CHAPTER 375: CHAPTER 333: THE POWER OF GOLD

Gentian Wine is made using a special formula, infused with rich and explosive Source Power, which is greatly beneficial to cultivators.

However, this wine is too strong, drinking too much can be harmful.

An ordinary Silver Sword Hero probably couldn’t even drink a jin.

For Song Yunxi and Miao Xifeng to drink three jin without embarrassing themselves is already a top-tier Silver Sword Hero performance.

Miao Xifeng is older, while Song Yunxi has excellent talent and enough resources, enabling him to reach the fifteenth-level Sword Hero at this age.

Looking across the Beidou Star Realm, there are only a couple of people with cultivation as high as Song Yunxi.

Both stand at the peak of Silver Sword Heroes, naturally aware of the limits of Silver Energy Level.

So, they both had some doubts about Gao Xuan’s killing of Shao Daoyuan.

Without combat video records on the scene, just the combat result, it’s hard to say how much trickery was involved.

Taking the opportunity of the drinking contest, they also wanted to see what Gao Xuan was capable of.

As a result, the two were directly convinced by drinking.

Moreover, looking at Gao Xuan’s situation, it’s likely even Song Muyang could lose...

This is simply unbelievable!

Song Yunxi’s eyes towards Gao Xuan have changed, what kind of constitution does this young man have? So powerful.

Miao Xifeng, who is so proud, also admits that Gao Xuan is really good at drinking. Much stronger than him, by more than ten times.

Song Muyang also admires Gao Xuan a little. He put down his wine glass and said, "Gentian Wine is too strong. It’s not beneficial to drink too much."

Of course, he could still drink, but there was no need. After all, his invitation for a meal was not to compete in drinking with Gao Xuan.

If he really made Gao Xuan unwell from drinking, that would be against the original intention.

Gao Xuan smiled and said, "If I drink more, I’ll make a fool of myself, thanks Brother Song for letting me off."

"You’re joking, brother."

Song Muyang said, "I’ve seldom admired anyone in my life, today I have a bit of admiration for you."

Song Muyang also gave a thumbs up to express his sincere admiration.

Gao Xuan said, "I should express modesty, but with Brother Song praising me so sincerely, I can only sincerely accept it."

"Hahahahaha..."

Song Muyang liked Gao Xuan’s carefree nature, being modest and courteous is easy, but such people are often very hypocritical and very boring to interact with.

Song Muyang was originally good at talking, and Gao Xuan was also witty and humorous, the two chatted freely about various topics, both feeling a strong connection.

Song Yunxi, having recovered from the wine, joined in the lively conversation as well.

Miao Xifeng, although a bit reserved, spoke to Gao Xuan with more familiarity and ease.

Actually, both Miao Xifeng and Song Yunxi had drunk too much, although they were sober and in full control of their bodies, their emotions had unconsciously loosened, this is the most subtle part of intoxication.

At this time, no one cared about what they were eating, the four of them chatted excitedly and enthusiastically, almost ready to swear an oath of brotherhood.

Just as the atmosphere at the table was at its peak, a few people walked in from outside.

The leading person called out from afar, "Old Song, I’m here."

This person had jade-like features, wore jade-colored robes, his long hair casually tied into a bun, and held a white jade folding fan very stylishly.

Judging by his appearance, this person was handsome and graceful, indeed having a bit of extraordinary elegance.

Song Muyang frowned at the sound: "Why are you here?"

Song Yunxi also looked over with curiosity and immediately recognized him: Jin Yutang.

Jin Yutang of Thousand Mechanism Star, said to be the top-ranked Sword Hero in this year’s Sword Dao Finals.

Many people believe that this year will be Jin Yutang’s time, he is certain to lead the Thousand Mechanism Star Realm to win the championship and earn the title of Sword King.

Thousand Mechanism Star Realm is located in the core area of the Central Star Realm, ranked in the top eight among the Central Thirty-Six Star Realms in terms of overall strength.

Jin Yutang, as a representative of the young generation of the Thousand Mechanism Star Realm, is indeed extremely outstanding.

Jin Yutang has swept through all opponents along his way, invincible. His momentum is very strong. Many even think he has achieved the Golden Sword Saint level.

In the past half year, Jin Yutang’s fame has grown more and more. He is already a well-known Sword Hero in the Central Star Realm.

Song Yunxi had never met Jin Yutang, but had watched many of his battle videos and was quite knowledgeable about him.

So she immediately recognized Jin Yutang. Judging by her brother’s reaction, it seemed that he knew Jin Yutang, and their relationship was not good.

Song Yunxi knew Song Muyang well, her brother’s straightforward and direct nature, never bothering with people he didn’t get along with.

Jin Yutang seemed unconcerned with Song Muyang’s apparent dislike, he smiled and said, "Old Song, I came all the way to Taiwei and you didn’t even invite me for a meal, that’s not right."

"There’s nothing to say to you."

Song Muyang said directly, "If you have something to say, say it quickly, don’t waste everyone’s time."

"Your bad temper is really annoying, no wonder my sister doesn’t care for you."

Jin Yutang teased, only then did he turn his gaze to Gao Xuan. Although reluctant, he had to admit that Gao Xuan was much more handsome than him, even with his eyes closed.

Both parties possessed exceptional grace, yet Gao Xuan shone like a star, radiating brilliance, leaving anyone nearby overshadowed.

Even someone as strong as Song Muyang seemed like a mere passerby sitting next to Gao Xuan.

With just a glance, Jin Yutang recognized Gao Xuan, and felt a strong surge of jealousy from deep within. In this Star River, no other man should be more handsome than him.

Jin Yutang hadn’t expected to encounter Gao Xuan here, and though malicious thoughts churned within him, his face blossomed with a brighter and cleaner smile. He said to Gao Xuan, "Are you Gao Xuan? Indeed, you have quite the face."

Gao Xuan felt like sighing; this guy probably came by accident, yet they still crossed paths.

Through the Six-winged Celestial Cicada’s connection to the Dark Web, Gao Xuan already knew his identity was Jin Yutang.

The Jin Family of the Thousand Mechanism Star Realm was also one of the Twelve Golden Bloodlines.

In both his past and present life, he had no connections with the Jin Family.

Could the other party be here causing trouble out of jealousy over his looks?

Gao Xuan thought this was quite possible. Of course, the more significant reason might be the tall man with blond hair and black eyes beside him.

This man was handsome, yet his large bones and overly deep facial lines gave his entire presence an intense rigidity.

His black eyes were deeply profound, as if hiding a bottomless abyss.

Gao Xuan didn’t need the Six-winged Celestial Cicada to recognize him: Hodder, Talos’ younger brother.

Word had it that Hodder was seeking revenge against Gao Xuan. Although he wasn’t too concerned, he had still looked into Hodder’s background.

This direct descendant of the Odin Family was said to be far more gifted than Talos, already nearing the Golden Sword Saint level at such a young age.

In the Ten Thousand Spirits Star Realm, everyone had high hopes for Hodder’s future. The Odin Family even had great expectations for Hodder, hoping he could restore their family’s prestige. Hodder was attending Qianji University.

Because of Hodder, this chance meeting might turn into trouble.

While Gao Xuan could observe Hodder, Hodder had no idea what Gao Xuan was thinking or observing.

No matter the level of humanity, they are accustomed to using eyes to observe the world and to express their emotions and thoughts.

Encountering someone with closed eyes, everyone would feel very uneasy.

Jin Yutang, receiving no response, said somewhat displeased, "You’re a bit impolite. Didn’t you hear me speaking to you?"

This tone was rather harsh, entirely condescending.

Song Yunxi couldn’t help but feel a sense of disgust, thinking this Jin Family genius was truly arrogant and rude. He seemed free-spirited but was actually narrow-minded and lacked magnanimity.

In this aspect alone, he fell far short of Gao Xuan. Not to mention the gap in appearance between them.

Song Yunxi leaned towards Gao Xuan but felt it was inappropriate to speak on his behalf. After all, Jin Yutang had come to find Gao Xuan, and she shouldn’t arbitrarily intervene. They were not yet close enough for that.

Gao Xuan said, "I heard your words. Sorry, I cannot compliment you in such a manner."

"You do have a sharp tongue."

Jin Yutang let out a cold laugh, "Don’t think just because Old Song is here, I won’t dare to move against you."

By nature, he was arrogant; having determined Gao Xuan was his enemy, he no longer showed politeness in his words.

Song Muyang was annoyed. He slammed his cup down hard: "What do you mean, are you here to mess with us? Don’t think because you’re Jin Yuting’s brother I won’t handle you."

Song Muyang already held a low opinion of Jin Yutang, and with his audacity in front of him, he could barely restrain himself.

He simply mimicked Jin Yutang’s tone to retort back at him.

Jin Yutang’s face turned a bit grim, he hadn’t anticipated that Song Muyang would publicly embarrass him for Gao Xuan.

He looked at Song Muyang, "You want to protect this kid, are you serious?"

"Gao Xuan is my guest and my friend."

Song Muyang said coldly, "Whatever you want to do to him, you’ll have to get through me first."

Song Muyang’s firm attitude made Jin Yutang somewhat doubtful; his gaze flickered between Song Muyang and Gao Xuan, "Old Song, after my sister rejected you, did you turn to men?"

The words were insidiously malicious, leaving Song Muyang truly displeased: "Kid, whether I like women or not, your sister knows very well. It’s none of your goddamned business. If you keep spewing that yin-yang nonsense, I might just smack you."

Song Muyang, who had always had a fiery temperament, showed a fierce expression; the imposing presence of a Golden Sword Saint immediately enveloped the entire area.

The overwhelming, dominating Sword Intent locked onto Jin Yutang, Hodder, and their entourage.

Though both Jin Yutang and Hodder possessed deep cultivation, they simultaneously took a step back, managing to withstand Song Muyang’s Sword Intent securely.

As for their followers, they were far less capable, being immediately pressed to the ground by the Sword Intent, their limbs even contorted upwards like a few frogs about to be crushed.

Jin Yutang’s face flushed red with anger, yet the enormous disparity with Song Muyang held him under oppressive Sword Intent, leaving him unable to voice his rage.

Hodder’s hands also slightly trembled, as he had exerted all his strength.

Though very close to the Golden Level, they were significantly different from an actual Golden Sword Saint.

Even though Song Muyang was somewhat angry, he wouldn’t truly harm them. After all, they were from the Jin Family, with Jin Yuting in consideration. Just giving them a lesson would suffice.

As he was about to withdraw his force, he suddenly felt a premonition.

Then, in a flash of lightning within the void, an elderly man with white hair emerged. He wore a long grey robe, with all his white hair tied with a jade crown. His dignified appearance radiated with flickering blue electric light in his eyes.

The white-haired elder materialized from the void, unleashing a mighty and grand Sword Intent akin to the Celestial River, which enveloped Song Muyang, Song Yunxi, Gao Xuan, and Miao Xifeng.

The endless and vast Sword Intent targeted everyone’s Divine Souls, its majestic momentum seemingly possessing the power to sweep through everything.
