Ace Of Terrans

…

While Shi Lang was treading inside the tunnel, Amelia was monitoring the status of everyone else with Milo and Hawk. She said, “Do we have any other method to monitor the alpha team?”

“Not in the enemy space, we don’t.”, said Milo.

Hawk said, “You seem to be rather worried about him.”

Amelia shook her head and said, “I am not worried about him._.

I am not worried about him. His skills are enough to raise hell over there. What I am worried about is him losing his way in all that fire of war. Others might think that Shi Lang is an almighty person, however, they must not overlook the fact that he is also a human. He also seeks an abode where he can give up all the worries and stress.”

When they heard this, Milo and Hawk fell silent, they literally did not know how to answer her anymore. After all, they were stronger than their peers and they could also relate to this situation.

…

Shi Lang and Sparrow took a couple of hours to reach the end of the tunnel and they had to diffuse a lot of traps inside to reach this point. Sparrow was very frustrated, she could not understand how scared this bastard was for his life that every few meters there was a trip wire or another deadly trap waiting for them.

She asked, “Boss, can I go trigger happy?”

Shi Lang chuckled and said, “Here I thought that was an obvious thing to do.”

Sparrow took a breath and fished out her handgun from the holster on her tailbone. Shi Lang stood under the cover of the trap door and jumped up. Because this was an entry point for the escape tunnel, this door was not equipped with any locks and there were no guards around this place.

Zana believed that the guards could go corrupt and they might betray him. Thus he created this network of tunnels, and also, had them all left unguarded so that he can use them without any trouble.

Shi Lang came out of the tunnel and stretched his limbs and waist. They have been walking in a crouching stance for the past two hours and even if he was a cultivator, his muscles were a bit stiff from this.

Sparrow followed his actions and after they had cracked their bones, the lady asked, “Boss, shall we make a move?”

Shi Lang nodded and said, “Yes, with pleasure.”

They both held their handguns and moved to the door. This tunnel entrance was made in a special room with the other tunnel entrances. Shi Lang and Sparrow moved to the door and simply pushed it. When in danger run for your life. This motto made Zana leave this door unlocked.

Sparrow could make out some grunting noises, she scanned the place with her spiritual energy and found that the people at the other side of the door were having a wild sex escapade. Seven or eight reptiles sticking to each other was something very new and obscure for her.

This was the limit of her patience, she pushed open the door, raised her handgun, took aim and phaser beams flew through the void. Shi Lang was right behind her and he supported her by dealing with any of the reptiles that tried to look back at them.

Within, ten seconds, everyone was shot and died in the head. Shi Lang walked over and ran a scan, he cast a glance at Sparrow and nodded. Zana was dead. The ending of this villain was very dim, but at least he died on the bosom of beauty if that was what he thought about the lizard below him.

Sparrow let out a sigh and her battle aura gradually entered a moderate state. Shi Lang said, “Do not overthink now. We still have hundreds of these to deal with.”

Sparrow nodded and they moved to deal with the people outside the room, Shi Lang had swapped positions with her and took up the point while the lady had stepped back to support him. Shi Lang held his handgun with two hands and close to his shoulder, while Sparrow followed ten meters behind him with an assault rifle in her hand.

The guards outside have been standing on alert, but what they did not expect was for the enemy to come from the inside. Shi Lang kicked the door open from the inside and shot the two guards in their heads with his handguns, while the rest of the guards were attacked by Sparrow with the rifle.

The combination was spectacular and almost automated. As if two gods of deaths had come down to reap lives. The two people coordinated very smoothly and moved ahead in the corridors to deal with the guards. By now the entire manor was alert and the guards were pouring in like they were moths to fire.

Yes, they all got burnt for their love for light and heat. Shi Lang was gradually falling into a state where killing gave him ecstasy. At some point, he has given up the handguns and was dancing with his spirit sword. Sparrow was shocked to see him like this.

Every step he moved forward was accompanied by a head rolling. His speed has risen to a level where phaser beams were tackled by his blade. The stone sword in his hand was a nightmare.

Sparrow had been channeling the spirit energy inside her eyes to keep up with the movements but that was not impossible anymore, what was more, she could not understand how Shi Lang was able to execute all the moves in a corridor so easily. The place was not as grand as it may seem from the outside. The passage was just a few feet wide.

She could not even tell if the color of the suit Shi Lang wore was originally painted or was stained by blood. The visor covered his face, but she could sense the joy inside him, as he was killing the guards.

After thirty minutes of relentless bloodshed, Shi Lang was literally scaring off the guards into running away. Yes, he had struck fear in their minds. It was not only the guards that were scared, even Sparrow was scared by this scene in front of him.

From the inside to the outside, corpses littered the floor of the mansion, and blood painted the walls. Shi Lang was a killing god walking among the mortals who tried to defy his majesty. When they reached the main hall of the manor, Shi Lang chuckled and said, “So, you wish to scare me with these?”

At this moment, he was being pointed at with real phaser canons. Yes, not guns but canons. The enemy did not want to take any risks so, they shot at him. Shi Lang did not hesitate as well and turned on the spirit suit on his body. When the phaser beams hit him, they raised a big cloud of dust, making the visibility almost zero.

Sparrow was worried, she was left behind earlier when Shi Lang rushed over here to chase a Lizardman. She arrived just in time to see the dust cloud rise, her heart almost jumped out of her chest, but then her visor showed her that Shi Lang’s vitals were alright and that he was still standing.

She was thinking about starting her suit and taking out the phaser canons when a burst of loud laughter echoed in the hall. The dust cloud made it difficult to discern whom it was from because the eerie feeling was too much to handle.

Suddenly, the laughter was followed by a few screams, Sparrow gulped and stood at her place, she knew that Shi Lang has made a move and was killing the lizardmen. He did not even need his visor to support him. He was enough with his enhanced speed and special ability.

The screams continued and when the dust cloud settled, Sparrow saw a bunch of lizardmen lying on the floor with holes in their chest. Then she spotted Shi Lang, who has dropped the hearts of the lizardmen on the floor. Yes, he dug out their hearts.

She saw him turning toward the main gate of the manor building and mustered up her courage to say, “General, they have long-range canons outside.”

Shi Lang stopped and said, “Don’t worry, I know what to do, Little Sparrow.”, followed by a cold chuckle.

Sparrow shivered, but there was nothing more that she could do. She saw Shi Lang pick up a phaser canon thrice his size, and slowly walk out of the main door.
