The Heavenly Saber Novel - Chapter 613
Chapter 613 Martial Arts Congress (4)
“Fang Zhi Rou… That’s a good name.” Li Qing laughed dryly. It sounded strange for such a rough and mighty woman to have such a soft and beautiful name.
What was even stranger was that this woman did not seem to be too old, but she was the eldest senior sister of the Heavenly Thunder Sect, for some unknown reason.
“I’ve heard of your name! Rumor has it that you are a Xiantian expert capable of fighting against the fourth level of the Void Realm!” Fang Zhi Rou stared at Li Qing with excitement.
“Presumably, Venerable Thunder told you.” Li Qing wasn’t surprised.
“That’s right. He said that you can survive dozens of moves at the hands of the Golden Lion Marquis. I’m very skeptical about that. I hope that your strength won’t disappoint me.” Fang Zhi Rou’s eyes lit up and she wished she could immediately fight.
“I’m just lucky.” Li Qing was uncomfortable with her burning gaze.
“Glad to meet you.” Fang Zhi Rou suddenly stretched out her hand.
Li Qing was stunned. What was he trying to do? Why do you shake hands?
Of course, he didn’t think too much about it. He thought that the other party was very enthusiastic, so he also extended his hand and held onto the other party’s hand.
“Yes, these hands are very powerful.” This was Li Qing’s first thought.
However, why was his strength getting stronger and stronger? And it was getting tighter and tighter?
Li Qing looked at the other party and saw a provocative expression on Fang Zhi Rou’s face. There were two words in his eyes: Come on, let’s fight!
“So I’m here to compare my strength and test my strength.” Li Qing understood.
Since that was the case, then let’s compete. He also wanted to see how powerful the Heavenly Thunder Sect’s Eldest Senior Sister was in terms of strength.
He exerted 30-40% of his strength with a push of his hand, and then with a cracking sound, he fractured…
Fang Zhi Rou was dumbfounded, Li Qing was dumbfounded, and the surrounding disciples of the Heavenly Thunder Sect were also dumbfounded.
“My hand is broken! Ouch!” Fang Zhi Rou’s face twisted with pain.
“Really? Eldest Senior Sister actually lost in the strength competition, and her hand was broken …” Many Heavenly Lightning Sect disciples were shocked and still found this result hard to believe.
Among their peers, they had never seen Eldest Senior Sister suffer such a huge loss.
“You have great strength. I am no match for you in this respect!” Fang Zhi Rou’s face was flushed red, embarrassed and angry.
“Sorry, I used too much force.” Li Qing scratched his head. How did he know that the other party would be so weak? In his impression, not only did he already know his strength, but he also dared to provoke him. At the very least, he had to have a few tricks.
Fang Zhi Rou felt embarrassed, so why did she probe this monster? This was simply self-humiliating.
Only Venerable Thunder laughed secretly. He had personally witnessed Li Qing’s strength. In terms of physical strength, he was at the level of a monster. Eldest Senior Sister was indeed far inferior to him.
If they were to compete in other aspects, they might be able to hold on for a bit longer, but if they were to compete in strength, then they were clearly looking for abuse.
Her injuries weren’t serious. For Fang Zhi Rou, she could quickly recover with some miraculous pills.
“You are very powerful. Not many people have been able to defeat me in terms of strength. No wonder you were able to fight against the Golden Lion Marquis!” Not only was Fang Zhi Rou not frightened by Li Qing, but her fighting spirit was even stronger.
“Are you very strong? I didn’t even use half of my strength just now.” Li Qing said.
‘”I…” Fang Zhi Rou was speechless and suddenly didn’t know what to say. Why was this guy so arrogant?
“Are you kidding me? Eldest Senior Sister’s strength is at least several hundred thousand jin. She can even compare to many powerful body refining experts. She is actually less than half of your strength?” Many Heavenly Thunder Sect disciples questioned.
In the end, there were only a few martial artists in the world who had dual cultivation of the Dharma and Physique. Fang Zhi Rou’s cultivation had reached the tenth level of the Xiantian realm at such a young age. At the same time, her physical strength was several hundred thousand kilograms. This was already considered to be extremely outstanding.
However, in front of Li Qing, this power was still nothing.
His current strength probably doesn’t amount to 700,000 to 800,000 kilograms, right? Moreover, this did not stimulate Primordial Emperor Occult and Ancient divine transformation, otherwise it would have exceeded one million jin.
Of course, this was only a special situation for Li Qing. It was something that could only be achieved through the accumulation of countless opportunities. Under normal circumstances, very few people in the world could do this.
It was either a single body refinement or a single qi refinement.
It was basically impossible for dual cultivation to reach the peak of Xiantian before the age of 100. In this world, no one would take this path, even if the combat strength of dual cultivators was much stronger.
That was why many Heavenly Thunder Sect disciples felt that Li Qing was bragging. They could tell that Li Qing’s cultivation was already at the tenth level of the Xiantian realm, so it was impossible for him to be so outstanding in terms of the Dao of Body Refinement.
“Forget it if you don’t believe me.” Li Qing spread out his hands.
“One day, my strength will surpass yours!” Fang Zhi Rou said unconvincingly. It was precisely because of her unyielding attitude that she was able to achieve her current accomplishments. She believed that she could surpass anyone else.
“Mm, I’m very optimistic about you. You have such great strength at such a young age. You’re not far behind me from back then. Your future is limitless.” Li Qing nodded.
Hearing this, everyone felt as if they were teaching a lesson to a junior. It was truly arrogant.
“Indeed, they are a group of reckless men!” The Qinghe Sect disciples beside him said in a weird tone.
“Even such a small figure can’t be compared. The Heavenly Lightning Sect is really going back more and more alive.” They sneered.
Such unpleasant words instantly enraged the disciples of the Heavenly Thunder Sect. They were already sworn enemies and couldn’t bear to see each other. Moreover, the Heavenly Thunder Sect’s temper was extremely hot, so how could they endure it?
“Holy shit, you actually dare to look down on us!”
“Fuck them!” They shouted.
“Wait! You are not allowed to fight before the city gates of the capital of Great Zhou. Do you want to die?” Fang Zhi Rou did not have the impulse to immediately stop them.
“Haha, a group of cowards from the Heavenly Thunder Sect don’t dare to make a move, do they?”
“Didn’t you all boast of being extraordinary courageous? Why are you so timid now?” The disciples of the Clear River Sect were still attacking with words.
“There’s no need to use such despicable methods to provoke others. I’ll see for myself at the World Martial Arts Convention. I hope that you’ll still be so arrogant at that time!” Fang Zhi Rou’s eyes burst into flames.
“Hmph, who’s afraid of who? At that time, don’t kneel down and beg for mercy!”
“Let’s go!” The disciples of the Clear River Sect laughed coldly and walked towards the city gate proudly.
“Hey, get out of the way!” One of them walked in front of Li Qing and extended his hand to push him with hidden strength.
They didn’t need to think about it to know that they were doing this on purpose. The city gate was a hundred feet wide. There was no way to walk on such a wide road. They had to run in front of Li Qing. Didn’t they just want to teach him a lesson?
As a result, Li Qing’s chest trembled. A terrifying power erupted. Not only did it disperse the opponent’s dark energy, it also shattered the opponent’s arm.
Kacha!
‘”Ah—” A miserable scream sounded. The Clear River Sect disciple covered his arm in endless pain.
“What’s going on!” The others were shocked.
“What great strength! My arm is broken!” The man broke out in cold sweat.
“You’re overestimating yourself. Even Li Qing dares to provoke you. You’re simply humiliating yourself!” The Heavenly Thunder Sect laughed heartily. Seeing the Clear River Sect disciples being defeated, they were in a good mood.
When the crowd heard the screams, they all cast their gazes over, some of them filled with contempt.
The Qinghe Sect members only felt their face was greatly disgraced. How could they dare to stay here for too long? They immediately brought the person with the broken arm into the city in a dejected manner.
“Stinking brat, wait for me. I’ll deal with you slowly at the Martial Arts Convention!” Someone left a harsh message before leaving.
Li Qing looked at the departing figures of these people with calm eyes. How could he take their threats to heart?
“This time, the disciples of the Clear River Sect have kicked the iron plate.” The disciples of the Heavenly Thunder Sect laughed heartily.
“They don’t even know Li Qing’s true strength, and they still dare to speak so shamelessly. If they knew that Li Qing had been able to contend against the fourth level of the Void Realm, would they still have the courage to say such words?”
“Let’s go, let’s go into the city.” Li Qing smiled but didn’t say anything else.
Walking on the streets of the city, Li Qing randomly found a topic to chat with, “Speaking of which, why is your Eldest Senior Sister your Eldest Senior Sister?”
“What? Why does this question sound like a bit of a mouthful?” A group of reckless men from the Heavenly Thunder Sect did not understand.
Li Qing could only restate, “Fang Zhi Rou doesn’t look very old. Why can she be your eldest senior sister?”
“Oh, so that’s what I was asking, because she’s strong.” Venerable Thunder laughed.
“Strong? Are you ranked according to your strength?”
“Actually, our Eldest Senior Sister entered the sect earlier. She was born with the Heavenly Thunder Body. She was discovered by our Heavenly Thunder Sect’s Sect Master and brought up the mountain. She became the first to enter the sect in our generation, so she is Eldest Senior Sister.”
“The Heavenly Thunder Body! It actually has such a great background!” Li Qing was moved.
“Of course. Otherwise, why is my Eldest Senior Sister so strong? It’s mainly due to her Xiantian constitution.”
“But unfortunately, I still can’t compare to you.” Fang Zhi Rou sighed.
“Don’t be so discouraged. We haven’t really competed yet. Who knows if we will win or lose? Strength is only one aspect. The real competition is still a real battle.” Li Qing said some comforting words.
“Perhaps after the actual combat competition, the difference will be even greater.” Xiao Bai muttered softly.
Hearing this, everyone’s expressions stiffened. Isn’t this too impolite?
However, Xiao Bai was just a child, and his fairy tales were unrestrained, so it was not easy for them to take it seriously.
“Who is this little sister?” Fang Zhi Rou glanced at her and said.
“This is my sister.”
“Kissed?”
“It’s not a kiss.” Li Qing shook his head.
“Why are you asking so many questions? Is it related to you?” Xiao Bai said somewhat discontentedly.
Li Qing’s words were very impolite. He said apologetically, “My sister is childlike and impolite. Please don’t take offense.”
“It’s fine, little girl. I don’t blame her.”
Xiao Bai suddenly raised his head and said to Fang Zhi Rou, “This big chest brother, your chest muscles are really strong.”
After saying that, he even touched it with his small hand.
“Pectoralis?” Fang Zhi Rou’s expression stiffened. She lowered her head and looked at her chest. The scale of the two mountains was astonishing. Combined with her slender and muscular waist, it was perfect.
Why did his pride turn into pectoral muscles? How does it look like a pectoralis?
Wait, didn’t she mean that she looked like a man?
Fang Zhi Rou was so angry that her teeth itched. She gritted her teeth and said, “Little sister is so cute. I can hit ten times in one punch.”
“Xiao Bai, don’t talk nonsense!” Li Qing glared at her fiercely. If he continued, this female man might go crazy.
Of course, there was no denying that Xiao Bai’s words were quite reasonable. This pectoralis muscle is really big. Oh no, it’s strong!
Fang Zhi Rou didn’t want to continue on this topic, saying, “Meeting is fate. If you don’t have a place to stay in Ying Tian City, why don’t you join us for now?”
Li Qing looked at Liu Ke’er and Wen Xiao Xian and asked for their opinions.
“Sure, we are not familiar with each other here, so it is much more convenient to be with you.” Liu Ke’er nodded.
The area of Ying Tian City was very large. It could accommodate tens of millions of people. Normally, it would not appear crowded. But now that the World Martial Arts Convention was about to arrive, a large number of people had poured in in a short period of time, making it seem like they were overcrowded.
In this situation, it was not easy to find a suitable place.
The Heavenly Thunder Sect naturally had properties within Ying Tian City. It was at least one of the eight great sects of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Its power was enormous, and its shelter would not be too shabby.
“I heard that your Heavenly Thunder Sect has a Heavenly Thunder Pagoda that has been under construction for tens of thousands of years and has accumulated a large amount of lightning power. Is this true?” Li Qing asked.
“That’s right, this Heavenly Thunder Pagoda is a treasure of our Heavenly Thunder Sect. Unlike ordinary Dao Artifacts, this Heavenly Thunder Pagoda does not have any attack power, and it is very difficult to move. However, the explosive power it contains is stronger than any Dao Artifact.” Fang Zhi Rou said proudly.
“That’s impossible, right? Could it be stronger than the Primordial Limitless Diagram?” Li Qing didn’t believe it.
Fang Zhi Rou said, “I am referring to the explosive power of an instant. Ever since the day of construction, this Heavenly Thunder Tower has attracted lightning from the sky every day and continuously absorbed lightning power. It has lasted for tens of thousands of years.”
“Tens of thousands of years of lightning power. If you release all of it, do you think the explosive power of this moment is even stronger than the Primordial Limitless Diagram?”
“That’s why!” Li Qing nodded, “Speaking of which, you guys have been building this Heavenly Thunder Pagoda for so many years. Has the power of thunder in it really never been released?”
“No, it has been sealed for tens of thousands of years. Due to the overflow of lightning power from the tower, the area around the Heavenly Thunder Tower is now filled with lightning power fields. Ordinary people do not dare to approach it, otherwise they will be chopped into coke.”
“What is the purpose of building this Heavenly Thunder Pagoda? I feel that there is no benefit at all. I have wasted my manpower and material resources to maintain it for tens of thousands of years.”
“Isn’t it enough to guard the mountain gate? With this Heavenly Thunder Pagoda, who would dare to humiliate our Heavenly Thunder Sect so easily?”
“It seems to make sense. However, I always feel that the real reason is not the same.”
“Big Senior Sister, we’re here!” Lei Zun suddenly said, interrupting their conversation.
Originally, Li Qing wanted to understand the situation of the Heavenly Thunder Tower, but seeing that they did not intend to continue chatting on the topic of the Heavenly Thunder Tower, he stopped talking about it.
However, at the very least, it was certain that the Heavenly Thunder Pagoda must have hidden a great secret, not just to guard the mountain gate.
The Heavenly Thunder Sect’s industry in Ying Tian City was truly enormous. A large area of land within a hundred kilometers was bought by the Heavenly Thunder Sect. There were countless pavilions and corridors built, and all the facilities were available.
“Greetings, Eldest Senior Sister!” At the entrance of the Heavenly Thunder Manor, a few disciples of the Heavenly Thunder Sect walked out to receive Fang Zhi Rou’s group.
“May I know who these people are?” One of them pointed at Li Qing and asked.
“Friends I met on the way, I will temporarily stay here for this period of time.” Fang Zhi Rou said.
“Welcome! Please follow me.”
After entering the Heavenly Thunder Manor, Fang Zhi Rou sent someone to arrange a place for Li Qing and the others to stay. His attitude was very enthusiastic and he did not treat them as outsiders in the slightest.
In the end, a day later, Fang Zhi Rou came looking for Li Qing excitedly and threatened to fight Li Qing one-on-one.
“Let me see if your strength is as formidable as the rumors say.” Her gaze was fixated on Li Qing, and it contained a fierce battle intent.
“What a bellicose lunatic.” Li Qing muttered to himself.
Xiao Bai curled his lips and said, “Isn’t this good? We just moved into the Heavenly Thunder Manor, but Big Brother wants to beat you up. It seems a little inexcusable.”
“You little child, how did you speak?” In the Heavenly Thunder Palace, many young disciples were instantly enraged.
Eldest Senior Sister Fang Zhi Rou has always been the idol of many young people in the Heavenly Thunder Sect. How can she allow others to be humiliated? Many people had been instructed by Eldest Senior Sister when they entered the sect, so they admired Fang Zhi Rou in their hearts.
Although this was a female man, it did not interfere with their admiration. A strong man should like such a rough woman. Those weak women were just vases.
Fang Zhi Rou directly ignored Xiao Bai. This little girl liked to talk nonsense, so she could not be said to be her. If they were too serious, they would not be able to tolerate people and would not be able to live with a child.
No matter what, she was at a disadvantage, so she could simply ignore it.
“Do you dare to accept my challenge?” Fang Zhi Rou pointed with a provocative tone.
“Since you are so elegant, then I will accept. When will the fight start?” Li Qing said.
“It’s better to bump into the sun than choose a day. Let’s do it today. Just show your true abilities and don’t show mercy just because I’m a delicate flower!” Fang Zhi Rou said coldly with a determined gaze.
Li Qing almost spat out a mouthful of old blood. Are you Jiao Hua? Wasn’t there a single bit of self-knowledge about this?
“Eldest Senior Sister is so heroic! Although there are millions of people, I will go!” The disciples of the Heavenly Thunder Sect began to discuss.
“I like this kind of woman. In this life, I will not marry her unless I am Eldest Senior Sister!”
“Scram! Big Senior Sister is mine!”
“Draw out your saber and fight for the ownership of Eldest Senior Sister!”
Li Qing pointed at the chaotic scene around him and said, “Could it be that we are going to fight in this situation?”
“Of course not. Let’s go to the arena.” Fang Zhi Rou said.
