Chapter 775: Reaper!
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“Who are you people? Aren’t people the Federation sent still at the academy?” The a.s.sa.s.sin asked with a fearful expression on his face. They clearly had lured all of the troops the military had sent. Why are there still domain realm masters here? Is there a traitor among them?
“The Huaxia Federation have had the 36 stratagems since ancient times. Have you not heard of it before?” The elegant middle-aged man replied with a smile.
“Make a sound in the east, then strike in the west…” The a.s.sa.s.sin said begrudgingly.
“Looks like you’ve researched the treasures of our ancestors very well. Since you were guarded against the attack on the academy, then we, of course, will make a sound in the east, and then strike in the west!” The elegant middle-aged man was still smiling warmly as if he was a teacher patiently answering his students’ elementary questions.
This att.i.tude was undoubtedly to mock these people. The a.s.sa.s.sin didn’t want to say anymore, as another question would undoubtedly lead to another insulting reply. Another sharp blade suddenly appeared in his other hand. With both swords in his hands, he ruthlessly pounced towards the elegant middle-aged man with a heavy piercing attack!
In actuality, there wasn’t only just one a.s.sa.s.sin. Two other a.s.sa.s.sin did appear, but it was just that they were intercepted by the two older domain realm masters who came with Ling Lan.
Currently, there was only one domain realm master that stayed beside Ling Lan, but not for long, as Ling Lan could feel another three stronger forces of presence in the manor.
In the next second, four domain realm masters suddenly flew out from the manor. Their auras were weaker compared to those who came out in the beginning. The last domain realm master beside Ling Lan frowned as he was surprised by the number of domain realm masters that were coming out of the manor. Although, he could stand his ground if they were to fight him one after another, but the outcome of the battle would be very different if they were to attack together. Right as he was about to intercept them, Ling Lan reached out her hand and pressed down on his shoulder.
This domain realm master had a shocked expression on his face. In the eyes of the others, Ling Lan had stopped him just before he had moved, but this domain realm master knew he had already moved. It was just that in the moment he moved, he was easily forced down by Ling Lan’s hand, forcibly removing his momentum.
Are t.i.tled domain realm masters this strong? This domain realm master started suspecting something was off. Although t.i.tled domain realm masters were stronger than them by one stage, they were definitely not strong enough to instantly stop them from moving. Who is this Regiment Commander Ling? Maybe, he just looked young, but was actually a one hundred old demon?
While this domain realm master was still in deep thought about Ling Lan’s age, Ling Lan looked towards Qi Long, Luo Lang and Xie Yi, and nodded to gesture to them that they could go in.
The three of them went in without any hesitation. It was just that there were four fake domain realm masters and they only had three people, so someone needed to fight against two of them.
Seeing this, Qi Long bit his lip and decided to take the harder challenge himself. Out of the three of them, he was the strongest. Thus, only he had hopes of defending against attacks from two opponents for one or two rounds. If it was Luo Lang or Xie Yi, they would probably just lose in one hit.
Suddenly, Ling Lan reached her hand out and grabbed someone behind her. Then, a silhouette could be seen flying straight into the battlefield and landing in front of one of the fake domain realm masters.
“If you’re not afraid to follow us, then you must have the resolve to die!” Ling Lan’s cold and heartless voice rang through Li Lanfeng’s ears.
Although Ling Lan was being cold and heartless, Li Lanfeng was not in low spirits. Instead, he was overjoyed. Li Lanfeng knew Ling Lan really well. If he didn’t have any hopes of winning against a fake domain realm master, Ling Lan would never let him go into battlefield and would also not say something like that… This meant that, even if there was a small chance, Ling Lan was still willing to believe that he would be able to find his way and become a domain realm master.
A man will die for anyone who recognizes his potential! Li Lanfeng finally understood the deeper meaning of those words! It was his life worth of luck that allowed him to have Ling Lan in his life.
Li Lanfeng suppressed his emotions and concentrated on the opponent standing in front of him. The only way he could repay Ling Lan was to make sure the trust that was given him didn’t go to waste. He must use this experience to understand the rules of the domain stage and become a domain realm master.
That’s right, even though Li Lanfeng had only reached the peak stage of Qi-Jin and hadn’t reached Great Perfection yet, he could still clearly feel a shapeless barrier that was halting his advancement… It appeared after his spiritual power was quelled by Ling Lan. As time went on, this feeling became even clearer. He didn’t know why his situation was different from the others, as they could only feel the barrier after reaching Great Perfection. He didn’t know whether it was a good or bad thing, and was clueless on what to do.
He originally wanted to ask Ling Lan after the mission, but after hearing there were fake domain realm masters and Ling Lan telling him to contact Qi Long, Luo Lang and Xie Yi, the intelligent Li Lanfeng knew what Ling Lan was planning. Ling Lan was creating an opportunity for the three of them to advance to the domain stage…
After understanding this, Li Lanfeng was really tempted to join. He didn’t want to be left behind by Ling Lan and lose to Ling Lan’s comrades. He wanted to follow in Ling Lan’s footsteps, so he couldn’t let others advance before he did. This was also the reason why he wanted to come here.
“Bam!” “Bam!” “Bam!”
On the other side, Qi Long and the other two have already begun their battles with the fake domain realm masters. They originally thought they would be severely injured in one hit, but their current situation was that they were just slightly injured. This made them realize that these domain realm masters were not on the same level as their Boss.
After gaining more confidence from their continuous successive defense, Qi Long and the other two became wilder as the battle went on. The three of them were the type of people who don’t care about their lives. Once they got used to the pace of the battle, unless they die, they wouldn’t stop fighting.
Just like that, they were continuously struck down by their opponents, but would always rebound back up and continue fighting like elastic bands. This made the three domain realm masters feel extremely amused by their hilarious acts, but as time went on, they began to become irritated.
They originally thought that they were just Qi-Jin stage ants who were performing a hilarious act without a care for their lives, and that it would only take a few hits until they die. However, after more than a dozen rounds, these three people were still full of vigor. Every hit caused them to spit out blood as if they were about to die. However, they didn’t know what type of medicinal agents they did consume for them to be constantly full of vigor.
In the end, they were actually held back by three Qi-Jin ants, blocking them off to the side so they couldn’t help the guests of their manor. They seemed to feel the watchful eyes that were filled with mockery coming from inside manor that were watching their battle. Their boss must definitely feel that they were losing face for the organization.
Everything they had were given by the organization. If the organization abandoned them… the three of them suddenly felt a chill in the air. They didn’t want to become ‘materials’ and die in the laboratory. With that crisis in mind, they finally activated their strongest domain techniques.
A sand element domain realm master was facing Luo Lang. A sand dragon appeared out of mid-air. Seeing the sand dragon, Luo Lang’s wild expression suddenly became calm. He transformed from being a berserk beauty to a beauty that was as cold as ice.
A wind element domain realm master, who loved close-range combat, was facing Qi Long. There were shapeless wind blades all around him with attacks that were undetectable by the naked eye. In actuality, Qi Long was in the most danger, but his smile was becoming wider and wider. It was as though he didn’t care about his life.
On Xie Yi side, a paper world had manifested. Layers and layers of paper started surrounding Xie Yi and the paper element domain realm master. In the end, it became a sphere made of paper, trapping Xie Yi and the paper domain realm master within it.
Qi Long, Luo Lang and Xie Yi had all reached the point where they had to fight for their lives. However, Li Lanfeng’s situation was even worse than theirs. With weaker physical skills, he could only be pushed back without any chance to counterattack. If it wasn’t for Li s.h.i.+yu’s medicinal agents, Li Lanfeng probably would have not been able to get up a long time ago. However, even with the medicinal agents Li Lanfeng was still not in a good state. Even though he didn’t die, he almost there. He was continuously spitting out blood from the hits his opponent was sending his way.
The domain realm master beside Ling Lan saw this and narrowed his eyes. His body moved unconsciously with the thought of helping them but he resisted the urge in the end. He looked at the cold, heartless and unmoving Ling Lan. He didn’t know what Ling Lan was thinking. Is he not doing anything because his comrades didn’t listen to his orders and came here on their own accord? So even if they were about to die on the battlefield, she wouldn’t make any moves just because it was their fault to begin with?
“Li Lanfeng, if you insist on following us, and die because of that, I will look down on you forever!” Li Lanfeng, who was somewhat in a dazed state, suddenly had Ling Lan’s cold voice rang through his mindscape.
“No, No, I don’t want that!” Anyone can look down on him, but Rabbit definitely cannot!
Li Lanfeng returned back to consciousness. What he first saw was his opponent activating his domain. His opponent was actually a gold element domain realm master. The surrounding area was filled with thin gold needles. In the next second, these gold needles would make Li Lanfeng into a porcupine.
His physical skills on paper was only short of Qi Long and the others by a small stage, but the difference in battle was so great. They could still endure in the fight, but Li Lanfeng could only watch as he gets beaten up…”Sh*t” Li Lanfeng cried out internally. If this was the virtual world, no one would be able to bully him like this? In there, he was the reaper who had control over life and death in the virtual world!
“If we are in the virtual world, I will just need one thought to kill them. One thought!”
Li Lanfeng, now full of wounds across his body, had blood running down his forehead like a fountain into his eyes, reddening his originally dark eyes. Now, he saw everything in a shade of red. Everyone was in a blood-red color…
Just like that, the people who he wanted to kill turned blood-red… After losing too much blood, Li Lanfeng’s consciousness wavered once again, making him feel that he had entered the virtual world…
“Thousand Needle Rain!” Every gold needle went towards Li Lanfeng. Ling Lan clenched her hand and trembled slightly, but she suddenly had a stunned expression on her face. She didn’t think that Li Lanfeng’s domain was like that.
“You want to kill me?” Li Lanfeng smirked with hint of mockery. “You actually dare to defy a reaper. Then, you must know that the reaper will take your life!”
Li Lanfeng’s entire force of presence changed. The s.p.a.ce around him became twisted and a strong force started to suck in everything around him.
Li Lanfeng slowly raised his right hand and a black reaper scythe slowly manifested in it.
