It had to be said that under the harsh training from Ling Lan, the domain realm masters in Little Four Mercenary Team were more powerful than the average domain realm masters. Besides Zhao Jun who was new to the domain stage, the other five people finished off their opponents in no time.
Liu Furong controlled his plants and sucked out all the life force from his opponents. His opponents became green men with plants growing all around their bodies.
He thought that he was the fastest to finish off his opponents but when he retracted his domain, he realized that Li Lanfeng, Luo Lang, Qi Long, and Xie Yi had already ended their battle and were watching Zhao Jun's first match using his domain. They were pointing at him and discussing something.
Liu Aihua and Qiao Xing sat obediently on the sidelines. Liu Aihua was completely relaxed now. When she noticed that her father had finished his fight, she waved at him happily. Qiao Xing, on the other hand, appeared tense. However, he was much calmer than before. He would look at Qi Long and others occasionally with admiration and puzzlement.
Liu Furong came beside Liu Aihua and patted her head lovingly. Then, he looked at everyone and asked, "How is Zhao Jun doing?""Not bad but, he made some low-level mistakes," Xie Yi smiled and replied.
"You sound as though you never made mistakes during your first fight." Luo Lang rolled his eyes at Xie Yi. This was a scene that all of them had participated in before. However, their first opponents were at the pseudo domain stage and Boss was beside them so they didn't need to be as stressed as Zhao Jun. They were able to get the hang of their domains without worry and even managed to find their first domain technique.
"If he can't find his domain technique, Zhao Jun will have a really stalled out fight." Qi Long saw how much pressure Zhao Jun was under so he was worried for him.
"However, he spent quite a while at the Qi-Jin stage so it shouldn't take him too long to find his technique." Li Lanfeng was confident in Zhao Jun.
The four people were watching at the side but their domains were all activated. If it ever came to a time when Zhao Jun couldn't handle his opponent, they would step in and help him.
Liu Furong felt sad when he saw how hard Zhao Jun was fighting while enduring so many hits to his body and face. He remembered the time when he first used his domain energy in a fight. Although his regiment commander was right beside him, it was safe to say that fight was one of the most dangerous fights he took part in. He was almost killed by his opponent and was tortured until he was half-dead but his regiment commander still didn't do anything to help him. He just stood at the side and watched him heartlessly.
Ye Shao finally killed his opponent after reaching his limits so his domain collapsed the instant he finished his battle. He sat on the ground and panted heavily. If his opponent's domain was just a little more powerful, he would have lost this match.He looked at his side and Dibi Luya was still fighting. Ye Shao's element was metal so his offensive power was greater than his opponent whose element was water. Hence, he finished his fight quicker than Dibi Luya. Dibi Luya however, was quite unlucky. He met an earth element domain realm master whose defenses were strong and unrelenting, resulting in a battle of attrition. The person who would win would be the one who was able to last longer.
Ye Shao wanted to check up on the conditions of the members from the Little Four Mercenary Team. But, he just saw five of them standing at the side and chatting among themselves casually. They didn't seem tired at all. Ye Shao was astounded. He exhausted all his energy just to barely defeat his opponent. Dibi Luya was probably in the same situation as him. He didn't believe that they somehow managed to face the two most powerful domain realm masters among this bunch of domain realm master. The only explanation was, these people in front of him chatting were much more powerful than Dibi Luya and him.
These were a bunch of titled domain realm formidable warriors. As their leader, Jiang Hui… If he dared to stay back to fight Frost Monarch, it meant that he was near the imperial stage, right?
Imperial stage domain expert! There were only nine people who had managed to advance to the imperial stage in the human world. Of course, there might be some powerful people who hid their identities. Was Jiang Hui going to join them soon?
Ye Shao started to respect the young Jiang Hui.
At this moment, Ling Lan had asked Little Four to find where Hades and Ninja were hiding. She then told Light and Dark Dragon where Ninja was and took off to look for Hades herself.
Compared to Ninja, Hades was more of a threat to their mercenary team. Hence, Ling Lan chose him as her target.
The moment Hades returned to his base, the base was already in a mess. He grabbed one of his subordinates and asked fiercely, "What happened here?"
"Hades, there was a rumour going about saying that Frost Monarch is dead so everyone is running away," his subordinate said anxiously.
"Damn it!" Hades got hurt by Ling Lan so he was burning with anger already. When he heard what this person said, his anger exploded and he squeezed the person to death. The person didn't even have the time to scream before he died.
"How dare you betray me. Die!" Hades got enraged when he saw his subordinates running away. He lost his senses and started wantonly killing his subordinates.
Suddenly, he felt something and his expression changed to one of fear. The crazy killing intent quickly disappeared. He couldn't care less about his subordinates anymore as he quickly rushed into the depth of his base.
Ling Lan landed on the place where Hades was at just moments ago. She saw the sea of blood left behind by Hades and frowned. She then chased after Hades without hesitation. She mustn't let such a crazy person escape, as he would be a huge threat to her in the future.
Hades escaped into the depth of his base. After that, he activated the defensive system of his base before feeling more relaxed.
He took a deep breath and calmed himself down. Then, he entered the hall in front of him.
There were three people sitting in the hall. One of them was a young man with an earnest smile. There was also an elder with black hair and a youthful face, lastly there was a muscular man with radiant skin.
Hades flew into the hall and sat on the host's seat. He looked at the three people in the hall and said, "I agree to your proposal. However, there is one condition. You must help me to kill the person who is chasing me."
The young man smiled and shook his head. "Hades, times are different now. What we said before is not relevant now." He looked at Hades's chopped leg.
"You!" Hades was indignant. These people were taking advantage of his plight. However, he thought of Ling Lan and controlled his anger. Without Frost Monarch, he needed these three people's help if he wanted to kill Ling Lan.
"What is your criteria then?" Where there is life there is hope. Hades took a deep breath before asking.
"Hades Palace will merge with Soul Society unconditionally," the young man said calmly.
"Damn it!" Hades slammed his hands on the coffee table beside him and the coffee table shattered into pieces.
