The King of Special Warfare Chapter 356 - The Shattering of the Void

“For the more important things, you should not make decisions in a hurry. It’s not bad to slow down.”

Gu Xingyun played with the pieces in his hand and spoke thoughtfully.

He was not usually a talkative man. He especially didn’t like being lectured. In Zhongzhou people’s eyes, Gu Xingyun was always refined and resourceful. He often kept silent, but as long as he spoke, others would not be able to refute. Such silence was undoubtedly more powerful and impressive than the so-called speaking unceasingly.

However, it seemed that the injury had changed Gu Xingyun’s temperament. In the recent period, he had been with Gu Qianchuan. When they had been chatting, Gu Xingyun had been talking more and more.

Gu Qianchuan knew what this meant. He also knew that Gu Xingyun did not like him, but he was more certain that Gu Xingyun could only trust him now.

He liked Li Xi, but he dared not to trust her.

…

In the entire Kunlun City, only he had great power and was consistent with his general direction.

Gu Xingyun did not want to see Kunlun City decline.

Nor did Gu Qianchuan.

That was the bottom line.

All contradictions were negligible in front of the bottom line.

Thus, Gu Xingyun had been talking a lot with confidence and composure in the past few days. Actually, he had taught him how to take charge of Kunlun City in a very gentle way.

Gu Qianchuan was not averse to this point.

Regarding the sensitivity to authority, Gu Xingyun was much better than him.

He nodded and waited for Gu Xingyun to continue.

“The crisis inside the w.a.n.g family of Beihai is great. So, it’s an opportunity for everyone. All groups of Zhongzhou State look quiet, but they must have been secretively prepared. Kunlun City should neither take action nor stay still. For us, the Li family is an attractive piece of meat. When the final maneuver is over, I must rest at ease after Li Tianlan dies. This period is a good opportunity for Kunlun City.”

Gu Xingyun slowly put down a piece on the board.

His eyes flashed in the light, with countless plots and thoughts.

“What should I do?”

Gu Qianchuan seriously asked.

Li Qingcheng brought two cups of tea and came over. Putting the tea in front of the two people, she sat at the tea table, put his head in her hands, and looked at the chess game that was being played out. Her eyes were sparkling, but she was quiet and gentle.

Gu Xingyun glanced at her and whispered without hesitation, “Things changed in Snow Country.”

Gu Qianchuan raised his eyes and said in a heavy voice, “It’s more than a change. It’s a great change!”

The internal strife of the Polar Ground Alliance had lasted for three years. Now, it was out of control. In the past two months, three giants had been destroyed in Eastern Europe. All were the backbone force of the Polar Ground Alliance. Two came from Snow Country. In the chaotic Dark World, all superpowers focused on Snow Country, like sharks that smelled blood. If there were no accident, Snow Country would become the ground of the final battle of all dark forces when the Polar Ground Alliance collapsed.

There was only a lack of opportunity.

“The matter of Snow Country has nothing to do with you.”

Gu Xingyun said flatly, “The final battle is unlikely to happen these days. It’s at least after the final maneuver. When Li Tianlan dies, the Li family will inevitably fall into chaos, and the Samsara Palace will be influenced. n.o.body knows what Qin Weibai will do. Perhaps this will become an opportunity for the final battle. At that time, when everybody looks away, you can go to Wuyue to contact w.a.n.g Qinglei, show your att.i.tude, and seize the chance to eliminate the Li family.”

He picked up his teacup and took a sip, whispering, “Jiangzhe is originally out of his reach. As long as we support him, he is likely to give us a favor with Jiangzhe. The battle of Snow Country is too far and great. Let them fight for it. I want to think of immediate interests. As long as we can smoothly take Jiangzhe, we’ll be benefited anyway.”

“Jiangzhe?”

Gu Qianchuan muttered to himself, “It’s not difficult to eliminate the Li family, but it’s not easy to take Jiangzhe. Wu Zhengmin is influential; Zou Yuanshan went to Jiangzhe, the Giant Group…”

“The Giant Group is a minor worry.”

Gu Xingyun shook his head. “The Military Ministry agreed to this plan of the final maneuver. Dongcheng Rushi abstained today. That’s clear enough.”

“This is…”

Gu Qianchuan raised his eyebrows. “You mean that Dongcheng Wudi has given up on Li Tianlan?”

“Is that a surprise?”

Gu Xingyun said in a weird tone, “If the Military Ministry wants to intervene in Sky Academy’s final maneuver, the price it may pay is its control right over the Border Control Corps. Will they exchange hundreds of thousands of troops for Li Tianlan? Is Li Tianlan worth that much? By what?”

Gu Qianchuan’s eyes became brighter and brighter.

If Dongcheng Wudi gave up on Li Tianlan, the Li family would be destroyed. Zou Yuanshan did not have to keep Jiangzhe. Vaguely, it was in a good situation now.

Suddenly, Li Qingcheng said softly and tenderly, “If Dongcheng Wudi doesn’t give up on Li Tianlan? Or, Li Tianlan… wins the final maneuver?”

…

She was definitely a girl that could make anyone feel comfortable. She was agile, tender, charming, and youthful, but she was not sharp or aggressive.

Gu Xingyun was stupefied.

He then shook his head and said calmly, “It’s meaningless. Not to mention that he can’t win, even if he can be incredibly powerful in the end, he can’t go out of Sky Academy.”

His eyes were thought-provoking. “Qianchuan, it’s estimated that even if you don’t launch attacks, w.a.n.g Tianzong will have been tempted to kill him.

“In Zhongzhou State, n.o.body can stop the w.a.n.g family of Beihai. Like in this day and age, n.o.body can stop w.a.n.g Tianzong.”

“w.a.n.g Tianzong will kill Li Tianlan? Why?”

Li Qingcheng seemed to be a bit curious.

“He is too strong, so he must die. If he dies in the final maneuver, he will die for he is not strong enough,” said Gu Xingyun indifferently.

…

Li Qingcheng paused for a while and whispered, “Heavenly Sons live a hard life.”

Gu Xingyun smiled and thought his daughter’s words were true.

Everyone was suffering, so were Heavenly Sons.

They were arrogant, ambitious, unscrupulous, supercilious, and overbearing. Even if they were matchless in the world, powerful and influential, what could they do?

There had never been real relaxation and pride in the world.

Even if he were terrific, Li Tianlan would struggle for survival and the Li family’s future.

Even if he were strong enough, w.a.n.g Shengxiao would face the next fierce game of the w.a.n.g family of Beihai.

Even if he were calm, Gu Hanshan would inevitably be targeted by Gu Qianchuan during his recovery, and he would have a hard time.

Even if she were low-key, would Jiang Shangyu endure silently and struggle for the further improvement of the Jiang family?

The more dazzling it seemed, the lonelier and bitter it actually was.

“What a pity!”

Gu Xingyun said softly, “If he is willing to lower his head, Kunlun City may give Li Tianlan a chance to live.”

He glanced at Li Qingcheng.

If so, he would be willing to marry his daughter, who was destined to have infinite brilliance, to Li Tianlan.

Such a talent would deserve to get roped in by any forces.

“He?”

Gu Qianchuan sneered with distain in his eyes. “He’s so confident to think that he’s invincible among the younger generation. He joined the group maneuver alone. How arrogant and ignorant is he? Does he really think he can win?”

“It should be.”

Gu Xingyun nodded. “His confidence is a disguise.”

Gu Qianchuan was more upset. He frowned and said gloomily, “Since he is looking for death, we should not hesitate. Heaven wants to destroy the Li family. If we don’t kill him, won’t we be going against Heaven?”

Gu Xingyun said nothing.

He suddenly recalled the end of today’s symposium.

When he had left the meeting room, Li Tianlan had bent down and taken off his shoes.

At that time, Gu Xingyun had felt that his action was absurd.

Thinking about it now, he still felt ridiculous.

“Why did he take off his shoes when he left today?”

Gu Qianchuan shook his head and did not care about that young nonent.i.ty. “Hanshan and w.a.n.g Shengxiao have a.n.a.lyzed that Li Tianlan should be extremely powerful right now. However, he’s so fragile that he can’t withstand their full a.s.sault. What do you think?”

Gu Xingyun nodded and said, “There should be no mistakes. The time he spent on cultivation again is too short. It took him only three years to reach this point, so he must adopt the most extreme approach. The only feasible way is to drop his defenses and pursue absolute strength. With the Wind and Thunder Veins, he can afford this.”

Gu Qianchuan spoke and reached for the teacup.

Bang…

A soft sound came from the chessboard.

Before Gu Qianchuan’s hand touched the cup, it was torn apart by an invisible force.

Cracks spread from the bottom of the cup; tea water spilled over, and soaked the chessboard.

Everyone was stunned.

Gu Xingyun, who remained calm, abruptly narrowed his eyes and reached out to stop him talking.

He immediately focused attention.

Bang… Bang…

The slightest sound was heard outside the Purple Gold Pavilion. However, it was loud in Gu Xingyun’s ears.

The banging sounded in rhyme. It was slow and powerful.

That was the sound of the heartbeat.

Everyone heard this huge and subtle heartbeat.

The heartbeat was neither too hasty nor too slow. It was getting closer and closer. From beginning to end, the frequency had not changed a bit.

Another soft noise sounded with the heartbeat.

The sound seemed to be distant, like someone stepping on the gra.s.s lightly. However, the soft footstep echoed between heaven and earth. It went through the unbreakable Purple Gold Pavilion and fell on their ears.

Gu Xingyun and Gu Qianchuan looked at each other. They saw solemnity in the other side’s eyes.

The footstep and heartbeat sounded at the same time. They were getting closer and closer.

Li Qingcheng looked pale and then turned dreadfully pale.

Unconsciously, her heartbeat was synchronized with that outside the door. Their pulses beat at the same time. The heartbeat was slow and powerful, but it was extremely oppressive. Li Qingcheng even thought that she was breathing harder due to the heartbeat.

Puff!

A mouthful of blood spurted from her mouth. She looked at Gu Xingyun and Gu Qianchuan in horror.

Gu Qianchuan’s body slowly tightened.

The light instantly went out in the Purple Gold Pavilion. The void silently appeared to wrap him, Gu Xingyun, and Li Qingcheng.

However, the heartbeat outside the door continued to sound in the void that should be silent. It sounded slowly and rhythmically.

The sound had grown faint. However, in the void that should be silent, even the faintest sound was like shocking thunder.

Gu Qianchuan suddenly turned pale.

Bang…

After the heartbeat, light and gentle footsteps stepped on the ground.

The footsteps that others had overlooked on weekdays filled the world. With the fall of the step outside the door, the solid Purple Gold Pavilion up to six levels vibrated.

This was not sword intent.

It was not momentum.

The absolute power was majestic enough to tear apart mountains and rivers and break the void.

“Go and check.”

Gu Xingyun suddenly said that his strength was substantially damaged. In the void around Gu Qianchuan, it sounded obscure and sharp.

Gu Qianchuan stood up and walked to the door with Gu Xingyun.

At this time, he did not dare to let Gu Xingyun leave.

He put his hand on the door handle, pressed the b.u.t.ton, and slowly pushed open the alloy gate, which was nearly two meters thick and five or six meters high.

Outside the door of the Purple Gold Pavilion, the night sky was dim because of the light.

In the vast pond in front of the gate, the water ran softly. However, the rockery in the water slightly vibrated with the never-ending footsteps.

Gu Xingyun looked up into the distance.

In the distant night sky, about a hundred meters away, a thin but straight figure was approaching unhurriedly.

His figure was getting closer and closer.

Gu Xingyun saw an expressionless metal mask on his face.

He walked barefoot, in white.

The Purple Gold Pavilion seemed to vibrate as he moved forward.

The huge heartbeat constantly sounded, sweeping all sides.

Gu Xingyun’s pupils suddenly contracted and looked ridiculous.

The metal mask could not cover anything.

Obviously, the man did not plan to cover anything with this mask.

Li Tianlan!

They thought that Li Tianlan could only play hard with the younger generation, and he could not win. In a flash, he appeared alone in front of the two men of the Invincible Realm from Kunlun City.

Gu Xingyun was turbulent inside but forced himself to calm. He said coldly, “What are you doing here?”

Li Tianlan wore a mask.

Gu Xingyun had not identified him.

It was absolutely an opportunity for Kunlun City.

“Let me see how many dog teeth and legs you have.”

Li Tianlan’s voice was soft, but behind the mask, the eyes were full of strange and dangerous light.

He never told Gu Xingyun.

When he stepped on the ground barefoot, he could feel the heaviness of this world.

Boom!

The heartbeat sounded again.

Then, it completely returned to nirvana.

There was no more nonsense.

Li Tianlan slightly lowered his body.

He strode to make a dash.

In the dark night, a white line that pierced the darkness suddenly appeared.

The white line turned into a curtain.

Li Tianlan stepped hard on the ground.

The violent and incredibly mighty power was injected into the ground and exploded underground with a loud bang.

The six-story Purple Gold Pavilion violently shook.

In front of the gate, the vast rockery, which was tens of meters high, flew into the sky in the surging force and broke into countless stones.

The water in the pool overwhelmingly burst forth and turned into white waves and water curtains.

The Shattering of Land!

Li Tianlan rose to the sky and leaped at Gu Xingyun.

A young man, who was less than 22, took the initiative to attack the War G.o.d of Zhongzhou State.

At this moment, the night’s color, water waves, void, and white coat…

Everything seemed to be solidified.

There was only madness in the world.

Gu Xingyun stepped back and shouted, “Close the door!”

…

Li Tianlan was strong.

However, Gu Xingyun believed that he was not Gu Qianchuan’s opponent, even if he was strong enough.

The problem was that he could not trust Gu Qianchuan entirely in his heart.

Boom!

Gu Qianchuan stepped back, and the alloy gate, which was more than two meters thick, was shut down.

However, his domain contracted in the hall and became thick.

Bang!

In the next moment, the entire Purple Gold Pavilion completely flew up. The alloy gate, weighing several tons, suddenly broke into pieces. Like the hardest weapon, Li Tianlan’s figure hit against the door.

The alloy fragments flew everywhere.

Li Tianlan’s figure broke in.

Huge alloy fragments floated in the void.

Li Tianlan’s figure fell to the ground in the void, without the slightest impact.

The huge stairs of the Purple Gold Pavilion were shaking wildly.

The incredibly strong power filled every corner of the void.

The silent void suddenly melted and shattered.

Light appeared again in the hall.

The Shattering of the Void!

At this moment, Li Tianlan straightened up with strange eyes, like a demon.
