Chapter 424 Choice · h.e.l.l and Heaven
A delicate but extremely heavy domain directly enveloped Li Tianlan.
Jiang Qiansong’s smile became more obvious.
This was the strongest imprisonment style in the Thirty-meter Mortal World.
Li Tianlan had never broken through to the Invincible Realm.
Even if he really entered the Invincible Realm, he might not be able to break this domain for a while before he could stabilize his realm.
Everything looked easy, but it was not so easy.
They faced a young man with Invincible Realm combat power, a young Half-step Invincible Realm top master.
The two of them in the Invincible Realm attacked him unexpectedly.
This was indeed a loss of grace.
But as long as it worked and was effective, what did it matter if there was no grace?
He lost his grace today. But he got Li Tianlan, Samsara Palace, and even the possibility of entering Zhongzhou State.
There were three in the Invincible Realm in the Jiang family of South America.
Jiang Qianxie, the only killer of the Invincible Realm in the Dark World before Tribulation, died in the hands of Li Tianlan.
Known as Black Hand, the Second Master of the Jiang family of South America, Jiang Qiannian, also died in the hands of Li Tianlan.
And now.
Li Tianlan would die in the hands of Jiang Qiansong.
How perfect was this karma?
“Haha…”
Jiang Qiansong finally laughed out loud. His laughter was poisonous and cold.
Just when his laughter sounded, it suddenly got frozen in place.
In his sight, Li Tianlan, trapped in the domain, raised his hands.
With his current strength, he really could not break this cage.
He could not break it, but that did not mean that other things could not do so.
Li Tianlan’s hands glowed with silver light.
The silver light instantly became extremely dazzling.
On Li Tianlan’s wrist, the silver bracelet began to stretch, extend, and elongate.
In an instant, a silver sniper rifle more than two meters long appeared in the hands of Li Tianlan.
The large silver sniper rifle was aggressive and domineering, but the intricate patterns on the gun looked elegant and fierce.
Li Tianlan held the silver rifle, and his whole body’s momentum suddenly rose into the sky.
He raised the muzzle and aimed at the domain and Jiang Qiansong outside the domain.
Jiang Qiansong’s expression changed dramatically.
This silver gun was so familiar and so strange to him.
This was a murderous weapon belonging to the Jiang family of South America.
This was the Legend of Qin, but it was not the Legend of Qin.
“This gun is called Falling Stars.”
Li Tianlan raised the muzzle with a smile. “Give it to Mr. Jiang today.”
Any murderous weapon in the Dark World was powerful enough to deter the Invincible Realm.
Especially in the hands of one with the combat force of the Invincible Realm like Li Tianlan; they were two totally different concepts in the hands of elites in the common Thunder-shocking Realm or even ordinary Half-step Invincible Realm.
Even though Jiang Qiansong was famous for his defense, he did not dare to take a hard shot of the murderous weapon. So the moment when the muzzle of Falling Stars was raised, he could no longer care about maintaining the domain. Instead, he chose to turn around and run.
The moment the domain was loose, the boundless Sword Energy surged on Li Tianlan and directly broke the domain that Jiang Qiansong gave up maintaining.
Falling Stars turned into a silver sword.
Li Tianlan held Schenker with the other hand holding a sword. He laughed and rushed out of the domain.
His figure flickered and appeared in front of the castle door in the shortest time.
Rekvia Castle was quiet everywhere.
No one went to see Schenker, who was raised by Li Tianlan’s hand.
No one cared about Li Tianlan, either.
Jiang Qiansong’s face turned gloomy. After he returned and chased, he looked at Li Tianlan and was silent for a long time.
The moment Li Tianlan tore the domain with the sword intent, he already understood that he was being played by this boy.
Jiang Qiannian never denied his own value.
In particular, the Jiang family of South America now had a huge cause-and-effect relations.h.i.+p with Li Tianlan.
Although the murderous weapon’s blow was precious enough, it was worth it if Li Tianlan could kill him or even seriously wound him in one blow.
Li Tianlan finally chose to use the sword intent to smash the imprisonment cage.
This only ill.u.s.trated one problem.
Nine out of 10 of Falling Stars transformed by the Legend of Qin had not yet fully stored energy. So it could not fire.
But there was nothing to be angry about.
A murderous weapon that could not shoot was beside Li Tianlan.
This was definitely a good thing for him.
It was even the best thing.
Black Ghost appeared beside Jiang Qiansong.
A dark knife and a dark person.
He stood there, and the whole person exuded a kind of obscure sense of darkness and killing intent, like Jiang Qiansong’s shadow surrounded by darkness.
Darkness was the domain of Black Ghost.
The one in the Invincible Realm piled up by the cruelest means of the Jiang family of South America was naturally the most special one.
Black Ghost’s domain had no effect of control.
Just in his domain, his speed and power could be multiplied, but his defense became infinitely weak.
Jiang Qiansong once tried out Black Ghost’s full strike.
In the dark domain, the speed and power of Black Ghost erupted at the same time. Although he was not as good as Wind and Thunder Veins in terms of lethality, he was already a bit over Wind Vein for pure speed.
This was enough to show how scary Black Ghost was in the dark domain.
Jiang Qiansong calmed down completely.
He reached out to Li Tianlan, and pointed his finger at the silver sword in Li Tianlan’s hand. “Bring it.”
His tone was very flat.
Because of self-confidence and everything under control, it was flat.
Li Tianlan’s voice was also stable, and it was almost exactly the same as Jiang Qiansong’s.
“You want it?”
He smiled and raised Falling Stars in his hand. “Take it yourself.”
Jiang Qiansong frowned slightly and glanced at Schenker in Li Tianlan’s hand. His expression was meaningful.
“This is the old castle of the Rekvia family.
“You were the patriarch of the Rekvia family.
“I was your ally.
“You were in the hands of the enemy.
“What else needs to be said?”
Schenker did not need what Jiang Qiansong was talking about.
Since he saw Jiang Qiansong, he had ignited endless hope. He stopped struggling, and suddenly opened his throat and roared wildly. “Open the door! I am Schenker, your patriarch! Everyone, come out and kill Li Tianlan. Don’t worry about me. Just kill him. It’s an order. Cough, cough…”
He shouted extremely hard, so his face flushed and his whole body coughed violently.
Li Tianlan ignored Schenker’s howl, but looked at Jiang Qiansong with a mocking look.
Rekvia’s silent castle did not pay any attention to Schenker’s howl, but remained silent.
Schenker said they did not need to care about him.
The Rekvia family really did not care about him.
What was going on?
There was a moment of blankness in Schenker’s mind. Even though Li Tianlan was holding him in his hand, the authority of the patriarch made him angry. “Open the door! a.s.shole, Marojeff, what are you doing?!”
Marojeff was the steward of the Rekvia family. At the peak of the Thunder-shocking Realm, he stayed in the Rekvia family after retiring from the Polar Ground Alliance. It had been almost 15 years since he was Schenker’s absolute confidant.
They seemed to feel the anger of Schenker, and the deep door of the castle slowly opened.
Before Schenker had time to feel relieved, a dark object flew out and landed right in front of Schenker.
Schenker opened his mouth and seemed to want to curse. But when he saw what was in front of him, he suddenly lost his voice.
In his sight, it turned out to be a human head.
It was a dead head with endless anger and anxiety and unexpectedness.
The head of the housekeeper, Marojeff.
“This… this…”
Schenker’s brain was blank, and he was stunned for a while before screaming, “Jessica! Where is Jessica? What’s going on?!”
Jessica was his woman, equivalent to the half-hostess of this castle, and also a master of the Thunder-shocking Realm who had retired from the Polar Ground Alliance. She was a voluptuous figure who could let Schenker play for years without getting tired, and offer protection to him at the crucial moment.
“Whizz…”
An object cut through the air.
Jessica’s beautiful enchanting head flew over and landed in front of Schenker.
The whole person of Schenker seemed to lose all his strength. His face was blank and he didn’t speak for a long time.
Li Tianlan released his hand and threw him to the ground.
Schenker sat on the ground and stared blankly at the skull in front of him, like a statue without the slightest liveliness.
Jiang Qiansong’s heart sank and kept sinking.
It was not until this moment that he understood vaguely what Li Tianlan had said: What did my Rekvia mean?
This sentence did not mean that Rekvia was about to be his.
But while Schenker was still alive, Rekvia’s host seemed to have changed.
“Tostel!”
Schenker suddenly stood up, and his voice trembled a little. He called the last name he could count on. “Tostel…”
“I’m here, dear brother.”
Just when Schenker was about to despair, no head flew out of the castle again. But a voice sounded, which made him ecstatic and extremely angry.
A tall, majestic figure came out of the gate of the castle.
Behind him were two looming Oriental figures.
Sigh City.
Cool Breeze and Drifting Cloud.
Schenker changed his expression, stared at his biological brother, and was unable to say a word for a while.
“Like them?”
Tostel pointed to the two heads around Schenker. “This is a gift I give to you.”
Tostel.
Defense General of Wulan State.
Unlike the national defense of Zhongzhou State, Wulan State’s national defense was a department with real power. It could mobilize most of Wulan State’s military and had supreme power.
Jiang Qiansong’s heart was still sinking, but a look of realization appeared in his eyes.
When the army of Recchi City covered the entire military area with firepower, he vaguely guessed that Zhongzhou State or Samsara Palace had raised a big fish in Wulan State.
But now it seemed that this big fish was not only raised in Wulan State, but also was a big fish raised within the Rekvia family.
Li Tianlan looked at Cool Breeze and Drifting Cloud.
The two top-level a.s.sa.s.sins of Zhongzhou State nodded at the same time.
Li Tianlan became relieved.
He was chasing Schenker in order to control Jiang Qiansong’s trajectory. He was also attracting a team of experts at the headquarters of the Rekvia family.
The elites of the Rekvia family rushed out of the castle in order to rescue the patriarch one after another.
With the constant emptiness of the castle headquarters, he had Tostel as a spy. Two top a.s.sa.s.sins had mixed in the castle. With the cooperation of Tostel, now they completely controlled the headquarters of the Rekvia family.
In this trip to Eastern Europe, Li Tianlan had too many chips in his hands.
Tostel was one of the most important chips in Samsara Palace.
“Tostel! Do you know what you’re doing?! You take refuge in Samsara Palace? You will become a sinner in your family, and you will bring the Rekvia family into h.e.l.l, and you will…”
“Enough.”
Tostel interrupted Schenker’s final growl directly. “I’m very clear-headed.”
He looked at his brother and calmly said, “But you don’t seem to know what you are doing. The Polar Ground Alliance has collapsed, and if I don’t do it this time, you are equivalent to taking refuge in the Jiang family of South America. The whole Rekvia will be swallowed by the Jiang family of South America. As for me… I only cooperate with Samsara Palace.”
Everyone knew that the headquarters of Samsara Palace had been destroyed, and the Master of Samsara Palace had been killed by w.a.n.g Tianzong’s sword.
Under such circ.u.mstances, cooperation with Samsara Palace was naturally safer than cooperation with the Jiang family of South America.
Rekvia’s partner did not have to be Samsara Palace, for Li Tianlan was their main goal.
Behind Li Tianlan were Zhongzhou State and Samsara. The most important thing was that he was doomed to stay in Eastern Europe for a short time.
If he wanted to occupy the interests of Eastern Europe, he could only find an ally.
Tostel considered himself as the best ally.
Of course, the so-called fair cooperation meant that both parties had the right to change their positions.
What Tostel said and thought of was the best result.
But if something happened, such as they did this, but Jiang Qiansong and Black Ghost killed Li Tianlan…
Tostel would also give up Li Tianlan without hesitation and choose to turn to the Jiang family of South America.
Before that, he needed to kill someone first.
Tostel pulled out his pistol and aimed at Schenker, his own elder brother.
.
As long as Schenker died, whether for victory or failure, Li Tianlan and Jiang Qiansong could only choose to cooperate with him. He and Rekvia would be safe.
“Boom!”
The sound of gunfire resounded.
Schenker did not fall down.
A wispy sword intent twirled and shredded the bullet, bringing out a flare of fire.
Tostel suddenly turned his head and looked at Li Tianlan. “Your Highness, Schenker must die. This is the condition for our cooperation.”
“Of course.”
Li Tianlan laughed. “But not now. Now he is still useful to keep alive.”
Tostel’s expression was indeterminate.
“Mr. Tostel.”
Jiang Qiansong suddenly said, “If I kill Schenker for you, then you and I join forces to kill Li Tianlan, okay?”
Li Tianlan sneered and looked down at his watch without saying a word.
Tostel noticed this movement, and he felt a little stunned inside.
He really wanted to kill Schenker.
But he was unwilling to give up the prospect of working with Li Tianlan.
If he chose the Jiang family of South America, Rekvia was destined to be annexed.
If he chose Li Tianlan, which was tantamount to choosing Zhongzhou State, Rekvia could retain some full autonomy to some extent.
The most important thing was not to mention whether Jiang Qiansong could now kill Schenker under the eyes of Li Tianlan,
Even if Schenker was dead, he and the Jiang family of South America could not necessarily kill Li Tianlan.
Tostel shook his head. “I’m sorry.”
He raised his hand.
Under the gloomy sky, the silent castle suddenly became dazzled.
In the messy footsteps, the elites of the Rekvia family appeared in every corner of the castle one after another and aimed the guns at Jiang Qiansong as well as Black Ghost.
The figure of Li Tianlan slowly lifted up and landed on top of the castle.
There were Cool Breeze and Drifting Cloud on his left and right sides.
Below were countless elites of Rekvia.
Jiang Qiansong’s face became completely serious.
At this moment, Jiang Qiansong finally understood the seriousness of the incident.
Li Tianlan caused great changes in Wulan State.
Schenker took this huge change to the international stage with huge handwriting.
All international pressure was now in Recchi City.
Zhongzhou State kept silent.
Li Tianlan had no way back.
But at this time, the Jiang family of South America also had no way back!
The key lay in the att.i.tude of the Rekvia family.
If he killed Li Tianlan, the Rekvia family had to cooperate with the Jiang family of South America no matter who the master of the Rekvia family was.
If Li Tianlan killed Jiang Qiansong, he would also get the support of the Rekvia family.
Rekvia had the power to change Wulan State’s position.
If this was a war…
If Li Tianlan failed, the cooperation between the Jiang family of South America and Rekvia in cooperation with international pressures was enough for Li Tianlan to have no place in the Dark World, even if they could not kill Li Tianlan. Then the Li family would completely disappear.
But if Jiang Qiansong failed…
Winner lives, loser dies.
When Li Tianlan and the Rekvia family cooperated, the Jiang family of South America would stand in the position of the loser and bear all the international pressure and conquests after the great change in Wulan State.
Wulan State had declared Zhongzhou State as a hostile state.
But no real war broke out after all.
As long as Rekvia changed its att.i.tude, Wulan State could fully explain that this was a misunderstanding, thus restoring the relation with Zhongzhou State and then listing the Jiang family of South America as a target.
Unsettled.
This was the normal state of the Dark World.
Jiang Qiansong stood in front of the castle and remained silent for a long time.
He was not sure what would happen if he entered the castle at this time and fought with Li Tianlan, the Snowdance Corps, and the Rekvia family.
But he knew that if he turned and left at this time, Li Tianlan would not even care about him.
All he wanted to do was kill Jiang Qiannian.
He wanted to force the Jiang family of South America to withdraw from the feast of Eastern Europe.
Instead of choosing life and death with Jiang Qiansong.
As long as Jiang Qiansong retreated without a fight, under the overwhelming international pressure, the Jiang family of South America would have no foothold in Eastern Europe and even suffer absolute losses.
Li Tianlan now had the initiative and controlled Rekvia.
If Jiang Qiansong could not break the game, he could only accept the failure.
So Li Tianlan now hoped that Jiang Qiansong would retreat.
But Jiang Qiansong must not retreat!
Jiang Qiansong stood quietly, looking at the mountains and the castle in front of him.
The world seemed to shrink infinitely before him, turning into a long, narrow spider silk.
Below the spider silk was a 10,000-foot cliff.
He stood on the silk and wobbled, but he had to make a choice.
This was where Li Tianlan had just stood.
Li Tianlan walked across the spider silk.
Jiang Qiansong must also move forward.
One step forward might not be heaven.
But taking a step back was definitely h.e.l.l.
Jiang Qiansong laughed.
“Ghost.”
He let out a sudden low shout.
“Master.”
Black Ghost lowered his head.
“Follow me.”
Jiang Qiansong said one word and stepped forward.
“Boom!”
The entire castle shook suddenly.
The surrounding mountains seemed to shake hard.
The domain of the Thirty-meter Mortal World began to extend in front of the castle.
The black sword light flooded the domain and became a force enough to tear everything.
In the loud noise, the gate of the entire castle was completely shattered in the dark knife light.
