Translator: ryuxenji Editor: H2dH2mr "Die!" Xiao Chong roared angrily. Just as he was about to crush the other's throat, his fingers suddenly felt weak, and his entire body felt cold and numb. He had almost lost his grip on the other's neck. Thankfully, the other had already lost the strength to struggle, otherwise the other might have just broken free.
Could it be that the internal injury earlier had affected him? Xiao Chong's confusion had only just arisen when it was immediately dispelled by the heart-wrenching pain in his chest.
He instinctively looked down, and was stunned. The first thing he saw was a small, fair hand, on which was a strong beating heart... whose heart was this?
Then, his entire face contorted in horror, because he saw that a bloody hole had appeared in his chest. Right now, blood was spurting out from the bloody hole, not only staining his clothes, but also the ground he was standing on... while the little person standing before him was untainted by a speck of dust. Before the blood could reach the other, it was bounced back, as if there was something around him protecting him.
Xiao Chong's gaze returned to the heart in his little hand, and the bitterness in his mouth was unbearable. That lively fellow was his heart? When had his heart been dug out of his body? And he hadn't felt anything at all?
Right then, a small, fair hand gently wrapped itself around one of his wrists, gently pushing his hand aside. Only then did Xiao Chong realise that he had not grabbed the other's throat at all. His fingers were still several millimetres away from the other's throat, but he had not noticed it.
After pushing his fingers away with her little hand, she gently patted his face. Her initially cold and childish little face actually broke into a smile, a sweet and beautiful smile. For a moment, Xiao Chong felt as if he had seen the warm sun, dazzling yet warm enough to make one yearn for it.
"You can die now!" What followed the warm sun was a cruel reality.
Amidst the beautiful smile, this emotionless whisper rang out. Then, Xiao Chong heard a 'pop' sound, as if something had been crushed. He instinctively looked over, and then felt a heart-wrenching pain as his life force rapidly drained away.
It turned out that his heart had been completely crushed by that small hand. He saw that the other's fingers had even maliciously rubbed against his heart for a moment before finally flicking away all the minced meat in his hand with a flick of his finger. His fair little hand returned to normal, without a single drop of blood on it. It was as if the act of crushing his heart had just been a figment of Xiao Chong's imagination.
What was even more frightening was that even though he was doing something disgusting and terrifying, it was normal in the other party's eyes. There was a hint of mockery, ridicule, and interest in his eyes, but there was no discomfort or disgust, as if he was already used to such behavior.
This attitude of toying with the lives of others made Xiao Chong feel as if he had fallen into an ice cave, his entire body chilled … Devil, he must be a devil!
"Leader..." Xiao Chong turned his head with difficulty to look at his leader, who was standing at the front left, as if he wanted to remind him that the devil was here.
Domain stage combat experts were extremely sensitive to sight. The team leader whipped his head around and saw Xiao Chong's horrified expression. His expression changed, and he quickly retreated, widening the distance between himself and Ling Lan and the little bug. It was not that he did not want to save Xiao Chong, but the look in Xiao Chong's eyes was telling him to run. This made the team leader have no choice but to be cautious, wanting to understand the situation before making a decision.
As he pulled away, he also saw Xiao Chong's situation clearly. Xiao Chong's eyes were already greyish-white, completely devoid of life. He had used the last of his life to warn his leader.
The team leader's eyes turned crimson red, and a vicious glint flashed across his face. "Damn it, you can actually break through my Domain restrictions?"
In order to prevent any accidents from happening, he had specially used his Domain ability to completely seal off Ling Lan's mobility, ensuring that nothing would go wrong. Unexpectedly, he had still underestimated Ling Lan, actually allowing the other to break through his restraints and even kill his only remaining team member, Xiao Chong, right under his nose. This made him furious and regretful at the same time — he should have just killed the other instead of bringing him back.
Ling Lan was all smiles as she gently pushed Xiao Chong down with one finger. With a 'thump', Xiao Chong's sturdy body fell heavily to the ground.
Only then did the team leader see the cause of Xiao Chong's death — there was a large hole in his chest, blood still flowing from it. He also saw the pile of mangled flesh on the ground, and his entire face contorted in agony. "You're so vicious!"
Hearing this, Ling Lan waved the finger in front of her gently, and said with a grin, "Tsk, tsk, tsk, you're wrong. This is not vicious, but a masterpiece. Look at how beautiful his expression is. Normally, you won't see such a beautiful expression." Ling Lan's smile deepened. "You should thank me for letting you see this extremely rare face."
"Demon!" the team leader shouted angrily. "I will definitely kill you!" While the team leader hated Ling Lan, he also regretted not finishing off this demon right then.
"Kill me? Do you think you can kill me? "Ling Lan smiled and shook her head. She found the other's overconfident words rather laughable. She abruptly released her aura, and a terrifying and powerful aura descended upon this small forest. The team leader's expression changed drastically, and he blurted out, "Domain stage!"
The team leader had just finished speaking when he shook his head violently, his face full of disbelief. "This is impossible. He can't have jumped levels and entered Domain stage. It's fake, this must be fake..." He tried to convince himself that the terrifying aura the other had brought with him was just an illusion.
Actually, the team leader's reluctance to believe was not without reason. The further one progressed, the more important it was to take things one step at a time, especially after entering Refinement. Every increase in level was the accumulation of foundation, and it was extremely rare for one to jump levels to occur. This was especially true for Qi-Jin — every increase in level required several years of accumulation. For example, the team leader had been stuck at the great perfection of Qi-Jin for close to 10 whole years. Although he was only one step away from Domain stage, he had never found the opportunity to advance.
If not for the fact that his comrade had been killed silently right in front of him, causing his emotions to be agitated and his internal energy to become unstable, allowing him to unexpectedly obtain the opportunity to advance, perhaps he would have continued to be stuck at the great perfection of Qi-Jin for who knew how many more years...
His advancement had a certain degree of coincidence to begin with, but it was not strange. After all, he had long reached the great perfection of Qi-Jin, so advancing was within reason. However, the other was not. He had exchanged blows with the other and knew that the other had already reached the peak of Qi-Jin, but was still two small stages away from the great perfection. Just these two small stages alone would require three to five years of accumulation to advance, so how could he have entered Domain stage so quickly?
Not only that, the Domain stage aura the other was giving off was clearly thicker and more solid than his own. It was as if he had been in Domain stage for a long time, not something a novice Domain stage expert should have. This was completely illogical.
"After so much difficulty, I finally managed to cultivate such a little aberrant. Just now, he almost died at your hands. The moment I think of this, my mood becomes very bad. I'm not happy at all." Although Ling Lan said that she was unhappy, the smile on her face did not fade. Instead, it grew brighter and brighter. However, it was precisely this very sunny smile that sent a chill through the team leader's heart, a sense of danger he had never felt before welling up in his heart.
"What do you mean?" The team leader asked cautiously, his expression guarded. Of course, at this moment, he was also very confused, feeling that there was no way he could communicate with this somewhat perverted child before him.
Ling Lan sighed softly and used her fingers to gently tuck the hair behind her ear. Smiling, she said, "Even if I told you, you wouldn't understand... it seems like there's not much time left. Let's just get this over with quickly." That said, he muttered softly, "This lousy body, actually can't even last three minutes of my existence. How lousy... Number Nine, you need to put in more effort in the future to train this little fellow's body properly and make him a little stronger."
In the mindspace, Number Nine warned coldly, "Don't talk so much nonsense. Why aren't you finishing off the opponent? Do you really want Ling Lan's body to break down because of your presence? "
Number Nine was very dissatisfied. Number One had clearly told her to go out and finish off the opponent, but this bastard Number Five had actually gone out first. If not for the fact that she was afraid that seizing control of Ling Lan's body would cause it to break down faster, she definitely would not have let him have his way.
Number Nine's strength was the weakest of the nine. Originally, if she had gone out to take control of Ling Lan's body, she should have been able to hold on for at least seven to eight minutes. However, Number Five had disobeyed her orders and gone out on his own, causing Ling Lan's body to only be able to hold on for three minutes. Otherwise, it would break down. After all, Number Five's strength was too strong, and Ling Lan's current body was not able to hold on completely.
It should be known that the greater the difference in strength between the host and the host, the greater the damage to the host. If Number One had taken control of Ling Lan's body, it was estimated that in less than a second, Ling Lan's body would have completely broken down.
"Alright, it's good to be able to come out and get some fresh air." Number Five felt that he should not be too greedy. If he really did harm to Ling Lan's core, he would definitely be beaten up by Boss Number One until he could not even take care of himself. Worse, his consciousness might even be directly erased. Number Five's body trembled slightly, some lingering fear in his heart. Because he had wanted to come out and take a look at the host's world, he had forgotten how terrifying Boss Number One was.
Number Five decided to finish off the battle in a few seconds and immediately go back to beg for forgiveness from Boss. Thus, he flicked his finger lightly, and an invisible force enveloped the area within a radius of several miles. The team leader felt as if he was in a solidified liquid — just wanting to move required a Herculean effort.
"Activate Domain!" The team leader made a prompt decision to activate his own Domain, dispersing the force the opponent had imposed on him. Not only that, his body began to become hazy, and then the forest began to become misty. Just like that, his entire person disappeared.
Seeing this, the corners of Number Five's lips curled up slightly, revealing a trace of a smile. He chuckled softly and said, "This innate talent, is a little interesting!" That said, he closed his eyes slightly, as if listening intently to something, but also as if he did not care about it at all.
