The atmosphere between Lord Li and Ling Lan turned viscous. It seemed a huge fight was imminent.
Suddenly, both of them jumped up from their thrones simultaneously. A long whip appeared in both of their right hands and they slashed the whip at each other viciously.
One red and one blue. Two long whips with two different colours cracked at each other forcefully in mid-air.
“Smack!”
A loud ear-piercing sound was let out. Sparks of two different colours could be seen as the whips slashed along each other. Seeing that their initial attack was a failure, the owners of the two whips flew back and landed on the ground.Ling Lan twisted her waist and her neck to let out some tension in her body. She flicked her right wrist and the blue whip cracked in the air once again, rushing towards Lord Li ferociously.
Seeing the vicious whip, Lord Li just snorted in derision. He shook his wrist and his red long whip welcomed the blue whip.
“Smack!”
This time, an even higher pitch sound pierced their ear drums, and more sparks filled up their vision.
Ling Lan stretched her right hand out and caught the long whip that bounced back right in her hand. Then, she did a spin, spinning her red robe as well. She did this spin to counteract the force coming back from the whip.
Lord Li grabbed a hold of his whip too, but he chose to take two steps back to eliminate the force.
Ling Lan stabilised her body and looked at Lord Li in a composed manner. She said, “Maybe that can make you change your mind.”A red light flashed past Lord Li’s face. His gaze turned sharp and killing intent exploded from his body.
In the face of the overwhelming killing intent, Ling Lan’s expression still remained indifferent. She already had facial paralysis for more than 20 years of her life. If Lord Li was planning to affect her with that little amount of killing intent… well, it would be quite difficult.
Lord Li frowned when he saw Ling Lan’s ever-unchanged expression and gaze. The next second, the killing intent disappeared.
“You want to continue this farce?” Lord Li asked coldly.
“That’ll depend on your decision. If you want to fight…” Ling Lan’s gaze turned sharp and icy. “I’ll fight.”
She spoke firmly without any hesitation. Fighting spirit exuded from her body in an instant. This showed her resolution.
A disheveled look appeared on Lord Li’s face for a split second. He didn’t expect that Lan Xiao would disregard his own life and take such a huge risk just to get his goods back.
How unlucky! Lord Li cursed. He had no choice but to soften his attitude. “What do you want?”
“What you stole from me…” Ling Lan said slowly.
When he heard this, Lord Li felt that he could still accept it. Just as he was about to agree, he heard the rest of Ling Lan’s sentence. “But five times more.”
“You’re dreaming!” Lord Li shouted angrily.
“If you don’t agree, I don’t mind. I really do want to know how strong Lord Li of the 13 Lords is.” Ling Lan lifted her left hand and an ice tri-edge trench knife slowly formed in the air. Ling Lan wrapped her fingers around the icy handle.
As for the blue long whip in her right hand, the flowing water started condensing before turning into a transparent Tangdao with a cold aura.
The chilling sword caused Lord Li’s face to twitch. He clenched the fire elemental whip in his hand.
Should he fight or not?
There were only two paths in front of Lord Li.
If he didn’t fight, he needed to give the other party five times the goods he snatched. This young and hot-blooded brat would definitely not give in if he didn’t satisfy his criteria. If he chose to fight, there was a possibility of death. No one could know what the end result of an imperial realm battle could be.
“Two times.” Lord Li gritted his teeth. He decided to take a step back but he would never agree to repay five times the amount.
Ling Lan looked at him indifferently. Obviously, she wasn’t satisfied with the number Lord Li gave.
