The Heavenly Saber Novel - Chapter 307
Chapter 307 Wind Lightning Swordsman
Very quickly, servants brought Li Qing and Chang Wudi to their residences. As a genius on the Dragon-Phoenix Rankings, their status was noble, so their residences couldn’t be too shabby. The headquarters of the Heavenly Alliance occupies a very large area, and there are plenty of places to live in. Li Qing and Chang Wudi were arranged in two quiet and comfortable courtyards with elegant surroundings.
Chang Wudi’s courtyard was right beside Li Qing’s courtyard, and the two of them were adjacent to each other.
It could be seen that the history of these courtyards was very ancient. There was an ancient tree in the middle, towering into the sky, and there were countless rings.
Li Qing and Chang Wudi’s arrival was silent, as if none of them were alarmed. However, he didn’t know that someone had been paying attention to this place for a long time. Just as the two of them appeared at the Heavenly Alliance headquarters, someone spread the news.
As the number one person on the Dragon-Phoenix Rankings, Li Qing naturally received great attention. Moreover, his battle prowess was world-shocking. It was rare in history, and it was hard to say how great his achievements would be in the future. Naturally, there were many people who wanted to make friends with him, or for other purposes.
In the past, Li Qing had always stayed in a remote place like Jiangyuan City, so they didn’t have a chance to meet each other. But now that they were in the Holy City, they naturally wouldn’t miss such an opportunity.
However, Li Qing was currently at the headquarters of the Heavenly Alliance. Ordinary people would not be able to enter, and there wouldn’t be any unusual situations in a short while.
Since he had arrived at a prosperous place like the Holy City, he naturally had to go out and have a good look. It was impossible for Li Qing to stay in his dwelling like Jiang Yuan City.
Just as he thought this, a knock sounded at the door. Chang Wudi appeared at the door.
“Have you settled down yet? Let’s go to the city and have a look.” She said.
“That’s exactly what I meant!”
The two of them walked out together. Just as they were about to walk far away, they were stopped by a person.
This was a young man with the strength of a Xiantian 5th layer, carrying two swords on his back. His face was very thin, and his eyes were sharp. His thin lips were tightly pursed into a crack, giving off an aura of stubbornness, firmness, and indifference.
“It’s you!” Chang Wudi cried out in alarm and recognized this person.
“Who is he?” Li Qing asked.
“Wind Lightning Swordsman!” Chang Wudi whispered.
“So it’s him!” Li Qing suddenly understood. The Wind Lightning Swordsman was the first ranked person on the Dragon-Phoenix Rankings in the past. Later on, Li Qing appeared and pushed him down. This person was currently ranked second in the Dragon-Phoenix Rankings.
Before Li Qing appeared, the Wind Lightning Swordsman was the undisputed number one! He comprehended the Wind Lightning Sword Intent and even created the Nine Wind Lightning Swords. In the future, he would be able to reach the tenth level of the Xiantian realm at the very least.
The Wind Lightning Swordsman didn’t even look at Chang Wudi. He just stared at Li Qing and said coldly, “Are you Li Qing?”
“That’s right!” Li Qing nodded.
“Do you have time to spar?” The Wind Lightning Swordsman directly stated his intention.
“Sparring? It seems like fighting is forbidden in the Holy City.” Li Qing said.
“In the Holy City, there is a place called the Ancient Desolate Battle Arena that allows people to fight freely. How about we go there and spar?” The Wind Lightning Swordsman said.
“Sure, right now?” Li Qing nodded. Of course, he was not afraid of this matter, and he also wanted to see the strength of the Wind Lightning Swordsman.
“The Ancient Desolate Battle Arena needs to be booked in advance. I’ll see you in the arena in three days. Is that alright?” The Wind Lightning Swordsman said.
“Alright, three days from now!” Li Qing agreed.
The two of them stared at each other tightly, as if sparks were erupting in the air. This was the collision between the two most outstanding young men in the Eastern Region.
After glancing at each other, the Wind Lightning Swordsman left without hesitation. Looking at his thin figure, Li Qing’s gaze was somewhat solemn. This was a pure martial artist! Born to fight.
Such a person was terrifying. As long as he was given time, he would be able to soar into the sky. If Li Qing hadn’t appeared in the sky, no one would have been able to conceal his light.
“Three days later, there will be a good show!” Chang Wudi smiled.
“Have you ever competed with a Wind Lightning Swordsman before?” Li Qing asked.
“I had a competition. At that time, my cultivation was at the fourth level of Xiantian. He also suppressed my cultivation to the fourth level of Xiantian. He fought once and I lost without any suspense. His strength was really strong. The Nine Wind Lightning Swords he created defeated me with just the fifth strike. Of course, if I wanted to escape, he wouldn’t be able to kill me.”
“How is it compared to me?”
Chang Wudi rolled his eyes, “Didn’t you ask this knowingly?” Who can compare to you, freak? The strength of a Wind Lightning Swordsman couldn’t even defeat a Heaven and Earth Dharma Formation expert. Of course, you can’t compare to him in terms of the level of sophistication of his moves. “You are just too powerful in strength and True Essence. With just one force, you can break through ten thousand techniques. No matter how exquisite your moves are, they will lose their power in front of you.”
Li Qing smiled faintly. He was indeed powerful and looked down on the heroes.
“Perhaps the Wind Lightning Swordsman also knows that he can’t compare to you, but he still wants to fight with you. He won’t be convinced if he hasn’t truly competed with you.” Chang Wudi said, “I’m afraid you’ll have some trouble these days. Perhaps there will be many young people challenging you.”
Li Qing frowned, “I don’t have that much time to compete with them.”
“Hehe, this is none of my business.” Chang Wudi was rejoicing in calamity.
…
The two of them continued to walk out. Soon, they met another wave of people. There were a total of four of them. They were all geniuses on the Dragon-Phoenix Rankings. One of them was even the sixth most powerful person.
As expected, these people were also looking for Li Qing to challenge him.
Li Qing raised his eyebrows. He hadn’t expected that so many people would know about him the moment he appeared at the Heavenly Alliance headquarters and jumped out one by one to challenge him.
One could imagine how troublesome the days ahead would be.
As expected, his reputation wasn’t too good either.
“Li Qing, I want to challenge you. I wonder if you dare to agree?”
“I also want to challenge you!”
“Me too!”
They challenged Li Qing one after another, their gazes filled with provocation.
In any case, challengers would not die. If they lost, there would be no losses. If they won, then they would gain a lot. Of course, they would not give up this opportunity.
“If you are a hero, accept our challenge!”
“Let’s see the strength of the first person! Don’t disappoint us.”
They used a provocative method for fear that Li Qing wouldn’t dare to agree.
Li Qing smiled faintly and said, “Of course you can challenge me. How can I be afraid? However, my time is limited. If I keep accepting challenges from so many people, I don’t need to do anything else. Therefore, if you want to challenge me, you have to pay a price.”
“What price?” Everyone’s eyes turned cold.
“How about this, every time you compete with me, if I win, you will give me a thousand spirit stones. How about it?” Li Qing made a request.
“What if I lose?”
“What a joke. How could I lose?” Li Qing laughed loudly.
“How can there be a reason to win or not lose in the competition?”
“Well, if I lose, then… of course you don’t have to pay anything. Because you’re here to compete with me, not me.” Li Qing sneered.
“This isn’t fair!”
Li Qing spread out his hands and said, “You can choose not to accept it. In that case, don’t challenge me. My time is very precious!”
“Alright, I accept your conditions!” The sixth ranked person immediately agreed. A thousand spirit stones wasn’t that important to him.
However, the rest of them hesitated. They were truly not confident. Basically, they would lose. If they agreed rashly, wouldn’t they be giving Li Qingbai spirit stones?
Compared to a thousand spirit stones at a time, how could there be such a lucrative business in the world?
In the end, three of them agreed to Li Qing’s conditions. Four days later, the Ancient Desolate Battle Arena would have a duel.
After discussing, Li Qing and Chang Wudi left this place. Along the way, they encountered a few youngsters one after another, all of whom wanted to challenge Li Qing.
Li Qing repeated the request just now, one thousand spirit stones at a time! The effect of this method was not bad. Other than those who really wanted to challenge him, the rest of them retreated.
…
Chang Wudi walked out of the Heavenly Alliance headquarters and said excitedly, “I’ve finally gotten rid of these annoying fellows. Let’s go, I’ll take you to a good place and let you enjoy the friendship of a landlord!”
“Friendship with the landlord? Do you think the Holy City was opened by your family?” Li Qing looked at her sideways.
“My family has an estate in the Holy City! I’ll bring you to see it now!” Chang Wudi said proudly.
Many factions had established properties in the Holy City. Such a large city could only become so prosperous because of these forces.
The estate of the Chang Wudi Clan was a restaurant with a total of five floors. Chang Wudi directly pulled Li Qing to the top floor, found the person in charge of the restaurant, and ordered a sumptuous table of dishes.
The person in charge of this restaurant had naturally seen Chang Wudi himself, so he quickly obeyed his orders and prepared a table of dishes.
“Who is that young man beside Miss? I rarely see her being so friendly to a man.” A waiter whispered.
“Don’t worry about what you shouldn’t do. Just do your own thing!” The person in charge scolded.
Chang Wudi treated Li Qing to a meal. Of course, it wouldn’t be simple. The wine and dishes here were not something ordinary dishes could compare to. They were all extremely precious items.
“This wine is Jade Spring Wine. It is one of the finest wine in the world, and it also contains rich spiritual energy. Come, taste it!” Chang Wudi introduced.
“Also, this fish meat is not an ordinary fish. It’s the Frost Lake Snow Fish. It tastes so delicious that no one can eat it!”
Li Qing nodded repeatedly, “It really tastes good! Rich people really enjoy it!”
Speaking of which, although he was extremely wealthy, he had never eaten such luxurious food before. Now it seemed that these precious things were really delicious.
Around him, there were some beautiful women dancing, incense burning and zither playing. They were like the realms of immortals on earth. They really enjoyed it too much.
After eating these things, Li Qing asked, “I wonder what kind of forces in the Holy City are good at inquiring about information?”
“Search for information? There are quite a few such forces. Why are you asking?” Chang Wudi was curious.
“I want to find someone!” Li Qing said in a low voice.
