1034-1040

Chapter 1034 Escape!

Right as Xiao Yiqiu left the treatment room, he received a notification on his communicator. When Xiao Yiqiu opened it, his expression turned as cold as ice. Then, he replied with three words, "It is done."

If he wanted to enter the Flying Dragon Special Forces and become its leader, the current leaders of the Flying Dragon Special Forces must die.

In the morning of the day after, Tang Ningyu and Mu Chaoran were taken to the mecha hold of the tournament by the elder and middle-aged man. Mu Chaoran began to use their own exclusive hand signals to quietly move around. Tang Ningyu looked at him coldly with a look that only Mu Chaoran understood.

That was right. Ever since the elder and middle-aged man appeared before them, the two of them knew that they might not return alive this night. Despite the elder and middle-aged man restraining their killing intent, the two of them still managed to catch a whiff of it because they were specially trained to be able to feel this presence.

Mailer Fa had begun to plot their demise. The two of them must find a way to escape today. Luckily, they had already decided to find a chance to escape today and had already done all the preparations that needed to be done. However, the difficulties that laid before them were more serious than they had previously thought…

"We must immediately move out!" The longer they waited, the situation would turn less favourable to them. They must make a move before those people made a move on them.

Despite knowing how dire the situation was, Tang Ningyu and Mu Chaoran didn't show a hint of anxiousness or anxiety on their faces. They just calmly followed behind the elder with the middle-aged man walking behind them.

They entered the venue of the tournament. Right as they entered the corridor to the mecha hold, Tang Ningyu and Mu Chaoran sent a glance at each other. In the next second, the two of them suddenly pounced towards the middle-aged man…

This attack was too sudden so the elder walking in front of them reacted a bit slower. However, the middle-aged man unexpectedly reacted very quickly to the attack. He had ruthless expression on his face as he looked towards the two of them. He instinctively clenched his two fists and punched towards the two pouncing towards him.

As long as he could hold on, his comrade would be able to react to the situation and surround these two people to take them down.

Right at that moment, Tang Ningyu and Mu Chaoran suddenly shifted their bodies towards the right. The two of them actually rammed towards the wall on the right side of the corridor. Of course, they weren't reckless enough to use their own bodies as rams to break through the wall. Instead, they held both of their hands together and a purple flame instantly conjured into a large dragon before it smashed into the wall of the corridor.

Bang! A loud sound of flesh colliding into a concrete wall was heard.

The power of these two energies combined together was not like one plus one. Their domain energies were exponentially stronger when they combined together. The originally sturdy wall suddenly had a large crack in it.

Then, another bang was heard.

The two of them ruthlessly punched into the wall again, and finally created a hole in it. The two of them quickly jumped through the hole and countless surprised voices were heard from the hole.

The elder just reacted a little too slow when he realized they were escaping. The instant Tang Ningyu and Mu Chaoran jumped through the hole, he had just reached the hole in the wall. He cursed under his breath, but he still jumped down after them without any hesitation.

Right at that moment, a purple colored lightning dragon and a red colored fire dragon suddenly flew up from the hole. Seeing this, the elder didn't panic and only pushed down with both of his hands.

Bang!

It was as though the lightning dragon and the fire dragon had smashed into a formless shield, blocking it before they could reach the elder.

As for the elder, Tang Ningyu and Mu Chaoran's sneak attack didn't cause him to be in danger as it was too easy for him to counter. However, blocking the attack caused the elder's falling speed to slow down because of the counter force.

"Sh*t." When the elder realized this, his expression changed into a grimace.

This attack by his opponents wasn't actually a sneak attack. It was to give them more time to escape. After intercepting the attack, not only did he cause himself to slow down by half a second, he also gave his opponents half a second to escape. This attack had indeed slowed him down, but for his opponents, it was the complete opposite. These two energies crashing into each other would increase the speed of his opponents to be twice as fast. Just like that, his opponents gained an extra second to escape.

If they were under domain stage, this extra second perhaps would not be significant. However, with them being in the domain stage, one extra second was enough to change the outcome of the battle.

The elder didn't want to fail just like that. He continuously move his palms above him, trying to use counter force to increase his falling speed. However, he was not as decisive as Tang Ningyu and Mu Chaoran, as he was worried that he would destroy the structure above him by attacking it. With his current speed, he would, of course, not be able to catch up to the two of them.

As expected, when the elder landed at the bottom of the hole, his vision was just filled with chaotic scenes. Tang Ningyu and Mu Chaoran choosing this location to land was clearly planned out. It was because only this place had an audience seating area below it. They only had the chance to escape if they got into a crowd of thousands of people.

The elder used his domain energy to search for any foreign domain energy around him to find Tang Ningyu and Mu Chaoran. Soon, many domain realm masters' domain energy were detected. However, some were laced with a warning. This was because this type of powerful searching method was considered a provocation to other domain realm masters. If it wasn't because they were in Mai'er Fa's casino, these domain realm masters would already have an outburst of rage and perhaps would have begun fighting the elder.

"Young Master Rong, Tang Ningyu and Mu Chaoran got away." After searching for a while, the elder could only contact Young Master Rong.

"Useless trash!" Xiao Yiqiu, who was peacefully sitting in the room, suddenly stomped angrily when he received this information. He kicked away the table in front of him smashing it into a large glass window in the arena, shattering it to pieces.

"They must die!" Xiao Yiqiu's eyes turned blood red. His lips were actually beginning to crack and his teeth were growing into canines. It was because of his anger that his bloodline innate talent had awakened again.

Xiao Yiqiu seemed to feel that his mood was off and he immediately took a deep breath to calm himself down. The red pupils slowly returned to its former colour and his cracked lips also returned to normal.

When he felt he was calm enough, Xiao Yiqiu contacted the Sword Monarch, "Master Sword Monarch, we'll have to trouble you again."

"That's fine. The Celestial King had already given me the order to work with you," the Sword Monarch said calmly. He searched through the casino again and then replied, "They're still standing at the same place and not moving."

"Thank you, sir," Xiao Yiqiu replied respectfully. Then, he told what Sword Monarch said to the elder and the middle-aged man, who then sent their people to surround the area.

"Chaoran, something is off. They didn't split up and chase, but instead surrounded us. They probably have discovered us." Mailer Fa's way of dealing with them made Tang Ningyu, who was in the crowd, feel something was amiss.

Mu Chaoran frowned and thought about how were they discovered? It should be known that they had thought about a fool-proof plan.

Suddenly, Mu Chaoran remembered something and his expression darkened, "Not good. We miscalculated." They originally wanted to make use of a human's thoughts thinking that they were in a hurry to escape from this place that they would just run off and not stay in their current position. That was why they chose to hide at where they were and used a method that their chief taught them to avoid detection. They would then wait for the tournament to finish and follow the crowd out the venue. It was a pretty good plan but now that they think about it, it was a bad plan.

"What's wrong?" Tang Ningyu asked.

"The chief once said that our method could get past the eyes of domain realm masters under the imperial stage. However, Mai'er Fa has the Sword Monarch." Mu Chaoran smiled bitterly.

"So, the Sword Monarch discovered us!" Tang Ningyu finally understood why Mai'er Fa would be able to accurately surround them and not split their forces to chase them.

The two of them looked at each other. Suddenly, Mu Chaoran tossed something to the ground. This thing he took out was very small and it looked like a medicinal vial.

The medicine vial rolled down the stairs.

'1, 2, 3!' Mu Chaoran thought in his head and then a huge bang was heard. A large explosion suddenly shook the ground of the casino.

Then, smoke began to rise and covered the entire area not long after. This was a surprise to all the guests which caused the guests of the casino to scream out in fear. These guests were like headless chicken running amok. The security personnel of Mailer Fa were trying their best to shout at everyone for them to remain calm. However, they couldn't stop those guests and the entire area became wrought with chaos.

Tang Ningyu and Mu Chaoran used this chaos to run out with the crowd. Right as they were about to get out of the casino, they heard a snort.

The sound was soft, so soft that only they could hear, while the people around them couldn't hear it. This sound was also incredibly heavy. Heavy enough to freeze their bodies in place, causing them to stop in their tracks and unable to move.

"There!" The two people from Mai'er Fa quickly brought a dozen domain realm masters to surround them. Seeing the two of them standing there oddly, they all rushed towards them.

They all heard the cold snort. It was from the strongest person here, the master, Sword Monarch. However, the Sword Monarch's snort was targeted towards Tang Ningyu and Mu Chaoran, thus these other domain realm masters were not affected.

Once they get surrounded, the two of them would be dead for sure.

Faced with the high possibility of death, Tang Ningyu and Mu Chaoran's eyes were red with anger even though their bodies couldn't move. Their hearts were filled with the thought of not giving in.

As the first leaders of their new generation, they had their own pride. They didn't want to be killed at such a random place like Mai'er Fa. They still had a lot of questions they didn't have answers for. Even if the died, they must die knowing everything. Die in fashion and not die in frustration.

Perhaps the unwillingness to give in activated their unawakened potentials. They suddenly regained control of their originally petrified bodies.

The two of them quickly rushed towards a domain realm master, who was blocking the door, without hesitation. Now, they could only fight their way out.

Ever since the mission on Planet Azure, the two of them had always worked together in incredible sync with each other. With the two of them both sen odingut a lightning dragon and fire dragon each, these two dragons with strong offensive elements actually combined during its way towards their opponent and became a giant purple and red dragon.

This was a combination technique that they had created in the past when they worked together. Its combined power was much stronger than the power of one elemental dragon. It could even be four or five times stronger.

Being in a life-or-death situation, the two of them instantly used their strongest combination technique to make a way for them to get out alive.

Of course, this combination technique wasn't their strongest sure-kill technique. They were only trying to escape. If they were sure they couldn't escape, then they would choose a sure-kill technique that damaged both themselves and their opponents. Even if they were to die, they would also want to take someone with them. This was the tradition of the soldiers from the Huaxia Federation. They would rather die than be a prisoner and while dying they must take someone with them to the afterlife.

It was also because of this reason that the Huaxia Federation was able to become the strongest nation and be feared by all other nations. The other nations all considered the soldiers from the Huaxia Federation to be crazy individuals… It wasn't fun fighting with insane people.

The domain realm master blocking the door wasn't prepared for this attack. He quickly put up his shield. However, how could his not-so-tough shield be able to block an attack that was N times stronger?

"Bang!" The giant red and purple dragon instantly shattered the opponent's shield. The residual energy instantly hit that individual, sending him flying. A mouthful of blood was seen in mid-air.

Chance! Tang Ningyu and Mu Chaoran instantly ran towards the door so fast that they looked like lines of light.

"Hmph!" Another cold snort sounded.

This time, Tang Ningyu and Mu Chaoran were prepared. They bit their tongues fiercely, resolving the dizziness and stiffness coming from the cold snort. The two of them were afraid one of them wouldn't be able to break free of this attack, so the two of them held each other hands firmly. Whoever was awake would take the other and escape.

"Stay right where you are!" Tang Ningyu and Mu Chaoran were just about to escape the casino. Once they get out, Mai'er Fa would not be able to find them anymore, even Sword Monarch probably wouldn't be able to find them. Thus, seeing that his subordinates weren't doing their job well, Sword Monarch, who had only just made noises, made a move!

A sword flew down from a room within the casino. It cut through everything in its path and was flying towards Tang Ningyu and Mu Chaoran, who were running for their lives.

Tang Ningyu and Mu Chaoran ran forwards for their lives. Even if they didn't turn around, they were still able to feel the terrifying energy that could cut them up into mince meat. The hairs on their back shot up. Mu Chaoran's expression showed that he had made a difficult decision. He flung his right hand with all his might to toss Tang Ningyu towards the exit.

Tang Ningyu only felt that holding Mu Chaoran's hand was like holding a fish in water. With Tang Ningyu suddenly slipping and being unprepared, he was easily tossed away by Mu Chaoran. His entire body flew forwards quickly because of Mu Chaoran's strength.

"I'll leave the Flying Dragon Special Forces to you," Mu Chaoran's voice rang beside Tang Ningyu ears. Tang Ningyu's eyes became warm instantly. He understood in an instant that Mu Chaoran was preparing to sacrifice himself to give him a chance to escape.

They could not escape from the Sword Monarch's sword. The only way they could escape was if one of them blocked the attack, while the other lives on. Thus, Mu Chaoran decisively made the decision to stay behind and left him with the hope of living through it all.

Tang Ningyu knew well that Mu Chaoran actually hated him. That was because his existence made Mu Chaoran became a shadow that would never be able to become a leader of the Flying Dragon Special Forces. It was just he didn't think that in the end, Mu Chaoran actually would sacrifice himself to save him…

Tang Ningyu's sadness was only for a moment. In the next second, he became as calm as ever because he couldn't let Mu Chaoran's sacrifice to be in vain.

Tang Ningyu increased his speed and ran towards the exit with seemingly no regard for the safety of the comrade he left behind. In the eyes of bystanders, Tang Ningyu was a coward who would abandon his comrade to save his own life.

Chapter 1035 Who?

Mu Chaoran, who tossed out Tang Ningyu, turned around and faced the sword coming his way in a calm manner. He took a deep breath and put out his right hand. His right arm became a raging inferno and began to give off a molten presence.

"Come!" Mu Chaoran had a determined expression on his face as he jumped up into the air. The inferno engulfed his entire body in an instant. He was like a human torch. He quickly went towards the sword that could slice through anything.

The inferno and the sword smashed into each other. The reality of it was just as everyone had predicted. There wasn't anything that could stop the sword. The raging inferno was instantly dispersed by the sword, revealing Mu Chaoran's real body. If Mu Chaoran didn't have any other ultimate techniques that could save his life, the next time the sword hit him it would instantly cut his body into tiny pieces, turning him into a puddle of blood in the end.

Everyone knew Mu Chaoran could not escape anymore. The difference between imperial stage domain realm masters and an actual imperial realm formidable experts wasn't the difference of two levels. Instead, it was a difference between night and day.

Right as everyone believed Mu Chaoran was about die, light particles suddenly appeared in the air which almost blinded everyone.

The place where Mu Chaoran and the sword crashed into each other had a crystal-clear sword ruthlessly stabbing through the Sword Monarch's sword.

"Bang!" The reaction between the two energies instantly caused an explosion to occur. Mu Chaoran was sent flying and the large following shockwave severely injured him. He spat out countless amounts of blood in the air. What he could rejoice was the fact he was flying towards the direction Tang Ningyu was running towards.

The heavily injured Mu Chaoran, who was encased by a layer of ice, was not discovered by others. This was because he was in the air and also because the explosion causing those around to protect themselves and not look at the situation around them. The layer of ice was the main reason why he was able to survive the explosion caused by the collision of the two energies.

Mu Chaoran was injured to the point where he couldn't even move anymore. However, the explosive energy that sent him flying actually helped him catch up to Tang Ningyu, who was running as fast as he could on the ground.

Tang Ningyu seemingly was already prepared for him to be at that position. When Mu Chaoran flew above him, he jumped up and caught him.

"Who?" Although Mu Chaoran was almost dead, he still wanted an answer. Who was the person that saved him?

"Not sure, but he was also the one who notified me to catch you here." Tang Ningyu told him why he was prepared to catch him. He was already prepared with a vial of medicinal agent in his right hand and made Mu Chaoran drink it. At least for now, Mu Chaoran's life was not in danger.

Seeing the person he was about to kill got away, Sword Monarch actually didn't become angry. Instead, he had a joyful look on his face. The person he was looking for finally made a move.

That was right. The reason Sword Monarch was making a move was mostly to lure out the strong individual who fought against him that night. The Sword Monarch believed that this person definitely had something to do with the two people from the Flying Dragon Special Forces. Otherwise, he wouldn't have saved those two brats that night.

"You finally appeared!" Suddenly, Sword Monarch's voice echoed in the air. Then, the silhouette of the Sword Monarch appeared at the casino's roof, watching all that was below him.

"You knew that I would make a move?" A cold voice echoed in the air. On the ground, a man with a metal mask and black windbreaker suddenly appeared. It was indeed Ling Lan.

"That night, didn't you go against me because of those two as well?" Sword Monarch said confidently.

"Did I?" Ling Lan replied ambiguously, neither ascertaining or denying the claim.

The Sword Monarch took that as acknowledgment and continued, "Becoming an imperial realm formidable warrior makes it so that I have to stay in one place, making me unable to have any chance of fighting other imperial realm formidable warrior. This was something that I regretted deeply. I had thought that I would never be able to realize this wish. I didn't expect that there would actually be an imperial realm formidable warrior infiltrating Mailer Fa…"

"Although I don't know why you went against the Human United Agreement and came to Mailer Fa, for me, your arrival is the best thing that has ever happened to me in the past decade." The Sword Monarch's eyes glimmered. After meditating for decades, he had new realizations about the imperial stage so he was anxiously trying to find an equal to ascertain whether his realizations were right or not. However, a battle in the imperial stage was too destructive. Moreover, it was forbidden by all the nations for imperial stage masters to fight each other. Hence, the Sword Monarch had to give up on his desire to fight and become trapped in this place.

Ling Lan didn't answer Sword Monarch's question. Was she going to tell him that she actually wasn't an imperial realm formidable warrior, but was a pseudo imperial realm formidable warrior with two domains?

The Sword Monarch also wasn't expecting Ling Lan to answer his question. He was very excited and his will to fight was becoming stronger and stronger. As his fighting spirit increased, swords began to seep out from his body and slashing all the things around him into pieces.

At that moment, Mailer Fa's casino's guests had already evacuated through Mailer Fa's arrangements. Other than the domain realm masters from different factions, the politicians, nobles and elite families in the vip rooms, there was also Xiao Yiqiu, who had been watching the chase from his VIP rooms all these while.

Seeing Ling Lan appear on the ground, Xiao Yiqiu instantly frowned. He kept feeling that he knew that person.

"That's odd. When did I meet him?" Xiao Yiqiu began to think hard. Perhaps he had thought too hard that he actually felt an immense headache.

"Again." Xiao Yiqiu held his head in pain and tried to clear his mind. Every time he tried to think deeply, this would happen. This was probably the trauma that came from the surgery. However, didn't those doctors say that it would go away quickly? Why was it after all this time, he would still have a headache when he tried to think?

Xiao Yiqiu thought this headache was the same as the past occurrences that would quickly stop. However, he didn't expect the pain to just become worse and worse, and actually became many times more painful than before.

"Sh*t. I will definitely kill those fake doctors!" Xiao Yiqiu laid on the sofa without any energy. He curled up into a ball and waited for the immense pain to stop.

Yes, he would definitely kill them. They actually dared to say that the surgery was a success? What success? It was clearly a failed operation. It should be known that a real successful operation would not have symptoms like this afterwards.

However, all of this could only be done after he gets past all this pain. Xiao Yiqiu clenched his teeth and forced himself to stop thinking about all that feeling of familiarity… As for the familiar person with the mask and black coat, he didn't dare to think about him again. Thinking more about him was going to kill Xiao Yiqiu.

Back to Tang Ningyu and Mu Chaoran. Tang Ningyu suddenly felt a huge pressure boring down him. His mind was swayed with the desire of wanting to kneel down.

"Ugh!" Mu Chaoran spat out a mouthful of blood. The overwhelming pressure caused Mu Chaoran to be even more injured.

Mu Chaoran's reaction made Tang Ningyu become more determined. He clenched his teeth to the point of almost breaking them. However, this immense pain also made Tang Ningyu completely break away from the pressure which caused the speed at which he was running to increase once again.

Chapter 1036 Ice Element Imperial Realm!

He must leave the domain territory of these imperial realm formidable warriors. Tang Ningyu knew that Mu Chaoran's body was unable to withstand another injury. The force of a battle between imperial realm formidable warriors was enough to destroy everything around them. The closer they were to the imperial realm formidable warriors, the greater the fight's impact had on them.

Mu Chaoran knew that leaving was the best decision. He looked at the location of the battle behind them. He wanted to know who saved them but the distance was too far, so he couldn't see anything.

The force of presence exuding out of Sword Monarch got stronger. Below, Ling Lan increased her force of presence too. Although the Sword Monarch was on higher ground, their force of presence was equally as powerful.

In a certain room, a young man asked the elder beside him, "Mister Lang Yi, why haven't they started fighting yet?"

The elder was focused on the battle between the two imperial realm formidable warriors, as this was a rare opportunity for him to get a glimpse of the battle between two imperial realm formidable warriors. He turned and replied, "Prince Tali, the fights between imperial realm formidable warriors are not like the usual fights. The result of the battle will occur in an instant. They won't have to fight for days and nights. To launch their lethal attack, they just needed to increase their force of presence to the highest level."

The young man nodded in comprehension but he still seemed a little confused. The old man sighed when he noticed the confusion. Prince Tali was lacking in the mental department, but he still hoped that Prince Tali would be able to gain some enlightenment from this battle and not waste this rare opportunity.

"Luckily, the rooms of Mai'er Fa are able to withstand three attacks from an imperial realm formidable warriors. If not, I won't dare to let you watch this match so closely." The elder felt fortunate that they were at Mailer Fa to spectate this scene.

"Why? Aren't you able to protect us?" Another lady with red hair asked curiously.

"Princess Irene, you're thinking too highly of me. Although imperial stage domain experts like me are imperial stage experts, we're still a half step to becoming an imperial realm formidable warrior. People like us are still considered humans when compared to imperial realm formidable warrior." The elder sighed lightly. "No matter how strong a human is, they're nothing in front of gods. Imperial realm formidable warriors are like half-gods. They just possessed traits of gods. They're not someone people like us can handle."

Prince Tali and Princess Irene's faces turned pale. They looked at the transparent glass in front of them in fear. If Mister Lang Yi was right, would this brittle glass be able to withstand the attack of an imperial realm formidable warrior?

"Don't worry. Mai'er Fa abides by their promise. If they said this glass can withstand three attacks from an imperial realm formidable warrior, it can. Plus, these glass windows have been tested before. No matter how weak they are, they will at least be able to withstand two attacks." The elder consoled the young people when he saw the fear in their eyes.

"Ah! They started to actually fight." Irene had been staring at Ling Lan all these while. She exclaimed instantly when she saw Ling Lan moving.

The elder didn't have the time to chat with them anymore. This battle between imperial realm formidable warriors was useful to imperial stage domain experts like him. It might be their opportunity to advance to the imperial realm if they could peer through the secrets of the imperial realm from the fight.

Ling Lan took a step forward and pointed at Sword Monarch who was in the air.

A huge ice sword instantly appeared on top of Sword Monarch and it slashed towards Sword Monarch.

Ling Lan chose her most powerful single-target technique.

"It's the ice element!" Now, all the domain realm masters knew what Ling Lan's element was the moment they saw her technique.

"Sword Monarch should win this match."

"A single target technique imbued with the ice element is powerful but compared to Sword Monarch's technique using the metal element, it's not as strong. This is a bad fight."

Everyone thought that Ling Lan was fighting an already predetermined fight due to her not fully utilizing her ice element by choosing to use a single target technique instead of something like territorial technique which played to the strength of her technique and not her opponent's strength. Hence, they thought that Sword Monarch would be winning this match no matter what.

They couldn't be blamed for thinking this way. After all, no mistakes were allowed in a battle between imperial realm formidable warrior.

Sword Monarch saw his opponent using a single target technique and felt elated. He was stunned but happy at the same time. He already gained an advantage before the fight really started.

Sword Monarch waved his hand and a huge metal sword rose from the grounds of the arena. It clashed with the ice sword that slashed at him.

Clang! The two huge swords swung at each other. The huge force destroyed most of the structures below it. Luckily, Mai'er Fa was true to their promise. Although the structures around them were destroyed, the main pillar and rooms were still standing.

The people in the VIP rooms felt at ease. They could watch the match with a relaxed heart now.

Chapter 1037 Haggard Young Lady!

Just as everyone thought that Sword Monarch would definitely win this battle, the huge ice sword suddenly dispersed into numerous thin ice needles and flew towards Sword Monarch from all directions.

"Territorial technique!" The domain realm masters watching shouted in surprise.

That single target technique by Ling Lan was actually just a disguise. It was used to fool her opponents into thinking that they were facing a single target technique. The real power behind her giant ice sword was her territorial technique.

"As expected, all imperial realm formidable warriors are sly old foxes." All the domain realm masters had this thought in their minds.

Sword Monarch was flabbergasted by the sudden change in technique. However, as an imperial realm formidable warrior, he had many such experiences in the past, even some against more cunning and sly opponents. He didn't get flustered and quickly released all his domain energy. His domain energy quickly formed a shield made out of swords around him, blocking all the ice needles.

However, many domain realm masters with sharp eyes noticed that the shield was slowly becoming thinner and thinner. It used to be around three meters thick but now, it was only one meter thick. This meant that the attack from Ling Lan was slowly corroding Sword Monarch's domain energy. Now, the battle would now be determined by the person who had a more powerful and stronger domain energy.

Just as everyone was waiting for the result of this match, the man in black suddenly disappeared. The ice needles in the air disappeared too.

"As expected of Sword Monarch. I admire you. Hope to fight with you again." A cold voice grew fainter until it disappeared.

"Damn it!" Sword Monarch was all spurred up. Hence, when his opponent disappeared, he felt humiliated. He felt as though he pushed against a wall but the wall suddenly disappeared. It was frustrating. He shouted furiously. The huge sword shield in front of him flew out and slashed towards the spot where his opponent had disappeared.

A crack a thousand meters in length had formed on the ground.

Sword Monarch didn't expect his opponent to run away before even finishing one attack. This was not how an imperial realm formidable warrior should act.

Sword Monarch wasn't satisfied with this fight. He waved his hand furiously and left the arena. He went back to his room to continue feeling frustrated. The audience just exchanged glances with one another in confusion.

The exciting battle between imperial realm formidable warrior ended the moment it started.

The audience was not satisfied with the battle too. However, since the ice element imperial realm formidable warrior was gone, they could only leave with regret. They didn't know when they would be able to spectate a fight between imperial realm formidable warriors again.

Only workers of the casino remained at the scene. Tang Ningyu and Mu Chaoran had formed a huge hole in the safest gambling arena known by everyone in the human world, but this was just a small matter. The battle between the imperial realm formidable warrior, although they only exchanged half a blow, formed thousands of holes in the building. They were glad that the main pillars and structures were still stable so they only needed to patch up the holes. However, this was a huge project too. It would take a few months to mend this building.

The middle-aged man and the elder were sitting in a room and watching the fight between the imperial realm formidable warrior too. After everyone had left, the middle-aged man looked at the old man and asked in a low voice, "What do we do now? How do we answer to Young Master Rong?"

Young Master Rong was the leader of the new generation of their organization. If he vented his anger on them, they would have a hard time in the future.

"What else can we do? If Young Master Rong didn't keep those two people alive at the start, they would have been dead by now. All these troublesome matters wouldn't have happened too." The old man scoffed, "He should be the one having a headache, not us. He needs to answer to his superiors about this mess."

The middle-aged man nodded. He calmed down a little.

"However, we'll have some hard time after this. Before this storm dies down, we need to be careful. We mustn't let anyone get hold of our weakness to force us to take the fall." The old man reminded the middle-aged man after thinking for a while. Those two people escaped in their hands. If Young Master Rong wanted to blame them, they could only accept it.

"Maybe we should find a reason to be stationed in a faraway place." The middle-aged man agreed with the old man and gave his own suggestion.

"That's a good plan." The old man felt that this was a good idea. He decided to use his network to make this request after he got back.

At that moment, Xiao Yiqiu's head finally stopped hurting. He regained his senses. When he knew that Tang Ningyu and Mu Chaoran had escaped, he was angry. However, he wasn't as furious as he had imagined.

"It looks like heaven wants us to have a fair fight. Wish you good luck!" Xiao Yiqiu could only accept this result.

The crack on the ground was a thousand meters in length. There were many water pipes below the ground so when the sword slashed the ground, the water pipes burst and water sprayed everywhere. Many small puddles of water formed on the ground.

Three hours after the battle between the imperial realm formidable warriors had ended, a young lady wearing a shaw hat and a long dress appeared on the walkway. She had many bags in her hands. It looked as though she had just gone for shopping and was walking passed this area. When she realized that the normal path ahead of her was split into two, she stopped in astonishment.

She hesitated for a while. Then, she lifted her dress, wanting to jump over the crack.

However, she was quite unlucky. She lifted a corner of her dress but the other side hooked onto the edge of a pipe. The sound of cloth tearing was heard.

Splash! The young lady fell into a puddle of water. She was flustered. Her hat flew out, revealing a beautiful small face.

She quickly got up. However, there were many workers from Mailer Fa around her. There were also guards watching over the surroundings to watch out for suspicious people. When they saw this scene, they laughed lightly.

The young lady heard their laughter. She blushed as she stood in a puddle of water. She quickly grabbed her shaw hat and climbed out of the puddle to the other side of the road. Her dress was made from water-absorbent material so half of the water from the puddle got sucked by her dress.

"Hey, young lady, eat more papaya. If not, you won't be able to grow big." One of the workers whistled and teased the young lady.

The people around him laughed.

The young lady glared at the person who spoke. Then, she lifted her dress and ran off.

The group of men laughed and whistled again.

To these people, this was an unexpected reward during their working hours. They were able to see a little beauty coming out of the water. She looked a little haggard but she was still beautiful. They didn't mind how disheveled she was. However, they felt pity when they saw she was flat. That was why the worker kindly recommended the young lady to eat more papaya.

Chapter 1038 Hurt!

The young lady quickly ran back to her room. As she closed the door, her wet dress became dry in an instant. The water from the dress moved to the center of the room and congregated into a figure.

Ling Lan stood there with a pale face. Her white face made the scars exceptionally prominent.

The young lady felt a sharp pain in her heart. She asked worriedly, "Rabbit, are you alright?���

Ling Lan bore with the tremendous pain and teased Li Lanfeng, "Lanfeng, I didn't expect your disguise to be so ladylike."

The young lady that fell into the puddle of water was actually Li Lanfeng. His look now was the result of eating a disguise pill. Although it was not as beautiful and mesmerizing as his real appearance, it was still very cute and pretty. He even looked a little like Luo Lang. Ling Lan couldn't help but make a wild conclusion. Did this mean that Li Lanfeng had other thoughts towards Luo Lang? Who would be the dominant one in the relationship? Ling Lan felt that that question was too difficult, as they were both very passive.

Li Lanfeng glared at Ling Lan after hearing what she said. He seemed to be angered by what she said. Ling Lan quickly stopped her brain from making all sorts of conclusions. Damn it, even after this man's beauty dropped after putting on a disguise, he was still so mesmerizing. Ling Lan felt her heart wavering. She really wanted to tease this little beauty more.

However, her thoughts were disrupted by an excruciating pain. She frowned.

Li Lanfeng saw the scary wound on her back which was as deep as half his finger. Sword Monarch's last attack hit Ling Lan. However, Ling Lan changed into her element so Sword Monarch was unable to notice it before Ling Lan left.

Sword Monarch had this misunderstanding because in both encounters, Ling Lan's force of presence felt like the presence of an imperial realm formidable warrior. Hence, Sword Monarch thought that she was an imperial realm formidable warrior. He wouldn't expect that Ling Lan would escape because she got hurt. He just felt that the other party left and got furious about it. Hence, he didn't search his surroundings carefully. If not, with his ability, he might be able to detect something amiss even if he couldn't find Ling Lan's exact position.

The wound was deep but not much blood was oozing out. Ling Lan had contracted her muscles to block her arteries. But, the deep wound still made Li Lanfeng's heart ache.

"Let me clean your wound." Before Ling Lan could reply, Li Lanfeng pushed Ling Lan on the bed and asked her to lie down.

Ling Lan hesitated. Should she undress?

Under Li Lanfeng's firm gaze, Ling Lan quickly revealed half of her back which was injured. 'I am just revealing my shoulders, that should be fine right? I'll just pretend that I'm wearing a backless top.'

Li Shiyu carefully cleaned Ling Lan's wound. Luckily, Li Shiyu prepared many agents for him after knowing that Li Lanfeng was going to Mailer Fa. Some were prepared for him but some were prepared for Ling Lan. Li Lanfeng didn't tell Li Shiyu that he came to Mai'er Fa to look for Ling Lan but Li Shiyu just guessed he would disturb Ling Lan. Hence, he prepared some medicine that was good for her injuries.

Other than Li Shiyu's agents, no other agents would work for Ling Lan.

"What's the situation now?" Ling Lan revealed her shoulder decisively but she still felt awkward. Thus, she decided to ask Li Lanfeng a question to relieve the awkward atmosphere.

"Mai'er Fa is on alert. It's not easy to leave Mailer Fa now. The procedures to leave are now strict." Li Lanfeng knew what Ling Lan wanted to ask, "They told the outside world that they were attacked by an unknown terrorist organization."

"It's okay. I'm able to hide my identity. However, your identity is a problem." Li Lanfeng's current face was fake. Once someone investigated him, they would notice something amiss.

"There is no problem. This disguise will last for just a day. Once the day ends, I go back to where I stayed." Li Lanfeng wasn't worried about himself. He was only worried about Li Lanfeng.

"I'm afraid that you might not be able to go back." Ling Lan frowned.

"Do you mean that my identity is exposed?" Li Lanfeng quickly understood what Ling Lan meant.

"Since Tang Ningyu and Mu Chaoran were betrayed, the other party might have warned Mailer Fa about you," Ling Lan replied.

"I didn't use the fake identity that the military gave me." Li Lanfeng was here to look for Ling Lan. He didn't want to be discovered by the military so he arranged another fake identity for himself.

"It wouldn't affect Mailer Fa's investigation. No matter what disguise you use, a fake is still a fake," Ling Lan said calmly. "As there is a god-class hacker here."

"God-class?!" Li Lanfeng's hands froze in midair. His expression changed slightly. "How is that possible?"

There were god-class hackers in this world. There were two god-class hackers in the Federation. However, God-class hackers were always controlled by powerful nations. How could a small nation like Mai'er Fa have a god-class hacker? Li Lanfeng finally understood why Ling Lan said that his identity might be exposed. No matter how well he faked his identity, it wouldn't be able to fool a god-class hacker.

"When I was searching for information on the Magic Ace Mecha Clan, the god-class hacker discovered me. Fortunately, I ran away in time." Little Four was the one who did this but Little Four was part of her too. Hence, she wasn't lying

Li Lanfeng knew that Ling Lan was explaining why she thought that there was a god-class hacker in Mai'er Fa. He nodded. "I understand. I'll be careful."

"Wait, bring me back to Miss Seven. With Li Yinfei and Miss Seven around, that place is the safest," Ling Lan said.

"It's the safest but the surveillance around them will be strict." Mailer Fa wouldn't ignore these strangers. They would definitely make the necessary arrangements.

Li Lanfeng didn't want to cause more troubles for Ling Lan. Ling Lan had a fake identity she could use to stay here. But, if he stayed beside Ling Lan, it would make things difficult.

"The most dangerous place is the safest place." Ling Lan replied. "But I have to trouble you to disguise as a lady again."

Li Lanfeng finally understood why Ling Lan said that with Li Yinfei around, that place was the safest. With Li Yinfei and Miss Seven around, the people form Mai'er Fa could only search through the starship secretly. If he had to, he could disguise as Li Yinfei to deter them.

"I understand." Li Lanfeng agreed readily.

Li Lanfeng didn't realize that he reviewed his bottomline again. In the past, he would be furious when someone said he was beautiful. Now, because of Ling Lan, he forced himself to dress like a lady for a long period of time, but he wasn't embarrassed or angry about it. The thing that he hated in the past meant nothing to him now.

Chapter 1039 Search!

One week had passed.

"Is there still no signs of them?" The department chief of the security department of Mai'er Fa asked his secretary.

"No… although we found their fake identities, we still couldn't find them," the secretary replied nervously.

"They can only leave Mai'er Fa either through public cruise ships or private starships. Have you inspected all the private starships?" The chief frowned. He was unhappy. One week of tight security was the maximum time they could implement. If they stopped the tourists from leaving further, they might protest violently and this would cause the reputation of Mai'er Fa to drop. It was not something they could afford.

"We've searched all the starships except…" The secretary wiped the cold sweat on his forehead.

"Who else is there? Didn't we order all the private starships to be searched? Whose starship didn't get search? Did they object to our search? There must be a problem with their starship if they objected to the search." The chief got excited.

"It's the starship Miss Li Yinfei is in which is the private starship of the Beitang family too. They were invited by us. Without your approval, no one dared to search them," the secretary explained hurriedly.

The department chief remained silent for a moment. After a while, he sighed. "Search them. If nothing is found, we'll compensate them." If the two people from the Flying Dragon Special Forces went back to the Federation, there would be huge consequences. They couldn't risk that even if they had to compensate heavily for that.

The secretary was about to leave but the chief suddenly thought of something. He shouted hurriedly, "Wait, bring some ladies along. Ask them to search for Miss Li and Miss Seven's room. Remember to explain to them nicely. Don't offend them."

"Yes!" The secretary left instantly.

"Damn it, who suggested inviting Li Yinfei over? How troublesome." The chief saw that no one was around so he complained to himself.

Li Yinfei didn't have a powerful background but she had many loyal fans so Mai'er Fa didn't dare to offend her. In the past, there was a popular singer who got humiliated by a faction from a certain nation. After this issue was exposed, the faction was wiped out. This was because one of the princesses from the nation was a loyal fan of the singer. The princess was furious when she found out so she ordered her army to destroy the faction.

Li Yinfei was very beautiful. Even some of the workers in Mai'er Fa were her loyal fans. The chief didn't believe that his subordinates didn't dare to search Li Yinfei's starship because they didn't have his approval. They just didn't want to disturb their idol.

He sent ladies to search the starship because he felt that ladies wouldn't get too enchanted by Li Yinfei. They would be able to maintain calm and search the ship carefully. Of course, this was to pacify Li Yinfei too. He didn't want to offend Li Yinfei and create trouble for Mai'er Fa.

At that moment, Miss Seven was sitting on her sofa and frowning. She seemed worried.

One of her maids rushed into her room and shouted, "Young miss, Mailer Fa requested to search the starship. Grandfather He is blocking them. He asked me to inform you."

"They're finally here." Miss Seven's eyes turned firm.

"Nuo'er, inform Miss Li. We'll go over and take a look together," Miss Seven ordered her maid.

"Yes, young miss." Elder Sister Nuo hurriedly replied.

'I hope Elder Sister Li will be useful!' Miss Seven looked at the door of her closet. Then, she got up and left. The maids standing beside her followed her.

Everyone in the living room had left. The door of the closet suddenly opened silently. Two people walked out.

One had a pale face and an evil smile while the other had a cold gaze and a serious expression.

"If your sister is unable to stop those people, we'll leave. We'll run as far as we can," Mu Chaoran said softly. He was injured heavily so he didn't manage to recover much even though he rested for a period of time. He didn't want to implicate Tang Yingying but she insisted to protect them until the end.

"Okay." Tang Ningyu replied immediately. They came to find Tang Yingying because they had no choice. Mu Chaoran was in a dire state. He must undergo treatment soon. Their identity was exposed so the only person who could help them was Tang Yingying.

"Remember, no matter what happens, you can abandon me if you can leave," Mu Chaoran continued. With him around, both of them wouldn't be able to escape.

"Okay," Tang Ningyu replied calmly. He was not cold-blooded. He just knew what was best for them.

Mu Chaoran smiled. "Did I ever tell you that I'm happy to be your comrade?" The person he cursed in the past had become his trustworthy comrade now. Mu Chaoran never expected this to happen.

Tang Ningyu replied indifferently, "It's not too late to tell me now. I'm happy too!" He never knew that he had a shadow. However, he felt fortunate that he had one. It allowed him to feel secure.

Tang Yingying was nervous as she stood in the lobby of the starship. However, she maintained a calm look on her face.

At that moment, Li Yinfei walked over slowly with a gentle smile on her face. She nodded at Miss Seven. She looked like a fairy when she nodded.

Tang Yingying exclaimed in her heart. During this period of time, Elder Sister Li seemed to have become a real goddess. In front of Elder Sister Li, she felt embarrassed. This was a feeling she never had when they interacted in the past.

She pushed this thought away quickly. This was not the time to be envious of her Elder Sister Li. She must think of a way to let her Elder Sister Li stop the search by the people from Mailer Fa.

Tang Yingying felt slightly guilty. To protect her family members, she could only use Elder Sister Li. Tang Yingying told herself that she would treat Li Yinfei better in the future.

Tang Yingying wanted to grab Li Yinfei's arm but Li Yinfei suddenly smiled and asked, "Sister, why are you looking for me?"

Tang Yingying was mesmerized by the smile. Even as a lady, she couldn't help but get stunned by her Elder Sister Li. She forgot her plan and exclaimed, "Elder Sister Li, your smile is so beautiful!"

"When did you become so sweet?" Li Yinfei teased her, "Tell me, why did you ask me to come down?"

"It's like this…" Tang Yingying told Li Yinfei what was going to happen. Li Yinfei's face turned cold. "I see. Let's go down and see what they want to do."

Li Yinfei and Tang Yingying went down to the entrance of the starship. They saw Captain Tang confronting the people from Mailer Fa. The atmosphere seemed a little tense.

Chapter 1040 Listen To Me!

The people heard the commotion behind them and turned around. Tang He saw Miss Seven and he hurried over. "Miss Seven, the people from Mailer Fa want to search our starship. We can't let them in. What should we do now?"

As the prominent Beitang family, they didn't want outsiders to intrude in their territory. However, they were on a foreign planet now. They had to consider the consequences of not cooperating with the other party.

"Elder Sister Li, look at them. How unreasonable! They're looking down on you! Hmph," Tang Yingying said angrily, trying to incite anger in Li Yinfei.

Li Yinfei smiled at Tang Yingying's act. Tang Yingying looked at Li Yinfei petulantly. She seemed to be telling her that she was sincere.

"Miss Li, Mai'er Fa has a tighter security policy due to the terrorist attack a week ago. We're inspecting all the starships in the port. This is to ensure your safety too. Please understand." The people from Mai'er Fa saw Li Yinfei and they hurriedly explained to her sincerely.

"I understand. You're working hard for the past few days." Li Yinfei wasn't angry. Instead, she appeared to be very understanding. The people from Mai'er Fa felt comforted. They felt that their idol was a reasonable person.

Tang Yingying's expression dimmed. Was she planning to let them in because this starship didn't belong to her?

Li Yinfei continued, "But this is not my starship. It belongs to my best friend, Miss Tang. I think that Mai'er Fa should respect the opinion of their guests. If the guests feel that there's nothing wrong, they should be responsible for their decision." Li Yinfei appeared apologetic. She looked at the people from Mailer Fa to show that she couldn't make a decision. Tang Yingying's expression got better.

"Grandpa He, tell them how safe our starship is." Tang Yingying raised her chin arrogantly and ordered Tang He.

"Yes, young miss!" Tang He appeared respectful towards Tang Yingying. He straightened his back and said, "The mainframe of this starship is very advanced. It has the ability to identify faces so it won't allow any outsiders to enter the starship. There will never be any intruders on our ship." He looked at Li Yinfei and continued, "Miss Li said that we should be responsible for our actions, and we will. There's no need for you to worry."

The people from Mailer Fa were angered when they heard that the owners of this starship didn't allow them to search the ship. The leader of the search them coldly said, "I'm sorry. We received an order to search all suspicious starships. Your starship is on the list too."

The workers of the Tang family's starship glared at the people from Mailer Fa angrily. The two domain realm masters secretly activated their domain energy and protected Tang Yingying. They were guarding against any sudden attacks from the other party.

The atmosphere got tense again. Tang Yingying shouted angrily, "Mailer Fa had always been a free planet. It's all a lie! Lie! You're as bad as a monarchy! I must reveal this dark side…"

Li Yinfei frowned when she saw this. Her gaze was sad. She sighed loudly.

The people from Mailer Fa felt their hearts stopping when Li Yinfei sighed sadly. They felt that they were the evil people. How could they make their goddess sad? The leader softened his tone and said, "We don't want to force you. However, we received an order from our superiors. We must follow the order given. If not, we won't be able to answer to our superiors."

Li Yinfei looked silently at the people from Mailer Fa with a worried gaze. The people from Mai'er Fa felt their hearts ache. Goosebumps appeared on their bodies. 'Goddess, stop looking at us like that. We can't handle it anymore.'

Some people who were weaker wills lowered their heads. They didn't dare to look at Li Yinfei anymore. Their superiors ordered them to search the starship so they had no choice but to do so. But, they didn't want to trouble their goddess and leave a bad impression on her.

"Cough." Li Yinfei sighed again. She said softly, "I believe that Sister Tang's starship is safe. I know that this is your job too. What a dilemma."

The people from Mailer Fa heaved a sigh of relief when they knew that their goddess understood their difficulty.

Li Yinfei turned and looked at Tang Yingying. She persuaded her lightly, "Sister, if you don't let them search, there might be bad consequences."

"This is my starship. What right do they have to search my starship?" Tang Yingying was stubborn. She wanted to maintain the dignity of her family.

"Sister, listen to me." Li Yinfei suddenly raised her voice. Li Yinfei had always been gentle and kind. Hence, when she suddenly raised her voice in anger, Tang Yingying regained her

senses.

"I'm sorry, I was too impulsive. Please say what you were going to say,�� Tang Yingying said dejectedly.

"I know that you're angry but we should try to make peace with people whenever we go out." Li Yinfei said calmly, "If you're okay, let me handle this matter. I won't let you suffer."

She emphasized the word 'won't'.

Tang Yingying looked at Li Yinfei intently. She saw the calmness in Li Yinfei's eyes. Tang Yingying nodded slowly. "Okay, Elder Sister Li, I trust you! I'll let you handle everything."

Li Yinfei smiled. "Thank you, little sister."

She turned around and walked towards the people from Mailer Fa. She said, "I'm sure you saw Miss Tang's attitude. She's willing to make things easy for you. However, you must promise me one thing. If not, I can't answer to Sister Tang."

The people Mai'er Fa saw how Li Yinfei persuaded Tang Yingying. They knew that Li Yinfei was the one who helped them to get the chance to search the ship. Hence, when they heard this, the leader said hurriedly, "Please say it. If we can do it, we'll do it."

"There are some private areas. I hope that you won't enter those places," Li Yinfei said.

The leader appeared hesitant when he heard this. "Miss Li, we must search all the rooms."

"Elder sister, they…" Tang Yingying shouted angrily.

Li Yinfei turned around and raised her hand. Tang Yingying pouted and stopped talking. She was still furious so she glared at the people from Mai'er Fa. The people from Mailer Fa looked at her expression and felt a little guilty.
