CHAPTER 229: CHAPTER 127 NECKLACE_3

Previously, he heard from Ximen Guan that some Demon Spirit Gemstones would bring a bloody disaster, just like the Doom Diamond.

When the people of the Eternal Heaven encounter such gemstones, they often find a "substitute" to contract with the Demon Spirit Gemstone, and then observe secretly.

Once the substitute has contracted with the demon spirit in the gemstone, the Eternal Heaven people kill the substitute to take back the Demon Spirit Gemstone.

They use the process of observing the substitute’s contract to find a safe way to contract with the Demon Spirit Gemstone.

They have used this trick many times on the Doom Diamond, but until the diamond ended up in Ximen Guan’s hands, they still couldn’t find a safe way to contract with it.

In the meantime, many substitutes died.

If this necklace was indeed deliberately sold by the Eternal Heaven to the Big Mine Master, then unquestionably, Ah Xiang was a substitute, and maybe the Eternal Heaven person is hidden within this estate.

The Big Mine Master hesitated for a long time, but finally steeled his heart and ordered one of his bodyguards to open the wooden box.

Li Xiu saw an extremely luxurious necklace lying in the box, with countless colorful diamonds, probably more than a hundred, just counting those visible, not including the unknown number of diamond fragments.

The diamonds were red and blue, the two most valuable colors.

But on this necklace, they were merely supporting characters; the round blue light crystal was the star of the necklace, and even the diamonds couldn’t steal its brilliance.

"It’s indeed a Demon Spirit Gemstone." Li Xiu took one look and knew it was a Demon Spirit Gemstone without a doubt because he instantly felt a strong hunger in his stomach upon seeing it.

"If I can save your daughter, can this necklace be considered my reward?" Li Xiu asked the Big Mine Master.

"Of course, provided you save my daughter first." The Big Mine Master replied.

"That’s quite simple..." Li Xiu said with a smile, but before he could finish, he suddenly erupted with unparalleled speed, reaching for the necklace in the box.

The bodyguard holding the box had a glint in his eye, and suddenly a small red sword appeared in his hand, flying out on its own, stabbing at Li Xiu’s hand reaching for the necklace.

Bam!

Li Xiu withdrew the Fire Lotus Sword with his left hand, striking against the red sword, and almost simultaneously, a Jedi Knight appeared beside him, slashing a blood-colored Crescent Blade Light at the nearby bodyguard.

The bodyguard punched towards the Blood Light Slash, a blue metallic gauntlet appearing on his fist, directly shattering the Blood Light Slash upon impact.

A loud bang!

Li Xiu now had a handgun in his hand, firing at the box and causing it to fall down.

Li Xiu swiftly snagged the necklace into his hand.

He hadn’t shot the Trial Taker because he had already discerned that the Trial Taker’s physical condition was stronger than Sha Chu’s, likely a higher-level Trial Taker, meaning the handgun’s bullets might not harm him.

"Do you think you can walk out of here alive?" The Big Mine Master stared at Li Xiu furiously.

Two bodyguards had already blocked Li Xiu and Ah Fei in the room from both front and back, sealing off any possible escape routes.

Li Xiu ignored the Big Mine Master and looked at the bodyguard from whom he took the necklace, "That necklace is yours, right?"

The bodyguard was a young man, looking decent but a bit reserved.

"You dare take it knowing?" The bodyguard snorted coldly.

The Big Mine Master was slightly startled, realizing that this bodyguard might be suspicious, prompting him to step back.

"You didn’t tell me beforehand it was yours." Li Xiu said with a smile.

"Since you know what it is, you should recognize this box even if you don’t recognize me." The bodyguard said coldly.

"I recognize it." Li Xiu nodded.

"Then you know what to do." The bodyguard said.

"I do." Li Xiu replied, then summoned the Pink Nightmare, turning and mounting with Ah Fei. The Pink Nightmare let out a long cry, leaping over the head of the bodyguard behind them, crashing through the window, and jumped out from the second floor.

The bodyguard wasn’t from Eternal Heaven, merely a regular E-level Trial Taker, and had never seen such a scene, leaving him stunned on the spot.

"Courting death!" The Eternal Heaven Trial Taker snorted coldly, and leapt out the window.

While still in mid-air, a giant golden bird appeared under his feet, and he landed on its back, riding the golden bird to chase after Li Xiu and Ah Fei.

The Big Mine Master and the other bodyguard were dumbfounded; they never expected that the person who had been by their side for so long would have such a hidden side.

The Big Mine Master now roughly understood that the necklace and his daughter’s predicament were probably orchestrated by this bodyguard.

However, this bodyguard had grown up around him, almost like half a son, the Big Mine Master had watched him grow up, never imagining he would turn out this way.

In fact, the Big Mine Master was unaware that the young man he regarded as kin possessed such terrifying abilities, nor had he ever seen the golden bird before.

"How can this be?" The Big Mine Master stared dumbly at the golden bird disappearing beyond the estate.

Li Xiu rode the Pink Nightmare, jumping out of the estate. Glancing back, he saw the golden bird speeding through the sky, faster than the Pink Nightmare.

The golden bird’s body glowed with golden light patterns, its beak emanating a glow akin to Golden Crystal, presumably a shining magical spirit of unknown level.

The golden bird was much faster than the Pink Nightmare, quickly closing in.

A small red sword flew through the air, aiming for the back of Li Xiu’s head.

Li Xiu drew the Fire Lotus Sword and struck at the red sword. As the two swords clashed, Li Xiu felt a tremendous force, causing his entire body to fall from the Pink Nightmare’s back.
