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

Chapter 409 Puppet
Liu Qi in the underground palace did not know that Gu Liancheng had arrived. Due to the overwhelming vitality of this place, it was inconvenient for her to use her true Qi to check the surrounding situation. Therefore, she could only use the most primitive method to find Tianxiang's trace.

As the immortal palace prepared in advance by the former Emperor of Qin for his future ascension to heaven, the architecture and layout of the entire underground palace highlight a grand and majestic atmosphere.

The area of ​​the places that Liu Qi has already set foot on is comparable to that of the Imperial Palace of Da Qi.

The entire underground palace was built along the roots of the sacred tree. If such a huge project were only dug with manpower, it would take an unknown amount of time to complete.

Moreover, the roots of these sacred trees also serve to support the entire underground palace, so despite thousands of years of vicissitudes, there has never been any wear and tear on them.

It was not until Liu Qi and Liu Er stood in front of a long and narrow passage that the entire underground palace suddenly began to shake violently. At the same time, the tranquil vitality around them suddenly became manic.

For a moment, Liu Er felt the blood in his body surging wildly and his heart almost jumped out of his throat.

hum-

There was no time to care too much at this moment. The icy aura gushed out from Liu Qi's body and instantly turned into an invisible barrier that enveloped the two of them.

"What's going on?" Liu Er looked around in panic, like a frightened bird.

Liu Qi's eyes darkened as he looked at the long and deep passage ahead, and then he asked in a deep voice, "It seems like we haven't heard footsteps for a long time."

"What footsteps?" Liu Er was stunned as if waking up from a dream, and then asked anxiously, "You mean... the footsteps of the Emperor of Heaven?"

Ever since the two of them ran into the patrolling "Emperor of Heaven" in the underground palace, they could always hear the heavy and powerful footsteps of the "Emperor of Heaven", echoing in their ears from near or far.

But about a quarter of an hour ago, the footsteps suddenly disappeared.

Liu Qi didn't feel any unusual changes in the surrounding aura, so he naturally didn't take it to heart.

As for Liu Er, he had already been frightened by the sound of footsteps. Naturally, he wished he could not hear the footsteps that made him feel uncomfortable!

But now thinking back, all the changes may have happened just a quarter of an hour ago!
"what--"

Suddenly, a terrifying roar was heard from the passage ahead. The sound waves swept in instantly along with the sharp wind, so mighty that it seemed as if it was going to tear Liu Qi and the other person in the passage into pieces.

when!when!when!when!
There was no emotion on Liu Qi's face or in his eyes. The moment the sound wave hit him, it was as if he had hit an invisible wall. Suddenly, a piercing buzzing sound rang in his ears. Invisible ripples bloomed in front of Liu Qi, but disappeared without a trace in an instant.

Geek!

Liu Qi's heart trembled, and then he looked in the direction where the sound waves came from. It seemed that a pair of eyes in the deep passage were locking onto him.

The light blue color lingered in front of Liu Qi, appearing and disappearing, and the ripples seemed to lift the shimmering water surface.

"call--"

She slowly exhaled a breath of foul air, and then said without looking back: "The aura in the underground palace has begun to become violent, and now the state of mind controlling the underground palace has been replaced by an unknown strong man."

Liu Er, who had been hiding behind Liu Qi, quietly looked ahead upon hearing this. After finding that there was no unusual movement, he asked cautiously, "Unknown strong man...what do you mean?"

Only humans possess the power of emotions, which is the original form of artistic conception.

The underground palace controlled by the "sacred tree" only possesses majestic and pure vitality, but now this vitality already contains a hint of tyranny.

This aura was not the first time Liu Qi had seen it.

At present, this underground palace may have welcomed back its former "owner"!
boom!
Just a few miles away from Liu Qi, at the end of the passage, in a closed mausoleum, the black sarcophagus that occupied most of the mausoleum shattered, and countless pieces of gravel burst out, while the two figures in front of the sarcophagus retreated repeatedly, dodging the gravel in a somewhat embarrassed manner.

cluster!
Suddenly a stream of blood gushed out of his body, and then his figure paused slightly. In a flash, another figure flashed and stood in front of this person. A Bagua pattern flashed in front of his body, blocking a piece of gravel that was flying towards him.

Wow! !

A piece of rubble half the size of a person hit the Bagua and was instantly shattered into pieces, turning into a rain of stones that scattered all over the ground.

The two of them also landed.

"Wo Hu, are you okay?" asked a slender middle-aged Taoist priest, his eyes fixed on the place where the sarcophagus had just been. There stood a figure, shrouded in thick black fog.

Looking at the black fog that was constantly rolling around him, the middle-aged Taoist couldn't help but blink, and then without waiting for the person behind him to reply, he hurriedly said: "Something is wrong..."

boom!
Before he could finish his words, a powerful and violent aura gushed out from the black shadow.

boom!
The stone wall above the mausoleum was instantly pierced, and countless pieces of rubble fell like rain.

The two Taoists turned around and hid. Seeing that there was no place to stay in the mausoleum, they could only jump out of the mausoleum gate.

Just as they landed in front of the door, the Taoist priest with a burly figure could not help but move two steps inside the door. Just as one of his feet was about to step into the mausoleum, he was stopped by a Taoist priest with a slender figure beside him.

"Senior Brother Baihe, Tianxiang is still inside!" said Master Wohu with a serious expression.

The Taoist priest called Senior Brother Baihe looked at the right leg of Crouching Tiger Immortal upon hearing this, and saw that his entire right leg from the fist above the knee down was stained with blood, and at the position of the fist above the knee, there was a bloody hole as big as a baby's fist.

As if he had sensed his brother's gaze, Crouching Tiger Master looked down at the injury on his leg with a calm expression, then shook his head: "Brother, I'm fine, let's find a way to rescue Tianxiang."

"Roar--"

A heart-shaking roar suddenly erupted from the mausoleum.

Upon hearing this, the faces of Master Baihe and Master Wohu changed drastically.

The two looked at each other and saw deep worry in each other's eyes.

Originally, he thought that as long as the power of the Nine Cauldrons in Tianxiang's body was transferred back to the Great Qin Emperor, the impending catastrophe could be prevented.

But the current situation... no matter how you look at it, it looks like a catastrophe is about to happen.

"Senior Brother!" Master Crouching Tiger's expression lightened slightly, and then he looked at Master White Crane with a serious expression.

Master Bai He glanced at the gate of the mausoleum with complicated eyes, and then said resolutely: "We will go first, to protect..."

Whoosh!
Before he finished his words, a beam of black light suddenly flashed out from the gate of the mausoleum.

Zhenren Baihe's pupils instantly widened, and then the green Bagua pattern in front of him suddenly condensed.

boom!
The black light hit the Bagua fiercely. There was a muffled sound, and a surging air wave swept out instantly. Even Zhenren Wohu, who was standing next to Zhenren Baihe, could not resist this air wave. His body swept backwards uncontrollably until his back hit the wall heavily.

Click!

Master Crouching Tiger, who had just stopped, was trying hard to suppress the fishy and sweet taste that had already risen to his throat. When he was about to look up, a crisp sound rang in his ears. His pupils trembled instantly, and then he saw the Bagua in front of his senior brother collapse!

At the moment when the Eight Diagrams collapsed, Master Baihe's face suddenly showed a distorted expression, and then his body leaped up on the spot at a speed that was difficult to see with the naked eye. Whoosh!
Just like that, after the black light broke through the Bagua, it passed by the drooping corners of Taoist Master Baihe's clothes. Even so, the strong wind brought by the black light still tore the corners of the Taoist robe into pieces.

Taoist Master Bai He landed slowly on the ground, his face ashen as he glanced quickly at the missing corner of his Taoist robe.

"Senior Brother." True Man Crouching Tiger also came to the side of True Man White Crane. After calling him "Senior Brother" in a deep voice, he stared at the place where the black light stopped.

The moment the black light stopped, a figure wrapped in the black light was revealed.

He wore a crown and a black dragon robe, and was tall and strong. He exuded an aura of authority without anger, and his every move was full of domineering power that could sweep across the world!
When he slowly turned around, Master Baihe and Master Wohu saw the pair of dark eyes, and they couldn't help but tremble in their hearts. A chill surged up from the bottom of their hearts like a tide.

"The Great Qin Emperor..." The voice of Master Baihe was low and carried a hint of vicissitudes and bitterness. He pursed his dry lips, then walked out slowly and stood in front of his junior brother Master Wohu.

"Crouching Tiger, while I am holding the Emperor of Heaven hostage, you should leave here immediately and go find Junior Sister Huang Li. Tell her that my plan was wrong and that we might have gotten into a big disaster!"

Master Baihe tried his best to lower his voice. Master Crouching Tiger was shocked when he heard this. He couldn't help but reach out and grab Master Baihe's sleeve, saying firmly: "Brother, go ahead. I'll stop him!"

A gentle stream of true energy emanated from True Man Baihe, skillfully deflecting True Man Crouching Tiger's hand and forcing True Man Crouching Tiger to retreat two steps.

"Hurry up and go. If you don't leave now, you and I will have to stay here." Master Baihe took a deep breath, and as his eyes gradually became serious, he raised his eyes and looked towards the Great Qin Emperor.

The Great Qin Emperor did not make any movement, just standing there quietly, one of his hands hanging naturally at his side, the other hand resting on the hilt of the sword at his waist, no expression could be seen in his dark eyes.

But as True Man Baihe looked at him intently, the Emperor of Qin seemed to sense something.

"Squeak-"

He turned his neck stiffly, and his dark pupils met the gaze of Master Baihe.

Cang——

A long sound echoed in his ears, and the Great Qin Emperor slowly drew out the long sword from his waist. As the lingering black light faded away, the bronze sword body suddenly appeared in the sight of True Man Baihe.

The sword body is very long and the blade is much wider than that of an ordinary long sword.

Master Baihe couldn't help but reveal a complicated expression as he looked at the sword covered with inscriptions.

No one knows what the sword of the former Qin Emperor was originally named, but it was given the name "backhand sword" because of a well-known story.

A thousand years later, facing the Qin Emperor holding the royal sword, Master Bai He finally understood why the assassin who failed on the verge of success was hailed as the greatest assassin of ancient and modern times.

He exhaled deeply, and stared at the tall figure of the Emperor of Heaven, and the majestic aura behind him that was like a sea of ​​stars...

……

Tick, tick, tick...

When Liu Qi arrived in front of the mausoleum, he looked up and saw a figure in front of him with his back to him, and heard a sound like dripping water.

She narrowed her eyes slightly, and saw that the Taoist robe on the man looked very familiar, and then asked softly: "Niubizi, what are you doing here?"

She sniffed and smelled the strong smell of blood in the air.

Da da da……

At this moment, the man in Taoist robes slowly turned around with staggering steps.

As the opponent's front was exposed to Liu Qi's sight, Liu Qi's eyes narrowed slightly, and then the true energy in his body was quietly released.

"Heaven...Emperor..." Master Baihe's bloodless lips opened and closed slightly, but his tone was intermittent and his words were unclear, so it was impossible to hear what he was saying.

Liu Qi's attention was entirely focused on his heart, where a blood flower was blooming.

Liu Qi looked at the completely unfamiliar face of the other person and thought that this person should be the White Crane Master of Qingcheng.

There were three people from the Qingcheng Sect who brought Tianxiang here. Huang Li and Wohu Liu Qi had already met them, but they had never seen Baihe Zhenren who seldom appeared in the martial arts world.

I didn't expect that we would be separated by death after our first meeting.

Liu Qi gathered his thoughts and immediately walked towards the mausoleum in front. The moment he took a step, Master Baihe seemed to become irritable, and his originally stiff limbs suddenly became flexible.

hold head high--

Just when Liu Qi was about to cross paths with him, a green Bagua suddenly condensed in front of Master Bai He.

Liu Qi kept walking, his eyes focused, and a green light suddenly appeared in front of him, instantly devouring Bagua and Master Baihe.

Liu Qi quietly walked out from the green light and slowly walked towards the gate of the mausoleum.

Da da da……

At this moment, Liu Qi heard a familiar sound of footsteps. She stopped immediately and turned back slowly. She caught a glimpse of Master Baihe, who had collapsed on the ground, standing up again in a strange posture like a puppet.

Liu Qi's eyes were calm. He had already seen clearly that the vitality gathering from all directions of the underground palace turned into strands of silk and flowed into the body of Master Baihe, replenishing his rapidly fading vitality. In less than five breaths, Master Baihe suddenly raised his eyes and looked at Liu Qi, his eyes full of brilliance, and then with a "whoosh", he leaped over.

"Dust to dust, ashes to ashes." Liu Qi murmured, and then his right hand quietly rested on the hilt of the knife at his waist.

Canglang!

The blade light came out in response.

The first arc of light slashed out at an angle, and just as it was getting close to the rapidly approaching figure of Master Baihe, the arc of light suddenly dispersed, passed around the figure, and severed the invisible thread connecting it.

The second blade light swept out and went straight into the body of Master Baihe.

Boom!Boom!Boom!
The moment the blade entered his body, Master Baihe's figure paused for a moment, and then he took a few steps forward by inertia.

Zheng——

Until he was less than five steps in front of Liu Qi, a buzzing sound suddenly came out of his body, and then countless sword lights overflowed from his body. In the destructive sword light, True Man Baihe instantly turned into nothingness.

Bang!

The moment the figure in front of him disappeared, Liu Qi sheathed his sword, turned around silently and walked towards the mausoleum.
