Monarch Of Time

687 Chapter 687 Shun Long vs Qiu Yun 4

The moment that his black sword met the white tigerʼs all-out attack, Shun Longʼs hand instantly started to bleed as the black sword was nearly sent flying away from his hand.

The force behind the tigerʼs attack was truly terrifying.

At the same time however, the tigerʼs large body was sent flying back uncontrollably barely a moment later.

The arena had fallen completely silent and even Qiu Yun who had barely managed to defend himself against Shun Longʼs ʼTime Siphonʼ, stared at the scene in front of him with eyes filled with shock and incredulity.

Shun Long had actually overpowered his ʼWinged white tigerʼ!

His tiger was a peak rank 5 magic beast, one that stood almost at the peak even among other peak rank 5 magic beasts as far as he was concerned.

Once it matured fully and reached the early rank 6, its potential was enough to compete even with some middle rank 6 magic beasts.

And yet, it had actually been overpowered by Shun Longʼs attack!

Although Qiu Yun didnʼt want to accept it, he knew that he couldnʼt space out, as he prepared himself to activate his ʼThousand Rocks Arrayʼ for the second time.

At that moment however, Qiu Yun saw Shun Longʼs body suddenly vanish, before a sense of danger came from his side a moment later, making all the hair on his body stand on edge.

Indeed, Shun Long wasnʼt planning to let Qiu Yun use his ʼThousand Rocks Arrayʼ for the second time.

Clenching the sword hilt with both hands, Shun Long then slashed his black sword sideways, sending a powerful sword slash towards Qiu Yunʼs waist.

Qiu Yun immediately gave up on using his ʼThousand Rocks Arrayʼ, as another layer of earth armor immediately covered his entire body, before he raised both of his arms to hurriedly defend.

Although Qiu Yun had only managed to get rid of the effects of Shun Longʼs ʼTime Siphonʼ thanks to his earth armor and his understanding of the Dao of Earth that was a level higher than Shun Longʼs Dao of Time, Qiu Yun already understood how terrifying Shun Longʼs attacks really were by now.

Even he wasnʼt confident in taking those sword attacks head-on.

However, he still knew that as long as he could delay for a while until his ʼWinged white tigerʼ came to help him, he wouldnʼt be in such a precarious position any longer.

Crack!

As soon as the black sword met with his earth armor, an expression of disbelief appeared on Qiu Yunʼs face before his earth armor actually started to crack.

A moment later, the terrifying force behind Shun Longʼs sword only had 30 percent of its original power left as it landed on Qiu Yunʼs body directly.

Shun Long then saw Qiu Yun stumbling back for more than a dozen steps before he regained his balance.

And yet, Shun Long wasnʼt too surprised by this.

He hadnʼt expected that Qiu Yun would be defeated with a single attack.

Although Qiu Yunʼs advantage lied in the physical defense of his ʼWinged white tigerʼ that vastly surpassed most other disciples at the peak of rank 9 in the Nascent Soul while he himself attacked from the distance with his ʼThousand Rocks Array, in the end, Qiu Yun himself was also a body refiner who had also reached the peak of the fifth stage.

The strength of his body wasnʼt inferior to any other peak rank 9 outer court disciple.

Thus, it was simply impossible for him to be so weak that he couldnʼt even take on a ʼcasualʼ sword blow like that.

However, Shun Longʼs sword attack was still enough to destroy his earth armor and even send him stumbling backwards.

From the fact that it had managed to break past Qiu Yunʼs earth armor alone, one could guess how much power that sword slash was carrying with it.

And yet, as he regained his balance, not only did Qiu Yun not seem panicked in the slightest, but he actually smirked coldly as he said

ʼʼI got you! Soul Sword!ʼʼ

At that moment, a dim purple light that was shaped like a sword suddenly emerged from Qiu Yunʼs eyes, as it shot towards Shun Longʼs head at a speed that was impossible to react.

The sword-shaped purple light appeared in front of Shun Long almost instantly, and looking as if it was completely unaffected by material defenses, it effortlessly pierced through the space between Shun Longʼs eyebrows as it entered his head.

Qiu Yun smiled even wider when he saw this scene.

This was the biggest trump card that he had, a Saint low-grade martial skill that targetted his opponentʼs soul, ʼSoul Swordʼ!

Qiu Yunʼs biggest strength didnʼt lie in his material defenses or his ranged attacks like the ʼThousand Rocks Arrayʼ.

It was actually his enormous spiritual strength that easily surpassed most other peak rank 9 Nascent Soul cultivators.

Qiu Yun could confidently claim that among those outer disciples who had yet to enter the Dao King realm, he definitely ranked in the top 3 in terms of the power of his soul!

After all, to become a powerful beast tamer and subdue magic beasts, a beast tamerʼs soul needed to be strong enough to overpower those beasts as well and force them to submission, or it would be impossible to create a master and servant bond.

Qiu Yun didnʼt think that he would have to use his strongest trump card against Shun Long but he didnʼt regret it.

Seeing that Shun Long had suddenly gone still once the purple-shaped sword entered his body made Qiu Yun relax slightly. He understood that Shun Long had been affected by his ʼSoul Swordʼ.

However, Qiu Yun wasnʼt willing to take any risks either. He wasnʼt going to underestimate Shun Long any longer, so the moment he saw the dazed look in his eyes, he suddenly shot forward at full speed as he sent a powerful punch towards Shun Longʼs head!

Qiu Yunʼs fist was covered with an even thicker layer of earth armor, as he crossed the distance between himself and Shun Long almost instantly.

And yet, right before his fist was about to collide with Shun Longʼs head, Qiu Yun noticed that Shun Longʼs eyes seemed to have regained their clarity, before 2 words entered Qiu Yunʼs ears in the next moment, causing his body to suddenly turn rigid

ʼʼTime Prison!ʼʼ

Shun Long could feel more than 40 percent of his qi being sapped from his qi balls in a single instant, as the flow of time around Qin Yun was forcibly halted.

Clenching his right fist tightly, Shun Long let go of his black sword as he gathered the full strength of his ʼMonarchʼs Eternal bodyʼ, before he sent a powerful punch towards Qiu Yunʼs ribs without holding back.

Crack!

The sound of bones cracking resounded throughout the arena along with the sound of Qiu Yunʼs earth armor crumbling, as everyone saw Qiu Yun who was sent flying, before his body collapsed at the edge of the platform barely a moment later.
