The Heavenly Saber Novel - Chapter 003

Chapter 003 Ancestral Temple’s Shang
“This is simply a lunatic!”

The four Diamonds were filled with regret. If they had known earlier, they would not have provoked this madman. Who would have thought that he would actually dare to do such an extreme thing!

None of them had weapons and were bare-handed. Seeing Li Qing rushing over with his precious saber, they didn’t dare to lightly resist his attack and retreated.

Li Qing waved his saber light so tightly that it could not penetrate the air, forcing the four of them to retreat. Looking around, he saw that the formation of the four of them was not in disarray at all. They cooperated tacitly and still surrounded him in the middle, waiting for an opportunity to move. He thought in his heart, “It’s only a waste of effort to go down, but it’s better to fight for one more person to be killed!”

Thus, he saw the lone person and suddenly exploded. He crossed a distance of several meters and slashed out with a saber as fast as lightning.

“So fast!” That person revealed a surprised expression, but his reaction wasn’t slow at all. He gently dodged to one side. Li Qing bullied his body and instantly slashed out several times, turning into a net of heaven and earth. However, that person was extremely agile, and in the blink of an eye, he had easily dodged all the saber lights!

These few slashes actually missed the other party’s clothes!

“Even with the treasured saber in hand, is the gap still this big?” Li Qing sighed, feeling very disappointed in his heart. As expected of a warrior who had experienced hundreds of battles! With his strength, in a face-to-face battle, he really didn’t have a chance at all.

This person seemed to be forced to retreat in a sorry state and was in danger, but Li Qing had almost failed. Because there’s more than one enemy. They won’t give him another chance.

Sure enough, it was faster than expected. The three people behind him had already attacked and punched out one after another. A terrifying force struck the undefended Li Qing’s back.

They used all of their strength to attack, directly knocking Li Qing flying out and falling to the ground. He felt a burst of intense pain, blood surging in his chest, and then he spat out a mouthful of blood.

He clenched his saber tightly in his hand and clenched his teeth in an attempt to get up, but he was no longer able to fight, so he could only fall unwillingly.

“I failed. Is it finally going to end?” He smiled bitterly in his heart and fainted.

…

The next day, in front of the ancestral temple.

Only a few days had passed since the day of sacrifice, and this place was filled with people. They discussed one after another, pointing at the people on the stage.

The person on the stage was naturally Li Qing. He was tied to a wooden rack and was covered in bruises. Obviously, he had suffered a lot. He slowly opened his eyes and looked at the crowd below with an indifferent expression. A few days ago, he was also on this stage, accepting the discussions of the crowd, his heart filled with indignation. But this time, he was no longer shocked.

Today, he will be burned alive in front of the ancestral temple. In the face of life and death, what was there to look down on?

Beside him was the Heavenly Saber, standing motionlessly, witnessing one person after another, one thing after another. I wonder if this knife will be lonely?

He saw his mother below the stage and couldn’t help but feel a pain in his heart when he saw her tearing up. In this world, the only thing he couldn’t bear to part with was his mother. He had wasted his life as a son of man and could not serve her right and left, causing her white-haired man to send the black-haired man away. He felt extremely guilty in his heart. However, what could he do now that the matter had reached this point? If nothing unexpected happened, he would definitely die today.

At this moment of life and death, he suddenly felt a little regret in his heart. This was not because he was afraid of death. He had already expected such a result before he did it. He was worried about his mother! He was dead, of course, but the one suffering was his mother. What should she do with her life in the future?

Perhaps it was just the pain of relatives. In this world, so many people chose to endure and humiliate. It was not because they were weak, but because they had too many fetters in their hearts.

The Patriarch’s expression was grieving, and his face was a lot haggard. When he heard the news of Zarro’s death yesterday, he thought he was joking, but the bloody fact completely knocked him down. In a single night, his hair had turned a lot grey.

He forced himself to maintain his prestige and walked onto the stage. He looked at Li Qing with resentment and accused him of his crime, “My son Zarro, what a righteous and courageous person!” But yesterday, in the back mountain, because of some conflict with Li Qing, the son of the sinner, he actually sneak attacked and killed him. How could such a vicious person remain in the world and harm the clansmen? Today, I will burn this monster to death in front of this ancestral temple to avenge my son! ”

“Kill him! Kill him!”

Everyone was furious and shouted. Li Qing looked down at the crowd on the stage with an unruly expression on his face. How could he be afraid of death!

“Don’t kill my son!” A heart-wrenching voice finally rang out. Li Qing’s mother ran onto the stage and knelt on the ground. She cried loudly to everyone, “Please! He is still a child…”

“Mother!” Li Qing hurriedly shouted and couldn’t help but shed tears. He really didn’t want to see his mother suffer anymore.

The scene suddenly quieted down. Everyone quietly looked at the woman’s pleading with complicated eyes. For her son, she must be willing to give up everything, including her dignity and life.

She cried and kowtowed, “Please! For the sake of Yuan Long’s sacrifice for the tribe, spare him.”

The patriarch said coldly, “I forgive him. Who will forgive my son? Does my son deserve to die? It is only natural that no one will save him today! Li Yuanlong is a sinner of the tribe, and his son is also a violent person. This family should never have appeared in the world!”

Hearing this, Li Qing’s mother suddenly raised her head and looked at the patriarch with red eyes. She said hatefully, “The humiliation was only to gain an inch. Ten years ago, you killed Yuan Long, and today, you want to kill my son. Do you really want to kill him all?”

“You… What nonsense are you talking about?” The patriarch stammered, “Who killed Li Yuanlong?”

‘”Haha…” She laughed while crying, “You can deceive the world, can you deceive me? That demonic beast was lured over by you and then framed the Primordial Dragon! The people who testified at that time were all your subordinates! The rest were all deceived by you!”

“What …” Everyone below the stage was dumbfounded!

I didn’t expect that she would remind me of the past and unexpectedly burst out with such ferocious news. Someone carefully recalled that it seemed that the witnesses at that time were all the subordinates of the Patriarch, and even the Patriarch himself had come out to testify! Apart from that, there was no more definitive evidence.

Could it be… Is what she said true? Some people couldn’t help but waver. The crowd started to stir.

Li Qing’s mother continued to slowly say, “Back then, Yuan Long once told me that you found a hundred-year-old Blood Yuan Fruit in the mountain range, but with a powerful demonic beast protecting you, you wanted Yuan Long to retrieve it, but he refused because that demonic beast was too powerful. I didn’t expect that a few days later, the demonic beast would attack the tribe…”

“Shut up!” The Patriarch couldn’t help but look ferocious and terrifying. He suddenly rushed towards Li Qing’s mother and struck her in the chest with his palm.

How could a weak woman withstand such an attack? She was directly sent flying and fell onto the huge rock in front of the ancestral temple with the Heavenly Saber stabbed into it.

“Mother!” Li Qing’s eyes split open, his hair pointing upwards, and he shouted crazily, “Old man, if you have the ability, come at me!”

Everyone was in an uproar, discussing in succession. Seeing this scene, even the stupidest of people had some bad guesses in their hearts.

Li Qing’s mother fell on the boulder and spat out a mouthful of blood. She dyed the Heavenly Saber red and looked extremely tragic.

There seemed to be a flash of purple light on the Heavenly Saber. She felt something in her heart. She turned around and took a look, only to see that the blood on the blade was quietly decreasing. She was shocked and muttered to herself in a daze, “What’s going on … Could it be that the Heavenly Saber really works?”

She seemed to have sensed Heavenly Saber’s call. This was … a bloodthirsty desire!

Inside the Heavenly Saber, there seemed to be a soul that had been asleep for too long. In the moment when it seemed to be awake or not, it was only the last bit of blood and soul nourishment that was needed before it could completely awaken!

She understood and instantly made up her mind. Turning around, she gently looked at Li Qing and said, “Son, you have to live well!”

Li Qing suddenly had a bad feeling.

“Heavenly Saber, Heavenly Saber, I respect and love you. If you really have a spirit, please save my son. I am willing to sacrifice my blood as sacrifice. Three lives, seven lives, and no regrets!”

With that, he stretched out his wrist and slashed towards the blade, causing fresh blood to gush out. The Heavenly Saber seemed to have come back to life, transforming into a Heaven Swallowing Beast that instantly absorbed the blood. It didn’t seem to be satisfied. It greedily drew out fresh blood. The blood flowing out of its wrist became faster and faster. In the end, it turned into a torrent and poured into the Heavenly Saber.

The Heavenly Saber gradually emitted a purple light, becoming more and more vigorous. It was as if an ancient soul was gradually awakening, and a terrifying aura was suppressing the heavens and earth.

Unexpectedly, dark clouds were slowly gathering in the sky, and the heavens and earth seemed to have darkened.

“The Heavenly Saber has appeared!” Everyone present felt their souls tremble as they bowed to the ground.

“No–” Li Qing watched his mother cut her wrist and shouted anxiously. He struggled desperately, but was firmly trapped by the rope. His shouts seemed to be so powerless in front of the violet light that filled the sky.

Mother looked at Li Qing affectionately. Her blood gradually dried up, and her eyes gradually dimmed. Her hands fell weakly, and she finally closed her eyes. The purple light shone brightly, wrapping around her body and completely sucking into the Heavenly Saber.

It not only needed her blood, but also her body and soul! This strong woman completely dissipated from the world without leaving a trace. Her body had completely merged with the Heavenly Saber.

A deep purple light soared into the sky, and the dark clouds in the sky were dyed purple. The wind and clouds surged, turning into a huge purple vortex. The light shone for hundreds of kilometers, turning this world into a purple world.

Under the purple impact, the rope on Li Qing’s body had actually completely collapsed. He gained his freedom and immediately charged towards Heavenly Saber.

Purple light filled his eyes, and he was completely unable to see the world in front of him. He stretched out his hand and slowly searched for his mother’s body, but found nothing.

Too late!

He touched the hilt of the Heavenly Saber and a familiar aura came from his arm, like a warm embrace from his mother. He grasped the hilt of the knife and gently pulled it out.

With a “clang” sound, the Heavenly Saber responded.

The Heavenly Saber that no one had pulled out for hundreds of years had finally reappeared. Li Qing pulled it out without any effort!

The purple light in the world quickly receded like a tide. Everything returned to normal, and the sky returned to light, as if everything that had just happened was an illusion.

Everyone fell silent. Everyone slowly raised their heads and looked at the stage. They saw that Li Qing was holding the Heavenly Saber in his hand.

He was gently stroking the Heavenly Saber, feeling the familiar aura, muttering, “I will live well.”

The Heavenly Saber was more than a meter long, and its entire body was purple. Its body was simple and rough, as if it was a product of ancient times. The blade was very blunt, making people very doubtful whether they could cut anything.

Most importantly, it was a broken knife-no tip! Who was it that could cut the Heavenly Saber apart? Or could it be said that this saber only had a false reputation?

The Patriarch saw that the Heaven and Earth phenomenon had disappeared and shouted angrily, “Someone, go up and kill him!” At this point, he could no longer turn around. He had to kill Li Qing, seize the Heavenly Saber, and establish his authority. Fortunately, most of the warriors in the tribe were his subordinates and were loyal to him.

However, facing Sky Saber, his subordinates were filled with fear and didn’t dare to step forward.

“What are you afraid of? No matter how powerful you are, you are just a little kid. Are you still afraid that you won’t die if you rush forward?”

These warriors gritted their teeth and had no choice but to charge onto the stage, pull out their weapons, and slowly surround them.

Li Qing raised his head, his eyes bloodshot as he looked at these people with hatred. If it weren’t for these people, how could mother die?

These people all deserved to die!

“Go to hell!” He let out a loud roar and swept out with his saber. He suddenly felt a strange state. The world in front of him seemed to have turned into a still painting, which was easily split into two by the Heavenly Saber. The bodies of everyone in the painting, along with their weapons, were all sliced into two pieces!

The scene disappeared. Li Qing’s vision returned to normal. The scene in front of him had already turned into an Asura Ground. His broken limbs were everywhere, and blood flowed into rivers. Countless people were screaming miserably. Those who were still alive stretched out their blood hands and screamed miserably as they climbed out.

Everyone was frightened by this terrifying scene. Everyone below the stage screamed as they fled in all directions. The scene was extremely chaotic.

Li Qing did not expect that a single blade could kill a large number of people. Looking at the horrifying scene in front of him, not only did he not feel scared, he was extremely happy in his heart.

‘”Hahaha–” He laughed wildly, what a powerful force it was! With such power, did he need to be afraid of anything else? He could no longer suppress the killing intent in his heart. He wanted to kill everyone and bury his mother with him!

Just as he was about to brandish his saber again, he suddenly felt a wave of weakness coming from his body, almost making him unable to stand firmly.

This cleared his mind a little.

“What’s going on? It’s just a single saber strike, and you don’t have any strength left?” He was unwilling, but helpless. Powerful power would always come at a price, and it was impossible to use it without restrictions.

Li Qing hatefully glared at the fleeing Patriarch. He jumped back and disappeared into the endless forest in a few seconds.
