Ace Of Terrans

Jill and the rest of the team followed after Shi Lang, but all they found was a number of people fell to the ground, with their heads clenched in their hands as they all cried and whimpered. Sonic said, "Hurry up, the boss will not spare anyone at this stage."

Crystal could not help but ask, "What do you mean? Is this not the goal of the mission, we should be happy that he is willing to kill the targets, right?"

Ajax snapped back at her, "Shut up, what do you even know about the boss? He is not allowed to go seek blood, he will go insane from the battle lust inside him."

Crystal was shocked, she did not expect such an answer. Jill said, "Shut up, do not bother with her, we need to find the boss and stop him from killing any further. If anything happened to him, Amelia will erase us."

They all ran through the mountains and the forests at the full speed when they heard a few screams. Upon scanning, they found a group of a few hundred people who were split from the middle. The entire area had turned scorched. Sparrow shivered and said, "Big Sis Jill, I suppose it is too late to stop him now."

Jill asked, "What happened?"

Her voice was obviously filled with worry and Sparrow said, "There is no blood on the ground."

The entire team came to stop and they all looked down at the ground and the people looked around with shock. Aran performed a lot of scans and said, "This is impossible, where did the blood go?"

Sparrow said, "The shura sword, feeds on blood."

The team froze and just at that moment, they saw a huge sword slash falling down on the ground. The impact was so strong that the crust trembled and soon there were cracks. The team quickly moved away from the spot. After the commotion settled down, and they moved forward, they found a ravine at least a few hundred feet deep.

The walls of the ravine gave them a sharp tingling sensation in their eyes. This was simply too much for them to handle. Jill did not stop and rushed forward at a fast speed. This ravine was not performed from anything but Shi Lang's attack, they were sure about this. On the other hand, Crystal was shocked to the core of her soul, she did not expect this guy to be so monstrous.

After a few minutes, when the team trekked along the edge of the ravine. They found Shi Lang standing in the void. His hair had grown into a shawl that fell on his back reaching his waist and they were striking crimson in color.

The aura radiating from him was so murderous that the team sensed a chill run down their spines. They were all a few hundred meters away, yet the pressure was so strong. Jill said, "Do not reveal any emotion or battle instinct, no matter what happens. Also, no quick movements."

The team was cautious and they slowly approached the man who was staring at the bottom of the ravine. They could not discern what was going on with him when Shi Lang turned his head to look at them with his calm crimson eyes. This gaze was so indifferent as if he was looking at a bunch of corpses.

The team froze and lowered their heads, not daring to look them back in the eyes. Even Crystal was the same, she was praying in her heart that this guy does not find out anything wrong with her behavior. Shi Lang scrutinized them for a minute and said, "Jill, water."

Jill shivered, this was the first time that Shi Lang has spoken to her in such a mental state. She took out a small capsule from her utility belt and rushed over to his side. She handed him the capsule and then retreated. Shi Lang placed the capsule in his mouth and the capsule melted into water. The young man looked at the horizon and said, "Ah, they have come. You all stay here for the time being. I will need you to look after me later."

Shi Lang raised his hand and everyone heard a loud whistle, a fraction of a second later, a sword hilt landed in his palm. The shura sword had turned completely crimson in color, and it had a terrifying aura about it. The young man held the sword and calmly walked ahead. Crystal looked at him and mumbled, "Void Steps."

The team looked at Shi Lang walking in the void, and they shivered. It was no different from them climbing the stairs. Other than that the people were attracted to a number of Mechas that appeared on their radar scanners. Jill said, "They are all advanced mechs that the Ikeras use. Record all this and send it to Commander Harley."

The team nodded and they began recording the scene in front of them. Jill looked at Sparrow and said, "You will be on standby to look after him, Sparrow."

The girl nodded and Crystal said, "I can also help."

Jill cast her a cold gaze and said, "Do you think we are fools? Princess Crystal?"

The lady froze and Jill continued, "Boss, told me everything, if you do not wish to be apprehended, please stay quiet till this is all over."

Crystal suddenly sensed a few pokes on her body and then her spiritual energy was sealed. She looked behind her and found a silent girl from the team, Mitsu, poking her spiritual points. Sparrow said, "Calm down, the boss just wants to know why you played him like this, or you might not live. We know there is a protector in the shadows, but she will not be able to match with the boss at this moment. We seek your cooperation."

Crystal sensed that the people were not lying and were confident in their moves and nodded. She did not wish to see any bloodshed.

...

Shi Lang stood in the sky holding his sword and then the young man looked at twenty mechas standing in the void. The machines started firing phasers and psion beams at him, and although he was about to dodge them by flickering to different spots, Shi Lang was unable to make any advances. The higher-ups of the Celestial Shark Mercenaries were not too shabby to deal with him.

Shi Lang sighed and mumbled, "I will now show you all a skill that I have never used."

? He took a deep breath and said, "Shura Body."

The next moment, his body glowed with a crimson glow, and slowly, a layer of crimson flux surrounded his body, the volume of the flux increased so much, that he began to match the mecha in size. In his hand, a crimson sword appeared.

The team was shocked and Jill said, "Do not take him into the frame."

They did not wish to unveil anything to the strike force high table. The mechas were constantly firing at him but the beams were bending around the space. Suddenly the shura body raised its right hand and waved it. A gust blew, it was so strong that a few unprepared mechs shifted from their axis, and then the attacks hit their own allies.

The attack was disrupted but Shi Lang raised his left hand and held the sword hilt with both hands. The tip of the blade was diagonally pointing at the sky. Shi Lang raised his sword and then took a step forward. Then he slashed at the enemy.

The action seemed very simple as if he was practicing his move in the void, but then, a sword slash appeared in the distance and a mecha was slashed directly from the center. Crystal gulped and said, "His attacks are going through the void. This is not the primordial soul realm skill."

Jill snorted and said, "You should know by now, Boss does not play by the book."

Shi Lang kept on slashing and the attacks kept landing on the mechs, seven attacks took down seven mechas, and from the accidental crossfire from before five mechs were taken down. Now, there were eight mechas standing around him.

Shi Lang spread his arms and two swords appeared in both his hands. The people were looking at him eagerly and a voice sounded, "Shura kills in all directions."

Then, holding the blades horizontally, the Shura body spun on his toes, emitting a terrifying sword slash that negated all the phaser beams and then the sword slash destroyed the mechas.

The surrounding trees were uprooted from the onslaught, and the team was standing together to avoid being swept away. The Shura body slowly vanished, and Shi Lang descended to the ground. His landing was soft but he was not moving. Sparrow suddenly shouted, "Boss, fainted."

The team rushed to Shi Lang as his hair began to turn black. The man was done with his work.
