The Heavenly Saber Novel - Chapter 201

Chapter 201 Demon Emperor Nine Slashes

“Another year has passed! Unknowingly, I have been here for so long.” Standing by the window, Li Qing looked up at the sky and sighed deeply.

It’s been a year! For martial artists, time always passed quickly. Sometimes, it would take a long time to enter seclusion.

Back then, Liu Ke’er had mysteriously come to this unfamiliar place in the Eastern Region. She did not know where she was, causing his heart to be incomparably confused.

Now, after such a long time, he had finally settled down here and laid a solid foundation. This unfamiliar place was no longer unfamiliar. With familiar friends and new ties, his life became calm, as if he had forgotten everything from the past.

However, he knew that he hadn’t forgotten anything from the past. He just buried everything deep in his heart. The bloodbath a year ago was like a dream from last night. Everything was so clear and vivid.

With the improvement of his cultivation, everything was developing in a better direction, and he was getting closer and closer to his goal. He believed that with his talent, he would soon become a peerless expert and do what he truly wanted to do!

He clenched his fists tightly and let out a long breath, “Almost! Almost! You must endure!”

Right now, his cultivation had shockingly reached the peak of Xiantian 2nd layer, and he was only one step away from breaking through to Xiantian 3rd layer.

To be able to reach such a level in just one year’s time was truly astonishing. It was comparable to the ten years of hard work of others. On the one hand, it depended on his peerless talent and foundation, on the other hand, it benefited from the miraculous effects of dual cultivation with Su Jingxiang.

Cultivating together with Su Jingxiang was indeed very effective. If he hadn’t taken into account her feelings and avoided getting entangled in it, he would have been extremely happy to continue cultivating like this.

During this year, apart from cultivating, he had also done many other things.

First of all, with the support of the Su Clan, the resources for refining medicine could be said to be inexhaustible and continuously sent to Li Qing’s residence.

Li Qing continuously used these medicinal ingredients to refine all kinds of pills, and took them out to sell to the Su Clan, obtaining a large amount of spirit stones. Since the medicinal ingredients were provided by the Su Clan, Li Qing and the Su Clan shared 50 to 50% of the ingredients. Both sides benefited greatly.

The Su Clan not only made a fortune with Li Qing, but also gained a huge reputation. After taking these precious pills to sell, the reputation of Jiangyuan City spread invisibly. Soon, it attracted countless martial artists. Jiangyuan City gradually became prosperous. It was no longer a small town with hundreds of thousands of people like before, but a magnificent city.

The three cities had completely stabilized.

After continuously refining these pills, Li Qing’s alchemy technique had made great progress. His foundation was very solid, his knowledge was abundant, and he was experienced. He had completely stabilized at the level of a high-grade alchemist. Even the success rate of refining high-grade pills could reach around 40%.

However, he felt that it was strange that he couldn’t refine top-grade pills no matter what. He would always fail. Obviously, this was a huge head card, and it wasn’t easy to break through.

Li Qing wasn’t in a hurry. Anyway, he was still young now. He had plenty of time. At his age, others might only be low-grade alchemists. He believed that as long as he continued to practice, his pill refining skills would naturally become successful.

Apart from alchemy, his greatest harvest was to cultivate all kinds of martial arts and secret skills from the Myriad Demons Scripture, which greatly increased his combat strength.

Li Qing had already cultivated two of the three supreme techniques in the Myriad Demons Scripture. And the last gate was the Nine Demon Emperor Slashes!

The Nine Slashes of the Demon Emperor was a saber technique, and it was a saber technique that perfectly matched the Heavenly Saber!

According to what was said above, in order to use the Nine Demon Emperor Slashes, one had to work together with the Heavenly Saber to activate the mysterious power within the saber in order to maximize its power. If they were to use ordinary weapons, their might would naturally not be bad, but they would not be as powerful as Heavenly Blades.

The Demon Emperor’s Nine Slashes, as the name implied, had a total of nine moves. Li Qing was currently at the Xiantian realm, and he could only cultivate three of these moves.

These three moves were: one cut, two cuts, one cut, one cut, one cut, one cut, one cut, two cuts, two cuts, two cuts.

In fact, these three saber techniques didn’t have any fixed moves. Instead, they used some terrifying power to deal damage to the enemy.

The first move was to cut everything in half, combining the invincible nature of the Heavenly Saber.

Actually, Li Qing had already used this kind of power to cut through everything. This was because the Heavenly Saber was so sharp in the past. Although it looked very blunt on the surface, no matter whose weapon collided with it, it was completely unstoppable. It would be cut in half.

The purpose of this move was to use the invincible and severed nature of the Heavenly Saber to maximize its power and bring it into full play.

The second move was to kill them all. Li Qing needed to inject his purple True Essence into the Heavenly Saber to create a mysterious change. He could release the power to extinguish all life force and attach it to the Heavenly Saber, causing additional damage.

If he hacked down on the enemy, even if he only cut through a tiny bit of blood, if this extinction force entered the enemy’s body and devoured his vitality, he would be able to completely annihilate the enemy.

The third move was Void Annihilation. Actually, Li Qing had already used it before. It was the big move he had used to cut through the void, tear open a crack in the void, and destroy everything.

In the past, Li Qing didn’t understand what was going on with this forbidden power to cut through the void, but now he finally understood that it was actually the void annihilation.

In the past, Li Qing wasn’t able to freely use this terrifying power. It didn’t work when the time was right, so he had to use it at the last moment. It was really not safe.

But now that he had learned this technique, he was able to use this power freely, using his Heavenly Saber to cut through the void rifts and destroy everything.

Actually, these three moves did not require much practice. There were no fixed moves. All they needed was the acknowledgement of the owner of the Heavenly Saber. Li Qing had already accomplished this long ago.

However, in the future, he would no longer be able to use these unique techniques easily, because he had to cooperate with the Heavenly Saber in order to display its full potential. Unfortunately, he could not reveal the Heavenly Saber to others to prevent others from discovering its secrets. Therefore, he could only use it at critical moments and could not use it as a conventional method.

Apart from the Nine Slashes of the Heavenly Demon Emperor, there were other strange auxiliary secret arts, such as the Heavenly Demon Soul Curse, Prison Fire Divine Refinement, Spirit Gathering Secret Seal, Blood Condensation Divine Curse, and Devil Shadow Disappearance. They were all very useful things. Li Qing chose some to learn.

For example, the secret art of Devil Shadow Disappearing was to conceal his aura and cultivation so that no one could see it. This way, they wouldn’t be able to discover that he had cultivated Devil Arts and had an increased chance of surviving. Li Qing had already mastered this secret art to a small success.

Taking out any of these secret arts was an earth-shattering technique that would attract countless people to fight for it. However, Li Qing was very lucky to be able to study freely now.

After all, it was the Demon Ancestor’s lifelong inheritance. The world’s most supreme fortuitous encounter, and few people had ever obtained such a level of fortuitous encounter.
