Chapter 663 Death In The Air (4)
Shi Lang was angry with the actions of the demonic cultivators. He could not fathom how low these people could fall to achieve their goals. The path of darkness was not supposed to be like this.
Shi Lang had read the records where darkness was perceived through much self-infliction. The people who pursued darkness would not harm the people for their pursuit of strength.
However, it was not yet his turn to correct the wrongs, and he flew through the void with intense killing intent condensing around him. He was heading to the cavern where his previous prey had marked the group to be gathering. The demonic cultivator told Shi Lang that the group of demonic cultivators was gathering in a cavern outside the town.
Shi Lang was going to bury these people inside the cavern with people. The terran flew at his fastest. He did not have to worry about anything because the Demonic cultivator was very detailed. They had not set up any means of defense around the cave to avoid attention.
This saved Shi Lang some effort to dissolve the situation. He was going to attack these people when they least expected it. Right now, they must be waiting for the return of the demonic cultivator.
Soon, Shi Lang was out of the dense forest and found a cave with lingering demonic energy everywhere. He took a deep breath and landed on the ground. He took out his spear and walked to the entrance.
The demonic cultivators were cautious and deployed two guards at the cave entrance. Shi Lang could have chosen the stealthy method to kill them but was not in the mood to stay silent. He wanted to make these bastards feel some fear. The same thing they had been inducing in the hearts of countless people.
Shi Lang was not in the mood to let them slip by silently. The guards saw him, and one shouted, "Who are you?"
The terran replied, "Your death."
The guards were stunned. Usually, Shi Lang would have moved up and killed them instantly. He allowed them the time to wake up from the daze. They chuckled and asked, "Do you know how many of us are present here?"
Shi Lang replied indifferently, "It does not make any difference."
The guards chuckled, and they lashed at him. Shi Lang did not react and waited for them to come closer to him. The moment the people came closer to him, within the range of attack, his spear whipped through the air. The demonic cultivators suddenly froze in their tracks, and the next moment, they screamed in pain.
Shi Lang used his spear to cut off their legs, and the brain took a few moments to register the pain. They fell to the ground, wailing in pain, and their voices alerted the demonic cultivators inside the cave. Shi Lang smiled at this and said, "Thank you for your services, goodbye."
Then he stabbed the spearhead covered in lightning spiritual energy through the forehead of the enemies. He was not going to let these scum reincarnate, and he destroyed their immortal souls. They only sensed a strong pain in the depths of their soul before they died in agony.
Suddenly, Raksha spoke in his mind, "Can you let me out and have some fun?"
Shi Lang directly opened the spirit tattoo and let her out. The sword shimmered, and Raksha's spirit formed before him. She asked, "Is it okay if I kill them?"
Shi Lang nodded and said, "You can do what you want, but I hope you make them suffer. None is to die easy, and none is to reincarnate in this world."
His voice was cold, and his aura was indifferent. Raksha nodded and said, "Very nice. I would love to make them suffer."
Shi Lang stopped talking, moved to the side, and sat in a lotus position. He watched Raksha unleash hell over the demonic cultivators who charged out of the cave. He manipulated the image stone to stop recording. He watched the process silently, letting the screams and wails echo in the dark forest.
The group of demonic cultivators was not made of elites. The strongest one of them was an Immortal Lord. Killing such an insect was not a big deal for Raksha. The sword spirit was not as merciful as she was in the past. She had become somewhat murderous since she merged with Shi Lang's shura sword spirit.
She sought opportunities to kill and massacre the demonic cultivators. The terran watched things unfold slowly, Raksha enjoyed the feeling, and her laughter was akin to a knife hidden in the darkness.
After ten minutes, the sword spirit finished killing the demonic cultivators. Shi Lang thought briefly and then said, " I shall leave a statement for those who aim to be demonic cultivators, that no matter where they hide, they will perish."
Raksha nodded and then watched Shi Lang procure wooden stumps from the forest. He took out one stump for one head. Then, like a barbarian, he buried one stump in the ground and protruded one head on top of it. Shi Lang performed the entire process very calmly.
Raksha said, "Lang, you have become very cold regarding killing."
Shi Lang turned to look at her and asked, "Have I ever been not cold when killing people?"
Raksha replied calmly, "No, you never have, but this time, the air of death is almost condensing around your body."
Shi Lang thought briefly, saying, "It could be that I have become more decisive. When I learned from Teacher Shadow Blade in the inheritance palace, I found that the orthodox path of darkness was not this twisted. Ever since then, I have grown more disgusted with the current people of the demonic path. I cannot help but wish to kill them."
Raksha nodded and said, "I do not mean to preach, but you must calm down. Remember not to become what you hate."
Shi Lang gazed at her and replied, "Yes, you are correct. I need to restrain myself."
Raksha shook her head and said, "Restraining is not good in every situation. It would be best if you diverted your energy. Do not be so focused on the pursuit of strength."
Shi Lang was stunned and then realized what he had been doing these past few days. The sword spirit noticed his changes, and then she returned to her true self. She said, "You understand what needs to be done, Lang. I only hope that you do not always try to shoulder everything on your own."
Shi Lang smiled as he raised his hand to grasp the sword's hilt. He said, "I will call upon you more frequently if I am in doubt from now on, partner."
Raksha snorted and said, "You are lucky to have me as your partner."
Shi Lang nodded and kept her back in the spirit tattoo. He looked at the scene and used his spear to carve out some words on the wall of the caves. Then he finished checking everything and removed all his traces before he left the place quickly.
The screams must have alerted the people or other experts moving around them. Shi Lang returned to the town, and the sun rose on the horizon. He changed his appearance and walked toward Hao Mei and Hao Ren's house.
Shi Lang took a deep breath and stepped inside. The door of the house was opened at that time. Hao Mei walked in with a questioning look on her face. Shi Lang smiled and said, "Xiao Mei, did you forget me so soon?"
The young girl was shocked. She did not expect the Senior who saved her life to be a young man with bedazzling features. Shi Lang smiled at her, and the young lady asked, "Are you the person who saved my life?"
Shi Lang smiled and replied, "I am no such savior, but I did help you a bit."
Hao Mei came to stand before him and bowed in respect. She said, "Thank you for your help, Senior. I cannot repay this debt."
Shi Lang smiled and said, "I think you can."
Hao Mei was surprised, but she did not raise her head. Shi Lang waved his hand and raised the girl to stand straight. He smiled and said, "Would you like to follow me as your master?" The primary upload of this chapter happened on n/0/vel(b)(j)(n).
Hao Mei was surprised and could not understand what was happening. Suddenly, she thought and said, "Sir, I cannot follow you and leave my brother alone."
Shi Lang smiled and said, "I will take your brother along, too. Do not worry. He will not be my disciple, but he will be treated with respect, and if someone takes the fancy to him, he will accept tutelage from that respected senior. I will send him to where he will have a chance to turn into a true immortal expert."
Hao Mei was stunned she did not understand what was going on. Her life was about to change, and the change was not simple. She had been served with a chance to rise to the peak. She knew Shi Lang was not a simple person. After much deliberation, she knelt to him and said, "Disciple greets you, Master."
