Didn’t I poison him directly?
Li Xunle turned to Zhao Hao and said, "Ri Tian, be careful not to kill indiscriminately. This time, we must ask clearly what their purpose is in searching for the stone of life and death."
Zhao Hao immediately nodded, "Okay, Big Brother, I'll listen to you!"
As the two conversed, twelve Cube Red Envoys flew rapidly towards Li Xunle.
They were awe-inspiring and exuded a powerful aura.
Behind them, red, wing-shaped light was very magical, and their flapping was almost imperceptible.
It was like a dragonfly flapping its wings in flight.
Li Xunle noticed that the Cube Red Envoys' flight speed was significantly faster than that of the Cube Black Envoys.
In a few breaths' time, the twelve Cube Red Envoys flew to within tens of meters of Li Xunle.
They hovered in the air, on the same horizontal plane as Li Xunle on the hilltop, confronting him silently.
The atmosphere was tense and oppressive, but Li Xunle remained calm as water, not flustered in the slightest.
One of the Cube Red Envoys, with eyes like torches, stared at Li Xunle: "Li Xunle? From your expression, you know about us?"
The speaker was a middle-aged man, around forty-five years old, tall and upright, about 1.8 meters in height.
His face was slightly rounded, his skin dark, without obvious wrinkles or blemishes.
His entire body shimmered with five or six silver moons and numerous golden stars.
At this moment, his face was expressionless, his tone calm as water, devoid of any emotion, like a cold robot.
Li Xunle did not answer immediately, his gaze sweeping over the twelve Cube Red Envoys.
Their chests did indeed bear red square markings.
Li Xunle was very sure that they were the Cube Red Envoys.
However, what surprised him was that these Cube Red Envoys were actually adorned with many rotating silver moons.
They each had at least five silver moons rotating on their bodies.
After a moment of thought, Li Xunle calmly and unhurriedly said, "You are the so-called Cube Red Envoys?"
"Indeed, you know us. Let me introduce myself, I am Bai Liqing Shan, captain of the Eighteenth Squad of the Cube Red Envoys. You should be able to guess the purpose of our visit, right?"
Bai Liqing Shan stared at Li Xunle with eyes like torches and an expressionless face.
"Purpose?" Li Xunle smiled slightly: "I guess you're here to deliver the cube key."
Bai Liqing Shan heard the teasing in Li Xunle's tone but didn't pay much attention.
He narrowed his eyes, staring at Li Xunle, and said playfully, "You shouldn't dare to kill us, otherwise, if the Red Anomaly descends, this planet will be finished."
Li Xunle's gaze was profound, and he sneered contemptuously.
Don't dare to kill? That's overthinking it.
If he weren't on Blue Star, he might worry if Mei Changshu and the others could handle the Red Anomaly's arrival.
But since he was currently on Blue Star, it was completely different... At worst, he would kill them, then kill the Red Anomaly. Was there any difficulty in that?
Oh, right.
They didn't know about his percentage damage.
Li Xunle narrowed his eyes: "So you plan to take advantage of my scruples, my not daring to kill you, and seize the opportunity to kill me?"
Bai Liqing Shan's expressionless face finally revealed a slight smile.
He said coldly, "That's right, you guessed correctly. I wonder if you're scared now?"
Li Xunle's eyes flickered, as if he was thinking about something.
The next second, he feigned fear and said weakly, "Yes, you're so strong, I'm so scared..."
He paused, "However, for the sake of a dying man like me, can you tell me what you're really doing by seizing the stone of life and death?"
Zhao Hao watched Li Xunle's feigned fear from the side, holding back his laughter.
He thought: "Good heavens, a big battle is imminent, and he's actually acting... What a great performance!"
"It's a shame he's not an actor with such acting skills!"
Tens of meters away, Bai Liqing Shan looked at the fear on Li Xunle's face, a look of satisfaction on his own.
In his imagination, everyone approached by the Cube Red Envoys should look like this: scared, terrified, desperate, and at a loss.
The corners of his mouth curled slightly upwards, and he said coldly, "Seeing your pitiful appearance, there's no harm in telling you. We're not only seizing the stone of life and death, but also the sacred gold stone, sacred wood stone, sacred water stone, sacred fire stone, and sacred earth stone. As for the purpose, it's naturally for... suppression!"
Upon hearing this, a subtle, hard-to-detect glint flashed in Li Xunle's eyes.
He finally heard the keyword.
They were actually seizing all sorts of stones... But... why not kidney stones?
Also, they mentioned suppression?
Li Xunle, with a curious expression, continued to inquire, "Suppression? Suppress what?"
Bai Liqing Shan looked at Li Xunle as if he were an ant, his disdain completely unconcealed.
He snorted coldly, "Naturally, it's to suppress those Luck Spirit Beasts. They've been a bit restless lately, wanting to turn the world upside down, but how could that be possible? This world has long been completely controlled by that terrifying existence."
Luck Spirit Beasts? Terrifying existence?
Hearing these words, Li Xunle felt the truth getting closer and closer!
Li Xunle pressed again, "Where are they suppressed?"
Bai Liqing Shan smiled coldly, "Am I giving you too much leeway? Why so many questions?"
Upon hearing this, Li Xunle's entire demeanor instantly changed, and his staff quickly waved.
In the blink of an eye, all twelve Cube Red Envoys had a pale green halo above their heads.
Li Xunle sneered contemptuously, "Tell me all the secrets about the stone of life and death, otherwise, death awaits you."
Bai Liqing Shan heard Li Xunle's words and immediately nervously checked his health.
The next second, a hint of panic flashed in his eyes, because he found his health steadily decreasing, neither fast nor slow... The other eleven Cube Red Envoys also changed their expressions.
They immediately pulled out gaudy scrolls from their backpacks.
Seeing this, Li Xunle immediately shouted, "Ri Tian, get far away!"
After speaking, he himself directly activated the Undying Golden Body, his body shimmering with a faint golden aura.
Beside him, Zhao Hao heard Li Xunle's words and immediately flew away on his sword, moving extremely fast, disappearing into the sky in a blink of an eye.
If he were told to go up, he might hesitate.
But if he were told to run, he wouldn't hesitate at all.
In the air, after Bai Liqing Shan and the others used the scrolls in their hands, no one disappeared, nor did anything unusual happen.
This made Li Xunle somewhat surprised.
Shouldn't they be using some outrageous skill to attack him?
What were they doing?
Just as he was full of questions, Bai Liqing Shan's face changed drastically, and he roared in panic, "Damn it, what kind of poison is this? Why can't even this Sacred Light Scroll dispel it? Didn't it say it could cleanse all kinds of negative statuses? Is it a fake?! Damn it!"
At this moment, he was truly a bit panicked, and his emotions were gradually becoming frantic.
Only then did Li Xunle understand that they had been trying to detoxify themselves... It seemed that staying alive was everyone's first instinct.
He watched them with interest, and said coldly, "You only have less than a hundred seconds. Tell me the secret of the stone of life and death, and I'll detoxify you. Otherwise, you'll surely die."
Bai Liqing Shan's face was flushed, his expression uncertain.
He watched his health decrease, hesitated for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "What I just said about those stones, I heard they're used to suppress the Luck Spirit Beasts of high-star worlds. I don't know anything more specific..."
Upon hearing this, Li Xunle immediately pressed, "High-star world? Which one?"
Bai Liqing Shan's face alternated between green and pale: "That, I really don't know!"
Li Xunle's face was expressionless: "Is that so? Then you all don't need to live!"
Bai Liqing Shan was extremely angry: "But you just said you'd detoxify us, damn it! If you have the guts, detoxify us and fight us head-on!"
Li Xunle showed a strange smile: "Didn't I... poison you head-on?"
