Chapter 379 - Dual Wind and Thunder Veins
Chapter 379 Dual Wind and Thunder Veins
Li Tianlan looked at the sky.
The three young Chosen Ones were looking at Li Tianlan.
This was a deadly, almost frozen picture.
Large areas of the jungle were shattered into dust, and the flat ground became a pond in the scourge of sword intent. The dust was still flying in the ruins after the collapse of the teaching building and the warehouse. It was foggy everywhere.
Li Tianlan was standing quietly on the top of a tree, bathing in the sun and holding the branch.
The green branch seemed to lose a leaf, but the other leaves were still moist, clean with the water stains left by the night rain and the dew.
The branch and he were very clean.
The battle that fiercely affected everyone’s mind and attracted the eyes of the world seemed to come to an end. But it seemed to have just begun.
He held the branch and stood casually on the treetop. It was clean and fresh, as if he was walking on this battlefield.
He looked at the sky.
The three Chosen Ones who were covered with dust and blood stared at him.
There was no anger, sorrow, or self-deprecation in the silent and solidified picture.
All emotions seemed to freeze completely with the blood.
Only stagnation remained.
They stood at the pinnacle of power, broke the rules, lost the friendship, used every means, and bore the pressure to fight in blood in order to eliminate the threat in the future.
In the end, when they spared no efforts, got injured, and should be completely relaxed, they found that they had just ruined a fallen leaf, a wisp of sword intent, or an incarnation thrown by the opponent into the sky.
What mood did they have?
Jiang Shangyu looked at Li Tianlan with a complicated expression.
He was not strange to this method, but he was absolutely unfamiliar with that.
The Li Tianlan they destroyed was not an incarnation.
It was the sword intent.
The purest sword intent that belonged to Li Tianlan.
The sword intent was always in their sight.
The sword intent never deceived their eyes, but the pure sword intent twisted the void and finally twisted into the shape of Li Tianlan in the void.
That was extremely powerful and pure sword intent.
All three of them saw was the illusion after the distortion of the void.
In fact, it was a leaf, a wisp of sword intent.
It was like magic.
The magic that was only eligible for the one at the peak of the Invincible Realm to play.
Naturally, Li Tianlan’s combat capability could not match the peak of the Invincible Realm.
But his vision, his insight, his thoughts, and even his willpower had approached the most mysterious and powerful domain.
Wang Shengxiao’s path was just a prototype.
The road of Jiang Shangyu had just begun.
The road in front of Li Tianlan had reached the highest point.
He was standing on that road and moving on.
All Jiang Shangyu’s complacency disappeared completely. As he looked at Li Tianlan in front of him, his dull eyes became dimmed and even a little desperate.
Gu Hanshan trembled from head to toe.
He shuddered very clearly, as if he were suffering convulsions. He exhausted all his power to hold the dagger that had recently stabbed the fallen leaf. The sword edge trembled along with his arm, cutting through the air.
His face was completely twisted.
After stagnation, he felt confused, unbelievable, and incredible. All this eventually turned into jealousy that burned everything!
How could this Li family’s surviving member, a nonentity, come to this point? !! Why did he get there?
Li Tianlan had the vision of the peak of the Invincible Realm and the combat capability of the Invincible Realm.
Why could not he do this himself?
What person was Li Tianlan? Why him?
Gu Hanshan gritted his teeth and stared at the unscathed Li Tianlan.
Thinking of the fierce fighting just now, he suddenly felt that everything was a joke.
His eyes became grim, with jealousy, and finally were filled with venomous feelings and killing intent.
“Puff!”
Wang Shengxiao spat out fresh blood again.
His eyes were a little dizzy.
But his whole person became soberer and soberer. The scenes of the fighting just now replayed in his mind, and each scene seemed to mock at them mercilessly.
He did not understand why Li Tianlan was so crazy, or why the branch in his hand disappeared under the Heaven Punishment Sword Intent of Chen Moxue. He did not understand why Li Tianlan had no sense at all.
The truth of everything was only because it was just a wisp of sword intent condensed by a fallen leaf.
No matter how pure the sword intent was, sword intent was sword intent. Without life, there would be no thought or reason.
The three young Chosen Ones of Zhongzhou State joined forces to fight with a fallen leaf. It was thrilling and soul-stirring, and they finally won.
A fallen leaf!!!
Such a joke might have already spread throughout the Dark World, right?
Wang Shengxiao raised the corner of his lips.
He laughed.
The Chosen One of Beihai, who was destined to shoulder the Wang family of Beihai for decades to come, shivered and laughed inexplicably, full of self-deprecation.
But he was not disappointed.
Not at all.
When Jiang Shangyu was a little desperate and Gu Hanshan was jealous, the helplessness and unhappiness in Wang Shengxiao’s eyes disappeared with the appearance of Li Tianlan.
The fire flickered in his eyes and eventually turned into a wildfire that burned everything.
He was the most severely injured, but he was the first to raise the Firmament in his hand.
The huge sword edge pointed at Li Tianlan, and its sword intent soared into the sky.
At this moment, Wang Shengxiao had no cowardice, jealousy, or disappointment in his eyes. Only firmness and madness remained.
Li Tianlan’s eyes retreated from the sky, and he looked at Wang Shengxiao.
Wang Shengxiao stood upright, holding a sword. His figure stood upright like a javelin.
“I lost today.”
Wang Shengxiao’s eyes became more and more frantic.
But his tone was calm and a little modest. “I am sincerely convinced.”
He took a step forward with a sword, looked at Li Tianlan, and said softly, “But the maneuver is not over. If you do not die today, for many years from now, I am willing to chase your back.”
There was a light flashing across Li Tianlan’s eyes.
The figure of Wang Shengxiao was reflected in his quiet and deep pupils, so clear.
This was Wang Shengxiao.
He lost the maneuver and became a laughing stock, with serious injuries.
But compared to Gu Hanshan and Jiang Shangyu, who completely forgot themselves, this Chosen One of Beihai did not lose the demeanor of the Wang family of Beihai, after all.
He still dared to fight and draw his sword!
On the stand, Wang Tianzong’s eyes gradually became peaceful.
He looked at Wang Shengxiao’s firm and yet crazy eyes on the screen and raised the corner of his mouth imperceptibly.
He had anticipated the situation today.
In Lin’an, he had already noticed the height of Li Tianlan’s Martial Arts.
However, before the maneuver began, he had not thought that there was such a means of controlling the battlefield with a green leaf.
That was the domain of an expert at the peak of the Invincible Realm.
Li Tianlan’s technique was very jerky and had too many loopholes. In the eyes of anyone who was in the Invincible Realm or even in the Half-step Invincible Realm, that method was ridiculous. But it also meant that Li Tianlan had explored the way to the peak.
A green leaf battled with three young Chosen Ones.
This ending could be described as extremely miserable.
But in his eyes, his son lost not that embarrassedly.
At the very least, he did not lose his conviction, and he still had a fighting desire in his heart.
Martial Arts were like climbing a mountain, crossing the sea, and climbing to the sky.
Who could sing along the way?
Failure was actually not terrible.
Admitting defeat and willingly chasing the opponent’s back actually required more courage.
Wang Tianzong’s palm stroked the famous sword Listen to the Sea beside him.
His eyes changed gradually from peaceful to cold.
Li Tianlan stood on the treetop and turned slowly.
He was slow, but his every move affected everyone’s nerves.
He glanced over the sword in Wang Shengxiao’s hand, ignored the Sword Energy on the blade, and finally fixed his eyes on Gu Hanshan.
Gu Hanshan’s expression was still distorted, and he even forgot to hide the jealousy deep in his eyes.
“Do you like laughing very much?”
Li Tianlan raised his eyebrows and asked, “So humorous?”
“…”
Gu Hanshan froze for a moment, and his face turned purplish-red in an instant.
He remembered his wild laughter as he tore that green leaf.
It was the most humiliating moment of his life.
“What did you say?!”
Gu Hanshan was furious.
Li Tianlan’s eyes were still quiet, and his tone was indifferent. “This kind of temperament really brings disgrace to the Heavenly King Heart. It also insults the four words of the young Chosen One, Kunlun City… ha…”
It was impossible for his voice to reach the stand.
But it easily fell into the ears of everyone present.
Gu Hanshan’s mind was chaotic, and his eyes were bloodshot in a flash.
That was not the upright fighting desire as Wang Shengxiao’s.
He was ashamed into anger when his scars were revealed.
He instinctively took a step forward but stopped still.
“Kunlun City, set up the formation!”
His face turned completely red. He finally did not dare to take action himself but roared.
Everyone involved in the maneuver had arrived at the scene.
The Final Hit Formation that Kunlun City had been preparing for a long time became powerful.
This was a sword formation without a so-called core.
But no core, if conditions permitted, did not mean that there could not be a core.
Gu Youlan, Gu Qianchuan’s self-imparting disciple and the founder of Jilei Mountain, was standing in the formation at this time.
The pale-faced Gu Youlan, whose injuries were not fully recovered, bit her lips tightly and raised the sword in her hand.
Suddenly, this Final Hit Formation formed by more than fifty elites directly burst out majestic sword intent.
Li Tianlan raised his eyebrows slightly.
His figure trembled gently on the branch.
Silently, his whole figure gradually faded and eventually disappeared in the bright sunshine.
The sword intent of the Final Hit Sword Formation was surging, becoming more and more magnificent.
Gu Hanshan suddenly turned around and looked around.
“Behind you!”
Jiang Shangyu suddenly raised his voice.
Gu Hanshan turned quickly.
Only sunlight, a pool, a sword formation, Wang Shengxiao, and Jiang Shangyu were in his sight.
“Behind you!!”
A chill instantly swept the whole body of Gu Hanshan.
He turned again.
A dense forest appeared in his sight, but Li Tianlan still did not appear.
Terrifying danger seemed to be lurking behind him, but he could see nothing.
He turned around again.
He still saw nothing.
“What are you looking for?”
When the voice sounded, one hand rested on Gu Hanshan’s shoulder at the same time.
All of Gu Hanshan’s hair erected. He roared and the sword intent that had been accumulated all over his body instantly shot in all directions.
But the hand on his shoulder was still stable.
The palm slightly tightened.
While Gu Hanshan was seriously injured, an irresistible force directly pressed on his shoulder.
Gu Hanshan roared suddenly.
“Boom!”
He directly knelt on the ground.
“Boom!”
In the dull sound, Gu Hanshan’s back was kicked before he could have time to feel humiliated.
Red fresh blood spewed out of his mouth like a fountain. Gu Hanshan’s body directly flew to the distance of tens of meters.
Gu Hanshan resisted the pain to climb up in the fastest time and looked coldly…
There was nothing in his sight.
“Behind you!!”
In the shrill warning, Gu Hanshan responded completely by instinct. He clenched his dagger and swept it back directly.
His body turned at a high speed, but he still did not see Li Tianlan. All he saw was only one hand.
One arm clenched his arm and pulled it very gently.
“Ahhhh!”
The severe pain made Gu Hanshan growl violently. The strength of his body was fragile like a piece of paper in that hand. His arm was torn off by its pulling. The dagger fell out from his hand and was caught by Li Tianlan later.
The sword edge flickered with a chilling light in the sun, looking dark red.
Without any hesitation, Li Tianlan stabbed Gu Hanshan in the back waist with great stability. His blood splattered. The dagger was stabbed in and was pulled out violently. Li Tianlan kicked Gu Hanshan out again.
“Li Tianlan!!!”
With pain and anger, Gu Hanshan’s entire face and even his voice became distorted.
At this moment, he finally remembered a kind of unique skill that was secretly passed down by the Li family, the legendary one recorded in the Invincible Manual of Map of God of War.
Night Walking.
This could be said to be the most top but also the most difficult body movement in the Dark World. It was also an almost invincible unique skill. It was good at chasing and body-to-body assassination.
In the fight in the same realm, once Night Walking took the lead, the enemy would never see the position. In this way, the body movement looked like a blind spot using the field of vision and absolute speed. But in reality, Night Walking sought the grasp of the instinct and details of the enemy’s body.
Instinct was the fastest.
This was a form of instinct that could always be synchronized with the enemy’s actions. When one practiced to the peak and appeared behind the enemy in battle, one would always be behind the enemy until the enemy died.
Gu Hanshan had the Heavenly King Heart. During his peak, he was absolutely focused and could be said to be the biggest nemesis of Night Walking.
But under the chaos of his mind and the attack of Li Tianlan, he had no strength to counterattack.
Using the body movement which was mostly restrained by the Heavenly King Heart was the greatest humiliation to Kunlun City and Gu Hanshan.
The dagger penetrated the body of Gu Hanshan.
Gu Hanshan endured severe pain, struggled to contract the muscles in his waist, and controlled the gush of blood.
Li Tianlan stood in the sunshine, holding a dagger, and smiled gently. “You guys had enough fun just now. It’s time for me to play.”
In today’s final maneuver, the world should not only see his sword.
They should also see the embarrassing moments of the other young Chosen Ones in Zhongzhou State.
There was still a lot of time. Li Tianlan only intended to play slowly.
He glanced across Jiang Shangyu and Gu Hanshan and looked at Wang Shengxiao.
Wang Shengxiao still maintained the posture, holding a sword.
Li Tianlan’s gaze came over.
He closed his eyes slowly.
Li Tianlan’s pupils contracted calmly.
In his perception, the moment Wang Shengxiao closed his eyes, he was lifeless.
In the sunlight, he was like a statue of flesh placed there.
His vitality was disappearing.
But the Sword Energy around Wang Shengxiao became more violent than ever.
The Sword Energy continued to rise.
It surpassed the previous Heaven Punishment Sword and the Heavenly Sword in the domain of the three.
He stood silently, and there was only peace.
He had the peace of mind, gentle breathing, and focused will.
Wang Shengxiao’s body was completely shrouded in the sword intent.
Failure came first before honor.
There were always so many occasions in life. Even if one gave up everything, one could not take a step back.
Li Tianlan ignored Wang Shengxiao.
It was better to destroy a man from inside than to destroy his body.
He could not kill.
But if there were a chance to destroy their minds completely, Li Tianlan would not be polite.
He held the branch in one hand and threw the dagger to Gu Hanshan casually with the other hand. He said blankly, “Continue.”
It was not Gu Hanshan who continued.
Just after Li Tianlan said it, Jiang Shangyu rushed forward without hesitation.
The so-called cooperation completely disappeared in the mind of Jiang Shangyu at this moment.
His essence, qi, and spirit were completely concentrated. His will was focused, and his heart was pure.
Li Tianlan told them that he was going to play slowly.
But he did not want Li Tianlan to play slowly.
Throughout Zhongzhou State, under the watchful eyes of countless force groups all over the world, Jiang Shangyu did not want Li Tianlan to press himself to the ground in any way.
He had never been born in the superpowers with top Martial Arts such as the Wang family of Beihai and Kunlun City. He had no top-level martial inheritance, either.
But he had his arrogance.
Miles of Starry Sky！
With Jiang Shangyu as the center, the sunlight in a large area nearby was suddenly dim.
Starlight lit up one after another area.
Jiang Shangyu’s figure stepped across the land and jumped into the sky.
The whole land shook.
The faint starlight burst suddenly.
The stars shone brightly.
Rays of starlight that took up the entire space dragged each other into thunderbolts.
The thunderbolts gathered on Jiang Shangyu’s arm. Under the dazzling light, a large number of thunderbolts gathered into a fist that was dozens of meters long.
Jiang Shangyu yelled loudly. He clenched his fist composed of thunderbolts and smashed down.
Li Tianlan’s eyes were quiet and undisturbed.
He watched Jiang Shangyu who was constantly accumulating power.
He watched that huge punch traversing tens of meters of space fall down.
The tree branch in his hand hung on the ground.
He raised one hand.
There was no starlight, night, thunderbolt, or Sword Energy.
A sword was a sword.
The fist was the fist.
His figure was extremely small under the shadow of dozens of meters. But at this moment Li Tianlan’s whole body exuded a kind of momentum that could suppress everything!
Under the shadow of the fist, he punched into the sky with the mighty power like a sea.
The air within a hundred meters suddenly twisted due to his punch.
Space exploded in the squeeze, with a harsh explosion. The starlight, slightly flickering but seeming to be infinite, extinguished instantly.
The sunlight fell again.
It shone the fist shadow composed of thunderbolts in the void.
Li Tianlan punched directly on the fist shadow.
“Boom!”
In the dull hitting sound, a large area of land between Li Tianlan and Jiang Shangyu continued to crack. The flat ground continued to undulate and spread with the appearance of cracks. Smoke and dust rose, permeating the sky and rushing into the woods like a gale.
Blood gushed from Jiang Shangyu’s mouth and squirted from his arm. His body trembled violently, and his breath rose and fell, fluctuating constantly.
Li Tianlan did not move. Under the collision of two kinds of tremendous force, his clothes and hair never rose even a bit.
Jiang Shangyu gritted his teeth tightly.
The violent force twisted the air.
In front of him, there seemed to be a thick city wall blocking his progress.
The incredible destructive force was pressing his entire body. His bones began to fall apart, and his muscles were completely deformed.
In the space difficult for him to move, he raised another arm again.
Still a punch.
Still Miles of Starry Sky！
The starlight quietly lit up in a storm of power.
Darkness came quietly under the sun.
Gu Hanshan, who managed to calm down, followed Jiang Shangyu and attacked with all his strength.
The Ninth Secluded Impasse!
The Eighth Supreme Sword Move.
The Extermination of Five Elements.
The Three Elements Final Hit.
For a moment, Gu Hanshan seemed to become an ejector of Sword Energy. The dense sword intent whistled out as his body shook. Many sword wheels and the whistling sword shadows all rushed into the pseudo domain.
They combined with the starry sky and assimilated with darkness.
Miles of Starry Sky and Ninth Secluded Impasse blended into each other.
However, Wang Shengxiao’s sword stroke was missing.
Wang Shengxiao still held his sword and closed his eyes.
The madly gathered Sword Energy covered him.
Sword Energy became more and more abundant. A large area of space fluctuated around him like undulating waves. A sea seemed to appear in the air around Wang Shengxiao.
He lifted up the extremely heavy Firmament a little.
But he seemed to have forgotten everything around him. He did not speak or attack.
It was Gu Youlan who attacked.
It was a Final Hit Sword Formation composed of more than fifty elites who were at least at the peak of the Ice-condensing Realm.
Within the domain, the starlight lit up.
On the edge of the woods, Gu Youlan, who had accumulated the sword intent of the Final Hit Sword Formation to the limit, gave an extremely loud scream.
The silver mask that was always on her face exploded directly under the Sword Energy that continually gathered.
Her long hair was fluttering in the sword intent.
In the roaring sword intent, everyone saw her face.
It was a beautiful face, very charming, but with a little tenderness and coldness.
In the sword intent rising into the sky, her figure went straight into the sky. With the sword intent gathered by dozens of people together, with her strongest blow, she held the sword in both hands and rushed straight to Li Tianlan.
The sword might seem light, but it was extremely strange and quick.
The figure of Gu Youlan passed through the sky like a goshawk. She held the sword with both hands. A blurry light lit up on the tip of the sword.
It was like a thunderbolt, a flame, ice, and flying snow, all-encompassing. All the light eventually became extremely erratic.
The light on the tip of the sword was getting brighter.
This seemed to be a sword cutting through space directly. When Gu Youlan passed by, the entire space was fragmented, mottled, and turned into a strange color, neither black or white.
She rushed into the pseudo domain, darkness, and starlight.
She was resolute.
Behind Gu Youlan, in addition to more than 50 elites forming the Final Hit Sword Formation who lost strength and fell to the ground, dozens of remaining members of the six teams rushed to Li Tianlan at the same time.
Everyone tried his best!
Young Chosen Ones, majestic sword formation, and scattered elites.
Everyone charged!
Li Tianlan still stood in place.
The Final Hit Sword Formation made up the Heavenly Sword.
Everything seemed to be beginning to shift towards the real domain again.
Li Tianlan laughed.
This domain ripped a wisp of his sword intent.
Now that he was standing here, what was the significance of this so-called domain?
Gu Youlan pierced his chest with unparalleled sword light.
Li Tianlan raised his palm again.
He made a fist.
The branch was held in his other hand.
There was no sword intent.
Just the palm.
Just power.
This time, it was truly an all-out attack!
Crack!
In the silent pseudo domain, there was a clear cracking sound.
Li Tianlan’s palm seemed not quick, but it appeared right in front of Gu Youlan.
The starlight and pseudo domain were torn apart as soon as his palm was lifted.
The sword light shone on Li Tianlan’s calm and deep pupils.
His eyes were so silent.
So gentle.
But so majestic!
Gu Youlan’s body froze in the air.
With the sword intent of dozens of people and the strongest blow, she came to Li Tianlan and tried her best to stab him with a scream. But the long sword could no longer move forward.
Li Tianlan pinched the sword edge with one hand.
The violent Sword Energy hit the storm of power in Li Tianlan’s palm, trembling constantly, but could not move forward at all!
Sword light, starlight, pseudo domain, and the storm of power.
At this moment, all the destructive force collapsed around Li Tianlan, howling and flying.
In the changing light, he stood quietly, with his own general trend and peace.
This was the picture he left to the world.
But the enemies who besieged him were so desperate.
Li Tianlan pinched the sword edge of Gu Youlan and pulled it gently.
He flicked his finger.
His finger touched the sword edge and made a crisp sound.
The Sword Energy of the Final Hit Sword Formation was completely violent.
The shining sword edge was completely broken between Li Tianlan’s fingers.
The front end of the sword edge rushed towards Gu Hanshan and Jiang Shangyu with thick Sword Energy and an immense amount of power.
The body of Gu Youlan with a dagger fluttered in the pseudo domain.
Li Tianlan’s voice was very light. But in the pseudo domain, it sounded very loud.
“Goodbye,” he spoke, with fingers closed.
One punch!
The broken pseudo domain shattered instantly.
The vast power of heaven and earth erupted completely under the punch of Li Tianlan, like a mountain and a sea!
The ground where Li Tianlan was standing completely collapsed.
The pseudo domain disappeared, so did the starlight and the Sword Energy.
There was no light between heaven and earth, only power!
The tremendous force completely sent Gu Youlan and dozens of scattered elites who had besieged him flying.
On the big screen of the Sky Academy, Gu Youlan, who bore the brunt, was torn apart into powder in this punch.
One after another, the figures flew back in the waves of power.
The majestic power shook the sky, never-ending.
Countless people and countless swords fluttered chaotically in the mighty power. They gathered together and rushed out of the collapsed flat land with the rain-like blood, moving toward the woods.
The members of the Final Hit Sword Formation in the woods were directly rolled up.
Nearly a hundred elites and a hundred swords were rolled up in the air and rushed into the woods for hundreds of meters.
The incredible power swept with people and swords all the way. Countless trees in the entire forest collapsed and fell. The fallen leaves and blood flew at the same time. The entire dense forest was cleared of a straight passageway of more than 200 meters in an instant!
Li Tianlan was suspended in the air, expressionless.
He was quiet and almost seemed non-existent. But in the sun, the quietly suspended Li Tianlan was like an invincible demon in the eyes of everyone.
Jiang Shangyu and Gu Hanshan who were forced back by a broken sword shuddered at the same time.
They looked at the branch in Li Tianlan’s hand.
They watched that pure punch.
There was a clear emotional breakdown in their pupils.
Everyone looked at this incredible punch blankly.
Even Gu Xingyun’s eyes were full of surprise.
“How…”
He said with difficulty, “How was that possible?!”
He knew that Li Tianlan had Wind and Thunder Veins.
So after he fought against Gu Qianchuan, Gu Qianchuan said that Li Tianlan’s power was incredible, but he did not care.
But now this fist had exceeded the category of great power, at least beyond the category of Wind and Thunder Veins.
“Can anyone with Wind and Thunder Veins do this?!”
Gu Xingyun turned his head around, subconsciously looking at Wang Tianzong.
“No way.”
Wang Tianzong nodded. His son Wang Shengxiao also had Wind and Thunder Veins. But even if Wind and Thunder Veins had evolved to the highest level, it was difficult to do this with pure power. Whether it was the strength or the speed Li Tianlan displayed as he approached Gu Hanshan just now, Wang Shengxiao’s Wind and Thunder Veins were difficult to achieve them.
In his impression, only one person of the Invincible Realm could achieve this level with a punch.
His disciple, Dijiang, had Double Thunder Veins.
Li Tianlan also did that.
What did this mean?
“His constitution has improved.”
Wang Tianzong took a deep breath and said faintly, “This is Dual Wind and Thunder Veins!”
