Shi Lang agreed with Raksha he could use the two people to go and fend against the demonic cultivators outside. However, he was not sure how to do that. The sword spirit said, “You must return to the cave entrance. That is why you are hesitating, right?”
The terran nodded and replied, “Not only that, but I also feel that the two of them are already at the peak of Immortal general level. What if they made a breakthrough while fighting the enemy and got thrown out of this world?”
The sword spirit shook her head and said, “I will go along with them. You do not have to worry. I will lend them a hand when they are in trouble. Later on, you can say that the formation in the palace could be used once.”
Shi Lang shook his head and said, “I forgot you are a battle maniac.”
Raksha giggled coquettishly, and Shi Lang regretted the moment Unity merged with his shura sword. She was so pure before that happened. The terran nodded and said, “Go then. I will bring them outside the control room.”
The sword spirit vanished from her spot, and Shi Lang located Yun Xue and Bo Qingtan with his connection to the palace, and then he said, “Ice, Wood, do not resist.”
His voice was relayed directly in their minds, and the two people were stunned. They had come out at almost the same time. They heard the voice and sensed gentle energy wrapping around them. They did not resist.
After a few moments, they found themselves standing before a huge door. They wondered what this place was when they spotted a beautiful lady beside them. Raksha had such a defiant charm that let alone men, even women, had difficulty looking away from them.
Yun Xue was startled and immediately grasped her sword. On the other hand, Bo Qingtan only watched her after waking up from the daze. The sword spirit said, “Good reaction, young lady. As for you, Young man, good observation.”
Yun Xue reacted while Bo Qingtan observed her. The sword spirit said, “Do not worry. I am a guardian spirit of the palace master.”
The two people did not say anything but kept looking at her. Raksha said, “Ace is the new palace master, and many things have happened since you both went into cultivation.”
Her words did not calm them, and Shi Lang could not help but intervene. He said, “You two, can you calm down a bit? This palace is also a flying artifact. We are in a mess. Take a look.”
Then, a few images flashed in their minds, and Shi Lang said, “If you are still too uneasy, then you can stay here, and I will take care of the two things.”
Yun Xue and Bo Qintan immediately realized that it was indeed Shi Lang who managed to get a hold of the palace, and they put their guard down. The young lady said, “You do not have to worry. I will go out to deal with those demonic cultivators.”
Raksha nodded and said, “I will bring you out. Please do not reveal any intention or circulate your spirit energy before we leave this cave.”
The two people understood, and they nodded. Then Raksha covered them with spirit energy, and they all moved through the space at a quick speed. She did not use conventional methods to move. Shi Lang transported her out of the palace, but before the demonic beast could sense anything, the lady tore the space, and the trio appeared outside the cave. She was a heavenly spirit sword.
Her sharpness could render the fabric of space into shreds. Bo Qingtan and Yun Xue could not understand what happened, but they did spot more than thirty demonic cultivators outside the cave. They both exchanged glances and retrieved their weapons before charging ahead. The enemy they faced was also demonic cultivators, but they both had inheritances with them, and they could kill these people with their current skills.
The demonic cultivators also sensed someone appearing inside the cave, and the leader said, “Hmmm, spirit cultivators? Kill them.”
They did not even think about asking about how they appeared there. However, that was what the situation between the two groups was like. As they charged over, Bo Qingtan stepped ahead of Yun Xue and said, “Pine dragon swarm.”
The ground erupted, and wooden dragons charged at the demonic cultivators. The dragons looked much more life-like than in the past, and they all had wooden spikes over them. as they rushed toward the demonic cultivators. The two sides were embroiled in a heated battle.
…
Meanwhile, inside the cave, Shi Lang was slowly controlling the palace to move through the grooves of the scale, making his way to the nostrils of the beast. His mind was calm, and he was also alert to the situation outside the palace. He could sense that the beast’s body was much more reactive than before.
After half an hour, Shi Lang managed to enter the edge of the nostril and was almost washed away by the gushing breath. The terran waited a bit before he synced with the rhythm of breath and moved the palace inside the nostril. He increased the speed and avoided getting caught up. 𝗈𝓋𝓛xt.𝔠𝗈𝗆
As the palace entered the nasal cavity, he located the route leading to the beast’s brain and moved quickly. He located the brain stem and also a vein inside the body. He moved closer to the vein and manipulated the palace to emit its strong suction power. Despite the size, the ability displayed was still the same.
The suction was so strong that it burst open the vein, and blood began to flow inside the palace. Shi Lang controlled the routes of the palace, and the blood streamed directly onto the Demon-bane tree. The tree seemed to have come alive, and the leaves began to emit a shallow red luster as they absorbed the blood.
After absorbing one-third of the blood, Shi Lang sensed a strong spirit energy spreading throughout the body. He sneered and entered the vein directly. The palace moved along the bloodstream, absorbing everything it could. The beast’s body was losing strength. However, the spirit energy was searching even more intensely.
Shi Lang communicated with Raksha, “How is the situation?”
The sword Spirit was connected to him spiritually, and they could easily communicate. She said, “They are all dead, what happened? Are you okay?”
Shi Lang replied, “I am okay, but can you return? I might need you to severe the spiritual presence of this beast once I am done absorbing the blood.”
Raksha nodded and said, “Fine, I am coming right away. They are just resting now, healing from shallow injuries.”
The Terran suddenly gasped and uttered, “Oh, fuck!”
