Lin Fengting went straight to Changdao right after the change happened in Huating.
After the successful breakthrough in Huating, the East Island elites traveled by sea, and Lin Fengting also traveled by sea. Both of them almost reached the battlefield at the same time, and their speed was very fast.
But they were still too late.
They were a step late.
Lin Fengting’s eyes lost focus.
In their sights, Li Tianlan slowly put away his aggressive sword intent that he brought up with just a sword, but the sharpness in the sky nearly froze.
His pride and sharpness could easily tear everything apart.
A man and a sword, together they were the whole world.
The rest were just nonent.i.ties.
Li Tianlan walked up to the sky, step by step.
His figure was stable, but he was shaking like the sword edge.
The scarlet red sword and the snow-white figure seemed to merge into one at that moment, and it became hard to tell them apart.
The battlefield became quiet again.
Tianhai Wuji stood with Liusheng Cangquan, looking at Lin Fengting with a serious expression.
They didn’t know Lin Fengting, but he could lend the sword to Li Tianlan from thousands of meters away. People who could do this at least would be in the Invincible Realm.
The sword was lent to Li Tianlan.
For East Island, Lin Fengting was definitely not a friend.
In the battlefield, if one person wasn’t a friend, he was an enemy.
“Why so serious…”
Lin Fengting finally spoke as he looked at Li Tianlan. This hermit, who was free and untamed, now sounded a little powerless and sad.
At this moment, he was a little touched by the sharpness in Li Tianlan.
This was the real Invincible Realm, the Invincible Realm that could be listed on the Divine List.
In this year, Li Tianlan was just nineteen years old.
How bright was his glory?
But this was also the last glory of the Li family in hundreds of years. How dim was his glory?
Li Tianlan suddenly remembered a word.
He said softly, “Senior, do you believe in the mandate of heaven?”
The corner of Lin Fengting’s mouth shook. He looked at Li Tianlan and suddenly couldn’t say a word.
“That’s my destiny.”
Li Tianlan said in a calm tone, “If I can survive…”
He stopped for a second, then laughed in a self-mocking way and clenched the Divine Punishment in his hands that had been hidden for hundreds of years.
“Thank you, senior.”
He said, “You no longer own the Li family anything, so be it.”
“You…”
Lin Fengting was a bit hesitant, but he finally asked, “Is there anything else you want to say?”
The nineteen-year-old Li Tianlan could barely handle the strength of the Thunder-shocking Realm in a normal situation, let alone the Invincible Realm?
Right now, the reason why Li Tianlan could still stand up was entirely because of the powerful vitality from Immortality Potion, which he was consuming.
Everything was already irredeemable.
Even the power of Immortality Potion couldn’t maintain the strength of the Invincible Realm.
When Li Tianlan used up the vitality in him, his life would come to an end.
If he could survive…
How could he survive?
“Nothing.”
Li Tianlan shook his head. In the brightest but also the loneliest afterglow in his life, he was pure and cold.
If a man was about to die, he wouldn’t care about anything after his death.
He couldn’t let some people go, he had wronged some people, and he had some regret, guilt, and reluctance.
But since he couldn’t change anything, he stayed quiet about it.
Lin Fengting stayed silent.
After a while, he nodded and looked away in another direction.
His eyes looked calm and yet deep.
On a spot far away, w.a.n.g Tianzong, the Patriarch of the w.a.n.g family of Beihai on the top of the Divine List, stood on a dark hill. He was also looking at Lin Fengting.
It was a peaceful stare without any emotion.
Behind him, Dijiang and the whole Heaven Punishment Troop stood quietly, so quiet that they merged into one.
Lin Fengting looked away.
He stopped looking at w.a.n.g Tianzong or Li Tianlan.
When Li Tianlan was in this state right now, w.a.n.g Tianzong wouldn’t and couldn’t do anything to him.
In his situation right now, even if Li Tianlan drank all the Immortality Potions from the w.a.n.g family of Beihai, nothing would change.
Because to some extent, Li Tianlan ended up like this, mainly because he drank the Immortality Potion and that bottle of Surge medicine.
Lin Fengting disappeared.
He wouldn’t do anything, because he couldn’t change anything.
If he couldn’t change anything, then he was no longer needed.
“Master, Martial Uncle Lin is mad.”
Watching Lin Fengting disappeared, Dijiang whispered.
He wasn’t completely unfamiliar with Lin Fengting. When Lin Fengting visited Mount Dibing many years ago, he thought about taking him in as his disciple.
At that time, the Jiang family also thought about this, but in the end, they changed their mind because of w.a.n.g Tianzong’s words.
“It’s better to let him stay in Beihai and explore the land than to be a guard in the Lin Clan.”
Since then, the young Jiang Hongwei became w.a.n.g Tianzong’s only disciple and then became Dijiang now.
“He has always been mad.”
w.a.n.g Tianzong said calmly, “For many years.”
Dijiang stayed silent and didn’t dare to say anything.
w.a.n.g Tianzong was still staring at the direction where Lin Fengting disappeared.
The Lin Clan lived a sequestered life, away from the Jianghu world.
Even if w.a.n.g Tianzong had a thousand words, he couldn’t spit them out.
He actually wanted to tell Lin Fengting that he really didn’t understand something; he didn’t understand the games and connection behind the relationships.
In the Jianghu world, even geniuses and invincible individuals had to do things that they didn’t want to do.
There was no direct grat.i.tude or revenge in the Jianghu world. There were only compulsory rules.
No matter who it was.
But when he saw Lin Fengting disappear in front of Li Tianlan with his own eyes.
w.a.n.g Tianzong realized that it wasn’t that Lin Fengting didn’t understand; it was that he didn’t need to understand all that.
Because the Lin Clan lived a sequestered life, away from the Jianghu world.
“That’s Li Tianlan?”
Dijiang suddenly spoke at somewhere far away. He stared at Li Tianlan’s direction with a strange look in his eyes.
w.a.n.g Tianzong nodded. “What do you think?”
“He’s very powerful. I’m no match for him.”
Dijiang shook his head. “At first I wanted to find him by myself, catch him, and take him to Beihai via our secret channels. I didn’t find him back then, but I met Military Counselor from Samsara…”
He slightly squinted his eyes and seemed a bit confused.
w.a.n.g Tianzong took a deep breath and said calmly, “There’s no need for that right now.”
He looked far away.
Li Tianlan turned around in the distance with Divine Punishment in his hands.
The remaining people from Zhongzhou State were less than two hundred.
Li Tianlan walked in front of everyone from Zhongzhou State.
He was walking forward alone.
The whole battlefield was moving backward.
Reining Sword died, King Bear died, Holy Light died, Ben died, Crow died.
The leaders from all the five superpowers had died, and the elites from the five superpowers started to gather with the East Island troop out of instinct.
This wasn’t their battle anymore.
This was a battle of the superiors of the Invincible Realm!
Even superiors in the peak of the Thunder-shocking Realm had to find the right moment to get into a battle like this.
The battlefield was moving backward.
Tianhai Wuji and Liusheng Cangquan exchanged a glance, then moved forward at the same time.
“You guys are no match for me.”
Li Tianlan said in a calm and determined tone, as if he was p.r.o.nouncing judgment.
“Arrogant!”
Tianhai Wuji let out a cold laugh and said, “You really want to challenge three superiors of the Invincible Realm?”
“Nonent.i.ties.”
Li Tianlan lifted up Divine Punishment. “Three nonent.i.ties, let’s perish together.”
“If they are three nonent.i.ties, then what about me?”
A voice rang out from afar. This voice was weird and stiff, but as the voice rang out, the whole world started to growl suddenly.
A wisp of sharp and crazy killing intent rushed over from the distance.
A figure quickly approached and was getting clearer and clearer.
In front of everyone, one head with b.l.o.o.d.y red hair appeared.
The red hair was flying in the dark, and the killing intent all over the sky rushed over. A tall western man appeared on the battlefield.
The dark red long hair, the scarlet red eyes, the b.l.o.o.d.y red clothes.
He appeared at the edge of the battlefield and walked toward Li Tianlan step by step.
The footsteps were very stiff in a rigid rhythm.
He walked quietly, and somehow, there was a kind of evil and dignified solemnity.
A silver cross was hanging on his chest.
The cross was shining mildly in the dark.
“Aldak?”
Tianhai Wuji slightly raised his eyebrows, and his mumble echoed on the whole battlefield.
The battlefield was seething, and the loud growl became a giant sound wave.
Beside Saint, Qin Weibai squinted her eyes, which were cold like frost.
Aldak.
This was a name that everyone in the Dark World knew about.
He was ranked number nine on the Divine List in the Dark World, known as the eye of killing, the Killing Angel from the Vatican!
His ranking on the Divine List was behind the Saint War Angel Aresis from the Vatican, but he had a lot more fame than Aresis.
In most of the conflicts between the Vatican and the other superpowers in the Dark World, Aldak was always there. Rumor had it in the Dark World that if it wasn’t for Aldak’s strong desire to kill, when the Vatican started to establish Knights Templars, the leader of Knights Templars could have been him instead of Chaos.
Tianhai Wuji was ranked number eight on the Divine List.
Aldak was ranked number nine on the Divine List.
Plus Liusheng Cangquan and the only a.s.sa.s.sin of the Invincible Realm in the Dark World, Evil.
And the murderous weapon the Legend of Qin!
The general trend of Changdao almost finalized instantly and jumped on Li Tianlan wildly.
“His Majesty needs this man.”
Aldak laughed and pointed his finger at Li Tianlan while looking at Tianhai Wuji. “I need to take him back.”
The Majesty he mentioned was the Pope!
Tianhai Wuji looked at Li Tianlan with no expression and didn’t say anything.
Right now, there was no point in saying anything, and catching Li Tianlan was the most important thing.
Aldak walked into the battlefield.
He appeared behind Li Tianlan and walked straight to Zhongzhou State’s troop.
“Oh?”
Aldak suddenly stopped, turned around, and looked at the crowd from Zhongzhou State.
In the crowd, a young girl with a pale face stood there quietly, with a pair of clear eyes and a pretty face.
Aldak squinted his eyes.
Dongcheng Rushi also stared straight at him.
“Illusory!”
Aldak suddenly spoke and raised his eyebrows. His eyes were full of hatred, as if he wanted to slap a nonent.i.ty. He raised up his hand and pressed toward Dongcheng Rushi.
A sharp sword light suddenly cut through heaven and earth.
The sword light spread out in the air and instantly spread up to the sky and down to the ground. The s.p.a.ce was forcefully ripped apart, and the sharp, piercing sword intent dashed forward!
Li Tianlan held Divine Punishment in his hands and took a step forward.
His vital force after entering the Invincible Realm instantly burst out.
He held the sword with one hand, looking fresh and dashing.
There seemed to be nothing left in the whole world but him walking alone between heaven and earth and sweeping off everything!
It was a kind of unbreakable, penetrating momentum!
He was bloodthirsty, calm yet frantic!
No one could stand in front of him. Mortal beings, as well as all the G.o.ds and demons, would completely vanish with a stroke of his sword!
The sword light was brighter and brighter, and one stroke of his sword could break the sky!
In the distance.
w.a.n.g Tianzong, who was watching the battlefield, suddenly contracted and focused his eyes.
He had seen this sword stroke before.
Now he finally recognized this sword stroke.
The sword stroke that had confused him for a long time!
He subconsciously turned his head and looked at the direction where Lin Fengting disappeared.
He didn’t know whether Lin Fengting saw it or not.
He didn’t know whether he would think of something either.
The sword light in the distance reached out in the farthest place.
w.a.n.g Tianzong took a deep breath and mumbled to himself. “Samsara…”
