The Heavenly Saber Novel - Chapter 021

Chapter 021 Elder Accepts Disciples
After resting for a while, the finals began.

Li Qing and another person walked to the center of the arena. The surroundings were packed with people, and the entire martial arena was completely silent. Everyone stared at the two of them without taking their eyes off them.

Li Qing looked at his opponent. He was very tall and sturdy. His shoulders were very wide and his arms were very long. He looked like a gibbon.

“You are Li Qing?” The person on the other side looked at Li Qing proudly, as if he was looking at a junior.

“Isn’t this nonsense?” Li Qing looked at him like an idiot.

“You!” “What an arrogant brat! Today, I will teach you a good lesson!”

In fact, he was indeed Li Qing’s senior, because he had already participated in the inner sect examination twice. The first time he participated, he was at the fifth level of the Houtian realm, so he wasn’t strong enough. The second time he participated in the competition, he unfortunately encountered an even stronger one and was eliminated in the end. This was the third time he had participated in the exam. He believed that he had cultivated for several years longer than Li Qing, and his cultivation had already reached the peak of the sixth level of the Houtian realm. His martial skills were excellent, and he could not lose.

He smiled confidently, pulled out a black heavy sword and said, “Remember, the person who defeated you is called Yuan Song!”

With that, his eyes narrowed and his aura rose. A low roar: “Take a move first I open the mountain stance!” With a single movement, he drew closer to Li Qing. His movements weren’t fast, and the black heavy sword in his hand was even more so a simple slash!

Huala! He slashed heavily! Simple and rough.

In a trance, Li Qing seemed to hear the sound of the air being shattered, and the black heavy sword had already landed on his head.

“Break!”

Li Qing stood on the spot, not fearful. He also slashed out with his saber.

“Dang!” The sound was deafening, sparks splashing everywhere. This attack was actually evenly matched!

Li Qing was very surprised, because this was the first time someone was able to face him head-on in this exam.

“Interesting.” He was delighted to see it.

Yuan Song was even more shocked, “What a formidable strength! I have cultivated the Broken Mountain Sword Technique for so many years, practicing the heavy sword in the mountains, cleaving mountains and earth, invincible and unstoppable. I thought that no one would be able to face me head-on today, how would I have known that I would encounter such a freak!”

He said with a serious expression, “Very good, actually able to receive my sword. However, I have a total of thirteen Broken Mountain Sword Techniques. Let’s see how many you can receive from me!”

Yuan Song rushed forward and continued to attack. His footsteps were mysterious as he struck the heavy sword in his hand one after another.

Qiang! Qiang! Qiang! …

“Mountain Opening Style! Earth Splitting Style! Mountain Stacking Style! Thousand Heavy Peaks!”

Yuan Song surrounded Li Qing and continuously moved his position. He was unexpectedly very nimble, just like an ape. Each strike of the heavy sword was extremely heavy, colliding with the long saber, causing sparks to splash everywhere.

“What a powerful sword technique!” Li Qing could only feel that his hand was numb. His opponent’s heavy sword was getting heavier and heavier.

“Peng!” “Peng!” Every time Li Qing received a sword strike, the soles of his feet would tremble.

“Wonderful!” The spectators cheered.

Above the grandstand, the eyes of the three elders lit up, “That’s right, the Broken Peak Sword Technique’s thirteen moves, one sword is even stronger than the other!” This set of swordsmanship was focused on the word’momentum ‘. The more one reached the back, the more powerful one’s strength would become. However, Li Qing’s foundation was also very strong. He was actually able to easily unload his strength onto the ground, and his body was not affected in the slightest. “Just this control of strength alone is already amazing!”

Release the force! After so many years of body refinement, Li Qing’s control over his muscles and bones had already reached a peak. No matter how heavy the opponent’s momentum was, Li Qing would easily withstand it and transmit it to the ground along his feet.

If an ordinary person could receive so many swords, their bodies would still be injured, causing internal injuries.

In the middle of the field, Yue Song was still attacking. His figure was light and agile, but his sword momentum was as heavy as a mountain! Sword after sword. One after another!

Qiang! Qiang! Qiang!

Li Qing moved within a radius of ten feet, defending against the opponent’s heavy sword. As time passed, his smile grew brighter and brighter.

“It’s been a long time since I’ve fought so happily. Sword after sword, the power and momentum of my sword have grown stronger and stronger. I really want to see when this sword momentum will come to an end!” Li Qing began to use all of his strength.

“This is the twelfth sword! The power of this sword, an ordinary Houtian seventh layer expert would probably be hacked to death.” Everyone cried out in alarm, their hearts trembling.

However, this sword strike was still blocked by Li Qing. He stood like a pine, unyielding.

“Thirteenth Sword!” Yuan Song roared.

This last sword strike of his actually wielded both of his hands and slashed down crazily, carrying the aftermath of the twelve swords in front of him. It even caused the surrounding air to tremble, and the sound of air explosions rumbled, and its momentum was extremely shocking.

Li Qing remained unmoved and continued to slash out with an extremely simple saber. It was clean and simple.

Qiang!

Li Qing was finally chopped back three steps. His arm felt numb and his chest surged. It took him a long time to calm down.

Yuan Song also retreated to the side. Seeing that his opponent was still unharmed, only taking three steps back, he couldn’t help but be stunned. “How, how is that possible” His right hand trembled slightly as he looked at all of this in disbelief.

When the thirteen swords slashed down, his arms were already weak and sour. The tiger’s mouth actually shattered and blood flowed out.

“Haha, have a good time, have a good time!” Li Qing laughed out loud, his eyes slightly red with excitement. “Is there anything else? If not, then it’s my turn.”

After he finished speaking, he instantly rushed forward and slashed out with a clean slash.

“The sun is blazing in the sky!” He directly used the Flaming Sun Saber Technique, the saber light burning people.

Yuan Song no longer had the strength. He looked at the saber in despair and said, “No–” He barely raised his sword lattice to block it, but it was useless. He was slashed away by Li Qing. The saber power did not decrease in the slightest and he chopped down.

Everyone cried out in alarm. It was dangerous, and they saw that this saber was about to split Yuan Song into two.

In the end, the blade came to a close stop above Yuan Song’s head.

Yuan Song broke out in cold sweat as he looked at the blade above his head and bitterly said, “I lost!”

Everyone was dumbfounded, “Too cruel!” The outcome was decided, and the quiet crowd instantly started to stir.

“Too strong. Is this still an outer sect disciple competition? It’s even stronger than some inner sect disciples.”

“That’s right. I’ve been in the inner sect for several years. I’m afraid I can’t beat them. This Li Qing is really a freak. He has only cultivated for five years and is already like this.”

“Actually, it’s not that exaggerated. There are no tigers in the mountains. Monkeys are called kings. There are some geniuses who have been accepted into the inner sect long ago and don’t even need to be outer sect disciples. Just like Liu Ke’er, I heard that she is only twenty years old and already at the eighth level of the Houtian realm. If such a genius also came to participate in the exam, there would be nothing wrong with Li Qing.” Some people said sarcastically.

…

Just like that, this final battle ended and Li Qing won the first place.

“Li Qing, come up and accept the award.” The guardian walked up to the stage and said.

Everyone watched with envy as Li Qing walked onto the platform. They heard that the reward for first place in the examination was very generous. Most importantly, there was a high possibility that the elders would take a fancy to him and accept him as their disciple. Even if the elders didn’t accept it, there would still be sect guardians competing to accept it.

A deacon took out the prize and handed it to Li Qing.

“This time, the rewards are a thousand spirit stones and a top-grade treasure-Heavenly Silkworm Armor.” The guardian announced loudly.

Everyone was in an uproar! That was a top-grade treasure. It was something that even spirit stones couldn’t buy, and many people were jealous.

Li Qing smiled as he received it and said, “Thank you, Protector.”

“You don’t have to thank me. You deserve it.” After saying that, the guardian turned around and said to the three elders, “Elder, the inner sect examination is over. Look…”

“Li Qing, come here.” The commandment elder said.

Li Qing hurriedly walked forward and bowed in turn, “Greetings to the three elders.”

“Mm. Not bad, I won the first place. I’m not disappointed.” The Commandment Elder nodded in satisfaction. Of course, he still remembered Li Qing. He was deeply impressed by what happened in the Commandment Hall not long ago.

He felt that he was quite close to Li Qing and was about to accept him as a disciple.

At this time, Elder Liu said with a smile, “Li Qing, long time no see.”

Li Qing’s eyes lit up and he hurriedly said, “Greetings, Elder Liu. I didn’t expect that you would still remember this kid.”

The other two elders were all stunned, “What, Old Liu, do you know each other?”

“That’s right.” Elder Liu said with an innocent expression, “I brought him up the mountain. Don’t you know?”

“What’s wrong with you?” The faces of the two elders darkened. They had come here to observe the battle to see if there were any good materials or qualities that they could accept as disciples. In the end, the strongest one was actually brought up the mountain by someone else.

Since it was someone else who brought it up the mountain, it would be difficult for him to snatch it away.

When Elder Liu saw the expressions of these two people, he was somewhat complacent and said indifferently, “At that time, I was just doing it casually. I didn’t expect that the result would be good.”

“Humph!” The other two elders turned their faces away to express their dissatisfaction.

Elder Liu Zhengrong said, “Li Qing, are you willing to take me as your master?”

Li Qing was naturally willing. He immediately said respectfully, “I am willing to take Elder as my master.”

Elder Liu stroked his beard and smiled, “Why are you calling me Elder?”

Li Qing hurriedly knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times. He saluted and said loudly, “This disciple greets Master.”
