The King of Special Warfare

Chapter 360 The Road to Invincibility

It was after midnight.

When Li Tianlan carried the severely injured Lin Youxian into the Silver Lake Villa in Winter Mountain, the police station and garrison troops in Huating almost surrounded the entire Winter Mountain.

The police lights flickered throughout the mountain. A large number of troops occupied every passageway up and down the mountain. The atmosphere was severe and solemn.

Li Tianlan entered the villa and closed the door, leaving Lin Youxian on the sofa.

“Tianlan, is this Li family’s estate?”

Lin Youxian leaned stiffly on the sofa, and his arms were trembling unconsciously. He resisted the God of War of Zhongzhou State with the strength close to the peak of the Thunder-shocking Realm. Even if it was the God of War of Zhongzhou State whose strength was greatly reduced under severe injuries, his behavior was crazy.

The reason why the Twenty-second Blade was called the Absolute Sword among 24 Moves of Sword was that it had strong Sword Energy as well as the greatest consumption. In the current realm of Lin Youxian, such a stroke was absolutely a forced one. When he performed the Twenty-second Blade and did not fight Gu Xingyun, he himself would be seriously injured by his own sword intent. Since Lin Youxian stood between Gu Xingyun and his own sword intent, his body almost collapsed. If Li Tianlan arrived there a few seconds later, the Lin Clan’s young Chosen One might really die on the spot tonight.

“I’m here for the first time.”

Li Tianlan unfamiliarly took out a medicine box and blankly said, “The nominal owner of the villa is a Germanic foreigner businessman, Kript · Jason · Andres. It seems to be this name. There is nothing special about the background of this German businessman. His true identity is the Super Master who is second only to Military Counselor and Saint in the Samsara Palace, with a codename General.”

In other words, this was an estate belonging to Qin Weibai.

Qin Weibai had nine houses in Huating. There were two luxury houses that cost more than one hundred million on Winter Mountain. This villa in the Silver Lake was one of the two. When Qin Weibai appeared next to him three years ago, she had collected his fingerprints. So Li Tianlan was able to get in and out of all her estate at will. With the army surrounding Winter Mountain, the Silver Lake Villa Area, where the wealthy gathered and the great hidden forces stayed, was the best hiding place.

“Oh, General, I heard of him.”

Lin Youxian whistled, but his smile was already a little forced.

His face was pale. Because of excessive blood loss, his body became extremely cold, and his teeth began to tremble uncontrollably.

Li Tianlan frowned and waved his hand at will. In silence, Lin Fengting’s broken clothes disappeared all of a sudden.

“F*ck you.”

Lin Youxian changed his expression and took a deep breath. He surprisedly shouted, “What are you doing?”

“F*ck your sister. I am going to apply medicine to you!”

The corners of Li Tianlan’s mouth twitched. “Lie down still, or you can’t see the sun of tomorrow if you don’t stop bleeding.”

“Shit, my sister is only seventeen this year.”

Lin Youxian gritted his teeth and said, “Don’t think about it...”

“Go away!”

Li Tianlan sneered and smeared some specially-formulated and extremely valuable hemostatic medicine on Lin Youxian’s battered back. Then Li Tianlan threw the medicine directly to him. “If you can move, get up and take the medicine by yourself.”

Lin Youxian with gooseflesh hummed and stood up slowly, applying the ointment tremblingly.

Li Tianlan checked the medicine box again and threw two bottles of internally-taken healing potions to him. “You should also have healing things on your body, right?”

“They’re all ruined.”

Lin Youxian angrily said, “Even if they hadn’t been destroyed in the battle, they were destroyed after you waved your hand just now.”

Li Tianlan smiled, took off his extremely damaged white clothes, and moved his body.

Lin Youxian was silent before he said suddenly, “I’ll stay here for the next few days. I don’t have Zhongzhou State nationality. Even if I had, I couldn’t go to the final maneuver to help you.”

“Ok.”

Li Tianlan put the white clothes in his hand on the sofa aside and sat down.

The blood on his body stopped slowly, and he began to feel the pain coming from all corners of his body.

Lin Youxian’s face was a little pale, but he was relieved.

He had a perception, even pain, which was much better than numbness.

He quietly thought about the collision with Gu Xingyun’s sword stroke tonight.

There was a sea in the Tenth Unique Domain.

There was light behind the Break of the Sky.

The light and the sea were entangled and stirred. The entire picture was constantly being decomposed. The sea became sword intent, and the light became sword intent too. Then the picture became clearer. Every trembling of the sword intent was like an aura impacting his soul.

Lin Youxian’s eyes were dizzy.

The sword intent constantly replayed in his mind. The clear sword intent once again became the sea and the light.

He suddenly remembered one sentence.

When one saw mountains and the water, they could be mountains and water in his eyes. Nevertheless, they could also be something else. But the mountains and the water still remained the same.

In the sword intent that became the light and the sea again, that person in white suddenly appeared in the center of the light and the sea.

He seemed to be sword intent and yet nothing.

Just one finger.

One finger broke the sea.

Lin Youxian was suddenly surprised, and his eyes that had been closed opened again.

It wasn’t until he remembered the moment in his mind that he suddenly discovered that Li Tianlan’s state at that moment turned out to be so profound and vast.

He abruptly appeared silently in the sword intent of the Break of the Sky and the Tenth Unique Domain.

Any existence had a form.

But Lin Youxian could not distinguish the form of Li Tianlan’s existence at that moment.

His nothingness was like sword intent as well as air. It existed clearly, but there was no trace of it.

Lin Youxian breathed deeply.

He had been stuck for two years from the time when he moved from the stabilization phase of the Thunder-shocking Realm to the peak.

Tonight, there seemed to be a tremendous opportunity.

He hesitated and finally asked again.

“Tianlan.”

“Er?”

“What realm are you in now...?”

“I do not know.”

Li Tianlan shook his head. “It can be regarded as the Invincible Realm, but it can also be regarded as no realm. My path is not the same as yours. So the current Qi-controlling Realm, the Ice-condensing Realm, the Fire-flaming Realm, the Thunder-shocking Realm, the Half-step Invincible Realm, and even the Invincible Realm are difficult to define mine. The realm is unreal, but the combat capability is real.”

“A totally different path?”

Lin Youxian hesitated for a moment. He knew that Li Tianlan’s road was different from the current Martial Arts. But the so-called difference was not a complete difference at all. Lin Youxian’s words were all blocked in his throat.

How precious was a completely different Martial Arts path?

It seemed that his relationship with Li Tianlan was not close enough for him to share such secrets with him.

Li Tianlan did not mind this. The Lin Clan and the Li family were of the same bloodline. This time they stood together again. When Lin Youxian was confused, he did not mind explaining more.

And since his Martial Arts reached a Basic Level, there were really not many young people who were qualified to discuss Martial Arts with him. Most tragically, the qualified ones were all enemies. So Lin Youxian was undoubtedly the best object of discussion.

Li Tianlan looked at Lin Youxian and asked seriously, “What are the Martial Arts?”

Lin Youxian answered without hesitation, “Swords.”

Li Tianlan smiled, and his eyes were warm. This was undoubtedly the Martial Arts concept of the Lin Clan. Because they had the same bloodline, this was also the Martial Arts concept of the Li family.

In the hearts of the Li family and the Lin Clan, the so-called Martial Arts were swords.

“This is our saying inside. In the Wang family of Beihai and Kunlun City, they also have different sayings inside.”

Li Tianlan laughed. “In the Wang family of Beihai, Martial Arts symbolize outbreaks. In Kunlun City, Martial Arts are formations, the essence of our heritage of unique skills. In the eyes of many people who do not have a strong martial inheritance, the so-called Martial Arts are the promotion of realms.”

“What’s wrong with this?”

Lin Youxian wondered.

“It’s right.”

Li Tianlan nodded. “It’s just a different idea. In my opinion, the so-called Martial Arts represent invincibility. Only invincibility.”

Martial Arts were invincibility!

Lin Youxian was stunned for a while.

“Sword Energy, breakout, sword formation, and the pursuit of realms are all right, but they are all unreal.

“While we practice Martial Arts, isn’t our ultimate goal to be invincible in the world? If we don’t even have this courageous goal, we can only be nonentities even if practicing Martial Arts. So Martial Arts are combat capability, namely invincibility.

“We are pursuing sword intent, the Wang family of Beihai is pursuing breakout, and Kunlun City is seeking for sword formation. Our unique skills have their own quintessence. Unlike more people who only pursue realms, our fighting power can go far beyond that of others in the same realm. We have enough confidence to laugh at them because they only care about pursuing the realm but do not hone themselves seriously. This is putting the cart before the horse.”

Li Tianlan calmly added, “Actually, it’s ridiculous. Why didn’t we reflect on ourselves when we laughed at them before? The sword intent is the quintessence of the Li family and the Lin Clan. It is the key that our Patriarch left us to the road to invincibility. The so-called inheritance is just the key. When we practice Martial Arts, we want to be invincible in the world. When we laugh at others who don’t pay attention to hone themselves, few people think about whether we have forgotten our original intention? The sword intent is our quintessence, but we have been pursuing pure sword intent and have limited ourselves.

“Are the Martial Arts we pursue the sword intent? Ridiculous. It’s invincibility. From beginning to end, it should be invincibility.

“Sword intent is just an inheritance. It is not the goal we should pursue, but the tool by which we pursue invincibility. The Lin Clan and Li family have never lacked amazing talents, neither has the Wang family of Beihai. But why don’t we have the Chosen One, who truly has absolute dominance in the Dark World? Because in the process of their growing strength, they have gotten themselves into a dead end and cannot come out.”

Lin Youxian’s face became paler. He should have lost too much blood and be extremely cold. At this time, his head was covered with cold sweat.

He suddenly remembered the thought that had just made him break through.

In his memory, he remembered Gu Xingyun’s Tenth Unique Domain, Li Tianlan’s Break of the Sky...

They were composed of sword intent.

Only sword intent.

Martial Arts...

He also got himself into the dead end of pursuing the sword intent. As his sword intent became stronger, his Martial Arts seemed to be getting farther and farther away from him.

The redness of skin on Lin Fengting’s face completely disappeared.

“I also use a sword.”

Li Tianlan whispered, “But in my opinion, my sword is a sword. Without a sword, I can use a saber. Without a saber, I can kill someone with fists. There is no right or wrong in Martial Arts. You have great truth, but you can’t be invincible in the world. Then you’re wrong. If you don’t know the idea but become invincible in the end, then you’re right. In the so-called Martial Arts, strength is paramount. Isn’t that so?”

“What is your kendo now?”

Lin Youxian recalled Li Tianlan’s sword intent.

The sword intent of the Li family was sharp and fierce. The sword intent of the Wang family of Beihai was a turbulent breakout.

What about Li Tianlan’s?

His sword intent was incomparably illusory, and yet extremely real.

Cutting the Sky!

Breaking the Sea.

Regardless of whether it was real or illusory, in terms of essence, it seemed to be better than sharpness and breakout.

“What is kendo?”

Li Tianlan laughed, and his voice was extremely firm. “Kendo is kendo. That’s it.”

From simpleness to complexity, from complexity to simpleness, it regained the natural state.

When one saw mountains and the water, they were mountains and water in his eyes.

“Specifically, my path is different from yours. My path started with invincibility. I was in the Thunder-shocking Realm at the age of seventeen and practiced it again. I was about to enter the Invincible Realm at the age of nineteen, and I made a big breakthrough after experiencing hardships. I have experienced the landscape of the Four Realms of Martial Arts and the Invincible Realm. It is a precious treasure and also the foundation of my road to invincibility. So my second practice is still focused on realms.”

Li Tianlan whispered, “If I really want to divide my Martial Arts by realm, I will call my two practices as the Realm of Nirvana. That is the foundation of invincibility. If I want the foundation to be solid, I must build up strength and pursue the momentum of invincibility. When it is done, it is time for me to make my heart solid. With an invincible heart, I can fully condense the essence, qi, and spirit. It is the ultimate detachment. Martial Arts are formed by oneself.”

The foundation of invincibility.

The momentum of invincibility.

The heart of invincibility.

One eventually surpassed it.

By that time...

Lin Youxian murmured, “By that time, could it still be the Invincible Realm?”

Li Tianlan chuckled and answered, “I am invincible by that time.”
