At this moment, the middle-aged man was sure that this young man had really reached the domain stage. He remembered that the Federation didn't update the age limit for physical skills advancement so he thought to himself, 'Could it be that this young man is actually an old monster that has lived for decades?'
Ling Lan looked calm but she was actually very excited. Ever since she advanced to the domain stage, besides the battle team activation test where she sparred with the leader of the special forces, this was the first time she had a real battle to the death with a domain stage master. Ling Lan felt pressured but she didn't feel any fear. She only felt an endless desire to fight …
Rainbow rain poured down crazily. A rainbow rain on Planet Kachi would take a few hours to finish. Ling Lan and her opponent, who were standing in the rain, weren't affected by the downpour. The two of them automatically activated their protective shields and blocked the raindrops from touching them. Not a single drop of raindrops touched them.
Almost at the same time, the two of them flashed and threw another punch at each other. This time, both of them used the power of their domains at the same time.
Domain stage masters wouldn't be like the previous few stages where they could exchange hundreds or thousands of blows. Their victory or defeat could be decided by one blow. The winner would definitely be the one who had a deeper understanding of the domain and a higher realm.
The two forces collided. The huge explosion caused the raindrops around them to scatter. There was even a strange scene where the raindrops flowed backwards into the sky.
The first person to notice the huge commotion on Ling Lan's side was Li Lanfeng and the other four people who were sniping at other small fries.
"It's Boss." Zilong said confidently. He didn't forget to pull the trigger on his sniper rifle and killed an enemy who was sneaking towards him.
"Looking at the commotion, it's definitely not something a Qi-Jin stage master can do. Could it be that Boss's opponent is a domain stage master?" Zhao Jun's eyes lit up. That was his dream. Unfortunately, the domain stage wasn't something that could be achieved by hard work. He had been stuck at the peak of Qi-Jin for a few years but didn't understand anything about the domain stage. No wonder most people in the Federation were stuck at Qi-Jin. Only the elites could advance to the domain stage and become strong.
Yes, only domain stage masters had the right to be called strong. Those who weren't domain stage masters were just ants.
Li Lanfeng only glanced at them for a moment before retracting his gaze. He calmly looked at the direction of his sniper rifle. From the way he was holding the gun, one could tell that he wasn't as calm as he appeared to be.
He looked at the group of enemies that suddenly appeared in front of them. He reminded the others with a cold expression on his face, "Boss, we have more people on our side. Everyone, be careful."
When he saw the new group of people, Li Lanfeng immediately understood that the other party probably chose to use them as a breakthrough point. Ling Lan took the initiative to attack for their safety. She stopped the other party's domain stage masters 700 to 800 meters away so that they wouldn't be affected by the battle between domain stage masters.
Li Lanfeng's reminder made the other four people's eyes turn cold. They retracted their attention and focused on sniping at the new group of enemies.
The rainbow rain was very beautiful. In this dazzling rainbow light, Ling Lan's team had to find the enemies hidden in every corner and accurately snipe them. This was a huge test of their long-range abilities and their eyesight. Thus, they couldn't afford to be distracted.
From the looks of it, Ling Lan's team was under the heaviest pressure. The only difference was that the other teams only had around 50 to 60 people. However, Ling Lan's team had close to 200 people. The young man chose to attack Ling Lan's team. It should be said that Ling Lan's team was a little unlucky.
"According to the news from the front, the number 37 on the Heaven Ranking has been intercepted!" In the office building, the young man received the news from his subordinate. His expression instantly changed.
This time, the person who made him so confident was the number 37 on the Heaven Ranking who had unexpectedly accepted the mission. Assassins who were on the Heaven Ranking were all domain stage masters. Unless it was an S rank mission (difficult, mysterious, or involved a domain stage master), most assassins on the Heaven Ranking wouldn't accept a mission of a lower rank.
The mission to assassinate Princess Gulibaduo of the Balaya Kingdom was rated as an A + rank mission in their organization. This was after taking into account the fact that there might be some Qi-Jin masters around her. If not, it wouldn't even be rated as an A rank mission.
The only good thing was that the reward was comparable to an S rank mission. It was only a little less than an S rank mission. It was also possible that the high bounty had tempted the No. 37 killer on the Heavenly List. After all, an A + Rank mission was much easier than an S Rank mission. Many killers on the Heavenly List liked to do this kind of simple, stress-free, but high-reward missions to relax and increase their own earnings.
Without a doubt, the appearance of the Heaven Ranking assassin made this mission much easier. If a domain stage master didn't have an opponent of the same level as him, no matter how many Qi-Jin masters there were, they wouldn't be able to block the attack of a domain stage master. Qi-Jin and domain were only one level apart but the difference between the two was like heaven and hell. Thus, in the physical skills world, there was a saying that those who weren't at the domain stage were like ants.
The young man believed that as long as the number 37 on the Heaven Ranking made a move, this mission would be completed easily. This was why he personally came out to lead this mission. Logically speaking, the higher-ups of the organization wouldn't appear at the front line of an assassination mission.
However, he didn't expect the number 37 on the Heaven Ranking assassin to be intercepted the moment he made a move. This meant that there was a hidden domain stage master among the bodyguards of Princess Gulibaduo.
"I didn't expect the Balaya Kingdom to place so much importance on their third heir." The young man muttered to himself. He originally thought that the Balaya Kingdom had given up on the third heir as compared to the other two princes. This was because the Balaya Kingdom didn't send any bodyguards to welcome the princess. Instead, they asked the princess to disguise herself as a normal passenger and board the Feiyang Ship.
With Princess Gulibaduo's wealth, they could only hire one or two mercenary teams to protect her. They had already increased the number of bodyguards by three to four times. Unfortunately, they were still wrong. Now, it seemed that the Balaya Kingdom didn't really give up on the princess. They must have sent a domain stage master to protect her secretly.
"What happened?" A few middle-aged men were sitting on the sofa waiting for the news. When they saw the young man's expression change, they looked at each other. One of the middle-aged men even took the initiative to ask.
The young man turned his head and said with a serious expression, "We underestimated the difficulty of this mission. We just received news that there is a domain stage master among the bodyguards."
Once he said this, their expressions changed. One of the middle-aged men jumped up in shock and said, "Immediately change the level of the mission to S rank."
The young man nodded and said, "I will."
He thought for a moment and finally said the truth, "The number 37 on the Heaven Ranking has already met the enemy." He had been hiding the fact that the number 37 on the Heaven Ranking had accepted the mission until now.
Once he said this, a surprised expression appeared on the faces of the people present. Their originally anxious expressions became relaxed. Since they had a domain stage master here, the situation wasn't too bad. It should still be within their control.
However, the young man wasn't as relaxed as the others. He walked to the French window with a cold expression and looked at the rainbow-colored rain falling from the sky. He waved at his assistant who was following closely behind him.
The assistant quickly passed a high-powered telescope to him. The young man picked up the telescope and looked in the direction of number 37 …
Ling Lan and her opponent's domain energy collided violently. She immediately felt the heat from the opponent that could burn everything.
"Fire element energy?" Ling Lan's unchanging cold expression moved slightly. Her ice element energy was still water element energy. Water and fire elements were natural enemies. Compared to the powerful fire element, water element energy was weaker. This meant that this domain stage master's energy was more of a counter to hers.
This thought flashed past Ling Lan's mind. She saw her opponent turn into a fire dragon and pounced towards her. Before she could react, she was swallowed up in an instant.
"Bang!" a loud sound was heard! The fire dragon that was wrapped around Ling Lan suddenly exploded.
If a sharp-eyed person was watching from the side, he or she would have noticed that there were some sparkling shards in the red flames. These shards were instantly submerged in the rainbow-colored rain and fell to the ground with it, instantly merging with the ground.
The scattered flames automatically merged together and slowly turned into a figure. It was the middle-aged domain stage master. He carefully observed his surroundings. His attack just now seemed to have hit his opponent but in reality, he didn't cause any damage to his opponent.
"My attack just now was blocked by a strong force. There was even a possibility that my attack might have bounced back. If my attack didn't exceed his defense, it would be hard to predict what the final result would be. This ability is similar to a defensive shield. However, what is his domain element?" The middle-aged domain stage master frowned. He actually didn't know what his opponent's domain element was. Without a doubt, this was very disadvantageous for him. "After the explosion, there were sparkling fragments that looked like diamonds. There wasn't any cold aura. I can rule out the possibility of ice element energy. Could it be a mutated earth element energy user?"
"If that's the case, I just need to be careful of the ground." The middle-aged domain stage master knew very well what kind of energy could merge with the environment. No matter how strong an earth element energy user was, he wouldn't be able to merge with water. Compared to the earth element, he was more worried that his opponent was an ice element energy user. The origin of ice element was water. In this kind of heavy rain, a water element domain stage master had the advantage of being at the right place.
The middle-aged domain stage master made a judgment and stared at the ground around him. If his opponent was really an earth element mutated, there was no doubt that he could attack the ground.
The middle-aged domain stage master was very careful. One minute passed, two minutes passed … At this moment, his body suddenly trembled. An unprecedented sense of danger spread from the bottom of his heart. Without thinking, he turned into flames again and spread out in all directions.
Suddenly, he felt that his body was being restrained in the air. What was going on? He didn't notice any energy seeping out from the ground.
The middle-aged domain realm master knew that he was in great danger so he quickly activated his domain. The area he was in instantly turned into a sea of fire. When the raindrops landed on the sea of fire, they were instantly burned to ashes. The raindrops turned into a formless mist and disappeared in the end.
"Number 37 activated his domain. It looks like he has met a strong opponent." The young man saw the sea of fire 3 km away through the high-power telescopic lens. His face became more solemn.
Number 37 was a fire element domain stage master. He was one of the top five assassins on the Heaven Ranking. If it wasn't for the fact that his domain attack was too simple and his defense was too weak, he wouldn't be ranked 37th on the Heaven Ranking.
However, this was only relative to the domain realm masters on the Heaven Ranking. Against the domain realm masters outside, the young man was still very confident in Number 37's strong attack power. Even if he met a top tier domain realm master who had been famous for a long time, he still had a chance. However, from the looks of it, the person who was in a tough battle wasn't the domain stage master protecting Princess Gulibaduo. It was Number 37. It looked like he had underestimated the domain stage masters outside.
"Can you tell which domain stage master he is?" The middle-aged men beside him also put down their binoculars. Their expressions were no longer as relaxed as before. Although they weren't domain realm masters, they could see that Number 37 was in a disadvantageous position. More importantly, they couldn't see the elements of the other party's domain. Under the rainbow rain, there was only Number 37's sea of flames. There was no other type of energy present …
The young man smiled bitterly. "No."
The young man thought that he had all the information he needed to be able to compete for the position of the president. However, reality slapped him in the face. He couldn't find any information about the domain stage master who was fighting with Number 37. He remembered all the domain stage masters in the human world. However, he couldn't find the person who was fighting with Number 37. This made the young man feel frustrated.
The middle-aged men didn't blame him. They couldn't deduce who his opponent was either. A middle-aged man comforted him. "The other party should be an old fox with rich combat experience. That's why he could hide his aura and energy elements so perfectly … We're too far away, so we can't see some things clearly. Perhaps No. 37 will know who the other party is. We just have to wait patiently."
The young man nodded. Everyone thought that even if Number 37 wasn't his opponent's match, he would still be able to escape safely. At that time, they would know who his opponent was.
When the middle-aged domain stage master released his domain, he finally broke free from the restraints. However, before he could relax, he suddenly felt a bone-chilling coldness spreading through his body.
He fell from the sky. The flames that were burning instantly dimmed. The raindrops extinguished the flames. Every time a flame was extinguished, the middle-aged domain stage master felt the coldness in his body increase.
The middle-aged domain stage master immediately circulated his fire energy in his body. Then, he realized that there were some ice flakes in his blood. These ice flakes caused his domain to collapse.
"You don't have earth element energy. You have ice element energy. I was actually tricked by you." The middle-aged domain stage master gritted his teeth. At the same time, he circulated his fire energy furiously to get rid of the ice flakes in his blood. He didn't care even if it burned his blood vessels. His internal injuries could be healed. However, if his body was taken over by his opponent's domain, he wouldn't be far from death. He was very clear about which was more important.
The moment the middle-aged domain stage master finished speaking, he saw a faint silhouette appearing in the rain.
"You are very powerful. I lost. I really want to know how you got rid of the ice element in your body." The middle-aged domain stage master didn't get angry. Instead, he calmly chatted with his opponent. If he had more time, he would be able to get rid of the ice element in his body. Then, he would be able to fight back. At that time, he wouldn't make the same mistake and let his opponent find a chance to inject the ice element into his body.
However, Ling Lan didn't give him any time. With a simple sentence, "Ice World.", she destroyed all of his hopes.
The area where Ling Lan was standing instantly turned into a world of ice. Even the rainbow rain instantly turned into rainbow-colored ice. In an instant, this place became a dream-like world of ice.
"Why …" The middle-aged domain stage master only managed to say these two words in fear. He didn't manage to get rid of the ice element in his body so he could only watch as the ice element in his body exploded. He watched as he turned into an ice statue. He couldn't die in peace. If he had one more second, he wouldn't have ended up like this.
Ling Lan slowly walked over and said softly, "I remember that no matter if it's in books or movies, when someone successfully turned the tables and won, it was usually because they talked too much. Do you think I would make such a low-level mistake?"
She snapped her fingers, and the world of ice that she had created suddenly exploded, turning into countless ice shards that merged with the rainbows that were pouring down. They could no longer be distinguished from each other.
In an instant, the dream-like world of ice disappeared. Only the rainbow-colored rain was left. It made people wonder if what they saw just now was just an illusion.
"Ding!" A crystal clear bead fell to the ground and made a crisp sound.
Ling Lan took a look at it. Her eyes were filled with surprise. Her Ice World could turn everything into ice element. In the end, it would shatter into pieces and disappear without a trace. She didn't expect this bead to survive in her world of ice. It seemed like it wasn't something ordinary.
