The Heavenly Saber Novel - Chapter 637
Chapter 637 Martial Arts Congress (28)
After killing the green bull, Li Qing flew around in the sky, searching for traces of the enemy. His divine sense constantly scanned, and finally found the hiding place of the Towering Sect.
Unfortunately, it was empty. These people were too vigilant, and they were still able to escape early.
“What nonsense! A few cunning mice, don’t get caught by me!” Li Qing’s expression was cold.
Returning to their original place, Dongfang Xueqing, Ye Lin and the others looked at Li Qing with complicated expressions in their eyes. Killing a Tier 5 Void Beast was simply too shocking for them!
“How did you do it?”
“This is my secret, so it’s not convenient to tell.” Li Qing shook his head.
“You already have the means to kill a Tier 5 Void Beast. Why didn’t you use it earlier?” Dongfang Xueqing asked.
“Didn’t you also have the War God Transformation? Can you take it out for use?” Li Qing asked.
Dongfang Xueqing was immediately speechless. The War God Transformation can only be used once a year. Could it be that Li Qing’s methods are the same?
Under normal circumstances, it was impossible for Xiantian experts to kill a Tier 5 Void Beast. They must have used some powerful means to achieve this.
Such a terrifying method was usually used as the last trump card, so it was naturally impossible for him to take it out easily.
“Brother Li Qing, I really admire you for being able to kill a Tier 5 Void Beast! You will definitely become the first person in the history of the Martial Arts Convention!” Ye Lin undisguised praised.
“The Martial Arts Conference hasn’t finished yet. How can I draw a conclusion so quickly? Your flattery is truly a disappointment to me.” Li Qing said modestly.
Outside, inside the Great Zhou Imperial Palace.
“Can you see how Li Qing killed a Tier 5 Void Beast?” Someone asked.
“I can’t tell. At that time, there was a white mist that covered the sky. I couldn’t see it clearly.” Everyone shook their heads.
“Emperor Zhou Majesty, since you control the World King Diagram, do you see it clearly?” Daoism Lord Lingtian suddenly asked.
Emperor Zhou shook his head, “No.”
“This matter is very strange. How can a Xiantian expert kill a peak Void Realm expert? Even a sneak attack is impossible. Under normal circumstances, Xiantian experts are unable to break through their defenses.”
“We might as well guess. There are some things that can be confirmed.” Someone analyzed, “At that time, Li Qing should have taken advantage of the fact that Qing Niu was attracted to the Towering Mirror to suddenly launch a fatal blow from his neck.”
“The green bull didn’t notice Li Qing’s approach, so it was killed instantly. This also meant that Li Qing possessed a very clever concealment method.”
“In addition, Li Qing should only be able to launch a single attack. If he can’t kill Qing Niu, then there won’t be a chance. Therefore, it can be guessed that Qing Niu must have been killed by a single move. There definitely won’t be a second attack!”
“Normally speaking, Xiantian experts can’t rely on their own abilities to accomplish this, not even in the reincarnation of the Extreme Emperor. In other words, Li Qing relied on some powerful treasure or weapon to kill Qing Niu in one move!”
“Li Qing must have some sort of special treasure on him!”
“The characteristic of this treasure is that it is extremely sharp. No matter how strong the defense is, it will not be able to withstand a single blow in front of this treasure.”
“Such a powerful thing shouldn’t be able to ignore all levels of defense and instantaneously kill even stronger existences with the help of nameless things. What do you think its origins are?”
When everyone heard this, they couldn’t help but sink into deep thought. Such a treasure was truly tempting!
Someone said, “We still need to ask the Eastern Region about this matter. They have been entangled with Li Qing for so long, so they should know his background.”
“There’s no need to guess. I know what Li Qing is using.” One of them said.
Everyone looked over and saw that this person was none other than Daoist Mountain River Sect of Supreme Elder in the Eastern Region, Daoist White-browed!
“As far as I know, Li Qing has at least two Dao Artifacts in his hand. One of them is the Yin Yang Grinding Wheel. It is the most precious treasure left behind by the Yin Yang Demon Emperor back then.”
Hearing the words “Yin Yang Demon Emperor”, the gazes of everyone present immediately flickered. After all, when the Yin Yang Demon Emperor crossed the seventh level of the lightning tribulation, their forces had also participated in the interception and killing.
“The second Dao Artifact is a large purple saber. The power of this saber is boundless. I wonder where it came from.”
Someone smiled and said, “I heard that it was this saber that broke the general trend of the mountains and rivers and ruined the foundation of your 10,000-year-old sect?”
When everyone heard this, they couldn’t help but laugh out loud. His gaze towards Daoist White-browed was filled with ridicule and pity.
Daoist White-browed said expressionlessly, “Li Qing has such a powerful method. I was convinced that he lost. The so-called’invincibility ‘is not an opportunity for our Mountain River Sect to rise.”
“Alright, cut the gossip. What do you think the origin of this saber is?”
“There are several famous purple broadswords in history. The most famous one is the Eternal Demon Saber of the Demon Ancestor. However, the Eternal Demon Saber has been lost for 100,000 years. It shouldn’t be it, right?”
Everyone’s hearts trembled when they heard the words Eternal Demonic Saber. The supreme item of the Demon Gate, how terrifying its might would be!
“Even if it really is the Eternal Demon Saber, none of us have seen it with our own eyes. We simply cannot recognize it.”
“Stop joking. If it really is the Eternal Demon Saber, how can the people of the Demon Gate let it go? Demon Master Yin Tianhong is a very talented person. He is not much inferior to Emperor Zhou Majesty. He will not miss it. How can we make a blind guess here?”
“However, we can be sure that the saber in Li Qing’s hand must have an extraordinary origin. Wait and see if there is a chance to seize it and use it for us.”
Everyone had their own plans in their hearts as their gazes flickered.
As the information about the Eternal Demonic Saber was too long ago, it was almost impossible for any words to be passed down, let alone seen it with one’s own eyes.
Over the course of 100,000 years, the vicissitudes of life, the changes of the world, and the dark turmoil, the three great devilish tribulations, and the tide of beasts that swept the world had destroyed countless documents and records. Many great historical events had long since been annihilated in the long river of history.
In fact, not to mention the records of the Devil Saber, even some of the great figures of the ancient times probably wouldn’t be able to name a few.
For example, many of the five ancient emperors were basically unable to recognize them.
Li Qing was also able to obtain those ancient secrets from the mouth of the Ancient Desolate Emperor.
However, although the world had never seen the Eternal Demonic Saber before, it did not prevent them from speculating and was gradually approaching the truth. As for what they thought in their hearts, it was unknown.
Li Qing had miscalculated. No matter how well he concealed it, outsiders didn’t personally see how he killed a Tier 5 Void Beast, but they could guess it out of thin air.
The wisdom of a Dao Realm expert was not that easy to fool.
Fortunately, they didn’t dare to confirm Li Qingtian’s origins. Otherwise, they would have directly arrested him. This could be considered a great fortune amidst misfortune.
…
Time passed day by day, and the one-year deadline was approaching. Since Li Qing killed that Tier 5 Void Beast, his score had already reached 20,000 points.
This score was absolutely unprecedented, and it could basically be said that there was no one who came after him.
Killing a Tier 5 Void Beast was a feat that could be recorded in history. In every future Martial Arts Convention, this record of his would not be erased, and it would still be constantly mentioned by people.
Soon, time came to the last day. Their team was finally disbanded. Dongfang Xueqing flew away alone first. Ye Lin, Wind Lightning Swordsman, and Chang Wudi also bid farewell and left.
Only Li Qing, Liu Ke’er, Wen Xiao and Xiao Bai were left.
“Be careful. I can feel that the people from the Towering Sect have not given up completely. They should launch another sneak attack at the last moment.”
“What do you mean?”
“It was the moment they were about to leave the World King Diagram. After they launched a sneak attack, the time had come. There was no risk in moving out.”
“Then what should we do? It’s impossible for them to sneak attack us like this without any ability to retaliate, right?” Xiao Bai was very unhappy.
“It’s not my style to keep getting beaten up and not be able to fight back! Don’t worry, I’ve already found a way to deal with them. This matter will still fall on you.” Li Qing said.
“Oh? How can I help you?” Xiao Bai said excitedly.
Li Qing whispered a few words in Xiao Bai’s ear. She immediately understood and understood.
Soon, the deadline within the World King Diagram was coming, leaving only half an hour left.
Li Qing and the others sat in the middle of a dense forest, their faces full of vigilance.
Then, Xiao Bai waved his hand, and a white mist rose, covering everything here…
In a concealed place ten miles away, the people of the Towering Sect were hiding deep underground, and they even set up concealed formations around the underground cave.
They will launch their final attack in this place!
Even if Li Qing wanted to find such a secret place, it would probably take some time.
At that time, the deadline for the World King Diagram had already arrived, so he could naturally move it out calmly.
Therefore, they were full of confidence and felt that there was no danger.
“At this last moment, we will do the last thing. Whether we succeed or not, we will not have any risks.” A sinister smile appeared on Song Zan’s face.
“No matter how formidable Li Qing is, he will still be chased by us. He won’t be able to fight back. Haha, the number one on the Earth Rankings is nothing more than that.” Someone laughed arrogantly.
‘”Who told you to underestimate him like this? Killing a Tier 5 Void Beast is definitely not something an ordinary person can do. To provoke such a terrifying person, my scalp is slightly numb, but you can still laugh.” Song Zan’s eyes immediately widened, “Who told you to underestimate him like this?” “Killing a Tier 5 Void Beast is definitely not something an ordinary person can do.”
The man’s expression stiffened and he said embarrassedly, “I’m also cutting off the enemy’s arrogance and increasing my prestige.”
“Eh? Everyone, look! The scene in the mirror is obscured by a layer of white mist. I can’t see it clearly.” Someone said.
Song Zan’s heart trembled as he said in a deep voice, “Damn it, Li Qing sent out our intentions! If we deliberately conceal it, we won’t be able to launch an attack!”
“Isn’t Li Qing too vigilant? You can even guess like this!”
“Then what should we do now? Do we still need to launch a sneak attack?”
“What the hell is a sneak attack? Hidden in the white mist, you can’t even see your figure clearly. How can you succeed in a sneak attack?”
“Let’s go, let’s leave this place immediately! Perhaps Li Qing is secretly looking for us by taking advantage of this layer of white mist!” Song Zan said solemnly.
“Impossible, isn’t it? The time is almost up. There’s only half an hour left. Logically speaking, Li Qing shouldn’t be able to find us, right?”
“It’s hard to say. We have to guess the enemy’s intentions according to the maximum danger level. If you were Li Qing, you would find us nearby. Do you think you would take advantage of this time to secretly search for us?”
“Yes, but there shouldn’t be enough time.”
“Have you forgotten how Li Qing found our hiding place? If we hadn’t escaped fast enough, he would have caught up to us!”
Everyone then remembered that Li Qing didn’t know what method he had, but he seemed to be able to quickly find their hiding place!
They couldn’t understand how it was done at all. They had thought about it for a long time, but they hadn’t figured it out.
“Alright, let’s leave now!” Everyone nodded.
“Wait!”
“What’s the matter?”
“The scene on the mirror has changed again!”
Everyone looked at the scene in the towering mirror and saw that the white mist had gradually dissipated and regained its clarity.
Li Qing and the other four were still sitting there!
“Eh? What’s going on? Li Qing didn’t come looking for us!” They were puzzled.
“What’s the situation with that white mist? Why did it suddenly appear? Are they joking?”
“This person is indeed Li Qing, not someone else. We should be overthinking it. Li Qing doesn’t seem to be as smart as we thought.”
“But I always feel that something is wrong, but I can’t say it out loud.”
“Then what should we do now?”
“Since they are still standing there, let’s go according to the original plan.” Song Zan pondered for a moment and said slowly.
The evil intent in his heart still triumphed over reason. He really didn’t believe that something unpredictable would happen in such a short period of time.
If the original risk was zero, then the current risk had only increased to one tenth, and it was still worth the risk.
“Alright, wait until the last fifteen minutes, we will launch an attack. This time, we must kill Li Qing in the World King Diagram!”
Half an hour was almost up. There was only a little time left. Song Zan’s spirits lifted and he shouted, “Let’s move now! Everyone, attack together and activate the power of the Towering Mirror!”
“Haha, Ren Li Qing would never have imagined what kind of attack this time!”
Song Zan’s face revealed a cruel expression, “Li Qing’s physical body is incomparably strong, and his defense is extremely strong. With the power of the Towering Mirror, it is very difficult to kill him. Therefore, our attack this time will be a soul attack!”
Once he hit Li Qing, with the strength of a Xiantian expert’s soul, it would be very difficult to resist this soul attack!
After all, Xiantian experts did not condense their primordial spirits, and their souls were extremely fragile!
“If we were to attack Li Qing directly, with his alert personality, he would definitely avoid him in advance. However, he didn’t expect that our target would be the woman next to him!”
“Based on our observation over the past few days, that woman must be Li Qing’s beloved. If you aim at her, Li Qing will most likely go all out to resist. At that time, even if you don’t want to hit her, it will be difficult!”
“Haha, Big Brother Song’s actions this time are really one plan at a time. It’s like a heavenly net. Li Qing is trapped in it like a caged beast. No matter what, it’s impossible for him to escape!”
“The outcome is already doomed!” Everyone was filled with confidence.
Everyone gathered their True Essence into the Towering Mirror. Instantly, a bright mirror light flashed, penetrating through the void and appearing at the location where Li Qing and the other four were.
Boom!
This mirror light descended on Liu Ke’er’s head. Because of its speed, it hit her in the blink of an eye.
“How is that possible? Li Qing actually didn’t personally defend against it!” Everyone revealed puzzled expressions.
In the next moment, they saw the figure that had been hit instantly shatter into nothingness!
“Not good, we’ve been tricked. That’s just an illusion!” Song Zan’s expression changed drastically.
“Run!” A bad premonition rose in everyone’s hearts.
“You won’t be able to escape!”
Above the underground hiding place of the crowd, a loud voice sounded, followed by a rumble and the earth shook.
The cave instantly collapsed, and all the disciples of the Towering Heaven Sect were buried inside.
Fortunately, they were all Xiantian experts, so burying this kind of soil wouldn’t cause them much trouble. One by one, they raised their True Essence shields and rushed deeper underground.
Boom!
Everyone could only hear the earth trembling violently. Then, an incomparably tyrannical force descended from above their heads, instantly creating a terrifying crack in the earth.
“Ah–”
Many disciples of the Towering Sect felt as if they were about to be crushed by this attack. The surrounding soil was compressed to the point that it was as hard as rock.
Li Qing stood on the ground and transformed into Ancient God’s golden body. He opened the Primordial Emperor Occult and raised his huge fist, punching towards the ground one punch at a time.
The ground cracked and spread out in all directions, shattering the mountains and rivers nearby.
If this continued, the people underground would sooner or later be killed by the earthquake!
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
The disciples of the Towering Heaven Sect underground couldn’t stand it anymore. They were forced to attack the ground, all of them in a sorry state, their faces pale.
“Li Qing, don’t go too far!” Song Zan shouted.
“Am I overdoing it?” Li Qing smiled angrily. He raised his head to look at this group of people. There were thirteen of them, and there were many of them. All of them had arrived!
“Forget it if you attack me, you actually want to murder my woman! All of you are going to die today, and I will smash your bones into ashes one by one!” Li Qing’s expression was ferocious.
Liu Ke’er was his reverse scale, and those who touched it would die!
Li Qing roared loudly and rushed forward crazily. With a punch, the Ancient Desolate Heaven Severing Fist shattered the vacuum.
“We have so many people, are we still afraid of him? Let’s go together and kill him!”
Tungus took the lead and rushed up to Li Qing. He was ten zhang tall, like a small giant. He punched out, wanting to face Li Qing head-on!
The next moment, Tungus flew backwards, continuously vomiting blood, his face revealing shock: “I can’t even receive a single punch from him? How is this possible!”
