Chapter 170 - Infinite Sky

Chapter 170 Infinite Sky

All my enemies must die.

Li Tianlan appreciated this famous remark of Dongcheng Wudi, the Zhongzhou God of Massacre, the most.

It was a declaration of General Dongcheng Wudi to the entire Dark World. But for Li Tianlan, it was also the most basic principle in his life.

The Dark World was the most naked yet purest world. In there, right and wrong, good and evil, all mixed together into the purest colors of blood and black. There was no right or wrong here, because the action was the priority.

Enemies deserved to die.

This was the simplest truth. One could only live after he killed the enemies. Even an idiot understood that.

Li Tianlan didn’t want to judge whether Jiang Shangyu was good or bad. To judge a person simply as good or bad was actually the most childish behavior in the Dark World. Fighting, killing, involvement, cooperation, compromise were all for the benefit and the desire to rise in the midst of the general situation. So what was good or bad?

Jiang Shangyu helped Li Tianlan.

Li Tianlan had to admit that for nearly a week, Jiang Shangyu’s professional stealth skills had saved him a lot of trouble. Their cooperative hunting was equally enjoyable.

Jiang Shangyu could even be a nice guy if they got along.

But he was the enemy.

Enemy.

That word was enough.

Jiang Shangyu wanted to kill him, so in the interest of his survival, he must die.

Li Tianlan didn’t care what means he had used, what they had experienced, or the animosity between them. He just wanted him to die.

That was the Dark World.

Brutal, pure, and dark.

The moment the muzzle of the Skyattack was pressed against Jiang Shangyu’s chest, there was only calm in Li Tianlan’s eyes.

He pulled the trigger.

The moment the bullet was fired, the vortex in the air swirled wildly. Li Tianlan watched as a great deal of blood fog burst from Jiang Shangyu’s body, and his body was blasted into the mountain forest a hundred meters away. He pursed his lips tightly, and his face was ghastly pale and indifferent.

The vortex ahead surged.

A dazzling silvery gleam flickered in front of Li Tianlan and then went straight down.

It seemed to be a drop of strange liquid which shone brightly for an instant and then became extremely dim. This drop of liquid fell down without being torn to pieces by the vortex of air in front of it. It went straight through the extremely distorted airflow, falling straight down to the ground.

Li Tianlan again consumed all his strength. He unconsciously reached out and took the silver drop of liquid.

The tight joints all over him relaxed completely this time and made crackling noises. He gasped and sat directly down on the ground.

The vortex of air that the Skyattack made gradually slowed down.

Li Tianlan breathed deeply and frowned slightly at the drop of liquid in his hand.

To be exact, it was not a drop of water, but rather something like a kind of semi-frozen liquid. With almost terrifying heat, it fell on his hand, like the magma.

The liquid slid slightly in Li Tianlan’s hand. Although it was liquid, its structure was not loose at all, so one could see how dense it was. This little drop, to put it bluntly, was like some certain melted special alloy or other substance.

“Alloy?”

Li Tianlan’s facial expression changed, and he suddenly looked up at the mountain forest ahead.

His body instinctively stood up and made a lunge, but after taking two steps, he wobbled and fell to the ground again.

In the mountain forest a hundred meters ahead, night rain mixed with grass and shot into the air at the same time. Large swaths of turf and earth were stirred up, cutting off his line of sight. Dimly, a figure quickly jumped up in the grass and leaves, rushing into the deep forest without even looking back.

A voice, weak and cold with a chilling chuckle, echoed through the forest. “Senior Brother Li, see you soon.”

Jiang Shangyu!

Li Tianlan clutched that drop of silver liquid in his hand. His expression was calm, but his deep eyes were increasingly indifferent.

He took a deep breath, feeling his condition. Though he clenched his fists, he gave up catching him at last.

He knew the power of the Skyattack very well. Developed by Dongcheng Clan, this terrifying killing device was powerful enough to threaten most of the experts at the Thunder-shocking Realm and even at the peak of the Thunder-shocking Realm at close range.

The so-called close range was about fifteen hundred meters.

The muzzle of the Skyattack, however, had been completely pressed against Jiang Shangyu’s chest. It was a zero range shot. But under such circumstances, Jiang Shangyu did not die!

“How could he not be dead?”

Li Tianlan lowered his head slightly and looked at the silver liquid in his hand. In less than a minute, the half-frozen liquid gradually solidified again. As he watched, the liquid, like a water droplet, vibrated slightly until it was once again a solid, bean-sized ball of metal.

Raindrops kept falling on Li Tianlan’s hands. At this moment, not knowing whether it was an illusion, he always felt that the previous dim metal ball in his hand seemed to be slightly brighter.

“What the hell is this?”

Li Tianlan frowned. There was no doubt that it belonged to Jiang Shangyu. There seemed to be an alloy hidden in his chest. Li Tianlan noticed it when the Skyattack was pressed against Jiang Shangyu’s chest, but he didn’t pay much attention to it. Given the power of the Skyattack, basically, no alloy could not be destroyed.

Apparently, though, the power of the Skyattack was almost entirely neutralized by the alloy. Most of Jiang Shangyu’s injuries were due to the fierce impact of the Skyattack.

And this drop of silver liquid must have been a drop scattered from the alloy on Jiang Shangyu’s breast.

Of course, it was just one drop that hadn’t been completely destroyed.

Li Tianlan pinched the small metal ball in his hand, and his face darkened.

“Boom! Boom! Boom!”

A cluster of roars broke out in the distance.

The roars came from a distance. There seemed to be some random firing of artillery. The whole forest was quivering. The leaves, which had lost all their moisture after the battle, drifted down. Li Tianlan was surprised and subconsciously turned back.

In the distance, at the point which was ambushed by hundreds of elites from East Island, there seemed to be an unexpectedly fierce battle. The cannon thundered and flames rushed up to the sky. Even at a great distance, Li Tianlan could vaguely feel the smoke of gunpowder and the hot waves of air rising in the distance.

He suddenly remembered what the man named Daybreak had said. “I planned to exterminate all the elites of East Island here. Slaughter arouses a lot of emotions, doesn’t it? But there are already three guys who are not weak working on it. I came ahead of time just in time to see this wonderful fight. You have made a good strike using the sword and a good shot. But you couldn’t kill Nanye Xiu even so, so I didn’t take military exploit from you. Well, besides, I saved your life.”

Three guys who were not weak.

Not weak.

That didn’t sound like much of a compliment, but such an evaluation came out from the mouth of Daybreak, an expert who was a half step to Invincible Realm, however.

Therefore, the three guys must be experts at the peak of the Thunder-shocking Realm.

With Nanye Xiu’s death, apparently, the garrison would soon be wiped out by the surprise attack of three experts at the peak of the Thunder-shocking Realm.

Li Tianlan forced himself to stand up, took the Skyattack, hesitated, and finally decided to leave.

He couldn’t say for sure who were attacking the elites of East Island that were guarding this garrison. But given his present state, he was not even qualified to go up to be a looker-on.

Leaving here first was his best option.

This time, however, he was alone again. The quiet, dormant life seemed to be passing again.

Without Jiang Shangyu, it was also a matter of careful consideration that how he should hunt the enemies in other garrisons alone when he was seriously wounded.

He took a deep breath, turned and walked on.

“Please wait.”

A person’s footsteps suddenly sounded in the forest. The man started speaking in English, but he quickly realized something and repeated it in slightly stilted Chinese.

Li Tianlan suddenly turned around and unconsciously grasped the Skyattack which had no bullet.

He saw a sharp, deep blue arc spread rapidly through the forest a hundred meters away. A shadow zipped along like walking on lightning. Any trees in front of him were pulverized by the spread of the arc. Almost in the blink of an eye, the figure appeared in front of him, wreathed in lightning.

He simply gave up the plan to leave.

There was a huge gap between the strength of experts at the peak of the Thunder-shocking Realm. The so-called peak was actually just a realm.

After one broke through the stabilization phase of the Thunder-shocking Realm, he reached the peak of this big realm.

But the difference in combat strength between those who had just reached the peak and those who were at the peak and about to break through was equally great.

Given his momentum, the present person’s strength definitely would not be lower than that of Nanye Xiu. Even if he was not a half step to the Invincible Realm, it was not far off. Given Li Tianlan’s present condition, he couldn’t get away from such a man.

He quietly stood in place, calmly looking at the figure that suddenly appeared in front of him.

This was a very handsome white western man, about thirty years old, with a tall and burly build, a handsome appearance, and blond hair.

He was wearing a white suit, which had been stained with much blood. His smile was gentle, but there was still a fierce sense of killing intent about him, and he looked graceful yet dangerous.

He looked at Li Tianlan’s face carefully.

Li Tianlan’s face was dirty after the battle, but it wasn’t completely covered by blood and dirt.

The white man smiled with relief, asking, “Are you Li Tianlan, Young Master Li?”

“Young Master Li?”

Li Tianlan had rarely heard this address before.

He squinted slightly, without letting go of his hand clutching the gun.

“Let me introduce myself. I’m Duke, the most loyal servant of Lady Qin Weibai.”

Duke looked at Li Tianlan with a smile on his face and sighed with emotion, “We finally found you, my god. You don’t know how we get by these days. If you had an accident in East Island, the boss would have been so angry that none of us servants would have survived.”

Duke!

Duke was second only to Saint, Military Counselor, and General among the 12 Super Masters of Samsara.

Li Tianlan’s eyes flickered.

He had never seen this Super Master of Samsara before, so he did not dare to be careless and just asked calmly, “Why should I believe you?”

“Isn’t my loyalty enough?”

Duke looked at Li Tianlan with surprise on his face, and his tone was serious.

“…”

Li Tianlan’s mouth twitched. At that moment, he could almost hear the sound of something falling to the ground. That was the integrity of the Super Master. It fell on the ground and broke into pieces.

“Tianlan, he’s indeed Duke. After you went missing, we took actions together. Ten hours ago, we reconnected with Bai Youming. We knew what you were doing tonight, so we came here immediately. Are you all right?”

A somewhat tired voice sounded, steady and dignified.

A tall, plump blonde woman came out of the darkness and appeared in front of Li Tianlan.

Horsewoman!

Li Tianlan finally breathed a sigh of relief and put down the Skyattack. He shook his head and replied, “I’m ok. It’s not a big problem.”

Horsewoman nodded, smiled, and was about to say something when Duke suddenly said, “Young Master Li, this…”

He pointed to the nearby battlefield, which was empty, desolate, and messy, and asked in a dignified voice, “Is this where you fought?”

“Yes, I encountered Nanye Xiu and Heavenly Calamity.”

Li Tianlan nodded.

“Heavenly Calamity?!”

The expressions of Duke and Horsewoman changed at the same time, and they unconsciously raised their voices.

Li Tianlan’s eyes narrowed slightly. Suddenly, he knew more about the so-called King of Gun named Heavenly Calamity.

He mentioned Nanye Xiu and Heavenly Calamity at the same time, but it was clear that the attention of Duke and Horsewoman was attracted by Heavenly Calamity.

“Yes, Heavenly Calamity.”

Li Tianlan nodded and continued, “But he escaped, while Nanye Xiu died.”

As he spoke, something came to his mind. His eyes narrowed as he asked, “By the way, do you know the code name Daybreak?”

“Daybreak?”

Duke was surprised, and unconsciously, he glanced at Horsewoman. Then he nodded. “I’ve only heard of him recently. He seems to be a faithful and trusted subordinate of someone and is no weaker than Saint. He is only a thread to the real Invincible Realm.”

“It’s a very mysterious force.”

Horsewoman chimed in, “Samsara seems to be working with them lately, and it’s Saint who is in charge of that.”

Mysterious…

In Li Tianlan’s impression, Samsara Palace seemed to be the most mysterious force in the Dark World.

And the force behind Daybreak…

“Is it a force so mysterious that it doesn’t even have a name?”

Saint… Hmm, Saint…

Li Tianlan’s eyes narrowed. He knew that Saint, the first Super Master of Samsara, was in East Island. If there was no accident, currently, Saint should be withXitian Mingzi and Dubian Xiangyuan and had been in contact with Xitian Financial Group.

“Then Xitian Financial Group…”

Li Tianlan asked unconsciously.

“It’s a bargaining chip.”

Duke spoke what he knew without reserve. Perhaps only them, the core Super Masters, knew what the identity of Qin Weibai’s man meant. “Xitian Financial Group is a bargaining chip for Samsara and the power behind Daybreak.”

Li Tianlan unconsciously whistled and laughed, saying, “Using a large consortium as a bargaining chip. How generous you are!”

The sound of artillery fire in the distance continued to ring out, but it was getting weaker.

Li Tianlan glanced in that direction and raised his eyebrows slightly, asking, “Who’s there?”

“That’s Flaming Fire. The three of us work together.”

Horsewoman replied. With a poker face, she stared at Duke, who was trying to say something.

Li Tianlan nodded and said, “Hmm, let’s go and see.”

Suddenly, Horsewoman looked around and said in a strange voice, “Tianlan, I heard that Jiang Shangyu is with you. Where is he?”

“He escaped.”

Li Tianlan sighed after two seconds of silence, “I gave him a shot. I thought I could kill him, but there was an accident.”

He held out his hand and handed Horsewoman a metal ball the size of a soybean. “Do any of you know what it is?”

Horsewoman took it subconsciously, frowning slightly as she watched the metal, which had completely solidified into a rounded ball.

“Gee?”

Duke suddenly made a small noise. He took the metal ball and observed it.

Li Tianlan looked at Duke with a calm expression.

But gradually, Duke’s face grew solemn. He glanced quickly at Li Tianlan, then lowered his head and held out a finger.

A tiny but bright arc appeared in his hand.

The arc became brighter and brighter, gradually becoming dazzling blue.

Duke held out his finger and slowly placed the arc on the metal ball in his palm.

The metal ball vibrated and seemed to soften under the impact of the arc. But then it returned to its original state again, only a little dimmer.

“This is…”

Duke’s pupils contracted slightly, and he gave Li Tianlan a complicated look.

“This is… a kind of metal.”

Duke hesitated and insincerely mouthed nonsense.

“To put it clearly.”

Li Tianlan squinted his eyes and spoke calmly. There was no curiosity or command in his voice, but there was something irresistible about it.

Duke smiled wryly, looked at Li Tianlan and hesitated. “I’m not sure what it is. I’m just guessing that this is a piece of metal that has lost some of its activity. But if there is no accident, the activity of the metal will gradually recover as time passes…”

He looked at Li Tianlan carefully.

Li Tianlan kept his countenance.

However, Horsewoman’s expression changed.

The metal could resist the attack from an expert at the peak of the Thunder-shocking Realm. Moreover, it just lost some of its activity after suffering the attack, and the activity could gradually be restored.

There seemed to be only one kind of such metal in the whole Dark World.

“Go on.”

Li Tianlan looked at the silver metal in Duke’s hand without changing his expression.

Duke glanced at Horsewoman and braced himself to say, “Young Master Li, do you know the 12 Murderous Weapons of the Dark World?”

Li Tianlan shot a strange glance at Duke, nodded, but did not speak.

“In fact…”

Duke took a deep breath and whispered, “Twenty years ago, there were thirteen murderous weapons in the Dark World, but then one of them shattered. Of the thirteen murderous weapons, only two are silver. One belongs to the Jiang family in South America and is named the Legend of Qin. And the other… is called Infinite Sky. It… it used to belong to Xuanyuantai of Kunlun… and the Li family.”

Li Tianlan’s countenance changed suddenly.

Duke looked at the metal ball in his hand and went on, “This little thing, if I’m right, is one of the fragments of Infinite Sky.”
