Ace Of Terrans

Chapter 678 Power Of The Sovereigns.

The terran even doubted if Tian Long could handle this thing alone. However, Tian Long was on his own. The last hope would be for Sovereign Zither\'s soul to join in confronting the demon sovereign, given that this fox was the only one present in the dark to witness the death of human soldiers and experts.

Tian Long was looking solemnly at the demon sovereign. He gripped the hilt of his sword tightly and was about to attack when the Demon Fox said, "You are nothing compared to that young man who killed all the beast kings. Tian Long, you will not be able to leave alive this time." 

Tian Long chuckled and said, "Demon fox, have you forgotten why you have only five tails left? Should I make them four or three?" 

The Demon fox let out a roar. It tried to enrage Tian Long, but the latter was better at infuriating the people. Sovereign Heavenly Dragon had his pride, and in the reply of the roar, he slashed his sword. The battle among the peak players began. However, Shi Lang was not sure if this was a good thing. 

His actions may have caused the dark hands to play their cards earlier than they intended to, but the night was still young. If the battle did not end before the night peaked, Shi Lang feared that Tian Long would be disadvantaged. 

He turned to gaze at Sovereign Zither Soul and found her watching everything unfold with her hands folded under her chest. He could not spot any nervousness on her face. He focused on her eyes and found her to be very solemn. He sighed, "This girl will never change her facial expressions. Just like the legends back home." 

Raksha said, "You know that is the Moon Jade you are talking about, the legendary cold beauty who even dared to slap Tian Long across his face when he was at the peak of his strength to wake him up from his arrogant mindset." 

Shi Lang nodded. At this moment, none of the people were paying him any mind. They focused on Tian Long and his fight against the demon fox. The fox and the human fought ferociously; the aftermath of their blows had killed many beasts in the surroundings, and the shock waves had made the human experts retreat. 

Shi Lang sighed and said, "I will take action if Zither Soul cannot help him in need." 

Raksha nodded and said, "I am confident I can kill this thing with your current strength if Tian Long manages to deliver a critical wound." 

Shi Lang nodded and conveyed the thought to Zither Soul, who was shocked but relayed it to Tian Long. The terran did not approach the old man directly if he disturbed him. Anyhow, the lady better understood how to break the news to him. 

Shi Lang observed Tian Long fighting even more seriously all of a sudden. He narrowed his eyes and said, "I did not expect this guy to become such a big opportunist. Look at his move. If old legends like Young Master Shun and Chilli Pepper Princess Yang Mi were to see him like this, they would curse him."

Raksha chuckled and said, "You bet they would. Tian Long despised such a manner of fighting and always took things head-on during those days." 

Shi Lang scoffed, saying, "This was why those dark clans always hunted him. Mister righteous offending the heavens and the shadows with his simpleton behavior." 

Raksha replied, "This adverb was why he practiced and became so cunning." 

Shi Lang nodded silently and watched the battle. Tian Long and the demon fox were embroiled in intense fighting. While Tian Long used his sword skills to attack, the demon fox used its wisp-like tails to define and its claws to attack the human. 

Tian Long had practiced many arts in his lifetime and was putting them all on display for the younger generations below. He truly hoped for at least someone to gain enlightenment by this display. 

Shi Lang sighed and watched everything. At this moment, when Tian Long was moving faster than the wind, and his blade was exploiting all the gaps exposed by the enemy, he realized why the person was so strong. 

He closed his eyes and repeatedly played the scene in his mind. After a few minutes, he concluded that sword art was the one he had heard legends about, The lost sword art of Yin and Yang. 

Shi Lang began to comprehend it. He was not going to leave this chance. The strength of this sword art was unlimited. The strength originated from the core of the sword art, where one person will follow the rules of yin and yang to augment their other sword arts. 

If Shi Lang managed to learn even a little bit, then the strength of his sword would increase by at least ten times. Raksha could sense his movements and created a barrier around him. The movements were subtle, but Fairy Moon Jade still caught them. She did not say anything after all, and it was common for people to learn from the seniors. 

It was not like Shi Lang would stand against Tian Long. She turned her mind back to the battle and found that Tian Long had lurched at an opening exposed by the demon fox and slashed at the root of its tail, the most sensitive spot of the demon fox\'s anatomy. The pain made the beast roar in madness. 

The dashed around and swallowed many of its kin. Tian Long could only watch it as he did not have the speed to catch up to this beast. The beast could heal all the injuries it had suffered till now, and Tian Long took various healing and rejuvenating pills. 

He narrowed his eyes and, holding his sword, said, "All or nothing, dragon sword art, yin and yang slash." 

He slashed the sword at the beast in a seemingly basic fashion. The attack was calm, and it was plain old slash. The speed was slow, but in reality, the attack was so fast and so ferocious that the void had begun to split even before Tian Long had finished the arc of his blade. 

Shi Lang was lost in cultivation, but he could still sense the sword\'s intent radiating into the void. Raksha, who was resting inside his spirit tattoo, was getting restless. This was just an innate feeling to flex her strength. All the swords worshiped the stronger blade, but Raksha was a competitive blade spirit. She just wanted to go out and block this attack. 

She cursed Shi Lang for being slow in her mind. The golden slash hit the demon fox even before it could react. The demon fox opened its mouth and blew the black breath of darkness, trying to suppress the attack. However, the attack was condensed with the laws of Yin and Yang; they encompassed all things and surpassed all things simultaneously. 

Tian Long could stand against the terrifying forces on the human side because of his understanding of Yin and Yang. He was not called the Heavenly Dragon just because of his name but because the Heavenly Dragon was an entity with a great understanding of Yin and Yang. The beast that guarded the north in the eight trigram seal. 

Tian Long\'s attack slashed through the black breath but was slightly corroded. However, the impact was still strong enough to cut off one tail of the demon fox and leave a ghastly gash on his chest. The gash was so deep that even the black jade-like bones of the beast were visible. 

Tian Long swayed slightly while the beast roared as it fell from the sky. Zither Soul took out her zither and appeared near the demon fox. She started playing a song and said, "Ripples of samsara." 

The notes intertwined and concentrated as they flew toward the other tail joints of the injured demon sovereign. Fairy Moon Jade was exhausting one of her most powerful cards to increase an even more severe injury to the beast. 

The notes condensed into shining silver weapons hurled at the beast. The demon fox wailed in rage, pain, and fear. The eyes of the beast were shivering in fear as the weapons neared it. 

Tian Long landed next to Shi Lang, and as the weapons finished their task of chopping off one more tail of the demon fox, he said, "It is now or never. This guy will run away."

Shi Lang opened his eyes and took out Raksha from his spirit tattoo as he said, "I do not have a habit of letting my prey go, Old man."
