It seemed like she was rising, and it seemed like she was falling.

Like the clear moon, the sword light rose up in the rain. The sword lights were intertwining together in the air, stirring the wind, the clouds, and the night rain. The raging sword intent flowed down under the crystal clear sword lights.

It was the unique technique of Jade Pool.

The Sword Move of the Flying Fairy from Outer s.p.a.ce!

Under the sword light, the Silence was still sharp and bright, but Dongcheng Rushi became the only existence in the world.

She held the sword and flew up in the air.

It was unutterably elegant and beautiful.

She was like the morning dew, the wind and the mist, illusory like a dream, ethereal and out of the world.

This was a sword strike too beautiful to be real. According to its demeanor instead of its movement, it was an invincible strike.

The world was like a hazy scroll painting that had dust all over it. Now there was a banished immortal, who withdrew from worldly affairs before, reentering the secular world. She and the sword merged into one, broke through the painting and came alive.

The sword could not be contaminated, and the sword intent could not be blasphemed.

Dongcheng Rushi’s shadow fell from the higher sky. The sword light and the sword, she and the Sword Energy blended in together at that moment.

It seemed like a long rainbow piercing through the sky!

The moon in the sky spread out and then gathered together again.

From top to bottom, there was only a beam of sharp light left between heaven and earth.

That was the sword intent that surpa.s.sed the Fire-flaming Realm, and the sword intent was the only thing left behind.

All of a sudden, she and the sword fell on the ground.

The messy lights and shadows spread through the sky. A great number of East Island elites nearby got blown off under the power of the sword intent, and the whole scene was a blurry mess.

The afterwaves of the sword light slowly started to fade away.

Three shadows rushed into the mountain forest at full speed.

In their sights, most of the East Island elites had already fallen all over the ground, and their formation was a mess. Xu Chu, Li Baitian, Yu Qingyan, Ye Huayu, and Ning Qiancheng were all there, but they were all in a coma and lying on the ground. Dongcheng Rushi stood there while holding her sword. Her delicate body was shaking slightly, facing Prince Renwu in front of her.

Prince Renwu’s clothing was completely torn apart, and a great amount of blood was bursting out of all over his body. He looked like a man covered in blood. He fixedly stared at Dongcheng Rushi in front of him. Besides his anger, there were still fear and twisted cruelty in his eyes.

The extremely fancy sword light around was completely obliterated.

Dongcheng Rushi’s pretty big eyes completely dimmed down. She tried her best to blink and stared at Prince Renwu without fear. “I won’t… I have…”

Her voice was low, and it kept getting low. Finally, her body fell backward before she could finish a sentence.

A pair of strong arms caught her from behind.

The owner of the pair of arms moved stiffly and didn’t try to hold her in the arms.

Dongcheng Rushi felt dizzy. She tried her best to open her dim but pretty eyes.

In her sight, there was the face of a young man, a very ordinary face, but his eyes were very deep and soft.

This was the face that she had seen in pictures countless times but had never seen in real life.

A name that she had heard from her grandpa, her grandma, her father all the time ever since she was a kid, a name that her families were still talking about, and a name that she heard so much that it was planted deep in her soul and blood.

He was her…

“Li Tianlan?”

Dongcheng Rushi blinked and asked softly while staring at the young man in front of her.

Li Tianlan nodded and seemed embarra.s.sed. He just held Dongcheng Rushi loosely to keep her from falling. It didn’t feel right to let her go, but it didn’t feel right to keep holding her, either.

“Sorry, we’re late.”

He said in a plain tone.

Dongcheng Rushi shook her head and stared at Li Tianlan deeply, looking right into his eyes.

His height was average, and his figure was quite slim. There wasn’t anything special with his face, and his hairstyle was also ordinary. The most attractive thing about him was his eyes. But it could be hard to spot anything special in him if one wasn’t paying attention.

As she expected… He was a bit ordinary.

Dongcheng Rushi thought in silence, then suddenly opened her mouth. “Do I look ugly right now?”

She subconsciously touched her dirty little face while asking.

“No, you don’t.”

Li Tianlan stopped for a second. To be honest, being dirty and being ugly were completely different. It would be strange for Dongcheng Rushi to keep her face clean after many days of running and fighting. Although now she looked like a kitten with whiskers, she didn’t look ugly at all. Although she was covered with dust, it made her beauty stand out.

“I must look hideous. You don’t even want to hug me.”

Dongcheng Rushi mumbled, then reached her hands with a serious look, trying to climb on Li Tianlan. “I’m so tired, and I need a rest. Please hug me.”

“…”

Li Tianlan’s head was a mess. Looking at Dongcheng Rushi’s serious and clear eyes, he subconsciously put forth strength in his arms and picked up Dongcheng Rushi.

The whole scene…

Seemed a bit off?

Li Tianlan didn’t know what would be the right scene, but what was happening right now didn’t match with any of his guesses.

Did it seem weird?

He lowered his head.

Dongcheng Rushi was squinting comfortably in his arms. She looked around knowingly and unknowingly.

It was very distinct between the two parties. Apart from her people, there were just the enemies left.

The confusion in Dongcheng Rushi’s eyes soon disappeared, then she pointed at Prince Renwu not far away from her and said seriously, “This man is Prince Renwu from the royalty. He wants to marry me, but I’ve told him that I have a fiancé. Be careful with him.”

Li Tianlan lifted his eyelids.

In his sight, the blood on Prince Renwu’s body had already solidified, and the wounds stopped bleeding. There seemed to be a layer of b.l.o.o.d.y thin ice on his body.

His body heated up inside the layer of thin ice. After a dull sound, the thin ice around him got blown off. He walked out of the ice chips, looking pale. There were still some bloodstains on his broken clothing, but the blood had dried off completely. He looked refreshing again.

Li Tianlan narrowed his eyes.

The two of them looked at each other in the eyes.

There were intense killing intent and mockery flashing in the prince’s eyes, and a bit excitement in them, too. But when he saw Dongcheng Rushi in his arms, all the other emotions in his eyes turned into killing intent completely.

Li Tianlan twitched the corner of his mouth. His figure slightly moved, and he was immediately standing beside Duke.

“How is it?”

He asked simply.

He was asking about the injuries of Ning Qiancheng and the rest. Although he could sense that they were just in a normal coma, it would be more valid to check on them than to just sense.

“Nothing serious.”

There were doubt and confusion in Duke’s tone. “They all just pa.s.sed out, yeah…”

He hesitated for a second, then pointed at Ning Qiancheng. “There’s something wrong with him. His injury… seems to be more serious, but his vital signs are stable. I don’t know how to put it. His injury is real, but now it seems it’s just a minor injury…”

Li Tianlan was relieved and said in a soft voice, “Good, everyone is fine.”

Duke still looked confused. He looked at Dongcheng Rushi and asked suddenly, “Miss Dongcheng, was it you that used that sword move?”

Dongcheng Rushi nodded in Li Tianlan’s arms.

“But that was the sword intent of the Invincible Realm!”

Duke looked stern.

Li Tianlan was a bit surprised in his heart, then lowered his head and looked at Dongcheng Rushi.

“It was the sword intent of the Silence.”

Dongcheng Rushi said softly.

Silence the sword.

Duke seemed to realize something but still looked confused. He subconsciously lay eyes on the ancient sword in Dongcheng Rushi’s hand.

There were cracks everywhere on the sheath of the ancient sword. The cracks were so dense that it looked like the sheath would crumble and the blade would be exposed at any time. But it just didn’t crumble, as if the pieces were glued together.

Duke still had questions in his heart, but he also knew that it wasn’t a perfect time to ask. He shook his head and hesitated.

“I’m sleepy.”

Dongcheng Rushi said softly, then closed her eyes in Li Tianlan’s arms.

Before she went unconscious, that pair of eyes appeared in her head again.

That pair of eyes with a soft, complicated, deep and experienced look.

That arm forcefully pressed back her soon-to-explode invincible sword intent of the Myriad, and the invincible strike wore out. The Invincible Myriad Sword was forcefully turned into the unique technique of Jade Pool, Flying Fairy from Outer s.p.a.ce.

At that moment, she wasn’t the one using the sword.

Instead, it was an arm controlling her body and transferring the sword intent of the Silence.

To put it in a simple way, the sword strike just now didn’t come from her own strength.

She was getting dizzier and dizzier.

Who was he?

Where was he?

Dongcheng Rushi struggled for a while with questions in her head, then finally pa.s.sed out in Li Tianlan’s arms.

“Horseman.”

Li Tianlan suddenly yelled.

Horseman, who was attending the wounded in coma turned around and looked at Li Tianlan.

“Take good care of them.”

Li Tianlan handed Dongcheng Rushi to Horsewoman, and his tone was plain.

At the front, Prince Renwu’s smooth, teasing voice rang out and sounded playful. “Renwu is here to pay respects to two Super Masters of Samsara.”

He spoke perfect Chinese, looking at Li Tianlan who was walking towards him, said with a smile on his face, “Oh, and Mr. Li Tianlan, I’ve heard so much about you.”

“The East Island royalty is getting nasty in recent years.”

Duke shrugged slightly, looking at Prince Renwu, then said in disdain, “Do you want to use Dongcheng Rushi to affect Dongcheng Wudi? So that you can control the Border Praetorian Corps? When did you ever succeed using these old tricks?”

“It was because they didn’t know what’s good for them.”

Prince Renwu said in a plain tone, “It’s their honor to be related to the royalty. A woman from Shina…”

He pointed at Dongcheng Rushi. “I admit that she is very pretty. But since I give her the honor of being my wife, her family should serve the royalty. Is there anything wrong?”

“Idiot.”

Duke twitched his mouth. “You call yourselves the royalty? You do nothing but dirty business. You have no guts, royalty my a.s.s.”

Renwu narrowed his eyes, and fury flashed through his eyes.

He suddenly took a few steps back and said while smiling, “Then how about I do something with guts right now? Like inviting the two Super Masters of Samsara and Mr. Li Tianlan to the Imperial House?”

The mountain forest became dark again. Prince Renwu was laughing confidently and wickedly. He looked at Li Tianlan and said in a soft voice, “Is Dongcheng Rushi your fiancée? In the Imperial Palace of East Island, I’ll make your fiancée my wife, and I’ll make you watch the whole thing, the whole thing. Does this excite you? Hmm? Hahaha.”

Li Tianlan twitched the corner of his mouth, and his eyes suddenly became gloomy and cold.

“You can do that?”

Duke sneered, then took a quick glance, and lay his eyes on the High Priest of Ise Grand Shrine.

“Tian Yue, do you think you can stop me?”

Then he looked at Bai Ye. “Do you think you can stop Horsewoman?”

“Maybe I can’t.”

The priest red robe Tian Yue wore was also torn badly, but he said in a peaceful tone, “But do you really think we’re your only enemies?”

“Duke, it has been a while since we last met.”

A low voice rang out after Tian Yue finished what he said.

A shadow wearing normal combat uniform of East Island elite walked out of the darkness. He took off his combat helmet while walking out of the darkness.

It was a standard European white man’s face behind the helmet. His face looked chubby, and his blonde hair was glowing.

He wore a golden crucifix on his neck, and it was shining in the dark.

“Holy Light?!”

Duke raised his eyebrows slightly and narrowed his eyes subconsciously.

He was the Vice Commander of Northern Europe Knights Templars. His code name was Holy Light, and he was a superior a half step to Invincible Realm.

Duke looked surprised, but he didn’t show it. “How can you cooperate with East Island in this situation?”

“When Samsara cooperates with heresy, it becomes the enemy of Knights Templars.”

Holy Light said calmly, “You shouldn’t take the Dark Knights’ side.”

Duke sneered gently.

In Zhongzhou State, the Dark Knights showed their absolute sincerity. In order to work with Zhongzhou State and Samsara to conquer East Island, the Dark Knights even took out the murderous weapon, Dark Saint Spear at the final battle. It had become one of the main powers that kept the Commander of Knights Templars in Zhongzhou State. Did Holy Light come to work with the East Island royalty to take revenge on Samsara?

“Didn’t I mention it before? I hate your smiley face so much. Every time I see your smile, I want to kill you.”

An ice-cold female voice echoed in the dark. In the night sky, a curvy woman walked over. She also wore a set of normal combat uniform, but the slightly tight uniform completely showed her perfect figure, pretty and charming, curvy and tempting.

Under Duke’s stare, the woman took off her helmet and showed her pretty and extremely mature face.

Duke was deadpan.

The woman casually threw the helmet near Duke’s feet, then sneered. “What do you think of this helmet? I’m gonna put your ashes in it, then throw it in the toilet. This is the perfect ending for you b.a.s.t.a.r.ds of Samsara.”

“Nice idea.”

Duke said calmly, “How come I didn’t think of this when I killed your brother? If I threw Spiritual Snake’s ashes in the toilet… What a brilliant idea. Your brother didn’t have the chance to try it. But I’ll save the opportunity for you, Rattlesnake, you’ll like it.”

The woman was called Rattlesnake.

Before Night Spirit was doomed, she was one of the top Generals of Night Spirit. Her position was like that of Duke in Samsara, very important and powerful.

Rattlesnake’s ranking in Night Spirit was even higher than her own brother Spiritual Snake, and her combat strength was no less than Duke. But at the night of Samsara destroying Night Spirit, Rattlesnake was hurt badly by Saint. The brother and sister met Duke, who was in charge of hunting. To help Rattlesnake escape, Spiritual Snake was killed by him.

The East Island royalty, Ise Grand Shrine, Wuji Palace, Knights Templars, and the surviving members of Night Spirit.

It was really crowded tonight.

Was it really a setup?

“Such a big scene. Did you guys stay here just to wait for me? If I didn’t show up…”

“Wait for you? Who the h.e.l.l are you?”

Rattlesnake laughed coldly and interrupted Duke. “We are waiting for your current master. The Mikado and Chaos His Highness wagered good money on him. As for you? Do you think anyone will care about your life?”

She sneered while looking at Duke, then lay her eyes on Li Tianlan.

Li Tianlan caught her eyes with a calm face.

“I don’t like your expression.”

Rattlesnake said in disgust, then advised wickedly. “Your Highness the Prince, kill Duke and Horsewoman and bring Li Tianlan back. Perhaps you should carefully consider the candidate for the princess.” “Dongcheng Rushi and the Border Control Corps are very nice, but aren’t Qin Weibai and Samsara the better choice?”

Prince Renwu’s eyes suddenly lit up.

Qin Weibai!

She was the G.o.ddess! Would she be his wife?

At that moment, Prince Renwu felt really proud of himself.

He knew that this could work. Perhaps they couldn’t figure out what did Li Tianlan mean to the Master of Samsara Palace, but they could confirm what did Li Tianlan mean to Qin Weibai.

Capturing Li Tianlan was extremely beneficial to the overall situation of East Island and the future of Prince Renwu.

In their plan, Li Tianlan was one of the key points of plotting against Samsara.

“What do you think?”

Being in favor of the idea, Prince Renwu actually stared at Li Tianlan, interested in his thought on this.

“I think you’re gonna die.”

Li Tianlan looked at Prince Renwu with pity, as if he was looking at a dead man.

Another group of East Island elites gathered over from all around. It was a big crowd of hundreds of people.

The sufficient elites, the absolute superiors.

Who could kill him?

Duke took a glance at the few superiors in front of him, then looked at the crowd around him. A smile appeared on his poker face.

“Do you have more men?”

He suddenly asked.

Prince Renwu laughed grimly. When he wanted to give another surprise to Duke, someone gave him a surprise.

“No.”

A clear word in Chinese rang out in the forest, echoing in the whole place.

Prince Renwu’s face froze, then he turned around abruptly.

In his sight, a white shadow was getting clearer and nearer in the dark.

Everyone was looking at the white shadow that was getting closer.

A man who was too pretty for others to guess his age slowly walked towards them, with a casual smile on his face, calm and careless.

Li Tianlan slightly raised his eyebrows. The second he lay eyes on him, Li Tianlan thought of a person.

Daybreak!

The two of them had the same dressing style, both had a pretty face, but their auras were completely different.

Daybreak’s momentum was abnormal, evil and cold, making everyone fear.

While this man in white gave off a sluggish vibe. He walked across the messy battlefield like he was having a vacation on the beach, in a casual and careless way.

In his sight, the man in white seemed to wave his hand.

In the whistling sound, a couple of ball-shaped objects flew over, landed and rolled for a short distance on the ground.

“Look, everyone is here. No one else is coming.”

Prince Renwu’s face suddenly turned pale.

The rest of his people changed their face, too.

Human heads!

Four human heads, four b.l.o.o.d.y human heads.

They were the four superiors of the Thunder-shocking Realm they hid in the forest; two of them came from Divine Wind Force, one of them came from the royalty, and one of them came from Night Spirit.

Four superiors of the Thunder-shocking Realm, plus their real experts, and many elites…

They all worked together to kill the two Super Masters of Samsara, so there was no reason to lose the battle.

But right now, the four superiors of the Thunder-shocking Realm were all beheaded before anyone could notice.

Prince Renwu felt chill all over his body. Then he suddenly turned around, looked at the man in white in front of him and said in a cold tone, “Who are you?!”

“Dawn.”

The man in white smiled and said, “I’m Dawn.”

Dawn and Daybreak.

Li Tianlan mumbled in his head. Ever since they found out about Li Baitian’s team, Duke had contacted the mysterious ally of Samsara, and the latter promised to offer help. Who could have thought they send such an ultimate superior for them?

The heads of four superiors of the Thunder-shocking Realm were still rolling on the ground. The whole night sky seemed to be exceptionally cold and cruel.

The atmosphere suddenly got intense.

Then a scream broke the silence.

“Kill!”

Next to Prince Renwu, Rattlesnake suddenly screamed, then rushed to Li Tianlan.

He was the most important target tonight.

Days of hunting was just warm-up for this moment.

Almost at the same time, Tian Yue and Bai Ye stood in front of Dawn.

While Holy Light rushed to Duke.

The forest was instantly lit up by the glaring blue light.

Rattlesnake’s figure had got in front of Li Tianlan.

The wild wind surged in the heavy rain.

Li Tianlan’s eyes focused. A shadow had appeared behind him, but before he could switch places with the shadow, the wild wind was howling all over the place.

The wind instantly blew away Li Tianlan’s shadow.

The wind also blew away the lightning around Rattlesnake’s whole body.

Rattlesnake’s face changed rapidly. Suddenly, she was afraid to step forward.

In her perception, it seemed that an irresistible force had locked her down from somewhere far away. The force was terrifying and overbearing, with a tendency to destroy everything.

The wind blew in silence.

There were weird whistling sounds all over the sky.

It seemed that countless swords were breaking through the sky in an aggressive and crazy way.

The sword intent!

The sword intent was strong and intense enough to cover the whole sky. There was no limit to it!

The almost invincible sword intent took shape hundreds of meters away, then it rushed over with thunderous momentum.

The whistling sounds in the sky were getting louder and louder.

Everywhere the sword intent pa.s.sed through, countless gra.s.slands and trees were all crushed. Big chunks of wood were surrounded with sword intent and flying in the air. They all flew straight to Rattlesnake.

A storm suddenly appeared in the forest and swept off everything it touched.

It made its way by shoving and crashing, and the sword intent was as fierce as a dragon.

Quick!

The grand and heavy sword intent was like a glimpse of the Aurora.

With the wind whistle still echoing, the sword intent had swept off the whole place along with big pieces of turf and trees hundreds of meters away.

The wild wind stopped.

The sword intent disappeared.

In silence, Rattlesnake was still standing there, and her pretty face was full of terror.

In everyone’s stare, this surviving member of Night Spirit let out an abrupt scream.

Immense sword intent seemed to explode in her body.

In an instant, her blood and fresh were blown up in the air.

Rattlesnake’s whole body got shattered into blood mist.
