The King of Special Warfare

The delicate boat stopped slowly on the shore.

The woman in the gazebo no longer had the heart to play chess. She looked at Li Tianlan and Huangfu Qiushui standing on the boat, fell silent for a while, and said softly, "Old man, I'll go talk to him."

Di Que nodded and didn't say much.

The woman turned and left.

Amid the hurried footsteps, a middle-aged man walked up to the gazebo with a solemn expression.

There was a jug of wine warmed in the tray, a plate of peanuts, and nothing else.

The man nodded to the woman, and walked slowly into the gazebo.

Di Que had already stood up, and his body was getting straighter and straighter. He was lowering his head at this moment, playing with the black and white pieces on the chessboard. This game is far from the final stage, and naturally there is no winner.

The old man held the white chess piece, and the move was not subtle, but the black flag he held in the other hand made frequent moves. The strangling of the black and white chess completely turned into a one-sided crushing. Qi could no longer recover, and slowly laughed, happy like a child.

The middle-aged man was holding a tray and stood motionless in front of the old man. Looking at his smile, his heart suddenly soured, and his voice became hoarse: "Old ancestor, the wine you want."

"Tonghui, sit down."

Di Que waved his hand with a smile, motioning for the middle-aged man to sit down: "How is our Yangyang and your little Baoer?"

"Very well, I told me some time ago that I'm going to travel after graduation."

The middle-aged man felt uncomfortable, but he forced himself to smile and said that he is Jiang Tonghui, the younger brother of Jiang Tongye, the patriarch of the Jiang family. He can be said to be the real No. 2 in the Jiang family. He was full of energy, but his heart was empty.

Di Que's surname is not Jiang.

When Jiang's old man brought him into this small island, not to mention Jiang Tonghui and others, even their father was still a child. By the time they were born, Di Que had already become a famous sword in the dark world. He has been staying on this small island for many years, and because of his existence, the Canglan Jiang family has become the most powerful sword-wielding family in decades.

Di Que's surname is not Jiang, but he is the person with the highest status in the Jiang family. Whether it is before or after he sealed the knife, this old man who really dedicated his life to Cang Lan and to the Jiang family never interfered. Jiang's affairs, most of the time, he stayed in this gazebo, looking at the rushing river and the mighty North Sea.

He was silent, but the entire Jiang family became extremely confident because of his presence.

But today...

The corners of Jiang Tonghui's mouth moved,

Suddenly whispered: "Old Ancestor, there is still time..."

With a trembling and painful voice, he muttered to himself, "It's still too late."

After more than 20 years of Feng Dao's cultivation, Di Que forcibly recovered to his peak state at the age of more than 90 years old. It is destined to take time. If he doesn't want to die, there may not be no way now.

Di Que glanced at him, and for the first time his eyes flashed a sharpness like a knife's edge.

"Do you know what you're talking about?"

Jiang Tonghui lowered his head and gritted his teeth: "Old Ancestor, I'm not afraid of death. Jiang's current island was built with our blood. If possible, I would like to personally bring Jiang's elite to fight Li Tianlan. The big deal... .”

"You can't represent Jiang."

Di Que said calmly: "In the eyes of those who are interested, if I don't fight, no matter how many Jiang's come out, they are all cowards."

"It has nothing to do with cowardice."

Jiang Tonghui whispered: "It's just worth it."

Di Que looked up at him, quietly, without saying a word.

"This time, it's obvious that His Majesty didn't do a good job. It doesn't matter right or wrong, but he didn't have many things last night. That's why Li Tianlan swept Beihai today. Strictly speaking, what Li Tianlan wants is just an explanation. It's about Dibing Mountain, I don't think it's worth it for the ancestor to fight with him, and many people don't think it's worth it either."

Jiang Tonghui said hurriedly.

Di Que looked at him and suddenly laughed: "Who else thinks it's not worth it?"

Jiang Tonghui's face paled slightly, but he didn't speak.

"Wang Xiaoyao? Or Wang Qinglei?"

Di Que took the initiative to ask.

Jiang Tonghui smiled bitterly, but stopped talking.

"Stay away from them."

Di Que said calmly: "My surname is not Jiang, but I have always regarded myself as a member of the Jiang family, and the Jiang family has always regarded me as their own. Now in the family, I have the highest seniority. I have never asked you to What, but recently..."

Di Que looked into his eyes: "I have to ask you. Or an order, stay away from them. I will talk to your elder brother later. During this time, you put down the things in the clan and go out to relax."

"Old Ancestor..."

Jiang Tonghui's face changed slightly: "Why?"

"To keep you alive. To keep the Jiang family intact."

Di Que snorted coldly, and said slowly: "Do you dare to participate in the internal affairs of the Wang family? Pig brains! You don't know whether it's an enemy or a friend, so why do you dare to participate? I'm not sure about Wang Qinglei, but how can Wang Xiaoyao be so simple?" ? You are a member of the Jiang family, a member of the Jian family, and it is the responsibility of the Jian family to protect the Wang family, but there are some things that cannot be touched, don't you understand?"

Di Que paused for a moment, then laughed at himself: "As for me being an old man... Hey... My grandson's son can fall in love with your daughter. If I live for my sake, what else can I not see?" It's open?"

He popped a drop of wine from the jug and wrote four words on the table.

"For hundreds of years, this has been the insistence of the Jiang family. I have lived for a long time and I dare not live up to these four words. You are a brat, and you can't live up to these four words. You are not worthy, understand? "

Loyalty and fearlessness.

Jiang Tonghui looked at the handwriting written by Di Que and remained silent.

Di Que waved his hand: "You go."

Jiang Tonghui stood up, turned around slowly, and walked out of the pavilion.

A wind blew up on the Canglan River.

The wind blows through the gazebo, and the rain pours in obliquely.

Sitting alone in the gazebo, Di Que squeezed a peanut into his mouth, looked at the four words on the table, and stared at them in silence for a long time.

 …

The boat stopped on the shore.

Li Tianlan still stepped on the flat ground with his bare feet, quietly staring at everything on the island.

Countless sword intents flew from the center of the island and gathered in front of him, layer upon layer. The Void Sword was constantly vibrating in the center of the island, forming a connection with the thirteen-storey building. From the shore to the center of the island, the sword intent all the way However, almost all of them are in the domain of the Thirteenth Floor.

Li Tianlan felt everything around him through the domain, and was silent for a long time.

"Your Highness has worked hard all the way. I have already prepared a banquet. If Your Highness doesn't mind, you can try our Canglan special food."

Jiang Tonghui, the patriarch of the Jiang clan, led the two to the island with a steady voice.

This Jiang family patriarch who is over fifty years old can be said to be the most low-key of the seven sword-wielding families. Before Di Que sealed the sword, the Jiang family was completely shrouded in the light of Di Que's sword. Jiang Hongwei's Emperor Jiang became more and more dazzling under Wang Tianzong's teaching. Jiang Tonghui, the patriarch of the seven sword-wielding families, is the most easily overlooked one, but in Li Tianlan's eyes, he is also the most unfathomable one.

Li Tianlan glanced at him, and suddenly said: "Before I came to Canglan, I have heard that among the seven sword-wielding families, the Jiang family is the most powerful. There are sword formations and sword formations, fire formations, ice formations, and thunder formations. Layer upon layer. , can evolve a real invincible formation, is it because you look down on me too much, or does the invincible formation not need the cooperation of many people at all?"

In his perception, the island was completely empty.

It may not be accurate to say that it is empty.

But in all directions, Li Tianlan never felt the slightest bit of hostility or killing intent, everywhere was peaceful, as if everyone regarded him as a real guest who came to Canglan.

"It's because we think highly of Your Highness."

Jiang Tonghui said quietly: "Even the invincible array can't exert much power in front of the thirteenth floor. In this case, why bother? The ancestor is already waiting for His Highness. When His Highness is ready, the Old Ancestor will fight against His Highness." .”

"The Heavenly Sword Emperor is missing?"

Li Tianlan raised his eyebrows: "Only him?"

"One person is enough."

Jiang Tonghui said in a deep voice: "The ancestor can't win alone, and neither can the Jiang family. If the ancestor can beat you alone, why do you need others?"

Li Tianlan slowly put away the domain of the Thirteenth Floor.

He was already prepared, maybe he would not meet Dijiang during his trip to Canglan, but he never thought that he would not even see Jiang's Invincible Formation.

Here, he has only one opponent.

The Heavenly Sword Emperor is missing.

This battle is destined to be extremely tragic, but for the entire Jiang family, it is the best way to take over.

Li Tianlan finally saw the grandeur and calmness of a truly wealthy family in Jiang's body.

Even if Jiang shi does not move in the invincible formation, Di Que alone takes out the sword, looking at the entire Beihai, who would dare to say that Jiang shi did not go all out?

"Lead the way."

Li Tianlan said calmly: "Whether this battle wins or loses, I will respect the old man."

"Whether this battle wins or loses, I will offer a toast to His Highness."

Jiang Tonghui stretched out his hand sideways, neither humble nor overbearing: "If you win, I respect your majesty's brilliance, if you lose, I respect your majesty's courage."

Li Tianlan let out a long laugh, and led Huangfu Qiushui directly to the building complex on the island.

On the island, Jiang's Fearless Hall, which was only opened when he received the most important guests, was filled with the aroma of wine and food.

Jiang Tonghui brought Li Tianlan and Huangfu Qiushui to the front of Wuwei Hall, stretched out his hand and said please, but he didn't go in.

Li Tianlan didn't think too much, and pushed open the door casually.

Under the gloomy sky, there was a soft light in the Fearless Hall, and the light spilled from every corner of the hall, filling the entire hall.

Li Tianlan froze for a moment.

In a hall full of light sat a woman.

The woman was wearing a black ancient costume embroidered with golden patterns, with loose sleeves and coiled hair. Her beautiful face without any traces of time was calm. Her deep eyes looked at Li Tianlan quietly, and she said no. Exalted dignity and peace.

Li Tianlan suddenly heard Wang Tianzong from the last night in Eastern Europe.

Under the extreme night sky, the sword emperor who swept the world is also wearing a black ancient costume embroidered with golden patterns, which is also inviolable.

He looked at the woman's face.

That beautiful face was plain with a touch of majesty, imperceptibly diluting the enchanting touch between her brows.

Li Tianlan had never seen her.

But this face does seem familiar.

This face is very similar to Wang Yuetong.

No, it should be said that Wang Yuetong's appearance is very similar to her.

His heart moved slightly.

Huangfu Qiushui's soft voice behind him has already sounded: "Teacher?"

She was a little pleasantly surprised, and trotted to the woman's side, her incomparably charming little face suddenly became a little aggrieved, she pulled the woman's sleeve, hesitating to speak.

Based on this sentence alone, Li Tianlan has no doubts about the woman's identity.

The mistress of the Wang family of Beihai.

summer solstice.

It was not Di Que who was waiting in the Palace of Fearlessness, but Xia Zhi, who Li Tianlan had never thought of. She came to Canglan in person.

Xia Zhi gently held Huangfu Qiushui's palm, and laughed softly: "Is Qiushui lost?"

Huangfu Qiushui blushed a little, and secretly glanced at Li Tianlan.

She knew that the teacher was talking about Qiu Shuijian, but at this moment, she felt that the teacher meant something.

"It doesn't matter."

Xia Zhi pulled her to sit beside her, stroked her soft hair, and said softly: "I'll let the old man here get it back for you later, if he can't get it back, you can get it back yourself when you become stronger."

Huangfu Qiushui was silent, and nodded obediently.

Xia Zhi turned to look at Li Tianlan whose expression was still calm, and smiled lightly: "This is the first time we have met."

Li Tianlan coughed and nodded.

Even though he had grudges with Wang Tian, ​​he didn't have any ill feeling toward this mistress of the Beihai Wang family who had always ignored world affairs, and because of Wang Yuetong's relationship, he always felt a little weird about Xia Zhi.

"I've always wanted to chat with you, but I didn't find the right opportunity."

Xia Zhi got up and poured a glass of wine for Li Tianlan himself.

She sat down again, with an elegant and gentle posture: "Do you have to go to Dibing Mountain?"

Li Tianlan slowly stretched out his hand to hold the wine glass, nodded: "We must go."

"What if I make a move?"

Xia Zhi looked at her with calm eyes: "You are very strong now, and Thirteenth Floor is also very strong, but I can be sure that if I make a move, you will not be able to go to Dibing Mountain, and you will not even be able to leave Canglan City."

Li Tianlan drank the wine in his glass, looked at Xia Zhi, and said seriously: "I am indeed not your opponent now, but I heard that you are not in good health. If you and I fight, I don't know if I will die, but You must die."

"As you said, I'm not sure if I will die, but if I make a move, you will definitely die."

Xia Zhi said calmly.

Li Tianlan was silent for a while, and asked, "Do you dare to do it?"

"Why not?"

Xia Zhi asked with a smile.

Li Tianlan raised his eyebrows, and said calmly: "If you dare to do something, the Sword Emperor would have killed me in Eastern Europe back then."

This is a problem that the dark world is well aware of.

Wang Tianzong killed the traitor tyrant in Eastern Europe.

But he didn't kill Li Kuangtu and Li Tianlan, not because he didn't want to, but because he couldn't.

It is precisely because of this that the Dark World finally determined that Wang Tianzong's condition was very bad. If he was really still in his heyday, he would kill Li Kuangtu without hesitation. Even if he didn't kill Li Tianlan, he would completely shatter him. With all his foundations, the reason why he didn't do this is that the whole dark world thinks that it's because Wang Tianzong's injuries have almost gotten out of control. With his injuries still unhealed, he obviously doesn't want to face Li Tianlan and the whole world after Li Kuangtu's death. It's all purgatory, and even the complex situation where Li's power has been hidden for many years is crazy to counterattack. After all, even if Beihai is not afraid of foreign enemies, there are still internal troubles now.

"I'm different from him."

Xia Zhi said softly: "Women are crazy, especially when they really fall in love with a man, she is willing to do anything for her man and bear any consequences."

Her eyes were very indifferent: "Tian Zong dare not do it, but I dare, I have no responsibility as the patriarch, I have always been a very selfish woman, killing you, what about Beihai, how about the seven sword-wielding families, I don't care, in my heart, as long as my man and my child live well, I am satisfied, even if Beihai is ruined, what does it matter to me? My family may be enough."

She tilted her head: "Back then, Tian Zong was not well prepared and didn't dare to take action against Li Kuangju. It was I who united Kunlun City and set off a case of treason. I dared to do what he didn't dare to do. Why do you think I don't dare?"

"The three demon legions you met in Qiushui, do you know their identities?"

Xia Zhi looked at Li Tianlan quietly: "Before they turned into demons, one was my father and the other two were my uncles. Tianlan, I sent them out because I really wanted to kill you."

Li Tianlan's palm trembled suddenly, and a little of the wine in the glass spilled out.

He looked up at Xia Zhi.

Xia Zhi was also looking at him, her beautiful face expressionless.

Li Tianlan was silent for a long time before slowly saying: "If that's really the case..."

He picked up the chopsticks and pointed to the sumptuous food and drink in front of him: "Why don't you kill me?"

"Because I don't want to."

Xia Zhi smiled.

She spoke the truth.

She dared to kill Li Tianlan, and she did it before, so it's not that she didn't dare, but she was reluctant.

It's not that he can't bear Beihai, but Wang Tianzong.

Even though it is a world without light and a world without dreams, but he is still there, even if he cannot be seen temporarily, for her, such a world is still extremely beautiful.

Li Tianlan was silent for a moment, and asked, "How is the Sword Emperor's injury?"

"very bad."

Xia Zhi said slowly: "That sword caused him a lot of trouble, and this is also the purpose of my coming to see you today."

Li Tianlan looked at her without saying a word.

"Eastern Europe's sword is almost eternal. To be able to achieve this sword, the reincarnation palace master is partly the reason, Xuanyuan Feng is also partly the reason, and the thirteenth floor is the main reason, right?"

Xia Zhi said softly, her tone was extremely strong, without any room for discussion: "I want to take a look at the thirteenth floor sword array."

Li Tianlan raised his eyebrows.

He thought about it seriously, and opened his palms.

Countless sword qi began to change around him.

One after another, delicate little swords emerged beside him.

The sky is on Lingtai Mountain.

The magic soldiers are painting Loushan.

There are still eleven swords left in the thirteenth floor.

Eleven swords slowly rotated around him, with some extremely profound rules.

Li Tianlan looked at Xia Zhi calmly and calmly.

He didn't believe that there was no one else in this world who could understand the Thirteenth Floor except himself.

Wang Tianzong might be able to.

But he was destined not to see it.

Xia Zhi watched quietly for a long time.

The thirteen-story building with only eleven swords left has two obvious flaws.

But that defect is so obvious, and it is like some kind of trap, with endless changes.

The endless sword intent built a nearly eternal sword array, carrying Xuanyuan Feng's own spirituality, operating autonomously.

Xia Zhi couldn't describe that feeling.

If you have to describe it, maybe there is only one word.

vast.

The vastness is like the starry sky, it is a kind of almost infinite power.

Xia Zhi took a deep breath, her expression was solemn, even filled with awe: "This is the most perfect sword formation I have ever seen in my life."

Li Tianlan looked at her without saying a word.

Xia Zhi was silent for a while, then suddenly said: "I know a name."

Li Tianlan raised his eyebrows and subconsciously asked, "Who?"

"East City Emperor Map."

Xia Zhi said calmly.

Li Tianlan's heart beat suddenly faster: "What kind of person is he...she?"

Xia Zhi looked at him with complicated eyes: "I said, I know a name, but I only know one name."

"This name is what Tian Zong heard from Qin Weibai, Dongcheng Huangtu... She said he is the pride of heaven."

"He said that in the last battle of Dongcheng Huangtu before his death, people from the Wang family of Beihai participated, and there was a woman among them."

Li Tianlan looked at her.

"not me."

Xia Zhi said calmly: "Before Qin Weibai mentioned this name, I didn't know who Dongcheng Huangtu was at all, and I can tell you with certainty that for the past two hundred years, the female invincible realm belonging to the Wang family of Beihai has been invincible so far. , I am the only one, including the seven major sword-wielding families in Beihai, for nearly two hundred years, women have been invincible, and I am also the only one."

"But I didn't participate in the siege of Dongcheng Huangtu, and I don't even know who he is."

"The Wang family of Beihai activated all the intelligence systems, trying to find any clues about Dongcheng Huangtu..."

Xia Zhi looked into Li Tianlan's eyes: "Do you want to know our conclusion?"

Li Tianlan's mouth twitched.

Xia Zhi said slowly: "There is no Dongcheng Huangtu. There is no Tianjiao. Dongcheng Huangtu, this person does not exist at all. This is our conclusion."

She looked at Li Tianlan and said in a strange voice, "Then how did the thirteenth floor building come about?"
