The candles in the hall were flickering brightly and dimly.
Even though electricity has become widespread, feudal lamp oil is still burning in this ancient hall.
The strange fragrance lingered in the hall, seeming to be offsetting the rotten smell emanating from the old emperor's body.
Human beings do not begin to decay only after death.
Some people die earlier than expected.
"You stink now, like a ball of rotting meat. You are going to die!" Standing in front of the old emperor, Lin Xi looked at him indifferently.
Arcs of electricity were dancing on the old emperor's body. They were so violent and so dazzling.
The old emperor took a deep breath, trying hard to see Lin Xi clearly.
He could no longer tell who it was by the sound.
He couldn't even see Lin Xi's face clearly.
Lin Xi took out a jade box from the old emperor's arms.
Inside the box is a red pill.
Of course, this thing is not a magic elixir, and the old emperor actually knows what it is.
It is a 'life-killing pill' with various heavy metals exceeding the standard.
However... as long as you eat it, all the body's functions will be in a state of excitement in a very short period of time.
It seems that in an instant, people become younger and their vitality returns.
Of course, the last thing that is inevitable is death.
This pill was originally prepared by the old emperor to stay in Guanjian and use it in one go.
But now, Lin Xi directly pinched open the old emperor's cheeks, and then poured the elixir into it.
After coughing several times, an abnormal blush appeared on the old emperor's originally pale face.
His breathing became rapid.
The old emperor supported his body with his arms and stood up.
The electric arc jumped more fiercely on his body.
Suddenly... a large amount of electric light turned into a spear, and the spear flew straight into Lin Xi's chest.
Lin Xi had already predicted this scene, so he retreated in advance.
The spear flew quickly and shattered a wall, pressing some eunuchs who were originally slumped in the corner under the bricks.
"If I were you... I wouldn't waste such energy."
"Besides, without my help, you wouldn't even be able to take the elixir yourself." Lin Xi stood aside and said with a sneer.
The old emperor's voice was sharp. He spurted out blood foam and looked at Lin Xi viciously: "You traitor and traitor!"
Regarding the old emperor's accusation, Lin Xi had no interest in arguing with him.
Most people who hold power do not consider the responsibilities that come with power. They think about how to obtain higher, greater, and longer rights.
When the old emperor was young, he may have had ambitions, talents, and a better understanding of responsibility.
That's why the greatest Xia Empire was created today.
However, now he is just an old man who is greedy for life and afraid of death.
"Won't you open the door?"
"According to my estimate... you have less than three minutes at most, which is not a long time." Lin Xi said.
When the old emperor's words came to his lips, he immediately became silent.
Then the arc on his body began to condense continuously.
Above the sky, a large number of thunderclouds hovered.
In the electric light, it seemed that various objects transformed by electric arcs were finally thrown into one place, falling down like raindrops of light and sinking into the old emperor's body.
The old emperor tried his best to open his eyes, and then stretched out his hands.
He saw it!
He saw a door!
He even smelled the majestic scenery behind that door.
Immortal, immortal, powerful over all things, indestructible and indestructible!
He worked hard towards the door.
The current... the current flowing through his body became the force that pushed him forward.
One step! One step! He is approaching quickly.
The old emperor already knew the reason for Cai Yuan's failure.
He lost because he did not accumulate enough, and he also lost because he was not decisive enough.
Therefore, the old emperor kept doing nothing and directly detonated all the accumulation.
He felt his soul soaring.
At this moment, he seemed to have surpassed himself at any time, and a reality he had never felt before was shining into his soul.
"It's coming! I'm going to do it! It's going to be done!"
The old emperor's face showed obvious joy.
Then... he felt that his soul hit a door.
Then... there was a snap!
He was like an egg cracked in a wok.
The door didn't shake even a bit.
He's not even like Cai Yuan, stuck in the crack of the door.
He was blocked directly from the door.
"impossible!"
"Impossible! My accumulation is even greater than Cai Yuan's, and my influence is far greater than Cai Yuan's... Why can't I? Why can't I even get in?" the old emperor collapsed and roared.
His mouth had begun to spurt blood, and his internal organs could no longer withstand such strong toxin damage.
"Because you don't understand what real electricity is, you are just a thief. You use your rights to appropriate others' achievements, and openly promote them to become stronger, but... you don't really know, what you are really doing
What is it? What is it that you are really using? What kind of will does it have? Do you regard it as a tool... How can it be integrated into your soul and bring you real power?" Lin Xi stood aside.
said.
This was something Lin Xi expected.
From a long time ago, this was just a game played by Lin Xi to take advantage of the old emperor.
When the old emperor heard this, his already red eyes became dim.
But he turned furious and pointed at Lin Xi: "It's you! You have been plotting against me! What do you want to do?"
"Are you still the boss's man?"
Then he exploded without any need for confirmation: "No matter what your purpose is... I will die today, and you... will definitely go with me!"
After saying that, electric light surged all over his body and struck towards Lin Xi.
His steps were already staggering, but with the help of the arc, his speed was very fast.
Lin Xi seemed unable to dodge.
But he didn't dodge either.
For a moment, the whole world seemed to stop.
Time came to an absolute standstill at this second.
A door also appeared in front of Lin Xi's eyes.
And this door is not the state of consciousness.
It is truly projected onto the world, showing a concrete appearance.
Then Lin Xi stretched out his hand.
At this moment, the stagnant time begins to flow.
Lin Xi's hand grasped the doorknob, and then pushed it gently.
The door is open!
The scenery inside the door flowed out like water, and then poured into Lin Xi's body.
That terrifying electric light was like sheep seeing a tiger, all of them were surrounding obediently, not daring to come any closer.
"You...!" The old emperor pointed at Lin Xi, and he was so angry that he vomited blood.
What was vomited out along with the blood were many pieces of internal organs.
The old emperor was furious to death!
He never understood until his death why he couldn't shake the slightest door, but it seemed so easy here in Linxi.
So...Did Lin Xi really open the door?
(I am restless and worried about the future. Ten years of hard work may be in vain. The update is late. Please forgive me! Thank you!)
