Chapter 1176: A Thousand Cups Are Too Few When Drinking with a Bosom Friend

With Xiao Chen's full-power strike, the three Ice Phoenixes flying over shattered. As snowflakes drifted, Xiao Chen downed the three cups of wine one after another.

”I really crave more of it; that was not enough!”

Xiao Chen put the wine cups down heavily, feeling very uninhibited. He seemed drunk yet not drunk. The more he drank, the more he got into the mood.

”As you wis.h.!.+”

Liu Yang's expression turned unsightly. He stood up, and his full aura erupted out. His hands moved so fast that they blurred. Cups of Thousand Year Snow flew out together with Ice Phoenixes.

All the outstanding talents in the hall were somewhat stunned silly. They had not expected a simple toast of wine to lead to something so grand and majestic.

Wearing the Fleeting Shadow Gloves, Xiao Chen's hands flashed even faster than Liu Yang's when Xiao Chen saw the dazzling number of Ice Phoenixes.

Cup after cup after cup. Xiao Chen seemed to be truly drunk. He could not help laughing loudly amid the wind and snow.

He radiated a strong saber intent as he laughed boisterously. His usual calm was nowhere to be found; instead, he displayed an unrestrained arrogance.

Liu Yang's movement stopped. He realized that he had run out of wine. He had already emptied out all the Thousand Year Snow that he brought. As for Xiao Chen, he had already drunk more than a hundred cups of it.

”No more wine? Never mind, I have some. As the saying goes, a thousand cups are too few when drinking with a bosom friend. Although Young Master Liu and I cannot be considered bosom buddies, we are both people who love wine. Since you honored me with one hundred cups, I will return the favor with a thousand cups!”

Xiao Chen put down the wine cups and suddenly stood up. His hair flew about together with his clothes.

”Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!”

All the empty wine cups on every table in the second floor trembled endlessly under the influence of Xiao Chen's seventy-percent-comprehended saber soul.

However, it seemed like there were still not enough wine cups. The saber intent spread out to the vast hall of the first floor. As long as it was an empty cup, it trembled intensely.

”What's going on?!”

This phenomenon startled many cultivators in the Conflagration Restaurant for they did not know what was prompting it.

”Whoos.h.!.+”

With a thought from Xiao Chen, all these wine cups gathered on the second floor—exactly one thousand of them.

Then, Xiao Chen took out the Thousand Year Flame that he stored in the Universe Ring. With a casual wave, the bottles emptied out. The golden wine poured out while flickering with a glistening golden light.

Without a single drop spilling, the wine filled up all the wine cups hovering in the air.

”Buzz!” The wine cups shook slightly as clumps of flame soared into the air. With the support of Xiao Chen's saber soul, they formed a huge Golden Crow.

The Golden Crow spread its wings, and a horrifying saber intent imposed suffocatingly strong pressure. The Golden Crow gave a startling cry as it flew towards Liu Yang while carrying one thousand cups of Thousand Year Flame.

When Liu Yang saw this, it frightened this descendant of the Black Sea Saber Sovereign silly; his legs trembled.

Under such situation, which outstanding talent here would dare to say they would not be drunk after one thousand cups!

Since you offered me one hundred cups, I will return one thousand cups. Do you dare to drink?!

The huge Golden Crow shone with a glistening golden light. Xiao Chen's puissant seventy-percent-comprehended saber soul made the Golden Crow's aura extremely sharp.

Accompanied by the thousand cups of Thousand Year Flame, it not only pressured Liu Yang, the descendant of the Black Sea Saber Sovereign, until his knees went soft but also stunned the other Great Bandits' descendants and made their hearts thump heavily.

At the same time, it inspired some fear in these people as well as relief that Xiao Chen was not targeting them. Just the thought of one thousand wine cups pressing over had them trembling in fear.

After drinking the one hundred cups of Thousand Year Snow, Xiao Chen felt somewhat woozy. He had not drunk so much in such a long time and had not been drunk for a long time as well. He could not even remember the last time he had gotten drunk.

He no longer cared about his ident.i.ty as the Azure Dragon King, or the Azure Emperor's descendant. He no longer cared about becoming a meteor if he did not reach Martial Emperor in four years.

Today, just let me get drunk for once. I do not want to care about anything. Just leave me be, to be arrogant and unbridled!

Xiao Chen's hair and clothes fluttered continuously, accompanied by the strong saber intent. He let out the air of an overlord, which he had kept repressed in his heart for a long time, without reserve.

”Hahahaha! Such a vast Black Sea filled with outstanding talents. Is there not a single person who dares to drink with me?!”

Xiao Chen held up the wine cup, his complexion flushed red. He looked at the scared silly Liu Yang and could not help laughing loudly. He laughed without any reservations or fear, feeling extremely delighted in his drunkenness.

The strange movements of the wine cups earlier already startled hundreds of cultivators in the Conflagration Restaurant's first floor. Even though this was a place where the Black Sea's fiercest cultivators gathered, these cultivators could not help feeling startled when they went to a higher elevation and peeked into the second floor.

”d.a.m.n! Who is this? He is insane!”

”He is truly boundlessly mad. This is the first time I feel pity for Liu Yang. Who would dare to accept these one thousand cups of wine?!”

”That is the white-robed bladesman who recently caused a big commotion by chopping off the head of the metal puppet in the city affairs office.”

”So, it is him. I heard about him. I heard that back then, he managed to s.n.a.t.c.h the victory in an overwhelming fas.h.i.+on despite Xia Yang, the Thunder Fire Sovereign's descendant, being expected to win. At that time, he truly stunned a large number of people.”

Seeing Xiao Chen abandoning all restraint, these cultivators peeping into the second floor chatted in whispers, their eyes filled with awe and respect.

Strength ruled. This was the same no matter where one was.

On the second floor, Ba Yan blushed with shame. This Brother Xiao Chen was probably really drunk, daring to say anything and offending all the outstanding talents with one sentence.

”Hehe! However, he is wild enough. I like it!” Ba Yan said with a grin.

When Liu Yang heard Xiao Chen's words, his complexion flushed and paled in turn. He felt somewhat ashamed and unable to show his face. Earlier, he said that Xiao Chen did not return the offering of wine. Now that there were one thousand cups, he was so remorseful, his intestines turned green.

[TL Note: Intestines turned green is the Chinese version of turn green with envy; it is not literal, just an exaggeration to show the level of its intensity.]

It was simply too difficult for Liu Yang to face such an imposing saber intent on his own.
