she was youthful and pretty, looking full of sunshine and vigor, completely different from the female soldier look she had in the Nanjiang Provincial Military Region in the past.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As expected of the most beautiful female soldier in the Nanjiang Provincial Military Region, Li Qin Qianyue had now shed her greenness, becoming mature and elegant, and her overall charm had grown explosively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter from which aspect, she was enough to match Ximen Wudi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as Li Qin Qianyue walked in, she found Ximen Wudi staring at her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Cough, cough...\" Li Qin Qianyue's cheeks felt a little hot from being watched, and she coughed twice, saying: \"Brother Rui, how is your spirit recovering?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ximen Wudi immediately came back to his senses, then smiled awkwardly: \"Thank you for your concern, Qianyue, my state has recovered quite a bit.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Ximen Wudi address her this way, Li Qin Qianyue's pretty face instantly became burning hot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For so long, she had a secret in her heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Li Qin Qianyue's heart, she had always regarded Ximen Wudi as the man she liked—even though Ximen Wudi was already married and had children.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Ximen Wudi's use of \"little sister\" completely broke down Li Qin Qianyue's psychological defense; her pretty face turned red instantly, and even the tips of her ears turned red.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother Rui, you rest well first, dinner will be sent over later, I'm going to find some books to study now.\" Li Qin Qianyue dropped this sentence and turned and ran away as if fleeing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn't know why she was so flustered, and even a little afraid to look Ximen Wudi in the eye, fearing that Ximen Wudi would see the little thoughts in her heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, in the past, Ximen Wudi had always treated her as a brother; although it didn't matter if they joked around a bit on weekdays, this sudden change made people a bit unable to adapt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ximen Wudi looked at Li Qin Qianyue's slender figure and couldn't help but touch his nose: \"Could this girl like me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, he shook his head and scolded with a smile: \"Don't let your imagination run wild.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, at this moment, the Strategist suddenly stood up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ximen Wudi's expression suddenly froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because he clearly saw the Strategist put her hand on her waist and pull out a short blade!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The design of that blade was very unique; it was black all over, and the hilt was inlaid with silver rings, looking radiant and very cool, appearing domineering and cold!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ximen Wudi had never seen such a beautiful and sharp weapon!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Strategist, what are you doing?\" Ximen Wudi asked hurriedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I want to try if I can break through this layer of protective film on your body,\" the Strategist said, drawing her blade and rising!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A wisp of cold light shot over suddenly!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This speed was extremely fast, making it impossible for Ximen Wudi to dodge!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swish!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blade fiercely sliced through the bedding and pillowcase, and then pierced Ximen Wudi's chest!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blood splashed out!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Strategist, what is going on?\" Ximen Wudi was so stiff with pain that beads of sweat had already appeared on his forehead!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This blade was merciless and almost cost Ximen Wudi his life!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, what Ximen Wudi found even more strange was that this blade wound looked very terrifying, but not a drop of blood flowed from the wound; it seemed as if it was just stuck by the scabbard!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The name of this blade is...\" the Strategist explained: \"It's called the Blade of the Netherworld.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Blade of the Netherworld?\" Hearing this, Ximen Wudi's eyes widened: \"The legendary most evil weapon in the world?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Exactly.\" The Strategist finished, and sheathed the blade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was very satisfied with the effect of her attack just now: \"As expected of the Blade of the Netherworld, its power is indeed extraordinary.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Unfortunately, it's too heavy,\" Ximen Wudi looked at the scabbard of the Blade of the Netherworld and said bitterly: \"If it were replaced by an ordinary dagger or longsword, I estimate I would already be dead.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ximen Wudi still clearly remembered that when he used his palms to catch this blade earlier, he felt like his hand bones were about to shatter!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This was forged by me personally; unless a peerless expert descends, ordinary martial artists simply cannot withstand this blade,\" the Strategist said lightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Strategist, I think, did you make a mistake? I really only suffered a minor injury...\" Ximen Wudi said, reaching out his right hand to cover his chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The skin there had long been sliced into pieces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blood was dripping, shocking to the eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh? A minor injury?\" The Strategist narrowed her eyes: \"Since that's the case, then I'll add another blade.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After saying that, she suddenly raised her arm and lifted the Blade of the Netherworld over her head!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swish!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A flash of cold light shot out again!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, the target was clearly Ximen Wudi's throat!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ximen Wudi was simply wanting to cry but had no tears!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damn it, I've already suffered such serious internal injuries, how can I still be ambushed by you!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If this blade were to fall, Ximen Wudi would definitely be finished!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn't have time to think about anything else; he slapped the bed board hard and shot toward the side!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Blade of the Netherworld fiercely hacked into the position where Ximen Wudi was originally sitting!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because the Strategist's attack was extremely powerful this time, the Blade of the Netherworld directly split the wooden bed board in half!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Strategist, you're crazy!\" Ximen Wudi roared angrily: \"We are brothers! You hacked at my neck this time! I'm not a sandbag! If you hack me to death, who will drink and chat with you! Who will help you practice Wu Gong!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This guy was quite clever; he guessed the Strategist's purpose all at once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, facing Ximen Wudi's roar, the Strategist remained expressionless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I said it, I must kill you today,\" the Strategist said coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her tone made Ximen Wudi shiver inexplicably!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you really going to hack me to death?\" Ximen Wudi asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes.\" The Strategist said, and raised the short blade in her hand again, pointing at Ximen Wudi: \"If you don't admit defeat again, then I can't guarantee whether I will accidentally kill you next.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Accidentally kill me?\" Ximen Wudi's eyebrows twitched: \"You mean, if you don't control it well, then the Blade of the Netherworld might slice my head off?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pausing, this guy continued: \"No, no, let's forget about such things; I'd rather you fail, I'd rather I hang up, than have my head moved.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ximen Wudi was really cowardly enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, this did fit his personality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don't believe you would be reluctant to part with this life,\" the Strategist smiled mockingly and inserted the short blade back into the scabbard on her back: \"You definitely have more than just this one set of life-saving equipment.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After speaking, she walked straight to the table, picked up that bottle of potion, unscrewed the cap, tilted her head back, and drank it all in one gulp!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What kind of stuff are you drinking? This is a healing treasure specifically formulated by the Flame Brigade; it's said that after taking it, one can quickly heal injuries.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not needed, this is poison,\" the Strategist said: \"And, after drinking this stuff, thirty seconds later, my skills might be about twice as strong as before, so, Ximen Wudi, this is the only way I can help you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is this poison you brewed yourself?\" Ximen Wudi's eyes changed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew exactly how terrifying the unique poisons possessed by the Strategist were!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once, several experts at the peak of the Transformation Realm died with all their meridians severed because they drank a drop of the Strategist's poison!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a terrifying power capable of destroying everything!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Strategist, don't you dare tell me that the potion in this bottle is something you specifically prepared to deal with me,\" Ximen Wudi's face carried a look of deep shock!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Strategist's poison skills were actually so formidable to this extent!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this time, Ximen Wudi couldn't care about the injuries on his chest and the pain in his abdomen at all!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stared at the Strategist, his eyes filled with disbelief!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's right, it's the poison I developed myself,\" the Strategist said: \"However, this time I only prepared two taels.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, the corners of Ximen Wudi's mouth twitched a few times: \"I'm now doubting whether you are really a person on the Chinese Jianghu world ranking list; you are no Strategist, you are clearly a Ghost Physician!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you for the compliment,\" the Strategist nodded slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>",1483,"2026-06-15T03:02:23.300Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","a6af3e7bc92f150b9abb17a2d8e2624f2ae2a70669fce0b568a9d177e994170a","wuxia-shocking-the-empress-at-the-start-chapter-1365","wuxia-shocking-the-empress-at-the-start-chapter-1363",1409,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fwuxia-shocking-the-empress-at-the-start-cover.jpg"]
