The Heavenly Saber Novel - Chapter 006
Chapter 006 Three Years Later
Time flies like an arrow, and time flies like a shuttle. Soon, three years passed.
In the depths of the Lianyun Mountain Range, there was a demonic beast lying lazily on a small hillside, basking in the sun. This demonic beast looked a little like a crocodile, not too tall. It was about two to three meters tall, and its entire body was scarlet red. Its body was covered in hard scales and spikes, and flames spurted out from its mouth from time to time.
It narrowed its eyes and was drowsy, seemingly defenseless.
Suddenly, a long spear shot out from the jungle. It was as fast as lightning. With lightning speed, it instantly flew over a distance of several hundred meters and shot towards its head.
This demonic beast wanted to dodge, but this flying spear was too fast. It didn’t even have time to react and was shot.
The red light on its body exploded, and layers of scales on its head compressed. It wanted to rely on powerful defenses to block it, but it was still useless. The flying spear easily pierced through its hard head and pierced through its body.
It let out a miserable scream and collapsed before it could stand up. Just like that, this seemingly powerful demonic beast was shot to death.
A tall and strong young man walked out from the shadows of the forest. He had a handsome face and a trace of wildness. This person was Li Qing. He took a light leap and jumped up the hill.
After surviving in this dangerous mountain range for three years, Li Qing felt that he was about to become a savage, so he didn’t speak very well. Right now, he was unkempt, wearing a few animal skins, with a bag hanging from his waist, a few spears on his back, and a Heavenly Saber in his hand.
Three years had passed. He was already eighteen years old. He was very tall and strong, and his strength was no longer the same as before.
Cultivating while walking in the mountain range, his strength was probably already 5,000 jin. Even if it was just throwing spears, he could easily kill some weaker demonic beasts.
These spears were all specially made by him. They were made of high-grade wood from the mountains, and the spears were polished from the hardest bones of the demonic beasts. They could easily pierce through the scales of these demonic beasts. His spear-throwing technique had also become extremely brilliant, and within a distance of several hundred meters, his spear-throwing technique had almost hit a hundred times.
He looked at the Scarlet Scaled Beast lying on the ground and grinned.
After finishing his meal, he finished practicing the Purple Sun Fist again. He lay lazily on the hillside, basking in the sun. Looking at the center of the Lianyun Mountain Range shrouded in mist in the distance, he muttered, “We’re almost there, we’re almost there…”
He hadn’t expected that he would leave for such a long time, a full three years! The key was that they hadn’t reached their destination yet. After all, three years was enough time for ordinary people to cross several states.
It wasn’t that he didn’t want to walk fast, but there was nothing he could do. It was because the mountain range was too dangerous. There were unimaginably many demonic beasts here. Originally, he thought that he could cross the mountain range with a single Heavenly Saber, but now, it seemed that this idea was too naive. Along the way, he encountered too many crises, and even almost lost his life several times!
Once, he was ambushed by a demonic beast. It was a black leopard. Like a ghost, it touched Li Qing’s back and was about to kill him. Fortunately, at this critical moment, Heavenly Saber promptly issued an alarm to remind him. He immediately turned around and slashed the demonic beast in half, killing it. However, he was also shocked and broke out in cold sweat.
Once, he encountered a pack of wolves. The Wolf King was a powerful demonic beast that commanded dozens of wolves to attack Li Qing. Fortunately, he used his Heavenly Saber to quickly kill a few wolves, intimidating them. Otherwise, it would be very difficult for them to escape.
Another time, he encountered a berserk bear that was over ten meters tall. It was simply like a small mountain. He chased Li Qing over several mountains and finally managed to shake it off by relying on the dangerous terrain.
…
All of this was innumerable.
During this period, he discovered that Heavenly Saber had a very powerful ability, and that was to warn of dangers. It could always sense danger ahead of time and would warn Li Qing.
By relying on this ability, he could avoid many dangers ahead of time and avoid many dangerous places. Otherwise, he would never have been able to walk here, even if his current strength was not ordinary.
One had to know that the deeper one went into the mountain range, the more powerful the demonic beasts would become. In front of these powerful demonic beasts, his current strength was simply not enough. He had observed those terrifying demonic beasts from afar. Some of them were truly terrifying, capable of overturning rivers and seas, destroying mountains and splitting earth. Such a demonic beast was simply not something that a human could contend against. In front of these demonic beasts, they didn’t even have a chance to escape.
“This Heavenly Saber is very intelligent.” He silently thanked in his heart, “There’s only one more road left. I hope we won’t encounter any more dangers.”
Those who traveled a hundred li were half-ninety. The last part of the road was probably the toughest. However, he had no other way to retreat when he reached this point.
Just as he finished thinking, the Heavenly Saber suddenly shook. Li Qing’s expression changed drastically. There was danger nearby! He hurriedly jumped up and jumped into the bushes to hide.
At this moment, the sky darkened. Li Qing raised his head and saw a huge bird flying over from the sky. It was like dark clouds, covering the sky and the sun. Its entire body was black, and its feathers emitted a cold, jet-black light. Its wings were like a giant sickle.
It dived down and whistled through the forest. Just the aftershocks caused a large area of trees to fall. Li Qing was buried under the layers of trees and was not injured. He did not dare to move at all.
It circled in the sky, seemingly looking for something. After a while, a small mountain not far away suddenly trembled. The rocks collapsed and disintegrated one after another. Then, it exploded, and a huge snake head drilled out from the broken mountain.
Li Qing sucked in a breath of cold air. This snake head was like a small mountain, so how big should its body be!
Rumble!
The giant snake quickly got out of its body and made an angry gesture. It opened its huge mouth, revealing its terrifying fangs. It roared at the giant bird in the sky, and the terrifying sound waves swept away all the surrounding woods.
Li Qing felt that this place was extremely dangerous. He couldn’t be stunned. Otherwise, the aftermath of the battle would have killed him. He quietly stood up, cleaved open the trees blocking his path, and slowly fled backwards.
After a while, the two beasts began to fight. The giant serpent had already drilled out of its entire body and was ready for battle. The black bird circled in the air for a while before suddenly diving down at top speed, like a streak of black lightning, attacking the giant snake with its sharp claws and sharp beak.
The giant snake was unwilling to be outdone, and continuously spat out black poisonous gas from its mouth. The snake’s head swiftly swung, counterattacking with all its might.
At that moment, a strong wind swept through the surroundings, and poisonous smoke billowed, poisoning all living beings. The snake and bird fought each other until the sky was dark, and the wind and clouds changed color, causing this desolate land to be scattered.
Li Qing had already fled far away from the place where the two beasts were fighting. Looking back, he could not help but feel a lingering fear when he saw such a vast scene. “Fortunately, I ran fast, otherwise I would have died.”
He turned around and continued walking. Looking forward, he couldn’t help but be shocked, because he saw two people in front of him!
The two of them were slowly walking over, chatting and laughing. They looked very leisurely and weird.
Li Qing wiped his eyes and found it hard to believe, “Am I dumbfounded? How could I meet someone in such a damn place?”
He almost forgot what he looked like. Now that he suddenly saw two living people, he couldn’t help but suspect that he was hallucinating.
He wasn’t mistaken. There were indeed two people in front of him, an old man and a young girl. Although they were strange, they didn’t look like bad people from afar.
Li Qing didn’t think too much about it. He hurriedly ran forward and shouted at the two of them, “Hey, don’t go any further. It’s dangerous. There are two terrifying demonic beasts fighting in front of him.”
The old man seemed to have noticed him a long time ago, and was not surprised. When he ran closer, he smiled faintly, “It doesn’t matter. Isn’t it just two animals? What’s there to be afraid of?”
Li Qing was speechless, so confident? When they saw the two demonic beasts, they would know how powerful they were.
As he got closer, he looked at the two of them carefully. The old man had white hair and looked like a fairy. The other girl, who was about fourteen or fifteen years old, looked very cute. She looked like a fairy.
He had never seen such a beautiful girl before, so he couldn’t help but be stunned. His face flushed red and he hurriedly dodged his head. He hadn’t seen anyone for a long time, so he was at a loss for what to do. He stammered, “Those two demonic beasts are different … very powerful …”
The girl said, “I know. We can all see it without you saying it.” Her voice was as crisp and pleasant as an oriole’s, but it also penetrated the hearts of people like a clear spring.
“Then” Li Qing scratched his head, not knowing what to say. He didn’t understand why the two of them were so confident. Could it be that they were immortals? Judging from their appearances, they really look alike…
The old man did not say anything more about this matter. Instead, he asked, “Did you come here alone?”
Li Qing hesitated for a moment before replying, “Yes, alone.”
The old man’s face revealed a trace of surprise. He carefully sized up Li Qing for a while and continued, “The depths of the Lianyun Mountain Range are full of dangers. I’m afraid you won’t be able to come here with your strength, right? It seems like you have achieved some small success in body refinement. Your strength should not be small, but you don’t have any cultivation. To come here would be a close call.”
Li Qing was shocked. He didn’t expect this old man to see through his background. He nodded honestly and said, “Indeed, there are dangers everywhere, so it took me three years to come here.”
“Three years!” The girl couldn’t help but exclaim, “So long?”
The old man smiled and said, “Little brother is a capable person. He actually took three years to walk here. Where are you going?”
Li Qing turned around and pointed at the center of the Lianyun Mountain Range.
Seeing this, the old man said, “Oh, we’re going there. Coincidentally, we’re going there too. Why don’t we go together?”
Li Qing thought for a moment and nodded, “Alright!”
Thus, the three of them accompanied each other. Li Qing looked at the direction they were heading in and felt a little hesitant in his heart. He advised, “It’s so dangerous ahead. Why don’t we take a detour?”
The old man said indifferently, “It’s fine. Just follow me and I’ll keep you safe.”
Li Qing didn’t say anything else. Although he was a little nervous, he still chose to believe them.
Gradually, they arrived at the place where the two beasts were fighting. They were already covered in bruises, causing sparks to splatter everywhere, making it difficult to separate them.
The old man didn’t seem to care and said indifferently, “Wait for me to take them away.” After he finished speaking, his aura suddenly changed, emitting a powerful aura that was even more terrifying than the two fierce beasts.
He stretched out his two hands towards them. The wind and clouds gathered in the sky and formed two terrifying large hands. They covered the sky and covered the sun. He directly grabbed the two giant beasts, just like he grabbed two chicks. Then, he forcefully pinched them.
The two giant beasts screamed miserably and struggled with all their might, but it was useless. They were directly crushed by the giant hand and sprinkled with a rain of blood.
The giant hands dissipated, and the two giant beast corpses fell in front of the three of them. The old man waved his hand. A ring flickered between his fingers, and the two giant beasts suddenly disappeared.
Li Qing was already stunned, “Too powerful. Is this still a human? Could it be that he is really an immortal?”
He had never thought that human strength could reach this level. This old man’s strength had opened up a brand new world for Li Qing.
A brand new painting slowly opened in front of him.
