The Heavenly Saber Novel - Chapter 005

Chapter 005 Hunt Demonic Beasts
Li Qing leaned quietly in the bushes and remained motionless. He was dressed in a green grass robe, and his face and body were covered with dirt. Beside him were a few sharpened wooden sticks-spears he had made.

His spear throwing technique wasn’t very brilliant, but he was still able to use it. If he could, he would rather choose the bow and arrow. However, now that he was in the wilderness, it was impossible to find the bow and arrow.

His hand trembled slightly, but it was not fear, but nervousness. Now, he was no longer afraid, because he had been very familiar with that demonic beast for so many days. Actually, it was just a wild boar that had become a demon. Apart from its larger size, what was so special about it?

Facing unfamiliar things, people’s hearts would always be a little scared, but after getting familiar with them, they would discover that it was actually nothing more than that.

The earth trembled punctually. This was the demonic beast that was coming. It was going to pass through this path to search for food and water in the forest!

Li Qing watched it pass quietly and did not make a move, because the time had not yet come.

This demonic beast would go to a fixed pond to drink water every day, so Li Qing had already poisoned the pond in advance. He even beat a few wild beasts, poisoned them and put them there to lure them to eat. Of course, there was no poison in his hands, but in the forest, there was no shortage of poison. He was very familiar with the mountains and forests. As long as he spun around, he would be able to find several kinds of poisons.

He didn’t expect to be able to kill this demonic beast with this poison. After all, the demonic beast’s vitality was extremely powerful. However, as long as it could affect it, it would achieve the desired effect.

After passing through this place, the demonic beast regained its calm. Li Qing did not leave. He was still hiding quietly, patiently waiting for the demonic beast to return.

After an unknown amount of time, the earth trembled again. Li Qing’s spirits lifted. This demonic beast had finally returned. It was time to attack!

His expression became very serious as he stared in that direction. Very quickly, a huge figure appeared. The demonic beast’s expression was somewhat dispirited, and it was not concentrated. It was clear that the poison had worked, successfully affecting it. The first part of the plan had taken effect!

Li Qing moved. He slowly picked up a sharpened wooden stick and aimed it at the giant beast’s eyes. Purple light flowed around his body and his flesh swelled. He stored up all his strength and threw it!

With a “whoosh” sound, this wooden stick shot towards the demonic beast’s eyes like lightning!

This demonic beast originally did not have any vigilance, but now, its spirit was dispirited, and its attention was even more distracted. It simply did not notice the spear flying from afar. By the time it noticed, it was too late, unable to react at all, and the spear had already accurately shot into its eyes!

He was hit!

Li Qing felt relieved. The second part of the plan succeeded. This demonic beast’s eyes were extremely large, like lanterns. It could easily hit. This was also the reason why he dared to aim at the eyes. He was afraid that this demonic beast would react in advance and dodge this flying spear. From the looks of it, nothing unexpected had happened.

This demonic beast was shot in the eye and screamed miserably. Blood flowed like water, but it still didn’t die! Then it spotted the enemy and rushed towards this person crazily. Its enormous body was like a mountain of flesh, rushing over unstoppably. If it was hit, there was absolutely no chance of surviving.

Halfway through, the ground suddenly caved in! A huge pit appeared, and it directly fell into the pit. With a loud rumble, the earth seemed to have collapsed.

Traps were the best way to deal with prey! Li Qing had spent a lot of effort to dig this deep pit. Fortunately, his strength was enormous and his physique was outstanding, allowing him to complete this arduous task.

All of this was worth it, because this deep pit blocked the most terrifying collision of the demonic beast and successfully trapped it.

This pit was very large and deep. It was customized according to the size of the demonic beast. The wild boar jumped a few times but was unable to jump out. It began to frantically hit the wall of the pit, and the ground trembled violently. The wall of the pit was on the verge of collapse, as if it was going to collapse.

This deep pit had already been reinforced by Li Qing, but he didn’t expect that it would still be unable to withstand a few strikes!

However, Li Qing moved very quickly and didn’t give it another chance. He quickly rushed to the front of the pit, his figure as vigorous as a cheetah. Standing on top, he could see that the head of the demonic beast was exposed, right in front of his eyes. This was a very comfortable attack position.

He raised the Heavenly Saber in his hand and lowered it from above. He aimed it at its head and chopped it down!

With a “pu” sound, the Heavenly Saber was like cutting tofu, easily splitting its head open. This knife did not disappoint him, but was still as sharp as ever!

However, this demonic beast’s head was simply too big. The Heavenly Saber was not long enough. This saber had only cut down a portion of its head. Although it had caused fatal injuries to it, it still hadn’t died! A terrifying beast, its vitality was actually so tenacious!

It roared fiercely and began to hit the deep pit like a madman. The wall of the pit collapsed and Li Qing almost sank in. He quickly staggered back out.

Run!

He decisively retreated away from the pit without hesitation and watched from afar as the deep pit trembled violently. Still feeling unsafe, he quickly ran into the forest and hid.

Very quickly, the deep pit collapsed completely. It rushed to the ground and roared towards the sky. One of its eyes was blind, blood flowing out, a part of its head was cut open, and its brain fluid overflowed. It looked ferocious and terrifying.

It could not find any traces of the enemy. It rammed wildly everywhere. Everywhere it passed, everything was crushed. Trees fell, huge rocks were smashed into pieces, and it was razed to the ground.

He didn’t know how long it had been destroyed, but his voice gradually became quiet. After waiting for a long time, Li Qing walked out of his hiding place and saw the demonic beast.

He fell to the ground, exhausted his life and died. Seeing this, Li Qing heaved a sigh of relief and finally died.

A joy of success surged into his heart. This was a remarkable achievement for him. He relied on the Heavenly Saber in his hand and a series of perfect arrangements to successfully kill the first demonic beast!

Demonic beasts were indeed extremely powerful, but humans possessed one of the most powerful things, and that was intelligence! In this battle, Li Qing had barely fought it head-on, but he had successfully killed it.

It was time to reap the rewards. His eyes lit up, he walked forward, broke its head, and found a khaki-yellow stone the size of a fist–an inner core of a demonic beast. Anyone who became a demonic beast would have an inner core. This was their essence, and it was extremely precious.

He made a fire, cut off a piece of meat, and began to roast. The fragrance gradually spread out, and the flesh became golden and shiny, as if some mysterious energy was being emitted from it.

“Demonic beast meat has never been eaten before. It should look pretty good.” Looking at the smooth and shiny roast meat, his heart was drooling. He took a deep breath and couldn’t help but sigh, “It smells so good!”

After the meat was roasted, he could not wait to eat it.

A piece of demonic beast meat quickly fell to his stomach. He suddenly felt that his stomach was baking hot. It was as if a stream of heat was gushing towards his limbs and bones. Gradually, hot air began to emerge from his body.

“It’s so hot!” He took off his coat to reveal his muscles. He felt as if there was a surge of energy in his body, as if his body was beginning to swell.

“What’s going on? Is this meat too tonic?” He was puzzled.

He began to practice the Purple Yang Fist, circulating the Internal Breathing Technique. His breathing became rhythmic, and the purple light on his body circulated, emitting a brilliant light. The energy in his body gradually calmed down and slowly fused into his muscles, bones, and organs, nourishing his entire body.

He felt comfortable all over. Following the circulation of his inner breath, that energy flowed through his body, fusing together. It was warm and very comfortable.

After practicing a set of Purple Sun Fist, he actually didn’t feel tired at all. Instead, he felt energetic and his strength seemed to be endless. A small amount of substance appeared on his body, a bit like black sweat. His body was much lighter and the effect was excellent.

“Why do you feel that your strength seems to have increased by a lot? Could it be an illusion?” He muttered to himself.

He looked at the mountain of meat and his eyes couldn’t help but shine, “These meat are all good things. It seems to have an extremely good effect on body refinement. Demonic beast meat is indeed extraordinary!”

Later, he was a little annoyed. How could he preserve so much meat? He definitely wouldn’t be able to finish it in a short period of time, and it might rot in a few days.

However, he was asking for trouble. For a few days, the meat still looked very fresh and did not rot at all. It seemed that there was a mysterious energy contained within the meat of the demonic beast that could last for many years without decay.

In this way, he was relieved. In the following period of time, he stayed here, eating the meat of the demonic beast while practicing the Purple Sun Fist to temper himself, improving at a rapid pace.

Three months later.

A figure walked out. His entire body was tattered, his hair unkempt, and he looked like a barbarian. This person was Li Qing.

“It’s already been three months.” He looked up and sighed. He didn’t know how long he had been in the mountains. He hadn’t expected to stay here for so long.

He felt that he was stronger than ever before. He hadn’t expected that the demonic beast’s flesh would be so good. Now that his strength had doubled, his physical fitness had increased by more than a portion.

He walked to a boulder and reached out to hug it. With a forceful lift, the boulder was easily lifted. With another forceful throw, the boulder was thrown seven to eight meters away!

“I’m afraid my current strength is already 2,000 jin.” He guessed in his heart.

Such a powerful force was already comparable to the strongest warrior in the Heavenly Saber Tribe. But now, he was only fifteen years old!

“It’s time to go. In this mountain range, danger and opportunity coexist.” He decided not to stay any longer.

He chose a few scales on the back of the demonic beast. These scales were extremely hard and could be used as armor. In addition, he polished some bone spears and bone artifacts. After packing up his belongings, he set off into the deeper parts of the Lianyun Mountain Range.
