The Heavenly Saber Novel - Chapter 185
Chapter 185 An Attack from a Strong Enemy
Although the process of cultivating the Ten Thousand Devil True Body was extremely painful, the effects were also astonishing. Everything seemed to be worth it.
Li Qing didn’t even need to feel it carefully to be able to sense that the part that had been refined was very different from the other parts.
It was filled with vigor and vitality. Compared to other parts of the body, the flesh and blood of other parts of the body were somewhat dim and old.
Under the connection of his mind, Li Qing could faintly feel that he could control the flesh and blood in this part of the body to make subtle movements and changes.
Generally speaking, a person’s body can move, but not all of them can freely manipulate it. After cultivating the Ten Thousand Devil True Body, that part of his body seemed to have come back to life, transforming into his hands and feet. It could be controlled freely and was extremely flexible.
Didn’t this mean that after Li Qing refined his entire body, he could control every part of his body at will and change into all kinds of appearances and figures?
This was simply more powerful than disguise!
The disguise technique was just a cover-up technique. It was easy to discover flaws by covering up one’s true appearance with something on the surface. As for the Myriad Demon True Body, it was much more advanced. Once one controlled one’s body to change, no one would be able to see the flaws.
This was because this change was already a change in the internal muscles of the human body. It was a real change, not an illusion. There was no way to detect any flaws at all.
Changing one’s appearance casually was truly a miraculous ability. If one used it well, they might be able to do many unbelievable things.
Thinking of the mysterious abilities possessed by the Myriad Demons True Body, Li Qing’s heart became hot. Immediately, he felt motivated. No matter how painful the process was, it didn’t seem to be that terrifying.
It was all worth it.
What people are most afraid of is to work hard without any results. It seems like they are doing useless work. Unfortunately, they did not know whether they would succeed or fail until the last moment, which often made people very confused, and they did not know if they would continue to persevere.
Once the results of what he had done were achieved and he could see the real benefits, he would have the motivation and confidence to persevere.
To cultivate the Ten Thousand Devil True Body, the human body needed to undergo countless tempering, shattering, and reorganization. This was a long and painful process. Without a single motive force to support it, it would be very difficult for a person with a firm will to persevere until the end.
And now, the benefits of the Myriad Demon True Body were all visible. Li Qing was naturally spirited and full of confidence. He couldn’t wait to see if the Ten Thousand Devil True Body was really that miraculous.
He did not hesitate and began his second cultivation. He chose another part to start tempering, shattering, and reorganizing.
Of course, this process was so painful. Even though he had tried it once, he still let out a miserable scream after experiencing this process again.
From time to time, loud screams could be heard from within the Hundred Gardens, causing people to panic in their hearts.
Unfortunately, his voice was still extremely loud. Many people could hear him, and they were extremely worried in their hearts.
Fortunately, Li Qing had already instructed that no matter what happened inside, no one was allowed to disturb him. Otherwise, everyone would have been unable to help but go in and see what was going on.
It was impossible to know what was happening inside. They could only suppress their curiosity and pray to the direction of the Hundred Gardens, hoping that nothing unexpected would happen to Li Qing. Otherwise, Jiangyuan City would not be able to resist the enemy’s attack.
Thus, in the next few days, Li Qing’s miserable screams never stopped. Everyone was used to listening. At least, there was a sound coming from inside, which proved that he should be fine and alive.
During this period of time, Li Qing had been cultivating the Ten Thousand Devil True Body. He felt ruthless in his heart. He actually didn’t pause for a moment and refined all the parts of his body. His entire body seemed to be completely new, completely reborn, emitting an immortal aura.
After this painful training, his eyes were shockingly bright. All the muscles in his body could be controlled freely. He could freely change his appearance and figure. His muscles were full of toughness, showing soft and beautiful lines, containing astonishing explosive power.
A combination of strength and beauty!
Although Li Qing’s muscles didn’t look that thick, or even thinner than before, his strength was even more powerful, and he practically controlled them.
He took out a mid-grade True Artifact and scratched his skin, only leaving a white mark.
After taking out a high-grade True Artifact, he only managed to cut through a layer of skin, and only a trace of blood flowed out. As his muscles wriggled, divine light flowed and quickly healed. His recovery was astonishing.
This was the power of the Ten Thousand Devil True Body!
In addition, cultivating the Ten Thousand Devil True Body also had the effect of increasing his strength. After refining his entire body, he felt that he had increased his strength by more than a thousand jin, which could be considered to have increased his strength by a little.
…
Just as Li Qing was painfully cultivating the Ten Thousand Devil True Body in the Hundred Gardens, the calm situation outside finally changed.
After probing for a few times, the allied forces of Yu Tiancheng and the other major powers had done nothing and finally lost their patience, wanting to crush them with a dignified and upright momentum.
According to reliable information, the forces of several major powers had already gathered in Yu Tian City and could attack at any time.
As far as he could see, there were already nine great Xiantian experts in Yu Tian City, along with three thousand martial artists!
To be able to gather three thousand martial artists in this border area was definitely a tremendous force that could sweep through the surroundings.
One had to know that within Jiang Yuan City, there were only three thousand city guards, plus eight hundred elite martial artists. Most of the city guards were ordinary people, as well as martial artists with lower cultivation levels. They were basically useless in this kind of battle at the martial artist level.
The true backbone of Jiangyuan City was the eight hundred elite martial artist guards. Compared to the enemy’s three thousand martial artist troops, their numbers were far inferior.
If it weren’t for the protection of the city walls, it would definitely be a one-sided massacre.
Luckily, this was a one-sided siege, and he only needed to be able to defend the defensive line. The walls of Jiangyuan City were all made of high-grade black iron stones. They were stronger than steel, and there were countless runes engraved on them to strengthen the strength of the walls.
Even if Xiantian experts wanted to destroy the city walls, they wouldn’t be able to penetrate them for a moment or two. Not to mention a Houtian realm martial artist, there was simply no way to cause much damage to them.
This was also the reason why Yu Tiancheng had been reluctant to attack Jiang Yuan City. If it weren’t for the fact that his strength had crushed him, the battles between the cities would normally have lasted for a long time. It was common to fight for a few years.
In the past, the three main cities of Dongyuan Prefecture had been attacking each other for more than a hundred years. The situation had been stalemate, causing chaos in Dongyuan Prefecture and the people to suffer.
In this situation, Yu Tiancheng took advantage of the opportunity that Jiang Yuan City had offended many factions and joined forces to gather experts from several major factions. Only then did he have the confidence to attack.
…
In winter, it gets darker than usual.
On the city walls of Jiangyuan City, a large number of martial artists stood scattered, staring into the distance. There were also many soldiers patrolling back and forth. The atmosphere was unprecedentedly solemn.
During this period of time, Jiang Yuan City had been keeping the city gates shut and on guard. Everyone knew in their hearts that Yu Tiancheng and the others might attack at any moment.
“Everyone’s eyes are wide open. Don’t be distracted to avoid being ambushed. Everyone, hold on for a while longer. When the night comes, another batch of guards will rush over to replace them. At that time, everyone can go back to sleep easily.” A mighty man wearing white armor walked on the city wall. As he walked, he loudly lectured. Everywhere he passed, everyone’s spirits instantly lifted and they didn’t dare to slack off.
Although the sky was very dark, the martial artists’ eyesight was very sharp, and they could see very far away.
In the distant darkness, a black tide silently rushed over, producing a fine and dense rustling sound.
“There’s an enemy!” A mournful shout resounded.
