Ace Of Terrans

Allandale said, "General Shi is approaching the starboard airlock."

...

Shi Lang stood above the airlock hatch, and since he could not allow the people inside the ship to trigger the defense mechanism, he would have to tear apart the entire door in one go.

Thinking about this, he decided and said, "The moment I touch the panel with any penetrative tool, it will trigger the breach alarm, and then the people inside will use an even bigger barrier to secure the airlock, and my space suit will not help me in the espionage."

The message was delivered to his team, but Shi Lang did something none of the people would have advised him to do before anyone could say anything. He undid the space suit using the remote panel on his left sleeve.

He only heard a slight noise from his speaker before the vacuum exposure nullified the internal suit air pressure. The feared implosion did not occur as Shi Lang was protected by a layer of spiritual energy over his body.

The young man removed the complete suit and took out his sword from his spiritual tattoo.

...

The people inside the Terran Spaceship were shocked. They could not believe that Shi Lang had removed the spacesuit from the decompressed space. Unity chuckled at them, saying, "You people sure underestimate the mystical side of the spiritual energy."

The people could see Shi Lang standing on the surface of the enemy ship in full glory as the camera docked to his spacesuit drifted afar.

...

Shi Lang slashed his sword four times, and the airlock was blasted outside from the negative pressure on the inside. The terran general jumped inside, activated his suit\'s camouflage feature, and leaned to a side. He was strong enough to deal with this pressure flood.

As he predicted, the enemy triggered the secondary barrier to protect the airlock. The pressure was stabilized automatically as the tech personnel approached the airlock to check what was happening. Shi Lang let his sword levitate beside him while he took out a stun gun to deal with the small fries.

He would not harm those who were not demon cultivators. However, if any people triggered his talisman, they could forget about getting away alive. Shi Lang waited till the technicians opened the airlock tunnel from the other side. As soon as they did so, the young man used his stun gun and put the two people down.

The ace of Terrans ventured inside the enemy grounds, holding a stun gun and a detection talisman while a levitating crimson sword followed him. His presence was detected as he gave up his camouflage. He did not need it anymore. Only to ease his infiltration did he wait inside the airlock tunnel.

It took him ten minutes to deal with the enemies, but he did not find any demon cultivator except the captain of this vessel. Finally, the man kneeled before Shi Lang as the latter asked, "Why did you give into this absurd notion?"

The man could not breathe appropriately from the pressure on his shoulders. How was he going to put up a struggle against this person? He said, "It was the order from the main line. I have been stuck in this position for a long time. I come from the line of a patriarch. However, I had no hope of a promotion. When the patriarch said that those who willingly try these methods will have a better life, I thought of my daughter and gave into it."

Shi Lang shook his head and said, "You gave up your morality for comfort. However, you have never been able to sleep properly ever since. She should have stayed unhappy if that is the cost of your daughter\'s happiness. Though, you do not have a daughter yet."

The man before him was shocked by the last part of the statement when Shi Lang waved his hand, and a sharp intent of sword severed the person\'s head cleanly. Blood sprayed out from the veins, and some fell on Shi Lang as the corpse fell forward. He will not let any demonic cultivator leave alive.

...

Shi Lang looked at the ship crew that put up some fight earlier and said, "If you wish to live, put down the shield and allow my ship to dock with your vessel."

The people were traumatized by the death of their captain. Left with no option, the technician turned down the shields, and Shi Lang communicated with his spaceship.

Nile was quick and had already moved in when the shields were taken down. The docking was successful, and looking at the scared soldiers, he sighed and said, "I only need you all to stay inside the containment cells, and we will do you any harm. Okay?"

Tex volunteered to round up all the soldiers and shifted them to the confinement cell while the Terran team took charge of the vessel. Amelia glared at Shi Lang the entire time, but the young man could only sigh in response.

How would he tell her that the spiritual energy could even allow him to travel through space if he were to try? He decided to deal with this issue later and focused on the task. Jenkins said, "We received a message from Darcx. He got the young master on board with our invasion plan."

Shi Lang raised his brow and said, "That makes things easy. However, we still need to move in closer to teleport."

Hayley asked, "Do we not have a large teleportation formation back at the war planet? Why did we not use that instead of a separate one? Also, why do we need to get close to the home planet? Do not take offense, but Boss, these are just a few things eating away my mind."

Shi Lang gestured for Marly to speak and said, "Well, the spiritual fluctuation of the large formations can alert any strong enemy hiding there. Also, some experts can backtrack the formations. If we are to die, then the formation will not be able to link the federation to this attack. The system will declare us all excommunicated too."

Hayley nodded, and Marly said, "The smaller formations will allow us a better stealth approach and ease the skirmish at the ground."

The people understood why the initial plan was changed. Jenkins asked, "The ground team. Who are the lucky ones?"

Shi Lang took a deep breath and said, "As discussed before, Jenkins, you will lead the ground team. Tex will be your support. Tchal, Nile, and Eline will be wings.

The second team will be Me, Allandale, Hayley, and Amy. We will meet up with Darcx before the attack. Unity will be the ultimate backup.

Team A will be dealing with the forces of the main family. At the same time, Team B will be assaulting the main line. Clear?"

The people replied, "Hoorah!"

Shi Lang nodded and said, "Now that you have come to terms with the plan. Young Master Tex, can you coerce crew members to act along with us? Senior Unity can keep an eye on them till we are off, or I can leave behind a clone. Marly, go set up the formation."

The two people nodded and left. Ever since the battle, Tex had been very obedient. Finally, Unity asked, "Why do you need those people?"

Shi Lang said, "They know the protocols better than us; with their help, we can get to the substation dock. Also, release our spaceship and set it on beacon mode."

Allandale nodded and remotely controlled their spaceship. He said, "Sir, it will take us forty-eight hours to reach the substation."

Shi Lang nodded and said, "That much time is enough for Marly to arrange the formation."

Amelia said, "I have a strange feeling that we might be facing that big guy soon."

The mood turned solemn and Unity said, "Do not worry, we will face him sooner or later. What matters is that we will not be alone."

The people nodded but Shi Lang stared through the pothole on the side of the cabin and Unity asked him telepathically, \'What are you thinking about?\'

Shi Lang replied, \'This life has been very fulfilling, and I reached the Mahayana in my twenties. However, this feeling that the battle with the enemy in the dark might be my last and I could miss out on transcending mortality one more time. How lame is that?"
