Ace Of Terrans

552 Turning Tables.



Shi Lang watched as Bo Qingtan and Yun Xue finished dealing with two demonic cultivators. He turned to look at the two youngsters firing arrows at the two Demonic Cultivators running away from the battlefield. 

He sneered and said, "Do you think I will let you run away? Shura Domain." 

His aura locked the entire field. The pressure was stifling, Xu and Jang were surprised, and then Shi Lang vanished from his spot and appeared before the two people. He did not give them any time. His sword flashed, and a streak of lightning shot from his blade. The two people had no time to react before the sharp sword intent cut their bodies in half. 

They died at the sight of their internal organs falling on the ground, with splashing sounds shocking everyone. Yun Xue and Bo Qingtan looked at him with disbelief. They did not expect him to be so cruel. 

Xu and Jang immediately became alert. He asked vigilantly, "Who were you, and why did they help us?" 

He was not going to relax. He knew humans were not good to each other. Shi Lang replied, "You don't have to worry. Two people ambush your backup team. You should go over to help." 

Hearing this, Xu narrowed his gaze. Jang asked, "How do you know they are in danger?" 

Shi Lang sensed hostility from these people and took a deep breath to calm himself down, and Bo Qingtan said, "Brother Ace is reminding you out of kindness. If you believe it, then go. If you do not believe that stay here and wait for them to die." 

Yun Xue did not say anything and waited for the people to react. If they were to attack Shi Lang and them, she would not mind stepping forward and killing these people here and now. 

Shi Lang said, "You do not have to be so uptight. If you think we are lying, consider this if we can reach you after noticing the signal flare from outside the formation. Why have your people not arrived?" 

His tone was calm, and he was not even closer to them. Shi Lang put the sword back inside the sheath. Jang said, "You can be saying this to make us leave and access the inheritance here." 

Shi Lang sighed and turned to look at the Stele on the side. A strong barrier surrounded this Stele, and only the fated one could reach the Stele unharmed. Shi Lang moved closer to the Stele and read aloud, "This is the Stele left behind by Immortal God Dominant Flames. Hmmm, we do not have any flame cultivator among us. This inheritance is a waste of time." 

The four feet stele had information carved over it. The terran turned to Yun Xue and Bo Qingtan and said, "We should get going." 

The other two did not have any problems. The three calmly walked away while discussing a few things about the battle. They did not care if Xu was going to attack them from behind. 

Xu and Jang were surprised that Shi Lang and his team left the place without fuss. They quickly came back to their senses and rushed in the direction of their backup team. They have never seen a group of people who would give up on inheritance even if they do not practice the said element. 

...

Bo Qingtan asked, "Brother, was it not too ostentatious of us to leave them be?" 

Yun Xue asked, "Yes, why did you leave? You have the lightning element and could have taken that fire inheritance." 

Shi Lang shook his head and said, "I would like to develop in the way of the sword and temper my physique. The rest of the dao paths are nothing but a diversion." 

Yun Xue and Bo Qingtan exchanged glances. They realized Shi Lang was stronger than them, and he was more focused. They kept following him through the woods. Yun Xue asked, "Where are we going to go?" 

Shi Lang replied, "One of the clones discovered a few clues leading to a cave with the source of spirit liquid. Even if we cannot find the inheritance, we can refine our bodies to another level and store some away for the people back home." 

The spirit liquid was a treasure craved by all the cultivators. This liquid was such a wonderful substance that anyone could use it regardless of age or realm of cultivation. It was also one of the few substances in the immortal world that did not have any side effects. 

Shi Lang did not have to explain anything further. The two people behind him were cultivators who knew the value of spiritual liquid. It was not like Shi Lang had never encountered some in the past, but the quality of spirit liquid greatly influenced the consumption results. 

The trio was quick, but they had to cover a great distance. Suddenly, Shi Lang frowned and asked, "Is it just me, or did the surroundings fall silent suddenly?" 

Bo Qingtan nodded and replied, "I also sensed something, but I am unsure what it is. Any ideas?" 

Yun Xue looked around carefully, and suddenly she exclaimed, "Shit!"

Shi Lang clicked his tongue and said, "You should come out." 

The woods echoed with laughter. It was not one voice but multiple. Shi Lang was busy running around that he did not take notice of the communicator and even did not use his ability to sense the surroundings. The place fell quiet because they had walked into a spirit formation. 

Bo Qingtan suddenly frowned and said, "It is not human intervention." 

Shi Lang raised his brow, and Yun Xue added, "The human-faced owls." 

Shi Lang raised his hand and asked, "Excuse me, can someone tell me what this is about?" 

Yun Xue replied, "You could not detect this place because this is a natural formation. We cannot break it like any other formation array but only pass through it, and those laughing voices just now were from a beast called a human-faced owl." 

The terran nodded and said, "That makes sense. So what is the solution? Pardon me, but I do not know this beast." 

Yun Xue replied, "This beast is harmful, but hearing its voice for a prolonged period will confuse your mind. It likes to play with people. So, we have to hurry before we lose our sanity." 

Shi Lang nodded and tapped on his communicator. He said, "You will sense something inside your ear but do not resist. It will allow us to avoid the sound of the owl." 

The two people nodded, and four probes entered their ear canal. They did not sense any discomfort from them. Shi Lang said, "These nanobots will prevent vibration from entering the ear canal." 

Bo Qingtan asked, "How come we can hear you?" 

Shi Lang rolled his eyes and said, "The spiritual communication is still working. Let's go." 

The three of them moved forward again but did not realize that a pair of round eyes was aimed at them silently. 

The three people were running when Shi Lang raised his hand and signaled for the two to take cover and be silent. They hid behind the tree and looked ahead, finding a few corpses on the ground. 

This place was where the spiritual liquid was. Shi Lang's clone had been scouting this place in secret, and just when Shi Lang was about to recall the clone when he picked up the scent of blood. 

The clone told him it was a guardian beast's masterpiece. Shi Lang sighed and conveyed the message to his friends, who began to think about a few ways to deal with this beast. 

Shi Lang was standing with his back leaning against the tree trunk when he spotted an owl. The beast was constantly moving its beak and making confusing sounds. However, Shi Lang's countermeasure failed the beast. 

The terran noticed a sense of disappointment flickering in the eyes of the beast. Suddenly he recalled something. He raised his left hand, interacted with the communicator, and raised his head to look at the owl. Shocked, the beast widened its eyes. 

Shi Lang smiled and continued interacting with the communicator for a few minutes before the human-faced owl flew up from the tree branch and silently came to sit on his shoulder. This action shocked Bo Qingtan and Yun Xue. 

They did not know how to explain what they just witnessed. The human-faced owl is one of the shyest beasts, and now this guy took the initiative to land on Shi Lang's shoulder. 

Shi Lang smiled and took out a spirit pill from his space ring. The owl accepted the tribute and intimately rubbed its beak against the terran's cheek. Yun Xue asked, "What is all this?" 

Shi Lang smiled and said, "I communicated with this guy using my communicator. It can produce beast sounds. I secured a deal with this guy. Suppose she aided us in dealing with the guardian beast inside the cave. Then she can take a deep in the Spirit Liquid." 

The two natives of the immortal realm exchanged glances, and they spoke in unison, "You know this is cheating, right?" 

Shi Lang was stunned, but then he chuckled.
