I use my daughter's body to cut down the rivers and lakes

Chapter 12
  "Good knife!"

Liu Qi couldn't help but exclaimed!
  In the long and narrow iron box, there lay a sword that was just over three feet tall, exuding a cold aura.

The moment Liu Qi opened the iron box, the dark blade came into contact with the light, and a strange purple flashed from the blade.

Liu Qi couldn't help but stretched out her hand.

As soon as the white fingers touched the blade, a huge suction force came instantly.

Liu Qi's eyes darkened and she quickly retracted her hand as if she was electrocuted.

In just that moment, 10% of his internal energy was sucked away!
  The sword that had sucked away Liu Qi's inner energy also moved strangely. The originally pitch-black blade gradually faded visibly to the naked eye, and the strange and alluring purple color from the handle gradually colored the blade.

But this process did not last long, perhaps because the internal energy that had just been absorbed was already exhausted.

The purple color on the blade quickly faded, and then the blade turned into pitch black again!
  A knife that can absorb internal energy!

Liu Qi immediately confirmed that this sword was absolutely extraordinary.

It can even be said that it is not the right thing!
  However... Liu Qi's eyes flashed with determination, and she immediately reached out and grasped the handle of the knife in the iron box.

hum...

Along with the low humming, Liu Qi could feel his internal energy pouring into the blade through his right hand.

Cang——

Liu Qi no longer hesitated, raised her hand and pulled the knife out of the iron box.

call out!
  call out!
  In Liu Qi's surprised gaze, two faintly formed sword energy burst out from the blade.

A sword energy passed through the wooden table in the center of the lobby and hit the wall, leaving a deep knife mark.

Another sword energy swept across the ground. With a "clang" sound, gravel flew everywhere, and a whole block of marble was split into two halves by the sword energy.

Liu Qi put away his surprise for a moment, and then quickly put the sword in his hand back into the iron box.

boom!
  As the iron box was covered by Liu Qi forcefully.

Her eyes were full of determination.

She wants this sword!

……

It's not that easy to get the sword smoothly.

A knife is no better than a magical medicine.

The elixir can be eaten directly into the stomach to destroy the corpse and eliminate traces.

The knife is too conspicuous!

Moreover, this was obtained from Chen Wu's goods.

Liu Qi thought for a while and simply burned the house with the corpses and belongings inside.

Seeing the raging fire engulfing the lobby in an instant, Liu Qi jumped over the courtyard wall holding the iron box and disappeared at the entrance of the alley.

"on fire!"

"on fire!"

……

As soon as Liu Qi walked out of the alley, he heard a burst of gongs and drums, and then waves of people poured into the alley.

Liu Qi, who quietly erased the mark on the alley entrance wall, merged directly into the crowd.

She touched the iron box hidden in her sleeve, looked around, and finally chose a direction.

Liu Qi walked through the crowd and came to a big tree where two people hugged each other. The big tree was surrounded by some simple houses.

Liu Qi didn't know what kind of tree it was. He looked up and saw that the top of the tree was about four meters high.

Seeing no one around, Liu Qi flew up.

The iron box containing the sword came out of his sleeve, and Liu Qi fell on the end of the iron box with his palm.

With a muffled sound, the iron box penetrated directly into the trunk of the tree.

Liu Qi gathered together the scattered wood chips and covered the end of the iron box.

"You can rest here for a while." Liu Qi whispered, "But don't worry, I won't let you be in the dust for too long!"

After saying that, Liu Qi jumped down from the tree, dusted the sawdust on her clothes, and left.

……

After such a long delay, when Liu Qi returned to the east gate, the sky had completely darkened.

Liu Qi turned to look at the red light reflected in the sky in the distance, thinking that given the level of fire protection here, the fire must not be extinguished so quickly.

She remembered the mark on the wall when she entered the city today.

"Is nothing going to happen to Chen Wu and the others?" Liu Qi couldn't help but murmured as she looked towards the north of the city.

She knew that Zhou Jizu and the newly arrived Li County Lieutenant from Donghe County had jointly set up a trap, hoping to use Chen Wu in exchange for a future.

But... Chen Wu is surrounded by Liu Er, Liu San, Liu Wu and Liu Eleven.　　　　Added Liu Shijiu.

If the martial arts of Zhou Jizu and Lieutenant Li were only the same as those of the dead Zhou Donghe.

Liu Qi was not worried about Chen Wu and the others at all.

Chen Wu has been cooperating with Zhou Jizu for so long, and he has already figured out his martial arts skills.

The only variable is the newly appointed Lieutenant Li County.

It is said that he comes from a famous family.

I don't know what his martial arts skills are.

……

It was already dark now, and the vendors on the street had already closed their stalls. Liu Qi tried her best to walk under the dimly lit roofs, heading towards the north of the city.

"Thum, thump, thump..."

Suddenly a burst of uniform footsteps came into my ears.

Liu Qi frowned and then quietly disappeared into a dark alley.

As the fire gradually started to burn on the street, a group of officers and soldiers walked past in neat steps.

When the street returned to the night fog again, Liu Qi emerged from the dark alley.

Looking at the direction in which the officers and soldiers were leaving, Liu Qi heard the sound of rapid horse hooves coming from the distance before she could think too much.

"Quick, chase!"

"The county captain has an order, don't let anyone escape!"

……

"Da, da, da..." The crisp sound of horse hooves is getting closer and closer.

The noisy human voices also reached Liu Qi's ears.

A faint red light once again dispersed the thick black fog on the street.

Liu Qi wanted to hide in the alley again, but when he took one last look before turning around, he found a familiar figure moving up and down on the roof in the distance.

Liu Shijiu!
  Liu Qi squinted her eyes and saw that the figure was Liu Shijiu.

And right behind Liu Shijiu, the sky-covering fire and noisy voices followed closely behind.

The person being chased is Liu Shijiu!

Liu Jiu staggered slightly while walking on the roof, obviously injured.

Whoosh!Whoosh!Whoosh!
  The sharp sound of breaking through the air resounded across the sky.

Liu Qi's pupils narrowed upon hearing the sound.

The opponent actually has a strong bow!
  The crossbows of the officers and soldiers are quite deadly to people in the martial arts who are not at the first-class level.

Even a top-notch master can only choose to stay away when facing an army with many crossbowmen.

And if they are surrounded by well-equipped officers and soldiers on the open ground, even top experts will have a narrow escape.

No matter how high your martial arts is, you are still just a mortal.

And the true energy will always be exhausted.

……

Liu Qi hesitated for a moment, and finally walked out of the alley.

Taking advantage of the cover of the shadows under the eaves, Liu Qi quickly approached Liu Jiu's direction.

Whoosh!Whoosh!
  Two more sounds broke through the air.

"Da, da, da..." The sound of horse hooves was already close at hand.

Liu Qi could even see the dignified expressions of the officers and soldiers on horseback, bows and strings strung.

She stood still, and with her peripheral vision, she saw the bamboo tube left by a roadside vendor.

call out!call out!
  Two sharp sounds broke through the air.

With two screams, the two officers and soldiers on horseback were thrown away.

Not far away from Liu Qi, who was hiding in the shadow of the eaves, the panicked officers and soldiers exerted slight force on their hands. With a crisp "click" sound, the bamboo tube in their hands instantly fell into pieces.

Liu Qi swung his hand, and the broken bamboo pieces struck the officers and soldiers like sharp blades with the sound of breaking wind.

"puff"

"what--"

The sound of bamboo slices piercing into the flesh and the screams were endless.

Liu Qi turned around and saw Liu Jiu's figure had gone away, and then quietly disappeared into the darkness.
