Chapter 1010: Trial Of The Chronos City.
Shi Lang stood on the ground, he was not wearing any armor. Just a normal red and black hanfu and his spear. The young man had denied all sensibility and attacked the reverse scale of the winged-dragon.
This caused the beast to increase more than twice in size, and the rage also amplified. As the grey colored behemoth roared, the ground shook. It charged through the void, tearing the wind and clouds, rushing towards Shi Lang with its murderous mouth wide open as if it would swallow the entire world.
The Terran on the other hand stood on the ground calmly, and when the beast was a little further than hundred meters. He took a battle stance. His movements seemed drowsy, as if he did not care about the threat posed by the Dragon.
His actions were causing the guards to doubt their existence and understanding, while it enraged the Dragon as well. Never had they seen anyone acting in such a manner.
Shura took a step forward and stabbed his spear forward as he said, "Lightning shower."
Chii, Chinnn!!
The sound of sparks echoed in the surroundings, and then everyone saw a mirage of lightning spears hitting the dragon square on its face. The impact did not cause much harm but a cluster of explosions shook the dragon and caused it to deviate from its trajectory, and bypass Shi Lang.
The terran stomped the shaft of his spear on the ground and said, "Kid, you need to stop hesitating. So what if that thing is a dragon? You were born from the aftermath of a thunder tribulation. What fuck are you hesitating for? Get a grip."
He waved his hand and the battle armor appeared before everyone. Shi Lang casually began to put it on and then he stretched his body as he said, "Hmmm, Tao and Commander improved the design even more. Later, I will get them some good gifts."
Now the young man was dressed in a close fitting battle armor that was covered with multiple layers of formation arrays, and defense arrays. The Terran grabbed hold of his spear, and looked at the Dragon that was circling around, he dashed forward.
Shi Lang had enough, that one time gave him the idea of what the Dragon could handle. When was Ace ever known to give time to his enemies to take the chance and attack him?
Shi Lang would always take the lead, this was his style. This was his dance, the dance of death. Many people and things have fallen in his hands, and this dragon would be one more. It was no longer a test for Shi Lang, but for the dragon, how long can it last against this monster that craved chaos and destruction.
Shi Lang was given a free hand when he was said to face this beast. The Terran ran with the speed of lightning and covered five hundred meters in a blink, and he seemed to be running in the void.
The Terran was condensing the tiny portions of space under his feet and using them to propel himself faster and faster in the void. He did not use his spiritual energy to fly as it would be slower than his method now.
In battle, even a second of delay could cause death. Shi Lang used his quick step to approach under the dragon's belly, and he stabbed upwards, "Rising Lightning."
The stab was made upwards, and hit under the belly. The impact caused the Dragon to roar, and it was thrown up. This was the force that Shi Lang executed the move with. Then the Terran vanished again, and this time he appeared above the head of the dragon.
He held the spear from the end of the shaft and swung it like a mace, falling down on the snout of the beast.
Dang!!!
It was as if two metal artifacts collided, and the shockwave rippled in the surroundings. The beast fell down, and Shi Lang vanished from his spot, yet again. This time he appeared on the back of the beast and aimed at the joint where the wings were attached.
Shi Lang said, "Shura Stabbing The Heavens."
The spear was covered with concentrated lightning energy and it shot dug inside the joint of the dragon. Shi Lang smiled, he channeled his lightning and flame energy inside the body of the beast, and before it fell on the ground, the joint exploded.
ARNNNNGGGGHH!!
The winged dragon roared in pain as it fell to the ground with a loud bang. The Terran stood on the side, watching the beast wail. He knew that this thing was not yet dead, however, he was no longer in a hurry to kill it.
Thinking about it, he took a deep breath and looked at the guards, who were watching him with shock in their eyes, and asked, "Can I kill it?"
The guards shivered, and one of them took out a bugle and blew air in it hard.
After a few moments, a young lady dressed in emerald green qipao appeared in the void above the guards. The group of people knelt on the ground and the lady asked, "Bhairava, what happened here?"
Bhairava, the guard who was talking to Shi Lang said, "Your excellency, Kragon has been defeated."
The lady raised her brow and turned to look at the Terran, who was standing on the groaning dragon's head. The lady said, "How long did it take him to bring down Kragon?"
Bhairava replied, "Five minutes from the moment he came to the city and the moment he defeated Kragon."
Finally, there was a spark in the eyes of the young lady and she said, "Bring him in, Elder Paashu will see him."
That said, she vanished and Bhairava appeared next to Shi Lang and said, "Brother, get down. You have done enough."
The Terran took a deep breath and said, "You really won't let me kill this beast?"
Bhairava put up a bitter smile and said, "Had it not been for the fact that you did this to him in the trial, believe me, death would be counted as a luxury."
The Terran took a deep look at the young man and asked, "Why? Bro, is this guy a royal beast or something?"
Bhairava nodded and said, "Something like that, please come with me. You need to see Elder Paashu first."
Shi Lang nodded, he waved his hand and the battle armor dissolved back into a few drops of nanobot and was stored inside his space ring. Bhairava was surprised by this but Shi Lang did not explain. As they were walking towards the city gates, Bhairava said, "I am Bhairava, the guardian chief and the commander of the Chronos City army."
Shi Lang smiled faintly and replied, "I am Shi Lang."
Bhairava nodded in acknowledgement and said, "You are the first one to defeat Kragon."
Shi Lang raised his brow and asked, "What about the people before me? None of them defeated him?"
Bhairava shook his head and replied, "I have never seen a fighter as ferocious as you. Not giving the beast any chance at all. Those people could only last for ten minutes against Kragon and were allowed to cultivate outside the wall and absorb as much Dao Fluctuations as they could."
The Terran nodded, and thought, 'This means I am the first outsider to get in the city. I have to make the most of it.'
Bhairava could see through his thoughts and said, "You are thinking the right way, do your best."
Shi Lang did not reveal any surprise and nodded. He understood that these people could sense thoughts, it must be some skill, and if that was it, he wanted to learn it.
As they entered the city gates, Shi Lang asked, "Who was that lady earlier? Was she the queen of this city?"
Bhairava was stunned and then he chuckled as he shook his head and replied, "No, we don't have any kings or queens in this city. That lady is Lady Sutra, she is like the manager of all the things that go around in the city."
Shi Lang nodded and looked around the city. Suddenly, he stopped in his steps as his body shivered. His breathing picked up pace, and Bhairava was surprised. Shi Lang used his sensory ability to the peak and after a few minutes, a tear formed in his eye.
The Guardian Chief asked, "Brother Shi Lang, what happened?"
Shi Lang opened his mouth but he could not make any sound. The Terran had to take a few minutes to calm down before he said, "This place, it has another name right?"
Bhairava was surprised and nodded, then he asked, "How do you know about that, it has been eons since that name was used."
Shi Lang replied after taking a few deep breaths, "One person who managed to find this city was called Ouyang Baek. He comprehended the meaning of plucking."
Bhairava tried to recall it and nodded with surprise. Shi Lang raised his head to look at the center of the city, "The dome of Dao stands tall in the distance, holy and eternal. The walls echo the melody of enlightenment.
The Omni City Of Dao. Haven for all the cultivators who are trying to find a way to Dao."
Bhairava opened his eyes wide, and asked, "How do you know this?"
