The Heavenly Saber Novel - Chapter 264

Chapter 264 Successful Return

In fact, Li Qing had indeed lost this battle. Without using many trump cards, he was suppressed by Jiang Ling Bai and trapped in the center of the frost region.

If it weren’t for his powerful defenses, he wouldn’t have been able to make it today.

Especially the last small white sword, which almost pierced through his body. Fortunately, his dantian suppressed a large Yin Yang Grinding Wheel. This damaged Dao Artifact flew out to block it at a critical moment. Otherwise, it would have stained the earth with blood today.

Actually, he was a bit arrogant and careless. During this period of time, everything had been smooth and invincible. He thought that he could rely on his true strength to fight against the other party, but he didn’t expect that he would almost be doomed.

This failure caused his heart to calm down a lot, and his mind did not swell any further. Previously, he felt that he was almost able to fight against a Xiantian seventh layer expert, but now, it seemed that there was still a gap in strength.

However, it was normal to think about this result. After all, Jiang Lingbai’s cultivation was at the sixth level of Xiantian realm, three levels higher than Li Qing’s. To ordinary people, this gap was already heaven and earth. It was an insurmountable gap. Being able to cross so many levels to fight against Li Qing was considered very powerful.

Especially since Jiang Lingbai was a person on the Dragon-Phoenix Rankings in the past, his combat strength was already stronger than ordinary people. It wasn’t surprising that Li Qing wasn’t his opponent.

Now that Jiang Lingbai had been plotted by Li Qing and had lost an arm, there was no need to worry.

Actually, it was very simple for him to kill the other party. As long as he took out the Yin Yang Cylinder and struck out a few Purple Firmament Divine Lightning bolts, he would be able to destroy the other party to ashes. However, he did not do so. The main reason was to fight one-on-one with his opponent and try to see how big the difference in strength was.

“You are too despicable, you actually dare to use poison to plot against me!” Jiang Ling Bai’s expression was extremely painful. Incomplete limbs are an unacceptable thing for anyone.

As he spoke, Li Qing walked forward. As the purple light flowed, his body was almost healed. The wound healed quickly, as if he hadn’t been injured. However, his face was a little pale and his aura was somewhat weak. However, this was not a problem.

“We’re not competing in martial arts. Naturally, we’re using all kinds of methods.” Li Qing sneered. It was already considered very gentlemanly that he didn’t directly use divine lightning to kill the other party.

Jiang Lingbai gritted his teeth and said, “If it weren’t for your plot, you wouldn’t have been able to defeat me!”

“To be able to plot against you is also a manifestation of my strength.” Li Qing remained unmoved and said coldly, “Besides, your cultivation is three levels higher than mine. It’s normal for you to be unable to defeat me. Such words can’t hurt me at all.”

Jiang Lingbai’s eyes narrowed, “Your cultivation is only at the third level of the Xiantian realm? How is that possible!”

The old man in front of him had always been unable to see clearly. He should have used a secret technique to conceal his cultivation. He had always thought that he was at the sixth level of the Xiantian realm, but he did not expect that he was only at the third level of the Xiantian realm. This was too unexpected and hard for him to believe.

He was the only one who had ever fought beyond his level, and he never expected that he would be overstepped by someone today.

“What are you lying about? You’re going to die anyway, there’s no point in lying to you!” Li Qing curled his lips.

“I will die? What a joke!” Jiang Lingbai gripped the sword in his hand tightly. “Do you think I can kill me just by breaking an arm? This is simply delusion!”

Li Qing shook his head and sighed, “You are at the end of your rope. Not only did you break an arm, you also used so many powerful moves just now, consuming a large amount of True Essence. I want to see how you can defeat me! Take a move from me!”

As soon as he finished speaking, his hands stretched out and Yin and Yang Qi gathered in his palms, forming two large Yin and Yang millstones.

With one hand on his left and one on his right, the Yin Yang Grinding Wheel rumbled. Li Qing’s aura erupted like a god in charge of the heavens.

This was an entity formed from Yin and Yang Qi. It was like two sturdy weapons. Its power was extremely terrifying. Using the Yin and Yang Qi Control Technique to control it, a large amount of black and white gas converged into it.

If one looked carefully, they would find something like a sharp thorn at the edge of the millstone. Inside, there was the gathering of Yin and Yang Qi, and then they suddenly split apart. It was indeterminate, and there was a faint and terrifying power to cut through the void.

This was the Great Yin Yang Split! Li Qing actually combined it with the Yin Yang Grinding Disk and condensed countless tiny Yin Yang splitting forces at the edge of the grinding disk. The whole thing looked like a rapidly rotating gear, crushing everything and splitting everything!

This was the combination of three moves!

Combining the Yin Yang Grinding Plate and the Yin Yang Grand Splitting together, using the Yin Yang Qi Controlling Technique as the connecting link, they perfectly combined together to form a stable whole.

If it wasn’t for the Yin Yang Qi Control Technique, it wouldn’t have succeeded. It would have collapsed at any moment. This was because it required extremely strong control. After all, there were two completely different powers.

This move was originally created by Li Qing. Previously, it had only been conceived in his mind. Today, it was the first time that it was displayed in the world. It could be imagined that the power of this combination of martial arts divine abilities would be extremely terrifying!

“Go!”

Li Qing waved his hands and the two Yin Yang Grinding Disks immediately flew out. The air was completely torn apart, leaving behind a vacuum that crushed towards Jiang Lingbai and surrounded him with one left and one right.

“Ning!”

Jiang Lingbai felt great danger. His current situation wasn’t too good. He could only grind his teeth and activate the remaining True Essence in his body to form nine ice shield walls in front of him. There were a total of nine of them, wanting to block the two Yin Yang Grinding Disks.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The two millstones were unstoppable, carrying unparalleled divine might, crushing and cutting all existences into powder wherever they passed.

The nine ice shield walls were easily shattered, and the remaining might of the grindstone did not diminish as it struck towards him.

“No–”

Jiang Lingbai was already at the end of his rope. He had exhausted his True Essence and was seriously injured. He was practically powerless to resist. Facing these two terrifying attacks, there was really nothing he could do.

Helplessly, he could only use his trump card.

He took out a small golden bell from his interspatial ring and threw it over his head. When he saw it rise in the wind, it turned into a hundred feet in size and covered it.

“Dang–”

The Yin Yang Grinding Wheel struck the golden bell. The grand sound of the bell traveled for dozens of kilometers. It was deafening. The golden bell above his head rumbled, and sound waves swept all over the place, causing the sky to be filled with dust.

“It’s blocked!” Jiang Lingbai took a long breath and his forehead was covered in cold sweat.

“Another secret treasure!” Li Qing narrowed his eyes, but the disciples of these great sects had quite a few methods, and there were countless life-saving items appearing one after another. However, did he think that he would be able to rest easy just by relying on this item?

Right at this moment, Jiang Lingbai suddenly took out another item from his interspatial ring and threw it into the sky. A resplendent signal soared into the sky and exploded in the sky.

This was a signal for help!

“Now that I have this bell guarding me, I’m afraid you won’t be able to do anything to me. The signal has been sent, and the nearby teams will arrive soon. I think you’re doomed this time!” Jiang Lingbai sneered and finally settled down.

“Really? Do you really think this big bell can protect you?” Li Qing shook his head, and another Yin Yang Grinding Plate appeared in his hand, striking towards the big clock.

The big bell was over a hundred feet long, floating above Jiang Lingbai’s head. There was a light barrier hanging down from the outside, protecting him.

Once again, the Yin Yang Grinding Wheel struck the light shield and heard a loud “Dang” sound. It was deafening. The light shield trembled a few times like a wave of water and quickly regained its calm.

Unbreakable!

As Jiang Lingbai’s life-saving treasure, it naturally couldn’t be easily broken. Otherwise, it wouldn’t have been used as a life-saving secret treasure.

In fact, this secret treasure required a large amount of True Essence to support it. He was already running out of True Essence. Although he was desperately trying to replenish it, he could not make ends meet. If Li Qing kept attacking with the Yin Yang Grindstone, he would be able to break it in half a day.

However, Jiang Lingbai had already sent out a distress signal. The nearby teams would arrive soon. Without waiting for anyone, Li Qing had to finish the battle quickly.

“I advise you to run away quickly, there is still a chance of survival! This clock is not something you can break!” Jiang Lingbai was also a little nervous, afraid that Li Qing would kill him regardless of everything.

“Looks like I still need to use this saber!” Li Qing took a long breath and took out his Heavenly Saber.

Jiang Lingbai’s eyes narrowed as he sensed a trace of danger. He had seen the power of this saber before. Could it be that it could cut through the defense of the Great Bell Secret Treasure?

Li Qing stopped talking nonsense and immediately rushed forward. He brandished his Heavenly Saber and directly slashed into the light barrier, easily breaking open a huge crack in it.

“This saber can actually cut through the light shield! What kind of divine object is it!” Jiang Lingbai cried out, his eyes filled with greed.

This crack could not be passed by one person. Li Qing was just about to slash again when the light shield flowed for a while like a wave of water and quickly healed.

“It’s useless! This light shield will automatically heal. You won’t be able to break it in a short period of time!” Jiang Lingbai was very proud inside.

Li Qing ignored him and snorted coldly. Since breaking the light barrier was ineffective, he could only attack the main body of the big bell.

If he wanted to do it, Li Qing immediately jumped high into the sky and slashed towards the main body of the big bell.

With the strength of a Xiantian expert, it was still possible to jump over a hundred meters. Moreover, Li Qing’s physical strength was so strong that he could jump even higher.

“Shit!” Jiang Lingbai hurriedly activated the big bell to fly up into the sky, but it was already too late. Li Qing had already jumped to the location of the big bell. The Heavenly Saber landed on the surface of the bell, and with a “click”, it cut through a large hole.

The big bell trembled violently for a while, and its spiritual light dimmed a lot. However, this opening was not worth mentioning to the huge body of the big bell.

Li Qing did not stop. He took advantage of the time he was in the air to quickly slash out more than a dozen times, cutting the big bell into pieces and scattering it in all directions.

“Not good!” Jiang Ling Bai’s expression changed. The big bell had already been shattered. Without any life-saving items, he didn’t dare to stay. He immediately turned into a streak of light and fled into the distance.

Unfortunately, he was already at the end of his rope. He couldn’t get up fast, so how could he escape? Li Qing strode forward like he was chasing after the stars and the moon, catching up very quickly.

“Spare me! I am willing to surrender!” Jiang Lingbai was so frightened that his undead appeared. He continuously threw some hidden weapons and talismans at the back, wanting to stop Li Qing, but unfortunately, it was useless.

How could Li Qing talk nonsense with him? He chased after him and chopped him in half with a knife.

“Finally killed!” Li Qing heaved a sigh of relief. This battle was tough, but fortunately, he still killed him without any accidents.

Even if something unexpected happened, Li Qing was still able to use the terrifying substance inside the Yin Yang Cylinder to kill it. However, if he did so, he might reveal a flaw and be discovered by others that something was wrong.

He searched through all the treasures on the corpse, and then dealt with the scene. He destroyed the corpse and wiped away the traces of the battle as much as possible.

He carefully checked several times until there were no flaws. A cloud of Yin and Yang appeared beneath his feet and flew into the sky.

Shortly after Li Qing rode the Yin Yang Cloud and flew into the sky, a group of people arrived at the scene of the battle. They saw the signal and rushed over to save them.

The old man in the lead had a majestic aura that was as deep as the ocean. He was a terrifying existence at the eighth level of the Xiantian realm. It was Cao Longfei’s master, named Fei Yiyuan!

“We’re late!” He sighed and shook his head when he saw that the battlefield was completely devastated. Most of the traces of the battle had been erased.

There were only two corpses left on the ground. They belonged to Jiang Lingbai and Li Shanshu. They put away his corpse and prepared to bring it back to the sect for burial.

“This time, I really lost a lot of money. The murderer was not found, and in the end, another genius was lost!” One of them sighed.

“The murderer shouldn’t be far away, let’s chase him!”

After losing so many people, it was impossible for him to give up.

However, they quickly stopped and looked around. They discovered that there were no traces of the murderer in the surroundings. It was as if they had disappeared out of thin air. They didn’t know which direction they had fled in.

“Strange, where did the murderer escape to? Why isn’t there any trace? How should we track him down?” They felt very confused.

“Could it be that this person knows a top-notch lightness movement technique? Snow Stepping without Traces?” Fei Yiyuan narrowed his eyes. He always felt as if someone was spying on him. His entire body felt a little uncomfortable, but he couldn’t find where this person was.

This was a flat place with no place to hide. Why was this happening? Was this person’s concealment method so brilliant?

Or could it be said that the murderer could fly to the heavens and escape the earth?

“Eh? Soaring Heavens and Earth … Everyone, carefully search for any tunnels nearby!” Fei Yiyuan said in a deep voice.

After searching for a while, it was obvious that they were working in vain again. They couldn’t even find a deeper hole in the ground.

Suddenly, Fei Yiyuan suddenly raised his head to look up at the sky. He was extremely far-sighted, and the sky was clear. Similarly, there were no flying objects at high altitudes.

He couldn’t help but shake his head. It seemed that he was thinking too much. How could a Xiantian expert fly in this world?

…

Speaking of which, Li Qingfei was in the sky. Originally, he wanted to pry into the strength of this group of experts, but he didn’t expect that the vigilant old man would discover the clues and immediately flee.

The rest of the search teams could no longer have time to kill him. He did not stop and rode the Yin Yang Cloud towards Jiangyuan City.

We must return to Jiangyuan City before tonight!

Although he didn’t have much flying experience, Xiantian experts were so powerful that they wouldn’t lose their balance.

As he stepped on the Yin Yang Cloud, the ground beneath his feet shrunk countless times. Li Qing’s chest surged, and he could only feel his spirits rising. Flying high in the air was truly a pleasant thing!

He felt like an immortal, roaming between heaven and earth, facing a strong wind, beneath his feet was a clear view of the earth, like a high god.

“I didn’t expect that I would be able to reach this level in this life!” Li Qing couldn’t help but sigh. Back then, he was still a fifteen-year-old youth. He struggled to survive in the Lianyun Mountain Range, but today, he was flying high in the sky. This was something he never dreamed of.

In the evening, after a long flight, Li Qing returned to Jiangyuan City under the sunset light. He quietly found a deserted place to land and then returned to Su Mansion.

Back in his small courtyard, Li Qing heaved a sigh of relief. He took a good bath, washed off the dirt on his body, and then changed into a clean dress. He immediately looked fresh and energetic, as if he had never appeared before. No one could see anything strange.

He opened the courtyard door and walked out. Soon, he met the patrol guards on the road.

They couldn’t help but be stunned. “Protector Li has finally come out of seclusion! The City Lord has an order. If you come out of seclusion, go find the City Lord immediately. He has something to discuss with you.”

“Alright, I know!” Li Qing nodded.

He quickly arrived at City Lord Su’s courtyard, and after the servants notified him, he entered. When the servants left, there was no one else in the room. City Lord Su whispered, “Is the process of seclusion going smoothly?”

Li Qing nodded slightly, “Everything went smoothly.”

Both of them understood the meaning behind these words.

City Lord Su smiled and said, “Well, in order to celebrate your defeat of Cao Longfei and the others, I have already arranged a dinner party in advance and invited all the major families in the city to come.”

“Oh? You’re ready, but if I don’t come back on time, wouldn’t I be showing off?”

“I’m sure you’ll be back on time!” City Lord Su said in a deep voice.

…

That night, not long after Li Qing left seclusion, City Lord Su hosted a small banquet. There weren’t many people at the banquet, only a few members of the Su Clan and the heads of some large clans in Jiangyuan City.

Nominally, it was to celebrate Li Qing defeating Cao Longfei and the other enemies, preserving Jiang Yuan City’s autonomy, and the fact that he was about to enter the Dragon-Phoenix Rankings.

However, the real purpose of hosting this banquet was to let Li Qing show his face and let others know that Li Qing had appeared in Su Mansion tonight, dispelling the suspicion of committing a crime.

The banquet was held very smoothly. The whole process was enjoyable. The banquet was filled with praises for Li Qing. There was a flattering tone in his tone, and most of them were aimed at him.

Li Qing wasn’t very interested in this, but he still treated the guests politely. The entire banquet proceeded in an orderly manner until the end of the banquet. Suddenly, a servant came to report that the messenger from Wanqing City had requested to see him.
