In the sultry and oppressive night, Dongcheng began to return, but Li Tianlan was moving forward.
There is no choice but to move forward.
The fierce fighting had lasted all day and night, and Li Tianlan himself couldn't tell exactly when he separated from the others.
The villages in the No. 3 defense area were simply a hornet's nest. It wasn't until the actual encirclement and suppression began that Li Tianlan realized that there were more than just Hayate Miken-ryu's family stationed there.
After Beidou and Feng Gui died, they broke out almost immediately, but before they could rush out of the forest, Dongdao elites from all directions had already gathered around them. Elites from the village behind the forest were also dispatched in large numbers, at least a thousand people. Like a torrent, they were drowned in an instant.
Only killing remains.
Only fighting remains.
There are enemies on all sides and murderous intentions.
Ice and fire roared, thunder flashed, air surged, and gunshots roared.
Li Tianlan could only attack with all his strength in the planned direction. From night to day, until the moonlight dissipated and the sun began to rise, Li Tianlan realized that he had lost contact with the people around him.
Dusk fell.
Youmeng disappeared.
Dongcheng disappeared like this.
Du Hanyin also disappeared.
And after he broke out of one encirclement, he seemed to have entered another one. The way back had been completely blocked. Under the almost carpet-like search by Dongdao elites, Li Tianlan could only escape in the opposite direction.
one day one Night.
In the quiet time at the end of the fourth day, Li Tianlan, covered in blood, was silently treating his wounds.
Some of the large amount of blood has dried up on his body, and some is continuing to flow. Some of the blood belongs to him, but most of it belongs to others. Looking from a distance, Li Tianlan is completely a bloody man now.
He still had his broken shirt on one side, and on his back, there was a knife wound that was deep enough to show the bone, as if it had been carved directly there, and blood was flowing.
The sword wound was nearly thirty centimeters long, and a large amount of blood poured out from the wound. Li Tianlan casually pulled off a piece of bark and bit it in his mouth, feeling shocked all over.
A layer of fire burned directly on his back, and the condensed fire spread along his back and quickly covered the entire wound.
"snort!"
Li Tianlan bit the bark of the tree tightly. Under the severe pain, his face suddenly became distorted and pale, but his eyes were full of cold and chilling tranquility.
The wounds and large pieces of flesh and blood were burned by the fire, and they were barely healed together. Li Tianlan's expression was cold, and the fire started again at his fingertips. The small and shallow wounds on his chest, abdomen, arms, and thighs were all burned little by little by himself. , cold sweat continued to flow down his forehead, Li Tianlan's face seemed to be twisted with a burnt smell all over his body, but a crazy chill gradually appeared in his quiet eyes.
The flames wiped the last wound on his body. Li Tianlan, who was almost exhausted, moved his body, leaned against the tree behind him, took out the almost bitten piece of bark from his mouth, and ate a large piece without looking at it. .
It only takes one day.
But Li Tianlan was completely different.
For nearly a day and a night, Dongdao clearly regarded him as the main encirclement and suppression target. After intentionally or unintentionally blocking his retreat route, the lineup chasing him was equally luxurious and suffocating.
At first, there were hundreds of people chasing him non-stop, and then two Thunder Realm masters were added to the chasing team.
In less than six hours, the number of Thunder Realm masters went from two to four.
Then the half-step invincible master came in person.
The mighty pursuit of hundreds of people finally dispersed, and finally turned into a pursuit team led by two half-step invincible masters, five masters of the Thunder Realm, and nearly twenty masters of the Burning Fire Realm. This lineup was just for To hunt down a young man, Dongdao has attached great importance to him.
Li Tianlan himself didn't know how many people he had killed. One after another, the elites of the Air Control Realm and the Ice Realm died under the Human Emperor. He rushed from the forest to the road, then entered the mountainous area, and finally entered the mountain forest again, escaping all the way and getting closer. At the edge of the battlefield, the people who were chasing him were getting stronger and stronger. This was the most brutal battle he had ever encountered since entering the East Island. He only remembered that he killed a Thunder Realm master on the other side during his escape. , and the hideous and terrifying wound on his back was left at that time.
The half-step invincible master personally took action, and with that sword, the sword light spread across the mountains and forests, almost splitting his body in half.
The crazy fighting and fighting allowed him to release his suppressed killing and fighting intentions uncontrollably. In this state, Li Tianlan's every move carried an unconcealable edge and danger, and his high concentration of will made him uncontrollable. His vigilance and fighting instincts were increased to the limit. In the process of escaping and fighting, his speed became faster and faster, and his strikes became more and more fierce. Blood flew freely and splashed amidst the screams. He seemed to have gradually lost all emotions other than killing, as if he was awakening and transforming. His will kept breaking the limits, and the King's heart, which was not perfect at first, became more and more perfect.
Xuanyuan Terrace’s secret art focuses on the state of mind.
The twenty-four swords, especially the most powerful ones, require more willpower than anything else. In a near-desperate environment, Li Tianlan saw an opportunity for him to become stronger, so although he was on the run, he did not retreat.
Otherwise, during this pursuit, Li Tianlan saw at least two opportunities for him to rush out. Although he was not absolutely sure, it could at least bring him closer to the elites of Central Continent.
But he kept going deep behind enemy lines and quietly made an arc near the edge of the battlefield.
Put him to death.
As for whether there will be a bright future, he has never thought about it. In the constant pursuit and fighting, the desire for powerful strength has become stronger than others and turned into obsession. He pursues more powerful power almost instinctively. A more perfect state of mind, this kind of persistence, even transcends life and death.
Vaguely, he felt depressed, or suppressed.
It seems that there is an unknown, or forgotten force that is constantly suppressing his increasingly perfect martial arts will, like a prison, like a shackle.
Li Tianlan didn't know what it was, but as his will and concentration continued to surpass the peak, in the fight to the death and fighting, the shackles that he had ignored and forgotten began to disappear little by little, completely shattered, and seemed to be close before his eyes. .
Li Tianlan silently chewed the bark in his hand, sucked the bitter juice of the bark without any supplies, and swallowed the chewed pieces of wood alive. In a daze, he seemed to have returned to many years ago. Back to the time when I would rather chew tree bark than drink the smelly gruel.
The hard and tough bark pierced the corners of his mouth. Li Tianlan's eyes were calm, but the corners of his bloodshot mouth were smiling ferociously.
The weak aura on his body continued to rise.
Silent but hysterical madness brewed and roared from him with a sharp edge, and finally became violent.
At this moment, Li Tianlan was like a scorching sun.
But it radiates dark light.
... ...
"This bastard is too fast!"
In the mountain forest one kilometer away from Li Tianlan, a Thunder Realm master who was responsible for chasing Li Tianlan was gnashing his teeth and cursing, but his footsteps did not stop at all.
A day and night pursuit is not easy for those who escape, but it is also a kind of torture for those who pursue. Not to mention other people, except for the two half-step invincible masters in the pursuit team, their faces are normal. Even several Thunder Realm masters, including two Thunder Realm peak masters, looked pale from exhaustion and poured sugary liquid into their mouths as they walked.
The pursuit team had become scattered six hours ago.
At the beginning, two half-step invincible masters led the team, with five thunder masters in the middle and eighteen fire masters behind them.
But now, only four or five of the eighteen Burning Fire Realm masters can barely keep up. The others have fallen far behind, the formation has been scattered, and the chasing team has become a real team. If If it hadn't been for the direct and serious injury to Li Tianlan with the knife not long ago, I'm afraid the confidence of most members of the pursuit team would have collapsed.
"There are two idioms in Central Continent: the end of a powerful crossbow and the return of light. He can't hold on much longer. Inform the nearby elites to outflank him from four directions. Let's take our time. Don't rush him. Try to capture him alive."
A man walking at the front slowly spoke. He was extremely short in stature and had a baby face. At first glance, he looked like a child of fourteen or fifteen years old, but this so-called 'child' had an extremely strong aura at this time. The fierce, fierce aura made everyone subconsciously distance themselves from him.
He walked alone at the front, like a blade of light in the darkness.
Sharp and dazzling.
Code name doll.
One of the deputy commanders of the Kamikaze Force, this is a veteran master who has been famous for nearly twenty years, and is also one of Miyamoto Shinichi's most trusted confidants. With his strength, he is naturally qualified to stay in the temporary headquarters in the mountains, but Miyamoto Shinichi put him outside, obviously wanting him to be the most powerful executor.
"That little bastard... don't fall into my hands!"
A Thunder Realm master muttered to himself, his eyes vicious and angry.
"What if it falls into your hands?"
The doll smiled, and there were even two deep dimples on the baby's face that could conceal her true age, which actually looked a bit cute.
The Thunder Realm master who spoke first paused and remained silent.
He is also from the Kamikaze Force, and has a high status in the Kamikaze Force. From his position, he can naturally understand some secrets and know the importance of Li Tianlan to Dongdao.
This person cannot be killed if he can be captured alive. The best way to deal with it is to win over and surrender.
"It is said that His Majesty has already announced that if Li Tianlan is captured, as long as he is willing to surrender, the two unmarried princes of the royal family will be free to choose from him, and they can even stay with him. This is really..."
Another half-step invincible master said thoughtfully and shook his head.
The other people's bodies trembled at the same time.
The emperor now has three daughters. The eldest daughter, Prince Yukiko, is already married, while the other two princes are not yet married. They are a pair of beauties who are famous all over the world. I don’t know how many people are watching. In order to win over, the emperor Li Tianlan was willing to let the two princes stay with him, which showed the importance of Li Tianlan, but it also showed the current embarrassment of Dongdao.
"It's hilarious."
The doll shook his head and commented knowingly.
Another half-step invincible master codenamed Thousand Faces smiled and didn’t say much. This was a burly man who looked extremely heroic. He was majestic, but at this time he was willing to stand behind the doll. The strength of the two was different. It's obvious.
Just as the baby was about to continue talking, the phone suddenly rang.
He frowned and answered the phone. His face changed drastically after just two sentences.
The call was hastily hung up.
His baby face quickly turned somber and silent.
"how?"
Qian Mian frowned and asked.
"Half an hour ago, Qinglong Gongsunqi raided our No. 6 stronghold, and all eighty elite troops were wiped out! In addition, the Polar Alliance and the Heroes Association joined the war."
The doll's tone was cold.
"Gongsun Qi?"
Qian Mian was suddenly startled. In the entire dark world, Zhongzhou Qinglong Gongsun Qi had a vague tendency to be the first person in the invincible realm. Such a character should have been the key force to change the situation of the battle at the moment of the decisive battle, but at this time, he was in the decisive battle. They couldn't wait to take action when it first broke out. It was obvious that their determination to rescue Li Tianlan was just as firm. It was Gongsun Qi half an hour ago, and now maybe Jie, Cang Qiong and others have also started to take action.
Stronghold No. 6 is not far from the village where Li Tianlan was first ambushed. That is not a stronghold. There are thousands of Dongdao's special operations elite stationed near that village!
Qian Mian's expression also changed in an instant.
In order to rescue Li Tianlan, Zhongzhou actually planned to rush directly through the area where they were stationed
Do they regard now as the time for the final decisive battle
This was definitely an accident.
But there is more than one surprise. The Polar Alliance and heroes will participate in the war, which is also a huge variable.
Qian Mian's face was uncertain, and he gritted his teeth and said, "What should I do?"
"Let's go back and provide support!"
The doll's expression was ferocious. There was nothing to hesitate about. They came to capture Li Tianlan in order to win the decisive battle on Changdao. Now Zhongzhou is attacking their location in a large scale. Even people like Gongsun Qi have taken action personally. If they don't Going back to support, the consequences are really unpredictable, and there are also the Heroes Association and the Polar Alliance watching eagerly. It is impossible for them to help Dongdao, and adding insult to injury is the most likely possibility.
Both he and Qian Mian are half-invincible, which is enough power to change the situation of the battle. Being dragged here by Li Tianlan at this time is really not worth the gain.
And the current Li Tianlan is not worthy of them doing this.
"Ice Bird, Black Shield, you continue to chase Li Tianlan. Ice Bird takes over the command of the nearby area and orders nearby elites to surround him. The others follow me."
The doll said simply and neatly, his eyes looked unwillingly into the depths of the jungle, and sneered with some regret: "Don't worry, he was hit by my knife and won't last long. Now he definitely does not belong to any of you. The opponent, after catching him, immediately bring him back to the headquarters."
"Icebird understands!"
Among the five thunder realm masters, a beautiful and cold-looking woman took a step forward and spoke in a deep voice.
She and Heidun are both masters at the peak of the Thunder Realm. Either one of them is enough to make Li Tianlan go all out in his heyday. Now that Li Tianlan is seriously injured, and they have many elites nearby to cooperate, it is easy to catch Li Tianlan.
A hint of unwillingness flashed through Wawa's eyes again, but he didn't dare to delay any longer, so he rushed back with Qianmian and the other three Thunder Realm masters.
Because he was so excited, two blushes appeared on Bingniao's cool and beautiful face, as delicate as a flower.
She naturally knew what the baby was unwilling to do. They chased Li Tianlan for a day and a night, and none of them gave up. It was not because Li Tianlan deserved so much power to pursue, but simply because the credit for catching Li Tianlan was too great.
But now with the departure of Wawa and Qianmian, the credit will fall on her.
The doll and the Thousand Faces figure disappeared at the end of sight.
Bingniao took a deep breath, turned around suddenly, glanced at the silent Heidun, and said without hesitation: "Charge!"
Less than a few dozen meters behind Ice Bird and Black Shield, the void fluctuated imperceptibly.
"What an idiot."
The only invincible killer in the dark world sneered evilly, then restrained all his aura and followed the two of them calmly.
As an invincible master, he can be said to be one of the first people to discover Li Tianlan's traces. The closest distance between the two was even twenty meters away.
But Xie never took action.
He really didn't lie to Miyamoto Shinichi. He did feel a vague danger in Li Tianlan, a young prodigy with low strength. This feeling was very strange, but it made him never dare to act rashly. .
Now Li Tianlan is seriously injured.
It would be better to let the two idiots in front test the water first.
Xie's figure completely merged into the void. He was holding an emerald disk similar to a ring in his hand, getting closer and closer to Li Tianlan.
Under the trees a few hundred meters ahead.
After swallowing the last piece of bark, Li Tianlan's calm eyes suddenly lit up.
Two footsteps were getting closer and closer to him.
Only two people.
In the darkness, he held onto the Human Emperor and stood up calmly. Crazy killing intent instantly surged around him.
When his will was absolutely concentrated, he once again felt the unknown shackles, and also saw the opportunity.
Raise your arms and raise your gun.
Facing the direction where the pursuers were charging, Li Tianlan took a step forward.
It's a small step, but a big step.
As this step landed, Li Tianlan's aura suddenly surged, from the stable stage of the Ice Condensation Realm to its peak.
The fourth day is coming to an end.
The shackles of will will be broken.
