The King of Special Warfare

The premise of the plan was to build on everyone’s absolute trust in each other’s strength.

Li Tianlan believed that Cool Breeze, Drifting Cloud, the two Sword Masters of Mount Shu and Fire Man could destroy all the elite of the Jiang family of South America, stationed in Recchi City in the fastest time.

And the other people also believed that Li Tianlan had the strength to fight with Jiang Qiannian.

Jiang Qiannian must die.

The Jiang family of South America must leave the game in eastern Europe with scars in the shortest possible time.

In Zhongzhou State, on the road, on the verge of arriving in eastern Europe, Li Tianlan kept thinking. All the intelligence he had about eastern Europe so far was put together.

His conclusion was simple.

At least for the first few days of the Snowdance Corps’ move into eastern Europe, Li Tianlan could be sure he was safe.

He knew how important the information Qin Weibai used to threaten the Wang family of Beihai was.

That information might not be enough to sink the Wang family of Beihai’s economic giant ship, but it is enough to put it in jeopardy.

The data pointed out a number of problems.

Every problem was a secret of the Wang family of Beihai.

The Wang family of Beihai would not do anything to him until those problems were solved.

...

As for Kunlun City, since Gu Xingyun was seriously injured, Kunlun City had not much spirit. At least for now, Kunlun City was following the Wang family of Beihai in the treatment of the Li family.

Li Tianlan wasn’t sure how long it would take the Wang family of Beihai to solve these problems, but he was sure eastern Europe was safe for him in the beginning.

Security meant space.

Li Tianlan really needed some space to do something.

The Jiang family of South America was one of his main targets, and Jiang Qiannian was the beginning of the plan.

That was why Cool Breeze, Drifting Cloud, the two Sword Masters, and Fire Man made an ambush in this square.

This was the place they had planned—the center of the city, about the same distance from where they were fighting. Li Tianlan was a little further away from here, but just in time to make sure that when he attracted Jiang Qiannian, others could lie in wait. This was the most likely place to kill Jiang Qiannian.

Jiang Qiannian certainly had the power to choose not to come.

But Li Tianlan had the ability to break out of Recchi City with several senior members of the Snowdance Corps to sweep all the elite of the Jiang family of South America when he got rid of Jiang Qiannian.

But Li Tianlan was sure of his value.

He was sure of his value to the Jiang family of South America, the Wang family of Beihai, and Kunlun City.

The plan was not complicated at first.

Trust the strength of his peers.

Trust his value.

So the whole plan had enough possibilities.

Jiang Qiannian’s death was bound to shake the whole Dark World. Li Tianlan did not know the attitude of the Jiang family of South America, but for him, as long as he was here, the Jiang family of South America had only two choices.

Quit or die.

The so-called plan was so abrupt, with so many risks and variables behind it, that it seemed impossibly reckless.

But Li Tianlan knew that if nothing else, this first period would be his freest in the whole eastern European mess.

Only then could he really feel free to do what he wanted to do.

It might all be urgent.

But what he born on his shoulder did not allow him to remain silent.

So what if it was urgent?

Any story needed a beginning.

If the control of the Snowdance Corps was only the beginning of his rise to the top stage of Zhongzhou State, then the action of eastern Europe against the Jiang family of South America was the beginning of his sprint to the summit of the Dark World.

He had only three days.

In three days he must settle everything.

Besides being fast, he still had to be fast.

Jiang Qiannian’s death was silent yet earth-shattering.

...

By the time news of his death began to trickle out of Recchi City and Wulan State, Li Tianlan, who had deliberately lost contact with Zhongzhou State, had moved to an old apartment not far from the city center.

The Natural Healing was highly effective.

In less than two hours, Li Tianlan’s internal and external wounds had completely stabilized.

Back to his best, Li Tianlan walked out of the room.

The other rooms in the apartment were still quiet.

The final performance of Jiang Qiannian in the battle of the square fully illustrated the true Invincible Realm.

The gap between the top of the Holy List and the bottom of the Divine List had become blurred by the dying counterattack.

If Fire Man hadn’t done his best to stop it, and Li Tianlan had faced the move of the Living with Heaven and Earth that nearly killed everyone himself, no matter how powerful the Natural Healing might be, it wouldn’t have allowed Li Tianlan to regain his mobility right now.

After all, he underestimated Jiang Qiannian.

But the underestimation had mixed results.

Jiang Qiannian’s last move was very strong, but they survived.

However, the Living with Heaven and Earth was drawn to the Recchi City army by the Sky-splitting Move, and with the outbreak of infinite power, Recchi City lost at least thousands of its elite, who could participate in battle immediately.

This was undoubtedly good for their future plans.

An average European man, somewhat bald, sat in the living room of this apartment.

His body was straight. When he saw Li Tianlan come out, he unconsciously stood up, looking very formal and serious.

Li Tianlan motioned for him to sit down.

“What was the reaction?” he asked directly.

...

“The news of Jiang Qiannian’s death is out. But so far there has been no feedback from the major powers. People are focusing on something else right now.”

The European man was no longer young, in his fifties, but his face had a natural solemnity and reserve about it, making him a little old-fashioned.

He took one look at Li Tianlan, hesitated and said, “You’re in trouble, Your Highness. In other words, your Snowdance Corps is in trouble. Wulan State and the other two nearby countries have classified Zhongzhou State as hostile because of your action. An hour ago, Wulan State announced they were cutting diplomatic ties with Zhongzhou State. Oh, the busiest one is the United Nations. The United Nations is meeting. Most of the great powers we know attended the conference. So far, even the Snow Country is leaning towards Wulan State.”

He spoke Chinese with great fluency. After the most important message, he paused. When Li Tianlan was done digesting, he whispered, “Now the whole world is waiting for an explanation from Zhongzhou State.”

“And Zhongzhou State...”

He looked into Li Tianlan’s eyes and continued, “Is waiting for your explanation.”

Li Tianlan was silent, just like that he hadn’t responded to Zhongzhou State.

For the time being, he remained silent, and so did Zhongzhou State.

“What’s your name?” Li Tianlan asked suddenly.

...

The middle-aged man stood up again, bowed slightly, and answered softly, “Gandalf. Your Highness, my name is Gandalf Garter.”

Gandalf Garter was a German.

About five years ago, he came to Wulan State from Germany to start a catering business. The business was not quite good, not quite bad, just ordinary. He, his restaurant, like the apartment he owned, was nothing out of the ordinary.

But in fact, in terms of seniority, Gandalf’s seniority in the Samsara Palace was no less than that of some Super Masters who joined the Samsara Palace a little later.

In the Samsara Palace, this was one of the few names who could be remembered by all the high officials.

He was a junior intelligence officer in eastern Europe.

He was responsible for all intelligence gathering in several countries in eastern Europe, with Wulan State as the core.

Gandalf was also one of the few five-star intelligence officers in the secretive but highly sophisticated comprehensive assessment of the Samsara Palace.

Li Tianlan had very little contact with Qin Weibai.

But since becoming the Commander of the Snowdance Corps, he had gradually come into contact with some of the core secrets of this mysterious organization the Samsara Palace.

In the event that he was temporarily cut off from Zhongzhou State, Gandalf was like his eye, as well as a source of logistical support and intelligence.

“Gandalf...” Li Tianlan nodded and repeated his name.

“Well, Gandalf, based on your analysis, what is the bottom line for Zhongzhou State?”

Gandalf was silent for a moment.

“It’s impossible to tell at the moment because it depends on the pressure that the big powers put on Zhongzhou State. Wulan State has defined your action as a war between Zhongzhou State and Wulan State. The big powers now have reasons to step in. Your Highness, it’s not easy for you in Zhongzhou State. It seems to me that rather than trying to guess what the bottom line is for Zhongzhou State, you might as well investigate how much Zhongzhou State believes in you,” Gandalf said slowly.

...

Li Tianlan was silent for a long time.

The two were actually the same question.

Zhongzhou State could not choose to go to war with the whole world.

Li Tianlan was bound to be dumped when Zhongzhou State could not bear the international pressure.

Zhongzhou State might make the decision even earlier if he was distrusted.

And Li Tianlan’s job was to turn things around in Wulan State before Zhongzhou State decided to dump him.

He reversed not only his own weakness, of course, but that of the whole country.

...

This would be a real sea change.

“No surprise,” Li Tianlan said flatly.

...

“It’s not going to be pretty,” Gandalf reminded him.

...

“It’s not that bad.”

A voice broke out.

Fire Man’s breath was still weak but steady. He went out of the room and said quietly, “Zhongzhou State will give us at least two or three days.”

Two or three days.

Li Tianlan could only stay at his best for two or three days.

He had to recuperate as soon as time passed.

The situation could not be defined as grim or light.

This could only be summed up in what Li Tianlan just said.

No surprise.

If they could achieve their goal of coming to Wulan State, he and the Snowdance Corps would be able to establish enough prestige in the Dark World directly in Zhongzhou State.

If they failed, there was no explanation.

...

It didn’t need any explanation.

It was like a big gamble.

It looked scary, but Li Tianlan had plenty of chips.

...

Li Tianlan silently felt the strange feeling of being on the cusp of the storm, with mixed feelings.

“That’s enough.”

He suddenly looked at Fire Man and asked, “How are you feeling, old man?”

“Am I weaker than you?” Fire Man snorted.

Back then, he limited himself to the Fire-flaming Realm. At the real limit, he never lost to Li Tianlan. Now, three years later, his state had slipped, but he was more explosive. He was old but still confident.

Li Tianlan grinned, his eyes growing lighter and warmer.

He spent more than a year with Fire Man in a desert prison.

Except for Li Honghe and the Li family’s veterans, he grew up with Fire Man the longest.

“Confirm where Schenker was.”

Li Tianlan took a sudden look at Gandalf and said quietly.

Jiang Qiannian was dead.

The supreme Rekvia family Patriarch in Wulan State was their next target.

Gandalf nodded and began to call.

“Now we’re not just looking for Schenker, we have another person to worry about.”

Fire Man suddenly looked at Li Tianlan and said, “Jiang Qiansong.”

“He and Jiang Qiannian were not brothers, but they were better than brothers. Now that Jiang Qiannian died here, he would come here in the first place after he got the news.”

Fire Man paused and suddenly asked, “I hear there’s a Black Ghost in the Dark World in the last few years?”

“Yes, Black Ghost is his code name. He is the leader of dozens of African tribes and the Guardian Deity in Africa,” Li Tianlan said slowly, recalling his information.

...

“That’s it. I heard that the Jiang family of South America was going to set up a death camp in Africa to counter the influence of the Wang family of Beihai in Africa. By now, they should be working,” Fire Man muttered.

...

Li Tianlan took one look at him, as if thinking of something, and laughed. “Old man, what is your grudge against the two of the Jiang family of South America? Jiang Qiannian acted strangely when he saw you.”

“I taught them a lesson. When his father came to make amends to our Li family, they both called me uncle. Maybe they don’t like it,” Fire Man said casually.

...

“Is that all?”

Li Tianlan looked at him suspiciously.

“It must be more than that.”

A voice with a rich smile sounded. Han Chongyang, the Yin and Yang Sword Master of Mount Shu came out with a smile. “Fire Man, is there any gossip left unsaid? Just now the Second Master saw you, as if you had killed his father. How could he act like for calling you uncle?”

Fire Man mused, with the feeling of helplessness that a brave man never mentioned the past.

...

...

At the same time, a flight from South America to eastern Europe were landing at Recchi City International Airport.

A middle-aged man, about 50, got off the plane with a black man.

The middle-aged man was not particularly attractive. His average face was a little darker, but his eyes were calm, even gentle.

His whole body did not exude the slightest harsh aura, and his word and action were extremely gentle and casual.

But the black man standing behind him was like a sharp sword, surging with fierce murderous spirit.

...

...

On the morning of August eighth, without any warning, Jiang Qiansong, the Patriarch of the Jiang family of South America, came to eastern Europe with the African Guardian Deity Black Ghost.

...

It was a bit cold in Wulan State at the moment.

Recchi City’s airport was even colder.

Jiang Qiansong walked leisurely.

He had just stepped off the plane and had not yet received word of Jiang Qiannian’s death, so he acted at random.

“Master, who are we going to kill?” Black Ghost asked in slightly stiff Chinese.

...

The Jiang family of South America rooted in South America, but they insisted on speaking Chinese within their family, so all their retainers were required to master Chinese.

“Kill a lot of people.”

Jiang Qiansong narrowed his eyes and chuckled, “Anyone who is against the Jiang family of South America should be killed.”

His voice was calm and gentle.

Black Ghost nodded and stiffly said, “They should be killed!”

Everyone thought that Black Ghost was the ally of the Jiang family of South America from Africa, when no one thought, the famous Black Ghost was just their minion.

An Invincible Realm expert would not appear in the Dark World out of thin air.

Any Invincible Realm expert had cause and effect.

If you could not see the cause and effect, that just proved there were things in the world you didn’t control.

The Jiang family of South America had set up a secret death camp in a mountain range in Africa decades earlier, under the name of a school.

Over the course of decades, fewer than 10 of the tens of thousands of Africans emerged alive from the death camp.

This was a small number.

But everyone who came out of the death camp was a real expert.

After being watered by countless blood, only Black Ghost was the only Invincible Realm expert.

Jiang Qiansong didn’t feel it was a pity.

It was already good to have one Invincible Realm expert among tens of thousands of Africans.

From the day Black Ghost broke through into the Invincible Realm, Jiang Qiansong was sure he would be his best assistant, even partner.

So in the decisive battle in the Heaven Capital three years ago when Jiang Qianxie was killed, and the murderous weapon, the Legend of Qin lost, Jiang Qiansong summoned Black Ghost to come to him from Africa.

The power of Black Ghost was not strong.

In terms of comprehensive strength, Black Ghost could probably hover in the top 10 of the Holy List.

But when it came to attacking power, his attacks were so fierce that he could even rank at the bottom of the Divine List.

His greatest weakness was in defense.

Jiang Qiansong was best at defense.

Jiang Qiansong ranked number 10 on the Divine List, and had a code name that didn’t sound good.

Black Turtle.

Turtles were good at defense.

Although the Patriarch of the Jiang family of South America was not at the top of the Divine List, in the Dark World, his defense was generally regarded as the best in the world.

He and Black Ghost were good at attack and defense, respectively.

...

...

Plus Jiang Qiannian, this time the Jiang family of South America had three Invincible Realm experts in eastern Europe, and they could make up for each other’s weakness!

Jiang Qiansong walked out of the airport and looked up at the rising sun in Recchi City.

The light of the morning sun fell on him so brightly.

Jiang Qiansong suddenly felt that he was standing tall enough to see the whole world.

Three Invincible Realm experts, countless elites, the roots behind eastern Europe, and trusted allies.

Jiang Qiansong laughed.

At this moment, he had no idea that he would fail in this mess.

Not at all.

He stood quietly at the airport, feeling so powerful.

It was the feeling of everything being in control.

Here he stood, like a king.

...

In a rundown apartment in Recchi City, Fire Man finally could not put up with the question that Li Tianlan casually asked first, but Han Chongyang got more and more serious about.

Cool Breeze and Drifting Cloud had gradually recovered.

Yun Qinxi also went out of her room.

When the Yin and Yang Sword Master of Mount Shu asked Fire Man exactly what grudge Jiang Qiannian and Jiang Qiansong held against him for unknown times, Fire Man finally told the truth.

He was plain and dull, so when he told the truth, he appeared extremely sincere.

At the airport, Jiang Qiansong stood alone, feeling like a king.

Inside the apartment, Fire Man scratched his slightly thin hair and said ruefully, “It’s really nothing. The two brothers said my urine tasted good.”
