Chapter 464 Clash.

Shi Lang said nothing when the demon mocked him and threatened his daughter. His expression surprised everyone, whether it was the allied military or the demon. They could not understand why this guy was calm. Unity furrowed her brows and wanted to take a step forward when Shi Lang turned his back to the demon and walked up to Shi Tao.

He waved his hand to Amelia and told her to back away. Sitting beside Shi Tao, he said, "You still have three seals on you. I will undo them, and your physique will awaken completely. The spirit energy in the void will swarm to you. However, I need you to control it to push out the demonic energy. Can you do it?"

Shi Tao was sane and nodded while holding a whimper in her throat. Shi Lang pressed his hands together and then formed a few seals. The next moment, the spirit energy around them entered Shi Tao's body and began undoing the seal.

The people did not interrupt, but they all put up a guard to stop the demon from disturbing the proceedings. The monster was angry at how this human turned back on him. Did he not take him seriously, wasn't this mocking his majesty?

The demon raised his hand, and the allied forces prepared their weapons. The demon ran his gaze around, and the people gazed at him warily. He chuckled and said, "Do you think you can stop me if I want to kill this guy?"

The people did not reply, but Shi Lang did not stand silently. He said, "You can try to attack me, but you will die all your clan if I survive. I promise you that. By the way, I never asked for your name. What are you called?"

The demon master raised his brows and said, "You seem very confident. I shall wait and see what tricks you are trying to pull. Also, I am called Zavir."

Shi Lang nodded and then stood up from his spot. Shi Tao was glowing with golden light, and Amelia stood beside her to guard the girl. Unity said, "Why are we talking? Can we get over with it?"

Zavir chuckled and said, "A masterless spirit and a bunch of insects at the end of their lives want to go against me? Foolish."

Shi Lang cracked his neck and said, "Do not listen to his bullshit. He is scared and is trying to force us to fight him in single combat so that he can gain the advantage. He is a manipulative demon, and that is not sarcasm."

The people nodded, and Unity flashed. She had been holding back her desire to fight this guy for a long time. As soon as she moved from her place, a bunch of sharp sword streaks flashed near Zavir.

The demon master smiled and moved to the side to avoid the almost unseeable attack. Unity was not weak, and another wave followed Zavir. This time the sword spirit attacked in a flurry, and her sword streaks were going after every spot where the enemy could dodge.

However, even when Zavir got hit by a sword streak, he was not injured. At least, that was what he projected. Shi Lang said, "All of you aim for his left ribcage. Unity managed to rattle it."

The people began focused fire, and Zavir had no option but to expose his right side with a guard. The people were not fools, and quickly the attack direction changed. Unity led a sneak attack on the left side of the demon. The people retreated after a sudden deep breath by Zavir.

They were all cautious, and they were correct. Zavir exhaled a black fog and vanished from his spot. The people were looking for him in the void. When Shi Lang said, "Do not use your eyes. Follow your instincts."

He had yet to attack the enemy even once. Zavir used a skill that allowed him to vanish from the sight of the people, and if not for Shi Lang's remark, Helia, an expert from the twelve spears, would have died, along with him, Empress Neytiri would have gotten injured critically too.

However, despite avoiding the critical hit, the person was still injured. The next moment, demonic energy began invading his mind and heart. Neytiri reacted and pasted a purification talisman on the person. However, the effect was not good, so she took out three more talismans and finally resolved the crisis Helia faced.

She was quick to relay the news to the rest of the people. They all took similar actions but gradually found that the invasion speed depended on the intensity of the attack. Unity was the only one following Zavir through the crowd of allies with precision. She was the reason half of his attacks were failing before they could even be released against the people in the allied forces.

Shi Tao suddenly sighed and opened her eyes. The glow on her body was gradually fading, and her condition was improving. At this moment, Amelia said, "Lang, are we going or not?"

Shi Lang smiled faintly and said, "We are."

Shi Tao sat up, and Lili appeared next to her. Shi Lang had called her to pull back from the battle and look after Shi Tao. At the current rate, it will not be long before a significant amount of soldiers fall into the possession of the dark energy. Shi Lang and Amelia vanished from their spot.

The battle had shifted from the void to the planet's outer atmosphere. Zavir was trying to lure the people into fighting him on the planet's crust, where the strongest demonic energy was. Landing on this planet will mean suicide.

Shi Lang and Amelia knew about this, so they appeared on a lower level. Unity quickly sensed them and relayed a message with telepathic communication. Every Mahayana expert was told to pull back. The people were surprised, but they did not deny the command. Shi Lang did not leave them the room too.

The next moment, the entire space began to shake slightly as Shi Lang and Amelia unleashed their pressure. The void around them distorted, and Zavir could not help but cast a deeper gaze. He said, "So you managed to visit my planet and fool me. Such a daring couple you are."

Shi Lang replied, "You should have seen that I did not fear you just a few minutes ago. Do you think a bunch of brainless enslaved creatures you have raised does not bother me?"

Zavir narrowed his gaze and said, "I will cripple you, then kill your kin in front of you."

Shi Lang did not bother and took a sword from his spiritual tattoo. Amelia also used a spiritual tattoo imprinted on her wrist and took out a whip. This was her choice of weapon, while Shi Lang used his shura sword. The blade was no longer crimson but carried a slight tint of black in it. Shi Lang quenched the crowd with demon blood, strengthening the sword.

While Amelia had a similar effect on her whip, it was like a tail moving independently. In these past years, she had developed the weapon to the point where it gave birth to a weapon spirit. The whip was crafted by some treasures they had discovered over the years on their travel.

Shi Lang and Amelia exchanged a glance and then flicked their weapons lightly. A boom and a swish sound filled the atmosphere. Followed by a dull grunt. Zavir, who had been running around like a myriad, stood still behind Unity.

The sword spirit was started, and then she saw a deep wound across Zavir's torso, running diagonally from his left abdomen to his right shoulder. That was not all; his face seemed to be mangled by blunt impact. Unity realized that it was Shi Lang and Amelia. However, Zavir was not done with just this.

His body was healing to a speed visible to the naked eye. The demon looked at the couple and said, "I was thinking about what is different about you two. To think someone will manage to scratch upon the profundity of dao. Not only that, you even managed to master the essence of your sutra completely. All this in just sixty, sixty-five years of life. Impressive."

However, Shi Lang was not having these complement from the enemy and vanished from his position once again. Zavir did not bother to pay attention to the rest of the people, only Amelia and Shi Lang here posed him a threat.

Well, he was wrong. Unity sighed as she watched the demon expose his back to her. She said, "Emperor slashing the heaven."

This was a move that Tian Long used back when he was facing the heavenly tribulation for ascension. The slashed made Zavir sense a tingling sensation unknown to him. The blade left a deep gash on the torso of the demon, exposing the black bones underneath his flesh. However, Zavir burst into laughter and said, "Finally some fun. Come on."
