Ace Of Terrans

Chapter 757 Who Is The Demon?

Chapter 757 Who Is The Demon?

?Shi Lang and Zhu Liang were both strong people, and they could sense what was coming at them. The two of them stopped fighting and looked at the incoming trouble. Shi Lang quickly looked at his communicator and replied to Yun Xue, "Demon Beast Tide, run away. I will find a way to catch up."

Zhu Liang was unlike him, and his eyes were glowing with the intent to battle. He asked, "Say, Young Master Ace, why don't we see who will kill how many demon beasts?"

Shi Lang replied calmly, "Young Master Zhu, I don't mind that, but are you sure you will stay alive to count the result?"

Zhu Liang chuckled and said, "We shall see when the time comes."

As they fought, they watched the trees in the distance fall. Shi Lang used his sensory ability and said, "Fifty demon beast goats. All of them Immortal kings."

Zhu Liang asked, "How do you know?"

Shi Lang replied, "Everyone has a secret of their own; now if you do not want to become a pile of sheep dung, focus."

His words immediately spurred Zhu Liang's solider instinct. Even Zhu Liang himself was surprised by this reaction. He did not expect that Shi Lang would have such an impact. His aura was that of a general leading his troops to battle. He looked at Shi Lang and found the latter standing half a step ahead.

Zhu Liang wanted to move forward, but something in his heart told him he was safer in this position. When he was dwelling on whether he should move forward, he spotted the demons incoming. The beasts all had a similar appearance. It was a pack of wolves with goat horns protruding from their foreheads.

Shi Lang lowered his body and said, "Young Master Zhu, do not fight them head-on. I have a bad feeling about their foreheads."

Zhu Liang nodded and said, "I agree."

Shi Lang knew that Zhu Liang had been training at the frontier and was not an average Joe. The wolves spotted the two of them and howled. Suddenly, Shi Lang and Zhu Liang spotted a mass of dark energy gathering in the middle of the horns. They exchanged glances and vanished from their spots just in time to evade a beam of dark energy.

Shi Lang appeared next to the beast, and his spear flashed. The stabbing attack opened a hole in the side of the wolf demon beast. Shi Lang channeled his lightning spiritual energy through the weapon, finishing the process quickly. On the other hand, Zhu Liang was quick in his assault, too. His attack was even more brutal; he used the shaft of his spear to hit the back of the wolf's head and squash it like a watermelon.

Shi Lang sensed it. The young man was a master of the earth element. He was using his strength to compensate for his speed. Shi Lang nodded. At least this guy was not a total waste. He focused on fighting the beasts charging at him. Shi Lang recalled the feeling of simultaneously being shot at by multiple laser beams.

The wolves attacked him simultaneously, all charging at his vital points. However, he was not intimidated. He channeled his spiritual energy into the aimed parts and used it effectively as armor against the attack. However, Zhu Liang was not as efficient as Shi Lang, and his body was covered in scales made of rocks.

It provided him with great defending prowess, but when faced with the savages, this method consumed his spiritual energy faster. If it continued, he would not last long. Shi Lang did not intend to take on an unnecessary battle, but he had to help Zhu Liang if he wished to outlast this tide.

...

Everyone was still gathered in the square in the forger city, except the two people who had fought with Mel. A few rogue cultivators had also been sent out, and word was that one person had been consumed by the demon beasts inside the secret realm.

At this moment, multiple screens were erected in the void. Old Man Pie and the other Immortal Emperors were monitoring the contestants. They could not intervene between life and death, but apart from self-defense, all other deadly attacks on fellow humans were forbidden.

Suddenly, the people in the square noticed the screen where Shi Lang and Zhu Liang were facing the demon beast horde. They gasped and began to clamor. An elder from the Zhu Family suddenly yelled, "Why is this guy not helping, Young Master Liang? What is the use of his title as the champion? Is he deliberately waiting for Young Master Liang to die?"

Yang Tie heard this and turned to look at the guy with a cold gaze. When the people saw this, they calmed down. Inside the heavenly pavilion, Shi Lang and Tian Long were his superiors, and they had the guts to do insane things that he could not imagine; thus, he was always rattled around them.

However, if he faced anyone else, his temper was that of a dragon. He replied in a cold tone, "Oye, Zhu, are you and your family members blind? Can you not see that Young Master Ace is fending off demons alone, too? If not for the clamor created by your battle-blind Young Master Ling, these demon beasts would not have attacked them in the first place. Have your family not learned their lesson? Control your ambition and tongue because they can both draw dangers toward you."

The Zhu Family elder turned to look at Yang Tie and said, "Who do you think you are? Just a dog of the Heavenly Dragon Pavilion, and you wish to teach us a lesson? Do not forget your place."

Yang Tie was not upset but replied, "We all know who is a dog to whom. Why cannot I see your elders and patriarch here? Oh, I forgot they were slaughtered like dogs for wagging their tails to some foreign forces. You better keep your mouth shut to maintain the pretense of being wise before the city folks."

Zhu wanted to retort, but Azul Herman snorted, quieting them. He was done with this hubris.

...

Inside the secret realm, Shi Lang killed the demons attacking him as quickly as possible, storing the corpses in his space ring while making his way to Zhu Liang. The latter was being pushed into a corner and was seriously overwhelmed by the pack of wolves. Shi Lang noticed a few patches of rocks were missing from his body.

He instructed, "Get down."

Zhu Liang did not know what this guy would do, but the next moment, he took out a rifle from his space ring and began to shoot spiritual bullets one after the other. These bullets were not metallic projectiles, but they were pure spiritual energy.

Shi Lang was not wasting his time, and it was not only his spear. He modified his sniper rifle as well. Making it so that the weapon could condense spiritual energy faster and act like a repeating rifle rather than a bolt action.

This was the first time he had tested it, and the red lightning bullets moving through the void proved deadly to the demonic beasts. They fell on the ground like puppets whose strings snapped.

Zhu Liang watched this and was shocked. He could not help but think that if Shi Lang had used this weapon to fight him, he would have died, too. The attack speed and the impact were cruel. Every demon beast that suffered the burn of the attack was charred, and the lightning was so destructive that when the beast fell on the ground, the corpse would turn into ash.

Zhu Liang saw that some part of the corpse was not burnt and remained intact, but it was slowly fusing and releasing smoke. He gulped and looked at Shi Lang, whose complexion was looking pale. At this moment, Shi Lang stood with his back facing Zhu Liang. The latter held the shaft of his spear tightly, and his eyes flickered, but Shi Lang said, "Do not think you will live if you try to move."

Zhu Liang was shocked and did not expect Shi Lang to be able to tell what he was thinking when he was focused on the demon beasts so intensively. Shi Lang was dealing with the demon beasts so accurately that he only shot a few dozen shots before all the demon beasts were done for.

The Terran did not relax and rushed away from the position. He turned to face Zhu Liang and asked, "You wanted to kill me just now, did you not?"

Zhu Liang wanted to nod, but when he sensed Shi Lang's indifference in his eyes, he shivered and shook his head. Shi Lang said, "Second Zhu, it would be wise if you handed over your jade card and left before I lost control and killed you."

Zhu Liang shivered. He was sure that if he did not do as told, Shi Lang was going to kill him. At this moment, he could not understand if this guy before him was a human or a demon beast. As he moved his hand to take out his jade card, Zhu Tian appeared between him and Shi Lang.

Zhu Liang took a sigh of relief, and Zhu Tian said, "On the account that you saved my brother, leave now. Or I will take your jade card."

Then he aimed his battle intent at Shi Lang, who smiled like a demon and said, "Gladly."
