The Heavenly Saber Novel - Chapter 043
Chapter 043 Leave The Mountain Gate
The days returned to a brief calm.
Liu Ke’er has returned to the Secluded Moon Peak, so she may not come back in the near future. The storm of the tournament was quite big. Rumors spread everywhere, and it became more and more intense. It was as if Li Qing had really become a cruel villain.
However, Li Qing did not leave the room and ignored the storms outside, but he was not affected at all. He didn’t care much about that.
When his friends received the news, they all came to visit him one by one. Zhang Xiaolong, Zhou Bo, and Zhao Tiezhu were his few friends. Naturally, it was a great pleasure for old friends to meet again after a long separation. Their friendship was extremely precious.
“It’s said that Chen Jun was imprisoned by the Commandment Elder for three months, so he wanted to train him fiercely.” They were chatting and laughing when they heard this.
“This fellow is really a parallel imp. He has a cultivation base, but his combat strength is very poor.”
“Normally, I’m spoiled and I haven’t experienced any training. No wonder.”
“Li Qing, you should still remember Xu Nanrong, right? Let me tell you the good news. The organization he belongs to has been uprooted and completely eradicated.” Zhang Xiaolong said.
“Of course I do. This is a good thing. Flaming Sun Peak has lost a tumor.” Li Qing knew that this was Elder Liu’s doing. Because Xu Haoyang had once killed Li Qing and Liu Ke’er, Elder Liu eradicated this organization in a rage.
…
A few days later, Li Qing received a message from Elder Liu that one of his senior brothers had returned.
He quickly arrived at his master’s courtyard and walked in. He saw two people sitting under the old willow tree. One of them was naturally Elder Liu, while the other was a black and thin man sitting beside him.
“Disciple, you’re here.” When Elder Liu saw Li Qing, he smiled and extended his hand to introduce him, “This is your Second Senior Brother, Han Tie!”
So it was Second Senior Brother. He hurriedly saluted, “Li Qing greets Second Senior Brother.”
Han Tie was very strong, his complexion was very dark, and he had a ferocious aura. His expression was ancient, and he obviously often traveled outside.
Han Tie laughed and revealed his white teeth. He patted Li Qing on the shoulder and said, “You are Li Qing, my junior apprentice-brother. I heard about you from my master long ago. I didn’t expect that we wouldn’t be able to see each other until today. I saw you today, and you really are extraordinary.”
Elder Liu had previously accepted a total of six disciples. Four of them were already dead. The other two were called Wen Xiaoxian and the other was Han Tie. They were all Xiantian experts.
Wen Xiao was first Eldest Senior Brother. He had traveled the world and hadn’t returned for many years. Han Tie, on the other hand, had been traveling all these years, doing missions for the sect, so he had to come back at this time.
It would not be easy for them to see each other.
In fact, many people in the Eight Desolate Sect would choose to go out to train after reaching the Xiantian realm. Either travel the world and gain experience. Either they were doing missions for the sect and taking care of the sect’s industry. Therefore, there weren’t many Xiantian experts left in Flaming Sun Peak.
This was also a tradition of the Eight Barren Mountains. The Eight Desolate Mountain Range was located in the middle of the Lianyun Mountain Range, and its location was remote. If he didn’t go out and train, it would be very difficult for him to cultivate to a higher realm.
Han Tie was very heroic, and his laughter was hearty, causing people to have a good impression of him at a glance. The two of them chatted for a while, sat down to chat, and talked about their experiences. Occasionally, they would laugh loudly, and the three of them would enjoy themselves.
…
A month later, Li Qing and Liu Ke’er met again. Today, they were leaving for Cloud Continent City.
“Let’s go.” Li Qing pulled Liu Ke’er’s hand and walked down the Eight Desolate Mountain Range, entering the Lianyun Mountain Range once again.
“I didn’t expect us to return here so soon.” He smiled bitterly.
“That’s right. I was so happy to think that I would be able to leave soon.” Liu Ke’er was very excited, just like a happy bird. She had stayed in the Eight Desolate Mountains for so many years and had never gone out. Today, she could finally go outside. Of course, she was very happy.
After a month, the primeval forest was still deep and unchanging, but people’s mood was very different. At this moment, they were very relaxed, chatting and laughing, without any sense of urgency.
“Alright, be careful. Don’t be careless. Although your strength has become stronger, you can’t let down your guard to prevent the ship from capsizing in the sewer.” Li Qing warned.
“Oh, alright then.” Liu Ke’er quieted down obediently, like a bird depending on a person.
“Let’s go, hurry up. If we want to go out, we still have a long way to go.” Thus, the two of them quickened their pace.
With their current strength, if they didn’t encounter Xiantian demonic beasts, there wouldn’t be any danger. As for the Xiantian demonic beasts, they were basically all killed, so this journey could be considered to be extremely safe.
However, it was still not easy to get out of the mountain range-the distance was too far.
Back then, it took Li Qing three years to reach the center of the Lianyun Mountain Range. Although it was mainly because the road was too dangerous to travel fast, it was still imaginable how far it was.
Of course, today was different from the past. Their strength had greatly improved, and their speed was much faster. There were many places where they didn’t need to take a detour and could directly charge through, but they didn’t need to take this long. They were more than a hundred times faster.
…
Half a month later, they arrived at the outskirts of the Lianyun Mountain Range. Along the way, they proceeded cautiously, not carelessly. Finally, they walked out safely.
“I’ve finally come out smoothly.” Li Qing couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief. “After walking a lot in the mountain range, you can also walk out of experience.” During this period of time, they were constantly traveling in the mountains and forests, and they were already experienced veterans.
“There shouldn’t be any danger around here, right? We can relax now.” Liu Ke’er smiled.
After walking for so many days, they looked a little embarrassed, but their spirits were pretty good. Looking at the bright sunshine and the low forest outside, he felt as if he had come to another world.
“By the way, Li Qing, didn’t you say that your family lives on the outskirts of the mountain range?” Liu Ke’er remembered and asked.
“Yes.” Li Qing sighed, “However, my home …” He did not know how to speak.
“What’s the matter?” When Liu Ke’er saw the peculiar expression on his face, she couldn’t help but ask, “Where are your parents? Why haven’t you ever mentioned them?”
Li Qing said with a sad expression, “They are all dead.”
“Ah?” ‘”Sorry, I didn’t mean to mention your sadness,” she cried out apologetically.
“It’s fine. The past is over. It’s been so long. I’m already used to it.” Li Qing smiled and said with a relaxed expression, “Actually, even if you don’t ask, I will tell you. My parents were actually killed by someone else.”
“What? Someone else killed him?” Liu Ke’er was very shocked, “What’s the situation?”
“This happened many years ago. My family lives in the Heavenly Saber Tribe. My father was originally a great hero in the tribe …” He then briefly told Liu Ke’er about his early experiences.
After hearing this, Liu Ke’er sympathized with Li Qing and said fiercely, “That Patriarch is too hateful. This kind of bad person must not be let go.”
“Of course, I can’t let him go. The reason I came back from my studies this time is to go back and take revenge and cut him into thousands of pieces!” Li Qing said with an ice-cold expression. A trace of engraved hatred flashed through his eyes.
For so many years, he had buried this matter in his heart and never mentioned it to anyone. But in his heart, he never forgot!
“Yes, I support you!” Liu Ke’er held his hand tightly, giving him warmth and tenderness.
“Come, let’s go to Heavenly Saber Tribe.” Thus, Li Qing pulled Liu Ke’er’s hand and headed in the direction of the Heavenly Saber Tribe.
…
“It’s getting closer, it’s getting closer …” Li Qing’s heart was uneasy as he trembled slightly.
After crossing a mountain, they arrived in a dense forest.
Suddenly, they heard a sound.
“Eh? Someone seems to be there.” They looked into the depths of the forest, and there was a faint flash of silhouettes, and occasional shouts could be heard from time to time.
“Let’s go take a look.” Li Qing said. The two of them walked that way.
Not far away, they quickly reached their destination, pushed open the bushes, and saw what was happening inside.
There were more than a dozen large men here. They were very tall and strong. They were all armed with weapons, bows and arrows, shields, and were wearing cloth armor. They were obviously a group of hunters. At this moment, they were standing in a row, forming a defensive formation. They were waiting in a tight formation, looking nervously in front of them as if they were facing a great enemy.
In front of them was a fierce tiger.
If it was just an ordinary tiger, it was impossible for a dozen strong men armed with weapons to be so nervous. Evidently, this was not an ordinary tiger, but a demonic beast. Furthermore, it was a low-grade demonic beast. This was because if it was an Intermediate Demonic Beast, it could easily kill these people in front of them.
This demonic tiger was extremely large and majestic. It stood quietly like this, roaring softly. Its fierce gaze swept across it, as if it was hesitating whether to launch an attack on the dozen people in front of it.
“This is a member of the Heavenly Saber Tribe!” Li Qing recognized it at a glance. He didn’t expect to meet her here so coincidentally. He also knew one of them, and he had interacted with him before.
Just as he was thinking this, the demonic tiger suddenly moved and launched an attack. Its predecessor was short, pressing its claws hard on the ground, and it suddenly pounced forward, crushing down on it like Mount Tai was crushing down on it.
This group of hunters was clearly well-trained and did not panic. They formed a defensive formation steadily and performed their respective duties.
Seeing the Demonic Tiger pouncing over, they had a tacit understanding: some of them stabbed out their spears and attacked the Demonic Tiger; A portion of them put up their shields to defend with all their might. There were also some people who shot arrows from behind, shooting at the weakness of the demonic tiger.
“Boom!”
However, this demonic beast was simply too powerful, beyond their imagination. The Demonic Tiger pounced down, smashing apart one spear after another, breaking through one shield after another, shooting arrows at the Demonic Tiger’s body without any injuries.
“What a strong defense!” They were in despair. The formation had already been disrupted by the demonic tigers, and their weapons were scattered everywhere. They no longer had much strength to resist, and the next step would be an unsuspecting massacre.
This demonic tiger’s strength was too strong. Although it was only a low-grade demonic beast, it was not much weaker than an intermediate-grade demonic beast. Just because it was a tiger, the king of all beasts!
The demonic beast’s bloodline and race had a great influence on its strength. For example, a tiger and a rabbit. The difference in strength between the demonic beasts they had evolved into was extremely large.
The Tiger Demon pounced into the crowd and was about to carry out a massacre.
