Shortly after leaving the hospital, Dongcheng Wudi and Zhuang Huayang’s vehicles had already followed Li Tianlan.
The black Land Rover in front of Dongcheng Wudi was one of the exclusive cars of him, with military positioning devices on it. Therefore, Dongcheng Wudi had always been keeping a far distance to Li Tianlan. In the heavy rain, the two men followed Land Rover through the traffic flow, stop-and-go. As the car went farther and farther, and gradually left the downtown of Huating, Dongcheng Wudi finally noticed something was wrong.
“What is the boy going to do?”
Dongcheng Wudi murmured in a confused voice, “This is not the way back to Yonghua Villa, is it?”
“And it is not the way to Yu’s private home cuisine.”
Zhuang Huayang shook his head, with his eyebrows slightly wrinkled. Li Tianlan had very simple social relations in Huating. Besides Qin Weibai and Yu Donglai, he didn’t know anyone else. Where else could he go now?
The two cars were about 800 meters apart in tandem. Dongcheng Wudi followed the car silently according to the positioning information. In the mighty heavy rain, the Land Rover ahead had already disappeared from his sight. Only the red dot on Dongcheng Wudi’s mobile phone screen was still flashing forward.
“It seems that he is going to the airport to send Boss Qin off, is it?”
Dongcheng Wudi and Zhuang Huayang looked at each other, and the former whispered to himself. They were two big shots in Zhongzhou State who couldn’t be blamed for being too gossip about Li Tianlan. They were now really not at ease, because although Li Tianlan’s potential was enough to make Dongcheng Clan and the Academics satisfied or even surprised, his ability to cause trouble was also painful.
If this was not the turmoil in the Dark World, Zhong Yongming would do nothing on the surface, but his private retaliation would also be troublesome. Now that the matter was over, then Zhuang Huayang only wanted to bring Li Tianlan back to the Sky Academy. It seemed that it was better to not let him come out until he graduated from the academy.
“Boss Qin always takes off in Wudong International Airport, right? Lanqiao Airport has few international flights, and there are mostly domestic ones. ”
Zhuang Huayang shook his head, feeling a little confused.
“In short, this boy has troubled the headmaster in recent years. We are very relieved to have the headmaster take care of him in Huating.”
Dongcheng Wudi handed Zhuang Huayang a cigarette, lighting a cigarette himself, and said after taking a deep breath.
“I’ll try my best.”
Zhuang Huayang smiled and his old eyes narrowed slightly. “The Academy will support him.”
Dongcheng Wudi nodded slightly and then wanted to continue, but suddenly he asked slightly, “Why did it stop?”
“Follow up and have a look.”
Zhuang Huayang’s heart tightened a bit, and then he said in a low voice.
The car sped up instantly, approaching the Land Rover ahead.
The sound of a long sword suddenly rang, frightening the void.
The sound pierced through the heavy rain outside the window and through the carriage, then rang clearly around Dongcheng Wudi and Zhuang Huayang’s ears.
Their facial expressions both altered at the same time.
In their sights, the air in front them seemed to be unchanged, but just at that moment, they could clearly detect that the seemingly motionless air quietly tightened a little.
The rain was pouring like waterfalls.
A sharp blade that shook the whole world suddenly appeared in the heavy rain.
There were no thunder and no fire.
There was only one hint of absolute danger between heaven and earth.
That was the hint of danger with extreme madness and ferocity, which was enough to threaten any life.
Dongcheng Wudi kicked in the car door and rushed straight into the battlefield, completely daring and regardless of his safety.
Zhuang Huayang followed him tightly.
That faint but somehow mysteriously clear blade edge appeared instantly and disappeared at almost the next second.
It all happened in the blink of an eye.
The rain curtain became calm again.
w.a.n.g Yuetong jumped out of the car and rushed into the rain curtain almost at the same time. She hadn’t entered the Fire-flaming Realm, so the heavy rain from the sky instantly drenched her all over. However, she ignored it and rushed to Li Tianlan’s side. Looking at his increasingly pale face, she said urgently, “Senior brother, are you okay?”
“I am fine.”
Li Tianlan shook his head. Although he suffered some injuries, it had little impact on him.
He had never seen the Kunlun City’s Ten Skills of True Martial Arts. However, he knew that Kunlun City could never become the power center of the Special Warfare System of Zhongzhou if all it was good at was planning conspiracies.
So he never looked down upon Gu Changjiang from the very beginning, and he did his best the first time he made his moves!
The Fifteenth Blade reincarnated ancestors’ sword intent, and the Twentieth Blade, Crushing Heaven, killed the enemies. It seemed that they were two sword moves, but in fact, it was one sword move.
The Twelfth Blade, Fallen City, approached Gu Changjiang’s body.
The Fifteenth Blade, Samsara, built up his strength.
The Twentieth Blade killed the enemy.
Everything happened in a flash, since it was a real seckilling.
All his energy and vigor were concentrated into this sword, and went out thoroughly, without giving Gu Changjiang any reaction time. Once this sword move came out, if Gu Changjiang didn’t die, Li Tianlan would temporarily lose his battle strength, then he might be totally controlled by Gu Changjiang.
Li Tianlan coughed gently, and his eyes were like a deep pool of lake with no fluctuation.
This sword move included the most determined killing intent of him. He went forward fearlessly. When it came to his state of mind, he was even more perfect and calm than when facing the attack of the black-robed men at the Sky Academy. In a trance, he seemed to have a new understanding of the Invincible Manual.
The momentum of marching forward, daring to break the heavens and the earth, daring to make G.o.ds and demons bend their heads, and daring to make all living beings bend on their knees, kept circling in his heart, making his whole emotions and even his soul feel its shock.
“When I draw my sword, all things in the world, and all sentient beings in the world, shall all submit like ants under my feet!”
“All under my feet!”
Invincible Manual, 24 Moves of Sword, Xuanyuantai’s sword, all marched forward, tearing the heavens and the earth.
This was not just a simple martial arts momentum, but a real solid spirit, even a soul.
In the heavy rain, Li Tianlan’s mouth was raised and his smile was bright.
Cold rain poured at him, making him cold all over, but his heart was hotter than ever.
Since he started over from the Thunder-shocking Realm, he found the meaning of cultivating again for the first time—it was not confusion about the realm, but a genuine exploration of Martial Arts.
The wind was cold and the rain was falling.
Li Tianlan’s eyes gradually became clear and he smiled like a spring breeze.
As he thrust out this sword, his heart felt like to be unprecedented happy.
“Let’s go back to the Sky Academy.”
Li Tianlan took w.a.n.g Yuetong’s small hand on his own initiative. In a short period of time, his mood seemed to ease a lot. He even held out his hand to pinch w.a.n.g Yuetong’s delicate little nose and laughed. “What are you doing out here? Isn’t it cold outside?”
w.a.n.g Yuetong felt glad and shy. Looking at Li Tianlan who acted out of his normal behavior, her inner soul was chaotic, then she cast him a supercilious but charming look, without knowing what to say.
“Tianlan, how do you feel?”
Dongcheng Wudi rushed out of the rain curtain at full speed, with the aura of his body fluctuated violently.
That was a distance of hundreds of meters, but he desperately rushed to the finish line, only to see Li Tianlan pinching w.a.n.g Yuetong’s nose, then the G.o.d of Ma.s.sacre of Zhongzhou immediately felt a little bad.
“G.o.d d.a.m.n it. What did you make me see when I came all the way here?”
“General? Why are you here? ”
Li Tianlan raised his eyebrows slightly but did not loosen w.a.n.g Yuetong’s hand.
Dongcheng Wudi held down his messy thoughts. After all, although in the sight of all this calm and very-much-in-love scene, that momentum of the battle could not cheat people. His eyes turned, looking at the nearby car wreckage, then his eyes suddenly fixed when he saw the dead body in the rain.
On the shoulder of the corpse, two golden stars which represented brilliant military achievements were shining with charming brilliance in the heavy rain.
“Gu Changjiang?”
Dongcheng Wudi’s pupils shrank, and he turned to Li Tianlan suddenly. “Did you kill him?”
“He deserved to die.”
Li Tianlan said calmly.
Dongcheng Wudi ‘s mouth twitched a little, and he kept silent for nearly ten seconds, then he just burst a word from the throat, “Fu*k!”
Just after killing Zhong Shaofeng, the boy killed one of the key figures in Kunlun City, Gu Changjiang.
This boy was definitely a master in making trouble.
He turned his head and looked at Zhuang Huayang who just rushed over here, then he pointed to the body of Gu Changjiang.
Zhuang Huayang looked along with Dongcheng Wudi’s finger, and his eyes narrowed immediately.
The atmosphere in the heavy rain suddenly became silent and heavy.
Gu Changjiang died in Huating.
This was one of the confidants of Gu Xingyun, the G.o.d of War of Zhongzhou State. So his death was bound to infuriate Gu Xingyun and he would even track it to the end.
All the experts who appeared in Huating during this period of time would be investigated by Kunlun City.
If this matter was not handled properly, it would cause great trouble.
If they found that it was Li Tianlan who killed Gu Changjiang, the consequences would be several times more serious than the time he disabled Zhong Shaofeng.
Fortunately, this place was relatively remote, and no vehicles had pa.s.sed by during this period of time, and few people knew Li Tianlan’s current state, so he should not be the object of suspicion in Kunlun City.
He seemed to nail it in this matter.
Zhuang Huayang raised his eyebrows and suddenly said, “Have you got the thing?”
“I got it.”
Li Tianlan nodded without facial expression.
All the car wreckages nearby floated in the heavy rain suddenly.
The driver who was seriously injured and unconscious, the dead body of Gu Changjiang and even the blood stains on the ground all converged towards the wreckages of the car.
Zhuang Huayang waved his hand fiercely.
In the heavy rain, a piece of flame, which almost violated the common sense of physics, lighted up in the debris, burning more and more brightly.
Some tiny but bright lightning was flashing in the debris.
In a short time, all the remains and corpses had turned into a pile of black ash, washed by the heavy rain and scattered on the highway instantly.
“Back to the Sky Academy!”
Zhuanghuayang, who destroyed the body and the debris, bit his teeth and gave Li Tianlan a hard stare. he turned and left, so angry that he even forgot to tell Dongcheng Wudi to leave with him.
“Don’t you come along? Why aren’t you moving?”
Dongcheng Wudi’s face emerged a wry smile, then he looked at Li Tianlan and urged him to leave. The death of Gu Changjiang was bound to make Zhongzhou’s extremely sensitive situation become more sensitive. Dongcheng Wudi, as one of the members of Zhongzhou Decision Making Committee, and the leading character of the Giant Group, what he needed to consider was way more than ZhuangHuaYang should.
“Let’s go back to the Sky Academy, be steady. Give things a rest, Tianlan. What’s the most important thing for you is to grow up, and many people are looking forward to your growth.”
Dongcheng Wudi took a deep breath and looked at Li Tianlan, said with gentle eyes.
“Fine.”
Li Tianlan hesitated for a while, then nodded and said sincerely, “Thank you, General.”
Dongcheng Wudi waved his hand and turned around, looking at the broken windshield of his beloved car with his eyes filled with helplessness.
Li Tianlan also felt a little embarra.s.sed, then he took w.a.n.g Yuetong’s hand and directly ran away.
In the heavy rain curtain, Dongcheng Wudi and Zhuang Huayang’s cell phone rang almost at the same time.
Dongcheng Wudi picked up the phone and heard a few words, then his countenance changed, and he subconsciously looked to Zhuang Huayang.
Zhuang Huayang’s body seemed to stumble a little, then he turned around and stared at Li Tianlan furiously.
He stared at him with an angry but cherishing look, for he really was worried about him.
Vaguely, Zhuang Huayang’s angry and bitter voice rang out from the wind and rain. “Tell me, boy, what else did you do?”
Dongcheng Wudi fought back his smile and sat into the Land Rover, then started the car to leave quickly.
Rainwater rushed into the front pa.s.senger seat through the windshield. The G.o.d of Ma.s.sacre of Zhongzhou State clapped hard on the steering wheel, singing bravely against the wind and rain.
Li Tianlan had already stood in front of Zhuang Huayang. Facing the old headmaster’s query, he gave a subconscious grunt and immediately said, “Oh, I went to the bathroom of the hospital and killed Zhong Shaofeng without extra trouble. As I said, it was worth it that my kneeling down to him exchanges his life.”
Zhuang Huayang was so astonished and angry that he felt a little dizzy, and said desperately, “My heart is not good, so tell me, what else have you done? Don’t hit me with your news one after another, ok? Li Tianlan?”
“Nothing else.”
Li Tianlan shook his head and said honestly, “When I return to Yonghua Villa, I will go back to the Sky Academy with you. Don’t worry, I’ve handled Zhong Shaofeng’s matter in a clean way. Zhong Yongming would find nothing.”
Zhuanghuayang shook his head with a wry smile.
He knew that since Li Tianlan dared to do it, then he must be sure that he would not leave any evidence. But what would Zhong Yongming feel when he faced his dead son?
He just promised not to find Li Tianlan any trouble within two years, but his son died immediately and had even been stabbed to death—been stabbed for ten knives.
However, he couldn’t find any evidence, so he couldn’t get into trouble with Li Tianlan within two years.
He lost so much.
It could be said that Li Tianlan hurt Zhong Yongming hard stealthily.
So in the future…
Zhuang Huayang subconsciously shook his head. What future? The top priority now was to put Li Tianlan, the big troubled maker, into someplace quiet and lock him up.
They sat back in the car.
Zhuang Huayang started the engine and said calmly, “You should not have killed Gu Changjiang. There are so many uncertainties. While there will not be any big problems from the Zhong family for the time being.”
“One of the enemies who killed my father was right in front of me. I couldn’t bear it. And I also want to see if Kunlun City can expose anything after the death of Gu Changjiang.”
Li Tianlan sat on the front pa.s.senger seat and answered calmly.
“What’s the point? I can understand your desire for revenge, but how you think of the world is too naive. It is simply childish.”
Zhuang Huayang shook his head and continued, “Even if you enter the Invincible Realm now, and even if you find out the truth of all the things in that year, and you know that Li Kuangtu was wronged, what are you going to do?”
“Do you want to directly enter the Kunlun City and kill them? To avenge your father’s death?”
Li Tianlan squinted, listened to Zhuang Huayang’s persuasion, and remained silent.
“There are rules in this world.”
Zhuang Huayang said calmly, “w.a.n.g Tianzong was at the top of the Divine List. When a few days ago he went to Mount Kunlun, he could have struck the Kunlun City with a sword, but under that sword, no one died. This is the rule.”
“Despite how great your strength is, you still need to act within the rules. If you have enough strength and have destroyed the Kunlun City, then what will those high-level figures think of you? Will they think that you have reasons to do so? Zhongzhou will definitely do its best to suppress you. The Li family’s wish to restore its former glory is totally a dream.”
“All countries share the same view on experts at the Invincible Realm. They can be free of control, but they must obey the rules, or they will become public enemies. w.a.n.g Tianzong is strong enough, right? But how long do you think he will last if those 100,000 military elites in Zhongzhou State surround Mount Dibing? For hundreds of years, people who do not obey the rules never ever end up well.”
He was driving the car, and turned to Li Tianlan, calmly saying, “When and what to do, you have to think about this. Now your biggest task is to grow up steadily. When your strength is strong enough, there will naturally be people waving flags and shouting for you within the rules. Power cannot decide everything, but power is the foundation to solve everything. You don’t have to worry about anything else now. You just need to improve your strength. This is the only thing you can do.”
“I agree with what you said, but not completely.”
Li Tianlan looked out of the window, remaining silent for a moment, then calmly said.
Zhuang Huayang sighed slightly and said no more.
The rain outside the window was pouring down.
Li Tianlan’s eyes were firm.
This was a world that seemed to be well-ordered but was actually full of chaos.
This was a circle full of grievances, enmities and frauds.
Strength, power and wealth could all find their own positions and radiate different lights in this circle, eventually forming a seemingly fragile but extremely stable balance.
Some people attacked, some defended, and some hid. There were demons and monsters, heroes and overlords.
The storm arose and fell, then the storm was settled. The foul wind and b.l.o.o.d.y rain would finally be desolated.
Sweet, sour, bitter, and spicy, all the living things were within the rules.
In a sense, what Zhuang Huayang said was very reasonable.
But throughout his life…
Li Tianlan only asked for a sword move, with which he should be unparalleled in the world!
