As Xie Yi was walking out of the paper dome, he suavely flicked his wrist and a bolt of lightning quickly flew towards his opponent, giving him no time to evade. He got struck by the lightning bolt and his body slowly crumbled, forming a neat pile of ashes where he once stood for the wind to eventually blow away.
Luo Lang jumped up excitedly when he saw Xie Yi. Before he could walk a few steps forward, he saw Xie Yi smiling widely with black smoke coming out through the gaps of his teeth. Just as he was about to say something, Xie Yi patted his chest and said, "Phew, I almost died!"
Luo Lang was speechless. What is this Xie Yi up to?
Xie Yi saw Luo Lang staring at him intently so he quickly retracted his domain. After the lightning around him disappeared, Luo Lang discovered that Xie Yi was covered entirely in soot and his hair was reaching for the skies. This was an entirely different image compared to the suave moment when he had just now.
"What on earth happened?" Luo Lang asked curiously. In the past, Xie Yi didn't fully awaken his powers so, whenever he used his innate talent, both he and his opponent would get injured from the backlash. It was like dealing 80 points of damage to himself to inflict 100 points of damage to his enemy. 'Did he fail to advance to the domain stage? But that doesn't make sense. If he didn't advance to the domain stage, how could he kill his opponent that easily? Is there a problem with his Domain? Is it the same problem as last time?'"I only have a half domain," Xie Yi replied helplessly. He was happy that he managed to advance to the domain stage but he also unhappy that he didn't manage to do it perfectly. This had to do with his bloodline but he didn't know how to explain it without exposing his secrets.
"What?" Luo Lang asked with a hint of confusion. Their boss told them that there were three domains they could get if they were to advance to the domain stage. The three domains they could get were a fake domain, a pseudo domain, and a real domain. Their boss wanted them to get the real domain and become a real domain realm master. But, he never said anything about a half domain.
"A half domain is not a fake domain… however, it is not a real domain… yet, it is different from a pseudo domain…" Xie Yi didn't know what to say.
"Talk human language," Luo Lang replied angrily.
"It means that the other half of my domain is on my other personality," Xie Yi finally answered honestly.
"Your dark character!" Luo Lang was shocked.
"How do you know that it is my dark character?" Xie Yi raised his eyebrows. There was suddenly a cold aura around him.Luo Lang waved his hand nonchalantly. "No matter who comes out, the one not coming out is the dark character, right?"
Xie Yi smiled brightly again. His teeth seemed exceptionally bright when compared with his charred look. "I got the Yang lightning and he got the Yin lightning. However, I'm the only one who advanced to the domain stage. Therefore, there is currently an imbalance of power between the Yang and Yin lightning so I injured myself. That year when I was constantly injuring myself when I used my power, it was also due to this reason."
"He is not willing to cooperate?" Luo Lang was puzzled. Why aren't they working together?
"No, we are both willing to help each other. However, we have two conscious so we can't work cohesively." Would they only be able to solve the problem if one of them disappeared? Xie Yi frowned. This was not what they wanted.
Luo Lang understood Xie Yi's thoughts but he couldn't do anything to help. "Why don't we ask Boss later? He might be able to find a solution."
Xie Yi sighed. "That's my plan too. If I can't solve the problem, I may never be able to maintain my domain for an extended period of time. If I try to force it, I might as well be burnt to death." Luckily, his opponent was a paper domain realm master, and lightning restricts paper. If it was some other domain realm master, he might not be able to kill him that easily.
As Xie Yi and Luo Lang were speaking to each other, loud explosions were constantly heard in the background, signifying the battles on the other sides finally coming to an end. The battles were able to end so quickly because Ling Lan came and ended it for them as her presence alone caused the opponent to give up and want to escape. However, when fighting with someone on par with you, any loss of attention could lead to dire consequences. The moment these people wanted to escape, openings appeared in their moves. The domain realm masters who Ling Xiao sent were all experiences domain realm masters who had been in the domain stage for many years so they would not give up on this opportunity. Hence the instant the openings showed themselves, they quickly used their most powerful technique and killed their opponent.
The 23rd division didn't have many people so they couldn't just throw caution to the wind, and just keep these domain realm masters as prisoners. Even if they could seal off their opponent's domain, they wouldn't dare to take them as their prisoner. Thus, they could only kill them. If the seal broke, all their efforts before this would be wasted. Plus, no one knew if their opponents had a way to send information out. If the organization knew of their position, they might be ambushed and become prisoners instead.
Ling Lan knew this so she just silently watched the massacre. In the end, only the Boss of the headquarters, who was still hiding in the manor, was left. However, the Boss was a decisive person. When he knew all hopes were lost, he decided to commit suicide, keeping the secrets of the organization to himself. Was this because of his loyalty or was he afraid of the organization?
Ling Lan, however, was not surprised by his actions. When she decided to block their path of retreat, she had already predicted this ending. As the boss of the headquarters, when he was unable to protect the safety of the headquarters and the results of the experiments, he would have to commit suicide to compensate for his inability. If the boss didn't commit suicide, then that would be surprising.
They searched through the entire manor and confirmed that there were no more enemies hiding in the manor. Ling Lan contacted He Xuyang to ask him to come over. This time, however, He Xuyang didn't just bring domain realm masters. He also brought a full transport logistics team. When he saw the resources starting to roll out from the manor, his eyes lit up with credits flashing his eyes.
Very soon, He Xuyang took away all the resources in the manor. If he could, he wanted to take the manor away too. Luckily, he maintained his composure and knew he must not embarrass the 23rd division's name, so he controlled his urge and allowed the manor to remain as it was. In actuality, there was nothing left inside.
Ling Lan saw that everyone seemed elated except Xie Yi. She said, "You can all go back and stabilize your domain, especially Lanfeng. Your domain is in a fragile state so you must be careful. As for Xie Yi…"
Xie Yi immediately looked at Ling Lan hopefully. He seemed like a hopeless little puppy who had finally seen its owner. Ling Lan wanted to pinch his cheeks so much. Sob, why are there so many cuties in her team? She really couldn't maintain her cold persona anymore.
Ling Lan coughed and continued indifferently, "Wait for me to go back, I'll try to solve it."
"Yes, Boss!" Xie Yi shouted excitedly. If their Boss decided to do something, he would be able to do everything.
'I hope so!' The other Xie Yi pouted. He was not a brainless fan!
