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

Chapter 398 Recovery
Liu Qi, who was packing up the chess pieces, suddenly stopped when he heard this.

After a moment of silence, she said softly, "Although I don't know who caused the strange poison in your body, my guess is that the poison lurking in your body is not a deadly poison, but rather something pure similar to the Yuan Qi of Heaven and Earth, so it can be suppressed by the pure Yin Qi of the Nine Nether Cold Veins, which is also pure."

Zhou Mi raised his eyebrows slightly, with a look of confusion on his face.

Liu Qi placed the chess piece in his hand into the chess box, and then explained slowly: "All the living things you see are ultimately different manifestations of the original qi of heaven and earth. Although they have different forms, they are still inseparable from the origin. Now in this world, my cultivation has been infinitely close to the original qi of heaven and earth itself, so as long as the poison is born naturally in the world, it will never be able to compete with my true qi. In other words, I can't eradicate the strange poison in your body, just because the strength of this strange poison is very likely greater than my true qi."

"If what you said is true, then the strange poison in my body is actually closer to the Yuan Qi of Heaven and Earth itself than the true Qi of you so-called grand masters." Zhou Mi's brows relaxed and he smiled.

"You can say that, but..." Liu Qi turned to look at Zhou Mi, shook his head, and then said meaningfully, "This strange energy in your body doesn't seem to belong to this world... or at least not the world of today."

Zhou Mi's smile disappeared instantly, and confusion became even more intense. Then he frowned and said, "I don't understand. Can there be two worlds under the same heaven and earth?"

Liu Qi nodded slightly and replied seriously: "Of course there is only one world now, but it does not mean that the world in the past belongs to the same world as the present."

Because she knew that, at least in ancient times, the being known as the Mother Goddess of Humankind had taken the last step. Afterwards, Liu Qi didn't know whether she had successfully reached the other side, but judging from the situation at the time, this world must have undergone irreversible changes.

Seeing this, Liu Qi touched his chin thoughtfully, and then murmured: "But since this energy can blend perfectly with you, it means that there is no conflict between it and your origin. This is a bit unbelievable."

Liu Qi said it was unbelievable, but actually he already had a clue in his mind.

……

That day, the capital city welcomed a rare sunny day in winter.

"What a nice day!" Liu Nineteen stood in the empty courtyard, looked up at the cloudless sky, and sighed heartily.

"The weather is really nice." Chunyan on the side nodded thoughtfully in agreement. She was thinking that she should take advantage of this good day to take out the clothes and bedding to dry them in the sun.

Twenty days have passed since they brought Liu Qi to this villa.

During these twenty days, apart from Xu Qinghuai who came at the beginning and Kong Sang who came later, no one else came to bother them.

Compared to the chaotic capital city today, this small mountain village on the outskirts of Beijing has become a peaceful paradise.

Susu!

At this moment, a figure came from the sky and landed in the center of the courtyard.

Liu Nineteen looked at the person who came, with disgust in his eyes not concealed at all.

Chunyan, who was standing by, bowed very respectfully and said, "This servant greets General Bai Ze."

Bai Ze didn't even look at Liu Nineteen, but nodded expressionlessly at Chunyan and said, "Now the official roads outside are crowded with people fleeing the capital, and even the army seems to have mutinied. I heard that Fu Qingshu has returned to the capital, but it seems that he can't turn the tide in the current situation."

The battle between Liu Qi and Gu Liancheng almost destroyed a quarter of South City. Countless people died directly from the aftermath of their true energy, and most of them did not even have a complete body. For the first time, the people of Beijing, who had enjoyed peace for more than two hundred years, felt the pain of having the butcher's knife hanging over their heads.

The imperial court did not take much action. Within a few days, the people of the entire capital knew what had happened that day. They also learned that there were two more powerful people of the same level as Liu Qi and Gu Liancheng in the capital!
Of course, they didn't know that there was another woman named Kongsang who was also lurking near the capital, waiting for an opportunity to strike.

In the past, the so-called two greatest masters in the world, the Seven Stars and Five Righteous Men, and other top masters were just legends in the eyes of most people.

But ever since the battle between Liu Qi and Gu Liancheng, for the people in Beijing, especially those who witnessed the fight between the two, the aftermath of the true qi brought about a devastating impact.

In their eyes at this moment, these so-called top masters are probably no longer the high and mighty gods, but doomsday disasters that can completely destroy everything they cherish at any time.

Although the capital city has insurmountable high walls, they cannot resist people's desire for life.

This mass escape, which is absolutely unprecedented in history, has lasted for more than half a month. The originally prosperous capital city seemed to have turned into a hell on earth overnight. Countless people were crowded on the official roads leading to all directions. Although the cold wind from the north killed people invisibly, it still could not stop their steps for survival.

As Bai Ze, who was born and raised in the capital, felt an indescribable heartache when he saw this scene, but he also clearly knew that this might be a way out for the people in the capital, because he could not predict what would happen next.

Thinking of this, Bai Ze couldn't help but look up towards the backyard, where was Liu Qi's residence.

Ever since sending Kong Sang away, Liu Qi has been staying at home to recuperate. Not to mention Bai Ze, even Chun Yan hasn't seen her own lady for more than ten days.

"Still no movement today?" Bai Ze retracted his gaze and asked lightly.

Chunyan knew who he was asking about, so she answered truthfully, "Miss Zhou came into the room once this morning, but she only stayed for less than a cup of tea before she came out."

Bai Ze's eyes moved slightly, and after a moment's silence, he turned his head and said to Liu Shijiu in a deep voice: "Now, except for the west of the city guarded by the imperial army and some of the markets in the east of the city, the rest of the capital has become a complete mess. I think the food stored in the farm may not be enough. Come with me into the city this afternoon and find a way to get some more food."

Although Liu Nineteen didn't want to communicate too much with Bai Ze, he knew that what he was talking about was serious business, so he nodded with a cold face: "I understand."

"Rumble--"

Suddenly the ground shook, and the figures of the three people in the courtyard also shook with it. Bai Ze was the first to stabilize his body, then he glanced sideways with a serious expression and looked at Liu Nineteen, and then both of them moved their eyes to look towards the backyard.

Boom boom boom...

Amid a low roar, an invisible air wave spread out along the ground, and the three of them once again felt the ground beneath their feet begin to tremble slightly.

Liu Nineteen looked towards the backyard with a deep gaze, and then a smile suddenly broke out on his face: "I know, Liu Qi is coming out of seclusion!"

As soon as she finished speaking, a graceful figure suddenly rose into the air from the backyard, and in an instant was hanging steadily in the air.

Bai Ze narrowed his eyes and stared at the man in the air. He saw that his body was surrounded by a light blue light curtain, and invisible air waves spread out from the light curtain one after another...

The three people in the courtyard were naturally impacted by the air wave. This time, the air wave did not pass through their feet, but directly covered the entire courtyard. Bai Ze and Liu Nineteen both turned pale, and felt the blood in their bodies begin to churn uncontrollably...

At this critical moment, the air waves that spread out like ripples solidified instantly, and then rushed towards the figure in the air at a speed that was difficult to see with the naked eye.

Clang - after a series of clanging sounds, the light blue light curtain lingering around her body instantly retracted, revealing a cold but stunningly beautiful face.

Liu Qi, hanging in the air, reached out and touched her shoulder. Through the extremely thin silk, she could clearly feel the tenderness of her skin.

The horrifying crack that had occurred before has completely healed, and the Jueling sword energy that remained in the body has also been completely eliminated.

She, Liu Qi, is back again!

……

At the same time, in a bedroom in the imperial palace, a black figure sitting cross-legged on the bed shook slightly, and then his eyes suddenly opened, and the gleam in his eyes disappeared in an instant.

boom!
The door to the bedroom was opened, and as the dark figure strode out, all the ministers at the steps outside the door knelt on the ground one after another.

"Your Highness, I pay my respects to you, Your Majesty!"

The leader was none other than the Prime Minister of the current dynasty, Fu Qingshu. When he raised his head, he revealed a weathered face, his eyes were filled with an insoluble sadness, and his whole body seemed to be surrounded by a dead smell.

After walking out of the palace, Xiao Qifeng ignored the ministers who were kneeling on the steps. Instead, he looked up into the distance. When he could no longer sense the familiar murderous aura, he retracted his gaze and looked down at Fu Qingshu, saying lightly, "Master Fu is back."

Fu Qingshu's body shuddered upon hearing this, as if he had received an epiphany. A look of determination suddenly appeared in his eyes, and his face became much rosier. Then he replied in a resounding voice: "I, your Majesty, implore the emperor to put the overall situation first and seal off the capital to prevent the people from fleeing..."

Before he could finish his impassioned words, he was interrupted by Xiao Qifeng's calm voice: "Master Fu, let them go."

"But!" Fu Qingshu suddenly raised his head and was about to explain.

However, Xiao Qifeng waved his hand calmly and said, "Master Fu, take your family and leave. The capital is no longer under your control. Staying here means death."

Fu Qingshu expressed sorrow: "Old minister...where are my family members?"

……

Liu Qi walked on the desolate streets and looked at the empty shops around him. It was hard to imagine that this was the once prosperous Kyoto.

Another street, which is only separated from this street by a wall, has long been reduced to a wasteland.

Liu Qi was not moved at all when he revisited the old place. He just felt that it was a pity that he did not keep Gu Liancheng that day.

This coward disappeared without a trace after escaping. Given his martial arts skills, it would not be easy to find him again.

Fortunately, Gu Liancheng's true identity has now spread throughout the martial arts world, and there should be many people who want to find him. For example, the Beggars' Sect, under the leadership of the new leader Xiu Shaoyang, has already announced to the world that they will definitely clear out their ranks and kill Gu Liancheng, eliminating this scourge for the martial arts world!

Last time in Jiangnan, Gu Liancheng had been defeated by Xiu Shaoyang once, so he seemed very confident that he could kill Gu Liancheng with his own hands.

But Liu Qi, who had fought with Gu Liancheng, didn't think so. Gu Liancheng's martial arts were very diverse. At least in the battle that day, he used three of the Seventh Heaven's unique skills, as well as the Flame Emperor's Six Heaven-burning Styles, plus the Beggar Gang's ancestral Dragon Yuan Tian Gang...

Thinking of this... Liu Qi couldn't help but feel a little confused.

Of course, a person can practice multiple martial arts, but it is incredible that every martial art can be practiced to such a level.

Because to be able to master truly divine martial arts, the degree of compatibility with one's mind and character will be extremely strict. How can a person's mind and character be compatible with multiple unique skills at the same time?
Unless he is schizophrenic!

A light bulb went off in Liu Qi’s mind!
Is he really schizophrenic?
Liu Qi, who was strolling on the street, soon attracted the attention of a group of uninvited guests. In the dark corner, several pairs of vicious eyes fell on her.

In times of chaos, there are always people who try to take advantage of the situation.

call out!call out!call out!
A slight sound of breaking through the air suddenly sounded, and several silver needles flashing with cold light shot towards Liu Qi's back.

Liu Qi continued to walk forward leisurely, seemingly unaware of the coming danger.

when!when!when!
Just as those pairs of eyes in the darkness showed smiles of success, suddenly a figure fell from the sky, and then with a series of crisp sounds, silver needles fell to the ground.

Liu Nineteen glanced at the silver needle on the ground, then suddenly raised his eyes and looked towards a window on the street.

"Remember to leave someone alive and ask them where their lair is."

Liu Qi's voice came from behind. Liu Nineteen immediately showed a disdainful sneer on his face and stared at the dark window with a grim look: "Do you need me to tell you?"

Liu Qi walked forward about ten steps and heard a shrill wail behind her, so she shook her head slightly and continued walking forward.

It was Bai Ze who suggested entering the city today. He originally wanted to bring Liu Shijiu to the city to replenish some supplies in case of emergency.

After learning about this, Liu Qi, who had just been released from confinement, also took the initiative to ask to go with them to visit the city.

Bai Ze was silent for a long time after learning about it. He did not dare to refuse Liu Qi's request, of course, because there was no use in refusing.

But Bai Ze was worried that Liu Qi would cause trouble again when he came to Beijing. After all, Xiao Qifeng and Jiang Xuanyun were still in the capital!
Especially Jiang Xuanyun, he almost killed Liu Qi with one sword.

Based on Bai Ze's understanding of Liu Qi, this woman is known for her vengeance. There is no way she would let go of such a life-and-death feud easily!
But Liu Qi also saw Bai Ze's worry. She said at that time that she had a pretty good fight with Jiang Xuanyun and would not vent her anger on Jiang Xuanyun just because she was hit by a sword.

Of course, the deeper reason was that after the battle with Gu Liancheng, Liu Qi felt that he might not be able to distinguish the winner between him and Jiang Xuanyun now, even though half of his body was disabled now.

As for the last time when the two of them almost died together...

That was purely because Liu Qi thought she was fighting three against one, while Jiang Xuanyun, the old man, was arrogantly shouldering the lives of millions of people...

Among all the people present at the time, the one who could be said to be flawless was Xiao Qifeng, who let Gu Liancheng go and did not attack the dying Liu Qi and Jiang Xuanyun!
