Chapter 468 - Break of Reincarnation
Chapter 468 Break of Reincarnation
It was still raining in Eastern Europe.
The rain that lasted for a few days and nights wreaked havoc in the whole city with the wind. The rain was overwhelming, messy, and dense, looking blank and desolate.
In Eastern Europe, there was no definite alternation of seasons. The cool summer had passed, the rainy season was over, and the whole of Eastern Europe was about to enter the cold winter. Therefore, the atmosphere of the entire Wulan State seemed to be suppressed by the cold wind and rain.
The drastic changes in the Rekvia family directly tilted Wulan State’s position toward Zhongzhou State unconditionally. For several days in a row, led by Prime Minister Reeker, who served as the interim president, several senior officials had issued carefully worded, sincere, and apologetic apologies to Zhongzhou State and severely condemned the despicable and sinister behaviors of the Jiang family of South America. All the statements were issued by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Wulan State, making them not only known throughout the country but throughout the world.
With the clear statements of Wulan State, Oga State and Ross State also announced that the previous dispute was a misunderstanding. The two countries were also willing to take full responsibility for this dispute and provide adequate compensation to Zhongzhou State.
For a moment it seemed that the apologies from the three Eastern European countries were reverberating through the world.
The international image of Zhongzhou State had been completely reversed in the fastest time. When people around the world believed that Zhongzhou State was innocent, all the major powers in the world that had exerted tremendous pressure on Zhongzhou State or even made clear threats to Zhongzhou State at the United Nations conference all awkwardly remained silent.
Every power knew what the truth was, and from those statements, they could also see the humiliation of Wulan, Oga, and Ross State. But in national games, the truth was often the least valuable. Only the winner could decide everything.
Since Zhongzhou State won the battle, it naturally had the right to write the facts.
Snow Country, the only hegemonic country in Eastern Europe, had even extremely toughly demanded that Zhongzhou State withdraw from Eastern Europe at a United Nations conference, otherwise, it would bring the war to Zhongzhou State. It turned out that the country was in an awkward situation. The president, known internationally for his tough measures, had made a phone call to Zhongzhou State and expressed his intention to visit Zhongzhou State in the near future through the embassy on the first day when Wulan State issued an apology.
It was clear that he was going to offer a humble apology.
After all, the chaos happened in Eastern Europe. As the dominator of Eastern Europe, when Snow Country could not expel Zhongzhou State from Eastern Europe, it must consider the attitude of Zhongzhou State—an overlord of the world. Although other countries’ actions were not as obvious as that of Snow Country, they also expressed their apologies to Zhongzhou State from different channels.
The specific way these apologies were presented was the national interests.
The change of Wulan State that Li Tianlan caused continued to set off waves in an awkward and weird atmosphere, while the major forces in the Dark World had already reacted in the fastest time and swarmed into Wulan State.
On August 8th, the chairman of the American Hero International Group’s board of directors came to Eastern Europe and investigated the investment environment here. He set the investment direction in the shortest time possible. The Hero Group thought that the five countries around Wulan State, such as the nearby Oga State and Ross State, were the place with the highest investment value.
The Hero Group was the absolute overlord of America, and in the Dark World, it had another name.
The American Heroes’ Club.
The chairman of the board of directors of the Hero Group was the chairman of the Heroes’ Club, who was an expert with the strength very close to the peak of the Invincible Realm on the Divine List!
With the declaration of the Heroes’ Club, in the early morning of August 9th, the biggest religious organization in Eastern Europe, the Eastern Church, also issued a statement at the same time. Patriarch Calander, one of the four patriarchs of Eastern Church, was about to patrol Wulan State and bring the glory of God to this war-stricken country.
In the night on August 9th.
Kass Rotter, the God of War of Star State, officially issued a statement. Terrorist “Pluto”, who had been wanted by Star State for nearly ten years and had caused great losses to Star State, had sneaked into Wulan State. Kass Rotter hoped that Wulan State would be able to provide him with convenience. The Men in Black would immediately enter Wulan State, and at the same time, they would try their best to protect the stability of the country, preventing terrorist activities from happening.
At the same time, the Fantasy World, one of the superpowers of North America, responded to the call and showed that they were willing to cooperate with the Men in Black’s actions in Wulan State.
On the morning of August 10th.
Aresis, the commander of the Holy Disarmament Corps of the Vatican, came to Recchi City. The Holy Disarmament Corps and the Holy Punishment Sacrifice Group were on the move.
Angel, the Holy Virgin of the Vatican, who had been walking with the Snowdance Corps, left the Snowdance Corps and re-entered the team of the Vatican.
On the same night.
The Holy Disarmament Corps, which was known as the most powerful force in the Vatican, was attacked.
The leader of the Dark Knights of Northern Europe, Black Knight, personally killed 15 Holy Disarmament Warriors. He left before Aresis made his move and escaped unscathed.
After the several superpowers, more and more medium-sized and small-sized organizations in the Dark World began to enter Recchi City.
On August 11th.
There was a violent storm in Recchi City. Lightning flashed and thunder rumbled.
The sky seemed to be always gloomy, and the humidity in the air was constantly increasing. Half of the rainy season in Wulan State had already passed, and the increasingly cold chill swept here from the distant polar regions. Even Recchi City, which was not affected by the polar day and polar night, now seemed to be in the twilight even in the day.
The whole city seemed cold and restless in the undercurrent.
In just a few days, the entire Recchi City was in a turbulent situation.
The major forces frequently made appointments with the high-level officials and the influential and authoritative figures of Wulan State in a nearly ostentatious manner. It seemed that all actions had not been covered at all.
The Snowdance Corps had been silent.
The reason was simple.
From the battle on August 7th to now, Li Tianlan had been in a coma all the time.
A coma under severe injuries was normal.
But it was not the right time for Li Tianlan to be in a coma.
Zhongzhou State occupied Wulan State, but Li Tianlan had no time to suppress all the variables, which was equivalent to giving other super forces a chance.
Although the chance was very slim.
Although Zhongzhou State had already taken the absolute advantage, when they entered Wulan State at this point, they still had a chance to turn the tables.
Wulan State was too important.
It was the most important strategic place for the whole of Europe. Taking control of this place was equivalent to holding an important lifeline of Eastern Europe and Western Europe. Its benefits could support the rapid rise of a super-wealthy family. No one was willing to give up this place. Now that there was an opportunity, almost everyone was swarming in.
The most important thing was that the Shadow Throne was moving as well.
The intelligence in the Dark World had always been extremely timely.
Everyone knew that the elites of the Shadow Throne began to enter Recchi City.
The Shadow Throne had never concealed this piece of news.
Similarly, everyone knew that the Shadow Throne was cooperating with the Wang family of Beihai.
The Snowdance Corps was now representing Zhongzhou State in Eastern Europe.
But who dared to say that the Wang family of Beihai could not represent Zhongzhou State?
Who dared to say that the Sword Emperor of Zhongzhou State could not represent the Wang family of Beihai?
As a close ally of the Wang family of Beihai, the Shadow Throne was moving, which at least showed that the Shadow Throne had never given up Wulan State. It also showed that the Sword Emperor was not satisfied with the fact that the Snowdance Corps occupied Wulan State.
The Sword Emperor and Zhongzhou State wanted Wulan State.
However, the Sword Emperor did not like the Snowdance Corps’ ownership of Wulan State.
If some of these grievances were given a deep thought, all major forces could find countless opportunities. Although the Sword Emperor was strong, before things had come to a close, no one thought they would lose.
Just like the failure of the Jiang family of South America. The encirclement of three superiors of the Invincible Realm and nearly a thousand elites was turned into a killing feast in Eastern Europe by Li Tianlan.
The weak won the strong was something that happened every year in the Dark World.
Therefore, while Li Tianlan was still in a coma and Wang Tianzong was silent, the major forces were using all means to try to establish their own foundations in Recchi City.
Wang Tianzong seemed to have seen it but also seemed not to have seen it. He never expressed any opinions about it, nor did he target any forces.
No one knew what Wang Tianzong was thinking.
As the superpowers entered Wulan State one after another, the situation in the country was stable, but the actions of the superpowers gradually brought some changes to the situation. Although the superpowers could not completely destroy everything Zhongzhou State had in Wulan State in the shortest time, in the long run, it would make people feel uncomfortable.
Moreover, the super forces that could dominate the Dark World had countless resources behind them. Who knew what they would do if they were allowed to go on like this?
More and more doubts began to gather inside the top management of Zhongzhou State.
At noon on August 12th.
When General Anderson, the Minister of Defense of Recchi City, was assassinated in his office, Zhongzhou State finally changed their doubts into real actions as the news spread out.
President Li Huacheng of Zhongzhou State personally held a video conference with Wang Tianzong.
Li Huacheng was alone.
Wang Tianzong was also alone.
Separated by a screen, the two men, who had reached the peak in their respective fields, were unusually silent.
Wang Tianzong glanced at Li Huacheng and asked in a calm tone, “What’s the matter?”
His tone was bland, but Li Huacheng was keenly aware of a very bad mood brewing in Wang Tianzong’s eyes.
Li Huacheng narrowed his eyes and asked lightly, “How much do you know about the situation in Recchi City?”
“I don’t know about that.”
Wang Tianzong responded straightforwardly and said in a tough tone, “I’ve been in a bad mood these days. Is there any change in the situation?”
Li Huacheng seemed to have a fit of anger in his heart, but he hid it.
In the history of Zhongzhou State in recent decades, he was indeed not a very mighty president, but that did not mean that he was incompetent. He was the president of Zhongzhou State. Who would act so casually in the presence of him in Zhongzhou State?
Wang Tianzong.
Only Wang Tianzong!
“The current situation has not changed much.”
Li Huacheng softened his tone and said, “But if you keep silent, it’s not necessarily the case. The Shadow Throne has entered Recchi City. You know what that means.”
Wang Tianzong asked, “What does that mean?”
He was sitting in the hotel’s living room. It was raining outside the window, and the sky was gloomy. There was no light on in the living room. The dim light fell on him, and he looked a little dark all over.
“Your cooperation with Rothschild is not a secret. The Shadow Throne entered Wulan City in a high profile, which is equivalent to announcing to the world that you don’t support Marshal Li Tianlan’s action of assuming personal command in Wulan State. It’s almost like publicizing your feud with Tianlan. That’s why the superpowers are so rampant after entering Recchi City. Don’t you understand these reasons?”
Li Huacheng’s face was serious and dignified. He hurled a question at Wang Tianzong forcefully. With heavy pressure, the question seemed to shake the whole screen.
Wang Tianzong glanced at him and said, “My feud with Li Tianlan? Did you compare him to me? What right does he have to do that?”
Li Huacheng completely became serious and said, “He is now the marshal of the Zhongzhou State Snowdance Corps. From this position, only he has a public office and can represent Zhongzhou State in Eastern Europe. Why can’t he compare with you?”
Wang Tianzong was silent for a while and nodded. “It makes sense. But there are some things that don’t need to be publicized. Even if I do something, the whole Dark World knows that Li Tianlan and I are indeed at odds.”
Li Huacheng frowned.
Li Huacheng said in a deep voice, “At this time, you and Tianlan are in Europe, surrounded by a group of enemies. Our internal contradictions can be solved by ourselves at home. You are abroad, but you cannot unite against your enemies. Tianzong, isn’t this a joke?!”
Wang Tianzong was indifferent and said blandly, “Tell me about your arrangement.”
Li Huacheng said in a deep voice, “I’m now making a formal request to you on behalf of Zhongzhou State. Get the Shadow Throne out of Recchi City at once. That’s the only request.”
Shadow Throne’s high-profile entry into Recchi City led to a chaotic scene in Recchi City.
If the Shadow Throne left Recchi City, it also meant that Wang Tianzong did not welcome the Shadow Throne. It was already very polite to send them out in advance. If the people who stayed there still did not leave, it was likely that they would face the sword edge of Listen to the Sea.
With this news, Li Huacheng had every reason to believe that most of the forces gathered in Wulan State at this time would leave dejectedly. Even if what remained were superpowers, they would only resort to covert actions instead of acting boldly.
Wang Tianzong said, “I’ll think about it.”
“Comrade Wang Tianzong, I am not discussing with you. This is an order! Beihai is part of Zhongzhou State. I am the president of Zhongzhou State. At the critical moment, I can order Beihai and you. Stability must be restored to Wulan State. It’s about the interests of the entire Zhongzhou State in Eastern Europe, not the battlefield where you settle your grievances. If we lose Wulan State, how will you come back!? Um? How will you come back?!”
Wang Tianzong watched Li Huacheng quietly.
Li Huacheng’s voice was very loud, penetrating the screen and causing hums and buzzes.
When all the sounds died away, Wang Tianzong said lightly, “Are you finished?”
“Don’t you have anything to say?”
Li Huacheng’s tone was cold.
“You are too noisy.”
After that, Wang Tianzong turned off the communication directly.
He stood up and looked out the window.
The rain outside the window was messy and violent.
The wind and rain seemed never to end.
Wang Tianzong’s eyes were calm, and he seemed extremely focused.
“If I let go… nothing in the world would exist…”
He murmured to himself, took a deep breath, and finally shook his head.
There was a knock at the door.
The door was pushed open.
KingTong, dressed in splendid attire, looking majestic and dignified, came in.
She happened to see Wang Tianzong shaking his head slightly. She froze, asking subconsciously, “What’s wrong?”
“I’m fine.”
Wang Tianzong suddenly asked, “How many people of the Shadow Throne have arrived here?”
KingTong felt a little weird, but she still told the truth. “Twenty masters above the Thunder-shocking Realm—two of them are in the Half-step Invincible Realm, six of them are at the peak of the Thunder-shocking Realm. The troops in the Fire-flaming Realm are on the move. The current number has exceeded 100.”
Wang Tianzong glanced at KingTong.
In the chaos of Eastern Europe, the role of the experts at the peak of the Thunder-shocking Realm and even the Half-step Invincible Realm experts had been infinitely reduced.
But Eastern Europe had gathered the general trend of the Dark World.
It was the battlefield for the Peak Invincible Realm experts who were on the Divine List.
It was even the battlefield for the Chosen One.
But how could the Dark World always have a general trend?
Under normal circumstances, the Peak Thunder-shocking Realm experts were already the power that could determine most of the cases in the Dark World.
There were not many such people in any force.
The Shadow Throne had mobilized so many people in such a short period of time. If they were to break the deadlock first, the price KingTong was prepared to pay this time was indeed enormous.
“What arrangements do you have?” KingTong asked, raising her eyebrows.
Wang Tianzong said thoughtfully, “I’m thinking that the elites of the Shadow Throne should probably go for a stroll in the Office of the President.”
KingTong’s enchanting body shook, and she looked up at Wang Tianzong. “Are you crazy?”
Wang Tianzong did not speak.
KingTong’s face was cloudy, and she couldn’t help but ask, “Why?”
The Shadow Throne entered Recchi City in an ostentatious and high-profile manner, so it attracted many super forces.
Now the Shadow Throne was going to the Office of the President…
The first batch of more than 600 elite members of the Snowdance Corps was stationed in the Office of the President.
The second batch of two thousand elite members was stationed near the Office of the President.
Li Tianlan was in a coma in the Office of the President.
If the Shadow Throne went to the Office of the President, it stimulated not only the nerves of the Snowdance Corps but also those of Zhongzhou State.
Wang Tianzong did not speak.
“What exactly do you want?”
KingTong stared at Wang Tianzong’s side face.
Wang Tianzong was silent for a while and then slowly said, “Pressure.”
“Pressure?”
Wang Tianzong whispered, “Only enough pressure can help me break through. I want to make the situation completely out of control and bring me enough pressure. Maybe that is the opportunity for me to break through.”
“If…”
KingTong hesitated and finally couldn’t help asking, “What if you don’t succeed?”
Once the situation was completely out of control, Wang Tianzong’s failure to break through was tantamount to the loss of Wulan State and even that of the Arctic Ocean Command. The foundation of Zhongzhou State in Eastern Europe for more than 20 years would be completely destroyed. The casualties of Zhongzhou State experts were heavy…
KingTong was totally afraid to think what kind of crime would Wang Tianzong commit.
“Then let go.”
Wang Tianzong smiled, and his smile was very relaxed. However, KingTong apparently felt that some heavy things were slowly emerging in his eyes, and she was almost choked by the oppression.
Let go?
Let go what?
“It’s nothing. Today’s situation in Eastern Europe is a deadlock for me, but the same is true for other forces. However, I have a lot of options. But at this stage, Zhongzhou State is the only winner. For those forces, if they want to break the deadlock, they can only destroy the interests of Zhongzhou State. They have only one choice. When they make this choice, they must defeat me, so I simply mess up the situation completely.”
Wang Tianzong smiled. “If the situation is out of control, people in the world will hit Zhongzhou State together. If the situation is under control, people in the world will hit the Wang family of Beihai. If you were me, how would you choose?”
KingTong asked, “Do you want Zhongzhou State to bear the pressure with the Wang family of Beihai?”
“I am the patriarch of the Wang family of Beihai.”
Wang Tianzong said, “Moreover, I don’t want Zhongzhou State to bear the pressure with me. I just don’t want to be separated from Zhongzhou State. Zhongzhou State must stand with me and face the attacks from the Dark World together. Li Tianlan did occupy Wulan State. So what? When you get it, keeping it is the most important thing.”
“This…”
KingTong had just spoken when a knock on the door came with great haste.
Wang Tianzong glanced at the door and said calmly, “Come in.”
An extremely unexpected figure appeared at the door.
Head of intelligence of the Wang family of Beihai.
Xuan Ming!
There was a flash of surprise in Wang Tianzong’s eyes. “What’s the matter?”
Xuan Ming looked dignified, but with no incredible fear.
He saw one thing twice, so it was not strange to him.
Holding a large bag in his hand, he solemnly said, “Your Majesty, here’s something you might want to have a look.”
Wang Tianzong nodded. “Give it to me.”
Xuan Ming handed him the bag in his hand.
Wang Tianzong opened the bag and pulled out an X-ray from the inside.
“I have verified the X-ray. It is not fake and is absolutely true.”
Xuan Ming took a deep breath. “It suddenly appeared on my desk. I don’t know its origin.”
Wang Tianzong did not speak.
He had been completely absorbed by the contents of the X-ray.
The X-ray was only about part of the human body.
It looked like the chest.
But it didn’t matter.
The important thing was the dense scratches on the X-ray.
How familiar was this scene?
Wang Tianzong watched this scene quietly, and his eyes became a little unfocused.
He had seen the X-ray of Qin Weibai when she was a child.
The dense sword marks on it represented a similar but different sword strike for it was all-inclusive. The sword marks continued to spread and frantically destroyed Qin Weibai’s body functions.
And on this X-ray, it was also a sword strike.
This sword strike was very different from the one that Wang Tianzong saw at the time.
The sword strike he saw back then was Six Paths of Reincarnation.
It was all-inclusive.
Now, this sword strike was of absolute cohesion.
All the Sword Energy condensed from all sides. With unparalleled penetrating power, it rushed directly to the person’s heart.
This sword strike was the Twenty-fourth Blade · Break of Reincarnation!
And this sword strike had some similarities with the one he had seen before.
The two sword strikes could hurt the targets without killing them, given the distribution of the Sword Energy. They were sword strikes that no one could make!
At present, it was completely impossible for an expert in any Martial Arts realm to show this precise control.
Someone at the peak of the Invincible Realm couldn’t do that.
The Half-step Chosen One couldn’t.
Wang Tianzong couldn’t do it even after he broke through.
Both sword strikes seemed to be done by supernatural beings.
Wang Tianzong knew about the Six Paths of Reincarnation.
He was sure that no one in the Wang family of Beihai could do that.
That sword strike fell on Qin Weibai.
Nonetheless, the killer was definitely not in the Wang family of Beihai.
But what did this sword strike mean?
Who did it?
Who was the taker?
The key was…
Was the person who did this alive?
And more importantly, if the person who did this at that time was alive, did he belong to the Li family?
