The Heavenly Saber Novel - Chapter 202

Chapter 202 Fog Forest (1)

Since she knew that Su Jingxiang could already absorb the lunar energy in her body, Li Qing was completely relieved. She could finally go out freely, and she didn’t need to be bound here all the time.

In fact, as Su Jingxiang’s strength continued to grow stronger, the strand of Origin Lunar Qi in her body had gradually lost its threat. It could no longer pose a life-threatening threat to her. Instead, it turned into food for cultivation and helped her grow rapidly.

The lunar meridians were completely cured. Li Qing was free to do what he wanted.

A few days later, he quietly left the Su Clan and went to the Misty Forest.

Before he left, he had already arranged everything, and had specifically warned City Lord Su not to leak the news of his departure, so as to avoid attracting the attention of powerful enemies.

City Lord Su naturally agreed and immediately announced that Li Qing was going to cultivate in seclusion for a period of time. He would not let anyone disturb him if he did not see any outsiders.

In any case, Li Qing did go into seclusion regularly, so outsiders did not notice anything unusual. There shouldn’t be any problems in the short term.

On the day of their departure, in the Hundred Gardens, Su Jingxiang bid Li Qing farewell.

Her strength was relatively weak. She was only at the seventh level of the Houtian realm. Although she really wanted to follow Li Qing to adventure in the Misty Forest, she knew that following him would only drag him down. Therefore, she did not request to go together.

She was always so understanding and never let Li Qing make things difficult. It was like a spring breeze and rain, silently soaking his heart.

At this moment, when she was about to part ways with her sweetheart, her expression became somewhat resentful. She stepped forward to help him tidy up the collar on his chest and said gently, “Come back early. I’ll wait for you at home.”

Looking at her gentle expression, full of love, those who do not know will surely think that it is his wife who bade him farewell and quietly waited for him to return home.

Li Qing had never felt this kind of gentleness before. His heart throbbed. He took a deep breath and nodded, “I will come back as soon as possible.”

…

The Misty Forest wasn’t too far from Jiangyuan City. With Li Qing’s speed, he arrived at the outskirts of this vast forest in a few hours.

At a glance, the boundless forest was shrouded in a layer of mysterious mist that never dissipated. Countless demonic beasts and heavenly treasures were hidden inside, waiting for humans to discover them.

This is the supreme treasure trove of nature.

However, even though the forest contained many resources and treasures, it was also filled with dangers. If one wasn’t careful, they might have lost their lives. If it wasn’t for the fact that the strong couldn’t return unscathed.

Li Qing stood outside and observed silently for a while. He discovered that three groups of martial artists had already entered the Misty Forest together. There were quite a few of them. Not far away, there were even scattered small groups that were recruiting people to enter together.

There were indeed many martial artists, all of them wanting to enter the Misty Forest, hunt demonic beasts, obtain heavenly materials and earth treasures, and then sell them to earn spirit stones.

It was precisely these large numbers of martial artists who entered the forest to take risks and sell the resources inside that led to the development and prosperity of the surrounding cities.

Li Qing withdrew his gaze, and with a flash, he entered the forest. After finding a deserted place, his body changed for a while, and he actually changed into a different appearance. His figure and appearance were completely different from before.

The Ten Thousand Devil True Body was able to change its body shape and appearance at will, and no one else could see its flaws. This was truly a heaven-defying ability. At this moment, Li Qing was using this ability to change his appearance and body shape.

At the same time, he circulated the [Devil Shadow Without a Trace] secret technique to hide his aura and only displayed his cultivation at the Houtian 7th layer.

The reason he did this was to avoid being recognized by others. After all, he was truly famous right now. Many people have heard of the reputation of the strongest person in Jiangyuan City, Li Qing, and have seen his appearance. Perhaps someone will recognize him and cause unnecessary trouble.

After doing all these things, he did not stop and began to walk deeper into the Misty Forest.

Not long after they entered the Misty Forest, they met a group of martial artists. After they saw Li Qing, they walked straight towards him and asked, “Little brother, are you going to enter the Misty Forest?”

“That’s right.” Li Qing nodded.

The person in the lead was a bald man. He smiled and said, “That’s great. Right now, our team is missing one person. Why don’t you join us in forming a team?”

Li Qing looked at the four people opposite him and found that their bodies were filled with a bloodthirsty aura. Each of them had ferocious expressions, and there was a trace of killing intent in their eyes. It seemed that they were not kind people.

He could tell at a glance that these four people had more than one life on their hands. This time, he had come looking for him with bad intentions.

Li Qing thought for a while and couldn’t help but chuckle. He agreed, “Alright, let’s form a team together.”

He didn’t care about this. The four people on the other side weren’t worth mentioning and could be wiped out with a flip of their palms. The reason why he wanted to join the team with them was because there were other considerations.

The bald man was overjoyed, “Little brother is really straightforward. Let’s go, let’s set off immediately.”

As a result, the five of them immediately walked into the depths of the Misty Forest.

Walking along the way, the bald man casually asked, “Little brother, where are you from? Are you a disciple of a large family or sect?”

This was clearly testing his identity. If his background was too great, he might not have made a move.

“I am a rogue cultivator.” Li Qing said indifferently.

“Oh, rogue cultivator …” A trace of joy flashed through the bald man’s eyes. Since he didn’t have any background, killing him wouldn’t be a problem.

After a while, they arrived at a secluded place. The bald four stopped and said, “Alright, this is it. There’s no need to leave.”

“Why? There are no demonic beasts here. Let’s go inside.” Li Qing asked knowingly.

The bald man smiled sinisterly, “You still want to leave? Haha, I think this place is very suitable! Take out all your belongings obediently! Otherwise, I will take your life!”

“What do you mean? Could it be a robbery?”

‘”Haha–” The rest of them laughed, “This little fat sheep is so stupid that I can’t tell. That’s right, we’re robbers! Take out your belongings obediently, and we’ll leave you with a whole corpse.”

“Sigh, I’ve given you a chance. Unfortunately, you don’t cherish it, so don’t blame me!” Li Qing sighed.

“Brat, what do you mean? Give us a chance? Cowhide is boasting to the heavens! A mere Houtian 7th layer is surrounded by us. Could it be that you still want to run?” The bald man said disdainfully.

Among these four people, the baldy was at the Houtian 8th layer, while the others were at the Houtian 7th layer. Their strength was indeed quite good. If an ordinary Houtian Seventh Layer was surrounded, they would definitely be killed.

Unfortunately, they had kicked the iron plate this time.

Li Qing was too lazy to talk nonsense with them. His aura was released, and a tremendous pressure enveloped this forest.

“A Xiantian expert!” The four robbers cried out loudly, immediately scared the shit out of them. Under Li Qing’s tyrannical pressure, they were unable to even move.

“Spare us… We can’t see through Mount Tai, let us go.” They shouted in fear, their faces filled with despair, their snot and tears flowing out of their noses.

Li Qing was too lazy to bother with them. He threw out a stream of True Essence and cut off three of them from his waist.

The bald man was the only one who was still trembling on the ground. He had lost control of his urine and bowels, and was clearly extremely frightened.

“Do you have a map of the Fog Forest?” Li Qing asked.

“Yes! Yes!” The bald man nodded repeatedly, then took out a map from his bosom and handed it to Li Qing.

Li Qing took it and took a look. It was indeed the map of the Misty Forest. It was extremely detailed. He nodded and said, “It is indeed a good thing. For you to be so positive…”

“Can you spare my life?” A glimmer of hope rose in the bald man’s eyes.

“Leave your corpse!” Li Qing reached out his hand and lightly tapped on the bald man’s forehead, creating a bloody hole between his eyebrows and killing him.

There was no need to talk about morality with these bad people.

If one were to say that the person who understood the Misty Forest the best was probably the baldy, a martial artist who had been mixed up in the Misty Forest all year round. They were all people who licked their blood with their knives, and they were the most experienced in these matters.

After so many years of exploration, Baldy and the others made a detailed map. It was very useful to Li Qing. The map covered most of the Misty Forest, and only the center could not be drawn because of getting lost.

With this item, it would naturally be much more convenient to handle things. To be able to save a lot of time, it was truly a pleasant surprise.

The Misty Forest was filled with slaughter. In this place, martial artists had to fight not only heaven, earth, demonic beasts, but also humans.

Along the way, Li Qing encountered another two waves of robbers. Unfortunately, these people were not lucky enough to encounter such a powerful hidden figure like Li Qing. Before they died, they must have cursed inwardly. A dignified Xiantian expert actually pretended to be a Houtian seventh layer martial artist. This was truly too deceptive!

Apart from killing the robbers, if he saw a martial artist in danger, he would always help.

The further one went, the more dangerous the environment became, and the fewer martial artists there were. Li Qing strolled through the mountains and forests. Above his head were trees that covered the sky and covered the sun. A familiar feeling surged into his heart, as if he had returned to the days of adventuring in the Lianyun Mountain Range.

…

About half a day later, Li Qing appeared in a special place.

In front of him was a huge pit. It was as if he had experienced a terrifying explosion. Even a Xiantian expert would find it difficult to fight it out.

This place was where Li Qing had fallen that day, creating a huge pit. Before coming here, he specifically asked Su Jingxiang about this place and thought about it to see if there were any unexpected discoveries.

He walked around the deep pit and sized it up for a while, but he couldn’t see anything strange. Apart from discovering that this place was exploded by a huge amount of energy, there was nothing special about it.

He jumped into the bottom of the pit and discovered that the corpse of the devil had long since disappeared.
