Shi Lang's laughter made everyone shiver. This display took aback the demonic cultivators. The aura around him was almost materializing into a solid structure. His hair turned red, and this change had not occurred long.
At this moment, his appearance alone was enough to scare the people. The terran opened his mouth and spoke hoarsely, "Bo, take them back."
Bo Qingtan woke up and said, "Brothers, retreat."
The people were all confused. Even if Shi Lang was enraged and his body produced such an overwhelming aura, they should not retreat. Xing wanted to voice his doubts, but then he saw Shi Lang take his sword and cut his palm. Blood dripped down the blade of his sword, and soon, it turned into a small puddle at his feet.
Shi Lang said, "Supreme Shura Clone."
His voice was hoarse, and his tone was cold. The mercenaries did not understand at first, but soon, they realized that if they did not retreat from the place now, they would not be able to return later. The spiritual energy in the void fluctuated like nothing they had ever seen before.
The leader of the demonic cultivators, who was watching everything from the center of the altar, stepped forward and said in a reprimanding tone, "What are you bastards waiting for? Go kill him."
The mercenaries wanted to defend Shi Lang when Xing said, "Hurry and retreat. Do not meddle, or none of you will last to tell the tale. Retreat!"
His cry forced the mercenaries to retreat, and they would never overlook their leader's command, which was meant to save their lives. The people from the demonic side found the opening, and they all charged at Shi Lang. However, the terran was looking at the lady tied to the pillar in the center.
The blood under his feet squirmed and gradually formed a human figure. This figure looked exactly like Shi Lang. The terran took his spear from his space ring and said, "Don't leave even one of these insects alive; I want the place to echo with their screams."
Xing and his people were shocked, but Bo Qingtan only shook his head. He was aware of what fate was awaiting the demonic cultivators. They watched Shi Lang(s) meeting the horde of demonic cultivators. Then, a brutal scene unfolded in front of the people. Shi Lang was an Immortal Lord, and so were the demonic cultivators.
However, at this moment, Shi Lang(s) were chopping their limbs with lightning-covered weapons as if they were lambs on the chopping board. The terran and his clone did not kill anyone. They just decapitated their limbs and turned off their cultivation. The pain that these people were able to tolerate because of the demonic energy in their bodies was now unleashed, and they screamed as they fell to the ground.
Shi Lang was true to his motive, he left the people to suffer in agony, and their cries echoed in the distance. This entire thing was making his bloodlust go wild.
Raksha spoke in his mind, "Lang, do not lose control."
Shi Lang replied, "I know!"
He was angry. His immortal soul was emitting the same emotions at this moment. He was angry that Yun Xue was suffering like this. He was angry that he was not by her side when she was suffering. He was angry that these filthy demonic beasts were killing innocent people for their own good.
He hated the idea of demonic cultivation that needed them to kill innocent creatures and betray the essence of humanity. The terran had seen two lifetimes, and he had lost many people to these selfish ways of the people, and thus, he hated them.
The more he thought about this, the angrier he became. His speed increased, and the lightning began to emit from his body. However, the color of his lightning changed from blue to red. Shi Lang did not realize this, but the others did, and their eyes opened wide.
Bo Qingtan stepped forward and said, "Are those red sparks?"
The people nodded, and Xing asked, "What just happened? Why is he able to produce such a threatening power?"
Bo Qingtan did not say anything and did not know anything to explain. Suddenly, at this moment, an old man appeared behind them. The people took out their weapons, but the old man smiled and said, "Relax, young ones, you have a good reaction. I am here to protect him this time, but it does not seem I need to do anything."
Bo Qingtan relaxed and clasped his fists, "Senior, you are?"
The old man said, "This old man is known as Emperor Hell Flame."
The people were shocked, Xing asked, "Senior, you are from the Dragon Army?"
The old man smiled and replied, "The sovereign told this old man to look after the champion. You know those old people like to play cheap games."
Xing and the rest nodded, finally realizing that Tian Long was not joking about Shi Lang's status. Bo Qingtan asked, "Senior, can you tell us what is happening to him?" n/)o))v)-e-/l)-b--1./n
Emperor Hell Flame said, "Ah, the red color of lightning. The heavenly tribulation has many levels, blue, which tests the common people. Violet tests above-average people. The red tests monsters. Finally, gold, which tests the monsters among monsters."
The old man continued, "Right now, what you see is the limit of Shi Langs's current realm. He has comprehended the rage of lightning. The rage that increases every quality of his but also makes him an agent of destruction. At this moment, he will kill anyone and everyone who stands in his way of saving the girls."
The people shivered, and Xing asked, "Senior, do you mean that as his comprehension grows deeper, his lightning might become golden?"
The old man smiled and said, "Yes, possible. If this old man can touch the threshold of golden flames, then a genius monster like him certainly can do it."
The people gulped. They feared what Shi Lang might be able to do once he finished comprehending the dao rules of lightning.
...
Shi Lang had decapitated almost a hundred people in just a few minutes. Ming was tied to a pillar as she watched the scene unfold with shock. She could not help but look at Yun Xue, who was at the center of the altar circle. She recalled what this girl had said, 'The heads of the demonic cultivators would rain all over the place as Shi Lang charges ahead.'
She looked at Shi Lang, who was now facing the leader of the demonic cultivators. Behind him lay limbs and corpses. She could not believe what just happened. Even as a mercenary, she was not so brutal in her endeavors. Shi Lang left no room for anyone to leave his range alive.
Over the years, she had killed many people. However, the scene before she made her intestines squirm, and a retched feeling overwhelmed her. She was not the only one with this feeling. All the girls were the same. They could not fathom this brutality.
Ming turned her head to look at Yun Xue again, and she found that the latter was gazing at Shi Lang without blinking her eyes even the least. It was as if the Terran was the only person who existed in this world for her.
She looked back at Shi Lang, who stood calmly before the leader of the demonic cultivator. The two people with strength that surpassed her. However, the striking contrast in their character was as if day and night. She hated the leader of the demonic cultivators, and respect surged from the bottom of her heart when she gazed at Shi Lang.
...
The demonic cultivator remarked, "You are pretty decent in strength, but is that all?"
Shi Lang did not reply but gazed at the man in a black cloak with a cold gaze. The demonic cultivator said, "I do not need much time, just a few seconds and this array altar will work. You will watch these girls die."
Shi Lang said, "If you dared to move against them, I will give you a fate that would be worse then death, and even your demon gods will not be able to help you."
The leader of the demonic cultivators did not take him seriously and chuckled. He said, "Do you think you can do anything to the demon god? Hahahaha, you ignorant fool."
Shi Lang smiled coldly and twisted his neck to the side. He said, "Your demon god is a coward who must have hidden in some dark hole to evade the crisis that befell his kind. Do not worry. Today I will kill you, and I may not be able to deal with your god, but there was a time when I could not deal with the likes of you. We shall see what the future holds for us."
His words insulted and discredited the status of the demon god completely. The leader of the demonic cultivators gnashed his teeth, and raised his black sword. He said, "Come at me, you puny human."
