Chapter 938 Enroute To Black Rock Mountains.
Shi Lang finished all the formalities and learned that when a hunter reaches golden level, they would be contacted by the hunter organization to handle emergency or urgent quests around their vicinity.
He thought it was very convenient as it will not make things difficult for him. Shi Lang came out of the city and took out his lev bike after some distance. Then he turned the throttle and zoomed into the distance. Shi Lang knew where the mountains were, but he was not in the hurry to reach there.
He was going to use this time to comprehend the laws of slaughter and lightning that he learned during his battle with the earth wolves. In the void, Lady Yao looked at him and his lev bike, she wondered how this artifact from the lower realms worked, but did not think it was worth asking Shi Lang about this.
The Terran was unaware of these thoughts in her mind and he continued on his journey, after a few minutes, almost after crossing seven hundred miles, he sighed and stopped. In his spirit sense, a figure had been following him very sneakily. Shi Lang frowned and said, "Hey, you have been following me for quite a while, can you show up?"

Lady Yao raised her brow, even she had not sensed anyone following them. How could Shi Lang know. The Terran scratched the back of his head and mumbled, "Well, she has yet to close in, I did not expect her to match my speed like this. It will take her a minute to cover fifty miles. Hmmm, good enough distance to ambush her."
Lady Yao was confused, the spiritual sense of a normal Dao General is ten miles, a Dao Lord can sense things up to fifty miles. So on, the multiple of two was the rule followed in terms of magnitude of the spirit sense.
Yao herself could sense a hundred miles as she was a Dao King. Shi Lang was using his ability and he could now map up to two hundred miles. This was why he was comparable to a Dao Sovereign in terms of detection ability.
The best part of this ability was that he did not give out any spiritual fluctuation that could help the enemy counter detect him.
Yao was confused, when she saw Shi Lang take out a white artifact. It was another unique thing that she had never seen. Then the Terran flew up in the sky, and Yao sensed a strong spiritual energy from his body to be entering the white artifact.
It was the Jade Sniper rifle that he made for Amelia. This was the best weapon to kill people or attack them from a big distance. Shi Lang guessed that the person on his back was a Dao King, and this he was going to make a hundred mile long shot.
The distance was large and he needed to infuse a bit more spiritual energy than usual. The gun began to glow subtly, and Shi Lang set it against his shoulder and took aim. The enemy was too far for the scope to detect. Hao Ren had to rely on his spirit sense and he also needed to check the trajectory of the attack.
He took a deep breath and after some thought he infused his spear intent inside the weapon. After a few moments of deliberation he squeezed the trigger. The spirit energy condensed with great destructive power of the lightning element shot through the void.
The bullet only flickered for a second and then a loud boom sounded. At the moment the bullet was fired, it had the speed of sound.
Lady Yao appeared before Shi Lang and asked in surprise, "What did you attack at?"
The Terran replied, "See through your spiritual sense."
...
A woman with a veil on her face was flying through the void. She mumbled, "This kid is supposed to be very vigilant, yet he is moving so slowly that I have to slow down to make sure he does not catch a scent. Tch, just a couple hundred miles more, and it will be easy to finish you off."
Suddenly, she stopped as a sense of danger crept up from the depth of her soul. She looked around and sighed mumbling, "I am probably thinking too much."
However, the next moment, a golden bullet tore through the void. The woman raised both her hands and cast a barrier to stop the bullet. However, the bullet was only slightly slowed. The woman yelled, "Yin Wall."
A steel wall-like construct appeared in the path of the bullet. The golden bullet collided with the wall and it created cracks on the surface. The lady was shocked to hear the crackling sounds, she could sense the wall breaking. She grit her teeth and infused more energy but this bullet was something really different, it seemed to be condensed with multiple Dao Laws.
The law of space was eating through the iron wall, and a few moments later, the wall broke and the woman was forced to take seven steps back, but just when she thought the danger had been resolved, a terrifying penetrative force shot through the void and before she could even react, it was through her body.
In the place of her heart, there was a hole. The woman did not have beautiful features, and her face was covered with scars. She quickly took out a healing medicine and was about to consume it when again her body froze.
The space around her body had been sealed, she could not even blink, let alone move. A calm voice echoed from before her, "Your method of concealment is not very good, you know."
The lady was surprised. Shi Lang appeared before her and said, "You must be thinking why would I attack you without knowing you, but my nose is very sensitive to the smell of blood, and you reek of it."
The lady shivered and asked, "What do you want?"
She was injured severely, and if she did not consume the healing pill she would die. Thanks to the fact that she was a cultivator, her vitality was strong and her body control was advanced.
Shi Lang heard her question and asked, "Who sent you to tail me? Do not lie, we are both smart enough to understand the few motives a Dao King would have for maintaining distance with me."
The lady's face was turning pale as the time passed and blood was flowing through her wound. She took a deep breath and said, "It was the Situ family head who gave me the job to take off your head."
Shi Lang nodded and said, "Well, thank you for your cooperation. While I can understand that you became an assassin because you faced the death and the gray of the society, but that is how life is in this world. Anyhow, it was nice talking to you, thank you for your help. I hope you find peace in the afterlife."
That said, he snapped his finger and the lady died from the spirit intent ravaging through all the organs. Lady Yao frowned and asked, "Are you going to call the Situ family to dual?"
Shi Lang shook his head and replied, "Not yet, I am not strong enough for them/"
After saying that, the two people turned around and carried on to black rock mountains. Lady Yao asked, "You said that you want to learn forging to improve your comprehension, is that all?"
Shi Lang nodded and replied, "That is all. I can refine artifacts, but nothing like the exquisite ones we use now, at least not until they are the top model ones."
With that they traveled through the void. In the frontier city, the news of Shi Lang slaying the assassin sent by the Situ family and it looked like he did with one blow. The Terran was simply too astounding. The entire city was talking about him and Tong Bai was sitting in a lounger and listening to the news before she said, "Looks like I got to work faster, this guy already is killing kings.
It won't be late before he sets back to avenge his wife. I wonder what sort of shock will he deliver to the world and what sort of pain to the Juan Family."
Ye Lia sat beside her and asked, "Ma, what do you think? Will he really be able to completed his promise to his wife? I mean, the Verdant Holy Garden does not look like much in comparison of the forces here, but they might still have a strong capital right?"
Tong Bai sighed, "Don't worry, leave it all to him and just keep faith in him. You little girl, don't worry about it at all. Focus on your cultivation. Heavenly Maiden sect is about to begin the selection for the saint disciples. I don't wish to see you suffer, but do your best."
Ye Lia nodded and then went to cultivate. Only Tong Bai could guess what the future held in store for them.
