The Heavenly Saber Novel - Chapter 135

Chapter 135 Pursue Relentlessly
Speaking of which, a Demon King was born out of the demons. His strength was terrifying. He chased after Li Qing and Liu Ke’er like a stray dog and fled hastily. He was almost trapped several times. Fortunately, he managed to break out of the encirclement at the last moment.

Li Qing’s running speed was very fast. After all, apart from his Qi Refining cultivation, he also had a terrifying strength. The greater the strength, the faster the speed would be.

Therefore, although there were a large number of demons surrounding him from all directions, they were still unable to catch up to him and were successfully escaped by the two of them.

However, the next few days would not be easy for them. The reason for that was because the demons had been chasing after them relentlessly, never giving up, as if they would never give up until they killed these two humans.

Every time they threw away the demon tide and stopped to rest, the demon would take advantage of this period of time to secretly surge over from all directions. It was like a cowskin medicine, unable to be thrown away no matter how hard it was.

For three consecutive days, they had been chasing after each other like this, and they didn’t have a single moment of rest. They were extremely tired.

If they stopped, they would die. They could only be forced to flee for their lives.

Although a martial artist was energetic and in excellent health, it was not a problem for him to be able to stay awake for a few days. However, this did not mean that they would not be tired. If this continued, their spirits would definitely be dragged down.

On the way to escape, Liu Ke’er couldn’t help but ask angrily, “What happened to these demons? Why are they always able to track us with such precision?”

“I’m not sure.” Li Qing shook his head with a tired expression. “Demons don’t have eyes or ears. Perhaps they have some special methods, such as tracking us by discovering the aura of life. Perhaps in this dark world, we humans are as bright as the sun. It’s hard to not be discovered.”

“Then what should we do now? I feel so tired, I can’t hold on any longer!” Liu Ke’er said dejectedly.

Li Qing looked at her tired appearance with distress. After thinking for a while, he said, “I’ll carry you on my back. My body is stronger and I can hold on.”

“How can that be? If that’s the case, you’ll die of exhaustion.” Liu Ke’er shook her head firmly.

Li Qing saw that her attitude was firm. He thought for a moment and came up with another idea, “How about this, we take turns to carry it. This way, we can let one person rest. When that person has finished resting, he can change his back.”

Liu Ke’er’s eyes lit up. She thought it was a good idea and said, “Will the demon catch up with her if she does that?” Although a martial artist’s strength was strong and it wasn’t too difficult to run with one person on his back, his speed would definitely decrease.

Li Qing said, “The speed of the demons isn’t really fast. It’s just that they always come from all directions, which makes it difficult to escape. As long as we leave early, there shouldn’t be any problem.”

“Alright then, this is the only way.” Liu Ke’er nodded in agreement.

Li Qing happily said, “It’s settled. I’ll carry you first. The demon will catch up soon. Hurry up.”

Liu Ke’er immediately jumped onto Li Qing’s back and hugged him tightly.

Li Qing immediately started running with Liu Ke’er on his back.

She pressed her body tightly against Li Qing’s back and gently leaned her head against his shoulder. Although it was a little bumpy, she felt incomparably at ease and her heart was calm.

She was already extremely tired, and her spirit had reached its limit. Just as she closed her eyes, she fell into a deep sleep. It was unknown how long she had slept in this sleep.

When she woke up, she found that Li Qing was still running with her on his back. She raised her head and asked, “How long have you been running?”

Li Qing panted and replied, “It shouldn’t be long. It should only be about an hour. You should continue sleeping for a while.”

“I feel sleepy enough. Let’s trade. Let me carry you.”

“No need. You’ve only slept for such a short period of time. It’s definitely not enough. Sleep a little longer. I can still hold on.” Li Qing gritted his teeth and said.

“Alright then.” Liu Ke’er obediently continued to fall asleep.

After an unknown amount of time, she woke up again, feeling refreshed and energetic. Seeing that Li Qing was still running, he asked, “How long has it been since I ran? Is it my turn to carry you this time?”

“Not much. It’s only been an hour. You don’t want to sleep for a while?” Li Qing’s voice sounded very tired.

“Two hours?” Liu Ke’er couldn’t help but feel a little puzzled. She felt that she had been asleep for a long time. How could this be?

She was naturally intelligent. Seeing Li Qing sweating profusely, she immediately noticed that something was wrong and said, “You lied to me! You lied to me for more than an hour, didn’t you?”

“It only took two hours.” Li Qing replied without changing his expression.

“Hmph, if you continue to lie to me like this, I will ignore you!”

“Alright, it’s only been two hours.” Li Qing smiled bitterly, “You can tell.”

“It’s only been two hours? I don’t believe it! Quickly tell me the truth.” Liu Ke’er was very shrewd and unyielding.

“Uh… Well, it’s actually only half a day. It’s not that long. I just want you to sleep a little longer.” Li Qing stammered and finally gave an honest explanation.

Liu Ke’er immediately jumped off his back and reproached him, “Judging from your appearance, you still haven’t told the truth. I think it has been at least ten hours since you added up two times, right? How can you do this? You are obviously tired, but you are still trying to hold on? If something happens to me, what should I do?”

As she spoke, she began to shed tears.

Li Qing comforted, “Alright, it’s not a big deal. I’m strong, so it’s not a problem for me to persevere for a long time. Don’t you see that I’m still alive and kicking now?”

Liu Ke’er looked at Li Qing for a while and found that his face was filled with exhaustion and his eyes were bloodshot. Obviously, he was exhausted to the extreme. He was clearly just forcefully holding on. How could he have the slightest bit of vigor and vitality?

She knew that Li Qing was doing this out of kindness. She wanted to let her sleep for a while longer, and the relationship between them loved her. However, her heart was filled with warmth and sweetness. She reached out and gently wiped the sweat off his face, reprimanding him softly, “You fellow, you can’t be so brave in the future. We were originally one, and we lived and died together. I don’t want you to do such a foolish thing, okay?”

Li Qing nodded without hesitation.

“Alright, now it’s my turn to carry you.” Liu Ke’er said with a straight face.

“Alright then.” Li Qing nodded, “If you’re tired of running, you can stop and rest for a while. But remember, don’t stay in one place for too long to avoid being surrounded by demons.”

With that, he jumped onto Liu Ke’er’s back, tilted his head, and fell asleep.

Liu Ke’er ran with Li Qing on her back. She could feel his breathing by her ears, and she felt her heart was filled to the brim. She couldn’t help but recall the time when she had run away with Li Qing on her back. At that time, in order to avoid Xu Haoyang’s pursuit, the two of them had fled for over a thousand miles.

It was an unforgettable day. Everything was so familiar. Since they were able to escape successfully last time, they would definitely have no problem this time. They would definitely be able to walk out alive.

After a period of time, Li Qing woke up. He felt a little clearer and was no longer unconscious. He asked, “How long have I been asleep?”

“About two hours.” Liu Ke’er replied.

Li Qing immediately jumped down and smiled, “One hour? You want to lie to me too? I won’t get hit.”

Liu Ke’er said unhappily, “It really was an hour! I’m not lying to you.”

“Really?” Li Qing was a little suspicious and said, “I feel like I’ve been asleep for a long time. Alright, I feel like I’ve almost recovered. Now it’s my turn to carry you.”

After saying that, she recited Liu Ke’er’s words recklessly, regardless of whether she agreed or not.

“Aiya, why are you like this!” Liu Ke’er cursed and punched him a few times. She shouted, “It’s really an hour. I’m not lying to you!”

Li Qing ignored it and just lowered his head and ran forward.

Liu Ke’er had no choice but to obey and gently lean her head on Li Qing’s shoulder. The corner of her mouth inadvertently revealed a trace of happiness.

In the end, her body was a bit weaker than Li Qing’s. She did not possess any stronger strength than Li Qing. Thus, although she had only run for an hour, she was still a little tired. She fell asleep once she leaned against her head.

…

For the next few days, the two of them took turns carrying each other on their backs, fleeing for their lives. They didn’t dare to stay for a moment, and finally, they were no longer trapped by the demons.

However, the demon was still chasing after them relentlessly, refusing to give up and chasing the two of them away with rats in his arms.

Li Qing’s physical strength was even greater, so he always thought of a way to carry Liu Ke’er for a period of time, regardless of whether she agreed or not, sometimes he directly picked her up.

Liu Ke’er’s resistance was ineffective, so she could only obediently let him carry her, but her heart was warm.

In this dangerous situation, the two of them depended on each other, and their relationship became even deeper.

A few days later, while Li Qing was running away with Liu Ke’er on his back, he saw a huge blurry outline in front of him.

“Eh, what is that?” He couldn’t help but ask.

Hearing this, Liu Ke’er lifted her head from his back and saw a huge black silhouette in the distance. It was like a huge mountain that stood in front of them. It was very blurry in the darkness and could not be seen clearly.
