Blood Moon Hunters - Chapter 277

Chapter 277 Celebration

“Boom!”

The Broken Sword Mountain kept tumbling. The fissured rocks slowly rose, and then were disintegrated into broken bits by even more powerful forces.

“Enough. You can stop.” Zi Yuxiao transmitted her voice to him.

She only needed to see a little of his power to know his overall strength.

“Whoosh!”

The talismanic words in Wang Bugui’s eyes vanished. His golden pupils returned to normal. The aura and Tao principles surrounding him completely disappeared. At the same time, he was controlling the will of Taoism, repairing the Broken Sword Mountain.

“Swoosh!”

Countless fine rock particles appeared from nowhere, coalescing into its former state. Time seemed to be reversing, as they returned to their original positions and were being mended by a miraculous power.

“Wow! Awesome!” Misawa Chihiro gasped in astonishment.

She was like a little girl watching a magic trick. Her eyes glowed with curiosity as she blinked at her surroundings.

Soon, the surroundings returned to how they were. Although he could not guarantee there were no differences, the mountain was by and large the same. There were only minuscule flaws. After all, time had not really reversed. He did not have the ability to reverse time.

He merely returned the surroundings to its former state based on his memory. He tried his best to return them to how they were. Only Mending the Sky skill could reverse time.

He had not mastered that skill, so he could only create a similar samsara path of return using the same guidelines. But he needed to expend a lot of spiritual strength. Each time he did that, he would use up half his spiritual strength.

“Is this the samsara way?” The Blood Demon King opened his eyes wide.

This Tao Law would be amongst the most powerful no matter which era they were in. Samsara signified time, and the most powerful force in this world was time.

Other than those presences which existed alongside the heavens and the earth, every mortal who resisted the keen blade of time would perish slowly too.

“Looks like you will reach the second stage soon,” Zi Yuxiao suddenly said out of the blue.

Wang Bugui only gave a bland smile. “Sister Ziyu is great. I am indeed at the pinnacle of stage one. Soon, I will reach stage two.”

“You have suppressed your fruit of Taoism for too long. But it’s worth it.” The Blood Demon King smiled.

“In other words, Big Brother is reaching the Human Emperor realm soon?” Chu He wondered.

“There’s still a long way to go. I can only create Tao Laws after a complete integration in stage three,” Wang Bugui shook his head.

At this moment, Yu Wude came up and grinned. “That’s still very fast. If we had managed to find the tomb of immortals, hey, it would have been even faster!”

“Yes. Let’s have a nice gathering first, then go look for that tomb of immortals!” Wang Bugui smiled.

After that, he led the company out of the place. He made Zi Yuxiao bring them to a scenic location and then recalled Yun Jinghong and Leng Shuangrong. Of course, he did not forget the spiritual beasts.

By this lakeside full of strange flowers, they took out all the good wine they bought, as well as the glazed goblets from Yuxu Palace, filling them to the brim. They raised their goblets and toasted one another.

“Big Brother! I want Coke!” Lan Chuan grabbed Wang Bugui’s thigh and started yelling.

“I know you like Coke. So I bought you some, don’t worry!” Wang Bugui gently knocked its head with his knuckles.

He worked his magic and drew out many bottles of Coca-Cola from the small pendant. He gave them all to Lan Chuan.

“Haha! Come! Let’s drink from the bottle itself. Hey, I’m not scared of you guys!” Lan Chuan’s fluent Sichuan dialect made everyone laugh.

But Lyu Hao suddenly thought of something. He said embarrassedly, “Big… Big Brother, we have spent some 50 years inside. The expiry date of this Coca-Cola…”

Wang Bugui heard him and started. He turned his head back slowly like a robot to look at Lan Chuan.

“Plop! Gurgle, gurgle, gurgle!”

Lan Chuan had already unscrewed the bottle caps and started downing two bottles simultaneously. Soon, he finished both.

“Ah! Burp!”

It belched loudly, and then its bluish face started to flush. Everything in its eyes split into three. It saw stars spinning, as its head bloated.

“Are you alright?” Wang Bugui patted its face.

Lan Chuan shook its head vigorously, blinking its eyes. “Don’t worry! Everything’s fine! The Coke from this restaurant is strong!”

“Its aftereffects are strong compared to those I had before! It’s a 1982 vintage Coke!”

Its mind was gradually befuddled, but it still tried strenuously to fight drunkenness. Wang Bugui saw this and raised his brows. He also said in Sichuan dialect, “Sorry, pal. This is Coke from 1950.”

“What?!”

Lan Chuan immediately rose but its head had started to spin. It said in inebriation, “Old coz, this Coke is a vintage beverage. But I like it. It’s potent enough!”

After that, it opened another bottle of the “vintage Coke” and drank a few gulps. He pulled Wang Bugui and his friends in with a smile. “Come! I’m the most brutal spiritual beast in the world and I must drink the strongest Coke!”

“Such… expired beverage is worse than counterfeit wine,” Zhao Changge said embarrassedly.

“Don’t worry, it will only get drunk. The physique of a spiritual beast is no different from us practitioners’. It may even rival a practitioner at the same level,” Wang Bugui said helplessly.

Then he raised his goblet and invited everyone to toast. “Come, let’s drink up. This cup is for all to celebrate. We’ve finally emerged from our 50-year retreat! I must toast Master and Senior Leng as well!”

Everyone raised their cups and drank, toasting one another, imbibing this 50-year-old vintage wine. One has to admit that wine usually tastes much better after being aged.

“Ah! Haha, this wine from the mortal world tastes quite good after being aged!” Lyu Hao wiped his mouth.

“Yes. Have some spiritual fruit. Later, Senior Leng will serve us dishes he cooked himself. A real culinary delight!” Yun Jinghong smiled.

Then he gently beckoned and summoned a large stone table. A heap of spiritual fruit appeared on it. He waved his other hand and served Leng Shuangrong’s dishes, about a dozen of them.

“Wow!”

“I love it!”

The eyes of everyone were gleaming. They all swallowed mouthfuls of saliva. They had not had any food for 50 years and besides, these dishes were too tempting. Whether it was meat or vegetables, they were all sumptuous with outstanding flavor, color and aroma.

But someone must have noticed a hand secretly grabbing the food as they chatted and bantered. The food was then devoured. She showed a blissful face and continued pilfering the dishes.

Translucent like jade pearls, their aromas were fragrant and intoxicating. They could make someone hungry just by watching them. And their fragrance was enough to make the stomach growl.

“Yum, yum! Wonderful! Quite different from Big Brother’s, but equally tasty!”

As the company gasped, only now did they react. But Misawa Chihiro had already swept the two plates clean. She had not stopped eating the moment they were served. Now she was sighing, her face full of bliss.

In the end, while she was still in the same posture, Feng Tianming lifted her up. He said, “Don’t steal food.”

Then he wiped away traces of residual food on her lips. He smiled. “You’re eating so fast that your face will get dirty soon.”

“Sorry, haha.” Chihiro put her hands together and apologized.

“Never mind.”

Only now did Feng Tianming put her down. But as he surveyed the crowds around him, he started. They seemed to be rolling their eyes at him, full of teasing mockery.

“What’s wrong?” Feng Tianming asked.

“Lad, you’re showing your love before me!” Yu Wude smiled wickedly.

“Blockhead, you have offended us bachelors. Prepare to be stretchered back!” Lyu Hao pointed at him and chuckled.

“Enough words. Drown him in wine!” Zhao Changge rubbed his palms together.

“This isn’t true!” Feng Tianming immediately blushed.

But the Blood Demon King suddenly streaked out from behind him, and blocked his cultivation base with sorcery. Then he brought Yu Wude to control Feng Tianming. He laughed lightly. “Haha, what do you mortals call that?”

“Showing love!” Yu Wude said to complement him.

“Oh yes, showing love. I’m not used to it. Neither is our company. So I have to block your cultivation base today. Let’s get drunk together!” The Blood Demon King nodded.

“Brothers, come and drown him in wine!”

Wang Bugui also echoed their sentiments. After his order, everyone started to toast Feng Tianming. And Feng Tianming’s goblet had been specially made by Wang Bugui. It could hold as much wine as a big bowl.

Whenever a woman toasted him, he would need to drink many times as much. Later, even Misawa Chihiro was tricked into toasting him. He had to take 10 times the amount she drank!

When they had finished all the wine from the mortal world, they were served spiritual wine brewed by Leng Shuangrong and Yun Jinghong. It was so potent as to be shocking. Even sniffing it could intoxicate a man, let alone drinking it!

Although the swordsmen of Shushan could hold their liquor well thanks to their martial arts, even they could not withstand such terrible ordeals!

Soon, they had got Feng Tianming completely drunk. He felt as if he were floating in the air, even as he talked. But it was no different from the others. All their faces were flushed red and they were inebriated, yet they were still chatting and carousing.
