The King of Special Warfare

Chapter 496 Trial Day · Invincible Realm Battlefield (2)

There were no accidents.

Everything had gone according to many people’s expectations.

When the two Invincible Realm Rothschild experts were about to break out of the encirclement, Qin Xilai, the Dark Swordmaster of Eastern Europe, was the first to take action.

It could only be Qin Xilai.

Li Tianlan chose to mobilize the army of Wulan State tonight to wipe out the Shadow Throne. Now the whole process was very smooth. The disappearance of the Shadow Throne could be said to be a heavy loss to both the EU and Rothschild. If he did this, Li Tianlan would become the sworn enemy of Rothschild.

It was impossible for him to let Paul and KingTong leave Eastern Europe. It was not as simple as setting a tiger free to return to the mountains. Since he had done it tonight, he had to do it thoroughly.

KingTong had to die.

Even Paul had to die.

Otherwise, the two of them would escape away. When Li Tianlan returned to Zhongzhou State, the Invincible Realm experts from the Qin Clan, Sigh City, and even Samsara Palace could not follow him all the time. At that time, in the face of KingTong and Paul, Li Tianlan would not even have the ability to protect himself.

Tonight, the two of them would not die.

In the future, Li Tianlan was going to die.

All the superpowers had reasons to kill Paul and KingTong, and they could even pay any price.

But only Li Tianlan had to kill Paul and KingTong for survival.

Among the reasons for all parties to pay any price, Li Tianlan was undoubtedly the most determined one.

Therefore, Qin Xilai took the lead in attacking.

The snow-white sword light of Sharpness cut through the night sky.

One stroke of Heaven-breaking!

This sword was just like the most obvious signal.

The moment they saw the signal, all the superpowers started to move.

The darkness seemed to have been completely dispelled by the light.

The heavy rain was smashed into mist by the extremely sharp Sword Energy.

The fog rose up in the light, and covered a vast expanse of land.

The snow-white sword edge passed through the crowd of Wulan State and went straight forward in the air. At this moment, the snow-white sword edge seemed to have penetrated the whole world. With an extremely violent penetrating force, it went straight at Paul.

It was extremely hasty for Paul to look back.

But his eyes were extremely calm.

This sword stroke was very powerful.

No one could deny this.

Qin Xilai ranked first on the Holy List.

But no one in the Dark World really believed that his strength would be limited to the Holy List.

There was Li Tianlan on the Divine List in this generation.

If Li Tianlan was replaced, Qin Xilai’s name would definitely be on the Divine List.

At this moment, in terms of momentum, the sword strike in Paul’s eyes had even surpassed those at the bottom of the Divine List. Even if it was not as powerful as KingTong’s, it was not far from KingTong’s.

However, in the eyes of Paul, who was infinitely close to the Peak of the Invincible Realm, this powerful sword strike was not perfect.

This sword was called Heaven-breaking.

The sword intent was extremely fierce and powerful.

But the Sword Energy was not enough.

This was the common illness of the Qin Clan’s kendo. It was also the common illness of the Lin Clan and the Li family’s kendo.

The Lin Clan, the Qin Clan, and the Li family shared the same origin.

The three superpowers had produced masters in succession for hundreds of years, and they were all in the Invincible Realm. But the ancestor of the Lin Clan, who could match with the Chosen One, had a very arrogant sword intent. Now, under the inheritance of generations after generations, there were very few people who could match the sword intent and the Sword Energy.

Even the current Lin Fengting and Li Honghe at their peak were far more powerful in sword intent than in Sword Energy. However, with Paul’s current realm, they could not see through it.

He could not see through Lin Fengting’s shortcoming.

But Qin Xilai’s realm was not high enough. The weakness of this sword strike was instantly magnified in Paul’s eyes.

The majestic sword light had completely covered Qin Xilai’s figure.

Sharpness fell down like a meteor and drew an extremely stunning arc.

The sword light got closer and closer. The moment it was close to Paul, the shiny sword tip suddenly rose up in a very subtle way.

In a flash, all the sword lights between heaven and earth completely condensed on the tip of the sword and became tiny pieces.

Darkness once again filled the air.

The moment the black and white colors changed, the crazily shaking Sharpness rose from below, and the sword went straight to Paul’s throat.

Qin Xilai looked calm and focused.

This sword stroke and this battle were both in his peak condition.

His strength, sword intent, Sword Energy, speed, and willpower had all reached the best state.

Paul suddenly raised his hand.

A storm suddenly appeared on the quiet battlefield.

In the blink of an eye, the air within a radius of hundreds of meters was twisted at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The calm night sky was like a piece of paper that had been crushed into pieces by Paul casually.

The night constantly shook, twisted, and became extremely messy.

Layers of distorted space blocked countless people’s sight. The light, night, ruins, and distant high-rise buildings became distant and blurred in the twisted night.

The night within a few hundred meters was twisting and shrinking wildly toward Paul.

Paul stretched out his hand and grabbed it.

His eyes were calm. But in the twinkling of an eye, it seemed as if he had pulled over a patch of dark night.

The distorted space became turbulent air currents that surged in Paul’s hands.

Everything happened in the blink of an eye.

The edge of Sharpness pierced through Paul’s chest and stabbed upward.

A pitch-black vortex appeared in Paul’s hand.

The vortex was pitch-black and rotated in his palm. It was small but thick.

In the face of the bright sword light, Paul slammed his palm down viciously.

In the pitch-dark vortex, the bright sword light exploded completely in the blink of an eye.

The black and the white passed each other, and then collided with each other in the small space. In the center of the two people, a very dark blast wave directly rose up.

The shockwave spread in all directions. Before the nearby Wulan State soldiers could retreat, they exploded into a bloody mist under the shock of the powerful force.

In the center of the battle, Qin Xilai held the hilt and tried his best to move forward. However, Paul, whose face was still calm, suddenly opened his own domain.

Qin Xilai’s body had lost balance in the void domain for a moment.

Paul pressed his palm down directly, and he held the bright edge of Sharpness in his hand.

Qin Xilai’s expression changed. He held the edge of the sword and spun it suddenly. When he was in the air, he stepped hard on the ground.

In a brief moment of time when the void space was shaking, Qin Xilai, who had found the supporting point again, shook his long sword and then began to rotate wildly with his sword.

The white Sword Energy burst out without warning.

At this moment, Qin Xilai and the famous sword Sharpness seemed to have combined into one.

He was spinning.

The sword was also spinning.

It seemed that the endless white sword light burst out in large pieces in every rotation, exploding the sky and howling.

Tens of thousands of wisps of Sword Energy were like a storm.

Storm Strike!

Qin Xilai and Sharpness had turned into a rapidly spinning light.

The sword light was going to stab Paul in the chest while spinning.

Paul pulled KingTong and began to retreat.

His domain had shrunk a little, but it was still very solid. The crazily rotating sword light became extremely difficult to stab into the domain.

Every time Sharpness rotated, a large piece of sword light rose up against the sky and turned into a gorgeous sword curtain.

Qin Xilai’s rotation speed was getting faster and faster, as if he had turned into a nail, which was going to break through Paul’s domain.

Paul raised his eyebrows.

The Rothschild Patriarch, who was incomparably gentle despite breaking out of the encirclement and killing in the rain of blood, suddenly raised his brows and eyes. He suddenly became incomparably majestic and fierce.

There was a faint crack in the air.

It was condensation of the air and squeezing of the air. It finally let out an explosive sound.

The domain in front of Paul seemed to have completely solidified into a solid wall in an instant.

The wall, which blocked the spinning sword light, instantly shrank nearly two meters.

Qin Xilai failed to stab it. With all his strength, he subconsciously rushed forward.

There was a flash of killing intent in Paul’s eyes, and he punched over hard.

“Buzz!”

In the incomparably silent buzzing sound, with the punch of Paul, the domain that had condensed into a field of substance swelled wildly in an instant.

The domain did not envelop Qin Xilai, but it slammed into him like a wall pushing forward in the void.

The sounds of flesh being torn and a fierce collision were heard. Crimson blood splashed out and looked shocking.

Qin Xilai’s body was directly knocked into the air.

The bright sword light was nearly extinguished, and only blood kept falling from the sky.

Paul narrowed his eyes. Before he could make the next move, there was a sudden sharp and crisp sound in the air.

The nearly extinguished Sharpness lit up again in the twinkling of an eye.

Qin Xilai, whose half body was stained with blood, was suspended in the air and held the sword with both hands.

As if Paul had realized something, he jerked his head up and looked up into the sky.

The infinite sword intent shot out by the Storm Strike in the sky had already begun to dim and disappear. But as Qin Xilai clenched Sharpness, the vast Sword Energy that seemed to fill heaven and earth suddenly began to surge wildly.

Qin Xilai took a deep breath. In the almost endless white Sword Energy between heaven and earth, he clenched Sharpness and chopped down with his sword.

Reversal Move!

“Bang!”

Suddenly, there was a violent roar like thunder in the sky and on the ground.

Countless white Sword Energy gathered like a roaring river and rushed down like an unstoppable turbulent torrent.

Paul frowned and finally showed a serious look in his eyes.

The Sword Energy that was like a torrent was rushing and surging. It fell from the sky and flew down.

There were roaring sounds of Sword Energy everywhere between heaven and earth.

Paul took a step forward and opened his palm to the world in front of the sword light.

It seemed that he could easily smash down the torrents of Sword Energy that could swallow him.

Paul closed his eyes and clenched his palm suddenly.

A unique skill.

The Clenching of Shadow.

The night was dark.

The sword light that was like a flood turned bright silver under the night sky.

In the midst of black and white colors, a layer of gray suddenly spread out from Paul’s entire body.

The gray light, which was like a shadow, was obscure and dangerous. It formed a halo in front of Paul.

The halo spread out.

Paul clenched his fists.

As a result, the halos formed one after another and spread layer by layer like ripples.

The gray shadow was silent and endless.

One loop after another.

Where the shadow passed, the night turned grey.

The silvery-white Sword Energy was obliterated and turned gray at the same time.

The Sword Energy, which was like a great river, constantly broke, smashed, and disappeared under the erosion of the halo.

The grey halo became bigger and bigger, and rushed into the sky and at Qin Xilai.

All of a sudden, Paul’s palm opened.

The gray halo was no longer formed, but the spread halo suddenly condensed into a big hand.

The giant gray palm Virtual Shadow seemed to cover the whole world. The big hand passed through the sky and pressed down hard on Qin Xilai.

Qin Xilai’s eyes were red, and he held the long sword tightly. His eyes became extremely calm and determined in an instant.

He had thought that Paul would be very powerful.

He also knew that he was no match for Paul.

How could it be so easy to deal with a person who was infinitely close to the Peak of the Invincible Realm?

But he did not think that he could only make three moves in front of Paul with his strength, which was enough to be ranked on the Divine List.

Heaven-breaking Move, Storm Move, and Reversal Move.

There should be more.

There must be many more.

Qin Xilai suddenly straightened his body.

The gray hand gradually closed and directly smashed down.

A figure suddenly appeared in front of Qin Xilai.

This was an extremely slender and straight figure. There was a smile on his young face among the Invincible Realm experts. But in the depths of his eyes, it was all wildness and craziness.

He stood in front of Qin Xilai, but held a huge shield in his hand.

The shield, which was three meters long, was black, wide, and thick. The moment it appeared, it directly blocked him and Qin Xilai from the back.

Paul raised his eyebrows and clenched his fists again.

The gray palm Virtual Shadow in the air directly turned into a fist.

The massive fist smashed hard on the shield.

Under a huge roar, the gray fist shadow disappeared in an instant.

The figure holding the shield and Qin Xilai were both hit from the sky by this punch and fell to the ground.

A large pit with a radius of nearly 20 meters appeared on the ground.

The two Invincible Realm experts looked at each other in the deep pit, and their eyes were full of seriousness.

Paul looked at Qin Xilai quietly. After a moment of silence, he said slowly, “I didn’t expect that the Qin Clan in Eastern Europe would be willing to be Li Tianlan’s lackey. Doesn’t Dark Swordmaster feel aggrieved by it?”

“It’s just a normal cooperation.”

Qin Xilai walked out of the deep pit step by step and said flatly, “The Qin Clan has its own interests request. Shouldn’t allies help each other?”

Paul laughed.

His smile was gentle and deep. “So you’re going to help Li Tianlan kill me?”

“Kill you?”

Qin Xilai shook his head and said, “His Highness Li Tianlan means no harm to you two.”

He paused and glanced around subconsciously.

The Dark Swordmaster was really a straightforward person. When he said these kinds of words that even he did not believe himself, a red light seemed to flash across his face in the night. “His Highness Li Tianlan wants to invite you two to the Office of the President as guests. Why don’t you stay for one more night in Recchi City?”

Paul squinted at Qin Xilai.

Qin Xilai’s face looked calm and cold, but the light in his eyes was extremely hot.

Paul laughed and said, “This invitation is very important.”

He said softly, “But you’re not powerful enough. Your sword intent is strong, but your Sword Energy is weak. This is the biggest drawback of your kendo. In other words, your kendo is perfect, but unfortunately you can’t do it. You’re far behind now, and you haven’t learned the sword from Li Tianlan for a long time.”

Qin Xilai was stunned for a moment.

“Learned the sword?

“From Li Tianlan?”

This sentence was so weird that even in this kind of scene, Qin Xilai was still a little absent-minded.

Paul frowned and seemed to be thinking about something.

Li Honghe, Lin Fengting, Qin Xilai.

The kendo of these three Invincible Realm experts had the same origin. These were all swords of the Lin Clan.

The sword intent of the Lin Clan was arrogant and distant. Only a few people could really understand its quintessence and raise their Sword Energy to a level that was in line with its Sword Energy.

Among the people Paul had seen, there were only two people with the foundation of the Lin Clan’s kendo who were perfect in terms of sword intent and Sword Energy.

The first one was not a part of the Lin Clan, the Li family, or the Qin Clan.

He had created a new super force.

He was Deity of the Purgatory of Heaven Capital.

His combination of sword intent and Sword Energy was extremely perfect, but this perfection was his compromise. He gave up the final part of the kendo and limited himself to a certain height. At this height, he was almost invincible, and he was also at the Peak of the Invincible Realm. Deity in this state would not be defeated even in the face of Wang Tianzong.

However, because of Deity’s compromise, there were also some flaws in his perfection.

The other one was Li Tianlan.

Li Tianlan’s realm was not high, but his path was perfect. It could be said to be the true path of the Chosen One. With the 24 Moves of Sword as the foundation, he created a new path. On this path, his sword intent could be said to be the strongest in all of the Dark World.

Li Tianlan’s weakness was the lack of Sword Energy.

But his lack of Sword Energy was different from that of Qin Xilai.

It was difficult for Qin Xilai to make up for his lack of Sword Energy.

The reason why Li Tianlan’s Sword Energy was not strong enough was that his realm was not high enough. The only thing he needed was time.

Therefore, Li Tianlan’s perfection was the real perfection.

Although he had not reached the Invincible Realm, in Paul’s view, he was completely qualified to teach Qin Xilai.

Paul even thought that Qin Xilai learning swordsmanship from Li Tianlan was a part of the cooperation, and a very important part.

But now, it seemed that this was not the case.

Qin Xilai fell silent, as if he was deep in thought.

Paul shook his head and stopped thinking about it.

His eyes fell on the tall and straight figure beside Qin Xilai.

The humongous, almost-exaggerated huge shield began to shrink slowly, and finally turned into a ring.

Paul quietly looked at the ring and suddenly said, “The Dark Saint Spear doesn’t have enough time to charge, so we can’t fire.”

The Dark Saint Spear.

It was the personal murderous weapon of the Dark Knights.

It was self-evident who the Invincible Realm expert with the Dark Saint Spear in his hand was.

“Indeed.”

The Commander of the Dark Knights, Rafael, nodded and said, “For you, I don’t need to use the Dark Saint Spear for the time being.”

His words were steady, clear, and full of contempt.

Paul was not angry. He just sighed softly.

“I thought we could be friends,” he said softly.

Rothschild was the biggest enemy of the Vatican in Europe.

The Vatican was the biggest enemy of the Dark Knights in Europe.

The enemy of one’s enemy is one’s friend.

The Dark Knights and Rothschild had worked together many times.

They had been very happy to cooperate with each other every time.

But it was clear that they were in opposing positions tonight.

“Follow us. We are friends.”

Rafael’s voice was indifferent.

“No.”

Paul shook his head without hesitation.

Rafael laughed. “Then we’re enemies.”

“Just the two of you...”

Paul suddenly took a step forward.

He opened his hands as if he was hugging the whole world. “You can’t stop me yet.”

A gray shadow suddenly blossomed between his hands.

This time, the grey was extremely dense and dark, with a clear smell of death.

The shadow was like mist, but it quickly spread to the sides of Rafael and Qin Xilai.

A unique skill.

Shadow Judgement!

This move was far more difficult and powerful than Realm of Shadow. It could be said to be one of the final hits of Paul.

The shadows were surging.

Paul took a deep breath and took a step forward.

As soon as his feet touched the ground, he suddenly let out a grunt.

“Brother!” KingTong screamed all of a sudden.

The shadow, which had been engulfed by Rafael and Qin Xilai, suddenly began to retreat, then disappeared completely in an instant.

Paul’s figure became a little hunchbacked.

He reached out his hand to touch the corner of his mouth.

Blood was flowing down from the corner of his mouth and it was dark red.

Paul turned around and looked to the west.

A group of figures crossed the army of Wulan State from the west and slowly came over.

“Mellad?”

Paul opened his mouth slowly and his voice was cold.

No one doubted their identities.

Perhaps there would be some people who did not recognize Mellad, but there was no one present who didn’t recognize the clothes of the Holy Disarmament Corps of the Vatican.

“You dare to interfere with me?!”

Paul’s voice sounded extremely angry and cold.

Shadow Judgement was one of the most powerful unique skills in Rothschild.

But just like the Ice-condensed Tomb, even the Vatican had their own unique skill of the same lineage.

This Shadow Judgement move was known as the Light Judgement in the Vatican.

The items that were similarly left behind by the Pope who was born in Rothschild might have lost quite a bit of essence. But when Paul had used all of his strength to prepare for a one-off attack on Rafael and Qin Xilai, Mellad secretly launched a sneak attack, Light Judgement, and interfered with Paul. At the same time, he also made Paul suffer a slight injury.

Mellad gave him a look, but he did not say anything.

But the Holy Disarmament Corps was getting closer and closer to them.

Paul suddenly looked back to the south.

Mitchell led the elites of the Heroes’ Club to slowly appear in his sight.

On the other side, Kass Rotter, the leader of the Men in Black, and Huan Kong, the Chief Sovereign of the Fantasy World, had appeared as well.

Rafael, Kass Rotter, Huan Kong, Qin Xilai, Mitchell, Mellad...

The line-up was getting bigger and bigger.

From Paul’s perspective, this was all an enemy’s line-up.

Paul fell silent and just looked at them quietly.

The Invincible Realm experts who represented the major superpowers got closer and closer.

When they stopped moving, Paul slowly opened his mouth.

“Do you... want to die?”

Li Tianlan did not appear on the battlefield.

But right in front of him was the battlefield.

The satellite of Wulan State had already locked in on Recchi City.

All the scenes in Recchi City appeared on the screen in front of him.

The scene had begun to become clear from the chaos.

With the entrance of the Invincible Realm experts, the whole army of Wulan State began to retreat quietly.

Li Tianlan silently calculated the comparison of power between the two sides.

The absolute aggressiveness of Paul was the biggest accident in his plan.

He knew that Paul was an Invincible Realm expert.

Or it should be said that Qin Weibai knew that Paul was an Invincible Realm expert.

Qin Weibai’s intelligence had never been wrong.

This time it was still right, but the only thing that was wrong was Paul’s strength.

This could be said to be Qin Weibai’s mistake, but it also caused a fatal loophole in his plan.

The present situation gradually became clear.

Li Tianlan was working with all the superpowers to attack Rothschild.

With such a huge advantage, it seemed that this fatal loophole was no longer fatal.

But for some reason, Li Tianlan felt more and more uneasy.

From the moment Qin Xilai and Rafael had been hit by Paul’s fist in the air, Li Tianlan had already stood up several times and wanted to go straight to the Caesar Hotel.

Dongcheng Rushi looked at Li Tianlan, who was in a state of anxiety, and suddenly said, “If you want to go, I’ll accompany you.”

“It’s not the right time yet.”

Li Tianlan took a deep breath and shook his head. “If I go over, the consequences are unpredictable. We have to wait...”

“Thump, thump!”

Suddenly, there was a slight but clear knock on the door.

Li Tianlan narrowed his eyes and asked subconsciously, “Who is it?!”

Tonight, the high-level management of the Snowdance Corps had another task. At this time, Li Tianlan could not think of anyone who would knock on his door.

There was no response from outside the door.

The next second, Wang Tianzong directly pushed the door open.

Dongcheng Rushi glanced at him and did not say anything.

Li Tianlan wanted to turn off the screen in front of him. But after thinking for a while, he put down the remote control in his hand and asked calmly, “What’s the matter, Your Majesty?”

His voice was very polite, but also extremely cold.

“I’m here to watch the show.”

Wang Tianzong said blandly, “As expected, only you can see it. I don’t think that I don’t even have the right to look at it, so I came here.”

He glanced at Li Tianlan and said slowly, “Can’t I?”

Li Tianlan’s eyes lit up. After a few seconds of silence, he suddenly smiled and said, “Of course. Rushi, make tea for His Majesty.”

“Thank you.”

After saying that, Wang Tianzong went straight over and sat beside Li Tianlan.

The confrontation on the screen was repressed and serious.

Wang Tianzong looked at it quietly for a while and suddenly said, “Rothschild’s situation is not optimistic.”

“I don’t think it’s going to be a pessimistic one, right?”

Li Tianlan smiled, and his smile was a little cold. “Your Majesty regards them as friends, but they might not treat you as a friend. At least Paul didn’t tell you everything, such as his relationship with the Governor of the Eastern Church, his cooperation with Violet and the Morton family. It’s obvious that you don’t know about all of these. Otherwise, how could you be unable to remain calm and come to my place to watch the show?”

Wang Tianzong raised his eyebrows in surprise and glanced at Li Tianlan. “Do you know that they have cooperation with the Eastern Church?”

Li Tianlan listened to his tone, frowned slightly, and said, “Do you also know that?”

After a moment of silence, Wang Tianzong said blandly, “I don’t have a good relationship with Paul. KingTong is my friend.”

“Oh,” Li Tianlan said. He looked expressionless.

“I have something to tell you.”

Wang Tianzong took out a cigarette and lit it. He said slowly, “It doesn’t matter how everything goes on tonight in Recchi City. If you want me to stay here, I can stay here as well. But for one thing, I don’t care what will happen in the end. Paul must live, so must KingTong. That’s my bottom line.”

He paused and continued, “Tianlan, if you touch my bottom line, do you think I’d dare to touch your bottom line? Would I dare to kill you?”

Li Tianlan glanced at him and said expressionlessly, “Your Majesty, you worry too much. I mean no harm to the two Highnesses in Rothschild, so I won’t kill them.”

Wang Tianzong looked at Li Tianlan.

Li Tianlan said that he wouldn’t kill KingTong and Paul.

But it did not mean that KingTong and Paul would be alive.

He chose not to kill them.

But the other forces would naturally attack them as well.

Wang Tianzong glanced at the superpowers that were confronting each other on the screen and did not speak for a long time.
