The Heavenly Saber Novel - Chapter 266
Chapter 266 Take My Palm
“I am a person on the Dragon-Phoenix Rankings. According to the rules of the Eastern Heavenly Alliance, you are not allowed to attack me at will.” Li Qing suddenly said.
This was a protective measure for geniuses. He knew a little about this, and he might make the other party fear it a little.
The Heavenly Alliance was an alliance formed by all the great sects in the Eastern Region. It was originally organized by the Four Great Sacred Grounds and possessed supreme authority.
The Dragon-Phoenix Rankings were drawn up by the Heavenly In order to protect the geniuses on the list and prevent them from being assassinated by the enemy forces, it was stipulated that no one should easily attack these geniuses. Otherwise, it would be provoking the Heavenly Alliance. The consequences would be very serious.
In fact, the Flying Frost Sect was also an ordinary member of the Heavenly Alliance, but it wasn’t very conspicuous. This structure was also relatively loose. Everyone was only a member of the alliance, and there was no difference between superiors and subordinates.
“Haha, what a joke. Do you think you can survive by relying on this rule?” Fei Yiyuan laughed wildly. “Not to mention that the new Dragon-Phoenix Rankings hasn’t come out yet, you are still not a person on the Rankings. So what if you are really a genius on the Dragon-Phoenix Rankings? Without background and strength, I will kill you. Will the Eastern Heavenly Alliance still make things difficult for me for a dead person like you?”
Li Qing shook his head disappointedly. “Is the so-called authority trampled so easily? I’m very disappointed with this so-called Heavenly Alliance.”
“Hmph, no one will come to save you now. You don’t need to expect the rules of the Heavenly Alliance to bind me. This is useless! Unless the people of the Heavenly Alliance appear in front of me immediately, no one will be able to save you!” Fei Yiyuan said disdainfully.
Just as he finished speaking, a clear voice suddenly came from the noisy crowd, “Oh? Is that so?”
“Who?” Fei Yiyuan frowned.
“Didn’t you say that you wanted the Heavenly Alliance’s people to appear in front of you immediately? I am.” A middle-aged man dressed in a black suit walked out, followed by a few subordinates.
This was a Xiantian Seventh Stage expert, and the few people following behind him were at least Xiantian Fourth Stage experts. This was a very powerful team.
Fei Yiyuan found it hard to believe, “What? Are you from the Heavenly Alliance? How could it be so coincidental? I don’t believe it!”
The middle-aged man took out a token, raised it high and said coldly, “Here is the identification card! I am the senior deacon of the Heavenly Alliance, my name is Feng Yu!”
Seeing this token, Fei Yiyuan’s expression changed. He couldn’t help but exclaim, “Indeed, it is the deacon of the Heavenly Alliance! He actually appeared! Isn’t this a coincidence?”
I didn’t expect that his casual words would actually attract the deacon of the Heavenly Alliance. Could it be a crow’s mouth?
“Why did you appear in such a remote place?” Fei Yiyuan was puzzled.
Feng Yu said, “Li Qing defeated Cao Longfei. His name will appear on the new list. According to the past practice, we have to check the authenticity of this battle record to prevent any fraudsters from appearing. However, we didn’t expect to run into such a good show.”
“So it’s to test the authenticity of the battle record. That makes sense.”
Feng Yu sneered, “You said just now that even the Heavenly Alliance can’t do anything to you. This tone is really very big. The geniuses on the Dragon-Phoenix Rankings kill whenever they say so. Do you really think this rule is a joke?”
Although his cultivation was only at the seventh level of the Xiantian realm, which was slightly lower than Fei Yiyuan’s, he had the upper hand in terms of momentum. It was almost in a questioning tone that he said those words.
Facing the deacon of the Heavenly Alliance, Fei Yiyuan did not dare to be arrogant anymore. He could only forced a smile and said, “What I said just now can’t be true. The geniuses on the Dragon-Phoenix Rankings are the future hope of the Eastern Region. We should take good care of them. How could we really kill him?”
“Just lie to a child with your words. What’s the use to me?” Feng Yu said disdainfully, “After returning, I will definitely report this matter to the upper echelons and properly punish you guys who think you’re right. Do you really think our rules are useless?”
Obviously, Feng Yu was extremely angry at this.
“Didn’t I say something inappropriate? Are you really going to have a hard time with me for this small matter?” Fei Yiyuan’s expression was a little ugly.
“I’m just doing business.” Seeing Fei Yiyuan’s attitude, Feng Yu couldn’t help but get angry.
“But Li Qing hasn’t made the list yet. The new list hasn’t come out yet. Isn’t it against the rules for me to do so?”
“There’s no point in talking like this. We both know what’s going on. I won’t make things difficult for you. After we return, we’ll report this matter to the higher-ups. As for how the higher-ups will decide, it’s none of my business.” Feng Yu actually didn’t enter the oil and salt.
Anger flashed across Fei Yiyuan’s face, but he was unable to get angry. He could only say in a dull tone, “The rules say that we should not attack them easily, but that doesn’t mean that we can’t attack them at all. Li Qing injured my disciple. He was clearly the one who made the mistake first. It’s only natural for me to attack him.”
The Heavenly Alliance’s protection for these geniuses was also limited. If they caused a great calamity and did something wrong, then it would be their own fault if they were killed.
Feng Yu said, “Before I came here, I had already found out clearly. It was clearly your disciple who invaded Jiangyuan City first. They had no choice but to retaliate. Furthermore, they only injured him, and there would be no danger to his life. Therefore, you can’t deceive me with these words!”
Fei Yiyuan took a deep breath and suppressed his anger. “Do you have to stop me for this brat? No matter what, I have to take action today!”
“Are you provoking the Heavenly Alliance?” Feng Yu’s expression also became harsh. “I never said I would stop you. If you insist on taking action, it’s up to you. However, I will report what happened here.”
Facing this expert who was a level higher than him, he was actually not afraid at all. Instead, he was aggressive because his backers were too hard. As the messenger of the Heavenly Alliance, no one dared to offend him.
Fei Yiyuan clenched his fists tightly, wanting to forcefully attack, but he didn’t dare to do so. He sighed and said, “How about this, I will step back. If he can take a palm from me, then this matter will be over. How about it?”
Feng Yu frowned, “What’s the difference between you and killing him directly?”
“I’ve already made such a big concession. I hope you won’t be so aggressive! I won’t care about anything if I’m in a hurry!” Fei Yiyuan’s expression was gloomy.
Right at this moment, Li Qing suddenly stood up and nodded in agreement, “Alright, I’ll take your palm. Let this matter be over!”
“Li Qing, don’t!” City Lord Su hurriedly said, “This can be a Xiantian eighth layer expert! At that time, he will definitely attack with all his might. How can you block it?”
Everyone was also discussing. In their eyes, this was simply overestimating themselves! Recent victories have inflated him too much.
“In order not to make things difficult for this Heavenly Alliance messenger, I can only receive his palm strike. Otherwise, this matter will never end.” Li Qing smiled faintly, “Not to mention, he might not be able to kill me with a single palm!”
Feng Yu took a deep look at Li Qing and nodded, “You are not bad! Your courage is commendable. If you can take this palm without dying, then perhaps I can raise your ranking a bit higher.”
Who among the geniuses on the Dragon-Phoenix Rankings dared to say that they would be able to receive a palm strike from a Xiantian eighth layer expert? If he really succeeded, this would be an unbelievable feat! Even if it was reasonable, he should raise his ranking a little.
Fei Yiyuan smiled sinisterly and said, “I really don’t know if it’s better to say that you’re confident or arrogant. However, since you’ve agreed to this, it saves me a lot of trouble.”
Then he turned to the middle-aged man and said, “You shouldn’t have stopped me this time, right?”
Feng Yu nodded, “Since he has already agreed, then I won’t stop him. Remember, only one palm can be struck! Life and death are up to fate.”
“Haha, one palm is enough! If I can’t kill him, I’ll just kill myself!”
“Oh? You really know how to commit suicide?” Li Qing revealed a strange smile.
“What a joke! How could I fail!” Fei Yiyuan felt that it was very ridiculous. What was this guy laughing at? Did he really think that he would be able to survive under his palm?
“There are always surprises in this world! Perhaps you really failed. Please answer me directly. If you really didn’t kill me, are you sure you will commit suicide?” Li Qing asked again.
“You brat, you’re courting death!” Fei Yiyuan was furious. How could he really commit suicide? This was just bragging. He shouted, “I’m too lazy to talk nonsense with you. Take my palm!”
As soon as he finished speaking, he stretched out a hand. The white and cold True Essence in his hand rapidly condensed, forming an incomparably solid palm print.
As soon as the palm print appeared, the air within a radius of a thousand meters immediately became cold. A thin layer of white frost actually formed on the ground. The heavens and earth were bleak, and everything withered. The onlookers couldn’t stand the cold air and retreated by a large margin.
“What terrifying power!” Everyone sucked in a breath of cold air. Was Li Qing really able to withstand such a terrifying attack?
“Try the power of my Heavenly Frost Palm! Die!” Fei Yiyuan laughed sinisterly.
He threw out this palm and the palm print flew towards Li Qing. It looked slow, but it seemed to freeze everything. Even space was no exception, making people unable to move.
Li Qing could only feel a heavy pressure pounding down on his face, making him unable to breathe. The space seemed to have frozen, and his body was fixed in place, unable to dodge.
“Drink!”
Seeing that the white Heavenly Frost Palm was about to fly in front of him, he immediately shouted loudly. His voice shook the nine heavens, causing mountains and rivers to roar. A purple light soared into the sky, breaking through the freezing of space, and punched out at the palm with all his might.
Boom!
An earth-shattering voice sounded. Everyone could only feel the white light and purple light shining in the middle. They were incomparably dazzling, unable to see anything clearly. Then, a violent explosion occurred.
Perhaps the energy swept through the surroundings, and the white frost energy spread out, forming a white frost world. The purple light in the middle became weaker and weaker, as if it was difficult to hold on.
“This guy is dead!” Fei Yiyuan said disdainfully, too lazy to see what the result would be. This palm strike was almost his full strength strike, even a Xiantian seventh layer expert was seriously injured, let alone such a little fellow.
Moreover, Li Qing had to force himself to follow, unable to dodge. Under such circumstances, almost no one believed that he was still alive.
Under the watchful eyes of countless people, the smoke and dust finally dissipated. A large pit appeared in the middle. Li Qing was lying at the bottom of the pit, his entire body covered in blood and flesh. He could hardly see any intact place.
“Li Qing!” City Lord Su cried out loudly and hurriedly jumped into the pit to help him up.
There was actually a trace of aura! Everyone was shocked. If this kind of injury were to happen to ordinary people, they would undoubtedly die.
“Eh? He’s actually not dead yet? I thought even the corpse was going to be shattered.” Fei Yiyuan was also very surprised. He knew the power of that palm strike the most. He didn’t expect it to be like this, so he couldn’t help but look at it differently.
“What a pity. Even if he isn’t dead yet, I’m afraid he won’t be far from death.” Someone sighed.
“A generation of heroes died just like that.”
“He is too arrogant. He actually dares to take a blow from an eighth level Xiantian expert! He is simply courting death!” Someone was gloating.
Feng Yu looked at Li Qing’s injuries and shook his head, “The situation isn’t good! He won’t be able to live long.”
Fei Yiyuan laughed loudly, “This brat is dead. How can he not die after being struck by me? Even though he still has one breath left, it’s because Xiantian experts have strong vitality, but they won’t be able to last for long.”
Everyone in Su Mansion revealed worried expressions. Li Qing was the protector of Jiangyuan City. If he died like this, what would happen to Jiangyuan City?
Originally, Jiang Yuan City’s power was developing rapidly, but he didn’t expect that he would suddenly receive such a heavy blow. He was truly overjoyed and sad.
Just when everyone thought that Li Qing was doomed, Li Qing suddenly opened his eyes with a “whoosh”. His eyes were as bright as lightning. How could there be any sign of death?
“Wake up! Wake up!” Someone cried out in alarm.
Everyone looked over and found that Li Qing had awakened. He was still very clear-headed, and his eyes were like lightning. They couldn’t help but be shocked.
How could he survive in such a situation?
“Impossible!” Fei Yiyuan found it hard to believe.
“What’s impossible?” Li Qing coughed twice and coughed out blood. He said indifferently, “You said before that if you can’t kill me, then you will commit suicide. I wonder if your words count?”
Right now, he was powerless to move. He could only rely on City Lord Su to help him up and speak. Although his tone was weak, he could at least articulate clearly. Obviously, the situation was not bad, far from reaching the point where he was about to die.
Fei Yiyuan’s face immediately turned green. Just now, he had bragged too much and could not get off the stage.
‘”I didn’t attack with all my might just now, so I allowed you to survive by luck. But even if you didn’t die, you are still crippled. Moreover, your dantian should have been destroyed by me! You are now a cripple!”
Li Qing’s body was mangled with blood and flesh, and his injuries were extremely serious. He had broken one of his hands and feet. It looked like his entire body had been deformed. Being able to survive was a fluke. Fei Yiyuan did not say anything nonsense.
A cripple?
Everyone looked at Li Qing with different expressions. If he became a cripple, then it would be no different from dying, and even more uncomfortable than dying.
When mortals fell from the clouds, the geniuses of the past were about to perish. Some people actually felt extremely happy.
Li Qing’s face was stained with blood. He quietly looked at the faces of the people around him without any expression. In order not to reveal their secrets in front of them, they did not circulate the Myriad Demon True Body to recover. Who would have thought that someone would misunderstand him as a cripple?
Li Qing said, “It doesn’t matter if I’m a cripple or not. At the very least, I have already taken your palm. Do you mean what you say? As long as I take your palm, you will commit suicide. This is said in public. Do you want to break your promise?”
“Junior actually dares to be so aggressive! You’re courting death!” Fei Yiyuan was furious and wanted to attack again.
“What, are you still going to make a move?” Feng Yu couldn’t see through it anymore and immediately shouted, “I already gave in to your palm strike just now. Don’t challenge my bottom line now!”
Fei Yiyuan awkwardly stopped. He was about to lose all face this time. How could he dare to stay? He angrily said, “You’re lucky this time!”
With that, his figure flashed and he left.
Along with this old fellow’s departure, the Su Clan had managed to overcome this crisis, but it had damaged the protector of Jiangyuan City. It was unknown whether it was better to be happy or sad.
The people from the Su Clan hurriedly surrounded him and asked Li Qing about his health with concern.
“How is the situation? Is it really crippled?”
City Lord Su helped Li Qing up and waved to the crowd, “Alright, stop making noise! Everyone, disperse!”
Feng Yu walked forward and sighed at Li Qing, “You are outstanding. You can take a palm without dying. Unfortunately, you have already been crippled. It is truly a pity.”
“It doesn’t matter. Life and death are destined. Rich and honorable are in the heavens.” Li Qing’s expression was very calm, as if he was looking down on life and death. He couldn’t help but let Feng Yu look even higher. This realm was really high.
City Lord Su said, “Thank you so much for helping us out this time. However, now is not the time to speak. I need to hurry up and treat Li Qing. Please forgive me for the poor hospitality.”
“There’s no hurry. You guys go treat your injuries. I’ve already verified the situation. It’s time to go back.” Feng Yu was filled with regret.
“Then can Li Qing still make the Dragon-Phoenix Rankings?”
“Actually, he’s almost a cripple now. Originally, he couldn’t be on the Dragon-Phoenix Rankings anymore. But since I’ve already promised him, I naturally won’t break my promise. Furthermore, I have to raise my ranking. Therefore, his name will definitely appear on the new Dragon-Phoenix Rankings. Let him enjoy this honor, even if it’s only for one day!”
“Thank you.” Li Qing smiled faintly. Actually, he didn’t care about this list, but since the other party had such good intentions, he didn’t have to refuse.
After the conversation, City Lord Su immediately helped Li Qing back to his residence and asked, “Are you really unable to recover?”
“If I really can’t recover, what will you do to me?” Li Qing asked.
City Lord Su laughed loudly, “You don’t have to probe. I, Su, am not an ungrateful person! Even if you are only a cripple now, we will still keep you alive!”
