Chapter 679 Terror Of The Shura.
The original appearance of this chapter can be found at N0v3l--Biin.
Shi Lang gazed at Tian Long and said, "I do not have the habit of letting my prey run away, Old Man." That said, he took hold of Rakhsa's hilt. He flashed from his position and appeared next to the Demon Beast Fox. Shi Lang could sense the rage flickering in the blood-red eyes of the beast. One needs to understand that in the realm of cultivators, even the weakest people have their pride, and this demon beast was a sovereign-level entity. The creature that stood among the strongest in the world. Yet, now a puny Immortal Lord dared to prance before it with a sword. This blasphemy was not tolerable. The demon fox opened its mouth and roared at Shi Lang. The demonic energy from his body shrouded the figure of the terran. The people gasped, and they did not understand why Shi Lang went to his death. They could tell that Tian Long told him to move, but why, and why was this spear user wielding a sword? Just when some people were wondering, they spotted Fairy Moon Jade appear next to Tian Long and ask, "Why did you send him?" Tian Long said, "Do you not know how he washed his body? When infected with it? Do you think this much would do anything against him?"
Fairy Moon Jade was surprised as she recalled that Shi Lang had long washed his body with sword intent and suffered greater pain than he would have suffered by being corrupted with demonic energy. She turned to look at the figure shrouded in dark smog and found it to be moving forward slowly. The people did not know what was happening at this moment. A sharp whistle echoed in the surroundings, and the people felt their swords tremble. A calm voice followed this phenomenon, "Do you think that such a shitty attack will affect me?" A blue lightning passed through the black smog the next moment, scattering it all. Shi Lang appeared before everyone, holding a blade in his hand, and his body was covered in an armor of lightning spirit energy. Shi Lang walked slowly, but every step he took accumulated a mountainous aura. The demon fox seemed to have fallen short under Shi Lang's shadow. Tian Long watched the scene from the side and said, "To think he mastered the ten steps to heaven and even managed to argue the technique with the rules of yin and yang. Is he a monster?" Fairy Moon Jade remarked, "He is not a human, but a Terran. That is his advantage. I also feel that he is a monstrous talent. But he still has a long way to grow into an entity that could lead the humans into an age of peace." Their voices were calm, but the people behind them caught the whiff and were shocked. They did not expect this young man to have such a high opinion in the minds of the two sovereigns. This was unprecedented with how Tian Long and Moon Jade were. Even the most terrifying geniuses in the central plain never received such praise from them. The people began to look at Shi Lang in a new light. He was no longer just a hot-blooded expert but a future sovereign who could change the path of humanity. Shi Lang stood before the demon fox and slashed his sword. Raksha had been accumulating a lot of sword intent on her edge. Compared to Tian Long's attack, where the void was ripped apart, this attack seemed rather bland. However, it was this blandness that the people shivered in fright. The attack did not even emit any light or cause any spiritual fluctuation. Yet, the attack ended, and the demon beast roared in a wail as its body twitched on the ground. The people shifted their gazes to look at the demon beast and found that one more of its tails had fallen off. Shi Lang did not stop. He swung his sword in a backhand action, and another tail fell off in a very generic fashion, but the roars of the demon beast told the people that it was not a simple thing. The demon fox cursed, "Fucking human! I will avenge this humility." Then, it flickered a distance away. The onlookers were shocked to see that the Demon Sovereign was running away from an Immortal Lord. However, Shi Lang did not chase after it. This response was expected because a sovereign was quicker; technically, Shi Lang could not catch up. He took out a long object from his space ring. Tian Long asked, "What are you doing?" Shi Lang did not reply to him and assumed a firing stance. He could see the demon fox in the crosshair. He channeled his spiritual energy inside the bullet and squeezed the trigger. The bullet flew out of the firing chamber, and it vanished. The people were confused, and some even thought that the Terran was putting up an act. But before their thoughts could run wild, the demon fox wailed again. The people saw a hole in its hind leg. Before they could even feel the shock, another hole appeared in the hind legs of the demon fox. Tian Long and Moon Jade were shocked and did not expect Shi Lang to have such a terrifying weapon. The terran did not stop. He walked into the void with his rifle, firing shots at the beast constantly. He turned the demon fox into a sieve. The dignified demon sovereign was looking so pitiful that some people even sighed. Old Commander Yan said, "Now, do you guys understand how strong he is?" The soldiers behind him nodded. The minor demon beasts on the ground were already frozen when Tian Long injured the Demon Fox, but now they found that the person responsible for killing the Demon Beast Kings was even killing their leader. They were shivering in their spots. The terran had instilled fear in the heart of the most feared creatures in the world. Shi Lang approached the demon fox and said, "Did you think I would let you go? Wrong, I will have my sweet time with you." Then he stowed away the rifle and took out Raksha. The sword swiftly stabbed through the skull, and the demon beast became limp. Tian Long and everyone else thought that Shi Lang killed the sovereign, but the fact was that Shi Lang had imprisoned the soul of the demon fox inside the Shura Realm. He intended to feed this soul and corpse to the demon bane tree and see if it would improve the tree. He turned to look at the people and found that many were looking at him wryly. Shi Lang had subverted their understanding of the world. It was true that the Sovereigns had weakened the beast, but Shi Lang managed to overpower the Sovereign-level Demon Beast in the battle. They had never expected this, and now their minds were frozen. Shi Lang landed on the ground and brought the corpse of the demon beast to Tian Long. He said, "If you do not have any use for this thing, give it to me." Tian Long nodded and did not ask much. He looked around and only said, "I wish for you all to go and slay as many beasts as you can before the morning. The demons, under the influence of the blood moon, transform. They are no less than treasures, and I hope you know what that means." Shi Lang vanished from the side and began to reap lives. His speed was quick, and his attacks were lethal. As he continued killing, his body became enshrouded in a killing aura. Everyone who matched gazes with him felt like they were staring at a reaper from hell. The terran did not care, and he had entered a state of indifference. Fairy Moon Jade said, "This guy knows how to preserve his prey." None of the people in the army were killing the demons near Shi Lang. It was as if they were afraid of stepping into his Territory. Tian Long sighed and said, "I have been watching him for a long time now, and I can never understand what makes him this furious. Why does he charge to chase strength? Look at him. At this moment, no one can associate him with humanity but a cold-blooded killing machine. Why does he do it?" Fairy Moon Jade stood in the void beside him and said, "It could be because he never had things like background and support like we did. Even then, he tried his best and reached the peak of strength. His effort was for a naught. Everyone who came to be on good terms with the Scavenger King knows that he looked at people on the peak as his rivals and tried his best. Maybe that obsession of his continued to this life also." Tian Long looked at the people on the battlefield and said, "The attacks he used earlier were not simple. I feared his blade, even if it was for a fleeting moment, I feared that if I was to take the attack head-on, I will not last even for a second. This guy is really terrifying."
