Ace Of Terrans

The ace division entered the atmosphere and the drop pod began to shake. Aran clicked his tongue and said, “Boss, the re-entry point is not good. What shall we do?”

Shi Lang replied, “Endure till the time, then abandon this drop pod. We will use free fall.”

The people nodded, and the nano-bots began to squirm out of their battle suits and cover the rest of their faces. The visors became helmets and then they waited for the drop pod to scatter. The atmosphere was denser on this planet. This made the friction increase and this trip was not helping them.

Clang!!!

A panel tore apart from the surface of the ship. Shi Lang undid his seat belt and the rest followed. Shi Lang had given them all the phaser guns he had scavenged from the Ikeras people. The people all aimed at the top of the pod ceiling and fired big holes from inside. Then they all pushed the floor off.

Shi Lang said in his communicator, “Use your spiritual energy to cast a barrier.”

The team followed the advice and then the pressure from the atmosphere vanished and they fell through. Aran said, “Boss, how do we detect human activity?”

Shi Lang said, “Scan this place for the Bodix reserves and that is where we will find the fish.”

Aran nodded and then he scanned the place, he replied, “We are in a bad position here boss, nothing matches the bodix metal concentration.”

Sparrow said, “Boss, we can reach the ground first and then use the soul-sensing array.”

Shi Lang replied, “Good.”

The people dived faster through the clouds, and Shi Lang suddenly said, “I am such a doofus.”

Then he vanished from his place along with the person closest to him. Then he reappeared and disappeared again, and in just a few seconds, the entire team was on land. Shi Lang had forgotten his ability to fly. Jill asked, “Boss, what was that about?”

Shi Lang sighed and said, “I forgot that I could fly. Like what is wrong with me?”

The people chuckled and then Sparrow said, “Boss, should I set up the array now?”

Shi Lang nodded and said, “Yes, begin.”

Sparrow took out some spirit stones and then she set up an array. The spirit stones were arranged around her in a specific manner. The spirit stones glowed with light, and then after a few minutes the lady said, “Boss, east.”

Shi Lang nodded and then they all moved in the east direction. The soul-sensing array allowed people to detect lives in the area. In this case, it was the planet, the difference did not matter much to them. They were strong enough.

The group moved fast and quietly. After an entire day, they reached a mountain. Shi Lang smirked and said, “Oh, they have around a thousand people.”

Crystal was shocked at how this man was able to discover the number of people. Jill asked, “Boss, how do we approach this issue?”

Sonic said, “Boss, our abilities will not make it for long.”

Shi Lang said, “Fools, an array can lead us here. Now, what we need is to set up killer arrays.”

The people gulped and Raz came to kneel in front of him, he said, “Boss, forgive me, but not those death traps. Please. You can form your clones and have them lead the way. The attack power will be strong and then we will follow. You know those killer arrays can simply give me goosebumps.”

Crystal said, “Boss, I can cast an illusion array. That will allow us to get past these people.”

Shi Lang shook his head and said, “You sissies need to be strong, you have to learn the arrays. This is your last chance to willingly do so. Otherwise, I will throw you into a killing array and see if you can survive.”

Sparrow shivered and then she took out a bunch of spirit stones and under the guidance of Shi Lang, she set up a spiritual array on the patrolling route of the mercenaries. The people all followed her example and set up spiritual arrays on multiple patrolling routes.

Since this place was kept hidden, they relied on the old ways of doing things. Shi Lang and Crystal looked at each other and the young man said, “Well, Comrade Crystal. Time to get into the thick of it. You lack battle experience, so I will have you come along with me and then you will deal with the small fries in the outer levels.”

Crystal nodded and then the two people walked in the direction where the camp began. They were calm, and unbridled by the fact that someone can detect them. However, this did not stop them. As they reached the optical range the two people used their superior speeds and vanished.

Shi Lang used Lazer target the point out people for Crystal and he asked her to do it as quickly as she could. The girl did not hesitate and followed along with his instructions. She moved quickly and better than in the past sessions. Shi Lang asked, “Have you been practicing?”

Crystal nodded and said, “Boss, how can you see through things like this?”

Shi Lang did not reply and said, “You need to pick up the pace, from now on, every person you take on should be dealt with in ten moves only.”

The onslaught carried and Shi Lang did not say much as he watched everything from the sky. The rest of the ace division was taking care of the people in the killer formations. The mercenaries were not fools, they had rung all the alerts they could. At this moment, they thought that the stronghold was facing attacks from twenty fronts and a small team had barged inside the camp.

​ Shi Lang nodded as he saw these people in a mess, the man sighed and then he cut open his palm. Drops of blood fell down on the ground and then he formed a dozen of his clones. The clones were the manifestation of the Shura Clone technique. Under Shi Lang’s command, the clones moved, they all grabbed the weapons from the mercenaries and then started slaughtering them.

Crystal was shocked to the core, only now did she understand why Raz was saying that Shi Lang’s clones could lead. The young general was truly a terrifying person when it came to combat. As she lagged behind the clones, Shi Lang landed on the ground and then said, “You can rest, I will take these people on.”

The man then took out his sword from the space ring, this also surprised Crystal when Shi Lang had taken out the rifles in the drop pod. The young man took a deep breath and with his sword held high, he vanished, the next thing Crystal saw made her face pale in color.

Shi Lang killed people like he was cutting weeds on a farm. He killed ten people with one attack at least, and the slashes were all fast and sharp. His combat did not look elegant, but it was effective. So effective that the enemy was hesitating in approaching him. At this moment a loud voice sounded, “Why are you holding back, bastards? Kill him, kill that man and that bitch.”

Crystal was enraged and then she smiled, every mercenary around her froze, and then she killed them. The two people were like grim reapers. Soon, the rest of the ace division joined them. The efficiency increased by hundred folds. Each one of them was quick and fast, none of the mercenaries lasted for more than one attack.

After half a day of fighting, the incoming waves of the enemy stopped. Shi Lang also stopped and said, “Something is not right.”

Aran said, “Boss, I am picking up a large number of ballistics approaching us.”

Shi Lang nodded and then he looked up at the sky. The young man was already covered in lots of blood, he could see a few points of light blinking in the sky. Then he raised his hand and then pointed his right index finger at the light points. He condensed spirit energy in his body at the tip of his finger and said, “Do not step out of the barrier.”

The people were confused and then they saw Shi Lang drawing a rune in the void. Crystal was shocked again, she was doubting her decision to follow this group of evildoers. Shi Lang condensed the barrier around him and then he stepped out of it before vanishing from the sight of the people.

The point of lights turned into missiles and they soon hit the barriers. The people shivered and then after a few moments, the light around them vanished. Shi Lang was gone. Everyone looked at Jill, and the lady said, “Follow his tracks, he must have gone after the people. We will not get any kills if he really got pissed.”

Crystal asked, “What do you mean, big sis Jill?”

Jill replied in a low tone, “You will know soon.”

That said the team moved forward to follow Shi Lang.
