Shi Lang had crossed the frozen river and the experience left his heart lingering with fears.
A few moments ago when he was moving like the wind, and ignoring Hou Bing's constant chatter, he sensed a creature charging towards the surface. He was not wrong, the creature that lived in the depths of the river was coming for him.
Shi Lang said, "Hou Bing, what are you going to do?"
Hou Bing was surprised and remarked, "I did not think you would be able to pick it up. What do you want to do?"
Shi Lang said, "I do not think I can win by fighting it using normal means. The creature is probably a Spirit beast Sovereign."
Hou Bing nodded and said, "You are smart, indeed this thing is an Immortal Sovereign and just so you know it is hunting for me."
Shi Lang almost wanted to strangle her and said, "You mean to say, that thing is coming over because it can sense your weakened state?"
Hou Bing nodded and Shi Lang replied, "Can you get off my hand, I have ten seconds to prepare for this battle."
Hou Bing replied, "I cannot fly away, that thing will come after me, look at my size, do you think I can be a match with that guy?"
Shi Lang gave up on his intention to divert attention. He was sure that this bird knew what was going through his head. He waved his hand and a big metal figure appeared five meters away from him.
Hou Bing was shocked, and Shi Lang rushed up the body and slid inside the cockpit as he said, "Initiate the Battle System."
He ignored the shock in the Phoenix's eyes, and said, "Do not fly around and touch anything. Or, this thing will explode. Do you understand?"
The sparrow did not know what happened, and just nodded in a daze. Shi Lang leaned back in his chair and said, "Initiate Neural Link."
The scene before him changed and he quickly used the superior power to jump forward. The mech was big and strong, it gave him the ability to jump hundreds of meters in one attempt. Just as he moved, the frozen ice below him exploded. A roar echoed in the surroundings.
Shi Lang sensed the ground trembling and the thick ice that has been frozen for centuries cracked up. He saw the data on the HUD and found that the place recorded an earthquake above 8 Richter scale.
He frowned and used the option to deploy probes to find out the size and characteristics of the beast he was up against. This thing was not small, and it was fast. So fast that it dodged his vision and the vision transmission arrays on the mech. The camera had been replaced by vision transmission arrays because spirit arrays were faster than tech.
Yet, he did not catch any sign of the beast movement. Shi Lang was surprised, but he was not off guard, on the contrary he became even more vigilant.
The probe sent the data that Shi Lang could not help but curse at. The enemy he was facing was a spirit beast sovereign, it was a whale, that was hundred meters big in size, and was now swallowing all the water inside the lake. It created a suction that made the ice floor tremble, and fragment from inside out.
Shi Lang sighed and controlled the mech to move over the broken hole where the beast attacked them for the first time. He took a deep breath and used the probe as a guide and locked onto the whale. He said, "Target is locked, firing spirit grenades."
Shi Lang raised his right arm and aimed the cannon at the beast in the lake and launched frags of spirit grenades. The size of each grenade was akin to a boulder, and thinking about something, Shi Lang fired only two of them.
The nades traveled through the water at a subsonic speed and the whale beast swallowed them. Shi Lang counted slowly, "Eight, nine, boom!"
As his count came to an end, the nades in the whale's stomach exploded. The pain was obvious from the beast's groans that made the entire ground tremble. Shi Lang commented, "You are noisy."
Then he sensed that other than the pain the beast did not show any sign of slowing down in his attempt to so he dived down the hole, and chased at the whale. He did not think that it was not his realm, but enemy territory. However, he was not scared. He took out a sword from the back of the mech, and it was covered with his sword intent right away.
Shi Lang did not need any lights to move through the dark region. The spirit grenades have already stopped the beast from swallowing the water under the ice. He just needed to kill that thing.
He moved quickly, using the propulsion device in his feet and back. The beast was unable to comprehend what was going on, even if it was fast, the whale was not faster than Shi Lang's blade.
The Terran slashed the blade and said, "Blood Rain."
He did not stop at one attack but kept on moving and slashing at the beast as if he was dancing. The groaning sounds did not stop at all. Inside the mech, Hou Bing was having the fright of her life. She was thinking, "Who the fuck did I make an equality contract with? This kid is a beast."
This was completely unexpected for her. She did not expect that Shi Lang would be such a ferocious warrior. This guy was so weak before her, so humble, but here he was, beating the shit out of the beast sovereign.
The attacks would not have made any impact on the body of the beast sovereign but the sword intent did not miss. Shi Lang did not wish to let such a strong enemy take advantage so he channeled a shred of lightning energy through the water too. The whale being a creature of affinity to water, was naturally weak against lightning.
Shi Lang's lightning was not ordinary, and he was not holding back. The black waters under the ice were glowing red as if they were fighting in a river of blood and not water. The Terran got closer to the beast.
The beast was enraged by the situation. How come he was being bullied by a human in a tin can? The whale let out a bleat and the dark waters were lit up with red lights. Shi Lang checked on the sensors and found that these were the underlings of the beast sovereign and he said, "Initiate overlord canons."
He raised both his arms in the void and six small canons appeared around his forearms. The federal technicians had put the computer to work in cooperation with the spirit arrays, and so the targets were locked and the cannons fired condensed spiritual energy, or to say lightning bullets.
Shi Lang was akin to a death god. He was moving his hands all over the place and the lightning bullets were killing the Beast Kings and lords like a chef dealing with carrot and radish.
The entire river was flooded with blood, flesh, and bodies. It was not only gruesome but it was also very efficient. The beasts developed a fear for Shi Lang, they hesitated in approaching him. They could not even cast their long distance attacks, because the Terran was just that overpowering to them.
The whale was bleating and trying to attack Shi Lang time after time, but its plan was being foiled by the Terran everytime.
Hou Bing was thinking what this guy would do if he became an Immortal God. She could not help but imagine his name being spread in the entire realm. Suddenly, the beast sovereign turned around with its massive body.
The waves caused Shi Lang to back off, and just when he was about to use a special move and drill a big hole in the carcass of the beast whale, the latter flipped its tail fin very strongly.
The impact created a current that threw Shi Lang out of the river. The Terran initiated the jets in the mech and stabilized himself in the void. He looked down in the river and said, "You shouldn't have thrown me out."
He channeled lightning in the blade and slashed it up at the sky. Hou Bing was confused by this, she wanted to ask why did he waste such a strong attack when the clouds turned gray and the red lightning as thick as a tree rushed down from them and struck the river below.
The impact caused the frozen ice to collapse with brutal cracks and following that the water of the river boiled up to a huge degree. Shi Lang landed on the bank on the other side and took a few breaths to calm himself down when he saw a Beast Corpse floating up on the surface of the river.
Hou Bing could not help but say, "Well, that was totally unexpected from you."
