Chapter 380 - 380 Kill or be killed
Shun Long however simply sighed in response when he saw that the peak rank 1 Nascent Soul stage expert had managed to defend against his 'Thunderbolt finger' without suffering any injuries, before he mumbled to himself
''Nascent Soul stage cultivators are indeed in a league of their own!''
After all, this wasn't the same 'Thunderbolt finger' that Shun Long had used 2 years ago.
Not only was his cultivation at the peak of rank 9 in the Spirit realm now, but his 'Thunderbolt finger' was no longer in its infancy stages either!
Shun Long had already reached the third rank of this Mystic high-grade martial skill, bringing it to its peak state!
The middle rank 2 Nascent Soul stage expert turned his eyes and glanced at Shun Long for a single moment, before he continued to fight against the early rank 9 Spirit realm cultivator in front of him.
''Thankfully my own opponents weren't monsters like that guy!
Just like that voice said earlier, luck really is part of your own skills as well, so choosing easier opponents is important too! Of course, there is no way that a peak rank 9 Spirit realm cultivator would be able to pose any danger to me. At most, I would take a longer amount of time to kill him, so this can be considered that guy's good luck as well!''
Without paying any more attention to Shun Long's and the peak rank 1 Nascent Soul man's fight, the middle rank 2 Nascent Soul stage expert continued to fight against the opponent in front of him.
A few moments ago, it had only taken him 2 strikes to kill the previous early rank 9 Spirit realm cultivator, and the second target in front of him would be no different.
However, after seeing Shun Long's power, although he wasn't afraid of a peak rank 9 Spirit realm cultivator, the middle rank 2 Nascent Soul stage expert started to act more cautious as well against his opponents!
At the same time, the black-haired young woman stared at the handsome young man who had fired off the thunderbolt from his finger with a hungry look in her eyes, and after licking her lips once, she turned her attention towards the rest of the late-stage Spirit realm cultivators around her.
She only needed to kill one more person to be pass through the first stage of the test, so she wasn't willing to waste too much time in this place either.
''Although that guy is somewhat interesting... in the end, he is only a Spirit realm cultivator!''
As this thought flashed through her mind, she narrowed her eyes before she turned her attention towards a middle rank 9 Spirit realm cultivator who was fighting against an early rank 9 Spirit realm young woman.
At the same time, although he had felt shock in his heart, the peak rank 1 Nascent Soul stage expert in front of Shun Long finally felt a sense of danger after receiving the 'Thunderbolt finger' head-on, while a serious look flashed through his eyes as he stared at Shun Long.
Although he had been too anxious earlier, he finally realized that he wouldn't be able to kill the blue-robed young man in front of him that easily.
Of course, he couldn't change targets either, even if he wanted to.
''Since only 3 people can pass through the first test, I will either have to kill this guy, that crazy monster at the early rank 3 of the Nascent Soul stage, or that guy who has already reached the middle of rank 2.
No matter what, fighting against a peak rank 9 Spirit realm cultivator is countless times better than having to fight against a Nascent Soul stage cultivator at the middle of rank 2! As for that monster, Tan Wei, I'd rather fight everyone else in this place together than fight against her!''
Of course, how could Shun Long not sense the killing intent that was coming from this young man's body?
This time, he didn't wait for the man to attack him first, and instead, he took the initiative to rush forward.
For a moment, it seemed as if Shun Long had turned one with the wind, as his body seemed to have suddenly disappeared.
This was the 5th stage of the Gale steps!
Of course, as a Nascent Soul stage cultivator, the young man in front of Shun Long had plenty of experience, and only needed a second to determine Shun Long's general location.
Even though Shun Long seemed to have turned invisible in the eyes of the late-stage Spirit realm cultivators around him, Nascent Soul stage experts were still able to pinpoint his location without any trouble.
This was the qualitative difference between Spirit realm cultivators and Nascent Soul experts after all.
Once a cultivator had condensed their Nascent Soul, their own existence was elevated to another level.
What others were unable to see with their own eyes, Nascent Soul stage cultivators could easily 'see' with their soul sense.
Of course, Shun Long was already aware that the concealing ability of the Gale steps, was practically useless against a Nascent Soul stage cultivator, which was why he hadn't even trained in this martial skill in the past 2 years.
Appearing by the peak rank 1 Nascent Soul expert's side, Shun Long grabbed the 'Purple Blossom staff' with both hands, before he swung it sideways.
The young man was surprised when he felt a sense of danger coming from the wooden staff which was nothing more than a peak rank 1 gold grade weapon, but he had already been prepared for Shun Long's attack, and raising his wooden club in front of him, he infused his qi inside it as he easily parried the 'Purple Blossom staff' with a mocking look in his eyes.
Of course, the power behind Shun Long's attack wasn't as simple as it looked, forcing the young man to take 5 steps backward until he stabilized himself!
Finally, the confident look in his eyes changed into one of horror, as he looked at the blue-robed young man in front of him and asked in a voice filled with disbelief
''You! You are also a body refiner?''
Although people who dual cultivated in both qi and body refinement weren't common, they weren't abnormally rare either!
It was possible to find one out of 100 cultivators in the Western region who trained in both qi and body refinement cultivation techniques!
The reason why this young man was so shocked, was because of Shun Long's power.
''Just a single martial skill of his was infused with an extremely pure qi, making me have a hard time to defend against it! But now, even the power of his body is this crazy? Where did this monster come from?''
Shun Long nodded his head without explaining anything, as he moved forward and swung the 'Purple Blossom staff' diagonally
This was the second move of the Staff of Obliteration!
The third move followed right after without any delay, then the fourth and finally the fifth!
However, although Shun Long's chain attacks had put him in a tough position, the peak rank 1 Nascent Soul expert knew that he had to hang on and find a chance to counterattack and kill Shun Long!
Otherwise, his hopes of entering the Holy sect would be gone!
Shun Long however couldn't give up either.
This was the test of the Holy sect, and there was only one rule
'Kill or be killed!'
If one didn't have a resolute heart and couldn't kill the enemies who threatened their lives, they could no longer be called cultivators and the Holy sect certainly wouldn't accept them in their midst.
As he stared at the man in front of him and was about to follow up with the 6th move of the Staff of Obliteration, Shun Long's golden eyes suddenly lit up, and without any hesitation, he instantly jumped to the side.
At the same time, the man in the beast hide in front of him had opened his mouth, and spat out a gigantic red fireball towards Shun Long, in an attempt to kill him before he could use the sixth move of the Staff of Obliteration.
At that moment however, Shun Long abandoned the 'Purple Blossom staff' and allowed it to fall on the ground, before he mumbled to himself
'Blink'
Before the fireball could even approach close to him, Shun Long instantly disappeared on the spot, before he suddenly appeared behind the peak rank 1 Nascent Soul stage young man.
Without any emotion in his eyes, Shun Long slashed the illusionary, purple-colored blade in his right hand sideways, towards the peak rank 1 Nascent Soul man's head!
