Chapter 476 Re-Cultivating the Heart Sutra

The border of the empire.

Hongye's spaceship was only a few thousand meters away from the scarlet mecha.

The huge mecha was right in front of him, sealing the nearby jump channel, leaving Hongye's spaceship with no escape.

Just when Hongye didn't know what to do, a magnetic female voice sounded through the spaceship's communication system:

"Your Highness Richie, have you had enough fun? If you have, it's time to go back with me."

It was exposed!

Hongye was startled and turned back to look at Li Qi, but saw that Li Qi was calm and there was no panic on his face.

"Hongye, connect to the virtual communication."

Li Qi calmly ordered Hongye, and then said to Art: "Art, give me your weapon."

"Your Highness...?"

"Give it to me!" Li Qi's tone was unquestionable.

Art had no choice but to miniaturize the mecha's portable weapon and hand it over to Li Qi.

Looking at the dagger-like weapon, Li Qi's fingers brushed the edge of the blade, and then looked at Hongye again, as if asking why the communication was not connected.

After a brief moment of daze, Hongye quickly connected to the communication on the mecha.

A few seconds later, a virtual projection of a tall woman with long black hair appeared in the spacecraft.

"Your Highness Richie..." After seeing Richie, the woman bowed and saluted first, but before she finished her sentence, her pupils suddenly shrank: "Your Highness, what are you doing?!"

"Your Highness!?" Art had the same reaction as the woman.

Because both of them saw Richie put the weapon given by Art on his neck, with the blade against the skin, and only a slight movement could easily cut Richie's throat.

Not only that.

This weapon is a consciousness weapon. With the stimulation of consciousness, a very long blade light will be released on the weapon.

Once the blade light is stimulated, Richie's head and body will be separated instantly.

In order to make the legion commander in front of him realize this more intuitively, Richie also used consciousness to slightly stimulate the ability of the short knife.

It can let the legion commander in front of him know that he has the power to chop off his head with one knife.

This is also the reason why Art and the legion commander are nervous.

"Captain of the Third Border Defense Corps...right." Li Qi asked the other party's identity softly.

The Corps Commander nodded: "Yes, my name is Rose, Your Highness can just call me by my name... Your Highness Richie, you..."

"Captain Rose, I'll give you two choices now."

Without giving the Corps Commander a chance to speak, Li Qi leaned the blade towards himself and continued:

"Now, either you let me go, and nothing will happen to you afterwards, or you will be charged with forcing the Ninth Princess's fiancé, the direct descendant of the Sarnak family, to death, and then your whole family will be convicted...Captain Rose, you know what to choose, right?"

The Corps Commander was silent after hearing this. She looked deeply at Li Qi with a firm gaze, sighed and asked:

"Your Highness Richie, why are you doing this..."

"I'll only give you one minute to consider."

Li Qi said lightly, regardless of that, as if what was placed on his neck was not a sharp weapon, but a wooden stick.

"Your Highness, even if I let you go, the Ninth Princess will not let me go afterwards..."

"As long as you don't tell anyone, she won't know that you let me go."

"Are you so sure that the Ninth Princess won't come after me?"

"I'm not sure, but you have no other choice now. I'm sorry to choose this way to threaten you, but if you want to blame... blame you for chasing me."

Li Qi's voice did not have any emotional fluctuations, just stating this fact.

It's true that Li Qi has a conscious backup in the world rules. Even if he dies now, he can be resurrected.

But the problem is that if Li Qi dies, the people around him can't escape either. All the people related to his death will be buried with him!

Including the legion commander in front of him, and the family behind her!

This is the deterrent power of the high nobles!

The legion commander obviously knows this, so she hesitates.

If it was just her, it wouldn't matter. At most, she would spend some favors to ask someone to resurrect her afterwards, but she still has her own family behind her, and her family is just an ordinary marquis family, and no one has a conscious backup.

Therefore, if Li Qi died here, she would be the only one who could survive afterwards.

Even if the Ninth Princess really pursued it, her backup of consciousness would probably be destroyed!

On one side, there is a possibility of survival, and on the other side, there is a certain death. Normal people know which choice to make.

"Your Highness, you are really..." The legion commander wanted to say something, but all he responded to was Li Qi's cold countdown:

"You have fifteen seconds left."

"... I know, you go over."

Seeing the blood flowing on Li Qi's fair skin, the legion commander finally compromised.

She originally thought that she could easily take Li Qi away this time, so she chased him. After all, it is well known that the fiancé of the Ninth Princess is a kind-hearted and weak person.

However, the facts are contrary to her thoughts. Li Qi's decisiveness and ruthlessness are beyond her expectations, which is completely inconsistent with the intelligence she received.

That's right, after all, he is from the top family in the world. If he really has no power and brains, this little prince would not be able to survive until now.

This time she lost.

Rose sighed helplessly and had to release the restrictions on the jump channel.

The jump channel was reopened, the spacecraft officially locked the destination coordinates, and started the jump engine.

Li Qi put down his weapon only after the power of the jump engine was fully charged.

At this moment, the frequency of the jump engine has been matched with the jump channel. If Rose dares to forcibly stop the jump channel, then the spacecraft will be completely out of control and will jump to an unknown place.

She didn't dare to do that.

That's why Li Qi put down his weapon.

But before leaving completely, Li Qi still told Rose:

"If Sophie really finds out and you are questioned by her, then remember to say something to Sophie."

"What?"

"'Don't let me hate you', just say it to her."

"..."

Rose was puzzled, thinking about the meaning of Li Qi's words, wondering if there was any secret code in it that she didn't understand.

Just as she was thinking, the jump engine started, and Li Qi's spacecraft turned into starlight and disappeared into the depths of the universe.

………

The spacecraft jumped to the depths of the sea of ​​stars.

This is the dark sea of ​​stars, that is, the large area of ​​darkness without any light between galaxies.

This place has always been a paradise for fugitives and a paradise for desperate criminals, and it is also outside the power of the three major countries.

No mistakes, one post, one content, one 6, one 9, one book, one bar!

Only when he came here, Li Qi could be considered to have truly escaped the "control" of the empire.

When the spaceship stopped jumping, Art immediately took the knife from Li Qi's hand, and nervously took out the first aid device to heal Li Qi.

Even if it was just a little skin broken.

Li Qi let Art fiddle with him expressionlessly, but his eyes were relatively empty, without any brilliance.

Hongye turned the spaceship on automatic cruise mode and headed for the next jump point, while also cooling the spaceship's jump engine.

She turned her head to look at Li Qi, but she couldn't see the joy of successfully escaping on his face, but felt that Li Qi seemed a little angry.

"Rich... Your Highness...?" Hongye asked cautiously.

Li Qi closed his eyes, opened them again after two seconds, and said to Hongye:

"From now on, call me Rocky, and, don't call me Your Highness."

"Okay...Okay, Master Rocky, you...you don't seem very happy?"

Hongye continued to ask.

Li Qi remained silent and clenched his fists.

Unhappy? Of course he was unhappy!

If Li Qi had fought head-on against the eighth-level mecha master, fought with real swords and guns, and overwhelmed the opponent with absolute strength and escaped, then he would definitely not be unhappy at all, but would be very happy.

But it was precisely in this way, threatening the opponent with his own life, that Li Qi was really unhappy in order to get a chance to escape.

Power...

He needs to regain all the power he had in his previous life!

And the new power system of this world!

At least next time, he will never escape in this way.

But then again, since he has left the empire, Li Qi's long-prepared plan can also begin.

Taking a deep breath to calm his chaotic emotions, Li Qi said to Art:

"Art, help me give me the energy bar I bought before."

"..." Art, who helped Li Qi deal with his wounds, handed the energy bar to Li Qi without saying a word.

Li Qi opened the energy bar full of various nutrients, took a look, and bit it without hesitation.

"!?"

Art's eyes widened, and he subconsciously snatched the energy bar from Li Qi's hand.

After all, with Li Qi's identity, how could he eat something that even inferior people wouldn't eat?

However, Li Qi just gave him a look, and he had to stop.

Art stared at Li Qi in a daze, and it was not right to take it or not.

Li Qi chewed the energy bar and said to Hongye: "There shouldn't be any accidents now, let's prepare for the next jump."

"Okay...Okay."

Hongye nodded and operated in front of the console.

Li Qi sat in the back and ate the tasteless energy bar, and began to mobilize the first ray of energy he mobilized when he came to this world.

The first level of the Immortal Heart Sutra is very simple, just eat it.

The higher the energy of the food, the more energy it provides to Li Qi, and the faster he will be promoted.

The energy bar he is eating at this moment is what most people at the bottom will eat.

The energy bar has no special taste, but it is rich in nutrients. Just one bar is enough to provide a normal person with the energy needed for a day's action.

Such energy bars are most suitable for practicing the Immortal Heart Sutra.

In addition to the precious ingredients that Li Qi has eaten since he was a child, the precious medicinal power accumulated in his body, it won't take long for Li Qi to successfully break through the first level of the Immortal Heart Sutra.

Reach the second level of the Xiantian realm.

The special abilities and combat power of the second level of the Xiantian realm are enough for Li Qi to disguise himself as a martial arts practitioner who just came out of a small planet.

People who practice martial arts don't need to implant too many modified bodies in their bodies, which can just cover up Li Qi's identity as a natural person.

Leaving the border of the empire, Li Qi practiced the Immortal Heart Sutra while sorting out the next plan.

Finally, after another jump, they successfully entered the scope of the Yilin Federation.

This time, they didn't encounter any accidents.
