“The time now is 5 pm. Aoqi has 28 hours in a day. This means that the sky would only be so dark after 10 pm. There was no noise made just now. Hence, this darkness is not caused by the doors and windows closing. This shouldn't be happening at this time.” A cold gaze appeared in Ling Lan's eyes. “There is only one possibility. This is my opponent's domain ability!”

“What kind of ability can allow him to remove all sources of light? Am I in an illusion?”

Ling Lan remained calm. She thought through all the possibilities she could think of. When the lights went out, she protected herself with her ice element. She needed to be cautious as she didn't know what domain ability her opponent had. With the ice walls around her, she would be able to easily notice other elements if her opponent attacked her. The ice walls could act as her protective s.h.i.+eld too.

Undoubtedly, the decision that Ling Lan made might not be the best but it was the safest.

Besides protecting herself, Ling Lan used her spiritual power to fill the atrium. In order to prevent her opponent from noticing her spiritual power, she only used a small portion of it. Very soon, the entire atrium was filled with her spiritual power.

However, Ling Lan didn't find her target. Miluo Duoba seemed to have disappeared into thin air. There was no trace of him.

“As expected of the Hermit. When he is hiding, there is no evidence left behind. It is perfect.” Ling Lan finally understood how powerful domain masters with t.i.tles were. She even exclaimed secretly that the t.i.tle fitted the domain master perfectly.

Ling Lan also realized a weakness of her Profound Insight. When her vision was blocked, the Profound Insight would lose its power. She couldn't use it at this moment.

“Is it sealed? Such a pity.” Ling Lan felt depressed. She wanted to use her Profound Insight to find some clues. Seemed like she needed to think of another way.

Suddenly, a cold light appeared in the darkness. A s.h.i.+ny dagger popped out.

The dagger was very bright. It almost blinded Ling Lan.

The dagger was fast too. Ling Lan couldn't keep up with it.

Ling Lan watched as the dagger sliced through her ice walls as though it was slicing beancurd.

The dagger was so fast, Ling Lan was unable to dodge it. It stabbed towards into her abdomen.

Ling Lan narrowed her eyes. She grabbed the bright dagger quickly.

The dagger broke in Ling Lan's hands. Ling Lan curled up her left hand like a claw and aimed it furiously at the dagger.

The dagger retreated quickly. It flashed through the darkness and disappeared once again before Ling Lan caught it.

“d.a.m.n it. It ran away.” Ling Lan gritted her teeth. She took out the other half of the dagger which was in her abdomen. Blood flowed out of the wound and dripped onto the ground.

Ling Lan became even more vigilant. Her ice element got stronger and the ice walls became thicker. It was more than one meter thick now. If the Hermit wanted to sneak attack her again, he would be unable to break through the wall anymore.

It was extremely quiet. Ling Lan could only hear her own breathing. She didn't know when her opponent would attack again. Her heart started beating faster.

Very soon, Ling Lan realized something terrible. Her wound was unable to heal. Fresh blood kept oozing out of her wound. Ling Lan knew that there must be some agent applied on the dagger which prevented her wound from healing.

Ling Lan realized the situation she was in. If she couldn't end this battle soon, she would die from bleeding.

Ling Lan quickly used her ice blockade to freeze her wound. The blood seemed to have stopped. But, Ling Lan knew that her blood was still dripping out. She just made the wound smaller. Her opponent's agent was too powerful.

However, this bought her more time. Ling Lan waited patiently for her opponent to act again. As long as she caught her opponent, her crisis would be over.

The Hermit was more patient than she expected. He didn't attack her for a long time. More and more blood was flowing out of her wound. No matter how much ice blockade she used, it was useless.

Ling Lan started to get agitated. Her breathing got heavier.

At this moment, the bright dagger appeared again.

“Explode!” Ling Lan suddenly shouted. Her spiritual power exploded. This was the spiritual blast of her spiritual power. After many practices, Ling Lan was able to explode her spiritual power at the same time. She didn't need to split it into four timings anymore. There was no backlash now too.

Ling Lan gave a new name for her spiritual blast. It had a unique and beautiful name——Sky Full Of Stars!

Sky Full Of Stars was extremely powerful. Ling Lan had released more than 50 cords of spiritual power. The explosion of these spiritual cords caused the entire atrium to shake…

“Boom!” The dark image in front of her shattered as though it was made of gla.s.s. Numerous gla.s.s shards appeared in her eyes. Light entered her vision again. It was not dark anymore. This was how bright 5 pm should be.

Around 10 meters away, Miluo Duoba was standing with a pale face. Blood dripped down from the corner of his mouth. He didn't expect his domain to be destroyed so quickly. The backlash from the destruction injured him.

“d.a.m.n it!” Miluo Duoba couldn't accept this result. As he cursed at Ling Lan, numerous arrows rained down on her.

A three meters thick ice s.h.i.+eld appeared in front of Ling Lan. The arrows struck the ice s.h.i.+eld and bounced onto the ground. They were unable to break through the ice s.h.i.+eld. Suddenly, an arrow on fire was shot at the ice s.h.i.+eld. The fire on the arrow instantly melted the ice s.h.i.+eld and a hole appeared. The fire arrow pa.s.sed through the hole and struck Ling Lan.

The fire arrow melted the ice really quickly. Ling Lan had no time to react.

The fire arrow pierced through her abdomen. She felt something hot pa.s.sing through her abdomen. The fire arrow pierced itself into the wall behind Ling Lan. The fire slowly died down. Ling Lan finally managed to see that it a black arrow made from some unknown material.
