The Heavenly Saber Novel - Chapter 962
Chapter 962 Wind and Cloud Rising Again (4)
The people of the entire Holy City gathered all their strength and the will of hundreds of millions of living beings to form an insurmountable defense. Perhaps it really had a remarkable effect and successfully blocked Zhenshan River’s move.
After a period of stalemate, the two sides finally ended in Zhenshan River’s defeat. The saber shadow that penetrated the heavens and earth disappeared between heaven and earth.
“It’s blocked!” Everyone cheered, their faces filled with joy.
“Haha, Myriad Devil Li Qing, that’s all!” Someone laughed loudly.
“Unity is strength. The ancients did not deceive me!” They felt a multiplier of confidence.
Li Qing stood in the sky and looked at the Holy City below. He opened his mouth and sucked in all the spiritual energy in the world. He extracted a large amount of spiritual energy from the void, allowing his condition to return to perfection.
“So what if you block my saber? Take my second saber now!” Li Qing smiled faintly. He held Eternal Heavenly Saber high and used Zhenshan River again. He turned into a saber shadow that pierced through the heavens and the earth.
“Not good, Li Qing still hasn’t given up. Another saber!” Everyone was shocked.
“Everyone, take your positions. Exert your strength! Just follow the same path as before. Don’t panic!” Someone’s giving the order.
“We can stop you the first time, but we can stop you the second time! Li Qing, don’t waste your energy!” Someone roared.
Zhenshan River descended, as if the heavens had collapsed, covering the entire world and ruthlessly hacking down on the defense of the Holy City.
Another violent rumble rang out. The heavens and earth seemed to have transformed into a chaos. It was already covered by endless light, and it slowly dissipated after a long time.
This time, the Holy City still blocked Li Qing’s saber!
However, before their cheers could be heard, an enormous and boundless pressure came from the sky once again. Another saber shadow descended from the sky and the earth.
“How is that possible! Another move! Why is his strength so abundant?” Everyone cried out.
“Not good, if Li Qing can really play a dozen Zhenshan River, then how can we withstand it?”
“Li Qing clearly wants to use this method to consume us to death! How should we deal with it?”
“There’s nothing we can do. This is absolute strength. All we can do is to be beaten passively!” A look of despair appeared on their faces.
Rumble!
Above his head, the fourth Zhenshan River descended. It could already cause some damage to the Holy City. Everyone inside coughed up blood and was injured by the might of Zhenshan River.
“Hold on! We’ll definitely be able to hold on! I don’t believe that Li Qing can continuously use this move!” Everyone gritted their teeth and took advantage of this gap to fully recover their injuries and true essence.
“The power of this move is so strong that even a Dao Realm expert shouldn’t be able to release a few. I want to see if we can’t hold on first or if he can’t!”
Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!
The sound of explosions could be heard endlessly. The fifth, sixth … Li Qing chopped down ten Zhenshan River in a row. Finally, he felt a little tired and could not recover with the Sky Profound Technique.
Below, the Holy City was on the verge of being reduced to ruins, with countless casualties. They were all killed by Zhenshan River.
As more and more people died, the defenses in the Holy City gradually weakened. With the increase of this and that, it would be even more difficult to resist Li Qing’s Zhenshan River.
They did not expect that Li Qing would actually be able to hit ten Zhenshan River, causing their scalps to numb, their entire bodies to tremble, and they were filled with fear.
‘”Our strength alone is indeed not enough to resist the attack of the Myriad Devil Sect! Li Qing’s strength is too tyrannical. He forcefully broke through the defense of the Holy City with the strength of one man and one saber!” Elder Sword sat in the city and sighed helplessly.
“It’s time to prepare for retreat. Judging from the situation, there’s a high chance that we will fail! Where are we going next?” Someone asked.
“Pay attention to your wording. We are not fleeing, but retreating strategically!” Sect Master Qiankun’s expression was serious.
“Alright, where do we retreat to next?”
“Of the Four Great Sacred Grounds in the Eastern Region, only the Cosmos Sect and the Sword Sect are left. If you want to retreat, you can only choose one of these two?”
“Even the Holy City can’t stop Li Qing. Do you think the Cosmos Sect and the Sword Sect can? Are you kidding me?”
“That’s not necessarily the case. The Sword God personally came down from the Sword Sect back then. Perhaps he can use this to kill Li Qing!”
“Li Qing isn’t that stupid. He would personally break into a formation set up by the Sword God. Isn’t that courting death?”
‘”Then you’re wrong. Li Qing’s current strength may not be able to defeat the Sword God himself, but he might really be afraid of the formation that the Sword God set up back then! If we were to use a provocative method, then Li Qing might fall for it!”
“That makes sense. The Sword Sect can consider it. Is there any other way?”
“What else can we do? If even the Sword Sect falls, we can only go to the Great Zhou Dynasty.”
“Alas, that’s the only way. We should retreat to the Sword God Mountain strategically first. If we still can’t do it, then we’ll take refuge in the Great Zhou Dynasty!”
The two strongest domains in the world were the Central Domain and the Eastern Domain. If even the Eastern Region had failed, then only the Central Region was left with a path to take.
Li Qing looked down at the dilapidated Holy City. Although there was still a certain amount of defensive power, it had already shattered a lot. There were holes everywhere.
He released the Ascension Heavenly Palace, and the respected Dao Realm experts inside walked out one after another. Seeing the tragic appearance of the Sacred City, they immediately said, “The Demon Lord’s divine might is unparalleled in the world. No one in the world can defeat him! Even the Sacred City has been destroyed, and the Eastern Region is basically doomed to failure.”
“Go, give the order and launch a general attack! Strive to occupy the Holy City as soon as possible and break the rule of the Heavenly Alliance in the Eastern Region!” Li Qing said.
Although the Holy City had been destroyed, the strength of the defenders inside was still very strong, and it was not easy to occupy it. The army of the Myriad Devil Sect continuously attacked, rushing into the Holy City from the shattered gaps and starting a fierce hand-to-hand battle.
At the same time, Li Qing took out the Yin Yang Chaos Bottle and released the Blood God Weapon inside. These Blood Divine Weapons smelled boundless blood energy and immediately rushed towards the Holy City like a ferocious tiger, causing a bloody storm.
“What the hell are these?” The great figures of the Myriad Devil Sect had astonished expressions on their faces. They obviously did not know about this matter.
“Blood Divine Army!”
“What? It’s actually this kind of thing? I’ve heard of the Northern Radiance Ruins as well. I didn’t expect that they would be subdued by the Sect Master quietly!”
With Blood Divine Army’s entry, the situation instantly became one-sided. After absorbing a sufficient amount of blood, their strength grew stronger and stronger. As they shuttled through the crowd, they would have to reap a portion of their life force every time they attacked.
“What a powerful force! What a strange way of attacking! The name of Blood Divine Army is indeed worthy of its reputation!”
“The Holy City is really going to lose this time. Aren’t the Dao Realm experts going to take action? Are they going to run away, or are they going to die together with the Holy City?” Devil Saint You Luo said.
“They only have a dozen or so Dao Realm experts in the entire Eastern Region. They don’t even have a single Dao Realm Seven Tribulations expert. What are they going to use to fight us?”
At this moment, a wave of spatial ripples came from within the Holy City. The Void Gate opened, and the remaining forces of the Heavenly Alliance entered the gate one after another, disappearing without a trace.
“Not good, they want to use the Gates of Wonders to escape!”
Li Qing’s gaze narrowed as he controlled the Ascension Heavenly Palace, hiding in the void, and chased after the Gates of Profundity.
“Li Qing, don’t go too far. We’ve already abandoned the Holy City, and you’re still chasing after it!” Sect Master Qiankun said angrily.
“The Holy City can be occupied at any time, but it will be difficult to capture you.” Li Qing stood in front of the Ascension Heavenly Palace and said coldly.
“Haha, are all the people in Heavenly Alliance brave? They haven’t fought with us yet. They’re like stray dogs that have escaped unscathed.” The people on Diabolism’s side laughed loudly.
The Heavenly Alliance experts immediately felt their faces turn ashen. If they lost, they would lose. If they wanted to retort, they would be powerless. They could only keep silent and escape with all their might.
The Ascension Heavenly Palace’s power in the Void Dao was clearly stronger. Soon, it caught up to the Doors of Wonders and suppressed them with unparalleled might.
However, the Doors of Wonders were not only useful in terms of the Void Dao, but also possessed myriad changes and mysteries. Facing the suppression of the Ascension Heavenly Palace, the Gates of Profundity instantly turned into an illusion, as if they had entered a dimensional space and dodged this attack.
Li Qing took out the Eternal Heavenly Saber, his gaze as calm as water, as if a river of time had flowed by.
The Eternal Heavenly Saber shone with a unique radiance, scattering all over the world. It was as long as eternity, and as fleeting as an instant. Eternity and an instant, the two extremes of time perfectly fused together, breaking through layers of void barriers and landing on the gates of all wonders.
When the Doors of Profundity received this attack, the mysterious light on the door instantly became hazy and chaotic, as if only dim gray-white was left.
As if he had lost his mysterious magic power, the Doors of Profundity appeared from the void and were locked in the void.
The Sword Old Man immediately woke up, but the strength in his body also became extremely slow. It was as if he had fallen into a quagmire, and even his thoughts had fallen into a brief pause.
He knew that this was a moment of life and death, so he didn’t dare to hold back any longer. He took out a sword talisman and threw it into the sky. He roared, “Shatter it!”
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Within the sword talisman, endless sword radiance burst forth, containing the sharpest edge in the world. It could cut through everything, forming a boundless storm of sword blades, causing the heavens and earth to be turned upside down.
In an instant, the power of eternity was cut apart like a canvas in the face of the endless storm of rays of light. The still images were shattered and transformed back into a dynamic world.
“What a terrifying move! If it weren’t for Old Man Sword’s timely display of trump cards, I’m afraid we would have all been told to stay here today!”
Li Qing looked at the endless sword light. It was so dazzling and bright that he was faintly shocked. He knew that the origin of this sword talisman must have been left behind by the Sword God himself.
However, this move of Li Qing’s was instantly eternal. Ordinary trump cards could not be broken. Presumably, there weren’t many methods like the Sword Talisman within the Sword Sect.
The sects resumed their operations and hid themselves in the void again, wanting to escape.
Li Qing’s expression was calm. He held the Eternal Heavenly Saber in his hand and sent it forward. It was as if he had crossed an endless spatial distance and landed directly above the Gates of Profundity.
“Not good, it’s the Heaven Breaking Sky! Everyone, attack together to block it. Otherwise, I, the Gates of Wonders, won’t be able to block it!” Immortal Sovereigns were instantly shocked.
“Cosmos Strike!”
“One sword breaks through all methods!”
“Chaos Divine Light!”
“Void Realm Barrier!”
Many Dao Realm experts attacked one after another, striking towards the Eternal Heavenly Saber above their heads. All sorts of supreme techniques bombarded them, causing them to violently collide with each other.
Rumble!
A terrifying energy storm spread through the void, engulfing all directions. It caused intense turbulence in the void, causing waves of void cracks to spread out and shatter into the surroundings.
Inside the Gate of Profundity, many Dao Realm experts felt an unparalleled impact. Everyone was sent flying backwards, spitting out mouthfuls of blood.
“Run! Even if we work together, we can’t defeat Li Qing!” The Sword Old Man howled angrily, his expression ferocious.
A resplendent light erupted from the Gates of Profundity, and with a whoosh, it flew ten thousand kilometers away, disappearing into the endless depths of the void.
Because of their battle just now, the Void Storm blocked the way and spread towards the surroundings. The Ascension Heavenly Palace couldn’t catch up with them, so they could only let them leave.
“It’s just inconvenient to fight in this void! We can only watch helplessly and have no way to help the Sect Master!” The Second Hall Master said.
“It doesn’t matter. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future.” Li Qing said indifferently.
