Chapter 752 Battle Maniac.
Shi Lang held his spear as he faced Azul Herman. The battle was going to be held in the square. Old City Lord Pie waved his hand and created a barrier. He said, "You have to defend yourself for ten minutes. If you feel a threat to your life, make sure you surrender quickly."
The terran nodded and held his spear in a battling stance. He said, "Senior Azul, I hope you will not hold back."
As he finished speaking, his expression changed. Azul Herman removed his spear from his space ring and said, "Ready or not, kid, here I come."
The old man moved, and the Young Master from the Zhu Family said, "I know who this old senior is. His Dao title is Spring Spike. He is among the top twenty spear masters in the human warrior rankings."
After much deliberation, Yao Jiming looked at the young man and asked, "Young Master Zhu, the human warrior ranking has hundreds of people in the ranks. Can you tell me the significance of being in the top twenty?"
The young man looked over and said, "The top twenty means they have the potential to rise to the level of an Immortal Sovereign. Now, do you understand? He is stronger than your normal Immortal Emperor."
The people realized what was happening and heard a loud clang. Looking at the battlefield, they found Shi Lang facing Azul Herman head-on. The attacks were quick and sharp. Azul Herman was also taken aback because he did not expect this young man to show such a resilient attitude.
Shi Lang smiled and enjoyed every minute of this battle. The tip of his spear moved like a snake hunting for prey. Azul Herman, known as the Spring Spike, was quick and fluent. All his moves seemed connected so well that his spear appeared to be a storm that wanted to blow Shi Lang away.
The Terran was pushed back, but quickly, he would take a step forward to regain the lost ground. They were both pressing hard and unwilling to give up even an inch. Shi Lang displayed skills that surprised everyone in the square. Only Yun Xue was calm. Yao Jiming exclaimed, "I did not expect Young Master to be this skilled."
Yun Xue replied, "Do you think he dealt with the ten Demon Beast kings while he was just an Immortal Lord by fluke?"
The people heard her words and recalled the legend about Shi Lang from The Blood Moon Night. The terran suddenly said, "Have you finished testing my skills?"
Azul Herman backed off and nodded. He said, "You have good skills, but that is not enough."
Shi Lang invoked his Dao Armor and summoned his Dao armament. The blue lightning spear had turned into a red lightning spear. It blended inside the body of Shi Lang's spear, and the young man said, "Why don't you see if this is all I have?"
Azul Herman was not to be outdone by a young man before his peers. He also invoked his Dao Armor but did not bring out his dao armament. He thought his spear was enough to handle Shi Lang. However, Shi Lang's spear started vibrating.
The red lighting covered the weapon, and Yun Xue said, "I wonder if this senior will manage to hold him off."
The young master of the Zhu Family heard this remark and said, "It is good to be confident, but overconfidence can make one look ashamed."
Yun Xue turned to look at him and said, "I do not think anyone asked for your opinion, Young Master Zhu?"
The Meng Family people raised their brows, and so did the remaining Renegade Cultivators were the same. They did not expect Yun Xue to stand against the Zhu Family's twin dragons.
The young man wanted to refute when his brother touched his shoulder and said, "Watch the battle."
The people trained their eyes again at the battle and found the two turning into flickers. The ground was covered with multiple figures of Azul Herman and Shi Lang.
The people were surprised as they did not understand how Shi Lang could keep up with them. Old City Lord said, "Although I have seen lightning element users, I have never seen anyone with such speed. His comprehension of lightning element and dao laws is outstanding."
Another Immortal Emperor said, "Yeah, I agree with you, Old Pie, this guy is something. No wonder His Excellency took him as a champion of the Dragon Army. His skills are solid, but that aside, his guts are made of steel.
Herman is not holding back. He has not used any stronger moves, yet this guy can keep up with him. The old man is having a hard time."
The rest of the people heard this evaluation, and they were shocked. This was a group of Immortal Emperors talking about an Immortal King.
...
Inside the barrier, Shi Lang moved quickly, and he was keeping Azul Herman at bay. However, he knew he could not keep up this output level. He took a deep breath and invoked his Dao Crown.
The sudden change took Azul Herman and Shi Lang aback. They turned the gear up a notch, and he said, "Slithering Dragon."
His spear seemed to have come to life. Shi Lang stood in his place, holding the spear. The weapon began to spew energy streaks through the void, and the lightning waves made buzzing sounds as they traveled through the void.
Azul Herman waved his hand and formed a spiritual shield to defend himself against the attack, and he walked over to Shi Lang's side. However, the Terran was not surprised. He smiled and said, "Thank you."
Shi Lang closed his eyes and lowered his center of gravity. He took a deep breath and said, "Dragon piercing the sky."
The next moment, his spear trembled and left his hand. Azul Herman stopped walking, and his hair stood up at their hands. He immediately took out his Dao Cape and said, "Spike threading the petals."
This shocked everyone, and Old Pie immediately said, "Stop him. If this kid dies, Tian Long will raze the city."
The four Immortal Emperors moved in to stop Azul Herman, but they were too late. The latter quickly vanished from his spot. Shi Lang stood at his spot; his gaze was firm, but he was not afraid.
Young Master Zhu said, "One needs to know where the limit lies."
Everyone was anxious because it was not only Azul Herman who felt fearful of the move; everyone felt it. Even the arrogant Young Master Zhu had his senses rattled by the attack.
The battle intent that Shi Lang held at that moment made them realize that this guy was a battle maniac. This was a dangerous thing for those who had ill intentions towards him. Such people would go to any lengths to satisfy their urge to fight, and the scene before them was a statement supporting this logic.
Shi Lang had unleashed his spear intention along with his spear. Azul Herman made his move not to kill or attack Shi Lang but to defend himself. He was aware that if he underestimated this attack, he could get severely injured or, worse, die.
Suddenly, Azul Herman appeared five meters away from Shi Lang, holding the spear shaft and pushing forward. The collision stirred up a dust cloud, and the void shook around them. That was not all, and the impact made the ground crack up.
The crack spread from under their feet to where the people were standing. The people felt the tremor coursing through their bodies. They found that the attack even burned the spiritual energy.
The two people were still locked into combat. Azul Herman had a bleeding wound running along his forearm, and Shi Lang had a hole in his right shoulder. However, while Azul Herman looked pale, Shi Lang was still smiling.
The Terran took a pill from his space ring and swallowed it. The wound on his shoulder was as big as a human fist, but the pill began to heal him quickly. This was a rapid-healing pill. It repaired the physical damage by using the spiritual energy inside the body.
As his wound began to heal, he asked, "Do you want to continue, Senior?"
Azul Herman had caught his breath, and his face looked better as he commented, "Do you think I am that eager to die? Brat, you dared to come at me to kill. Did you think I would not do anything to you? Is the dignity of an Immortal Emperor joke in your eyes?"
Shi Lang smiled and said, "I battled you with the best of my capabilities, that is enough to prove how much I respect you. A warrior shall face another warrior with complete strength; otherwise, it will be a disgrace."
Azul Herman chuckled and said, "Good, you passed this test. I forfeit."
...
Yun Xue said, "You were correct, Young Master Zhu. One should know their limits."
The sparks of battle were flying in the void as Shi Lang walked back to the group of spectators.
