The Heavenly Saber Novel - Chapter 344

Chapter 344 Hand Over Li Qing
Fortunately, these twelve Heavenly Fiendgods weren’t the personal possessions of Heartless Old Ghost. Instead, they were the foundation of the Myriad Devil Sect. Heartless Old Ghost only borrowed one.

Patriarch Zixu did not expect that the Myriad Demon Sect would actually lend out one of the Capital Heavens Fiendgods in order to kill a mere Li Qing. This was truly troublesome. He was no match for the Capital Heavens Fiendgods and could only choose to flee.

The battle outside continued. The Ancient Desolate Warship fled in the direction of the Holy City, while the Empyrean God and Demon were chasing after them. However, the Desolate Ancient Warship’s defenses were extremely good, and it was not broken for a while.

The Ancient Desolate Warship’s escape speed was considered to be among the highest among spirit artifacts. With the speed of the merciless old ghost, it was impossible for it to catch up. This was also Patriarch Zixu’s confidence.

Although he had just been caught up by the Du Tian Divine Demon with a short distance of explosive power, he believed that the Primordial Era’s warship would soon be able to pull the distance apart after a long period of time.

Just like this, the two sides chased after each other and fled. In an instant, they flew dozens of miles away.

Patriarch Zixu heaved a sigh of relief when he saw the distance between the Primordial Warship and the Capital Heaven Fiendgod getting further and further away. Judging from the situation, escaping should not be a problem.

“Hehe, you want to escape?” The ruthless old ghost sneered. Since he dared to intercept and kill them, of course, he was well prepared. How could he not have considered the factors of the Ancient Desolate Warship? There’s a way to deal with it.

“Look at my ruthless snake cord!”

The ruthless old ghost took out a rope covered in snake skin patterns and threw it into the sky. It immediately turned into a hundred-mile-long snake that surrounded the Primordial Warship.

“Not good, I’m trapped. This is troublesome!” Patriarch Zixu’s expression changed.

The Ancient Desolate Warship was trapped by the Ruthless Snake Ropes, and it would not be able to escape for a while. Behind it, there was the Capital Heavenly Deity and Demon chasing after it. The situation was extremely critical.

In just a short moment, the black monster caught up to him and immediately launched an attack, not giving him any chance to catch his breath.

Boom!

A large black hand grabbed over from behind. Its might was extremely terrifying. Every attack could create a huge hole in the light shield of the Primordial Warship.

The Primordial Era’s warship was like a small boat that was shaking in the wind and rain. It was under intense attack and could break at any time. The situation was precarious.

The Heavenly Capital God and Devil had no expression on his face as he continuously attacked. It didn’t have any thoughts. Under the merciless old ghost’s control, it only had one thought, and that was to destroy the ancient desolate warship.

Huge black hands grabbed onto the light shield of the warship, creating large holes one after another. Patriarch Zixu gritted his teeth and continuously waved his hand, sending out streaks of purple light that merged into the light shield. The hole instantly closed.

Right now, he could only rely on the Desolate Ancient Warship’s defenses to hold on until reinforcements arrived.

However, Heartless Old Ghost naturally wouldn’t give him such a chance. He immediately shot out a ray of black light and poured it into the Capital Heaven Fiendgod’s body.

The thick black mist on the Heavenly God Devil’s body grew thicker and thicker, and a murderous aura spread out. It was simply heaven-shaking and earth-shattering. Its body was like black steel, cold and heartless.

It took a deep breath and sucked in half of the spiritual energy in the sky. Its body actually expanded hundreds of times, turning into a black giant that was several hundred feet tall. Then, it raised its mountain-like palm and fiercely slapped towards the Primordial Warship.

“Shit! I can’t hold on anymore!”

Patriarch Zixu’s expression changed as he muttered something. The side of the Primordial Warship actually emitted a cracking sound. It opened a huge hole like a gate, and a steel cannon came out from it.

Boom!

A loud explosion shook the mountains and rivers. An earth-shattering flame attack shot out from the steel cannon and collided with the Capital Heavenly Devil. In the end, the Capital Heavenly Devil was knocked flying backwards.

This cannon was called the Ancient Desolate Cannons. It was precisely the trump card of the Ancient Desolate Warship. Even the Empyrean Gods and Devils were blasted away. It could be seen how terrifying its power was.

However, this type of cannon could only be fired once in a short period of time, and it would require a long time to recharge. Therefore, it would not be used unless absolutely necessary.

The Metropolitan Heaven Fiendgod was sent flying, and the blazing flames exploded on its body, forming a terrifying cloud of fire that covered the sky and covered the sun. Patriarch Zixu looked at the fire cloud with anticipation, hoping to blow up the capital devil.

Unfortunately, this was just his beautiful fantasy. A moment later, a huge black iron hand pushed away the fire cloud. The Metropolitan Heavenly Deity rushed out. Apart from his body, which was somewhat embarrassed and burnt black, there was no other damage.

These Empyrean Gods and Devils were refined from the corpses of Dao Realm experts, gathering countless precious materials. Of course, it was impossible for them to be damaged so easily. It could be said that they were invincible bodies of Diamonds.

“This won’t even kill it. It’s simply too powerful! I’m afraid only a Dao Realm expert can destroy it, right?” Patriarch Zixu muttered to himself.

Without saying a word, the Capital Heaven Fiendgod slapped down again, causing the Primordial Era’s Warship’s light shield to deform and almost shatter. Only with all his strength did Patriarch Zixu manage to withstand it.

However, judging from this situation, he was afraid that he would not be able to withstand the second attack.

Helplessly, Patriarch Zixu could only take out a purple jade ruler and transform it into a size of a hundred feet, striking towards the black palm.

“Kacha!”

The purple jade ruler collided with the black iron hand, producing a cracking sound. Countless cracks appeared on the ruler’s body, and Patriarch Zixu spat out a mouthful of blood.

This purple jade ruler was his lifeblood spirit artifact. It was called the Violet Void Heaven Measuring Ruler. It was forged after the peerless Dao artifact, the Heaven Measuring Ruler. Its power was extraordinary, and it was actually unable to withstand a single palm strike from the Empyrean Gods and Devils.

“Patriarch Zixu, I advise you to hand over Li Qing. Otherwise, I’m afraid you will die here today. Do you think it’s worth paying such a high price for a mere Li Qing?” The black clouds completely sealed the escape route, revealing the face of the ruthless old ghost.

Patriarch Zixu hesitated for a moment, then looked at Li Qing and asked, “How did you provoke this old devil? Even if you borrowed it, the Heavenly God Devil would kill you.”

Li Qing’s heart trembled. He knew that the situation was not good, so he honestly replied, “I killed a Diabolism character in the Ancient God Pagoda! Then … I obtained a Gate of All Fiends!”

“What, the Gate of Myriad Demons?” ‘”So that’s the case!” Patriarch Zixu cried out. “The Door of Myriad Demons is the most important treasure of the Heartless Old Ghost. No wonder he didn’t use it today. So it was in your hands!”

He was a little curious, what exactly were the two Diabolism disciples going to do when they entered the Ancient God Pagoda? Even the Gate of Myriad Demons was bestowed.

Of course, even though he knew that Li Qing had the Gate of All Fiends, he didn’t dare to seize the treasure. After all, Heartless Old Ghost was watching from the outside. If he accepted the Gate of All Fiends, it would be burning him.

The ruthless old ghost said, “How is it? Are you insisting on protecting Li Qing’s life and putting your own life in it? Or are you just going to hand over Li Qing?”

Patriarch Zixu smiled and said, “So you’re here for the Gate of All Fiends. How about this, I’ll return the Gate of All Fiends to you, and you let us go?”

Heartless Old Ghost snorted coldly, “It seems that you already know. That’s right, my main purpose here today is to seize back the Door of Myriad Demons. However, I want to capture Li Qing for another purpose. Today, no matter what, you have to hand Li Qing over!”

‘”How about this” Patriarch Zixu rubbed his chin, obviously thinking about it.

“Hmph, don’t think about stalling for time. I’ll give you three breaths of time. Do you agree or not?” The ruthless old ghost said.

“Sigh, then there’s nothing I can do. I promise you, I’ll leave Li Qing to you.” Patriarch Zixu sighed. He would not agree to do so unless he had to. After all, if this matter were to be spread out, he would lose all face.

However, he did his best. In order to reduce the losses, he had to hand over Li Qing.

I never thought that this trip to the Ancient God Tower would cause such a disturbance. This is a rare occurrence. Patriarch Zixu had led the team so many times and had never made any mistakes. He never expected that something would happen in this year’s tournament.

In fact, the Heavenly Alliance had sent a Void Realm expert like Patriarch Zixu to lead the team. It was considered safe enough. At the very least, they could still escape even if they couldn’t defeat him. They didn’t expect that they would be defeated here today.

Who would have thought that the people of the Myriad Devil Sect would be so crazy, borrowing a Metropolitan Heavenly God Devil to sweep through everything?

When Li Qing heard that Patriarch Zixu had agreed to hand him over, he felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar and his entire body instantly turned cold. If he fell into the hands of the Myriad Demon Sect, could he still have a life?

“Finished!”

He closed his eyes helplessly. A sense of powerlessness surged in his heart. His strength was still too weak.

If he had such powerful strength, why would he fall to such a state and be trampled upon by others?

Now, he deeply understood the importance of his own strength. He was as strong as a Void Realm Adept, and he had to lower his head in front of Diabolism’s experts, but he couldn’t be trusted! Only his own strength was strong enough to be a king.

Unfortunately, my cultivation time is still too short. If you give me enough time … Li Qing clenched his fists fiercely and his anger burned in his heart.

“Li Qing, why are you still standing there? Get the hell out of here! It’s all your fault for causing so much trouble for me!” Patriarch Zixu shouted.

Chang Wudi shouted unconvincingly, “Patriarch Zixu, how can you do this? To lower your head to a Diabolism character is truly humiliating to a Void Realm Daoist!”

Her courage was shocking. She was actually so presumptuous in front of a Void Realm Daoist. She had simply eaten the courage of a bear heart leopard! Everyone was so frightened that they took a step back and made Chang Wudi independent.

“How dare you!” Zixu Zhen was furious. He waved his sleeve and swept Chang Wudi away, causing him to be seriously injured.

Chang Wudi spat out a mouthful of blood, struggled to get up, and glared at him angrily.

Patriarch Zixu reprimanded, “Do I still need your guidance on how I should do things? If it weren’t for the fact that you were a disciple of the Miao Sect, I would have killed you long ago! If I dared to speak rudely again, I wouldn’t let you off lightly.”

“Kill me if you have the ability!” Chang Wudi stubbornly raised his head.
