Chapter 483 A True Legend
For anyone, death was sothing that no one could control or resist.
Li Tianlan was not afraid of being in a corner.
But he was really afraid of death.
Death wasn’t just endless darkness for him. He was sure that if he died, the people living around him would probably live a life in which living was no better than dying.
That was what really scared him.
Facing Jiang Qiannian, Jiang Qiansong, Black Ghost, and KingTong, Li Tianlan could be fearless.
Being in a corner did not an that there was no room for struggle.
To struggle ant to have infinite hope.
While his Dual Wind and Thunder Veins were still intact, his final shot would give him the confidence to turn the tables in most cases.
But that was not the case when he faced Wang Tianzong.
The confrontation within the Office of the President did not last long, but once Wang Tianzong’s killing intent was aroused, it ant death to Li Tianlan.
He was powerless to resist.
Given Wang Tianzong’s present state, he was able to make Li Tianlan disappear in an instant, without even using all his strength.
Li Tianlan was sure of this.
Even if he were intact, even if his Dual Wind and Thunder Veins were undamaged, and even if he had the final sword strike with the Forever Silent World as its starting gesture, he still could not resist Wang Tianzong’s killing intent.
Li Tianlan’s vision now enabled him to see the end of Martial Arts.
That was a rare thing.
But it was also a sad thing.
He knew how far he was from Wang Tianzong because he could clearly see his position as well as that of Wang Tianzong, who was infinitely close to the end.
For Li Tianlan, the distance was very long. The only way he could get close to Wang Tianzong was perhaps by ti.
But for Wang Tianzong, the distance was quite short.
With one sword strike, he could not only make the distance between him and Li Tianlan disappear but even make Li Tianlan himself vanish.
So for a long ti, Li Tianlan didn’t feel antipathy against Wang Tianzong, but he didn’t like him, either.
The Sword Emperor of Zhongzhou State left more than just his awe-inspiring reputation in the Dark World.
At least for Li Tianlan, whenever Wang Tianzong appeared in his sight, it also ant that his life was being controlled by Wang Tianzong.
It was a really bad feeling.
Li Tianlan unconsciously lifted the teapot beside him.
The teapot was very light.
Dongcheng Rushi silently poured him a glass of pure water.
Li Tianlan took it and drank it in one breath. The cold sweat was building up on him, but as the cool, clean water flowed down his throat, he beca relaxed.
Li Tianlan lit a cigarette and was in a trance.
On the night of the great change in Wulan State, he borrowed Deity’s Sword Energy with his sword intent and had an opportunity to severely injure Wang Tianzong.
So he thought Wang Tianzong should thank him for his reason.
Now, he was also grateful for Wang Tianzong’s reason.
Li Tianlan took drags on the cigarette and remained silent for a long ti.
Wang Tianzong had courage.
No one dared doubt that.
Wouldn’t it be a joke if the Sword Emperor didn’t dare to kill soone?
So there were too many options for the brief confrontation.
He was the marshal of Zhongzhou State and the commander of the Snowdance Corps.
Wang Tianzong did not dare to kill him.
But that was not absolutely the case.
At least given the current situation, if Wang Tianzong had really killed him with his sword just now, he might be able to bear the consequences in a short ti.
Li Tianlan knew his value, but only the living were valuable.
If he died in Eastern Europe, all expectations placed on him by different forces would be dashed.
The Academics would give up the Li family as soon as possible.
Sigh City’s stance would be unknown.
The Dongcheng Clan may do sothing, but the Giant Group would definitely not go to fight the Wang family of Beihai desperately.
As for the reason?
Because he was dead.
In a short ti, Zhongzhou State would need the power of Wang Tianzong, and the Wang family of Beihai would still be as stable as Mount Tai.
It was just that killing the marshal of Zhongzhou State was a felony, after all. Such a cri was enough to plant a thorn in the heart of Zhongzhou State. This thorn might not lead to any consequences when Wang Tianzong was alive, but he would get old and die. When that day ca in the future, today’s cause would beco the effect of another day. A family that dared to kill the marshal of its country openly, however entrenched, was bound to be purged.
Thus, Wang Tianzong was very sensible and far-sighted.
Now the confrontation was over, and he imprisoned Wang Tianzong. At this mont, everything seed to be reasonable, but for Li Tianlan, the scenes just now really made him feel like he was hanging around the gate of hell.
Dongcheng Rushi picked out a new suit for Li Tianlan.
Li Tianlan took the new military uniform but did not move.
Dongcheng Rushi said obediently, “Shall I fill the tub?”
Li Tianlan nodded and then shook his head. He was still in shock. Finally, he said with a bitter smile, “Do you think I’m as timid as a hare and mortally afraid of death?”
“No.”
Dongcheng Rushi found a wet tissue and gently wiped Li Tianlan’s face. “I’m glad you’re afraid of death.
“Everyone is afraid of death. That’s not a sha. You can better protect the Dongcheng Clan in the future if you are alive. My father once told that when a man is in a high position, he can abandon everything, be it the bottom line, principles, good, or evil, except for his life.”
Dongcheng Rushi’s voice was soft. She stared at Li Tianlan’s face quietly and said softly, “You were afraid this afternoon, weren’t you? When you heard about Carlos, you were scared.”
“Yes.”
Li Tianlan took a deep breath. “I thought from this afternoon that if I died here, the people around might have a worse fate than Carlos. That’s sothing that must be carried on the way up. On this road, the asure of going to heaven or going to hell is victory or defeat instead of good or evil.”
Li Tianlan paused, repeating, “Victory or defeat.”
“You will win.”
Dongcheng Rushi crouched in front of Li Tianlan and looked up at him, her face was beautiful.
Li Tianlan reached out his hand subconsciously and touched her face, but his eyes turned in the direction of the next door.
Next door.
That was where Wang Tianzong lived.
For the rest of the ti, if nothing happened, Li Tianlan would keep him in captivity until the end of the chaos in Eastern Europe.
But in chaos, accidents were most likely to occur.
Li Tianlan frowned.
In a sense, he did sothing tonight that was unprecedented in the Dark World.
He successfully imprisoned the Sword Emperor of Zhongzhou State.
The humiliation was able to turn into indestructible anger.
Li Tianlan did not know how much Wang Tianzong hated him now.
But he knew exactly how much he feared Wang Tianzong.
He may be the only opponent in this life who made Li Tianlan fear from his soul.
Opponent?
Li Tianlan looked down at the military uniform on him.
Wearing this military uniform, he was Wang Tianzong’s opponent.
Without this military uniform, who was he?
He stood up and stretched his body freely.
The blazing sword intent instantly evaporated all the sweat on him.
Li Tianlan smiled.
His face was still pale, but there was sothing indefinable in his smile. “I suddenly discovered that I kind of hated Wang Tianzong.”
Dongcheng Rushi stood up and pulled Li Tianlan’s hand without speaking.
Li Tianlan’s gaze wandered out of the window.
His gaze seed to pass over the square in front of the Office of the President, go across the neighborhood, and land in front of the Caesar Hotel not far away.
The roaring explosions made the city turbulent.
The bloody and stern atmosphere was looming.
Li Tianlan looked into the distance and whispered, “Things in Eastern Europe are coming to an end.”
The chaos in Eastern Europe was his first battle on the stage of the Dark World.
The timing was perfect.
What was more perfect was that he seized the opportunity and also improved his status.
But all these things today didn’t belong to him, including the Snowdance Corps.
After the chaos in Eastern Europe was over, he was going back to Zhongzhou State to report on his work. The belonging of the Snowdance Corps had always been a sensitive issue in Zhongzhou State.
Therefore, everything he possessed now, except for his combat power, was illusory.
And he wanted sothing real.
His kingdom was in the South, very real.
That was what he was most likely to have in his hands. Even if his kingdom was located in a poor land near the border area, as long as it belonged to him, every inch of the land looked extrely splendid and magnificent.
Li Tianlan glanced at Dongcheng Rushi and suddenly said, “After returning to Zhongzhou State, shall I take you to the South?”
“I’ll go where you go,” Dongcheng Rushi responded seriously.
Li Tianlan smiled softly.
Dongcheng Rushi whispered, “My sister and I will help you.”
She suddenly rembered that she had also called Wang Yuetong sister, and Wang Yuetong’s position seed awkward now. However, Dongcheng Rushi naturally would not bring up the subject, so she corrected it calmly, “Little Sister Bai.”
“She...” Li Tianlan murmured, as if he were sighing.
The chaos in Eastern Europe was becoming increasingly apparent.
He felt more and more the limitations of this era.
So he had a vague understanding of Qin Weibai’s ultimate purpose.
This era may be in turmoil or be destroyed because of her, but who on earth led to all this?
“She’s a silly woman, too,” Li Tianlan whispered.
Dongcheng Rushi wrinkled up her nose and said nothing.
“When we settle down in Tiannan, I will keep you at ho, grow flowers, walk dogs, go shopping, and do whatever I want.”
With his poor imagination and understanding of today’s upper class, the life of a wealthy wife he could imagine would probably be carefree shopping, gardening, and dog walking.
Dongcheng Rushi shook her head and whispered, “It’s so vulgar.”
“But I like it.”
Li Tianlan laughed, and his laughter seed extraordinarily warm in the explosions.
Dongcheng Rushi moved a little closer to him.
Li Tianlan naturally held her in his arms.
There was a noise from the next door.
Dood to be sleepless tonight, Wang Tianzong ca out and looked in the direction of the explosion.
He couldn’t see anything, but he stood for a long ti.
Li Tianlan’s eyes narrowed. He suddenly thought of the instrunt that Wang Tianzong had thrown to him.
“Do you know what instrunt Wang Tianzong was holding in his hand?” Li Tianlan lowered his head and asked.
They were so close that he leaned over and almost touched her ear.
Dongcheng Rushi flushed, looking delicate and charming. She murmured to herself, “That devil is so ugly.”
Devil?
Devil?!!
Li Tianlan suddenly thought of sothing.
He took out his phone.
There was nothing on his phone. He still hadn’t received a call from Pri Minister Reeker.
Li Tianlan dialed a number.
The mont he waited for the call to be put through, he thought of the mysterious Devil Troop of the Wang family of Beihai, which only appeared in the legend.
And that legend seed to be coming true tonight.
Li Tianlan also thought of Jiang Shangyu, the one who made tea using the rain over the Huangpu River in Huating that day on a small boat.
That seed to be the first ti he had heard anything definite about the Devil Troop.
It was not a legend.
So what he dialed now was the phone number of Jiang Shangyu.
