A young-looking youth was smiling at him. His face was like an angel but his eyes were like a devil."Are you human or ghost?" The middle-aged shouted fiercely. This young man was killed by him just now so how could he appear here?
"What do you think?" The young man continued smiling brightly.
The middle-aged man"s eyes instinctively went to look for the young man"s shadow. When the middle-aged man saw the young man"s shadow on the ground, he repeatedly patted his chest as if to let out the fear in his heart. But, he still couldn"t understand how this young man escaped from death, but since he was still human, there was nothing to be afraid of.
"You were lucky to escape once. Why did you follow me? You are really looking for death." The middle-aged sneered. He waved his hand and an ice arrow shot towards the young man. This young man had seen the embarra.s.sing side of himself so he needed to kill him personally to cleanse the embarra.s.sment he felt. Thus, the middle-aged man didn"t show any mercy.
"That is the ice element?" The young man didn"t retaliate. He just let the ice arrow hit his body. However, the moment the ice arrow touched his body, it broke and disappeared into the air. The young man was unharmed.
The middle-aged man was flabbergasted. He understood why this young man didn"t die. He was a domain realm master too. Only domain realm masters were able to resist his attacks. But, he still didn"t know how this young man disappeared without a trace after he was turned into ice. He didn"t sense the young man"s presence at that time too.
The young man"s next action instantly cleared his queries. The young man was an ice element domain realm master too.
"That is not how you use ice!" The young man said coldly. He stomped his feet and powerful ice energy started to spread out from his feet. The ice quickly crept up to the middle-aged man"s leg.
The middle-aged man was shocked. However, he still managed to jump into the air in time and evade the attack.
"Trying to dodge it? It is not that simple." The young man stretched his right hand and pointed at the middle-aged man. The ice energy on the ground suddenly shot up into the air, forming a huge mouth with sharp icicles as teeth, wanting to swallow the middle-aged man up.
"Ice world!" The middle-aged man shouted. A hail started to rain down around him. The frozen pellets were like a machine gun, it continuously shot at the icy huge mouth formed which was created by Ling Lan. The icy huge mouth also retaliated by blowing out wind in subzero temperatures
Boom! The two sides eventually reached their limit, before finally exploding in perfect unison. The huge explosion formed a deep crack in the manor.
"You are a t.i.tled domain realm formidable warrior." Ling Lan felt the power of her opponent"s ice element. The techniques her opponent used were very different from hers. Although they were both ice element t.i.tled domain realm formidable warrior, the temperature of her opponent"s ice element was higher than her own. Thus, her opponent"s most powerful technique, which they both knew how to use, was weaker than hers.
"Same element, same rank, different amounts of power. So the domain stage is not fixed. How much you understand depends on your capabilities and how hard you work." Ling Lan was deep in thought. This was something new. The rules in the domain stage were weird. The combination of talent, comprehension, and hard work allowed for there to be a difference in power even with the same rank and technique.
"Survival of the fittest." Ling Lan understood the true meaning behind this phrase. She knew why the Federation followed this rule, the only rule nature gave.
The middle-aged man noticed that his most powerful attack was not able to injure the young man. The young man must be a t.i.tled domain realm formidable warrior too. He might even have a deeper understanding of the ice domain. He had this thought because he felt a painful coldness deep in his bones. As an ice element domain realm master, he was not supposed to feel cold. Thus, the only explanation was that this young man was significantly more powerful than him.
As an ice element domain realm master, the middle-aged man could already feel the difference between them. If he continued fighting, he would be at more of a disadvantage. Thus, he threw another ice world technique at the young man. In the next second, he turned into ice particles and quickly escaped towards the manor.
But, the moment he moved, he was stopped. He wasn"t able to move anymore.
"Why did you change into ice particles to escape when your enemy is an ice element domain realm master who is much stronger than you? I really don"t know what to say." The cold voice rang beside the middle-aged man"s ear. Then, his body started congregating. His arm was already caught by the young man. If one particle of his body was caught, he would be unable to escape anymore. This was the rule, and no one could change this rule.
The middle-aged man lost all hopes of escaping now. Thus, he made a huge decision. He vomited blood and then his body started greedily absorbing all the ice elements in the surroundings. The huge suction force caused Ling Lan to let him go. She moved back quickly and left the boundary of the suction force.
Ling Lan frowned. She got serious. A technique that could only be used after injuring himself must be a technique above his stage. The middle-aged man was prepared to give his all in this final attack.
Suddenly, the middle-aged man exploded into numerous ice needles. The ice needles altered their trajectory towards the direction where the shocked Ling Lan was at.
Ling Lan quickly swiped her right hand and an ice wall was erected up from the ground. The ice needles split into three groups. Two groups of ice needles flew around the ice wall while the last group of ice needles stabbed into the ice wall forcefully.
Multiple ice needles pierce through the ice wall, which completely collapsed the ice wall. Those needles were so powerful and sharp. They managed to destroy her ice wall in a blink of an eye.
The two groups of ice needles managed to go behind Ling Lan. The three groups of ice needles surrounded Ling Lan and simultaneously flew towards her.
Ling Lan decisively activated her most powerful attack, Ice Blockade. She tried to freeze the ice needles, but this time she miscalculated her strength. The ice needles broke through her Ice Blockade.
The ice needles pierced into the spot where Ling Lan was standing at. The ice needles all released a thick mist when they reached their destination which blocked one"s vision. When the mist dissipated, the spot where Ling Lan was originally standing at was empty. When the ice needles noticed that they had missed their target, they flew into the air again and prepared themselves for the next round of attack.
