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

Chapter 23 The old man sharpening his knife
  Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...

Liu Qi's figure shuttled between the lush ancient trees, and three black figures running wildly were reflected in his bright pupils.

Swish!
  The sword energy swept across, and the big tree that was hugged by one person was broken in the middle.

boom!
  The muffled sound of falling trees was mixed with a heart-rending scream.

Liu Qi's cold eyes swept over half of the body of the man in black who was still struggling on the ground, and chased the remaining two people without looking back.

"Run away!" This was the only thought in the minds of the two men in black who were running wildly.

The woman behind him was like a god of death possessing her. Not only did she kill their leader in an instant, but she almost destroyed them and sent their companions down to reunite with the leader.

In the end, the instinct of survival defeated everything, and the only three men in black chose to flee.

Swah——

The soul-shattering sound of the sword light came from behind again. The man in black who was running at the front felt a chill in his heart, and then heard a "chi" sound coming from his side.

The footsteps of my companions disappeared!
  Without any time to rejoice that he had escaped, the man in black gritted his teeth and continued to flee forward, when a familiar figure appeared at the end of his sight.

"It's Dao Lao!"

The man in black seemed to see a glimmer of hope. The Dantian that was about to be exhausted actually squeezed out a trace of true energy and poured it into his legs, and then rushed over like a gust of wind.

"Dao Lao, help..."

Swah——

The sword light cut off the man in black's cry for help and extinguished the hope in his eyes. As his pupils gradually expanded, half of the man in black's body fell in front of the huge rock with a "plop".

……

Liu Qi did not raise her head to look at the old man squatting on the rock. She calmly walked to the half-body body in black. Looking at the trembling hand that was still reaching forward, she stabbed the knife from behind. His heart.

After wiping the blood-stained knife clean on the man in black and sheathing it, Liu Qifang slowly raised his head and glanced at the old man, and then glanced at Mrs. Mei who was dressed up not far away. Finally it landed on a tree.

"Liu... Qi..." The person tied to the tree was completely unrecognizable. He seemed to be aware of Liu Qi's gaze and called her name with the last bit of strength he had.

"Not bad, not bad!" The old man with cloudy eyes had been looking at Liu Qi until he suddenly stood up straight and shouted continuously.

"No wonder Your Majesty agreed to your plan, Mrs. Mei. Carefully selected seeds are different!"

The old man's praise made Mrs. Mei couldn't help but smile. Then her beautiful eyes locked on Liu Qi and said softly: "Liu Jiu and Liu Shisan have violated my rules and have been punished."

"Liu Qi... I didn't expect you to have a soft-hearted side."

Liu Qi stood there silently until two figures behind him gradually caught up with him.

After Liu Shijiu and Liu Wu arrived, they didn't have time to take a look at Liu Qi, and they saw Mrs. Mei first. While they were shocked, they both said in unison: "Mrs. Mei!"

Swah——

At this moment, Liu Qi suddenly turned around, and the sword in his hand came out of his body again. A cold light flashed in front of Liu Jiujiu's eyes, so fast that the frightened Liu Jiujiu had no time to react.

"You..." A pair of disbelieving eyes stared at Liu Qi's face until a hand stretched out.

boom!
  The moment the headless corpse fell to the ground, Liu Qi reached out and threw it. Something rolled on the ground several times and landed at Mrs. Mei's feet. The smile in Mrs. Mei's eyes gradually faded away. She slowly lowered her head and met Liu Wu's wide eyes.

"Mrs. Mei's rule is not to betray your companions." Liu Qi said lightly, "Now she has also been punished."

"Liu Qi, what are you doing!" Only now, looking at Liu Wu's headless body, did Liu Jiu wake up, and then asked Liu Qi with his delicate body trembling.

The old man on the rock squinted his eyes and looked at Liu Qi with a somewhat strange look.

Madam Mei did not speak, but the slowly rising and falling chest and the cold eyes showed the anger and murderous intention in her heart at this time.

Liu Qi held a knife in her right hand and looked directly at Madam Mei without any aversion.

call--

The breeze blew by, and the rustling sound in the woods broke the silent atmosphere at this time.

"Cough, cough, cough..." The old man coughed twice, and then said to Mrs. Mei with a smile, "Mrs. Mei, the children are not sensible, so don't argue with them."

After saying that, the old man waved to Liu Qi: "Good boy, come here quickly and let the old man take a good look."

Is this old man the knife-sharpening old man Liu Er mentioned?

Liu Qi secretly thought to herself that judging from his face, he was just a dry and thin old man, but what caught people's attention was that there were two knives, one long and one short, hanging on his left waist, and there was a coarse cloth wrapped around his back. A broad-backed broadsword with an exaggerated handle.

At the moment, Liu Qi had no choice but to walk in the direction of the old man. Behind him, Liu Jiujiu gritted his teeth and seemed to want to reach out to hold Liu Qi, but in the end he failed to reach out.

Every time Liu Qi took a step in the direction of the old man, she could see the coldness in Mrs. Mei's eyes.

Until he arrived in front of the old man, a ray of light suddenly flashed out of the smiling old man's slightly muddy eyes, and then a pair of bone-like arms went straight for Liu Qi's throat.

The cold light in Liu Qi's eyes condensed, and he immediately raised his hand to block the old man's arms. At the same time, the sword in his right hand had already cut through a cold light.

The old man had a rickety figure, but he showed extraordinary speed. He avoided Liu Qi's fatal knife on his back and came towards him at the same time. In the blink of an eye, he struck out three palms in succession.

Hey, hey, hey.

Liu Qi did not dodge, and used his left hand to align three palms in succession. The route of the Heart-Destroying Palm, which he had long been familiar with, had already started. The surging true energy silently gathered in the palm of his hand, and then penetrated through the opportunity of the palm opposition. Inside the old man's body.

"Huh?" A muffled groan came from the old man's chest, and he couldn't help but frown, and then there was a little surprise in his eyes.

With the power of the last palm, the old man turned over and jumped in the air, and then landed in the distance.

"Mrs. Mei, she seems to have mastered the fifth level of the ancient Liu Heart Technique." The old man turned to Mrs. Mei and said, then turned around and looked Liu Qi up and down with a smile on his face: "I really asked Mrs. Mei to choose one. Genius comes out!”

"What!" After hearing what the old man said, Mrs. Mei frowned and had a look of disbelief in her eyes.

"We, Black Prison Gate, want this person!" Just as Mrs. Mei was struggling in her heart, the old man suddenly raised his voice and walked to Liu Qi with trembling steps.

Liu Qi watched as the old man took out a delicate jade bottle from his arms, then poured out a dark red pill from the bottle very carefully, and then spread his wrinkled palm in front of Liu Qi's eyes.

"Take this pill and follow me."
