Chapter 180 - The Cage Between Heaven And Earth
Chapter 180 The Cage Between Heaven And Earth
There had never been the perfect unique technique of Martial Arts in this world.
Imperfection was not a weakness, but it was having shortcomings in some respects.
Martial Arts were perfection, and the so-called unique technique was people chasing after some kind of power when practising Martial Arts.
Like the ultimate speed, the ultimate explosive power, the ultimate sword energy, or the ultimate defense.
When they were chasing after the extremes, they had to give something up. When they didn’t need to take care of anything else, they could be fully focused, and that was what extreme was about.
The Map of God of War from the Li family was like this.
The Six Paths of Reincarnation from the Wang family of Beihai was like this.
The unique technique of Wuji Palace was also like this.
The Dark Ambush!
The key of this move was the ambush part, and also the dark part.
This move, which was claimed to be the quintessence of Wuji Palace, was worth all its praises. When Prince Renwu disappeared in front of him, Li Tianlan couldn’t spot where he was.
His figure was gone, the sword light was gone, and the lightning was gone.
Everything in front of him suddenly turned into void, all he could feel was the killing intent as if there were hundreds and thousands of swords waving in the sky, and the sharp sound started to get close. Prince Renwu’s body completely turned into nothingness. The sound of the long swords crashing together was loud, and the bright sword light was shining, bringing in more lightning.
Prince Renwu’s figure was still no where to be found.
Li Tianlan couldn’t even understand the principle behind such a unique technique, and he wasn’t going to figure it out anyway. The lightning fell down from above, and the flames suddenly went up to the sky.
The Eighth Blade of Celestial Flames!
The two shadows next to him moved in the exact same way.
He lifted up the sword and spun himself.
In the falling rain, the air within the distance of dozens of meters suddenly became dry, and the flame rose up from the ground, swallowing everything around it.
The sword light and the lightning intertwined together, and seen from afar, there seemed to be a giant, swelling fireball around Li Tianlan.
In the moment of the lightning and flame intertwining together, the fireball seemed to be stimulated heavily, and after it swelled up to the extreme, all the flames blew up.
The raging fire was like a tidal wave.
The raging fire swallowed every corner within the distance of dozens of meters, and Li Tianlan’s face looked cold while his Essence,Qi and Spirit were completely condensed together.
To some extent, this was the first time that he showed his Spiritual Inheritance and unique technique to the world.
In Huating, he used the Fifteenth Blade to kill Gu Changjiang, who was dead now.
During the black-robed man’s attack, the Shattering of Land, the sword move he used, belonged to the domain of Invincible Manual, and it wasn’t known to the public.
In Dongdu, he used it to kill Miyamoto Shinei, who was also dead now.
Under Mai Shiranui’s hunting, even in the desperate times, Li Tianlan still hid most of his strength. The Meteoric Rain of Fire which combined three swords into one was completely deformed, only leaving the wild and crazy power, which still wouldn’t expose the principle of that sword move.
And right now.
The Eighth Blade, Burning Sky!
The most complete, the clearest sword move, was seen by everyone.
That raging sword intent rose above the ground with fire, and spread around in the sky and on the ground, surging like giant tides and waves.
The extreme sword intent was unprecedentedly clear, and he wasn’t going to hide it anymore.
That was the strongest sword intent in the entire Dark World!
...
“The Eighth Blade!”
The dimly golden lightning was roaring crazily, and in a very short period of time, Holy Light had pressed down Duke with his full force. Then he turned around, and his wild attack also stopped.
This area within the distance of two hundred meters was divided into several battlefields, and everyone here was an expert. When the flames of the Eighth Blade lit up, the familiar but strange sword intent had swept through the whole place, and it was so obvious without any cover-up that it became dazzling.
“Just as I expected...”
The cold light in Holy Light’s eyes instantly disappeared, and he mumbled to himself. Before he could do anything else, Duke, who was getting weaker and weaker in the battle and had no choice but to defend himself, suddenly jumped on him.
All he could see was the dim blue light.
The dark blue lightning completely condensed in Duke’s hand, as if he was holding two sharp sabers, and they flew to Holy Light’s chest.
The lightning passed through his body along with his movement. It was raining, but the whole battlefield was already dry as a desert. The lightning exploded on the ground, blowing up big cloud of smoke and dust, and Duke’s scarlet red eyes were full of the purest evil and coldness.
The two electric sabers instantly cut Holy Light’s clothes open and continued to push forward.
The unique technique: Bloodthirst!
...
The whole battlefield was moving.
Horsewoman was in charge of guarding the wounded, and a large number of East Island elites rushed in one after another. Horsewoman’s scope of activities was getting smaller and smaller, but the lightning around her body was also getting denser and denser.
More and more East Island elites fell down on the way of charge, and Horsewoman’s elegant face became pale. When the willpower burned out, the strength and combat capability started to drop rapidly.
Enough ants could kill an elephant; this was the case.
Bai Ye and Tian Yue worked together to fight Dawn.
In that moment, it was very clear who won and who lost.
A lot of blood burst out of Tian Yue, and then he fell down, and Bai Ye, who was next to him, seemed crazy already.
Mountains fell and the earth split!
The dark green sword light spun and split in the battlefield, and the strong air flows with whistling lightning had completely wrapped up Dawn.
Quick!
Absolutely quick.
That was the indescribable high speed, and every strike fell on the deadly spot. The most powerful unique technique of Wuji Palace didn’t seem very fancy, and it was simple, but the sharp blade could cut off anything, which was the perfect combination of strength and speed. It was stable, precise and sharp, and it could crush anything!
Two white shadows intertwined together, one in the front and one in the back.
Quick!
Quicker and quicker.
Dawn’s pupils were sparkling already, and the casual and careless state was completely gone. In front of the sharpest blade that seemed to have passed the Thunder-shocking Realm, his figure lost all defense during the movement.
Attack!
He moved like a flying dragon.
He didn’t have any weapon, but everything around him could be weapons.
The thunder and lightning were dancing in front of him, and they turned into giant sabers and long swords. The weapons condensed of thunder and lightning restlessly shot to Bai Ye, shielding his every strike and then rushing to him after.
It looked like Bai Ye was attacking crazily, but in fact, he was already half in the defense state.
But Dawn hadn’t defended himself from the beginning to end, and all he did was attack!
That was a kind of momentum that people found it hard to understand, crazy and fanatical, and he would keep attacking as long as he was alive.
During his attack and retreat, Bai Ye, who was holding sabers in both of his hands but kept bleeding between his thumb and the index finger, suddenly uttered a long and loud cry.
The muscles all over his body had swollen up completely, and the white robe suddenly blew up into pieces.
The long saber chopped hard.
In that moment, all the thunder and lightning gathered on the saber blade.
The dark green aura bloomed on the long saber that seemed to able to cut the air into halves, covering up the lightning on the saber blade completely.
The whole world seemed to be in dark green.
That was an extremely powerful saber strike.
Mountains Fall and the Earth Splits: Broken Blade!
Bai Ye’s pupils had condensed into two dots, and at this moment, he also gave up all the defense; attacking and killing became his instinctive desire.
The dark green saber light pressed down the lightning and burst out from all over his body.
All the strength gathered in his arms while he was dashing forward in tiny steps.
Even if the saber could break, even if he could die.
At all costs.
In this moment, Bai Ye was still extremely close to Half-step Invincible Realm, but this saber strike was definitely a half step to Invincible Realm.
The saber blade went over his head and then fell down. There seemed to be thousands on thousands of sabers chopping at the same time.
In his sensation, apart from the blade, there was only death left.
The dark green saber light whistled crazily, covering up Bai Ye and Dawn’s battlefield, and the saber aura continued to gather and condense, and then flew to all directions. The two figures completely drowned in the saber light, and everything became a blur for a second.
“Bang!”
The crazily surging saber light finally exploded completely, the ground in the distance of dozens of meters sank abruptly, the tree roots that was buried deep in the ground got blown up in the air, and the saber light was twisting violently. In the blurry scene, Bai Ye’s defiant and furious scream was loud, but it felt weak.
A white figure with lots of blood on him rose up in the sky. As his blood drops fell along with the rain, the whole scene looked terrifying.
In the battlefield with the ground sinking for almost half a meter, Dawn stood there and put his palms together with a broken blade in between, his face looked cold and detached, and he stayed quiet while his hands were bleeding.
Bai Ye’s body was still rising up in the air, and he held the half saber blade tightly in his hand while staring at Dawn on the ground and feeling complicated inside.
At this moment, he finally understood why this superior with great strength and little exposure didn’t use the unique technique.
Because he didn’t have any.
Or to put it in another way, his every move, every attack was the unique technique itself!
It was almost at the same time.
When Bai Ye’s body rose up to the highest spot, an old, weak voice but with great momentum rang out suddenly.
In the battlefields that seemed separate but were actually connected, a figure in scarlet red robe suddenly jumped up from the ground, and rushed toward another direction.
The dim blue lightning rose up, and suddenly lit up the whole mountain forest which was in the dark a second ago like day time.
The High Priest of Ise Grand Shrine, Tian Yue!
Tian Yue, who lost to Dawn in a short period of time.
And he was rushing toward...
Horsewoman, who was watching the battlefield closely, changed her face rapidly.
Li Tianlan was in that direction.
The sword intent of the Eighth Blade had faded, and in the remaining flame, lightning was still rising. Prince Renwu’s figure had gotten close to Li Tianlan without anyone noticing.
The long saber swept away.
Tian Yue’s figure was still dashing in high speed, and in a second, he was less than ten meters from Li Tianlan.
In the fierce fight, everyone remembered their own targets.
For East Island, Li Tianlan was their target, the most important one, no any other!
“Tian Yue, how dare you?!”
Dawn, with his palms placed together in front of his chest, had a pale face, but his facial expression looked furious all of the sudden.
“Swish!”
Almost no one could see his movement clearly, but Dawn, who was dressed in white, suddenly rose up in the air.
In the blink of an eye, his figure had risen up to the high sky and became a white dot.
Tian Yue’s figure was about to get to Li Tianlan.
Less than five meters.
Horsewoman started to dash without hesitation.
“Bang!”
In the highest place of the Firmament, there seemed to be a loud sound echoing like thunder.
The weather changed suddenly.
The gloomy sky seemed to start rotating in a trance.
The white figure that rose up to the sky suddenly fell down rapidly with pale lightning and infinite killing intent.
Above the Ninth Heaven, the thunder was about to boom very soon. The thunder rumbled like the wrath of heaven!
A stern and aloof voice echoed in the high sky, and it sounded extremely furious.
“The Cage Between Heaven And Earth!”
“Swish!”
The endless thunder and lightning fell down from the high sky onto the ground like a lake or an ocean pouring down, filling all the space between heaven and earth.
Tian Yue’s body was less than three meters from Li Tianlan.
But the distance of three meters was like a heavenly gap.
His body froze abruptly. In the endless thunder and lightning, he managed to lift up his hand, bit by bit, like in slow motion.
This was domain!
This was the domain of Invincible Realm.
Although it wasn’t perfect, but it was truly the closest to the Invincible Realm.
Maybe there was the distance of a piece of paper left in between.
Dawn’s body fell from the sky, bringing endless thunder and lightning with him.
Like a deity.
“Ah!!!”
Tian Yue suddenly screamed, and in the cage formed of thunder and lightning, his whole body suddenly swelled up, after which, a big could of blood mist burst out. Inside the cage, there were thunder and lightning everywhere.
“Bam!”
A second later, the thunder and the lightning blew up.
The cage between heaven and earth broke and burst into pieces.
Tian Yue, who degraded from a half step to Invincible Realm to the ordinary Thunder-shocking Realm and was still going down, fled away from the battlefield in the highest speed without turning back.
Deep in the forest hundreds of meters away, the grand sword intent was generated again, swallowing everything.
Saint was about to arrive!
Everything was in decline.
Holy Light bit his teeth, looked at Duke in front of him reluctantly, then suddenly turned around and disappeared.
“Dong!”
Human Sovereign and the long saber crashed into each other violently, and the great power passed back and forth. Prince Renwu’s body shook violently, and the dazzling lightning and the booming thunder were all over the saber. Prince Renwu was pressing down with full force and then suddenly dispersed the energy.
Li Tianlan, who instinctively wanted to throw Prince Renwu away, suddenly blew up his strength and lifted Prince Renwu’s body up in the air.
When everyone was retreating, the Prince didn’t stayed for long. When the lightning flashed through the sky, he disappeared again.
The Dark Ambush.
But this time, he didn’t use it for ambush, but for running away.
The sword intent broke through the air, flashed and then disappeared in the forest.
Li Tianlan rushed up directly without any hesitation.
He had the Shadow Formula, the Desperate Chase of Sigh City, and the Night Walking of the Li family.
In the fight, in front of Li Tianlan, you either won or died. Runing away? What a joke.
The sword light faded away.
Prince Renwu appeared dozens of meters away, and almost in the same moment, Li Tianlan had switched places with his shadow and appeared right next to Prince Renwu.
“You think you can run away?”
He sneered, and Human Sovereign turned back into a long spear, stirring the raging fire, and then smashed down directly.
Prince Renwu also sneered.
And he was backing off.
Li Tianlan was about to chase after him, and then a familiar yet deadly sense of danger instantly wrapped up his whole body.
This was absolutely deadly danger!
Li Tianlan’s pupils suddenly contracted.
“It was too late...”
At the same time, deep in the forest less then three hundred meters away from Li Tianlan, a man who wore a formal hat let out a soft laugh, and then placed his finger on the trigger of his gun.
The night rain had wetted his whole body, and even the red scarf on his neck was wet, sticking on the ground.
But his movement was still steady. He held the gun with both hands, without any trembling.
In his sight, Li Tianlan turned around abruptly.
“Bam!”
With the gunshot that could shake the whole forest, big fire waves rushed out of the muzzle.
The fire waves condensed into threads in the air, and the threads rushed to Li Tianlan.
“Heavenly Calamity!”
At the same time, Heavenly Calamity heard Li Tianlan’s furious scream.
Three hundred meters away, he shot in a short distance.
Heavenly Calamity smirked with absolute confidence.
The blazing fire threads were burning the whole mountain forest, and some East Island elites on the road who didn’t have time to run away got shattered by a shot.
I bloomed when I killed.
Like the flowers at dawn.
Heavenly Calamity fixedly stared at Li Tianlan’s spot, and there were cruelty and coldness in his eyes.
In his sight, fresh and blood were blasting and flying, and only the fire thread was flying to Li Tianlan steadily.
Heavenly Calamity narrowed his eyes, then turned the muzzle without hesitation, and fired a shot toward another direction.
...
