The Heavenly Saber Novel - Chapter 632
Chapter 632 Martial Arts Congress (23)
The battle ended very quickly. Jiang Tianlin stepped on the void, continuously releasing heavenly waterfall torrents in the sky, smashing down on the ground.
The martial artists on the ground could only be beaten passively, but they didn’t have any means to attack Jiang Tianlin in the sky.
They can’t fly, so they can only be living targets.
It had to be said that this Heavenly Waterfall was truly a sharp weapon for a group of attacks. Many experts that were as powerful as the Rogue Cultivator Alliance were also beaten into pieces by this torrent that descended from the sky, and could only retreat one after another.
Jiang Tianlin obtained this Tier 4 Void Beast as he wished and became the final victor.
The Tier 4 Giant Snake was already on the verge of death. Soon, Jiang Tianlin harvested its head and removed its inner core.
Immediately after, he looked into the distance and saw Dongfang Xueqing and Li Qing with a playful look in his eyes.
“Dongfang Xueqing, Li Qing … Since the two of you have come here, why are you standing there peeking?”
“It’s not your turn to take care of this, is it?” Dongfang Xueqing snorted coldly.
“Hehe, the first and second on the ranking list actually hooked up so quickly? This really disappoints me.”
“What do you mean by saying so much nonsense?”
“Nothing much, just that the two of you are very unhappy. Why are you ranked ahead of me?” Jiang Tianlin was extremely arrogant. After defeating all the experts of the Rogue Cultivator Alliance, he was filled with confidence.
“Since we are strong, we are naturally at the top. No matter how unhappy you are, there is no way to change this fact.” Li Qing smiled.
“Their rankings are wrong! Today, I will prove it! As long as I defeat you, you won’t even have the qualifications to advance to the next round, you will definitely become the laughingstock of the world!” Jiang Tianlin’s eyes flashed with coldness.
He shouted loudly and waved his hand. The water around him descended from the sky and smashed towards Li Qing and Dongfang Xueqing’s heads.
Another heavenly waterfall flood!
“How is it, are you going to take action or should I come out?” Li Qing asked.
“Take action. I want to see your true strength!” Dongfang Xueqing said without concealment.
“Alright then.” Li Qing punched out and the Ancient Desolate Heaven Severing Fist shattered the vacuum, scattering the torrent in the sky and sprinkling rain all over the sky.
Even if it was a Dao Artifact, it depended on who had it. Jiang Tianlin was obviously unable to display the true power of the Dao Artifact, so he was naturally no match for Li Qing.
“Such power is only for dealing with the weak. In front of the real strong, it has no effect at all.”
“Haha, you are indeed very strong. I had already expected this, but the question is, what can you do to me if I fly in the sky?” Jiang Tianlin laughed proudly. The waterfall in his hand slowly condensed, and he was about to launch a second attack.
“Relying on a pair of flying precious shoes, you think you can run rampant without restraint? I’ll show you my methods now!” Li Qing sneered.
Seven-colored light flickered in his hand, and soon a ball of seven-colored liquid metal emerged from it. It was Eternal Immortal Gold.
This Eternal Immortal Gold could be varied. Under Li Qing’s control, it soon split into two balls. One of them turned into a seven-colored divine bow and the other into a seven-colored divine arrow.
“Today, I will shoot you down into the clouds.” Li Qing stretched his body and drew his bow and arrow, aiming the arrow at Jiang Tianlin.
His arms bulged, and purple gas circulated, giving him explosive power. The seven-colored divine arrow emitted a dazzling light.
Jiang Tianlin felt his heart skip a beat. An extremely dangerous aura surged into his heart and his body immediately moved horizontally.
Unfortunately, the movement speed of the pair of Heaven Trampling Shoes beneath his feet was too slow to keep up with his reaction speed.
A rainbow light flashed past, and its speed was incredibly fast. It was completely invisible, and it instantly struck his shoulder.
‘”Ah–” Jiang Tianlin let out a miserable scream. His shoulder was shot by the seven-colored divine arrow and scattered. His entire shoulder was badly mutilated, leaving behind a large chunk.
Boom!
Jiang Tianlin directly fell from the sky, creating a huge crater on the ground.
Li Qing took a step forward and arrived in front of him. He grabbed him and sealed his True Essence. He said coldly, “How is it? Do you still think you can eliminate the two of us now?”
Jiang Tianlin’s face was deathly pale and he was sweating profusely from pain. However, his eyes were filled with flames as he angrily said, “How dare you! How dare you hurt me! Do you know who I am?”
“You know, people from the Jiang Clan, is this identity awesome?”
“My master is Jiang Shuiliu. He was the number one in the world last time. If you dare to harm me, my master will not let you off!”
“Hehe, you actually dare to speak so hard when you fall into my hands. I really don’t know how to write the word’death ‘.” The Eternal Immortal Gold in Li Qing’s hand changed again, turning into a dagger that stabbed towards Jiang Tianlin’s head.
“Wait!” Jiang Tianlin was shocked and screamed.
“Haha, I’m just joking with you, didn’t I scare you? There are so many people watching from outside, I don’t dare to kill the genius disciples of the Jiang Clan.” Li Qing laughed loudly and stopped the dagger in time.
Jiang Tianlin broke out in cold sweat. He was indeed frightened by Li Qing just now. This was the first time he felt that death was so close.
At this moment, his entire body was unable to move, so naturally, he was unable to crush the token, unable to move out of the World King Diagram, and had no way of retreating.
Under such circumstances, no matter how arrogant he was, he had no choice but to admit defeat.
“Tell me, how can you let me go?” He tried to conceal the anger in his eyes.
“Let you go? Let’s leave all the Void Beast inner pills and treasures on you first.” Li Qing did not wait for the other party to speak before he took action and quickly exploited all of Jiang Tianlin’s possessions.
“Thirteen Tier 3 inner cores, plus more than 70 Tier 2 and 300 Tier 1 cores, add up to more than 2,000 points. Not bad.”
Apart from the Void Beast Inner Pills, there were also various spirit stones, treasures, and so on. Together, they were worth quite a lot. Li Qing naturally wouldn’t be polite and kept them all in his pocket.
“I admit defeat this time. Since you have already taken away my treasures, you can at least let me go, right?” Jiang Tianlin said.
After pondering for a moment, Li Qing suddenly turned his gaze to Jiang Tianlin’s feet. He was wearing a pair of flying-type treasures and heaven-stepping shoes.
“A flying treasure. It’s a rare treasure. I almost missed this pair of Heaven Trampling Shoes.” Li Qing reached out and pulled out his shoes.
Jiang Tianlin’s eyes were about to burst into flames. He had spent a lot of money to obtain these shoes. However, Li Qing had taken them away today. It was as if blood was dripping from his heart.
“Also, this dress can be considered a good treasure armor. It seems that the Jiang Clan has spent a lot of effort on you, yet your equipment is so excellent.” Li Qing chuckled.
The arrow just now was so powerful that it could have directly destroyed Jiang Tianlin’s arm, but in the end, it only shattered his shoulder. Clearly, it was thanks to this precious armor.
“Wait for me, what you took today, I will definitely return it ten times earlier than you!” Jiang Tianlin thought fiercely in his heart.
“I can tell you’re very angry.” Li Qing reached out and patted the other party’s face.
“You’ve already taken all my treasures. Do you still want to go back on your word?” Jiang Tianlin gritted his teeth.
“When did I promise to let you go?”
“You rebellious villain, I’ve already handed over all my treasures, and you still won’t let me go!” Jiang Tianlin was furious and struggled with all his might.
“These are all spoils of war that I deserve. I took the initiative to search for them from you. Why do you need to hand them over?”
Li Qing sneered and reached out to grab Jiang Tianlin’s body. Immediately, a stream of water flew out of Jiang Tianlin’s dantian and turned into a small waterfall.
This was the Jiang Clan’s Dao Suppressing Tool, Heavenly Waterfall!
At this moment, the Heavenly Waterfall was still trembling in Li Qing’s hands. However, Dao Weapons did not have intelligence, and they did not know how to use their power independently. They simply could not escape Li Qing’s devilish palm.
Jiang Tianlin’s expression changed drastically, “What are you trying to do? This Dao Artifact is our Jiang Clan’s treasure. Do you dare to take it away as well?”
“It’s nothing. I’m just looking at it. This Dao Artifact is only a tribulation. It’s subordinate to the Dao Artifact. I really don’t like it.” Li Qing curled his lips.
If he wanted to use the Dao Artifact, he had to recognize its owner. Even if Li Qing snatched it, he wouldn’t be able to use it. Moreover, there was the Jiang Clan’s imprint inside, and it could be sensed. Even if they escaped to the ends of the earth, they would not be able to escape their pursuit.
An unusable Dao artifact and the pursuit of the Jiang Clan was a big problem, so Li Qing naturally wouldn’t take it greedily.
Jiang Tianlin couldn’t help but let out a sigh of relief. As long as the Dao Artifact wasn’t lost, it was good.
In the next moment, Li Qing’s voice changed, “It’s just that although I can’t use it, I don’t have to return it to you.”
“What exactly are you trying to do?”
“Do you have any other treasures on you? If you want to retrieve the Heavenly Waterfall, you can exchange them for other treasures.”
“You’ve searched all the treasures in my body. How can I still have them?” Jiang Tianlin shook his head.
“Since that’s the case, then forget it. After we get out, let your Jiang Clan exchange for something.” Li Qing stretched out his hand and held Jiang Tianlin’s token in his hand, preparing to crush it.
Jiang Tianlin’s expression changed drastically as he hurriedly said, “What do you want to do?”
“Of course, I’ll crush the token and send you out. What, do you still want to stay in the World King Diagram? Do you think this is possible?”
Jiang Tianlin was silent for a moment. If he really crushed the token, it meant that he would be eliminated.
He didn’t even pass the first round. With such a terrible result, after returning to the Jiang Clan, it was hard for him to imagine what kind of treatment he would receive.
I’m afraid they’ll be laughed at by the entire Jiang Clan, right? And even punished.
Especially since this heavenly waterfall was still in Li Qing’s hands, it was equivalent to Jiang Tianlin losing it. Regardless of whether the Jiang Clan could find it or not, he would have to bear this responsibility.
“Wait, I have another treasure.”
“Oh? What treasure?” Li Qing was somewhat surprised. There was indeed something else hidden on this brat’s body. He was truly as cunning as a ghost.
“You have to promise me that once I hand over this treasure, you will let me go.”
Li Qing nodded, “Sure!”
“There are so many witnesses outside, I believe you won’t dare to go back on your word.” Jiang Tianlin’s face was filled with heartache as he opened his mouth and spat out a spatial ring.
Li Qing waved his hand and took the spatial ring over. He looked inside and then his expression was a little strange. He nodded and said, “Mm, this is a treasure, right? Considering that you are still honest, I will let you go today.”
Li Qing kept his promise and let go of Jiang Tianlin, returning the waterfall to him and letting him leave.
“I was defeated by you today because I underestimated my enemy. I will definitely come back and defeat you in the future!” Jiang Tianlin looked at him with hatred.
“You should think about yourself. I’ve taken all the inner pills from your body. Whether or not you can advance to the next round is a problem.”
“Hmph, even if I start from scratch, I can still advance. I won’t bother you anymore.” Jiang Tianlin turned around and left, disappearing into the forest.
“What did Jiang Tianlin hand over just now?” Dongfang Xueqing was a little curious.
“This is a secret.” Li Qing shook his head and remained silent.
He naturally wouldn’t say that the spatial ring Jiang Tianlin handed over was a Good Fortune Fruit!
As expected of a disciple of a great power. Not long after Li Qing arrived in Great Zhou, he encountered so many items that could enhance the unity of heaven and man.
If he was able to win Shi Ze and Song Zan’s bets smoothly, then there would be two more bets. Adding on what he had, there would be five bets.
Of course, eating too much of this food was no good. The more it was, the worse the effect would be.
If he couldn’t break through to the Void Realm after eating two or three pills, then he could be sure that he wouldn’t be able to cross this barrier in his life.
Li Qing gave Liu Ke’er and Wen Xiao Xian the Void Beast Inner Pills he had obtained. Each of them had 1,000 points. This way, the two of them would be close to 3,000 points, ensuring that they would be able to advance.
Dongfang Xueqing watched anxiously from the side, her mind somewhat unbalanced. He returned empty-handed and didn’t get anything, but Li Qing was lucky enough to return with a full load.
“Let’s go. Continue searching for Tier 4 Void Beasts.” Unwilling to accept it, she walked forward with a cold face.
Since they had already formed a team, but hadn’t hunted down a Tier 4 Void Beast, they naturally wouldn’t give up easily. Especially now that she was mentally unbalanced, she had to find something to vent her anger on.
Outside, in the palace hall.
“Look at the seven-colored liquid Li Qing just used. What is that?” Someone asked.
“The seven-colored liquid, could it be the Veluriyam Immortal Palace’s Veluriyam Immortal Liquid?”
“How is that possible? The Veluriyam Immortal Liquid is definitely not like this. Furthermore, it can’t be used as a weapon at all.”
“The seven-colored liquid in Li Qing’s hand can be varied. The power of the weapon he created is not bad. It can also be said to be a precious treasure.”
Everyone’s thoughts were different, and they had another layer of concern for Li Qing’s treasures. They had never entered the Immortal Mountain of Phantom Sea, so they naturally could not recognize that this was the legendary Eternal Immortal Gold.
There were very few people in the world who could find the Immortal Mountain, let alone climb the mountain peak even if they did.
“However, it can be seen from this that Jiang Tianlin is no match for Li Qing. It seems that the Jiang Clan won’t be able to get first place this time.” Someone said intentionally or unintentionally.
Jiang Shuiliu’s expression remained calm. “Life and death are destiny, wealth and honor reside in the heavens. Since you cannot win the first place, even if your strength is weak, the Jiang Clan will not force you to do so.”
“That’s not necessarily the case. Have you forgotten? Last time, Jiang Shuiliu was defeated by someone else in the World King Diagram. Later on, he benefited from his misfortune. He suddenly realized that only by making great strides in his strength would he be able to win the first place. Perhaps Jiang Tianlin could do the same.”
“Back then, Jiang Shuiliu comprehended the Laws of Water in the Xiantian Realm. He was much more powerful than many Void Realm experts. This realm was something that a person could reach.”
“This kind of epiphany can’t be divided into two. I really don’t believe that Jiang Tianlin has such good luck.” Someone disagreed.
Void realm experts could comprehend the Laws of Heaven and Earth after they merged with the heavens and humans, so that they could control Power of heaven and earth.
Generally speaking, the deeper one comprehended the Laws of Heaven and Earth, the more powerful the Power of heaven and earth they controlled.
However, in reality, the number of Void Realm experts who could comprehend the Laws of Heaven and Earth wasn’t very large. At the very least, they would only be able to reach the fourth level of the Void Realm.
Those who could push their comprehension of the Laws to a higher level would be even more difficult. The path of cultivation that followed would basically take a long time to accomplish.
Otherwise, if Void Realm experts had a lifespan of 500 years, why were there so few experts who could break through to the Dao Realm? It was all because it was too difficult.
Only by pushing the comprehension of Laws to the extreme would one be able to comprehend the Grand Dao and reach a completely new realm.
Jiang Shuiliu was able to comprehend the Laws of Heaven and Earth with the Xiantian realm. No wonder they were so amazed. This kind of situation might not happen once in hundreds of years.
…
Not long after Li Qing left this place, Song Zan, Tungus, and a group of disciples of the Towering Heaven Sect were showing the scene on the mirror in a hidden place in the distance.
“How is it? Can you tell Li Qing’s strength?”
“This Li Qing should be very strong, but he’s not as strong as Tungus.”
“I’m not bragging, let alone Li Qing. Even Dongfang Xueqing, who specializes in body techniques, is not necessarily my opponent in terms of strength,” Tungus said proudly.
“That Jiang Shuiliu’s strength is pretty good. Although he lost to Li Qing, he might not be a strong reinforcer. We can find him to join forces and deal with Li Qing together.” Song Zan said slowly.
Ever since they knew Li Qing’s true identity, they had attached great importance to it. Although he had previously utterly mocked Number One on the Earth Rankings, he knew in his heart that such a person was not to be trifled with.
If he wanted to defeat Li Qing, he really didn’t have much confidence.
Tungus was the strongest amongst them and could also contend against Void Realm experts, but he thought that it was impossible for him to do what Li Qing had done.
Therefore, in order to avoid losing this bet, he could only make a move first and eliminate Li Qing.
Otherwise, losing a towering snow lotus would be a huge loss.
As Li Qing walked along the road, there was always a feeling that someone was secretly monitoring him. However, when he used his divine sense to scan, he could not find any traces of the enemy.
This feeling was very similar to the Void Painting Mirror of the Towering Sect.
However, the scope of the Void Painting Mirror wasn’t too large. With the strength of a Xiantian expert, it was only a few kilometers at most. Under his divine sense, there was no reason why he wouldn’t be able to sense it.
