The Heavenly Saber Novel - Chapter 045
Chapter 045 Meet Enemies
More than ten years had passed, and the Heavenly Saber Clan’s Clan Chief looked even older. His face was covered in wrinkles, and his beard was white.
The girl sitting opposite him was his granddaughter!
Zaro wasn’t the only son of the Heavenly Saber Clan’s Clan Chief. He also had a daughter, but he had already married into a woman.
Ever since Zarro’s death, he had pinned his hopes on his daughter, hoping to give birth to a grandson for him. In the end, her stomach was not full of confidence. After more than ten years, she only gave birth to a granddaughter, which made him extremely angry.
Even now, there was nothing he could do about it. This granddaughter in front of him could be considered the only child left in the three generations of his family, so she naturally doted on him a lot. He transferred all his love for Zarro to this granddaughter.
At this moment, he took out a jade box and gently opened it. Inside was a blood-red fruit.
Li Qing immediately recognized that this fruit was the Blood Origin Fruit! Judging from its color, it was at least a hundred years old.
“Blood Primordial Fruit! Could it be that one?” He suddenly thought of a lot. His father was indirectly killed by a Blood Essence Fruit!
Back then, the Heavenly Saber Clan’s Clan Chief discovered a hundred-year-old Blood Essence Fruit in the Lianyun Mountain Range and attempted to pick it. As a result, the demonic beast guarding the fruit attacked the tribe and suffered heavy casualties. Because of this, Li Qing’s father died in battle and was framed by the patriarch, becoming a sinner of the tribe!
The demonic beast was seriously injured by his father and was finally surrounded and killed. Without a doubt, the Patriarch must have obtained the Blood Primordial Fruit!
“In that case, the one in front of us is very likely the one from back then.” If the Blood Essence Fruit was properly preserved, it could be preserved for many years. Li Qing did not believe that the other party would be so lucky to obtain two consecutive pills! And it’s on the outskirts of the mountain range.
The little girl asked, “Grandpa, what kind of fruit is this? It’s so beautiful.”
The Heavenly Saber Clan’s Clan Chief said with a kind gaze, “This fruit is called the Blood Origin Fruit. It was obtained in my early years and has been preserved until now. I originally intended to leave it for Zarro to eat, but he died early and has been preserving it.”
Thinking of this, his heart ached and tears streamed down his cheeks.
In fact, this Blood Essence Fruit was intended to be given to Zarro when he was fifteen years old. Unfortunately, Heaven’s Will had played tricks on people. When Zarro was fifteen years old, Zarro was killed by Li Qing before the Heavenly Saber Clan’s Clan Chief could do it!
It was just a little too close! If he had eaten this fruit for Zarro a few days earlier, Zarro’s strength would have greatly increased and he might not have died. Every time he thought of this, he would regret it.
“So it really is that Blood Essence Fruit.” When Li Qing heard the patriarch’s words, how could he not understand? He thought to himself, “This blood essence pellet should have been my father’s spoils of war, but that old thief still hasn’t eaten it yet. It seems that there is a will of heaven in the dark to let it return to its original owner!”
Thinking of this, a cold light flashed in Li Qing’s eyes and he was about to snatch the Blood Origin Fruit.
At this moment, the Patriarch spoke again, “Now that you are fifteen years old, eat this Blood Essence Fruit. It will greatly increase your strength.”
Hearing this, Li Qing’s heart stirred, but he stopped.
“You want to give this girl the Blood Primordial Fruit?” He smiled coldly.
No one knew more about the medicinal power of the Blood Essence Fruit than he did, because he had already eaten it himself, and it took him a lot of effort to digest the energy within it. If this girl is given food, she will die without a doubt. Because the medicinal power of the Blood Origin Fruit was too tyrannical, she simply could not digest it and would explode to death!
The Heavenly Saber Clan’s Clan Chief was not knowledgeable enough, how could he have thought of this level? He thought that if he ate it, his strength would increase dramatically without any side effects, but he didn’t know that doing so would only personally kill his granddaughter.
Thinking of this, Li Qing did not want to snatch it. If this girl died in front of the Heavenly Saber Clan’s Clan Chief, he would surely feel extremely sad, right?
“This time, I will also let you experience the pain of your loved ones dying in front of you!” A cold smile appeared on Li Qing’s face. It was extremely cruel.
His eyes turned pale purple, without the slightest emotion fluctuation. His expression was indifferent and he was ready to watch the show.
Liu Ke’er looked at Li Qing’s cold expression from the side and couldn’t help but feel a little scared. The feeling Li Qing gave her in front of her was too unfamiliar. It was as if she was a different person, blinded by hatred.
…
Inside the room, the Heavenly Saber Patriarch urged, “Hurry up and eat it.”
“Alright!” The girl didn’t doubt it, picked up the Blood Essence Fruit, and bit it down in one bite.
The fruit was not big, and she quickly finished it. Not long after, he felt as if there was a ball of flame burning in his stomach. A huge amount of energy was running around his body, extremely painful.
“It’s so hot!” Her forehead was sweating and her face was red, like a cooked shrimp.
The Heavenly Saber Patriarch’s expression changed as he said, “Hurry up and cultivate the physique technique I taught you! Absorb the energy within!”
The girl hurriedly stood up and began to cultivate the Heavenly Saber Tribe’s ancestral body technique. In Li Qing’s opinion, this body refining technique was simply too simple, too crude, far inferior to the Purple Sun Fist.
But at least it worked. After practicing for a while, she felt that the energy in her body had calmed down slightly, digested a portion of the energy, and her strength had also increased. The Patriarch heaved a sigh of relief when he saw this.
However, it was clear that he was happy too early.
The energy produced by the Blood Essence Fruit was simply too great. This body technique was too crude, and its effects weren’t very good. It could only digest a portion of the energy, while the rest of the energy was still running around in its body.
“It hurts!” The girl only lasted for a while before she was unable to continue cultivating and rolled on the ground in pain.
The remaining energy was like a surging torrent, unable to be controlled. It wanted to tear apart her meridians and explode her body.
“Qing’er, Qing’er, how are you?” The Heavenly Saber Clan Chief shouted anxiously.
“Grandfather, it hurts so much.” The girl was sweating like rain and shouting painfully. Her consciousness was a little blurry.
The situation was extremely critical!
“How could this be?” The Patriarch was in a panic. He couldn’t understand, “Could this Blood Essence Fruit be bad? It’s been too long, it’s expired?”
However, it was useless to think of this. The most urgent thing was to think of a way to save her.
“How do I save her? How do I save her?” He was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. However, he had never experienced such a situation before, so he had no choice but to watch the girl struggle painfully, his heart cutting like a knife, tears rolling down his cheeks.
He cried out in great pain and despair, “No–why is it like this? God, why are you so cruel!”
…
Li Qing was watching this good show from outside. He was very happy and revealed a cruel smile, “Hehe, you’ve finally tasted this kind of pain, right? Next, you can watch your granddaughter explode to death. Haha…”
Liu Ke’er finally couldn’t help but gently patted Li Qing’s shoulder and said, “Li Qing, what happened to you?”
“What is it?” He turned around and said coldly.
Liu Ke’er took a step back and whispered, “Li Qing, don’t be like this, okay? You look so scary now.”
“Am I so scary?” Li Qing was stunned and looked at Liu Ke’er. Her eyes were filled with fear and estrangement, as if she was looking at a stranger. He couldn’t help but feel a pain in his heart.
It was as if lightning had pierced through the darkness. Li Qing woke up like a dream, and the purple color in his eyes slowly faded away.
“How could this be?” He was stunned and muttered to himself, “How could this be … Why did I become so cold-blooded just now?”
He couldn’t help but break out in cold sweat. If not for Liu Ke’er’s reminder, he might have done something crazy.
Of course, revenge was fine, but he definitely couldn’t be reduced to a devil.
After a long time, he took a deep breath and finally regained his calm. He whispered, “Sorry, I lost my composure just now.”
Liu Ke’er comforted, “It’s fine. You’re just blinded by hatred. It’s fine if you wake up.” Her gaze turned to the room, revealing a trace of unbearability. She said, “That girl is so pitiful. Shall we go save her?”
“Save her?” Li Qing hesitated for a moment before struggling in his heart. Was it really good to save the enemy’s granddaughter?
Save or not? That’s a problem.
Seeing the reluctance in Li Qing’s heart, Liu Ke’er advised, “Grandpa once said that you should be an upright person, right?”
“Yes, I want to be an upright person.” Li Qing remembered what Elder Liu had said to him the day he accepted him as his disciple. A trace of shame flashed through his eyes.
“Is what I’m doing right now honest?” He asked himself. “There is a cause for grievances, and there is a master for debts. I’ll just seek revenge from the Heavenly Saber Clan’s Clan Chief. Why would I want to kill innocent people?”
Liu Ke’er gently held his hand and encouraged, “Go save her.”
“Alright.” Li Qing nodded, then pushed open the door and walked in.
The enemy was finally about to meet!
