The Heavenly Saber Novel - Chapter 645
Chapter 645 Number One Under Heaven (8)
Fang Zhi Rou was grabbed by Li Qing’s hands, but she did not give in easily. Instead, she struggled continuously and kicked Li Qing’s egg with her cloudy leg.
“You crazy woman! You even used this move!” Li Qing was furious and immediately stretched out his foot to block it.
Fang Zhi Rou raised her head to the sky and shouted loudly. Lightning bloomed in her eyes, incomparably resplendent. A terrifying energy fluctuation emitted from her slender body.
Li Qing felt that he could no longer suppress this body and almost threw him away. He had to use all of his strength to firmly seal Fang Zhi Rou’s hands, and at the same time, his feet had to resist her sneak attack.
Under this posture, Fang Zhi Rou leaned forward, her arms rearward, instead revealing the curves of her body. Her pectoral muscles were even more robust and plump.
“Hurry up and let go of me!” She was embarrassed and angry, and the lightning on her body couldn’t help but weaken a little.
Li Qing took advantage of this opportunity to throw a palm at her back and threw the Thunder Emperor’s Eye out of her body. He stretched out a hand and grabbed it, saying, “The Thunder Emperor’s Eyes are all in my hands. Aren’t you going to admit defeat?”
The Thunder Emperor’s Eye in his hand furiously activated the power of thunder, causing Li Qing’s entire body to go numb from the lightning, and he almost threw it out.
“Hurry up and admit defeat, or I’ll beat you to death!” Li Qing said angrily.
“Alright, alright, admit defeat. Why are you so fierce?” Fang Zhi Rou suddenly withdrew her violent expression and turned into an obedient appearance, causing Li Qing to look dumbfounded.
“What are you looking at? Be careful, I’ll dig out your eyeballs!” At this moment, she became fierce again.
This appearance relieved Li Qing. This was the normal Fang Zhi Rou, so he threw the Thunder Emperor’s Eye back to her.
“Perhaps after this, I won’t have the chance to defeat you again. The Thunder Emperor’s Eye was borrowed from the sect. I wonder if I’ll have the chance to use it in the future.” Fang Zhi Rou said somewhat dejectedly.
“Experts don’t rely on Dao Artifacts. Look at my strength, I don’t use Dao Artifacts. You are the unparalleled Heavenly Thunder Body. Your future accomplishments will definitely not be low, so why underestimate yourself?” Li Qing comforted.
“Alright, that’s it.” Fang Zhi Rou smiled and disappeared from the arena.
One day later, Li Qing finally met Tungus in the eighth round.
When enemies met, their eyes were red with envy. As soon as Li Qing entered the arena, he erupted with his strongest combat strength and ferociously attacked Tungus.
“Tungus, don’t admit defeat. Men from the Northern Region shouldn’t be cowards, right?” Li Qing was afraid that Tungus would admit defeat and leave. This way, he wouldn’t be able to teach him a lesson.
“Don’t underestimate me! I’m not easy to provoke, Blood Rage!” Tungus was fooled and used his trump card to face Li Qing head-on.
Seeing this scene, Li Qing was not in a hurry to defeat the other party. He secretly retracted a bit of his strength, continuously causing damage to Tungus without making him admit defeat.
This was the case with the so-called warm-water boiled frogs.
In the end, Tungus’ body was riddled with wounds, and he completely lost his fighting strength. Only then did he disappear from the arena.
“With such heavy injuries, it should be very difficult for us to play in the next round. If we are unlucky, we might not be able to advance to the next round.” Li Qing revealed a cunning smile.
However, the Towering Heaven Sect had many treasures. Perhaps they had a way to recover quickly, so it was hard to say.
After this match, the people behind no longer posed much of a threat. Li Qing easily passed this round and rushed forward with his head held high in total victory.
After the match, the results of the top 32 were announced. Fang Zhi Rou and Ye Lin had both successfully advanced.
Tungus was also on the list. It seemed that he had used some unknown method to recover from his injuries.
However, this wasn’t a big deal. If we met him in the next match, we might be able to teach him a lesson.
Another month passed.
The next round of the competition was a one-on-one arena. The winner was eliminated and the winner advanced to the next round.
Such a competition was no longer allowed to admit defeat. Everyone will go all out. This is the real challenge.
Every single person who could advance to the top 32 was an extremely powerful existence, and every single one of them was the strongest disciple of the various great powers, possessing many trump cards.
In the square of Mount Ying Tian in Great Zhou, these 32 people gathered together and quietly waited for the next round to open.
Everyone in the outside world was watching everything here. The 32 martial artists in the plaza could be considered to be the pinnacle of all Xiantian martial artists in the world, enjoying extreme glory.
A figure flew out from the sky and said to the people below, “You are all outstanding geniuses. No matter who wins or loses, you can already become famous throughout the world.”
“The outcome is not absolute. Even if you lose in the upcoming competition, as long as you perform well, you will still be appreciated by Emperor Zhou Majesty.”
“Therefore, all you need to do is display your best.”
“After today, regardless of whether you win or lose, as long as you are willing to stay in the Great Zhou Dynasty, you will be able to obtain the title of Marquis!”
Even though everyone had heard of this matter long ago, there was still an uproar when they heard this.
Within the Great Zhou Dynasty, the existence of a Marquis was definitely a formidable figure. The number of Marquis was extremely rare, and not everyone could reach such a status.
Normally, only Void Realm experts would be able to obtain the title of Marquis after they had made tremendous contributions.
This was also the method used by the Great Zhou Dynasty to rope in the hearts of the people. It was through this method that countless powers in the world were united, continuously supplying new blood.
One had to know that whoever was able to reach the top 32 would definitely have a powerful force behind them. If he was willing to stay in the Great Zhou Dynasty, wouldn’t it be related to the forces behind it?
“Alright, cut the gossip. The competition in the top 32 is about to begin. Here is the list of your opponents.”
A list of sixteen pairs appeared in the sky. Everyone raised their heads and looked for their names.
Li Qing quickly saw his position and was surprisingly ranked first. His opponent’s name was Kong Wenfeng.
“So it’s someone from the Ji Xia College of the Great Zhou Dynasty!” Li Qing revealed an interested expression.
The origins of Ji Xia College were not simple. In the Middle Ages, there were all sorts of saints, creating a brilliant and resplendent civilization. All sorts of schools competed to appear.
Among them was a sage named Lao Qiu, known as the Confucian Sage, who founded the Dao Inheritance called the Ji Xia College.
The martial power of the Ji Xia College was not very tyrannical, but in terms of ruling by culture, it was unique in the world, and had always been the mainstream thought in the Central Region.
As a Confucian scholar, Kong Wenfeng’s participation in the Martial Arts Convention was definitely an extraordinary achievement to be able to reach this level.
Actually, Kong Wenfeng’s reputation had never been prominent, and he did not display any formidable methods. However, it was truly surprising that he was able to quietly reach the top 32.
This was a very low-key person. He should have quite a few trump cards in his hands, which could be said to be unfathomable.
Li Qing would not underestimate this person. After all, those who could reach the top 32 were definitely extraordinary people.
It was not convenient to reveal his trump card in the previous match, but at this stage, there were not so many ways to retreat. In a battle, victory or defeat would be decided, and it was impossible for him not to come out.
Under the attention of the crowd, the two of them quickly entered the arena.
Kong Wenfeng looked gentle and elegant, and his white Confucian robe made him extremely elegant. After seeing Li Qing, he did not feel much fear. His expression was as usual, with a faint smile on his face.
“Leisure is natural, spoiling is not shocking. The cultivation methods of Confucianism are really formidable.” Li Qing praised.
“Brother Li, you are truly flattering me. I believe that I am absolutely no match for you. Facing such a situation where you are bound to lose, of course, I don’t have any psychological burden.” Kong Wenfeng smiled.
“Then let’s start now.” Li Qing said.
“Brother Li, please give me some advice!” Kong Wenfeng took out a pen with his right hand and an inkstone with his left hand. He dipped the ink into the ink and sliced through the void, instantly writing five words.
Swords, knives, spears, axes, sticks!
As soon as these five words appeared, countless Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth surged out from the surroundings, gathering together and condensing into five weapons!
It was easy to write five words and condense five weapons. This kind of method made Li Qing a little stunned.
Without letting him think too much, these five weapons were already attacking Li Qing.
Li Qing casually struck out with his palm and held the five weapons in his palm, quickly crushing them into pieces. However, the attacks of these weapons caused Li Qing’s palms to ache slightly. It was obvious that the power of these weapons could not be underestimated and was enough to cause harm to him.
“What a miraculous method! Confucianism is really not simple! Why did the words you wrote have such an effect?”
“Confucian sect disciples have an extraordinary understanding of characters when they read the Sage Books. They can use the power of characters to arouse the resonance of the Grand Dao and condense the corresponding things. My ancestors of Confucianism were even able to follow their words. I am only a beginner.”
Li Qing nodded and said, “Every word is the same, but different people write it differently. Ordinary people have no power to write, but the words written by a great sage like you are extraordinary. It’s not that the words are special, it’s that the people are special!”
From this, he suddenly remembered a peerless technique he had learned before, the “True Ancient God Text” left behind by the ancient gods.
This Ancient God’s True Text was the opposite. What mattered was words, not people. As long as you can condense these words, you will be able to display tremendous power.
Unfortunately, Li Qing had only comprehended a few runes after a long time.
These runes contained extremely complex things. On the surface, they were just words, but in reality, they were not.
Every word was all-encompassing!
This was why Li Qing had to work so hard to comprehend. This unique technique was often useless. Occasionally, he would use it to refine talismans. It was a bit buried.
“I don’t know if I can combine the divine abilities of Ancient God and Confucianism. Perhaps I can make a breakthrough.”
However, now was not the time to study. Just as he was thinking, Kong Wenfeng launched another attack.
He used the brush in his hand to soak the ink and write in the void. Very quickly, he formed musical instruments and floated in the air.
Zhong, Qin, Se, Guan, Sheng, Xiao, Pipa and other musical instruments, together play gorgeous music.
Within the mist, there were faintly birds, beasts, dragons, and phoenixes dancing in the form of white clouds.
Kong Wenfeng sat upright on the ground, singing the ancient lyrics and dancing with the music into a furnace.
Poetry, music, and dance are three in one, forming a vast music and dance together, as if they are undergoing a sacred ceremony.
Li Qing immediately felt a wave of imposing righteousness assaulting his body and soul, as if he wanted to wash his body and purify his soul.
Most importantly, there seemed to be a faint feeling of breaking through his dao heart!
If the Dao Heart was broken, then the path of martial arts would basically stagnate! This was definitely a fatal attack!
“What a good sacred art of a Confucian sect. Sure enough, there is something unique about it.” Li Qing’s heart trembled.
If it was an ordinary move, Li Qing could be said to be invincible in a face-to-face battle. However, facing such a novel fighting style, he was caught off guard for a moment.
In particular, the True Devil Gong that he cultivated coincided with this Confucian sect, so the damage he suffered was even greater.
Of course, the difference in strength between the two sides was still too great. Even if their styles were opposed, it would still be difficult to turn the world around.
“Since that’s the case, then I’ll use one force to break through all methods!” Li Qing punched out with his left hand.
Imperial Extreme Peerless Fist!
The invincible fist intent instantly emptied everything. Whether it was real or illusory, they were all wiped out in front of this extreme power.
All the instruments condensed from words were shattered!
Of course, the Emperor’s Extreme Peerless Fist Li Qing used was only incomplete. Of course, he didn’t dare to use it in its entirety.
Of course, the reason he did this was to show Emperor Zhou Majesty.
At the very least, after comprehending the incomplete Emperor Extreme Peerless Fist, he had some sort of connection with Emperor Zhou Majesty. Perhaps he would even receive protection from the Emperor Extreme Peerless Fist.
When other powers attacked him, they would naturally consider this point.
Sure enough, everyone in the Great Zhou Imperial Palace’s main hall was stunned when they saw Li Qing’s fist technique.
“If I’m not mistaken, what Li Qing is using is a bit like the Emperor’s Extreme Peerless Fist!” Someone said.
Emperor Zhou Majesty’s eyes were incomparably deep. He nodded and said, “Indeed, it is the Emperor’s Extreme Peerless Fist. It already has a complete version of 30% fist intent. Amazing young man.”
“But where did he learn this Emperor Extreme Peerless Fist?”
The Marquis of Golden Lion walked out and said, “Reporting to Majesty, I know that Li Qing’s Emperor’s Extreme Peerless Fist was comprehended from the Tablet of Meritorious Officials of our Zhendong Palace.”
“Doesn’t that mean another Wei Long City?” Everyone’s expressions changed.
“Let’s discuss this matter after the Martial Arts Convention ends.” Said Emperor Zhou Majesty.
The battle between Li Qing and Kong Wenfeng continued.
Kong Wenfeng clasped his palms together, and his aura was completely different. Spiritual Qi kept surging, forming a faint shadow in front of him.
This phantom had a tall crown and a square face. It was over ten zhang tall, and a powerful power concept was emitted from it.
This was the phantom of the sages of the past, and at the same time, it merged the spirit and faith of thousands of scholars in the world. Countless wills were added to it, as if it was a totem.
To fight against them was to make enemies with all the scholars in the world, and to fight against the spirit and faith of thousands of scholars!
With one person’s strength, how could he fight against the people of the world?
Potential, irresistible, irrevocable!
At this moment, the spiritual will of thousands of Confucian scholars, ancient and modern sages, seemed to merge with Kong Wenfeng, adding to his body, forming a general trend.
Li Qing smiled and said, “With your strength, how can you carry the spirit and convictions of thousands of scholars in the world? Furthermore, the grand wishes and convictions these scholars emanate are for the sake of the world, not to fight against me privately here! Even if you invite out the phantom of your ancestors, how powerful can it be?”
“I am not carrying thousands of wills, but I am fusing with them. If you want to resist, you are going against the trend and will definitely fail.” As Kong Wenfeng spoke, the shadow behind him became stronger and more solid. It crossed the void and suppressed Li Qing’s head.
“Using this opportunity to do it, a good divine ability! But unfortunately, even if it’s a thousand wills, I still have to completely suppress it!” Li Qing punched out, blocking the phantom of the ancestor above his head.
For a moment, there was a faint stalemate.
“The world has misjudged your strength. I’m afraid you’re comparable to the Void Realm.” Li Qing said without changing his expression.
“I don’t know the exact combat strength, because I’ve never fought against the Void Realm before. If Brother Li can’t hold on, then immediately admit defeat. I don’t want to hurt you.” Kong Wenfeng said calmly.
“The power that doesn’t belong to you is still a mirror image. Although this sage phantom looks vast and unfathomable, it is actually just an empty shelf.”
“What kind of spirit, what kind of will, these things are too weak! I only believe in my own strength! The strength I borrowed is all fake!”
Li Qing shouted loudly. His entire body was dazzling with purple light as he once again struck out with the Emperor’s Extreme Opening Heavenly Palm!
The Heaven Splitting Palm and the World-shattering Fist combined together was the limit of his strength. Even if he deliberately used the incomplete ones, they still had extremely terrifying effects.
Its power is limitless, and it instantly empties everything. Whether it is real or illusory, I will break through all methods by myself!
Kong Wenfeng’s entire body trembled, and the ancient saint phantom instantly shattered and disappeared.
“Brother Li is indeed extraordinary. He is actually able to break through the phantom of my ancestors. I still have a divine ability. Please experience it.”
Kong Wenfeng took a deep breath and took out a brush to write in the void.
Each word was ten zhang in radius, and the enormous words floated in the air, giving people an extremely shocking feeling.
These words were constantly arranged in the air, as if they were arranged into an incomparably complex giant formation, but they also seemed to turn into a brilliant moral essay.
In the process of forming this article, there were faint sounds of gorgeous music, the harmony of phoenix birds, the gurgling of spring water, and the crisp sound of pine.
“This is a chapter written by Kong Sheng. It is called ‘Spring and Autumn’! Brother Li, please give me some advice!” After Kong Wenfeng finished writing, a trace of arrogance could not help but appear on his face.
At this moment, the Wen Hua Qi in his body was emitted, but it was sprinkling in all directions, like an abyss like a sea.
As soon as the Spring and Autumn Period came out, a vast amount of essence energy spread out, covering the sun and moon with brilliance. It was powerful but not cold. It was not aggressive or threatening at all, but it made everyone who saw it involuntarily want to listen.
Anyone who came into contact with this Wen Hua Qi could comprehend the principles of sages from it, and all people, be they wise or foolish, could be educated.
Wen Qi overflowed in all directions, and his spirit merged into words, and his words were full of wisdom.
It was as if countless figures had flashed, all of them scholars of the Qianqiu dynasties. Everyone read this sage’s article together.
