    Shi Lang left the city riding on the back of his steed and found a few rich people riding ahead of them. He knew the situation would be troublesome, so he covered his face and slowly turned his horse in another direction. He acted very low-key the whole time and did not wish to draw attention to himself.


    However, Lightning Mane Spirit Horse was stronger than all the horses running ahead. Spirit beasts also had a pedigree and had some arrogance etched in their bones. As Shi Lang moved closer to the pack ahead, he had a bad feeling germinate in his heart.


    The horse moved closer to the pack, and suddenly, Shi Lang decided on something. He would rush past these people and then move ahead on his way. He pressed his legs against the belly of the horse. The spirit horse finally sensed its master giving it free rein. The ck horse had been watching the puny beasts trotting ahead with arrogantly raised heads.


    The Lightning Mane was a wild-spirited beast, disdaining such a phony show-off as Shi Lang had given him the signal. The lightning mane picked up speed, and lightning sparks surrounded its body. The beast pounded on the ground and rushed forward at a high speed. The sound of the hooves attracted the people''s attention, and almost all turned around to look at them.


    Shi Lang covered his face with lightning sparks and tightly held on to the rein. Shi Lang let out a light shout, "Hiyah!"


    The horse rushed ahead at a wind-tearing speed. The terran controlled spirit energy and cast a shield before him, and the wind resistance decreased. The horse was rushing forward at a suffocating pace. In just a blink, they passed the group of rich ass kids, and the ck horse even taunted the other spirit horses for acting like a showpiece.


    The rich kids subconsciously turned around and spotted a ck shadow running towards them at speeds they had never reached on a steed. These guys would juste out to socialize and go for merry runs on the horseback. However, neither Shi Lang nor his horse were here for that. The two were mean and rushed at the pack of rich kids.


    Shi Lang suddenly leaned his body closer to the mane of the spirit beast and said, "Go, do not hold back. Jump over them."


    His voice was only heard by the beast under him, but that was all that mattered. The horse let out a neighing sound, and then, as soon as he reached close to the rich kid pack, he jumped using the tremendous force of his hind legs. The rich kids were scared pale from the anticipation of the iing collision, but they were astounded when gazes followed the shadow leaping over their heads.


    The ck horsended on the ground and, without any dy, continued rushing ahead. Shi Lang bent his neck and looked under his arm. He found that the people were still shocked. He chuckled and sat up straight. Then he whipped the reins, and the horse increased his space.


    Shi Lang vanished on the horizon, avoiding his ears being flooded with curses and insults. The rich kids thought that this guy was looking for trouble on purpose. The terran rushed into the wild and found a muddy path toward his destination. He was heading to the Tiexian City to test as a head hunter.


    The city was quite far, and Shi Lang rushed across many ces. He fought many spirit beasts. Teixian City was still a week away when Shi Lang had spent ten days on the way. His spirit horse was the biggest reason he was able to make it so far so quickly.


    Lightning Mane spirit beast was known for its speed and the distance it could cover. Shi Lang would travel almost two thousand kilometers in twenty-four hours. He was not a fool who treated his spirit beast like a tool or ve. He looked after the beast properly. He named the beast Hei Lei. The beast liked the name, and Shi Lang often called it Xiao Lei.


    Xiao Lei was fed on spirit beast meat and spirit pills. The beast was an omnivorous creature, and Shi Lang also used spirit-replenishing pills to aid the beast in better recovery. The two of them formed a formidable team. Shi Lang would hunt beasts and fight enemies from behind, holding a dashing spear.


    Shi Lang was quickly improving his skills and strength. There would be days when the young man would cultivate while riding the back of the spirit beast. He encountered many travelers but did not mingle much to avoid trouble. However, the young man wished to have more spies ced in the ces so he would ce a weak clone to track the suspicious people he had met on the way.


    One day, while traveling, he heard the sounds of a battle. He was surprised because, this entire ten-day period, he had note across something like this. Out of curiosity, he decided to inspect what was going on. He patted Xiao Lei and said, "I will be back soon."


    The horse nodded humanely and returned to eating the spirit beast''s meat in peace. The terran rushed through the woods and soon came to a clearing. He found two people fighting each other. One was a middle-aged woman, and the other was an old man with a cruel expression.


    Shi Lang found that many people were sprawled on the ground around the pair. The terran could sense that they were all alive. However, thedy was not in good condition. There was a huge gash on her right arm. She was holding a short sword across her chest in a defensive stance.


    She was in a bad condition, and it was unsure how long she could hold on for. Thedy panted and yelled, "Old Xu, my family treated you like one of our own, and this is how you repay us? If not for us, you would have died on the front. My husband sacrificed his life to save you. You bastard, why are you doing this to us."


    The old man chuckled maniacally. He replied in a hoarse voice, "Have you not figured out why am I doing this, Yan Mei?"


    Thedy opened her eyes wide and asked, "So, it is true? You betrayed your kin to seek power? You wretched bastard."


    The old man chuckled and said, "Indeed, I am a wretched bastard, but aren''t you a shoddy bitch? You fucked with that guy Ling Tang and then gave birth to a bastard. You did not marry that simpleton and only used him. Why are you standing on the moral high ground?"


    Thedy clenched her palm around the hilt tightly and said, "I married him under the eyes of heaven and earth, and I do not need you or any other cockless scum to judge me."


    The old man narrowed his eyes, and Yan Mei said, "Did you think no one would know that you are nothing but a castrated eunuch in the court of dark demons? I took pity on you for the sake of my husband''s effort to save you from death at the front, and as soon as you recovered, you showed your real face. Shame on me."


    Old Man Xu chuckled and said, "It is not my fault that your group of simpletons believed me so much that you followed me here in the woods. I only said we should all go on an outing, and you all agreed? Hahahahaha, you brainless insects. Are you all inbreds?"


    As he ,cursed, the man rushed at thedy and caught her off guard. Heughed and said, "You can have the bastard, but the seed growing in your womb will be mine to present to the darkness. Hahahaha!!"


    Shi Lang could not keep watching this ande held his spear above his shoulder. Then he channeled lightning energy into the weapon. Just as the old man was about to sh his sword at thedy, a streak of blue shed in the corner of his eyes. Then he turned around and found a streak of light going past him.


    Old man Xu turned around to look at what it was and found a spear trembling in the ground with lightning covering the weapon''s surface. The old man turned back in the direction where the attack came from and found Shi Lang standing behind him with a smile. He asked, "Who are you?"


    Shi Lang replied, "Your death. Bye bye."


    As he waved his hand at the old man, the person fell to the ground. Yan Mei was shocked during this entire situation and finally woke up. She was wary of Shi Lang and looked at the corpse of the old man. Her soul was shivering, because the old man who pushed her entire family into a corner was killed by this young man before they could even figure out what happened.


    Old Xu died from a hole in his forehead. The hole was as big as a fist, and it was caused by Shi Lang''s spear. The terran sighed and said, "Ma''am, you seem to be expecting a baby, why don''t you rest? Allow me to deal with things here."


    Yan Mei looked at the young man with a sunny smile and nodded in a daze.
