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

Chapter 402: The Sword of the Rest of Life

Liu Qi retracted his gaze and quietly glanced sideways at Xiao Qifeng, who had a solemn expression on his face.

Xiao Qifeng looked into the distance and suddenly said, "Liu Qi, if it were you in this situation, what would you choose?"

Liu Qi responded: "No need to assume. For me, there is nothing in this world worth hesitating about."

Xiao Qifeng slowly glanced to the side, his deep eyes met Liu Qi's calm eyes, and then shook his head: "Everyone says that I, Xiao Qifeng, am obsessed with martial arts and have no distractions, but in my opinion, you, Liu Qi, are the only one in the world who can truly be so."

Liu Qi bowed and replied perfunctorily: "Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty."

"Xiao Qifeng!" Kong Sang couldn't help herself and asked solemnly, "I think you are planning to leave us all behind and put an end to it all!"

Xiao Qifeng didn't even look at Kong Sang, and replied calmly: "If you can kill two birds with one stone, why not do it!"

Kong Sang's body shuddered, and a look of vigilance suddenly appeared in her eyes. She quietly took two steps back, then moved her gaze to look at Liu Qi who was still calm, and then reminded him in a deep voice: "Liu Qi, you also heard what Xiao Qifeng said."

Liu Qi replied without hesitation: "Why should we be so nervous? Aren't we all hoping that the other party will die as soon as possible?"

"You!" Kongsang was speechless for a moment.

Liu Qi continued, "Fairy Kongsang, I think you don't need to hide anything now. Instead of following Gu Liancheng's example and timidly plotting behind the scenes, why not tell us everything you know and let's compete fairly. Whoever has the last laugh will depend on their own ability."

Kong Sang's face darkened instantly: "I don't understand what you are talking about?"

Liu Qi patiently replied: "The Great Qin Emperor had clearly gathered the Nine Cauldrons back then, so why did he fail in the end and die inexplicably?"

Kong Sang's eyes moved slightly, and she was about to explain how she knew that, but before the words came to her lips, she suddenly felt someone's gaze falling on her. She then looked back, only to see Xiao Qifeng had turned around and was looking at her thoughtfully.

Kong Sang weighed the pros and cons in his mind, and finally replied: "In fact, the answer is very simple. The Great Qin Emperor did not pass his own test."

Liu Qi asked: "What do you mean?"

Kong Sang explained in a deep voice: "I have told you before on the Kong Sang Immortal Boat that if you want to enter the realm of Zhiwei, you must master a state of mind. Otherwise, when your own true qi is infinitely close to the Yuanqi of heaven and earth, you will naturally assimilate with heaven and earth. If you want to retain your own independent consciousness between heaven and earth, you must use a supreme state of mind to counter the assimilation of heaven and earth to yourself. This supreme state of mind is the state of mind of a martial artist!"

Liu Qi turned around and stared at Kong Sang in silence, waiting for her to continue.

Kong Sang saw Liu Qi turning around, and her eyes instantly moved from Xiao Qifeng to him. Facing the gazes of the two great masters, even she, who was also a master, couldn't help but sweat profusely. She took a deep breath and continued:

"The original body of the Nine Cauldrons was a passage connecting heaven and earth. In ancient times, it was called the Road to Heaven. Although it was destroyed by the God of Water and the God of Fire, its physical body was destroyed, but its essence could not be completely destroyed just like the Yuan Qi of heaven and earth. Therefore, it could only be sealed with its own broken body and then hidden in the four corners of the Nine Provinces."

"After the Great Qin Emperor gathered the Nine Cauldrons and extracted their original power, he should have successfully opened the Road to Heaven, so the various schools of thought could easily find its hiding place. Because at that time, there should have been a great master Zhiwei among the various schools of thought, who could easily sense the location of the Road to Heaven."

“But judging from the fact that the Great Qin Emperor died suddenly in the end and there were no natural disasters in the world afterwards, the Great Qin Emperor did not die at the hands of others. It is most likely that he forcibly interrupted the road to heaven. Judging from the notes left by the leader of the Confucian School at that time, it was not the various schools of thought who rushed over to separate the Nine Cauldrons, but they happened to encounter the separation of the power of the Nine Cauldrons. Therefore, the Nine Cauldrons that exist in the world today are all carried by the people who were there at that time.”

Liu Qi pinched his chin and muttered to himself, "It has come to the last step. Why not continue? He would rather die than stop. Could it be that the Great Qin Emperor had a change of heart at the last moment and couldn't bear to see the people of the world suffer from natural disasters?"

Kong Sang shook his head solemnly: "Apart from his great achievements in unifying the nine provinces, the impression left by the Emperor of Qin to future generations is that he was cruel and merciless, extravagant, and indulged in luxury construction...

In short, he is a person who is famous in politics but despised by everyone for his personal morality.

Tyrannical Qin! Tyrannical Qin!
When mentioning the harsh criminal laws and the miserable lives of the people, people will naturally think of the short-lived empire established by the Qin Emperor who unified the nine provinces.

Thinking of this, Liu Qi collected his thoughts and continued to look at Kong Sang.

Kong Sang frowned slightly: "Why are you looking at me? I have already told you everything I know."

Liu Qi didn't believe it: "What on earth are you looking for in the capital?"

Kong Sang frowned even more tightly. She silently moved her eyes to glance at Xiao Qifeng. Seeing that he was staring at her straight ahead, she could only sigh helplessly, "The Tianji Stone from Jinshan Yinhai Manor was only brought to the capital to try my luck. I thought the Tianji Stone would be in Xiao Lang's hands, so I made a special trip to the capital."

Liu Qi asked with a playful look on his face: "You don't even care about the Imperial Seal, so why are you so persistent about the Heavenly Secret Stone?"

Kong Sang replied calmly, "Because the Heavenly Secret Stone is the only one among the current Nine Cauldrons that uses the original Nine Cauldrons as its host, which means that the Heavenly Secret Stone itself was part of the Road to Heaven back then. Only by using it can we wash away the marks left by others in the other Nine Cauldrons, thus opening the Road to Heaven!"

Liu Qi had an expression that said, "As expected, if I don't force you to tell me today, I'm afraid you would keep it a secret until the end."

Kong Sang replied calmly, "This is not a secret at all. Your Majesty has known it for a long time. No matter who opens the road to heaven, you, me and others will all be standing at the same starting point in the end, unless... someone kills all the top masters in the world before opening the road to heaven."

Actually, what Kong Sang said was a bit conservative, because once the road to heaven is opened, the heaven and earth primordial qi will be more active than ever before. At that time, almost everyone's cultivation will increase at a terrifying speed, especially those geniuses who have mastered the realm of mind, although their cultivation is not high. It is very likely that they will ascend to the top in a short period of time with the help of the abundant and active heaven and earth primordial qi...

It's a pity that such a miracle will not last too long, because once someone takes the first step on the road to heaven, the active Yuan Qi of heaven and earth will become the most deadly weapon, and the Yuan Qi of the entire heaven and earth will madly gather towards one person. All the masters above the first-rate will personally experience the pain of having their true Qi drained out of their bodies bit by bit like sucking out the marrow.

On the contrary, people who practice martial arts but have mediocre internal strength will not suffer too much pain.

As for ordinary people who don't know any martial arts at all, although they cannot directly feel the pain of the Yuan Qi of Heaven and Earth being extracted from their bodies, as the already scarce Yuan Qi of Heaven and Earth disappears from their bodies, their physical condition will also become weaker, and all kinds of common minor ailments will suddenly become serious illnesses that can take their lives.

Of course, what awaits them next is... natural disasters!
What is the end of the world? This is the end of the world!

The ultimate sublimation of a person requires a world to be buried with him!
Liu Qi suddenly felt a surge of emotion, this was the ultimate in martial arts that she had been pursuing, it was much better than the so-called immortality!
Rumbling--

There seemed to be muffled thunder rolling in the distant sky.

The three people in front of the Golden Throne Hall turned their heads at the same time, and almost at the same time felt a familiar breath rapidly fading.

"Jiang Xuanyun was defeated." Xiao Qifeng said calmly, as if he was talking about an insignificant matter.

Kongsang's face was solemn, his eyes sometimes flickered and sometimes deep, and no one knew what he was thinking.

Only Liu Qi looked into the distance, with a hint of regret in his eyes.

Although she was almost killed by Jiang Xuanyun's sword last time, Liu Qi did not feel happy about the fight. So in her mind, she had not really competed with Jiang Xuanyun once, nor had she truly experienced the Jueling sword intent, which was known as the best sword in the world!

After a brief silence, Liu Qi's eyes suddenly brightened, and then he flashed out and flew towards the blue sky.

"Liu Qi..." Kong Sang saw Liu Qi suddenly move. When she was about to speak, a figure suddenly walked past her. She immediately closed her mouth and then moved to the side with a vigilant look on her face.

Xiao Qifeng walked past Kong Sang, looked up at the direction where Liu Qi left, a trace of regret flashed across his eyes, and then he said to himself: "What a pity, she got there first."

……

Liu Qi flew through the air at high speed, passing through most of the capital, and finally an empty flat land appeared at the end of her sight. Whoosh!
Liu Qi sped up and rushed over, then his feet slowly landed on the loose soil.

When she stood still, she first lowered her eyes to look down at her feet, then looked around and found that the soil within a few miles seemed to have been turned over. She glanced at the sparse woods at the edge of the flat ground, silently withdrew her gaze, and looked at the hunched figure twenty steps in front of her.

Jiang Xuanyun was still wearing the coarse Taoist robe. His legs were buried in the soil up to his knees. His hands were hidden in his wide cuffs and hung at his sides. Half of a long sword extended from his right sleeve.

Liu Qi's eyes fell on the half-broken sword, and then he said slowly: "It seems that you did not lose to Gu Liancheng... This is very good."

Jiang Xuanyun, who had his back to Liu Qi, slowly turned his head. When he caught a glimpse of Liu Qi from the corner of his eye, a faint bitter smile immediately appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Seeing that Miss Liu is safe and sound, a stone in my heart has finally fallen to the ground."

Liu Qi remained silent, but lowered his eyes to glance at the position of the sword in his heart.

The stinky bull nose now has a compassionate attitude, but the sword he stabbed was really fierce at the beginning!

Canglang——

Without saying much, she directly pulled out the short knife from her waist, then slightly turned her wrist, and the cold light from the blade immediately fell on Jiang Xuanyun.

"You're going to die anyway."

"Why not fight me? Maybe I can find someone to take with me before I die."

Liu Qi said calmly.

Jiang Xuanyun was not surprised at all when he heard this. He moved his body somewhat stiffly, and his feet that were stuck in the soil actually turned around.

The two stood facing each other, and Jiang Xuanyun slowly raised his slightly cloudy eyes. When their eyes met, Jiang Xuanyun's eyes were already shining, and his hunched body exuded a terrifying aura, and a sharp aura spread out from under his feet...

Rumble…

Liu Qi felt the vibration coming from under his feet, as if there was a giant beast rolling and roaring deep underground.

The violent tremor instantly swept across the capital city like a wave. The majestic city walls cracked with a series of crackling sounds, and countless cracked lines extended in all directions like spider webs.

"Miss Liu... Although my time is coming to an end, I still have the strength of a sword." Jiang Xuanyun looked at Liu Qi and said slowly, "Have you thought it over? Do you really want to take this sword from me?"

"Stop talking nonsense and get started." Liu Qi's answer was brief and to the point.

Before she finished her words, a vast aura gushed out from behind her, and in an instant a pale shadow more than ten feet tall condensed behind her.

As the shadow appeared, the already cold air almost froze on the spot, and waves of invisible pressure spread out. Wherever the pressure spread, flowers, plants, and trees were instantly turned into dust...

Shila——

Hearing a slight tearing sound, Jiang Xuanyun couldn't help but lower his eyes to look, only to see that the sleeve of the hand holding the sword had been torn, revealing his right hand, which was as dry as a bone and tightly grasping the hilt of the sword.

woohoo hoo...

The wind whistled, and the scattered white hair on his temples danced wildly in the wind, blocking Jiang Xuanyun's sight. His eyes were deep, showing a solemnity he had never had before. As the five fingers of his right hand tightened, an invisible aura instantly poured into the sword...

boom--

A loud noise like the end of the world exploded in my ears.

Liu Qi raised his eyes silently, and saw the ground in front of him suddenly cracked and collapsed.

Zheng——

Her crystal clear earlobe trembled slightly, and she keenly caught the sword chant hidden under the loud noise. Then she held the sword in front of her, and the shadow behind her made the same gesture. A white arc of light suddenly condensed in front of her.

when!
A crisp sound tore through the sky.

Liu Qi's eyes suddenly focused, and she saw half of a sword suddenly sticking out from the dust in front of her. She leaned forward slightly, and the blade light followed. The moment it touched the broken sword, the white blade light was easily cut by the broken sword like tofu, and then hit the blade hard.

Click!

The Cang Hai Juan Yun Sword trembled violently, and Liu Qi's eyes narrowed suddenly when he heard the crisp sound.

boom!
A slender figure flashed backwards like an arrow, and the huge pale shadow collapsed as well.

boom!boom!boom……

Liu Qi retreated all the way to the woods a mile away, until she crashed into countless trees, and finally stopped in mid-air. Her eyes slowly fell down, and the short knife in her hand was firmly pressed against her lower abdomen, with half of the broken sword pressed against the blade...

Clang!

The broken sword fell suddenly.

Liu Qi's body relaxed and he slowly fell to the ground.

She slowly lowered the dagger to her side, then looked up and saw a huge deep pit in front of her, with a hunched figure standing in the middle.

call--

A breeze blew past his face, and Jiang Xuanyun's Taoist robe swayed gently. He lowered his head, closed his eyes, and had a relieved smile on the corner of his mouth.

The breeze blew over Liu Qi, and a strand of her black hair fluttered in the wind.

Bang bang bang...

Liu Qi suddenly felt his hand loosen, and immediately looked sideways, only to see that there was only a piece of the knife handle left in his right hand, and broken blades were scattered all over the ground at his feet.

Jiang Xuanyun, died.

The Cang Hai Juan Yun Sword, shattered!
