Monarch Of Time

Chapter 423 - 423 Donʼt throw away your life

ʼSenior brother Qiongʼ couldnʼt believe that 2 peak rank 3 Nascent Soul experts had died under the hands of an early rank 1 Nascent Soul stage rookie, let alone with both of them being completely incapable of even putting up a fight.

They didnʼt even have enough time to resist before they were both killed in an instant.

Even for a genius like ʼsenior brother Qiongʼ who was one of the 3 strongest people in this alliance of disciples that attacked this city, this was still a shocking scene that couldnʼt be explained.

Of course, although it was true that the black-robed old man had most likely underestimated Shun Long while the black-robed woman was actually fleeing, the result was that they both died in a head-on fight.

In the end, they werenʼt even able to struggle before they were killed.

This was especially so for the black-robed womanʼs death. Before ʼsenior brother Qiongʼ even had enough time to escape from her sandstorm, Shun Long had already taken her life.

For ʼsenior brother Qiongʼ who had already suffered under the 2 peak rank 3 Nascent Soul stage cultivators combined attacks earlier, seeing them getting both killed by an early rank 1 Nascent Soul stage cultivator one after the other made him shiver in his heart.

And yet, this wasnʼt something that he could accept so easily.

No matter what, he himself was a genius who would certainly pass the Holy sectʼs test! He was a peak rank 3 Nascent Soul stage cultivator! How could he allow anyone else to obtain the Holy sectʼs token in front of his eyes? Let alone an early rank 1 Nascent Soul stage cultivator, he would even fight with other peak rank 3 Nascent Soul stage geniuses if he had to.

Completely oblivious to the golden-robed young manʼs thoughts, Shun Long who was now standing in front of the black-robed old womanʼs body, waved his hand and removed her spatial ring.

However, after checking the ringʼs contents, he immediately turned his attention towards the black-robed womanʼs corpse in front of him that was split in 2 halves.

Aside from 10.000 middle-grade spirit stones and a few middle-grade rank 5 ʼQi replenishing pillsʼ as well as some healing and several ʼanti toxinʼ pills, the black-robed womanʼs spatial ring didnʼt have anything else.

That meant that the Holy sectʼs token was either on her body or it was hidden somewhere else.

At that moment, Shun Long closed his eyes before his soul sense erupted like a volcano as it completely covered the womanʼs body.

As he opened his eyes, Shun Long stared at the bottom half of the black-robed womanʼs body as he mumbled to himself

ʼʼThere is actually something hidden here!ʼʼ

Waving his right hand, Shun Long used the black, star-rank sword, to slice open a small hole near the black-robed womanʼs b.u.t.t as a palm-sized, golden-colored token with the character ʼHolyʼ slowly revealed itself in front of Shun Long.

The moment that Shun Long was about to touch the Holy sectʼs token however, he could feel an intense feeling of danger sprouting in his heart, while his golden eyes lit up with a bright azure light.

Another scene appeared in his eyes, causing Shun Long to give up on picking up the Holy sectʼs token before he immediately dodged to the side without any hesitation.

Almost at the same time that he dodged, a huge flame pillar struck the spot that he was standing on, immediately enveloping the black-robed womanʼs corpse as well as the Holy sectʼs token.

As the flame pillar slowly dissipated, Shun Long saw the golden-robed young man, ʼsenior brother Qiongʼ standing a few meters away from him, staring at the Holy sectʼs token on the ground with a look of fervor in his eyes, before he slowly turned his attention back to Shun Long.

There was a serious look in the peak rank 3 Nascent Soul stage expertʼs eyes as he stared at Shun Long, looking like he was staring at another powerful peak rank 3 Nascent Soul cultivator instead of an early rank 1 Nascent Soul rookie.

Shaking his head, ʼsenior brother Qiongʼ took a deep breath before he said with a serious look in his eyes

ʼʼDonʼt try and touch that token again or the next time it wonʼt just be a warning attack.ʼʼ

Hearing ʼsenior brother Qiongʼsʼ words, Shun Long stared at the peak rank 3 Nascent Soul expert in front of him without any change in his emotions.

He had already expected that there was no way for the ʼgolden-robed young manʼ to give up on the Holy sectʼs token so easily!

Indeed, ʼsenior brother Qiongʼ stared at Shun Long with the same solemn look before he continued

ʼʼI admit that you are strong... at least strong enough for me to take you seriously, but the only reason that you managed to kill those 2 was thanks to me keeping that woman busy, as well as the old man not taking you seriously to begin with. If it wasnʼt because he underestimated your speed since you are still at the early rank 1 of the Nascent Soul, there was no way that you would have even managed to harm him, let alone kill him. However, Iʼm not going to do the same mistake.

I am warning you because you are strong enough to do so, but donʼt think that you can fight against me head-on!

I am sure that you are aware that I am not like those 2 sc.u.m that you just killed.

I suggest that you donʼt throw your life away for a single Holy sectʼs token. If we really start fighting, I will not spare your life.ʼʼ

Shun Long slowly narrowed his eyes as he stared at the golden-robed man in front of him.

Although the manʼs words were laced with threats left and right, it was obvious that he didnʼt want to fight him head-on if he didnʼt have to.

However, it was also obvious that he wasnʼt going to give up the Holy sectʼs token either.

In ʼsenior brother Qiongʼsʼ eyes, Shun Long was a much easier target to deal with compared to the black-robed woman and the old man whom he was fighting against previously.

After all, no matter how strong Shun Long was, it was most likely only his speed that had reached the level of a peak rank 3 Nascent Soul stage cultivator!

Additionally, if it wasnʼt because the black-robed woman knew that she had no chance of fight against Shun Long and ʼsenior brother Qiongʼ at the same time, she wouldnʼt have resorted to fleeing in the first place.

Staring at the young man in front of him who was waiting for his answer, Shun Long ignored the 4 middle-rank 3 Nascent Soul stage cultivators who were previously fighting with each other and were now staring at the Holy sectʼs token on the ground like a pack of wolves ready to pounce at it, before he shook his head a moment later, and said in a firm tone

ʼʼYou are indeed stronger than the old man and that woman, but you are wrong about something. Even if the old man was on his guard against me, he would still have died all the same.

At the same time, I would rather not kill someone I have no enmity with.

If you leave, you can still find another city and have a chance of obtaining another token to pass the third test. However, if we start fighting, donʼt expect to leave alive.ʼʼ

Sigh

The moment that Shun Long finished his words, he saw the golden-robed manʼs expression slowly darken before he let out a sigh.

Then with a look of disappointment on his face, ʼsenior brother Qiongʼ stared at him before he said

ʼʼI donʼt have enough time to waste with you. Either turn around and leave... or DIE!ʼʼ

Boundless killing intent suddenly erupted from the golden-robed manʼs body when he uttered the last word, before an enormous flame pillar started to condense itself in the air around him.

At this point, arguing with each other was useless.

Holding the black, star-rank sword with both hands, he closed his eyes for a moment as he infused his qi inside it.

The strange and intertwining black runes and patterns on the swordʼs surface started to lit up, while sparks of lightning started to appear on the swordʼs surface at the same time.

With a serious look, Shun Long then stared at the enormous pillar of flames above ʼsenior brother Qiongʼsʼ head that seemed to have reached its peak, before he mumbled to himself

ʼʼHopefully you wonʼt die from this. Thundergodʼs slash!ʼʼ
