Shi Lang was going crazy with all the slashes erupting from his blade. The person was too heaven-defying for the spirit beast race youths. They could not understand what was going on with these Terrans. The twenty people were too bloodthirsty. Everywhere they went, a gory scenery was left behind to tell the story of what happened.
What the people did not understand was how Shi Lang alone was able to deal with five times the enemy others were dealing with. Tex was watching the scene keenly, and suddenly, a young man beside him asked, “Young Master, that Shi Lang, how can he deal with so many people on his own?”
The people were unable to digest this. Tex focused on the figure fighting in the swarm and said, “It is as if the enemy is losing his power as soon as they are in front of him.”
…
Shi Lang was fighting with his spirit sense covering the entire area around him, and his body was reacting correctly. However, something was different. If anybody looked under his visor, they would discover that the young man was fighting with his eyes closed and lips chanting obscure language.
The chant was silent, almost inedible, but the ears of the demonic beasts charging at him could not avoid it. The mystical power of the chant allowed Shi Lang to weaken the savage nature in the hearts of the beasts.
Shi Lang was using the demon-subduing sutra of his core cultivation skill. This set of skills was meant to deal with the demons from hell or those entities who have forsaken their true nature. Demons were not significantly different from spirit beasts. Still, just like blood refiners among humans, demons have also fallen to the crooked path of harming others to elevate their cultivation realms.
The hell hounds were demons breeding and practicing cannibalism for eons. They were crooked to the depth of their souls. However, these evil beings could gain special abilities due to their unique practices. Most of these beings had a primordial soul that could escape almost all attacks. However, the demon-subduing sutra allowed Valerian to weaken the primordial souls and leave them vulnerable.
The sutra was derived from a Buddhist chant and invoked a peaceful sensation inside the minds of the demons. The primordial souls of these creatures were always unpeaceful, haunted by the sins of their pasts. This was something they could not ever run away from. So the chant from Shi Lang’s mouth was stunning them.
It was breaking the sync between the two units, and the body was lagging. Shi Lang was testing the efficiency of this sutra. Finally, after ten minutes into the battle, he had confirmed his suspicion, and since everything was set. He passed this on to all the teammates, and the information was like a file transferred directly inside the people’s brains. Following this, they heard one message, “All of you start chanting the sutra that appeared in your mind. Do not leave even one of them behind. Take it slow, but use it with focus.”
The team did not lag and started chanting the sutra. However, the effect it had on the fight was too shocking. The enemies’ movements became sluggish, and they seemed to have forgotten that they were embroiled in a life-and-death situation.
The elders of the demon beasts saw this situation. Still, they did not have time to worry about it because were holding they back the elders of the spirit beast race were holding them back the elders of the spirit beast race were holding them back the elders of the spirit beast race were holding them back. The elders were all above Nirvana. Realm and they were fighting with enthusiasm like never before. Shi Lang sensed a strong presence appearing on the battlefield.
He could tell that it was Unity. So he used his spiritual sense to communicate with the sword spirit and said, “Can you chant the demon-subduing sutra and get the elders to deal with these old demons quickly? Or pass it to them? They do not need to understand the essence of it. Simply chanting the words will also have great significance.”
Unity looked at the situation of the elders and said, “I will pass the knowledge of the sutra to the elders.”
Shi Lang passed her the sutra, and Unity passed the sutra to the elders. The elders were surprised, but Unity said, “You all need to chant the words from the sutra that appeared in your mind. You do not have to repeat it. Just read after the echo of my voice.”
The elders understood, and then the pace of the battle changed. The demon beasts were being suppressed completely. The change of the war was too quick. The man above the city waved his hand to block the attack from Chikara and looked at the situation below. He was frowning hard.
After looking at the elders of his clan, he said, “So, you had Demon-subduing sutra. No wonder you were all so confident in dealing with us. However, are you sure this sutra will work on me?”
Moon Baley smiled and said, “We do not need it to work on you. Do you think we do not know you have a treasure that prevents your soul from being affected? Everything you have ever done has been under the watch of the second guardian of the spirit beast.”
The leader of the demon beasts frowned and asked, “Who is the second guardian?”
Sabre chuckled and said, “Your Excellency, it is time that you show yourself.”
In this sentence, the bracelet worn around the wrist of the enemy leader shivered, and then it snapped. There were nine beads. They all floated in the void and came towards Moon Baley. The enemy leader was surprised. He asked, “How did you do it? I refined them eons ago.”
Then an ethereal voice sounded in the void, “You did not refine me, filthy dog. Do you think you can overcome me? I am Taghata, the spirit of the soul protection beads.”
Then the beads shined with bright brilliance, and a young man with a bald head appeared in place of the beads. He said, “You think you can refine the soul protection beads? You are a million lifetimes too soon.”
The hellhound was surprised he did not know what to do. Moon Baley said, “Are you shocked?”

The man nodded and vanished from his side to appear next to Unity. The young man said, “Long time no see, Senior Sister.”
Unity nodded and said, “It has been hard on you, Xiao Ting.”
The man frowned and said, “Sister, can you not call me by that name?”
Unity shook her head and said, “No, can do. By the way, look down there.”
XiaoTing looked down and was surprised. He said, “Oh, this young fellow can use the demon-subduing sutra?”
Unity nodded and said, “This young man is from the era of the master. I will tell you his real identity after all this is settled.”
XiaoTing was shocked and nodded.
…
The fight became very anti-climatic, and the people from the spirit beast race were surprised as the people closed in on the city. Shi Lang said, “The spirit beast youths can now enter the barrier and let them fight it out. We have done enough. Ace division, retreat.”
The ace division retreated, and the spirit beasts charged in. They were all very eager to deal with the enemy. Only when they started fighting did the people realize how hard it was to fight with people who were only seeking survival and were mad for destruction. This event was going to change the mindset of the entire race.
The peacetime brews weaklings, they said. This was the truth to some extent. The spirit beast youth was filled with the so-called weaklings. Who had the power but did not know how to use it.
…
While the fight entered its last leg, Shi Lang rushed to the city. He was strong enough to deal with the threats he faced on the way and then entered the city. He was going for the ruin entrance. The young man used his spirit sense to find the ruins’ entrance. However, before he could reach the grotto, he stopped as a child blocked his path.
Yes, Shi Lang stopped because of a child. At this moment, his senses were tingling. The young man did not expect things to be like this. He mumbled, “To think a Demon Emperor would come to block my path.”
The child smiled and said, “To think a human will recognize what I am, is truly marvelous.”
Shi Lang shook his head and said, “Do you want to fight with me, Sir?”
The child shook his head as he replied, “You are not worthy of fighting with me. However, those two spirits would be a good workout.”
Unity and Xiao Ting appeared behind Shi Lang, and the two people said, “We will be very much obliged to free you from the bounds of your mortal life.”
