The Heavenly Saber Novel - Chapter 974
Chapter 974 Return (2)
A large number of troops gathered in front of the Heavenly Crossing Stronghold. Emperor Hongwu was full of energy and ordered a general attack. Not long after, a heaven-shaking shout of killing sounded.
“There seems to be not even a single Dao Realm expert inside the Heavenly Crossing Stronghold. It’s just a symbolic defense. Once there are enough casualties, we should surrender very soon.” Said Elder Sword.
“The strength of the Myriad Devil Sect is still relatively well preserved. There are still a lot of Dao Realm experts, but most of them are relatively weak. Together, they are not as threatening as Li Qing.”
“It would be great if they were willing to come out and die at this time. Let’s take care of them together!” Many Righteous path elites said confidently.
“After breaking through the Heavenly Stronghold, will Great Zhou be able to help us regain the territory of the Eastern Region?”
Emperor Hong Wu nodded his head, “Of course, you all contributed a lot to the battle in Tian Yuan City. I will not forget your contributions. It can be considered a reward to help you seize back the Eastern Region, right?”
Without the help of many experts from the Eastern Region, Emperor Hong Wu alone would definitely not be able to defend the city. He simply could not wait for the Sword God to come out for such a long time.
Not to mention that the Sword God was originally Sword Sect’s grandmaster, the credit for defeating the Devil Dao lay with Sword Sect. This was equivalent to Sword Sect saving the destiny of the Great Zhou Dynasty, so Emperor Hong Wu naturally had to repay him.
Now that both sides were allies and the Myriad Devil Sect’s forces had not been completely annihilated, no matter how ambitious Emperor Hong Wu was, it was impossible for him to fall out with them at this moment.
“Even if there are no Dao Realm experts in the Heavenly Crossing Stronghold, it is still not easy to defeat them. The casualties may be relatively large. It is better for us Dao Realm experts to personally take action and quickly resolve the battle!” Emperor Hong Wu said.
“This matter is simple. All of us are ants under the Dao Realm. Without this level of power, we won’t be able to stop us for long!”
“Let’s go together!”
Many Dao Realm experts rushed into the sky and exerted their strength together, smashing into the Heavenly Stronghold. Immediately, they struck this war-torn stronghold, causing it to tremble violently.
At this moment, a strange change occurred. An incomparably majestic aura suddenly rose from within the Heavenly Crossing Stronghold. The purple and azure energy pillars soared into the sky, piercing straight into the clouds and shaking the entire world.
“What a terrifying aura! What’s going on? There’s actually a supreme expert inside the Heavenly Crossing Stronghold!” Everyone’s expressions changed drastically.
In the next moment, everyone suddenly felt their hair stand on end, as if they were being stared at by a primordial ferocious beast.
Inside the Heavenspan Stronghold, a majestic figure walked over. It was so young that it made one gasp in admiration. Its long black hair was scattered, illuminating the nine heavens like a god. Its entire body emitted an undying radiance.
“How is that possible? It’s you!” Everyone cried out.
“Saber Demon Li Qing!!”
“You’re actually still alive?”
Everyone was stunned and inexplicably shocked. They had personally witnessed Li Qing die under the Sword God. This was personally done by the Sword God, and there was absolutely no mistake!
“That fellow, the Sword God, really failed.” Li Qing chuckled. “Seven to eight thousand years ago, we fought against the Great Evil King. As a result, the Great Evil King did not die. He was resurrected not long ago.”
“Today, in this battle with me, I didn’t completely kill me, and I came back alive!”
“Tell me, why is it so difficult for a Sword God to kill someone?”
“Li Qing, show some respect. The Sword God is a supreme expert. How can you speak nonsense here, Ancestor Elder Sword?” Said Sword Sect angrily.
Emperor Hong Wu stared at Li Qing and sighed, “I know. No wonder the Great Evil King suddenly disappeared. It turns out that he died at your hands. Am I right?”
“Emperor Hongwu is indeed a smart person. He is indeed worthy of being my strongest opponent before!” Li Qing smiled.
“So that’s how it is. You were able to use the Great Evil King’s method of rebirth to revive yourself?” Emperor Hong Wu smiled bitterly. “Why can’t you die? I’m afraid that no one in this world can kill you anymore if you’re still alive.”
“Perhaps only time can completely erase me.” Li Qing revealed a lonely expression.
“Although I can’t kill you, do you really think you’re invincible? Then you’re wrong.” Emperor Hong Wu said confidently.
“Oh? Do you have any new improvements?”
Emperor Hong Wu revealed his palm and revealed a sinister smile, “The Extreme Emperor’s palm has already fallen into my hands! My strength has greatly increased, and you are no match for me!”
Back then, when Li Qing died, Righteous path had also obtained all the treasures in his body. Among them, the most important were the Polarity Emperor Palm and the Eternal Heavenly Saber!
“Extreme Emperor Palm?” Li Qing chuckled, “Even the Polarity Emperor, who is also at the Eight Tribulations of the Dao Realm, may not be my opponent. You only have a pair of palms, so how can you defeat me?”
“I am me, not the Extreme Emperor. The two are different!” Emperor Hong Wu coldly snorted, “I can surpass the Extreme Emperor, how can I not even defeat you? Today, you are certain to lose!”
Li Qing said indifferently, “Then come, let me see how much progress you have made.”
“All of you, back off for the time being. Let me fight Li Qing alone! This time, I will beat you cleanly and cleanly. I will not be dragged to the end by your rogue fighting style!” Emperor Hong Wu took a deep breath and revealed an excited expression.
Everyone hurriedly retreated, not disturbing the final battle between these two peerless experts. Since the death of the Sword God, the two strongest people in the world were Li Qing and Emperor Hong Wu.
“Actually, you’re not dead, but I want to be happy, because now I will have a chance to defeat you honestly!” Emperor Hong Wu said.
“Didn’t you just get a pair of Extreme Emperor Palms? If you didn’t get one, how could you have the confidence to say such a thing?” Li Qing laughed loudly.
“Hmph, the Extreme Emperor Palm is a complete waste in your hands. Only I can play their role! Today, you will undoubtedly lose!” Emperor Hong Wu roared angrily, “Take my move, Emperor Extreme Peerless Fist!”
Li Qing sighed lightly, “It’s this move again. There’s nothing new about it!”
After Emperor Hong Wu obtained the Extreme Emperor’s palm, the power of this Extreme Emperor Fist was indeed much stronger. It was obviously different from before. It shattered the vacuum and nothing could remain in front of this palm. Air, light, space, spiritual energy, everything in the world, be it real or illusory, was completely shattered!
“Die! I will definitely win this battle!” Emperor Hongwu’s expression was ferocious, filled with confidence that he would win.
Li Qing punched out calmly, seemingly without much power, colliding with Emperor Hongwu’s Huangji World-shattering Fist.
Kacha!
“Ah–”
Emperor Hong Wu let out a miserable scream as he flew backwards. He coughed out large mouthfuls of blood and his arm dropped down. It was obvious that he had been broken.
“How is that possible? How could I lose! That punch of yours just now clearly didn’t have much power!” Emperor Hong Wu roared angrily.
“Right now, I no longer need to pursue the power on the surface. Like the Sword God, I have reached the realm of returning to nature. Every move has great power. I don’t need to be stuck in form anymore.” Li Qing walked over step by step. “It doesn’t seem to be very powerful, but it has reached the limit of its strength!”
“Impossible! How can your strength have such a big increase!” Emperor Hong Wu found it hard to believe.
In the past, even if Emperor Hong Wu could not defeat Li Qing, he would not have lost so miserably. The two sides fought for days and nights, but in the end, they were dragged to death by Li Qing’s rogue fighting style.
But now, the situation was completely different. Emperor Hong Wu couldn’t even block Li Qing’s move, proving that the difference in strength between the two sides had reached a certain extent, which was why this situation had occurred.
Li Qing said, “What’s impossible? I’ve already passed the eighth level of heavenly tribulation. Even if the Sword God is here, I might not be afraid of him!”
“They are both Eight Tribulations of the Dao Realm. Why do you have such combat strength? Why do you have a greater improvement than others? It’s unfair!” Emperor Hong Wu gritted his teeth and said.
‘”You only saw my improvement, but you didn’t see how much suffering I suffered for it. If my heavenly tribulation falls on you, which one of you will be able to survive? Heavenly tribulation is both a tribulation and a gift. I have experienced a greater tribulation, so I deserve more! This is the law of heaven!”
“Looks like we can’t beat you today! We’ll fight in Tian Yuan City another day. Goodbye!” Emperor Hong Wu turned around and left without hesitation.
“You want to escape now? What about Emperor Hong Wu’s prestige?” Li Qing laughed loudly and immediately chased after him, sending out another punch.
“Let’s hurry and escape as well!” Many of the Righteous path’s major powers had already turned pale from fear. Li Qing’s strength was too tyrannical. Even Emperor Hong Wu had defeated him in one move. Wasn’t killing them like killing a chicken?
Emperor Hong Wu took a few more moves from Li Qing. However, he didn’t face Li Qing head-on. Instead, he used other methods to resolve it. However, he was beaten half to death by Li Qing before successfully escaping from the Heaven of Life.
Li Qing then set his sights on the others. He took a step forward and arrived in front of the Gates of Profundity. At this moment, many Righteous path major powers were preparing to use the Gates of Profundity to escape.
Li Qing punched out and shot towards the location of the Gate of Profundity. If he hit it, although it might not be able to shatter it, it would still be able to shake the people inside out.
Everyone saw that the situation was not good. Everyone worked together to resist Li Qing’s attack. All sorts of unique techniques bombarded out and violently collided with Li Qing’s fist.
At this moment, there were more than twenty major powers in Righteous path. With so many people working together, the power was undoubtedly extremely terrifying. However, in front of Li Qing’s fist, all of this seemed to have lost its effect and was directly pierced through by his punch.
‘”Ah–” Elder Sword let out a miserable scream and was struck by Li Qing’s fist. His entire body exploded into a ball of blood mist and he died.
“Run!”
Everyone coughed out a mouthful of old blood. Their faces were filled with horror, and a sense of powerlessness arose in their hearts. It was truly too powerful, so powerful that they were unable to contend against it!
Fortunately, the Gates of Wonders had already begun to activate, disappearing into the vast void, and it was impossible for them to catch up.
Li Qing had lost the Ascension Heavenly Palace and didn’t have the means to teleport through the void. Even if he barely took out one, it was only an ordinary void-type treasure. It was impossible for him to catch up to the Gates of Profundity.
Many of Diabolism’s major powers flew out and were also shocked by Li Qing’s tyrannical combat strength. Originally, they knew that Li Qing was very strong, but they didn’t know how powerful he was.
Now that he saw that even Emperor Hong Wu had been defeated by Li Qing in one move, there was no doubt that Li Qing was already invincible under the heavens.
“Demon Lord’s might! Demon Lord’s might!”
“After this battle, Righteous path must have been scared out of his wits, right? No one has the courage to face Devil Master Lord head-on!” Everyone said excitedly.
“What should we do next?”
Li Qing looked into the distance and said indifferently, “Point straight at Tian Yuan City!”
