Chapter 414 The Long as Heaven and Earth of the Extermination
The change in the square was so abrupt.
When everyone thought that the result was certain and that Li Tianlan was going to die, the whole thing turned upside down. An infinite number of variables appeared in an instant.
Vast, thick ice still covered the square.
But suddenly, beneath the monument in the icy square was going up in flames.
The monument, tens of meters high, was almost uprooted, the fire burning from the bottom of the solemn tall stone pillar, the scorching heat dispelled the chill. A fire similar to the domain appeared in all eyes. The flames were roaring and leaping, and the heat was billowing. The ice made by tens of thousands of troops stopped suddenly and pressed on, but the speed seemed to slow as it met resistance.
The Gloomy h.e.l.l of the Thirty-meter Mortal World was still holding Li Tianlan’s sword intent back.
Jiang Qiannian kept his head down, his eyes bloodshot, fixed on the old man at the foot of the monument.
As the Second Master of the Jiang family of South America, Jiang Qiannian could be unfamiliar with no one, but he could never be unfamiliar with Zhongzhou State.
The Jiang family of South America was now the only superpower to be explicitly identified as a rival power by Zhongzhou State.
Even the Heroes’ Club which had invaded Zhongzhou State had never won such a distinction.
The Jiang family of South America rooted in South America, like a tree, with spreading branches and leaves, and now already towering.
From beginning to end, the feud between Zhongzhou State and the Jiang family of South America was almost all about the war.
The Jiang family of South America had been insisting that Zhongzhou State should have been theirs. After the establishment of Zhongzhou State, the Jiang family was dormant in Tai Island; When Tai Island returned to Zhongzhou State hundreds of years ago, the Jiang family took root in South America. In the long years, this preoccupation regarded as their hatred had been sustaining their development, making them the enemy of Zhongzhou State and causing unimaginable harm to Zhongzhou State.
Zhongzhou State also caused heavy losses to the Jiang family of South America.
For hundreds of years before that, while the w.a.n.g family of Beihai and the Li family were in full swing in Zhongzhou State, the Jiang family of South America was not allowed to enter Zhongzhou State.
After the collapse of the Li family and the rise of the Gu family, the Jiang family of South America began to tentatively establish a few strongholds in Zhongzhou State.
But that few strongholds were completely destroyed by Qin Weibai around the decisive battle in the Heaven Capital three years ago.
Yet the Jiang family of South America never gave up their plan to occupy Zhongzhou State.
So in the eyes of the Jiang family of South America, Zhongzhou State was their biggest enemy.
The Jiang family of South America knew his enemies well.
The Li family, who used to protect the stability of the whole country with their own family alone, was one of the most feared enemies in South America.
Even though the Li family had been gone for more than 20 years, Jiang Qiannian could not forget some of the family’s special characters.
The old man jerked the monument in the firelight.
He was already in the shadow of the monument.
Jiang Qiannian’s and Li Tianlan’s bodies both wobbled for a moment.
Jiang Qiannian raised his head sharply. The moment the domain of the Thirty-meter Mortal World became more condensed, the dull voice slowly sounded at the foot of the monument, “Second, meet an old friend, you don’t call me uncle?”
Jiang Qiannian’s body gave a lurch.
The domain in his body completely relaxed for a moment.
Li Tianlan’s sword intent that was gradually suppressed by the domain suddenly spread out, trying its best to seize the initiative.
Jiang Qiannian didn’t care about this.
His face suddenly reddened and even turned a p.r.o.nounced purplish black.
“Fire Man!”
He gritted his teeth hard and his hair stood on end. He did not know how long the silence lasted before he suddenly let out a fierce and violent cry and stamped his foot on the ground as if he had lost his reason.
The tall and magnificent monument caught fire.
Huge forces penetrated the top of the monument and the whole monument was crushed by Jiang Qiannian.
Stones flew about.
The Thirty-meter Mortal World briefly stayed aloft to keep Li Tianlan down.
Jiang Qiannian, on the other hand, seemed to have lost his mind and desperately rushed at the sudden appearance of Fire Man.
Fire Man had highly seniority in the Dark World.
Among Li Honghe’s sacred guards in those days, Fire Man was the youngest one, so that when he later went to the Border Control Corps as vice marshal to a.s.sist Li Kuangtu, everyone thought he became Li Kuangtu’s close guard.
But the only Highness he had followed was Li Honghe.
In terms of seniority, Li Kuangtu used to call him uncle.
In fact, Jiang Qiannian calling Fire Man uncle didn’t upset the pecking order.
However, the man was Fire Man.
Calling him uncle really involved a lot of bad memories and humiliations for Jiang Qiannian.
Jiang Qiannian’s body fell into the midair.
His eyes were red and gloomy, full of indelibly poison.
He would never forget something in his life.
More than 20 years ago, he and his elder brother Jiang Qiansong, who was not close to him by blood but felt like a brother, had broken through to the Peak of Thunder-shocking Realm one after the other. At that time, the two were full of pride, personally in charge of the action of the Jiang family of South America against Zhongzhou State in the Tiannan border.
They took more than 400 elites of the Jiang family of South America all the way from Tiannan border into a small village in Zhongzhou State border.
But in less than eight hours, the sacred guards of the Li family pounced directly on them.
There were two people.
Only two people.
That night, an almost cruel poison spread through the village in the wind; thunderbolts erupted filling the sky; hundreds of elites of the Jiang family of South America were killed by the man.
And he and Jiang Qiansong, two experts at the Peak of Thunder-shocking Realm, joined forces but they failed to defeat an expert at the Fire-flaming Realm.
Three punches.
Only three punches were thrown.
The battle was strange, short and brutal.
The deadly poison swirled in the wind.
The fire blazed through the night sky.
In the time of three punches, he and Jiang Qiansong were thoroughly crushed and defeated.
This was the Li family at its peak.
…
With just two sacred guards, Poison Physician and Fire Man, they destroyed the plans of the Jiang family of South America in the fastest time possible.
What Jiang Qiannian remembered most was not how strong the Li family was, but the insult, even the abuse, that the man code-named Fire Man brought to both of them after their failure.
What was wrong with them when they only ma.s.sacred the untouchables of a small village in Zhongzhou State?
But this b.a.s.t.a.r.d…
“Fire Man! I $% %… &…*”
“# $% & *”
There was no grace, no dignity. For a moment, Jiang Qiannian seemed completely insane. His face contorted, his mouth opened, and a mixture of cold and hot air rushed into his mouth, warping and mumbling his voice, but a mult.i.tude of voices, vicious as a shrew, burst through the air. In a matter of seconds, Fire Man’s closest family members had been scolded.
But Fire Man had no relatives.
He looked up and watched Jiang Qiannian coming down from the sky, getting closer and closer to him.
Then he punched.
Suddenly, the silent and wooden Fire Man’s momentum suddenly changed into a very sharp and fierce one.
The mighty force shattered the surrounding flying stones in one instant.
Fire Man’s bones kept shaking.
The blow hit the void, but it seemed to break through s.p.a.ce.
The whole s.p.a.ce suddenly twisted, completely broken.
The broken s.p.a.ce was not filled with silent black, and the heat wave filled with heaven and earth surged out of the broken s.p.a.ce in a moment.
The firelight!
An incomparably concentrated firelight dominated everyone’s view. The fire surged, spreading wildly in all directions, centered on Fire Man’s fist.
It seemed to be floating or flowing.
The firelight that filled heaven and earth beat and burned, resemble the real lava.
In an instant, the lava completely replaced the earth and the ice pressing toward the square.
The sky and the earth were full of burning flames and flowing lava.
In the blink of an eye, the whole domain, Sword Energy, and void, where the firelight pa.s.sed, were thoroughly agitated.
Heaven and earth were boiling!
The punch was so familiar, but so different.
Jiang Qiannian’s eyes grew dazed with rage and then cold.
…
Li Tianlan just took that punch.
It was the Dragon Fist · Azure Dragon Cannon!
It was like the Dragon Fist, but not quite. It was more like Fire Man’s own fist, his own martial art.
Jiang Qiannian awoke from his anger in a flash.
But the blow that shattered the s.p.a.ce had come with the fire filled with the sky.
Those who was able to be the Li family’s sacred guards were strong people.
And the person who had the Li family’s Highness personally to instruct was naturally the strong of the strong.
The Li family’s sacred guards had their own characteristics.
In those days, Li Honghe spent countless painstaking efforts to teach them the Li family’s unique skills, or to regulate the way of martial arts for them according to their own characteristics.
Fire Man was the least of his worries.
He had his own way and was not interested in the Li family’s 24 Moves of Sword.
He was too lazy to use the sword, so from beginning to end, he just learned the first three moves of the Dragon Fist from Li Honghe.
That was the basic three punches.
Then he incorporated his martial arts into these three blows.
So Fire Man only knew the three punches. In all fights, he used them over and over again.
Simple skills were often the least vulnerable.
Jiang Qiannian finally realized How horrifying Fire Man was.
The man who was able to suppress him and Jiang Qiansong by himself should have entered the Invincible Realm and the Divine List, and have been at the top of the list.
More than two decades in prison had completely ruined his path to the Invincible Realm.
…
But even if he was not at the Invincible Realm, but the Fire-flaming Realm, he was not easy to bully.
The fire was like a wild wolf, sweeping through Jiang Qiannian.
“Boom!”
Suddenly a terrible blast rang in the air.
The sword intent that tore the s.p.a.ce completely lost the imprisonment.
Li Tianlan disappeared in an instant.
But the next second, the macabre sword intent had gone from unreal to indescribably real.
The sword light like a dragon, he did not hesitate and directly stabbed the middle of his opponent’s back.
Jiang Qiannian’s heart completely sank.
Seeing Fire Man again really stirred his heart, but what he thought more was that Fire Man had been in the desert for so many years and that at his age, his strength must have gone backward. So as long as he killed him, he could concentrate on Li Tianlan.
But he underestimated Fire Man. He got Li Tianlan out again.
Neither of the two had a clear realm.
Fire Man was at the Fire-flaming Realm, but he had long surpa.s.sed it.
Li Tianlan had no realm.
But the strength of the two was similar.
He had to let go when he could not force his way.
A vast domain was expanding directly around Jiang Qiannian.
There was no wind in the air.
But the whole s.p.a.ce was filled with irresistible airflow.
s.p.a.ce kept pushing outward.
It was the Unrestrained Skill of the Thirty-meter Mortal World.
The whole s.p.a.ce that was filled with a hurricane seemed to be pushing Fire Man and Li Tianlan away.
Huangxue and Hanri, the two experts of a half step to Invincible Realm of the Rekvia family, came to the scene.
Behind them, more experts of Recchi City also rushed over.
Jiang Qiannian’s heart was not yet at rest. Compressed by the ice, the square became smaller and smaller square, and the sword intent and wind surged at the same time.
The ice blocked out the sun.
In the dim s.p.a.ce, the boundless sword shadows appeared in every corner of the square without any sign.
There was no gestation or preparation.
The moment the sword shadow sea formed, it suddenly broke out.
The sword shadows were like a curtain.
The sharp but erratic sword shadows were completely sweeping aimlessly.
Tens of thousands of sword shadows rushed to Huangxue and Hanri, the experts who caught up with the two from behind and the army charged the square.
…
…
The sword shadows were everywhere. The power of the strike was almost earth-shattering.
It was the momentum of the Peak of the Invincible Realm.
Huangxue’s and Hanri’s faces changed at the same time. Then without hesitation, the two turned to run.
Jiang Qiannian saw it all clearly.
He opened his mouth sharply.
“Come back, it’s all fak…”
Before he had finished speaking, a more sonorous voice suddenly swept across the battlefield.
“Borrowing Sword of Yin and Yang.”
Fire and ice mingled on the battlefield.
Ice belonged to Yin.
Fire belonged to Yang.
Borrowing Sword.
The sound of a long sword coming out of its scabbard rang in the battlefield, which was clear and crisp.
Fire Man let go of his control.
The endless fire and ice were raging and gathering wildly over Jiang Qiannian’s head.
Yin-yang sword intent circulated.
In the blink of an eye, two distinct lights appeared above Jiang Qiannian’s head.
It looked like the lights of the sun and the moon.
The lights were cool yet scorching.
At the same time, the sword curtain full of the sky, as powerful as the Peak of Invincible Realm, swept over Hanri and Huangxue, as well as the tens of thousands of troops in the square.
…
The mighty sword curtain, like a sudden snowfall, rushed past everyone.
Huangxue and Hanri who was in great despair stunned for a moment.
The two experts of a half step to the Invincible Realm looked at their bodies with doubts.
In the square, the mighty sword curtain had disappeared.
And the power of the strike that seemed to be compared to the strength of the Peak of Invincible Realm actually was far less than that of the Ice-condensing Realm.
The sword curtain swept all the way, but did not leave a wound in the two people.
All the terrifying momentum was illusions, or phantoms.
…
It was the Phantom Sword and its sword intent!
“d.a.m.n it!”
Hanri scolded loudly. He could not tell whether he was glad or angry. They looked at each other and tried to move forward.
This was the time when the mood of the two people fluctuated the most.
It was a perfect time.
Two shadows had silently appeared behind them.
There was no sound, no killing intent, no thunderbolts, no fire or wind.
In the gentle silence, two sharp knives quietly pierced the backs of the experts of a half step to Invincible Realm.
The pain was gone in a flash.
The darkness was immense.
The moment they sank into the eternal darkness, the two experts of a half step to Invincible Realm did not even know what had happened.
The wind and cloud mingled for a few seconds behind the two bodies before they fell into the void quietly.
Cool Breeze and Drifting Cloud appeared.
At the sight of the scene, darkness suddenly came over his eyes, and he nearly spat blood out of his throat.
…
After the false Phantom Sword curtain pa.s.sed, the real Phantom Sword directly appeared in the vicinity of Jiang Qiannian at the moment when the Yin-yang sword intent was formed.
Pushed out, Li Tianlan stood where he was in the distance.
In his sight, there was the sword curtain formed not long ago and the sun and moon formed by the Yin-yang sword intent.
The scene was familiar.
It was like w.a.n.g Tianzong’s majestic sword curtain and Lin Fengting’s the sun and the moon in the palm on the Lonely Mountain.
The scenes seemed to be similar, but the auras were far from the same.
Li Tianlan squinted his eyes, felt his inner touch, and held the Falling Stars in his hand.
Fire Man, also pushed out, began to charge.
The flames of terror blazed over him at all costs. s.p.a.ce was vaporized, and almost instantly a pseudo domain that was half a line or even a trace from the real one appeared around Fire Man.
Water-like lava boiled in the pseudo domain.
Yin-yang sword intent crazily rotated.
The sun and the moon shone together, and Yin and Yang merged.
The Phantom Sword intent was no longer the phantom, but the combination with the Yin-yang sword intent, condensed in a point, mercilessly stabbed in Jiang Qiannian’s domain.
There was a small breach in the domain.
It was then thoroughly fused by Fire Man’s pseudo domain.
Two shocking killing intents came out in different directions.
Cool Breeze and Drifting Cloud headed for Jiang Qiannian from different directions.
The threat of death really fell.
Jiang Qiannian’s face changed.
The two had a combat power of the Invincible Realm.
They were two sword masters at the Half-step Invincible Realm.
Two a.s.sa.s.sins of the Peak of Thunder-shocking Realm.
The situation changed. This was a real desperate situation.
The Beginning of Everything of the Thirty-meter Mortal World.
Without any reservations, Jiang Qiannian rose his domain to the top, even at the risk of his realm falling.
At the Beginning of Everything, there was quiet.
The Thirty-meter Mortal World spread out, resisted the fire, blocked the sun and moon, crushed the phantom, obliterated the killing intent gathered by wind and clouds.
In the silence, a sword light flashed far and near.
Li Tianlan held up the broken Falling Stars.
The silver sword light was silent, so small and so cold.
Everything in the world seemed to disappear in an instant.
There was no heaven and earth, no creation, no world, no fire or domain.
The world was a sword.
What was illusory was an illusion.
The real thing was the sword intent.
Only sword intent.
Sword light tore through the unreal, floating forward in the most real world.
It could not be regarded as being fast or slow.
Speed lost all meaning in the silence.
Jiang Qiannian’s eyes grew frightened.
Under the countless external forces, he could not stop the sword.
He really didn’t want to die.
He never thought he would die here.
He was the Second Master of the Jiang family of South America.
He was an expert in the Invincible Realm.
He would be on the Divine List, make the Jiang family of South America more brilliant; he would kill Li Tianlan, get Qin Weibai, even take over Zhongzhou State…
He had so much to do.
How could he die? How would he die?!
The sword light drifted to his chest in the silence.
The long sword gleamed.
Li Tianlan lunged forward with his sword.
But he was already gone.
At this moment, the only thing Jiang Qiannian could see was the sword intent which was so real that he even doubted the world.
Or just the tip of a sword.
This was Li Tianlan’s own kendo.
Reality and illusion.
It was like the Cutting the Sky, the Breaking the Sea or the Forever Silent World.
This move was called Shattering!
The Shattering Move tore up the domain around Jiang Qiannian, without any stagnation or slowness.
…
The sword moved forward.
“Poof!”
The sharp blade of the sword instantly pierced Jiang Qiannian’s heart.
The Sword Energy burst forth within him, breaking his heart, his insides, and all life.
Jiang Qiannian’s frightened eyes dimmed suddenly.
…
Because of that, the Second Master of the Jiang family of South America at this time actually appeared very calm.
The surrounding sword intent and domain completely disappeared.
Jiang Qiannian fought to keep his last breath of life.
He stood staggering in the air.
Li Tianlan frowned. Keenly aware that something was amiss, he shouted without hesitation, “Back up!”
“Back up?”
Jiang Qiannian’s weak voice sounded like thunder.
The corners of his mouth parted and he smiled, looking unwilling and bitter. “I will die, but you will die with me.”
His voice grew fainter and fainter, but in the last second of his life, his breath suddenly began to swell and grew.
“Die…”
There was a light beside Jiang Qiannian.
In the light there was his own domain, fire, thunderbolt, ice, and hurricane.
There were also phantoms, Yin and Yang, and Fire Man’s pseudo domain.
Everything swelled up in the tiny domain around him.
“With me…”
His voice fell.
All of Jiang Qiannian’s unique skills, and the full force that had just attacked his opponent, totally came out.
It was the full force of an Invincible Realm expert on the Holy List, who knew he must die.
It was also the final move of the Thirty-meter Mortal World.
It was the Long as Heaven and Earth of the Thirty-meter Mortal World.
“I live with the world.”
“If I die, so would heaven and earth.”
It broke out.
The power of terror in the absence of brewing burst forth in one instant.
The others didn’t have any time to react.
The surge of light, with an Invincible Realm expert’s final attack, spread almost instantly around the top ranks of the Snowdance Corps.
Yun Qinxi, the Phantom Sword Master, and Han Chongyang, the Yin and Yang Sword Master, stood in the front.
A fierce, majesty force came from behind and suddenly pulled back the two unprepared persons.
s.p.a.ce blurred slightly.
Li Tianlan took a step.
His move looked so natural and so casual.
In the dying light of heaven and earth, he had moved to the front of everyone with this step and blocked everything for others.
He was resolute to do this.
