The Heavenly Saber Novel - Chapter 015

Chapter 015 Dark Night Attack
Li Qing walked out of the courtyard without turning his head. He felt a little depressed and took a deep breath of fresh air outside.

Indeed, there were grievances wherever there were people, no matter where they were. Even secluded sects like the Eight Desolate Sect couldn’t be spared from secularity.

It was night, there was no moon in the sky, and the surroundings were somewhat dim. Li Qing walked alone on the deserted mountain path, feeling a little lonely. It was a group of people when they arrived, but he was the only one who returned.

Suddenly, a burst of footsteps came from behind.

“Li Qing, wait.” Zhang Xiaolong and Zhou Bo chased after him and shouted from behind. Li Qing stopped and looked back at them.

“Sorry, we didn’t know this would happen.” They ran over to apologize and explained, “We were also invited by Shi Wei. We didn’t know about it beforehand.”

Li Qing was a little relieved. He nodded and said, “Yes, I believe you.”

The three of them smiled and accompanied each other.

“I’ve heard some rumors before.” Zhang Xiaolong was a little worried and said seriously, “I heard that there is a group of people secretly controlling the inner sect examination. They took most of the inner sect spots by manipulating the competition. This is a tight organization with a huge network of connections. You can’t underestimate it.”

Zhou Bo agreed, “That’s right, I’ve heard of it before.” Anyone who became an inner sect disciple through their relationship would naturally owe them a favor, and their hearts would naturally be grateful. That’s why they built such a huge network. This time, you have refuted their reputation. In order to establish their prestige, they will definitely not let you off. You must be careful. ”

Li Qing’s expression was somewhat grave as he asked curiously, “Could it be that they really dare to make a move on the Flaming Sun Peak?”

“It’s hard to say.” They were also uncertain, unable to draw a conclusion.

…

The night was getting darker and darker. After Li Qing returned, he took a bath and felt refreshed. Then, he began to cultivate as usual.

“Mm, what’s going on?” He frowned. It was because he felt that his zhenqi was actually circulating a little sluggishly, slower than usual, and a little stagnant.

He panicked, could it be that something was wrong with his body? He carefully searched for the reason, and it took him a long time, but he didn’t have the slightest clue.

Time passed bit by bit. In the middle of the night, it was lonely everywhere. Li Qing was still awake, and his mood was upset. He was thinking about what was going on.

His zhenqi flowed slower and slower, and in the end, it was as if he had stopped moving. At this moment, he was completely unable to circulate his True Qi.

“Something’s wrong. It should be poisoned.” He came to a conclusion. Suddenly, he thought of the wine he had drunk at the party and his eyes lit up.

“Yes, there was something wrong with that glass of wine. It was poisoned!” He gritted his teeth. What a sinister method.

“Could this be Qi Sealing Powder?” He guessed. Over the years, he had read a lot of books and had some understanding of it. These symptoms were too similar to Qi Sealing Powder.

Those who were hit by the Qi Sealing Powder would have their true energy sealed for a period of time, unable to use it, and would automatically undo it after a period of time. Not only was it difficult for the person who had been poisoned to detect it beforehand, but if anyone wanted to investigate it afterwards, they would probably not be able to investigate it.

The Qi Sealing Powder had a certain time limit, and it would be useless after a while. Li Qing was alert in his heart. Could it be that they were going to make a move now?

The moonlight and the winds were high, and this was a good opportunity to kill!

Just as he was thinking this, the Heavenly Saber suddenly shook.

It’s dangerous! Li Qing calmed down and listened. The surroundings were very quiet, without any wind or grass moving.

He patiently waited for a while. Sure enough, very soon, the sound of footsteps came from far to near and gradually became clear.

They’re coming!

Li Qing was extremely angry in his heart. As expected, they dared to make a move, treating the rules of the sect as if nothing had happened! He stood up, unafraid, opened the door, and walked out in a dignified manner. This was his home, there was no need to be sneaky, what he was afraid of was them!

There were three people in the courtyard who were sneaking in. Seeing Li Qing walk out of the courtyard, they couldn’t help but be stunned.

These three were Shi Wei, Shao Yujin, and an inner sect disciple. Li Qing recognized him. This person was an inner sect disciple sitting beside Xu Nanrong.

It seemed that Xu Nanrong hadn’t come, so Li Qing couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief. If he were to come, Li Qing would probably be in danger, but the current situation was much better.

These people probably didn’t know that although the true energy in their bodies couldn’t be used, they still had the cultivation of body refinement, and their strength was terrifying. He held the Heavenly Saber in his hand, which was enough to deal with them.

“Li Qing, we meet again.” Shi Wei said proudly, then sighed and said sympathetically, “You didn’t listen to my advice, but now it’s too late to regret it.”

Li Qing stared at him coldly, making his heart tremble.

Shao Yujin walked forward and cupped his hands. He said politely, “Brother Li, since you have been hit by the Qi Sealing Powder, the true energy in your body is no longer usable. You are definitely not our opponent, so you should obediently surrender. We will not harm your life. We will only interrupt your limbs so that you will not be able to participate in the inner sect examination. So there is no need to worry.”

Li Qing was very calm. He looked at them playfully and said, “I’m a little strange. Aren’t you afraid that I’ll report you if you dare to commit such a crime on Flaming Sun Peak?”

“Haha” Shi Wei smiled and said, “We’ve already established a relationship. We’ll be fine. If we can’t find out about us, we’ll only end up with nothing.”

Li Qing’s gaze narrowed. He didn’t expect that someone on the law enforcement team would collude with them.

“Alright, don’t talk too much. Hurry up and finish the work. We can go back to meet the task.” The inner sect disciple was impatient and began to urge. He didn’t want to make a move, because the two people in front of him were enough to handle it.

“Go!” Shi Wei and Shao Yujin rushed forward and reached out to grab Li Qing.

They smiled sinisterly. They all thought that Li Qing could no longer use his True Qi and did not have the strength to resist. Therefore, they were not on guard. They felt that it was very easy and could be easily captured.

But they were wrong, and the consequences were very serious.

Li Qing moved very quickly, leaving only an afterimage on the spot to easily dodge the attack. His muscles bulged, and his strength was extremely terrifying. His fists shot out at Shi Wei and Shao Yujin respectively, hitting their chests.

‘”Crack–” The sound of bones breaking could be heard, and the two of them screamed miserably as they flew out, spitting out blood from their mouths.

Their ribs were broken, their bodies heavily injured, and they could not stand up. Their gazes were filled with disbelief. Why did things suddenly change like this?

“You’re not poisoned!” The inner sect disciple cried out in surprise, “Looks like we’ve all been tricked by you. What a cunning brat.”

“I’m sorry to disappoint you.” Li Qing’s expression was indifferent.

The inner sect disciple pulled out his saber and waited. He stared fiercely at Li Qing and said, “Although something unexpected happened, it is still under control. All you did was in vain. You are no match for me. This time, I am very angry. Not only will I break your limbs, I will also break your ribs.” This person was very confident.

Li Qing carefully observed the opponent in front of him. This person had the cultivation of the seventh level of the Houtian realm, and his strength was extremely powerful. Furthermore, he was a person who had experienced many battles. Li Qing was sealed with true energy. With his body’s strength alone, he might not necessarily be his opponent.

But Li Qing still had the Heavenly Saber! This was the capital of his confidence.

“Kill!” This person rushed forward, his movements clean and neat. He slashed out with a saber light that was as brilliant as snow.

Li Qing was not afraid. He took out his Heavenly Saber and slashed out with it.

The Heavenly Saber was simple and unadorned. It was somewhat rough and broken. It was simply a broken saber. Compared to the other party’s shining saber, it was completely different from the other party’s treasured saber.

That person flashed a trace of disdain and felt that he could directly cut off Li Qing’s broken saber.

The two blades collided, and with a “dang” sound, the result was the opposite. The Heavenly Blade directly cut off the treasured saber on the opposite side, as easy as cutting tofu.

That person was shocked. How was that possible? He found it hard to believe. This treasured saber of his was a high-grade treasured artifact. How could it be cut off by this seemingly tattered saber of his? Could it be a true artifact?

This person’s precious saber was cut off, and his heart was in a panic. He was caught off guard and did not make an effective response at all.

After the Heavenly Saber cut off the opponent’s treasured saber, its castration did not decrease. Without any hesitation, Li Qing continued to slash down towards the other party’s forehead.

The man woke up and hurriedly dodged, but it was too late. He barely managed to side his body. The saber light flashed and his entire arm was cut off.

‘”Ah–” he screamed, blood flowing down to the ground.

Li Qing rushed forward and kicked him in the head, knocking him unconscious.

After dealing with his main opponent, Li Qing turned around and looked at the other two.

Shi Wei and Shao Yujin’s faces were pale and filled with fear. They forced out an ugly smile and whispered, “Big Brother Li Qing, for the sake of our past friendship, spare us, right?”

Li Qing did not have any pity. He walked forward and kicked them all unconscious.

He took out the rope, tied them up, threw them in the yard, and waited until dawn to report to the police tomorrow.
