NOVPUBShi Lang finished mocking Zen Yuan and the monk clenched his fist. The Terran chuckled and asked, "You know that your temper is that of a child. How did you even manage to comprehend the path of a supreme with this mindset?"
Zen Yuan looked at Shi Lang, and found that a similar circular seal had appeared in the center of his brows as well. The Terran smiled and said, "You think that this seal is the reason why you can't influence me?"
Zen Yuan kept gazing at Shi Lang, the confident displayed by the other party made it very hard for him to not think and try to act cautiously. However, the next moment, his caution turned into shock that caused his soul to shiver.
Shi Lang displayed a supreme aura and a seal that was a complete nine circulation seal. The young monk shivered and asked, "How.."
His voice was akin to a whisper but Shi Lang caught it, and then he replied, "Its simple, isn't it? I am better than you, just that."
He didn't mind insulting his enemy, trying to target the weak points exposed by the enemy was always a key point in the way he fought. To Shi Lang the concept of righteousness was flexible. If someone didn't mess with him, he wouldn't mess with him, but this guy was about to kick start a big Dao disrupting chain of events and Shi Lang couldn't allow for that to happen.
Zen Yuan was in a state of shock and Shi Lang said, "So, what do you say, shall with battle and settle this once and for all?"
The monk woke up from his stupor and saw a golden light flashing before him. Although he was a high-level cultivator, at the peak of the Dao Emperor realm, but he was still caught off guard and the bullet hit his shoulder.
Zen Yuan took a step back and then he raised his left palm and said, "Celestial Palm."
A huge palm manifested and was hurled at Shi Lang, the Terran raised his brows, the power behind this palm was anything but simple. He let out a punch, "Shura Fist, shattering the heavens."
The fist and the palm manifestation collided, and then they dispelled each other after throwing the two men off into distance. Shi Lang coughed a little and said, "You are the first person after many encounters who managed to handle my attack with such ease. Come, let us fight."
The two people began to exchange punches and kicks. Yes, Shi Lang held the upper hand when it came to his speed and technique, but Zen Yuan was not simple either. He had a better foundation than Shi Lang. Even after the damage to the lotus podium he was still better than Shi Lang, the reason probably lay in the guidance her received directly by the Fourth Holy Dao Beast.
Shi Lang didn't care about such a thing much; he fought with all that he had. As the two of them ended on the par in unarmed combat. Shi Lang took out his sword, and Zen Yuan took out a staff.
The battle caused the void to ripple, and when they used stronger attacks, it even caused tine space fissures to appear in the surroundings. However, the two people fought without holding back. Shi Lang danced around with his sword while Zen Yuan tried to catch him with his sword. It was said that one inch longer was one inch stronger.
However, Shi Lang moved in closer to Zen Yuan and closed the distance and many time delivered shallow cuts to the monk. The wounds were superficial, and they healed in a blink, but Zen Yuan realized that if Shi Lang got a chance, then his life would end.
The monk began to fight harder, and even invoked spiritual spells. Shi Lang countered it all to the best of his ability and even used his own spiritual spells.
After a couple of hours, the young man took a deep breath and the monk asked while they stood at some distance from each other, "How can I not even touch the hem of your clothes?"
Shi Lang smiled but didn't reply. He raised his hand and said, "I have never played this well in a lifetime. Zen Yuan, I really want to say that I respect you, but I can't. You diverted from your path and caused so much trouble. I have no option but to fight you till the end."
Zen Yuan raised his brow and asked, "The way you talk, it seems to me that you are very confident in handling me? What is it that gives you such confidence?"
Shi Lang smiled and raised his left hand. In the center of his palm, there was a black mark, which was now as big as a peach pit. He showed the mark to Zen Yuan, and said, "This is my backing, do you think you can match it?"
Zen Yuan couldn't sense anything from the mark, and he mumbled, "Poison?"
Shi Lang chuckled and then he said, "Indeed, the worst poison that could exist in the world."
Zen Yuan frowned and shook his head, Shi Lang looked at him, and said, "I will make three moves now, but before that, tell me, who influenced you?"
The monk was shocked, Shi Lang said, "From what I know, you were an orphan, being guided by that old turtle should have been the wildest thing you could ever dream of, then what made you think that the Great Dao was nothing much and you could replace it?"
Shi Lang was an expert when it came to Logic and Reasoning. How could people stop dreaming? Everyone had an ambition in this world, and once they reached their goals, they would go and dream bigger. That was how dreams worked. Often there are triggering points that could inspire the people to think big and dream bigger.
To Shi Lang, Zen Yuan was just like that, a kid who saw a dream, chased it, completed it, and then he saw a bigger dream. The young man took a deep breath and asked, "What is it Zen Yuan? Are you perhaps afraid that once you admit the truth you won't be able to advance?"
Zen Yuan shivered, his eyes widened as he looked in Shi Lang's eyes, and the Terran cast the Shura Illusion. He didn't put Zen Yuan through any pain, but he made the monk think that he was already the king of the world.
Shi Lang moved closer to the monk and his immortal spirit entered into Zen Yuan's soul sea. The monk shivered but he calmed down. Shi Lang could sense the illusion working well, but he slowed down the pace so that Zen Yuan doesn't wake up.
The Terran looked deep in the consciousness of the monk, and skimmed through his memories. Then he heard Zen Yuan mumbled, "All thanks to Realm Lord Kaiser!"
Shi Lang raised his brow and pulled back from the consciousness of the monk. He wanted to raise his hand and finish the battle completely by using the Time Seal, however, he sensed some foreign presence descending on to Zen Yuan.
He moved to a distance, adjusted his muscle stature, his skeleton and his aura a little before his face also changed. Shi Lang was not a human, he was a Terran, and body shifting skills were natural for them, as they refined the blood and genes in their bodies. At this moment, even if his mother was to appear before him, she wouldn't be able to recognize him let alone the others.
The foreign Presence took possession of Zen Yuan and then looked at Shi Lang in a momentary daze before a hoarse voice sounded, "Hmmm, so you are the savior chosen by the four animals."
Shi Lang didn't reply, and the person continued, "You can kill this waste but sooner or later, how about you replace him? I can give you anything you want, just work for me."
Shi Lang still didn't reply, his silence irritated the presence on Zen Yuan, it kept trying to recruit the Terran to his side, however, after a few minutes, the world laws reacted, the presence became weaker, and it yelled, "Human, I have remembered you, if you ever managed to rise high, I will slay you and your entire clan."
Shi Lang waited for the presence to retreat completely and then he watched Zen Yuan wake up in a daze. The Terran sighed and said, "You sold the humanity in you to an alien. You really deserve to die."
That said, he raised his left hand and the time seal began to spread out from his hand. The black wisps of energy flew over to Zen Yuan, the monk didn't even react as his body began to age.
After some thought he smiled and said, "You have my gratitude. In these last moments, I have realized a lot of things, and thus, I am free from the bounds. Thank you."
Shi Lang didn't say anything, he watched the body of the Buddha son turn into ashes and just when his Immortal Soul was about to rush away, Shi Lang's gaze flickered with red and he trapped the soul in his Shura Domain.
Raksha appeared next to him and said, "It was so anti climatic."
Shi Lang nodded and said, "What could I do? He was just that weak."
