Chapter 925: Massacre.
Under the command of the cosmic ghost Shi Lang was going to refine pills but just when Katar was about to let the Terran move freely, the Cosmic Ghost said, “Wait, I want all the others to see what I a good vessel I have. Send your people, invite them all over.”
Katar was surprised but then she sensed a faint vibration from Shi Lang’s head, and placed her paw on it and the next moment all the Phantom Cats rushed away. The Cosmic Ghost kept touching Shi Lang in different places, and asked, “What is this armor? It does not seem like a spiritual treasure?”
Katar answered, “Master, this guy is a solo cultivator, so how can he have a spiritual treasure on him? Even his space ring is very shabby, nothing like yours.”
Shi Lang has already hidden his maximum treasures inside his spiritual tattoo, as for the things he would need for his alchemy, they were inside his cheapest space ring. Shi Lang had kept the multiple space rings he looted over the time for moments like this.
Katar had been living in this world for a long time to know what this ‘so-called’ master of hers wanted. The Cosmic Ghosts considered her kind so lowly that they did not even set up a contract, and just used them as free slaves. This was why Katar was feeling no guilt towards this guy.
After a few hours, many of the Cosmic Ghosts gathered. Shi Lang counted about fifty of them. Katar had already told them that the colony here was this big, so he already had his plans.
Katar asked in a soft voice, “Master, should we scare him? That way he won’t put much struggle and the possession would become easier.”
The cosmic ghost looked at the black cat silently for a few minutes before he remarked, “You are quite intelligent today. Good, wake him up, I want to see if he will shiver in fear. However, if his state of mind is disturbed it might effect his pill refining capabilities?”
Katar said, “Then you can always deal with him after he is done pill refining, and its not like he can see you if you don’t want him to.”
This was going according to their plan. Katar had told Shi Lang that the Cosmic Ghosts could become one with the cosmic energy that comes from the starry sky. They can make themselves invisible at will. Only heavenly lightning was their weakness. The ghost chuckled in a eerie voice and said, “Good, I shall do just that. I think all of us should.”
That said, he looked around at the gathering of the cosmic ghosts and said, “I command you all to stay hidden in the void until he is done refining pills. Then we will have a lot of fun with him. Hahaha…” freewebnσvel.cѳm
All the cosmic ghosts began laughing loudly. Katar then pushed his head and the Terran came to a slightly open space, he took out his cauldron and a lot of herbs. The recipe he was going to try was called the Lightning Temper Pill. This pill would channel a burst of spiritual energy inside the body of the cultivator upon being consumed. It was very helpful in terms of body refinement.
Shi Lang’s eyes gradually gained the luster back and he was shocked. He turned around and jumped a little when he saw the bunch of black cats. Katar jumped up on his shoulder and smacked him in the back of his head as she said, “Get a grip of yourself human. My master is watching you from the void, you better refine a good pill if you want to live.”
Shi Lang shook his head but after a few dramatic slaps across his face, he nodded and decided to give into his fate. He waved his hand and the flame seed inside his Dantian spurt some flames and the cauldron began to heat up. The Terran then began to check the herb quantities with his hands to measure them.
As the process advanced he became serious and focused. He wasn’t afraid of the Cosmic Ghosts to attack him, he was the vessel of their leaders. How dare they have ideas about him?
Shi Lang made a few seals with his hands and chanted a few verses to make the scene dramatic, and after two hours, the cauldron emitted smoke with a lot of spiritual energy.
This world was rich in spiritual energy and the laws of Space would be easy to comprehend in this place, but the medical efficiency of the pills still had a striking effect on the cosmic ghosts. Shi Lang sensed a few presences move so close to him, that if he were to make a move, and these things were humans, their heads would roll.
The cauldron began to tremble and then all of a sudden, the lid flew off. Shi Lang reacted and caught the lid and he exclaimed, “NO!!!! My pillsss!!! Catch them.”
His face was covered with sweat and so was his back, he seemed to have consumed a lot of his spiritual energy so he was unable to dash after the flying pills. However, the Cosmic Ghosts were not, they wanted to know what pills were these, and there were ten pills, the greed overwhelmed them and they shot through the void.
What they did not notice were the black clouds gathering above in the sky that seemed to have no atmosphere. The leader of this group, Shi Lang’s main target was not easy to fool. After he caught a couple of pills he woke up from the momentary charm and looked up.
He yelled, “It’s a trap!”
Shi Lang smirked and said, “You came again to test my pills? You have no power to break them, just a bunch of bitches.”
The cosmic ghosts were shocked, but they could not move, the heavenly tribulation had locked the space for three thousand miles around them. How could they? So Shi Lang took out his sword and his spear covered in his golden lightning.
The sky thundered, and the streaks of red lightning flashed through the void hitting a few pills that were held by the Cosmic Ghosts. None of those who were struck made it out alive. The entire place was filled with horrific screams and wails.
Not only that, the cosmic ghosts that were so good at manipulating the spatial element were also rendered useless. Their bodies could not phrase in or out, but they were akin to normal creatures. To be honest, with a wild animal like Shi Lang, they were even weaker.
Raksha and Tribulation spear reaped lives and spilled ice blue blood on the floor. Shi Lang did not let even a single drop on his body. He just reaped lives. It was so anti climatic that Raksha even said, “You should just deal with your hands, it’s so boring to kill them like this, and I cannot even absorb the energy they have, what a waste of my excitement. Lang you have to compensate me later.”
Shi Lang only nodded to her, and after two hours, he took down thirty ghosts, but the rest were consumed by the lightning tribulation. Shi Lang walked up to check the leader of the Cosmic Ghosts who had a full body. However, he did not give up his guard when the creature was laying dead on the ground, or supposedly dead on the ground.
Shi Lang suddenly slashed his sword at the neck of the beast, and the Cosmic Ghost opened his eyes wide. He was laying down on the ground with a wound on his chest, but he was still trying to kill and possess Shi Lang.
The Terran beheaded the creature and said, “Phew, that’s done.”
Katar and the rest of the Phantom Cats watched him from a distance with visible fear in their eyes. The Terran asked, “We should get going, those lightning flashes might gather attention of the people.”
Katar nodded and Shi Lang said, “Bring all the dead bodies in this space ring.”
The cat delegated the task to the others of her kind and in two minutes, the scene was cleaned up and Shi Lang left the place with Katar and her kind. The massacre they witnessed just now, made them understand that Shi Lang was strong, but his mind was stronger.
…
Ishmail was standing outside the dry well and he was walking around with an anxious expression on his face. He did not expect Shi Lang to go in the well, and deal with these beasts.
Just when he was thinking about it, Shi Lang jumped out of the well, with a lots of black and gold cats following him. Ishmail was shocked and thought Shi Lang had been controlled by these cats, and they were all about to die.
The Terran saw this and waved his hand to keep the old man from kneeling, as he said, “The problem has been solved, I will take my leave now.”
Ishmail was shocked, and then he saw all the cats vanished inside a bag in the formers hand. It was a beast carrying bag. Given the size of the cats, Shi Lang could even store thousands of them, let alone a hundred. He then tossed a nade inside the well, and a gentle explosion took care of the spatial tunnel.
