Shi Lang’s bellowing sound woke the rest of the elders and shocked Peak Master Cao. Mei Lingyao appeared beside Shi Lang and placed her hand on his back as she said, “Calm down, Xiao Lang.”
However, how was the Shura going to heed any words? He put away his spear, and, glaring at Peak Master Cao, he said, “You like to mess with other people a lot, right?”
His tone was cold, and a sword appeared in his hand. Mei Lingyao placed her hand on his shoulder and hurriedly said, “Shi Lang, Senior Brother Cao did not mean to harm you, but he only protected his disciple. Do not speak too much.”
Shi Lang scoffed and commented, “I did not know that the spirit heart sect raised greenhouse. Plants. If he interfered with the battle to save his disciple, would you tell me if any of you sensed any killing intent from me? Did you?”
Peak Master Cao was enraged that a junior was reprimanding him. The old man yelled, “Who do you think you are to act so brazenly in my presence? What if the attack just now was to injure Xiao Tian grievously? Would you shoulder the responsibility?”
Shi Lang was so angry that he chuckled and asked, “Old man, if I suffered a bigger backlash because of your actions, would you take the responsibility? No, I can suffer injuries in your eyes, but your disciples cannot? Your disciples caused my cultivation to diverge, and now you caused me to suffer a backlash. Do you think I am so easy to trifle with?”
His words enraged the old man, and all the elders were stunned. Looking at things in this way, Shi Lang was not wrong. However, this situation must be dissolved right now. The elders turned to look at Ling Ye. To their surprise, they found the sect master not moving at all. He seemed to be watching a good show.
Peak Master Cao was shocked and roared, “Such temper! Fine! Tell me, what can you do? Yes, I attacked you, knowing completely well that you will suffer from a backlash. What can you do to me?”
At this moment, Shi Lang’s gaze turned calm. The elders realized his change, and they shivered. The next moment, the lightning armor condensed around him, and he said, “Since you have decided to give up your dignity, then I can only help you with it.”
The people were surprised, and Peak Master Cao sneered, thinking Shi Lang was putting up a facade, but then he gazed at Shi Lang’s eyes. The terran said, “Shura Realm.”
His eyes glimmered with a flash of blue. Everyone watched Peak Master Cao shiver slightly, but he did not fall to his feet like the other people. Instead, he exclaimed, “Mental Attack. Kid! You are going too far.”
A red spear appeared in his hand. The weapon was trembling slightly. The rage of its owner simulated it. Shi Lang did not mind, and he said, “Since you do not care about anything, then I will not hold back either. Raksha.”
As soon as the words dropped, the terran reached his hand into the void, and a red and golden sword appeared in the void. The elders sensed their hearts shiver. They all heard a sigh and watched the sword change into an ethereal figure. Ling Ye mumbled, “Heavenly Spirit Artifact.”
Raksha knew about what was going on and waved her hand. The people were bound by her power. Only a martial emperor could counter her. She asked, “Lang, do you want to do it?”
Shi Lang glanced at Peak Master Cao and said, “I do. What do you think?” 𝗈𝗏𝓵xt.𝐂𝞸𝕞
Raksha vanished from his side and appeared next to Peak Master Cao. The old man was shocked. He was in the realm of an Immortal King, and he could not even react or sense her approach. The sword spirit sighed and asked, “Are you thinking, where did this young man get a hold of a Heavenly Spirit Sword? Well, I was naturally born as a heavenly spirit, and Tian Long became my master in the lower realm. Then, to save the realm, this guy was bound to give up his life, and I merged with his sword. His sword was a quasi-spirit weapon, yet it changed my personality.”
Her eyes turned red, and the killing intention shocked the people. She asked in a low voice, “Would you like to confess your mistake and let the matter rest? Or shall I make a move and kill all the disciples in your so-called Spear Peak?”
The old man was shocked, but then he recovered. He did have a prideful personality and replied, “You can kill me if you have the guts, but don’t you dare kill the disciples. The rest of the sect elders will not let you do it anyhow.”
Raksha smiled, and then Shi Lang said, “You can escape all this after apologizing. Even if all the elders were to attack us, they would have to pay a price for it. Do you think that one life is worth sacrificing the disciples? You are so arrogant. No wonder your disciples act in this manner also. I will tell you now, old man, I do not create trouble, but I am not afraid of it either.”
Xia Tian coughed up and stood up from the ground, and he did not expect that Shi Lang would even go against his master. When Shi Lang looked at him, he wanted to say something, but the Terran spoke first, “You might be thinking that I am going overboard, but do you realize that your fellow disciples are causing trouble for even themselves and me? If they are to act like this before some other expert, they will die, and the entire sect might drown in blood.
What is your arrogance good for? As an experienced elder, he could not differentiate between killing intent and a hard attack. So what if I attack you hard? Did you hold back against my fellow disciples? This protection of his is why you all have good skill but act like a bunch of roadside goons.”
Xia Tian did not have anything to counterattack. It was not that he was completely blind. He also knew that his master had a few character flaws, so he and his fellows were somewhat rampant.
Shi Lang finished talking and gazed at Old Man Cao. He raised his sword to point at the old man and said, “Since you think it is inappropriate of me to reprimand you, how about a duel? We will only compete with weapon skills. How about it, old man Cao?”
His words shocked everyone. They did not expect Shi Lang to go ahead and even challenge the peak master—a person in the realm of the immortal king. The people sighed while the old man nodded. He says, “You have infuriated me completely; come and let me see your skill level.”
The people could not fathom, and Mei Lingyao said, “Go prepare an arena for them to duel. They will pass out a strong and efficient lesson to the rest of the disciples.”
Liang Ping nodded and vanished from her side. Ling Ye said, “In this peak battle, Sword Peak wins. I hope none of you have any objections here?”
The people nodded and then they all gradually moved to the arena for the big scene to unfold.
