Chapter 523 A Little Lonely
For all people, life is the greatest wealth and is better than any benefit.
Paul couldn’t refuse Li Tianlan’s kindness.
This was a matter of life and death. He had to give enough face.
He was not afraid of too much, but he was afraid that it was not enough.
Under the wind and rain, Li Tianlan was surrounded by a clear light.
The clear light surrounded him and Paul with the faint sword intent.
In other words, the s.p.a.ce where the two of them were in was completely cut apart by Li Tianlan in an instant and turned into a new world.
No one could hear their conversation.
“Just as I expected.”
Paul felt the change in the surrounding s.p.a.ce. His face became paler and paler. He muttered to himself.
He had fought with w.a.n.g Tianzong’s sword, which shook the heaven and the earth.
He had killed Charlemagne and Lagos with a wave of his hand.
He had fought against the murderous weapon head-on.
He had destroyed KingTong.
A gust of wind and rain had broken Ghost Hand.
Li Tianlan had already shown the power to make all the enemies desperate.
But only at this moment did Paul really feel what despair was.
This vague sword intent had isolated the entire s.p.a.ce, as if it had completely lost connection with heaven and earth.
Reality and illusion.
Light and darkness.
They were all in the blink of an eye.
This was a sword intent and also a domain.
Under the influence of this sword intent, Paul couldn’t even exert the power of an ordinary person.
What was the Chosen One?
What was absolute ruling power?
Everything in front of him seemed to have a prototype.
The sword intent at the moment did not seem to be perfect. It was not because it was imperfect, but the level of the sword intent was still a little bit lower.
All of Paul’s deductions became the truth.
No matter who had secretly lent their Sword Energy to Li Tianlan, this kind of Sword Energy at the Peak of the Invincible Realm was far more powerful in Li Tianlan’s hands than in his own.
His sword intent was truly flawless.
In other words, if there was the Chosen One by Li Tianlan’s side tonight, Li Tianlan’s combat capability would be the same as that of the real Chosen One.
Because his sword intent was really perfect.
Paul looked at Li Tianlan.
This was the Li Tianlan that no one wanted to see.
His body was surrounded by a clear light, extremely bright and beautiful.
But in his eyes, Paul saw endless darkness.
“That’s right.”
Li Tianlan nodded, looked at Paul, then looked at KingTong, and asked, “How much are your lives worth?”
Deity had always been standing beside Li Tianlan.
The vague sword intent covered Paul and Li Tianlan.
All of a sudden, everything between the two people disappeared completely in his perception.
Deity narrowed his eyes and didn’t say anything.
The battlefield not far away finally started to move.
There were no more enemies in the Snowdance Corps. They began to gather and sort out the bodies of their comrades who had been killed.
The elites of the Dark Knights were doing the same thing.
The Four Spirits of Zhongzhou State had arrived at the same time. At the critical moment, they temporarily had helped the Snowdance Corps and the Dark Knights resist the pressure and even had controlled the Devil Troop.
Gongsun Qi, the head of the Four Spirits, slowly walked over.
Deity stayed calm and collected and then turned to look in the direction of the Office of the President.
Between the battlefield and the Office of the President, there was a faint and almost imperceptible sword light flashing, which then disappeared.
Tonight, it had already pa.s.sed.
But Deity knew that the chaos in Eastern Europe was not over yet.
This was because of the silence of the Office of the President.
Because of that flash of sword light just now.
At the same time, it was also because he was still standing here tonight.
Deity stood quietly and thought about what the situation would be after tonight.
When the Eastern Europe chaos had broken out, no one could expect that the situation would become like this.
The war went on and on, and the blood flowed like a river.
The Divine & Holy Lists were in tatters.
All the superpowers were in a state of chaos without leaders.
Zhongzhou State had also paid a heavy price.
But after tonight, the advantage of the Snowdance Corps would completely turn into a victory.
With Wulan State as the center, Zhongzhou State would nibble away at the entire Zhongzhou State step by step.
As fast as 10 years, or as slow as 20 years, the whole of Eastern Europe would fall into Zhongzhou State’s pocket.
It sounded like a long time.
But at that time, all of Eastern Europe would become a sword pointed at Europe by Zhongzhou State, and even a sword that Zhongzhou State would conquer the world with.
This was truly a thousand-year-old achievement.
Deity suddenly remembered a sentence.
“In the next hundred years of the Dark World, there are three things that are bound to be called great: Zhongzhou State, East Emperor Palace, and Li Tianlan.”
This sentence had spread throughout the Dark World not long ago.
That had happened after Li Tianlan had won the maneuver of the two academies in Zhongzhou State.
On that day, he stood in the Sky Academy and crushed the whole era by himself.
The future era.
10 or 20 years later, when Eastern Europe completely fell into Zhongzhou State’s pocket, it was also the peak period for Li Tianlan.
It was impossible that Zhongzhou State didn’t want to do anything.
Li Tianlan had no choice but to do something.
Compared to today, maybe that was the real feast.
Deity didn’t want to miss the feast in the future.
So he appeared in Eastern Europe and here tonight.
The faint sword intent slowly swirled around him.
Li Tianlan and Paul, who had disappeared from his senses, gradually reappeared.
Only then did Deity realize that he had been lost in thought for a long time.
He came to his senses and glanced at Li Tianlan.
Li Tianlan was looking at Paul.
Paul helped up the dull-looking KingTong and carried her on his back.
He took a deep look at Li Tianlan, turned around, and left, stumbling.
Li Tianlan and Deity looked at the backs of the brother and sister for a long time without saying a word.
“Marshal Li.”
Gongsun Qi’s voice rang out beside Li Tianlan, sounding a little tired.
“Hmm,” Li Tianlan replied.
Deity also responded with a hum. Then he seemed to realize something and shook his head with a self-deprecating smile.
Li Tianlan shook hands with Gongsun Qi and said calmly, “Thank you, General.”
Gongsun Qi shook his head. After a moment of silence, he suddenly said, “I just did something that a person from Zhongzhou State should do.”
His tone was very calm.
But under the calm appearance, Li Tianlan seemed to see a storm.
A red line of sight appeared in his field of vision.
Li Tianlan turned his head and looked over.
The Devil Troop surrounded by the Terracotta Warriors was also watching him.
Li Tianlan had no expression on his face.
“What do you want to do with these people?” Gongsun Qi suddenly asked.
The Devil Troop had always been a very mysterious team of the w.a.n.g family of Beihai.
Some of them were even Invincible Realm experts from the w.a.n.g family of Beihai hundreds of years ago.
After so many years, no one had been able to identify them.
Perhaps everyone knew that they belonged to the Devil Troop of Beihai, but they couldn’t get any evidence.
These people had had nothing to do with the whole world since they had left Beihai.
But that was only an oral expression.
But tonight, Li Tianlan was the winner.
In addition to his great victory, he also had a clear guess. The Snowdance Corps might be able to cause big trouble for the w.a.n.g family of Beihai.
At the very least, the Four Spirits of Zhongzhou State, who were absolutely neutral, would definitely stand on Li Tianlan’s side.
This was not their standpoint, but their own att.i.tude.
The Demon of Beihai.
They might have once been heroes of the w.a.n.g family of Beihai.
But their performance tonight had already proved a problem.
For Zhongzhou State, their existence meant nothing.
Gongsun Qi would not let them go.
Because many people who had died at the hands of the Devil Troop tonight were not only soldiers of the Snowdance Corps, but also soldiers of Zhongzhou State.
Li Tianlan thought for a moment, and then shook his head and said, “Kill them.”
Gongsun Qi frowned and looked at Li Tianlan in silence.
“They can’t hold on,” Li Tianlan said.
Gongsun Qi took the initiative to bring up this topic not to help Li Tianlan, but to get Li Tianlan’s support.
The neutral faction was still weak in Zhongzhou State.
But Li Tianlan represented the Academics and the Giant Group. If he could get Li Tianlan’s support, Gongsun Qi could completely vent his anger on the w.a.n.g family of Beihai.
But Li Tianlan was also very clear that there was not much time left for the demons to come out. At least, there was no time for Gongsun Qi to collect evidence. If there was no evidence, what was the meaning of some accusations to the w.a.n.g family of Beihai?
Gongsun Qi clenched his fists and said nothing.
“General, bring my army back to the Office of the President and tend to it for the time being,” Li Tianlan said calmly.
“Aren’t you going back?”
Gongsun Qi raised his eyebrows.
“I have something else to do.”
Li Tianlan didn’t say much.
Gongsun Qi nodded and turned to leave.
Li Tianlan looked at his back and then at the crowd in the distance.
The sight of the Devil Troop was still glowing with a red light.
But there were only two Demons left.
At first, the Devil Troop had had a total of 12 people.
There were six people left in the battle tonight.
Four people had been killed.
The two of them were here.
Where were the other two?
Li Tianlan squinted thoughtfully.
With dull and orderly footsteps, the Snowdance Corps left the battlefield silently.
Li Tianlan stood where he was and waited until they were completely gone. Then he turned around and sat down on a nearby stone and said, “Thank you.”
Deity’s figure appeared in front of him little by little.
He gave Li Tianlan a cigarette and said nothing.
Li Tianlan lit the cigarette and took a deep breath. Then, he suddenly started coughing.
The light around him was constantly shaking and collapsing little by little, and his whole aura was completely weakened.
Deity looked at Li Tianlan with playful eyes.
Li Tianlan finished smoking the cigarette, tossed away the b.u.t.t, and looked at Deity.
They looked at each other for a long time, and then Li Tianlan took the initiative to ask, “Don’t you want to kill me?”
“Why should I kill you?”
Deity laughed.
“I don’t know.”
Li Tianlan was silent for a moment. “But I can feel your killing intent. When I attacked just now, you wanted to kill me several times.”
He looked at the rain in front of him, and his voice and eyes were extremely light.
“I have a question,” he suddenly said.
“Don’t ask.”
Deity shook his head. “You need to thank me, and I also need to thank you.”
Deity said calmly, “I saw your sword. Your sword is very powerful.”
He bowed slightly to Li Tianlan and said quietly, “It is the strongest. So I should thank you.”
Li Tianlan’s Sword Energy belonged to Deity.
But his sword intent belonged to himself.
With the most perfect sword intent to control the Sword Energy at the Peak of the Invincible Realm, Li Tianlan had completely surpa.s.sed Deity in terms of combat capability at that moment.
This also allowed Deity to see his future.
The road ahead was still not the end, but it could also make him take a small step forward.
Although he couldn’t reach it, he yearned for it.
He was not far from the destination. If he could take one more step or half-step, it would be great.
Li Tianlan didn’t say anything for a long time.
He suddenly didn’t know what to say.
He just wanted to ask whether the man in front of him was his father or not.
Deity didn’t let him ask.
But his att.i.tude had explained everything.
If they were really father and son, even if they had never met, no matter how unfamiliar they were, or even if Tianlan was stronger than him, Deity would never bow to him.
There was no need for that.
Li Tianlan’s face was a little pale.
As the wind and rain fell, his whole body was wet.
His eyes were dim and he looked a little pitiful.
“Anyway…”
He quietly thought about the scenes tonight and said, “I still need to thank you.”
Deity’s tone became completely calm, returning to its original indifference. “I said it before. No matter what happens, Eastern Europe belongs to the Li family after all. No matter whose Li family it is, it’s not up to an outsider to intervene.”
Li Tianlan withdrew his eyes from the distance, narrowed his eyes, and looked at Deity.
His eyes were deep, but there was a hint of sharpness in them. “Of course, it’s my Li family and my Eastern Europe.”
There seemed to be a cold shadow in Deity’s eyes.
He glanced at Li Tianlan and said coldly after a long time, “So what if I give it to you for the time being?”
“You don’t care?”
“When did I ever care about it?”
“If you don’t care, then what are you doing in Eastern Europe?”
Deity gave Li Tianlan a cold look. “What am I doing in Eastern Europe? You should ask your woman.”
Li Tianlan froze.
He had three women now.
However, only Qin Weibai was qualified to stand at the same height as Deity.
Li Tianlan looked serious and asked earnestly, “What do you mean?”
“More than three years ago, she said that she wanted the w.a.n.g family of Beihai to fall into h.e.l.l forever. So the Purgatory of Heaven Capital would appear in East Island. That’s why I came to Eastern Europe now.”
Deity had cooperation with a lot of people.
He had a cooperation with Qin Weibai.
He also had a cooperation with that mysterious Majesty.
The two people’s cooperation looked like conflicts, but that didn’t seem to be the case.
He wanted Qin Weibai to die.
But that was after Qin Weibai had completed her cooperation with him.
Li Tianlan finally understood something.
“So the Purgatory of Heaven Capital came to Eastern Europe this time not for Eastern Europe, but for Beihai?” he asked slowly.
“Of course.”
Deity said in a calm tone, “As long as I’m here, w.a.n.g Tianzong won’t leave. So the chaos is over tonight. After dawn, the grievance will begin. Let’s solve it together.”
“w.a.n.g Tianzong is not a fool,” Li Tianlan said seriously.
“This has nothing to do with whether he is stupid or not.”
Deity’s eyes went blank for a moment. “He’s a man. Every man has something to do, and he doesn’t want to consider its consequences.”
“You were helping me when you fought with him just now, weren’t you?”
Deity suddenly laughed.
Li Tianlan’s pupils contracted slightly.
He didn’t expect that Deity would see through the profound meaning of that sword stroke.
So it seemed that he really saw his future.
Li Tianlan stood up, deep in thought.
Deity still had a cooperation with Qin Weibai.
But if this cooperation succeeded this time…
What would happen between the Samsara Palace and the Purgatory of Heaven Capital if the w.a.n.g family of Beihai fell into h.e.l.l forever?
It could only be a foul wind and a rain of blood.
It could only be a blade light and a shadow of the sword.
Li Tianlan felt bored again.
He looked at the rainy night for a long time before asking softly, “We will be enemies, right?”
Deity was also looking into the distance, and whispered, “Who knows?”
Li Tianlan stopped talking and was lost in thought.
“You’re lonely, aren’t you?” Deity seemed to have seen through Li Tianlan’s thoughts and asked.
Only the Invincible Realm experts would feel lonely.
So Li Tianlan shook his head. “No.”
He paused and continued, “I’m just… a little lonely.”
Deity stayed silent for a while, then reached out and patted him on the shoulder. He didn’t say anything.
