Ace Of Terrans



Shi Lang and the two people were squeezed through the void tunnel. They did not have any idea what was going on around them. It was a pitch-black void, and they were told not to use any spiritual energy to ensure they did not disrupt the tunnel and end up imploding. 

The journey did not last long, and they were thrown out of the void tunnel. The three people fell to the ground, and they could not move. Shi Lang could feel that the people were still with him. However, he did not have the energy to talk and ask them if they were alright. 

Despite having experienced space jumps, Shi Lang could not handle the pressure around his body in this void tunnel. His body was strong enough to deal with the heavenly lightning. Yet, this two-second trip squeezed him out. 

After an hour, they were able to sit up. Shi Lang asked, "The worst experience of my life." 

The other two nodded. Bo Qingtan stood up and looked around to check the terrain. They were surrounded by desert for as far as they could see. Yun Xue said, "This place is dead." 

Shi Lang took a deep breath and bit his finger. He released eight drops of blood and said, "Shura Clones." 

The two people were surprised to see that eight drops of blood condensed into eight clones of Shi Lang. They could tell that the strength of these people was not shall. Shi Lang did not say anything. He flicked out eight swords from his space ring, and the clones rushed in eight directions. 

Bo Qingtan asked, "What is going on?" 

Shi Lang nodded and said, "I can condense clones, at most ten. I just sent them to explore the eight directions to find some cover." 

Bo Qingtan said, "I have some knowledge about this place, and it might help us." 

Yun Xue nodded and said, "Go on." 

Bo Qingtan replied, "This place is called the battlefield of gods. In ancient times, there used to be thousands of people who achieved the realm called immortal gods. That realm exists above the level of an immortal Sovereign. However, these experts got into a fight with demons. The conflict escalated, and they decided to wage war. From the records left by people from the past, this place should be where the war ended." 

Shi Lang stood from the ground, "Let's go. The first shelter  has been located." 

The two people followed him. They believed in his strength. After an hour of walking, they reached a place with small cliffs. Shi Lang walked through the narrow gaps left between the cliffs. Bo Qingtan asked, "What is this place? The wall is too smooth to look natural." 

Yun Xue said, "The wind leaves these gaps. Over time the wind cut through this sandstone hill." 

Bo Qingtan nodded, and after a few minutes, they reached a cave on the side of the wall. The terran headed inside and found the clone standing in the center. Shi Lang nodded, and the clone left the place. 

Yun Xue asked, "Where did you send him now?" 

Shi Lang replied, "To check if they can find other humans or people in this place." 

Bo Qingtan asked, "Will that not unveil our identities?" 

Shi Lang  shook his head and said, "The clones can change appearances." 

The young man sighed and said, "I can understand why the grand elder said I should follow your instructions." 

Yun Xue nodded slightly and said, "Yes, Elder Yue also told me the same. " 

Shi Lang sighed. He did not wish to say anything to them. He was not sure why the elders put them up to it. He said, "Since we need to cover our identities, we need to get rid of the sect uniforms, change names and, if possible, alter appearances." 

Bo Qingtan asked, "How do we change appearances? I do not have any transfiguration techniques." 

Yun Xue said, "I can use some makeup to help." 

Shi Lang nodded and said, "The elders said that if we wish to look for opportunities, we should stay together. I agree with them, but there have to be some rules, and none of us should deviate from them." 

The two people exchanged glances and nodded. Bo Qingtan asked, "What do you have in mind?" 

Shi Lang said, "I will use my code name, Ace. Daoist Yun Xue will be snow, and Brother Bo, you can be well Wood. How does that sound?" 

The people nodded and formed plans on how to deal with the situation lying before them. Suddenly, Shi Lang thought of something and used his communicator to project the holographic projection before the two of them. The two were shocked initially, but then Shi Lang explained them, and they calmed down. 

Shi Lang showed them the various formations and tactics he used in the federation. The terran told them about the importance of tactics in the field. He also told them how to improve their battle effectiveness through videos. 

He said, "You both have the skills to become top-level powerhouses and are well-known throughout the eastern barren. The only troubling thing is that you lack the intent to kill. When you both were fighting me, you fought half-heartedly. That is why Brother Bo suffered under that snake at the Misty Mountain beast tide." 

Yun Xue nodded and said, "I have been practicing for a long time, but I have never killed a human." 

Shi Lang sighed and said, "You will get a chance. After all, humans are more dangerous in this world than anything else." 

Yun Xue nodded and said, "True." 

As she said that, the air around her became slightly colder. The terran did not say anything. After all, it was her private matter. Bo Qingtan asked, "Brother Shi, how long must we wait here?" 

The terran replied, "Just a few hours, the clones use spirit energy to move. However, soon they will disintegrate." 

Yun Xue and Bo Qingtan nodded. After a few more words, Shi Lang sat down to meditate and monitor the situation around the clones. An hour later, Shi Lang frowned and opened his eyes. 

Bo Qingtan opened his eyes and asked, "What happened?" 

He sensed the chill in the air. Yun Xue was disturbed by the voice. The terran said, "Seven of my clones disintegrated when they encountered nothing but desert. However, one of them managed to reach a place with some life. However, it did not last too long. A group of people killed it." 

Bo Qingtan was surprised and asked, "Why did they kill? Also, do you know who they were?" 

Shi Lang shook his head and said, "They attacked indiscriminately.  They wore red robes and black masks." 

Bo Qingtan frowned, and so did Yun Xue. The young man said, "Those people must be demonic cultivators." 

Shi Lang asked, "What do you mean?" 

Bo Qingtan sighed and replied, "Just like humans, those demons also have access to a few portals. To think that they were so close to us. I would not like to run into them." 

Shi Lang shrugged and said, "We shall see to it when things come to that point." 

Bo Qingtan nodded, and Shi Lang said, "Daoist Yun, if you could, please drape a cloak to hide yourself as much as possible. It will help us avoid some ignorant." 

Yun Xue nodded in agreement. It was common for the people in the cultivation world to disguise and travel. Shi Lang and the two spent one night inside the cave before going toward the region where the clone encountered the demonic cultivators. That place was the only region where they could encounter humans. 

Shi Lang did not say much, but he had an idea. He would kill the demonic cultivators at his first chance if he could. The terran did not say much when they were walking through the desert. The three of them were draped in black clothes. 

Three people reached where the clone was killed, and Bo Qingtan looked around in surprise. The fight destroyed the landscape, and Shi Lang said, "We have company." 

Bo Qingtan and Yun Xue took out their swords, and they became alert. Suddenly, an eerie laughter echoed in the woods. The people were surrounded by trees. Shi Lang turned to face to the side and said, "Come out." 

The laughter stopped abruptly. A person walked out from behind the tree. This guy was wearing a black robe with red trimming. He said, "Hmmm, so you do have some skill." 

Shi Lang replied, "You have some patience for a demonic cultivator. Staking out the place for the whole night." 

His voice was calm and cold. The demon cultivator was shocked to see this. He did not expect Shi Lang to be so indifferent to him. After all, demon cultivators, the name was enough to scare the people. Yet, this guy before him did not faze. 

Shi Lang said, "If you are up for it, shall I give you a quick death, or would you prefer a slow one."
