Chapter 168 Fallen City

There were no signs.

The feeling of deadly danger came so suddenly.

For Li Tianlan, he simply tried to kill a sniper on the perimeter without difficulty.

Once there was any serious confusion in the defense spot that Nanye Xiu guarded, then this point would become the best breakthrough point for Zhongzhou elites who broke into Changdao from this direction.

So, Nanye Xiu and the snipers here were the most important targets of Li Tianlan and Jiang Shangyu.

At his peak, the former was powerful enough to crush most of the elites that sneaked into East Island. And the power of the latter’s long-range shooting also could not be ignored.

If the ordinary elites lay in ambush in the jungle could only chase the warriors from Zhongzhou State in the face of them, then the snipers and Nanye Xiu would kill anyone from Zhongzhou State once they encountered. That was the advantage of power and firepower.

When Li Tianlan and Jiang Shangyu teamed up, they were almost unafraid of most of the Thunder-shocking Realm experts. But in the face of Nanye Xiu, they didn’t even have a chance to hurt him. That was why they were putting extra emphasis on operations of killing snipers.

Now on the way to retreat, Li Tianlan actually found an escaped enemy that they failed to find before they came here. So why didn’t he kill him?

Therefore, Li Tianlan didn’t think much about it. Facing the sniper’s escape, he acted with the fastest speed and threw a fatal strike.

For him, a man who was almost invincible in close combat, the sniper was a nonentity after he was near him.

The violent gunshots in the air swept through the mountain forest. Before the gunshots could die away, the flash of lightning had suddenly spread over the nearby mountain forest.

Within a radius of more than ten meters, more than a dozen trees turned directly into a pile of coke at the moment the lightning lit up. The sniper who had escaped had been covered in lightning. He gave a sneer, and a great mass of lightning around him formed a huge net in the air, directly spreading over Li Tianlan.

“Boom!”

In the clear yet eerie roar, a great mass of lightning crisscrossed, blurring everything around it and leaving only the glaring light behind!

The nonentity in Li Tianlan’s mind had become a dormant tiger in the blink of an eye. He could almost clearly smell death in the vast expanse of light.

In a hurry, he just took a step back instinctively. His whole body was stretched, and he was enveloped in a wall of ice nearly five meters thick. Untold firelight was brewing inside the ice wall. Ice and fire interweaved, emitting a cold and almost violent heat.

Lightning shot forward.

The wall of ice, more than five meters thick, broke completely in the first place. Flames roared out of the ice wall and were obliterated in the vast expanse of lightning. The broken ice flew out. Li Tianlan’s figure flickered slightly. At the moment when the lightning was about to envelop his body, his figure had appeared more than ten meters away on a piece of broken ice that had been blown off.

Desperate Chase, Shadow Formula, and Night Walking.

In terms of explosive power alone, the Li family’s unique skills may be slightly worse than the Wang family of Beihai’s. But when it came to agility and speed, the Li family’s unique skills truly outshone others. In this respect, neither the Wang family of Beihai nor Kunlun City was a match for it. Li Tianlan had learned all the body movements in the “Map of God of War”, so people who hadn’t seen him simply couldn’t imagine how swift he was.

The lightning went straight ahead, and countless flames and pieces of ice disappeared in the glare.

Disguised as an ordinary sniper, the Thunder-shocking Realm master gave a grim smile and stared at Li Tianlan more than ten meters away, sneering, “How many more times can you hide?”

He moved his body casually and strode forward.

Li Tianlan’s eyes narrowed tightly, and he did not have any emotional fluctuations. His eyes were fixed on the Thunder-shocking Realm master in front of him. He could not believe it, though he had already guessed it.

“Who are you?”

He paused for a while and then asked impassively.

“Nanye Xiu from Benzhou!”

The moment the lightning lit up again, the figure of Nanye Xiu striding forward suddenly accelerated and jumped. His figure rushed up more than ten meters away in the air, and like a big bird, he threw himself at Li Tianlan.

In the lightning, for the first time, Li Tianlan had time to observe the appearance of this Speical Warfare Magnate in East Island.

Nanye Xiu was not very tall, about 1.7 meters tall, which fitted the standard height of men in East Island, but he was very strong. His somewhat fierce face, pale in the lightning, had taken on an evil aspect. There was an almost irresistible force at his side, a glow of extreme brightness that kept coming forth.

Who would have thought that Nanye Xiu, one of the Special Warfare Magnates in East Island, would ambush a young man here, regardless of his status?

In such a close distance, even if Li Tianlan’s body skills were unparalleled, he had little hope of escape when Nanye Xiu’s strength was nearly two realms higher than his.

The distance of more than ten meters was shortened instantly.

Nanye Xiu’s body was rubbing against the air. The air was whizzing as it moved at extreme speed, and a great mass of lightning was exploding all over him.

The lightning spread rapidly across his arms.

The two sides were within five meters of each other.

Nanye Xiu’s arms shook, and all the lightning immediately gathered on his arms. The lightning burst forth, and the light stretched in his hands. With his arms waving, two flashes of sharp, dangerous lightning had hit at Li Tianlan’s head hard, although his body had not yet come close to Li Tianlan.

Fierce, swift, and vicious!

It all happened in a second.

Li Tianlan only had time to condense a shadow at a distance. Two parallel flashes of lightning had fallen from Nanye Xiu’s hands.

The light flashed away in the air, and the air was torn apart as it passed. Two flashes of lightning fell in a cross manner, and cold, terrible killing intent surged in the mountain forest. With a slight turn of his body, Li Tianlan had changed places with the shadow twenty meters away.

Nanye Xiu’s body was still in midair.

Li Tianlan raised his hand slightly.

Two flashes of lightning came crashing down through the illusory shadow.

In a split second.

Everything in the forest seemed eerily still for a moment.

The fallen leaves, the raindrops, the broken ice, and the fire stopped moving.

That lasted for less than half a second. Amid the intense roar, the lightning falling to the ground suddenly expanded. A great deal of lightning went up into the air, and there was also lightning spreading over the ground like water. All stillness was gone, like a picture torn to pieces by violence. The trees and earth within a radius of more than fifty meters vibrated wildly in the surge of lightning. The earth was blown up by broken trees and grass, and the glaring light blanketed everything nearby. Then came the most savage destruction.

Nanye Xiu was in the air, and his body was completely enveloped in lightning. Like a flash of lightning, he ran toward Li Tianlan without stopping.

The rain all over the sky had completely disappeared, leaving only lightning flying rampantly in the mountain forest.

Li Tianlan swapped positions with his shadow.

Then, he did that a second time.

A third time.

The three shadows were almost in a straight line behind Li Tianlan. Li Tianlan’s figure flickered back nearly a hundred meters in an instant, but he still could not get out of Nanye Xiu’s attack range.

His strength was nearly two big realms lower than Nanye Xiu’s, so the gap in strength was enough to make up for the deficiency in body skills. Nanye Xiu’s body had become almost a ball of lightning in midair. As the ball of lightning passed, a dense burst of sound could be heard continuously. As the two men advanced and retreated, they almost immediately carved out a 100-meter-long smooth road in the mountain forest.

Li Tianlan stopped abruptly.

In the face of an almost irresistible force.

He stopped.

A wall of ice, more than ten meters thick, sprang up around him.

The moment the wall of ice appeared, in the lightning, Nanye Xiu vaguely saw that the silver Human Emperor changed into a sword. The young Heavenly Son from Zhongzhou State grasped his sword hilt and raised his eyebrows slightly.

He still looked battered and exhausted, but in the lightning, his eyes suddenly turned sharp. It was a kind of unspeakable temperament, faintly showing a kind of arrogance and potency that he disdained for everything in the world.

The ice wall was completely formed.

The lines of sight of both sides were separated.

Between heaven and earth, a kind of infinite and crazy sword intent suddenly rose in the lightning.

Nanye Xiu sneered. Although he was more powerful than Li Tianlan, the latter’s body skills were absolutely amazing. If he chased, and Li Tianlan escaped, Li Tianlan probably could live a long time. However, if Li Tianlan stopped moving, he would end up miserably.

The lightning that enveloped Nanye Xiu within tens of meters kept moving forward, and he roared. With him at the center, the lightning condensed directly into a huge blade of light.

The blade hung over his head.

It shone brightly like a pale blue moon.

Facing a wall of ice more than ten meters thick, Nanye Xiu, with a cold expression, jerked one of his hands downward. Like a cold moon, carrying infinite lightning, the blade cut through the air and hit hard the thick ice wall in front of it.

“Bang!”

For a moment, the whole forest seemed to shake violently. Like something touchable, the lightning that was condensed to the extreme cut through the wall of ice without any hindrance, and the broken ice flew high into the sky. Almost at the same time, Li Tianlan’s sharp, crazy sound rang out. “Stop!”

The air was violently twisted as it was swept by the lightning, and even the pieces of ice that flew into the air stopped. Only the blade of lightning moved forward, at a slightly slower speed though.

A moment was enough for Li Tianlan.

Under the sharp blade of lightning, Li Tianlan took a step forward, and his body suddenly became unreal.

The blade of lightning swept across Li Tianlan’s shadow, while his real body holding the sword appeared in front of Nanye Xiu.

There were two other shadows just like him appeared together with his real body!

Currently, Li Tianlan was unable to use the Shadow Formula as deftly as Tribulation did. He could only gather three shadows now. To be exact, the third shadow was only capable of changing positions with him, because it had no attack power at all. In the face of a well-matched adversary, he was able to play tricks on the other side with abandon, owing to three shadows and his real body. But when facing a much more powerful expert such as Nanye Xiu, he could only leave the shadow which was used for swapping positions in the distance. That was the safest thing to do.

One step!

He walked up to Nanye Xiu by crossing a distance of almost ten meters with one step.

Buddhist Incantation of Nine Words, the Teleport Formula.

In Tribulation’s Buddhist Incantation of Nine Words, Shadow Formula related to the swiftest body movement, Crack Formula was about the strongest outbreak of power, and Teleport Formula emphasised the fastest speed.

The evaporated rain in the night fell again, softly beating the forest. On the clearing made by the lightning, Li Tianlan stood there with unprecedentedly focused and sharp eyes.

The moment the ice broke, his strength began to rise at an astonishing rate.

The stabilization phase of the Fire-flaming Realm.

The peak of the Fire-flaming Realm.

His realms continued to rise.

While Nanye Xiu’s pupils instinctively contracted, he saw Li Tianlan raised the sword and stabbed it straight into the sky!

“Boom!”

The dull roar in the air died away.

The rain that fell around them was directly shattered by the raging Sword Energy.

The two shadows followed Li Tianlan and raised their swords at the same time.

Li Tianlan’s face was ghastly pale. His rising breath fell almost instantly to its lowest point. But the bright sword light pierced the night and shone fiercely and furiously in the dark forest.

The majestic and boundless sword intent emerged out of thin air, as if it was going to cover the sky. For a moment, the rain above the sky rolled up into the air instead of falling.

The killing intent in the forest disappeared.

Only the sword light fell from the sky with the boundless, ethereal sword intent.

The temperature in the air became extremely high. There seemed to be a yellow ray in the darkness, and then it disappeared. In this boundless place, the sword light above was shining, and the sky within a radius of nearly a hundred meters seemed to be shining with a kind of extremely dazzling yet blurred colour.

The sword intent was like fire, carrying the momentum like thunder!

Li Tianlan’s breath was weak at this second, but he looked magnificent as he held the sword seriously, with a demeanour that overshadowed everyone.

The demeanour only belonged to swordsmen!

There was only sword light above him.

Li Tianlan, however, became the sword himself.

The most powerful sword!

The power of this strike had been completely beyond the Fire-flaming Realm, but it was slightly weaker than the Thunder-shocking Realm.

Li Tianlan forcibly restored his strength beyond the Fire-flaming Realm without touching the Thunder-shocking Realm. This was his most powerful sword move without damaging his foundation.

All the power.

All the sword intent.

And… All the potential!

His cold voice filled the air, weak, but superior and majestic.

“Crack!”

He held the long sword in his hand tightly and struck it hard at Nanye Xiu without any hesitation.

The two shadows around him also made an act of chopping down at the same time.
