The Heavenly Saber Novel - Chapter 053

Chapter 053 Kill The Nest
After Li Qing and Liu Ke’er left the Ancient River Village, they headed towards the southeast. After walking for about a hundred miles, as expected, they saw a large black mountain appear in front of them.

“This mountain should be the Black Wind Mountain. It is indeed dark enough.” Li Qing smiled.

“I wonder where the horse thief’s nest is on the mountain.”

“It should be the most dangerous place on top of the mountain.” Li Qing guessed, “Let’s go, we’ll find out. Be careful, don’t overturn the ship in the sewer.”

After all, Black Wind Mountain was the home ground of the Horse Gang, so it was better to be careful. Moreover, this was Li Qing’s first time attacking the Horse Gang Stronghold. He didn’t have any experience and didn’t know what kind of danger he would encounter. He was also a little unsure in his heart.

Fortunately, the horse bandits of Black Wind Mountain did not know what had happened, nor did they know that Li Qing was coming to kill them, so they shouldn’t be taking extra precautions.

The two of them ascended the Black Wind Mountain. This mountain was steep, easy to defend, and difficult to attack. It was an excellent place. They began to search for traces of horse bandits and soon found some clues in the mountain. Along these tracks, they gradually arrived halfway up the mountain.

Looking around, Li Qing saw a defensive tower standing in the distance. There were a few people standing on it. Because of the distance, they did not find Li Qing.

Li Qing’s cultivation was deep, his spiritual sense was sharp, and his eyesight was astonishing. He could see things several miles away very clearly. That was why he was able to discover them from such a distance.

These guards seemed to be a little careless, bored, and very lazy.

Li Qing and Liu Ke’er walked over carefully and quickly approached like ghosts. With their strength, it was simply too easy for them not to be discovered by the enemy.

Seeing that the distance was close enough, Li Qing picked up a stone and used the same skill again. He clasped it between his fingers and bounced it out. The stone quickly shot towards the mounted bandits on the sentry tower.

“Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!” A few bandits on the sentry tower fell, and a bloody hole appeared behind them, piercing through their bodies.

These people didn’t make any sound and were killed. The surroundings were quiet. Clearly, their deaths did not alert anyone.

“Let’s go!” Without stopping, the two of them crossed the sentry tower and walked forward.

Follow the road halfway up the hill to the top. Walking along the mountain path, surrounded by dense trees, Li Qing suddenly stopped Liu Ke’er and shouted, “Be careful, there’s a trap ahead!”

They went forward to probe for a while and found that there were indeed many traps placed on the ground. It was impossible to guard against them. If someone who did not know walked on this path, they would very likely be struck. Moreover, the movements of these traps were very big. When they touched, they would make a noise, alarming the horsemen. It was extremely sinister.

Li Qing’s heart trembled, and he said, “This method really cannot be prevented. Looks like the Horse Gangsters are usually very cautious. Indeed, there is not a single person who is easy to deal with when licking blood with a knife. You need to be careful when fighting later, so as not to be overshadowed by others.”

Since they knew that there was a trap, they naturally wouldn’t be hit if they had the intention to guard against it. The road went very smoothly and soon arrived at the top of the mountain.

Next, they encountered a second sentry tower. Li Qing once again used his Finger Snapping Divine Ability to shoot them all to death.

The guards also died silently without alarming anyone.

After passing this sentry tower, there was a long and narrow mountain path. At the end of the mountain path was a large gate. Clearly, this gate was the home of the horse bandits.

Li Qing’s eyesight was very good. Looking behind the gate, he could see that it was a huge mountain stronghold. It was built by the mountain and was very dangerous. There were many sentry towers and battle fortresses built around it. They were well guarded.

The mountain path in front of him was very cleverly constructed, extremely narrow, and could only be several parallel paths. Surrounded by stone walls, there was no place to hide. Walking on it, there would be nowhere to hide, and it would be easy to discover.

One man in charge, one man in charge. If they sent troops to attack, this mountain path would be extremely difficult to break.

In the middle of the mountain path, there were horse bandits guarding the entrance. The entrance was not closed. Li Qing could see that behind the entrance was a huge martial field with horse bandits patrolling continuously.

Obviously, under such circumstances, a sneak attack would not work because there were too many people. Unless they were on another path, they could only sneak in secretly, but this was obviously unnecessary for Li Qing.

He didn’t hide anymore and walked out openly. First, he ejected a few stones and killed all the bandits in the middle of the mountain path.

This quickly alerted the guards behind them. They shouted, “There’s an enemy attack!” In an instant, the entire Black Wind Stronghold was alarmed and a group of people rushed out.

“Where is the enemy?” These people were all big-waisted, each carrying a long saber, their faces vicious, and their murderous auras faint. Li Qing could tell at a glance that they were all stained with blood and had more than one life on their hands.

How many people did this Black Wind Stronghold kill! Damn it!

“Over there!” They soon saw Li Qing and Liu Ke’er, rushing over one after another, shouting loudly like a pack of wolves.

“What a beautiful woman. Haha, good luck.” When they saw Liu Ke’er, their eyes lit up and their saliva almost fell.

“Kill that man! The woman stays behind!”

“Kill!” A group of bandits rushed forward with a fierce aura.

Li Qing’s figure flashed and he rushed into the crowd. He pulled out his Heavenly Saber and slashed it out, splitting one person in half!

He didn’t show any mercy and continued to draw his saber. With a flash of purple light, a human head landed on the ground.

There were a total of twenty to thirty people in this group, but in the blink of an eye, Li Qing had dealt with more than half of them, and one corpse after another was lying on the ground. Some of them were directly hacked to death, while others were still alive, clutching their throats and twitching, struggling to die.

The rest of them were shocked. How dare they fight again? They shouted, “Bring out the big boss!”

They turned around and ran, coming and going like the wind.

Li Qing shook his Heaven Shaking Saber, causing the blood on the saber to fall. Then, he chased after them and began to chase after them.

To him, these people were simply too weak. They were like little lambs, casually slaughtering them. He was full of vigor, killing one person with one saber strike, clean and neat. No one was his opponent with one move, and he was powerless to resist.

These people had just escaped halfway when they were completely killed by Li Qing. The bandits who were rushing over from behind had not had time to support them.

Fresh blood soaked the stone steps on the narrow mountain path. Without stopping, Li Qing rushed over the bloody path and arrived at the gate.

Someone was firing an arrow in front of the door, trying to stop Li Qing, but he used his saber to pull the arrow away.

“How dare you come to our Black Wind Stronghold to cause trouble? Aren’t you afraid of death?” A loud shout rang out, and a large army of horse bandits arrived. The Great Master and Second Master walked out with their men. Seeing that Li Qing could actually kill dozens of their experts in a short period of time, they couldn’t help but frown.

“Since I dare to come, I naturally won’t care about this.” Li Qing sneered.

“What a beautiful beauty!” When these bandits saw Liu Ke’er, they were all shocked. They couldn’t help but swallow their saliva, and their eyes revealed lust.

The big boss’s eyes seemed to be burning, and he said fanatically, “How beautiful! Brat, as long as you leave this woman behind, I can not kill you, I can let you go.”

Li Qing was furious. This group of horse bandits were actually trying to blaspheme Liu Ke’er. This was unbearable.

“Looks like you guys haven’t figured out the situation. Today, I’m going to destroy your stronghold!” Li Qing said with a gloomy expression.

‘”Annihilation Stronghold? Haha …” All the bandits laughed loudly, feeling extremely ridiculous.

“Where did this brat come from? He’s actually so arrogant!”

“Brat, you’re overestimating yourself. Let me test your skills!” The second master walked out, holding a blood-colored broadsword, as if it was soaked in blood.

Li Qing glanced at him and knew that he was an expert at the seventh level of the Houtian realm. He could be considered an expert in Dongyuan Prefecture.

“Kill!” The second master rushed over and slashed out with his saber.

Li Qing took a step forward, and with a “swoosh” sound, like a purple bolt of lightning, he swept past the Second Master’s body and arrived behind him.

The Second Master instantly stopped and did not move. The saber in his hand was still raised high, and he let out a “ho … ho …” sound. Then, he saw the man and the saber fall from his waist into two halves.

The Black Wind Mountain Stronghold’s Second Master was instantly killed like this! It was split into two!

“How is this possible?” Everyone was shocked, and their laughter stopped abruptly!

Seeing this scene, the Great Master’s expression was grave as he said, “There are two brushes, but I underestimate you.” He faintly felt that Li Qing was much more powerful than him, but it was hard to tell how strong he was.

However, in the Black Wind Stronghold, even Houtian ninth layer experts would not be able to get a good deal out of it.

He continued, “Although your strength is not bad, you are unable to defeat four fists. With so many people here, you may not be able to win. If you continue to fight, both sides will suffer. Why don’t you just retreat and leave behind some money as compensation and I will let bygones be bygones?”

The moment these words were spoken, they were actually admitting defeat. To the Horse Gangsters, this was not a disgrace, because they had always been cruel and cunning, without any credibility to speak of. Kill all the enemies if they can, but if they can’t, they will be aggrieved. This is their way of survival.

Right now, the enemy’s strength was not clear, this was the best way to deal with it.

However, Li Qing did not buy his debt. He laughed loudly and said, “If you can’t beat him, just try. In short, all of you are going to die today!”

“Since that’s the case, then I’ll have to experience your abilities.” After saying that, he shouted at his subordinates, “Someone, set up the Black Tiger Battle Formation!”

Then, thirty-six bandits walked out. They were all martial artists with cultivation. They surrounded the Great Leader and stood in a mysterious position, forming a huge battle formation.

Everyone’s zhenqi gathered together, with the Great Master as the center, connecting with each other, and gradually condensing into the phantom image of a black tiger.

This black tiger’s phantom was over ten feet long, extremely huge, lifelike, extremely agile, emitting a powerful aura.

“Since you don’t know what’s good for you, I’ll let you see how powerful I am. After I kill you, I’ll capture your woman and play around with her, hahaha …” The Great Master smiled sinisterly and said, “Since you don’t know what’s good for you, I’ll let you see how powerful I am. After I kill you, I’ll capture your woman and play around with her.”

He laughed proudly. Obviously, this Black Tiger Battle Formation gave him great confidence.
