Shi Lang watched as people addressed Shi Tao as the Shura Princess, and he smiled faintly. Shi Tao was his first successor; she held the inheritance from his cultivation technique in the lower realm. He was proud of her because the girl had mastered his technique and made it her own. Her techniques were different, and the way she used tactics was different.
The similarity lay in the core of their execution. Shi Lang had taught his daughter the skill of impeccable execution, and Shi Tao had followed this method, her efficiency was crazy good.
As she fought with Omi Shuan, her speed was fast, and she maintained a good distance from the opponent. His spear was unable to touch her, but the whip held by the lady was akin to a snake sneaking up at its prey from all sides. After being pushed around, the young man said, "Serpent Spear."
Behind him manifested a big serpent with fiery eyes and amber scales. The spiritual manifestation of the beast was very lifelike, and it charged at Shi Tao. The girl used her spiritual power to attack the snake; however, she was being pushed back.
Shi Lang watched calmly when everyone else was frowning and worrying about Shi Tao. The males in the stands raised a ruckus, calling Omi a loser for attacking a female contender, acting like lunatics from some religious cult.
Shi Tao blocked an attack from the serpent and was pushed back in the void. She stood on the side and said, "It is time to fight you."
The next moment, Shi Tao took a stance and moved forward quickly. Her speed was so quick that Omi Shuan could not even spot her shadow. Shi Tao was attacking the snake and moving closer at a fast pace.
Amelia and Shi Lang exchanged glances as they smiled. Ying Yu asked, "What is this style? It is so quick and effective."
Amelia replied, "This is called the hero stance. The predecessor of my husband was the first person to use this style to fend off a strong enemy. Then when my husband confronted that predecessor in a battle, he defeated the latter with his own moves. Later on, Tao picked it up from a young age. She even improvised the loopholes in the style."
Ying Yu smiled and said, "Your daughter is a genius like you." Amelia smiled but did not reply.
...
In the void, Lao Xu said, "This child has a special physique."
The rest of the people nodded, and Tian Long said, "You all know that her father belongs to my army?"
The people all glared at him, and Sovereign Amethyst said, "Do you think that her father will hamper her future if you tried to keep her in the heavenly dragon army forcefully?"
Tian Long shook his head while the other people smiled as they saw a chance to rope in Shi Tao. These old people were always looking for strong disciples who could handle the responsibilities of their armies and influence. Shi Tao was a fine candidate for that.
Tian Long replied, "I will not be forcing her to do anything that would be against her will. You people know the way I work has more freedom than you all have combined. So, let us not talk about this. She will side with us when the time comes."
Shi Tao nodded and asked, "But what will I do?"
Amelia whipped out her sniper rifle and said, "Here you go. Bring up the rear and support us in need?"
Shi Tao chuckled and said, "Just like old times?"
Amelia took out her sword and said, "Yeah, well I miss my team. I wonder how they are doing."
Shi Tao replied, "Well, they are all doing good. I estimate that in a few years, the Terran frontal forces will be ascending too. They will leave behind a few people to look after the young ones. Also, Commander Silence will be coming over next. She was just a touch away."
Amelia nodded and replied, "Do not tell your dad about it. He will call dibs on her to join his team."
Shi Tao chuckled as she learned how to use the sniper rifle, and then they saw the black dot turn into a full-sized void portal. Thousands of Demonic cultivators jumped in the arena. These people were not average Demon Lords, but their number was going to be a troublesome thing for Shi Lang and the rest to handle.
The Terran said, "Lightning Domain."
All twelve of his avatars moved, and they placed their domains all around the place. Shi Lang began to slay demonic cultivators in his sight as if he was chopping carrots and radishes. The others were also not slow; they began fighting, and Shi Tao became a marksman with deadly precision.
She was being guarded by Yang Niao. Shi Tao asked, "Sir, you know my father, right?"
Yang Niao replied, "Yes, young mistress."
Shi Tao was surprised with the address, then Yang Niao said, "We should talk after the battle. I believe you will like to know more about your father's identity here in the immortal plain."
These words sparked up Shi Tao's curiosity. The battle continued, and blood spilled like rivers flowing through the dry grasslands.
Tian Long stood in the void with the rest of the Immortal Sovereigns and asked an enemy, "Tell me something, why do you people wish to die so badly? Why do you chase after us from time to time? Do you not think that living a few days longer is a good thing for you? Have you finally realized that there is only one end to the demonic path? Old centipede."
Before him in the void stood an old man wearing a black cloak. The person chuckled and said, "Heavenly worm, you sure have a vivid imagination. This time, we will definitely take your head off."
Tian Long took out his sword and said, "Sure, try your best."
