Xu Wanying's response was quite simple. His figure suddenly swayed, and another Xu Wanying appeared beside him. Then, the two of them moved and split in different directions, running away.
The Lich obviously did not expect that Xu Wanying had such a trick up his sleeve. When he was slightly stunned, one Xu Wanying disappeared again, while the other Xu Wanying struck down with an axe onto the Lich's skeletal domain.
Although Xu Wanying's two attacks did not break the Lich's domain, they still caused some damage. Berry's hair was not simple either; her mental attack was transmitted through her hair, and the succubus's mental attack was well-known throughout the demon realm. Although Berry had not yet comprehended domain abilities, her current mental attack was not to be underestimated, as it was a divine-level mental attack.
A divine-level expert who has comprehended a domain is much stronger than one who has not, but there are limits to that. The Lich could only deal with both Xu Wanying and Berry at the same time at his peak strength, and after his battle with Zhao Hai, he had already been injured. His current power was not comparable to his peak state, making it impossible for him to easily deal with Berry and Xu Wanying.
Moreover, Berry and Xu Wanying were somewhat different from Zhao Hai. Zhao Hai's previous combat style involved using undead beings for warfare, so he rarely engaged in real close combat. Thus, his battle experience was not particularly rich. However, Xu Wanying was different. Before becoming a divine-level expert, he was an adventurer and an assassin, and he had engaged in countless battles throughout his life. His battle experience was extremely rich. When he was an adventurer, he had even killed beings that were of a higher level than himself. Although he had not comprehended a domain now, he was, in any case, of the same level as the Lich, so his battle experience was by no means lacking.
As for Berry, she was even less to be underestimated. Being born into the demon clan, every demon, regardless of their race, grew up little by little through battle. Her battle experience was considerable, but she had not yet comprehended her own domain due to her limited time as a divine-level expert.
At the beginning, the Lich indeed underestimated the attacks of Berry and Xu Wanying. In his view, they were merely two divine-level experts who had not comprehended domains—what was there to fear? But when they truly engaged, he realized his mistake. Clearly, he had forgotten that they had initially thought Zhao Hai had not comprehended a domain, yet Zhao Hai had managed to injure him.
When Berry's hair tangled in the Lich's skeletal domain, it would continuously launch mental attacks. Although this type of mental attack could not harm the Lich, it caused him great headaches.
The Lich was immune to general physical attacks, especially after reaching the divine level. However, what he feared most was this type of mental attack. Such attacks had a significant impact on the Lich; even though he had the protection of a domain, the mental attack would still affect him. He was no longer as agile in his domain as he had been during his battle with Zhao Hai.
Upon seeing this situation, the Dragon King immediately said in a deep voice, "Thorn Shadow, go help the Lich and quickly deal with those two." The assassin acknowledged and dashed towards the Lich.
Seeing Thorn Shadow leave, Zhao Hai's expression darkened. He said to the Dragon King, "You are pushing me." With that, he moved his hand, and a spatial rift suddenly appeared in front of the assassin. A vine shot out from the rift and entangled itself in the assassin's domain, then the vines violently retracted, pulling the assassin's domain into another space.
The assassin was taken aback; he had no idea where that space was and naturally did not dare to enter. He saw the assassin's domain flicker as he tried to break free from the vines but failed. The assassin was even more shocked when he suddenly realized that it seemed impossible for him to escape from those vines. Gritting his teeth, the assassin suddenly retracted his domain, and as the vines did not react in time, he flew out from among them.
