Shi Lang watched as the lady vanished from his sight. He wanted to move forward but his strength was lacking. He knew that continuing would only result in significant injuries. Thinking about it, the young man sighed and sat down on the ground and took a few pills. Raksha appeared beside him and asked, “Why didn’t you let me fight?”
Shi Lang replied as the wounds on his body healed, and he said, “I cannot use all my strength and moves against her holiness. I will lose control if I started to use the slaughter intent to the max. They are here to test me and not kill me. When I hold you I cannot suppress the battle intent. Her Holiness was testing my close combat and wit. Using you would be inappropriate.”
Raksha thought for a bit and smacked the back of his head and said, “Idiot. If you were to use, me the battle would have ended sooner.”
The Terran was left speechless, and he sat down healing.
…
In the distance, Bai Hu appeared in the air beside the middle-aged man. Her appearance has been restored. The man asked, “What do you think? Is he strong?”
The white tiger said, “I limited my strength and that was why he was able to counter me. However, that was the intention of my test as well. His mortal morals still live inside of him.”
The middle-aged man nodded and said, “After this trial, we will be asked to return to the Heavenly court and the struggle of ranking will be open in another twenty years, I wonder if this realm could rise higher this time.”
Bai Hu nodded and said, “Well, we should talk about that later. For now, it is your turn. Force him to do better, push out his strength.”
The middle-aged man nodded and said, “That is what I intend to do from the start.”
…
Shi Lang took an hour to recover and then he was about to proceed when he saw a middle-aged man appear with a long saber in his hand. The Terran sighed and cupped his fist to the man as he said, “Greetings, Your Holiness.”
It was not that he was being servile with them, but he respected their standing within the norms. These Holy Dao Spirit beings have been in the world since the moment it was created, how could he not respect someone who holds so much wisdom and knowledge? They were the witnesses of the times.
The middle-aged man nodded and said, “Draw your weapon, I want to see the skills of a sword saint.”
Shi Lang knew that he could not use his brain to get out of this. He said, “Then I will be impolite, Your Holiness.”
His state of mind changed and his face became indifferent. He grasped the void and Raksha materialized in his grip. The young man took a deep breath and then he walked toward the middle-aged man and said, “Four Season Sword.”
The middle-aged man was surprised a little when he saw Shi Lang walking over with a calm step. However, the change in the wind didn’t escape his senses. The wind had picked up pace and it was feeling extremely dry. Shi Lang didn’t have any ice element capability but he had comprehended the essence of the cold weather and his sword reflected that comprehension. The azure dragon raised his saber and attacked the young man who returned the strike with his own. The blades collided and they caused the void to ripple, the young man smiled and said, “Good.”
Then he began to dance with his blade and they began to fight. The Azure Dragon was also using an art but it was too profound for Shi Lang to understand it too deeply. All the Terran could tell was that the saber of his enemy was very strong and fatal.
The battle between the two people was purely a contest of their sword and saber, but as the time passed, the intensity increased. The wind changed and the temperature fluctuated as Shi Lang fought. The young man took a deep breath and said, “Crane Folding Sword.”
He assumed a stance similar to that of a samurai and then his sword began to fly.
Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!
That was the only noise echoing through the surroundings. The grass on the ground was cut so fine by the after math of every blow that it basically left only roots on the ground. The Azure Dragon didn’t understand what Shi Lang was doing, his sword style changed from a balanced attack style to an aggressive style. His blade was forcing the Azure dragon to take half a step back and defend. The speed was so quick that sometimes it felt like Shi Lang was using two swords to attack.
The Terran was focused on his attacks, and as he fought, he sensed the Azure Dragon radiating a strong saber intent in the surroundings, that caused the void to twist. Shi Lang retaliated in kind, and his attacks also became stronger. The sword intent in the void was leaving behind self-healing fissures, however, they did cut the void as if it was a simple window paper.
The middle-aged man frowned and said, “Wrath.”
His saber turned even more violent and the clash between the two heightened to another level. Shi Lang was taken aback, and suddenly his forearm was covered with multiple cut wounds. He said, “Holy Shura Body.”
His skin turned to jade, and his hair turned golden. The next moment the young man said, “Lightning Dragon.”
His sword intent was fused with multiple intents and was released. Shi Lang didn’t hold back and the two attacks collided against one another. The impact was significant, and the ground under their feet was scorched. Then the middle-aged man said, “Dragon Domain.”
Shi Lang sensed a heavy pressure fall on his shoulders, as his feet sank inside the ground. He replied, “Shura Domain.”
He cast his own domain around him. However, his goal was not to attack Azure Dragon, but to retain his movement speed. The dragon domain was creating a strong pressure on his body, and would prove fatal if he didn’t act now.
The battle continued, and after five minutes, Shi Lang’s body was covered with cuts, it was bleeding, and his Holy Shura Body was diffused. The young man took a deep breath and replied, “Your Holiness, you sure don’t hold back.”
The Azure Dragon smiled and said, “You shouldn’t hold back either, Young Man.”
Shi Lang said, “You called for it, Sir.”
He raised his right hand, the world around him froze, and the Azure Dragon was shocked. Shi Lang invoked the laws of time. Although Azure Dragon was an entity that worked with Dao in his heart, but to counter this technique, he needed a few seconds, and Shi Lang wouldn’t let him have that time.
Shi Lang waved his hand and said, “Shura slashing the heavens.”
His ten dao swords appeared in the void and then they all slashed at Azure Dragon with an equally strong force. The dragon narrowed his eyes, and slashed his sword horizontally and said, “Severing Heavens.”
The two attacks collided, Azure Dragon was ten times stronger than Shi Lang, and when the attack finished, Shi Lang took back several steps and his lips had a trace of blood that he forcefully gulped back. However, Azure Dragon was not completely unharmed. The web between his thumb and the index finger was broken, and it was bleeding.
This was the first time this guy had suffered an injury, even if it was insignificant, it was still an injury. He took a deep breath and replied, “You are good, you are the first being to have injured me. I will give you the credit. This battle ends now; you pass the trial.”
Shi Lang took a deep breath and made an effort to bow slightly. Then he asked, “The five-elemental temple, where is it?”
The Azure dragon said, “Past this tree line, you will find the temple.”
Shi Lang thanked the man and the latter continued, “In the coming two decades, there would be a great struggle in the Dao Plain. At that time, be ready and make sure to retaliate. That is all I can tell you. Although it won’t be easy, but still do it.”
Shi Lang was surprised and then he nodded and said, “Thank you for the heads up, Your Holiness.”
Azure Dragon nodded and said, “After this we four will be going back to the Heavenly Court. You are free from the duties of a champion.”
Shi Lang was surprised and then he said, “Hou Bing didn’t even come back to say goodbye. Well, I knew she was heartless.”
The Azure Dragon chuckled and then he said, “You are good, Shi Lang. Someday, I will see you in the Heavenly court.”
Shi Lang was stunned, and then he saw the Dragon take off his armor and tossed it to Shi Lang and said, “This armor would protect you. Take it.”
Shi Lang thanked the man and the person vanished from his spot.
