Monarch Of Time

Chapter 382 - 382 Each with their own plans

A few seconds later, Shun Long's blurry vision slowly turned clear, as he found himself inside a dark, closed space that resembled a cave.

His surroundings however were completely dark, with only a faint trace of light coming from the distance up ahead.

''Since that Dao Emperor had said that this was only the first test, there must be at least another one that will follow up.

Well... it makes sense as well. Otherwise, wouldn't everyone who managed to kill 3 people be eligible to join the Holy sect? In that case, forget about the Nascent Soul stage cultivators, even rank 9 Spirit realm experts would be able to easily join after passing the first test successfully.

Additionally, based on what Zhao Lan had said 2 years ago, the test of the Holy sect is going to be more than just 'hard'. After all, that old man had been certain, that only the top geniuses of the 'Night star continent' would have a chance to pass.

In that case, let's see what this second test really entails.''

As he sorted out his thoughts, Shun Long spread his spirit sense around his body, before he walked towards the source of light in the distance.

At the same time, in a jade white arena similar to the one that Shun Long was standing during the first test, Liu Mei was holding the 'Four seasons azure sword' in her hand, as she faced a young man who seemed to be in his early 20s.

The young man in front of Liu Mei was at the peak of rank 9 in the Spirit realm, and was holding a pair of daggers in his hands as he attacked Liu Mei without stop.

It was obvious that these 2 daggers were rank 2 gold grade weapons, and perhaps even peak rank 2 gold grade ones.

Liu Mei was having a hard time defending herself against the young man's relentless attacks, but she still gritted her teeth as she continued to fight against him.

Aside from Liu Mei and this young man, there were 4 other people who were fighting against each other.

It was a peak rank 2 Nascent Soul stage expert who was holding a hammer with both of his hands and was attacking a peak rank 9 Spirit realm young woman relentlessly, as well as an early rank 1 Nascent Soul stage cultivator who was fighting a young man at the middle of rank 9 in the Spirit realm.

In a sense, Liu Mei's group could be considered even more dangerous than Shun Long's.

Although there were only 3 Nascent Soul stage experts just like in Shun Long's group, the strongest of them was at the middle of rank 3 in the Nascent Soul stage, and had killed 3 late-stage Spirit realm cultivators almost instantly, causing a white light to descend from the sky and cover his body before it teleported him away.

As for the second strongest person, who was the peak rank 2 Nascent Soul stage cultivator who was holding a hammer, he had already killed 2 late-stage Spirit realm cultivators as well, and only needed to take care of the young woman in front of him to successfully pass the first test.

As for the remaining early rank 1 Nascent Soul cultivator who was fighting with the young man at the middle of rank 9 in the Spirit realm, as well as Liu Mei and her own opponent... they could be considered the luckier ones since they hadn't been targeted by the 2 monsters and were left to fight opponents at the same level as them.

Of course, fighting an early rank 1 Nascent Soul stage cultivator as a peak rank 9 Spirit realm wasn't an easy feat.

Even 3 peak rank 9 Spirit realm cultivators wouldn't be able to stand against a rank 1 Nascent Soul stage expert.

Finally, just as Liu Mei felt that she was unable to hold on any longer, a blinding white light appeared from the sky and covered the peak rank 2 Nascent Soul expert's body like a cocoon, before the man slowly vanished from the jade white arena.

The 4 remaining people, including Liu Mei, all turned their heads to look at the disappearing peak rank 2 Nascent Soul stage expert, before different looks flashed through everyone's eyes.

A look of relief appeared in the early rank 1 Nascent Soul stage expert's eyes now that he was the strongest person left in this white platform, while the young man in front of him who was at the middle of rank 9 in the Spirit realm had a look of despair in his eyes.

He had been hoping that that peak rank 2 Nascent Soul stage expert would kill this person in front of him and would allow the rest of them to fight against each other for the final spot.

This way, he would have a better chance to pass through the Holy sect's test as well.

However, seeing that that person had disappeared, his own hopes to pass the test were also extinguished as well.

At the same time, Liu Mei noticed that the man in front of her had actually stopped attacking her all of a sudden. Instead, his lips had curved up into a smile, and without any hesitation, he abandoned his fight with Liu Mei as he rushed towards the remaining Nascent Soul expert.

Liu Mei instantly understood what that man was trying to do!

''He is trying to kill that Nascent Soul cultivator before that person can kill the middle rank 9 Spirit realm cultivator in front of him?''

Liu Mei didn't move, and instead, she simply watched the young man who was wielding the 2 daggers in his hands with a calm look behind her white veil.

Before that man could stab the rank 1 Nascent Soul expert in the back, Liu Mei watched as the Nascent Soul stage cultivator turned around with a mocking look in his eyes, and swung the saber in his hands towards the young man's waist.

Of course, how could the Nascent Soul stage cultivator not expect, that as soon as they were just the 4 of them left in the arena, Liu Mei and the young man who was fighting against her would try and team up with the middle rank 9 Spirit realm cultivator in front of him and would try to get rid of him first?

Then they would look to fight for the last place against each other!

He had already been on guard against a sneak attack from behind, certain that it was going to come sooner or later.

Seeing that his attack had failed, the young man with the 2 gold grade daggers in his hands hurriedly stepped back before the saber's attack could land on his waist, as he then turned his eyes towards Liu Mei.

Then, with an anxious look on his face, he shouted angrily

''Are you going to help us take care of this guy, or will you wait until it's your turn to die after he kills us one by one?''

Of course, although this young man knew that their chances to fight against a Nascent Soul stage expert weren't high, this was his best bet to pass the test.

He already knew that he was much stronger than Liu Mei, and probably he could even kill her if he had gone all out earlier, but he had simply been waiting for the 2 other Nascent Soul stage experts to disappear before he turned his attention towards the remaining one.

After he and Liu Mei, as well as the remaining young man at the middle of rank 9 in the Spirit realm managed to take care of him, then they could fight against each other.

With his strength as the highest among the 3 of them and once Liu Mei's and the middle rank 9 Spirit realm young man's strength were depleted, he would certainly emerge as the winner then!

However, the problem was that Liu Mei was simply spectating the fight instead of joining!

If it was just 2 against 1, then the young man with the 2 daggers had no confidence in killing an early rank 1 Nascent Soul stage cultivator!

''Hahahaha! You worthless worms! You think that you can kill me even if you all band together? Do you know why I haven't killed any of you just yet? It's because I was waiting for those 2 monsters to disappear first and make sure that they don't go crazy and fight against me. I allowed them to choose their targets, since none of you matter to me in the first place!''

Before the young man with the daggers had time to respond however, Liu Mei smiled coldly beneath her white veil, before a pitch-black ball of qi appeared between her hands.

Although the young man with the daggers had his own scheme, while the early rank 1 Nascent Soul stage cultivator had his own plans as well... how could Liu Mei not have plans of her own?

The reason why Liu Mei was fighting with her own sword and wasn't showing her full strength as a necromancer, was because she didn't want to attract the attention of the 2 Nascent Soul stage experts from before.

Although she had a trump card that she could use and could most likely protect herself, unless absolutely necessary, she didn't want to use it!

The rank 1 Nascent Soul stage expert's eyes constricted when he saw the black ball in Liu Mei's hands, as a sense of lethal danger instantly appeared in his heart!

Without any hesitation, he immediately abandoned the middle rank 9 Spirit realm cultivator in front of him, as he turned around and rushed towards Liu Mei!

He could feel that nothing good was going to come from the black ball of qi in that woman's hands and he had to kill her right away.

However, before the early rank 1 Nascent Soul stage cultivator could even close half the distance between himself and Liu Mei, the black ball filled with death qi suddenly fell on the ground.

The terrifying aura of death filled the jade white platform of the Holy sect, as an army of white skeletons led by a dozen undead knights surrounded Liu Mei, like soldiers paying their respects to their general!
