The Heavenly Saber Novel - Chapter 027

Chapter 027 Crisis Descended
Hunting has been going on for almost half a month. Along with the passage of time, the nearby demonic beasts were basically all hunted down by the crowd. Li Qing had no choice but to take Liu Ke’er further away to search for the demonic beast.

On this day, they arrived at a very distant place, searching for more prey. There were towering trees, far away from the camp, and there were few people there. As expected, there were even more demonic beasts everywhere, and the harvest was extremely generous.

“I’m so tired.” After half a day of fighting, Liu Ke’er’s expression was somewhat dispirited. She wiped the sweat off her forehead and powerlessly hacked open the bushes in front of her.

“Let’s go another distance. It’s almost time. Let’s go back.” Li Qing said.

Actually, he was very strong and didn’t feel tired at all, but seeing Liu Ke’er’s hard work, he couldn’t bear to make her suffer anymore.

Suddenly, the Heavenly Saber trembled.

“Huh? Wait!” Li Qing stopped and carefully sensed it before his expression changed.

“It’s dangerous! Very dangerous!”

Because this time, the Heavenly Saber’s vibration was so intense, and the thoughts it conveyed were extremely urgent, as if something terrifying was about to happen.

“What’s the matter?” Seeing that his expression was different, Liu Ke’er couldn’t help but ask.

‘”Shh–” He signaled her not to say anything, and then pulled her into the bushes to hide.

The surroundings were extremely silent, only the cries of birds.

After a long time, a faint sound of footsteps came closer and closer. The bushes were pushed open and a human appeared in front of them.

“He’s actually a Xiantian expert!” Li Qing’s expression changed drastically. This was really troublesome. Xiantian experts were definitely not something they could contend against.

Liu Ke’er was a little puzzled, because the person in front of her was wearing the uniform of the Eight Desolate Sect. He should be from the same sect, so why should he be afraid?

However, Li Qing did not doubt that he had never missed the Heavenly Saber Earth’s warning. This person was definitely not a friend or foe, and had killing intent towards them.

“Come out. There’s no need to hide.” This person’s face was cold and his gaze was sharp as he looked directly at where the two of them were hiding.

He was discovered! Li Qing and Liu Ke’er could only walk out.

The man laughed coldly, “Your spiritual sense is really sharp. You can find me from so far away. But it will only make you die faster.”

“Who are you? What are you following us for?” Li Qing said calmly. At the same time, he held a signal transmitter in his hand and was ready to call for help from the elder.

“My name is Xu Haoyang. You may not recognize me.” That person glanced at the signal transmitter in Li Qing’s hand, but didn’t pay any attention to it. “But you must know Xu Nanrong. I’m his brother.”

He then smiled sinisterly, “You caused my younger brother to lose his cultivation and be expelled from the sect. Now, I want you to experience this kind of pain.”

“So it’s Xu Nanrong’s brother!”

Li Qing’s heart skipped a beat. He knew that there was no way he could do anything good about it. Without any hesitation, he pulled open the signal transmitter, and with a “whoosh” sound, resplendent fireworks soared into the sky.

However, Xu Haoyang’s speed was even faster. He reached out and pressed his hand slightly. He saw a gathering of wind and clouds in the sky. He formed a palm and blocked the signal.

“Shit!” Li Qing’s expression changed and he shouted.

“It’s just a useless struggle.” Xu Haoyang sneered. His expression was indifferent as he looked at Li Qing as if he was looking at a dead person.

“Everything is under my control. No matter how hard an ant struggles, it’s useless. Be obedient and die.”

Liu Ke’er’s face was pale as she loudly said, “Aren’t you afraid that my grandfather and master will retaliate if you dare to kill us?”

“This is a desolate mountain and wilderness. There is no one around. Who would know that I did it?” Xu Haoyang said gloomily.

Li Qing took out his Heavenly Saber and took a step forward. He said resolutely, “Even if I die, I will not let you feel better!”

He knew that the moment of life and death had arrived and could not allow him to retreat. If he encountered a Xiantian demonic beast, he might still be able to escape. The reason for that was because demonic beasts were stupid and lacked intelligence. They only knew how to use brute force. However, facing a human Xiantian expert, there was no chance at all.

There was no other choice but to fight to the death.

“Don’t make me feel better? Haha, that’s a joke.” Xu Haoyang was extremely disdainful, as if he had heard something ridiculous. “Why are you making things difficult for me? With a broken saber in your hand?”

Li Qing did not say anything and waited for an opportunity to move. He just wanted Xu Haoyang to be careless, treat Heavenly Saber lightly, and then look for an opportunity to seriously injure him. Li Qing had tried this move repeatedly, and several people had already been hit.

However, Xu Haoyang was very cautious. He stared closely at the Heavenly Saber in Li Qing’s hand and looked at it carefully. He said somewhat disappointedly, “This is the rumoured high-grade real weapon in your hand? Why is it a broken saber? Is the rumor false?”

“Eh? Something seems to be wrong.”

After looking at it for a long time, he finally discovered something strange. He sensed the dao charm emitted by the saber and was shocked. His face revealed a greedy expression as he muttered to himself, “The divine object is self-concealing! It was almost deceived. This saber is really extraordinary. It seems to be very powerful, but I can’t tell the specifics.”

Sure enough, his eyesight was brilliant, and he could see through the uniqueness of the Heavenly Saber.

“Could it be that this is an incomplete spirit artifact? If that’s the case, then it’s really a great fortune, a great fortune!” He was so excited that his entire body trembled, as if he was crazy. He laughed loudly and said, “I was actually able to obtain a spirit artifact, hahaha…”

His laughter was so unpleasant that it made people’s scalps go numb.

“Damn, he found out!” Li Qing thought to himself that things were not good. He didn’t expect that the other party’s eyesight was so brilliant, and he actually discovered that the Heavenly Saber was extraordinary. He definitely wouldn’t fall for it.

“The treasures of this world are inhabited by the virtuous. This spirit artifact is mine now. You can go die now.” A cold light flashed in Xu Haoyang’s eyes. He suddenly extended his hand and pointed forward with his sword.

Chi!

A mighty sword qi shot out from his fingers and pierced towards Li Qing from a distance of tens of meters.

Innate experts can release their sword qi and kill people from afar!

In front of this vast sword light, Li Qing felt that his soul was about to be crushed.

‘”Ah–” He shouted loudly. He actually defeated the fear in his heart and used all of his strength. All the muscles in his body expanded explosively, and he slashed out without fear towards the sword qi.

“Boom!” The collision was intense. The Heavenly Saber was invincible, and it actually directly shattered this terrifying sword qi!

“Very good, you actually managed to block my attack! Could it be that the power of a spirit artifact is really that powerful?” Xu Haoyang’s eyes shone and his entire body trembled. He looked at Skyblade as if he was looking at a rare treasure.

“Being able to block one of my moves is enough for you to be proud of yourself. However, even if you rely on spirit artifacts, the huge gap in strength cannot be overcome. I have a thousand ways to kill you. Take one of my moves and capture the Dragon Palm!”

He stretched out a hand and grabbed forward. Suddenly, the gathering in the air turned into a huge True Essence Palm and grabbed Li Qing.

The giant palm was unstoppable and crushed down. The surrounding air was frozen, and Li Qing found that he could not move at all. The so-called Dragon Capturing Palm could even capture a dragon, so it naturally had the ability to seal space, making it impossible for it to escape.

Li Qing had seen Elder Liu use this Dragon Capturing Palm a long time ago. He had easily crushed two Xiantian Behemoths with one hand. Now that Xu Haoyang was using it, its power was naturally much weaker, but it was enough to deal with a small character like Li Qing.

Li Qingyu had no choice but to dodge. He was directly grabbed by the giant hand and wrapped around it. He pinched it hard!

‘”No–” Liu Ke’er shouted from behind and watched helplessly as Li Qing was caught. She didn’t even have a chance to interfere in a battle of this level, so she was extremely anxious.

“You must be dead now.” Xu Haoyang was full of confidence. Under his Dragon Capturing Palm, Li Qing had absolutely no chance of surviving.

“Ah–” At this moment, Li Qing shouted from within his giant palm, struggling with all his might. Obviously, he was not dead yet!

“Not dead yet? Impossible!” Xu Haoyang was shocked. Then, he increased his strength and his giant palm shrank again.

“Open it for me!” Li Qing struggled with all his might. His face was filled with blood, and his veins exploded.

Chi Chi Chi Chi Chi Chi Chi Chi Chi Chi Chi Chi Chi Chi Chi Chi Chi Chi Chi Chi Chi Chi Chi Chi Chi Chi Chi His body seemed to have grown larger, and his arms bulged with twisted knot. His veins burst out, and he turned from a originally delicate figure into a terrifying devil god!

He gritted his teeth and pushed open his giant palm bit by bit. Ten thousand jin of tremendous strength was simply too terrifying. It was actually capable of wrestling against Xiantian experts.

Xu Haoyang’s expression changed, “What a powerful force! How is this possible!” He continued to exert force, wanting to pinch Li Qing to death.

However, this was useless. Li Qing’s strength had gained the upper hand. In the end, he completely opened up the giant hand and gained freedom. Then, he slashed out with his saber and directly shattered it.

“This is outrageous! An ant actually dares to resist!” “Looks like I underestimated you,” Xu Haoyang said angrily as he gritted his teeth. “Next, I will personally go on the battlefield.”

It had been such a long time since he was able to take down a mere Houtian realm disciple, and it was truly shameful for him.

He took a step forward and turned into a streak of light. In an instant, he arrived in front of Li Qing and struck out with his palm.

“So fast!” Li Qing’s expression changed. His eyes were unable to catch the figure of the other party. He immediately activated the Eight Desolates Movement Technique and moved to the side, narrowly avoiding the palm strike.

But just as he landed, before he could react, another streak of light flashed past. Xu Haoyang was already in front of him, and a palm directly hit Li Qing’s chest.

“Bang!”

Li Qing was sent flying. Blood sprayed out of his mouth. He was seriously injured and his ribs were broken.

The difference in strength was too great. He was instantly knocked down and had no power to resist. If it weren’t for his strong body, this attack would have been enough to kill him.

‘”Ah–” He revealed a bitter smile as he watched in despair as Xu Haoyang slowly approached. Killing intent was emitted everywhere, and a terrifying aura was emitted. The air seemed to have frozen.

“Li Qing!” Liu Ke’er shouted, ran over and blocked him, “I won’t let you hurt him! Kill me beforehand!”

Her gaze was resolute as she pulled out her treasured sword. The sword was like a serene moon, and its cold light was like frost.

“Another treasured sword! This is a high-grade true artifact!” Xu Haoyang’s eyes lit up. “My luck is too good. It’s worth it, it’s worth it! Hahaha…”

Then he revealed a perverted gaze and looked up and down at Liu Ke’er’s curvaceous figure. He said wretchedly, “How can I be willing to kill you? Little beauty. Such a stunning beauty, no matter what, I have to play with it properly and imprison her until I’m tired of playing with it before killing her.”

Li Qing was furious when he heard this. His eyes were bloodshot and he held onto the Heavenly Saber tightly with both hands, intending to burn both jade and stone.

“Don’t even think about it!” Liu Ke’er scolded coldly with a frosty expression, “Even if I commit suicide, I won’t let you succeed.”

“Suicide? You still want to commit suicide in front of me? What a joke.” Xu Haoyang seemed to feel that he was in control of everything, including life and death.

Liu Ke’er ignored him, turned her head and said sadly, “Mu Tou, are we going to die today?” She shed two rows of clear tears, like pear blossoms with rain, making people pity her.

“I…” Li Qing’s heart ached and he opened his mouth to say something, but he didn’t know what to say.

Liu Ke’er said gently, “I have been very happy with you. Mu Tou, do you like me?”

Li Qing’s body trembled and he said without hesitation, “I like it!”

“I like you too.” She smiled sweetly and said, “I have no regrets for dying with you.”

In this life and death situation, they finally revealed their thoughts and confessed to each other.

The two of them looked at each other and smiled, their hearts resonating, everything was in silence. Right at this moment of life and death, only you and I are left in their eyes. Everything in the world seems to have disappeared, and everything outside has nothing to do with them.

“Pa! Pa! Pa!”

Xu Haoyang actually clapped his hands and laughed loudly, “How touching. However, have you ever asked me if you want to be a pair of mandarin ducks with the same fate?”

Li Qing coldly looked at him, and the rage in his heart began to burn. He gently stroked the Heavenly Saber, as if his body was filled with strength, and his eyes had actually turned a faint purple!

“I’m not willing!”

He gritted his teeth and endured the intense pain in his chest. He stood up, looked at Liu Ke’er gently and said resolutely, “I said before, I will always protect you until death do us part!”

He pulled Liu Ke’er behind him and faced Xu Hao Yang. His eyes were as bright as torches, and he said word by word, “Don’t be too complacent. I’m not dead yet. The battle isn’t over yet!”
