Shi Lang did not intend to waste a single moment in his attack. The young general vanished from his spot and appeared near the Stellar defense unit that the Ikeras were so sure of.
This SDU module was akin to a small satellite hovering and revolving around a set location. The module would always stay on standby and attack any unidentified person within range. As a delicate piece of technology, this machine was rather crude. It was said that the only way to get past this weapon was to wear a unique identification tag on your body the entire time.
Shi Lang approached this module in a blink and then slashed out with his sword without hesitation in his heart. Unfortunately, the computer was not fast enough to catch up with speed displayed by the Terran. While the algorithm was scanning the young man, the attack had already arrived, and a sharp ray of sword spirit divided the module into two parts from top to bottom.
The result was a series of sparks and a small nuclear explosion from the core damage. Shi Lang retreated a few steps but was unharmed by the shockwave. However, this display was enough to set off the alarms in the estate, and the guards all reacted quickly. Although shocked, they were not lax in duty, thanks to their elite training.
The estate was akin to a small city. Shi Lang counted a few thousand guards aiming their phaser guns at him. They were all dressed in uniforms and had coordinated actions. The young general stood in the sky, providing them with a clear view.
A person asked in a sonorous voice, "Do you wish to die so bad that you dared to barge here? Do you not understand what this place is?"
Shi Lang nodded and replied, "Graveyard of the Ikeras."
The guards were shocked, and then they were enraged. Someone else said, "Captain Shuil, why are you talking to this maniac? Kill him and be done with it. We have other things to tend to."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtCaptain Shuil nodded and said, "Listen up, you all, this guy dared to walk into our house and trampled our dignity. Show him the wrath of Ikeras."
The guards all cheered. Shi Lang wanted to ask this man a few questions before he could get a chance. Thousands of phaser beams flashed, all aimed at his location. The young general sighed and then waved his hands. The spirit energy in the surrounding materialized into a shield bubble before him.
Shi Lang shook his head and said, "Futile struggle."
The guards were shocked. The best weapon in the arsenal was dealt with in such a manner. They could never have imagined meeting someone who could stay unharmed under the shower of so many phaser beams fired at him. Shi Lang looked at the captain and found that the man had regained his composure.
This made Shi Lang raise his guard. Although he was not overly worried, it was better to be cautious. Better safe than sorry. The Terran vanished from his spot again; this time, he stood before the enemy captain. The other party did not even have the time to process the arrival, let alone react to the person.
Shi Lang placed his hand on top of the captain, then performed a soul search. The guards were confused. Before the Terran could extract meaningful information, a phaser beam pierced the captain from the back of his head.
Shi Lang frowned and looked at where the shot was fired. He found a lady standing there with a sniper rifle in her hand. She did not hide from Shi Lang's gaze and said, "Do not stop. Attack him. If you die, you will be martyred, but if you deserted, think of what will happen to your families."
The people regained their focus. It may be despairing to fight against this monster, but for the sake of their families. The people had no other option and began firing at Shi Lang from all the angles they could find. In return, the young man countered with his fists. Evah and every punch claimed a life, and a brawl erupted.
The phaser beam was not hurting Shi Lang because his spiritual shield was more potent than anything else. As a result, the phaser beams did not affect the shield, and Shi Lang moved forward unbothered by the skirmish around him.
The guards were not fools. They all brought out the big boys when they understood that their moves would not bear fruit, and this young man was simply the incarnation of the grim reaper. So first, the guards retreated a bit, then attacked Shi Lang with phaser nades. The attack power of a nade was ten times higher than a standard phaser beam.
This attack method hindered Shi Lang's progress but was insufficient to contain his wrath. Finally, after the young man was irritated enough, he removed his sword and performed a slash. The impact of the slash left a shallow ravine on the ground. A few guards who stood in the way of his attack were dead. At the same time, the rest were left with lingering fears in their hearts.
Shi Lang then released his sword and said, "Kill."
The sword trembled and began to fly around at high speeds. It was said that blades and blows do not have eyes, which was true. The sword passed through the security guards' group, leaving a corpses trail. The scene was scary, and the people did not know what to do. When a few of them tried to look for the lady who had commanded them, they found that Shi Lang was holding the lady by her head, and the person was twitching.
After a few minutes, Shi Lang tossed the lady aside and mumbled, "To think the Ikeras were aware of spiritual cultivation too. However, why do they allow a few people to cultivate? What a pity."
The onslaught continued, and a few people in the monitoring room were covered with cold sweat. They did not understand what was going on or who this person was. Yet, in less than ten minutes, they have lost a few hundred. Then, suddenly, a technician said, "Commander, I found it."
Then he rushed over to an old man with a tablet. He said, "This man is called Shi Lang. He is a member of the strike force, and a few days ago, this person submitted evidence against us that led to the demotion in status and the other troubles our clan is facing. So, to avenge this humiliation, a strike was authorized on this guy.
According to the reports, this person should have died on Zelios, but he survived. The rest of his activities are unknown."
The commander nodded and said, "You did a good job. I know what to do now. Go back to your station."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe man left, and the old commander said, "All units, stand back. I repeat, stand back. You all are throwing your lives away. I will deal with this person myself."
…
On the battlefield, the security guards reacted immediately. Shi Lang noticed and stopped. He looked around, and then he smiled. The guards were ready for him to charge at them. However, Shi Lang was standing in the distance. He was not interested in dealing with these small fries.
…
Raz was sitting on a boulder, and Sparrow was lying on the ground. Crystal looked at them with disbelief and said, "Do you two not want to work? Why are you slacking?"
Sparrow sighed and said, "Kiddo, hurry up and step into the primordial soul realm. Then, you will understand that we are not slacking but watching and comprehending some things from the battle over there."
Crystal realized these people did not depend on visors to see the battle. She sighed and said, "Why do you think the guards are pulling back?"
Raz replied, "They are not pulling back but are waiting for someone strong to come over."
Crystal nodded and suddenly asked, "What will happen if they call for additional support?"
Sparrow shook her head and said, "The borders of their territory are on red alert, and the moment we started infiltration. Harley commanded the top ten teams of the Strike Force to break the lines of the Ikeras forces."
Crystal was shocked. She could not wrap her brain around this news for a few minutes and asked, "What do you mean? Sister Sparrow, why will the galactic strike force attack so openly?"
Raz chuckled and said, "The Ikeras abducted the boss, and when we arrived to avenge our boss, they held us hostages, too. The galactic strike force cannot tolerate this and this the actions."
Crystal understood this was all a plan to frame the Ikeras and have them act against them. This way, the Ikeras will be stained on a galactic level. The action from the galactic strike force will overcome the military advantage; meanwhile, Shi Lang can execute his directives.
