Chapter 677 Crisis?

Chapter 677 Crisis?

Shi Lang stood amidst the piles of corpses of Demon Beast Kings. He was panting, and his forehead was trickling down with cold sweat. The song of death played by Fairy Moon Jade had ended, and the terran had achieved his goal. He slayed thirteen demon-beast kings that could turn the tables against their forces.

However, even at the cost of his spiritual energy, it was not yet the end. Shi Lang sensed impending doom and held himself together with whatever spiritual energy he had left inside him. He saw that the demon beasts did not approach him despite being mad from the overflow of the demonic energy inside them. The fear of death made them avoid him.

Shi Lang took out a few spirit-replenishing pills from his space ring and placed them in his mouth. The effect of the pills was instant, but the quantity that he needed to keep on fighting could not be regained with just these. He took a deep breath and said, "Your Excellency, the crisis is inevitable."

The words confused the major military figures, and to clear the haze, a dignified voice replied to Shi Lang, "Do not worry, we are here. Those old cowards of the demonic race will not have a chance to turn the table."

Shi Lang nodded, but his mind was still not peaceful. He knew that despite the assurance made by Tian Long, it would not be easy to fend off against high-level demonic beasts. The terran contemplated things on the spot because he found his body cramped all over, and moving was painful.

He wondered how to defend himself if attacked by some high-level demon beast. When he was in thought, a roar caused the ground to shiver, with a thump reverberating through his body. Shi Lang gulped and asked, 'Raksha, what should I do?'

Raksha replied to his consciousness, 'I am also thinking about that because until you swing my blade, I will not be able to unleash my complete strength to deal with the high-level demon beasts. Who told you to dance to that song, you idiot? This is what happens when you get carried away in chasing fame.'

Shi Lang sighed. He was in the heat of battle and did not think about what he should do or not. Although the killing aura on him could scare away the low-level demon beasts, this would not last long either. Gradually, his aura will calm down, and he will become a lamb on the chopping board.

The ground shook from the roar earlier when he said, "There is a demon beast emperor heading our way." n./OVelb1n

Tian Long appeared beside him and nodded. Shi Lang cast him a side glance and said in a voice they could only hear, "Old man, send me back."

Tian Long sneered and asked, "Why? Are you scared of death now, Ace?"

Shi Lang narrowed his gaze and said, "I am never afraid of death, and you know that better than the rest. I do not wish to die helplessly. Please remember whom you owe your life to, or people might take you for ungrateful."

Tian Long snorted and looked at the Terran coldly, saying, "Do you think I cannot kill you right now?"

Shi Lang smiled and said, "You can try to do that, and I will ensure that I will nullify your cultivation before I die. Do you understand?"

Tian Long kept gazing into Shi Lang's eye, and he knew that this guy was not bluffing like him. Tian Long did not mean to harm Shi Lang, but he was only messing around with him. He did not expect Shi Lang to come back with a serious death threat.

He sighed and took out a pill from his space ring. He said, "This pill has a miraculous effect of countering the effects of the song of death on the target's body."

Shi Lang was shocked, and Tian Long said, "When the two of us ascended here, we both struggled a lot and had to lean on the song of death to carve a place for ourselves. During that time, we had consecutively been incapacitated. So, an alchemist specially procured this pill we made friends with. It works and allows one to recover a bit. Take it, quick."

Shi Lang opened his mouth, and Tian Long tossed the pill in his mouth. The two of them did not speak. Tian Long stood before Shi Lang while the latter stood behind him and silently healed his body.

Tian Long sighed and mumbled, "When I joke, you become so serious, and then you call me old."

Shi Lang replied, "You must check your expressions and tone while joking, old man."

He did not bother with the sovereign anymore. Tian Long waved his hand, and a few men appeared beside him. The people stood behind Tian Long in silence, and they were the generals of the dragon army. Tian Long said, "I can sense seven Demon beast emperors. Bring me their corpses."

The five generals nodded, vanished behind him, and appeared in the void. Shi Lang did not care. He was healing himself. The question was how the five Immortal Emperors would fend off the attacks of seven Demon Beast Emperors, and the thumping tremors indicated that these guys were big.

Shi Lang took a deep breath and watched everything unfold with his spirit sense. He saw seven behemoths walking toward the front. Their black bodies were blended in the dark of the night. Shi Lang heard Tian Long say, "The generals of the Dragon Army must be of Immortal Emperor Level, but they should be able to fight against an Immortal Sovereign. These people are what I have nurtured personally. They have faced all the tribulation they possibly could and are the only ones left from a group of twenty most talented people I scouted for."

Shi Lang did not reply, and he watched as the five people held their weapons and rushed forward. They all initiated a direct assault campaign and resisted the strong beast emperors. The scenery was a mess, and Shi Lang silently watched everything.

Tian Long beside him had created a forcefield to rectify the shock waves coming from the clash. After fifteen minutes, one of the Immortal Emperors suddenly turned around and appeared behind the other general, stabbed his spear through the back of his comrade,

The people were shocked, and at the same time, a similar event took place among the team of Immortal Emperors standing beside Immortal Sovereign Zither Soul. A lady took out a long knife and struck at Zither Soul. However, this woman was not clueless when she saw someone from the Tian Long faction defecting to the demonic side. She was sure someone in her group would also be a defector.

She waved her hand as soon as the defector surfaced. The powers of an Immortal Sovereign were on a completely different level, and the traitor had no chance to act against it.

Fairy Moon Jade gazed at the person coldly and palmed her dantian. The spiritual essence was vaporized, and her dantian was broken. The traitor opened her eyes wide; she had not expected Zither Soul to act so decisively.

On the other side, Tian Long was enraged. He vanished from his place and grabbed the immortal emperor from the back of his neck as if he were a pup. Tian Long used his spirit energy to save the injured person's life, and then he kicked the dantian of the traitor.

Tian Long said, "You guys, get back. I will deal with them."

The immortal generals wanted to say something in their defense, but they knew that if they were to annoy Tian Long, he would start killing them. The sovereign was not someone to be messed with. Tian Long was amiable, but once he lost his temper, the blood in his veins would turn to ice, and he would erase the problem from root and stem.

The immortal emperors retreated, and Tian Long said, "Golden dragon slashing the heavens."

Then he waved his sword, and a loud dragon roar echoed in the surroundings. Even Shi Lang inside the shield sensed a strong pressure from this move. He took a deep breath and thought, 'I need to stop messing with him.'

The roar was not why he felt pressured, but the sword intent condensed into a golden dragon and chopped through the thirteen demon emperors. This level of strength was something that Shi Lang dreamt of achieving. He sighed as he realized it would be long before he could gain such strength.

Tian Long easily slayed the beasts, but his rage was not yet quenched. He roared to the sky and called out, "Scum of darkness, I dare you to fight me. Come on!"

Following this, the world suddenly felt very silent. The demon beasts charging to the human side froze in their spots, and some even lay down on the ground. Shi Lang sensed his hair stand up. He mumbled, 'Fuck.'
