Chapter 945: Havoc.
Raksha moved her hands and the two Dao Weapons that had just bathed in the golden tribulation shot out and began to attack the people who tried to come close to Shi Lang.
Raksha was a heavenly spiritual spirit being, she had intelligence and power that surpassed many of the people present around, she was bound to not display her full power because Shi Lang was weaker than her. A spiritual weapon would upgrade in levels when their master climbs the realm.
However, Shi Lang was not an ordinary cultivator, he used his brain and power so efficiently that he could take down Dao Kings at the level of a Dao General. Now that he had stepped into the Dao Lord Realm, he would be able to kill these people with some effort.
Raksha displayed the sword intent and skills with great might, one of the Dao Kings who had just defended himself from the attack of the Dao weapon was covered in sweat. The spirit phantom alone had struck fear in his heart, how strong with the human who controls this phantom will be?
The speculation gave him second thoughts and hesitation, whether he should continue fighting. This hesitation became his doom. Raksha locked onto two people who were closest to her and said, "Shura Sword, Void Cut."
The two weapons vanished from their spots, and then everyone saw them materialize when the blades had already pierced through the bodies of the two Dao Kings. The attacks caused the two people howl.
The spectators sucked in a deep breath and said, "Aiming for the Dantian, destroying the cultivation of the enemies. This spirit sure is ruthless."
One of his subordinates said, "Senior, shall we continue fighting? This battle has become sort of an uphill battle."
The Dao King said, "Of course we should continue fighting, this guy is a genius. He is so young and has already achieved the stage of a tribulation alchemist and Dao Forging Grandmaster. How could it be so easy to fight him? Come, take out the nine hell prison formation. That will consume most of his energy and we will be able to take him down."
The people nodded and they spread around Shi Lang. Raksha looked at Lady Yao in the distance and said, "You should not interfere, he is about to wake up."
Lady Yao was surprised but then, like the few others, she stood back and watched the situation unfold.
Five Dao Kings and some Dao Lords grouped up and surrounding Shi Lang. They made some hand seals and then a barrier appeared around the Terran who was absorbing the last bit of the heavenly providence shining upon him.
Lady Yao heard someone saying, "I was wondering where have I seen these people. They turn out to be the members of the Nine Hell Tower."
The lady narrowed her gaze. Nine hell tower was an assassination organization. They had a reputation of ambushing people and attacking trapping them inside an illusion formation which also isolated the spiritual energy. The trapped target would gradually lose both the physical and mental fortitude to continue battle and will end up dying.
Just when everyone thought that Shi Lang was in a bind, the Terran opened his eyes and stood up in the void. His wounds from facing the Tribulation have been healed and his vitality had become evident. At this moment, the person leading the enemy camp said, "Begin."
Everyone of the members under his lead poured their spiritual energy out and formed a chain. Shi Lang opened his eyes and looking at the situation he said, "Hmmm, an illusion to catch me, how naive."
His voice was faint but it echoed through the hearts of the people, making them shiver. He grabbed the void before him and a red and gold sword materialized in his palm. Looking at the few people, Shi Lang said, "Death Dance."
His hair turned crimson and he vanished from his position. The array was working at its full capacity yet, Shi Lang broke through it and stood before the leader of the group. The person gulped and wanted to attack, but everyone saw Shi Lang lifting his sword for one millimeter and the body of the Dao King before him was split in two along his length.
The spectators opened their eyes wide, one of them gulped and remarked, "Killing a Dao King in one move. What a monster, how did he do it."
Someone clenched the hilt of his sword and said, "It is his sword intent and a strong slaughter intent. Can you all not feel your weapons shivering ever since he woke up? The sword spirit said, that what she did is the will of the sword saint.
Even if they all attack him together, a sword saint can chop them with just a blink of his eyes. This is why they are so feared among the people. I feel bad for these people who are ambushing him."
Shi Lang walked through the void, and every ten steps a corpse would fall on the ground. The scene was ghastly, Shi Lang was slaying Dao Kings and Dao Lords as if chopping vegetables.
Someone from the spectators said, "Do you think this years heavenly warrior list will give him a place?"
Another person rebuked, "Have you gone mad? That is the heavenly warrior list, only ten kings and ten emperors can enter. This guy is strong but I don't think he can climb that level."
A loud snort sounded beside them and Lady Yao said, "We should not speak unbridled words and incur embarrassment."
The person was about to say something when he heard he friend, "Greetings, Lady Yao."
The people were shocked, they might not have seen Lady Yao but her name was renowned as the sword of the Martial Spirit Hall. She was a brutal woman who killed without batting an eyelid. They all greeted her and the lady nodded with a simple expression.
The man asked, "Lady Yao, are you also here to see him?"
Lady Yao shook her head, and people began to speculate what could be the cause of her presence in such a place. On the other side, Shi Lang had finished with his slaughter. His hair turned black and then Shi Lang turned around to look at all the people present and his gaze made the people feel inferior.
Shi Lang vanished from his place and appeared next to Lady Yao and said, "Teacher, we should head back. The dead line given by master is just two days ahead."
Lady Yao nodded and said, "Good."
She took out a token and waved her hand to open a tunnel in the void. Shi Lang entered the tunnel and Lady Yao followed. The token allowed her to directly open a void passage leading to the Forbidden Valley.
As the two vanished, everyone concluded that Shi Lang was tied up with the Martial Spirit Hall. They were baffled but at the same time somewhat content. The inner disciples of the Martial Spirit Hall rarely came out in the world, but when they did, they would shake the world.
Shi Lang was someone who had the bearings of the inner disciple. So, the news began to circulate.
Situ Family, in the gathering hall, everyone was present. The grand elder had a face that was the definition of regret and hate. The family leader was angry, he did not know that Shi Lang had the capability to fight across realms. He did not believe that the Terran had slayed people with ease.
Well, word of mouth did carry some traces of exaggeration but not all the time. Situ Xueyin, on the other hand, was surprised and her heart was brimming with shock. She did not expect that the young man from the city gate was such a monster. Had it not been the fact that he did not wish to discard all the courtesy between the two group, he could have killed those juniors then and there.
She took a deep breath but did not speak, if she spoke she would have to bear the ridicule of the entire elder cabinet. Situ Tian Hu raised his head and said, "Call the meeting of the three houses, in the upcoming meeting, we will be aiming to kill as many of the Martial Spirit Hall disciples as we can."
Situ Xueyin narrowed her gaze but did not say anything. She clenched her fist and said, "I will make the arrangements."
The elders looked at her and nodded as she bade them farewell. The elders were concerned that something might go wrong, but things had already come to this stage, how could they not do anything. The Martial Spirit Hall would not let them go at all.
...
Tong Bai was rocking her chair slowly, when Ye Lia came inside with the two girls Shi Lang had rescued. The latter said, "Uncle Shi had killed nineteen Dao Kings, and several Dao Lords as he stepped into the Dao Lord realm, what is this dynamic?"
Tong Bai shook her head and replied, "You need not worry about him. Inform your grandfather for me. The three families will suffer a big damage this time, the four houses should not interfere. Let them reap what they have sown. Let there be havoc."
