Monarch Of Time

Chapter 60 - 60 Snatching the profound earth fruit

Everyone, including Shun Long were startled that Guan Hong knew a martial skill.

There were plenty yellow grade cultivation techniques spread around in the ʼMortal worldʼ and the ʼcultivation worldʼ as well. However, yellow grade martial skills were much rarer than yellow grade cultivation techniques.

Martial skills were different from cultivation techniques to begin with. Although one needed a cultivation technique to train in and become stronger, martial skills were a cultivatorʼs hidden card as well.

Of course, cultivation techniques at the black grade and above werenʼt freely circulated in the world, but instead were all kept as a tight secret inside every sect. The value of these cultivation techniques was at least on par with black grade martial skills if not higher. After all, the grade of a cultivation technique would indicate how fast a disciple would progress while a martial skill was a way for the disciple to protect themself.

The 2 girls that had just arrived on the scene started discussing

ʼʼSenior sister look! That guy over there also knows a martial skill!ʼʼ The shorter one of the 2 girls who had her hair in two small buns said as she pointed towards Guan Hong.

The ʼsenior sisterʼ however, only glanced at Guan Hong once, before turning her sights on the ʼProfound earth fruitʼ as she said

ʼʼItʼs only an early yellow grade martial skill. He requires so much time to prepare for it that if he was fighting the ʼearth bearʼ one on one, he would already be dead by now.ʼʼ

The senior sister who was also dressed in blue robes had a beautiful face and short black hair as well as a slender body. Her b.o.o.b.s were average in size but her b.u.t.t was definitely a handful. If one compared her with Liu Mei who Shun Long had met in the ʼAlchemistʼs Guildʼ, her appearance may be slightly lacking, however, she was still a beauty that was on par with Lan Jinjing.

As Shun Long watched the two brothers, Shi Qiang and Shi Shan alternate between themselves trying to draw the ʼearth bearʼsʼ attention, Guan Hong had already finished charging up his martial skill.

As he had infused a lot of his qi inside his dagger he shouted

ʼʼFlying Slash!ʼʼ

As he slashed with his dagger in the air, the qi he had infused became a blade that flew towards the ʼearth bearʼ. The bear had already split its attention between fighting Shi Qiang and Shi Shan, as well as defending itself from the occasional attacks from the other 2 members of this 5 man group, while also paying attention to its ʼProfound earth fruitʼ at the same time.

As Guan Hongʼs attack approached it, it didnʼt have any time to dodge and tried to defend with its claws, but that was when the pair brothers showed their teamwork as they both attacked the bear toward its eyes and heart simultaneously.

The bear could only defend against the brothersʼ joint attack, as Guan Hongʼs slash hit it straight at its neck leaving behind a huge cut that had nearly reached the bearʼs bones. Blood was sent high up in the air as the bear roared in pain. However thanks to its thick hide, it had survived the hit although it was now heavily injured.

Just when everyone thought that their fight was almost done, a huge screech sounded in the air, as a 2 meter(6ft) eagle, with sharp, grey-colored feathers appeared from the sky as it directly chased the ʼearth bearʼ. The injured ʼearth bearʼ instantly turned to flee as it saw the eagle, completely disregarding everything else at this point.

The eagle chased the bear relentlessly around the forest.

As everyoneʼs attention turned to the ʼiron-winged eagleʼ who was chasing the ʼearth bearʼ, Shun Long who was waiting for this chance, instantly opened a space tear as he appeared next to the ʼProfound earth fruitʼ. It only took a moment for him to appear inside the cave, snatch the fruit and then open another spatial tear to leave the cave from the other side.

However, just as he was about to leave, the ʼsenior sisterʼ from the ʼRoaring wind pavilionʼ had then screamed

ʼʼThe ʼProfound earth fruitʼ!!ʼʼ

Everyoneʼs attention immediately turned to the cave, as they saw Shun Long who had his back turned on them, disappear inside the spatial tear.

Although they saw his yellow robes which betrayed that he was a disciple of the ʼfloating cloud sectʼ, they couldnʼt see anything else, as he had suddenly vanished into thin air.

ʼʼNOOOOOOOOO MY ʼPROFOUND EARTH FRUITʼ!ʼʼ Both the ʼsenior sisterʼ and Guan Hong shouted at the same time.

Guan Hongʼs group had suffered the biggest loss this time as they had been the ones who had first discovered the fruit and injured the ʼearth bearʼ as well, only for someone else to play the fisherman and steal their spoils from underneath their nose.

Guan Hongʼs eyes were spitting fire as he looked at the blue-robed ʼsenior sisterʼ who had just claimed that the ʼProfound earth fruitʼ belonged to her.

Since the person who stole it had disappeared into nothing, Guan Hongʼs group had nowhere to vent their anger to. Now, as if they had suddenly found an outlet for their pent up emotions, their group of 5 eyed the pair of female disciples from the ʼRaging wind pavilionʼ.

ʼʼWHO ARE YOU?ʼʼ Guan Hong and the Shi brothers asked threateningly as they surrounded the 2 girls.

The ʼsenior sisterʼ ignored them as she turned to leave however Guan Hong blocked her path as he said

ʼʼNo matter who you are, if you want to leave, you will also leave behind your survival points!ʼʼ

Anger clouded the ʼsenior sisterʼsʼ eyes as her peak rank 3 aura exploded as she attacked Guan Hong and a fierce battle of two versus five started.

Meanwhile, Shun Long who had just appeared 30 meters away from the other side of the cave could now hear the fight that had broken out.

Directly leaving the scene, Shun Long sent his spiritual strength inside the ʼStone of Timeʼ to inspect the ʼProfound earth fruitʼ before heading towards the deeper parts of the Demonic Mountain Region.
