Li Tianlan suddenly woke up from the coma.
His body couldn’t stand the countless fighting and killing in two days. The so-called coma was exceptionally loud for him. The light and shadow of the raging fire and thunderbolt intertwining together were flashing, the sound of the weapons crashing, people screaming and crying, and the sound of the explosion hit his eardrums hard.
Chaos.
Absolute chaos.
All the fighting in two days seemed to happen in the same time, which was repressing and suffocating, chaotic and crazy.
Li Tianlan woke up from the countless flashing images.
He opened his eyes.
It was silent around him.
All the images started to disappear as his conscious woke up, but a throbbing beyond expression exploded deep in his heart.
He felt strange, but he was shivering and couldn’t catch his breath, as if he just lost the most valuable thing.
What exactly…was it?
“You woke up?”
A deep, raspy voice suddenly rang out, it sounded frigid, but there was a bit of softness in it.
“Yeah.”
Li Tianlan answered in his deep voice, still feeling the nervousness and palpitation caused by the crazy heartbeat. He managed to calm down after a while, then realized he was still lying on the back of Tribulation.
Tribulation’s shoulders weren’t very board, but they were steady. The night sky kept moving back as he marched forward. Right now, the two of them had walked out of the forest, and they were moving fast in a deserted mountainous region.
“Martial Uncle, you can put me down.”
Li Tianlan moved a bit on Tribulation’s back, his body still felt extremely exhausted. But his injury was basically stable, which meant that his injury stopped getting worse, and he started to regain little bit of strength. He slightly used his strength and hopped off Tribulation’s back.
As his feet hit the ground, his body stumbled a little bit, then he took a deep breath and stood up straight.
“How are you feeling?”
“Fine.”
Li Tianlan answered, looked around subconsciously and asked, “Where are we?”
“Less than fifteen kilometers from the land of the final battle.”
Tribulation’s tone sounded stable and sharp. But as he spoke, Li Tianlan surprisingly found that the vital force in his body started to change.
In the blink of an eye, Tribulation had vanished in the void and turned into nothingness.
This kind of change…
It wasn’t because Tribulation was too powerful.
On the contrary, it was because Tribulation suddenly got weaker.
Li Tianlan was seriously injured right now, but he had got into Half-step Thunder-shocking Realm. His fully-charged willpower could give him ma.s.sive power of destruction even when he had little strength. In his extremely sharp perception, he could sense that Tribulation’s vital force kept dropping.
Right now, in his perception, Tribulation was like a nonent.i.ty to him.
A nonent.i.ty that could be completely ignored.
“Martial Uncle, your state?”
Li Tianlan’s face changed suddenly.
“I’m okay.”
Tribulation shook his head. As he spoke, his vital force strengthened again, then it weakened. That sharp, cold killing intent turned up and down for a couple times, finally it completely quieted down.
“Did you get hurt? What’s going on?”
Li Tianlan frowned harder and harder. Judging from Tribulation’s state right now, he got seriously injured, he couldn’t even control his vital force. If his injury took a turn for the worse, then his combat capability would be ruined entirely.
“Don’t worry. This is some necessary adjustment, not injury.”
Tribulation snorted, then sighed and said, “We have to hurry there.”
Li Tianlan took a deep look at him. Before he could say anything, Tribulation had started moving again.
He didn’t slow down, but the vital force that was barely left in him got weaker and weaker.
Li Tianlan marched forward with him. After a long silence, he asked suddenly, “Martial Uncle, what exactly is the situation right now?”
Tribulation stopped moving forward, stayed silent for a second, then said slowly, “Oh no. We’re slow, or should I say they’re too fast.”
“The battle started the day your location was exposed. But it was still too late. Right now, we’re making a lot of noise in East Island, and all the dark superpowers started to get involved. The situation was just like what we expected in the beginning, the world against East Island. Right now, the situation in Changdao is pretty good.”
“Then…”
Li Tianlan raised his eyebrows in surprise.
“But a big part of the East Island Special Warfare elites trapped in Huating had started to go back. As for East Island, Changdao was in an unstable stage, but it can make it through. But we don’t have enough time.”
Tribulation’s tone was clear and dark.
Li Tianlan’s face changed; he was suddenly speechless.
The situation in East Island was excellent.
But Huating was a mess!
But the problem was, w.a.n.g Tianzong, Gu Xingyun, the Master of Samsara Palace, all three superiors of Invincible Realm who were in the very front of the Divine List were guarding Huating, how could Huating become a mess?
Once Huating became a mess, the large amount of East Island elites that were trapped in Huating took the chance to break through the defense and went back to Changdao. It would be a disaster for the Zhongzhou State elites in Changdao.
Zhongzhou State’s scheme against East Island was started by two superiors of Invincible Realm from East Island, and many superiors and elites were all trapped in Huating, the Special Warfare power inside East Island was weak, then Zhongzhou State had a chance to invade.
How influential was the strength trapped in Huating?
The fact that w.a.n.g Tianzong, Gu Xingyun and the Master of Samsara Palace personally guarding Huating could prove that.
Once these people got back to East Island, East Island’s power would be unbeatable.
After all, this was their home court.
“What the h.e.l.l is going on?”
Li Tianlan said in a severe tone.
“The chaos began at the border, Annan State rose in rebellion. On the surface, he transferred the troop in the North to the South, but in fact…well…the five superpowers united with the unofficial ‘mysterious force’ inside Annan State and invaded the border of Zhongzhou State, to destroy Blood Battalion. They are making a lot of noises. This time, it was led by Saint War Angel Aresis from the Vatican, who held the murderous weapon.
“w.a.n.g Tianzong personally held Human Emperor and went to suppress the border, and the Master of Samsara Palace…she originally has a serious injury and couldn’t fight. Gu Xingyun had to send the third group of elites in the original plan to Changdao and guard Huating, East Island’s elites in Huating took the chance and broke through the defense. Both parties faced great loss, but many East Island elites managed to escape, including the two superiors of Invincible Realm from East Island.”
Li Tianlan’s heart sank. For no reason, he suddenly thought about that Star Flag at the campsite where the Li family was located. He asked subconsciously, “How’s the border?”
“The border…”
Tribulation took a look at him and said, “Senior Li did it himself. Besides, it’s said to be a mysterious superior who came to help. The battle is still on at the border. w.a.n.g Tianzong and that mysterious superior got back to Huating right after Senior Li appeared, but they didn’t make it. East Island took advantage of the timing. When they get back, everything will be settled.”
“This…”
Li Tianlan opened his mouth, but couldn’t say anything. He felt something was wrong in this, but he couldn’t explain it. After some thoughts, he said in a cautious tone, “They had the perfect timing…”
“Someone betrayed the country and told them all the secrets, so they could set up the timing…”
Tribulation said casually, “This isn’t just about telling secrets, the traitor even changed the code of the a.r.s.enal of Border Control Corps, one thing led to another, finally changed the situation completely. Right now, everyone is in a difficult state.”
Li Tianlan’s body shivered from coldness.
This general trend that involved the whole Dark World was a complete scheme, a lot of things, whether on the bright side or the dark side, were involved in it.
Zhongzhou State, East Island, Samsara Palace, the five dark superpowers, Annan State, the traitor who was hiding in the shadow, and that mysterious power group who worked with Samsara Palace.
The battlefield had reached from Asia to Europe and America.
A small movement could change the whole situation.
The situation turned from good to bad, and it still kept changing.
All the superpowers, down to individuals, seemed to become many p.a.w.ns.
And the general trend was the chessboard.
On the turbulent chessboard, behind the darkness, there seemed to be a black hand pushing everything in silence, putting all the coincidences and accidents together and finally pushing all the p.a.w.ns on the chessboard, to get what it wanted.
Yes.
There was only one black hand.
Without anyone noticing, it used Zhongzhou State, East Island, and all the dark superpowers. Hundreds and thousands of troops and many elites were in its control.
If that was the case, how much of boldness did it take? What kind of extravagance?
Who was this person?
What on earth did he want?
Li Tianlan stayed silent, but the intuition in his heart was getting clearer and clearer.
Everything he thought about was intuition.
There wasn’t evidence, and the speculation was hardly correct.
It was just intuition.
But he believed in it completely.
He took a look at Tribulation and suddenly thought about Zhongzhou State, all the superiors and a lot of other things.
A person, a power group, a country.
They were all chess players on the chessboard, they were also the p.a.w.ns, but that black hand was secretly controlling the situation on the chess board, it was even capable of turning the whole chessboard over.
What was more frightening was that, so far, everyone was in a state of ignorance.
Zhongzhou State seemed to realize something, but it couldn’t fight it.
At least right now Zhongzhou State had no other choices. What they needed to do the most was to wipe out all the forces in Changdao right now before those East Island elites got back from Huating.
Right now, Zhongzhou State needed to fight for victory, as well as time.
And Tribulation seemed to notice that, so he withdrew all his vital force and put himself into a state of nirvana.
In this kind of state, if he wasn’t injured, there was only one possibility.
Tribulation.
When Zhongzhou State needed power the most, he was about to break through.
“Martial Uncle…tell me, is the Master of Samsara Palace really too injured to fight?”
In the silence, Li Tianlan suddenly asked.
Tribulation turned around instantly.
In the dark, his eyes were bright and clear like stars in the night sky.
