Late at night.

Tian Xian still did not sleep, in recent days, Tian Xian obviously felt that the effect of the reverse heart trick was much stronger than before, whether it was the level of his body, or the spiritual strengthening, he would not feel sleepy if he didn't sleep all day, four or five hours of rest within two days was enough, and the more he was in a quiet environment, he seemed to be more and more energetic.

He successfully forged a very ordinary stigma on the apprentice's short sword, but Tian Xian sighed.

Gu Li didn't show up again today, and she and Zhuoya had been stuffed in the room since the tentative competition.

Tian Xian scratched her head hard, Gu Li said that there was a way for her to agree to her request, but the duel was only three days later, and now she was suddenly not in a hurry, could it be that she was preparing something?

After thinking about it, Tianxian still couldn't rest assured, pinned the short sword to his waist, and walked lightly to Gu Li's room.

Although the room with oversized books is simple, it will not leak light at all, anyway, the most important thing here is books, there is no problem with three or four layers of books on a wall, and Tianxian even suspects that such a room will be kept warm even if it is thrown into the ice and snow.

Looking at the simple wooden door, Tian Xian hesitated for a moment, and finally knocked lightly twice, and the surroundings of Guli's room were surrounded by Zhuoma's energy ban with Yoda's gem, and the sound inside could not be heard outside, but the sound outside could be heard clearly.

However, even Zhuoma himself didn't know that it was precisely because of this layer of energy prohibition that Gu Li could use the Source Crystal Stigmata to cultivate in it with peace of mind, otherwise. The energy fluctuations of this Source Crystal Stigmata leaked out, and I am afraid that it will cause a lot of trouble again.

After all, this Source Crystal Stigmata was exchanged for those Source Crystals stolen by Gu Li. Although things have been almost a month away, until now. The ancient city, led by Vero, is still searching for the whereabouts of this thief.

It's just that no one can believe that the reason why Gu Li was able to steal those Source Crystal Holy Marks was actually ninety percent dependent on luck, which was not a normal way to find traces at all, plus she didn't have the strength level of the inner city at all, although Vero had always suspected her, but she couldn't find even the slightest evidence.

Just when Tianxian was thinking about how to enlighten Gu Li, the door opened almost when Tianxian was about to knock for the second time, and Gu Li was already standing at the door. It's still a "light and simple" dress.

Tianxian was slightly stunned, "You're waiting for me!"

Gu Li smiled a little slyly, "Of course! I knew it would be like this." ”

"What...... So?"

Gu Li didn't explain, she directly reached out and grabbed Tianxian and threw it into the room, quickly closed the door, walked back very happily, sat on her tattered small bed, and said with a smile: "So, you agreed!"

"What nonsense are you talking about, I'm here to persuade you not to kill yourself!" couldn't help frowning, "You only see the benefits, but you don't see how dangerous it is!"

"Something that gives you some kind of power in a way that borders on your life, that kind of thing...... I know that!" said Guli, raising her eyebrows slightly. "Although your approach is unique, don't think that ...... You're the only one who has ever done anything like that!"

When Tian Xian heard this, he was a little surprised. "What did you say?"

Guli sat there, looking at her slender and round legs almost with some fascination. "After the Bright Moon, I will be twenty years old. At the age of twenty, many people who cultivate the stigma are still struggling to find a way to get started, and I have already reached the final stage of the refining stage, and if I go up, I will step into the realm of the truly strong person, don't you think, I'm too powerful?"

"This ......," a strange look flashed across Tianxian's face, "this seems to be ...... It's not shocking, as far as I know......"

"I know......" Guli interrupted Tianxian, her fingers rhythmically tapping on her knees, "There are many peers in this world who are better than me, such as Teemo we met at the beginning, such as Zhuoya, and many more...... But I must say that there is indeed a talent for birth and fertility, birth, understanding, money, and power in this world...... All of them affect the progress of the Stigmata's cultivation, but compared to those who were born with the Golden Key, I have nothing!"

Gu Li looked up at Tian Xian and said indifferently: "I'm just an abandoned orphan who doesn't know who my parents are, and I have no talent for cultivation, and I'm even very clumsy, but at the age of twenty, I'm already qualified to compete with those guys with extraordinary talents, do you know why?"

Tian Xian had a faint premonition of extreme discomfort in his heart, and frowned slightly.

Gu Li smiled lightly: "Guessed it, right? I did practice hard, and I did make efforts beyond the reach of ordinary people, but a large part of the reason was because I got the secret method of the West Temple, it was when I was very young, and I couldn't even remember too many things, but I remember this matter very clearly, I and Zhuo Ya have been tempered by this secret method, and there are many children with us, but the one who survived in the end ......"

Tianxian's eyes shrank twice, "You...... What do you say?"

"Is it incredible?" Gu Li looked at Tianxian calmly, "The Holy Spirit Temple, which adheres to justice and mercy, would actually do such a thing?But under justice there must be evil, light is accompanied by darkness, the Holy Spirit Temple has never only had the east hall, our west hall is all the darkness, of course...... What outsiders see is only the self-sacrifice of the ungodly self-sacrifice that condemns evil and plunges the soul into darkness, but this sacrifice ...... And it's not just the righteous side that people see!"

A layer of anger slowly rose in Tianxian's eyes, could it be that this is how the Holy Spirit Temple selects talents, relying on such means to stand tall for thousands of years? On the one hand, they preach their own benevolence and their own fraternity, but on the other hand, they trample on those helpless creatures like this!

"Are you angry?" said Guli.

"Nobody likes to hear anything like that!"

"It's not the least liked place!" Gul shook her head, "Do you know why Gunn didn't hesitate to kick me out of the West Temple?"

"Why?" Tianxian's voice was slightly cold.

"Because I'm twenty years old!" Gu Li's voice carried a strange ethereal feeling, "The last envoy was also half of my teacher. She took office at the age of seventeen and died in battle at the age of nineteen. He took office at the age of 16 and died in battle at the age of 20. She also took office at the age of sixteen, but disappeared at the age of twenty, and then ...... forward."

Gu Li said slowly, but Tian Xian gradually felt a chill on his back, Gu Li said in one breath the term of service of the eight past generations of interrogators, all of them took office at the age of sixteen or seventeen, and they were either killed in battle or disappeared before the age of twenty!

"I'm the only one who has survived so far, and I don't even have a scar on my body!"

Gu Li couldn't help but pause when she said this, and her face showed a slight bitterness. "Because, this generation of executioners who took office and partnered with the Torture Envoy is the strongest one in a hundred years!"

"Zoya?"

"Not bad...... Guli said self-deprecatingly, "I can live so long, in fact, thanks to Zhuoya to protect me, I should have died many times when I was on a mission, and she saved me, many times, many times...... And today ......"

"Why didn't all the previous envoys live to be twenty years old?" asked Tian Xian Ningsheng.

"Because. Twenty years old...... It's supposed to be the limit of the body, right?"

"The limit of the body?" Tian Xian took a slight breath.

"We have all been tempered by secret methods since childhood, and we will get good cultivation talents, and we are extremely strong in spirit and body, especially girls. That's why the young combatants in the West Hall are always predominantly female, but I've only recently begun to understand one thing!"

Gu Li raised her hand and watched her fingers stretch with a blank expression. Tightened, "this body." In fact, I can't use it for too long, and recently ...... I already feel this obviously. ”

For a moment I couldn't believe my ears.

Guli continued, "Maybe when the Silent Forest is defeated by you. This is already a sign of this, Gunn is well aware of our situation, he did not hesitate to choose to discard my useless pawn, he did not feel sorry, because in the secret training center of the West Temple, there are still many people like me waiting for him to use. ”

Gu Li put down her hand, "It's like, if something is used badly, you have to throw it away and use a new one." ”

Tianxian's body began to slowly tremble...... The furious Tianxian really didn't expect that the Holy Spirit Temple would be so filthy!

"Does Zoya know this?"

"I'm not sure!" Gu Li shook her head, "It's just my guess, but even if it's true, I think her will is unshakable, she is not as greedy for life and afraid of death as I am......"

Tian Xian walked up quickly, "Lie down, I want to check your current physical condition!"

Gu Li looked at Tian Xian with a calm expression, just smiled and didn't move, "If my body is really going to collapse, what will happen to you?"

"Maybe there's a way!"

"And what about Zoya?"

It's a suffocation, yes...... Even if it can save the situation that Gu Li's body is about to collapse, how can Zhuoya deal with it?

"Zhuoya, isn't she also approaching the limit?" asked Tian Xian.

"Zoya is two years younger than me, and she's the strongest executioner in a hundred years, with the exception of her. ”

Tian Xian frowned......

Gently stretching out her hands, Gu Li pressed Tianxian's shoulders, "Little ghost, help me this time! Although I have entered the final stage of refining, I can clearly feel that my body is slowly weakening, and I don't have time! I don't want to die silently like this, I hope my previous choice can be valuable! Even if it doesn't make much sense, but while I can still act, I hope to fulfill some wishes as myself!"

Tianxian felt that Gu Li's hands were heavy and he couldn't bear it!

Suddenly, the annoying woman in front of me actually ...... Are you going to die?

"What the hell are you ......," Tian Xian asked in a slightly hoarse voice.

Gu Li shook her head helplessly, "Okay, I knew you wouldn't agree lightly, obviously a little bit, but you always like to worry about other people's affairs." ”

Pulling out a knife from her body, Gu Li sat with her legs crossed, "Look clearly, I don't want to do it a second time!"

Then, Gu Li actually gently put the knife on her full thigh, gently stabbed a little, and slowly moved the tip of the knife......

Tianxian didn't stop Gu Li, but watched with a slight twitch in the corners of his eyes as Gu Li slowly scratched a shallow scar on her own leg, and the blood slowly flowed down, but Gu Li's expression did not change in the slightest, it was not an expression of self-patience. But...... Numbness!

After a cut of more than two inches, Guli stopped. With a wry smile, he said, "My stigma almost always relies on my legs to attack, and now. I can't feel the pain in my legs anymore, and my legs have begun to become numb since I came to Thunder Ancient City!"

Tianxian seemed to want to touch the wound, but finally held back, "How long do you estimate?"

"I don't know, but if it doesn't get worse, it might last for more than a month. ”

Is there only this time? Tian Xian's heart tightened slightly.

"So, are you going to fight with Zhuoya?"

"The longer it drags on. It's already going to be worse for me, and I don't want her to see me weak!"

Tianxian was silent for a long time......

"This ...... It may be very dangerous, this technique has only been used on the fourth girl and you before, although the risk of your time has been controlled to less than one-tenth, but obviously the danger is more than I expected, and if your body is like this, this may directly kill you!"

"You think I'm ...... now Are you still afraid of death?" Gu Li smiled leisurely.

Tian Xian let out a long breath and looked at Gu Li calmly, "I suddenly feel ...... You're actually pretty good......"

"Haha!"

Gu Li unceremoniously knocked on Tian Xian's head. "Little ghost, you have to remember, you're only eleven years old, don't worry so much about other people's affairs! There are unlucky ghosts like me dying at any time in this world, you look like this...... I won't live long!"

"Okay!"

Tianxian finally nodded. "If you die, I'll remember you, though you're a little annoying. ”

"Oh......" Gu Li smiled freely. "It's a luxury to have someone to miss after death. So...... What do we need to prepare?"

"Be prepared to die, you don't need to prepare anything else!"

"That kind of thing. I don't need to prepare at all. ”

Ten minutes later, Tian Xian returned to Gu Li's room, his face was a little dignified, and he had something more in his hands.

In the past nearly a month, in addition to practicing the method of refining here, Tian Xian has also prepared a lot of things, anyway, eating and drinking here are all free, but he kept the money saved and customized some things outside the city.

The new 120 silver needles are completely custom-made according to the requirements of Tianxian, whether it is thickness or length, it is much easier to use than the previous needles.

Gu Li sat on the small bed and looked curiously at Tian Xian Man's needle bag, "This...... Are you going to stab me again?"

"Not a single one will be left!"

Gu Li swallowed her saliva, "Isn't it particularly painful?"

"Yes!" Tian Xian replied very affirmatively, "The natural muscles and blood veins of the human body are not completely unblocked, this is not actually a defect, but a kind of self-protection in line with the physical condition. ”

Gu Li looked stunned, and couldn't understand Tianxian's words at all.

"I will use the power of the evil eye to assist and forcibly open these acupuncture veins of yours, of course, there is a choice, one by one, you will get great benefits for this, but during this period your muscles will twitch, internal organs will be colic, and even blood will have a short reflux, all you have to do is to endure!"

Tian Xian looked at Gu Li with an unprecedented solemn expression: "Remember! When you can't bear it, you must tell me, there is no one in this world who can open up all the acupoints in the body, the more you can open up, the closer you are to death, and when the time comes, you have to turn your eyes to tell me your limit, that should be the only place where you can still move!"

Guli blinked, "That...... Do I need to undress? Speaking of which, you haven't seen a beautiful woman's body, do you? Do you want your sister to cheapen you once!?"

"No need now, after you die, I will check your body, I want to know the specific reason for your body collapse, but now there is not so much time, three days, you have to try your best to adapt to the new physical condition!"

Gu Li's face turned pale: "No need...... You won't even spare a corpse!?"

"I'd love to know what the Holy Spirit Temple is doing, though it makes me angry! ”

Gu Li slumped her shoulders and looked like she was about to roll her eyes, "Damn the gods, don't you discuss with me what will happen after I die, okay? I'm still alive now......"

"Well, let's get started!"

Tian Xian twisted the first silver needle, "I have to seal your body first, so that you don't struggle too much, this is not comfortable!"

"All I need is patience, right?" said Gul.

A little red light shone through Tianxian's fingertips, and the silver needle became hot in an instant.

The needle was quickly drawn at an almost unrecognizable speed, and the first needle of Tianxian stabbed Gu Li's neck with great precision, "Specifically, you have to risk your life to endure it now!"

Tianxian didn't need to do any processing on the silver needle, the fire power of the evil eye would purify every breath on the silver needle, and bring the scorching fire power into Gu Li's body.

Eighteen silver needles fell on Gu Li's body, and she was completely unable to move, only her eyes could still move, and her mouth opened and closed slightly.

Twisting the nineteenth silver needle, Tian Xian's eyes were full of solemnity, and the time for the silver needle to be quenched by the fire power of the evil eye was twice as long as before, and it stabbed into Gu Li's back like lightning.

Gu Li's body, which had not reacted since just now, suddenly trembled, and her face immediately tensed.

"Bear with me!"

Tian Xian quickly picked up the next silver needle, "There are one hundred and one more! How many are used to open the acupuncture veins, it depends on how long you can endure it, you had better survive, otherwise the corpse will be completely mine!" (To be continued......)
