Shi Lang had caught the Deputy General in a bind that no one could have imagined, however, the deputy general was not a man to get caught so easily, after all, we all are aware of the weaknesses we have. The chinks in the armor, and someone who had been serving in the first fleet, being second to the Hero of The Federation, he had learned how to cover up his ws.
The Deputy General fell down on the ground because of the stun effect on his legs and vanished from the spot. As soon as that happened, the phasor beams all hit the target at the original speed. Shi Lang ducked and swung his leg on the ground to attack the Deputy General behind him.
The kick did notnd, the Deputy General moved back, and Shi Lang said, “I see, so you can not only slow down the time but also speed it up.”
The Deputy General snorted and said, “I also have to admit that you do have some skills, you can force me to use my ability to this level at the beginning of the fight. You are not an easy enemy.”
Shi Lang shrugged and said, “I am not an enemy, Deputy General. Or are you trying to rebel? I am just an opponent. Do you really think that if I had gone all out, you could have stood in front of me with the dignity you have? I just did not want to humiliate you, after all, we are all rted by the same color of the uniform.”
His tone was angry because he was holding a grudge against the Deputy General. The thing with those in the second ce was, that they would always think that if there was not the first ranked person, then it would have been them basking in the glory.
They make do with what they have after they lose, and wait for their ascension, however, when someone like Shi Lang, jumps the queue and ims the throne, they rebel without a second thought in their minds.
Shi Lang was pissed because he was asked to fight for a whole day, all because of the petty mindset of the Deputy General. So, he was going to give him a piece of his mind and leave this tform with a statement.
The deputy general still did not take it seriously and said, “Do you think you can just talk big and win the battle,e fight with me.”
Shi Lang put back his handgun in the holster and said, “I will now give you all a little something to remember.”
He spread his feet and lowered his center of gravity, then he made ws from his hands and said, “Lightning, Come.”
All of a sudden, out of nowhere, the sky was filled with clouds. Below the stage, the people had no idea what was going on. Hayley and Jenkins exchanged a gaze and thetter said, “Is he serious?”
Hayley nodded and said, “God bless the Deputy General.”
Jenkins even made the cross gesture and said, “Amen.”
…
The Deputy General was surprised by the sudden change in weather. He asked, “What is happening?”
The sky was filled with lightning snakes, and the loud sounds of thunder were really intimidating as well. Shi Lang was not a fool, this was all his n, he was not so strong yet to call rains and storms at the turn of his hand, but he was good with manipting the spiritual energy.
The young man had been fighting with the people and at the same time, he was using the spiritual energy inside of him to interact with the energy outside. It was like a maic push and pull. He was using the thread of spiritual energy to manipte the weather subtly.
The Deputy General did not think much about the change and he moved forward at a high speed to attack Shi Lang, however, the young man was ready for it. He smirked and attacked with his ws in a downward sh. The lightning in the clouds, reacted as if following his actions and it fell from the sky to attack the Deputy General.
The speed of the attack was so quick that the Deputy General did not have the gall to keep on charging ahead, the attack was going to fall in front of Shi Lang, exactly at the spot where the old man would have to be present to attack him.
The Deputy General retreated, but Shi Lang did not n to let him leave so easily. He used his left hand to thrust it forward. The lightning suddenly changed the trajectory again and shot forward like an arrow from the bow. The people watched the scene in awe, even Jenkins and Hayley were mesmerized by this.
They have seen Shi Lang do this trick once in front of them back at Arcadia, however, the degree of control he disyed at that time was not so good.
Back on the tform, the Deputy General was moving around to get away from the lightning and Shi Lang was using his hands to direct the attack. The Deputy General said, “You will never be able to catch me like this.”
Shi Lang said, “You are correct, then let us have some more fun.”
He raised his leg high and stomped it on the floor, following this, another snake of lightning fell out from the skies. The soldiers below were whispering to each other and they had no idea that the new general was so strong. Lightning was an element of nature that was highly destructive and after all the advancements in technology, the Terran civilization may have found ways to harvest the power hidden in lightning, but they still had the fear of the damage it could do.
The ability of General Edwards was also element control, but the person would feel weak after using the ability. However, Shi Lang showed no such signs, and now, he had even begun to use his legs to manipte the second streak of lightning. He did not leave the Deputy General with any options. The young man had begun to calcte the path trajectory of the old man.
As the attacks were getting closer to the old man, thetter was getting more desperate to get free from the binds. This desperation to break free from the onught made the old man make a mistake, he tried to slow down the time when the lightning streak got closer to him, however, Shi Lang was waiting for this.
Since he could control the direction of the streak, he could also control the other aspects. Suddenly, Shi Lang clenched his fists and the lightning streak exploded. The explosion was so loud and strong that it threw the Deputy General flying away.
However, as a person with some exposure to spiritual cultivation and at the peak of the Terran cultivation system, the Deputy General was not easy to deal with. Shi Lang jumped in the air and the streak of lightning rushed at the enemy. The next moment a wail rang out, and the lightning streak ran across the body of the Deputy General.
The soldiers shivered at the scene, they found that not only was their General a strong man but also cruel. He would run things with an iron fist and he will crush all the ideas of revolution breeding inside the mind of those who fall under hismand.
The deputy General has fainted on the tform, Shi Lang was standing tall with his tie fluttering in the wind. He said after infusing spiritual energy in his throat, “If anyone else wants toe up and fight, you are wee, if, after fifteen minutes, none of youes up. I will step down the tform and if then I found the slightest idea of challenging my authority, I will raze you down the ground and throw you back at home. Is that clear?”
The soldiers were all intimidating and they all said, “Sir, yes, sir.”
The impact of thousands of people yelling out at the same time shook the wind. The entire fleet was subdued by Shi Lang. He turned his gaze at the adjutant of the Deputy General and said, “Take him to the infirmary.”
Then he walked on the tform for fifteen minutes, after no one came up, he said, “Very well, dismissed.”
The soldiers all saluted him, and Shi Lang returned the salute. Then he walked down the tform and put on his coat. Hayley asked him in a low voice, “Are you okay?”
Shi Lang winked at her, telling her to rest assured. They made their way to themand center of the frontier, and the young man was just about to sit down on the head chair, when a soldier responsible for themunications said, “Sir, a ship from the Gctic Council is entering the atmosphere.”
Shi Lang raised his eyebrow and said, “Does the Gctic Council think they can waltz in anywhere? I want their ship locked on with every defense system that possibly can.”
Hismand shocked everyone in themand center.
