Everyone Is Drunk, I Alone Am Sober

Two loud bangs rang out, followed by muffled thuds as the two men's fists and legs collided again, producing a series of dull thuds.

Seeing this, everyone couldn't help but shake their heads, looking disappointed.

"That guy is such an idiot!"

"I really don't understand how he was able to cultivate to the Nascent Soul Realm. How could a genius like him be willing to stay in such a small sect to cultivate?"

"That's right, this guy is an idiot."

"..."

Seeing this, Lan Caihe's face turned ashen. He hadn't expected his opponent's strength to be so terrifying, as a single punch had struck him, causing him to stagger back several steps.

Seeing this, his face immediately darkened. He stared coldly at the Azure Cloud Swordsman before him, his eyes filled with killing intent, and said in a cold voice, "Boy, you are indeed strong, actually managing to force me to this extent. However, my strength is not to be underestimated! Let's continue fighting and see whose fist is harder!"

"Snort!"

Upon hearing this, the Azure Cloud Swordsman snorted coldly, his face also filled with an icy expression.

In that instant, the Spiritual Qi within him surged wildly into the longsword.

A terrifying Sword-Ray suddenly burst forth from the tip of the longsword.

An extremely violent aura emanated from the longsword, as if it contained a destructive force, giving people an extremely oppressive and terrifying feeling.

"Such a powerful aura! This Azure Cloud Swordsman is indeed very powerful, much stronger than the Azure-Clad Swordsman we encountered before!"

"Indeed! I never imagined that the Azure Cloud Swordsman had been hiding his abilities so deeply, actually reaching the Nascent Soul Early Stage. It's truly astonishing!"

"Yes!"

"As expected of a swordsman, his strength is indeed unparalleled. We are still far from being his match."

"That's necessary, after all, this Azure Cloud Swordsman is far too powerful; he's simply someone we can't contend with."

"..."

Upon seeing the aura of the Azure Cloud Swordsman, the surrounding people couldn't help but whisper among themselves, their eyes filled with envy and jealousy. They all held the Azure Cloud Swordsman in utter admiration and respect.

You are very powerful too!

Upon seeing the swordsman in blue before him, Cao Guojiu's expression changed slightly, but he quickly regained his composure and said in a cold voice.

"Since you know how powerful I am, you might as well surrender obediently! I'll leave you with a whole corpse, so you'll suffer less!"

"Haha, I think you're the one surrendering! Our strengths are evenly matched; there's no way you can beat me!"

Lan Caihe laughed loudly, his eyes fixed on Cao Guojiu, his face full of mockery.

"Is that so? You think you can defeat me with your current strength? You're being far too naive!" Cao Guojiu said with a mocking smile.

"Hmph, since you've chosen your own death, then I'll grant your wish."

Lan Caihe snorted coldly, and then launched another attack on Cao Guojiu. He struck out with both palms at the same time, trying to take the opportunity to kill Cao Guojiu.

"Court death!"

Seeing Lan Caihe's attack, Cao Guojiu snorted coldly and slashed out with his long sword, striking Lan Caihe.

The two attacks collided again, Lan Caihe was sent flying backward, his expression changing.

He sensed the terror emanating from Cao Guojiu.

He was no match for Cao Guojiu at all; if he didn't find a way to kill him, he was afraid he would perish here.

Lan Caihe immediately turned and ran.

Seeing Lan Caihe flee, Cao Guojiu sneered and quickly gave chase.

"Trying to run away? Not so easy!"

"Boy, let's see if you can catch up?" Lan Caihe a sneer, his speed rapidly increasing to its maximum, widening the distance between him and Cao Guojiu.

"Kid, you're not getting away!"

Upon seeing this, Cao Guojiu's expression changed, and he immediately sped up, frantically chasing after Lan Caihe. Brilliant Sword-Ray emanated from his body, drawing incomplete Sword Qi in the air.

"Kid, let's see if you can catch me! Haha..."

Seeing Cao Guojiu relentlessly pursuing him, a sinister smile appeared on Lan Caihe's lips. He then unleashed his most powerful killing move, launching an attack on Cao Guojiu, intending to defeat him in an instant.

Upon seeing his attack, Cao Guojiu's lips twitched.

A chilling aura settled between his brows, for he had witnessed the extraordinary power of Lan Caihe's sword strike, the barely concealed ferocity and domineering aura emanating from it enough to send shivers down one's spine.

If he were to be struck by this sword, he would likely be severely injured or even killed mid-air, even if he didn't die.

"Call!"

Cao Guojiu unleashed Dragon Roars Through the Nine Heavens once more, this time targeting Lan Caihe Dragon Soars Through the Nine Heavens!

A golden Sword Qi suddenly rushed towards Lan Caihe, as if it had transformed into a ferocious Jiaolong, carrying an indomitable momentum and incomparably domineering power, Lan Caihe.

A hint of disdain flashed across Lan Caihe's lips. He brandished his longsword, and instantly, streaks of Sword-Ray shot out, shattering Cao Guojiu's Dragon Roars Through the Nine Heavens.

Cao Guojiu snorted coldly, his wrist flicked, and a dazzling Sword-Ray once again condensed between his palms, meeting the golden Sword Qi head-on.

"Boom!"

The instant the two attacks collided, a powerful shockwave exploded in the air, sweeping in all directions and creating a large crater in the ground.

Lan Caihe's pupils contracted sharply. He felt as if he were sinking into a swamp, and his movements became increasingly sluggish. He tried to struggle out of the mire, but it became more and more difficult. He felt as if his body was filled with lead, and every movement was extremely difficult.

Cao Guojiu's face was also filled with solemnity as he faced Lan Caihe, feeling that Lan Caihe had become very difficult to deal with.

"As expected of a disciple of the Xuanming Sect, truly formidable!"

A solemn expression appeared on Cao Guojiu's face as he once again gathered sharp Sword-Ray in his palms Lan Caihe.

To Cao Guojiu's astonishment, Lan Caihe's reaction speed seemed to have become even faster; he constantly dodged and easily avoided Cao Guojiu's sword Sword-Ray.
