At the top of the mountain, purple energy comes from the east, shining like stars. The entire mountain top is shrouded in thousands of auspicious auras, blooming with colorful brilliance, shining and shining.
It can be said that it triggered a natural phenomenon. In an instant, in the clear sky, a silver thunder fell with great force on the iron pot in the dense forest. The shining electric light illuminated the entire sky, and even more reflected the scene.
The outline of the entire mountain forest.
"Thunder and lightning in the clear sky, this is a vision from the sky. Could it be that the elixir of immortality has been successfully refined?!" When the First Emperor arrived at the top of the mountain, he saw this amazing scene.
After breaking through the cover of thorns and vegetation, we walked into the dense forest.
"Long live the First Emperor!"
Hundreds of soldiers and warriors guarding the dense forest were half-kneeling on the ground, welcoming them with great respect.
The First Emperor did not notice them, and cast a pair of scorching eyes directly on the iron pot that was placed on the top of the mountain. At this time, he saw the iron pot, arcs dancing, electric light flashing, and strangely lingering around the iron pot.
All around, it took a long time for it to dissipate, but the air was still filled with the burning smell after the lightning flash!
It has to be said that the material used to make this iron pot is really extraordinary. After being struck by lightning, it was only slightly charred around the edges.
"Is this elixir of immortality ready?" the First Emperor asked quickly. He couldn't wait to lift the iron cover.
Li Xiao's eyes were also attracted by the iron pot at this time, and his breathing became rapid. He shook his head and said noncommittally: "I'm not sure yet."
"Success or failure, you will know once you open it."
With a bang, Immorton slapped the iron pot with his palm, and the iron lid that was buckled also rose with a bang and flew to the side.
The moment the lid was opened, a refreshing medicinal fragrance overflowed, and it was thick and permeated, rushing towards your face. An invisible auspicious aura surged out, and the rich spiritual energy seemed to give the whole area a feeling of dryness.
The mountains and forests on the ridge have received a huge baptism, and they are full of vitality.
With one move of one hand, Li Xiao ingested five pills and landed in his palm. These pills were completely black and contained a strong medicinal fragrance. A casual sniff can make people feel excited.
A jolt.
"This thing is the legendary elixir of life?!" The Emperor's eyes suddenly lit up, and he was about to take the pills.
However, before that, someone had already taken the lead and snatched the pill from Li Xiao's hand.
"Maria, you finally showed up." 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 were all looking at Maria, and they were extremely surprised. You must know that Maria had always been closely accompanying and serving Li Xiao, but now she suddenly took action and robbed those five people.
When I saw the elixir of life, they all looked at me with big eyes and small eyes, a little dumbfounded.
"You are so bold, you dare to take what is mine, do you want to die?!" The First Emperor's face darkened, his eyes suddenly shrank, and his fists were clenched tightly. His body gave off a dangerous signal.
The guarding warriors took up their spears and surrounded Maria. There was only a cliff behind her. This completely cut off his escape route.
"Chichi!"
Maria was wearing a black leather jacket and leather trousers, her eyes were full of fierceness, she no longer had the delicate image before, she actually looked fearless.
Maria held the five pills tightly in her palms and moved them from side to side, her figure constantly walking through the crowd like a butterfly through flowers.
Maria held a sharp saw-toothed short blade, flipping it up and down in the air, dancing with a cold light, carrying extremely sharp sword energy, cutting open the heads and limbs of the mercenaries who rushed forward, and then fell to the ground.
, rolling like bones.
After fighting through the heavy siege, Maria rolled forward again. Like a fast-moving female leopard, she climbed over the rocks and over the bushes. She was about to leave the mountain and not far away.
among the woods.
But at this moment, Li Xiao's figure was like a divine general, blocking her directly.
From Li Xiao's unmoved face, there was no expression at all, which conveyed a deep and impenetrable meaning.
The ferocious skills Maria showed just now, it seems that she should be a master in the late stage of Xiantian. Although she can be called a master in this world, with her strength, it is very difficult to defeat Li Xiao, who is in the realm of martial arts master.
It can be said that the power disparity between the two is not ordinary.
"Are you trying to block my way?" Maria's pretty face turned cold, with a complicated look in her eyes.
"Are you approaching me just for this elixir of life?" Li Xiao stared straight at Maria with a pair of deep eyes, as if he wanted to find the answer in her eyes.
In fact, from the news that Scott revealed to him at the beginning, and based on the information of the people on the Triumph, Li Xiao had almost locked in the spy candidate. By this time, Maria finally took action, and at the same time her
The identity also surfaced.
"That's right, I approached you from the beginning just for the elixir of life. Are you satisfied with this answer?" Maria's eyes flickered, her thoughts were complex, and she finally bit her teeth and replied.
However, from her decisive words, one can feel a hint of sadness and sadness.
"Li Xiao, kill her quickly and take back the elixir of life!" The First Emperor said solemnly to Li Xiao with a commanding tone, his clenched fists spread out again, and a trace of condensation of innate true energy was in his hands as he hesitated.
That seems to mean that if Li Xiao doesn't take action, then the First Emperor will come and solve it for him.
"Maria, you can't escape." Li Xiao walked towards Maria, then paused after a few steps, sighing slightly, feeling unbearable.
No matter what Maria's purpose was, the two spent a lot of time together, and in the process, feelings would more or less naturally develop.
Li Xiao has traveled to many planes and developed a very firm mind. He will kill gods when gods stand in his way, and Buddha when he stands in the way of Buddha. He will never tolerate or be soft-hearted. But he has never been able to be as ruthless as a cold-blooded killer.
But if he was asked to kill the woman he was with day and night, he really couldn't do it.
Therefore, although the First Emperor had given the order, Li Xiao had not yet taken action.
Suddenly, a cold light flashed, and Maria suddenly made a heavy hand with the dagger in her hand, and pierced her abdomen, making a sad arc.
"Maria!" Li Xiao wanted to stop her, but it was too late.
Blood flowed out from Maria's abdomen, and soon dyed the leather clothes she was wearing a deep dark red, exuding a strange and sad aura.
A large amount of blood was lost, Maria's breathing became rapid, her face turned pale, and her life breath slumped. She dropped the blood-stained dagger, became unstable, staggered backwards, and finally passed directly from behind.
Fell off the cliff!
Li Xiao kicked off his toes and suddenly sprang out of the forest. Tao Fa's Nine Transformations of Heavenly Movement Qigong was displayed. He soared and moved like a spiritual swallow. His hands went around Maria's waist and took him into her arms.
, stepped heavily towards the void, as if stepping on invisible stairs, the whole person bounced up again, and landed on the top of the mountain where Maria fell just now.
"Maria, why are you so stupid?" Li Xiao looked at Maria in his arms, which was already stained with blood, and couldn't help showing bitterness.
At this time, Maria was already very weak, her face was pale, and her beautiful eyes had become dim and lifeless. But at the same time, she also relieved the burden in her heart, and there was a hint of relief in her wry smile.
: "I'm sorry, Li, I really don't want to lie to you. But my fate cannot be decided by me. From the time I was born and dumped in the garbage dump, my fate has been doomed and cannot be changed."
"Stop talking about this, now quickly hold your breath and relax, and I will treat you!" Li Xiao circulated the surging spiritual energy on his body, pressed it on Maria's shoulders, and breathed in his true energy, hoping to stabilize her.
's heartbeat.
"It's useless. Who else knows my body better than me?" Maria shook her head with a wry smile, as if she already had the intention of dying, and continued: "Twenty-three years ago, I was abandoned by my parents in
I fell into a garbage dump, and it was Stillman who picked me up, along with many abandoned children. We were gathered together, and then he hired a special teacher for us."
"But what they teach is not the knowledge in the classroom, but a series of financial theories, undercover methods, and even assassination techniques. He wants to train us into undefended weapons and needs to perform various tasks.
Mission, to build his business empire, and we are just pawns in his hands."
"During this process for more than ten years, my life has been extremely gloomy. It wasn't until I met you that I realized the beauty of life. Dear Li, how much I want to be with you forever... But, the beauty of life
Life is short. My mission this time is to spy on you and then take the opportunity to seize the elixir of life. However, it seems that my mission has failed, but that’s okay, otherwise my life will be like a cold machine, without a trace.
The cycle of restrictions continues. Li, it was you who made me feel the true love in the world. I will never forget you... Stillman and Dupont are very cunning. They also sent other masters from other countries this time. I'm afraid
He is just lying dormant in the Changbai Mountains, waiting for the opportunity to move, so you must be careful."
"Li, I'm sorry, thank you."
Maria was so honest. Although he was talking about the result of her tragic defeat, there was a relieved and sweet smile on the corner of his mouth, as if all the grievances and sorrows in his heart were expressed, and she could finally get rid of being a chess piece.
The puppet life.
"Maria, hold on!" Li Xiao was moved and shouted softly. At the same time, the surging Qi in his body kept circulating, turning into a warm current and flowing to her shoulders, hoping to maintain his strength.
heart pulse.
But at this moment, Maria was like the setting sun, full of twilight energy. The excessive loss of blood also caused his life energy to dissipate quickly. In the end, her dim eyes completely drooped until they were closed, and her life energy was quickly dissipated.
The vitality also disappeared, but there was a faint smile on the corner of her mouth, and she looked very peaceful under the sunlight.
Dying in the arms of the one you love may also be a kind of happiness.
Immorton is also a very infatuated person. It can be said that whether it is a thousand years ago or a thousand years later, his biggest wish is to be with his true love Evelyn forever, but his fate has never been smooth.
.And the reason why he worked so hard to refine the elixir of immortality for Li Xiao was because he hoped that after successfully refining the elixir, he could use it as a bargaining chip to exchange for the Holy Urn and the Sun Bible from Li Xiao in accordance with the previous contract.
Therefore, the extent of Immorton's infatuation can be seen. At this time, when I heard Maria's confession to Li Xiao, I was deeply moved. I couldn't help but feel a sore nose. I looked away because I couldn't bear to see this scene.
…
A sharp roar suddenly broke the moment of tranquility.
"Hurry and search for those pills, they also fell down the cliff together." But the First Emperor quickly realized something, and he looked down towards the bottom of the cliff.
Just now he clearly saw Maria jumping off the cliff with pills in her hands, but when Maria was rescued, the pills in her hand were missing. It was obvious that they must have fallen to the bottom of the cliff.
"First Emperor, actually this elixir of immortality has always been in my hand and has not been spilled." Li Xiao stared at the dead Maria for a long time, and it took a long time to come back to his senses. There was still a sad look in his eyes.
He opened his hand, revealing the five elixirs inside.
Taking a closer look, I saw that these five elixirs were completely different from the previous ones. Not only were they brown, but they were also crystal clear. There was a layer of mysterious spiritual patterns under the surface, which shone brightly and became even more shining under the sunlight.
It was a divine light that shone in three colors, and the medicinal fragrance that was a hundred times stronger than before seemed to fill the entire mountain range.
"How dare you deceive me!" The First Emperor couldn't help but get furious when he saw that he didn't know what was going on.
It has to be said that the vision of heaven and earth when the medicine was completed was so real that it even deceived him.
"First Emperor, this was what Immorton and I discussed together. The purpose was to lure the undercover agent to show up. 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.
The First Emperor handed over the elixir of longevity in his hand.
Seeing the elixir of immortality, the First Emperor couldn't help but feel moved in his heart. The anger in his heart subsided a little. He took the elixir of eternity that exuded a mysterious luster, put it in front of his eyes and looked at it carefully, feeling the powerful power of the medicine.
Suddenly there was a burst of ecstasy and laughter.
But at this moment, around the top of the mountain, a cry of killing suddenly sounded!
