Ace Of Terrans

Chapter 554  Card Of Death. 

Shi Lang and the two had found their high tree crows and diligently cultivated them. A few hours passed, and Shi Lang gradually improved his level. In his cultivation path, bottlenecks did not exist. The secret lay in the sutra he practiced.

Shi Lang was born to practice this sutra, and the aid of his Terran physique, control over his body, and observation skills made him understand the sutra better. The young man was focusing on condensing his spiritual energy inside his dantian.

The spiritual weapon was the size of the needle, but to increase his cultivation realm, he needed to instill it with purer spirit energy. The spirit liquid in his body was cleansing his spiritual energy with every major cycle.

Shi Lang was -also very prudent and did not keep his hands when using the spirit liquid. His body seemed to have become a black hole, absorbing the nutrition completely.

The sensory alarm he set up at the cave went off when thinking about advancing his realm. The young man opened his eyes and checked the communicator. He found three people standing before the cave entrance, all cloaked in black cloth.

Shi Lang did not get a good vibe from these people. He interacted with the communicator and found that the people were discussing refining the tiger as a corpse puppet. He realized that these people were from the demonic path. He communicated with Bo Qingtan and Yun Xue.

"We have a situation.", he said.

Bo Qingtan woke up from his cultivation and asked, "What is it?"

Yun Xue also woke up and asked the same question. Shi Lang narrated the entire scene, and the lady said, "Those people cannot be allowed to enter the cave. They will contaminate the spirit gathering lotus."

Shi Lang could not believe the lady was still stuck on acquiring that flower. However, she was right. After all, that flower was a natural treasure.

He asked, "So, how do we deal with this?"

Bo Qingtan replied, "I have no idea because if you go on, you will have to face corpses, and those guys could have corpse puppets stronger than us. Immortal Lord-level puppets will give us great trouble."

Yun Xue said, "We can purify the corpse puppets and defeat these people, but we do not have the Flame stones."

Shi Lang asked, "Flame stones? What are they?"

Yun Xue replied, "A treasure rich in the attribute of fire. It is capable of dispelling the negative demon energy."

The terran began to think, and after a few minutes, he said, "I have an idea, but you guys might not like it."

Bo QIngtan asked, "What idea?"

Shi Lang took a deep breath and replied, "I wish to fight them alone and will take them down easily."

Yun Xue replied, "Forget about us liking or disliking it. How will you even pull this off?"

Shi Lang replied, "I have a few skills you guys do not know about."

The terran took a battle suit from his space ring and put it on. He stretched his body several times, and the suit adjusted to his physique. The young man used his communicator and coordinated with the Owl.

The thunder tiger hated this owl, and it made it blind. If the beast hears an owl outside its abode, it will come out to hunt in rage. The angry beast will be a surprise for those corpse refiners.

Bo Qingtan said, "To win over these people, you must locate the puppet masters. These crooked bastards are weak in frontal combat. You can find them and kill them. They usually control the puppets from a distance."

Shi Lang nodded and said, "Thank you. I will keep this in mind. As for now, I will leave you both to focus on your cultivation. I will contact you with the communicator probes."

The two people agreed and watched Shi Lang jump from the tree. The terran was rushing, dressed in black clothing that stuck to his body. The attire surprised Bo Qingtan and Yun Xue.

The two people asked in unison, 'Where did you get those clothes?'

Shi Lang smiled and replied, 'Lower realm.'

The two people choked up on their words. They had no idea the lower realm could have such dashing attire. Shi Lang replied, 'I will get you some attire.'

The terran rushed through the woods and reached the edge of the thickets. He knelt on the ground and looked around carefully. The probes indicated the location of three people. They were all hiding in different spots. The human-faced owl flew above his head and perched on his shoulder.

Shi Lang interacted with his communicator and interacted with the bird. The bird hooted lightly back to the Terran. The translation was simple, 'How will you pay me back?'

The man shook his head, took two spirit pills from his space ring, and tossed them to the Owl. The bird accepted the reward and flew away to the cave entrance. The intention was to lure the beast out and divert the corpse refiners from the cave.

If they entered the cave and discovered the spirit pond, all their effort would be lost too. The thunder tiger was agitated and roared. The lightning-blue silhouette rushed out of the cave and roared at the owl. The human-faced owl did not faze and kept hooting while he hovered in the void.

Shi Lang did not bother with them. He focused his attention on the corpse refiners and moved about the trees to reach close to them. The terran located one of them and decided to go around the person. He would not just walk in on him; if the enemy alerted his teammates, it would be a problem.

He did not only have to fight the corpse refiners but also the heavy-duty puppets they used for battle. These puppets could be tricky for him to deal with. Shi Lang was sure that he had seen puppets back in the lower realms, and even his steward 3po was not easy to handle.

Thinking about this, he hid behind a tree, closed his eyes, and calmed his breath. His aura calmed down as he meditated, becoming one with nature. Shi Lang was now as indifferent as nature to humans.

He stepped out of the cover, and his sight was locked on the man sitting two hundred meters hidden in the bushes. The person was shrouded in a black cloak and seemed to be meditating. Before him stood a humanoid figure. Shi Lang looked carefully and concluded that it was a puppet.

Bo Qingtan's voice echoed in his mind, "That is an Immortal Lord-level corpse. The guy is currently adjusting his state of mind. You can kill him in one fell sweep if you attack him now."

Shi Lang did not react and walked ahead. His actions shocked the two people. They did not know what to say. If the corpse refiner noticed him, it would all be for nothing. The enemy will alert the allies, and they will first deal with the humans and then the beasts.

…

Yun Xue said, "Should we act?"

She was worried that Shi Lang was about to get into trouble. She did not expect him to be so careless that he would walk so carelessly in the tiger's den.

Bo Qingtan shook his head and said, "We must trust him. This guy is not a fool and is not as simple as he might seem."

Yun Xue sighed and watched Shi Lang approach the enemy. She could not help but feel her heart shiver from the actions of the Terran. She could not help but question, "What is going on? Why has the demonic cultivator not noticed his approach?"

Bo Qingtan furrowed his brows, and suddenly, it came to him. He mumbled, 'The sword is united with humans and will become a body part. When humans are in unison with nature, they become invisible."

Yun Xue opened her eyes wide and asked, "You mean to say that Shi Lang has attained a state where he is one with nature? That how is that even possible? He is so young."

Bo Qingtan shook his head and replied, "It is not that he is young. He has a richer experience than us. He must have seen a lot of things in the lower realm. That is why, even if he has not attained a state of unity with heaven. He can be indifferent, and all the spiritual fluctuation around him turns zero."

Yun Xue thought briefly and asked, "You mean to say that he is currently like a nonspiritual object in the conscious of the enemy?"

Bo Qingtan nodded and replied, "Yes."

…

Shi Lang stood fifty meters away from the target. His sight was clear, and the terran decided to make a move. He flickered from his position, and the enemy opened his eyes. He looked around to find the assaulter, but suddenly, a figure appeared before him, and then his eyes widened for a blink before they dimmed.

Before he even knew what had happened, he died. At this moment, a roar sounded from the side and Shi Lang retreated.
