The battle between Allure and Shi Lang ended with a draw, although Allure had reached the peak by refining her blood Shi Lang had managed to catch up with her thanks to his Dao Law fusion. Not only that but he has also been refining his blood by inscribing Dao Laws on the cells.
The process was long and Shi Lang had yet to reach even five percent fusion with his blood, but he was already strong enough to go and pick a bone with the Legendary beasts in the Titan Mountain range.
After the duel, the Terran imparted the technique to everyone in the Asura hall, he wanted them to become stronger in the coming couple of years. His technique and rhythm to fuse spiritual energy with Dao Laws was perfect and it did not harm anyone. They did not have to be overly careful with their progress.
Shi Lang did emphasize on everyone being careful. What shocked the Asura Hall Members was the fast progress of the Terrans. They did not use too many resources, and did not need much guidance, but using the techniques in the Asura Hall archives, they all have reached the Immortal King realm in two years.
Yes, it has been now two years after Shi Lang and Allure spared. At this moment, they were all gathered in the training field once again, because today was the day when the frontal forces of the Asura Hall were going to leave their sect and head to the front lines. Only the people below Immortal Lord level were asked to stay behind.
Shi Lang looked at everyone and said, "All of you who are present here to leave look at the people who will stay back here at home. These people will be our future and I wish to watch them grow stronger."
Yu Xeidi and Hao Mei were standing together with OB-One beside them. Shi Lang had decided to leave behind Allure as a sect guardian, with Yang Niao. He did tell the two of them to work in rotations so that they will not miss out and also become stronger.
Shi Lang watched everyone looking at him intently, and he continued, "So, tell me brothers and sisters, do you wish to watch the future unfold?"
"Yes, Hall master!"
Shi Lang asked sonorously, "Do you wish to come back with your friends or glory?"
"Coming back with friends is glory, Hall master!"
Shi Lang nodded and said, "Then tell me once again, what are we?"
"Asura Legion!"
The ground trembled from the cumulative cheering of the people. Shi Lang smiled and said, "Suit up, and board the vessel. Let's kill some demons."
"Hoorah!"
Shi Lang chuckled at this war call. He looked at Hunk and Shrapnel, these two people have gained a lot of fame in the sect because of the military missions they narrated to people and even displayed high quality holograms to support the stories. They had been told to teach the people how to achieve the optimal level of using the battle suit and Mecha.
These people were no longer a small faction. Two hundred Immortal Kings, and five Immortal Emperors, all with the Dao and Spirit Fusion in place. They had Five mechsuits, and they also had battle suits for everyone.
There suits were painted red and black, a classic Shi Lang style. However, their was only one red suit, and that belonged to Shi Lang.
The people boarded the ship and Shi Lang coaxed his disciples that he will be back soon. Commander Silence, and the rest have carried a lot of important parts for a sky-ship. OB-One took time off to assemble the ship and also crafted many mech puppets.
Shi Lang sat in the command chair and let out a groan. Hunk and the rest chuckled as they saw him enjoying the feeling. The terran said, "Run a checklist."
Hunk replied, "Engine at full capacity, captain."
They arrived at the front in a few minutes. They stopped above the Heavenly Dragon encampment and Tian Long's generals appeared in the void. Shi Lang was about to stand up when Shi Tao said, "I will handle them."
She vanished from his side and Carole joked, "Aww, Lang got undermined."
Shi Lang rolled his eyes and said, "You are just jealous, I am happy she is strong."
The people bantered around, even though they saw each other after ages, they did not have any distance. This was a bond between comrades who shared life and death.
...
The generals outside the ship were surprised when they saw Shi Tao appear on the bow of the vessel. They cupped their fist and greeted, "General Shi. Greetings!"
Shi Tao cupped her fists and returned the greeting but then she said, "You all do not have to be courteous with me. I am not here as a general but as a member of the Asura Hall. We hope to position our vessel in the skies above your camp as we charge forward to the front lines."
The generals were surprised and then they exchanged glances. One of them asked, "May I ask if Shura Emperor is there with you?"
Shi Tao nodded and the general replied, "I apologize for hesitating, please feel free to ask us for anything. The cavalry has just returned and is still resting after a month long battle trip. You can use our position to fight."
Shi Tao thanked them and conveyed the details to Shi Lang.
...
The Terran said, "All troops, descend."
Lullaby pressed a few buttons on the console and multiple hatch doors appeared. Two hundred members dressed in uniform suits and helmets got down quickly. The people from Heavenly Dragon Army, and the surrounding forces were watching curiously. They all couldn't help but wonder what sort of armor were these people wearing.
As the troops descended, Shi Lang said, "Tao, inform Yan Xue and her team to erect teleportation arrays. Call in the cavalry mounts."
Shi Tao relayed the command, and Hunk asked, "Commander, what do you intend to do?"
Shi Lang smiled and said, "You will see."
...
On the ground, Yan Xue and two other emperors quickly placed small poles embedded with spiritual stones in the ground. They had rehearsed this pattern and after a few minutes and rechecks, they channeled spiritual energy in the array pattern. Suddenly, a void tunnel appeared, and Yan Xue replied to Shi Tao, "Tao, it's done. Have them come over."
Shi Tao replied, "Battle beasts coming right up."
The spirit beasts that Shi Lang had rescued from the Yama's tomb had been tamed with great effort, and fifty beast kings were selected to form a battle cavalry with cooperation. Other than two hundred Immortal Kings who were standing on the ground in attention. Soon, people began to emerge from the teleportation circle.
They all had a strong aura of battle, and after the two hundred fifty people assembled. Shi Lang appeared in the void and said, "Asura Legion, attention!"
The forces that will change the way of warfare had appeared.
