Chapter 297: Shengmen(2/3)
Where is the freedom actually?
Even if you pass the challenge of walking through the gate of life, you will never have true freedom.
It is true that prisoners can be released from prison through challenges, but it is nothing more than changing from a physical prison to an inner prison.
Only Li Tianlan has a real choice.
Because the warden of Beihai Prison at that time had been manipulated by the Dongcheng family several years in advance and became one of their own.
So Thor would ask Li Tianlan that question.
And others...
Even if they can really walk out of the door, it is at the end of the road when they are the weakest. They do have an indestructible will, but before they recover, it is their weakest time.
The desert prison will have a top-notch medical team to provide the most professional treatment.
Psychologically soothing the challenger's mental trauma, this can be said to be therapy, or...
It's brainwashing on a spiritual level.
Challengers who have completed treatment can indeed be released from prison, but from now on, the only faith in their hearts will be Middle-earth.
This is the most normal procedure, there is nothing right or wrong.
And Li Tianlan had a choice.
The Beihai Wang family has a monopoly. Beihai is part of Zhongzhou, but the Beihai Wang family is Zhongzhou's collaborator and gamer. Their relationship with Zhongzhou will always be delicate, but their own autonomy also means that as long as they are strong enough, then
Almost no one can curb their development and judge their future.
The Li family has been loyal to the country and has protected the country for nine consecutive generations as a war god. It is extremely glorious to defend a country. But if the position were changed, if the person involved in the treason case was Wang Tianzong instead of Li Kuangtu...
The Beihai Wang family will never sink to this level.
They will receive suppression from the parliament, but after the storm, the Beihai Wang Clan will still be the Beihai Wang Clan.
Li Tianlan did not choose to become the Beihai Wang family, but he also did not choose to become the Li family again.
So during the period after he came out of the exit door, he did not receive any treatment from the medical team. He just recovered silently by himself. He woke up from his sleep countless times and did not even dare to close his eyes or be alone in the dark. Time and again
A torture.
After experiencing the most desperate darkness, I finally saw the light.
After that, he returned to Li's camp.
His words began to become less and less, but his breath became calmer and calmer.
More than seventy hours of absolute darkness gave him the firmest will. This did not make him lose his joy, anger, sorrow, and joy, but it was enough to support his heart, so that he would still choose to move forward in the most desperate situation.
Climb instead of crawling there, quietly letting yourself become a pile of withered bones.
Even if there is no hope.
Even if it is targeted by the whole world.
Even if you can't see the ending and future.
The figure is still falling.
The sound of howling wind can be heard in my ears.
An area of thousands of meters, and a deep pit of at least hundreds of meters.
The power of a sword!
In the future, this place may become a tourist attraction in Annan, or it may become a natural lake, or it may become something else...
But no matter what, for the dark world, this place will become a veritable holy land of martial arts.
Because this represents the most extreme sword of human individual strength after breaking through the invincible realm.
And the winner of this battle will surely go down in history and become a new brand and monument in martial arts.
Li Tianlan finally laughed.
As he smiled, countless dense cracks appeared on his face.
Before the blood had time to gush out, these cracks had already healed again with the heartbeat.
Li Tianlan saw the blood mist drifting past his eyes.
"not enough."
he said softly.
"Um?"
Lin Shiyi, who was also falling, raised his eyebrows slightly.
Li Tianlan's eyes fell on the white silk thread connecting the two people.
This white thread seems to be like the absolutely dark entrance to life.
He didn't know if he could climb out, and he didn't know if he would die inside. When his will was completely broken by torture again and again, his only obsession was not to give up, and to crawl forward, whether he could succeed.
It doesn't matter anymore, but we must crawl forward until we die.
And now, facing Lin Shiyi, who completely shared his life force with him, he also didn't know whether he would win or die in this battle, but it didn't matter.
He will always be Li Tianlan.
In a difficult situation, there is always only one choice to make.
Keep climbing.
Keep hitting.
Until death!
And this thread, which seems to be more fragile than before, seems to indicate that the situation is not hopeless.
Layers of sword energy spread out at Li Tianlan's feet.
Li Tianlan's body stood on top of the sword energy and stopped falling.
His expression completely calmed down and he said softly: "You are far different from the student you were back then."
"What kind of student?"
Lin Shiyi was very cooperative, like a compliment.
"You have no idea what I've been through."
Li Tianlan said quietly: "I have seen real darkness and experienced real despair. Compared with what I have experienced..."
He pointed to the white thread between the two of them: "It's not worth mentioning."
"Indeed."
Lin Shiyi was silent for a moment and nodded in agreement. Li Tianlan was only talking about the maze, while Lin Shiyi was thinking of the beginning of the human race. Although most of the information was incomplete, in the vague records, Lin Shiyi
One can still feel the shock of it.
Li Tianlan does not remember these things. He thinks that the darkness and despair he has experienced are truly worth mentioning compared to what he has really experienced.
"Your injuries are worse than mine."
Li Tianlan said lightly: "So the so-called life sharing has a limit. All harm beyond this limit will be directly affected on you. I only bear the part that does not exceed the limit.
That sword blow just now has exceeded the limit of sharing life."
"But you can't use that sword anymore."
Lin Shiyi said softly.
The sword strike just now was not so much the fight between Li Tianlan and Lin Shiyi, but rather the collision between Lin Xuanyuan and Li Dongcheng in the same realm.
Li Tianlan would not be able to use this sword in a short period of time. Even if Qing Wu still had enough energy, Li Tianlan was not in the realm and would not have the will to concentrate to the extreme in a short period of time.
Lin Shiyi also couldn't use the sword just now. Li Dongcheng's sword energy blended perfectly with his. He also had Li Dongcheng's state of mind. But after all, he was not the sword god himself. His current state was only close to Li Dongcheng's.
Dongcheng, if you want to use that sword to touch the limits of the real environment, you also need to prepare.
When neither side can use the sword that exceeds the limit of life sharing, the two can only stalemate, keep stalemate, and stalemate until death.
"Life sharing does have its limits."
Lin Shiyi said slowly: "But the energy of Xuanyuan Feng in your Majesty's hand is also limited, and the vitality of the second heart also has a limit. There is no way out between you and me. My realm is higher than yours at this time. When Xuanyuan Feng's energy
When it is exhausted, I can kill you. When the vitality of the second heart is overdrawn to the limit, the combat effectiveness between you and me will be greatly reduced, and I can also kill you. Even if I don't kill you, as long as we share our lives
If you exist, your strength will continue to be lowered, and by then you will not even be as good as the ordinary invincible state. Li Kuangtu, Jiang Shangyu, and the Beihai Wang family will not let you go."
Because he himself has long since lost his vitality.
He can live because life is shared.
As long as life sharing still exists, Li Tianlan's vitality will continue to be shared by Lin Shiyi. This is completely equivalent to Li Tianlan using his own life to provide for a dead person of the genius level.
As time goes by, even the perpetual motion machine cannot hold the second heart.
Their strength will decline, and it will continue to decline, with no upper limit.
To be continued...
