snapped off instantly.

Bronze-colored blood gushed out like a waterfall.

Li Zhexian didn't even have time to rejoice.

The Three-Tailed Scorpion King let out a painful hiss, its remaining two sword tails intertwining into a spiral, accompanied by a piercing sonic boom, heading straight for his chest.

Li Zhexian hastily spun around and slashed horizontally.

The blade and the tip of the sword collided, exploding into a fine shower of sparks.

The Three-Tailed Scorpion King's power is too great.

Li Zhexian was smashed into the rock wall, and rubble mixed with blood and foam spilled from his mouth.

And it's not over yet.

The Three-Tailed Scorpion King pounced.

The two intertwined sword tails separated and pierced Li Zhexian's shoulders from the left and right.

Li Zhexian groaned, and a large amount of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.

He slowly raised his head.

They met the Three-Tailed Sword Scorpion King's compound eyes, which were full of ferocity.

In the clash between the man and the beast, it seemed that Li Zhexian had lost.

But then he suddenly laughed.

The Azure Lotus Sword and the Clear Spring Wine Pot fluttered around him.

Wow!
The clear spring wine pot slowly tilted.

The clear and fragrant wine was poured onto the Azure Lotus Sword.

When the amber-colored wine soaked into the sword, the Azure Lotus Sword, which originally radiated a bluish light, turned as red as molten iron.

Lotus blossoms bloom on the green peak!

The wine boiled violently, and the sword hummed!

This is the "boiling wine and clanging swords"!
The Three-Tailed Scorpion King sensed something was wrong.

It wanted to retract its two sword tails.

But it was too late. Crimson sword energy surged like a blood dragon emerging from the abyss, while the azure lotus sword body unleashed a sharpness almost like blood.

He slashed down instantly at the two sword tails.

The Three-Tailed Scorpion King let out a mournful howl.

Feeling the sword ends embedded in his shoulders lose their strength, Li Zhexian gritted his teeth and straightened up. He grasped the Azure Lotus Sword, which was burning hot to the touch.

Having burned out his last bit of soul power, Li Zhexian leaped up suddenly.

The sword in his hand fell like a meteor, stabbing downwards at the frantically retreating Three-Tailed Scorpion King.

Bah——!
The blade pierced the flesh.

The two severed tails writhed wildly on the ground.

Li Zhexian knelt, leaning on the sword embedded in the Scorpion King's head, panting heavily.

At this time.

A purple spirit ring slowly rose from the Scorpion King's corpse.

……

Zhu Zhuqing buried her head and ran wildly.

About five or six meters behind, a group of sword-tailed scorpions relentlessly pursued them.

"One minute!"

"One minute!"

"Only ten seconds have passed!"

Zhu Zhuqing clenched her teeth tightly, her smooth forehead covered in beads of sweat.

A whooshing sound suddenly rang out beside her.

She touched the ground with her toes.

He jumped onto the branch of a giant tree.

The spot we were in just now.

The tail of a sword cleaved the ground, causing it to explode.

Zhu Zhuqing's delicate eyebrows twitched, and she hurriedly continued to flee.

Her long, black hair was blown about by the wind, sticking to her cheeks.

Dressed in a black outfit, she was also slashed in several places during her escape.

Zhu Zhuqing wanted to cry but had no tears.

Having always been pampered since childhood, she had never been so disheveled.

"Li Zhexian!"

You do owe me a favor!

"I've sacrificed so much!"

With that thought in mind, Zhu Zhuqing picked up the bamboo tube in her hand and took a sip.

Although I don't understand.

Why did Li Zhexian tell her to drink alcohol when she ran away?

But she did as she was told.

And the moment the wine enters the throat.

A gentle yet powerful energy spread throughout her body.

My legs, which were a little sore, suddenly felt much stronger.

Even the soul power within his body began to boil.

"Um?!"

Zhu Zhuqing stared wide-eyed at the bamboo tube in her hand with surprise and doubt.

"This wine..."

She jumped onto a boulder.

They dodged the sword's tail attack once again.

Then, I tried taking another sip of wine.

The same comfortable sensation flowed through my entire body as before.

Her speed suddenly increased by three points, instantly pulling the sword-tailed scorpion behind her several meters ahead.

"Excellent wine!"

Zhu Zhuqing blushed and thought to herself with delight:
"No wonder that Li Zhexian guy is always drinking!"

"Wow, his wine is really good!"

And so, he would take a sip of wine every now and then.

Although Zhu Zhuqing was still being chased by the sword-tailed scorpions, she became more adept at handling them.

until……

Two thousand-year-old sword-tailed scorpions joined the chase!
"Damn it!"

He glanced at the two thousand-year-old sword-tailed scorpions rapidly approaching.

Zhu Zhuqing's flushed face turned pale.

"Where did these thousand-year-old sword-tailed scorpions come from? Weren't they out hunting for food?!"

Zhu Zhuqing hurriedly drank the wine.

But soon, the wine in the bamboo tube was gone.

At this time.

The two thousand-year-old sword-tailed scorpions actually jumped up.

It appeared directly in front of her, blocking her way.

A scorpion with a sword tail hissed and surrounded Zhu Zhuqing.

Zhu Zhuqing had nowhere to retreat and panicked completely.

She was still just a twelve-year-old girl.

Seeing so many ferocious sword-tailed scorpions up close now, her eyes gradually reddened.

"hiss--!"

A thousand-year-old sword-tailed scorpion charged towards her.

Exhausted, Zhu Zhuqing had no time to dodge and could only close her eyes in despair, thinking:

"Li Zhexian!"

"It's been a minute! Where are you?!"
