Chapter 676 Duet Of Death.
Shi Lang danced on the battlefield, slaying demonic beasts. The scene was stunning; the lightning dragon followed the lines of the tip of the spearhead. Demonic beast kings noticed this, and the casualties were piling up.
The stronger the beast, the more resistant they were to the madness caused by absorbing the blood moonlight. Shi Lang's action on the battlefield and the overall resistance of the dragon army irritated them. The humans were proving to be a worthy match.
One of the thirteen demon beast kings was close to Shi Lang. It was a huge tiger, seven meters tall on its four legs. The body was shimmering black, and its eyes were blood-red bulbs capable of shaking the souls of the onlookers with just a glance. The human had to be killing many of his comrades, and this did not sit well with him.
The demon beast roared and charged towards Shi Lang. It did not care about the weaker beasts it killed during its charge. The demon beasts did not have any special skills. These beasts have been allured to the dark side naturally. They forsake their spiritual skills for greater strength. These beasts would never be able to gain a human form. However, they gained demonic skills.
Shi Lang spotted the demon beast king rushing close to him and moved his spearhead to strike the tiger head-on. The demon beast king roared, and the lightning dragon roared, too.
The clash made every demonic beast scurry away from the two entities. Shi Lang retreated a few steps, and his expression turned solemn. He narrowed his gaze as he sensed the demon tiger siphoning off the spiritual energy flowing through the lightning dragon. Shi Lang figured out that this was the skill of this demon tiger.
He watched the lightning dragon fade away and heard Old Commander Yan's voice, "Commander Ace, move back. I will deal with this guy."
Shi Lang waved his hand and said, "I am not that weak, Old Yan. Focus on the line and protect the defenders. This feral cat is going to die at my hands."
The people were shocked because Shi Lang was only an Immortal Lord. How could he kill a Demon beast king? When everyone was confused, Shi Lang said, "Shura Body!"
The next moment, an avatar of spiritual energy appeared behind him and melded with his one. Shi Lang shone with a golden glow as if he were the sun. The people had to squint their eyes to face the glow. Following this, another call echoed, "Lightning Fist, shaking the heaven!"
Shi Lang's fists turned lightning blue as he vanished from his spot and appeared above the forehead of the tiger. The beast raised its head. Even with abnormally strong reflexes, the beast could not anticipate Shi Lang's speed. Every expert saw this scene, and they could not help but feel a shock in their hearts.
Shi Lang was faster than an Immortal King. The terran did not care about anyone and directly smashed his fist against the forehead of the demon tiger. This attack did not channel even the slightest of his spiritual energy through the demon beast. Shi Lang used pure strength to contend against a demon beast in a higher realm.
Even the Immortal Kings in the Dragon Army unit were shocked. The punch landed on the forehead and emitted visible shockwaves. The beasts in the surroundings were thrown back uncontrollably. Shi Lang did not hold back, and he did not wish for his enemies to have time to recover. This was the thumb rule of his attack pattern.
His fists began to shower on the forehead of the demon beast king. The people in the back could only watch him rough up a demonic beast king to meat pulp with eyes wide open. They did not expect Shi Lang to be so ruthless. However, on the other hand, this boosted the army's morale. The leader was so strong. How can they hold back and die like some puny sissies?
The killing output spiked once again. Shi Lang was unaware of all this. At this moment, his brain was clouded with the desire to kill. The demon tiger wailed in pain and rage, but it could not do anything to retaliate. The demon beast king was dead, enraged the surrounding demon beast kings.
The immortal kings wanted to move, but they were in a bind; the demon beast kings had made all the demon beasts under their command charge at them. If the immortal kings were to pull out from the attack line, the barrier line would collapse, and the scene would turn into a slaughter of human fighters.
At this moment, Shi Lang, holding his spear, said, "Fairy Moon Jade, will you kindly lend me a song?"
The voice surprised everyone, and what shocked them even more was a calm voice asking, "What song do you want to hear?"
Everyone doubted their lives at this moment. Since when did Sovereign Zither Soul become so amiable with males? Was she not the most aloof woman under the heavens?"
Shi Lang smiled and said, "The song of death."
Fairy Moon Jade stood in the void with a shocked expression. However, she chuckled and said, "Fine, it has been a long time since I have played it, but are you sure you wish to take it on in this realm?"
Shi Lang laughed and said, "I am sure. Come, play it."
He said, "Lightning Shura domain!"
The area around him turned into his backyard. The domain boundary was not opaque, but it allowed the people to see what was happening inside. The ground turned into a swarm of blood and mud, with lightning snakes flowing inside it.
The scene looked like a landscape from hell, and Shi Lang stood in the middle of this domain like a king. Everyone was shocked at the capability of this young man to use the domain without being in the realm of Immortal Kings. A clear zither note echoed in the surroundings.
This note seemed to have no effect on the people and the situation around them, but then the speed of this note increased and slowed. Gradually, everyone felt as if they were in a trance. This trance lasted for a fleeting moment.
People woke up and found that demon beasts in the range of five kilometers were frozen stiff. Even the demon beast kings charging at Shi Lang were slowed down a bit. The people sucked in a cold breath. The Zither Soul Sovereign was displaying her prowess.
The people focused on Shi Lang and found him completely unaffected by this song, the terran was moving quickly, and his spear radiated a sharp intent to pierce anything in its path. The demon beast king closest to him was caught in the domain range. Shi Lang stabbed his spear, and lightning snakes from the blood swamp under his feet flew up to stab the demon beast like guided missiles.
The demon beast could not defend itself and wailed as the attack landed on its buffalo-type body and killed it within seconds. Shi Lang was not interested in admiring the demon beast king and said, "Spear domain."
This was his special move. Shi Lang did not need to practice his moves to perfect them like the other immortal cultivators. He was a terran. His brain worked on a higher level, allowing him to simulate the situations in his mind. This was why he could find the best way to make a move work with a single try.
Shi Lang moved ahead quickly as the demon beast king died to finish the others. These beast kings were the reason the demon beast horde could hamper human experts and kill many people.
Moon Jade would not intervene directly, but playing the death song was enough of a contribution. This song was not to kill people but to boost the targeted person. This boost will increase their speed and physical prowess by instilling them with a greater concentration of spiritual energy.
Shi Lang had seen Fairy Moon Jade use this song once during a warbetween the two sects, and she changed Tian Long into a machine that killed two thousand experts on his own.
Shi Lang did not wish to ask her for a favor but was aware that he would not be able to fight with the Demon Beast Kings without her aid. However, the cost of this performance would be very painful. Shi Lang would be incapacitated after this song ends.
He would not be able to use his spiritual energy for at least ten days, and he would be vulnerable but at this moment, he was not concerned about this. He wanted to get over with the beasts quickly because the presence of the Immortal Emperors and Immortal Sovereigns meant that something even stronger was going to come to them.
In his mind, he cursed Tian Long for not telling him the whole thing. Shi Lang killed three more Demon Beast kings in the next one minute. His figure had turned into that of a dancer, and the scene sent chills down the spines of the people who watched it unfold. Shi Lang was akin to a death god, and the demon beast kings were like the lambs for slaughter.
The duet of death kept on for the next five minutes. Shi Lang finished off all the demon beast kings and stood panting on the battlefield. His back was straight but he was holding the spear to support himself.
