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

Chapter 307 Avoiding Disaster
Jiang Jiyu nodded, then glanced at Wang Daqian who was being held by Dugu Ming, and immediately asked Liu Qi, "Since this shopkeeper Wang was a colleague of yours in the past, why not leave him to you to handle."

Dugu Ming and Fang Qingluan were slightly surprised when they heard this. After looking at each other, Dugu Ming was about to say something, but when he raised his eyes, he found that Jiang Jiyu was looking at him sternly. Dugu Ming instantly understood the warning in his master's eyes, so he quickly shut his mouth.

Liu Qi didn't even look at Wang Daqian, and replied in a calm tone: "Since the man was captured by Master Jiang, it is up to Master Jiang to decide whether to kill or rob him."

Jiang Jiyu seemed to have realized that Liu Qi would say this. He nodded with a faint smile and said, "In that case, after I interrogate this thief, I will tell Miss Liu everything he said."

Liu Qi looked calm as usual: "It's up to you."

Then Liu Qi looked up at the sky and said softly, "There's no need to eat. If you don't show up as promised in seven days, don't blame Liu Qi for forcing you out by other means."

As he spoke, Liu Qi glanced at the disciples behind Jiang Jiyu.

Dugu Ming, Fang Qingluan and Li Feiling suddenly felt as if a thorn in their backs, and a chill surged into their hearts.

Logically speaking, Jiang Jiyu should not be an erratic villain, but Liu Qi still decided to speak the ugly truth upfront.

Feeling the undisguised murderous intent in Liu Qi's eyes, Jiang Jiyu narrowed his eyes slightly, and then replied expressionlessly: "Jiang is not such a mean person."

"I hope so." Liu Qi said lightly, then tapped his feet lightly, and then floated backwards like a kite with a broken string. In just a blink of an eye, he disappeared from everyone's sight.

The disciples who were originally standing behind Jiang Jiyu stepped forward and came to the edge of the bow. Only then did they see Liu Qi walking on the water on the river. After a while, he disappeared on the shore.

Li Feiling's face looked a little ugly. After retracting his gaze, he said in a low voice: "I didn't expect this woman's Qinggong is so powerful. She walked across the river without causing a single ripple on the water!"

"That's because she has mastered her own Qi to the ultimate level. Only when she has reached this level can she be qualified to say 'do whatever she wants'."

Everyone gathered at the bow was startled when they heard the words, and immediately turned around and looked in the direction of Jiang Jiyu.

Seeing the disciples' different expressions, Jiang Jiyu shook his head, then sighed softly, "I still remember that a few months ago, this girl was only at the top level. I didn't expect that she has already reached the top in just a few months. With the martial arts skills she has shown now, looking at the heroes in the world, there are probably only a handful of people who can definitely beat her!"

"Hey hey hey..."

Just then, there was a sudden burst of inappropriate laughter.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw Wang Daqian, who was being escorted by Dugu Ming, smiling slyly.

Sensing that everyone's eyes were focused on him, Wang Daqian stopped laughing and raised his head, looking at Jiang Jiyu impartially, then grinned and said, "Master Jiang, it seems that you don't have the confidence in your heart to overcome the murderous intent of the mad knife."

Jiang Jiyu's face showed no emotion. He just looked at Wang Daqian quietly without saying a word.

Being looked at like this by Jiang Jiyu, Wang Daqian suddenly felt a little uneasy. The speech he had prepared was thrown out of his mind for a moment, and the smile on his face gradually disappeared.

After a moment, Wang Daqian came back to his senses. He shook his head fiercely, with a ferocious look on his face. He said in a stern tone, "Master Jiang, if I can help you defeat Liu Qi, I wonder if you can save your life?"

Only after hearing these words did Jiang Jiyu blink his eyes, and then said calmly: "Finally the fox's tail is exposed. Tell me, who is the master standing behind you?"

"Since I am the leader of Greedy Wolf, the person standing behind me must be the old man sharpening the knife?" Wang Daqian replied with his head held high.

"Pooh!"

Dugu Ming spat at him immediately upon hearing this, and then increased the force on Wang Daqian's hand. Seeing Wang Daqian's painful expression, Dugu Ming cursed viciously: "Who do you think you are, a knife-sharpening old man? How dare a stray dog ​​negotiate with the master!"

Jiang Jiyu's eyes darkened slightly, and he said softly, "Ming'er, stop it."

Upon hearing this, Dugu Ming was about to raise his head to explain something to his master, but seeing Jiang Jiyu's unquestionable expression, he could only let go of his hand angrily.

Fang Qingluan on the side glanced at Wang Daqian meaningfully, and then gently advised Dugu Ming: "Big Brother, you might as well listen to what he has to say. Anyway, he is in our hands now. Not to mention the old man sharpening the knife, even the King of Hell himself can't save him!"

Wang Daqian stretched his muscles and snorted disdainfully after hearing what Fang Qingluan said. Then he replied slowly, "If it weren't for Master Dao's order, I really thought you guys could catch me!"

"You!" Dugu Ming became furious upon hearing this and raised his palm to chop Wang Daqian to death, but was stopped in time by Fang Qingluan.

Wang Daqian changed from his previous timid appearance in front of Liu Qi, as if he had become a different person. Although he was imprisoned and his life and death were in the hands of others, he looked arrogant.

However, when he turned his gaze and looked at Jiang Jiyu, his arrogance instantly subsided, and he bowed and said, "Master Jiang, with your knowledge, you must have known Liu Qi's plan. He is imitating the former mad knife Fang Hen and using your blood to refine her knife."

Halfway through his words, Wang Daqian looked up and saw that Jiang Jiyu still had no expression on his face. He couldn't help but feel even more uneasy, but he still gritted his teeth and continued:
"Old Dao said that Liu Qi chose to enter the Dao by killing people, despite the great disapproval of the world. She regarded all living things as grass, which was really against the will of heaven and was hated by both humans and gods. Master Jiang is a far-sighted man of insight. He should be able to see that this woman will lead the world into an irreparable disaster in the future. Therefore, Old Dao specifically asked me to ask the master a question..."

"Would you like to be the 'Black Emperor' of this world and save the people of the world from this great disaster?"

The Black Emperor was the name of Xiao Lang, the founding emperor of the Great Qi Dynasty, when he was fighting for supremacy over the world. Because he often appeared in black clothes, and the background color of the royal flag was mainly black, he was called the Black Emperor.

Back then, Mad Blade Fang Hen died in a battle with Xiao Lang.

……

Since everything was settled, Liu Qi did not stay in Su Jiang Mansion for too long. After saying goodbye to her father who was on duty at the government office, she returned to Jiangnan alone.

Liu Qi did not tell anyone around him about the battle with Jiang Jiyu in seven days, nor did he have any intention of secluding himself to prepare for the battle.

After returning home, he meditated and practiced swordplay as usual, then ate and slept. His life was no different from usual.

So when the Xu family learned the news, two full days had passed since Liu Qi and Jiang Jiyu had made the seven-day appointment.

Tao Zhiyan learned this from Yang Yiyi in Tianyin Pavilion. She didn't even bother to listen to the piano music she usually enjoyed, and hurried back home to tell the Xu family the news.

So when Tao and his men hurried to the door of Liu Qi's room and pushed it open, Liu Qi was sitting cross-legged on the bed in meditation.

As the door was pushed open, Liu Qi opened her eyes and calmly looked at Tao who appeared at the door. "You will fight with the owner of Jiang Manor in five days?" Tao looked at her calm daughter. For some reason, her anxious mood calmed down a lot instantly, but she still asked nervously.

Liu Qi nodded calmly and said, "Isn't this exactly why I came to Jiangnan?"

Tao was speechless for a moment when he heard this.

Yes, isn’t this exactly the reason why they came here from afar with their daughter?

Perhaps it was because he had been too relaxed since arriving in Jiangnan, or perhaps Tao deliberately didn't want to think about it...

Tao calmed herself down, then walked into the room, sat down next to Liu Qi, and then stretched out her slightly trembling hand and placed it on the back of Liu Qi's hand.

"Fang Fu, you...you...you have to take care of yourself." Tao hesitated for a long time before saying this in a crying voice.

Liu Qi turned her head and looked at Tao, whose eyes were filled with tears. Surprise flashed across her eyes. She thought the other party would advise her not to accept the challenge.

"Okay." After Liu Qi pondered for a moment, he nodded heavily.

Tao Zhili and Tao Zhiyan, the brother and sister who came with Tao, were even more shocked by what Tao said. After Tao finally left the room, Tao Zhiyan, who was extremely worried, hurriedly asked, "Aunt, why don't you persuade my cousin?"

That’s Jiang Jiyu, one of the Seven Stars who is known to everyone in the world and the best in the world!

Although Tao Zhiyan also knew that Liu Qi and Jiang Jiyu were at the same level, in her heart, Jiang Jiyu, who had more experience in the martial arts world, obviously had a greater chance of winning than Liu Qi!
Tao smiled bitterly and said, "Zhiyan, prepare yourself in the next few days and leave Jiangnan with Zhili."

"Aunt, I won't leave!" Tao Zhili heard the determination in her aunt's words, and her heart trembled. She immediately stood up and objected, "Besides, I believe in my cousin. She will never lose to Jiang Jiyu!"

Tao shook her head and said earnestly: "This is Fangfu's path. As a mother, I should accompany her to the end, but you are still young."

Tao thought for a moment, then continued, "Your master, Mr. Zhu, has many friends in the martial arts world. I think he will know what to do."

In fact, just as Tao expected, the exact time of the battle between Liu Qi and Jiang Jiyu that day began to spread gradually in the martial arts world.

Qingzhuke, who learned about this, also took the initiative to visit the Xu family, said goodbye, and proposed to take his two disciples Tao Zhili and Tao Zhiyan to visit another good friend.

Although she said so on the surface, Tao knew in her heart that her intention to visit her good friend's house was fake, and her intention to stay away from the Xu family, a place of trouble, was real.

Liu Qi, who was watching Xu Xinshan practicing martial arts in the martial arts arena in the side courtyard of the mansion, learned the news from Liu Shijiu.

She immediately opened her mouth and asked softly, "Has the person left?"

Liu Nineteen seemed a little indignant: "Of course I left. That old man said something nice, but he was just afraid that after you lose, those enemies you made in the past would take the opportunity to take revenge and implicate them!"

Liu Qi said calmly, "It is human nature to seek benefits and avoid harm. Qingzhuke and I have no relationship, so why should I get involved in this mess?"

Seeing that Liu Qi had not yet been persuaded, Liu Nineteen became even more furious: "But those two surnamed Tao, aren't they your cousins?"

Liu Qi shook his head: "No matter how deep the feelings are or how close the relationship is, there is no need for someone to risk their life for you."

Liu Nineteen was silent for a while, then looked at Liu Qi who was staring at the martial arts stage: "What about me, should I leave too?"

Liu Qi responded without hesitation: "If you want to leave, I won't stop you."

"You!" Liu Shijiu stood up suddenly, his chest heaving, obviously he was irritated by Liu Qi!

Liu Qi then slowly turned his head and looked at Nineteen calmly, saying seriously, "Nineteen, I am not sure that I can defeat Jiang Jiyu."

Upon hearing this, the anger on Liu Jiujiu's face instantly disappeared, and he sat down again without saying a word. He also turned his gaze to look at Xu Xinshan who was practicing martial arts on the stage, and then said in a light tone: "I know, the worst that can happen is that we will die together. When have I, Liu Jiujiu, ever been afraid of death!"

Liu Qi said lightly, "But if you die, there will be nothing left."

Liu Nineteen lowered her head with a sad look on her face, and muttered in a voice that only she could hear: "But apart from you... I have nothing else."

Liu Qi turned his head to look at Nineteen, and seeing that he had his head lowered, he silently looked away.

This house was specially prepared by the Lu family. As a family of martial arts, they may lack everything, but they cannot lack a place to practice martial arts. Therefore, the largest area in the whole mansion is this martial arts arena!
On the square martial arts stage, a petite figure was flipping up and down.

Xu Xinshan practiced the Xu family's ancestral palm technique, the Green Wave Palm.

Although he is still young and has not yet started to practice internal skills, he has already mastered the palm techniques very well and can fight in a very capable manner.

After practicing a palm technique, Xu Xinshan was breathing heavily and her face was flushed. However, when she turned her head and saw her aunt in the shed below the stage, she took a deep breath, straightened her back and came to the edge of the martial arts stage.

"Aunt, how am I doing with my training?" Although Xu Xinshan was young and didn't know much about the affairs of the martial arts world, she knew that the best martial artist in her family was this aunt whom she had never seen before.

Looking at the little girl's eager look, and the fact that she had recovered from the poison, most other people would have praised her.

But Liu Qi shook his head seriously: "It's unsightly, I need to practice more!"

Xu Xinshan's face fell instantly.

Even Liu Nineteen seemed to feel a little bit reluctant when watching this, and then turned around and glared at Liu Qi fiercely.

Liu Qi stared at me and said, "Why are you staring at me? You just remembered that I treated you the same way before, and it made you feel sad. Could it be that you, Nineteen, really sympathize with Xin Shan?"

Upon hearing this, Nineteen turned his head to the side feeling somewhat guilty, as it was obvious that Liu Qi's words had revealed his secret thoughts.
