Chapter 244 Day Seven · An Enclosed Hunt

As the last flicker of darkness faded, Shinichi Miyamoto lifted his hand.

There was no hesitation or pause. There was only a plain, simple command echoing evenly in the sky.

“Attack!”

There was no need to hesitate to attack.

For Shinichi Miyamoto, Zhongzhou State wouldn’t be a friend of his country after the battle of Changdao was over, no matter what would happen next.

So, he launched attacks and got them knocked out first.

Figures all over the mountains and the fields moved instantly.

But it was Li Tianlan who moved first.

In the heavy rain, the white shadow was full of extremely decisive momentum from head to toe.

He was getting faster and faster, and his momentum was growing more violent.

He charged forward alone.

A torrent of hot water suddenly appeared in the air high above the curtain of rain, from which darkness abated and brightness dominated.

Wisps of electricity flickered in the fiery red torrent, which spread out from the sky to the ground and radiated its brightest glow in the fading light of darkness.

Holding the silvery Sky Halberd, Li Tianlan rushed into the enemy group in an instant, with the surging torrent.

The rain kept falling from high above.

The torrent was boiling in the sky.

The torrent of more than a hundred meters moved forward with great strength and vigor, and with scorching heat, it covered the enemy group in a very short time, like the Milky Way falling from the sky.

“Kill!”

An endless blaze was set off in the deluge of rain. In the gorgeous and almost dazzling light, Li Tianlan wielded the Sky Halberd in his hands like crazy. The flames roared through the enemy with the halberd, emitting infinite killing intent.

Silent battlefield, messy storm, and raging fire.

A person was charging, but countless people were retreating.

At this moment, the viewers would never forget this picture. Because in this battlefield permeated by dead silence, only the place where the white shadow was at was so vivid and bloody.

It was a kind of momentum which was powerful enough to overwhelm an army, lofty and mighty.

Silver light shone in an unbridled way in the fire that was powerful enough to burn the sky. Blood flew upward like waves in the firelight. The trees fell one by one, and plenty of bodies were sent flying into the air. The crowd was flustered, and they kept retreating out of instinct. The white shadow that was surrounded by the crowd had killing intent circled him, showing that he had fought to his heart’s content. The silver light that kept soaring into the sky was clearly conveying a message to all the enemy.

All of you.

Were nonentities!

“Kill him!”

Almost at the same time, Shinichi Miyamoto and the people in charge of the five forces spoke in unison, though they stood in different positions.

Their faces were overcast with gloominess and anger. When a large number of soldiers had reached the city gates, a young man from Zhongzhou State unexpectedly charged alone. It was a shame for all of them.

Shinichi Miyamoto even took one step forward, intending to do it himself.

“I’ll go.”

A voice sounded behind Shinichi Miyamoto. A pure white figure hurled himself straight toward Li Tianlan.

The figure was Bai Ye, the right advisor of Wuji Palace, an expert whose strength was extremely close to the Half-step Invincible Realm.

Shinichi Miyamoto narrowed his eyes and said no more.

And in another location, in the camp of the Jiang family of South America, a woman code-named Rose also quietly began to move toward the direction of Li Tianlan.

Before joining the Jiang family of South America, Rose was a top-notch agent of Star State who was adept at sneak attack and assassination. Qin Weibai had fallen into the hands of the Jiang family of South America, so their only target now was Li Tianlan. They asked nothing else. For Rose, the sooner she brought Li Tianlan back, the better.

Glacier and Tide, the two top guards of the royal family, were also moving, not toward Li Tianlan but the village in front of them.

The two walked to the front of Shinichi Miyamoto, looking at the crowd that appeared very distinct in the light of the dawn in the village.

“Does Zhongzhou State dare to fight me?”

The Glacier opened his mouth, his face expressionless. He didn’t mention any names, and he didn’t have to do so. On this battlefield, each one of the enemies represented Zhongzhou State.

Did Zhongzhou State dare to fight him?

“We accept your challenge!”

A clear voice suddenly cut through the clouds. Before the person arrived, the sound began to echo through the upper air.

Killing intent simultaneously permeated every place the sound passed.

The sound was familiar to everyone from Zhongzhou State.

It was the voice of Gongsun Qi, the General of Nine Heavens of Zhongzhou State. His words were insipid and simple. “Kill them!”

There were no orders to retreat or break out of the encirclement.

He ordered his men to kill the enemy.

The white figure ahead, who was claimed to be a young Heavenly Son, was charging alone.

One man still chose to lead the charge. They, however, represented a nation. How could they retreat? How dared they retreat?

“Kill!”

A burst of uniform growls broke out from the village that was crowded with elites from Zhongzhou State. In the pouring rain, team after team of elites rushed up.

The whole battlefield centered around the village suddenly became a very cruel meat mincer. Blood splashed, and bodies flew. Flickering light and shadows spread and interweaved on the front line and finally turned into one.

Zhongzhou State was in the rear.

But Li Tianlan was in the front.

In the midst of the countless enemy troops, the silvery sword intent broke out without a stop like a mountainous wave. Silver light drove the flames to leave myriads of natural arcs behind as they swept across the battlefield. Blood kept splashing in the air. Li Tianlan, who had been desperate, was totally exhausting himself at all costs. His absolute willpower kept him in his most sober and impassive state of killing. The cannon fodder which was forced to the forefront of the frontline by Shinichi Miyamoto could only consume his physical strength passively.

Advancing.

Advancing straight ahead.

The Sky Halberd had become a murderous weapon which was used to harvest human lives. On a battlefield of this scale, where weapons of mass destruction were severely limited, the two-meter-long Sky Halberd was more effective than any firearm or sword. The halberd swept through the crowd, leaving behind it a mass of blood. Thick blood fell on the ground with the rain, and the land, which was gradually turning red, was covered with light and shadows. Walls of ice formed and then broke around Li Tianlan one after another. A barrage of bullets came from every direction but was constantly blocked by the walls of ice. Li Tianlan’s figure was sometimes clear and sometimes blurred inside the ice walls. Only his white clothes were still pure white as snow, without any blood on it.

The enemy troops retreated around Li Tianlan, howling in despair. The figures in front of him were becoming fewer and fewer. And finally, there was only a person in white standing before him.

Li Tianlan’s expression grew calmer and even softer.

Bai Ye, the right advisor of Wuji Palace, who was dressed in white too, stood in front of Li Tianlan. He had a smile on his face, but his eyes appeared unusually cruel and indifferent.

“That’s it.”

He said, looking into Li Tianlan’s eyes.

Li Tianlan walked straight to Bai Ye without a stop.

The distance between the two had been narrowing, but the surrounding East Island cannon fodder desperately kept away from them.

“Where’s she?”

Li Tianlan looked at Bai Ye and asked.

“I don’t know.”

Bai Ye’s tone was cold.

Li Tianlan nodded and said, “Hmm, then you can die.”

He raised the halberd.

The silvery flowing light was like a phantom. The moment Bai Ye’s eyes flickered, the Sky Halberd had chopped down from the air with sharp and immense sword intent.

“Clang!!!”

A large number of sparks burst out at the first moment when the weapons collided. Bai Ye subconsciously pulled out his saber and lifted his arm. The saber was held vertically and directly blocked Li Tianlan’s halberd falling from the sky.

The mighty force fell through the air, causing Bai Ye to shake violently and bend suddenly.

A single blow.

With a single blow, Bai Ye’s feet sank straight into the ground.

Li Tianlan’s figure took two steps back in the air and tilted its head.

“I’m in a hurry.”

He said, “You are slightly inferior to Yuekong.”

“Is it?”

Bai Ye, with his feet and even calves buried in the ground, laughed coldly with a grim and strange look. “Yuekong did die at your hands.”

“You’ll end up like him.”

Li Tianlan added calmly, “I’ll kill you right now.”

The Sky Halberd slanted downward. Li Tianlan stood in the air, and with a shock of his arm, the halberd stabbed straight down.

At this moment, the silver Human Emperor and Li Tianlan seemed to become a whole utterly.

The surging sword intent was replaced by the crazy killing intent.

It was not a unique technique.

Strength!

It was pure strength!

It was a kind of momentum that was hard to describe. Li Tianlan’s movements were full of indomitable aggressiveness and resolution at any moment.

Bai Ye burst out laughing. He looked up at the silver light in the air and suddenly leaped up from the ground. The long saber swung from below into the air. A flash of faint blue semicircle saber radiance suddenly appeared in the rain curtain.

The saber radiance spread tens of meters into the air. It tangled with the raging fire beneath the silver light and stirred wildly.

Amidst the dazzling light and shadows, dozens of meters away from them, a man and a woman quietly ran through the fleeing East Island cannon fodder.

The curtain of rain fell, and the light diffused.

A man and a woman, who were moving toward the same place from different directions, continued to move on. Their shadows faded and then disappeared into the void.

At such a subtle moment, the man and woman not far apart seemed to perceive each other’s presence at the same time.

The two looked at each other with cold eyes.

The man recognized the woman’s origin.

She was Rose from the Jiang family of South America.

Rose recognized the man’s origin as well.

He was Red Flame, the chief knight of Knights Templars.

There was no doubt that it was an enclosed hunt.

And the prey was Li Tianlan.

It was tacit understanding, but in essence, it was mutual competition.

The battle was carried on.

In the heavy rain, when the crisis broke out, who would seize the victory?
