The Heavenly Saber Novel - Chapter 267
Chapter 267 Take Advantage of the Fire to Rob
Li Qing looked deeply at City Lord Su and saw that his expression did not seem to be fake. He nodded and said, “Indeed, I did not misjudge you!”
City Lord Su said, “Don’t be discouraged. I will try my best to find spiritual medicines to treat your injuries. Even if I can’t recover my strength, I won’t cripple your limbs. I should be able to be a normal and healthy person.”
“Big Brother Li–” Just as she was speaking, Su Jingxiang’s voice suddenly came from outside. Not long after, she rushed in, her face full of nervousness.
“Big Brother Li, how are you?” Su Jingxiang pounced on Li Qing’s body. Seeing his bloody appearance, she couldn’t help but shed tears. She reached out and gently caressed the wounds on his body, her eyes filled with pity.
“It doesn’t matter. I won’t die. My body is dirty. Don’t get too close.” Li Qing smiled and gently pushed her away.
“I’m not afraid of dirt!” Su Jingxiang wiped her tears and continued to gently hug Li Qing. She said gently, “If your injuries really can’t be healed, then let me take care of you in the future.”
Su Jingxiang looked at him affectionately. Her eyes were filled with a blazing light, which made Li Qing unable to bear it.
Since she was injured, why did her eyes seem to be filled with joy, but her love was even more intense? This was a bit strange.
The woman’s thoughts were really hard to guess. Li Qing could only shake his head, “I don’t need you to take care of me. I…”
Su Jingxiang immediately interrupted him, “No, I have to take care of you! Stop being stubborn. I know your hardship. You have been silently protecting Jiangyuan City for so long. Now that you are seriously injured and rumors have it that you are going to become a cripple, it is my turn to protect you.”
Li Qing smiled bitterly, “You let me finish my sentence.”
“Oh?”
“Actually, I can recover.” Li Qing said solemnly.
“It can’t be?” The Su Clan’s father and daughter exclaimed at the same time.
Su Jingxiang said suspiciously, “With such a serious injury, most people would probably die. Moreover, that old monster even said that it broke your dantian! How can you recover from such an injury?”
“Because I’m not an ordinary person!” Li Qing smiled straightforwardly and did not explain further. Instead, the purple light on his body shone brightly and was extremely resplendent, causing the Su Clan father and daughter to be unable to open their eyes.
Rumble!
In his dantian, it was as if the violet sea was surging. His True Essence was too deep and condensed. It swept through the sky and soared into the sky, as if it could shatter the heavens and the sun.
These surging True Essence surged out and flowed to all parts of his body. It was filled with vigor and vitality. Combined with the Myriad Demon True Body, its reputation was extremely shocking.
City Lord Su felt this grand aura and couldn’t help but be shocked. This was the first time he had seen Li Qing’s true strength. It was simply like facing a god in the sky. It was truly too terrifying.
Within the purple light, Li Qing’s injuries were being healed at a visible rate. His flesh and blood rapidly wriggled and then healed together. Dead skin constantly peeled off, and blood scab solidified.
In just a quarter of an hour, Li Qing had already completely healed the shallow wounds. As for the more serious injuries in his body, he needed more time to recover. He was afraid that it would be difficult to recover in a short period of time.
This time, his injuries were too severe. He needed to consume a huge amount of energy. His face was a little pale, but his appearance had become intact. He looked much better than before.
“This is true essence! This is true essence! Your dantian hasn’t been broken!” City Lord Su was overjoyed.
“Of course. If I don’t even have the confidence to do so, how would I dare to accept this palm strike so easily?” Li Qing smiled.
In fact, Fei Yiyuan’s palm was indeed aimed at Li Qing’s dantian. It was extremely sinister and vicious. Even if this palm really came next, it would still shatter his dantian.
In the end, he did not expect that Li Qing’s dantian was still suppressing a large Yin Yang Grindstone. Its defense was extremely powerful. After all, this damaged Dao Artifact was not something that ordinary people could break through.
“Your body is simply too strong. To be able to recover so well in such a short period of time is simply a miracle! What kind of method is this?” City Lord Su sized up his body and clicked his tongue in amazement. Was this still the person who was on the verge of death just now? No one would believe that Li Qing was about to die not long ago.
“This is a body refining technique that I cultivate. It has a very remarkable effect on the healing of wounds.” Li Qing roughly explained.
Su Jingxiang looked at Li Qing’s intact skin curiously and even reached out to touch it a few times, as if she wanted to see if this was true. Just now, the location here was a mess of flesh and blood. In the blink of an eye, the wound had disappeared. It felt like a magic trick.
City Lord Su sighed repeatedly, “I didn’t expect that even a Xiantian 8th layer palm wouldn’t be able to injure you. It really surprised me. If this matter were to spread out, I’m afraid it would shock countless people.”
Li Qing said, “Actually, this time, it is indeed very dangerous. Although I didn’t die, I’m not far from death. I didn’t expect that the strength of a single palm of the eighth level of the Xiantian realm would be so strong. If it weren’t for my numerous trump cards, I’m afraid I wouldn’t be able to escape this calamity today.”
Su Jingxiang pouted her lips and said somewhat discontentedly, “It made me happy in vain that I recovered so quickly.”
Li Qing and City Lord Su couldn’t help but be stunned, “Why are you happy for nothing? Could it be that it’s better if you can’t recover from your injuries?”
Su Jingxiang blushed and stammered, “That’s because … if you’re injured, then I can take care of you for the rest of your life, and you won’t leave me.”
City Lord Su laughed heartily. He didn’t expect his always gentle and considerate daughter to have such a childish side. He said, “Li Qing can’t be injured. If he is injured, then our Jiangyuan City will be in danger.”
Li Qing also shook his head with a bitter smile. No wonder Su Jingxiang’s sad face had a joyful expression just now. So it was because of this.
Seeing that Li Qing was able to recover from his injuries and that his dantian hadn’t shattered, City Lord Su didn’t need to worry anymore. The haze on his face disappeared and he was in a very good mood. He said, “Alright, since you can recover on your own, we won’t disturb you anymore. If you need any resources and treasures, just let me know. I will definitely do my best to help you.”
…
After the Su Clan’s father and daughter left, Li Qing began to fully recover from his injuries. Two of his limbs were broken, and the number of bones on his body was unknown. His internal injuries were very serious, so the situation was not optimistic.
This time, his injuries were too severe. It would probably take a long time for him to fully recover. No matter how heaven-defying the Myriad Demon True Body was, it was impossible for him to instantly recover from any injuries. After all, he had only reached the first level.
After a day had passed, he had recovered more than half of his injuries. The rest would probably need to slowly recover. There was no need to be too anxious about this.
Just as Li Qing was recovering from his injuries in seclusion, the outside world was unable to remain calm.
Because the news of Li Qing being crippled by Fei Yiyuan quickly spread throughout the area, the Su Clan lost their protector, and many people began to have strange thoughts.
The Su Clan occupied four cities, but there were only two or three Xiantian experts. This was a big piece of fat meat.
“This time, the Su Clan will be in a terrible situation. Without Li Qing, they will instantly be beaten back to their original state. I want to see how they will get through this difficult time.” Someone was gloating.
Not long after, one of the Su Clan’s transport teams was robbed and suffered heavy losses. After some investigation, this was done by a rogue Xiantian expert.
Another day passed. Baifu City was ambushed and the city guards suffered heavy casualties. City Lord Su immediately rushed over after receiving the news and calmed down the disturbance.
Another day passed. Yu Tian City and Leshan City were also ambushed by Xiantian experts. No one was able to stop them. After breaking through the city, they easily left. They were extremely arrogant.
At that moment, the Su Clan caught fire everywhere and was caught in a dilemma.
Many people were gloating. The nouveau riche were the nouveau riche. Once they encountered this kind of problem, they would immediately collapse and fall apart. Based on this situation, Jiangyuan City seemed to be on the verge of extinction.
“Jiangyuan City is going to die.” Someone said in a very certain tone.
“Success is also Li Qing, defeat is also Li Qing.”
“This is an arrogant person. He actually dares to forcefully receive a palm strike from a Xiantian eighth layer expert. He is simply overestimating himself.”
“A fallen genius, then he’s not a genius. Not long ago, this person’s limelight was too high. Now, he should be punished.”
…
Hearing the news of the attack, Li Qing was also a little surprised. He didn’t expect the situation to be so serious. The storm was too violent. He had only been injured for a few days, and there were so many people who took advantage of the fire to rob him.
It seemed that it was time for him to show his face, so as to prevent the situation from collapsing beyond his control. If they didn’t act to intimidate them, these people would become bolder and bolder.
Actually, his injuries were almost healed. He had just injured his Yuan Qi and needed to be replenished slowly. These were not things that could be recovered in a short period of time.
Just as he was about to make an appearance, there was news that the seven cities allied with Jiangyuan City had arrived at the Su Clan, wanting to discuss a major matter.
“Oh? Talk about big matters?” Li Qing sneered, “This is not good.”
Who would have thought that the seven cities that had just formed an alliance would be unable to restrain their thoughts so quickly. It was indeed hard to change their nature to take advantage of the fire to rob them.
Then he said to the servant, “Bring me a wheelchair. I want to see what they want to do.”
“Wheelchair?” This servant was stunned.
Li Qing waved his hand and said, “Just go and prepare it for me. Don’t ask about the rest. I have my own uses.”
The servant said respectfully, “Yes.”
Very quickly, the wheelchair was moved over. Li Qing sat on it, then he turned the wheelchair and arrived at the main hall of the Su Family.
At this moment, there were quite a few people in the Su Clan’s main hall, and there were quite a few people from the Su Clan’s upper echelons. The others were experts from the other seven cities, gathered together.
Li Qing arrived at the door in his wheelchair and soon heard the sound from inside.
The people from the seven cities were obviously unkind, aggressive, and extremely arrogant. Even their voices were much louder than usual.
City Lord Wanqing said loudly, “The seven of us have come together to discuss a matter of life and death with your Jiangyuan City.”
City Lord Su’s expression did not change. Although he knew the intentions of these people in his heart, he did not expose them. He said indifferently, “If there is anything, please speak frankly.”
“I heard that Li Qing has been crippled by Fei Yiyuan. Is this true?”
City Lord Su shook his head, “Absurd, how could a genius like Li Qing be crippled so easily? Don’t listen to the rumors outside! He’s still fine.”
City Lord Wanqing laughed loudly, “Haha, I can admire the palm strike of an eighth level Xiantian expert. However, there will definitely be a huge price to pay. I don’t think the rumors outside are completely rumors.”
“It is indeed a rumor. Li Qing is in good health.” City Lord Su emphasized once again.
“Do you think I’ll believe your nonsense?” City Lord Wanqing sneered. The more this happened, the more convinced he was that Li Qing’s situation was not good.
“Then what do you want?” City Lord Su was no longer entangled in this matter.
“It’s very simple. In the past, we formed an alliance to seek protection. Now that Li Qing has been crippled, your Jiangyuan City is probably not as strong as my Wanqing City. The purpose of the alliance was completely unattainable. Therefore, it’s time for us to change the agreement we signed earlier.”
As expected!
City Lord Su shook his head and said indifferently, “I didn’t expect you guys to tear your faces apart so quickly. It’s truly too impatient. I wasted my time agreeing to form an alliance with you so easily, but I didn’t expect that all of you would be a bunch of wolf hearts and dog lungs!”
City Lord Wanqing snorted coldly, “It’s useless to say more. Let’s do it on business.”
“Then how do you think we should change it?”
“First of all, the position of Alliance Master. Your Jiangyuan City is not as strong as our Wanqing City. Do you still have the face to continue? Therefore, the position of Alliance Master must be taken by my Wanqing City! You must listen to my orders!”
“And then?” City Lord Su’s face was expressionless.
“Then, we are allies. Of course, we have to help each other. I heard that your cities have been attacked to a certain extent and suffered heavy losses. I’m afraid you won’t even be able to protect yourself. I feel very anxious. Why don’t you leave all three of your cities to us to protect?”
City Lord Su narrowed his eyes and said coldly, “You guys actually stared at my city. Do you think I will agree?”
“Hehe, you have to agree even if you don’t agree. We are helping you out with good intentions. Please don’t act impulsively. I’m afraid that you won’t be able to preserve these cities anyway. Rather than letting outsiders off the hook, it’s better to leave them to us.”
“You are plotting against our Su Clan’s city. Could it be that the previous attack was related to you? Otherwise, how could ordinary people attack so quickly? Attacking three cities at the same time is clearly a premeditated action.”
City Lord Wanqing sneered, “So what? So what if it’s not? Anyway, all of this is meaningless. Fists are the hard truth!”
“Do you have any other requests?” City Lord Su did not comment.
“Well, one more thing is that we signed a lot of unequal agreements back then, and now of course we have to revise them. Also, in order to strengthen our intimate relationship, how about we marry together?”
“Marriage?”
“That’s right, marry your daughter to me! This way, we will become in-laws. What a close relationship!” City Lord Wanqing laughed loudly.
“How dare you try to plot against my daughter! My daughter is my life! Whoever dares to steal my daughter, I will take his life!” City Lord Su was furious.
“Hmph, you actually dare to be so arrogant now? Do you really think that you still have an expert guarding you like before? If you want to take my life, then let’s see if you have the ability to do so!” City Lord Wanqing was extremely confident and didn’t fear City Lord Su at all.
“Oh? Is that so?”
Right at this moment, Li Qing’s voice came in. Everyone was shocked and turned their heads. They saw him slowly walking in with his wheelchair.
“It’s you, Li Qing!” The seven city lords were shocked. Seeing that his injuries seemed to have healed, some of them were so scared that their faces turned pale. However, seeing him sitting in a wheelchair again, they seemed to be unable to move, so they felt relieved.
“Don’t panic, he should be disabled!” Someone secretly reminded.
“Haha, Li Qing, you’re really crippled! You’re actually sitting in a wheelchair. However, your injuries have healed so quickly? This is a bit unexpected.”
Seeing that the conjecture had become a reality, no one in Jiangyuan City could stop him anymore. With the cooperation of the seven city masters, they could definitely destroy Jiangyuan City.
The seven city lords inadvertently revealed a sinister smile.
Li Qing pretended to cough a few times and revealed a faint smile. He sighed and said, “Tiger Falling Pingyang was bullied by a dog. Sure enough, these words did not deceive me. However, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Are you sure that I really don’t have any fighting strength anymore?”
“Hmph, I don’t believe it. Judging from your appearance, it’s weird that you’re capable of fighting.”
“Even though I’m already considered half crippled, I still have some last bit of strength left. Do you think I’ve declined and can be bullied? Then I’ll accompany you in your final battle.” Li Qing said with a calm expression.
The seven City Lords were all stunned. They were clearly crippled, so how could they still retain some strength? This was truly too strange, and they were hesitant.
“Everyone, don’t be tricked by him. He’s clearly trying to scare us! I’ve never heard of anyone who has residual strength when they’re crippled!” A city lord said loudly.
“Shouldn’t we just give it a try?” Li Qing laughed loudly. His voice was like a great bell that shook the nine heavens, causing the entire Su Clan’s main hall to tremble.
Everyone was shocked. With such a loud voice, could it really be that there was still strength?
Boom!
In the next moment, purple light gushed out from Li Qing’s body. It was dazzling and dazzling. He took the initiative to stretch out a hand and grabbed towards a city lord.
Chi!
The city lord let out a miserable scream. Li Qing tore him apart like a scarecrow, easily splitting him into two pieces. Blood dripped down on the hall.
