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

Chapter 12 The Third Answer of the Sword, The First Form of the Azure Lotus Sword Song, A Chance Encounter with Crown Prince Xue Qinghe of the Heavenly Dou Clan.

That night.

The stars, like scattered silver, dotted the night sky.

The Milky Way stretches across the night sky like a jade ribbon.

Li Zhexian sat on the courtyard steps from afternoon until evening.

The Azure Lotus Sword lay across his lap, its blade reflecting starlight as if immersed in the Milky Way.

"call……"

Li Zhexian looked up at the sky, his eyes filled with stars.

"sword……"

What is a sword?

"The first answer is: the sword as a weapon!"

"The sword is a weapon of destruction. It is a double-edged, cold iron, born to kill!"

Li Zhexian gripped the sword hilt with his other hand.

The sword light flashed suddenly in the courtyard.

The cold light of the sword reflected in his even colder eyes.

A mosquito in mid-air was cut in two.

"Second answer: The Sword of the Heart!"

"The sword is me, and I am the sword. The sword is not merely a weapon of iron; it is an extension of my will. Where the sword's edge points, so too does my heart's desire!"

Li Zhexian placed the Azure Lotus Sword horizontally on his lap again.

With each breath he took, the Azure Lotus Sword shimmered rhythmically.

He breathed the same air as the Azure Lotus Sword; the sword became part of his very being.

"The third answer: The Sword of Heaven!"

"The sword cuts through the light of the heavens, and man steals the secrets of the heavens. There are three realms of swordsmanship: the lower sword cuts man, the middle sword cuts oneself, and the upper sword cuts through the night. A master swordsman uses the sword as a pen and the heavens and earth as a canvas. With one stroke, the Milky Way hangs upside down; with one stroke, all is silent!"

"Then what is this sword move of mine...?"

Li Zhexian stood up, sword in hand.

He slowly closed his eyes, the cool starlight surging through his veins, and fine frost flowers condensing on the spine of the sword.

The hand holding the sword was trembling!
It's not scary!
Rather, it was a kind of tremor as something was about to burst forth from the earth!
With arms outstretched like a bow and sword moving like a rainbow, Li Zhexian raised his sword and instantly shattered the surrounding three zhang of night.

The sword marks carried starlight, and wherever they passed, the air hissed, and fine stardust like snowflakes fell in a flurry.

"This sword move..."

"It was a wisp of divine will that I stole."

Li Zhexian finished his stance, stroked his sword, and whispered:
"The first sword of my self-created Azure Lotus Sword Song is called 'Yao Guang,' which means to take a life and steal the light of heaven."

"It's a pity that it only became half a move."

Seeing that the grass within a ten-step radius was covered with a layer of glistening frost, Li Zhexian sighed and said:

"The Yaoguang wine has not yet been consumed."

"In the end, I can never truly appreciate the feeling of starlight."

"Therefore, there is still room for improvement in my move 'Yao Guang'."

"When I drink the Yao Guang Brew, it will be the time when my martial spirit of wine evolves and I complete the first sword move."

Silent all night.

In his dream, Li Zhexian dreamed that he drank Yaoguang Brew.

He drank wildly under the starlight, and with a sweeping motion of his sword, even the stars seemed to tremble.

After waking up.

Li Zhexian went out to find a way to drink Yaoguang Brew.

He stood back and forth in front of the palace gate eight times, and the way the patrolling guards looked at him changed.

"Ugh……"

"Let's take it one step at a time. Fine wine is a matter of fate, and these things can't be rushed."

Li Zhexian was a free-spirited person.

He immediately bought a set of fishing gear, along with a flint and a starter, and prepared to find a place to fish.

It's not that he doesn't want to eat at restaurants.

The main reason was that he rented a courtyard and had spent too much money on the way to Xingdou City.

Now my wallet is empty.

"Just thinking about fishing makes my hands itch."

Immediately.

Li Zhexian then went to the river inside Tiandou City.

But I only found out after I got there.

It's completely unsuitable for fishing.

The painted boats competed for attention on the river, scaring away the fish.

Li Zhexian carried his fishing gear.

They searched and searched before finally leaving Tiandou City.

We passed through another peach orchard in full bloom.

As a cool, moisture-laden breeze caressed my face, a crystal-clear lake came into view.

The lake is about three or four acres in size, and the lakeside is covered with beautiful lotus flowers. Every now and then, fish leap out and snatch the lotus petals.

Li Zhexian's eyes lit up.

He glanced around and saw only a white-clad figure sitting on the shore fishing.

So he walked away quickly.

I found a good fishing spot.

He plopped down on the stool.

The process of baiting, hanging bait, and casting the hook is completed in one smooth motion.

The fishing rod was stuck on the ground.

Li Zhexian started fiddling with the stove again.

A handsome young man in white, standing a few meters away, curiously peered in his direction. Li Zhexian, having set up the stove, smiled at the young man in white:

How was the catch?

"How about I borrow two first? I'll return them to you as soon as I catch them."

Xue Qinghe shook his head.

"I haven't caught anything yet."

Li Zhexian raised an eyebrow.

"Oh, the Air Force guy."

Xue Qinghe frowned almost imperceptibly.

Air Force guy?
What do you mean?
It doesn't sound like a compliment.

In the reeds dozens of meters away from the lake.

Upon seeing the white-robed youth suddenly intrude, the porcupine-like Douluo, dressed as a prince's bodyguard, tried to drive him away.

Serpent Spear Douluo reached out and stopped him.

"Alright, don't go."

The Porcupine Douluo frowned and said:
"But the young master said he didn't want to be disturbed."

The Serpent Spear Douluo looked at the white-robed youth fishing and setting up a pot, as if he were trying to make a living, and said with a sneer:

"Did you see what the young master said?"

"Um?!"

The fishing rod in my hand was being pulled.

Li Zhexian's eyes lit up, and he suddenly raised his pole.

Crash—!
A silver-tailed fish the size of a palm was pulled out of the water, the fishing rod was retrieved, and the fish was untied.

Remove the head and internal organs, clean it thoroughly, and put it into the pot.

The whole process was as smooth as flowing water.

Xue Qinghe, who was standing next to him, was stunned.

Li Zhexian cast his line again and laughed:

"Freshness is key."

"Hey Air Force guy, if you want some, let me catch a few more and share some with you."

Caring for Air Force veterans is everyone's responsibility.

Xue Qinghe turned his head.

"No need, I can fish myself."

Every week, he would go fishing at this lotus lake.

She wasn't after the fish; she just wanted to clear her mind and get rid of all those unpleasant things.

But today, a young man in a white shirt has suddenly wandered into the lotus lake.

But it ignited his competitive spirit.

"Ah……"

Xue Qinghe sneered inwardly.

Do you think I can't catch fish if I don't show off my skills?!
A few minutes later...

"Serve the fish!"

Li Bai picked up his fishing rod again.

Xue Qinghe pursed her lips and looked at the calm water in front of her.

A few minutes later...

"More fish are served!"

Li Zhexian's eyes crinkled with laughter.

Xue Qinghe remained calm, his hand tightly gripping the motionless fishing rod.

A few minutes later...

"Hi Hi!"

Li Zhexian's smile was more radiant than that of a lotus flower.

Xue Qinghe put away his fishing rod and got up to leave.

"Hey, why are you arguing with me like that?"

Li Zhexian called out to him from behind.

"It's just a few fish, not worth much money. We're friends since we met."

"Come on, let's eat fish together."

Xue Qinghe did not turn around.

"Don't eat."

-

-

Half an hour later.

Xue Qinghe slowly chewed the fish in his mouth and nodded:

"It smells quite good."

Li Zhexian took a sip of wine, then ate a bite of fish, enjoying the cool breeze and squinting his eyes.

"Comfortable."

She glanced at the white-clad youth whose bangs were ruffled by the breeze, giving him a carefree air.

Xue Qinghe asked:
"Are you from the outer city?"

Li Zhexian raised an eyebrow and said:
"How did you know?"

Xue Qinghe lowered his head and ate the fish without saying a word.

How do I know?
If they are from Tiandou City.

How could he not recognize himself, the Crown Prince of Tiandou...?
