The Spear Knights of Nirwana

Drunken God Swordsman

***

The journey to go to the Golden Lion College takes 3 days if on foot, but if by horseback, it will take one and a half days unless you use the Science of lightening the body, it'll get faster until it.

Zang Yang and his two disciples Liu She Gwo and Wong Chin each rode on a horse except Tian Feng, riding on a horse mounted by Zang Yang.

On the way, Tian Feng did not speak at all, whereas if a child of his age would be very chatty and would ask a lot.

"Young Master Yuan! Is Young Master hungry? asked Zang Yang while Tian Feng just nodded slowly without making a sound.

"In the meantime, we'll stop by for a meal at the store up front!" zang Yang said then he sped up the pace of his horse.

They were still in the Xanhuo City Region, so there were still some buildings in sight, but that region was a suburban area, instead, because after that they will come out of Xanhuo City and will enter the small forest.

Zang Yang immediately got off and then helped Tian Feng to get off his white horse and then tied his horse rope to the place he had provided.

"Welcome gentlemen, let's please come in!" said a servant who greeted them with a warm smile.

Zang Yang and his two disciples as well as Tian Feng immediately entered and sat down on the empty seat with a single four-sided table.

"Gentlemen want to order what food?" ask the waiter who greeted them.

"We all ordered rice with non-spicy vegetables, added more with grilled meat and all for four people!" said Zang Yang.

"There's another one, sir? Maybe you'd like to order a drink or some wine and a little snack?" ask the waiter again.

Zang Yang swallowed his saliva, he wanted to order wine, yet he was currently with Tian Feng. Zang Yang felt bad if he drank wine in front of a small child.

Zang Yang did not know if in fact Tian Feng had also restrained himself by swallowing his own saliva as the servant offered arak.

"Bring us some warm tea with a little snack!" said Zang Yang while looking at Liu She Gwo and Wong Chin who actually wanted to order wine, but Zang Yang gave the code to be patient so that the two of them could only swallow their own saliva.

Liu She Gwo and Wong Chin were two students from the Golden Lion college, and they were both 21 years old, and they were both at the Middle Swordsman level.

The servant immediately left Zang Yang to prepare their order.

"The store is not too crowded!" said Wong Chin.

"Truely, when we stopped here yesterday, the atmosphere was a bit crowded, but now it was a bit quiet!" Liu She Gwo also spoke

"Where the name of the trade is not always crowded, sometimes it must also be empty of visitors!" said Zang Yang.

Tian Feng only listened to the chatter of the three of them, he had absolutely no interest in speaking, moreover with his body being trapped into a child.

"This is Mr. His order of Warm Tea and Snacks, please enjoy it first while waiting for the main meal to come!" said the waiter and put down four cups of tea and some light snacks.

"Thank you Miss!" zang Yang said then he started eating some light Snacks.

Tian Feng also ate some Snacks that were before him, then drank a mouthful of warm Tea.

While still waiting for the main order to come, a fat old man and a distended stomach holding a drink jar in his hand entered the Shop.

The old man approached the cashier, and politely asked to buy wine and hand over the medium-sized urn to the waiter.

"Miss, I want to buy wine, please stuff it in this jar!" said the Old Man.

Zang Yang initially noticed the old man, feeling that he did not recognize the man, Zang Yang refocused on enjoying his snacks.

Not long after their main order came, they all ate immediately, whereas Tian Feng ate the rice slowly.

"Young Master, eat a lot because soon we will enter the small forest, if we can quickly, then we will be able to reach the village of Louyan and can eat and stay there, he said, if not, we'll stay in the woods!" said Liu She Gwo reminding Tian Feng to eat a lot.

Zang Yang only turned his head for a moment and then returned to eating quietly. However, while enjoying his meal, the Old Man's voice was heard, but the Old Man did not speak to the servant, but spoke to Tian Feng.

"Little boy! Are you really a child as you look?" asked the man by standing next to Tian Feng in a half-drunk condition.

Zang Yang and the two disciples were surprised to not know that the old man was already beside Tian Feng.

Likewise with Tian Feng, he immediately turned his head towards the old man and the extremely pungent smell of alcohol was smelled by Tian Feng.

Zang Yang immediately realized that the old man was not an ordinary person, even though he was in an unstable standing state, in fact the Old Man could not be known when he walked towards Tian Feng.

"Sorry Grandfather, he is indeed a child, and this child is my disciple!" Zang Yang answered.

Tian Feng tried to contain his shock, indirectly the drunk old man was like knowing of his shrinking self.

Tian Feng immediately came down and saluted the Old Man as well as spoke to him.

"Honorate Salute to the Keys! My name is Tian Feng!" said Tian Feng trying to speak as amicably as possible.

Tian Feng breathed a sigh of relief because the Old Man did not suspect him at all.

"Forgot me that little demon, just continue with your food!" said the Old Man then he walked out the door.

"The old man is so weird!" said Wong Chin.

"Does the teacher recognize him?" Liu She Gwo asked Zang Yang, while Zang Yang only shook his head in an omen that did not recognize the old man.

"Hurry and finish your food and we'll leave soon so that we don't stay in the woods!" said Zang Yang.

The four of them went back to eating them so that they could leave soon because of their long journey.

***

"We will soon pass through the forest, remember to always be vigilant!" said Zang Yang.

If he had not brought Tian Feng, perhaps he would not have told Liu She Gwo and Wong Chin that way.

The forest that will be passed by them is not too big, but in the forest there are often other divisions and attacks.

They immediately entered the forest, the sound of birds chirping and other animals immediately called their journey.

For a while there was no obstacle so that they could continue the journey without any interference from anyone.

But as their journey deepened into the forest, there was the sound of a fight not far from where they were.

"Teacher..!?" Wong Chin turned his head towards Zang Yang.

"Stay together!" zang Yang said then they walked towards the source of the sound.

After arriving there, it turned out that there were two people fighting, and there were two more people lying on the ground, the condition of the two people looked very critical.

That was not what made their eyes widen, but that person who was fighting, that was, a man wearing a short-sleeved shirt and holding a sword similar to the sword usually held by the Knights of the Toakai Country, was fighting with an old man who had met with Zang Yang's entourage at the food stall.

"He was a begal who often operated around this forest, but why did it have a Knight Sword from the Toakai State?" ask Liu She Gwo.

"Maybe he had time to rob the merchants from the Toakai, and maybe he took his sword!" answer Wong Chin.

Zang Yang and Tian Feng did not pay attention to the person using the sword, they were both more attracted to the old man who was his opponent.

Although not using any weapons, but the old man was very good at avoiding attacks while giving counterattacks with unclear blows.

"This is the Drunk God Style!" inner Tian Feng so was Zang Yang.

The old man did indeed look drunk and his movements were very irregular and also difficult to guess, sometimes the man fell himself and then got up by himself in a staggering condition.

"So that old man is Drunk God Mao Lao!" muttered Zang Yang.

"Old grandfather stinks of soil! I won't let you live!" said begal that his appearance is already messy.

"What..! I can't hear your voice, speak any louder young man!" mao Lao said as he hiccupped and his body was always on the verge of falling, yet still did not fall as well.

The Begal fighter wanted to curse, he realized that Mao Lao was deliberately playing him.

"I'll give you back someday!" the Begal warrior said then he left his two injured colleagues.

"Young man, why are you running? Come play with me again!" said Mao Lao.

After the Begal chairman disappeared, it turned out that Mao Lao could stand normally like he was not drunk at all.

"Do you just want to see me or do you want to help me tie these two people together!" Said Mao Lao.

Zang Yang and all of them immediately approached Mao Lao, who knew the identity of Mao Lao only Zang Yang and Tian Feng only, while Liu She Gwo and Wong Chin did not recognize him at all.

"Pardon us in advance for not recognizing Senior Mao, my name is Zang Yang from the Golden Lion, and these are the students from our college," Zang Yang said.

"Zang Yang from Golden Lion College! Then you must be a disciple of the Gold-Taring Chang Shan," said Mao Lao.

"Absolutely Senior, Chang Shan's teacher is the teacher and leader of our college" said Zang Yang.

Liu She Gwo and Wong Chin tied the two warriors who were already severely injured, but they would not die because Mao Lao had already given him the pills to lighten the deep wounds.

In the Wu Kingdom there are 10 warriors who have very high martial arts, but of the ten warriors there were five who were crowned as the top greatest swordsman and the Swordsman of the Drunk God was one of the Five Highest Swordsman.

The age of Mao Lao was actually very old, probably almost as old as the first Master of Tian Feng.

It is very difficult to meet with Mao Lao, he often moved around so that only the lucky ones could meet Mao Lao.
