Ace Of Terrans

Everyone looked to the side and found Zavir gradually healing himself. The Allied forces wanted to move, but they could not. The demonic energy from the shock wave before had infiltrated their bodies, and they needed to push it all out. Otherwise, they would fall to the demonic path. 

Shi Lang coughed up some blood as he watched this scene. Looking around, he determined that it would be him against the demon. His body was also infected, but the Terran still had developed some resistance thanks to the prior encounter. He raised his hand, and the shura sword came to his hand. 

Amelia hurriedly tried to stand up but could not divert her spirit energy to channel through the body. Shi Lang said, “Rest, look after Tao.” 

Amelia gazed at Shi Tao and found that the girl was pale and her body was twitching. She could not leave her, and even if she insisted on joining the battle, she would only be a burden to Shi Lang. All the people wanted to get up and help him but could not move. Only now did they realize why Shi Lang emphasized the mass production of the purification talismans. 

Zavir watched the scene and was surprised, “To think that someone can move even after the demonic energy is rampaging inside their body. How wonderful.” 

Shi Lang did not reply to him and channeled the sword intent in his body. He said, “Shall we fight?” 

Zavir smiled and said, “With pleasure.” 

The demon raised his hand and condensed a black sword in his hand. It was similar to the sword Shi Lang held. The two people vanished, and then the world echoed with clanking sounds. The movement was fast, and the attacks were lethal. 

None of the people could keep track of the two but only sense them with their spiritual sense and the noise from the weapon clash. Shi Tao stabilized after Amelia guided her on how to push the demonic energy. She wanted to participate, but Amelia asked, “Do you think you can keep up with him?” 

Shi Tao bit her lips and said, “Mom, I can do it. My seals have been undone.” 

Amelia nodded and said, “The seals were set to come undone when you reach a specific cultivation realm. However, he undid them forcefully. Now if you try to force yourself, you can die. How do you think he will feel then?” 

Shi Tao was left speechless and in remorse. Not only her but everyone in the allied forces could see that Shi Lang was shouldering the burden of their survival. However, they could not do anything. Amelia sensed this and said, “Push it out quickly. Then you can fight.”

The people felt encouraged and began to push out the demonic energy with even more determination. Shi Lang fought with the demon, and after fifty moves, he used a skill, “Four season sword.” 

His sword moves changed, and they became unpredictable. Zavir exclaimed, but he dealt with all the attacks. Demons were strong but not as skilled as humans or beasts. Their brutal strength was the reason they could deal with all and any strategies. 

Shi Lang did not give up. He began to use his movement techniques, and the attacks became even more tricky. He knew that if he took even the slightest step back, Zavir would come at him, and it would be over quickly. 

His body was not in optimal condition. The spirit energy was channeled to keep the demonic energy out of his heart and mind. Just when his body was about to run out of gas, he took a deep breath and said, “Shura Body.” 

His body began to radiate with battle intent, the demonic energy inside his body was restrained to the limits now, and Shi Lang dived head-first into the battle. 

The two sides did not give each other any grounds to make progress. However, the balance was very delicate. One mistake and the scales will tilt in the enemy’s favor. Zavir was being pushed to the limit, and he was getting impatient. He did not expect this guy to display this level of skill.  𝐎𝐕𝑙xt.𝗇𝓔t

Shi Lang suddenly raised his sword and said, “Shura Slash.” 

He made this move thinking he had the lead in the battle, but Zavir led him in. The demon smirked as the sword slashed at him. Shi Lang had a bad premonition, but he could not do anything to stop the attack. He had committed too far. 

Zavir returned a counter slash, and the two blades clashed. At this moment, Shi Lang thought his world had stopped. The black sword hit right at the small chink in the Shura Sword. The impact of the attack left cracks on the Shura sword. 

The next moment, the Shura sword broke. Crimson shards of metal flew away, and Shi Lang backed off while coughing up blood. The people of the Allied forces all saw the scene and stood up. They stood up from the shock no matter what they were doing or their condition. 

Shi Lang was about to fall into the void. Unity appeared beside him and held him in her arms. Zavir chuckled at the scene. He said, “What will you do now, human?” 

His words fell, and Shi Lang’s body began to tear up. Cracks appeared on his skin, and they all emitted black smoke. Unity sighed and said, “Why take such a burden? Can you not ask for help?” 

Shi Lang gave her a bitter smile; his habit was to shoulder everything alone. He tried to lean on Amelia but could not see her troubled. Unity knew all this and said, “Your dantian and soul sea are fine. Do you still want to fight?” 

Shi Lang nodded, and Unity said, “One chance only, but I will need time.” 

At this moment, five figures stood between them and Zavir. The lady from the group said, “Let us Centurions earn our keep.” 

Unity glanced at them and nodded. She took Shi Lang to the side. They were all cultivators, standing in the void at this moment. Unity said, “Go find me his sword shards. Do not engage in combat; you have ten minutes to find the shards. All the shards will have an aura similar to Shi Lang. Go, hurry.” 

Shi Tao wanted to leave when Unity said, “You stay. I need your help pushing out the demonic energy from his body. Sit behind him. Your spirit energy is potent and will allow us a better chance of expelling the demonic energy.”

Shi Tao followed the instructions, and Amelia left for the sword shards. Unity said, “Channel your spirit energy through his body. Make sure you match up the pace of my intent.” 

Shi Lang was almost unconscious, he did not know what was happening to him, but he knew he was safe. Shi Tao’s spirit energy entered the body and matched the pace with Unity. Shi Tao opened her eyes wide when she sensed Unity moving in with such aggression that one misstep could lead to a fatal injury in the meridians. 

Unity said, “Do not falter. Just match my pace and follow my path.” 

Shi Tao calmed down and moved forward with the plan. Unity was busy, and she was watching the old people fighting the demon. She looked at a few junior warriors at the side and said, “You come here.” 

These warriors could not move with the speed of the Mahayana cultivators. The cultivator approached cautiously, and Unity said, “Track all the people gone after the sword shard.” 

The young man nodded and quickly gave Unity the report. After a few minutes, the people began to return, and they all had a sword shard. Unity asked, “Tell me when everyone is here.” 

After three minutes, all the people arrived with eighty shards. Unity saw the scene and said, “We are short of one.” 

At this moment, Shi Tao said, “There is something inside here.” 

Unity was startled and said, “Someone, remove his suit.” 

The suit was removed quickly, and Unity cursed, “Fuck, how did I miss this.” 

A slim shard as thin as a hair was stuck in Shi Lang’s chest. The sword spirit sighed and said, “Pull it out, but do not use spirit energy or have any intentions.” 

She was speaking when Tex reached out and pulled out a nine-inch long shard from Shi Lang’s chest. Unity said, “Okay, Lang, wake up.” 

Shi Lang opened his eye. He was in a better situation. Unity said, “I will ask you a question and you better not chicken out now.” 

Shi Lang smiled faintly and said, “Tell me what you want?” 

He raised his hand to tell Shi Tao to back off and sit up properly. Unity asked, “Do you want to win this battle?” 

Shi Lang rolled his eyes and looking at the background where the old people were fighting, he said, “Do you even have to ask?” 

Unity said, “Fine then, sacrifice your sword to me.” 

Shi Lang opened his eyes wide and said, “Have you gone mad? You understand what it will do to you?” 

Unity nodded and said, “You also know what it will do to you?” 

Shi Lang hesitated and Amelia asked, “What are you even thinking about? Just do it. The seniors might not be able to hold on.”
