“Imperial stage. Who are you?” Lord Gen stared intently at the young man whose expression was so frosty that he didn't seem human.

Based on what he knew, the three kings of the mercenary world were at most imperial realm formidable warriors just like him. It was only because of their limited strength that they never dared to come to the Lawless Lands openly, and could resort to using devious means to involve themselves here

 There could never be two imperial realm formidable warriors in a mercenary team. If there were, the team would either be split into two, forming the 4th king's mercenary team, or the two imperial realm formidable warriors would fight over the position of king which would ultimately end when one of the parties was dead.

 Yet, Lord Gen was unable to link Lan Xiao with the White Monarch from the Rainbow Raiders, the Casanova from the Flirtatious Raiders, or King Border from Taichi Yingyang. Based on the information he had, the domain concept and age of this young man didn't align with any of the three kings of the mercenary world.

 Seeing the stunned Lord Gen, Ling Lan raised her right hand above her head, and snowing started falling heavily in the rainbow palace. Within a few seconds, a thick layer of snow densely covered the luminous tiles of the palace, hiding their glimmer.

 However, even when a snowstorm was going on, Lord Gen wasn't the least bit affected. In the area where the giant scorpion and he stood, the snow seemed to be wary of the giant scorpion's seven tails.

 “You're not from the Rainbow Raiders.” This was the only possible explanation for the events that occured before him.

 As someone who was able to climb up a mountain of bones and corpses to become a lord of the Lawless Lands, Lord Gen wasn't a dumb person who would ignore the clues of the truth right before him. In the past, he was indeed fooled by Lan Xiao's perfect disguise. However, once he noticed the facts didn't line up right, he quickly deduced the truth.

 Ling Lan didn't reply to him. However, the smile on her face told Lord Gen that his deduction was right.

 “Who are you?” Who had the guts to use the Rainbow Raiders' name to intrude the Lawless Lands? This was the first time Lord Gen felt a sense of apprehension ever since he reached the imperial stage. This was why he insisted on finding out Lan Xiao's true ident.i.ty.

 “Let's fight.” Ling Lan clenched her right fist and the snowflakes falling from the air congregated into sharp ice blades. They flew straight towards Lord Gen with deadly precision. To Ling Lan, she had to win or die trying. If she won, there was no point in telling her opponent her real ident.i.ty. if she lost, then it was even more unnecessary to say it.

 “Go!” Lord Gen waved his hand, and numerous poisonous insects crawled out from the ground. They went head on with the ice blades.

 A battle between imperial realm formidable warriors was frightening, whether it was the ice blades that could pierce through anything or the savage poisonous bugs that rose from the ground. They were both using areof-effect techniques and their domain concept energy supplementing those techniques were both very powerful. The final winner would be determined by the pureness of their domain concept energy.

 1At this aspect, Lord Gen was confident in himself. With him being at the imperial stage for so many years, his understanding of his domain concept was solid as a rock. He was sure that he wouldn't lose to a young man like Lan Xiao. Moreover, Lan Xiao was on a time limit while he was not. Hence, there was no way he would lose to Lan Xiao.

 Physical appearance could be maintained using many various techniques but aura on the other hand, would change according to his age. When someone reached the imperial stage, they would be able to detect said aura, and the aura of Lan Xiao was too youthful. He was definitely younger than 30 years old.

 No matter how talented he was, he could only enter the domain realm between 10 years old to 20 years old. Fine, for the sake of the argument, let's say that he advanced to the domain stage when he was 10 years old. That meant that he would have less than 20 years of experience in the imperial stage, right? How could he be compared with old men like them who had spent more than 50 years in the imperial stage? Lord Gen believed that if they continued battling with their domain concept, he would win.

As the two energies continued trying to devour one another, blood water and ice crystals dropped from the sky. The thick layer of snow on the ground quickly got stained with blood.

 Finally, the ice blades were all destroyed and there weren't many poisonous insects left. Lord Gen snorted as he waved his hands again. Countless more poisonous insects emerged from the ground again.

 “Haha, come. Let's see how long you can last.” Lord Gen laughed arrogantly. The reason for his arrogance was for the fact that he was in his palace. In his palace, he was able to recover his lost domain energy quicker.

 The base of the 13 Lords all had this unique feature. This was why they were invincible in their territory. Even if other lords came to fight them head on, they would never beat the owner of the land.

 In response to his arrogance, Ling Lan simply smiled brightly at him. Then, her fingers started moving in a unique rhythm and soon a few rays of light appeared on her empty, fair, and smooth hand.

 Lord Gen's expression hardened when he looked at the beaming light. He could faintly see ten crystal-clear threads that extended from Lan Xiao's hands to the air in front of him.

 'Not good.' This was Lord Gen's first reaction. As Lan Xiao started twirling around his fingers, many semi-transparent lines started to glimmer in the shining line in the empty s.p.a.ce in front of him. They filled up the air densely, enclosing him in a giant dome. They were like spiderwebs that were winded around him.

 Now, Lord Gen finally understood that while Lan Xiao was directing the blades at him, he was also lining the threads around them, forming his Ultimate Blockade.

 He felt that this technique sounded a little familiar. Suddenly, he remembered that Ji Ming told him that Luo Tianhua used a similar technique when he was fighting him.

 “Hmph, do you think you can trap me with just this? You're dreaming,” Lord Gen scolded. He waved his right hand and all the poisonous insects on the ground rushed towards the threads and started biting, spitting venom, scratching, and damaging Ling Lan's Ultimate Blockade.

 Lord Gen wanted to attack Ling Lan directly but before he could do that, he must destroy this web. His poisonous bugs wouldn't be able to reach Ling Lan if the web was there.

 It could be said that from the start, Lord Gen miscalculated. He allowed Ling Lan to carry out her plan successfully. Lord Gen was like a prey in her web, and breaking the web was his only option.

Ling Lan remained calm and unconcerned when the swarming bugs came towards her. Her hands moved again. Her movements were extremely elegant. If she wasn't fighting, people would have thought that she was dancing.

 As Ling Lan's arms danced around, the semi-transparent threads in the air started dancing too. The slacken threads in the air moved along with Ling Lan's finger. The bugs that attempted to bite it failed due to its rapid movement. The threads also managed to dodge the spitted venom. Even if it accidentally touched the venom, a new thread would take over its position and merge with the broken thread.

 At this moment, Ling Lan looked like a fairy from heaven dancing elegantly in the air. Her long silver hair floated in the wind. If she still had contact with the learning s.p.a.ce, Number Four would have warm tears in her eyes as she finally saw the chance for her to come out.

 1“Divine destruction!” Following this sound, the dancing threads went taut. Layers and layers of it moved towards the domain formed by Lord Gen's giant scorpion. The threads cut into the domain from all angles.
