Chapter 338: Life and Death Race
The latest website name: Qianye Pavilion The latest website address:
Fire burned in the forest.
The faint and undulating light reflected Li Kuangtu's face, making his entire face look pale and ferocious.
At dawn, he stood next to Li Kuangtu, holding a burning torch, as quiet as a sculpture.
Kuangtu Li is squatting.
He was holding a somewhat damaged carving knife in his hand, and he was carving the names of people on the stone tablet in front of him very carefully.
Looking down from the air, in the forest shrouded in darkness, in front of Li Kuangtu are raised graves. The grass around the graves has been burned away. On each grave is a brand new tombstone with new carvings. handwriting.
Li Kuangtu's body was covered with mud and dust, and the palm holding the carving knife had obvious bruises and even blood stains. In the dim light of darkness and firelight, he carved the names one by one in the most serious manner. On the tombstone, there is an extremely depressing power.
Some broken carving knives made the final stroke on the stone tombstone.
Li Xiaoxiao, who was holding a torch, said in a low voice: "No more, this is the last one."
Li Kuangtu sat down on the ground without any image. He seemed to feel a little uncomfortable. He moved his body and leaned against the tombstone behind him.
"Yeah, the last one."
He said softly, looking at the dawn: "Is there any smoke?"
Dawn took out a pack of cigarettes and handed them over.
Li Kuangtu opened his cigarettes, took out one, lit it, and smoked slowly.
The surroundings were quiet except for the sound of the wind blowing in the forest.
Li Kuangtu smoked one cigarette after another. He smoked half a pack of cigarettes almost without stopping, and then suddenly said: "I should take a look. Maybe we missed some, and there may be some tombstones that we didn't engrave." Name..."
His voice seemed hoarse and weak from too many cigarettes.
Li Xiao looked at him silently and said softly: "I checked, there is nothing missing..."
After a pause, he spoke again: "No more..."
Li Kuangtu fell completely silent, and his whole person became more and more dead.
I don’t know how long it took before his voice sounded softly like he was talking in his sleep: "Yeah, no more..."
For a whole day, he repeatedly built tombs one after another and carved names one after another on the tombstones without missing a beat.
His Li family, his Purgatory Legion...
None.
The night wind stirs the forest.
Large branches and leaves made a dense and harsh sound in the gradually increasing sound of wind.
The torch in Dawn's hand tilted steadily in one direction amidst the sound of wind.
"What did you hear?"
Li Kuangtu suddenly asked.
"The sound of the wind."
Li Xiao was stunned and said.
"No..."
Li Kuangtu shook his head firmly: "It's not the rumor."
He stood up holding on to the tombstone, with a touch of cruelty in his hoarse voice: "It's unwillingness and anger, and the desire for revenge."
He turned and looked into the darkness ahead.
The grave and tombstone closest to him seemed like a starting point.
The densely packed tombs continued to spread into the distance amidst the dark wind. The stone tombstones glowed with an icy luster in the darkness, and everything seemed extremely pale.
Li Kuangtu gritted his teeth and his breathing gradually became rapid.
The cemetery in the large forest in front of me had a name that was famous in the dark world just a few days ago.
Legion of Inferno.
There is only a little over a thousand members of the Purgatory Legion.
It is the Purgatory Legion that is still willing to follow him after Li Kuangtu surrendered to Li Tianlan and handed everything over to the East Palace. It is the Purgatory Legion that will control a quarter or even more of the power of the Central Continent's special warfare system in a few months. Legion.
There were only over a thousand of them.
Li Kuangtu can arrange them in various positions. They may not be rich and powerful, but everyone will form a complete whole, enjoy the glory and look forward to the future. This is what he promised them many years ago. .
Like Breaking Dawn and Dawn, they are people who are willing to stand with him no matter what happens.
This is a force that gathers around him and cannot even be beaten away.
Kuangtu Li can even call each of these more than a thousand people by name. They have been together for many years. Kuangtu Li can't tell whether they are his friends, brothers, or subordinates, but he can be sure. Yes, when these people are around him, he will feel a sense of security from the bottom of his heart.
What does it mean for more than a thousand people with average strength to reach the Burning Fire Realm?
This means that Li Kuangtu can at least reorganize a super elite whose combat effectiveness is no less than that of Zhutian and Xuanyuan Sword.
This also means that each person may not be outstanding individually, but when placed in the right position, almost everyone can perform alone.
This is the Infernal Legion.
The main body of more than a thousand people looked inconspicuous, and could even be said to be a little pitiful.
He handed over everything in Tiandu Purgatory to the East Palace, leaving only these.
But Li Kuangtu knew that as long as he could get Zhongzhou's support, the more than a thousand people around him could form a larger whole in the fastest time. If Zhongzhou's support was sincere enough, he would be able to defeat the Purgatory Legion. As the core, he can create a force even more exaggerated than Tiandu Purgatory.
But now...
there is none left.
Seven days ago, there were more than a thousand members of the Purgatory Legion.
Seven days later, the Purgatory Legion...
There are four more people.
No, it's five.
Kuangtu Li, Breaking Dawn, Dawn, Phoenix, and Li Huawu as a baby.
For this operation, Li Kuangtu put all his chips on the table.
The Purgatory Legion and the North Navy Legion cooperated to enter Annan directly from Nanyun.
Li Kuangtu left almost nothing behind.
He personally went out to besiege Li Tianlan.
He sent everyone out except Dawn, who was seriously injured, and Phoenix, who was taking care of the children.
A gamble that put everything on the line made him lose everything.
This is a tragic ending that Kuangtu Li never imagined.
The wind roared loudly.
Li Kuangtu gritted his teeth and his body was shaking uncontrollably. With uncontrollable anger and resentment, he repeatedly chanted the name of the murderer who caused this scene.
"Lei Shen...Thunder God...Lei Shen..."
puff.
A mouthful of blood spurted out from his mouth.
Li Kuangtu, whose chest was rising and falling, closed his eyes and took deep breaths.
"Sooner or later..."
He whispered, clenching his hands tighter.
Bodies started arriving at the camp three days ago.
The Purgatory Legion united with Beihai and entered Tiannan. This action, which was enough to shock the dark world, turned into a joke under the intervention of Thor.
They didn't even see the allies of Kunlun City and the Holy Order.
The moment they entered Tiannan, the elite forces united by Purgatory and Beihai collided directly with the guns of the Bloody Legion.
A more elite organization, more complete military equipment, more effective combat instructions, and more people.
The battle was a complete nightmare for people on both sides of Beihai and Purgatory.
Almost all the more than 20,000 Beihai elite troops were wiped out.
After the First World War, commander Huangfu Yi was captured.
The half-step invincible master Cang Qiong, the half-step invincible master Punishment, and the half-step invincible master Enchantress all became prisoners.
Nearly twenty of Beihai Wang's thunder realm masters died in battle.
Thor's actions seem to fully demonstrate what true ruthlessness is.
And his attitude towards the Purgatory Legion shows what true cruelty is.
Because he implemented the strategy set by Dongcheng Wudi of the Border Guards.
Take no prisoners.
so...
All the people sent out under Li Kuangtu’s command.
Not a single one was left!
No one is taken prisoner.
A clean death.
In the end, these corpses were handed over to the East Palace, and then all were sent back to Li Kuangtu from Youdong Palace.
It's hard to tell whether this is a mockery from the East Palace or whether the Li power in the East Palace thinks this should be the case.
But under Thor's sharp butcher's knife, Kuangtu Li was transformed into a true polished commander.
No, there is still someone by his side.
At dawn two seriously injured people.
Plus a phoenix who takes care of the kids.
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter..."
While taking deep breaths, Kuangtu Li kept mumbling to himself, as if to comfort himself.
He gradually straightened his body and took a deep look at the huge cemetery in front of him.
"Your death will not be in vain."
Li Kuangtu's figure slowly retreated, his mouth moved, he said sorry, then he turned around resolutely and walked towards the direction of the camp.
Dawn followed silently, holding a torch, like the shadow of Kuangtu Li.
"Do not be discouraged."
Li Kuangtu's deep voice rang out: "We have suffered unprecedented losses this time, but it is not that we have gained nothing. We still have opportunities, and even greater opportunities. If we can ignore the emotional pain and consider it in practical terms, If so, everything will be the same as what I just said.”
After a pause, he said calmly: "It doesn't matter."
Li Xiao was silent for a moment and said slowly: "What should we do next?"
"What do you think?"
Li Kuangtu asked back.
"I'm not sure about your current state. If the injury is serious, recover first. If you can move... Since Li Tianlan is missing, we can take action against the East Palace. As long as we capture the East Palace, all our losses can be made up for. .”
Dawn said softly.
"Li Tianlan is just missing, not dead."
Li Kuangtu smiled.
Li Tianlan's disappearance was somewhat inexplicable. He and Lin Shiyi seemed to have suddenly disappeared out of thin air in Annan. There are already rumors in the dark world that Li Tianlan died together with his enemies, but in the end such rumors can only deceive fools, or rather The actions of those wealthy families to save themselves when they are desperate are meaningless.
Li Kuangtu had seen Lin Shiyi's strength. In fact, the serious injuries on his body were caused by the eternal swords that Lin Shiyi and Li Kuangtu each used to explode with full force. With such power, even Li Kuangtu The breakthrough is irresistible for the time being.
So to a certain extent, it is possible that Li Tianlan and Lin Shi died together, but the possibility is not very high.
But to say that Li Tianlan and Lin Shi died together and even their bodies could not be found would be impossible for Li Kuangtu, the enemy, to believe.
When Li Tianlan's body was not found, then his disappearance was a disappearance, and Li Kuangtu did not think that he was dead.
"Now I even suspect that Li Tianlan is hiding in secret to test me, waiting for me to take action. Even if the truth is not like this, Qin Weibai is not easy to deal with now. Dealing with Donghuang Palace is not realistic at the moment."
Kuangtu Li shook his head.
"so?"
Dawn asked back.
"I need to recover."
Li Kuangtu narrowed his eyes: "By the way, stabilize the current state."
He recalled how he felt when he played against Li Tianlan.
Excluding Xuanyuan Feng, strictly speaking, Li Tianlan's strength and speed are not as good as his.
Li Kuangtu can be sure of this.
However, the gap between the two sides was very small. On the other hand, Li Kuangtu's physical fitness was very different from Li Tianlan's. The combination of the two aspects was the fundamental reason why he lost to Li Tianlan.
Li Kuangtu didn't know what was going on with Li Tianlan's weird physical fitness, which he couldn't catch up with, but Li Tianlan like this was not invincible.
There is not much difference in strength between them because Li Kuangtu has just made a breakthrough.
So he needs to stabilize his realm.
As long as he stabilizes his new state, and then takes a further step, even a small step, his combat effectiveness will be further away from Li Tianlan. When this distance is obvious enough, Li Tianlan's physical advantage will be infinitely reduced. By then, Li Kuangtu believed that even if he couldn't kill Li Tianlan, he could at least severely injure him again and again and regain the leadership.
"Anyway..."
Li Kuangtu whispered: "The current situation is favorable to us. The Purgatory Legion has been destroyed. It can be said that I have almost nothing now. But now I am also the person with the highest level in the dark world. Do you think Zhongzhou will How to arrange for me?"
Before Li Xiao had time to answer, Li Kuangtu added: "When Gu Xingyun fell, Jiang Shangyu also 'falled'."
Li Xiao's expression changed slightly.
The Wang family in Beihai is currently in a state of turmoil due to Wang Xiaoyao's torment.
Gu Xingyun fell.
Jiang Shangyu died.
Zhongzhou is currently at its weakest, but also at its strongest.
It is foreseeable that the next Central Continent will become a battlefield between Li Kuangtu and Li Tianlan.
In order to achieve a balance, as much support as the parliament gives to the East Palace, it will inevitably give as much support to Li Kuangtu.
This situation will be like this at least until the Beihai Wang family recovers, or before Wang Tianzong recovers.
No, Wang Tianzong, Li Tianlan, and Li Kuangtu are all the key to supporting this situation.
With all three of them seriously injured, whoever recovers first and regains strength may break the fragile balance.
From this perspective, the relationship between these three people is completely like a competition that can determine the life and death of the other two parties.
"Li Tianlan will not die."
Li Kuangtu laughed softly: "But I have seen how powerful his opponent is, so he may be able to survive this time, but he will definitely be severely injured and cannot recover in a short time.
There is no need to say more about Wang Tianzong.
Of the three of us, I was the least injured, and I should be the one who recovered the fastest. "
"Time is on my side. It seems that this time, I am luckier."
"If things really turn out like this..."
Li Xiao said slowly: "Then next, should we leave Nanyun and go to Youzhou?"
"Yes."
Li Kuangtu nodded: "But before that, let's go see Jiang Shangyu off. It's rare for him to be so sensible, so we have to give him face."
