Anything that could exist for a long time and be pa.s.sed down must be a cla.s.sic.
The same was true of Martial Arts.
The most cla.s.sic, the most basic, and the simplest was the strongest.
In those days hundreds of years ago, when the Li family did not exist, the original founder of Zhongzhou State Xuanyuantai was the ancestor of the Lin Clan, who could compete with the Chosen One.
The Seventy-two Styles of Dragon Fist laid the foundation for Xuanyuantai.
Majestic, delicate, weird, swift, fierce, feminine, and all-encompa.s.sing.
The Lin Clan’s ancestor spent most of his life simplifying the Seventy-two Styles of Dragon Fist into 24 Moves of Sword.
The 24 Moves of Sword had been going around for hundreds of years, making the Lin Clan and the Li family look down upon the Dark World for centuries.
Before the 24 Moves of Sword were completed, the ancestor had the matchless Dragon Fist, which enabled him to compete with the Chosen One!
The Lin Clan lived a sequestered life.
The Li family remained silent.
The glory belonging to Xuanyuantai had been dim for many years.
The brilliance of the “Invincible Manual” in the “Map of G.o.d of War” of Xuanyuantai was about to extinguish completely.
The Dark World without the Li family was lonely.
But after loneliness, it would be forgotten after all.
That night.
…
In a very ordinary place at a very ordinary time, when almost everyone had forgotten the edge of the “Map of G.o.d of War”, accompanied by thunderbolts and flames, the strongest Martial Art recorded on the “Map of G.o.d of War”—the oldest unique skill, suddenly burst out the most brilliant light.
Dragon Fist · Flying Dragon.
In the domain of Thirty-meter Mortal World, Li Tianlan’s body suddenly stretched as much as it could. Every bone and muscle in his body was vibrating wildly, driving the Dual Wind and Thunder Veins inside him. Thunderbolts and fire spread across the domain, centered on his body. The raging fire continued to burn, and the most dazzling blue thunderbolts wreaked havoc in every corner of the domain.
Li Tianlan still had difficulty in moving.
But under the mad tremor of the Dual Wind and Thunder Veins, every action of Li Tianlan carried extreme strength and speed.
The sword intent of the Shattering of Land did not dissipate, and the remaining sword intent was forcibly expanding the domain. After shrinking, the domain began to expand toward the surrounding area, covering more and more areas. However, the air ma.s.s on Jiang Qiannian’s fist grew smaller and smaller.
Li Tianlan strode forward.
The air ma.s.s in front of Jiang Qiannian circulated wildly, suppressing Li Tianlan desperately.
Noises could be heard from the silent domain. The void that could not take any power condensed crazily and began to become heavy.
All the heaviness was suppressed on Li Tianlan forcibly.
Li Tianlan was still moving forward.
The s.p.a.ce in the domain became a hurricane blowing in the opposite direction.
The hurricane was getting stronger.
Li Tianlan moved forward against the gust. His movements slowed down, the pressure on him grew, and even his actions began to deform.
But he didn’t stop at all.
He carried mountains, seas, and the world on his shoulders.
The coat made of Cloud Silk floated backward and fluttered in a cool curve behind him.
A great deal of blood gushed out of Li Tianlan’s body.
But the light on him kept getting brighter.
All the thunderbolts were converging toward him.
In Jiang Qiannian’s line of sight, blood gushed out of Li Tianlan’s body, and before the blood fell, his figure had disappeared entirely.
In front of him was a ma.s.s of light covered with lightning.
The arc of light scattered as the hurricane in the domain pulled it.
But Li Tianlan’s difficult and rapid march did not stop.
The distance between the two was very close.
Jiang Qiannian’s eyes were dignified and severe. He took a deep breath and shook his arms.
In his hands, the majestic air ma.s.s swirled with a loud crash and turned into a huge vortex in a blink of an eye.
Jiang Qiannian pushed the huge vortex forward.
Li Tianlan’s figure became distinct without warning.
The distance between the two had been reduced to less than three meters.
Within the distance, Jiang Qiannian could clearly see the wounds all over Li Tianlan’s body. Furthermore, he could see that the wounds on his body were splitting open and healing.
Jiang Qiannian’s pupils contracted sharply.
In his sight, Li Tianlan’s body was extremely clear.
But one arm was missing.
His right hand was covered in light.
The purest, the most dazzling, and the most violent light.
It seemed as if endless rays of light gathered around his right hand, vast and magnificent. In a trance, Jiang Qiannian only felt that the other party was holding in his hand a surging ocean.
Li Tianlan lifted his arm.
In Jiang Qiannian’s domain, his moves seemed slow but couldn’t be stopped at all.
Jiang Qiannian pushed the vortex in front of him toward Li Tianlan.
Li Tianlan didn’t dodge it at all.
He hit it with his right hand.
With condensed light, the punch hit the very center of the vortex hard.
“Crack…”
A sound that seemed to be infinitely loud and yet absolutely light rang out.
It seemed like something was breaking.
Everyone’s eardrums suddenly hurt.
Domain, thunderbolts, flames, and hurricane.
Even the bodies of Li Tianlan and Jiang Qiannian suddenly stopped.
Outside the domain, both the remaining elites of the Jiang family of South America and those of the Rekvia family were escaping desperately.
Jiang Qiannian and Li Tianlan’s figures appeared in the night.
The domain was devouring the night, almost frozen.
Everything in the domain seemed to be static.
With thunderbolts gathering on it, Li Tianlan’s fist pa.s.sed through the center of the horrible vortex, which then all turned blue in stillness. Li Tianlan’s arm ran into it and collided with Jiang Qiannian’s fist.
That vortex was big.
So it looked like Li Tianlan’s entire body had rushed into the vortex.
“Crack… crack… crack…”
In the weird stillness, with the domain as the center, countless subtle sounds began to sound in all directions.
The elites of the Jiang family of South America and the Rekvia fled desperately.
Cracks began to appear in a field of debris and bodies.
The cracks spread in all directions, and in an instant, they became bottomless ravines.
The silent domain, bright but full of hazy colors, lit up for a moment.
The whole domain began to undulate like water.
In the domain, Li Tianlan moved.
The eerie stillness instantly turned into an absolute outburst of power.
His whole body rushed straight into the vortex that Jiang Qiannian had created with a full blow.
The blue thunderbolts and blood dyed the whole domain.
“Boom!”
The vortex collapsed wholly under Li Tianlan’s impact, accompanied by the thunderous sound.
Thirty-meter Mortal World, known as the strongest unique skill of the Jiang family of South America, began to break.
It burst completely.
Countless misty rays of light scattered, and the domain was completely shattered in the earth-shattering noise. Tremendous force rushed out of the domain uncontrollably and wreaked havoc. Within a few hundred meters, the thick, hard ground was utterly lifted up, turning into dust amid thunderbolts and flames. As the exploded domain was blown away into the distance, the whole ground of the manor broke and crumbled, and some debris shot straight up into the air.
Li Tianlan had approached Jiang Qiannian.
The ground was collapsing and sinking. Ruins and boulders shot up into the sky and then fell down. Thunderbolts and flames were intertwined all over the sky. In a doomsday scenario, Li Tianlan attacked regardless of everything.
Flying Dragon.
It was not until the moment when the domain was broken that the Dragon Fist driven by great force really went straight into the sky.
The night was no longer dark.
There were bright rays of light everywhere.
Thunderbolts and raging flames converged behind Li Tianlan.
In the collapse of the earth, a high wall of thunderbolts and flames seemed to form behind Li Tianlan.
The wall was hundreds of meters high and totally awe-inspiring, seeming to reach the sky. The light of thunderbolts and fire intertwined constantly, spread, and rose on the wall, turning into a vision that could be seen in a greater part of the city.
The speed and power of Dual Wind and Thunder Veins had reached the limits.
The howl of the dragon went far away.
Lightning and fire surged behind him and immediately turned into countless dragon-shaped beams of light as he swung his fist.
Seen from afar, the dragon-shaped beams of light on the high wall that was entirely formed of thunderbolts and fire shot out behind Li Tianlan and flung to Jiang Qiannian desperately.
In the light, Li Tianlan’s shattered white coat was vaguely discernible and illusory amidst the raging fire. He was unarmed, but dragon-shaped beams of light surrounded him as he waved his hand. The mighty power became giant dragons with thunderbolts and fire. The high wall was still hot, and the dragons were flying around Li Tianlan, which then turned into an extremely magnificent picture of authority.
Jiang Qiannian did not expect Li Tianlan’s counterattacks to be so violent.
He was not familiar with Dragon Fist.
But at this moment, among the many dragon-shaped shadows, he finally saw the Li family he had known.
Thunderbolts and raging flames in the shapes of dragons rushed toward Jiang Qiannian and were constantly crushed by him.
Li Tianlan moved forward.
Offense, offense, offense!
He was defenseless and ignored all injuries.
All of his fighting desires poured out in the most incisive way possible in the swing of Dragon Fist and became an instinctive desire to attack and kill.
The force kept bursting forth under the darkness.
All of Jiang Qiannian’s counterattacks fell on Li Tianlan, but those attacks couldn’t make him back off a little.
He was indeed not as strong as Jiang Qiannian.
However, Dual Wind and Thunder Veins, the Dragon Fist that hadn’t shown up for a long time, the absolutely focused will, and the optical camouflage technique on the garment of Cloud Silk enabled him to take the initiative at the cost of serious injuries the moment the domain broke.
Now all he had to do was attack!
In everyone’s sight, the earth had collapsed and disappeared, and the moment the innumerable boulders rushed into the sky, they melted into the high wall with thunderbolts and fire intertwined.
The high wall was moving forward.
Li Tianlan was moving forward.
Jiang Qiannian was backing.
Countless dragon-shaped thunderbolts and flames rushed out of the high wall amidst the sound of the dragon. They surrounded Li Tianlan and rushed to Jiang Qiannian. The considerable force distorted the air. During the crazy attacks, Jiang Qiannian was utterly crushed by Li Tianlan, taking the attacks in confusion.
With the battlefield of the two as the center, the entire manor had collapsed and disappeared. The water rose from the ground and gathered rapidly. The previous manor turned into a lake ten of meters deep due to their attacks. Everywhere the two pa.s.sed by, wave after wave rose high in the air, turning into ice walls in front of Li Tianlan.
An Invisible, ma.s.sless, and fierce storm surged in front of Jiang Qiannian.
Li Tianlan didn’t care about anything or even saw anything.
Only offense.
Ice walls, storms, rising boulders, and agglomerate thunderbolts. As Li Tianlan pursued, any obstacle in front of him was shattered and torn. The whole night trembled in the violent attacks.
It was the momentum of warriors.
It was the momentum that reached the peak, crazy and aggressive!
Li Tianlan didn’t retreat until he died!
Dragon Fist · Heaven & Earth Crack!
Li Tianlan’s fists. .h.i.t Jiang Qiannian hard on the arms as sledgehammers. The moment the strong momentum soared into the sky, the wall behind Li Tianlan, which was nearly a kilometer high and was about to disappear into the night, shook suddenly.
The sound of the dragon grew louder.
It even sounded a bit tragic.
The high wall of fire collapsed suddenly as Li Tianlan swung his fists down.
Like a fallen river and also the Great Wall falling at high alt.i.tude, countless rays of light fell fiercely and almost toppled the entire world.
Earthshaking.
It was genuinely earthshaking!
The nearly thousand-meter-high wall burned the night sky, slapped the lake below, and smashed into the pond like a mountain.
The water of the whole lake rushed up and burned up in the raging fire. The bottomless pit was still there, but the splashes disappeared instantly in the falling thunderbolts.
The lake turned into a desert in a blink of an eye.
Only the dragon-shaped beams of light were still flying around Li Tianlan, chasing after Jiang Qiannian desperately.
The light in his eyes grew stronger and stronger.
Flames and thunderbolts fell entirely from the sky.
The blinding light turned blurred for an instant.
Li Tianlan suddenly took a small step forward.
In an instant, countless shadows appeared under the light all over the sky.
Map of G.o.d of War. Night Walking.
Night Walking didn’t reach behind Jiang Qiannian but instantly approached Jiang Qiannian’s body.
It was the closest the two had come since the fighting began.
Less than a meter away.
Li Tianlan’s figure leaped into the air abruptly.
His body was tense, his bones and muscles were tightened at the same time, and his Dual Wind and Thunder Veins were fully extended. The sound of the dragon in the night sky was unprecedentedly loud.
Li Tianlan stood in midair, connecting heaven and earth.
There was no light, anger, or killing intent in his eyes. The only thing left was quiet and deadly concentration.
In a trance, Li Tianlan was surrounded by a nearly transparent beam of light.
The beam of light suddenly straightened around him, spreading upward and downward.
The beam connected heaven and earth, and wherever it went, all the thunderbolts and fire were instantly absorbed by it.
Li Tianlan reached out his hand and clenched his fist, as if holding the entire transparent beam.
Jiang Qiannian suddenly looked up.
There was a look of undisguised horror in his eyes.
In silence, the beam fell down.
Jiang Qiannian seemed to be completely locked up from head to toe and had nowhere to run.
Li Tianlan’s hand grasped the beam, and he fell suddenly from mid-air.
The beam was not dragon-shaped.
But the overwhelming sound of the dragon could be heard everywhere.
Li Tianlan’s momentum suddenly soared to the limit.
It was the last style of Dragon Fist.
A final hit.
Dragon Fist · Armor Removal!
In a trance, Li Tianlan’s thoughts returned to the Mount Qingyun more than three years ago.
Lonely Mountain was still open to the public at that time.
At that time, Mount Qingyun was also called a wonderland by outsiders.
In some unfamiliar sights, he saw the white mist over Mount Qingyun covering the Qingyun Temple and the old monk in the white mist as well.
He saw the old monk’s body slowly dissipating.
In a murmur, the old monk said something exactly like his current unique skill.
“The dragon is about to raise its head, and anyone who sees it must take off his armor!”
“Boom!”
Late night in Eastern Europe.
Li Tianlan’s body fell from mid-air, and ethereal white mist instantly rose around him, enveloping the night.
Li Tianlan’s body became more stretched in an instant.
Dual Wind and Thunder Veins reached the perfect state directly the moment the white mist appeared.
His will also reached its perfect state.
His will to fight rose to the summit.
His strength, speed, will, sword intent, and fist intent had undergone thorough sublimation.
At this moment, Li Tianlan was stronger than ever.
He was even stronger than the moment he entered the Invincible Realm on East Island.
It was the true strength that was deserved to appear on the Divine List.
It was a punch close to the peak of the Invincible Realm.
Li Tianlan swung his fist.
His arm went straight down with great momentum.
“Puff!”
A change occurred suddenly.
…
When he was the strongest, and when his strength, speed, will, sword intent, and fist intent fully integrated, an inexplicable pain spread through his body in an instant.
Li Tianlan’s momentum plunged from peak to trough in a flash.
Nothing unexpected happened.
But this punch that was close to the peak of the Invincible Realm was constrained by his completely perfect body in all aspects. The power was stored in his body, but it scattered wildly instead of condensing.
He couldn’t throw this punch out. Instead, at its peak, he was injured severely and entirely because of the limitations of his body.
A mouthful of blood gushed from Li Tianlan’s mouth, unusually scarlet.
