The Heavenly Saber Novel - Chapter 272

Chapter 272 Eccentric Youth

On the Dragon-Phoenix Rankings, Li Qing was ranked 60th, while Kong Dongqiang was 61st, just behind Li Qing.

Obviously, he was deeply ashamed of being ranked behind a wild boy from such a remote place. Therefore, he traveled thousands of miles to Jiangyuan City, wanting to fight with him to justify his name.

On the other hand, he had also heard that there was a ruin here, so he might even be able to obtain some benefits if he came by to take a chance.

His cultivation was at the fourth level of the Xiantian Realm. To be able to reach such a high cultivation at this age, he was indeed a talented person.

Originally, he was full of confidence and thought that he would be able to defeat Li Qing. However, halfway through the journey, he heard news that Li Qing had killed three Xiantian sixth layer experts, which made him somewhat uneasy.

Not to mention three Xiantian sixth layer characters, he couldn’t even defeat one, but Li Qing killed three in one breath. I heard that he also killed six or seven Xiantian fifth layer experts!

This was a bit heaven-defying. He found it hard to believe. If he hadn’t asked several people for the same answer, he would have suspected that this was fake news.

“Young man, how can he be so much stronger than me? I don’t believe it!” Kong Dongqiang secretly muttered to himself. He felt that this battle record should be very humid. Under normal circumstances, it was impossible for such a thing to happen.

Either it was fake news or Li Qing had used some sort of scheme to achieve it.

Especially when he heard that Li Qing’s cultivation was only at Xiantian 3rd layer, he became even more disbelieving and scoffed. One had to know that his own cultivation was already at the fourth level of the Xiantian realm. At most, he could only fight against the fifth level of the Xiantian realm. He could only surpass the first level. Under normal circumstances, how could he surpass the third level?

How could anyone else be able to do something that even someone as talented as him could not do?

If he hadn’t really fought, he definitely wouldn’t have retreated. In any case, he had already come here, so he would have fought no matter what.

…

He approached and looked at the small city in front of him. A trace of disdain flashed in his eyes. This city wall was too low, wasn’t it? It was extremely crude, could it block his sword?

It was indeed a remote place. If he wanted resources, if he wanted resources, if he didn’t have a foundation, what chance would he have to cultivate such a powerful person? It was impossible to even think about it. In this kind of place, even the Xiantian realm wouldn’t be easy to break through.

He became more and more determined in his heart. Li Qing’s battle record was definitely fake, and he personally came to fight against the fake to make that fellow reveal his true form.

“Let’s go in.” Kong Dongqiang brought the four beauties into Jiangyuan City.

He casually found a teahouse and sat down. He found that there were many guests talking about Li Qing. Most of them were compliments. It seemed that the people here admired Li Qing very much.

Kong Dongqiang couldn’t help but frown. He felt a little unhappy in his heart. It was really a mountain without tigers. Monkeys were called kings. There weren’t any experts in this remote place. They actually made a little brat a hero.

But now that he’s here, he’s going to beat Li Qing back to his original form and show them what kind of parallel imp this brat who is known as never losing.

“I think Li Qing’s ranking is a bit low. He killed three Xiantian sixth layer experts, so he should be in the top ten.” Someone was discussing at the side.

“That’s right, I also feel the same way. However, the rankings of the Heavenly Alliance’s people are still very cautious. They will continue to observe Li Qing’s true strength and will not change it easily.”

“It would be too glorious if Jiang Yuan City could produce a top ten figure on the Dragon-Phoenix Rankings.”

They were all discussing.

Kong Dongqiang couldn’t stand these people’s discussions any longer. He snorted coldly, “Just Li Qing and the others want to enter the top ten of the Dragon-Phoenix Rankings? Are you kidding? Being able to rank him in the top sixty is already considered a compliment to him.”

“Who are you? You speak so unpleasantly!” Someone shouted.

“Hmph, I’ll scare you to death if I tell you my origins! What undefeatable battle record? In front of me, it’s just a dirt dog. If I encounter it, I’ll definitely capture it back as a slave.” Kong Dongqiang boasted.

This young man was like an immortal jade tree, handsome and romantic, accompanied by four beauties. He clearly looked like an elegant young master, but his words were extremely impolite, causing many people to frown.

“Whose child is this? How did you educate him? He’s so arrogant at such a young age. Isn’t he afraid of going astray without any concealment?” Although the people in the teahouse guessed that this youth’s identity was extraordinary, there were still people who couldn’t help but mock him.

“What? Am I wrong?” Kong Dongqiang glanced sideways at the other side and asked calmly.

“Child, speak modestly. Many geniuses died young.” An old man said.

“Humph!” Kong Dongqiang snorted coldly. It was as if a bell was shaking, causing many people’s blood and qi to surge. He said, “It should be very good to let the person on the Dragon-Phoenix Rankings be a slave. I’ll go to Su Mansion and capture him later.”

“You alone? Can you defeat a Xiantian sixth layer expert?” Someone sneered.

Kong Dongqiang laughed loudly, “Li Qing has been overestimated by you. Not to mention that he is only at the Xiantian 3rd layer, even if he is at the Xiantian 4th layer, he might not be able to kill someone at the Xiantian 6th layer. If you guys are too braggart, then no one will believe you.”

Right at this moment, another voice suddenly sounded, “This brother is right. I think this Li Qing is also a person who seeks fame. It’s not worth mentioning. Anyway, I don’t believe in the Xiantian sixth layer.”

Everyone looked around and saw a young man sitting in a corner. He was dressed in white, spotless, and his voice was as crisp as an oriole’s.

“What a handsome youth!” Everyone secretly praised.

This young man’s hair was black and shiny. His skin was like snow and translucent. His eyes were like black gemstones. His lips were red and teeth were white. He was extremely handsome. He could be called a rare beauty in this world.

Compared to the beautiful youth in this corner, Kong Dongqiang, who was originally similarly handsome, instantly felt as if he was a bit shorter, like a firefly to the bright moon, dim and devoid of light.

“How strange. Why are two such characters appearing at the same time today? One is even more stunning than the other.” Someone muttered in their hearts.

“Those who come are unkind…”

Facing the curious gazes of so many people, the beautiful youth in the corner did not care at all. He held a jade cup in his hand and gently swallowed it. He said indifferently, “Even if Li Qing really killed Xiantian sixth layer, it is not worth mentioning. The martial artists in this small place are so weak that I can suppress them with a flip of my hand.”

Everyone was speechless. They didn’t expect this youth to be even more arrogant than the one in front of them. He randomly fired a map cannon and scolded all the martial artists in their region. He was worthless.

“Three hundred-year-old antiques who have lived for so many years can’t be considered weak, right? Isn’t it a bit too arrogant to say that?” Someone retorted.

“That’s right. The strength of those antiques in Xin’an City is indeed not weak. It’s not that easy to defeat them. If you don’t believe me, why don’t you go to Su Mansion to challenge Li Qing? We’ll know the result immediately.” Another person said.

“That’s exactly what I meant!” The teenager in the corner put down his wine cup and immediately stood up.

Kong Dongqiang cupped his hands and said, “Brother, since this is the case, why don’t we go to Su Mansion together?”

“Sure!” This beautiful youth looked even more arrogant than Kong Dongqiang and didn’t even look him in the eye.

“May I know the name of this little brother?” Kong Dongqiang asked gently.

“You can call me Chang Wudi!”

“Chang… Invincible?” Kong Dongqiang opened his mouth wide and muttered, “This name is really strange.”

“Is it strange?” Chang Wudi tilted his head and thought carefully for a moment before saying, “If you think it’s strange, you should just call it Chang Invincible.”

“Alright, I think Chang Wudi sounds better.” Kong Dongqiang didn’t know what to say. He could change his name randomly. This guy was obviously using a fake name.

“Forget it. Let’s go to Su Mansion now. We’ll leave immediately after this battle. What a waste of time!” Chang Wudi waved his hand.

Everyone felt that there was another good show to watch, and immediately followed behind them, wanting to see what would happen. A large group of people walked on the streets, and the scene was spectacular and eye-catching. It was as if they felt that something big had happened. Many people followed after them curiously, and their ranks grew stronger and stronger.

…

When Kong Dongqiang and Chang Wudi saw the huge group following behind them, they frowned and didn’t know much about geography. It was also good to have these people watching. It was lively and lively. When Li Qing was defeated, wouldn’t he be making a fool of himself and foil their wise divine martial arts?

When they arrived in front of Su Mansion, they discovered that someone had already stepped in first. There was already the sound of fighting inside, releasing waves of terrifying fluctuations. Clearly, there were experts fighting.

Boom!

After a while, an earth-shattering explosion came from within the Su Mansion. Then, someone screamed miserably. A figure flew out like a cannonball. It was actually thrown out by someone and stabbed straight into the ground.

Everyone dodged in succession. Looking closely, they saw that this person was a Xiantian sixth layer expert! His leg had been broken, and he was powerlessly tilted, looking rather funny.

Everyone immediately began to discuss, “Aiyo, another blind person dares to provoke Li Qing. Isn’t this the third person this month?”

“His leg was broken again, and his possessions were taken away. Let’s see who else dares to challenge him so blindly!”

When Xiantian sixth layer experts were thrown out, it was as if they were accustomed to it in the eyes of the crowd.

Kong Dongqiang’s eyes widened as he carefully sized up the Xiantian sixth stage cultivator on the ground, seemingly wanting to discern whether this was true or not. After studying for a long time, he could only admit powerlessly that this was a Xiantian sixth stage cultivator!

A Xiantian sixth layer expert had his leg broken by Li Qing and was thrown out of Su Mansion. This matter really happened in front of him, so he couldn’t help but believe it.

I didn’t expect Li Qing’s battle record to be real!

“Who are these people? They’re actually so rude that they broke a Xiantian sixth layer leg.” Kong Dongqiang was secretly speechless. He was no match for a Xiantian sixth layer expert. Wouldn’t it be courting death to challenge Li Qing?

He suddenly felt a bit of retreat in his heart. He felt that coming to challenge Li Qing was a wrong decision.

Suddenly, someone pointed at Kong Dongqiang and said, “Hey, isn’t this the person who boasted about taking Li Qing as a slave in the teahouse?”

“Taking Li Qing as a slave? There’s actually such an arrogant person!”

Hearing this, everyone retreated, exposing Kong Dongqiang and Chang Wudi to everyone.

Kong Dongqiang’s face turned green. This time, he was pushed to the peak of the storm. Being surrounded by the crowd, it was difficult for him to ride a tiger. Even if he wanted to leave, he would not be able to do so.

“This is the first time I’ve seen such an arrogant person. He’s not old, but he keeps his mouth shut and wants to hire someone as a slave.” Someone was mocking.

Right at this moment, Su Mansion’s door opened. Li Qing walked out and looked at Kong Dongqiang and Chang Wudi. “You two look young and handsome. You should be disciples of a big sect, right? Could it be that you’re here to challenge me, someone from a big sect?” Li Qing said, looking at Kong Dongqiang and Chang Wudi.

“No, we were just passing by Jiangyuan City. I heard about your fame, so I came here to take a look, hoping to make friends with you.” Kong Dongqiang’s expression did not change as he opened his mouth and spat out some lies.

Chang Wudi turned his head to look at Kong Dongqiang and said with wide eyes, “Didn’t you say that you wanted to take Li Qing as your slave? Why has it changed now?”

Kong Dongqiang wanted to cry but didn’t have any tears. Why couldn’t this fellow see the situation clearly? If Li Qing was able to defeat Xiantian sixth layer, wouldn’t beating him be like playing? However, this Chang Wudi’s head was ridiculous. He actually revealed what he had just said in front of the other party.

Sure enough, Li Qing’s expression changed when he heard Chang Wudi’s words. He narrowed his eyes and looked at Kong Dongqiang, “What a big breath! Who are you? You actually want to take me in as a slave?”

Kong Dongqiang forced a smile and said, “I was just bragging in front of everyone just now. Don’t take it seriously. I’m Kong Dongqiang, a disciple of the Jade True Sect. I’m ranked 61st on the Dragon-Phoenix Rankings. I came here to make friends with Brother Li Qing.”

“61st on the Dragon-Phoenix Rankings!” Everyone took a deep breath.

“Sixty-one? Doesn’t that mean that he is just behind Li Qing?” Someone laughed. This fellow was clearly unconvinced and wanted to find fault. However, when he saw Li Qing break the legs of a Xiantian sixth layer expert, he immediately admitted defeat.

“What about you?” Li Qing pointed at the handsome youth beside him.

“My name is Chang Wudi! No one in the younger generation is my opponent! You are no exception!” Chang Wudi raised his head high and said proudly, “Kong Dongqiang and I feel that your battle record is very humid, so we came to weigh you in terms of weight. Now, it seems that being able to defeat the Xiantian sixth layer is not bad, but unfortunately, we are far from being my opponent.”

“It means that the two of you want to challenge me today. There’s no need to talk so much nonsense. You two can go together! I don’t have much time.”

“Bastard!” Chang Wudi was furious, “How can I bully the young with too much? Kong Dongqiang, you go first and attack his spirit!”

Kong Dongqiang’s expression changed. He really wanted to strangle this Chang Wudi and push him into the pit of fire.

“Brother Chang, you should go first.” He laughed dryly.

“Brother Kong, don’t be afraid. This Li Qing’s battle record is all empty. Don’t look at how he just defeated the Xiantian sixth layer, but there’s nothing to worry about. We can definitely win. The strength of the Xiantian sixth layer in this place is too weak. I can fight ten of them each.” Chang Wudi began to boast again.

“You guys brag! If you have the guts, go ahead! Don’t dawdle.” Everyone started to heckle.

Under everyone’s gaze, Kong Dongqiang’s face changed from red to white. After a few changes, he finally gritted his teeth and said, “Since that’s the case, then I’ll spar with Li Qing a few times.”

“Cut the crap. Let’s start a fight.”

“Wait, we’re just sparring right now. Don’t lay too heavy a hand on us. Don’t break your hands and legs just by making a move.” Kong Dongqiang added.

“Are you going to fight?” Li Qing was impatient.

“Alright then.” After all, Kong Dongqiang was a genius on the Dragon-Phoenix Rankings, and he quickly calmed down when faced with a real battle.

He took out a precious jade sword with all sorts of gorgeous patterns carved on it. The decoration was extremely beautiful, but the jewelry was extremely compatible with his own appearance.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

His swordsmanship was similarly extremely gorgeous. It could even be said that it was too gorgeous. The multicolored light was dazzling, and the sword qi was overflowing. Being able to dance swordsmanship to his level was also considered an art.

This sword technique is called the Jade True Sword Technique. Although it looks gorgeous, it is not a fancy one. Its power is quite impressive. After all, someone who could become the 61st person on the Dragon-Phoenix Rankings had undergone a thorough examination by the Heavenly Alliance. Of course, it was impossible for him to have lost his reputation.

Li Qing’s expression became serious. Although his strength far surpassed his opponent’s, he would not underestimate his opponent.

Dang! Dang! Dang!

Li Qing used a pair of palms to forcefully shake the opponent’s Jade True Sword Technique. After a while, he suddenly exerted his strength and knocked Kong Dongqiang’s palm out.

“I admit defeat!” Kong Dongqiang quickly jumped up from the ground. His movements were still extremely carefree, and he admitted defeat so straightforwardly.

It could be seen that Kong Dongqiang did not use his full strength. However, he had already sensed that he was not Li Qing’s opponent. In the end, he could only do useless work. Why would he use all his strength to look for abuse?

“Trash!” Chang Wudi snorted coldly, clearly extremely dissatisfied.

“That’s outrageous! Don’t go too far!” Kong Dong was furious. It was all thanks to this fellow in front of him that he had suffered so much today.

“Saying that you’re trash is trash, what do you want?”

“You’re courting death!” Kong Dong roared. Although he couldn’t beat Li Qing, it didn’t mean that he was afraid of Chang Wudi. This fellow in front of him really had a bad mouth. He really deserved to be beaten. He was clearly at the Xiantian 4th layer, and he looked younger than him. How powerful could he be? Do you really think you’re invincible in this world?

In his rage, he thrust his sword towards Chang Wudi.

They didn’t expect that the two people who accompanied them would actually fight amongst themselves. Everyone laughed heartily as they watched this good show.

This sword pierced into Chang Wudi’s face. Originally, he thought that he could deal with his opponent in one move. However, Kong Dongqiang soon discovered that the sky was darkening. A huge hammer appeared in front of him, occupying all of his vision and fiercely hammering down.

Boom!

Kong Dongqiang was sent flying by this hammer. With a “whoosh” sound, he was smashed into a corner and disappeared in front of everyone.

At this moment, Chang Wudi was carrying a huge hammer on his shoulder. It was as big as a water tank and stood proudly on the spot.
