The King of Special Warfare

Chapter 218 Day Four · Illusion

The luxury black car drove into Changdao downtown without disguise, and it drove through the battlefield.

On the edge of the battlefield, a big group of East Island army was gathering. Soldiers dressed in different military uniforms were scattered on the edge of the battlefield, and all kinds of heavy weapons were placed in the most obvious place.

Changdao wasn’t big, but to individuals, it was still very big. In just a couple of days, East Island had sent troops from all over the country to Changdao, and the soldiers that surrounded the battlefield had reached about a hundred thousand.

It seemed a bit unrealistic for a hundred thousand people to encircle a battlefield within a hundred miles. But with all kinds of heavy weapons and satellite surveillance, East Island could already be sure that they could reach every corner of the battlefield.

The black car passed the checkpoints that East Island army set. The soldiers guarding there didn’t even care to look at them and directly let them pass.

In seven days, people could only enter this place, but no getting out. For anyone who wanted to enter the battlefield, East Island wouldn’t stop them.

The Dark World had its own rules.

East Island also had its own rules.

All the dark superpowers fought against East Island, and East Island arranged a big battlefield. In the land of the final battle, everyone had to play by the book.

The troop of a hundred thousand soldiers that East Island placed on the edge of the battlefield could be a threat. Its prime purpose was to intercept and protect the battlefield from damage. In the distance of a hundred miles, this battlefield was big enough. In this area, for all the superpowers, they could have the battle as big and intense as they wanted. No matter who won or who lost in the end, East Island’s army wouldn’t get involved, because this was a conflict that belonged to the Dark World.

But if they tried to rush out of the big battlefield and do damage in East Island, they would be invaders, and East Island would have every reason to demolish any of the superpowers.

This was the rule.

The final battles nowadays were like killing in the Jianghu world. The authority would pay attention to it, but they wouldn’t get involved. Even if East Island’s whole army was wiped out in this final battle, they had to live with it. Once East Island broke the rule by using its army, a war will be waiting for East Island.

A real war.

Nobody wanted to see things get so serious; East Island didn’t dare to, Zhongzhou State didn’t want to, and any other superpowers would also hate to see it.

Keeping all the conflicts inside the Dark World, no matter who won or lost, everyone would get the interest they wanted without causing any disaster. Everyone wanted it this way.

The black car rushed into the demolition area on the edge of the battlefield.

In the passenger seat, Saint’s body slowly disappeared.

Till now Zhongzhou State and Samsara still hadn’t found Li Tianlan, which could only mean that he was in the enemy-occupied territory outside the radiation range of Zhongzhou State. The chance of finding him there would be higher.

Military Counselor continued to drive forward.

In the backseat of the car, Qin Weibai didn’t move or say anything, but she held her pale, slim hands into fists.

“Where is she?”

Qin Weibai asked in a soft voice.

Military Counselor, who was driving, took out a screen and watched it, then responded. “From here... Oh? Less than twenty kilometers. Horsewoman has confirmed her location. She is following her secretly.”

“Twenty kilometers...”

The light in Qin Weibai’s bright eyes was faint, giving off a kind of coquettish and yet holy charm.

Military Counselor stayed silent.

The distance was out of his expectation. This place was close to the edge of the battlefield, for it was outside the power range of Zhongzhou State. In the beginning, according to what Horsewoman said, she was running backward, but now she was twenty kilometers closer to the edge of the battlefield. Obviously, after she ran back for a distance, she returned and headed straight to the enemy-occupied territory.

“She is looking for Tianlan.”

Qin Weibai suddenly let out a cold laugh. “She is really stubborn. Hurry up, I need to see her immediately!”

Military Counselor said yes then hit the accelerator. As the car sped up, he hesitated for a while and finally asked, “Are you really gonna see her?”

Since they killed Kudou Huawu, Military Counselor started to feel something wrong. He didn’t know what exactly was it, but he had a vague theory from some traces. If the boss was gonna see her right now... then she might be exposed.

“I have to.”

Qin Weibai’s voice was soft but determined. “As long as she’s around Tianlan, she’s like a ticking bomb, so I have to solve this for him.”

“Kill her?”

Military Counselor’s eyes suddenly turned cold.

“No, we can’t.”

Qin Weibai shook her head and didn’t say anything else.

Military Counselor gave up asking, but he was driving faster and faster.

The car rushed out of the demolition area, and the trees along the road moved backward quickly.

The night was still outside the window.

Qin Weibai looked the night sky through the car window and said to herself in a cold voice, “I’ve worked so hard for years, but I don’t want to pave way for others... I don’t care even If I have to die miserably.”

...

Sneaking, searching, and observing.

The silence of the night swallowed the whole mountain forest. Dongcheng Rushi looked calm and discreet as she moved carefully in the forest.

The final battle had broken out.

But this place was behind the enemy and was still free from all the flames of war. But the patrol in this area was getting more and more intense. Dongcheng Rushi’s face looked pale, and she was hiding from the East Island’s patrol teams searching carefully.

She never thought about going back.

That night, as Sunset Shadow and the Big Dipper died together, as the death of Wind Ghost, only two out of the seven superiors of the Thunder-shocking Realm that were chasing after them, survived.

They tried everything they could to break the encirclement, but they got broken up completely by the furious East Island elites. Dongcheng Rushi ran away alone in the battlefield, tried her best to ditch the East Island superiors that followed her, then returned without any hesitation.

She was hiding all the way, not only from East Island elites but also Zhongzhou State elites. She needed to protect herself from all of them.

She went deep into the enemies alone.

Dongcheng Rushi’s clear, watery eyes got more and more cautious, and her whole body was very intense and nervous. She was ready to fight and run at any time.

It was sultry and hot in the quiet forest.

Dongcheng Rushi, who was soaked in her sweat, sat behind a big tree, exhausted. She was eating compressed biscuits quietly with a calm face.

In the quiet forest, a mild sound of the wind whistled.

Dongcheng Rushi heard soft footsteps along with the dull sound of the wind.

At that moment, Dongcheng Rushi’s nervous body bounced up from the ground and turned around. She stared at the direction which the footsteps came from.

There were no stars or moon in the sky.

In the dim light, a tall, slim figure walked toward her alone casually.

This person was in white clothes and a white dress, looking charming and gorgeous.

That was a kind of special charm that could almost make all the other women feel sorry about themselves. She looked vague and illusory, as if she didn’t belong to this world, perfect like a dream.

Dongcheng Rushi didn’t feel danger from her. But out of instinct, she instantly took a few steps back.

That white figure walked close to her evenly.

In the extremely low visibility, Dongcheng Rushi finally saw her face clearly.

It was a perfect, exquisite and yet sharp face, like a fairy.

“I’m Qin Weibai.”

The white figure looked at Dongcheng Rushi and said calmly, “Please sit.”

Dongcheng Rushi didn’t answer or sit down. The Silence Sword was behind her, and she was holding a red dagger tightly, so the light killing intent was surging in her.

At this moment, Dongcheng Rushi was sure that there were two people around the forest.

One was herself.

The other one was this legendary woman from the Dark World that didn’t know any Martial Arts.

In front of the light, surging killing intent, Qin Weibai didn’t seem to be nervous at all. Her radiant, bright eyes took a glance at the dagger in Dongcheng Rushi’s hands. She let out a soft laugh and said in a complicated tone, “Lovesickness and Oblivion... what a story of grievances and affection.”

Dongcheng Rushi’s pupils instantly contracted. The light in her eyes changed; the pure light was shining and slowly fading.

“Stop pretending.”

Qin Weibai said blandly, “You’re not Dongcheng Rushi. If you were her, you wouldn’t be nervous in front of me. Even if you’re nervous, you wouldn’t be holding this Lovesickness. Silence is her weapon. You... are her second personality?”

“You know me so well?”

Dongcheng Rushi’s eyes suddenly changed, and the purity slowly faded away. She became depressed, cold, and sharp.

“What do you want?”

Dongcheng Yueshen asked.

“In the past hundreds of years, you know which family was the poorest and most pathetic?”

Qin Weibai didn’t answer Dongcheng Yueshen and just asked her in a soft tone.

That soft tone seemed to come from the horizon. Her words still echoed around with the dreamy feeling, as if it were the sound of nature.

Dongcheng Yueshen’s eyes lost focus for a second. Then they turned cold again.

“It’s not the Li family.”

Qin Weibai answered her own question. “It’s the Dongcheng Clan.”

Dongcheng Yueshen still stayed silent.

“Do you know Dongcheng Huangtu?”

Qin Weibai asked blandly.

Dongcheng Yueshen’s eyes instantly got even colder.

“You know quite a lot.”

In the silence, Dongcheng Yueshen finally opened her mouth, let out a light cold laugh, and said, “It’s just that you shouldn’t be here alone in front of me. I’m not Rushi but Dongcheng Yueshen! Boss Qin, you’re standing here in front of me. Are you trying to warn me about something? Aren’t you afraid that I’m gonna kill you?”

“Kill me?”

Qin Weibai laughed out loud. Her laughter was crispy and pleasant to hear, echoing in the forest like the sound of a fairy. “What a coincidence! Someone tried to kill me before, and her name was Li Yueshen.”

“Crack...”

Dongcheng Yueshen took a rapid step forward and pulled Lovesickness out of the sheath.

She stared at Qin Weibai coldly, and her eyes looked hesitant.

“I know what are you trying to do. In other words, I even know you better than yourself. If you think it’s a warning, then it’s a warning.”

Qin Weibai’s voice got cold slowly. “I really hate you like this. But I really like Rushi, so, from now on, I don’t want to see you again, understand?”

“Who do you think you are?!”

Dongcheng Yueshen was furious.

“I’m Qin Weibai.”

Qin Weibai turned around slowly and left the forest. “If you won’t listen to me, then carry on with your plan. If you really push me to my edges, you, you two, will be responsible for everything. I’ll make sure you will regret it.”

She stepped forward.

At that moment, Dongcheng Yueshen was about to launch an attack.

“Click...”

The dull sound suddenly rang out and exploded like thunder in Dongcheng Yueshen’s ears.

In her sight, Qin Weibai had taken her step.

But she heard another footstep after hers from the void, matching her footstep.

Dongcheng Yueshen’s face instantly turned pale. She stared at Qin Weibai’s surroundings.

At this moment, she realized that the reason why Qin Weibai dared to come here alone was that she wasn’t alone in the first place. A superior was hiding in the void and following her.

A superior that she was completely unaware of.

Saint couldn’t do that, neither could Military Counselor.

The Master of Samsara Palace!

It could only be the Master of Samsara Palace.

Dongcheng Yueshen suddenly got wet with cold sweat.

Qin Weibai’s figure slowly disappeared in the night.

Dongcheng Yueshen stood there in silence. In front of her, the vague air suddenly started to shake and twist.

In her sight, the space in front of her was twisting and shaking, and two beautiful characters came into form in the void, turning from faint to stable.

Carving characters in the void.

This was a real move from an Invincible Realm expert.

Dongcheng Yueshen stared at the two characters, and the expression on her pretty face kept changing from joy to sorrow, then to something else.

Anyone could recognize the two characters.

But maybe she was the only one that could understand the meaning behind them.

Illusion!
