Chapter 777: Shura’s Sacrifice.
Shi Lang had a tear of blood tracing down his cheek. His eyes were blank with no emotion in them. He took a step forward holding the sword in his hand. The people could sense that something about the atmosphere was different but they could not point out what.
The sovereigns on the human side were ready to attack when the Terran said, “Watch over Moon and Tian. If they suffered, I will slay you all.”
Lao Xu and Amethyst were the first to notice that his voice was not echoing in the surroundings but it made their soul seas tremble. They were shocked by this sudden change. Sovereign Amethyst quickly helped the weakened Fairy Moon Jade with her. Lao Xu carried away Tian Long’s body.
Mandala watched all this and crossed his hands before his chest as he said, “Junior, you need to understand that the balance of the world is crucial. If Tian Long was to succeed then the good of the world would overwhelm it and gradually lead to the destruction of the world as we know it. I could not have let that happen, could I?
Also, do you think that if you mindlessly try to attack us, you will succeed? Why do you wish to die so soon? Cherish some more time with your family and friends. I will not advice you to throw your life away.”
Shi Lang was looking at him with a calm gaze, and as he walked his Dao Armor and Dao crown vanished. The people thought that the shock of a friends death was effecting him. The demonic sovereigns exchanged gazes and Old Centipede said, “Hmmm, the darkness in his heart at this moment, almost gives me the urge to eat him alive. How delightful he would taste?”
His fellow cultivators laughed and began passing comments. However, the next moment, Old Centipede stopped laughing abruptly. Nobody knew what happened, but Shi Lang appeared before him, and Raksha’s blade was already passing through Old Centipede’s abdomen.
The lightning in the sky flashed as if the world was going to end. The people were shocked at the scene, there were at least twenty sovereign level cultivators present at the scene but none of them sensed how Shi Lang moved and appeared before the Demon Sovereign.
Old Man Yanshu took a deep breath and said, “He did not use the space element, then how did he go there?”
Old Man Centipede struggled and tried to put distance but he could not move, his life was being sucked out of him at a visible pace. Shi Lang gazed at the man impaled by hi sword and said, “Raksha says you taste like filth.”
Old Man Centipede tried to use his demonic energy to attack Shi Lang, but he could not circulate it at all. Everything inside him was being sucked. It could be that influenced by Shi Lang’s rage, Raksha had been devouring everything in her way quickly. In just two breaths, that seemed to be a long time, the Demonic Sovereign was consumed and only a husk of his body was left.
Shi Lang suddenly turned around to look at Mandala and said, “Lightning Shura.”
The lighting from the sky fell down and appeared before Mandala. The monk had just used his Dao Laws to directly attack Tian Long and his realm had fallen back to that of an Immortal Emperor. He was weak and Shi Lang was going to trap him so that the latter is unable to run around.
The Terran moved and slowly approached the Demonic Sovereigns. The enemy did not run after watching how Shi Lang was dragging the husk of Sovereign Centipede, it was below them to feel threatened or show fear to a junior.
However, the spiritual experts were having a hard time believe what they just witnessed. Yanshu mumbled, “He killed that Centipede, right?”
He could not believe what just happened, and neither could the others. As Shi Lang walked ahead many demonic cultivators attacked him, but before they could even get close to him, lightning streaks fell on them and incinerated them into mounds of ashes.
No one understood what was happening, they could not figure out a technique that would allow Shi Lang to lay waste to demonic sovereigns stronger than him by this level.
The demonic cultivators that rushed to him were all demon kings, killing them like cutting cabbage was still somewhat understandable for them. However, killing a Demon Sovereign who was capable of destroying a country with a punch with Shi Lang being a king who could take out just a mountain seemed too unrealistic.
Amethyst commented, “I am sure he is using some kind of sacrificial technique but what is it. I do not understand. I just hope that when it all ends, we do not have to grieve for two of our brave friends.”
The sovereigns nodded, they acknowledged Shi Lang’s strength.
…
Amelia and the rest finished dealing with the Demonic Cultivators inside the arena, and they moved outside. Suddenly, Yang Niao said, “We should head outside the city, the Demonic cultivators are rushing out there for some reason.”
The people did not even ask how he knew that but took off after him. Shi Tao cast him a suspicious glance when Yun Xue appeared beside him and said, “Brother Yang is the deputy hall master of the Asura Hall, a force cultivated by your father.”
Shi Tao nodded, and Amelia appeared beside her too. They were all rushing through the streets as fast as possible, and Shi Tao asked, “What happened Mom? You seem different.”
Amelia said, “I am getting a bad vibe from Lang taking off on his own. I am worried something is going…”
She had not yet finished speaking, when they arrived at the battlefield. Amelia was stunned by the scene before him. So was everyone else, a warrior was walking among lightning shower from the sky, and the army of Immortal warriors watched his back in a daze. Every now and then, the warrior raised his sword and wails echoed in the battle field.
They watched Shi Lang killing Demonic Sovereigns with ease and the fearsome existences that caused many to dread were screaming and wailing in pain under his blade. On the side, Amelia spotted Fairy Moon Jade kneeling on the ground holding hands with a man laying beside her.
She trembled and Shi Tao supported her quickly. The latter asked, “Mom, are you okay? Where is Baba?”
Amelia looked at her daughter wanting to answer but Yun Xue was quicker, “There.”
She raised her finger and pointed at the figure that was killing Demonic Sovereigns with his red sword. Shi Tao could not recognize her father because of his red hair and even more, his aura was completely different than what she knew about it.
She was confused when Amelia said, “He had been comprehending the Dao Of Indifference along with the path of Lightning and Sword. He never used the laws of indifference. Then why today?”
Lao Xu heard this and appeared before her, and he asked, “Tell me, what is this technique he is using?”
Amelia was surprised by the sudden appearance of the old man but she found that almost all the sovereigns were looking at her. She steeled her heart and put up a cold face. She replied, “I will not tell you anything, unless you swear on your Dao Heart no to trouble him after this. You may think that I am being excessive but it is for your own good that you do so.
Otherwise, you can see the impact of his skills on the Demonic Cultivators.”
The people were shocked, they had their ways to make Amelia talk, but her threat did make them wonder if they would be able to survive Shi Lang’s fury. Amethyst stepped forward and made the oath, shocking the others.
The lady said, “If our juniors do not trust us with the knowledge, then do you think we are any different from those demonic scums?”
Her words put the rest to shame and they sighed and nodded. After they made the oath, Amelia sighed and replied, “The Dao of Indifference has its laws like any other Dao path. The reason you cannot figure it out is because you do not practice it. You all practice Zen and Peace, but Indifference is completely different aspect of emotions.
As strong as it may look like, it cannot be used again and again. Ace is able to use it because he is holding back his pain and agony. Otherwise he would go berserk.”
The people were stunned, they did not expect Shi Lang to be in such pain over the death of his friend. Amelia continued as she gazed at the figure in the lightning sea, “The technique is inspired by a sacrificial technique in his sutra. However, it does not require him to burn blood or exhaust his soul. It takes his Dao Laws, in return of seven minutes of invincibility.
He is sacrificing the Dao Laws of Indifference to avenge his friend and kill the Demonic Cultivators.”
The Sovereigns were shocked, when they heard this. Yanshu commented, “It is just like Mandala using his Dao Of Space to attack, Heavenly Dragon.” freeweɓnovel.cm
A lady among them shook her head and said, “This child is unlike Mandala, he sacrificed his Dao laws to avenge his friend and not meet his selfish desires to comprehend a greater path like that monk. Do not compare them, or the Medicine God Valley will abandon you all.”
The threat of a big shot alchemist worked, and everyone turned to look at Shi Lang killing demonic cultivators with ease.
