Ace Of Terrans-Chapter 1027: Counter.

Shi Lang left the big city and was handling the clean up of the monks when after seven days, he received the intel from Zen Lei. The old monk said, "Sir Shi, what you seek lies in the centre of the land. Be careful, you would need to pass through seven layers to find the core."

Shi Lang rolled his eyes at the way this man said things. Like unnecessary dramatization of the situation, and for what? The young man raised his hand and checked the holographic map. After a few minutes he managed to locate the place that was described as the centre of the land. It turned out to be a small secluded island that sat between a pond.

The satellite scan displayed seven layers of security spanning over fourteen hundred kilometres. The young man sighed and said, "Raksha, what shall we do?"

The sword spirit appeared beside him and said, "Well, if you attack the first layer of the people, then it would attract attention from the monks in the back."

Shi Lang nodded and replied, "I cannot literally go and just fight straight. They may be cultivators, but looking at how neatly these lines are arranged, they are in a military command."

Raksha nodded and after a few moments, Shi Lang slapped his forehead, and the sword spirit said, "Do you want to die so badly that you intend to crush your skull like that?"

Shi Lang sighed and said, "I have forgotten my roots."

Raksha raised her brows and then she saw Shi Lang squeeze out some drops of blood from his pores and seven clones appeared beside him. The young man took out seven spirit armors from his space ring and tossed them to the clones as he said, "I have a task for you all."

That said, he took out the holographic map and began to tell them the plan. The clones had fifty percent of his original power, and even if they are obliterated, the momentary ripple they create would give him a chance to rush through the barrier.

Given the strength of his clones, they would be able to break through at least three layers. After that, Shi Lang had other methods to continue.

The clones dashed out, and after a few hours, Shi Lang moved. They had moved closer to the lines while discussing the plan earlier, and now the clones have commenced the attack. Shi Lang could sense all that they were doing, and thus he charged through.

Each of his clones killed several of the first layer guards. The monks were stationed according to the ascending order of their strength. Shi Lang crossed the first layer with ease. The people didn't detect him, and instead of moving through the void, he moved on the ground.

The battle was unfolded above his head, and many a times Shi Lang had the urge to act and slay these monks. Every layer had about a thousand people and the clones had to spend some effort in countering them.

Shi Lang followed through the mess, his clones didn't kill people, but injured them in a way that none of them could fight any longer. Screams, and wails were much scarier and more unsettling when a war is being unfolded.

It is not easy to avoid them despite the mind calming chants, the monks couldn't neglect their fallen brothers. These young monks, they have been infected by Zen Yuan, but because they haven't made it far on the path, they still had human emotions inside them, and the wails ignited these emotions.

Shi Lang moved through forest and approached the fourth line after one day of delay. He had been concealing his spiritual energy and traversed akin to a mortal. This was why it took him a long time to move forward. At the fourth line of defense, there were monks from the Dao Lord Realm, and they had already deduced the way Shi Lang's clones attacked, so they pacified the attacks in a blink.

However, their opponent was Shi Lang, the young man took out the Mech he had been modifying these days on the spirit vessel, and entered the cockpit. Looking around at the control panel he chuckled and said, "Well, good days are back Lang."

He leaned back on the chair and said, "Neural Link, activate."

The system voice sounded, "Neural Link initiated, performing a surface panel check, weapons system online, fuel chamber is secure. Supreme General Shi Lang, welcome back."

Shi Lang chuckled, and controlled the mech to advance.

…

There were a few monks gathered in the void with frowns stretched on their faces. One of them said, "Do you really think that guy is dead? It all seems a bit too easy to me."

The rest of the monks nodded in agreement, however, just when they were about to come up with ways to find out what was wrong in this whole scene, they sensed a big object coming towards them. The monks looked over to see what it was and they were greeted with a steel giant.

Shi Lang's voice sounded through the sound transmission array, "Thank you for waiting. Here is your gift."

He initiated the weapon system on the mech and then attacked the monks. The Dao Lord Monks could withstand the intensity of the attacks. It was a flood that assaulted them with only one intention and that was to drown them all.

Shi Lang fired with fire and lightning spells and spiritual ammunition like destructive beams and poison missiles. Just when they were busy defending themselves from the attack in front, Raksha appeared behind them with ten Dao Swords and reaped their lives.

Within five minutes, Shi Lang killed seven monks. He continued moving onwards, and all this time, he emitted his aura of a supreme try and wake up any monks that would still have some doubts about Zen Yuan, but it turned out none of them were bothered about it.

Shi Lang reciprocated the courtesy; he unloaded everything and every move he had in his arsenal. His speed, and his moves were focused on nothing but killing the monks who attacked him.

His mech held a sword and under Shi Lang's control it was a terror.

…

Shi Tao was sitting inside the control room of the Asura Hall when she heard someone, "Damn, Hall Master is using the mech like this?"

She opened her eyes and looking at the operator she said, "Han, bring it up on the big screen."

Han nodded and quickly projected the scene on the big screen. This was being telecasted because of the mini satellite that detected Shi Lang locked in combat. Shi Tao smiled as she watched the battle unfold, and mumbled, "I wonder if Senior Hou will be watching this or not?"

Hou Bing appeared beside her, and said, "I knew it. I knew that he would create chaos. See, he is doing just that."

Shi Tao smiled and replied, "He is only doing what is demanded in the situation."

Hou Bing scoffed and said, "Tao, you look at the mess, it's bloodshed wherever he goes."

Shi Tao smiled and said, "Senior Hou, I would have deployed the entire Asura Hall armed to their teeth and then it would have been something much crazier than just bloodshed. The Buddhist followers would have vanished from the continent had it not been for Baba using his supreme aura to wake them up."

Hou Bing looked at the little girl with eyes wide open. She was surprised and then she sighed and replied, "What can I say, Zen Yuan had caused a big mess."

…

Shi Lang proceeded to the sixth line, and the counter from the monks damaged his Mech. Although he managed to clear the lines, but the mech had to be discarded. The Terran approached the seventh line, and found the monks on his tail.

He sighed and took out a few pills to consume quickly and toss out the Formation plates in his possession. These things were meant to cover his retreat, but now they were being used to hold back the enemy while he charged ahead.

In the seventh line of defense, Shi Lang found five Dao Emperors standing in the void. They all had a special character carved on their foreheads. The young man sighed and said, "So, he refined your bodies and souls into his puppets. Cruel enough, Zen Yuan."

The five monks all surrounded him and they spoke in unison, "Five elemental lock."

This was a combined domain skill that was meant to stop Shi Lang. However, the young man directly invoked the power of lightning and said, "Shura Domain."

The lightning domain was the perfect counter for the five-elemental domain. Shi Lang moved around and so did the monks. They all attacked Shi Lang with their Buddhist techniques, and arts. The Terran was a little pressed but that was because he was comprehending something and after ten rounds, he said, "Let me counter."
