1304 Courtesy Demands Reciprocity.
“It looks like we have to be careful. We can’t go back to Lingtian now and we can’t use our domain concept too. If not, we might be discovered.” Li Lanfeng already sensed their dire situation.
He didn’t know how Lingtian would explain their presence but he believed that Han Jijyun wouldn’t be so stupid to admit it directly. If he stated that they were attacked by an unknown faction, they could still return as victims and condemned the security of Planet General. He could be more straightforward by pretending to start a fight and demanding an explanation from the security department of Planet General. That was the best solution.
Li Lanfeng didn’t know if Han Jijyun was able to break free from his conservative thoughts and make such a shameless move. If he was the one making the decision, he would definitely choose the second option and make a huge scene out of it. He would recruit up some fake parents for the victims and ask them to condemn the military headquarters.
“I’m just curious why Lieutenant General Ling had to hide his ident.i.ty. Everyone is waiting for him to return.” The man of the couple was puzzled. From his viewpoint, the child of a hero wouldn’t be punished unless he committed a huge crime like betraying the country. Lieutenant General Ling ignored the military command many times during the war between Twilight and the Federation. He acted alone and got surrounded by his enemies so General Ling Xiao went to save him and died in the process. But, all these are not serious crimes. If he came back and apologised to everyone, they would all forgive him even if they had some grievances in the end. Lieutenant General Ling is still young so it’s normal that he acts rashly.
Li Lanfeng smiled but didn’t reply. At times like this, keeping silent was the best decision. The other party was now in control of the conversation. He mustn’t give them any chances to obtain any more information.
“Escaping is not a good solution. A soldier should be brave enough to bear the consequences of his actions.” The man appeared unhappy when Li Lanfeng didn’t reply to him. As expected, birds of a feather flock together. Lingtian was filled with people who shrink in the face of danger.
However, no matter what he said to infuriate him, Li Lanfeng just continued smiling at him silently.
“There’s no use talking to you nicely. It seems like we have to invite you by force.” The man finally got impatient, especially after looking at Li Lanfeng’s fake smile.
A huge flame appeared on his palm. The hot air quickly spread in the air and rushed towards Li Lanfeng.
Li Lanfeng looked up and a black whirlpool appeared in front of him. The hot air was absorbed into the black whirlpool. It couldn’t pa.s.s through this black barrier.
“Hmph!” The man snorted. He pushed his right hand towards Li Lanfeng furiously. The flame left his hand and turned into a fire dragon. It opened its mouth ferociously and charged at Li Lanfeng.
The fire dragon wanted to pa.s.s through the black whirlpool but when it flew high above the black whirlpool, the fire dragon started to get sucked into the whirlpool uncontrollably. After a few seconds, it fell directly into the black whirlpool.
The man’s expression changed slightly. He was always in control of his fire dragon but in that instant, he suddenly lost control of it. He felt as though the connection between his fire dragon and him was cut off.
Even though his first attack failed, he was unwilling to give up. He moved his hands and multiple fire dragons appeared. They danced furiously in the air and rushed towards Li Lanfeng in a deadly swarm.
Li Lanfeng raised his head and looked at the group of fire dragons raining down on him and frowned. In response, he spread his hands out slightly. The black whirlpool that was around his height suddenly erupted and covered half of his domain territory. His body was also covered up by the black whirlpool.
The multiple fire dragons seemed to have lost their direction. They uncontrollably flew towards the middle of the whirlpool and got swallowed by it.
Li Lanfeng’s body started getting distorted too. This weird scene made the man following him feel uncomfortable. He felt like vomiting.
“Courtesy demands reciprocity.” Li Lanfeng lifted his right hand which seemed to have been lengthened from the distortion and a deformed scythe appeared from thin air. The black scythe, which represented death, floated in mid-air. The sound of metal chains sc.r.a.ping against each other was heard, inciting fear in the heart of the man.
They were both domain realm masters but his opponent’s domain concept was extremely weird. He even felt that if that scythe just slightly touched him, he would die.
The man could feel death approaching him so he decisively broke the signal device in his hands.
Li Lanfeng sensed his actions and threw his scythe out while the metal chains on the scythe suddenly shot in three different directions.
Bam! Bam! Bam!
After the three earth-shattering impacts, three different people appeared in his domain.
One had a broadsword in his hand, one had wind spheres all around him, and the last one was holding a silver-grey giant hammer. They were named after their unique specialities, namely Broadsword, Wind, and Hammer. The man who fought with Li Lanfeng earlier was codenamed Fire.
“Luckily, you came in time. I almost failed.” Fire heaved a sigh of relief when he saw his three comrades.
“We were watching the situation from the outside. What happened? Is he hard to deal with? Broadsword asked as he glanced at the sinister-looking Li Lanfeng.
“His domain is special. I’ve never seen anything like his domain before.” Fire furrowed his brows. He hated fighting with special domain realm masters. There was no information about special domains so he had to take things as they came along. Moreover, improvising in battle was not his strong suit.
“Interesting. Let’s slowly attack him together.” Hammer knocked his hammer on his hand and laughed. No matter how powerful Li Lanfeng’s domain was, once the energy of his domain was depleted, he would be powerless against them. It was four against one. No matter how he looked at it, they would win.
“If you come here, is everything outside going to be okay?” Fire asked worriedly.
“No problem. Our leader is keeping watch outside. If something happens, he’ll inform us. We can quickly take care of him and wait for Ling Lan to come back.” In their eyes, Li Lanfeng and Luo Lang had no chance of escaping. Thus, they started bragging shamelessly in front of Li Lanfeng.
Li Lanfeng sneered. He didn’t have the confidence to refute the first sentence but they wouldn’t stand a chance against Ling Lan.
Moreover, they would have a hard time finis.h.i.+ng him too.
Li Lanfeng clenched his left fist and his entire domain territory got distorted. Li Lanfeng smiled. He hadn’t told his opponent that the black whirlpool was his domain.
Wind turned solemn when he saw when he saw the whirlpool getting increasingly distorted. “This is bad. Break his domain.”
The s.p.a.ce around him had just started distorting but his wind spheres had already turned unstable. If the entire area got distorted fully, their domain might be damaged which would be tragic for domain realm masters. The only way to stop this was to break his opponent’s domain and drag him into their domain.
