Big changes.
This time, the unabashed attack and killing, which was almost a show of force, came suddenly, and its momentum swept the entire mountain forest. The thunder light that had already surpassed the extreme realm of thunder suddenly lit up and then disappeared suddenly. But for the investigation team led by Li Tianlan, Say, this is a huge change from the inside out.
The murderous intent that was condensed to the extreme was perfectly concealed, suddenly erupted, and then suddenly disappeared. The whole process took only a few seconds. In the light, shadow and murderous intent that obscured their sight, each of them clearly felt the crisis.
External crisis.
There are also internal crises.
The mountain forest was quiet, the dazzling blue thunder light disappeared, and the murderous intention faded away like the tide. Only the power contained in that blow was still stirring in the mountain forest. It was not only the thunder realm master who was attacked by Dong Dao, His two companions and two patrols of more than 20 people dozens of meters away were all blown into countless pieces together with the surrounding trees by that shocking blow. The messy forest smelled of blood. Sparse starlight fell from the sky again, and everything around seemed to become noisy and quiet.
Youmeng and Muying had already stood on the left and right sides of Li Tianlan for the first time. They frowned and looked at the dagger in Dongcheng Rusu's hand. They said nothing, but their eyes gradually became cold.
This can even be said to be the most delicate moment in Li Tianlan's life. Murder and tenderness, crisis and doubt, all kinds of emotions are completely intertwined, and it is indescribably complicated.
His eyes shifted from Du Hanyin to Dongcheng Rusui, thoughtfully.
Dongcheng Ru looked confused. She looked at Li Tianlan quietly for a while, then turned her head slightly, and her eyes fell on Du Hanyin.
Du Hanyin's eyes were cold, and the palms that were holding the two swords tightly were exerting slight force. The sharp and delicate blades trembled slightly due to the huge force, and suddenly a soft and beautiful line was drawn on Dongcheng's snow-white and delicate neck. The bright red track.
But she finally knew that the person in front of her had a special status. Not only was she the most favored second lady in the Dongcheng family, but she was also a representative of the younger generation of the Zhongzhou wealthy group in the special operations system, and now she was Li Tianlan's fiancée. At this time, she really wanted to Killing her would definitely be a huge problem. She never took back the hand holding the knife, but looked at Li Tianlan.
"Don't you have anything to say?"
Li Tianlan's eyes became more and more deep and calm. In Du Hanyin's perception, Li Tianlan at this moment had almost turned into nothingness. His energy, energy, and even his breathing were completely restrained. In this state, he was clearly standing there, but it was as if he did not exist. , cannot be captured, cannot be controlled.
Only Dongcheng's feelings were completely different from others. Li Tianlan's eyes were calm and gentle, but there was a vague pressure as heavy as a mountain. She also couldn't lock Li Tianlan, but she could clearly detect the magnificent sword intention behind the nothingness. .
"She hurt me."
Dongcheng Rusu looked at Li Tianlan softly and said. There was no panic, no hatred, no vigilance, and no sadness. She stood in front of Li Tianlan without any defense. The distance between the two was so close that Dongcheng Rusu only needed to shake. With her arm, she could stab the dagger in her hand into Li Tianlan's abdomen.
As the youngest genius in Yaochi, Dongcheng Rusi is already a master at the peak of the Burning Fire Realm. At this distance, even You Meng and Mu Ying are not sure to stop him. The only thing they can count on is Du Hanyin's blade on Dongcheng Rusi's neck. Li Tianlan's own strength.
Li Tianlan took a deep look at Dongcheng Rusu, waved his hand and said to Du Hanyin: "Put down the knife."
"Little Lord."
Du Hanyin hesitated for a moment, but did not move her hands. She did not have that kind of loyalty to Li Tianlan in the traditional sense, at least not now, but their ultimate goals were completely the same, and Li Tianlan had become her only hope for revenge. , just based on this, Du Hanyin will fight to the death to protect Li Tianlan. The dagger in Dongcheng's hand is too dangerous now. If she puts down the knife, the consequences will be unpredictable.
Biting her lip, Du Hanyin whispered: "Young Master, she just wanted to kill you."
At that moment, Du Hanyin didn't actually see everything clearly in the chaotic light and shadow, but she instinctively sensed that something was wrong with Dongcheng Rusuo's actions. Under such circumstances, the other party's actions were completely unexplainable.
"lay down."
Li Tianlan's voice was not loud, but it was irresistible.
Du Hanyin glanced at Dongcheng Rusu coldly, and put down the blade in his hand with a look of reluctance.
"Why?"
Li Tianlan let the dagger in Dongcheng Rusuo's hand be placed at the most dangerous distance from him and asked lightly.
Does Dongcheng want to kill him
It's not that he can't accept this fact, but Li Tianlan simply can't believe it, because no matter how he thinks about it, he can't think of a reason why Dongcheng wants to kill him.
Although he has not had much contact with the Dongcheng family since he entered the world, he can clearly feel the Dongcheng family's kindness that makes him breathless. Moreover, the Li family was very kind to the Dongcheng family back then, and neither party had the slightest indifference. Regarding grudges, although Li Tianlan had doubts about the Dongcheng family before, those suspicions have basically dissipated now. Even if he and the Dongcheng family completely fall out, they will be strangers at worst, and now he is still the young man of Sigh City. City Lord, even if the Dongcheng family doesn't want to help him, they are not so stupid that they want to kill him. This is totally unreasonable.
As for Dongcheng Ru herself, even if she didn't want to fulfill the engagement, she probably wouldn't use such drastic measures that could plunge the Dongcheng family into an irreversible crisis.
Why on earth did she want to kill herself
Or, is she really going to kill herself
Is it a misunderstanding? Or malicious
"I didn't mean to kill you."
Dongcheng looked at Li Tianlan like this and spoke seriously. She had the most pure and flawless eyes. When she stared deeply at Li Tianlan, no impurities could be seen, only a very faint gentleness and obedience.
"I just want to stand with you when there is danger, no matter what the danger is."
"quibble!"
Du Hanyin stood next to Dongcheng Rusui, staring at the dagger in her hand and sneered.
Li Tianlan was silent.
"You do not trust me?"
Dongcheng's pure eyes seemed a little dim, but there was no emotion like grievance and they were as clear as before.
"Can you show me this dagger?"
Li Tianlan said suddenly.
Dongcheng Ru handed the dagger in his hand to Li Tianlan without hesitation, along with the scabbard.
Her movement made everyone including Li Tianlan relax, but soon he frowned again.
This can be said to be the most gorgeous dagger he has ever seen in his life. It is scarlet all over, but the top and bottom are covered with subtle and complicated golden patterns. The end of the handle and the scabbard are inlaid with two small but pleasing to the eye. Crystal, under the faint moonlight, the entire dagger seemed to be transparent, shining with exquisite light.
Li Tianlan looked over and over, and finally saw two neat and meticulous traditional Chinese characters at the end of the blade, close to the handle.
Lovesickness.
Is this the name of the knife
"Where did this dagger come from?"
Li Tianlan asked casually.
Dongcheng was stunned for a moment, lowered his head, and said calmly: "I picked it up."
Everyone could see that she didn't mean what she said, but Li Tianlan didn't say much. He just returned the dagger to him and said calmly: "Put it away."
"I really didn't want to kill you."
Dongcheng shook his head like this, not answering the lovesickness, but looked at Lin Xuanyuan and emphasized it again.
"Um."
Li Tianlan nodded indifferently. He did not feel the murderous intention just now, but if a truly skilled killer is close, it will be too late when he really feels the murderous intention. Just like the attack just now, the mysterious man exploded to the limit and was covered with blood. He retreated, and even concealed the perception of Youmeng and Muying before taking action. This was definitely the work of the top assassin in the dark world. Before he exploded, how could anyone present feel that something was wrong
Dongcheng's performance today is indeed a bit abnormal. Li Tianlan is not sure of anything, but now is obviously not the time to say anything more. Things have priorities. At least in this mountain forest, the five of them can no longer delay.
Li Tianlan glanced at the surrounding mountains and forests.
The so-called mountain forest has actually turned into a flat land. All the trees within tens of meters were shattered by the blow and turned into powder and fragments. Only a few meters in front was a piece of flesh and blood that proved what happened just now. What.
Li Tianlan's eyes flickered, and he made a decisive decision without hesitation: "Withdraw!"
"I will open the way in front. Youmeng is behind you."
Mu Ying immediately spoke, his expression a little gloomy, he looked at Li Tianlan, he smiled bitterly and said: "Young Master, I'm afraid we may be in big trouble this time."
"Um?"
Li Tianlan raised his eyebrows, but without any hesitation, he turned around and left.
He knew something was wrong this time from the very beginning of the attack. Although he still didn't know which Dongdao force was stationed in the village ahead, the mysterious figure who attacked the master of Dongdao was tantamount to having a conspiracy. They didn't know who the opponent was. Not to mention Li Tianlan, even You Meng and Mu Ying, both of whom were top assassins, didn't see clearly. The two of them couldn't compare to each other, but the top assassins always had their whole bodies exploded in an instant. But retreating, that moment was indeed too sudden. Youmeng and Muying were all focused on the masters of Dongdao. They were unprepared and were directly tricked by others.
Li Tianlan was not sure if Dong Chengru really wanted to kill him, but the mysterious assassin who suddenly appeared definitely had evil intentions. Such a huge momentum was completely deliberately done by the opponent. As long as the nearby Dongdao elites were not blind, who could not Do you understand that someone has invaded at this time
At this moment, let alone investigation, it would be good if the five of them escaped unscathed.
Several people reorganized their formation immediately. Li Tianlan took two steps and turned back subconsciously.
In his sight, Dong Cheng's Ruzui's body remained motionless, and his clear eyes stared at him blankly, seeming to have lost too much of their energy.
"Don't be stunned."
Li Tianlan turned around and grabbed her, saying in a calm tone: "Let's talk about it when we get back."
"I...I really didn't want to kill you."
Dongcheng lowered her head, and her voice finally had a hint of grievance.
Li Tianlan trembled inwardly, nodded, and said yes.
Dongcheng held Li Tianlan's hand tightly, saying he didn't want to let go.
But from an angle that no one could see, no one had ever noticed the look in the eyes of the second lady of the Dongcheng family.
It was still a pair of crystal clear eyes.
It's just that at this moment, Dongcheng's eyes were full of confusion and grievance, while the other eye was full of clarity and determination.
Messy and fast footsteps sounded from behind.
As expected, Dongdao reacted immediately and quickly mobilized manpower to start encirclement and outflanking.
No roar, no words.
Everyone rushed into the forest in silence, murderous intent filling every inch of the forest.
Li Tianlan and the five others quickly rushed to the exit of the mountain forest.
Du Ying walked in front of Li Tianlan, with a determined expression on his face, and said quickly: "Young Master, the Thunder Realm master who was killed just now belongs to the Gale Wind Sword Style. You Meng and I met him when we were in America. He was in the Gale Style Sword Style. His status is not low, and he actually went out to patrol in person. It is very likely that the force stationed here is not the Hayate Mitsurugi-ryu family. Young Master, if the situation goes bad for a while, we will try our best to delay the other party, and you and Miss Tocheng will leave first."
The us he was talking about were naturally not only him and Youmeng, but also Du Hanyin.
Du Hanyin looked calm and had no objection.
"Let's go together."
Li Tianlan said calmly with an expressionless face.
Hayate Sword Style, one of the Three Holy Lands on the East Island!
The force with the longest inheritance in the entire East Island.
In fact, among the three major martial arts holy places in the East Island, although Tianhai Wuji, the current top master of the East Island, founded the Wuji Palace, in the hearts of people in the dark world, the Hayate Sword Style is actually much more difficult to deal with than the Wuji Palace.
No matter how amazing Tianhai Wuji is, the development time of Wuji Palace is a little short. What Tianhai Wuji left behind in Wuji Palace is the sword technique and the way of Wuji. It is his own martial arts. Although it is strong, his foundation is insufficient. At least it's not perfect.
But the Hayate Sword Style is the oldest martial arts force in the East Island. The sword is the most respected. The Hayate Kendo is a top secret skill that has been refined by countless generations. After the destruction of the Li family in Zhongzhou, the Hayate Kendo has been recognized as the dark world. One of the most powerful and swift swordsmanship in the world, the five of them went deep into the mountains and forests before they were tricked and exposed before they could investigate. What they had to face next were the masters of the Hayate Sword Style and other forces. Encirclement and suppression.
In addition to considering themselves unlucky, You Meng and Du Ying also immediately prepared for the worst.
Li Tianlan took Dongcheng Rushi's hand and walked quickly.
In the darkness, his eyes were narrowed tightly, sharp and cold.
The timing of the mysterious assassin's appearance was so coincidental that it could almost be said that he knew their operation well.
Behind this attack, what was exposed was an obvious atmosphere of conspiracy.
He took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Speed up!"
"Now that you're here, do you still want to leave?!"
A soft voice sounded and spread throughout most of the forest in an instant.
Du Ying's figure suddenly stopped.
Li Tianlan's pupils also shrank slightly.
Behind them were endless pursuers, and directly in front of them were seven or eight hazy and powerful figures.
All in a thunderous realm!
There are interceptors in front and pursuers behind.
The entire mountain forest was vaguely like a dragnet, completely surrounding Li Tianlan and the five of them.
You can't escape even if you have wings!
