Chapter 945

"Tsk."

"Ah, why is the wine gone?" He then feigned annoyance and patted his head.

As he spoke, he cast a sidelong glance at Su Ming.

The meaning was very clear.

"My apologies, Senior Xiang, this junior did not bring wine up the mountain," Su Ming said with a slight curl of his lips.

Upon hearing this, Xiang Wuhui was extremely disappointed, his old face darkening.

"Forget it, forget it, perhaps it is all Heaven's will," he sighed, shaking his head and muttering to himself.

"When the time comes, I shall just let myself perish with the demon race while sober..."

But the very next moment, he saw with his own eyes as Su Ming produced two jars of ancient wine.

These two jars of sealed aged wine likely had an extremely long history.

The fermented aroma of the wine instantly permeated through the paper seals, filling the surroundings.

"This junior indeed did not bring wine; I only brought good wine up the mountain," Su Ming said with a faint smile as he handed a jar to Xiang Wuhui.

Xiang Wuhui feigned anger and tapped Su Ming's head with his wooden sword.

"You brat, you dare to tease me?"

But soon, his nose was uncontrollably leaning toward the wine jars.

His anger also vanished into thin air.

"Hmph, not just wine, but good wine."

"So arrogant, I must see what kind of fine brew this is."

He gave a cold laugh and used sword Qi to shatter the paper seal on the wine jar.

In an instant, the rich aroma of wine, aged for hundreds of years, exploded outward, permeating half of the martial arts arena.

The old Sword Venerable's gaze suddenly went blank for a moment.

"This..." He stared fixedly at the jar in his hand, leaned in abruptly, and took a deep breath of the wine's fragrance.

"This, this..."

"This is top-tier Daughter's Red!?"

His eyes turned red, as if he were deeply moved.

Su Ming nodded.

"Brat, where did you get this!!" he asked, looking sharply at Su Ming.

Upon hearing this, Su Ming's expression shifted slightly.

Naturally, he could not say that he had sublimated this from ordinary Daughter's Red himself.

"Cough, cough, I was lucky enough to find it in a secret realm," Su Ming bluffed casually.

Since the old senior loved wine, the least he could do was give him a jar of good wine to repay the favor of being taught the sword.

"Legend has it that in the entire mortal world, there is only one jar of this wine."

Xiang Wuhui stared at the aged wine in his hand, his expression excited.

"When I was young, I traveled the mortal world for ten years just to find a single sip, yet I could not fulfill my wish!"

Hearing this, Su Ming was slightly startled.

So... the swordsman mentioned in the wine's data who was willing to pay any price to taste this wine was Senior Xiang Wuhui!

Xiang Wuhui's eyes shone, and without a moment's hesitation, he took a large gulp.

"Hahaha, good, refreshing!"

He felt invigorated, the intoxication rising to his heart.

In an instant, he felt his sword technique realm had improved.

In Su Ming's mind, several large characters appeared.

【Hidden dungeon plot condition met】

Only this line appeared, with nothing more to follow.

He vaguely felt that the fate of this dungeon world had changed slightly...

If it weren't for Su Ming, this task would surely have been impossible for anyone else to complete.

Because in this Shushan world, there was only one jar of this top-tier Daughter's Red.

Getting the wine was already difficult enough.

To happen to give it to Senior Xiang Wuhui was an even smaller probability.

"Senior, drink slowly; this junior still has seven or eight jars here."

Su Ming simply took out all the wine!

Seeing the top-tier Daughter's Red covering the ground, Xiang Wuhui was struck as if by lightning!

"You..."

"You... you, you..."

Xiang Wuhui wanted to say something else, but he was far too busy.

He didn't even have time to be shocked.

He held a jar in his left hand and a jar in his right, and even used his spiritual energy to guide another jar to float over.

He channeled his spiritual energy, drawing the wine into trickling streams that flowed into his mouth.

He drank with relish, drinking joyfully, drinking crazily!

The old Sword Venerable seemed unable to get drunk; he drank while dancing with his sword, laughing foolishly.

He even felt that the shackles of his sword Dao realm, which had troubled him for years, were beginning to loosen!

Su Ming sat cross-legged to the side and took out the Lone Sword Technique skill book, beginning to break the final seal.

Entering the illusion, the aged swordsman figure appeared once more.

Su Ming gripped his sword and fought him.

The terrifying sword flow scattered like a phoenix, filling the heavens; the illusion was on the verge of collapsing.

Su Ming's current strength was truly too terrifying.

He was already able to activate his sword-controlling skills in this illusion without any loss, because he had reached the Heart Sword realm.

Finally, the last second arrived.

The pitch-black sword shadow, expressionless, unleashed the final, lethal strike!

Its posture was elusive, leaning back horizontally, its body fully extended, delivering a straight sword strike through the air.

The move had no surrounding sword Qi, yet it was faster than the eye could follow!

Su Ming took a deep breath, feeling incredibly tense.

Success or failure rested on this one move!

He stood motionless, condensing the Taiji Sword Intent from the Taiji Expansion Heart Art, which swirled around his blade!

But this time, the Taiji Sword Intent did not appear for defense or deflection, but for pure attack!

Su Ming pressed forward, delivering a sword strike of his own!

Puchi!

In the blink of an eye.

The shadow's blade pierced into Su Ming's chest.

But Su Ming's blade also pierced through its head.

Both sides suffered!

The remnant shadow gave a calm smile, let out an aged sigh, and finally dissipated from the mortal world.

"Hahaha..."

"Good."

The next instant, the illusion collapsed.

Su Ming came to his senses; the Lone Sword Technique skill book in his hand no longer had any seals.

He crushed it in his hand.

An ancient top-tier technique, long-lost for years, he had finally learned it!

Suddenly, the profound and mysterious sword technique essentials flooded into his mind.

Su Ming checked the skill's data.

【Lone Sword Technique (Ancient Top-Tier)】
