The Heavenly Saber Novel - Chapter 271
Chapter 271 The Storm Rose Again
“So … you actually used a knife!” The three old men died in grief.
After Li Qing instantly slashed out three times, he quickly put the Heavenly Saber into his spatial ring and was not discovered by anyone else.
Seeing these three Xiantian sixth layer experts fall to the ground and break into two, the hearts of most of the people present couldn’t help but feel a chill rise in their hearts.
“What is this situation? These three people clearly suppressed Li Qing and held the upper hand. Why are all of them suddenly dead?” Someone asked doubtfully.
“I seem to have seen a wisp of purple saber light in the Three Talents Sword Realm! It flashed!” Another person said.
“Could it be that Li Qing has been hiding his strength? His most powerful martial art is actually his saber technique!”
They discussed one after another, and their gazes at Li Qing were filled with reverence. None of the three Xiantian sixth layer experts were his opponents. Just how powerful was this young man?
Although he might have relied on some unknown method to turn his defeat into victory in the end, winning was winning. There were not so many reasons.
“He defeated three Xiantian Sixth Layers. Why does he feel that no one in the younger generation is his opponent?”
“Doesn’t that mean that Li Qing’s ranking on the Dragon-Phoenix Rankings is at least in the top ten?”
“It’s hard to say. We haven’t seen any of the top ten figures on the Dragon-Phoenix Rankings make a move. We don’t dare to judge.”
…
As expected, after the news of this night spread out, it caused a huge uproar.
Everyone was a little dumbfounded! Isn’t this battle record a bit too mysterious? Why does it sound so unreal?
Especially those foreign martial artists, they couldn’t help but feel somewhat relieved. Originally, they wanted to come here to kill Li Qing and pick up a slip. They wanted to become famous overnight. They didn’t expect that this fellow wasn’t injured at all. His combat strength was intact and he pretended to be crippled in order to lure others into the bait.
Fortunately, they hadn’t had time to make a move, otherwise, they would all have been tricked to death by this fellow. Thinking about the fate of those people, they couldn’t help but shiver.
The three strongest experts of the Lu Clan were all killed by Li Qing in Su Mansion. In addition to the group of experts who had died in the center of the ruins, it could be said that all of the experts of the Lu Clan were already dead. Only two or three big cats and kittens were left. There was nothing to worry about.
Afterwards, after some verification, the identities of the mysterious figures who attacked Li Qing that night were finally revealed. Most of them were experts from some large clans in Xin’an City. These clans obeyed the orders of the Lu Clan and came to attack Li Qing. In the end, all of them died.
In other words, Li Qing alone carried so many experts in Xin’an City that night. It was almost the same as fighting alone in the city and successfully killing them.
His battle achievements were impressive and shocking to the world. This was a figure from the younger generation? How could he feel like he could compete with the experts of the older generation?
Can the top ten of the Dragon-Phoenix Rankings do this?
More importantly, Li Qing’s cultivation was only at the third level of the Xiantian realm, and he had surpassed so many realms to defeat the enemy. This was simply heaven-defying! It had been a long time since such a perverted figure had appeared in the Eastern Region.
“Are you trying to break through the horizon?” Many people had no choice but to sigh.
However, there were also many people who were skeptical of this battle result, because it was simply too unbelievable. It was hard for them to believe that such a powerful figure could actually appear in such a remote place like Jiangyuan City.
Some people speculated that this was possible only through scheming. Perhaps Li Qing had used some external force, or someone was helping him. It was not because of his true strength. This situation could not be counted as being ranked on the Dragon-Phoenix Rankings.
However, even if it was only 50% true, it would still be enough to shock the world. No wonder he was ranked 60th on the Dragon-Phoenix Rankings. Looks like the Heavenly Alliance’s people have good eyesight.
A few days later, Jiang Yuan City Lord and Commander Zhang returned to Jiang Yuan City and held a celebration banquet for Li Qing.
In fact, they had deliberately left Jiangyuan City before. On the surface, they wanted to take charge of other cities, but in reality, they wanted to make Jiangyuan City’s defensive power empty and let others feel that they could take advantage of it. Then, they came to kill Li Qing, so that they could be easily dealt with by him.
Now, it seemed that this plan had indeed taken effect, and the effect was surprisingly good. After the battle, Xin’an City was completely defeated, and the experts were almost all dead.
With the decline of Xin’an City, Jiang Yuan City would be the biggest city in this region from now on, and no one could compare to it. Unfortunately, Jiang Yuan City still lacked manpower. There were only a few Xiantian experts. Even if they wanted to take over the city, they still had no strength left.
Even if he took over the city, he wouldn’t be able to defend it.
The development of a large power usually takes a long time. Jiang Yuan City had received the help of Li Qing. Its power had indeed soared, but it was only a nouveau riche. If something unexpected happened to Li Qing, he would probably return to his original form, or even be even more miserable than before.
Previously, Li Qing had been injured by Fei Yiyuan, so he immediately jumped out to cause trouble. This was the best proof. In order to maintain long-term stability, it was necessary to increase the number of top experts.
The top priority was to recruit experts and cultivate talents from the clan. Now that so many foreign martial artists had poured into this region, it was an excellent opportunity. Although many of them harbored evil intentions, most of them were only here to try their luck. They were innocent and could be recruited into Jiangyuan City to serve.
Li Qing, on the other hand, did not care about these matters. These were all handled by the City Lord of Jiangyuan City. He himself never interfered, only occasionally giving some opinions.
In the following period of time, many cities in the surroundings were in chaos. Many people were even robbed by Xiantian experts and killed. Even Xin’an City was attacked and almost broke through. Fortunately, the skinny camels were bigger than horses, and there was still a remnant of strength in the city that could withstand it.
The outside world was in such chaos, but Jiang Yuan City had calmed down a lot. Nothing unexpected happened again. Many malicious characters had actually gone into hibernation.
The storms outside had nothing to do with Jiangyuan City anymore. Ever since the news that Li Qing was not injured spread, no one dared to come to Jiangyuan City. There was a quiet and peaceful scene inside the city.
Without the interference of so many mundane matters, Li Qing finally had time to calm down and digest the results of this period of time.
After killing so many Xiantian experts, he had obtained many spatial rings. Basically, they were all the wealth of Xiantian experts. There was simply too much wealth, making one feel a little numb.
Li Qing took away most of the spirit stones and some precious materials, and gave the rest to City Lord Su to deal with. In particular, the weapons and equipment on these experts were all high-grade True Weapons and above. They were extremely precious and could be used openly.
Jiang Yuan City had obtained tremendous benefits from these battles. With such strong capital, they immediately began to recruit more martial artists and set up a regular army. There were a total of 3,000 people, all of whom were Houtian 6th layer or above martial artists. They were called Jiang Yuan Army.
Jiang Yuan’s army was equipped with excellent weapons and equipment. They trained regularly every day and practiced battle formations. With so many people forming a grand battle formation, even Xiantian experts would not be able to escape if they were trapped inside.
Apart from establishing this Jiang Yuan army, there were three other Xiantian experts who came to seek refuge. All of them were Xiantian 3-dan experts. They were attracted by the conditions offered by Jiang Yuan City, and after joining the Su Clan, they would be able to obtain a high-grade True Artifact.
No wonder someone was tempted by such a precious weapon.
After communicating for a while and carefully investigating the past history of these people, none of them had done anything bad. City Lord Su was completely relieved and allowed these Xiantian experts to serve as guests of the Su Clan.
At least, if Li Qing wasn’t around, he wouldn’t be in a hurry to be invaded by the foreign enemies.
In fact, this is a special period, not normal, not lasting long. Countless foreign martial artists poured into this area. Once the remnants of the Misty Forest were explored and the curtain fell on this matter, the troops from all walks of life would retreat. This area should be peaceful again. At that time, it would be impossible for so many Xiantian experts to appear. There was no need for Jiangyuan City to be so nervous.
…
Ignoring the storms outside, Li Qing went into seclusion again. There was a huge wooden bucket in the middle of his room. There was some light green liquid inside the barrel. This was the Body Forging Spiritual Liquid.
Obviously, he was cultivating the Nine Revolutions of the Divine Elephant
Speaking of which, it had been a long time since he had cultivated the Ninth Revolution of the Divine Elephant. Ever since he had the Myriad Demon True Body, he had thought that such a top-grade body refining technique would no longer be used in the Ninth Revolution of the Divine Elephant.
However, after such a long period of experience, Li Qing felt that it was necessary to cultivate the Nine Revolutions of the Divine Elephant.
The Ten Thousand Demon True Body was indeed the world’s top peerless technique. Compared to the Ninth Cycle of the Divine Elephant, it was much higher. It could be cultivated infinitely without the upper limit of its strength. However, the problem was that the speed at which the Myriad Demon True Body increased its strength was a bit slow. It needed to continuously cultivate, and it would not necessarily be able to increase its strength for a very long time.
However, the Ninth Revolution of the Divine Elephant was different. After cultivating this divine art, one’s strength increased very quickly, and it could increase tremendous strength in a short period of time. This kind of advantage was incomparable to any cultivation method in the world.
Of course, the flaw was that every revolution of the Nine Revolutions of the Divine Elephant was limited. Every revolution would increase a fixed amount of strength. Not only that, it would also require a large amount of materials. It was extremely difficult to gather all of these materials. Ordinary people simply couldn’t afford to cultivate.
However, Li Qing did not have this problem. He was very wealthy now and did not lack these materials. Moreover, Jiang Yuan City was also gathering materials for him. He didn’t need to personally do it, so he didn’t need to waste any time at all. He only needed to gather all the materials to cultivate. It was truly too convenient.
The Ninth Revolution of the Divine Elephant and the True Body of All Fiends could be cultivated at the same time. There was no conflict between the two. Cultivating the Ninth Revolution of the Divine Elephant was equivalent to increasing tremendous strength out of thin air. Naturally, Li Qing would not let go of such a good thing.
Originally, when he was still in the Southern Domain, he had already cultivated the first revolution and gathered some materials for the second revolution. Later, he had been delayed because he wanted to break through to the Xiantian realm. Now, he finally had enough time.
In the past, when they were in the Southern Domain, the materials weren’t completely collected, and they were lacking a lot. In particular, there was a material called the Crystal Clam Pearl. It was extremely rare in the Southern Domain. Normally, this kind of thing only appeared in the East China Sea. Originally, when they thought that there would be no chance to gather it all, they didn’t expect Li Qing to actually come to the Eastern Domain. It had to be said that this was really too coincidental. It was truly the fate of heaven.
The Eastern Region wasn’t too far from the Eastern Sea. Many seafood products flowed inland. Crystal clam beads weren’t rare, so it was easy to collect them.
Li Qing had already instructed City Lord Su to help collect the materials for the second level of the Nine Revolutions of the Divine Elephant. Now that he had gathered more than a dozen of them, he could cultivate at any time. Coincidentally, the situation had stabilized a little. There was no need to worry about Jiangyuan City for the time being, so he took time to start cultivating.
Nothing unexpected happened during the entire process. After more than a month of bitter cultivation, Li Qing finally completed the second level of the Nine Revolutions of the Divine Elephant, increasing his strength by two.
The power of two images was equivalent to 20,000 jin. Li Qing’s combined strength was already close to 100,000 jin. It was extremely terrifying. By relying solely on his physical strength, he would probably be able to suppress a Xiantian 5th layer expert.
During this period of time, as Li Qing’s cultivation continued to increase, his True Essence was truly too rich. His dantian was like a sea, causing his Qi refining strength to be even stronger than his body refining strength.
However, now that his strength had suddenly increased by 20,000 jin, the two of them were about to level off again. Dual Cultivation of Dharma and Physique, the two paths advancing side by side, this was extremely good news. .
Combined with his unparalleled true essence and terrifying physical strength, Li Qing was already an invincible existence below the seventh level of the Xiantian realm.
If it wasn’t for the fact that he had never fought against someone at the seventh level of the Innate Realm and was unable to determine the specific situation, he would have felt that he was able to fight against him. The Heaven and Earth Dharma Form was not invincible either. If his strength was strong enough to break through ten thousand Dharma Forms, he might be able to shatter the Heaven and Earth Dharma Form.
…
During this month, the Jiangyuan City was very calm. Nothing major happened, but the outside world was full of surging winds and clouds. All sorts of people came one after another.
In the exploration of the Ruins Center, the sects had failed to enter the Yin Yang Hall even after sacrificing the lives of dozens of elite disciples. Without a way to ascend the Heavenly Road, they would not be able to enter the Yin Yang Hall. This path cut them off like a heavenly chasm.
However, they didn’t dare to send the genius disciples of their own sect to their deaths, so they didn’t dare to enter.
The entire ruins were empty. Only the Yin Yang Hall might have treasures. The rest of the ruins had already been swept clean by a hateful fellow, leaving not a single chicken feather behind. They didn’t want to return empty-handed. With so many people dead, how could they give up so easily? Therefore, they planned to send people to ask the Heavenly Alliance for help.
However, before they could send people to the Heavenly Alliance, something unexpected happened. It was unknown who had leaked the news that the ruins were left behind by the ancient Yin Yang Palace and contained the inheritance of the Yin Yang Palace.
This piece of news immediately ignited the situation. Under the impetus of someone with a heart, the news quickly spread. Originally, it was confined to the three continents, but after hearing this news, countless great powers were moved.
This place gathered countless gazes, becoming the focus of the entire Eastern Region.
This was the inheritance of the Yin Yang Palace! He came from the same bloodline as the Dao Sect and had a long history. No one would not want to obtain this inheritance. Even though some powers already possessed a top-notch cultivation technique, they still wanted to use it for reference, hoping to obtain some enlightenment.
Actually, many powers in this world had countless connections with the Ancient Dao Sect. Many cultivation techniques originated from the various Dao Sect techniques. It could be said that the Dao Sect was the source of all powers in this world.
The Ancient Dao Sect represented orthodoxy!
Very quickly, many factions came to this place and entered the Misty Forest. They wanted a piece of the pie. After all, you don’t dare to enter. Why don’t we give it a try?
It was rumored that many geniuses had shown interest in this and wanted to try to enter the Heavenly Road.
More and more martial artists rushed into this area. Even Jiangyuan City was overcrowded, and the number of martial artists had soared.
Following that, there were all kinds of security problems. The chivalrous warrior used the Martial Chaos Taboo to fight. Fortunately, Jiangyuan City had established a new army of martial artists, which was enough to suppress these small troubles. Therefore, not much had happened.
Not long after, a Xiantian 5th layer expert broke into the Su Clan’s mansion to challenge Li Qing, but he slapped him and flew away in a sorry state.
A few days later, another Xiantian sixth layer expert was repelled by Li Qing and his leg was broken as a form of punishment…
After that, no one dared to challenge Li Qing. With so many accomplishments, it meant that he was truly too powerful. If anyone dared to provoke him again, they would simply be courting death.
This news naturally caused a sensation in Jiangyuan City. Such an undefeated battle record made more and more people worship Li Qing endlessly. However, these things were not very eye-catching in the outside world, because the ruins attracted the attention of most people.
Ordinary people didn’t dare to challenge Li Qing, but those who weren’t ordinary weren’t necessarily. Geniuses were usually arrogant, refusing to believe that someone would be stronger than them. They would not let it go unless they personally competed.
Although this kind of competition was not very useful, and fighting bravely and winning might result in losing one’s life, if these proud young people did not decide the outcome, their martial arts heart would be affected, and their path of cultivation would be hindered.
Not long after, a figure wearing a gorgeous jade robe appeared in front of Jiangyuan City. He was handsome, had a fair face, and had a feminine temperament. Behind him were a few beautiful maids. He looked like a handsome young master who was traveling with beauty.
This person was none other than the genius disciple of the Jade True Sect, Kong Dongqiang, who was ranked 61st on the Dragon-Phoenix Rankings.
