555 Taming The Thunder. Shi Lang reacted to the roar from his side and found that the Owl and Thunder Tiger were involved in a battle. The terran did not bother paying attention to them. He spoke, “Wood, can you tell me if the two of them are moving?”
Two in his mouth were pointing at the other two corpse refiners. Bo Qingtan replied, “They are moving toward the cave to look at the situation.”
Shi Lang nodded and turned his head to rush toward the cave. He was in a state where he did not care about anything but his goal. The terran rushed through the woods and approached the cave. His position was closer to the cave than the two demonic cultivators.
Raksha spoke in his soul sea, “Do you need help?”
Shi Lang did not react, and Raksha smirked. She wanted to see how this guy would deal with the people coming in. Shi Lang, on the other hand, took out the sword from his space ring. He stood at the cave entrance, waiting for the demonic cultivators.
He did not have to wait long before the two demonic cultivators stood before him. The two people exchanged glances before waving their hands, and two corpses rushed at them with great intensity to kill him. The terran channeled lightning spiritual energy channeling through his body.
The energy moved through his body and concentrated at the blade’s surface. The demonic cultivators were surprised, but Shi Lang did not give them any chance to act. He flashed from his position and quickly avoided the two corpses completely. The corpses have committed too deep into the attack. They had no flexibility to chase after Terran at such a fast speed.
The demonic cultivators had never expected that Shi Lang would bypass their weapons and attack them. One took out a talisman and wanted to defend himself, but Shi Lang did not give him a chance.
The demonic cultivator saw the world spin around before his consciousness faded. He moved closer to the next enemy, but this guy had some buffer time and erected a spiritual barrier before him. This guy wanted to defend himself for a second before his corpse puppet would be able to kill this guy.
However, he was wrong. The Lightning on Shi Lang’s sword sliced through the flesh with ease and the spiritual barrier. The terran released his sword intent, which moved through the barrier.
The demonic cultivator opened his eyes wide in shock; that was his last reaction before he died. The corpse puppet was close to Shi Lang and about to land a blow when the spirit signal on his body cut off. Shi Lang had a reputation in the same realm. He was invincible.
The terran had been trained to kill his enemy before they could fight back. After the heads of the two people were chopped off, Shi Lang channeled a few wisps of lightning, and the corpse puppet and demonic cultivators turned to ash.
He stood there panting and wheezing. The attack just now may seem simple, but to evade the attack of the puppets, he had to push his body to the limit. The difference between each of the cultivation realms was significantly larger.
If an Immortal General had the strength of hundred elephants, then the Immortal lord had the strength of thousand elephants. Those two moves and the burst of sword intent had left him with only fifty percent of his energy. At this moment, he was worried about something else. The raging Thunder Tiger, this beast was running behind the Human-Faced Owl.
The human-faced owl had the advantage of flying. Earlier, when Shi Lang spotted that the bird could ignore the backlash from the roaring attack, he took the opportunity to use a few probes to scan the anatomy of the owl. He discovered that the feathers on this bird had another feature.
They shivered quickly and generated a counter-vibration to deal with predators. This bird was used to vibrations, so the thunderous roar did not affect it. The terran took a pill from the space ring and gazed at it. He thought, “To think that I must consume a pill to alleviate my condition. How the mighty have fallen.”
He shook his head and consumed the pill. Shi Lang had not consumed pills too often in this lifetime, and now he felt vexed over his weakness. Calming his mind, the terran resolved his energy needs. He stood tall, picked up his sword, and charged toward the Thunder Tiger.
…
Yun Xue had been watching the entire scene, her eyes flickering with shock and awe. She did not expect that Shi Lang would be able to kill the two corpse refiners when they attacked him with their puppets.
She asked, “Daoist Bo.”
The young man from the other tree only replied, “Do not ask me. This man is breaking my mind.”
Yun Xue asked, “I wonder how he manages to do it.”
Bo Qingtan said, “This guy is probably just exploiting the loopholes left by his enemies.”
Yun Xue asked, “What if his enemy also aims for his loopholes? He is not perfect.”
She was looking at things logically. Shi Lang was not perfect; he had many flaws but did not get caught in them. Bo Qingtan replied, “He does have loopholes. However, he carefully uses his best attempt to cover up for them. His technique is really simple, but it is effective.”
Yun Xue nodded and replied, “When I watched him charge forward earlier, I could not help but think he was fighting with his life on stake. So reckless! What if those people had taken out anything that would have surprised him?”
Bo Qingtan shook his head and replied, “Brother Shi exploited the arrogance they had. They did not expect that one person would be able to locate them and even take the initiative to attack. They must have thought that the Thunder Tiger had killed their friend and decided to raid the cave and plan an ambush. This was why they were unprepared to meet such a quick counter.”
Yun Xue shook her head and said, “I have no idea how someone can devise such plans.”
Bo Qingtan replied, “Stop catching up to him. Learn as much as you can. We cannot be monsters like him.”
…
Shi Lang appeared near where the Owl and the Thunder Tiger were engaged in combat. The tiger was angry and exhausted; Shi Lang could see it panting. The owl had a few feathers ruffled. No wonder this little guy was attacking so ferociously.
He let out a long whistle and attracted the attention of the two creatures. He took a deep breath and let out a roar from his throat. Yes, this was a skill he had learned in the past. The lightning roar after he heard the Thunder Tiger roar, he gained a new understanding of the technique.
The result was better than what it was in the past. The Thunder Tiger was shocked and enraged. How did this human roar, and that too before him? The beast let out a roar and charged over to Shi Lang. The beast wasn’t a corpse puppet but in the Immortal Lord realm.
The terran also leaned forward and lowered his center of gravity. He was ready to face the threat heading his way. The beast lunged at Shi Lang with his big claws, ready to tear apart the human. However, Shi Lang was not so easily outdone. He knelt on the ground, and the shadow of the Thunder Tiger flew overhead.
The beast was very fast, and it turned around in a blink. However, Shi Lang was already there, ready for the Tiger to turn his head. In a blink, a lightning-covered fist landed on the snout of the big cat.
The whole body of the beast was thrown out. Shi Lang did not wait and before the beast could regain balance, he rained down attacks. The Thunder Tiger was angry and roared. Its body was covered in lightning and it appeared behind Shi Lang. The beast used some innate technique and appeared behind the man.
The Tiger was a king of the animals, and this human dared to bully him? Shi Lang became its enemy, and the predator slashed his claws at Shi Lang’s back, leaving a series of gashes on the back.
Shi Lang winced as his back burned with pain. However, he did not take a step back. The terran turned around and with a backhand slash, released a slash of sword intent, scaring the beast. Shi Lang gazed at the beast coldly and said, “I could have killed you but only left you with a grazed ear. You have a chance. Either you follow me, or I kill you.”
The Tiger was scared but unwilling and growled at Shi Lang. The Terran replied, “I will restore your eye and ear.”
The beast did not understand human language, but he could tell that Shi Lang was not deceitful. It growled softly and bowed his head in surrender. The beast knew it cannot win against this human.
