The Heavenly Saber Novel - Chapter 076
Chapter 076 Birthday Dinner (5)
Li Qing couldn’t help but be stunned. He didn’t expect Wu Tianzhuo to want to challenge him in public.
Everyone looked at Li Qing curiously, wanting to see who it was.
“Who is this person?” Someone asked.
“I don’t know, maybe he’s just a nobody.”
Obviously, apart from the people from the big families, the others didn’t recognize Li Qing.
“He must have offended Young Master Wu. He wants to embarrass this person in front of everyone.” Someone guessed.
‘”I think Young Master Wu might have ill intentions. He wants to take revenge on this person in the competition. If he accidentally injures this person to an important position in the competition, then no one has anything to say.” Another person said.
Li Qing stood up and said, “There is no problem if you want to compete with me, but it is not suitable for this occasion.”
“What’s inappropriate? Don’t you dare to come up?” Wu Tianzhuo said disdainfully.
Li Qing shook his head and said, “I just feel that if I go on stage and defeat you, wouldn’t I have to marry the daughter of the City Lord? This is not what I want.”
Everyone was in an uproar. This person’s tone was actually so loud, not only did he feel that he could win against Wu Tianzhuo. Moreover, he didn’t want to marry the daughter of the City Lord!
To be able to marry Zhou Jintong was a blessing that could only be cultivated for countless generations, yet he was actually unwilling to marry Zhou Jintong?
Wu Tianzhuo laughed loudly, “What a joke, you can win me? Impossible.”
“How can there be a reason to win or not? If you say so, then there is no point in continuing the competition.”
Wu Tianzhuo thought for a moment and said, “This is just a private challenge from me. It has nothing to do with marriage recruitment. You can rest assured that you won’t be forced to do it.”
Hearing this, Li Qing turned to look at the City Lord of Cloud Continent. He smiled and nodded his head. He knew that he had tacitly agreed to this matter.
Since that was the case, Li Qing could rest assured that he could go up and fight. However, after thinking for a while, his heart suddenly stirred and he said, “Even so, why do I have to compete with you? I don’t want to marry the daughter of the City Lord. Winning won’t do me any good. If I lose, I’ll lose face greatly. Only an idiot can compete with you.”
“Do you dare to come up or not? Tell me all the other conditions.” Wu Tianzhuo was very impatient.
Li Qing said, “How about this, your Wu Clan is a jade artifact clan. They should have white jade marrow, right? If I win against you, you will give me ten portions of white jade marrow. How about it?”
“White chalcedony?” Wu Tianzhuo was a little puzzled, “I can’t decide this matter, I need to ask.”
He looked at the Wu Clan’s Clan Master, as if he was waiting for the Clan Master’s opinion.
The Wu Clan’s Clan Head frowned. He felt that Wu Tianzhuo was really causing trouble. He had clearly won, but he still had to challenge others. Although he was very confident in his son’s strength, it was inevitable that something unexpected would happen.
He thought for a moment and said, “Ten portions is too much. Impossible! Three portions at most.”
“Alright then, let’s have three of them.” Li Qing agreed straightforwardly, and he was secretly delighted in his heart. This Wu Tianzhuo is really a good person. To actually give him three sets of white chalcedony is an unexpected harvest.
The Wu Clan’s Clan Master was stunned. He didn’t expect Li Qing to agree so straightforwardly. He thought that he wanted to bargain.
Li Qing stopped talking nonsense and walked to the center of the arena.
Wu Tianzhuo looked coldly at Li Qing and said, “If I accidentally crippled you in the competition, then no one can say anything.”
Li Qing looked at him indifferently and sighed, “Sigh, there are so many idiots in this world! You’ve obviously won the tournament, so why are you challenging me and humiliating yourself?”
“What a joke! Do you think you can beat me?” Wu Tianzhuo felt that it was very ridiculous. Did this person not recognize the difference between the two?
“Isn’t it enough to give it a try?” Li Qing shrugged.
“Since that’s the case, then I’ll fulfill your wish! Die!” Wu Tianzhuo’s sword pierced out, turning into a streak of azure light that was as fast as lightning, as if it could pierce through space.
In his rage, he felt that he had stabbed out the most perfect sword of his life. This sword was so fast, so accurate, and so ruthless!
The azure sword light attached to the tip of the sword seemed to be able to tear apart everything in front of him!
He saw that Li Qing was still so careless that he didn’t even take out his weapon! Seeing that the sword was already in front of his opponent, he stretched out his two fingers and tried to grab the sword.
“Stupid! You actually want to grab my perfect sword with two fingers?” Wu Tianzhuo sneered. He knew that he had already won. He seemed to be able to foresee that in the next moment, this sword would pierce through Li Qing’s finger and pierce into his chest!
However, the result was beyond everyone’s expectations. Li Qing’s two fingers firmly gripped the sword and did not move at all!
Wu Tianzhuo’s body trembled and he was forced to stop. He was greatly shocked and forcefully pulled out. However, Li Qing’s fingers were like iron, firmly gripping the sword.
“It can’t be?” Wu Tianzhuo found it hard to believe. One had to know that Lin Tiangong had tried to grab this slender sword with his hand before, but Wu Tianzhuo had easily pulled it out and injured his opponent’s hand.
But now, with just two fingers, he was actually able to accomplish this?
Unimaginable! How powerful was this power? Or perhaps, could it be that Li Qing had practiced this kind of finger technique and was able to clamp his weapon with his bare hands?
Wu Tianzhuo no longer had time to think about this, because Li Qing had moved.
His fingers lightly trembled, and a terrifying power erupted, sending Wu Tianzhuo flying. Only a sword was left between Li Qing’s fingers, and he casually threw it on the ground.
How much strength should 14,000 jin be? His movements were extremely powerful. Not to mention Li Qing’s cultivation at the ninth level of the Houtian realm, if they were added together, they would be several times stronger than Wu Tianzhuo!
Wu Tianzhuo looked at Li Qing’s casual appearance and became furious. He took out a treasured sword from his interspatial ring and stabbed it at Li Qing again.
However, the result was still the same. This sword was gently caught by Li Qing, and it shook again, sending Wu Tianzhuo flying.
There were no intense battles, only the suppression of strength. However, the feeling it gave everyone was extremely shocking.
Wu Tianzhuo was already the strongest of the Houtian realm martial artists, but such a strong person was actually beaten by Li Qing without any ability to retaliate.
“This person’s strength should be more than ten thousand jin, right?” Someone guessed.
“Definitely. Just that Lin Tiangong alone would probably weigh 6,000 to 7,000 jin. If that person didn’t weigh 10,000 jin, I definitely wouldn’t believe it.”
‘”Where did this guy come from? He’s actually so abnormal. Tonight’s competition was really wonderful. I originally thought that Wu Tianzhuo was already the strongest, but in front of this person, it’s not enough to watch.”
Wu Tianzhuo felt a deep sense of powerlessness. He felt as if he was facing an opponent one level higher than him. It was completely desperate.
He couldn’t help but feel a little regretful. He had clearly won just now, so why did he challenge Li Qing? Wasn’t this nothing?
Now it’s alright. He lost to Li Qing, and he even lost so unsightly. He lost face in front of everyone. Will the City Lord of Yunzhou choose him as his son-in-law?
“No, I can’t admit defeat so quickly!” Wu Tianzhuo’s eyes were scarlet red. He gritted his teeth and took out another treasured sword from his spatial ring. This was his last one. If he lost it again, it would be gone.
“The Tai Hao Sword Scripture is all-encompassing. Not only does it contain Tai Hao Sword Qi, it also contains 36 Tai Hao Sword Techniques. The power of the first three sword techniques is too weak to pose a threat to you. However, today, I will use my fourth sword technique to defeat you with all my might!” He said with a ferocious expression.
“Take my move, the fourth stance of the Tai Hao Sword Technique, Green Lotus!”
He raised his sword high up and slashed it out. The sword qi was released and interweaved in the void, forming a green lotus. With a destructive aura, it flew towards Li Qing.
“Haha, I succeeded! Let’s see how you take this move from me!” He laughed wildly.
Li Qing felt threatened. This green lotus was too mysterious. He had to be serious.
Thus, he took out the treasured saber from his interspatial ring.
Of course, this was just an ordinary treasured saber, not a Heavenly Saber. After all, in front of so many people, especially experts of the Cloud Province City Lord level, he couldn’t expose the Heavenly Saber to avoid being seen through by him.
“Blazing Flames Burning the Heavens!” Li Qing slashed out with his saber, transforming into a powerful Inferno Berserk Saber that slashed towards the green lotus formed from sword qi.
“Boom!” With a wave of his hand, Yun Zhou City Lord calmed down.
With Li Qing’s strength, how powerful would he be if he used such a terrifying saber move?
At the very least, with Wu Tianzhuo’s strength, he was completely unable to withstand it. Even though his Blue Lotus Sword was extremely mysterious, the foundation was placed there, and it was impossible for it to go against the heavens.
As a result, when the aftershocks dissipated, everyone could see that Wu Tianzhuo had already fallen to the ground, his entire body charred black, as if he had been burned by a blazing flame.
Of course, he wasn’t dead yet. With his strength, he wouldn’t die so easily.
He was badly wounded and burned all over his body, making him look very ugly.
The Wu Clan’s Clan Master hurriedly came to the arena and inspected Wu Tianzhuo’s situation. Seeing that there was no danger to his life, he couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief. With the financial resources of the Wu Clan, they could completely cure him.
However, he was still very angry. He said to Li Qing, “Your attack is too heavy! You actually wanted to kill someone in the martial arts competition. Your heart is so vicious.”
“This is his own fault. My move is considered light. Do you know that he said he wanted to cripple me in the competition?” Li Qing sneered.
“If you get a bargain, you can still act obediently. Fight a target. People like you are really hopeless!” “City Lord, in order to maintain order and peace in Yunzhou City, I request that this person be severely punished and his limbs cut off, so as not to cause trouble for the world again!” The Wu Clan’s Clan Master revealed a sad expression.
Everyone’s expressions were a little strange. Although they all knew that the Wu Clan’s Clan Master was trying to reason things out, they were also aristocratic clans, so it was not good for them to tear him apart like this.
“Oh? Li Qing is my junior brother. Are you sure you want to break his limbs?” The Yunzhou City Lord’s expression was gloomy as he said coldly, “Oh? Li Qing is my junior brother. Are you sure you want to break his limbs?”
“What? Little Junior Brother?” The Wu Clan’s Clan Head’s expression changed, and he felt that the situation was not good. Obviously, he didn’t know that not long ago, the Yunzhou City Lord had just recognized Li Qing as his junior apprentice-brother, and the news hadn’t spread out yet.
Everyone was in an uproar. They didn’t expect this person’s background to be so great. He was the younger junior brother of the City Lord of Yunzhou. This time, the Wu Clan’s Clan Head had really kicked the iron plate.
“Haha, I was just joking.” The Wu Clan’s Clan Chief laughed and changed his face quickly. “Speaking of which, City Lord, why do you have such a little junior brother? I’ve never heard of him before.”
“Li Qing is Liu shi’s disciple. Naturally, he is my junior apprentice-brother.”
“So it’s Old Master Liu’s disciple.” Everyone understood. This background is really not small ah, who dares to touch Old Master Liu’s disciple? In Cloud Continent City, other than Cloud Continent City Master, no one else was Elder Liu’s match.
He alone could crush all the great clans present.
Li Qing chuckled and said, “Since Patriarch Wu is joking, then this matter is over. Let’s talk about business. When will you give me the three sets of white jade essence you promised?”
The Wu Clan Master’s expression was as ugly as if he had eaten a fly. This time, he had really lost both his husband and his men. He glared at Li Qing hatefully, took out three small porcelain bottles from his interspatial ring, threw them to Li Qing, and then left with Wu Tianzhuo.
Li Qing grinned. He opened the porcelain bottle and checked it. After confirming that it was correct, he put it back into his interspatial ring and happily left the arena.
“Hey, wait, why did you leave like this?” Zhou Jintong suddenly shouted.
Li Qing turned around and asked doubtfully, “Why should I stay if I’m not leaving?”
“You won the competition, of course you can’t leave. Who will marry me if you leave?” Zhou Jintong revealed a rare shy smile.
