Myriad Paths

The sergeant stopped.

The man in front of me... his eyes were terrifying.

Ordinary people will most likely be afraid and regretful before they die.

But few people are so vicious.

He seemed to see a dying beast. Even if it was covered in blood, it would bite the enemy one last time before it died.

Sure enough... only this kind of person is the most dangerous.

Xiaoqi's death was not unjust.

but--

The sergeant's eyes narrowed, he wanted to avenge Xiao Qi.

Holding the long knife, he dragged his broken leg and limped towards Li Qi.

"You bitch...you bitch." He kept insulting, as if this could make him ignore Li Qi's eyes and the long knife full of evil spirit in his hand.

And Li Qi did not waver at all.

In the dark mountain forest, one was too exhausted to move, and the other fell from the cliff and was seriously injured.

The lonely moon hangs high, reflecting the two long knives shining brightly.

"Drink——!" Finally, the sergeant shouted and sprinted with his broken leg!

The exposed bone stubble made a harsh squeaking sound, and it was hard to imagine what kind of pain it felt like.

But such pain caused Li Qi to be caught off guard.

Li Qi never expected that the opponent could charge with a broken leg. He was already exhausted, and it took all his strength just to hold the knife. Faced with such a charge, he didn't react for a moment.

However, after all, Li Qi's body had been washed away by the spiritual energy. At this time, the incident happened suddenly. He was caught off guard for a moment, but he still adjusted his posture immediately.

Instead of avoiding, he held the knife in both hands, squeezed out the last bit of strength from his body with trembling hands, and raised the knife.

The charge cannot be stopped easily.

The sergeant gritted his teeth, widened his eyes, and reluctantly turned his body sideways, but still thrust the long knife into Li Qi's body.

The blade of the knife penetrated the flesh, and there was a pop.

He was stabbed directly by Li Qi.

But at the same time, Li Qi's knife also pierced the opponent.

Even if he is wearing armor.

But the officer's knife was extremely sharp and easily penetrated the armor.

After stabbing each other's body, the two men let go of the sword in unison.

Although Li Qidao was sharp, he did not have the strength to stir inside the opponent's body.

Although the sergeant still had strength, his knife was not sharp enough and was stuck in Li Qi's ribs. For a while, he could not stir or pull it out.

Therefore, both of them let go at the same time and abandoned their swords.

Then, they hugged each other.

They did not forgive each other, but they bit each other with their teeth, using their only remaining, most primitive weapons, which were their teeth and jaws, to try to inflict even insignificant damage to the other party.

Li Qi bit off the other party's ear, and the other party tore Li Qi's neck until blood dripped.

But at this moment, Li Qi suddenly felt a blur in front of his eyes.

With a bang, the sergeant flew out.

The face was bloody and bloody, a few teeth were flying out, the bridge of the nose was broken, the whole face was sunken, and it looked like he was out of breath.

It looked like... he was kicked in the face by a horse.

Li Qi was already exhausted and was stabbed again. At this moment, he suddenly relaxed, his vision went dark, and he lost consciousness uncontrollably.

Only vaguely, he saw a horse and a female figure rushing towards him.

"Shen..." He just finished reciting one word and then passed out.

Just now he could only hold on for a breath, but now he relaxed and passed out after just one kick.

————————————

By the time Li Qi woke up, he didn't know how long it had been.

All he knew was that he seemed to have regained consciousness.

But it was very blurry, like half dreaming and half awake.

My eyes were in a trance, and my body couldn't feel anything at all.

Oh, I can still feel it a little bit.

He felt like someone had been walking around him, but he couldn't see clearly.

He couldn't concentrate at all, and he couldn't even notice the time. He didn't know whether it was a second or an hour that had passed.

There was a mysterious force dragging him down.

It was as if there were chains binding his soul, trying to drag him into the bottomless abyss.

He seemed to be able to feel the karma fire burning underneath him, and if he fell into it, he would be doomed.

However, something was stopping him.

The chains underground seemed to be made of Qi.

And this energy seemed to be weakened when it was close to him.

But he could barely distinguish it, but he couldn't feel it clearly.

The world in front of him was like a layer of frosted glass. No matter how hard he tried to open his eyes, he couldn't see clearly.

I don’t know how long this has passed.

Li Qi struggled and tried his best to break such frosted glass.

How to do? He thought with his remaining consciousness.

Thinking is his instinct.

"Angry..." He murmured, this was the only feasible way in his memory.

What energy can be harnessed?

There was no breath left in his body.

Both Soryu Shenqi and Togami Shenqi have been completely used.

These spirits need to be sacrificed in order to obtain them.

Is there any Qi that can be obtained without sacrificing...

Do you have……?

Is there any?

Li Qiqi used his already chaotic mind to think of it with all his strength.

Although there seemed to be a barrier protecting him, preventing the chains from pulling him down, he always felt that sooner or later this barrier would disappear, and he would never be able to hold on.

gas……

gas……

Wait...what do you rely on to practice Paibo Jin?

Paibo Jin was the first skill that Li Qi practiced when he came to this world.

Li Qi had never thought about it before.

But now, trapped in this frosted glass box, he suddenly thought of this in a hazy state.

According to the principles of this world, Paibo Jin...should also have a corresponding Qi.

But, it seems... I have never felt it.

This seems to be the only place where I may be involved in "Qi".

When he thought of this, Li Qi decided to try it even though he was still half asleep.

He had a hunch that if he didn't resolve this situation——

He might die.

Paibo Jin… practice requires holding one’s breath and then directing the muscles in the body.

Wait, what to do with the muscles?

Within the muscles... Shen Shuibi said, there are Ying Qi and Wei Qi...

Wait, when Paibo Jin is running, Ying Qi, Wei Qi, and Blood Qi seem to be walking in a different direction than usual.

Li Qi Qi regained consciousness for the last time, controlled his body, and tried to use Paibo Jin to gather a trace of Qi.

Then he felt it.

His three innate treasures seemed to emerge.

Jing, Qi, and Shen were brought out by Ying Qi and Wei Qi.

Under the blessing of this power, the layer of frosted glass in front of me seemed to be gradually cracking.

Li Qi's mind seemed to gradually clear up a little.

It was this little bit that allowed him to seize the opportunity, seize the little bit of power gathered by Paibo Jin, and stab himself fiercely, hoping to wake himself up completely!

Crash! As if there was a thunder blast in his ears, Li Qi suddenly opened his eyes and took a deep breath.

Only then did he realize that he was sweating profusely!

On top of her body, there was also Shen Shuibi.

My body feels warm, probably because of this, which prevents me from hypothermia due to the cold.

There's just something else wrong.

Like, a little soft.
