---
In a sense, Li Tianlan, who came from the primeval forest on the border to the prosperous world outside, did not trust anyone at all.
This cannot be said to be due to his suspicious nature. It can only be said to be due to vigilant suspicion and full distrust of the entire world. Whether it is good intentions or malicious intentions, he has an almost instinctive wariness.
Except for the woman whose every move was filled with strong and inextricable affection, except for the woman who wanted to hand over her soul, and the little woman who gave him the most precious chastity, apart from her, Li Tianlan had no other feelings at all. I have never thought about trusting others without reservation.
When Jiang Shangyu first appeared, Li Tianlan's almost intuitive wariness told him that it was almost impossible for the two to become friends. For this young master from Central Continent who suddenly and strangely appeared next to him and saved him once in disguise, Li Tianlan was on guard from beginning to end.
Countless examples in the dark world have proven that what saves people may not always be good intentions. Many times, behind the ulterior motives, there is often the deadliest trap.
He and Jiang Shangyu had never met before, and it was completely impossible for Li Tianlan to believe that the other party risked his life to save him today out of so-called love for his compatriots.
Jiang Shangyu's answer seemed to prove the importance of staying vigilant. It had been several hours since he arrived at Changdao, and no one from Zhongzhou appeared to assist him except Jiang Shangyu. This shows that this siege was planned. Obviously, it is not as well known as Jiang Shangyu said. At least the official channels of Zhongzhou have not received relevant news yet.
Although Jiang Shangyu knew his whereabouts, he did not contact Jie, Bai Youming and others who were still in Dongdu. Li Tianlan would never think that the other party was also out of contact with Dongdu and deliberately concealed it. He seemed to be the only one. explain.
From this point of view, now that he is in contact with Jiang Shangyu, whether it is Jie, Gu Yunxia or Ye Fengcheng, this means that no one from the three major forces has received news.
In other words, after a brief contact between two people, even if one person has an accident or even dies, at least on the surface it seems to have nothing to do with the other person.
As for the essence behind the surface, I am in a foreign country, and here is a barren mountain and wilderness. Even if I want to check it out in Zhongzhou, I am a little powerless.
Li Tianlan stood quietly and looked at Jiang Shangyu.
Jiang Shangyu also looked at Li Tianlan thoughtfully.
The eyes of the two looked exactly the same, but the former's eyes were indifferent, while the latter's eyes were lifeless.
The two sides stared at each other for a full two minutes. No one spoke or moved. The delicate and sensitive atmosphere made everyone almost breathless.
It rained heavily at night.
See you in the picture!
"Senior Brother Li misunderstood what I meant."
After a long time, Jiang Shangyu narrowed his eyes slightly and laughed softly. His expression was sincere, but there was no trace of sincerity in the tone of his explanation: "The reason why I didn't get in touch with them is because I'm not sure this is really the place." You, so..."
He shrugged: "Now that we have found Senior Brother Li, the next step is to get in touch with our large forces in the Eastern Capital."
Li Tianlan nodded, but his body remained motionless.
Jiang Shangyu didn't move. The pouring rain soaked their bodies. Although Jiang Shangyu talked about contact, he didn't take any actual actions. He still looked thoughtful and said calmly: " Senior Brother Li seems to be seriously injured?"
"Yeah, it's serious."
Li Tianlan had no expression on his face and said dryly. His whole body seemed to be relaxed, but no one could find any flaws.
The rain on the river is terrible.
Li Tianlan could even clearly feel the almost unfathomable elusiveness of the opponent. As the young master in Zhongzhou now second only to Gu Hanshan and Wang Shengxiao, the 23-year-old Jiang Shangyu's real realm was only the Fire Realm, and he even had Not in the stable period.
Among the top ten masters of the younger generation, Dongcheng, who follows Jiang Shangyu, is at a higher level than Jiang Shangyu. This is enough to explain too many problems.
Jiang Shangyu, who has an exquisite body, does not have wind and thunder veins, and does not have the heart of a king. However, although the so-called physique is important, it is not necessarily the final factor that determines a person's achievements in many cases, such as his grandfather Li Honghe, and the current No. 1 on the God List. Yiwang Tianzong, and even Gu Xingyun and Samsara Palace Master, they don't even have the relatively weak Linglong Bones, but any invincible person with both wind and thunder veins stands in front of them and they don't dare to say anything harsh.
To a certain extent, Jiang Shangyu can barely be regarded as a person who does not have a top-level physique but whose combat power is beyond most people's imagination. Exquisite bones are rare, but compared with the twin veins of wind and thunder and the heart of the king, they are still a bit inferior. of.
But Li Tianlan was fearless.
The two of them are in the Burning Fire Realm, and even the small realm is roughly the same. Even if he is seriously injured now, he has nothing to fear when facing Jiang Shangyu.
In the pitch-black night, Jiang Shangyu's silent eyes gradually became bright and sharp, and the inexplicable light flickered gently in his eyes, faster and faster.
The night rain was heavy.
In the silence, Jiang Shangyu's increasingly bright and sharp eyes gradually became calm again, and all the light seemed to slowly begin to extinguish.
"I've always been a very cautious person."
In the darkness, Jiang Shangyu suddenly spoke. His tone was soft and calm, with a touch of self-deprecation: "This can even be said to be my biggest shortcoming. So since I was a child, I don't know how many times I have been frightened. Many times I also I feel that the other party is bluffing, but I don’t dare to take the risk. Others may take the risk when they are three points sure, but if I don’t have seven points sure, I would rather give up the opportunity. Senior Brother Li, do you think I am extreme? A sign of lack of confidence?”
"Caution and lack of confidence are two different things."
Li Tianlan looked at the confused young master in front of him and said seriously: "How confident are you now?"
"Originally I was seventy percent sure. But now I'm only half sure."
Jiang Shangyu took a deep breath in the darkness and asked in the same serious tone: "Such a good opportunity, I really don't want to miss it. Senior Brother Li, if I attack with all my strength, can I kill you?"
Frank, indifferent, without hiding or disdain to hide, this can be said to be truly straight to the point.
"cannot."
Li Tianlan also did not hesitate and replied calmly: "You will die."
He didn't speak much, but between the lines, he was filled with confidence and fierceness.
"oh?"
Jiang Shangyu smiled. He took a deep look at Li Tianlan and said slowly, "You don't seem to understand my specific combat capabilities."
"I don't need to know."
Li Tianlan said calmly: "I just need to understand my own fighting ability."
Jiang Shangyu's laughter stopped.
This sentence contains such firm confidence that even a fool can hear it.
Fearless
"That makes sense."
He nodded and suddenly said: "I have met Wang Shengxiao and Gu Hanshan, but in my feeling, Senior Brother Li should be the most arrogant. I am not flattering him. Wang Shengxiao and Gu Hanshan are not weak, but But compared with you, they all seem to have less of a crazy and cruel temperament, but you are different. I don’t know what you have endured before, but judging from tonight, you are very calm, but a calm person. A madman, a madman who can ignore everything."
"You are cruel to others, but you are also cruel to yourself. You don't like nonsense, you are vindictive, and it seems that you instinctively don't want to tolerate any disrespect from others. Isn't this a kind of arrogance and extreme pride? Senior Brother Li, what I said Are you right about this?"
Li Tianlan said nothing.
Jiang Shangyu's voice gradually became dangerous: "So, you have exposed a flaw. If a person like you grows up and reaches the top, he will definitely be called a generational hero. If you really have the strength, kill me here." If you do, you will not tolerate my murderous intention towards you. This time, you are really bluffing, right?"
In the darkness, he laughed happily: "Senior Brother Li, now I am 90% sure."
silence.
There was a brief, oppressive silence.
Jiang Shangyu squinted his eyes, murderous intent spreading, waiting for Li Tianlan's reaction.
quietly.
The darkness of the night remained unchanged, but Li Tianlan's figure seemed to suddenly disappear completely.
Darkness permeates everything.
Li Tianlan's figure seemed to have completely merged with the darkness. His body disappeared directly from Jiang Shangyu's sight and perception. Only a dangerous feeling like a tide exploded under the rain curtain, and the breath of death entangled and filled the darkness. , the hairs all over Jiang Shangyu stood up, and his heart sank, but he remained calm on the surface.
"Senior Brother Li, are you too sensitive?"
He chuckled, his tone getting softer.
Li Tianlan had almost completely turned into darkness. His voice rang out and spread in all directions: "Let's take action."
Take action
Can't lock, how to take action
The secret technique of the Invincible Chapter of God of War: Dark Night Walk!
The Night Walking Technique in the God of War Picture can be said to be the general outline of Xuanyuan Tai Shenfa's secret arts. Sighing City's Dao Jue Zhu Ming, Li Tianlan's Cheng Feng, and Jie's Shadow Word Technique can all be said to be evolved versions of the Night Walking Technique. Dark Night Walking and The Shadow Technique is similar. To some extent, it can be said to be an upgraded version of the Night Walking Technique. It is more harsh than the Night Walking Technique, but more unpredictable.
The dark night walk plus the shadow word tactic.
Among the younger generation in Central Continent, Li Tianlan is the undisputed number one in terms of pure physical skills.
Killing intent condensed in the air.
Li Tianlan hid in the darkness, and a thunderous strike was about to fall.
Jiang Shangyu sat down directly on the spot and said with a chuckle: "How about just treating it as a beautiful misunderstanding?"
He took out his mobile phone and waved it in the air: "Senior Brother Li, I can give you the mobile phone. You can contact the people you want to contact at any time."
The murderous intention gradually disappeared, but it was not dispersed, but hidden.
In the darkness, Li Tianlan's figure appeared behind Jiang Shangyu.
"I'm weird."
He said calmly: "You and I have never met, Senior Brother Jiang, can you tell me where I offended you and made you want to kill me?"
Jiang Shangyu was silent for a while, but this man was too honest. He either didn't say anything, but once he spoke, it gave people the impression that he was telling the truth: "You can understand that I am a teacher for a woman. My most beloved woman .”
The corner of Li Tianlan's mouth twitched, and his face looked strange: "The woman you love? Wei Bai?"
"Slightly white... slightly white..."
Jiang Shangyu muttered silently twice, seeming a little stunned. It took him a few seconds to react. He couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "Goddess Qin are you talking about? Among all the young people in Central Continent, you are probably the only one who can confidently call her Wei." Come on. I'm not talking about her. The goddess is so high above the world. Even if she is willing to come down to earth, it is not something that an ordinary person like me can hope for. At least I know that there are several invincible warriors who have just entered their peak period who are attracted to Goddess Qin. Or it’s someone like Wang Xiaoyao who’s so powerful and scary that I’m nothing compared to them.”
Not Qin Weibai
Li Tianlan frowned and said thoughtfully: "If that's the case, then it's Wang Yuetong?"
"I met that little princess once. Although I am vulgar, I am not likely to fall in love at first sight."
Jiang Shangyu shook his head again.
Not Qin Weibai, not Wang Yuetong.
These are the two women who have the closest relationship with Li Tianlan now. If not them, why would Jiang Shangyu want to kill him? He was at Deep Sea Academy...
No, Deep Sea Academy!
Li Tianlan opened his eyes subconsciously, and finally remembered a woman who was likely to have a close intersection with him, his fiancée: "How do you like Dongcheng?"
It rains on the river, so does the east city.
Among the top ten masters of the younger generation, one ranks second and the other ranks third. If the two of them were together, this might be a good story, right
"Junior sister Dongcheng, you are too arrogant and can't control it."
Jiang Shangyu sighed sadly, without much admiration in his tone. He looked at Li Tianlan, his eyes seemed a little strange: "It seems that we all thought wrong. We thought that the reason why you had an intersection with the Dongcheng family was because of Ning Qiancheng. Now it seems that it's Junior Sister Dongcheng? The engagement many years ago? Who are you? But I can't say for sure. Maybe the Dongcheng family got in touch with you through Ning Qiancheng, and after seeing your potential, they planned to betroth Junior Sister Dongcheng to you. For you? They certainly have good taste, but aren’t the Dongcheng family afraid that Goddess Qin will be angry and jealous? It seems that marriage contracts and the like are easier for people to accept. "
Li Tianlan, who realized that he had accidentally leaked something, was silent for a while and then said calmly: "None of these three people?"
"no."
"Who could that be? I have nothing to do with other women."
Jiang Shangyu smiled, took a deep look at Li Tianlan, and suddenly asked: "Do you know what Kunlun City is? Do you know what Phoenix Pavilion is?"
Kunlun City Li Tianlan had heard of it.
But the so-called Phoenix Pavilion...
"Phoenix Pavilion is a subordinate agency of Kunlun City?"
Li Tianlan suddenly asked.
Jiang Shangyu said no more, but silently handed the phone to Li Tianlan, looking a little uninterested.
Li Tianlan glanced at him, took the phone over, suppressed the doubts in his heart, and instinctively wanted to call Qin Weibai, but as soon as he pressed the familiar number, the longing in his heart surged into his heart like a flash flood.
It's half past four in the evening.
Over at Huating... it should be close to six o'clock in the morning.
He hesitated, then directly used Jiang Shangyu's mobile phone to find the communication software, logged in, and then sent a video communication directly.
Jiang Shangyu stood up gracefully and walked away.
The video was connected as soon as ever, as fast as if I had been waiting for the video for 24 hours.
That perfect face that always came to mind even when I was on the run appeared on the phone screen, as beautiful as poetry and painting.
"Tianlan, where are you now?"
As soon as the video stabilized, Qin Weibai's voice sounded directly, not urgently, but with a sense of relief, she smiled and said softly: "I heard that you and Jie lost their relationship. I contacted him, and I originally planned to fly directly to Dongdao in the afternoon, but now... just hope you're fine."
"fine."
Li Tianlan smiled, and the darkness covered his pale face. His tone was soft and calm: "I encountered some trouble in Ninghu. I was chased to Changdao. I killed more people and now I just escaped."
"Long Island?"
Qin Weibai whispered to himself and looked at Li Tianlan: "Is everything really okay?"
"fine."
Li Tianlan shook his head.
"The naive troops... shouldn't be so weak."
Li Tianlan looked helpless: "Are you trying to say that I am weak?"
"ah."
Qin Weibai gave a hearty smile and said, "That's not what I meant. Those people in the Cao Zhi Army are almost no longer human beings after being transformed. I heard that you met them and held Watanabe Aihara hostage. My dear, how did you do it?" Did you do it?”
This soft-spoken dear call made Li Tianlan feel relieved. He chuckled and said: "It's good luck, otherwise there would be some trouble. The grassroots troops seemed to need to replenish their energy. They had just woken up at that time and there was insufficient energy. I accidentally cut off the power. No matter how strong a naive army is, it is useless without energy. I originally wanted to carry it back to capture one, but some accidents happened and I couldn't do it. But Watanabe Aihara is here with me now, and Akiko Nishida, the daughter of the Nishida Foundation.”
"I know about the Westfield Consortium. The Saints have already gone to Dongdao to handle the Westfield Consortium's affairs."
Qin Weibai chuckled softly: "Watanabe Aihara, do you want to use it yourself? Are you planning to build a super army of your own?"
Li Tianlan nodded, not surprised that Qin Weibai knew him deeply.
"Understood."
Qin Weibai nodded: "Samsara currently has this technology, but it is not yet mature. I will put Watanabe Aihara into a base in Africa. This base will be separated from Samsara and belong to the two of us."
Li Tianlan hesitated slightly and said softly: "Your Highness the Palace Master..."
He knew Qin Weibai's status in the Samsara Palace, but doing so was somewhat suspected of being self-serving for public benefit.
"It's fine."
Qin Weibai said in a clear voice, "I'll just tell my sister later."
Li Tianlan nodded and looked at the date on his phone.
June 15th.
This is the day of the decisive battle between the Lord of Samsara Palace and the Lord of Kunlun City.
Even though he knew in advance that the battle would not be too dangerous, but the decisive battle was approaching, he couldn't help but ask one more question: "Is there no problem in today's battle?"
"no problem."
Qin Weibai said obediently: "Zhongzhou has already coordinated with the Reincarnation Palace. For Reincarnation, this battle is a declaration of strength, and Gu Xingyun is the best sparring partner."
Sparring partner...
Li Tianlan smiled bitterly and shook his head.
In the distance, a light of fire lit up, gradually approaching.
Jiang Shangyu walked over slowly.
Li Tianlan, who also realized that it was not suitable to stay here for a long time, moved slightly in his heart, and suddenly said: "Xiao Bai, there is something, help me check it out."
"Um... "
Qin Weibai's tone was a little sweet.
"Help me check what kind of organization Phoenix Pavilion is. If it's not easy to check, forget it."
Li Tianlan said slowly.
"Phoenix Pavilion?!"
Qin Weibai's expression suddenly changed, and she subconsciously raised her voice. A trace of extreme pain suddenly flashed in her eyes, and she pursed her pink lips tightly with a complicated expression: "How do you know the name of this organization?" of?"
"I...I'm with Jiang Shangyu now."
Li Tianlan smiled bitterly and said, "The mobile phone you are contacting now also belongs to him."
"Jiang Shangyu, Jiangshan's son?"
Qin Weibai said thoughtfully and nodded slightly. For the first time since the two met, she went against Li Tianlan's will, intentionally or unintentionally ignoring the sensitive word Phoenix Pavilion, and said seriously: "Tianlan, this person It's scary. You should pay more attention. At least according to my observation, although the current Jiang Shangyu does not have the reputation of a young genius, he is not much weaker than Gu Hanshan. If the two are in the same realm, he will definitely not Worse than Gu Hanshan.”
"I feel the same way, it's really scary."
Li Tianlan nodded: "However, he is still a genius with exquisite bones, and it is acceptable to be a bit defiant."
"Exquisite bones..."
Qin Weibai pondered slightly and said nothing.
"Okay, he's here. I'll change my cell phone and contact you again."
Jiang Shangyu's figure gradually approached, and Li Tianlan stood up and prepared to hang up the video.
On the screen, Qin Weibai hesitated to speak, and finally smiled softly and hummed.
"Finished?"
Jiang Shangyu came over and chuckled.
"It's over."
Li Tianlan nodded and hung up the video. He subconsciously wanted to log out of his account. The moment he was about to log out, a message from Qin Wei appeared directly on the screen.
Just five simple words.
It was unusual, but it made Li Tianlan's pupils shrink to the limit in an instant.
"Give me my phone back. We should go. Let's get out of here first."
Jiang Shangyu said casually.
Li Tianlan handed the phone to Jiang Shangyu, his face calm, but his inner emotions were fluctuating violently.
The five-word message from Qin Weibai was clear and straightforward, but it explained a fact extremely thoroughly.
"He has the heart of a king!"
