Chapter 760: From The Start!

Their plan was good but they were not the ones writing the script. Meng Shaoran moved quickly and stopped one of them.
“Looks like you want to become our enemy,” the domain realm master that was stopped said angrily.
“Tsk tsk. Look at how fake you are. From the moment I appeared, we all already know that we are not on the same side.” Meng Shaoran jeered.
The domain realm masters’ expression changed. Because Meng Shaoran stopped one of them, the other one had to fight Leng Hanfeng and Gu Zhengrong alone.
“I always know that I’m not so unlucky. Leng Hanfeng, looks like we have to work together again.” Gu Zhengrong touched his nose nonchalantly and gave a smile. If they could escape from a domain realm master once, they could do it again.
“You can use your special skill again?” Leng Hanfeng raised his eyebrows.
“Hmph. We talked with them for so long in order to drag the time and let the recovery agents show its effects. Don’t tell me you didn’t use it.” Gu Zhengrong raised his eyebrows too. He didn’t believe that Leng Hanfeng didn’t use the agents.
Leng Hanfeng shook his head stubbornly, showing that he didn’t want to talk to him. Gu Zhengrong smiled. As expected of a soldier, straightforward and bad-tempered. Well, he should just ignore him.
The two of them didn’t speak nicely with each other but they both prepared their stance for a fight.
When he saw two young men at the peak stage of Qi-Jin attempting to fight with him, a domain realm master, the domain realm master sneered in contempt. He decided to teach these two little brats a lesson. He would let them know what the phrase ‘anyone below the domain stage is a n.o.body’ really meant
He turned and said to his partner, “I will handle these two brats. Take care of your opponent and don’t let him interfere with my fight.”
“Don’t worry, I will not interrupt your side!” His partner shouted back.
Meng Shaoran raised his eyebrows. He felt that there was an underlying meaning behind his words. However, he didn’t have the time to think about it carefully. The domain realm master had already unleashed his domain, and it was attempting to engulf him. In response, Meng Shaoran released his domain without hesitation, creating his own domain s.p.a.ce.
The two different elemental domain clashed with each other, forming a powerful and frightening energy. Trees swayed furiously, branches were blown hundreds of meters away. Yet, the clothes on Meng Shaoran and his opponent’s body didn’t move an inch.
At that moment, Gu Zhengrong suddenly shouted and grabbed Leng Hanfeng. He then quickly ran away from the battlefield of two domain realm masters.
If they stayed too close to the fight, they could get injured by some rogue attack. Moreover. there was a domain realm master looking hungrily at them. If they wanted to have even a chance to survive, escaping now would be ideal.
If they escaped, they wouldn’t distract Meng Shaoran too. It was the best course of action.
Leng Hanfeng almost fell when he was suddenly grabbed by Gu Zhengrong. Fortunately, his foundation skills were good so he managed to stabilize himself and followed Gu Zhengrong.
The domain realm master who was looking at Gu Zhengrong and Leng Hanfeng got distracted by the fight between his partner and Meng Shaoran. This was one of the reasons why Gu Zhengrong dared to run away. When the domain realm master came back to himself, he realized that Gu Zhengrong and Leng Hanfeng were extremely shameless. They escaped when they outwardly show that they wanted to fight. He was indignant. He glanced at his partner and only chased after the two young men when his partner glanced back at him.
Gu Zhengrong and Leng Hanfeng managed to catch the domain realm master off guard and escaped when he wasn’t paying attention to them. However, domain realm masters were too strong. In about three seconds, the domain stage guard had caught up to them. They only managed to escape for a few hundred meters.
In actuality, Gu Zhengrong and Leng Hanfeng didn’t plan to escape. When they saw that they had achieved their goal, they stopped.
Gu Zhengrong calculated the distance and smiled in satisfaction. “This far is good enough. We will not affect Meng Shaoran at this distance.”
“Yes!” Leng Hanfeng agreed with a serious gaze.
“Now, our lives are up to us.” Gu Zhengrong was serious too. He had already accepted their faith in dying in the hands of the two guards. However, Meng Shaoran’s help gave them some hope of surviving.
Leng Hanfeng was not a talkative person, so he didn’t say anything else. He focused on the domain realm master who was walking towards them step by step.
Gu Zhengrong and Leng Hanfeng released their full power. The former’s force of presence was even stronger than the latter as he was a step away from the optimal peak Great Perfection of Qi-Jin. This was his true strength. He could only break through the bottleneck and enter a step into the domain stage when he uses his secret skill. However, the consequence of using the skill was huge. Unless it was absolutely necessary, Gu Zhengrong would not use it.
“Overconfident little kids, do you think that you two could fight against a domain realm master?” The domain realm master slowly walked forward as he mocked them.
“You talk too much!” Gu Zhengrong looked at him with disdain.
The domain realm master turned red with anger when he heard that. His mouth opened and closed a few times, but no words came out. He didn’t know what to say. Leng Hanfeng looked at him pitifully. When Gu Zhengrong decided to be harsh, he could hurt someone quite badly.
“You are looking for death!” The domain realm master finally lost control of his anger. He released his domain power and charged towards Leng Hanfeng and Gu Zhengrong.
A few hundred meters away, Meng Shaoran and the domain realm master were at a standstill, with one side constantly attacking and the other side constantly defending. Both sides couldn’t subdue the other person. The domain realm master was on the defending side as he could replenish his constantly hara.s.sed earth wall with ample amounts of earth element due to them fighting in a forest which favours the earth element. Additionally, being on the defensive was an earth element domain’s specialty. As Meng Shaoran’s domain element was fire, he was more adept at attacking than defending, but with the lack of fire element in the forest, his weakened fire attack couldn’t break through the empowered earth wall of the domain realm master, thus making both sides not gain any advantages.
Boom!
The entire forest shook as a loud shockwave was heard. Meng Shaoran and the domain realm master looked at the direction where the shockwave came from. It was where Leng Hanfeng and Gu Zhengrong escaped to.
“Looks like they started fighting,” Meng Shaoran muttered.
“Your companions might be dead by now.” The domain realm master gave a delighted smile. When his partner comes back, this young man would be dead.
Meng Shaoran raised his eyebrows. “Why are you so confident? I personally think that your partner might be the dead instead.” If the person he was looking for was among the two of them, the domain realm master would die instead.
“If that’s the case, let’s make a bet. Do you think the person who appears later will be from your side or from my side?” The domain realm master gave an arrogant smile.
“Bet? Is there a need for it?” Meng Shaoran smiled evilly.
“Haha, there is no need. I’ll definitely win.” The domain realm master laughed loudly.
“No, I just feel that there is no need to make a bet with a dead person.” Meng Shaoran looked at his opponent maliciously. From the start of the fight, he had never thought of letting his opponent off alive.
“b.a.s.t.a.r.d!” The domain realm master was furious. Multiple thorns formed in his domain s.p.a.ce, and they flew towards Meng Shaoran at lightning speed.
“Fire elements are mostly used for attacking but that doesn’t mean that it couldn’t be used for defending.” Meng Shaoran waved his hand and a fire wall appeared in front of him.
The thorns struck the fire wall. They were not blocked by it. Instead, the fire wall burnt the thorns made using the earth element and turned it into ashes. Even in a defensive position, the fire element showed signs of offense.
While the earth element and fire element were clas.h.i.+ng on this side, another situation was happening on the other side.
Let us look back at the moment when Leng Hanfeng and Gu Zhengrong started fighting with the other domain realm master.
“You are looking for death!” The domain realm master finally lost control of his anger. He released his domain power and charged towards Leng Hanfeng and Gu Zhengrong.
Boom! Huge forces collided with one another. The ground shook. The place where Leng Hanfeng and Gu Zhengrong were standing at was covered with dust and soil.
After some time, the dust slowly settled revealing Leng Hanfeng standing still and grabbing a hand that was reaching for his heart. In his other hand, multiple lightning spears could be seen. The tips of the lightning spears were pointing at the throat of the domain realm master who attacked him.
If he could form lightning spears, it meant that he was an experienced domain realm master who understood how a domain worked.
Leng Hanfeng, who had been beaten up all the time, was actually a domain realm master!
“When did you suspect me?” Gu Zhengrong asked curiously after his lethal attack was stopped by Leng Hanfeng.
“From the start,” Leng Hanfeng replied indifferently.
“The lightning element is the most powerful in terms of attacking. You are the person from the Flying Dragon Special Forces.” Gu Zhengrong finally understood everything. “Who is Meng Shaoran then? Is he the person doing the mission?” If Meng Shaoran didn’t reveal his domain power, he would not have decided that Leng Hanfeng was the person he was finding. This mistake caused him to fail his entire plan.
Leng Hanfeng didn’t reply to him. He just stared at him coldly.
Gu Zhengrong said with pity, “Leng Hanfeng, you are d.a.m.n careful.” It was too difficult to fish any information out from him.
“Since you never believed me, why did you save me?” Gu Zhengrong didn’t understand.
“I didn’t know who you are!” He was worried that Gu Zhengrong was on his side so Leng Hanfeng waited until he for sure knew Gu Zhengrong’s ident.i.ty.
