The King of Special Warfare Chapter 182 - The Kind And Evil Intentions

The murderous weapon didn’t move.

Saint didn’t move, either.

The dangerous atmosphere filled all the s.p.a.ce between heaven and earth, and the air was so repressed that it almost solidified.

Li Tianlan’s boiling blood slowly cooled down, then it became ice cold.

It was so cold that it was bone-piercing.

Everything was in a trance in the dark rain screen. According to his intuition, Li Tianlan could feel clearly that the muzzle of the murderous weapon was pointing at him. He was fully covered in the heavy pressure and a sense of danger, as if he would become a mist of flying dust after a loud noise.

The two confronted each other.

It was quiet in the forest.

Li Tianlan’s pupils had contracted intensely, and the sharpness in his eyes had disappeared completely. Instead, there was dense darkness and silence in his eyes.

There was killing intent everywhere between heaven and earth.

The killing intent was transparent, but it secretly cut open his clothes. Blood wounds appeared all over his body one after another. The wounds were thin and shallow, but the blood kept flowing out.

Li Tianlan held the Human Emperor in his hand tightly, then stepped forward abruptly.

Saint’s expression changed rapidly behind the cloak, and he almost straightened up his body instantly.

Li Tianlan had no expression on his face, and his pupils were dark and gloomy. The killing intent caused by the murderous weapon was surging violently in the forest as he moved forward, as heavy as a mountain. The pure, deadly evil spirit became the real killing intent and covered Li Tianlan layer by layer.

Li Tianlan continued to move forward, and he took the second step.

He was already covered in blood, but his body was still standing straight. The murderous weapon radiated heavy killing intent. A kind of extremely sharp combat willpower seemed to rise up from the ground and went straight up to the rain screen above.

In my lifetime, I couldn’t lose, and I couldn’t retreat.

If I lost, I died.

There was no escape!

Saint’s eyes loosened up a little bit.

In his senses, in the forest hundreds of meters ahead of him, the intense, deadly danger seemed to be fading away.

But it didn’t disappear entirely.

There seemed to be raging killing intent everywhere in the forest in front of him. The killing intent got mixed with heaven and earth, frightening and unstoppable like sunrise and moonset.

The killing intent in the air was retreating.

The danger was disappearing.

Saint grabbed Li Tianlan’s shoulder and brought him back to the battlefield in the back.

The battlefield was a mess. The battle that lasted only a few minutes was extremely intense and cruel. The survivors didn’t feel well, and as for the dead, the pieces of them were nowhere to be found, let along the whole body.

Horsewoman and Duke already leaned on each other, and they looked really worn and tired. They were both of the same condition. They both looked pale, their bodies were covered in blood, and their vitality was still dropping.

Horsewoman felt wronged.

Heavenly Calamity was called the Gun King of the generation, and Grim Smile’s power was really intense, but it wasn’t that easy for him to kill a top superior in the Thunder-shocking Realm like Horsewoman. If Horsewoman was close enough, Heavenly Calamity couldn’t last half a minute under her attacks. Even if Horsewoman couldn’t break through Heavenly Calamity’s gunfire, it wouldn’t be easy for Heavenly Calamity to use Grim Smile to hit Horsewoman. But according to what happened tonight, Horsewoman just stood there and took the second shot from Grim Smile without any protection. Now she was just seriously injured and still had some strength left, which could show how powerful this guardian of Samsara was.

Dongcheng Rushi had already woken up. As if she just had a dream, her clear eyes were filled with confusion, which made her look dumbfounded. Watching Li Tianlan and Saint came back together, her eyes lit up a bit, then she struggled to get up and walk to him. But then she seemed to think of something and waved her tender, pale hands. The night rain suddenly got condensed into blue frost and then turned into a mist of semi-liquid steam.

She wiped her dirty little face with her hand. But after days of being on the road, her hands were just as dirty as her face. As a result, she made her face even dirtier with the steam, but she hadn’t realized. She just made her originally dusty but presentable face like the patterned face of a cat.

Even Li Tianlan, who had negativity all over him, wanted to laugh. Saint’s body shook a little bit in the black robe. As for Horsewoman and Duke, they chose to look away cause their bodies were too sensitive to handle a laugh.

Dongcheng Rushi seemed to realize something was wrong. Then she looked at her hands subconsciously. She didn’t scream or get angry, but just stood there and zoned out in silence, looking kinda goofy.

“Don’t wipe it, wash it when we get back.”

Li Tianlan walked to her and said softly. Watching the ones who were still in a coma next to Dongcheng Rushi, he shook his head. Being in a coma was the most instinctive protection organism of the human body, which was good for their healing.

“I’m pretty.”

Dongcheng Rushi’s clear, star-like eyes were staring straight at Li Tianlan, and she said in a serious tone.

“I can tell.”

Li Tianlan nodded. When facing Dongcheng Rushi, he seemed to feel distressed and embarra.s.sed under any situation.

“I told my grandpa that I’ll marry you after I graduate. The last time you went to my house, I went away. Did you get angry about that?”

Dongcheng Rushi could look Li Tianlan in the eyes at first, then when she finished the sentence, she subconsciously lowered her head. Suddenly, she saw the blood, the gun wounds, the saber wounds showing on Li Tianlan’s body through the shattered clothes. Even though Saint had helped him take out the bullets and apply the medicine on him, but the five bullet holes still looked terrifying.

Dongcheng Rushi lifted her head again and looked at Li Tianlan with her burning eyes. He heard her cold, but innocent, child-like voice. It sounded soft. “Did you get these wounds, for me?”

“No.”

Li Tianlan’s heart suddenly sank. Feeling the faint stares from the three Super Masters, he felt really embarra.s.sed, then he pointed at Li Baitian on the ground. “These are all my brothers, so… So I…”

Under the bright stare, Li Tianlan suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. He was stuttering as if he had a relapse of his wounds.

“So you are angry.”

Dongcheng Rushi stared at Li Tianlan quietly. Her tone was also quiet and calm. It didn’t show her grievance and sadness at all.

Li Tianlan wanted to deny but felt really weird to do so, so he had no choice but to say, “That doesn’t matter at all. What’s important is that, do you like me or not? Do you want to marry me or not?”

“I will.”

Dongcheng Rushi said in a really soft tone, as if she was hypnotized.

Li Tianlan asked her if she wanted to, but she answered she would.

Li Tianlan wanted an answer, but Dongcheng Rushi gave him a certain result.

Did it matter?

It didn’t seem to matter.

“My grandpa said I can only marry you.”

It was still a quiet, soft tone. She didn’t sound disappointed, but serene like a starry sky. She said in her soft voice, “My grandpa said, I can only marry you.”

Li Tianlan couldn’t understand how much pressure, earnestness, and desire was in this sentence. Right now he had a mild headache, but he couldn’t help but feel pleased with himself. He would never show it, of course.

Any man could understand this kind of secret joy.

“Let’s go back first.”

Saint suddenly said, “We shouldn’t stay here for long.”

The top one Super Master of Samsara rarely opened his mouth, but once he did, Li Tianlan could feel his natural confidence and firmness.

Duke hadn’t known Li Tianlan for a long time, but in their occasional conversations, the flattering techniques of this number four Super Master of Samsara made Li Tianlan feel comfortable. Duke was naturally an expert, but to Li Tianlan, he already lost all his dignity and demeanor.

Horsewoman was relatively soft and gentle, but she just did what Qin Weibai told her to do.

Flaming Fire was obviously very hostile to him, or she didn’t plan to hide the hostility anyway. But she couldn’t lay a finger on him, so Li Tianlan felt sorry for her.

Only Saint was calm and quiet, mysterious and cool. He wasn’t a cold person, but his aura was the most elegant. Only in him, Li Tianlan could feel the dignity of Samsara Super Masters.

Li Tianlan nodded. There were enough people that could carry the wounded.

They went through the forest.

They were heading back home.

About five kilometers away from the forest, there was an ordinary bus waiting for them there.

In the night sky, the bus was like a big piece of bread in disguise. The dim but obvious bus light shone on the meandering road ahead. The rain became shining strings in front of the bus. Saint walked in front. He didn’t greet the driver, just entered the bus carrying the heaviest Xu Chu.

The bus was no different from the normal buses, but the gap between the seats inside was really comfortable. The seats were all real leather seats and were really comfy to sit on. Saint threw the giant Xu Chu on the sofa, grabbed a seat and sat down, then he ordered calmly. “Drive.”

The bus’s engine made a loud booming noise, and then the bus started up slowly.

Li Tianlan put down Li Baitian on his back, then sat next to him and caught his breath. The medicine Saint applied over him while they were on the road worked really well. It went into his body and made him feel really cool inside. He seemed to regain most of his composure. This medicine worked really fast, but it didn’t last long. He carried Li Baitian and walked for a few kilometers to the bus. Then Li Tianlan felt all tired and dizzy, and his body felt empty. The sense of weakness kept attacking his body and seemed to drag his consciousness into the dark.

Li Tianlan bit his teeth and asked suddenly, “Which murderous weapon was it?”

“Murderous weapon?!”

Before Saint could answer, Duke at aside was stunned. He looked at Li Tianlan first and then at Saint. His expression suddenly got serious. “Did you guys confront a murderous weapon while chasing Heavenly Calamity? Was it in Heavenly Calamity’s hands?”

“No.”

Saint stayed silent for a while, then shook his head and said, “No force would lend the murderous weapon to Heavenly Calamity. Besides, he is only in the Fire-flaming Realm, so he wouldn’t be able to use a murderous weapon well.”

“The person who held the murderous weapon was hidden in the dark. He didn’t fire the weapon, so we couldn’t tell which murderous weapon was it.”

Li Tianlan was breathing hastily. Then he touched his pocket subconsciously and took out a pack of cigarettes, but he didn’t hold it right and dropped it under the sofa.

Dongcheng Rushi, who sat next to him, picked it up and lit the cigarette for him in silence.

Li Tianlan took a big drag and tried to brace his energy before he pa.s.sed out at any minute. Everyone in the bus seemed to ignore the fact that there was a person missing in the battlefield when he was chasing Heavenly Calamity.

Maybe someone found out, but they didn’t doubt anything.

“When did Dawn leave?”

Li Tianlan suddenly asked. There was well-hidden coldness in his tone.

Saint was a bit surprised. He took a look at Li Tianlan, then narrowed his eyes and looked at Duke and Horsewoman.

“Tianlan, are you suspecting Dawn? It can’t be…”

Horsewoman said subconsciously.

“I just want to know when did he leave.”

Li Tianlan said calmly. It could be a.s.sured that Dawn and Daybreak were from the same force. He didn’t know what the force was called, or what was the relationship between this force and Samsara. According to what Duke said, this was related to the top secret of Samsara, which only the Master of Samsara Palace and Qin Weibai knew about at the moment.

Everything was unknown, so there was no way to figure out.

But he knew very well that the seemingly perfect kindness could turn into lethal danger.

This was the main reason why Li Tianlan was still cautious about the Dongcheng Clan.

What was the cooperative relationship between Samsara and the force behind Dawn and Daybreak?

In this relationship, could the death of him result in something else in this cooperation?

Li Tianlan wasn’t sure of these questions. But he was sure that it was entirely possible.

The Dark World was in two colors, black and b.l.o.o.d.y. Who could tell right and wrong, good and evil in the mixture of the two colors?

Horsewoman thought for a second, and her face turned pale a little. “He… disappeared almost right when you went to chase Heavenly Calamity.”

“But there was one more thing that couldn’t make sense.”

Saint suddenly opened his mouth and said, “The mysterious force behind them shouldn’t have any murderous weapon.”

“Shouldn’t?”

Li Tianlan took a drag and asked in return.

“Among the 12 Murderous Weapons in the Dark World, eleven can be traced back to the owners. They belong to the superpowers in the Dark World or some world-cla.s.s powerful countries. And the one which doesn’t have an owner has disappeared for many years. But it’s sure that the weapon isn’t damaged, it’s just gone. Counting the time, this murderous weapon had been missing long before Infinite Sky from the Li family got damaged.”

Duke explained softly. “While the mysterious force we worked with this time is a young dark force that only appeared a few years ago. Their foundation hasn’t been perfected. It has nothing to do with the missing murderous weapon, and the timing is wrong.”

Li Tianlan took a drag while blinking hard, trying hard to stay awake. Then he said calmly, “Isn’t there a murderous weapon in East Island?”

The three Super Masters of Samsara took a look at one another and seemed weird.

“There was one… in East Island, but it belonged to Night Spirit…”

Duke laughed, and his tone was playful.

Li Tianlan suddenly realized something.

The murderous weapon Blue Sky Underworld!

This was the murderous weapon that once belonged to Night Spirit, which meant it belonged to East Island.

But as Night Spirit was destroyed, now the weapon that ranked in the top of the 12 Murderous Weapons was in the hands of the Master of Samsara Palace.

Right now, East Island didn’t have any murderous weapon.

“Even East Island can borrow a murderous weapon, they wouldn’t give it to Dawn. Besides, the murderous weapon appeared tonight has nothing to do with East Island, or the user would fire the weapon instead of retreating. It’s obvious that the user didn’t want to draw any attention from East Island. At least, that person can’t let East Island know that there is a murderous weapon that can threaten superiors of the Invincible Realm in their country now.”

Saint narrowed his eyes, looking deep and serious. “The person behind this has a big plan.”

Li Tianlan felt his eyelids getting heavier and heavier. In a trance, he thought of the night he first met Daybreak.

That night, Daybreak said that the barrel of the famous gun Grim Smile in Heavenly Calamity’s hand was a gift from him.

This could be a real superpower hidden in the dark. But who was behind the darkness?

Li Tianlan wanted to say something, but his head got dizzier and dizzier. Suddenly, everything went dark, and he pa.s.sed out completely.

It became silent on the bus.

Dongcheng Rushi sat next to Li Tianlan and just stared at his face in earnest. Her beautiful big eyes went dim. She struggled to blink for a few times, then closed her eyes for good.

The bus was moving on the mountain road at full speed in the night rain.

The rain dropped on the bus windows and made crackling sounds. The atmosphere in the bus became a little weird.

The bus went straight down. In the farthest place that eyes could see, they could see dim lights in the rain.

Duke finally opened his mouth. He stared at Horsewoman seriously and said calmly, “Should we tell the Palace Master about what Tianlan just mentioned?”

The black cloak covered Saint’s face. No one could see his face, but he still talked in a calm tone. “No need to rush. I’ll make contact with them in the near future. We’ll talk about it then.”

“I don’t think so. The situation was really dangerous tonight, if you didn’t get there in time…”

Duke thought about the sword that crushed Rattlesnake’s body from hundreds of meters away and the gunshot that Heavenly Calamity fired.

He shook his head. “In fact, you were a bit late, if…”

“There’s no if.”

Saint suddenly shook his head. “Even if I didn’t show up, everything would be fine.”

He turned around and looked at Duke through the cloak, then said in a low voice, “Did you forget about Dongcheng Rushi’s sword strike?”

Duke’s expression froze. He thought about the infinite sword intent the sword let out. He opened his mouth and said subconsciously, “How did you do that?”

“Eh?”

Saint felt confused.

“I mean, how did you turn that sword strike into a different one?”

Duke struggled to put on a smile on his face.

Saint stayed silent for a whole five minutes, then he said slowly, “That sword strike was the real invincible sword intent. It equals a full strike from a superior of the Invincible Realm and was the remaining sword intent left in the Silence. Dongcheng Rushi could bring out the sword intent at the cost of her life and the sword itself. Do you think I can repress such a sword strike and turn it into another strike?”

“…”

Duke struggled to smile again in order to press down the fear inside. “So, it wasn’t you?”

Saint’s body froze for a second. After a while, he said calmly, “Of course it wasn’t me.”

If it wasn’t Saint, who else would it be?

Duke suddenly felt too scared to dig deeper.

If it wasn’t Saint, which meant that, another ultimate superior appeared just now under everyone’s noses?

The person could press down Dongcheng Rushi’s invincible sword strike without anyone of them noticing. There was no doubt that that was a real expert of the Invincible Realm.

Why did this person save Dongcheng Rushi?

Did this superior of the Invincible Realm appear only to save a life?

Duke tried to convince himself of this kind reason, but he felt uneasy inside. It was a good result, but all he could feel was evilness.

“Right now East Island…”

Saint stopped for a second and then said calmly, “The situation is out of everyone’s control. Anyway, we need to be careful in the future.”

He took a look at Li Tianlan, who was sleeping in a coma, and continued. “In conclusion, we gotta protect this boy. If anything happens to him, the boss will go mad.”

“I’ll do my best.”

Duke smiled, but the smile looked worse than crying.

Saint didn’t say anything anymore. He just turned and stared outside the window in silence.

Through the cloak and the blurry bus window, he saw the rain and the light mixed together outside the window, looking obscure and blurry.

The night sky was dark and thick.

The road ahead was dreary and hazy.

Only the raindrops were flying around the whole city relentlessly.

A whistling and pattering rain.
