Chapter Fifty-Nine: Willow Wind

  Xiao Fan ran all the way to a small forest outside the city, releasing his spiritual sense to observe everything around him. After confirming that there was nothing within three miles that could threaten him, he took out the Cold Iron Sword from his storage bag.

  Xiao Fan stood in the midst of the dense forest, his right hand grasping his sword, his eyes slightly closed as he repeatedly recalled everything about "Fen Guang Jian Ying".

  "Cut!"

  Suddenly, Xiao Fan let out a loud roar, and he swung his sword, with two Chaotic Yuan forces transforming into a single sword light that shot out. The sword light split into two in mid-air, quickly slashing forward.

  "Hum..."

  Two sword lights, one in front and one behind, slashed through the jungle, instantly, two loud roars burst forth like thunder, and a huge pit of about ten zhang in diameter appeared where the sword light struck.

  "What a powerful force, this sword is my full-strength blow, combining my physical strength and Chaos Origin Force. The power of this sword has absolutely surpassed the Transcendent Realm, but I don't know if it has reached the Condensed Divine Realm."

  Xiao Fan's face was filled with shock and even he himself was amazed by the power of this sword.

  "Another sword."

  Xiao Fang concentrated his mind, closed his eyes, and struck out with his sword once again.

  "Cut!"

  Xiao Fan let out a loud shout, and a sword light flashed out, splitting into two sword lights that slashed forward in the empty air.

  "Chop! Chop!"

  Immediately afterwards, Xiao Fan let out two loud shouts, and the two sword lights stopped in mid-air. Then, the light grew brighter, as if it was about to split into four sword lights.

  "Chop! Chop! Chop!"

  Xiao Fan continued to drink heavily, but the two sword lights on the building could never be separated. No matter how hard Xiao Fan tried, using all his skills and techniques, he couldn't separate the two sword lights again.

  "Hmph..."

  Xiao Fan refused to give up and tried to split the sword light into four, but ended up severely injuring himself, spitting out blood, while the two sword lights ultimately dissipated in mid-air.

  "It seems that with my current strength, splitting into two sword lights is already the limit." Wiping away the blood from the corner of his mouth, Xiao Fan shook his head with a bitter smile.

  "This move will become my lifesaving trump card from now on, I also can't be too greedy."

  Xiao Fan then smiled softly.

  "After working hard for two or three days, it's time to go back and have a good meal." Xiao Fan laughed loudly as he returned to the city.

  "Waiter, bring up all the good wine and dishes."

  After returning to the city, Xiao Fan found a best wine house, self-poured and self-drunk, drinking up.

  In just a few short days, Xiao Fan's cultivation broke through to the first rank and he also successfully cultivated the ultimate move "Divided Light Sword Shadow", his mood was naturally extremely pleasant.

  "This brother, under the willow wind, may I sit with you at the same table?" Just as Xiao Fan was pouring himself a drink, a young man holding a long sword came to Xiao Fan's side with a smile.

  A young man wearing a green robe, holding a long sword in his hand, walking with a friendly smile on his face.

  Xiao Fan looked around and found that all the other tables were already occupied, leaving only his table with no one else sitting at it. The young man named Liu Feng was going to share a table with him.

  "Heh heh, if Brother Liu doesn't mind, let's sit together and have a couple of drinks, what do you say?" Xiao Fan said with a smile.

  "Thank you, Xiao brother." Liu Feng nodded and sat down.

  "Come on, in this vast sea of people, you and I meeting is fate, let's have a drink!" Xiao Fang poured a cup of wine for Liu Feng.

  "Haha, Brother Xiao is right, it's a blessing for me to know Brother Xiao. Cheers!" Liu Feng laughed and clinked glasses with Xiao Fan, taking a drink together.

  The two men finished their wine in one gulp. When Xiao Fan wanted to continue pouring, he was stopped by Liu Feng, who said: "This cup of wine should be poured by me."

  "Hehe, Brother Liu is really polite." Xiao Fan didn't argue with him over pouring the wine, but instead smiled and let the opportunity go to Liu Feng.

  Liu Feng held the wine jug and first poured a cup of wine for Xiao Fan, then poured one for himself. His movements were neither fast nor slow, calm and composed, showing his gentlemanly demeanor without a doubt.

  Xiao Fan sensed Liu Feng's cultivation with his spiritual sense and was shocked to discover that Liu Feng's cultivation had actually reached the level of a Departed Mortal Eighth Rank.

  "Unexpectedly, this Liu Feng is not very old, looking about the same as me, yet his cultivation has already reached the 8th rank of Transcending Mortality, he's also a talented individual." Xiao Fan thought to himself.

  "Come on, let's go!"

  As the saying goes, a thousand cups are too little when meeting old friends, and then the two of them started drinking.

  As time passed, both of them found that each other's temperament was similar to their own, and they had a sense of mutual affection.

  "Hey, isn't this Liu Feng's brother?" Just as the two were drinking enthusiastically, someone sitting at a table next to Xiao Fan and his friends suddenly recognized Liu Feng.

  "It's just right that it's Liu Feng. I've met this big brother before." Liu Feng smiled apologetically at Xiao Fan, stood up and clasped his fists in greeting to the man.

  "I wouldn't dare, I wouldn't dare. I am Xia Zhangsan. I've long heard that the Liu brothers are famous young heroes in several towns and cities around here. Today, I see that their reputation is well-deserved." The man said with a smile.

  "Ah, Zhang Dage is being polite, those are just empty titles."

  Liu Feng and Zhang San were exchanging pleasantries, while Xiao Fan was curious about their conversation. From what Zhang San said, it seemed that Liu Feng was a righteous knight-errant who was quite famous.

  Out of curiosity, Xiao Fan didn't disturb the two either, quietly listening to their conversation, and finally understood some things.

  Liu Feng is a celebrity in the small towns around him, because he likes to fight for justice, is not afraid of the powerful, and helps others with pleasure. He is a well-known good man, so many people admire him.

  "Who would have thought that this guy is actually a decent person and a great philanthropist." Xiao Fang suddenly found Liu Feng interesting.

  Zhang San was extremely enthusiastic towards Liu Feng, and the two of them chatted for a long time before parting ways.

  Liu Feng sat down and smiled apologetically at Xiao Fan, saying: "Sorry about that, he's just too enthusiastic. I'll punish myself with three cups." Then, he poured himself a drink and downed three large cups.

  "Haha, why does Brother Liu need to punish himself? Friends meeting and chatting for a while is just human nature." Xiao Fan.

  "Actually, I don't know him." Liu Feng said somewhat awkwardly to Xiao Fan.

  "It seems like that person is quite familiar with you." Xiao Fan was puzzled.

  Liu Feng had already drunk several cups with Xiao Fan, his face slightly flushed, with a hint of intoxication, and said: "Not to hide from you, Elder Xiao, I was fond of fighting for justice since childhood. Later, I accidentally obtained some cultivation methods and practiced them randomly, achieving some minor accomplishments. Usually, I like to help people, and over time, I gained some small reputation."

  "I didn't expect Liu brother to be a big celebrity, I'm really sorry. Xiao Fan had a smile on the corner of his mouth, this guy, after getting drunk, speaks the truth, and seems to have some hidden sorrow."

  "Enough said, let's drink to it." Liu Feng laughed with a heroic air.

  "Haha, when wine meets a bosom friend, a thousand cups are not enough. Today, the two of us will not leave until we're drunk." Xiao Fan's mood was also extremely relaxed, so he simply let loose and drank.

  "Come on, let's have a drink."

  "Cheers!"

  As a result, a strange scene formed inside the wine house, two young men each holding a jar of wine and drinking wildly, as if they were not drinking wine but water.

  No, even water can be drunk to satiety, but the two of them seemed like bottomless pits, downing one jar of wine after another.

  The other guests in the wine house were also attracted by the two men's generosity, and one by one they opened their mouths to drink big mouthfuls, which caused the wine house's turnover to soar rapidly.

  In the end, Liu Feng was already drunk with bleary eyes and still wanted to hold onto his wine to continue drinking, while Xiao Fan remained expressionless.

  At this moment, Xiao Fan's physical body had reached the realm of indestructibility, and his alcohol tolerance had increased by an unknown amount, to the point where he was not drunk after a thousand cups. However, Liu Feng, despite having the cultivation base of Tuo Fan Ba Pin, did not use his internal energy to neutralize the effects of the wine, so relying solely on his physical constitution, he wouldn't be able to hold out for much longer.

  Even so, Liu Feng's capacity for liquor has surprised many people.

  In the end, Liu Feng even fell asleep directly on the table. Xiao Fan had to open a room and let Xiao Er Ge help send Liu Feng into the room to rest.
