Chapter 324: The Truth Emerges (Ask for Subscription)
At the time of climbing, the purple gas came from the east, as bright as the stars, and the entire mountaintop was shrouded in thousands of auspicious gases, blooming with colorful and brilliant brilliance. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
It can be said that it triggered a natural vision, and in an instant, in the clear sky, a silver thunder fell on the iron pot in the dense forest, and the shining electric light illuminated the entire sky, and it reflected the outline of the entire mountain forest.
"Clear sky thunder and lightning, this is the vision of the sky, could it be that the elixir of life has been successfully refined?!" When the First Emperor just descended on the mountain, he saw this amazing scene, the dragon walked and walked all the way, removing the cover of thorns and trees, and walked into the dense forest.
"Long live the First Emperor!"
The hundreds of terracotta warriors guarding the dense forest knelt on the ground one after another, with an extremely respectful and respectful attitude.
The First Emperor didn't notice them, and his burning gaze went straight to the iron pot that was erected on the top of the mountain. I saw the iron pot at this time, the arc danced, the electric light flickered, strangely swirled around the iron pot, and it dissipated after a long time, but the air was still filled with a scorching smell after the lightning flash!
I have to say that the material used to make this iron pot is really extraordinary, after being struck by lightning, it is only a little scorched black at the edges.
"This elixir is done?" The First Emperor hurriedly asked, and he was a little impatient to lift the iron lid.
Li Xiao's eyes were also attracted by the iron pot at this time, and even his breathing became short, he shook his head and said noncommittally: "It's not sure yet." ”
"Success or failure, you can know if you open it."
With a bang, Immorton slapped his palm on the iron pot, and the clasped iron lid also burst up and flew to the side.
When the lid was lifted, a refreshing medicinal fragrance overflowed, rich and diffuse, and came to the face. An invisible auspicious aura stirred up, and the rich aura seemed to give the entire mountain forest that was about to wither, a huge baptism, and it was full of vitality.
With one move of Li Xiao, five pills were ingested and landed in his palm, only to see that these pills were black all over, containing a strong medicinal fragrance, and a casual sniff could make people's hearts lift.
"This thing is the legendary elixir?!" The First Emperor's eyes suddenly lit up, and he was about to take the pill.
However, before that, someone had already taken the lead and snatched the pill from Li Xiao's hands.
"Maria, you're still showing up after all." Looking at the beautiful figure in front of him, Li Xiao frowned, but he was not surprised.
At this time, the rest of the people also looked at Maria in unison, extremely surprised. You must know that Maria has always been closely accompanying and serving Li Xiao, but now she suddenly made a move, and it turned out to be the robbery of the five elixirs, and they were all staring at each other and a little dumbfounded.
"You dare to be bold, you dare to take away my things, you can't want to die?!" The First Emperor's face sank, his eyes shrank suddenly, his fists clenched tightly, and his body emitted a signal of danger.
The guards raised their spears and surrounded Maria, with only one cliff behind her, completely cutting off his escape route.
"Snort!"
Maria was dressed in a black leather coat and leather pants, her eyes were full of fierceness, and she no longer had the delicate image she had before, but she looked fearless.
Maria clutched the five pills tightly in her palm, moving from side to side, her figure constantly moving through the crowd like a butterfly wearing flowers.
Holding a sharp serrated short blade, Maria flipped up and down in the air, dancing with a chilling cold light, carrying an incomparably fierce knife aura, cutting open the heads and limbs of the soldiers who rushed forward, falling to the ground, and rolling with bones.
After striking the encirclement, Maria rolled forward again, like a fast-moving she-leopard, over the rocks and over the bushes, and was about to leave the hill and sink into the woods not far away.
But at this moment, Li Xiao's figure was like a divine general, directly blocking in front of her.
From Li Xiao's immobile face, there was no expression in it, revealing a deep and inscrutable meaning.
The ruthless skills that Maria showed just now seem to be a master in the late congenital stage, although she can be called a master in this world, but with her strength, if she wants to defeat Li Xiao in the realm of martial arts grandmaster, the difficulty can be described as a grasshopper shaking a tree, and the disparity in strength between the two is not ordinary.
"Are you going to get in my way?" Maria's face was cold, and there was a complicated look in her eyes.
"Are you approaching me for this elixir?" Li Xiao's deep eyes stared straight at Maria, as if he wanted to find the answer from her eyes.
In fact, from the news that Scott revealed to himself at the beginning, and according to the information of the people on the Triumph, Li Xiao was almost the candidate to lock up the spy. At this point, Maria finally made a move, and her identity was revealed.
"That's right, I approached you from the beginning for the elixir, and you are satisfied with this answer." Maria's eyes twinkled, her thoughts mixed, and finally she gritted her teeth and replied.
It's just that from her categorical words, you can feel a trace of astringency and sadness.
"Li Xiao, kill her quickly and take back the elixir of life!" The First Emperor said in a commanding tone to Li Xiao in a deep voice, his clenched fists spread out again, and a trace of innate true yuan condensed in his hand.
That seemed to mean that if Li Xiao didn't do it, then the First Emperor would come to solve it for him.
"Maria, you can't escape." Li Xiao walked towards Maria, paused after a few steps, sighed slightly, and couldn't bear it.
No matter what Maria's purpose is, but after all, the two have been together for a lot of time, and in this process, more or less naturally have feelings.
Li Xiao has traveled to many planes, and has also cultivated a very firm mind, God blocks and kills God, Buddha blocks and kills Buddha, and will never be tolerated and soft-hearted. But he has never been able to be ruthless like a cold-blooded killer. But if he wants to kill the woman he gets along with day and night, he really can't do it.
So although the First Emperor had already given the order, Li Xiao did not make a move.
Suddenly, a cold light flashed, and Maria suddenly swung the dagger in her hand heavily, piercing into her abdomen and raising a mournful arc.
"Maria!" Li Xiao wanted to stop it, but it was too late.
Blood poured from Maria's abdomen, and soon dyed the leather coat she was wearing a deep dark red, revealing a strange and sad aura.
A large amount of blood was lost, Maria's breathing became rapid, her face turned pale, and the breath of life withered, she dropped the blood-stained dagger, her body was unstable, her staggering steps fell backwards, and finally she fell directly from the cliff behind her!
Li Xiao kicked on his toes, and suddenly burst out of the forest, and the Dao's Tianxing Nine Transformation Light Gong was displayed, flying and moving sideways like a spirit swallow, his hands passed around Maria's waist, holding him in his arms, and then stepped heavily towards the void, as if stepping on an invisible staircase, and the whole person bounced up again and fell on the mountain where Maria fell just now.
"Maria, why are you so stupid." Li Xiao looked at Maria in his arms, who was already covered with blood, and couldn't help but show bitterness.
At this time, Maria was already very weak, her face was pale, and her beautiful eyes had become dull and lifeless. But at the same time, she also relieved the burden in her heart, and smiled bitterly with a hint of relief: "I'm sorry, Li, I really don't want to lie to you." But my fate cannot be decided by me, and from the time I was born to be discarded in the garbage heap, my fate has been predestined and cannot be changed. ”
"Don't talk about this, now quickly hold your breath and relax, I'll treat you!" Li Xiao ran the surging aura on his body and pressed it on Maria's shoulder, inducing true qi for him, hoping to stabilize her heart.
"It's useless, who knows my body better than me." Maria shook her head with a wry smile, as if she had already held the intention of death, and continued: "Twenty-three years ago, I was abandoned by my parents in a garbage dump, and it was Stillman who picked me up, and there were many abandoned children, and we were gathered together, and then he hired a special teacher for us. ”
"But what they teach is not classroom knowledge, but a series of financial theories and undercover methods, and even assassination, and he wants to train us to be defenseless weapons, and we need to perform all kinds of tasks to build his business empire, and we are just pawns in his hands."
"In the process of more than ten years, my life is extremely gloomy, until I met you, I realized the beauty of life. Dear Lee, how I want to be with you forever...... However, a good life is short-lived, and my mission this time is to spy on you, and then take the opportunity to seize the elixir of life, but it seems that my mission has failed, but that's fine, otherwise my life will be like a cold machine, indefinitely circulating. Lee, it was you who made me feel the true love of the world, and I will never forget you...... Stillman and Dupont are very treacherous, and they have also sent other masters from other countries this time, I am afraid that they are lying dormant in this Changbai Mountain, waiting for the opportunity to move, you must be careful. ”
"Lee, I'm sorry, thank you."
Maria said so, although he told the result of her fiasco, but there was a touch of relief and sweet smile on the corner of her mouth, as if all the grievances and sorrows in her heart were expressed, and she could finally get rid of this puppet life as a pawn.
"Maria, hold on!" Li Xiao was moved, and shouted softly, and at the same time, the surging true qi in his body kept running, turning into a warm current that was introduced onto her shoulder, hoping to maintain his heart.
But at this time, Maria was like a sinking sunset, full of twilight, and the excessive loss of blood also made his life qi dissipate quickly, and finally her dim eyes hung down completely, until they were closed, and the life qi was also gone, and the corners of her mouth were a faint smile, and under the sun, it seemed very peaceful.
Dying in the arms of a loved one may also be a blessing.
Immorton is also a very infatuated person, it can be said that whether it was a thousand years ago or a thousand years later, his greatest wish is to be with his beloved Evelyn forever, but fate has never gone his way. And the reason why he worked so hard to refine the elixir for Li Xiao was that he hoped that after the refining was successful, he would use it as a bargaining chip to exchange the Holy Urn and the Sun Bible from Li Xiao in accordance with the previous contract.
Therefore, the degree of Immorton's infatuation is also visible. At this time, when I heard Maria's confession to Li Xiao, I was also very moved in my heart, and I couldn't help but have a sour nose, don't look over, I can't bear to see this scene.
……
A loud roar suddenly broke the silence of this moment.
"Hurry up and search for those pills, they've all fallen off the cliff together." The First Emperor quickly realized something, and he looked down at the bottom of the cliff.
Just now, he clearly saw Maria jumping off the cliff with the pill in her hand, but when Maria was rescued, the pills in her hand were gone, and it was obvious that they must have spilled to the bottom of the cliff.
"First Emperor, in fact, this elixir has always been in my hands, and it has not been spilled." Li Xiao was stunned for a long time at the dead Maria, and it took a long time to come back to her senses, and there was still a sad look in her eyes.
He spread his hand out, revealing the five elixirs inside.
After a closer look, I saw that these five elixirs were completely different from the previous ones, not only brown, but also crystal luster all over, with a layer of mysterious spirit patterns under the surface, shining, and shining under the sun, there was a three-color divine light, and the medicinal fragrance that was a hundred times richer than just now seemed to fill the entire mountain range.
"How dare you deceive me!" When the First Emperor saw this, he didn't know what was going on, and he couldn't help but be furious.
I have to say that the vision of heaven and earth at the time of the medicine was so real that he had to be deceived.
"First Emperor, this is what Imorton and I discussed together, the purpose is to lure the undercover agent to appear, so I didn't tell you before, I hope the First Emperor will forgive me!" Li Xiao's heart moved, and he explained to the First Emperor, and at the same time handed the elixir in his hand to the First Emperor.
Seeing the elixir, the First Emperor couldn't help but feel a move in his heart, and the anger in his heart subsided a little, took the elixir that exuded a mysterious luster, put it in front of him and looked at it carefully, felt the surging medicinal power in it, and suddenly burst into ecstasy, haha laughed.
But at this moment, around the mountain, a shout of killing suddenly sounded!
