The Heavenly Saber Novel - Chapter 625
Chapter 625 Martial Arts Congress (16)
Relying on his outstanding appearance and romantic temperament, this handsome man was always able to succeed repeatedly, capturing the hearts of countless beautiful women. However, he did not expect to meet a wall here at Liu Ke’er, and it was also an iron wall.
“Miss Liu’s words are too unpleasant to hear! We are friends of the same team. We have just experienced a life-and-death battle, so we can be considered comrades-in-arms. Why should we reject someone from a thousand miles away?”
He still did not lose confidence. As long as he continued to fight, he believed that all women would fall under his fierce attack.
“It’s just a temporary team. How much trust can we count on? Don’t forget, we are all competitors. Who can guarantee that we won’t go against each other in the next moment?” Liu Ke’er said indifferently.
“Looks like Miss Liu has a deep prejudice against me.” The man laughed bitterly.
“Don’t misunderstand. I’m not targeting you. I’m just saying that everyone here is not familiar with me.”
The handsome man’s expression darkened. He only felt that Miss Liu was really unable to use any methods because of her lack of oil and salt.
“Alright, we won this battle. We should be happy. Let’s not say these unhappy words.” Someone made things right.
“Extreme. This place is not suitable for us to stay for long. Let’s leave now.” Everyone said.
After a while, they packed up and prepared to leave this place. The handsome man had been standing behind Liu Ke’er, his expression uncertain, sometimes ferocious, sometimes violent.
“This woman’s cultivation is only at the eighth level of the Xiantian realm. If it weren’t for the Wind Fiend Flag, it wouldn’t be worth mentioning. If I suddenly launched a sneak attack, she would definitely not be able to react.”
Thinking of this, he darted towards Gallbladder and quietly approached Liu Ke’er. When he reached a distance of ten zhang, he made a brazen move and struck out with his palm.
A single strike from the tenth level of the Innate Realm was enough to tear apart the eighth level of the Innate Realm!
However, Liu Ke’er’s reaction was unexpected. She seemed to have known that someone was sneak attacking from behind. She immediately turned around and placed the Wind Fiend Flag in front of her.
The handsome man’s palm landed on the Wind Fiend Flag, causing the Nine Heavens Spirit Wind and the Seamless Dipper Fiend Bee inside to surge out, instantly wiping his arm clean.
‘”Ah–” he screamed miserably.
“I had already expected that you would have this move!” Liu Ke’er unfurled the flag in her hand, and a black wind gushed out from it, blowing towards the man.
“What nonsense! The vengeance for destroying my arm will definitely be repaid in the future!” He looked at Liu Ke’er with resentment, endured the pain in his arm, took out the teleportation token, and prepared to flee.
He knew that his sneak attack had failed. He was definitely no match for Liu Ke’er. The power of the Wind Fiend Flag was too terrifying. It was better to leave as soon as possible. Otherwise, his life would have been handed over here.
Just as he was about to crush the token, he suddenly felt that his other hand had also lost its sense. He immediately lowered his head and saw that his other arm had also disappeared!
“Ah–my arm!” He screamed loudly.
Beside him, Li Qing and Xiao Bai’s figures appeared. As for that arm, it was naturally cut off by them all of a sudden.
“You dare to sneak attack my woman? You really have a lot of guts.” Li Qing’s expression was extremely ugly.
“Li Qing!” Liu Ke’er shouted in surprise. In order to avoid accidental injury, she put away the Nine Heavens Spirit Wind and the Seamless Astral Fiend.
“I am a direct disciple of the Iron Cliff Sect. With so many people watching from outside, you dare to kill me!” The man said with a ferocious expression.
“Take your own death!” Li Qing’s expression turned cold as he struck out with his palm.
“No–spare my life, I am willing to surrender!” The other party said with a frightened expression.
The voice stopped abruptly in the next moment. Li Qing’s furious palm used almost all of his strength to instantly explode the other party, turning him into a ball of blood mist.
Rumble!
A terrifying explosion sounded, and the mountain in front of him was directly razed to the ground. The might of a single palm was terrifying!
“What terrifying strength!” When the surrounding people saw this scene, they couldn’t help but break out in cold sweat. What kind of monster was this? Why did it feel even more terrifying than a Void Realm expert?
Li Qing looked around and coldly snorted, “Scram!”
Those people immediately scattered and fled as if they had been granted an amnesty.
“Why is Xiao Bai here?” Liu Ke’er walked over with a smile on her face.
“I met him halfway. This guy actually secretly signed up.” Li Qing said.
“Sister Liu, you were really amazing just now.” Xiao Bai changed the topic.
“Of course. Did I perform well?” Liu Ke’er said proudly.
“How did you know that guy had a bad heart?” Li Qing asked.
‘”Do you really think I’m stupid? In this World King Diagram, strangers are not trustworthy. Moreover, that fellow wanted to use my Wind Fiend Flag to look at it as soon as he opened his mouth. His mind is obviously impure. I was already on guard against him, but I didn’t expect him to launch a sneak attack so quickly.”
“You dare to even dare to take my woman’s ideas? You’re courting your own death.”
“If you kill someone in front of everyone, will there be any trouble?”
“It’s fine. The World King Diagram doesn’t prohibit killing people. I didn’t violate any rules. What kind of trouble can there be?”
In the outside world, when everyone saw this scene, most of them felt shameless towards the man’s sneak attack, and it was only natural for them to be killed.
Of course, the most important thing was that when they saw Li Qing’s palm strike with all his strength, they were all shocked by his shocking combat strength.
“No wonder he is ranked second on the martial arts rankings. He really has real talent. The power of this palm directly flattens a mountain. It’s very difficult for ordinary Void Realm experts to do so, isn’t it?”
“This guy is simply a monster!”
In the palace hall, everyone watched Li Qing’s performance and praised him endlessly.
“What do you think of Li Qing’s strength compared to Dongfang Xueqing?”
“From the looks of it, Li Qing’s strength is indeed not bad, but Dongfang Xueqing seems to be even more heaven-defying. The combat strength she has displayed these past few days is no weaker than that of the third level of the Void Realm, let alone that she has some trump cards.”
“The Blood Essence of the War God is truly heaven-defying. This Martial Arts Convention should be very exciting for two people with such astonishing talent to appear in a row.”
“Young people nowadays are really amazing. When I was young, I couldn’t compare to these two little fellows.” Daoism Lord Lingtian smiled.
“However, there is no hurry to come to a conclusion. I bet that there are some people who are hiding their strength and waiting to make a big splash.”
…
After Li Qing found Liu Ke’er, he relaxed. In the next few days, they could slowly hunt down the Void Beasts with Liu Ke’er. It wasn’t important how much they killed, as long as they could advance.
However, in the World King Diagram, Wen Xiaoxian had also participated in the competition, so he still needed to spend some time looking for him.
Wen Xiaoxian’s strength was only at the eighth level of the Xiantian realm. After such a long time, he might have already been eliminated.
Of course, relying on the spirit artifact Li Qing gave him, Wen Xiaoxian’s strength was not bad, so he should be able to protect himself.
Moreover, Wen Xiao’s conduct was rather wretched first, and he would not take the initiative to cause trouble. He hid in a corner and acted according to the situation. Perhaps he could last until today.
Li Qing naturally wouldn’t let go of everything to look for Wen Xiaoxian. He could only say that everything was up to fate. If he happened to meet him in the World King Diagram, then it would be great.
Next, he brought Liu Ke’er to hunt down the Void Beast.
After such a long time, many Tier 1 Void Beasts had been killed, and their numbers had become very small. Most of the remaining were Tier 2 and Tier 3 Void Beasts.
Second Grade Void Beasts could basically be killed at will, and Li Qing did not deliberately search for them. The main target was still a Tier 3 Void Beast. With the strength that he had displayed on the surface, killing it was not surprising, and it would not attract the attention of anyone who wanted to do so.
Walking along the way, Li Qing noticed a strange situation. The surrounding martial artists seemed to have received some sort of news, and all of them hurried to a certain place.
Li Qing casually grabbed a person and took a closer look. I’m still an acquaintance.
“Why is it you again? Oh my God!” Zhong Xiyin raised her head and shouted loudly, feeling like tears were flowing down her cheeks.
“You also came to participate in the World Martial Arts Gathering?” Li Qing said with a smile.
“Isn’t this nonsense? As long as you want a martial artist, you will definitely participate in this grand event. Since I have come to the Central Region, how could I miss it?”
“Something’s wrong. Your strength isn’t that strong. How did you stay here until now?”
“I know how to deduce the Heavenly Secrets. It’s not surprising that I managed to avoid danger. It’s not surprising that I managed to survive until now.”
“Then why didn’t you expect to meet me? I really want to knock you out of the World King Diagram.” Li Qing chuckled.
Zhong Xizhang immediately said with a bitter face, “How would I know? It’s really inexplicable. I can meet a fiend star like you wherever I go.”
“You dare to call me Sha Xing? Are you tired of living?” Li Qing’s expression darkened.
“Don’t… Don’t worry, I was wrong, okay? Big brother, just let me go.” Zhong Xiyin immediately smiled.
“Mm, I’m not here to cause trouble for you. Why are you so nervous? Relax.” Li Qing patted his shoulder and asked, “Did something happen when you ran in that direction in a hurry?”
‘”I’ve received news that a Tier 4 Void Beast has appeared over there, and a peerless expert is fighting it. He is rushing to watch the show. If you stop me like this, the battle may end soon.”
“What position? I’ll go over and take a look.” Li Qing showed an interested expression.
Zhong Xiyin pointed.
In the next moment, he felt that he was directly lifted up by Li Qing. In an instant, he spanned dozens of feet and flew at such a fast speed.
Half an hour later, Li Qing sensed the movement ahead. The momentum was quite vast. Indeed, it was an existence above the Void Realm fighting.
Soon, the scene in front of them appeared.
A hundred zhang tall Void Beast was spewing flames into the sky, causing the sky to turn red.
In the vicinity, countless martial artists stood far away, gathered in a circle, watching the battle in the field.
In the sky, a young woman dressed in a golden suit had long hair and a cold gaze. She held a golden spear in her hand, and her entire body emitted golden light, as if a war god had appeared in the world.
When her physical strength reached a certain level, she would be able to break through the shackles of heaven and earth and step into the void. This woman was currently in this state, and it was clear that her physical strength was extremely tyrannical.
Because of the distance, Li Qing naturally couldn’t see the woman’s appearance clearly with his vision. However, when he used his divine sense to sweep through it, his expression couldn’t help but change.
The stubborn look on his face was still so impressive. From the moment he saw her, Li Qing knew that this person was the little girl from before.
“It’s really her! Dongfang Xueqing!” Li Qing sighed.
Liu Ke’er quietly walked forward and whispered, “This is too unbelievable. She actually reached this level. What exactly did she experience?”
“Back then, the Blood Essence Fruit broke her meridians and prevented her from cultivating True Qi. However, she also benefited from misfortune and embarked on the path of body refinement. I originally thought that I would never see her again in this life, but I didn’t expect that things would be so miraculous. She actually appeared in front of us with such a face.”
“Will she come for revenge on us?”
“I suppose so.” Li Qing was a little uncertain.
“But we saved her life. Could it be that she doesn’t want to be grateful?” Liu Ke’er said unconvincingly.
“But we also killed her grandfather!”
“That’s because her grandfather deserved to die!”
“Do you think she cares about that? She just needs to know that we killed her grandfather. There’s no reason for hatred!” Li Qing sighed.
Liu Ke’er shook her head and smiled bitterly, “Yes, there is no reason for hatred. She had already shown this kind of mentality back then, but we didn’t care when we thought she wasn’t threatening at all.”
“The world is so big that there are always one or two heaven-defying figures. This Dongfang Xueqing is obviously such a lucky person.”
“Roar–”
Below, the Void Beast’s entire body burst into flames. It was a Flame Devil, and its strength was comparable to that of a mid Void Realm cultivator. Heat waves surged all over its body as it let out a terrifying howl.
As long as the flames emitted by the Flame Devil were burned, everything would turn into ashes. With the strength of a Xiantian expert, it was impossible for him to resist.
Rumble!
The flames rolled upwards like a waterfall of fire, covering the sky and directly smashing towards the figure of a war god in the sky.
Dongfang Xueqing’s face was expressionless. Her entire body was filled with energy and blood. The golden light on her body grew brighter and brighter. It was like the sun in the sky, piercing people’s eyes.
The next moment, she held the golden spear in her hand and stabbed it out.
A burst of dragon roars resounded through the void.
A gigantic spear image appeared in the void. Above it, there was a divine dragon wrapped around it, filled with an oppressive aura.
A violent and fierce aura instantly filled the surroundings with the attack of the spear, causing one’s heart to tremble in fear.
This spear was a top-grade spirit artifact. It was called the Coiling Dragon Spear. It was the weapon used by Venerable Coiling Dragon when he was young. Later, he took Dongfang Xueqing as his disciple and gave it to him.
Although it wasn’t a Dao Artifact, the power that Dongfang Xueqing displayed in her hand wasn’t much inferior to the Dao Artifact.
The spear carried the overwhelming power of the Coiling Dragon as it attacked the Flame Devil. It instantly broke through the endless flames and swept through the air.
However, this Flame Devil was finally comparable to an existence in the middle stage of the Void Realm. Naturally, it would not be defeated so easily. He immediately opened his mouth and spat out a pillar of fire, as if it had condensed into substance and turned into rolling magma.
Dongfang Xueqing was not afraid. She thrust out ten consecutive shots. Each shot carried the power of a coiling dragon as it spun towards the tip of the golden spear and finally gathered at a single point.
This point was incomparably heavy, so heavy that the space it was in seemed to be collapsing towards this point.
The spear, which was used to its limit, collided with the pillar of fire that the Flame Devil spat out, causing it to silently perish. Then, it erupted like a volcano, and the energy inside surged out.
A loud cracking sound rang out in the sky, like a thunderbolt from the blue, causing people’s ears to buzz. The energy spread in all directions like a tide, shattering the clouds in the sky.
“What terrifying power!” Everyone was dumbfounded.
After Dongfang Xueqing blocked this pillar of fire, she stood in the void, panting slightly, her face pale.
However, this was only a casual attack from the Flame Devil, and it made it difficult for her to resist it with all her strength.
In the end, her strength was no match for this Flame Devil.
The Flame Devil was furious, constantly spitting out flames, as if it was going to burn through the heavens.
Dongfang Xueqing flew in the sky. Her entire body was burning like golden flames. She glowed brightly. She constantly stabbed out spear shadows with her long spear in her hand and fought against the Flame Devil with all her might.
Each shot carried an incomparably powerful force, turning into a coiling dragon, causing the void to collapse.
Anyone with good eyesight could tell that Dongfang Xueqing’s strength was far from that of the Flame Devil.
This Flame Devil didn’t have any particularly powerful moves. Moreover, his intelligence was low, and he only knew how to spit out flames. However, this was the only way to force Dongfang Xueqing into a desperate situation.
If the Flame Devil had the intelligence to learn one or two attack spells, he might have already defeated her.
Of course, even so, it did not prevent people from admiring Dongfang Xueqing’s battle prowess. With just one person’s strength, she was actually able to fight against the Flame Fiend in the middle Void Realm. Her strength was already extremely terrifying.
As the battle continued, the Flame Devil’s attacks became more and more smooth. No matter how Dongfang Xueqing dodged, flames continued to spit out, forcing her to retreat repeatedly. The danger was still alive.
If it weren’t for the fact that she had accepted the War God’s Blood Essence and her defensive power was extremely strong, she would have already lost the formation.
The originally golden clothes were now charred black, far from the original demeanor of the War God. Fortunately, her clothes were also rare defensive treasures, so she didn’t suffer much damage.
However, it is inevitable to suffer some hardships.
“This Dongfang Xueqing’s strength is truly formidable. She can fight against the Flame Fiend in the middle Void Realm.” Everyone was discussing.
“Unfortunately, I’m still not a match for the Flame Devil.”
They could tell that Dongfang Xueqing had done her best. Although she definitely had a few trump cards left, her strength was about the same.
