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

Chapter 403 Can’t Die

Liu Qi's gaze lingered on the hilt of the knife in her hand until she heard a rustling sound. She immediately looked in the direction of the sound and saw the figure in the center of the deep pit dissipating in the wind. It disappeared in just a few breaths.

A great master just passed away like that.

Zhou Weiyang, Jiang Xuanyun...

They rode their horses across the rivers and lakes and slashed through mountains with their swords. Perhaps their glory in life was so great that it blocked out the sun and the sky. But once they died, not even a trace of dust was left behind.

Liu Qi narrowed her eyes slightly and subconsciously wanted to sheath the knife, but as the handle lightly touched the scabbard, the discomfort in her hand made her suddenly realize it. Then she silently took the handle in front of her, looked at it indifferently, and then just held it in her hand and turned away.

Liu Qi did not choose to use Qinggong to go back, but strode leisurely on the desolate path towards the city gate.

Just when the towering outer wall of the capital city came into view at the end of the line of sight, a familiar figure suddenly appeared in the middle of the road in the distance.

When Liu Qi saw the person coming, his eyes narrowed slightly, but his pace did not slow down at all. When he was about twenty steps away from the other person, he suddenly raised his hand and threw something at him.

"Your knife was destroyed by Old Niu Bizi." Liu Qi stopped and said to Xiao Qifeng.

Xiao Qifeng took the knife handle thrown by Liu Qi. Looking at the missing blade, his face remained calm. After a brief glance, he suddenly threw it back.

Whoosh!
Liu Qi suddenly raised his right arm in front of his eyes, and his right hand had already firmly grasped the hilt of the Cang Hai Juan Yun Sword near the left temple.

Xiao Qifeng said at the right time: "This sword is not from the Xiao family, and I am not from the Xiao family..."

Xiao Qifeng paused for a moment, then continued: "You should return it to the other person."

Liu Qi knew without even thinking that the other person Xiao Qifeng was talking about was Zhou Mi.

That’s right, the Canghai Juanyun Sword is the family treasure passed down from generation to generation in the Canghai clan.

Besides, it was Zhou Mi who gave this sword to Xiao Lang, thus establishing the century-old foundation of Da Qi. Now the blade is broken... To use an inappropriate word, it is time for the soul to return to its hometown.

but……

Liu Qi suddenly pursed his lips and stretched out his left hand towards Xiao Qifeng: "Give me back my Jingji Knife!"

Before he finished speaking, Liu Qi looked unabashedly at the short knife hanging on Xiao Qifeng's waist, which was the Jingji Knife that Liu Qi once carried.

Since leaving Xiliu Villa, Jingji Dao has witnessed almost all of Liu Qi's experiences. It can be said that Jingji Dao has almost become synonymous with Liu Qi in the martial arts world.

Before this, she followed suit and left the Jingji Sword to Lin Shengchuan for self-defense. Relying on the sword intent specially left in the sword, she successfully lured Xiao Qifeng, and the Jingji Sword naturally fell into his hands.

The reason why he didn't ask Xiao Qifeng for it before was mainly because the Cang Hai Juan Yun Sword was still in Liu Qi's hands. If he asked Xiao Qifeng for it and didn't return the Cang Hai Juan Yun Sword, it would seem a bit too overbearing.

The second is that with Liu Qi's current level of cultivation, he is not restricted by what kind of sword he uses. Whether it is the Cang Hai Juan Yun Sword or the Jing Ji Sword, they are both the same type of short swords and there is not much difference in using them. In addition, kings do not meet each other, so Liu Qi was too lazy to go to Xiao Qifeng to argue about this matter.

It's different now.

Now that the Cang Hai Juan Yun Sword is gone, what can she use?

Liu Qi stretched out his hand with confidence. Xiao Qifeng subconsciously followed Liu Qi's gaze and looked down at his waist. Without any hesitation, he took off the Jingji Knife from his waist and threw it over.

Seeing this, Liu Qi slightly bent his five fingers, and as the strong wind from his palms rushed towards the short knife in the air, the Jingji Knife was instantly pulled into Liu Qi's palm.

"Thank you!" Feeling a familiar feeling in the palm of his hand, Liu Qi hung the dagger on his waist, then thanked Xiao Qifeng carelessly, and walked straight forward.

The two figures crossed each other, and the atmosphere around them solidified. An invisible pressure instantly filled the space between heaven and earth.

Da da da……

Liu Qi's face remained calm as he casually walked past Xiao Qifeng and then moved away from him step by step.

After a moment, Xiao Qifeng, who had been standing still, turned his head silently and looked at Liu Qi, whose figure had become blurred in the distance. Then, a trace of emotion finally showed on his face.

……

Boom, boom, boom...

Liu Qi's footsteps gradually became heavier, but her speed did not slow down at all. The city wall in front of her became clearer and clearer. Liu Qi could even see the strong and powerful handwriting on the city gate.

at last!

When he was about two hundred steps away from the city gate, Liu Qi finally felt the invisible pressure behind him fade away instantly.

She stopped immediately, and then a trace of blood slowly flowed from the corner of her mouth.

Liu Qi wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand, looked down at the scarlet blood stain on the back of his hand, and couldn't help but let out a long sigh: "Huh..."

The Jueling sword energy is indeed worthy of its reputation!

"What on earth does Xiao Qifeng want to do by making this special trip? Does he want to reap the benefits?" Liu Qi couldn't help but mutter.

When the two met just now, Xiao Qifeng had the idea of ​​finding out her background and he put it into action.

However, Xiao Qifeng's idea did not seem to be firm. After his breath touched Liu Qi, it was quickly withdrawn after a slight obstruction. So for a moment, Liu Qi was a little confused about the purpose of Xiao Qifeng's visit.

If she wanted to reap the benefits, she could just take action directly. Why bother to test it first? She could tell with her toes that it was impossible for her, Liu Qi, to escape unscathed from the battle with Jiang Xuanyun.

In fact, it seems that there is a volcano ready to erupt inside Liu Qi's body. Jiang Xuanyun's Jueling sword energy is like the magma hidden underground. If Liu Qi cannot dissolve the sword energy in his body, this battle may not have come to its true end!

At this moment, a hot current flowed out of Liu Qi's nose, and then a fishy and sweet smell rushed into his nose. Liu Qi quickly covered his mouth and nose, and then cursed in a low voice: "Gan!"

……

"what!"

"The Cang Hai Juan Yun Sword is broken!"

Zhou Mi slammed the table and stood up. After seeing the bare handle of the knife, she could no longer maintain her usual graceful and dignified demeanor.

"I thought you didn't care. After all, you just gave it away hundreds of years ago." Liu Qi replied in a muffled voice, looking up. Her mouth and nose were covered with a wet white towel, the edges of which had been dyed red.

"It's a gift, but now it..." Zhou Mi picked up the handle and turned it over with some distress, as if recalling the original appearance of the Cang Hai Juan Yun Knife, "How could it break!" Zhou Mi's sighs echoed in the room. Liu Qi waved at him impatiently, signaling him not to make any more noise: "Don't sigh, it gives me a headache!"

Zhou Mi was furious when he heard this: "Your headache is because of my sighing, but you are just being stubborn and insisting on fighting to the death with Jiang Xuanyun. Last time, he didn't want to fight seriously. Now you know the taste of Jueling Sword Qi!"

Liu Qi slowly moved his eyes to look at the angry Zhou Mi, and then said calmly: "He is dead, and I am alive."

tick tock...

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly felt a warm current flowing out of his ears. As the sound of dripping came, Liu Qi closed his mouth helplessly.

"Ahhh..." Liu Nineteen, who had just been holding a basin of hot water, saw blood gushing from Liu Qi's ears and suddenly made an ear-piercing explosion!
Half an hour later, Liu Qi sat cross-legged on the soft couch in the room, her waist hunched and her head drooped, exuding a decadent aura. It was not until she heard footsteps at the door that she slowly raised her head, revealing a lifeless face and bloodshot eyes.

"Little sister!" Xu Qinghuai, who had just stepped over the threshold and walked in, was so frightened when he saw Liu Qi's face that he almost froze in place.

But he soon reacted, a complicated look appeared on his face, and then he walked in silently, walked to Liu Qi and stood in front of him. After a brief silence, he asked in a hoarse voice: "Little sister, are you... okay?"

"I won't die!" Liu Qi replied with full energy, "All my internal organs are damaged, and none of my eight extraordinary meridians are intact. Hehehe... Jiang Xuanyun's Jue Ling sword energy is indeed extraordinary. I haven't felt this much pain in a long time!"

Liu Qi even chuckled twice while speaking, but when Xu Qinghuai heard the laughter, he just felt a little chilly.

When Xu Qinghuai thought that the head master whom he had always respected would die at the hands of his own sister, he felt quite uncomfortable. He didn't know how to face Liu Qi. All the speeches he had prepared before coming here were thrown out of his mind at this moment.

"What are you doing here?" Liu Qi asked, staring at him.

Xu Qinghuai was awakened by Liu Qi's words. He immediately looked serious, and then gritted his teeth and looked back at Liu Qi: "Little sister, what do you want to do? Even the head master died in your hands. Are you really going to make an enemy of the world?"

"Why are you panicking..." Liu Qi replied calmly, "Now Xiao Qifeng hasn't said anything, and why should I be afraid of making enemies with the whole world? Is there anyone in the world who is more powerful than Xiao Qifeng and Jiang Xuanyun, or are they... not afraid of death?"

Xu Qinghuai felt that Liu Qi's eyes were a little creepy when he heard this. He looked away nervously and whispered, "I came here to tell you that the epidemic in the capital is getting worse and worse. The court may not be able to control it. It is said that the epidemic has also broken out in the military camp. Now there are no soldiers stationed on the streets in the west of the city!"

Liu Qi's eyes flickered when he heard this, and then he asked softly, "Are you still living in the original Liu Mansion?"

Xu Qinghuai nodded.

Liu Qi thought for a moment, then said: "Come and stay with me. Although I am not completely sure, it still gives you a glimmer of hope."

There was a flash of emotion in Xu Qinghuai's eyes, but it was obvious that he did not come here to seek a chance of survival.

"Little sister, I came to see you just to ask you one thing. What is going on with this evil plague in the capital?" Xu Qinghuai straightened up and said resolutely, "Why did Xiao Qifeng trap everyone here? Could it be that he wants to watch us die one by one from the evil plague?"

Liu Qi replied calmly: "Don't bother to find out the reason. This evil epidemic is not aimed at you. The reason why Xiao Qifeng trapped the capital is not because he is cruel and ruthless. On the contrary, he is too indecisive."

As he spoke, Liu Qi looked over Xu Qinghuai's head and towards the blue sky outside the door, then he whispered, "The sea is turbulent... How long can you hold on?"

Xu Qinghuai finally rejected Liu Qi's proposal. After exchanging a few words with Liu Qi, he set off back to the capital.

When he returned to the former Liu Mansion, he found the door open, but the house was empty and the Qingcheng disciples who had originally lived there had left without saying goodbye.

Xu Qinghuai looked around with a serious expression, and when he found no signs of a fight, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. But then he realized that he had been abandoned by his fellow disciples, and a bitter smile appeared on his face.

There were not many Qingcheng disciples who came to the capital together. Including Xu Qinghuai, there were only seven people in total.

When the news of Jiang Xuanyun's death came, the other Qingcheng disciples began to isolate Xu Qinghuai intentionally or unintentionally, because everyone knew that Liu Qi was Xu Qinghuai's long-lost sister Xu Fangfu.

"Why, fellow disciples left without saying goodbye."

Xu Qinghuai, who was sitting dejectedly on the steps in front of the door, suddenly heard a hoarse but familiar voice in his ears. He was startled and turned his head to see Liu Qi, who was wearing a moon-white dress, standing in front of him, looking at him indifferently.

"Little sister..." Xu Qinghuai's Adam's apple rolled as he was about to speak.

Liu Qi interrupted him mercilessly: "The south of the city has almost become a dead city now. Not to mention ordinary people, even first-rate masters will die on the spot if they are infected by the miasma emitted by those dead people. At this rate, I'm afraid that in less than a month, the entire capital will fall!"

Xu Qinghuai stood up and asked solemnly, "Is there really no solution to this evil epidemic?"

"If there was a way, Xiao Qifeng would not have resorted to such a desperate measure." Liu Qi replied calmly.

A full half month had passed since her battle with Jiang Xuanyun.

During this half month, Xiao Qifeng did not sit idly by. He gathered all the doctors and practitioners who remained in the capital, trying to find a way to deal with the epidemic, but now it seems that there is no effect.

Thinking of this, Liu Qi raised his eyes and looked towards the direction of the imperial palace.

Shen Ying has been in the palace for more than ten days. Although she is young, she is knowledgeable and experienced after all. For this vicious epidemic that is obviously caused by underworld means, Shen Ying, this little girl, may be more useful than those old doctors with gray beards.

Liu Qi collected his thoughts, and then said to Xu Qinghuai in a deep voice: "Follow me into the palace."

Although Xu Qinghuai didn't understand why Liu Qi wanted to enter the palace at this time, he quickly nodded in agreement.

No matter what, as long as Liu Qi is willing to take action, it will always be a good thing!
……

In the palace.

In a quiet courtyard, Shen Ying held her chin up and stared blankly ahead.

"The person who tied the bell must untie it. As long as we find the source of the epidemic, we will naturally find a way to deal with it." Shen Ying murmured in a low voice.

But the key to the problem lies in how to find the source of the epidemic.

They don't even know how this evil plague came about.

Thinking of the current predicament, Shen Ying's face instantly frowned and looked worried. Just as she was about to bury her head with a dejected look on her face, a familiar figure suddenly appeared in front of her.

"Sister Liu!" Shen Ying jumped up excitedly.

The doctors who were resting in the courtyard were all awakened and followed the sound, only to see Shen Ying chatting with a stunningly beautiful woman.

The woman had a pitch-black dagger hanging from her waist.
