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

Chapter 387 Insights
When Liu Qi walked out of the main gate of the Canal Merchants Association, he saw Yinglong, or to be more precise, Duke Qing, who was leading officers and soldiers to surround the Canal Merchants Association.

Ying Long, who was constantly wandering around, saw Liu Qi and immediately came forward, then clasped his fists and thanked her respectfully: "Thank you very much for what happened today, Miss Liu."

Liu Qi raised his eyes and glanced at Ying Long, then replied in a light tone: "This should not have anything to do with the Duke."

Yinglong's body shuddered, and he replied repeatedly: "Of course not, I didn't expect Cao Cheng to do such a heartless thing."

"What about Xiao Qifeng? Doesn't he know about it either?" Liu Qi asked.

"This..." Yinglong hesitated for a moment, then said bluntly, "I have sent someone to report to the palace. I believe the emperor has already received the news."

Liu Qi shook his head: "I'm not asking now."

Yinglong now fell into complete silence.

Seeing Yinglong didn't dare to speak, Liu Qi sneered and said, "Forget it. Regardless of whether Xiao Qifeng knows about it or not, I, Liu Qi, want to see with my own eyes what the legendary blood demon is capable of."

After saying that, Liu Qi walked past Yinglong and walked into the night alone.

Only when Liu Qi's figure disappeared from his peripheral vision did Ying Long straighten his back, look back deeply in the direction where Liu Qi had left, then turned around and continued to wait until he saw Bai Ze coming out carrying a person in his hand.

Yinglong glanced at the half-dead man in Bai Ze's hand, his face immediately darkened, and then he hurried forward.

"White Pond……"

"Don't worry, you won't die." Before Yinglong could speak, Bai Ze interrupted him coldly.

boom!
Bai Ze casually threw Master Xu to the ground. Ying Long just silently waved to the officers and soldiers on standby not far away, and someone came forward and carried the half-dead Master Xu away.

Bai Ze stared at Ying Long's solemn expression and immediately asked, "Isn't Chairman Cao of the Canal Merchants Association a guest of honor of you, Duke Qing?"

"You suspect me too?" Yinglong turned around and asked.

Bai Ze did not shy away from Ying Long's angry gaze. "After Duke Anguo's property was confiscated, you were the one who controlled the defense of the capital. Don't tell me that Cao Cheng's actions could have slipped past your eyes?"

"That's enough!" Ying Long shouted, and then glanced at the officers and soldiers not far away. He then suppressed his anger and said softly, "You go back first, leave this to me."

"Hmph!" Bai Ze just snorted coldly.

Yinglong's cheeks trembled, and then he said in a deep voice: "Suzaku has entered the palace to see the queen. It is not appropriate for her to stay in the palace for too long. You go and take her out of the palace to avoid causing more trouble."

Bai Ze's eyes flashed with struggle. He hesitated for a moment and finally lowered his voice and asked, "Yinglong, you still refuse to tell us the truth. Do you think that the experience of more than ten years of life and death is not as good as the wealth and glory now?"

Yinglong's face showed unprecedented determination: "Everything I have now is what I deserve. Also! Don't call me Yinglong anymore. Yinglong is dead!"

Bai Ze seemed shocked by Ying Long's determination. He was stunned for a moment, his lips involuntarily opening and closing as he wanted to say something else, but Ying Long had already walked past him and walked straight into the Canal Merchants Association.

Bai Ze hesitated for a moment with a gloomy face, then jumped up and disappeared into the night sky.

……

When Liu Qi returned to Chunyue Restaurant in the south of the city, it was already daybreak. As the cold wind blew, heavy snow suddenly began to fall from the sky.

Chun Yanshi rubbed her sleepy eyes and opened the door for Liu Qi. When she saw Liu Qi, her sleepiness disappeared instantly.

"Miss, you..." She looked at the thin layer of snow covering Liu Qi's head and shoulders, and couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise.

Liu Qi did not explain too much, but asked Chunyan to prepare some food for her. Although she did not run into the Blood Demon last night, the fight with Kongsang still caused her a lot of damage, and now her stomach is empty.

Liu Qi sat down in the lobby. As the aura around him circulated, the snow that fell on his body disappeared in an instant, and not even a trace of water stains was left on his clothes.

In less than a quarter of an hour, Chunyan came out from the kitchen carrying a fully loaded square tray and neatly placed several plates of steaming dishes on Liu Qi's table.

After placing the chopsticks next to Liu Qi's hand, Chunyan smiled and picked up the wine pot to fill a cup for Liu Qi: "It's snowing outside, Miss, drink some wine to warm yourself up."

Liu Qi would not refuse and started to eat and drink leisurely.

As the light outside the window grew brighter, Liu Qi put the chopsticks down beside him, then raised his eyes and looked through the door and window towards the direction of the imperial palace.

She could clearly feel that Xiao Qifeng's aura was reverberating around the entire palace like endless waves. Once she got too close, the true qi of both parties would echo and affect each other.

This is also the reason why she has been staying in the south of the city since she came to Beijing.

It's not just Xiao Qifeng. As long as one steps into Zhiwei, this situation seems to occur. It was like this when he met Jiang Xuanyun last night, and it was also like this when he met Kong Sang later.

In Kongsang's words, all martial arts in the world have the same goal. Although they are performed differently, they can never escape the origin of the Yuan Qi of Heaven and Earth.

To explain it in Taoist terms, Tao gave birth to one, one gave birth to two, two gave birth to three, and three gave birth to all things...

Liu Qi understands the practice of martial arts as doing the opposite of what one does, so "Tao" is the last step that countless martial artists are desperately pursuing.

So… where is she now?

Is it three or two?

In short, it should not be one.

After all, in this world, she is not even sure that she can get the title of the best in the world.

Kong Sang, Jiang Xuanyun, Xiao Qifeng.

Liu Qi had no confidence in winning against these three people.

And there is Gu Liancheng.

Although he didn't know what happened between him and Gu Jiu underground last night, Liu Qi could clearly sense that the cultivation level Gu Liancheng displayed underground was definitely stronger than the last time he was defeated by him.

Liu Qi narrowed his eyes and completely relaxed, leaning comfortably on the chair, and then his eyes fell on the Cang Hai Juan Yun Sword beside the table.

She was still a little unsatisfied after the battle with Kongsang last night, so she was waiting now.

Waiting for an opportunity to strike with all your might.

Such an opportunity is definitely rare in today's capital, because there are very few people who can allow her to use her sword freely without affecting the entire body.

woohoo-

The wind outside was getting stronger and stronger, and Liu Qi's eyes, which were originally squinted, slowly closed.

sieve!
She suddenly opened her eyes, sat up straight, and then looked through the doors and windows in the direction of the palace.

The aura that shrouded the palace has completely dissipated.

Although they had not discussed it in advance, Liu Qi knew that this was the signal given by Xiao Qifeng.

"Draw your sword! Liu Qi!"

At this time, on the top floor of a restaurant in Beijing.

The windows of the room were left open, letting the cold wind howl in. In the room, an old man in a rough Taoist robe was drinking with a beautiful lady in palace attire.

Just as Liu Qi sat up straight, the two people who were separated by most of the capital city also turned their heads to look out the window. Through this window, they could just see the towering palace walls.

Kong Sang quietly withdrew his gaze, and then spoke first: "Xiao Qifeng is really considerate. He is actually willing to let Liu Qi take action. If it were me, I would clean up the mess myself."

"The leader of a sect is different from the leader of a country." Jiang Xuanyun explained patiently, "Besides, this little girl Liu Qi has been suppressed for so long. If she is not allowed to vent, if she explodes one day, I'm afraid more people will suffer from the disaster."

"If you want to find out her true colors, just say it directly. There's no need to cover it up with these excuses." Kong Sang said bluntly, "Her cultivation is indeed average, but her murderous intent is very different. At least I don't feel a trace of resentment from her murderous intent. Such a pure intention to kill for the sake of killing is really too unbelievable!"

The smile on Jiang Xuanyun's face gradually faded, and then he nodded solemnly to show his agreement: "Although the Crazy Blade was created by Fang Hen, Liu Qi has obviously embarked on another path."

"Looking down on everything in the world and being indifferent to all living things. The word 'Ba' in Overlord is very appropriate!" Jiang Xuanyun couldn't help laughing again as he spoke.

Kong Sang, who was sitting opposite her, looked at him with some disdain, and then said disdainfully: "Speaking of being indifferent to all living things, Sect Leader Jiang is probably not much behind."

Jiang Xuanyun stroked his beard and smiled, "Fairy Kongsang must have misunderstood something."

"Misunderstanding?" Kong Sang sneered, "Now most of the foundation of the capital has been stained by your sword intent. Are you planning to turn the capital into a Jedi?"

Jiang Xuanyun's smile remained unchanged: "As the saying goes, one should be on guard against others. I am only doing this to protect myself."

"Self-protection? Haha!" Kong Sang sneered twice, then said bluntly, "You don't really think Xiao Qifeng cares about the survival of the people in the capital, do you?"

Jiang Xuanyun smiled and stared at Kong Sang for a moment, then replied softly: "At least he finally sat on the throne."

Kongsang's expression changed instantly.

If Xiao Qifeng really didn't care, he would have had countless reasons to refuse to ascend the throne, but in the end he still ascended the throne. Although he was not very qualified to be the emperor, at least he did it.

"Fairy, the wine is cold."

This sentence broke Kongsang's thoughts. She raised her eyes and saw Jiang Xuanyun smiling and nodding at her with a wine glass in hand.

……

In the east of the city, there is the residence of the father-in-law of the emperor.

The then emperor's father-in-law Xu Huachun sat quietly in his study all night, but his youngest son did not come back until dawn. He immediately realized that something must have happened.

So he walked out of the study and first looked up at the direction where the green light column appeared last night. That was the mass grave in the suburbs of Beijing.

He slowly lowered his eyes, held his breath and concentrated, and then the sound of waves appeared in his ears. The moment the sound of waves sounded, Xu Huachun's heart suddenly calmed down a little.

At least Xiao Qifeng is still here.

He arranged many household affairs in an orderly manner and also sent a letter to his eldest daughter in the palace.

But just as he was thinking that the letter should have reached his eldest daughter, a bone-chilling breath suddenly filled in from outside the window.

Click, click, click...

Xu Huachun looked in the direction of the crisp sound and saw that the water in the glass fish tank next to him had frozen into ice.

who is it?

Xu Huachun was briefly panicked, but he immediately calmed down. He lowered his eyes slightly with a serious expression and looked at his arms which were as white as a woman's. Under the pale skin, he saw countless flashes of blood.

No matter who comes, it’s not easy to kill me!
The corners of Xu Huachun's mouth curled up slightly, and the moment the smile appeared, the scene in front of him suddenly changed.

boom--

The exquisite room turned into pieces in an instant. He felt his feet sink and when he looked down, he found that he was standing on a vast expanse of white snow.

He suddenly raised his head and looked around, but there was nothing to see except endless white!

buzzing-

He heard a clanging sound in his ears, and just as he looked forward following the sound, a huge white shadow descended from the sky like a god, wielding a dagger made of white light and chopped down towards his crown!

boom! boom! boom!
Three consecutive invisible ripples spread out from the sky above the Father-in-law's Mansion.

Fortunately, most ordinary people could neither hear nor see the ripples of true energy passing over their heads. They just felt a vague sense of oppression in their chests at that moment, as if they couldn't breathe.

But those who practice martial arts are not so lucky.

Wherever the true energy flows, as long as there are warriors present, they will feel the energy and blood in their bodies churning.

The higher the level of internal strength, the stronger the recoil. Many masters who have already reached the highest level of internal strength vomited blood on the spot, and then looked in the direction of the father-in-law's mansion with panic on their faces.

boom!
The roof burst open and a figure rushed out.

As soon as Xu Huachun, with disheveled hair, landed on the roof, he heard a shrill "Dad——"

His heart trembled, and he immediately looked down in the direction of the sound, only to see his eldest son dancing in the courtyard, tearing off his shirt with his hands until his strong chest was exposed.

"what--"

Xu Huachun's pupils trembled slightly. He watched his eldest son wailing, and countless bloodshot veins suddenly appeared on his naked chest. As the bloodshot veins continued to expand...

call out!call out!call out!
Strands of blade light surged out from his body one after another.

"No!" Xu Huachun flashed down from the roof, waved his hand, and dissolved the sword energy lingering around his eldest son. Then he landed on the ground, bent down, and reached out to support his eldest son's shaky body.

Xu Huachun just took a look and the expression on his face froze instantly. His eldest son's head actually slipped off his neck and rolled on the ground.

"who!"

"Who is it?"

"Get out of here!"

Xu Huachun threw the headless corpse directly to the ground, then stood up angrily, looked around, and let out a hysterical roar.

"Oh, I didn't expect someone else to come out." As the light voice fell into his ears, Xu Huachun's face suddenly froze, and then he slowly turned around and looked at the woman sitting on the roof.

Liu Qi sat on the roof with his arms and legs spread out, supporting his chin with his left hand, leisurely turning the Cang Hai Juan Yun Sword with his right hand, looking indifferently at Xu Huachun in the courtyard.

Seeing that he finally looked at him, Liu Qi stood up, slowly raised the dagger, and pointed the tip of the knife at Xu Huachun.

"Liu Qi!" Xu Huachun saw the Cang Hai Juan Yun Sword in Liu Qi's hand, his pupils shrank and he called out Liu Qi's name in a deep voice.

Liu Qi slowly lowered the knife to his side, and then said calmly: "It is said that after practicing the Blood Demon Myriad Transformations, as long as a drop of energy remains, one can be immortal."

"I don't believe it." She tilted her head slightly, "Can you let me see it for yourself?"
