Chapter 186

Shi Lang did not know anything that was going on back at the command ship, his complete focus was dedicated to the fight in front of him. He was aware that his ability had a limit. After a certain point, his body movement will not be able to keep up with the senses.

So, for him the spirit energy was like a boon, it enhanced his physical body limits, and made him strong. He was dodging the phaser beams shot by the first prince at a very close range, it was as if he was a ghost. His speed had begun to leave quasi after images.

The first prince was getting enraged with every single second his attacks were useless. Shi Lang, on the other hand, was getting calmer with every single second. His aura was as if a sword of ice. Suddenly, the phaser gun glitched. Not everyone could detect a fractional difference in the firing time. This was because the core inside the gun has been over used and was exerting and it will take a longer time for the core to charge and attack.

The first prince roared and then he threw the gun away and made a gesture, ‘Come at me.’

However, his expectations were not met, Shi Lang took out the darts and suddenly, shot them at the first prince. The darts were all aimed at the vital spot. usually, it would have been a successful attack, but the opponent was not some rookie, the first prince used his hands to block the darts from hitting his vital spots.

At this moment, Shi Lang did not hesitate and charged ahead, it only took him a blink to narrow the distance and when the first prince was busy countering the eight darts. She Lang cashed in on the chance to hit the first prince with his fist. At attack landed on the spleen and the first prince keeled over, and his face met a hard knee.

Shi Lang did not wish to waste any more time on this thing and his punches became more dangerous and all of them aimed at the vitals of the prince. The barrage was so fast that it did not even allow the first prince to dodge. Fists were like bullets fired from a machine.

After a minute, Shi Lang stopped, the face of the first prince had already turned into a messy pile of meat, with brain matter leaking out of the wounds on the forehead. The people on the wall were shocked, this man actually killed the first prince in such a manner. This was shameful and enraging.

The emperor of the empire saw his sons die in such a manner, and he roared. He did not wait for anyone else and just jumped off the wall. Shi Lang raised his head and found the emperor attacking him with a fist. From the speed and the aura radiated by the emperor, he could tell that he was not weak.

Shi Lang jumped back to avoid the punch, and the attack hit the ground with a bang. Shi Lang was standing ten meters away, and he could feel burnt from the impact. Inside the mask, his face became solemn. The punch had left a small crater under the emperor.

The young Terran did not waver, he moved quickly and came closer to the Emperor. The latter was not slow to respond either. The two people punched and their fists collided. However, this time the one to be pushed back was Shi Lang.

The Terran realized that the enemy was equal to him, if he conserved his strength then the accumulated damage will affect him in the long run, and if he did not conserve his strength, then he will not be able to kill the rest of the people and evade this place. The emperor was running towards him with bloodshot eyes.

The punch was faster than the last two. Shi Lang raised his hand and patted the side of the fist while the free hand patted the elbow joint of the enemy in the opposite direction, making the arm bend and the punch miss, then he delivered a strong knee attack directly in the ribcage of the old emperor.

The emperor grunted and wanted to use his bizarre claws to grapple Shi Lang, however, the Terran was already out of his reach. Shi Lang had changed his strategy to face this old man. He used the method of soft and hard, while he would retreat after each attack. This way he will be able to conserve his energy and the enemy will exhaust himself.

The battle continued and Shi Lang followed his logic, he executed the best actions to evade the incoming attacks and use their power to hurt the emperor. Suddenly, he received a message on his communicator, “Captain, the task has been completed, waiting for rendezvous. Also, we do not have much time left, the Arcadian army is closing in on the ports, if we did not leave now, we will not be able to leave at all.”

Shi Lang dodged and attacked and asked, “How much time do we have?”

Amelia replied, “Five minutes, we are at the wall, Jenkins and Quinn have gone to take command of a space vehicle.”

Shi Lang nodded and after dodging another attack, his visor lined up with the wall, and he could scan where they were. He took a deep breath and turned to face the old beastman. He assumed the boxing stance but this time his feet were constantly bouncing off the ground in a rhythm.

The emperor rushed over, Shi Lang hopped a little, and the tough toes of his shoes were connected with the shin of the old emperor. The latter stagnated and Shi Lang jabbed him right on the nose. the power of the jab was not much, but Shi Lang used a compact punch and the attack was very useful.

The beastmen may not have cartilage that may fracture and render them useless for a few minutes, but the nose was a sensitive point in their bodies. Shi Lang did not stop, his jabs rained down on the nose, leaving the emperor disorientated.

The jabs became smaller and compact until the young Terran was close enough to unload a heavy punch to the guts of the enemy. Similar visceral anatomy of the beastmen was exploited at this point, the punch irritated the liver and the bile came rushing out of the emperor, who had no choice but to keel over and puke out whatever he hand inside.

Shi Lang was running short on time and a dart appeared in his hand, then the dart pierced the back of the neck of the emperor, which was the back point of the beastmen. The dart pierced through the flesh with a ‘Puchi’ sound and the emperor of Arcadia passed away.

Shi Lang bowed to the emperor, he may be the enemy but he was the strongest enemy Shi Lang had faced ever since he had started fighting. After paying his respects, Shi Lang made a run toward the wall of the palace.

The surroundings of the palace were kept barren for security purposes. After reaching the door, Shi Lang exerted strength on his legs and jumped over. He reached the top height of fifty meters from the ground.

The people were shocked, but they did not have time, they could see the spaceships entering the atmosphere of the planet. They all moved through the palace and came to the royal spaceport. Quinn had already told them which ship they will be taking and they all made a beeline to the vessel.

Shi Lang got inside the ship and he fell down on the floor as if he was dead. The people panicked, Amelia picked him up from the floor and got him inside a seat. Quinn asked, “What happened?”

The latter replied, “Exhaustion.”

People nodded and they took off.

…

Cara saw the pictures of the ship taking off and she did not seem to be excited, but the protruding veins on her forehead indicated that she was annoyed. However, suddenly, the expressions changed, the palace of Arcadia, the building that symbolized the tyranny of the Emperor and his paranoid family, exploded, the palace did not catch fire, but it was directly evaporated.

The little girl opened her mouth wide and rubbed her eyes to make sure that she was not hallucinating. Nexalia stood behind her and said, “Cara, prepare, you have to appear in front of the Galactic Council. They will testify to your identity and if you said that what happened today was a prearranged coup by you, then they will let us all go, however, if you said otherwise, the Terrans and the neomons will have to vanish and become the outcasts.”

Cara nodded and said, “Do not worry, I will not lie, you people have helped me enough, but I want to keep captain Ace by my side, he is very strong.”

Nexalia chuckled and said, “Let us talk after you are approved ok?”
