Chapter 649 Battle Begins.
Lin Kang moved along with the Terran, and they located another group of Wang Family elders. There were four disciples and one Immortal King. Shi Lang used his rifle and sniped the knees of the four disciples while Lin Kang fought and dealt with the Immortal King.
The three teams of two people communicated through the communication jades. By the evening, they had managed to finish the task. However, the Wang Family had been alerted.
The old Immortal King, Old Yin, had even sacrificed his life to kill one of the enemies. From the reports, Shi Lang found that the enemy used a forbidden technique and was about to kill them when Old Yin decisively charged at the man and exploded his core.
It was a big loss on their side, and Shi Lang was sure that the Wang Family would take action. He told everyone to regroup near the Wang Family Mansion. The people were surprised, but he said, "Seniors, we do not have time to waste. If the Wang Family decides to run away, it will be difficult for us to hold them back. If the five of us buy some time, there is a chance for the City Lord and the rest of the big families to gather and join forces."
The people thought and found that Shi Lang was right. During one of their raids, a disciple managed to pass the message of the attack back to the Wang Family mansion. It was highly likely that the family's elders would take action.
They all moved through the forest and quickly entered the city. The tension was evident in the air. The city guards were all alert. If they spot any suspicious activity, they will act quickly. The citizens sensed something was wrong, so the markets were vacant.
Shi Lang and the others arrived in the alley opposite the Wang Family mansion, and the terran sensed a lot of movement. He sighed and said, "They are indeed moving. We should call the City Lord."
The rest of the people narrowed their gazes, and Shi Lang said, "I can sense their movements inside and under the house. This a special skill I learned in a ruin."
The seniors nodded. After all, this world was filled with many bizarre things they did not know about. Lin Kang took out a spirit jade from his space ring and crushed it.
After a few minutes, City Lord Qiling appeared in front of the mansion. He had covered his body in a black cloak. Shi Lang spoke to him with spirit communication and called the man over.
Shi Lang asked, "City Lord, what is the status of the big families?"
City Lord Qiling said, "Two of them are on board, and the last one does not have experts in the city. Their patriarch is in seclusion."
Shi Lang nodded, and City Lord Qiling was about to continue when five people appeared outside the alley. The City Lord made introductions, and what surprised the newcomers was that Shi Lang was the leader.
Shi Lang did not waste time and said, "City Lord, we should place an isolation barrier around the house and call them out directly."
City Lord Qiling nodded, and Shi Lang said, "Please delegate a legion of city guards to the south gate. The Wang Family is moving under the ground. They have a tunnel which travels to the southern direction."
The people gazed at him oddly and could not understand what was happening. Lin Kang said, "City Lord, you better believe this kid. He is not as simple as he seems to be."
The city lord looked at the others, and they nodded in approval. The former was forced to send guards to the southern gates. Then, all the experts expect Shi Lang spread around the Wang Family mansion, and the City Lord said in a sonorous tone, "Old Master Wang, it is about time you come out of your hole along with your people. Or do you wish me to collapse this mansion with your people inside the tunnel?"
Although it was just a threat, it worked. The Wang Family was pushed into a corner, and they were trying to run away to save their lives. They knew things would not be good once the City Lord acted.
An old man appeared in the void above the Wang Family mansion. His back was hunched, and he had a long beard. Despite his weak, skinny skeleton, his eyes radiated the viciousness of a snake. He gazed at the City Lord and said, "City Lord Qiling, do you think it is yet your turn to bark at the Wang door?"
City Lord Qiling smiled and said, "Old Wang, among us, who is the dog and who is not, you know well."
Old Wang glared at him but did not say anything. City Lord Wang said, "You have one chance to surrender with your entire family. After the investigation, we will let go of the innocent people. However, if you tried to run away, the punishment is complete rectification."
Old Wang smiled and said, "You may not understand this, but those who dwell in the shadows always prepare for the sudden invasion of the light. I will not let you trample the dignity of my family."
As he finished speaking, several people appeared behind him in the void. Eleven people faced City Lord Qiling, the head hunters, and the Sun and Ming family experts.
The leader of the Sun family said, "Old man Wang, we have known each other for such a long time, yet you did something like this. What was it that pushed you to the dark side?"
His voice was calm, and his face was solemn. Shi Lang, observing everything from the shadows, thought these old people were friends with each other in the past. Old man Wang said, "Sun Xiang, do you not know what pushed me to the dark side? All my life, I have been trying to achieve the realm of an emperor, and the only way out for me was to lean to the dark side. After all, I do not have much time left to live."
Old Sun opened his eyes wide, as did the others, as they watched the old man release the Immortal Emperor realm pressure. They knew that Wang Xingdao, the son of Old Master Wang, was an Immortal Emperor, but this guy was also an Immortal Emperor, which put them in a bind.
lightsnοvεl.cοm Shi Lang raised his brow. He knew that something was definitely up with the Wang Family, but he did not expect them to put the card on the table so quickly. This meant only one thing. He said to the City lord and the rest, 'They are going for a death fight. You all must be careful, and they do not have anything to lose now. The only outcome for them is death while hoping for someone from the dark side to rescue one of their children. Fight carefully, and do not take any baits.'
That said, Shi Lang moved over to the roof of the building next to him. He found a relatively covered spot and took out his sniper rifle. He would fight face-to-face only when the situation was pushed to an extreme where he had no other choices.
He aimed the gun at the Wang Family elder. This person stood at the end of the formation. Old Master Wang said, "Sun Xiang, come let me show you the strength of an emperor."
As he said, the old master was ready to move when he heard a cry from the side, "Wang Shidong!!!"
Shi Lang had taken a shot, and he killed Wang Shidong unannounced. The cry of the Wang Family experts made them all pause, and the terran said, "Go, attack them. Senior Lin helps Old Man Sun to deal with Old Man Wang. City Lord Qiling will take on Patriarch Wang."
Surprised by this sudden change, the people moved quickly, and the battle began. Lin Kang teamed up with Elder Sun Xiang, and they managed to hold off the advances from the old master. On the other side, the battle entered a complete stalemate.
Shi Lang kept his rifle aimed at the scene. The aftershock of the spirit attacks would not allow his bullets to reach the target. Suddenly, he noticed an expert from the Sun Family fighting with a member of the Wang Family.
He said, 'Senior Sun Qiang, please open up some distance and do not attack this guy back.'
Sun Qiang was confused, but he was also aware that the young man was not simple, and he did as told. Yes, his mind was filled with doubt, but he still did it.
Shi Lang had already aimed at the enemy, and he squeezed the trigger. The bullet was shot, charged with lightning energy, and the bullet flew with the speed of sound. However, Shi Lang had engraved spirit arrays on the rifle, and they completely canceled the sound.
The expert of the Wang Family fell, and the scale tilted. Old Master Wang suddenly roared, "Bastard!! I will kill you!!!"
With a roar, the old master charged at Shi Lang.
