Chapter 147 The Kusanagi Force

Li Tianlan didn’t know what was going on, but the moment Dubian Xiangyuan stepped back and began to speak, he knew something was wrong. After the words were translated into Chinese, they sounded completely baffling, and the Japanese pronunciation of them was unspeakably weird. The voice of the old man echoed in the institute. Li Tianlan instinctively sensed an eerie aura of danger.

“Flying fire, quicksand, white bear, trampling…”

The voice of the old man was rapid and it continued to sound without a break.

Without the slightest hesitation, Li Tianlan rushed straight to Dubian Xiangyuan.

The distance between the two was originally more than 20 meters. However, with one advancing and the other retreating, their distance was shortened in an instant. The Human Emperor sparkled. The surging sword intent was gathered in front of Dubian Xiangyuan, and he was completely shrouded in it in an instant.

In the twinkling of an eye, bright and ghastly lightning encircled Dubian Xiangyuan from head to toe. The lightning and Sword Energy were quickly intertwined in front of him. The old scholar’s body was covered with blood, and dark red blood spattered on his white suit. Tiny spots of blood scattered all over his body and looked appalling.

The Thunder-shocking Realm master who had been defeated by Li Tianlan in a very short time had flung himself at Li Tianlan in spite of everything. Due to flashes of lightning on his body, the whole laboratory was pervaded by a dazzling, deep, pale blue.

The lightning flashed across Li Tianlan’s body without striking him and then built up layers of defense in front of Dubian Xiangyuan.

The sword radiance grew sharper.

The lightning grew dazzling.

The two were intertwined. The sharp sword intent tore everything in its path, but time elapsed rapidly.

“Missing, fish and shrimp, flickering light, glorious youth…”

Dubian Xiangyuan’s body kept moving backwards and his eyes were fixed on Li Tianlan. There was no anger or disgust at the intruder in his eyes; his eyes were calm and feverish, with a deeply contradictory expectation.

The lightning around him grew weaker and weaker, but his voice became louder and louder.

“Billows! Huge waves! Misty rain! Sunset!”

Rumble…

In the laboratory, the three statues vibrated with each word, and there were numerous cracks all over them.

“Crack…”

Large pieces of stone skin came off.

Vaguely, the outlines of three human figures appeared in the institute.

Xitian Mingzi remained where she was and was unable to hide her fear and despair.

Li Tianlan had no idea what all this meant, but he had guessed the truth.

As the strongest force in East Island, the Kusanagi Force had always been a top secret. Had it not been for some special reasons, Xitian Mingzi, the daughter of a top wealthy family, would never have known of it. Even so, she did not know much about this highly secretive force in East Island.

She only vaguely knew that the establishment of Kusanagi Force was closely related to Night Spirit and Xitian Financial Group. It was an almost invincible force, and just the other day, she got the news again.

The Kusanagi Force needed to be aroused.

Arousing, if it was put coldly, was the same as activating!

And the words that Dubian Xiangyuan blurted out now were probably the activation code of the Kusanagi Force.

All kinds of rays flickered in the institute, and an aura of sharpness almost pervaded the whole space. Xitian Mingzi, however, looked more and more terrified.

The whole plan went horribly wrong when they rushed into the lab.

Normally, the Black Sun Institute was arguably the most dangerous site on Li Tianlan’s hunting list, but it would also be the easiest breakthrough point after he got the reset password from Xitian Mingzi. There were plenty of high-tech weapons, but few of the elites guarded here. There were only a dozen scholars and researchers and a small unit of the Kusanagi Force.

The Kusanagi Force, however, needed to be aroused.

So as long as they killed Dubian Xiangyuan who had the complete code as soon as possible when they broke into the lab, they didn’t have to worry about the threat of the Kusanagi Force.

That was the “one fatal strike” Xitian Mingzi said before entering.

But neither she nor Li Tianlan expected that there was a second person in the laboratory besides Dubian Xiangyuan.

Moreover, the person was an expert whose strength was close to the Peak Stage of the Thunder-shocking Realm.

Xitian Mingzi had met this middle-aged man. He was General Tengyuan Ping, one of the high officials in the Divine Wind Force.

Why was he here?!

Although Li Tianlan was a young Heavenly Son from Zhongzhou State, after all, he was of the Fire-flaming Realm. When fighting an expert whose strength was close to the Peak Stage of the Thunder-shocking Realm, he could not seckill him even if he was able to win. That was enough time for Dubian Xiangyuan to activate a small unit of the Kusanagi Force in the lab.

Tengyuan Ping.

This was the biggest variable in this action.

Sunset!

Just as the last word came out, a stiff but resonant voice suddenly filled the laboratory, wild and cold.

In the laboratory, the stone skin of the three statues had completely fallen off and a thick layer of dust had fallen to the ground. Three figures, each over two meters tall, directly took a step forward and said, “Correct password!”

“No. 9 protect me! No. 7 and No. 8, kill him!”

Dubian Xiangyuan ordered crisply, pointing at Li Tianlan without hesitation.

The lightning in front of him was almost completely shattered by the sword radiance. The blood gushed from every part of his body, making him look abnormally wretched.

Li Tianlan’s long sword shook. Just as he intended to slash Dubian Xiangyuan once more, behind him, Tengyuan Ping charged toward him and his hands grasped his shoulders.

Blood dripped from the mouth of the high official in the Divine Wind Force and his vital force was weak. The Thunder-shocking Realm expert seemed to have exhausted the greater part of his strength in protecting Dubian Xiangyuan just now. “You are a dead man,” he sneered, breathing hard.

Li Tianlan withdrew his long sword, turned and elbowed Tengyuan Ping aside without hesitation.

“Bang!”

The previous fight had consumed most of Tengyuan Ping’s physical power, but he still blocked this blow forcibly. As a result, he was knocked out of the room, and the sounds of bones breaking rang out. Tengyuan Ping groaned bitterly. Obviously, one of his arms was broken.

Blood was oozing from Li Tianlan’s two shoulders. He frowned slightly and looked at the several blood holes on his shoulders which were dug out by Tengyuan Ping with his fingers. Before he could react, the sharp whistle suddenly sounded behind him as if the air cracked.

The Kusanagi Force!

Li Tianlan had no time to fight with Tengyuan Ping. He suddenly turned around, and the moment when his body retreated to a certain distance, he thrust forward with a sword in hand!

The raging fire rose above the blade.

The sword intent was stirring.

For an instant, Li Tianlan was surrounded by fire, and long swords of flames floated around him. As he thrust forward, countless sword shadows rushed toward the two burly figures in front of him at the same time.

Assault!

Li Tianlan rushed forward.

At the same time, the two figures were dashing forward.

The two sides were five meters apart.

The distance between them was instantly shortened.

Li Tianlan saw for the first time the Kusanagi Force he had just heard of.

No. 7, No. 8, and No. 9.

No. 9 was standing beside Dubian Xiangyuan, looking at all this coldly and motionlessly.

While No. 7 and No. 8 were in charge of attacking.

No matter where they were, they were really big and burly, let alone in East Island, where people there were relatively short, because they were more than two meters tall. They were bald, and without eyebrows or beards, their faces were not ugly, but they looked very strange. Their eyes were even weirder because they were mechanical and dull, yet there was an incomparable murderous look in their eyes.

Their muscles bulged as if they were going to explode. Their bodies looked bulky, but they moved with great agility.

Most importantly, they seemed to be fearless and ignore everything!

Their heavy bodies raced through the laboratory, causing the floor to tremble slightly. Facing the blazing fire and sword shadows, No. 7 kept moving forward. He stretched his arms and his huge body rushed straight toward Li Tianlan against the blade.

No. 8, however, jumped behind No. 7. He shook his fists and planned to hit right on Li Tianlan’s head.

They were sober, cold, crazy, and mechanically rigid.

They worked well together, with one attacking before and the other behind. The moment No. 8 jumped, Li Tianlan could only feel the surge of power!

There was no ice or fire in the air.

No. 8 shook his fists, and the air gave an explosive roar. A great deal of air was madly compressed down from above together, with an indescribable ferocity!

“Clang!”

The blade of Li Tianlan’s long sword was circled by flames. With all his strength, he stabbed straight in No. 7’s heart.

The imaginary image of the long sword piercing the chest and blood spilling did not appear.

The sword pierced the garment, but then it was impeded by something as hard and steady as a steel plate.

No. 7’s body seemed unusually slippery, and the firelight was half extinguished the moment it touched him. He straightened up against the blade. Far from advancing, the peerlessly sharp Human Emperor began to curve.

Li Tianlan’s pupils contracted all of a sudden.

Waving his fists, No. 8 jumped over No. 7 and hit hard downward.

Li Tianlan’s facial expression changed for the first time. His body quickly became illusory and then appeared behind No. 7.

“Boom!”

No. 8’s body fell to the ground. The joints all over his body shook, and from within came the distinct sound of metal striking. Li Tianlan’s shadow had dissipated, and the smoke and dust were flying all over the room. No. 8 failed to hit Li Tianlan, but the impact of his blow made a hole nearly half a meter deep into the ground. Numerous cracks filled the ground, and the whole laboratory shook violently.

Li Tianlan felt the shock for the first time. Without hesitation, he swung the sword again and thrust it into the back side of the head of No. 7.

“Watch out!”

Xitian Mingzi suddenly shrieked in fright.

Li Tianlan’s heart sank. Before he could do anything else, No. 7 turned around abruptly with a sweep of his foot as if he had eyes on the back side of his head.

“Crack!”

The long sword struck No. 7’s forehead hard. The blade cut through the skin but could not advance any further.

No. 7’s face was expressionless and he kicked Li Tianlan hard in the waist.

In a split second, Li Tianlan had no time to change positions with his shadow and was swept away by a powerful foot.

His body flew nearly twenty meters in the air, knocking a large number of precise instruments down. He then spat out a mouthful of blood.

Xitian Mingzi exclaimed. She subconsciously ran to Li Tianlan and muttered desperately, “They have special alloys in their bodies. You can’t kill them. They belong to the Kusanagi Force and are the perfect combinations of technology and biochemistry. We are doomed.”

Li Tianlan wiped the blood off his mouth expressionlessly and felt the pain brought by his almost broken waist. He fought back the feeling of dizziness and said calmly, “How do you know that?”

“That batch of alloys…”

Xitian Mingzi added with a wry smile, “They were made by Xitian Financial Group. To be precise, they were snatched from elsewhere by Night Spirit and were then processed by Xitian Financial Group. I didn’t know what East Island has done with them until today.”

Li Tianlan was shocked. He asked subconsciously, swallowing a mouthful of blood, “Do you know their weaknesses?”

“Weaknesses?”

Xitian Mingzi smiled sadly, as if she were crying. “It’s a bunch of monsters, and they don’t have weaknesses.”
