Chapter 185

Shi Lang did not know the impact of his actions, but he was sure of one thing, his skills were growing faster than ever before. The spiritual energy was like a health supplement and he was malnourished.

The benefits of the spirit energy were not only to strengthen his body but his mind and his entire being. One whole day had passed, and Shi Lang had taken down ten camps on his own even if the enemy had heavy weaponry, they did not seem to have any use against this guy.

In just one day, Shi Lang had directly broken through the third realm of spiritual cultivation and his Terran cultivation was at the seven-star level. You can imagine the speed. He was swallowing the spiritual energy and using the battles to digest the effects. It may seem like it was too exaggerated, but that is what happens when an old monster wakes up in the true sense.

This speed of his advance had shocked the enemy and the royal family was alerted. However, the generals and the commanders, none stood a chance in front of him. The two princes happened to be out of Arcadia, and they have received the news that the capital was attacked, so they decided to make their way back and were now standing inside the imperial court.

…

The two princes wore a crimson and black armor, their burly physiques looked very daunting, however, they did not look half as strong as their old man sitting on the throne. They were deliberately suppressing themselves. The elder prince asked, “Where is the third brother?”

An old-looking lion said, “Captured by the allied forces of Neomon and Terrans.”

The second prince asked, “Then, do you mean to say that we are at war?”

The latter shook his head and said, “At this moment, the Galactic council has not made a move, and neither the allied forces have sent out an envoy. We sent out someone to confirm their intentions and they said they only defended themselves and will not communicate with us directly, if they need, then an Overseer from the Galactic council will be called over. We typically cannot dig deeper in their minds, after all, it was the third prince who initiated the battle, and they are still within their territory.”

The two princes nodded and began to think when suddenly they heard a guard coming in, this guard knelt to the ground and said, “Your Majesty, that reaper has arrived in front of the palace.”

The people were shocked, the emperor growled and asked, “What do you mean?”

The guard said, “Your majesty, that reaper is standing in front of the palace gates and he is challenging all of us.”

“Then why do you not engage in battle with him?”, asked the emperor.

The soldier gulped and said, “I was the only one left from the outer patrol and he asked me to run inside and tell you of the situation while he…”

“While he what?”, ask the first prince.

The guard replied, “While he plays with the other guards.”

The second prince stepped forward and with a punch, he killed the guard. He let out an enraged roar and said, “I will now go out and kill this bastard.”

The first prince said, “Second, play calmly. Do not look down on him, this guy was able to break through the ranks very easily and sustained the onslaught of the heavy armament. Even more so, his hands are stained with twenty thousand soldiers. You need to be mindful.”

The second prince nodded and picked up a large hatchet-style blade, and walked out of the courtroom. The Emperor said, “Come, let us go out to watch it all too.”

His eyes were cold and gleaming, and the tone sent shivers down the spine of the people. They all bowed and moved, following their emperor. However, as soon as they went out. A shadow appeared from behind in the lobby. This figure was none other than Amelia.

She and the rest of the team had already sneaked inside when Shi Lang took the fight with the patrol group, but the latter wanted to make sure that there was nobody to pay attention to them, so he came forward to kill the soldiers.

The team had a complete map of the palace. Quinn and the rest were responsible for assassinating the people inside the palace, while Amelia was responsible for planting bombs in the throne room. Last night, Cara had contacted them and said, “The people in the palace must die and the throne should be destroyed, I will give you my life, but if you failed then I will take yours.”

Although Shi Lang was not very happy to accommodate the threats of this little girl, he did not have any other options. That said, this was in line with their goals. Shi Lang assured her that he will take on the people and he will kill them.

Amelia was very quick in with her hands and she set bombs below every single chair in the throne room. Not only that, she had the pillars rigged as well.

…

The second prince walked outside the palace gates and found Shi Lang standing in front of him with a chipped sword in his hands. The young Terran stood wearing a black suit, and mask. The aura radiating from Shi Lang was so notorious that even the emperor, who was watching the two people from the wall of the palace, felt his heart shake.

The second prince raised his blade and wanted to taunt the guy but Shi Lang was not in the mood to chat. His figure flashed and in a blink, he appeared in front of the second prince with his sword slashing at the enemy.

The second prince was shocked, his pupils constricted and he raised his sword to defend against the incoming attack haphazardly.

CLANG!!!

The battlefield echoed with the metallic sound. The people all shivered, not because of the sound but because the second prince was pushed back by three-meter and it left skid marks on the ground. He had to take five steps to wave off the impact.

The second prince sensed his hand going numb. He raised his head to look at his opponent but Shi Lang was nowhere to be seen, however, this did not give him any relief, but a fright. Shi Lang, like a ghost, appeared behind him.

The second prince turned around, trying to backhand slash at this guy but at this same moment, the first prince had picked up a gun and shot at Shi Lang’s back.

The phaser beam and the blade came at Shi Lang at the same time, if someone looked behind the mask they would see his disappointed expression. His figure flashed one more time and Shi Lang vanished.

The phaser beam met the blade held by the second prince, but the blade melted and the phaser beam passed through the body of the second prince. The emperor held the wall with his palm and clenched it so hard that the stone cracked away.

While the First prince roared. The second prince was his real brother and he died under his own hands, he was maddened with grief and rage. He turned to look around and with the gun in his hands, he jumped down the wall. He did not stop by the second prince who was still amidst a fall with a hole in his chest.

The first prince began to fire the gun in his hand and Shi Lang began to flicker dodging the beams marginally. Shi Lang was not scared he was just using these people for practice. Inside, his team was killing the royal family.

…

Cara had now begun to telecast live battle images to the Terran fleet. Thanks to the multiple satellites being focused on the same location and transmitting the same data on the same frequency.

Stevenson was shocked to see the way Shi Lang was fighting, the terrans were aware of their own limits better than anyone. Suddenly, the old man contacted a person on his communicator, “Charlotte.”

The lady replied, “Sir.”

Stevenson asked, “You told me that, Lang took that serum. Are you sure that it does not have an extreme effect on a person?”

Charlotte was confused and then she nodded and said, “With all the data acquired till now sir, the effect is not more than boosting a guy for only one-star level. Why do you ask?”

“According to the records, Lang’s ability is still a secret, but now I think it could be a body enhancement ability. He is able to dodge the phaser beams.”, said the old man.

Charlotte heard this and lost her composure, as she said, “Fuck.”

Stevenson raised his eyebrow and cleared his throat, the lady apologized and said, “I apologize sir. By the way, what is the data till now, how is the incursion?”

The old man said with a somber face, “The team sent to Arcadia has infiltrated the royal palace.”

Charlotte was surprised and asked, “Any casualties?”

Stevenson shook his head and said, “Lang drew the aggro, while the team sneaked even and acted covertly. Lang has taken down twenty thousand lives with all means that you can think of. Bombing, poison, hijack, and air strikes. He even used the self-destruction method on a base. What sort of monster is this kid?”

Charlotte gulped and said, “This number alone can get him to the Ace Tournament.”

Stevenson opened his eyes wide and said, “Indeed. Let us see when he comes back.”
