Ace Of Terrans

Chapter 447 Overwhelming Shura.

Shi Lang said that he would attack with the third move, and Tex put up his guard. However, the young Terran in front of him was not someone he could take as a joke. This much was clear to him during the last attack he faced.

It was called Emperor Slash, and the aura created by this attack almost made Tex present his head to the sword. But, instead, Tex ground his teeth and charged forward. It would be a shame if he backed down after looking down on his enemy. Also, Shi Lang already said that if he could last five moves. So it will be considered as a loss for the terran.

The terran was not joking. He charged head first with his sword in the back. Tex did not take the initiative to attack Shi Lang because he wanted to defend himself. The last attack had left such a shadow in his mind that the young man could not seize the initiative.

However, this was good for Shi Lang. The people from the sideline understood this much. Unity shook her head and said, "Young ones look at that carefully and tell me what you see."

Captain Tchal, the quietest person, spoke up first, "General Shi is in control of the fight. His last attack is making the opponent hesitate."

Unity nodded and said, "Go on."

Tchal nodded and said, "That last attack might have tilted the balance in favor of General Shi, but if he did not cease the chance to topple the enemy now, it would only put him at a disadvantage."

Unity and the other seniors nodded while the rest noted the situation. The intention here was to teach the people how to manipulate the enemy. This is why Unity asked someone to assess the fight. If they missed any points, she would cover them. First, however, Captain Tchal had summarized the essence of it all.

Unity said, "It will not be easy for Tex to regain the momentum. He must shed blood if he wants to deal with Shi Lang. I do not know about you, but I can tell. Something is different about him as he is fighting."

Amelia nodded and said, "This fight will not last till the fifth move."

Unity raised her eyebrow and asked, "Are you looking down on the young master of a heavenly clan?"

Amelia shook her head and said, "Shi Lang always keeps a card up his sleeve in case of emergency. That is why he said five moves. He is confident to deal with this guy in under four moves."

Jenkins nodded and said, "I understand what you are saying. However, I feel that this young master Tex is difficult to deal with."

Hayley replied, her gaze locked on the battlefield, "Won't we know the truth if you all focus on the battlefield?"

Everyone fell silent and focused on the scene unfolding in front of them.

...

Shi Lang was not paying attention to these guys, as he dedicated himself to the battle. Then, as Tex was about to reach close to him, Shi Lang swung his sword and said, "Lightning slash."

The slash was so fast that Tex could not even see it. He retreated but sensed something warm flowing down his forehead the next moment. It was a humble cut on his forehead. Tex shivered when he realized that Shi Lang was moving with the intention of killing. His back was covered with a cold sweat.

He did not know how to react. Tex could not move. He could see that Shi Lang was still chasing after him after the last attack. He was not given any chance to catch his breath. Tex raised his sword to block the attack, but Shi Lang did not appear before him. Instead, the terran had invoked his shura martial skill, the blood clones.

The blood clone formed quickly, and then it appeared behind Tex. The young master of the heavenly hawk clan had no idea and waited. He was patiently waiting for the young man to act.

Shi Lang smiled and said, "Game over, Young Master Tex."

Tex did not know what he meant, but the next moment, Shi Lang's clone took a dagger from Tex's waist and placed the tip at the back of the Young Master's head. Tex froze, and Shi Lang said, "Do not move that fast. That dagger seems sharp. It might leave a deep wound if you were to flinch."

Shi Lang smiled as he placed the shura sword back in his chest tattoo and hopped back to the people with a smile. Unity sighed and said, "Let go of the boy. His spirit cannot take it any longer."

Shi Lang shrugged, and with a snap, the clone melted, and the dagger fell to the ground. Tex finally let out a breath as he fell to his knees. Unity approached his side and asked, "Do you understand the difference?"

Tex raised his head and looked Unity in the eyes. The sword spirit could tell the young man was not reconciled. He wanted to stand and fight with Shi Lang. He wanted to strive harder and win a battle. However, Unity sighed and said, "You must understand that some people cannot be reached. If you are dead set on chasing after him, you might have to abandon everything you have believed in. Are you ready to make such a sacrifice?"

Shi Lang sighed and said, "Young Master Tex, rather than defeating me, you need to look after yourself. You are the only reason for your loss. The day you can fight without any thought of victory in your mind and improve. That is when you will truly win."

He looked at the team and said, "People, I need to consolidate my cultivation, so who wants to help me?"

Although it sounded like a question, Shi Lang grabbed Jenkins by the back of his neck and began grinding the young man. His excuse was, "Hey, Jenks, I am helping you get used to your legs again."

The young people who were watching all this from the side trembled. Shi Lang was not pulling his punches. Jenkin Edwards was beaten black and blue, and Hayley Dupont had no heart to step into the people.

Shi Lang sighed as Jenkins fainted after two rounds. Then he began to look for another sparring partner, but the ladies glared at him while the young people were too weak. Tex had just lost the battle, so his spirits were low, which left only Unity.

The sword spirit was an even bigger bully than Shi Lang himself. The two people fought for three hours before they called it quits. Their battle left craters on the crust.

Unity was not going forward with her full strength. She was only helping Shi Lang consolidate his cultivation base and get used to the changes in his body. Finally, after a few more rounds of battle and rest, the young man asked, "Tell me what is happening."

The sword spirit told him everything Darcx had conveyed these past few days. She did not hide anything but even asked for his review. She was not prominent in dealing with matters like this. Shi Lang did not speak instantly. He calculated everything and said, "It is fine. Darcx will know what to do."

Unity smiled bitterly and asked, "Did I make a mistake by asking him to look into the real identity of the enemy?"

Shi Lang replied, "Yes and No. Darcx can find the enemy, but if the enemy is stronger. He might take possession of Darcx and look deeper into the secrets of the Federation and Citadel. The chance of Darcx getting away from an ascended mortal is low. However, Darcx might be able to get into the good books of the patriarch, and then he could do something. Deliver him a message that he should not rush for the investigation and just silently have him set up the teleportation array."

Unity nodded and asked, "What do you intend to do inside?"

This question gathered the attention of everyone on the team. Shi Lang replied, "I will kill everyone indulged in demonic cultivation and locate the prime target. Then the true battle will begin."

Unity nodded and said, "We might need help from some old relics in the citadel."

Shi Lang replied, "We don't need to get what we need. After so many years, those old people have reached such a high level. Until they are selfless, they will not help. And that demon in the dark will not bother with them."

Unity nodded and said, "It is as you say. I doubt those old people are stepping out of those caves. How will we deal with that demon, then? Ascended Mortals have strength hundred times that of a peak Mahayana realm. This guy is even demonic, how can we go against him? He will need at least ten ascended mortals to contain him."

Shi Lang nodded and said, "You can tell those old relics, if they did not move, then I will fight alone if I have too. If they wish to ascend to the immortal plane like cowards. I do not walk the path of a rat."
