Ace Of Terrans
Chapter 865: Bane Of The Bandits.

Shi Lang gripped his spear and he vanished from his place, the person he targeted was the strongest guy who was just talking to Duanmu Yan. The reason was simple, take down the commander and the rest of the enemy can be dealt easily when they panic.

Shi Lang was just a middle level Immortal Sovereign, if he needed to kill the enemy, then he would need to use all his strength, he never underestimated his enemy.

The bandits and the armored party were suddenly surrounded by a domain of golden lightning. They were caught off guard, and suddenly Shi Lang appeared before the enemy and his eyes flashed with red. He cast an illusion over his enemy, and then his spear stabbed forward with a dense intention to stab.

The rest of the bandits did not even have the time to react when the attack was completed and a hole appeared in the head of their leader. Shi Lang then flickered again and this time he aimed for the team that was fighting Duamnu Yan. The latter was not the strongest person in the two teams.

Shi Lang would have an easy time if this guy could help him killing the bandits with just his commanding ability. The second bandit was taken down the same way. The golden lightning shot through his head and then travelled through his entire body turning the internal organs to ashes.

Shi Lang attacked in a very erratic manner, his spear was like the scythe of the death god. In a few minutes, he had taken down three out of twelve bandits. Duanmu Yan saw this and said, "Attack, help him."

The pace of the battle turned quickly and the bandits were forced back. One of them yelled, "Retreat, Brother Chang is dead."

The bandits rushed away quickly, Shi Lang watched them and took back his boundary. Duanmu Yan clicked his tongue and said, "Cowards."

He took out the dagger stabbed in his chest and took a healing pill. It took him a few moments to calm down, his wound stopped bleeding and he looked at Shi Lang as he said, "Friend, thank you for lending a hand."

Shi Lang shook his head and said, "Take care of the children they are scared. I will leave now."

Duanmu Yan was surprised that this man did not ask for any reward. He noticed that the cultivation realm of this young man was a realm below the bandit and two realms below him, yet he managed to take down four bandits.

Duanmu Yan asked, "Friend, if you don't mind you can travel with us."

Shi Lang stopped in his tracks and then said, "Thank you but I prefer solitude. If fate permits, we shall cross paths again."

That said, he vanished. One of the armored figures looked at Duanmu and said, "Captain, this guy does not seem to be normal."

Duanmu Yan nodded and said, "I know, I could sense the essence of death on him. However, he is not like those dead beats, his mind is clear. You can see it if you look in his eyes."

The people nodded, and Duanmu Yan looked at the children as he said, "I hope someone can deal with those bandits, they have been getting out of hands lately."

...

Shi Lang walked through the wilderness at a slow pace. He was going after the bandits. Earlier when they were inside his domain, the Terran had left a shred of his spiritual essence on their bodies. He wanted to replace their strong hold. He also had the satellite monitor them, just in case those people removed the spiritual presence with some means.

After traveling for a day and a night he located a small valley. He checked the data on his communicator, the data showed a small settlement with seventy or so people inside. Shi Lang made a plan and then he moved inside the valley. He was wearing the void beast skin cloak.

This was his perfect cover and he was going to assassinate them. He did not have the strength to engage in frontal combat with these people. That would be foolishness. Shi Lang wasn't invincible, the earlier encounter was a success because those people were caught off guard.

Shi Lang moved around the place with a dagger in his hand. His cloak could be said to be the most optimal tool for assassination, as long as he did not circulate his true essence none of the people could sense him. They would be able to see him if he was to show before them but that was it.

Shi Lang sneaked up to the closest watch tower and found a man guarding the tower, he crept closer and with an indifferent gaze, he brandished his knife and stabbed the man in the back of his head. Then he sent a shred of lightning energy through the knife and turned his brain to mush.

The soul sea was crushed instantly, the enemy did not even have the time to whimper before he passed away. Shi Lang looked at the situation in the settlement and mumbled, 'Amy would have been able to take them out with just her rifle.'

Amelia had the ability to shoot invisible spiritual energy shots at the enemy and take them down without gaining any attention. He shook his head and sighed, he had been trying to not remember Amelia at every corner of his life but somethings did not work as we wanted.

Shi Lang focused on the task at hand and began to kill. He moved quickly and silently. The void cloak on his body was very helpful and within a few hours, Shi Lang killed almost sixty bandits. All of them had wounds in the back of their heads and their brains were mush.

Shi Lang did not make a move on the remaining ten people. They were all in seclusion so he could tell that they were strong people. He could not take them on even if he wanted to. However, he had prepared a gift for them. He rigged the bodies of the dead bandits, and then he placed the spirit stones in the ground to create a bunch of killing arrays and illusion arrays.

He came to the place where many women and children were put captives. The prisoners were surprised and Shi Lang spoke to them using his spiritual sense. They calmed down, but to make sure they did not make a ruckus, he sealed their vocal points and bought them out of the valley two at a time. His speed was fast.

He covered the people in his cloak to make avoid detection. After ten minutes, he gathered all thirty people outside the valley and fed them healing pills before he undid their seals. He said, "You all can go home now."

The people were shocked but when they sensed that they have their cultivation unsealed, they all dashed out except for a girl with a scar on her face. Shi Lang did not bother with her, he tapped his communicator and a loud explosion shocked the valley.

One single phaser-nade went off. Following the explosion Shi Lang heard a the remaining bandits come out and shout, "Who dares to mess with the Blood Knife Bandits?"

Shi Lang did not reply, he made a few seals with his hands and triggered the illusion arrays. The illusion was simple the bandits thought began to fight the culprit and destroy the valley while triggering killing arrays.

After three hours, Shi Lang walked inside the valley and found three survivors, all heavily injured. They saw Shi Lang at glared at him with the intention to kill. The Terran was unbothered, and took out a bottle of pills and said, "Seniors, I was passing by when I heard the sounds of battle. I have some healing pills, they would help you."

The bandits were laying on the ground bleeding from various spots. Shi Lang went a small distance close before he tossed them three pills. The bandits inspected the pills and then accepted them quickly. They took a breath and the pills melted in their bodies, however, just when they were thinking that they would heal they all coughed up blood and glared at Shi Lang.

The Terran said, "Did you think that I would help you for nothing? Scum like you deserve to be cleaned."

The bandit leader asked with hatred brimming from his gaze, "What the hell did you do?"

Shi Lang replied, "I just sprinkled some Heart Thorn powder in the place, you inhaled that over time, and now that you have consumed the healing pills, it triggered the poison of the heart thorn. So, you are as good as dead."

The bandit leader wanted to say something when one of them fell on his back. Shi Lang flickered and appeared before him and stabbed the man in the forehead with his finger. The lightning energy did its work and the man died as his spirit scattered to the samsara.

The bandit leader cursed Shi Lang, "You will die a horrible death."

Shi Lang nodded and said, "I know, and I am not scared of it. Now, die."

A few minutes later, he left the valley, behind him lay only headless corpses. Shi Lang had taken away the heads of the bandits to see if he could exchange them for a bounty. He was sure that his spirit stones might not work in this place.

However, the girl with the scar was waiting for him outside the valley, she had not moved even an inch from the movement he left. He stopped and asked, "What do you want?"
