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

Chapter 332 A narrow escape from death

Thumb, thump, thump...

When he heard the footsteps coming from above his head, Yuan Tong's face changed instantly.

"There is the suppression of the Emperor of Heaven's mirage outside, how could Cui Ming find this place." Just as Yuan Tong was complaining in his heart, his pupils suddenly shrank, and then he slowly raised his stiff neck. When he saw the beautiful figure in front of him, his trembling pupils instantly shrank into a straight line!
"'Nine deaths and one escape' Yuan Tong?" Liu Qi looked at the old man in front of him who looked a bit older than the old man sharpening knives, and then spoke softly.

When Yuan Tong heard Liu Qi speak, his whole body trembled, and then his eyes suddenly shrank, and he quickly suppressed the horror in his heart, and then said slowly in a hoarse voice: "Miss Liu deserves the title of Overlord. Even the Emperor of Heaven's Mirage can't suppress you!"

Liu Qi responded, "Mr. Yuan, you don't have to flatter me. I was able to find this place... thanks to Chief Escort Zheng."

After saying that, Liu Qi turned his head and looked towards the entrance of the dark room, and called softly, "Captain Zheng, now that you are here, why don't you come out and meet Mr. Yuan?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Yuan Tong's face turned cold, and a murderous aura suddenly emanated from his body.

As if affected by Yuan Tong's aura, there was a rustling sound suddenly coming from the originally quiet entrance. Zheng Antai carefully poked his head out, and when he saw Yuan Tong's gloomy face, fear flashed in his eyes for a moment, and then he shrank his head back.

"Humph!"

Upon seeing this, Liu Qi snorted coldly, and then a fierce aura gushed out from behind him, directly swallowing up Yuan Tong's horrified eyes.

Yuan Tong suddenly felt as if he was in an ice cellar, with bone-chilling cold pouring in from all directions, and except for his eyes, there was no part of his body that could move.

Seeing Liu Qi showing off his power and controlling Yuan Tong, Zheng Antai walked out of the dark room entrance, then nodded at Liu Qi with a smile on his face.

"You threatened me in front of me." Liu Qi said calmly, "You don't take Liu Qi seriously at all."

After saying this, Liu Qi no longer paid attention to Yuan Tong whose eyes were rolling wildly. He slowly turned around and looked at the little girl with short legs sitting on the stone platform.

The little girl was watching the show with her eyes wide open, and suddenly she found that Liu Qi turned around and looked at her. A knowing smile appeared on her face: "You are the famous overlord in the martial arts world, Sister Liu Qi."

Liu Qi didn't say anything. She had examined the girl and found nothing unusual.

But the girl's next words made Liu Qi's eyes freeze.

"I've seen you!" the girl said with a smile.

Liu Qi's eyes narrowed slightly, and she finally spoke: "Today is definitely the first time we meet."

"Yeah, yeah." The girl nodded repeatedly, "Today is the first time we meet."

Then the girl pushed herself up with both hands and jumped down from the stone platform. She then walked slowly towards Liu Qi, frowning as she walked, as if she was recalling something.

As the girl approached step by step, a cold light flashed in Liu Qi's eyes.

"I remember that day..." The girl had walked in front of Liu Qi, stood there thinking for a moment, then showed an expression of sudden enlightenment, and then stretched her neck and poked her little head in the direction of Liu Qi.

The girl maintained this strange posture and blinked at Liu Qi: "Sister Liu, please stretch out your hand and put it here."

The girl pointed to her chin.

Upon hearing this, Liu Qi stretched out his hand expressionlessly and gently held the girl's chin.

Then a delighted smile suddenly appeared on the girl's face: "That's it!"

“That’s how I saw my sister that day, but Sister Liu’s expression at the time… was so fierce!”

Liu Qi kept one hand outstretched. She firmly believed that she had never seen the little girl in front of her, and it was impossible for her to use such a strange posture.

But there was no sign of lying on the little girl's face.

This can only mean that the other party's acting skills are so good that they can deceive a top master like me.

Or...what she said was true.

Liu Qi then asked, "Do you remember what day it was?"

"It was not long ago!" The girl's face wrinkled as she recalled, "But the next day I heard from Sister Ouyang that it seemed to be the day when Sister Liu defeated some important person!"

The day of the decisive battle with Jiang Jiyu!
Liu Qi's eyes suddenly became cold.

Then she seemed to remember something and lowered her eyes to look at her outstretched arm.

That day she did stretch out her arms just like she did now, but what she held in her hand was not a girl's head, but... Zhurong Pearl!

Zhurong beads!
Liu Qi's eyes flickered slightly, and then the clothes in front of him fluttered, and a pitch-black bead flew out of his arms, and then hung between Liu Qi and the girl!
At this moment, Yuan Tong, who was behind Liu Qi, saw the Zhurong Pearl appear, and his pupils trembled violently, and horror instantly filled his eyes.

Liu Qi felt the movement behind her. She wanted to take back the hand that was supporting the girl and take the Zhurong Pearl into her hand. But just as her hand was about to touch the Zhurong Pearl, the originally pitch-black pearl suddenly glowed red, and a terrifying energy blocked Liu Qi!
"No!" A hysterical roar came from behind.

Liu Qi took a quick glance and discovered that Yuan Tong had broken free from his control and was desperately rushing towards Zhurongzhu.

Rumbling--

A huge roar resounded throughout the valley. As the sound spread, people in towns dozens of miles away woke up from their sleep and fled out of the door frantically, shouting "The earth dragon is turning over, the earth dragon is turning over!"

Amidst the rolling dust, a ray of light blue pierced the sky. As the blue light gradually dissipated, several figures were seen being thrown down from the air one after another.

Finally, Liu Qi, with a light green aura lingering all over her body, landed gracefully on the ground. She just stopped and looked around, and found that everywhere she looked were broken walls and ruins. The whole town had become a ruin. When she looked into the distance in the faint moonlight, she found that the mountain that was supposed to be towering had disappeared!
The only thing to be thankful for is that the red fog that had covered the entire town has now completely disappeared.

And all this is thanks to Zhurong Pearl.

Just when Yuan Tong was about to pounce on Zhu Rongzhu, Zhu Rongzhu seemed to sense something and suddenly burst out with energy that was enough to rival a top master. Then countless red mists broke through the roof of the dark room, causing it to collapse...

Before the dark room was buried, Liu Qi brought the people around him out.

The only person who died underground was Zheng Antai, the chief escort of the East China Escort Agency, who hid at the entrance of the dark room and dared not approach. The blame was on him because he was too far away from Liu Qi at the time.

"Uh uh..."

Liu Qi looked in the direction of the groaning sound, and saw Yuan Tong lying on the ground, curled up in a ball, shaking all over, as if he was enduring great pain, and the breath that kept emanating from his body gradually became scorching hot...

"what--"

The originally low groaning sound instantly turned into a painful wail.

Fortunately, a petite figure trotted forward. The little girl held the Zhurong Pearl in one hand and gently pressed the other hand on Yuan Tong's head.

Liu Qi watched the little girl's actions quietly. She clearly saw that the Zhurong Pearl, which had returned to silence, suddenly flashed a red light on its surface. Then the burning breath from Yuan Tong's body instantly subsided, and the little girl's body softened, and she collapsed to the ground with a "pop"! Liu Qi walked forward slowly, her eyes swept over Yuan Tong, whose breathing was gradually stabilizing, and then fell on the little girl.

The little girl seemed to sense Liu Qi's gaze, and then she raised her head slightly and smiled sweetly at Liu Qi: "Thank you, Sister Liu, for saving me."

Liu Qi shook his head: "It wasn't me who saved you, it was this..."

Liu Qi pointed at the Zhurong Pearl in the little girl's hand and continued, "Just now in the dark room, the energy released by the Zhurong Pearl impacted almost everything, but it spared you."

The little girl looked at the bead in her hand and murmured to herself, "So it's called Zhurong Bead!"

“Cough, cough, cough…” After a painful cough, Yuan Tong struggled to sit up, then seemed to look up at Liu Qi, and then said, “Miss Liu, if there is anything you want to know, you should ask me. Tianxiang is just a little girl who knows nothing about the world after all.”

Liu Qi nodded slightly: "That's best."

But Liu Qi did not immediately ask about the doubts in his heart, but raised his head and looked into the distance, then said softly: "Someone is coming, let's talk about it in another place."

……

Just shortly after Liu Qi and his group left.

A sneaky figure suddenly appeared among the ruins.

The man walked slowly to the place where Liu Qi had just stood, squatted down as if to examine it carefully, and then slowly stood up. The pale moonlight instantly fell on her graceful figure tightly wrapped in a nightgown.

"Could it be that Ouyang Longcheng caught up?" The man in black murmured. From the clear voice, it was not difficult to tell that it was a young woman.

The woman in nightgown immediately shook her head and denied her speculation: "It shouldn't be possible. Ouyang Longcheng is still after me, and there is no way he knows this place!"

"Hurry, hurry, hurry..." Just then a noisy sound came from afar, and the night sky was illuminated by a few rays of fire.

Upon seeing this, the woman in black immediately took a few steps back and then disappeared into the desolate night.

At this time, the post station was dozens of miles away.

Liu Qi had returned to the room. After she put down the little girl beside her, another figure flashed in from the open window.

Gongsun You put down the half-dead Yuan Tong, and then looked at Liu Qi. She had countless questions in her mind at this moment, but she swallowed them back when they came to her lips.

Liu Qi did not bring Gongsun You into the dark room, but let her stay outside, so Gongsun You personally experienced the collapse of the sky and the earth. Fortunately, without the threat of the red fog, it was not difficult for Gongsun You, as a top master, to escape from the collapse of the town.

But she still wanted to figure out what had just happened.

On the way back, Gongsun You discovered that the recent changes not only caused the collapse of the town where they were, but its impact had even spread to the official road more than ten miles away.

This power was beyond Gongsun You's understanding.

Liu Qi blew the tinder and lit the candle on the table. He glanced at Yuan Tong and the little girl who were already sitting at the table, then turned to look at Gongsun You and calmly ordered them to leave: "Miss Gongsun, you have worked hard tonight. Go back and rest!"

Gongsun You subconsciously wanted to refuse, but seeing Liu Qi's indifferent expression, she swallowed the words that were on the tip of her tongue, and walked out of the room with a gloomy face.

Only after hearing Gongsun You's footsteps returning to her own room did Liu Qi calmly sit down at the table. Then a powerful aura emanated from his body, instantly enveloping the entire room tightly.

"Mr. Yuan, you can tell me now!"

……

The next day, early in the morning.

After Liu Shijiu rubbed his sleepy eyes and went downstairs, he was surprised to find Liu Qi sitting at a table eating with two strangers, one old and one young.

A look of vigilance flashed across Nineteen's eyes, and then he walked forward with a sullen face. After carefully sizing up the two of them, he was about to speak to Liu Qi, when suddenly the little girl at the table smiled at him and called out sweetly, "Sister Nineteen!"

Liu Nineteen's eyes moved slightly, and he immediately asked Liu Qi in a cold voice: "Who are they?"

"Guest." Liu Qi said briefly.

"Sure enough, I guessed it right. You are Sister Nineteen who is inseparable from Sister Liu Qi!" The little girl smiled with some pride.

"I'm Yuan Tong, and I'm sorry to bother Miss Nineteen on the way." The old man sitting opposite the little girl slowly raised his head, revealing a pale face, and said in a hoarse voice.

"Sister Nineteen, just call me Tianxiang." The little girl also quickly introduced herself to Liu Nineteen.

Soon the others also knew that Liu Qi had suddenly brought two people from somewhere.

Fortunately, everyone was used to Liu Qi's autocratic behavior, and the little girl named Tianxiang was quite sweet-talking. After a few sweet words, the two people headed by Zhou Mi and Tao readily accepted it!

As for Yuan Tong...

A group of people were riding their horses slowly forward on the official road.

Suddenly, Xu Yongding kicked his horse and caught up with his wife who was chatting and laughing with Zhou Mi. He frowned and said in a deep voice: "Madam, Miss Zhou, did you hear the old man's self-introduction just now? He seemed to say that his last name was Yuan and his first name was Tong!"

"Yuan Tong?" Tao didn't think much about it and was just about to ask what was so strange about this name.

Zhou Mi, who was riding beside him, revealed Yuan Tong's identity in one sentence: "Could it be that Yuan Tong, who survived a near-death experience, is really him? But the old man looks like he is about to die, and he doesn't look like a miracle doctor at all!"

Not far ahead, Yuan Tong, who was riding with Liu Qi, heard the conversation behind them and shook his head and sighed, "I never thought that my medical skills would be questioned one day!"

"You deserve it." Liu Qi said bluntly, "A doctor doesn't want to cure diseases and save lives, but instead wants to pursue immortality. If it's not you who's unlucky, then who's unlucky?"

Upon hearing this, Yuan Tong lowered his eyes and hid the brilliance in his eyes. Then he raised his head slightly and glanced at Liu Qi's profile. Seeing that there was no ripple on her face, he immediately said in a deep voice: "Yuan Tong does not believe that Miss Liu has no interest in immortality at all!"

Seeing that Liu Qi ignored him, Yuan Tong suddenly looked up to the sky and murmured, "The elixir of immortality, Zhurong Pearl, and two of the Nine Cauldrons have been obtained. I think it is God who wants Miss Liu to obtain this heavenly way!"

Liu Qi raised his eyes and looked at Liu Shijiu who was in the front. Tianxiang was on Liu Shijiu's horse at this time.

"You said that the Nine Cauldrons represent the Way of Heaven, and the Elixir of Immortality is one of the Nine Cauldrons. But now Tianxiang has merged with the Elixir of Immortality. Do you think I am going to eat her?"

Upon hearing this, Yuan Tong said solemnly: "Heaven and earth are not benevolent, and treat all things as straw dogs. If we can replace the way of heaven, then why not!"

Liu Qi glanced at him indifferently: "Oh, you are really not a human being!"
