Chapter 251 Day Seven · Divine Punishment
The afterglow seemed to be rising, also seemed like the last bit of glory before the end. When the grand sword light lit up the whole battlefield, the whole world was dead silent.
The sharp, penetrating light swept through the night sky, and all the noises disappeared completely.
People were still fighting, but everything was silent.
Just the voice of Li Tianlan echoed between heaven and earth, like a sigh or a mumble, with the power that could hit the soul.
“Might as well give up.”
Where the mountain met the sea, the high sky was boiling completely. The night sky within hundreds of meters started to surge violently like a tsunami as Li Tianlan opened his mouth.
The grand, powerful Sword Energy surged violently. The sword intent fell from the high sky, then rose up from the ground and gathered from every space all around.
The air was crushed into pieces, then forcefully squeezed out by the surging sword intent.
The air in hundreds of meters of night sky disappeared completely.
The void never appeared.
Just the boundless sword intent and Sword Energy kept intertwining together, vast like a domain.
Li Tianlan’s body kept shaking, and the vital force in him kept rising. He went from the Half-step Thunder-shocking Realm to the real Thunder-shocking Realm instantly.
Li Tianlan stretched his body, as if he was in pain. His rising vital force froze for a second.
Next second, his vital force started to rise up wildly, with no limit. It seemed that his vital force was about to fill the heaven and earth and rise up to the high sky!
The stabilization phase of the Thunder-shocking Realm.
The peak of the Thunder-shocking Realm.
The full closure of the Thunder-shocking Realm.
Half-step Invincible Realm.
His realm kept rising up.
Li Tianlan seemed to evacuate all the sword intent between heaven and earth at that moment. The boundless Sword Energy suddenly started boiling and lit up the whole battlefield.
The unique technique from the Wang family of Beihai.
Against the Way of Heaven!
Wang Shengxiao gave him this unique technique, but he tore it into pieces and threw it away.
His Against the Way of Heaven came from Wang Yuetong.
Under the Invincible Realm, the special, aggressive way of exertion of this unique technique could make anyone improve their realm.
But the higher the realm, the more power, the heavier the price one had to pay.
When Wang Yuetong was in the Ice-condensing Realm, she could use Against the Way of Heaven to temporarily get the combat capability of the Fire-flaming Realm, but after that, she needed to rest.
Wang Shengxiao also could use Against the Way of Heaven to instantly turn into a superior of the Half-step Invincible Realm. But he didn’t dare to or wasn’t willing to pay that kind of heavy price.
But for Li Tianlan, it had come to the point where he was willing to pay any price.
After he took the Immortality Potion, he forcefully resumed himself to the Thunder-shocking Realm. Then he used Against the Way of Heaven in the Thunder-shocking Realm and forcefully pushed himself to the level of the Half-step Invincible Realm.
But everything didn’t stop there.
At the moment the sword light lit up, the Immortality Potion that was left in his body started to be consumed violently all of a sudden, and the other drug also started to burst out when his vital force started to deplete.
That was Surge drug.
Surge, Immortality Potion, Against the Way of Heaven.
The three of them seemed to have some kind of faint, subtle connection.
His vital force kept rising, and the boundless vitality was being consumed wildly. After rushing into the Half-step Invincible Realm, he didn’t stop at all; he had rushed through the threshold that made most of the geniuses lose their hope.
The sword light that was shining through the whole sky became completely stable.
Reining Sword, who was the closest to Li Tianlan, could clearly feel Li Tianlan’s rising power and vanity.
Foundation!
The deep, perfect foundation that had been ignored by Li Tianlan for years collapsed completely at this moment!
Might as well give up!
His combat capability rose up wildly, but his realm dropped rapidly.
He dropped from the peak of the Ice-condensing Realm to the Qi-controlling Realm, then dropped out of the Qi-controlling Realm and lower.
But Li Tianlan had traded his boundless vitality for super combat capability that had risen to the top.
The very top.
As he looked down from this position, the world was quiet.
Everything was quiet.
Everything happened so fast, and it was impossible to resist or stop.
Reining Sword’s face changed rapidly. Then he wanted to draw the sword and dash to Li Tianlan.
Moonlight who looked shocked in the eyes subconsciously wanted to tighten up the chain around Qin Weibai’s neck.
They wanted to open their mouths and say something.
But the world was silent.
They couldn’t do anything or say anything.
Li Tianlan took a look at them.
His eyes looked a little tired, but there were still disdain and arrogance in them.
White clothes, white hair, silver broken sword.
“The Jiang family of South America should be put to death.”
Li Tianlan said.
The sword edge was lifted up.
“When I pull out my sword, everyone in the world shall be a nonentity.”
“When I pull out my sword, everything in the world shall be under my feet.”
The sword intent that reached every corner of the space started to surge quietly.
A mild breeze blew in the air.
The mildly surging sword intent became unprecedentedly glorious!
The shining sword light suddenly exploded in the air and rose up the high sky thousands of meters away, then became a bright light column that reached from the ground to the sky.
Reining Sword in the Half-step Invincible Realm.
Moonlight in the Half-step Invincible Realm.
The crowd around the Jiang family of South America...
The light column spread up and down, then suddenly expanded, and the pale white light shone into the mountains and the ocean. Wherever the light reached, everything turned into a void.
The hills became flat land, the sea nearby was evaporated, and the crowd disappeared without a trace.
The world was silent.
The light column that reached the sky disappeared. In the night sky, the white clothes and white dress leaned close together, and everything was quiet like it used to be.
Li Tianlan held Qin Weibai tight in his arms and smelt the mild fragrance in her, his eyes peaceful.
Everything had come to an end.
Zhongzhou State’s scheme, the final battle in Changdao, everything.
At the moment the sword light lit up, it had come to an end.
Li Tianlan looked far away.
The tide would fall after rising.
It was calm and peaceful on the sea.
Li Tianlan looked at the farthest place.
He couldn’t stride over the sea in front of him after all. He couldn’t get back to Zhongzhou State, back to the forest and the campsite where he had most of his memories.
Li Tianlan felt pity, guilty, and unwilling to give up, but he didn’t regret anything.
He wouldn’t regret anything till his death.
His palm gently stroked Qin Weibai’s neck.
The blood tainted his fingers. It was a little moist.
“Does it hurt?”
Li Tianlan asked softly.
“Yes.”
Qin Weibai held Li Tianlan’s body tight and said in a small voice.
“I’m here.”
Li Tianlan said in a calm tone.
Qin Weibai answered quietly, then lifted her head, and looked at Li Tianlan.
“It’s okay.”
Her slim, white hand gently stroked Li Tianlan’s face, and she said softly.
Li Tianlan smiled, held her hand, and said, “Look at the starry sky with me.”
The world was silent.
But the starry sky was bright.
He held Qin Weibai’s waist with one hand and took a step forward.
The ocean was farther, but the mountain was closer.
The angry screams became loud again, and the noises came back.
Qin Weibai frowned slightly.
“Quiet.”
Li Tianlan said.
His voice echoed between heaven and earth, and the whole battlefield froze at this moment.
The battle was still going on, but all the sound was completely shut down.
Li Tianlan picked up the broken Human Emperor, and the sword edge was slightly shaking.
The sharpness that could stab through heaven and earth suddenly appeared.
The sharpness rushed into the shining blue thunderbolt. The thunderbolt suddenly exploded, and the battle came to an end.
Ice Crystal and Ice Frost from Kunlun City appeared after the thunderbolt.
And in front of them, Glacier and Tide, the two royal security guards of the Half-step Invincible Realm had disappeared.
There was no blood or crying.
The sword intent swept over, and everything disappeared in the evaporation.
Ice Crystal who lost an arm looked pale in the face. Ice Frost supported him with his hands, and their bodies started to shake violently.
They were two of the top-notch superiors and also the face of Kunlun City. But in front of Li Tianlan, the two of them didn’t have the gut to maintain the so-called bravery and dignity.
Li Tianlan just stood there, but it looked like he was standing at a very high place and looking down. His dignity and aggressiveness were powerful enough to make anyone desperate.
Li Tianlan held Qin Weibai with one hand and held the sword with the other hand.
The sword and the beauty were everything to him. They were the world to him.
“Ice Crystal, Ice Frost, here to greet Your Highness.”
Ice Crystal and Ice Frost bowed deeply and said in a shaky and respectful tone.
Your Highness!
It wasn’t an honorific title for his status, but for his power.
But status and power were the same things in the Dark World.
Nobody knew whether Li Tianlan was in the Invincible Realm or not right now. But everyone knew that Li Tianlan was definitely invincible right now.
He was the Highness.
Li Tianlan didn’t stop, just left with Qin Weibai.
Ice Crystal and Ice Frost, two superiors at the peak of the Thunder-shocking Realm from Kunlun City bowed deeply to Li Tianlan’s back in a respectful and humble way.
The sword light lit up again in front of everyone.
The silver broken sword looked short and worn. But it actually looked sharp enough to pierce through the whole world in Li Tianlan’s hands.
The giant head of King Bear from the Polar Ground Alliance flew up in the air. His eyes were still wide open for he didn’t die in peace.
Wang Shengxiao who was covered in blood was supported by the Enchantress. He looked at Li Tianlan with a complicated expression on his face.
He felt proud and arrogant, and he wasn’t willing to accept this.
But in front of the invincible superior, he had to be respectful.
Wang Shengxiao slowly bowed down and said softly, “Here to greet Your Highness.”
In his voice, Holy Light, the head of the eight knights from Knights Templars, was chopped into pieces by the sword light.
The body of Ben, the vice-chairman of the Heroes’ Club, fell down from the sky.
Li Tianlan saw Gongsun Qi.
Gongsun Qi, who was seriously injured, had met up with his Terracotta Army.
Zhongzhou State Terracotta was considered an army, but a quarter of the army just included six people including Gongsun Qi.
Gongsun Qi was facing a giant monster covered in alloy armor.
That was the captain of Kusanagi Force.
The sword intent shook and fell from the sky.
A crack with the length of a hundred meters appeared on the ground. The giant alloy armor flew up in the sky and burst out in the surging sword intent. It became dust before it fell on the ground.
Li Tianlan wandered in the battlefield with Qin Weibai. The enemies that made everyone in Zhongzhou State feel desperate was crushed and disappeared one by one.
The superiors disappeared one by one.
The elites disappeared group after group.
That man in white held the beautiful woman and wandered in the starry sky. His every move was stern and charming.
Everything had actually come to an end.
When the sword in Li Tianlan’s hand lit up.
It was destined.
A person, a sword.
They were enough to turn back the impossible!
A sword was all it needed.
They were all nonentities.
“Li Tianlan, have you thought about the future when you did this?!”
Crow from Fantasy World tried his best to run away and screamed furiously.
The sword light followed Crow along the way. The thunderbolt lit up afar, and then it went silent.
“Right now, what I regret the most is that there won’t be any future.”
Looking at the direction where Crow’s body disappeared, Li Tianlan said softly to himself.
“Tianlan, be careful, Evil from the Jiang family of South America is also here, and he has the Legend of Qin.”
Qin Weibai warned Li Tianlan in his arms.
The Legend of Qin.
It was one of the 12 Murderous Weapons that belonged to the Jiang family of South America. It was here, which meant the one in Huating, Zhongzhou State was definitely fake.
Li Tianlan’s eyes lit up for a second, then he answered her simply.
Daybreak, who was also in white clothes, appeared in front of Li Tianlan, and his eyes looked sad and complicated.
In front of Li Tianlan, he bowed down deeply and said in a shaky voice, “Here to greet Your Highness.”
Li Tianlan nodded. “We meet again.”
Daybreak lifted his head. Regret and desperation were written on his face.
They failed to protect Huawu. They failed to protect Li Tianlan, either.
Li Tianlan had no future.
But where was their future?
“It’s fine.”
Li Tianlan said. Then he took a step forward and directly appeared in front of Saint.
He let go of Qin Weibai’s waist, turned and looked at her face.
Qin Weibai’s stare was deep and persistent.
Li Tianlan laughed. His smile was bright like the white clothes in him, clean and pure.
“The starry sky is very beautiful.”
He said, “But you’re more beautiful.”
“It’s gonna be alright.”
Qin Weibai’s voice was soft, but she said it in a determined way.
“Little boy, you really think you’re invincible?!”
A furious scream loud like thunder rang in the sky and kept echoing.
The figure far away flashed away. The saber light broke through the sky and rushed over.
Tianhai Wuji, the Master of Wuji Palace, appeared on the battlefield. The Grandmaster of Jifeng Sword-reining School, Liusheng Cangquan, also appeared in the high sky not far from him.
Two superiors of the Invincible Realm.
Plus a superior of the Invincible Realm with a murderous weapon hidden in the dark.
Li Tianlan turned around peacefully and said softly, “I’ll go kill them.”
He looked at Qin Weibai and said with regret, “Too bad I can’t avenge for you. The Jiang family of South America... is too far.”
The Jiang family was in South America.
The distance between South America and East Island was longer than the sea between East Island and Zhongzhou State.
“Believe in me.”
Qin Weibai held Li Tianlan’s cold hand and looked into his eyes. “You’re not gonna die.”
“Alright.”
Li Tianlan laughed. His loud, clear voice rang out in the night sky and kept echoing. “After this battle, if I survive, I, Li Tianlan swear to the mountain and the sea, that I’ll do everything I can to wipe out the Jiang family of South America!”
It was a solemn vow of loyalty.
“You think you can do that? With the broken sword in your hand?”
A voice rang out in the void. It sounded faint and vague.
It was Evil’s voice.
Li Tianlan slowly lowered his head and looked at the broken Human Emperor in his hand. After a while, he said softly, “This sword indeed doesn’t deserve it.”
“Then use this one!”
A voice rang out on the sea afar.
He swore to the mountain and the sea.
The mountain and the sea answered him.
Huge waves surged up on the calm sea in the north.
The huge waves hit the sky!
“Then use this one!”
That calm but complicated voice kept echoing in the air. The whole sea area seemed to surge and churn under the influence of the voice.
A great rainbow suddenly appeared in the sky afar in the north.
The long rainbow rushed up to the sky with crazy sword intent and a long-tail flame following it, like a shooting star breaking through the sky.
Between heaven and earth, above the sea.
A scarlet red light lit up and amazed the sky.
The red light had passed through the sea area with the distance of a thousand meters, and it kept shooting in the sky. The sharp sword intent beat back the sky and fell on Li Tianlan’s hands, as if it just traveled through hundreds of years.
That was a scarlet red long sword.
The sword blade was a bit wide, and there was a thin line in the middle. It looked like a wide-blade sword that was made of two separate swords.
The long sword blade reached out from the ferocious sword hilt, with the earth-shattering sharpness.
The sword intent was floating around Li Tianlan.
The red long sword seemed to have a soul. It kept shaking in Li Tianlan’s hands, out of excitement and thrill.
At that moment, Li Tianlan stayed still, and the amazing sword intent suddenly flew up.
Li Tianlan closed his eyes and held the sword edge tight. Tears streamed down his face.
He didn’t expect he would see this sword again and feel the sword intent of this sword when the glory of the Li family was about to die out.
That was the sword intent connected to the 24 Moves of Sword!
Lin Fengting appeared in his sight. He looked at Li Tianlan, who held the sword with a complicated expression on his face.
That was the sword of the Patriarch from Xuanyuantai of Kunlun.
It used to belong to the Wang family of Beihai for a very long time.
This sword.
It was called Divine Punishment!
