Chapter 546 Killer Ace.
Shi Lang stood under the lightning shower, absorbing the energy and consolidating his realm as an immortal general. The terran was challenging the heavens with his physique.
While his sword spirit was raging at Tian Long, challenging him to a sword fight. The Immortal Sovereign knew that Raksha had some grievances against him. He gazed at the Sword Spirit and said, "Do you know the gap between our realms?"
Raksha smirked and said, "Oh, do you want to fight with that guy in your realm? Such is your pride, right?"
Tian Long sensed a twitch develop at the corner of his lips. He said, "Do you think a demon will lower his realm when fighting with your master?"
Raksha smiled and said, "If a demon expert can get past you and attack my master, then it will be a shame for you. However, you have bought up a good point. He is an Immortal General, and you can fight him as an Immortal King."
Tian Long was surprised by the confidence in her voice. He asked, "Do you think he can defeat me as an Immortal General?"
Raksha nodded, and the lightning streak landed on Shi Lang's forehead. The young man channeled all the energy he absorbed to the spiritual weapon. The sword above his head gradually became smaller and more condensed. Tian Long watched the situation and said, "If Shi Lang can condense a spiritual weapon as big as my palm. I will see if he is worthy of fighting with me."
That said, Tian Long condensed a sword above his palm. The sword was as big as his palm and looked surreal. The aura made Long Shan and Sect Master Ling shiver. They also had Spiritual Weapons, but they were not this small.
Raksha sighed as she looked at the spiritual weapon. She said, "If Shi Lang condensed anything bigger than yours by a hairs width. I swear in the name of heavens that I will disown him as my master."
Tian Long was shocked and did not expect Shi Lang to have gained such trust from the Sword Spirit. He asked, "Why do you trust him so much?"
Although his realm was high, he was secluded from the Secular world. Raksha's display of trust made his heart fluctuate. He could not help but ask. The sword spirit replied, "He is not holding me to conquer the heavens. He holds me to protect the people he loves and to defeat himself. I have seen him suffer all those things you just mentioned, what he sacrificed for billions of people without relation with him. As for the other things, you know it very well."
The other things in her mouth were Shi Lang's old life. Tian Long wanted to say something but could not get himself to say anything. He knew that Shi Lang had sacrificed a lot of things for the sake of humanity, and even he, the heavenly genius Tian Long, could not get himself to do this.
He nodded and said, "I understand. You have chosen well, Unity."
The Sword Spirit retorted, "Raksha, my name is Raksha."
Tian Long sighed and turned to look at the man standing under the lightning shower. The spiritual weapon over his head was shirking slowly. The lightning from the skies pushed him a few meters back with every clash, but he was not injured. The bruises and charred skin did not bother him.
He channeled the cultivation sutra to the limits, and his spiritual weapon began to shrink visibly. The three feet sword took an hour to reduce by one foot. Time passed, and after three bolts, the lightning stopped.
However, Shi Lang stood in the same place with his eyes closed and his body covered with lightning sparks. After a few hours, the sparks were gone. The sword above his head has shrunk down to three inches. Tian Long was shocked and awed, and he could not believe that this young man had not only condensed the spiritual weapon but also made it smaller than his own.
Raksha smiled and said, "Is he worthy of fighting you now?"
Tian Long did not reply and would disrespect the young man by comparing himself with him. He said, "I take back what I said. I did not expect him to be so talented."
The Sword Spirit nodded and said, "Would you like to fight with him now?"
Tian Long nodded and walked over, and came before Shi Lang. He said, "Would you like to fight?"
Shi Lang opened his eyes, filled with a glint of lightning, and said, "I thought you would never ask."
Tian Long chuckled, saying, "Come, show me what you've got."
Shi Lang smiled and stretched out his hand. Raksha vanished from the void, and her body appeared in his palm. He said, "I do not plan to dance with you. You have been here long and must have skills I do not have. Let's compare the way of the sword."
Tian Long thought and took out a sword from his space ring. The sword appeared normal, but the minimalistic approach in design was high quality. She said, "Your blade is top-notch, yet you do not take care of it."
Tian Long was surprised and said, "This was confiscated from my disciple. The sword is not suitable for him. He practices spears."
Shi Lang nodded and said, "Come then."
Tian Long said, "If I made a move and you lost, I will not give you another chance."
Shi Lang smirked and asked, "You can come over as strong as you want to. I will not be asking for second chances."
Tian Long vanished from his spot and appeared before Shi Lang. His sword was coming down at Shi Lang, but the Terran moved his hand. His sword's blunt side collided with Tian Long's changing trajectory, the terran turned to the side, and his foot stamped Tian Long on the side of his knee.
The impact made Tian Long lose his balance. Shi Lang did not move back; his sword was still above the opponent's neck. The terran did not hesitate and slashed down at Tian Long's neck.
The immortal sovereign was shocked out of his belief. Shi Lang did not let him use his strength at all. The two elders were sweating when they saw Shi Lang attacking like this.
They were worried about him, but now they were shocked. Tian Long suddenly vanished from his spot. Shi Lang seemed to have grown eyes on his sword and turned around with his sword slashing at the person before him.
Suddenly, Tian Long appeared behind Shi Lang, and his sword was slashing the void too. He was not surprised by Shi Lang' to predict where he would appear because Raksha could sense his presence.
Tian Long did not expect that sensed a terrifying pressure when his eyes met Shi Lang's. His mind was dazed for a moment, and at that moment, Shi Lang appeared before him in the void with his sword resting on his nape.
He smirked and said, "You lost."
Tian Long shivered. His spiritual pressure climbed. His performance angered him. Shi Lang flickered away, and the spiritual pressure from Tian Long's body exploded. The terran asked, "Oi, calm down, do not scare away the people."
Tian Long woke up and said, "Pardon me. I will take my leave now. Shi Lang, I hope to see you in the Heavenly Rankings. That will give you sufficient experience of Immortal King level fighters."
Shi Lang nodded, and then he watched Tian Long walk into a portal. The terran said, "Go safe."
Tian Long did not reply and walked away from the place in a hurry. Shi Lang looked at Sect Master Ling and said, "Sect Master, they even alerted you?"
Sect Master Ling woke from the daze and said, "Well, yes. Now that things are settled here, I will return to the sect. Peak Master Mei should be waiting for your news."
Shi Lang cupped his fists, and the sect master left. Long Shan woke from the daze and said, "You, kid, you hid very deeply. To think that you will even hold a heavenly spirit treasure."
Shi Lang wanted to say something when the old man said, "You do not have to say anything to me. I will keep it a secret, but the rest of the world might not be this good. Do not take her out until you have reached the Immortal Emperor level."
The terran nodded, and Long Shan said, "You should travel with the rest of the disciples. I will go ahead."
The terran did not say anything as he still had a few things to deal with here. One of those things was to reap the benefits of the blood he had absorbed. The sword spirit said, "Lang, you have seventy-five percent of the blood essence still left unabsorbed. What do you intend to do with it?"
Shi Lang replied, "I intend to absorb it, but not now. I will seal it for now, and then I would like to go to the secret realm and see what it holds for me. Fusing the essence there will help me more."
Raksha nodded and said, "You acted like a Killer Ace today."
