The Heavenly Saber Novel - Chapter 004

Chapter 004 The Heavenly Saber Is Spirit
After leaving the Heavenly Saber Tribe, Li Qing fled all the way to the depths of the Lianyun Mountain Range. He felt his body becoming weaker and weaker, his footsteps becoming heavier and heavier. If it weren’t for his strong will, he would have fallen long ago.

After running for an unknown amount of time and climbing countless mountains, he finally couldn’t hold on any longer. He fell into the bushes and fainted.

The sky gradually darkened and night fell.

There was no moon in the sky, and the jungle was pitch black. The roars of the wild beasts in the mountains rose and fell one after another. The Heavenly Saber emitted a faint purple light that enveloped Li Qing’s body. In the depths of the jungle, pairs of bloodthirsty eyes appeared. They looked at the purple light with fear, seemingly hesitating for a while, but in the end, they all chose to retreat.

The dangerous night finally passed in a calm manner. The sun rose and shone on Li Qing’s face. He opened his eyes in confusion and looked around.

He was lying in a bush surrounded by dense jungle. Beside him was the Heavenly Saber, like a faithful guard.

His confused eyes gradually became focused. Recalling what had happened yesterday, he couldn’t help but feel as if he had lived another life.

‘”Ah…” How he wished it was just a dream.

In a single night, he had lost everything, and he had even killed so many people. From now on, the Heavenly Saber Tribe would not be able to return. Perhaps the clansmen had already treated him as a devil. He remembered the crazy killing intent in his heart yesterday and couldn’t help but feel a little afraid. If it weren’t for his weak body, he would have raised his butcher’s knife towards his clansmen. In that case, he would become a murderous maniac. This was definitely not what he wanted in his heart.

“The world is so big, where should I go?” He was a little confused.

From now on, he was alone, without his parents, without his family, betrayed his tribe, and had nowhere to go. Only this Heavenly Saber remained by his side. It will be his closest companion in the future.

He gently pulled out his Heavenly Saber and felt the familiar aura coming from it. He stared deeply at it for a while and muttered, “From now on, we will be dependent on each other for life and death.”

Just as he finished speaking, Heavenly Saber suddenly buzzed, startling him and almost throwing it out.

“Eh, this is …”

He could feel the invisible vibration coming into his mind. He felt something mysterious and indescribable–something that seemed to be an idea.

He carefully felt it for a while, and then instantly understood the meaning of this thought. It pointed towards the depths of the Lianyun Mountain Range, where there seemed to be something he longed for.

“Is this the Spirit of the Heavenly Saber?” He was a little shocked. If I had known that this saber was extraordinary, I would not have thought that it would be able to convey my thoughts as if it had intelligence.

Is there really a devil god monster in this world?

Perhaps he could follow its instructions and make a trip there? In any case, he was homeless now, so it would be better for him to venture into that unknown place. Li Qing couldn’t help but feel a little moved. That was the depths of the Lianyun Mountain Range! Legend has it that there is an Immortal Mountain there. If you can see it, it would not be in vain.

“It’s just… I heard that the mountain range is very dangerous.” He hesitated. However, he glanced at the Heavenly Saber and immediately became confident, “With this saber in hand, is there any need to be afraid of that little danger?”

He made up his mind and wanted to stand up, but he suddenly felt powerless. He staggered for a while and almost fell down.

“I didn’t expect the aftereffects to be so great!” He couldn’t help but smile bitterly. The saber strike from last night was indeed powerful, but it had overdrawn his own physical strength. In his current state, if he didn’t think of a way, it would probably be troublesome for him to survive.

“Fortunately, I didn’t encounter any danger last night!” He couldn’t help but break out in cold sweat. However, he didn’t know that if it wasn’t for the deterrence of the Heavenly Saber aura that kept the beasts from approaching him last night, he would have been eaten to the point where nothing was left.

He had grown up in the mountains and forests since he was young, and he had rich experience of living in the wild. He first found a few wild fruits to satisfy his hunger, then found a small stream, took a bath, and washed away all the blood stains on his body. He finally felt a little more energetic.

He picked up the Heavenly Saber and suddenly thought of a question. He couldn’t help but frown. If he had to overdraw his body every time he used the Heavenly Saber and become extremely weak, wouldn’t that be very dangerous?

Try it!

He gently waved his saber, but nothing happened. He was somewhat puzzled in his heart. He found a tree and gently slashed it. The tree was instantly cut apart, but it did not overdraw its strength.

He found another boulder to test it. With a gentle slash, the boulder was easily cut in half like tofu, and there was no overdraft.

This saber looked very blunt, but in reality, it was invincible. It was truly a divine weapon. However, these few experiments did not reach the power of killing a large number of people with just a single slash yesterday.

He remembered that when he was angry, he used all of his strength, as if seeing the world being cut in half, but now he no longer felt this way.

Looks like this is the crux of the problem. Yesterday, he must have stimulated some sort of power in this saber, so he was able to possess that kind of power. However, the price was very high. However, such a thing would not happen when it was normally used.

Could it be that this saber was intelligent and would change according to the situation of its owner? If that was the case, then this saber would be too miraculous.

After figuring this out, he felt relieved. The top priority was to fill up the stomach first and make up for yesterday’s deficit. However, this matter was not difficult for him. The mountains were filled with birds and beasts. He casually spun around and caught a few wild animals. He lit a fire and roasted them.

After filling his stomach, he lay on the grass and rested for another half a day, finally recovering his strength.

After recovering his vitality, he picked up his Heavenly Saber and packed his things. He was determined to walk towards the center of the Lianyun Mountain Range. Then, he strode in that direction and gradually disappeared into the depths of the forest.

…

After Li Qing walked in for a day, the place he saw was already a primeval forest that was inaccessible to humans. The further they went, the taller and thicker the trees became. Ancient trees towering, covering the sky, dark and deep.

This was already the inner circle of the Lianyun Mountain Range. Very few warriors from the tribe came here because this place was too dangerous. If they were not careful, they might encounter demonic beasts.

Demonic beasts were strong and weak. If they encountered powerful demonic beasts, they would definitely die.

Li Qing’s heart was a little uneasy. This was the first time he had come to such a place. He felt very uncomfortable and couldn’t help but feel a little retreat.

“It’s only been a day since we left. We’re still far from the center of the mountain range. How can we just retreat like this?” He mustered up his courage and decided to continue walking.

After walking a bit further, through this dense forest, the trees gradually thinned out, the rocks gradually protruding, the terrain opened up, and the scene before his eyes suddenly became clear. The uneasiness in Li Qing’s heart gradually dissipated.

“Eh, what is that?”

He saw a row of shallow craters on the road ahead, extending into the distance, so he approached and looked. His eyes couldn’t help but shrink, and he was somewhat shocked-it was actually a row of huge footprints!

What big footprints! He took a deep breath. These footprints were in the shape of hooves, more than ten times larger than the footprints of ordinary wild beasts. This should be the footprints of demonic beasts, right?

I didn’t expect to encounter a demonic beast so soon! He couldn’t help but look around, his heart trembling. There shouldn’t be demonic beasts hiding in the surroundings, right? Ever since he was young, he had never seen a demonic beast. If he accidentally encountered one, what should he do?

After all, he was only a young man, and he had never experienced such a thing before. It was normal for him to be a little flustered. However, he quickly adjusted and took a deep breath to calm himself down.

“These footprints should have been left not too long ago. It means that this demonic beast may pass by here frequently. Why don’t I hide nearby and see what this demonic beast looks like? At least I have some confidence in my heart.”

He decided to do so, so he hid a hidden boulder nearby and waited quietly. Time slowly passed in peace, and it was unknown how long it had been.

Finally, a huge figure appeared in the distance. This was a monster that resembled a wild boar. However, its size was several times larger than that of an ordinary wild boar. It was simply a mountain of flesh, with green faces and fangs, a pair of horns on its head, and black scales on its back. It did not look clumsy at all. Instead, it gave off a very strong feeling.

It was walking so slowly, without any precautions. With each step, the earth seemed to tremble, leaving behind a shallow pit.

Li Qing watched as the giant beast slowly passed by. He didn’t dare to move and broke out in cold sweat. Facing such a huge demonic beast, how could one not be frightened?

He gripped the Heavenly Saber tightly in his hand and felt the chill coming from it. He slowly calmed down.

“Is it possible to kill this demonic beast?” He suddenly had a crazy idea in his heart.

He thought to himself, “Without the Heavenly Saber, this kind of behavior would be no different from courting death. However, with such a divine weapon, perhaps … I can give it a try if I have the chance!” However, this demonic beast’s size was too large. Unless it hacked at its fatal point, it would be very difficult to kill it. Moreover, if he was accidentally hit by such a huge monster, how could his small body withstand it? It’s too dangerous… ”

For the next few days, this thought lingered in his mind. While observing the demonic beast’s habits and habits, he thought about the feasibility of this idea.

“If you have the chance, you can still give it a try. If you really can’t, you can only give up. Don’t be impulsive.” He secretly warned himself in his heart.

This demonic beast had to pass through this path every day, without the slightest sense of precaution. After investigating for several days, Li Qing finally understood that this was its territory. There was only this demonic beast nearby, so it lived a relatively moist life.

Therefore, Li Qing observed for several days without being discovered by it. Its alertness was too low!

After studying for a few days, he understood the demonic beast’s habits. Finally, he couldn’t restrain his thoughts and made up his mind to kill it.

The Heavenly Saber also buzzed, as if it was responding. Li Qing understood what it meant. This was excitement, and … bloodthirst!
