The Heavenly Saber Novel - Chapter 165

Chapter 165 Four Skills Stunning
The next day, the guest ceremony was held as scheduled.

The Su Mansion was decorated with lanterns and colorful lights. A number of guests arrived one after another to attend the important ceremony.

Under the guidance of the servants in the manor, the guests who came here entered the main hall of Su Mansion and sat down at the corresponding seats.

Although Jiangyuan City was small in size and population, there were many clans of various sizes, dozens of them.

All of these clans had received City Lord Su’s invitation. Naturally, they did not dare to disobey the orders of the only Xiantian expert in Jiangyuan City. No matter what, they would send people to participate. They did not dare to neglect him at all.

Of course, they were also very curious in their hearts. They wanted to see who this newly promoted guest Qing of the Su Clan was, where he came from, and why they had never heard of such a person before.

Along with the passage of time, the guests had basically arrived. They were all sitting in the grand hall of the Su Clan, bustling with hundreds of people. Looking at the scene, it could be considered grand.

Not long after, a loud and long announcement sounded, “The City Lord is here–”

As the long-tailed word “arrive” fell, everyone in the arena quieted down and looked up.

Amidst their expectations, City Lord Jiang Yuan walked in wearing a brocade robe. Behind him was a group of people, and Li Qing was amazingly among them.

He silently followed behind, his expression indifferent. Under the gaze of many experts, he did not have the slightest stage fright. After all, he had seen so many big scenes before, so how could he take such a small scene seriously?

“Isn’t this the new Guest Protector? Why is he so young?” Soon, someone could tell.

After all, there was only Li Qing, this new face. Who else could there be besides him?

“That’s right, it should be him. He looks like a twenty-year-old young man. How strong can such a young fellow be?” Someone said with disdain.

Li Qing was almost thirty years old now, but after being modified by the Demon Ancestor, he had turned into a perfect body. He looked like a twenty-year-old boy instead.

Actually, to a martial artist, 30 years old was considered young. If he could break through to the Xiantian realm, then it would be even more exaggerated. With a lifespan of 200 years, then 30 years was simply the beginning of his life.

“Looking at his cultivation aura, it feels like he’s at the fifth or sixth level of the Houtian realm. How could he be so weak?” Many people couldn’t help but laugh secretly. They felt that the Su Clan was too ridiculous.

“Eh, that’s really the case. Too weak. How can such a person be the guest of the Su Manor?”

Everyone was discussing with Li Qing, pointing and pointing at him without any courtesy. He had heard all of them, but he didn’t take it seriously.

After experiencing so many great events and experiencing so many life and death tribulations, his heart had long since become like a rock, becoming calm and heavy.

When he reached the top seat, City Lord Su turned around and cupped his hands to everyone. He loudly said, “Thank you all for coming to my Su Clan’s Guest Qing Ceremony. Next to him is the main character of this ceremony, the person who will soon be the Su Clan’s Guest Qing. His name is Li Qing!”

Everyone applauded and looked at Li Qing.

Li Qing cupped his hands and said, “I, Li Qing, greet all of you. Thank you, City Lord, for your kindness and for bestowing me the position of Guest Minister. I am truly ashamed of myself.”

City Lord Su smiled and said, “Li Qing is definitely worthy of being the guest of the Su Clan this time. Although he is still young, his strength is not weak. I’m sure that apart from me, no one else here will be his match! He can be said to be the second strongest person in Jiangyuan City.”

“What? So powerful!” Everyone was shocked. They didn’t expect that City Lord Jiang Yuan would have such a high opinion of this young man.

“You can’t be bragging, right? How could a Houtian fifth or sixth layer martial artist be the second strongest in Jiangyuan City?” Someone muttered to himself.

At this time, an old man walked out of the Su Clan and said, “Patriarch, if this young man is really as powerful as you said, then he deserves to be the guest minister. However…”

“Just what?” City Lord Su asked knowingly.

“However, seeing is believing, and hearing is false. We have never seen how powerful this person is, so we need to test his strength again to avoid being deceived.” The old man stated his opinion directly without any hesitation.

Li Qing had already received City Lord Su’s notice that someone would come to test his strength today. He nodded and said, “This is a reasonable move. I agree. How do you want to test your strength?”

“We have sent a Houtian Tenth Layer martial artist to compete with you. If you can defeat your opponent in a short period of time, it will prove that your strength is definitely formidable.” The old man said a simple method.

“Sure! It’s settled like this.”

“Alright, it’s really straightforward.” The old man clapped his hands and laughed. Then, he shouted, “Where is Commander Zhang?”

“Zhang Tao is here!” Commander Zhang stepped forward.

“I’ll leave it to you to compete with Li Qing.” The old man said.

“Yes.” Commander Zhang nodded. This person was precisely the one who had protected Su Jingxiang in the Misty Forest, and his strength was considered outstanding in Jiangyuan City.

The old man added, “Li Qing, let me make one point clear. Not only do you have to defeat Commander Zhang, you also have to defeat him in a short period of time. Otherwise, how can you show your strength as the second strongest person in Jiangyuan City?”

“No problem!” Facing this harsh condition, Li Qing did not get angry and agreed without hesitation.

Everyone watched all of this with great interest. They didn’t expect that the people from the Su Clan would actually make things difficult for their guest elders. They started to fight each other at this ceremony. It was really funny.

However, Li Qing had agreed so readily. Could it be that he really had real materials?

We’ll see.

Li Qing and Commander Zhang walked into the arena. The two of them cupped their fists and bowed to each other.

“Let’s begin!” The old man shouted.

Following this order, the two of them moved at the same time, launching an attack on their opponent.

“Swoosh!”

Li Qing’s movements were incredibly fast as if he had transformed into an illusion. Before Commander Zhang could react, he instantly struck him in the chest and sent him flying.

Commander Zhang was shot out of the hall like a cannonball. He didn’t know where he had gone.

The battle ended instantly.

‘”This” Everyone was dumbfounded and couldn’t help but rub their eyes, wondering if they were hallucinating.

They didn’t even see what was going on. They only felt a flash of silhouette, and then Commander Zhang had disappeared.

Li Qing stood there indifferently, his hands hanging down, as if he had never made a move before.

Aside from City Lord Su, no one present could see clearly how Li Qing attacked.

Because their speed was too fast, with their strength, they couldn’t see clearly!

City Lord Su was also extremely shocked. Li Qing’s attack speed was simply too fast. It was simply inconceivable, as if he was even faster than him.

Powerful explosive power! Even an Innate expert like him would be overshadowed.

One had to know that City Lord Su was already a Xiantian 3-dan expert. He was very powerful, and even ruling a city couldn’t do this. Could Li Qing be stronger than him?

“What a pleasant surprise.” He thought to himself.

After a while, Commander Zhang walked in from outside the door. His body was not injured. He hugged Li Qing and said, “I lost! Thank you, Protector Li, for showing mercy.”

“Make way.” Li Qing also bowed. Commander Zhang seemed to be an upright person. He was neither arrogant nor discouraged after defeat. There was not the slightest bit of frustration or anger on his face.

City Lord Su asked with concern, “Commander Zhang, are you hurt?”

Commander Zhang replied, “Even though I was sent flying by the powerful force, I was not injured. The moment I landed, it was clear that Protector Li was showing mercy. His control of power was truly shocking!”

“That’s good. Do you have any doubts about the outcome of this competition?” City Lord Su looked around.

“Nothing.” The old man’s expression was a little awkward. He said sincerely, “The City Lord’s eyes are as sharp as the moment. This old man’s eyes are blind to Mount Tai, and I almost misunderstood Protector Li. He really deserves to die!”

“It doesn’t matter. Tell these things clearly and fairly in public. Everyone will no longer have doubts in their hearts. They will no longer have doubts in their hearts in the future.” City Lord Su smiled and said, “Actually, Li Qing is not only strong, he is also an alchemist!”

“What? Pharmacist!” Everyone was shocked.

‘”Li Qing is a low-grade alchemist. He has refined low-grade pills. I have personally witnessed this matter and cannot falsify it. Therefore, this post of Guest Minister of Defense is somewhat wronged. Everyone, please don’t doubt him any longer.”

“He’s really powerful. He’s so powerful, and he’s also an alchemist. No wonder the Su Clan wants to set up this guest position to recruit him.” Everyone was discussing.

At this moment, everyone’s gazes towards Li Qing had undergone an earth-shattering change.
