The Heavenly Saber Novel - Chapter 631
Chapter 631 Martial Arts Congress (22)
As time passed, the number of Second Grade Void Beasts in the World King Diagram became smaller and smaller, and they were basically all killed.
The rest were all Third Grade and above!
To kill a Tier 3 Void Beast was equivalent to possessing the strength to resist the Void Realm. This was something that was impossible for most martial artists.
Even if they were to form a team, it would still be very difficult to kill a Tier 3 Void Beast, not to mention that there would inevitably be casualties during the battle. The risk was too great.
In case of danger, he would either die or move out of the World King Diagram. Ordinary people would naturally not be so stupid as to do such a thing as marrying someone else.
Therefore, it was not an easy task to form a team to hunt Tier 3 Void Beasts.
Since he was unable to attack the Void Beast, he could only focus his attention on humans.
In their eyes, humans were much easier to deal with than virtual beasts.
If they were lucky enough to succeed, they would be able to seize the Void Beast Inner Pill from these people. In the World King Diagram, robbery was not forbidden. This was within the scope of a reasonable rule.
If the robbed person crushed the token in time and moved out of the World King Diagram, then it wouldn’t be a bad thing.
As long as he moved out of the Realm King Diagram, he would lose the qualifications to continue the competition, which was equivalent to losing one of his competitors.
As a result, after killing all the Second Grade Void Beasts, the battles between humans became more frequent. In order to advance, they had no choice but to desperately attack others.
Even if he failed in the end, there was basically no danger to his life as long as he crushed the token in time.
In any case, if he stayed in the World King Diagram, he wouldn’t be able to kill a Tier 3 Void Beast. He would be idle if he was idle. It would be better to take a risk. Perhaps there would be an additional gain.
Over time, a few large forces formed.
These forces were all formed by powerful martial artists, and they were characterized by a certain region. For example, the martial artists of the Eastern Region formed the Eastern Region Alliance.
The other four regions were also in the same situation, joining forces.
Finally, there were some loose cultivator combinations. Although their strength was a bit weaker, they had the largest number of people, so they could not be underestimated.
As for Li Qing, he didn’t join any forces.
In fact, many factions had invited him, but Li Qing did not agree. What was the point of joining a mob that had united in a short period of time?
It was better to be alone, free and unfettered.
In any case, with his strength, he could kill a Tier 3 Void Beast, so he wasn’t worried about the score. If this goes on, the scores will continue to rise.
During this period of time, he encountered many Tier 3 Void Beasts, all of them killed by themselves, and distributed some to Liu Ke’er and Wen Xiao.
Xiao Bai also wanted it, but Li Qing didn’t give it to her. If this little fellow still wanted to compete with so many geniuses, it would simply be foolish.
Based on the points in her hands, it was basically impossible for her to advance to the next round.
After all, there were too many martial artists participating in the World Martial Arts Gathering. Although many of them were abundant, there were some powerful figures among them.
Choosing a thousand people from among them, the competition was very cruel.
If it weren’t for the fact that he had a year to hunt down the Void Beast, Li Qing wouldn’t be able to help Liu Ke’er and Wen Xiao advance first. The longer the time, the greater the chances of success.
A Tier 3 Void Beast could not be killed by others, but he could. This was the main advantage.
With the passage of time, many people recognized his identity. Knowing that he was the number one Li Qing on the Eastern Region Earth Rankings, they naturally did not dare to provoke him. The various teams would not target him, this was a thankless task.
“Brother Li Qing, are you really not going to join our team?” Venerable Lei stood in front of him and said, intending to move him as a friend.
“Forget it, I’ll do it by myself.” Li Qing shook his head.
“Killing a Tier 3 Void Beast is extremely dangerous. If we are not careful, accidents may occur. Our team is still lacking a powerful figure. If we can get your help, it will definitely be like adding wings to a tiger.”
“I’ve made up my mind. You don’t have to say anything else.”
“Alright, if you ever change your mind, you can come to me at any time.” Venerable Thunder left.
The team that the Thunder Sovereign was referring to was naturally not a small group from the Heavenly Thunder Sect, but a group of outstanding geniuses from their Great Zhou Dynasty.
The membership of the Great Zhou forces’ joint team was not trivial. There were several experts who could contend against the Void Realm, and there were also several experts who possessed Dao Artifacts. Together, these people were able to kill Third Grade Void Beasts without causing any casualties.
But in the end, there was no danger. He always felt that it was not safe, so he came to invite Li Qing. If he joined, he would definitely be able to win.
However, Li Qing did not want to be with these people. He could easily accomplish something by himself. Why did he have to join hands with others? Wasn’t he asking for trouble?
He could kill a Tier 3 Void Beast at will. Even if the Void Beast counterattacked, it wouldn’t be able to cause him too much damage.
He couldn’t do anything about it. Who would let his defense be so strong?
Even if Dongfang Xueqing activated the War God Transformation, she didn’t dare to say that her defense was stronger than Li Qing’s. Moreover, Li Qing had Myriad Devil’s true body, and his injuries could be healed at any time. He was simply an unbeatable Xiao Qiang.
There was no threat to his life at all. He had enough to eat and work with others?
“How many points do you have now?” Li Qing asked.
“More than 1,600 points.” Wen Xiao replied first.
“1800 points!” Liu Ke’er replied. She had the Wind Fiend Flag with her. Earlier, she had used this flag to kill many Void Beasts, so her score was higher.
“I’m afraid it’s not very safe.” Li Qing frowned slightly.
1800 points was equivalent to 180 Tier 2 Void Beasts. A stronger martial artist could do it with good luck. This score was not safe.
“What was the score of the last promotion?” Li Qing asked.
“It should be at least 2,000 points. This is the conclusion reached by all previous sessions. There is basically nothing wrong with it.”
“Then we’ll kill to three thousand points. This way, we should be able to advance without any danger.” Li Qing said.
At this moment, a streak of light suddenly streaked across the sky and flew over. Li Qing swept his divine sense and was somewhat surprised. The person who came was Dongfang Xueqing.
Very quickly, she landed on the ground and arrived in front of Li Qing.
“Why did you suddenly come looking for me?” Li Qing felt a little strange.
“I found a Tier 4 Void Beast. I can’t deal with it alone. How about cooperating with me?” She said straightforwardly.
“How do I divide the inner core?”
“You’ve already obtained the Fourth Grade Void Beast inner core from the Flame Devil last time. This time, it’s my turn.”
“Last time, I didn’t say that I was cooperating with you. At that time, it was you who didn’t want the inner core. That’s why it fell into my hands. You can’t blame me.” Li Qing didn’t want to suffer any losses at all.
“Then what do you think we should do?”
“Divide it equally. Just give me five Tier 3 inner pills.”
“Alright, let’s settle this.” Dongfang Xueqing was also a straightforward person, so she directly agreed.
Next, Li Qing and Dongfang Xueqing formed a team.
Unlike Li Qing, who brought along several friends, Dongfang Xueqing did not seem to have any companions. Even though she was from the War God Palace, she did not see anyone beside her.
This feminine character was not only stubborn, but also extremely withdrawn. To be exact, she should be considered arrogant. If she looked down on anyone, it would naturally be difficult for her to find any friends.
However, Li Qing appreciated this kind of personality. He was proud of himself and had a firm dao heart. No wonder he was able to improve so quickly.
Dongfang Xueqing had the ability to be arrogant, and her personality wasn’t bad. Although she wanted to seek revenge on him, she hadn’t done anything against him until now.
Along the way, she was silent and basically did not speak. She had a cold face and did not approach strangers.
Li Qing tried several times to find an opportunity to chat with her, but he did not succeed. Obviously, the relationship between the two sides was still at a freezing point. This time, it was only limited to cooperation.
Originally, he wanted to ask Dongfang Xueqing about the destruction of the Heavenly Saber Tribe, but who knew that this woman would not divulge the slightest bit? This made his heart itch.
After walking for half a day, they arrived at their destination. Unexpectedly, there was already a large group of people standing there, attacking the Tier 4 Void Beast.
This Tier 4 Void Beast was a giant snake. It opened its mouth and spat out a poisonous mist. Some people were unable to avoid it and were killed instantly without crushing the token.
Although there were a large number of people, they didn’t have much lethality in front of this giant snake. They just stood around and made some harassing attacks.
“This is the Rogue Cultivator Alliance’s team!” Dongfang Xueqing quickly recognized him.
The individual strength of rogue cultivators was weak, so there were only a few more people. Only then did they have the confidence to challenge a Tier 4 Void Beast.
Seeing more and more casualties, at this moment, a huge aura suddenly rose from the distance, and blood and qi shot up into the sky like pillars that pierced through the heavens.
An old man walked over with a bone stick in his hand.
“Die!”
The muscles of the old man’s arm twisted, looking exceptionally ferocious. He swung out a stick and hit the head of the snake.
With a loud rumble, the snake’s head was instantly smashed into the ground, creating a huge crater.
The might of a single strike was so great!
For a moment, the giant snake seemed to be a little dizzy, apparently dumbfounded by this rod.
Everyone cheered and rushed forward to attack the snake head.
All sorts of powerful attacks struck the head of the snake, forming an energy storm that rumbled until the heavens and earth collapsed.
More than a hundred martial artists were basically Xiantian level 10 existences. The power of their combined attacks could be seen.
However, this giant snake was at least a Tier 4 Void Beast. It was comparable to a mid Void Realm Void Beast. Naturally, it would not be easy to kill it, and it would not collapse under the attacks of the storm.
The smooth scales of the snake flickered with light, and its defense was extremely powerful, removing more than half of the attack.
Roar!
The giant snake quickly regained consciousness and swung its tail towards the crowd, instantly cutting off dozens of people’s waist.
“Ah–”
For a moment, miserable screams echoed out one after another.
“Let me do it!” On the other side, another tyrannical figure rose up and jumped high into the air. A huge axe fiercely slashed towards the giant snake. It actually cut through the smooth scales of the snake and directly cut out a huge wound. Blood flowed like a pillar.
The giant snake was in pain, and its head bit back. It was incredibly fast like lightning. It bit the giant axe, and with a cracking sound, it shattered it.
“This Liao is too strong. Everyone, attack together!” The bearer of the axe broke out in cold sweat and immediately shouted.
As soon as he finished speaking, powerful auras suddenly rose from the surroundings, all of them faintly possessing power that surpassed the Xiantian realm. The strongest of them was the old man standing in the void, holding a bone stick in his hand.
Dongfang Xueqing said, “Among the rogue cultivators, there are eight extremely powerful figures. Each of them has formed a team and is known as the Eight Great Heavenly Kings. It seems that these people have joined forces to deal with this Tier 4 Void Beast.”
“These so-called Eight Great Heavenly Kings are basically able to contend against the Void Realm. So many experts have greatly exceeded my expectations. They should be able to kill this Tier 4 Void Beast today.” Li Qing said.
This battle was extremely arduous, with heavy casualties. Among them, the weaker ones were either killed directly or moved out of the World King Diagram.
After sacrificing his own strength, he ended the World King Diagram. Of course, they must have received some sort of reward in advance, so they were willing to work hard.
“This Tier 4 Void Beast was robbed by the Rogue Cultivator Alliance. What should we do?” Li Qing asked.
“Find something else.” Dongfang Xueqing shrugged.
The battle lasted for more than half a day before the giant snake finally collapsed and was on the verge of death.
With so many people and so much strength, they were still waiting for the combined power of so many martial artists to kill a Tier 4 Void Beast.
Just as they were about to kill the giant serpent and take out the inner core, a huge pressure suddenly descended from the sky.
A figure stepped on the void and waved his hand. An endless waterfall descended from the sky and landed on the ground.
The flood was monstrous, and many people were instantly washed away, dying unexpectedly. Others crushed their tokens and moved away in time.
Clear the field in one move!
Someone was trying to steal the Void Beast’s inner core!
Those who could withstand this flood were basically powerful figures, at least comparable to experts from the Eastern Region Earth Rankings.
There weren’t many such figures in the Rogue Cultivator Alliance. There were only a few dozen of them. In addition to the eight Heavenly Kings, they had lost more than half of their strength.
“Jiang Tianlin! It’s you!” Everyone recognized him.
This new figure was the genius of the Jiang Clan, one of the eight great clans of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Jiang Tianlin.
Jiang Tianlin was the first disciple of Jiang Shuiliu in the last Martial Arts Convention. The torrent that had just descended from the sky was a Dao Artifact called the Heavenly Waterfall!
This Dao Artifact, Heavenly Waterfall, was precisely the weapon that Jiang Shuiliu used to seize the first place. Today, it was once again reappeared in the Martial Arts Gathering.
Could it be that he wanted to imitate the current of the river and plan to make a big splash?
As the most outstanding disciple of the Jiang Clan, Jiang Tianlin not only borrowed the Dao Weapon of the Zhen Clan, he also possessed a flying treasure. It was the pair of shoes under his feet, called the Heaven Trampling Shoes.
So that they could fly in the sky.
The Heaven Trampling Shoes weren’t fast, but they were still better than people who didn’t have flying treasures.
“This Tier 4 Void Beast belongs to me!” Jiang Tianlin said arrogantly.
“How arrogant. Do you think that you are invincible under the heavens just because you possess a Dao Artifact?” The old man holding the bone stick was furious.
“Hehe, Invincible Under Heaven doesn’t dare to pretend to be so arrogant, but it’s enough to deal with you guys!”
“Little doll, I’ll teach you how powerful we are today.” The old man shouted loudly and immediately rushed into the sky.
This old man was the strongest person in the Rogue Cultivator Alliance. Clearly, his physical body was extremely powerful, allowing him to break through the void. His situation was similar to Dongfang Xueqing’s.
What was even more terrifying was that this old man was actually a dual cultivator. No wonder he was able to contend against the Void Realm. Without any powerful treasures or powerful secret arts, he was still able to accomplish this step. He was truly extremely formidable.
Apart from Li Qing, this was the second person to be able to do so.
Unfortunately, this old man had a fatal flaw. That was, he did not possess any formidable peerless techniques, and the cultivation techniques he cultivated were extremely mediocre. Hence, he was heaven and earth different from Li Qinglai.
Li Qing looked at Jiang Tianlin in the sky and sighed, “Why are all these people holding Dao Artifacts? The geniuses of the major powers are different.”
“I heard that you seem to have a few Dao Artifacts in your hand. Why didn’t you bring them out for use?” Dongfang Xueqing rarely spoke.
“Nothing. I just don’t want to bully people with Dao tools. I can defeat you with my bare hands.” Li Qing said indifferently.
“Right, since you are the most outstanding disciple of the War God Temple, why didn’t you bring a Dao Artifact?” He asked.
“I only use the most handy ones.”
“Take out your Battle God Axe. Isn’t that sweeping the world? Or perhaps even your Battle God Armor?” Li Qing said.
“Do you think this is possible?” Dongfang Xueqing said coldly.
Speaking of which, even though so many people had borrowed Dao Artifacts at this Martial Arts Convention, and they seemed to be extremely powerful, there was actually not a single Supreme Divine Weapon.
For example, the War God Axe, the Heaven and Earth Smelt, and so on, would definitely not be able to come here.
If he really brought the Dao Artifact of the Nine Tribulations, it was hard to say if the Great Zhou Dynasty would have any ill intentions to snatch it away.
Such a heaven-defying treasure was as powerful as Emperor Zhou Majesty’s heart. Any promise would be forgotten.
Just as they were conversing, the battle in the field had already begun. Jiang Tianlin and the old man were fighting in the void.
Around Jiang Tianlin was a torrent that no one was allowed to approach. The old man was trapped in the torrent, unable to advance inch by inch, not even able to get close to Jiang Tianlin.
Boom!
The old man was quickly washed down by the torrent and smashed into the ground. Fortunately, the old man had dual cultivation and his physical body was strong, so he didn’t suffer any injuries.
“You are no match for me!” Jiang Tianlin said proudly.
“The might of the Heavenly Waterfall is indeed different from the sound of a pill. I don’t want this Tier 4 Void Beast anymore.” After the old man finished speaking, he turned around and left.
“Haha, why don’t you guys get lost?” Jiang Tianlin laughed loudly.
“There are so many of us, are we still afraid of you? Even if Dongfang Xueqing comes, she will still explode!” The members of the Rogue Cultivator Alliance were furious.
“Act recklessly!” Jiang Tianlin’s face was filled with disdain as he waved his hand and a surging torrent descended from the sky.
