Chapter 464 The Sword Emperor Is Conquerable

In the huge square in front of the Office of the President, the national anthem of Zhongzhou State rang overnight.

The bright red Star Flag flew in the exciting music and reflected in the eyes of the world’s media, just like the only color in the night.

The blood in the city gradually dried up, and the raging fire began to go out. The war and turmoil gradually subsided as the night pa.s.sed. The brilliant lights went out one by one. The dim light lit up at the darkest time in the dark. A gust of morning wind blew away the darkness. Everything seemed wet in the hazy morning. The rain dripped down, and the whole city was cold.

w.a.n.g Tianzong stood on the balcony of the hotel for a whole night, and the Star Flag in front of the Office of the President also fluttered in his eyes for a whole night.

The rain, which became heavier, fell on his head gradually, wetting the extremely luxurious open balcony.

w.a.n.g Tianzong, who stood still like a statue, suddenly looked up at the sky.

The sky was gloomy.

The rain was messy.

The whole world was cold and desolate.

w.a.n.g Tianzong took a deep breath.

There was no sword intent or s.p.a.ce fluctuation around him. Under his extremely natural gaze, the sky, centered on him for a few hundred meters, suddenly subsided completely, and all the rain was completely evaporated.

He stood on the balcony. It was raining, but the place where he stood was dry and warm.

The sound of footsteps came from behind him.

KingTong, who had just got up, came over in her pajamas. She handed w.a.n.g Tianzong a gla.s.s of warm water and whispered, “It’s raining.”

“Yes.”

w.a.n.g Tianzong nodded, took the cup, and drank some water.

KingTong asked, “You didn’t sleep all night?”

After a full night of sleep, KingTong’s mental state had completely recovered from the frustration of last night.

There was no fear or shock left in her, but this morning, she was no longer as arrogant and aggressive as before.

In front of w.a.n.g Tianzong, KingTong was never the queen.

Her eyes were fixed on w.a.n.g Tianzong’s face, which made her look charming and gorgeous.

w.a.n.g Tianzong shook his head and said, “I’m not sleepy.”

KingTong slept in his room last night, and he stood on the balcony for the whole night.

“I just got up. Do you want to go to sleep?”

KingTong blinked her eyes and invited him with a chuckle and a flirtatious look.

w.a.n.g Tianzong might have been used to her flirtatiousness, so he was indifferent, pretending that he didn’t hear her and giving no response.

“What’s the next plan of the Shadow Throne?”

w.a.n.g Tianzong put the cup on the balcony, and the scope of the heavy rain began to decrease slowly. The rain fell into the cup, causing ripples, but the position where they stood was still dry and warm.

KingTong thought about it seriously for a while and said, “I want to stay in Recchi City.”

Although she had suffered great humiliation last night, she had to stay in Recchi City no matter in terms of the development of the situation or the position to regain her dignity.

w.a.n.g Tianzong said slowly, “You can stay, but you can’t do anything for the time being.”

“Hmm?”

KingTong was a little confused.

The huge change in Recchi City happened so hastily that the Shadow Throne had no time to mobilize too much power. That was why KingTong came here alone and ended up in an awkward situation.

However, KingTong did not lose confidence.

She was not on the top of the Divine List, but she had the Shadow Throne supported by many powerful European countries and wealthy families. The Shadow Throne was arguably one of the scariest superpowers in the world. These forces could change the general trend if they were brought to any place.

“As I said, after the deadlock, it’s still a deadlock.”

w.a.n.g Tianzong narrowed his eyes.

Wulan State had always been a sore spot in Zhongzhou State, and the special location of this country had always been the coveted target of all the superpowers.

The w.a.n.g family of Beihai had been secretly operating in Wulan State for several years.

General Joel, who was in charge of defense and whose military influence was second only to General Tostel, was the most important p.a.w.n that the w.a.n.g family of Beihai had put in Wulan State.

However, General Joel was dead.

It was not until the early morning that w.a.n.g Tianzong got the news.

General Joel was not the only one who died.

Some of the trusted subordinates of General Joel were a.s.sa.s.sinated.

In other words, the w.a.n.g family of Beihai had been secretly operating in Wulan State for many years, but almost all their connections had been wiped out in one fell swoop.

Swift, neat, precise, and decisive.

It was the masterpiece of Sigh City.

w.a.n.g Tianzong did not doubt the ability of Cool Breeze and Drifting Cloud. As top a.s.sa.s.sins, each one of them, in a certain situation, had the deterrence which was not inferior to that of an ordinary superior of the Invincible Realm.

They would definitely be able to do that.

But w.a.n.g Tianzong didn’t know where they got such a precise list.

All the foundation of the w.a.n.g family of Beihai in Wulan State was destroyed overnight, leaving almost nothing.

How precise would that list have to be to achieve that kind of effect?

This feeling was the same as what he felt when Qin Weibai gave Summer Solstice a piece of information when he was watching the final maneuver of the Sky Academy.

Indeed, there were some things that were not known by w.a.n.g Tianzong alone.

However, those who knew about these things did not have any reason nor standpoint to betray him.

Therefore, in any case, it was impossible for the information to be leaked out.

How did Li Tianlan know this list?

w.a.n.g Tianzong took a deep breath and muttered to himself, “I can neither remain dormant nor take action. This feeling is really…”

KingTong asked, “Are you upset?”

w.a.n.g Tianzong nodded. “Yes.”

Everything at the moment was in a deadlock for w.a.n.g Tianzong.

He was now the strongest Sword Emperor in the Dark World, but in the real general trend, he would inevitably become a target that everyone wanted to kill.

As he said, he was the strongest, and everyone knew that. But he was not absolutely invincible, and everyone knew that as well.

His sword might tear the current situation into pieces, but if he attacked rashly, he could kill Deity and Li Tianlan. Neither Lin Fengting nor Aresis was his match.

He could do that.

But once he did it, the final winner would not be the w.a.n.g family of Beihai.

The Dark World was the cruelest and darkest Jianghu.

In Jianghu, could one pay off the debt of grat.i.tude and of revenge as he wished and be carefree?

It was all bulls.h.i.+t.

In the changeable trend, the conflicts between different forces were never reasons to kill people.

Killing was only a necessary means, not a purpose.

The purpose of all the forces was to gain benefits.

The superpowers that were entangled together by interests could never pay off the debt of grat.i.tude and of revenge as they wished and be carefree.

It was obvious.

w.a.n.g Tianzong was stronger than anyone else, but it was meaningless for him to kill people but get no benefit.

He was stronger than anyone else.

So he could kill Deity. If he flung caution to the winds, he could even kill Lin Fengting.

Now in the Dark World, only these two people could pose a fatal threat to him.

He could get rid of these two threats.

However, after getting rid of them, he would be seriously injured. Maybe all the Invincible Realm experts would become his new threats then.

There would be more and more threats.

The trouble would get bigger and bigger.

In the end, what he could get would be a failure—an extremely tragic one.

That was not what w.a.n.g Tianzong wanted. He just wanted to win.

KingTong asked, “What are you going to do?”

“I don’t know.”

w.a.n.g Tianzong shook his head. “At present, there are only two ways. One is to wait, wait for the right time to appear, and the other is to break through and then go further.”

The team of General Joel was originally an important bargaining chip for the w.a.n.g family of Beihai to drive the situation in Wulan State and even in Eastern Europe. Even if Li Tianlan occupied Eastern Europe now, as long as w.a.n.g Tianzong had Joel as his p.a.w.n, he could also create a lot of opportunities.

But Joel was dead.

w.a.n.g Tianzong, who had no bargaining chips, couldn’t do anything inside Wulan State in a short time.

And now he didn’t dare to make a move.

When the sword of the Sword Emperor of Zhongzhou State had not been drawn out, he was the most powerful.

At this time, there were only a few threats around him.

But once he made a move, he might be surrounded by threats.

So he could only wait for other forces to make a move, and then he could draw out his sword at the most perfect time to get what he wanted the most.

Or he could just wait for himself to break through.

He could make a breakthrough at any time.

As long as he completely broke through the Invincible Realm and reached that new realm, by then he could sweep the whole Dark World on his own. At that time, the w.a.n.g family of Beihai would no longer need any scheme and could ignore all conspiracies. The edge of the sword Listen to the Sea would be unimaginably sharp. One could either surrender or die facing the sword light.

Only the one who reached the new realm could be invincible!

If he could break through again, all the deadlocks would then be meaningless in his eyes.

w.a.n.g Tianzong looked up at the raining sky and didn’t speak for a long time.

Now he wanted to move, but he didn’t have the right opportunity. He couldn’t move and dared not move.

He wanted to calm himself down and wait for his breakthrough quietly, but how could he really calm down when Eastern Europe’s situation changed?

He could neither remain dormant nor move.

The two choices only made his heart more and more chaotic.

KingTong suddenly said, “Let me do it.”

Her voice was very erratic, but in the end, she suddenly became firm.

“Hmm?”

w.a.n.g Tianzong glanced at her.

KingTong said, “The Shadow Throne will move first. What do you think?”

Since it was a deadlock, it proved that there was no chance for the time being.

But chances would come sooner or later.

The deadlock would be broken sooner or later.

None of this was controllable.

In this case, the Shadow Throne would be the deadlock-breaker. At the very least, they could keep the initial situation in hand, which was also an advantage.

Of course, all of this was from the standpoint of the w.a.n.g family of Beihai.

KingTong led the Shadow Throne to break the deadlock on her own initiative and could only try her best to create a result that was beneficial to w.a.n.g Tianzong.

“What are you talking about? It’s bulls.h.i.+t.”

w.a.n.g Tianzong shook his head.

All this seemed to be good for w.a.n.g Tianzong.

But he and KingTong knew well that when all the super forces in the Dark World were involved in this matter, whoever couldn’t resist the impulse and took the initiative to take action would be more likely to be eliminated first.

The Jiang family of South America and Knights Templars were the first ones to make a move in Eastern Europe.

Now, two Invincible Realm experts of the Jiang family of South America were dead, resulting in the Jiang family suffering a great loss. Jiang Qiansong abandoned a lot of bargaining chips and left in dismay. The entire Jiang family of South America might end up being hit by everyone.

As for Knights Templars, the chief knight Chaos, too, was dead without an intact corpse. As a branch of the Vatican in the Dark World, the meaning of the existence of Knights Templars would be greatly diminished along with the death of Chaos. Unless the Vatican could find an Invincible Realm expert with firm belief, otherwise, Knights Templars would exist in name only.

Who would dare to make a move without full confidence and an absolutely great opportunity?

“Not bulls.h.i.+t.”

KingTong said seriously, “I thought about it all night, and this is the best way.”

w.a.n.g Tianzong said, “Those wealthy European families won’t agree.”

The Queen of the Shadow Throne was highly respected in the Shadow Throne. She was the dominator, but she could not be dictatorial. No matter how powerful Rothschild was, it was impossible to forcefully reverse the will of all the wealthy families in Western Europe.

England, France, Germany, and Italy. All these countries had wealthy families with a long history. In terms of history, some wealthy families existed even before the w.a.n.g family of Beihai.

Rothschild was much more powerful than any wealthy family, but when all the wealthy families were united together, a force that could overthrow the whole of Europe would form. No matter how strong Rothschild was, it didn’t have enough strength to suppress it.

Most importantly, there was no reason for the Shadow Throne to do so.

They were partners and close allies, but no one in the Dark World liked to illuminate others at the expense of sacrificing oneself.

“I will convince them.”

KingTong stared straight at w.a.n.g Tianzong’s face. “I’m very sober now. It’s my decision to ask the Shadow Throne to make a move first. I chose to do so not just because I love you. Do you understand?”

She was willing to take action not only because she admired w.a.n.g Tianzong.

There were other factors.

Because she was the Queen of the Shadow Throne.

“Tell me your reasons.”

w.a.n.g Tianzong turned, walked into the living room of the suite, sat on the sofa, and turned on the TV.

The channels were about Wulan State. All channels were broadcasting a scene in front of the Office of the President—the scarlet Star Flag was fluttering wantonly in front of the Office of the President.

On this day, the entire Wulan State and even the whole world were blaming the desperate madness of the Jiang family of South America.

w.a.n.g Tianzong watched TV quietly.

Many times, the truth in the Dark World was not important at all. What was important was the general trend.

The Jiang family of South America had lost the general trend, so outside of the chaos in Eastern Europe, it had also become a target for everyone to strike and carve up.

As for whether Jiang Qiansong killed President Carlos, no one cared.

Who would?

“The only reason is that I believe in you.”

KingTong hesitated. She wanted to sit next to w.a.n.g Tianzong, but eventually, she sat opposite him.

She looked into his eyes, and her eyes lost focus.

“You are the strongest man in this era. I believe that there’s nothing you can’t do. You said you could break through, then you must. Tianzong, I am looking forward to that day. In my heart, there shouldn’t be any obstacles in front of the w.a.n.g family of Beihai, nor should the sword of Beihai be used with scruples. I always keep what Uncle w.a.n.g told me when I first climbed up Mount Dibing in my childhood in my mind.

“Those who can be unbridled are sharp.”

w.a.n.g Tianzong was in a trance.

Those who could be unbridled were sharp.

That was the case in the w.a.n.g family of Beihai more than twenty years ago.

At that time, the w.a.n.g family of Beihai was invincible and unparalleled in the world.Read comics on our ReadNovelFull.live

The w.a.n.g family of Beihai’s sword could truly be used at its master’s will.

That was the strongest edge.

It was just that the edge that was enough to tear the whole world had completely disappeared more than two decades ago.

The w.a.n.g family of Beihai was still the strongest superpower in the Dark World today.

But it was no longer invincible.

Regardless of the reasons behind all this, at least the reality was plain.

After w.a.n.g Tianzong became the patriarch, the w.a.n.g family of Beihai lost its confidence to be unbridled.

He was the Sword Emperor, ranking first on the Divine List, but the w.a.n.g family of Beihai supported by him alone, after all, had not returned to its former peak state.

He gave everything and burned himself desperately, but he could clearly notice that the w.a.n.g family of Beihai was slowly descending from the peak. This decline was slow, but it really existed.

No emotion could describe w.a.n.g Tianzong’s inner anxiety and stress.

Even Summer Solstice did not know how exhausted and silent her husband was when he looked into the mirror to see if he could still straighten his back.

Because in the eyes of the world, he was the Sword Emperor.

He could only be the Sword Emperor.

But in this era, the Sword Emperor was not invincible.

“It’s different.”

w.a.n.g Tianzong whispered, his voice light, “It’s different from then.”

One of his feet had now stepped across the Invincible Realm.

Before he made such a breakthrough, w.a.n.g Tianzong could still be regarded as the strongest patriarch of the w.a.n.g family of Beihai in the past century.

At this moment, he had completely surpa.s.sed his father in terms of kendo.

But the old patriarch of the w.a.n.g family of Beihai was much calmer than him.

That was why he said that those who could be unbridled were sharp.

w.a.n.g Tianzong clearly remembered how proud his father was when he said this sentence.

Because at that time, the w.a.n.g family of Beihai had the Li family.

The Li family also had the w.a.n.g family of Beihai.

When the two were standing side by side in Zhongzhou State, they had an irresistible edge!

But now it was different.

w.a.n.g Tianzong even thought about it more than once. If Li Tianlan could let go of some ambitions, and if Li Tianlan and w.a.n.g Shengxiao could stand side by side for decades to come, what would the w.a.n.g family of Beihai and Li Tianlan become of at that time?

But it now seemed that imagination could only be imagination.

The Li family collapsed.

“The w.a.n.g family of Beihai has indeed lost the Li family, but it still has Rothschild.”

KingTong’s eyes seemed to be burning with golden flames that were extremely fiery. “I will convince all the wealthy families consisted of the Shadow Throne. The Shadow Throne can pay a price, a huge one. We give up all the benefits in Eastern Europe and bet you a breakthrough. Once you succeeded in taking the last half step, the price that would be paid by the Shadow Throne in Eastern Europe could be regained in Western Europe.”

w.a.n.g Tianzong raised his eyebrows.

Western Europe.

Western Europe was the gathering place of all developed countries in Europe.

That was the domain of the Shadow Throne.

But now KingTong wanted to retrieve all the benefits from her domain.

Who was her target?

Who else could it be?

There was only one superpower in the whole of Western Europe that could not be controlled by all wealthy families and countries.

Holy Land.

The Vatican!

KingTong straightened her body. Her figure was not as plump as that of Europeans. Instead, she was a little slender. But here she stood, with an indescribable aura of gallantry. “It should be recorded in the history of both our families that over the past 500 years, the w.a.n.g family of Beihai and Rothschild have been playing the leading roles for at least more than 200 years.”

That history was long.

But Rothschild was such a large family. Everyone understood its history and its relations.h.i.+p with the w.a.n.g family of Beihai.

In the heyday of the Chosen One of the w.a.n.g family of Beihai, Rothschild had a female patriarch.

The female patriarch gave birth to a child for that ancestor of the w.a.n.g family of Beihai.

Later, the ancestor of the Lin Clan appeared in the historical torrents.

Then the Lin Clan lived in seclusion.

The Chosen One who founded Beihai pa.s.sed away.

Time surged forward like a huge wave.

In that era and even in several eras, the powerful w.a.n.g family of Beihai and Rothschild played the protagonists of the world.

In the heyday of Rothschild, there were two Popes of the Vatican from this family.

Nevertheless, a change that took place more than 200 years ago had almost completely subverted Rothschild’s rule of Western Europe.

The patriarch of Rothschild was a.s.sa.s.sinated.

The patriarch of the w.a.n.g family of Beihai was seriously injured.

At that time, a man named Monlier appeared in Western Europe.

He was almost equivalent to w.a.n.g Tianzong of this era.

However, he found a nearly perfect opportunity to completely break the long-lasting situation in Western Europe.

He eventually became the best and greatest Pope in the Vatican over the past five hundred years.

It was from that time that Rothschild, which had lost the Vatican, began to take another path, and the Shadow Throne began to appear in Western Europe.

During that time, one person also appeared during the most difficult time for the w.a.n.g family of Beihai and Rothschild.

A man named Li Xiuxin.

He came to Zhongzhou State from Switzerland.

That was the original beginning and origin of the Li family.

From that period until more than two decades ago, the people who played the leading roles in the world became the w.a.n.g family of Beihai and the Li family.

This history was clearly recorded in the history of the w.a.n.g family of Beihai, Rothschild, and the Vatican.

Vivid memories.

w.a.n.g Tianzong kept silent for a long time.

After losing the Li family, would the w.a.n.g family of Beihai re-establish a relations.h.i.+p with Rothschild and finally set foot on the top of the world again?

The scene seemed beautiful.

w.a.n.g Tianzong did not have an aversion to Rothschild.

But that was not what he wanted.

Really not.

KingTong looked at w.a.n.g Tianzong and said seriously, “It’s the only option at present, and the Shadow Throne also intends to give up the present and bet on the future.”

The only option meant they had no choice.

w.a.n.g Tianzong hated to have no other choice.

He had now entered a new realm with one foot, and his sword intent had reached an unprecedented peak. Maybe in the next second, he may break through.

After the breakthrough, he could choose whatever he wanted.

But he still lacked an opportunity.

This opportunity may come the next second, or it may require him to wait for the rest of his life.

Now he was only a piece of paper away from the new realm above the Invincible Realm.

This piece of paper had become very transparent, but with unparalleled willfulness. If there was no suitable opportunity, maybe he could not poke through this piece of paper in his life.

“Tianzong.”

KingTong called out, her voice was very gentle.

w.a.n.g Tianzong reached out and patted her palm. He smiled and said, “Don’t worry. In addition to the Shadow Throne, I originally had another candidate in mind who was more suitable for breaking the deadlock. Just wait.”

“How is this possible?”

KingTong said in disbelief, “The person who makes a move first is doomed to lose and even lose everything. Who will do that for you at this point?”

w.a.n.g Tianzong said calmly, “Of course it is a person who is capable of doing that but has nothing.”
