Chapter 979 Transfer!
Li Lanfeng hugged Little White and went to his designated destination. He looked like a tourist with Little White in his arms.
His destination was an old village. It was remote and the houses in the village were dilapidated. If the interior of the houses were the same as their outer appearance, they were definitely classified as hazardous based on the Federation's building standard.
Li Lanfeng stood at the entrance of a small alley. He looked at the lively children running around with smiles on their faces. He smiled gently as if influenced by their smiles.
Many old men and women sat outside their houses and bathed in the rare sunlight. At the same time, they were watching over their grandsons too. When they saw a stranger entering their village, they looked at him vigilantly. As a local of the Chaotic Lands, this was the normal look they would give to a stranger.
If Ling Lan didn't tell him, Li Lanfeng wouldn't have suspected this place. Li Lanfeng commended his opponents in his heart. From this mission, he had learned a lesson from them. Sometimes, you don't have to hide your base and guard it heavily. You can display your base blatantly in front of anyone. Most would think that this was just a rundown village and would never expect it to be a base of human traffickers.
Even if they suspect anything, they would think that there were only a few criminals. They might enter the base alone and get caught by the traffickers.
Li Lanfeng slowly walked to the center of the village.
There were no blind spots here. No matter where he went, there were always people looking at him. These people hid so well that even Qi-Jin masters might not notice these people. Unfortunately for them, they were hiding from a domain realm master.
Li Lanfeng smiled, as it was time for the act to start. He scratched Little White's tiny body.
"Rawr!"
'What do you want me to do?' Little White rubbed its tentacles. It could finally show off its true capabilities. Rawr!
Lately, Little White was frustrated. It had to pretend to be an obedient pet in front of Little Aijun and Little Aihua. If its master didn't tell it that it couldn't harm anyone, it would have eaten those people that dared to touch its master's friends.
Li Lanfeng smiled at flicked its forehead. "Wow, you are really expressive today, aren't
you?"
"Rawr!"
'Even master had never flick my perfect forehead before. How dare you flick it? Ah! You're dead…'
"Stop." Li Lanfeng scratched Little White's round body. "You know Liu Aihua. Our aim is to find her. Of course, I don't mind if you eat their treasures along the way."
Little White's eyes lit up. 'I can eat? Well, since this bastard allowed me to eat, I will forgive you for that finger flick. I am not that narrow-minded.'
"Go!" Under Li Lanfeng's command, Little White suddenly struggled and jumped off Li Lanfeng's arms. It landed on the ground and started running towards another alley.
"Ah, Little White, don't run…" Li Lanfeng followed behind Little White with an agitated expression as he tried to catch up with Little White.
However, Little White was very fast. Li Lanfeng pretended that he couldn't catch up with it because of his weak body. After some time, Little White disappeared from Li Lanfeng's eyes.
Li Lanfeng stopped running and panted heavily. He pretended to appear worried as he looked around him cluelessly. He seemingly chose a random alley and ran inside it. When he met people, he would ask them anxiously if they saw his pet. His acting was oscar-winning
"This person should be clean," one of the people who was watching over Li Lanfeng said. Li Lanfeng had been searching through the village for half an hour and he didn't notice anything amiss with him.
"It's better to be careful. Our superior said that someone provided the wrong information so we caught someone with a powerful background. He is afraid that those people might come and look for the person," another person replied.
"Even if they came, we'll kill them." The person who spoke first sneered. "They'll just be our prey." Unless an imperial stage domain expert came, no one would be able to get out of here alive.
"That's true. Actually, we used this method to catch many good products before." The other person started smiling confidently.
Li Lanfeng couldn't find Little White after more than an hour of searching and asking around so he left the village dejectedly.
After Li Lanfeng left, the people watching over him looked away.
Li Lanfeng walked for some distance. When he noticed that the people watching him were gone, a sinister smile appeared on his face. "I wish you all good luck. Rabbit is not someone you should offend." His body started sparkling. After a while, he turned into tiny particles and dissipated into the air.
Li Lanfeng had walked around the entire village and found a few suspicious locations. He needed to visit those places now.
Half an hour later, the particles congregated and Li Lanfeng appeared. His face was stern. The results of his investigation weren't good. Inside the secret rooms under the village, he saw many young children kept in cages. However, there was no sign of Liu Aihua.
After some time, a white light flashed passed. Li Lanfeng raised his arms and Little White laid on them comfortably. He even burped in satisfaction.
"How is it?" Li Lanfeng rubbed Little White's round stomach and asked.
"Rawr!" This is so comfortable.' Little White said lazily, "I didn't find Little Aihua." It had searched all the corners of the village and made sure that Little Aihua was not here. Although it didn't find Little Aihua, Little White didn't waste its effort too. It ate many things in the place.
When it had the chance, it should find its master for a compliment. It had many things in its stomach now. Its master would definitely be able to find something likable.
"I don't know what is the situation in the other two locations." Li Lanfeng frowned. He could only hope that the other two teams had some good news.
However, the other two teams came back with bad news. They didn't find Liu Aihua too. But, Luo Lang and Xie Yi found Tao Ying. It was an unexpected finding. Just like what their boss thought, he was caught by the human traffickers.
Tao Ying told them that before they came, a batch of children had been transported to the black market for the auction tonight.
Ling Lan's gaze turned cold when she received this piece of news.
Obviously, the organization was afraid of causing trouble so they decided to move Little Aihua away quickly.
Chapter 980 Exterminate!
The peace during this period of time caused all of them to let down their guards. They felt that with their capabilities, they would be able to protect the weak people around them. They even thought that since there were many domain realm masters on their side, no one would dare to touch them. This arrogant and overconfident attitude caused them to make mistakes and give those traffickers a chance to kidnap not just one but two of them.
'I am to be blamed too!' Ling Lan took a deep breath and stopped feeling relaxed. Her gaze turned cold and deep just like how they were when she was in the military.
She couldn't deny that she had started to become more relaxed after she knew that she might have to leave the military soon. Her vigilance and sense of crisis also had decreased after she knew that fact.
'Ling Lan, this is not a safe place. Unless you become a lady that doesn't go out of your house, you'll meet all kinds of dangers. Once you let down your guard, you'll cause a calamity to yourself and your friends.' She thought to herself.
Ling Lan self-reflected. Then, she smiled. She was laughing at herself as well as feeling enlightened and the lazy aura around her disappeared.
Ye Shao and Dibi Luya felt the change in Ling Lan's aura. They were stunned. They exchanged glances with each other as they wondered why a relaxed person suddenly became so focused.
Beep beep beep! The three teams that were waiting for further orders from their boss all received a message on their communicator.
"There's a new order." Everyone quickly looked down. There was only one word. It was an astonishing word.
"Exterminate!"
This was a word that represented killing and blood. Even Liu Furong, who was an old veteran who had been on many battlefields, felt goosebumps on his head when he saw this word.
However, this was what their regiment commander would do. If someone touched his bottom line, he would mercilessly annihilate all the evil.
Everyone gasped and they looked at their targets coldly. This time, they would become the god of death and clean these evils up.
"Little White, its time for you to eat again," Li Lanfeng told Little White.
Little White clapped and waved its tentacles in the air. Then, it disappeared in front of Li Lanfeng again.
Li Lanfeng walked towards the old village slowly. An old man near the entrance of the village saw Li Lanfeng returning and became vigilant. He wanted to touch the hidden button under his seat to remind the people inside, but he realized that he couldn't move.
'What is happening?' The old man was in shock. Suddenly, he heard a clear voice beside his ears.
"Although you will still die, I don't want this massacre to be too bloody or else, Rabbit will be angry."
Li Lanfeng, who was supposed to be 50 meters away from the old man, suddenly appeared beside him. He had a smile on his face as though he was asking the old man for his favorite food.
The old man was not a powerful person but he could feel how dangerous this young man was. He was definitely not a normal person.
He thought about the young man's performance before this, and felt that he had an ulterior motive.
The old man tried to struggle free, but Li Lanfeng just snapped his fingers and a black ray of light shot towards the old man.
The black ray of light entered the old man's body and the old man started shining. In the next second, the old man exploded into small particles and disappeared without a trace.
"You're lucky. You're the first person to enjoy my technique." Li Lanfeng's smile got brighter when he saw this.
Li Lanfeng didn't need to use most of his domain energy when he wanted to format someone. Ling Lan had been asking him to practice controlling his domain energy. The results were good. Li Lanfeng was able to gain a deeper understanding of his domain technique and controlled it better. He was even able to use his technique without wasting his domain energy.
Li Lanfeng walked deeper into the village. Multiple black rays of light shone around him. No matter who touched the rays of black light, they would turn into tiny particles.
There was one to two domain realm masters stationed at every base. While Li Lanfeng walked towards the center of the village, a fat old man and a skinny old man who were at some underground bunker, hugging a naked woman each and enjoying some wine.
Just as they were about to have s*x with their woman, they felt a strong killing intent as well as a faint and unfamiliar domain energy in the vicinity.
Their expressions changed. They pushed their woman away and stood up immediately.
"There is an enemy."
Li Lanfeng's blatant killing intent had alerted them.
They exchanged glances with each other and grabbed their gowns. Then, they disappeared instantly.
Li Lanfeng detected something. He looked up at the roof on his left and said calmly, "You are finally here."
It was difficult for him to find them. It was their base after all. It was easier for them to find him than it was for him to find them. Hence, he didn't restrain his force of presence and allowed it to spread all over the village. He wanted them to discover him.
"You know that we're here but you still dare to come here. Are you not afraid of death, youngster?" The fat old man scoffed when he saw that their enemy was just a young man.
Li Lanfeng smiled and didn't say anything. Instead, he flicked his fingers continuously and two rays of black light shot towards the two old men.
The two old men waved their hands to block the rays. However, the black rays passed through their sleeves and pierced into their skin.
The two old men were stunned. They quickly used their hands as knives and sliced the part of their skin which got infected by the black light.
Two pieces of meat got sliced off their arms. The moment the piece of meat left their body, it turned into particles and disappeared.
The two old men looked at Li Lanfeng with frightened expressions. They finally felt fear in their hearts. What kind of domain was that? If they didn't react in time, they might have disappeared from this world just like their pieces of meat.
"Who are you? Why are you at the Hades Palace?" The skinny cupped his hands hurriedly. He no longer underestimated this young man so his tone was full of respect now.
That single attack was enough to prove that this young man was not someone easy to deal with. The Hades Palace was able to make a name for itself in the Chaotic Lands and did business smoothly because they never provoked powerful people. Of course, they had powerful people backing them up too.
"Who am I? You don't have to know that. As for why I'm here…" Li Lanfeng's smile got brighter. "I came to kill."
"Bastard!" The fat man was furious. They didn't want to provoke powerful people but that didn't mean that they would bear with them if they offended them.
There was only one outcome if someone wanted to become the enemy of the Hades Palace.
Death
The two stomped their feet and charged at Li Lanfeng.
Chapter 981 Action!
Around 10 kilometers away, Luo Lang and Xie Yi were on top of a hill looking down on the grand manor below them.
"It'll be a tough fight. Be careful later." Luo Lang turned to look at Xie Yi. He was very worried about Xie Yi, as his lightning domain was not very stable yet. He was afraid that he would stumble during important moments.
Xie Yi smiled brightly. "Don't worry, I won't drag you down."
He looked at the calm and quiet manor. There seemed to be no one inside but in actual fact, there were many guards hidden inside it. Furthermore, there were also two domain realm masters. If they wanted to complete the mission Boss gave them, they must take care of a domain realm master each.
"That's good. Let's go!" The moment Luo Lang finished speaking, they disappeared.
Around five kilometers away from the luxury street of the Chaotic Lands, Liu Furong and Zhao Jun squatted on the roof of an office building. They were analyzing the positions of the people below them.
"Zhao Jun, our biggest hurdle is the two domain realm masters inside the building. I'm the only domain realm masters among us. If they stop us, we're dead," Liu Furong said seriously.
Zhao Jun nodded. From the moment they received the order, he knew that they would have to face this difficulty.
They could ask for Qi Long's help but they were worried that without him, the people in the base might meet some trouble.
Zhao Jun and Liu Furong were paranoid now so much so that they didn't dare to move Qi Long away from the base.
"How about this? I'll lure one domain realm master out so that you can defeat the other one alone. Then, you can come and help me." Zhao Jun thought for a moment and came up with this plan. However, he would be putting himself at risk. If he made a mistake, he might even die.
Liu Furong said sternly, "Zhao Jun, it's too dangerous."
"If we don't do this, we won't have a chance against them unless we ask for Qi Long's help." Zhao Jun said firmly, "Everyone was able to breakthrough to the domain stage in times of crisis. I can do it too."
Zhao Jun always wanted to find an opportunity to enter the domain stage, and he felt that this might be his chance to find it.
"Zhao Jun!" Liu Furong was a little angry. He said, "Advancing in times of crisis is not as simple as you think. It's like taking a walk on the brink of death. Don't act rashly."
He managed to advance this way too but his opponent was their regiment commander. He stopped pressuring him when he was advancing. However, their enemies wouldn't do that. They would strike when you're at your weakest. This was why almost no one managed to enter the domain stage this way. No one was stupid enough to wait for their opponent to enter the domain stage before killing him.
"I know. Uncle Liu, I won't act rashly." Zhao Jun knew that Liu Furong was worried about him so he said after much thought, "But, we should still follow my plan. I'll definitely wait for you."
Liu Furong looked at Zhao Jun's resolve gaze. He knew he couldn't reject his plan anymore. He lowered his head and thought for a moment. Then, he said, "Fine. We'll follow your plan. However, we must kill all those small fries first so that you don't have to worry about them when you lure the domain realm master out."
These people were of no threat to him and Zhao Jun. However, they would be a burden if they attacked Zhao Jun when he was fighting with the domain realm master. They might even kill Zhao Jun when he was distracted with the domain realm master, and Liu Furong wouldn't allow such things to happen.
"We'll kill these people first. If the two domain realm masters appear, don't care about them unless we've killed all the other people. I'll block them and wait for you to kill all the small fries. Then, we'll carry on with the plan."
"I understand." Zhao Jun nodded.
The two of them finished their discussion. They entered the building through the safety passage. A bloody battle commenced.
"Bang!"
The sound of something slamming on the wall was heard.
A blue water dragon and a sharp knife attacked Li Lanfeng from his sides.
Li Lanfeng reacted quickly. He raised his arms and blocked the two attacks.
The collision of the three huge forces destroyed all the dilapidated houses around them.
Li Lanfeng looked as if he was using his arms to block the attack but the fat man and the skinny man could see an energy shield that was shining with a black light on his arms.
The black energy started creeping towards them through the water dragon and the knife.
The two elders remembered the frightening black light ray just now, so they immediately stopped their attack and dropped their control over their weapons.
The water dragon and the sharp knife, which had already left their hands, turned into particles.
"Damn it. We can't touch him. If not, we'll disappear," the fat man shouted angrily. 'Does this mean that we have to be on the passive side?'
On the other hand, Li Lanfeng secretly heaved a sigh of relief. The first sneak attack he made caused his opponents to be scared of him so they didn't dare to take any risk. If they had used their domain energy to battle with him, he needed to exceed their domain energy with his own to win against them. If not, he would be suppressed by them and might even receive a backlash from his domain power.
"I don't believe that his domain energy is limitless." Malicious intent appeared in the skinny man's eyes. "Everyone! Attack!"
When the houses collapsed, everyone in the surrounding got alerted. They hadn't been killed by Little White or Li Lanfeng, so they hurried over to the sound of the explosion.
When this order was given, more than 20 men flew in from different directions. They all had weapons in their hands as they pounced towards Li Lanfeng.
"Little White!" Li Lanfeng was not afraid of these small characters, but there were still two domain realm masters eyeing him. He didn't want to waste his domain energy so he called Little White.
The sun disappeared and the entire sky turned dark. A huge object suddenly dropped from the sky.
Li Lanfeng's expression changed. He turned into particles and ran away.
"Bang!"
The ground vibrated. The entire village was flattened by the huge meteor-like thing and everyone in the village was also squashed into minced meat.
Chapter 982 End The Relationship
"Cough… Little White, are you trying to kill me?" Li Lanfeng congregated his body beside Little White. While doing so, he accidentally inhaled some dust and started coughing.
"Rawr!"
'Aren't you the one who called for me?' Little White was furious.
If Li Lanfeng didn't call it, it wouldn't have change into its real form. Originally, it was a little far from the village so it even changed back to its true form for it to move to the village at the highest possible speed to help him. Yet, this ungrateful bastard complained about it.
'Hmph! Little White is angry! I want to break ties with this person!'
"Do you want to expose your master's identity? Your true form is already registered in the military's data. Hurry up and change back." Li Lanfeng patted Little White's butt agitatedly as he reminded it to change back before the dust subsided.
"Rawr!" Little White hugged its head and groaned.
'I forgot about it. Oh no! I am going to be killed by master again.' Little White started shivering in fear. A loud 'poof' was heard and it had changed back to its mini size. It quickly jumped into Li Lanfeng's arms and started trembling in fear.
'It's good to be alive. I don't want to die. Master, please forgive me!'
"It's alright. I'll help you." Li Lanfeng patted Little White's round head and smiled.
Little White looked up with its watery big eyes. It looked at Li Lanfeng pleadingly. It had forgotten about breaking ties with him now.
"However, you owe me a favor." Li Lanfeng gave a cunning smile. Poor Little White. It didn't know Li Lanfeng's true intention and thought that he was really trying to help it as It nodded fervently to Li Lanfeng's condition.
The dust in the air subsided and two human figures suddenly appeared in front of Li Lanfeng. They were the fat and skinny old men who had managed to escape Little White's attack too.
They look around and saw the ruins of their former base. Besides some lucky people who managed to survive, most were dead. They felt their heart aching in pain.
They took many years to build up this village. Now, everything was destroyed. All their efforts had all gone down the drain.
The fat man looked up with bloodshot eyes. His eyes were burning with hatred. "Bastard, I must kill you."
If they didn't kill this person, they would be strangled by Hades when they go back. Hades didn't need people who would leave problems for his organization.
They knew what their fate was if they leave, so they instantly rushed towards Li Lanfeng without any hesitation while putting aside all their fears.
If he didn't die, they would die. They had no paths of retreat so they were going all-in on this one gamble.
Li Lanfeng picked up Little White and threw it at the fat man.
The fat old man was a water element domain realm master. Water was an element that was very hard to detect, so just by the virtue of his element, it made much harder to deal with than the skinny man who was a metal element domain realm master. Hence, Li Lanfeng decisively put Little White in charge of the fat
man.
Another factor that he had considered when making this decision was the metal element causing more harm to Little White compared to water element. After all, Little White used to live underwater on Planet Juhao. Hence, Li Lanfeng made the decision that would make use of their strength the most.
"Rawr!"
'Bastard, why are you throwing me again?' Little White was angry. This was the second time he threw it without informing it.
Bang! Little White's fat body slammed into the fat man's stomach.
The fat man took two steps back because of the force behind throw. Little White bounced back onto the ground and rolled out for a few meters due to the residual force.
Little White struggled to get up and its head was spinning. It couldn't stand up properly too. This was the second time it got dizzy.
Little White shook its head and forced itself to remain focused. Then, it turned around and looked at Li Lanfeng who was fighting with the skinny man. It roared a few times at Li Lanfeng's direction. It even raised one small tentacle at Li Lanfeng as though it was pointing a middle finger at him.
The fat man disregarded Little White. He thought that Li Lanfeng threw it at him to distract him so that he could kill the skinny man. Hence, after he stabilized his body, he rushed towards Li Lanfeng with the intention to sneak behind him.
Little White hated Li Lanfeng for throwing him but it didn't want him to get hurt too. Thus, it leaped into the air and bumped into the fat man to force him back.
"Rawr!"
'Your opponent is me.' Little White raised a tentacle and curled it inwards multiple times.
The fat man saw Little White's actions. He narrowed his eyes and his expression turned serious.
He remembered how he got forced back twice. The first time, it might be due to the young man's strength but the second time, this little thing blocked him all by itself.
If he wanted to fight with his partner, he must destroy this little thing first. Killing intent appeared in the fat man's eyes and four water dragons manifested in the air above him. They flew towards Little White from all four directions.
The four water dragons blocked all paths of escape for Little White.
"Rawr!" Little White shouted before being drowned by the four water dragons. The four water dragons flew around Little White and formed a huge water ball, trapping Little White inside it.
Little White started struggling in the water ball. The fat man clenched his fist tightly so that the water ball wouldn't be broken by the little thing.
Little White's resistance gradually got weaker. Finally, it stopped moving. It seemed to have drowned in the water ball.
Three minutes later, the fat man sneered. He released his grip and the water ball dropped to the ground. Little White laid there motionless. It really seemed to be dead.
The fat man finished Little White and turned to look at the skinny man's fight. He saw Li Lanfeng and the skinny man both using their ultimate technique.
Li Lanfeng activated his format territory and the space around him started to get all distorted. There was a frightening black whirlpool in the middle, seemingly to be devouring everything within the space. Li Lanfeng had a black scythe in one hand. Along with his black cloak, he looked like the god of death.
The skinny man had a weapon in his hand too. It was a Blue Dragon Sun Moon knife. The blade and the handle of the knife were both long. It looked like it could slash anything into two. His domain was like his knife too. It was sharp knife aura that was able to penetrate anything. There were a few knife scars on the ground in front of him.
The fat man knew that this was a good time to sneak attack when he saw Li Lanfeng being occupied by the skinny man's domain. He placed a hand behind his back and a thin stream of water started to congregate in his palm. The stream of water slowly got wider and wider. Finally, it turned into a giant dragon that was able to swallow anything.
Li Lanfeng and the skinny man had reached the height of their fight. They suddenly attacked at the same time.
'This is the perfect opportunity!' The fat man's eyes lit up. Li Lanfeng wouldn't have the energy to handle another person's attack now.
The fat man raised his hand, but he suddenly felt a pain in his chest.
He looked down at his chest with a flabbergasted expression. He saw a huge tentacle coming out from his chest with blood gushing out in masses.
Chapter 983 Goddess Li?
The fat man slowly turned his head. He saw the little white ball which he thought was dead, smiling brightly and laughing at him. That tentacle belonged to it. Its tentacles were emerging from its body in a strange manner.
'What kind of savage beast is this?' The fat man was extremely puzzled. To break the defensive barrier around his body easily, it was definitely not a normal pet.
Rawr! The tentacles retracted into the round ball's body. There were no signs of its existence anymore. Little White resumed its innocent and cute image.
A huge hole the size of a bowl appeared in the fat man's chest. Blood flowed out of it. He felt that his life was flowing out of his body. He felt cold…
After ruling the underground world for more than ten years, he died in the hands of an unknown and innocent-looking creature. He felt so frustrated. His death didn't seem justified at all. The fat man sneered as he laughed at himself. The years of peace made him forget that harmless-looking things were the most dangerous. He finally paid the price for his carelessness.
"Bang!"
The old man finally took his last breath and fell on the ground. His body made a loud sound when it slammed on the ground.
This sound shocked the skinny man who was fighting with Li Lanfeng. From the corner of his eyes, he noticed that his partner was dead. He got distracted.
'This is my chance!' Li Lanfeng immediately wielded his death scythe.
The skinny man felt a frightening force rushing towards him. He was dumbstruck by the fat man's death but he had to forget about it for now. He took on Li Lanfeng's attack with all his concentration.
The skinny man decisively slashed his Blue Dragon Sun Moon knife at his opponent's scythe. The strong would always win. He couldn't hold back now. If he lost, he would disappear like a piece of meat from his body.
He didn't want to die so he must fight for his
life.
"Bang!"
The two weapons collided and the battle of the two domain energy started. Everything around them was destroyed by their energies.
Those places that got touched by the black whirlpool turned into small particles and disappeared.
Those that got slashed by the knife aura shattered into pieces and dispersed into the
air.
In front of these two powerful domain energy, Little White had no choice but to hide too. It used its tentacles to dig the soil hurriedly and buried itself underground.
After experiencing many disasters and dangerous situations on Planet Juhao, Little White's survivability was very strong. Even underground, it was able to move around freely without any difficulty.
The result of this battle was a tie.
The skinny man was elated when he realized his opponent's special domain was not invincible. As long as he was on par with him, his opponent wouldn't be able to hurt him.
Suddenly, he felt a strong sense of danger creeping up behind him.
He slashed his knife behind him instantly.
"Rawr!" A shrill sound rang beside his ears. The sound wave penetrated his skull and into his brain, causing him to feel disorientated.
Damn it! The skinny man retreated back quickly but it was too late.
His spiritual power got disturbed by the soundwave so his domain energy was affected too. While he was disoriented, the Blue Dragon Sun Moon knife got invaded with Li Lanfeng's format domain. It exploded and disappeared.
Li Lanfeng didn't stop there. His scythe flew out of his right hand. A metal chain was bound to the staff of the scythe. The scythe flew towards the skinny man who was trying to run away.
Bang!
The skinny man congregated his energy and formed another knife. He held the handle with both hands and forced himself to resist Li Lanfeng's incoming fatal attack.
The huge force behind the throw caused him to be pushed back a few meters. Deep and long skid marks were left on the ground.
The skinny man vomited a mouthful of blood. His hands started shaking and blood was leaking out of his burst blood vessel.
His stubborn resistance caused him to be on the losing end in this battle.
Li Lanfeng shook his hand. The metal chains clanged loudly and the scythe swept towards the skinny man once again. But this time, it was more powerful.
"Die!" The injured skinny man was furious and his viciousness got ignited. He shouted loudly and slashed his long knife at the scythe.
The long knife slit a deep cut in the ground.
Li Lanfeng knew that his opponent was fighting with his life now. He grunted and the black whirlpool started spinning even faster. His black cloak flew up in the wind. A ray of black light suddenly shot out from his forehead and through his mask.
The ray of black light caused his metal mask to disintegrate slowly from the top.
Li Lanfeng's perfect face was revealed to the skinny man. He was surprisingly familiar with this face.
"Goddess Li?" The skinny man was dumbfounded. The dream lover of all the men in the world was a domain realm master?
Li Lanfeng's gaze turned cold. He felt humiliated by this greeting.
Because of his rage, the ray of black light got more intense. Soon, the light flowed towards the scythe through the chain in his hand.
The scythe and the knife collided again.
"Ah!" The skinny man screamed in agony. He saw his knife disintegrating in his hand. Slowly, his body started disappearing too.
The domain energy came too quickly and fiercely. His body was engulfed by it in an instant. The skinny man didn't even finish his scream before he disappeared totally.
"Rawr!" Goddess Li, HAHA! HA!
Little White had climbed out of the ground. It covered its mouth with its tentacles and sniggered.
"Little White, do you want your master to know that you've exposed his identity?" Li Lanfeng raised his pretty eyes as he warned Little White calmly.
Little White got frightened. It hurriedly covered its mouth with more tentacles and shook its head fervently.
'Sob, why did I forget that this ladyboy knew my weakness?'
Li Lanfeng waved at Little White when it stopped laughing at him.
Little White jumped into Li Lanfeng's arms immediately. It saw Li Lanfeng's beautiful face accidentally.
'Well, it feels good to be hugged by a beauty.'
Little White laid comfortably in Li Lanfeng's arms lazily.
In the past, Little White liked to lie in Li Lanfeng's arms because Li Lanfeng would massage it. However, now, even if Li Lanfeng tortured it, it wouldn't want to leave. That beautiful face was enough to lift his mood and perk up his appetite.
It had to be said that the pet picks up after its master. Ling Lan was a fan of good looks, she just hid it well, so her pet couldn't resist beauty too.
Chapter 984 No Reason To Live!
Li Lanfeng looked at the mess Little White created and frowned.
"Rawr?"
'What's wrong?' Little White wondered. It didn't want to see a beauty frowning. If it looked at a frowning Li Lanfeng too much, its mood would be affected negatively.
"I'm thinking if those kidnapped children are squashed by you too." Li Lanfeng felt his head hurting. Rabbit wouldn't scold him if he found out but he would think that he acted recklessly. Li Lanfeng didn't want to leave a bad impression on Ling Lan.
"Rawr!"
'Don't worry, I calculated my landing speed so the rooms underground are still intact.' Little White explained itself hurriedly.
"If you're worried, I can bring them out." Little White decided to volunteer to help when it saw Li Lanfeng continued frowning.
"How are you going to bring them out?" Li Lanfeng smiled ambiguously at Little White.
Little White got enchanted by the smile. It felt a little dizzy as it replied without thinking, "I can swallow them in my stomach."
"Idiot! If you swallow them, they'll suffocate." Li Lanfeng glared at Little White as it blamed it for thinking of stupid ideas.
As expected of a beauty. No matter what he did, he was still beautiful. Even a glare seemed so mesmerizing
Little White felt his nose getting warm. Blood was going to flow out of its nostrils. It quickly stuck two tentacles in its nose. However, that was all that remained of his consciousness. The words he said revealed all his secrets.
"They won't suffocate. I can swallow the space around them too…"
Little White finally realized what it said so it quickly used its remaining tentacles to cover its mouth.
'Ah… I got distracted by his beauty!'
Little White knocked its head furiously with its tentacles. However, it was too late. It had exposed its secret.
"Oh? Little White, you have a lot of secrets." Li Lanfeng smiled and patted Little White's head.
Little White's mind worked furiously. In the end, it laid down and pretended to be dead.
'I didn't say that just now. I didn't.'
Li Lanfeng chuckled when he saw Little White pretending to be dead again. His smile was enough to make people forget everything else.
A beauty among the ruins. Lonely and isolated from the world.
The only thing that saw this beautiful scenery, was a dazed pet.
Li Lanfeng hugged Little White and left. He didn't forget to clear the corpse before leaving.
After some time, Little White remembered something. It roared anxiously. "We haven't saved those children."
"That's not our problem," Li Lanfeng replied indifferently.
"Rawr. Rawr?"
'When did Li Lanfeng wear his mask?' Little White held its head in disbelief. 'I am unable to see the beautiful face anymore? No!'
"Rawr?"
'Where did you hide your mask?'
Little White searched through Li Lanfeng's clothes furiously. 'I must find the mask. Damn it, I must destroy all the masks that will cover up the beautiful face. If I can't see the beautiful face, I'll be in a bad mood. I won't be able to eat well…
"Are you looking for the mask?" Li Lanfeng raised his eyebrows.
"Rawr." Yes. Little White nodded fervently. 'I must find the masks and destroy them so that he wouldn't be able to wear it. That way, I will always be able to look at a beauty.'
Li Lanfeng smiled gently and black light appeared on his hand. Soon, the light congregated into a mask. "I'm able to format things and also congregate particles into items I want."
Little White finally understood that the mask Li Lanfeng was wearing was not a real metal mask. It was just an illusion created using his domain. Only people who were more powerful than him was able to see through it. Little White wanted to destroy Li Lanfeng's mask but it remembered his sinister domain energy. It was powerful but it was still afraid of his format domain. It didn't want to disappear just yet.
Little White was in a dilemma. 'Should I choose my personal safety or eye candy?' In the end, it chose its personal safety. It laid on Li Lanfeng's arm lifelessly. It had no reason to live anymore.
On this side, Li Lanfeng completed Ling Lan's mission. On the other end, Luo Lang and Xie Yi just managed to enter the depth of the manor.
The two of them killed the last batch of guards. After that, they felt two powerful energy moving towards them.
Luo Lang and Xie Yi cooperated well. Each of them chose to block one energy.
Boom! Boom!
Two loud explosions were heard. The sneak attack from the two people got stopped by Luo Lang and Xie Yi.
They retreated a few steps from the force. Two sagelike old men appeared in front of them. One was in a green gown while the other was in a grey gown. Both of them had white hair. They were more than a hundred years old.
They looked at the ground filled with corpses and frowned.
The elder in green gown glared at them and coldly said, "You two youngsters are quite vicious."
Xie Yi smiled. "Not as vicious as you."
"How dare you refute when you killed so many people?" The elder in the grey gown scoffed.
"We killed people who deserve to die. Hence, we're not vicious. However, you all snatched other people's children, destroying the lives of these children as well as their families. You are the evilest people in the world. You deserve to die," Luo Lang said with a cold face.
Everyone in the family would be heartbroken when their child was kidnapped. Some parents would blame themselves for this and might even commit suicide.
"Deserve to die? Hahaha…" The two elders laughed loudly.
The elder in the green gown stopped laughing and said coldly, "How arrogant of you. Two kids are telling me who deserves to die and who doesn't."
"You can test to see if we're arrogant." Xie Yi smiled.
In the next second, he rushed in front of the talking elder and aimed his fist at the man's forehead.
The elder in green gown raised his hand to block the attack. When he touched Xie Yi's fist, he frowned and glided back, distancing himself from Xie Yi.
"What's wrong?" The man in the grey gown was puzzled.
"This brat's innate talent is lightning." The elder in green gown swung his arm which was numb from the electricity. He turned serious.
The lightning element was the strongest offensive element among all the elements. Even if he had been in the domain stage for almost 50 years, he needed to stay alert in case he made a mistake.
Chapter 985 Special Domain!
The green gowned elder's expression changed. He looked at Xie Yi with vigilance.
"Who do you want?" Xie Yi turned his head and asked Luo Lang.
"The one in grey." Luo Lang pointed at the grey gowned elder.
The two elders were burning with anger when they saw the two young men picking and choosing them like they were buying fish in a fish market. This was an utter humiliation to them.
Before they could teach these two young men a lesson, Luo Lang and Xie Yi started rushing towards them.
The green gowned elder saw Xie Yi coming towards him with a fist wrapped in a lifelike lightning dragon. The dragon opened its giant maws at him.
He had suffered from power behind the lightning attack once already so he retreated quickly. As for Luo Lang, he suddenly appeared behind the grey gowned elder with a dagger in his hand. He tried to stab the dagger at the elder's heart.
The elder in grey flicked his sleeve, blocking Luo Lang's dagger.
Luo Lang quickly rushed to the side and sidestepped in front of the grey gowned elder.
The grey gowned elder sneered. "How dare you use such cheap tricks."
This kind of movement was extremely effective against people at the Qi-Jin stage or below, but it was a joke to domain realm masters, as domain realm masters were able to detect all forms of attack through detecting killing intent. At the same time, their domains protected their bodies so such a simple assassination method wouldn't work against them.
"As long as I stopped you, it's enough." Luo Lang smiled sweetly and his beautiful face turned even more enchanting.
"Are you a man or a woman?" The grey gowned elder teased him.
This sentence angered Luo Lang and his gaze turned even colder. His mesmerizing face turned serious, and he changed from an enchanting beauty to a cold ice beauty.
"I didn't expect such beauty to exist in the world. Haha, seems like even God thinks that I shouldn't die so he sent you here to me." The grey gowned elder seemed excited. With this beauty in hand, Hades would be willing to help him to become a titled domain realm formidable warrior
People like them were already half a step into the coffin. They were willing to serve Hades because they hoped that he could help them to advance to the titled domain stage, as that would elongate their lifespan.
The grey gowned elder had already angered Luo Lang. Yet, he continued provoking Luo Lang, eventually causing Luo Lang to explode in anger.
"Activate domain!"
A calm Luo Lang walked out from behind and stood beside him. The expression on his face never changed like still water.
"What combination do you want?" The calm personality asked indifferently.
"I want to tear him to pieces." Luo Lang gritted his teeth.
"I understand." the calm personality replied.
If this was what the primary personality wanted, he would satisfy him.
"Dark personality, wild personality, come out." The calm personality turned back to the mindscape and talked to the personalities in Luo Lang's mindscape.
"Hahaha, it's finally my turn." A rough voice resounded through the room and a crazy-looking Luo Lang walked out from behind Luo Lang. The wild expression on his face caused him to look sickly beautiful.
"I didn't expect you to think of me." A sinister voice resounded through the room next and a Luo Lang with a dark expression stood behind the primary personality.
The grey gowned elder was stunned when he saw four different Luo Lang's appearing in front of him.
"What kind of domain is this? Are those his clones?" If he didn't feel the domain energy coming from those people, he would think that they were quadruplets.
The grey gowned elder turned serious when he saw Luo Lang's special domain. It looked like his prey was not easy prey. If he wasn't careful enough, he might become the prey instead.
"Although this is our first time working together, I believe that you can fulfill my desire to tear that old man apart." Luo Lang believed in his personalities.
"Of course," the wild personality replied.
The dark personality smiled slightly. Surprisingly, his cold gaze subsided a little.
The calm personality looked at the wild personality and the dark personality. As long as they interacted with the primary personality once, they would know how lucky they were to become the secondary personality of this primary personality.
"Well then, let's merge," the primary personality shouted. The four Luo Lang started merging together.
After the merging was done, the one Luo Lang slowly opened his eyes. There were no emotions in his eyes. It was calm as still water.
He spread his arms wide and two thin silver chains appeared in his palm. There was a cone-shape arrow at the end of the chains. They raised their heads like a furious snake. If the grey gowned elder moved, they would attack him instantly.
The grey gowned elder activated his domain too.
The grey gowned elder was a special domain realm master too. Luo Lang couldn't tell what his domain was, but there was a decaying smell in the air. It made everyone in the vicinity feel uncomfortable.
However, this didn't affect the calm personality. After all, he was able to become the boss of all the secondary personalities because he was able to keep his cool in the face of every situation.
The domain energies of the two people started clashing with each other. Loud popping sounds could be heard in the middle of two of them.
Almost simultaneously, both of them attacked.
Luo Lang stabbed his cone-shaped arrow at the grey gowned elder. The grey gowned elder jumped in the air and flew down, evading multiple attacks from the arrows in the process.
Suddenly, he disappeared from the air and appeared a distance away, just standing there motionlessly. The chains quickly changed its direction and flew towards him. However, just as they were about to touch him, they stopped.
While the chains were following the grey gowned elder, they got entangled. The chain didn't straighten up so Luo Lang didn't know that they were tangled.
The grey gowned elder just stood there and smiled arrogantly. He pulled his hand and a few grey lines appeared in the air. Suddenly, multiple figures appeared behind Luo Lang and started attacking the unprepared Luo Lang.
Luo Lang's chain was entangled so he couldn't retract them back. Was he going to get hurt?
In the face of crisis, Luo Lang suddenly laughed crazily.
The grey gowned elder thought that he was going to win, but when Luo Lang laughed, he felt a chill down his spine.
Those figures immediately stopped when they were an inch away from Luo Lang.
Crack! The sound of chains turning and snapping could be heard. The grey gowned elder looked at what was happening to the chain and his expression darkened.
Chapter 986 Familiar!
A silver net suddenly appeared in the dark space behind Luo Lang. The net covered Luo Lang's back. All the figures that were controlled by the grey gowned elder got trapped in the net.
"As expected, your domain is a controlling type, the irritating kind," the calm personality said indifferently. From the moment he smelled the disgusting smell, he had guessed that this was his domain.
"Why does that net looked so familiar?" Luo Lang was puzzled.
"Tsk!" Luo Lang's suddenly expression changed and he rolled his eyes.
"I see." Luo Lang then looked enlightened. His other personalities could communicate through his mindscape. They didn't need to talk however, the primary identity liked to nag.
After the personalities in Luo Lang's mindscape saw how was Ling Lan using the ice threads, they were astounded. They got interested in this attack and had great respect for Ling Lan.
It could be said that the other personalities decided to bow down to Luo Lang because he had a powerful and scary boss. Although Luo Lang's primary personality was naive and innocent and was willing to accept all of them, it wasn't the main reason that they took into account into accepting Luo Lang. Instead, the main reason was that the other personalities didn't want to be killed by Ling Lan, who was able to freeze them to death with a single look.
Hence, if you wanted someone to listen to you, it's important to be much more powerful than them so that they would look up to you and be frightened by you.
The personalities in Luo Lang's mindscape wanted to learn Ling Lan's technique so they started analyzing it. However, this technique needed to be complemented by corresponding domain energy. The domain energy of the wild personality was the only one that could complement the technique.
Thus, the silver net could only be formed by the wild personality. When Luo Lang heard about this, he silently labeled his Boss as wild.
The grey gowned elder narrowed his eyes when he noticed that the corpse he controlled were all trapped by his opponent.
He quickly placed his hands together and the corpse of the people that got killed by Xie Yi and Luo Lang jumped up and rushed towards Luo Lang.
He didn't believe that he wouldn't be able to break Luo Lang's net with his sea of corpses.
Luo Lang's gaze turned cold again when he saw the grey gowned elder using such a powerful technique. During fights, all the personalities would pass the decision making to the calm personality. They would act based on the calm personality's order.
They were all different personalities but there wouldn't be any mistakes when they were executing techniques during a battle. This was because they were still a single person despite being all different.
Suddenly, the tangled chain started spinning. Sounds of the small chains clanging into one another were heard.
In an instant, Luo Lang got covered up by his chain, forming a huge chain cocoon around.
"Are you trying to withstand my attack with this? In your dreams." The grey gowned elder laughed arrogantly when he saw the cocoon.
He moved his fingers quickly. The corpses around the vicinity started decaying and a corrosive liquid began to spurt out from the corpses.
The moment the liquid touched the chains, a hissing sound was heard from the corroding silver chains. At the same time, the chains gave off a disgusting smell.
As the chain cocoon got slowly corroded from the outside, the calm personality still remained calm inside the cocoon. If this was just a normal chain cocoon, why did he call the dark personality out? It was time for him to perform.
The calm personality moved his finger quickly and lingering shadows started snaking around his feet. The chains started spinning even faster to prevent a single side of the chain from corroding due to the liquid. Then, he said coldly, "Bloom, chain of flower!"
Numerous silver metal buds of flowers started appearing on the chain cocoon, covering the entire cocoon.
Then, the buds bloomed!
When the grey gowned elder noticed that the blooming silver flowers were made from many tiny silver needles, his expression turned from one of confidence to one of fear and nervousness.
"Shoot!" The calm personality didn't give the grey gowned elder any time to think. He quickly gave an order and the silver needles shot towards the grey gowned elder as well as the corpse he was controlling.
The sound of silver needles piercing through the air could be heard.
The grey gowned elder moved back immediately to evade the sharp needles that was powerful enough to turn his body in a sieve net. However, he was still too late. To protect himself, he had no choice but to gather all the corpse in front of him and use them as his meat shields.
Soon, these corpses basically turned to little pieces of flesh on the floor. As for the grey gowned elder, he had managed to escape the attack with the help of the corpses.
However, this also meant that his technique couldn't be used anymore, as there was no corpse for him to control left.
His domain only allowed him to control corpses that hadn't decayed yet. He couldn't do anything to these tiny pieces of flesh.
"Damn it." The grey gowned elder gritted his teeth in frustration. However, without normal corpses, he still had some things up his sleeve. He shouted angrily, "Chi, Mei, Wang, Liang, Ba, Xiao, Kui, come out!"
Luo Lang's powerful technique had forced the grey gowned elder to use his ultimate skill.
After he shouted, the ground within his domain territory started vibrating and seven corpses that were blue-grey and hideous-looking crawled out from the ground.
The calm personality frowned when he saw
those corpses.
"Is there any problem?" Luo Lang asked seriously.
"It's okay. I just didn't expect him to have such a skill," the calmly replied indifferently.
These corpses were not ordinary corpses so they couldn't be destroyed by the silver needles. The defenses of their bodies was extremely strong. Those corpses that got nourished with the domain of domain realm masters were said to be as strong as domain realm masters.
"I'm not strong enough to fight these evil things," the dark personality said coldly. His power was from the same base as his opponent. They were both using dark energy. Hence, the damage caused by his attack would naturally decrease.
"I understand." The calm personality acknowledged what he said. Then, the dark personality walked out of Luo Lang's body and disappeared.
At the same time, a figure with a vibrant aura appeared in Luo Lang's domain territory.
The seven corpses started getting agitated when the figure appeared.
His aura made them uncomfortable. It was as if he was their natural enemy.
The grey gowned elder knew that something was wrong when he saw his corpses starting to shiver in fear. He controlled the seven unwilling corpses and forced them to attack Luo Lang's body which hadn't merged with the bright figure.
The bright personality saw this and immediately stepped into Luo Lang's body. Luo Lang shouted, "Bright, I don't like you but for the sake of destroying these disgusting things, I'll cooperate with you. Let's destroy these things!"
"They shouldn't exist in the first place," Bright said calmly.
'Tsk, this is why we shouldn't have brought the bright personality out.' The wild personality thought to himself. He always sounded as though he was the only one who was worth existing.
The silver chain started shining brightly. That holy aura it gave out caused the seven corpses to feel extreme pain from the core of their bodies. The holy aura caused great damage to dark energy characters like them.
Of course, at the same time, the dark energy was equally lethal to the bright energy.
Chapter 987 Xie'Er!
The grey gowned elder was clear about this so he forced more energy out of his grey domain. Soon, the entire space was filled with a rotting smell. The dark energy even started corroding Luo Lang's holy aura too.
Luo Lang had no expressions on his face, as he was taken over by the calm personality again.
"Howl!" The seven corpses howled in the air. Then, they jumped up and pounced at the chain cocoon.
They opened their dry, thin and sickly-looking hands. Their black nails grew longer, turning into sharp claws. There was also a black cloud with the aura of death around them. They began slashing the shining silver cocoon in front of them.
"Clang! Clang! Clang!"
The silver chain started breaking under the sharp black claws like pieces of tofu.
The grey gowned elder smiled proudly at the power exhibited by his seven corpses. He lifted his right hand and pointed at bare Luo Lang who was in the center of the cocoon. Then, the seven corpses charged at Luo Lang with fervour.
Just as Luo Lang was about to be clawed into a pile of meat, Luo Lang suddenly smiled brightly.
The broken chains suddenly turned alive again. They bounced up from the air and twirled themselves around the corpses.
The seven corpses tried struggling but the white aura on the chain caused the suppression power of the chain to be stronger and more powerful. The seven corpses started giving off a smelly and black smoke. This was because they were getting scalded by the white aura.
Luo Lang stood in the middle and curled his fingers slightly. The chains around the corpses became tighter even , causing even more damage to the corpses.
The grey gowned elder turned serious. He didn't expect his opponent to feint weakness in order to lure his corpses into the chain array.
"This is Boss's strongest technique. As his comrade, I can't be too weak." Luo Lang smiled brightly. However, in the next second, his smile disappeared.
"Go and die!"
His voice was calm, wild, and indifferent.
The white aura exploded, blinding everyone's eyes with a flash of white light
The grey gowned elder suddenly felt a sense of danger. He quickly elevated his domain to its maximum. After that, he waved his arms and attempted to control the corpses to kill his opponent forcefully.
"Howl!" The seven corpses shouted fiercely and broke free from the chains around their bodies.
However, there was an innumerable amount of chains around them. When one chain broke, another chain would take over its position.
All these happened during the time when everyone was blinded by the white light. As the white light disappeared gradually, he saw what was happening in the chain array. He was delighted and felt that the danger was over.
Suddenly, he felt his chest was in pain. The grey gowned elder looked down in surprise. A piece of the chain had come near him when he was looking at the chain array and stabbed him in his heart.
He suddenly understood that the white light was not to suppress his corpses. It was to hide this piece of chain.
The chain was small and came too suddenly so he didn't notice it in time, as all his attention was focused on the seven corpses.
Boom! The silver chain exploded and blood stained the face of the grey gowned elder.
The grey gowned elder said in pain, "Despicable! Do you have no shame…"
Luo Lang just glanced at him coldly. Then, numerous chains quickly stabbed into the elder's body, turning him into dust.
The seven corpses just turned into seven piles of black sludge without the support of the domain energy from the grey gowned elder.
After he killed the grey gowned elder, Luo Lang's domain collapsed. The wild, calm, and bright personalities returned into his mindscape.
Luo Lang kneeled on the floor with a pale face. He smiled bitterly. "Merging three personalities is still too much for me. I can only last for a short period of time."
Luckily, the calm personality changed how he was attacking at the very last moment. The other personalities smoothly cooperated with him and that was how they managed to kill their opponent before Luo Lang's domain collapsed.
The seven corpses were just too powerful. With Luo Lang's current ability, he wouldn't be able to destroy them. Hence, he had to attack the source of their power.
"No wonder Boss always says that we're too weak. Domain is really just the start." Luo Lang finally understood that they had just stepped on the path of becoming a formidable warrior. Their opponents would only get stronger from this point onwards.
After Luo Lang killed the grey gowned elder, Xie Yi, who was engulfed by a world of green, was wrapped up in a crucial moment too.
The green gowned elder was a wood element domain realm master, a natural counter to a lightning element domain realm master. Thus, the power of Xie Yi's lightning element would naturally be weakened in front of a wood element domain realm master.
The two elders were both very experienced in battles. Hence, the grey gowned elder chose Xie Yi as his opponent to his advantage.
It looked as though Xie Yi and Luo Lang chose their opponent but instead, the elders were the ones who lured them into making this decision.
The green gowned elder appeared to have gained the upper hand now but in actual fact, he was having a hard time.
This was because when Xie Yi noticed that his lightning was unable to hurt his opponent greatly, he decisively split his lightning into two.
Xie Yi's lightning element was different from other lightning element domain realm masters. He had two different lightning element, one Yin and one Yang. If the Yang lightning didn't have the Yin lightning to neutralize it, it was more explosive and faster than normal lightning, making it really difficult to control, as the Yang lightning might be backfire and hurt the user instead. As for the Yin lightning, it's damage was caused to one's spiritual mind, not the body.
The green gowned elder could block Yang lightning but he couldn't do anything to the Yin lightning
The green gowned elder's plan was to use his domain to exhaust Xie Yi's domain energy. He felt that a young man who had just entered the domain realm must have a lesser amount of domain energy than him.
However, after experiencing the damage the lightning caused to his spiritual power, the elder in green gown decided that he couldn't stall out the battle any longer. If not, he would lose this battle.
Thus, green seedlings started popping out of the ground around them. Soon, the seedlings turned into huge trees and engulfed them within.
When he saw his opponent attempting to use his ultimate technique, Xie Yi was elated. He was bothered by the Yin lightning too.
The Yin lightning was able to hurt his opponent but he would receive a backlash too. After all, he wasn't the one controlling the Yin lightning
"Xie Two, it's time for the life-or-death battle. Gather your strength." Xie Yi shouted in his mindscape.
"It's Xie'Er, not Xie Two." A cold voice sounded in his mindscape. "Xie One, take care of yourself first and don't drag me down."
Chapter 988 The Door of Hope!
"Haha, then let's see who's stronger." Xie Yi pretended to not hear Xie'Er's deliberate name calling and laughed out loud.
Immediately afterwards, lightning began to snake around Xie Yi's body. Beneath the snakes of purple lightning, a shadow appeared. It was Xie'Er.
Xie'Er looked at Xie Yi with a complicated look on his face. Xie Yi saw his expression and smirked as he nodded towards Xie'Er. Then, he reached out his right hand.
Xie'Er looked at that hand and sighed. He reached out with his left hand and held Xie Yi's hand.
Xie Yi's smile was even bigger now. He turned around to look towards the green gowned elder and said softly, "I'm still just a bit weaker right now. In the future…" 'In the future, I will become even stronger so that you can actually appear in front of my comrades.'
After seemingly understanding Xie Yi's unfinished statement, Xie'Er also held Xie Yi's hand firmly.
'I hope you won't let me down! That lonely and cold world isn't a really good place to live.'
Xie'Er thought of Xie Yi's extremely capable Boss. With him around them, he believed that Xie Yi would not become a weakling who couldn't withstand his powers. Xie Yi didn't know that what gave Xie'Er's confidence to believe in him was not him, but actually Ling Lan, who had appeared only for a short moment in Xie'Er's world.
As Xie Yi and Xie'Er walked hand in hand, the snakes of glowing purple lightning around their bodies became even darker, and eventually into a pitch black color. But when put under a light, there was still a shade of purple, proving that the lightning was dark purple.
As the purple lightning became darker and darker, there was dangerous and suffocating aura slowly exuding out from within. The green gowned elder had already raised the power level of his domain to its strongest. Seeing Xie Yi's domain energy getting stronger, he decisively made a move.
The jade like sea all around him went straight towards Xie Yi.
Seeing this, Xie Yi and Xie'Er raised their interlocked hands and two lightning dragons shoot from their hands.
The dragon that appeared from Xie Yi's left hand was vibrant in color with some red shade in the purple. The radiance of the color was seemingly enough to reach into a person's soul. It also made the jade colored sea around them lose its color. The aura the lightning was exuding out was the same as Xie Yi's personality, free and enthusiastic, and could easily affect the atmosphere around him.
Xie'Er's dragon from his right hand, on the other hand, was fully black. Within the black dragon, there was an inked lightning with tar-like density, calmly moving along with the movement of the dragon. It was just like him, a presence that was calm enough to enclose the universe into it.
Their interlocked hands were suddenly clenched firmly. Then, the two different colored lightning dragons were pushed outwards from their hands at the same time.
The two lightning dragons ruthlessly flew towards the jade sea.
Once the radiantly colored dragon touched the jade sea, the jade sea was instantly set ablaze. Although fire was destructive, there was also the power of life infused in it. The black dragon on the other hand turned the jade sea on its side into a gray wasteland. That was the power of death.
These two different dragon forms stunned the green gowned elder. But, he quickly slapped himself awake and countless thick branches suddenly appeared from the ground to attack Xie Yi's main body.
However, the branches that were once filled with life, quickly withered away and had its life force drained the instant it got close to Xie Yi.
Compared to Xie Yi's lightning power, Xie'Er's lightning was more suitable for defense.
At that moment, the two dragons finally combined together in mid-air. One began to take in the power of life and the other was replenish its destructive power. As the lightning continuously crackled and burst apart, it became stronger and stronger, before finally congregating into a gigantic lightning dragon. As the green gowned elder was looking at it with despair on his face, the dragon instantly devoured him.
Seeing that his opponent was defeated, Xie Yi, who was enduring immense pain until now, instantly sat onto the ground. He opened his mouth and coughed out burning black smoke.
"You're still too weak. If you don't make body stronger, you won't be able to endure my destructive powers the next time I come out," Xie'Er said coldly. Although Xie Yi controlled his power of life well, he was still weaker compared to Xie'Er's knowledge of his own destructive power.
Xie Yi laughed out loud. Right as he was about to answer, his wounds opened up, causing him to grit his teeth in pain.
Seeing this, Xie'Er coldly said, "You should rest up so you don't have to trouble your buddy." He looked towards Luo Lang, whose condition was also not so good. "But… it seems your buddy needs your help more."
Hearing that Luo Lang's condition was not good, Xie Yi instantly jumped up in response. This made him seem that was not injured at all.
Xie'Er shook his head as he saw this scene. When Xie Yi heard that his comrade was injured, he could completely disregard his own injuries… Compared to Xie Yi, he wouldn't care about comrades first. Instead, he would be selfish and care for himself first.
This was perhaps why their father chose Xie Yi and didn't choose him! Xie'Er felt his body slowly become transparent and returning to the cold world that he belonged in.
"Luo Lang, are you alright?" Xie Yi had already ran towards Luo Lang and asked him hurriedly.
Luo Lang's face was pale. In order to defeat his opponent, he completely depleted his domain energy, so he was now unable to move from the exhaustion.
Xie Yi quickly helped Luo Lang to drink a strong recovery agent that Li Shiyu had made. At the same time, he didn't forget to drink one himself.
Not long after, Luo Lang's complexion began to look better. Luo Lang didn't think that depleting his domain energy would result in such a strong side effect, he did not even have the energy to take out a medicinal agent.
If Xie Yi had somehow lost, the two of them would have actually died here. After thinking about this, Luo Lang couldn't help but be terrified at the thought. The thought of becoming stronger was even more engraved in his mind.
After seeing that Luo Lang was alright, Xie Yi stopped worrying and continued to investigate this building. He discovered that other than the children locked up in cages, the others were either dead or ran away when the two of them were fighting the elders.
"What should we do about those children?" Xie Yi pointed towards the children in cages who were unconscious.
Luo Lang frowned and twirled his hair with his finger. In the next second, Luo Lang's eyes calmed down and said, "We're not saviors. Our Boss's orders were to infiltrate and destroy, not save. Whether they can successfully get out of this building, would depend on their luck."
Xie Yi knew this was Luo Lang's extremely calm personality talking. He also knew that his judgment was rarely wrong so he nodded in agreement without much hesitation.
However, the calm personality still had a sliver of humanity left in his body so he told Xie Yi to open the cages, cut the shackles around their limbs to give them a sliver of hope.
After finishing this, Xie Yi carried Luo Lang, who had not fully recovered, on his back and left the building.
Not long after they had left, one youngster from the cages woke up from his dreamworld. He saw his cage was opened and the shackles around his arms and legs were broken. He then saw that the entire area was in ruins, with countless puddles of blood and silence all around him. The youngster immediately realized that this horrifying place was completely destroyed by two masked individuals who had suddenly appeared. The opened cages and broken shackles was the opportunity the two strong individuals had given them to escape this hell hole.
The youngster understood that with so many people, the two strong individuals could not save everyone. Plus, they also didn't have any reason to save them. However, just the thought of giving them a chance to escape, was enough to let this youngster be grateful eternally. He knew that this act was essentially the same as giving them all a new start on life.
Chapter 989 Not Willing to Give In!
The youngster crawled out of the cage. As he walked a few steps forward, he suddenly bit his lip and walked back into the cage. Then, he began to go and wake the other innocent children who hadn't woken up yet.
Soon after, all these children woke up and along with a few adults. They slowly crawled out and escaped from the destroyed building. They were lucky that their minds weren't successfully wiped by the elders. They still knew where they were from. Even though some had their minds wiped and forget everything, their cellmates still told them what had happened to them and where they came from.
Although these individuals had escaped the clutches of these villains, they still needed to go through many more dangerous and difficult situations if they wanted to go back home. However, this was their own story and was not related to the story of Ling Lan and the others. It was just that only after decades, these people would think about the two masked domain realm masters who saved them and guess who they were.
At the three locations, Li Lanfeng and Little White had it the easiest. Although Xie Yi and Luo Lang was in somewhat of a difficult situation, they still resolved perfectly in the end. It was only Liu Furong and Zhao Jun who were stuck in a life-or-death crisis.
Zhao Jun ran around the hidden corridor as his life was on the line. His face was pale, with sweat dripping down from his body like raindrops.
If it wasn't for the fact that there were many hidden corridors, along with the fact that the enemy domain realm master was afraid of going all-out and create too much noise, and accidentally causing the base to be exposed by the people above them. If that wasn't the case, he would probably have been killed by the domain realm master who was chasing him.
This was the power of domain realm masters. Although he was close to the limit of becoming a domain realm master, it was still the same as a three-old-year fighting an adult when fighting a real domain realm master. He was completely unable to defend himself.
Zhao Jun didn't know how long he could hold on. He only knew that if he wanted to live, he must run away with all his might, until Liu Furong arrives.
Zhao Jun felt there was a terrifying power creeping behind him. He didn't even think and somersaulted into corridor on his right.
"Bam!" A terrifying power instantly hit the place he was running towards. If it wasn't for the fact that he was lucky that a tunnel had appeared beside him. He definitely would have been severely injured from this attack.
Although Zhao Jun luckily got away from the attack, he still felt his back was slashed by something, causing him immense and unbearable pain. However, Zhao Jun didn't have the time to examine his own back. He just ignored the immense pain and ran through the corridor hurriedly. It was because Zhao Jun knew that the domain realm master would not stop chasing him.
Another terrifying attack came towards him. This time however, Zhao Jun was not as lucky, as there weren't any other corridors to turn into. Seeing this, Zhao Jun bit his lip and pounced forward.
Without any tunnels to turn towards, Zhao Jun was still sent flying by the shockwave even though he dodged away from the center of the attack. He then rolled on the ground a few meters away from the attack.
"Ugh!" Zhao Jun spat out a mouthful of blood. The attack of the domain realm master still severely injured him even though he suppressed much of it with his Qi-Jin at Great Perfection.
A silhouette appeared in the corridor. It was the silhouette of a 40 to 50 year middle-aged man. It was the domain realm master who kidnapped Liu Aihua and injured Han Xuya.
"Heh, heh, heh…" The man laughed softly. "You're really good at running, but where can you run to now?"
Zhao Jun tried his best to bear the immense pain from his back and bit his lip as he stood up. He quickly thought in his mind to see how could get away with his life from the clutches of his opponent.
After seeing that his prey was thinking of running away, the domain realm master threw out his fist and a formless attack went straight towards Zhao Jun.
Zhao Jun could only raise his hand to block, but he was once again sent flying away by the force behind the fist.
"Bam!' Zhao Jun smashed onto the ground face first. The blood from his mouth was gushing out uncontrollably. In the end, Zhao Jun had become severely injured and lost his ability to move.
"You're this weak, and you dare to cause trouble in our territory? You really don't know your place." As the domain realm master smiled coldly, he slowly walked to the motionless Zhao Jun.
He bent down and held Zhao Jun neck with his right hand. He then lifted him up by the neck.
Zhao Jun's face instantly turned blood red. His opponent's fingers were ruthlessly strangling him, causing him to be unable to breathe which instantly made his face go red.
As time went by, Zhao Jun felt he was close to death for the first time.
"Am I actually going to die here?' Zhao Jun's mind could only think of this.
Even if he was going to die like this, he still wasn't willing to give in. He still wanted to follow his Boss through the stars and create more miracles.
Compared to Qi Long, Luo Lang and Han Jijyun who were of military backgrounds, along with Li Lanfeng, Li Shiyu and Xie Yi who were from elite families, Zhao Jun's background was the most humble from Lingtian Battle Clan. He was from a common family and did not have any strong connections. It should be said that if Ling Lan had actually left the military, he was probably the only person from Lingtian Battle Clan who could follow Ling Lan without causing any trouble.
Zhao Jun clearly knew about Ling Lan's situation, that his chances of remaining in the military was not high. Just a Ling Xiao was already enough for the entire Federation. If there was also a Ling Lan, it would only bring about bad tidings for the Ling family.
Zhao Jun had already made his decision to follow his Boss despite the fact that he was still going to have a good future in the military if he stayed there. Neither his comrades, seniors nor General Ling Xiao would treat him differently than Ling Lan's team members who followed her from the beginning even if Ling Lan left.
However, the factions within the military was set in stone. This made Zhao Jun feel discouraged. Even a general's son couldn't escape from becoming pressured by others. How could a commoner like him even hold up? Instead, he should just follow Boss Lan and travel through the stars to create their own legends. He would be much happier and free compared to staying in the military and plot against one another.
"I'm not willing to give in… not willing!" Zhao Jun screamed out in his mind. The future was what Zhao Jun wanted!
Zhao Jun began to fight for his life. He wanted to continue living. However, with his current strength, he had no chance against a domain realm master.
As his neck continued to be strangled for a longer amount of time, Zhao Jun's struggle became more and more intense. The domain realm master looked coldly towards Zhao Jun who was fruitlessly struggling for his life. He loved seeing his prey struggle before their death, as this would excite him and give him a feeling of accomplishment.
As the oxygen in his body was slowly deprived out from his body, Zhao Jun's eyes opened wider and wider. The unwillingness to give in and anger in his eyes made the domain realm master, who was used to seeing people die, uncontrollably shudder in terror.
Right as Zhao Jun was about die from suffocation, a strong force of presence exploded from within his body.
The domain realm master instantly understood why he was scared just a few moments ago. He didn't think that the rumor of breaking through the barrier during a crisis would actually happen right in front of his eyes.
"Don't even think about it!" The domain realm master roared. He was not going to allow his prey to reserve the tide on him and prey on him instead.
He exerted more force in his right hand. He was rushing to break Zhao Jun's neck and kill this young man, who was about to advance into the domain stage, right here and now.
Suddenly, he discovered that his right hand actually couldn't move at all.
It turns out, unbeknownst to him, his right wrist was being held tight by a large and strong hand.
Chapter 990 Wrong Person!
Inside the temporarily rented room, Qi Long felt his wrist vibrate. He lowered his head and had a complicated expression on his face.
"What's wrong?" Han Jijyun saw this and asked him curiously.
"Boss gave me an order," replied Qi Long.
Han Jijyun instantly sat up straight and asked nervously, "What's the order?"
"Kill people!" Qi Long's expression instantly turned cold. The Boss's order really align with what he wanted to do.
"Jijyun, I'll leave this place to you." Qi Long stood up and put on the black jacket that on the sofa. He turned around and said in a serious tone, "Before I return, you have to protect everyone here."
"I know. Although my physical skills isn't as strong as yours, it's still not that weak. Just leave this place to me."
Han Jijyun knew that if Qi Long needed to move out, the opponent was definitely domain stage individuals. He felt a bit of regret, as domain battles were something he wasn't even qualified to participate in.
Seeing Qi Long's silhouette disappear in front of him, Han Jijyun clenched his fists tightly. If he was to continue to stay at his current stage, one of these days he would not be able to follow them in their mission and be left behind by them.
"Looks like I need to do more training," Han Jijyun said to himself.
"I disagree." Li Shiyu's voice rang from behind him. "Your body has already exceeded its limit by a lot. Even if I use the best recovery agent, I still won't be able to repair the parts of your body that had exceeded its limit. You're still young so you are feeling it. However, if this continues and reaches the threshold, the foundation of your body will be completely destroyed."
"I know, but with the amount of training you're giving me, I can't get close to their level at all." Han Jijyun angrily punched the wall beside him. This was also the reason why he was secretly increasing the amount of training. He couldn't wait any longer. He didn't want to be someone who was protected by others every time something happens and watch his comrades risking their lives for him.
"All of us have our own place. Han Jijyun, if you can't find your place, even if your physical skills were to advance to the domain stage, you would still be a person that will not be needed," Li Shiyu said coldly.
"Then tell me, what is my place?" Han Jijyun shouted. "Strategist? Isn't Li Lanfeng performing better than me? He also constantly reminds me that I'm not as good as him… Not only that, his physical skills and mecha piloting skills are also better than me."
"Li Lanfeng…" Li Shiyu sighed softly. He could only say that Han Jijyun comparing himself with Li Lanfeng was comparing with the wrong person.
As someone who was destined to not live long, unable to operate a mecha and unable to learn physical skills, he had clearly cheated somehow to reach his level today and did not go through everything logically.
"Have you never realized that Li Lanfeng's goal was never to become the battle team's strategist?" In the past few days when he watched his elder cousin brother, Li Shiyu finally understood him.
Li Shiyu's words dumbfounded Han Jijyun as he raised his head with a blank expression. If Li Lanfeng's goal wasn't to become a strategist, then why did he mock him in all aspects?
"Think about it, when he was mocking you, who was there?" Li Shiyu could only say this much. Whether Han Jijyun could get out of this mindset would depend on Han Jijyun himself.
It had to be said that intelligent individuals were people who would willingly go down in a rabbit hole. Han Jijyun was like this. Even Li Shiyu's demon-like elder cousin brother would do dumb things sometimes and make Li Shiyu go speechless.
Li Shiyu's words made Han Jijyun go into deep thought. 'What does Li Lanfeng want if he doesn't want the position of strategist in the team?'
Moving away from Han Jijyun's concerns, the person who came to save Zhao Jun was Qi Long who had received Ling Lan's order earlier.
Ling Lan, of course, wouldn't let her team members be in danger. She had prepared beforehand for Qi Long to reinforce Liu Furong's group.
The domain realm master saw that a black jacket young man had already stood in front of him and was staring him down coldly.
Suddenly, the domain realm master's right wrist writhed in pain. His fingers uncontrollably let go and Zhao Jun, who was being choked by him, fell to the ground thereafter.
The domain realm master took a deep breath and the domain power from his body instantly exploded out.
Qi Long jumped back a few meters. At the same time, he also took Zhao Jun, whose force of presence had completely expanded.
The domain realm master held in the surprise in his mind and coldly asked, "Who are you?"
"I've been looking for you for a long time," Qi Long said calmly. He was thankful to his Boss to let him participate in this mission. In the end, he met up with the domain realm master who injured Han Xuya.
The familiar domain energy on Qi Long's body made the domain realm master instantly remember something. His expression changed slightly, but he still tried to stay calm and show that he knew nothing, "You people intruded on our territory and tried to mess with our organization. Tell me, who sent you?"
He realized that the little girl was trouble, but didn't think the opposition would knock on their door so quickly. The domain realm master felt bitter and depressed. He now hoped that this situation wouldn't affect the impression he had with Hades. Otherwise, his hard work in the past decade would all be for naught.
Qi Long laughed coldly as the killing intent in his eyes showed clearly, "Don't play dumb with me. Since you dare to kidnap our people and injure them, then you must pay the price."
'As expected, they already knew we were the ones who did that!
The domain realm master's eyes instantly froze. Although Hades Palace was afraid of causing trouble, they still weren't afraid of dealing with trouble. The Chaotic Lands was always the territory of Hades Palace. If these people didn't know any better, then they would not be able to leave this place.
The domain realm master increased his domain energy to the highest degree. Qi Long was also doing this as well. The two of them didn't want to fight a long battle of endurance and was planning on defeating each other with one attack.
As night fell, the products in the three districts were all more or less sold. It finally reached the time for the black market auction that everyone was excited about.
Ling Lan, Ye Shao and Dibi Luya followed President Tu into the auction house.
The auction house venue was huge. After entering it, there were countless seats everywhere. Surprisingly, there weren't any private areas for VIPs. Everyone was sitting in the atrium with their auction sign to participate in this auction process.
Of course, this type of arrangement would also completely expose the identity of the people attending the auction. This was a specialty of the Chaotic Lands. If you have money, you can buy anything. However, whether they could actually receive the auctioned item, would depend if they had the capabilities to take it home.
Many secret factions enter the auction house not to buy anything, but to know who bought what. They would choose the people they would make a move on. Thus, the trip home was a bloodbath. It was the time where the buyers would tested on their abilities.
The auction began systematically. At the beginning, the items that were being auctioned off were some precious and little antiques. There weren't many people who were interested in these items so the auctions went by quickly, and it quickly reached the midpoint of the auction.
The midpoint of the auction was auctioning a few children who had potential, along with domain realm masters who had their minds wiped successfully. Here, the domain stage individuals could also be considered an item for sale.
When these auction items started appearing on the stage, the atmosphere of the entire auction house began to heat up.
Ling Lan saw Little Aihua, who had eyes of fear, on the stage. Ling Lan then instantly narrowed her eyes in rage.
