Just as Ling Lan was about to be devoured by the energy, her eyes glimmered brightly as she decided to not use defensive techniques. Instead, she chose to use the short whip in her hand. An afterimage of a silver long whip appeared in the air, screeching continuously as if it was ripping the air apart, before snaking towards Ai Liang’s head.

“He going for mutual destruction?!” Song Yiqing was dumbstruck. It was clear that Ling Lan wasn’t cornered, and could easily block and find another opportunity to attack. ‘Why is he being so reckless about going for an attack that will not benefit either side?’

All those who watched couldn’t understand, but only Ai Liang’s expression was filled with shock. He suddenly stopped his attack and chose to dodge instead.

Everyone didn’t understand the reason behind Ling Lan aggressiveness. At that moment, everyone also couldn’t understand the reason behind Ai Liang’s actions as well. If he had taken Ling Lan’s attack head on, Ai Liang’s overwhelming energy would definitely have caused great injury to a surprised Ling Lan. If Ai Liang would have taken the battle, he would have been victorious, so why did Ai Liang chose to dodge instead?

“I see!” Ling Lan’s expression lightened up. She was lucky that she had randomly said that they should use their strongest single-target attack to determine the winner. This made her accidentally seal away her opponent’s strongest domain technique. Otherwise, she didn’t even know what the outcome of the battle would have been. Although Ling Lan was confident that no matter how strange her opponent’s domain concept was, she would still be able to win the battle. However, Ling Lan didn’t want to use all her trump cards. After all, it was still a good thing if she could keep a few of them a secret.

Ling Lan did not show any mercy and continued to wave her whip. Then, the silver whip created many afterimages which cornered Ai Liang, forcing him to stay in place.

“Senior Captain Ai made a terrible decision just now. He went from being on the offensive to defending passively.” The mecha team team leader standing beside Song Yiqing saw this scene sighed.

“Maybe he had no choice but to do so.” Song Yiqing thought more deeply about the situation than the team leader. Ai Liang had always been loyal to Song Yiqing’s grandfather, so Ai Liang would definitely know about the gains that Song Yongzheng would would get if he took down Ling Lan.

In reality, it was just as Song Yiqing had thought, it wasn’t because Ai Liang didn’t want to take down Ling Lan. It was just that his domain concept made him unable to follow up with his attack. If he did follow up with the attack, Ling Lan would discover the truth behind his trick which would cause him to be at a disadvantage for the fight after that.

“Damn it.” Ai Liang didn’t know if Ling Lan’s way of handling his attack was by luck or was because she had already seen through his domain concept. If it was the latter, then he was in trouble.

Ai Liang knew that he couldn’t continue like this, shown by his expression beginning to show some anxiousness. Maybe it was because he was not fully concentrated, his speed actually slowed down a small bit which caused Ling Lan’s whip to strike his body...

“Bang!” After the whip strike his body, it didn’t stop as it continued on, only stopping after it ruthless smashed onto the ground. The concrete on the ground instantly split apart, causing countless rocks and debris to fly everywhere, turning the originally foggy area to become foggier.

When Song Yiqing saw this, his heart jumped. ‘Did Ai Liang lose?’

After the dust finally settled, everyone looked towards the location the whip had smashed onto. There was no one there. It was clear that Ai Liang had dodged Ling Lan’s whip. However, Ling Lan was still standing there with her whip still in hand. ‘Then, where is Ai Liang?’ Everyone thought.

Suddenly, a fist appeared behind Ling Lan, and it ruthlessly went for the back of her heart.

Song Yiqing had a hint of joy in his eyes. Once Ai Liang hit Ling Lan, the battle would be easily won.

Right as the fist was about to puncture Ling Lan’s heart... puncture? The joy in Song Yiqing’s expression instantly froze. Ai Liang, after throwing his punch, had a huge change in his expression. His feet instantly sprang up and he quickly moved backwards.

Ling Lan, who was standing there with a hole in her body, suddenly turned into a cloud of fog, then dissipating away like it was never there in the first place. The ‘Ling Lan’ who was originally attacking Ai Liang was actually a fog clone created by Ling Lan.

“Ling Lan is a fog element domain realm master.” Although Song Yiqing wasn’t a domain realm master, he was still taught about the knowledge regarding them by his instructors from his family. Seeing this scene, he had guessed Ling Lan’s domain element.

“The fog element doesn’t belong to the strong offensive type. It is more useful for espionage and assassinations. I was actually fooled by Ling Lan from the very beginning.” Ai Liang, who was constantly battered by a clone, was now regretting his decision to back off. From the start of the fight, Ling Lan had constantly been on the offense which made Ai Liang think that Ling Lan’s domain concept were of the strong offensive type. Thus, he didn’t dare to go against Ling Lan head on and only carefully used his own domain techniques to lure his opponent elsewhere. Although this strategy was very suitable for those with offensive based domains, this strategy made him unable to discover that Ling Lan was the same as him, a paper tiger.

Right at that moment, within the dense fog, a sliver of silver silk that was difficult to see with the naked eye, suddenly appeared. Before Ai Liang could realize it, it had already wrapped around his leg.

“Not good!” Ai Liang used his hands as swords and slashed towards the silver silk.

“Screech!” Suddenly, a sound like nails scratching on a chalkboard rang beside everyone’s ears. Ai Liang was originally planning on slicing the silk with his hands, but he was suddenly stopped by a strong force. There were actually two more silver silk-like wires wrapped arpound both of his wrists. Another two of those suddenly came to his sight and wrapped around his ankles before hanging him up in mid-air.

From afar, the fog suddenly condensed. Ling Lan, who wore her blue and white uniform, with her cape, had appeared once again. At that moment, her long jade-like fingers was in front of her chest with each having a string of silver silk wrapped around them.

“The sky, look...” One officer whose eyes were sharp, pointed towards the top of street light and began to shout in surprise.

Everyone looked towards the direction he pointed towards. On top of the street light’s highest point, there was silk threads that could barely be seen by the naked eye wrapped around it. Then with the help of street light illuminating the area, it allowed everyone to see more of the glistening silk threads... After discovering this, everyone looked again. They discovered that the place where Ai Liang and Ling Lan had been battling was an empty street, but was now filled with countless silk threads. These threads wrapped around each other, along with the street lamps and structures which created a threaded world. If someone was to step in accidentally, they would be minced into little bits by the countless threads.

Everyone couldn’t help but take a deep cold breath. A chill rose up from their feet to their heads. Some people even hallucinated that their flesh was slowly being peeled off by the threads, making them fear for their lives.

Ling Lan’s fingers moved a little, causing another painful screeching sound. Ai Liang was biting his lip in the center of it all, enduring the pain of being shredded apart. This scene made Song Yiqing’s expression go from pale to completely white.

“It looks like I win this bet.” Ling Lan turned around a looked at Song Yiqing, waiting for Song Yiqing’s answer.

Song Yiqing looks like he was in a state where his soul had left his body, before he finally bit his lip and said through his gritted teeth, “I give up, you win!”

Hearing this, Ling Lan’s fingers on her left hand trembled and the silk threads wrapped around Ai Liang suddenly loosened up. Then, the threads turned into fog and disappeared without a trace.

After regaining his freedom, Ai Liang turned his body before landing face first on the ground.
