The Heavenly Saber Novel - Chapter 012

Chapter 012 Martial Arena Struggle
At this moment, a knock came from outside the courtyard.

“Who could it be?” Li Qing stopped cultivating and hurriedly got up to open the door.

The neighbor Zhao Tiezhu had already passed the inner sect examination and became an inner sect disciple. He moved into the inner sect area, so it shouldn’t be him. However, in the past few years, he had a few fellow disciples who had a good relationship with each other. Could it be them?

Li Qing opened the door and saw a smiling face in front of him.

“Ke’er, it’s you!” He was very pleasantly surprised.

Liu Ke’er abruptly patted Li Qing’s shoulder and smiled, “Yeah, aren’t you welcome?” She still loved to laugh so much, and her smile was cute. Five years had passed, and she had already grown into a big girl. She was graceful and beautiful.

“How could that be?” He smiled, a little embarrassed. Looking at this gorgeous and beautiful face in front of him, he always felt a little ashamed of himself, so he could not speak very quickly.

“You came to see your grandfather again?” Li Qing asked. In the past few years, Liu Ke’er often visited her grandfather at Yan Yang Peak and occasionally came to see Li Qing, but not many times. Now that she had suddenly appeared in front of him, that was the only reason.

“Yes, I came by your side. Let’s go, what are you doing standing outside? Go inside like a log.” She rolled her eyes at him and carelessly pushed Li Qing away before walking into the room.

Li Qing moved sideways to get out of the way. Hearing the word “wood”, the corner of his mouth couldn’t help but reveal a smile. They thought that it would take them a long time to see each other, so it was inevitable that they would be a little unfamiliar. Unexpectedly, it was still the same as before, not changing at all. She still had such a heartless and heartless appearance and was not polite to Li Qing at all.

Liu Ke’er walked in and raised her head high like a proud swan. She was tyrannical in the courtyard, as if she was patrolling her territory.

“Why is your courtyard still so desolate? Why don’t you plant some flowers and grass to beautify it … Aiya, your house is still so simple and messy, and you don’t clean it up …”

She stretched out her hand and pointed everywhere, her face occasionally showing a look of disdain.

The courtyard was filled with weeds and rocks, making it look extremely desolate. In the room, there was a mess of things piled together, and a pile of unwashed clothes.

“I only helped you clean up last time, but it’s still the same now. Hmph! I’m very unhappy.” She waved her fist to express her dissatisfaction.

Li Qing hurriedly smiled and said, “I don’t have time. I usually have to work hard to cultivate, but I don’t pay attention to these small details.”

Liu Ke’er rolled her eyes and said, “You want to cultivate? Don’t tell me other people don’t want to cultivate? I haven’t seen such a mess.”

After she finished speaking, she began to clean up the things in the house.

“I’ll help you clean up again today. If it’s still this messy next time, I’ll beat you up!” She threatened, revealing her cute little tiger fangs.

Li Qing was very guilty, how could he dare to object, “Definitely, definitely.”

“Then come and help!” She said coquettishly.

The two of them started to clean up the room together, and very quickly, everything inside was completely new.

Liu Ke’er wiped the sweat off her forehead and glanced at Li Qing, “Hey, your strength has improved again.”

Li Qing felt a little proud in his heart, but he said modestly, “It’s just a small improvement. It’s nothing.”

Liu Ke’er smiled, as if she could see through the pride in his heart. Then, she smelly said, “Compared to me, it’s far from enough.”

Hearing this, Li Qing’s face stiffened. He rubbed his nose and asked for trouble. He thought to himself, “Who can compare to a genius like you?”

Liu Ke’er was indeed a genius. She was only twenty years old, and her cultivation had already reached the Houtian 8th layer. She was a famous genius in the entire Eight Desolate Sect, and the Secluded Moon Peak Master had personally accepted her as his disciple. Coupled with her beautiful appearance, peerless eight peaks, and peerless beauty, she could really be considered as a beauty of the heavens. Many male disciples had already secretly admired her and pursued her.

She suddenly thought of something and said excitedly, “Wood, let’s spar, shall we?”

“Sparring?” He thought for a moment and shook his head, “Saber and sword have no eyes. It’s better to be careful not to come.”

“Come on” She shook Li Qing’s arm and began to act spoiled.

How could Li Qing bear it? He could only helplessly say, “Alright, but let’s stop there.”

“Great! Follow me.” She happily grabbed Li Qing’s hand and ran out of the house. She stood on the open space in the courtyard, eager to try, ready to start a war.

“Stop!” Li Qing hurriedly stopped her, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, “My aunt, if we start fighting here, my courtyard will definitely be flattened by you.”

“Yes, too.” She patted her forehead and said, “Then let’s go to the martial arts arena.” As he said that, he pulled Li Qing excitedly towards the martial arts arena, and could not allow him to refuse.

…

This so-called martial arena was actually the huge square in front of the Flame Sun Hall. The plaza was large enough to accommodate hundreds of people. Moreover, the ground was extremely hard. It was made of diamonds, enough to withstand the violent bombardment of the Houtian realm.

Li Qing and Liu Ke’er chose an empty space and began to sparring.

“Let’s see!” Liu Ke’er held onto her sword and attacked like a fairy. As she waved her sword, it was as if countless moonblades were falling down.

Li Qing’s eyes lit up and he shouted, “Good day! Take my move, the rising sun rises in the east!” This move was the first move of the Flaming Sun Saber Technique, and it was extremely powerful.

It was as if he had transformed into a sun, then leapt into the sky and slashed downwards. It was as if the rising sun was rising on the eastern horizon, breaking through the eternal darkness, unstoppable.

Liu Ke’er did not show any signs of weakness and used a move called “Bright Moon at Sea” to directly collide with Li Qing’s saber.

The two of them exchanged blows and fiercely fought each other.

They didn’t use all their strength, they were just sparring. Li Qing didn’t use his Heavenly Saber either. He only used an ordinary mortal weapon. After all, if he accidentally cut off Liu Ke’er’s precious sword, it wouldn’t be good.

Liu Ke’er’s cultivation was much higher, but Li Qing’s actual combat ability was even stronger. Moreover, not only did he possess the cultivation of Qi Condensation, he also possessed tremendous strength and dual cultivation of magic and physique. Over the years, his strength had increased to 6,000 jin, extremely powerful. With just his physical strength, he could fight against a Houtian 6th or 7th layer expert.

Relying on his dual strength, he was able to fight Liu Ke’er until the wind blew and he didn’t lose.

When the surrounding disciples saw this wonderful competition, they gradually gathered around to watch the fun. When he saw the excitement, he would occasionally clap his hands.

“Alright, let’s not fight anymore.” Liu Ke’er stopped, panting and sweating profusely. Seeing that the surroundings were gradually filled with people, she frowned.

Li Qing wiped his sweat and heaved a sigh of relief.

In fact, he had gradually fallen into a disadvantageous position. If he continued to fight, he might lose. After all, Liu Ke’er’s strength was much higher, and her moves were varied, almost endless. Unlike Li Qing, who only had three moves of the Flaming Sun Saber Technique, he was gradually unable to withstand it.

“What kind of swordsmanship is that? It’s amazing.” Li Qing walked over and praised.

“Of course.” She immediately revealed a complacent expression, “That’s the Serene Moon Sword Technique. I’ve already learned the whole set.”

“The whole set!” Li Qing was speechless. He had only exchanged for three Flaming Sun Saber Techniques and used 1,000 Contribution Points. He needed more Contribution Points in the following moves. As for Liu Ke’er, she didn’t need to do anything and was given a complete set of Secluded Moon Swordsmanship. It really made people jealous.

“Let’s go.” Liu Ke’er held Li Qing’s hand and was about to leave.

Suddenly, the onlookers split up, and a group of people walked towards Liu Ke’er. The young man in the lead was gentle and elegant, with a jade tree facing the wind.

“This is the grandson of the Commandment Elder. His name is Chen Jun.” The surrounding people recognized him and began to discuss.

Chen Jun was only twenty years old, but his strength had already reached the Houtian seventh layer. Moreover, he had an outstanding appearance and a very modest personality. He was an outstanding figure of Flaming Sun Peak’s younger generation, and his evaluation was extremely good.

Chen Jun walked straight towards Liu Ke’er and stopped her. He said with admiration, “Miss Ke’er, we meet again.”

Liu Ke’er rolled her eyes and said impatiently, “Who are you? Get out of the way.”

Chen Jun’s expression stiffened. He forced a smile and said, “We just met in your grandfather’s courtyard. At that time, I was proposing marriage to your grandfather.”

Hearing the word “propose marriage”, Li Qing’s body trembled, and his heart actually felt a little nervous.

“Oh, it’s you.” Liu Ke’er said indifferently, “Didn’t I already reject it in front of you?”

It turned out that Elder Jie had brought Chen Jun to propose marriage to Elder Liu. Because of this, Elder Liu had called Liu Ke’er to Flaming Sun Peak and asked about this matter in person. However, she did not hesitate to refuse.

Li Qing felt relieved and let out a long sigh of relief.

Chen Jun wasn’t angry either. He smiled gently and said, “Love can be nurtured slowly. Please give me a chance. Let’s go for a walk and enjoy the scenery of the mountains.”

“No!” Liu Ke’er refused without hesitation.

Chen Jun’s expression was a little ugly. Suddenly seeing Liu Ke’er holding Li Qing’s hand, she couldn’t help but be furious in her heart. She extended her hand and questioned, “Who is this man?”

“Him?” Liu Ke’er looked up at Li Qing and said, “He’s… He’s my man!” She coldly said this.

Everyone was in an uproar, dumbfounded. Chen Jun’s face turned a pig’s liver color, no longer as gentle and elegant as before. Li Qing looked at Liu Ke’er in disbelief.

Seeing the crafty look in her eyes, he couldn’t help but smile bitterly, “What a strange girl, using me as a shield.”

After all, Chen Jun was a smart person, and he quickly returned to normal. He shook his head and said, “I don’t believe it.” He looked at Li Qing with a scrutinizing gaze and said disdainfully, “Is that him? I don’t believe it.”

Afterwards, he walked around Li Qing and looked at him unrestrainedly. He looked very carefully and said, “He is only slightly handsome and has a taller and stronger body. Other than that, there is nothing unusual about him. He is far inferior to me.” He came to an easy conclusion.

Then Chen Jun continued to say to Liu Ke’er, “Don’t tell me you like tall and strong? I can cultivate a good body right now, definitely stronger than this person!”

He ignored Li Qing and felt that this was a trivial person. In his eyes, only Liu Ke’er was there.

Li Qing was a little unhappy. This person had an arrogant look on his face, clearly showing contempt for him.

He took a step forward and stood in front of Liu Ke’er, saying indifferently, “Get out of the way.”
