The Heavenly Saber Novel - Chapter 167

Chapter 167 A Strong Physical Body
Old Ghost Han took out a pill and gave it to Han Shannan. Then, he turned to look at Li Qing and said with a gloomy expression, “It’s just a duel. You’ve done too much! You’ve actually seriously injured Shannan! It’s truly unforgivable!”

“If you all harbor ill intentions, why should I be soft-hearted? If it weren’t for you guys looking for trouble, how could you end up like this? It’s just your fault.” Li Qing’s expression was indifferent, but he didn’t pay any attention to the Xiantian expert’s questioning.

“Good, good! Do you think you can be unscrupulous with your brute strength? Today, I will teach you a lesson! I will let you know the dignity of a Xiantian expert!” Old Ghost Han laughed out loud, wanting to personally deal with Li Qing.

City Lord Su shouted, “How dare you! Old Ghost Han, you, a Xiantian expert, actually want to attack the younger generation? How can I just sit idly by and watch?”

Old Ghost Han snorted coldly, “What? City Lord Su, do you have to protect this lawless person? No matter what, I will seek justice today! If you dare to stop me, I will lead the troops of Yu Tian City to flatten your little Jiangyuan City!”

“How dare you threaten me!” City Lord Su’s expression changed and his gaze became serious. “Do you really think that I would be afraid of your Yu Tian City? If you dare to attack us, you will definitely suffer great losses!”

The two Xiantian experts looked at each other, their eyes flickering with sparks. Their attitudes were extremely tough and they refused to back down at all.

The atmosphere became solemn, and a great battle was about to break out!

At this time, Li Qing stood up and waved his hand, “City Lord, there’s no need to be like this. What’s there to be afraid of? Let me fight with him. I don’t care about a mere Xiantian 2nd layer martial artist.”

The moment these words were spoken, the entire arena fell silent, and the needles could be heard. Everyone opened their mouths wide, wondering if they had heard wrongly.

“What did he say? He actually didn’t put Xiantian 2-dan experts in his eyes? Did I hear wrongly?” Someone said in disbelief.

“Is this person stupid? He actually dares to say such big words. Do you really think that he is invincible under the heavens?”

“I’ve never seen such an arrogant person!”

The crowd seemed to explode with discussion. They scoffed at Li Qing’s arrogant words, and their gazes at him were filled with disdain and contempt.

“You dare to ignore a Xiantian 2nd layer expert. I’ve lived my entire life, and I’ve only heard you dare to say such things. Do you think that you’re already a supreme expert in the world and can be called a sect’s ancestor?” Old Ghost Han was already furious.

“Li Qing, aren’t you a little too impulsive?” City Lord Su looked at him awkwardly and whispered to him.

Li Qing shook his head and chuckled, “Don’t worry, City Lord. I’m not going to fight an uncertain battle. Do you think I look like a fool?”

His expression was filled with confidence, as if Xiantian experts were just chickens and tiles, unable to withstand a single blow.

“Since you are confident, then I won’t stop you. Remember, if you can’t beat me, just admit defeat and I will save you.” City Lord Su said.

After all, Li Qing was his daughter’s savior and was even more capable of treating the lunar meridians. No matter what, he could not watch Li Qing’s mishap.

Old Ghost Han said fiercely, “Li Qing, since you’re courting death, I’ll grant your wish! Come, come out and fight me! Since you dare to say such big words, you shouldn’t be a cowardly turtle, right?”

“Just fight. What’s the big deal?” Li Qing walked into the arena with his head held high.

“Wait, my hall can’t withstand Xiantian level battles. If you want to fight, go out and fight in the plaza outside.” City Lord Su said.

“That’s right. This place is too small for us to use. Let’s go out and fight.” Both of them nodded in agreement.

As a result, everyone walked out of the hall and stood by the side of the square to watch the competition nervously.

A young man actually dared to challenge a Xiantian 2-dan expert. They had never seen such a good show in their entire lives, and they were looking forward to it in their hearts.

“I hope Li Qing won’t lose too badly.” They thought to themselves.

Li Qing and Old Ghost Han stood in the middle of the square, staring at each other without yielding.

“Kid, I admit that you have the strength to fight against a Xiantian expert, but you are still far from being a Xiantian 2-dan expert like me!” Old Ghost Han smiled coldly. “If you hadn’t been so arrogant and patiently cultivated for another ten years, I might not have been your match. Unfortunately, no matter how talented a person is, death is nothing. Now, if you want to seek your own death, you can’t blame me!”

“Oh? You want to kill me?” Li Qing’s expression also turned cold. He had only injured Han Shannan and was about to kill him. Isn’t it a bit too vicious?

“Hehe, it’s too late for you to regret it now! Today, you will undoubtedly die. I won’t let anyone else have a chance to save you! Die!” Old Ghost Han shouted loudly and struck out with his palm. Instantly, a gigantic hand of True Essence appeared in the air and pressed down on Li Qing.

The enormous pressure covered the sky and suppressed the earth, and the power of the Xiantian was undoubtedly displayed. If it was an ordinary person, they would probably have already knelt on the ground, unable to move.

This was a common method used by Xiantian experts to deal with Houtian realm martial artists. It was extremely useful and could sweep across a large area. No matter how many people came, they were no match for Xiantian experts.

However, this move was no longer effective against Li Qing.

Li Qing’s eyes widened. Purple blood surged all over his body. His body seemed to have grown stronger. His muscles were knotted like a demon god descending into the world. His physical body was comparable to a mountain, and his strength had reached an unbelievable level. With a wave of his fist, he could distort the air and possess extreme strength.

His body squatted down slightly like an arrow, gathering all his strength and punching straight at the True Essence Hand above his head.

Boom!

The terrifying power was unparalleled, and the True Essence Giant Hand directly shattered the fist. The energy scattered in all directions, shaking everyone in the surroundings to the point of taking a step back.

“What a powerful force!” They exclaimed in astonishment. Obviously, Li Qing’s strength had exceeded their expectations.

“Damn it, its strength is actually so powerful! Long-range attacks are useless against him. It seems like I have to fight close combat.” Old Ghost Han immediately took out a thin black sword that flickered with cold sharpness. It was actually a middle-grade true artifact.

“Little thief is dead! Kill!” Old Ghost Han’s expression was ferocious as he rushed towards Li Qing.

Li Qing also kicked down like a cannonball and rushed towards Old Ghost Han. He was like a tyrannosaurus rex, extremely ferocious.

The distance between the two of them was originally only ten zhang, but with this charge, they immediately arrived in front of them and started to fight fiercely.

Chi!

The black sword light flashed and pierced in front of Li Qing, swallowing the sharp sword light.

Li Qing’s speed was extremely fast. With a “whoosh” sound, he seemed to have transformed into an illusion. His footsteps were agile, and he turned around to avoid this sword strike.

He clenched his right fist and attacked Old Ghost Han. Unexpectedly, Old Ghost Han was extremely experienced. A trace of cunning flashed in his eyes. The sword in his hand turned and turned around. He actually turned around and stabbed Li Qing’s fist.

“Shatter it for me!” Old Ghost Han smiled sinisterly. Seeing that this sword was about to pierce Li Qing’s fist, it seemed as if he could foresee that this sharp sword would cut the opponent’s fist in half.

Li Qing was caught off guard and his moves were too old to dodge. With a cold snort, he simply didn’t dodge and instead increased the strength of his fist, striking straight at the sharp sword.

“You’re courting death! A flesh and blood body actually dares to fight against a medium-grade True Artifact!” Old Ghost Han laughed wildly.

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a clanging sound. His right fist collided with the black sword, producing a sharp metallic sound that was ear-piercing and unpleasant to hear.

Unexpectedly, Li Qing’s fist was not softened into two halves, not even a drop of blood flowed out.

“What? His physical body is actually so powerful, able to forcibly carry a mid-grade True Artifact!” Everyone was shocked and revealed expressions of disbelief.

Li Qing’s strength once again refreshed everyone’s cognition.

In fact, it wasn’t completely unharmed. A faint bloody scar appeared on Li Qing’s fist, but after a while, the purple light flowed and the wound immediately healed.

Powerful resilience! His fleshly body was unparalleled.

Even with Old Ghost Han’s vast experience, he couldn’t help but be stunned when he saw this situation. He had seen quite a few Body Refining experts and had some understanding of this path, but he had never seen a terrifying monster like Li Qing able to forcibly carry a mid-grade True Weapon!

Is this still human? It was simply a humanoid beast!

“What exactly is the background of this young man?” A trace of doubt arose in his heart.
