The Heavenly Saber Novel - Chapter 166
Chapter 166 Uninvited Guest
Everyone’s gazes at Li Qing instantly changed, filled with reverence.
They were puzzled in their hearts, “This person is young and possesses such powerful strength. Furthermore, he is an alchemist. He is definitely a genius. He is comparable to a core disciple of a large sect. Why did he come to such a small place like Jiangyuan City?”
Jiangyuan City only had hundreds of thousands of people. Its scale was large, and its history was not long. It was located at the border of Jingzhou. In general, it was a desolate country.
Even if there was a powerful existence passing by, it wouldn’t stay here for too long and would leave very soon.
Because such a small place was not worth them stopping at.
However, now, Li Qing, a formidable genius, had agreed to serve as the Su Clan’s guest guardian. This meant that he was already closely linked to the Su Clan and would stay in Jiangyuan City for a period of time.
What exactly attracted him to Jiangyuan City? This puzzled everyone.
When City Lord Su saw everyone’s reverent expressions, he could not help but nod his head in satisfaction, “Since everyone no longer doubts Li Qing’s strength, then from today onwards, he will be a guest of our Su Clan!”
“Greetings, Li Qing!” Everyone cupped their hands and bowed, their expressions becoming extremely solemn, no longer as casual as before.
Li Qing also returned the greetings one by one. He was very polite and clasped his glasses with the guests. He was extremely harmonious, and everyone in the arena was laughing and laughing happily.
Suddenly, a burst of laughter came from outside the door, “Hahaha–your Su Clan hired a guest elder. Why didn’t you inform us of such an important matter?”
As he laughed, he saw a group of people rushing in from outside the hall. They were very impolite.
Around them, a group of Su Family guards were trying to stop them from barging in, but they were unable to do so.
This group of people rushed in, and dozens of powerful martial artists instantly appeared in the hall. They emitted a powerful aura, and their expressions were extremely arrogant, appearing to be careless.
“So it’s an honored guest from Yu Tian City!” City Lord Su said solemnly.
Many guests were cheering and drinking. Suddenly, seeing these people barge into the main hall, they were all slightly surprised. Upon hearing City Lord Su’s words, they came to a sudden realization.
Amongst these uninvited guests, the one leading them was a Xiantian expert!
Li Qing couldn’t help but ask in a low voice, “Where is Yu Tian City? What is going on with these people?”
City Lord Su whispered, “Yu Tian City is not far from Jiangyuan City. They are all cities built around the Misty Forest.” This city had a longer history and was even more powerful. There were three Xiantian experts guarding it. Previously, they had always wanted to annex our Jiangyuan City, but I prevented them from doing so, so they did not succeed. They came here today because they heard some rumors about the Su Clan’s guest elders, so they came here to pick a fight. ”
“I see. Those who come are not kind. Since they are not friends, then they are enemies.” Li Qing’s expression turned cold.
These people seemed to be malicious and rude, but City Lord Su, as the master of this place, could not lose his manners in front of everyone. He said, “Old Ghost Han, I wonder why your people from Yu Tian City came here? I don’t remember inviting you.”
Old Ghost Han was the leading Xiantian expert. He laughed loudly and said, “Haha, we are old neighbors for decades. I heard that your Su Clan has a new guest. It’s really sad that they didn’t invite us. Since that’s the case, we can only take the initiative to come and give you palms and eyes.”
City Lord Su snorted coldly, “Then you’ve already seen it. What’s your opinion?”
Old Ghost Han said, “My good idea is that bullshit doesn’t make sense! The more you live, the more you return home. Why did you invite such a little brat to be your guest?”
“I don’t need to trouble you. Although Li Qing is still young, his strength is not sloppy at all. He is much stronger than the martial artists on the tenth floor of the Houtian realm. He is more than enough to be a guest minister. The guests present have all witnessed him before.”
“Haha, are you kidding me? Do you really think I’m that easy to fool? This little fellow’s cultivation is obviously at the Houtian sixth layer. How can he be even stronger than the Houtian tenth layer? I think you must have been lying in the competition just now!” Old Ghost Han said sternly.
When everyone heard what Old Ghost Han said, a trace of doubt couldn’t help but arise in their hearts. Actually, they also felt the same way. Li Qing’s cultivation was not strong, so how could he easily defeat a warrior at the tenth level of the Houtian realm?
In the competition just now, before everyone could see what had happened, the battle had already ended. There were many suspicious points. Could it be that they were really trying to fake it?
City Lord Su was furious, “Bastard! You actually dare to slander me for cheating! How could I, the lord of a dignified city, do such a thing?”
“Since you’re not lying, why don’t you let the people of Yu Tian City test it?” Old Ghost Han laughed heartily. Then, he pointed at a young man beside him and said, “This is a genius of our Han Clan. He cultivated to the tenth level of the Houtian realm at a young age, and his future prospects are limitless. How about we let the two of them compete?”
City Lord Su couldn’t help but look at Li Qing, wanting to ask for his opinion.
Li Qing nodded and said, “No problem.”
City Lord Su turned around and said, “We will accept this challenge! Let the two young men compete!”
“Good, very straightforward!” Old Ghost Han chuckled, “Shannan, go up and compete with this so-called Su Clan’s guest elder. Remember, don’t be too ruthless. Just break his ribs.”
“Yes! Shannan will definitely live up to his high hopes and let those who are fraudulent reveal their true colors.” Han Shannan sneered. This person was young, arrogant, and had sharp eyes. He did not put Li Qing in his eyes at all.
The two of them walked into the arena and ignored each other without saluting.
“Begin!” City Lord Su ordered.
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a low “bang” sound, and then a figure flew out at an extremely fast speed.
Li Qing was still standing there, while Han Shannan was nowhere to be seen. Obviously, he had already been sent flying out of the hall.
The battle is over?
Everyone was dumbfounded. Just like the situation just now, it was even faster. Li Qing defeated his opponent with another move, and no one could see how he attacked.
This time, they undoubtedly asked about Li Qing’s strength.
Old Ghost Han also opened his mouth wide and couldn’t laugh anymore. He muttered to himself, “What the hell, this little fellow is too evil. Could he be a Body Refining expert?”
With his Xiantian 2nd layer cultivation, he had only seen a blurry shadow just now. He could barely see the appearance of Li Qing’s attack, but his speed definitely couldn’t be so fast.
He could tell that Li Qing was completely relying on the strength of his physical body. He didn’t use any true energy. He was probably a body refining expert, and his strength should be extremely powerful.
He couldn’t help but feel a sense of threat in his heart, and his gaze at Li Qing was filled with seriousness. This time, he really miscalculated. He didn’t expect that this person’s strength would already be comparable to a Xiantian expert.
Having such an expert join the Su Clan must be like adding wings to a tiger, making it even harder to deal with. Their plan to annex Jiangyuan City had greatly increased the difficulty.
“No, I have to find an opportunity to eliminate this scourge!” He thought maliciously in his heart, and his gaze towards Li Qing was filled with killing intent.
After a while, Han Shannan was carried back and vomited blood. Obviously, he was seriously injured.
Li Qing didn’t treat the enemy so politely. He directly made a heavy move. Although he didn’t kill the enemy, his muscles and bones were still injured. He wouldn’t be able to recover in a few months.
“Uncle Han… I’m so miserable… You have to avenge me!” Han Shannan’s consciousness was still clear as he spoke weakly and was on the verge of death.
