Monarch Of Time

Chapter 422: Sandstorm

Seeing Shun Long leisurely staring at her with that same, light smile on his face, the young woman in black robes involuntarily took a few steps back in fear.

She couldn't understand how Shun Long had not only managed to avoid the old man's attack, but he had also counterattacked as well.

It was the same for the golden-robed young man, 'senior brother Qiong' who was staring at Shun Long with a shocked expression on his face.

He had already fought against the black-robed young woman who had joined hands with the old man in black robes, and he knew very clearly how terrifying the old man's assassination attacks really were.

If he hadn't been using his soul sense all this while to avoid the old man's attacks, he would have definitely died long ago and wouldn't have lasted for so long.

Of course, the 2 peak rank 3 Nascent Soul stage cultivators had no idea that Shun Long had never taken the old man's attacks to heart.

After all, how could Shun Long ever be assassinated when he was already expecting it? He had already foreseen this sneak attack thanks to his golden eyes and knew exactly when and where the old man would attack him from.

At the same time, after breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage, the effects of both of his 'Monarch's Domains' increased once again.

By activating both of the 'Monarch's Domains' at the same time, he had easily slowed down the old man's speed by 20 percent while augmenting his own speed at the same time.

Even with his cultivation at the early rank 1 of the Nascent Soul, it was extremely easy for Shun Long to compete with the old man if it was purely in terms of speed.

Unless it was a cultivator who had comprehended the 'Dao of Wind', the 'Dao of Lightning' or some other peculiar Dao that could help them increase their speed by many times, even average peak rank 3 Nascent Soul stage cultivators had no hope of competing with Shun Long when it came down to a match of speed.

Of course, if these cultivators had a Saint-grade movement technique then things would be completely different.

The unsuspected old man had never expected that not only had Shun Long already foreseen his attack, but he was also much faster than him as well.

Additionally, with his thoughts being slowed down due to Shun Long's 'Monarch's Domain', the black-robed old man wasn't fast enough to retreat when he realized the danger he was in, resulting in both his hands being cut off.

The mental impact that this scene created, caused the old man's thoughts to become muddled for a moment, unable to fully process the scene that had just happened.

Of course, Shun Long wouldn't miss this chance, especially when his enemy was in their most vulnerable state and didn't have a chance to retreat.

Using blink, he instantly appeared in front of the black-robed old man and swung the star-rank sword in his hand horizontally, beheading the peak rank 3 Nascent Soul stage cultivator with a single slash.

It was all of these factors together that had allowed Shun Long to instantly kill a peak rank 3 Nascent Soul stage cultivator with a single move, but the effect was simply astonishing.

Whether it was the black-robe young woman, the golden-robed young man, senior brother Qiong, or the 4 middle rank 3 Nascent Soul stage cultivators that were fighting with each other, all of them stared at Shun Long with eyes filled with shock and incredulity.

After all, the old man was a peak rank 3 Nascent Soul cultivator!

Even if his strength was more suited towards assassination and sneak attacks instead of head-on fights, he still wasn't someone that an early rank 1 Nascent Soul stage cultivator like Shun Long should be capable of fighting against.

Of course, Shun Long didn't pay too much attention to these shocked gazes and instead, he continued to stare at the black-robed young woman who had an ugly look on her face.

Without the old man to support her, it wasn't even certain if she would be able to fight against the golden-robed young man head-on by herself.

If one included Shun Long's sudden arrival in this place, her chances of survival were almost zero!

Without any hesitation, the black-robed young woman spread her hands in the air, as a massive sandstorm erupted around her, instantly covering everyone on the battlefield.

It didn't matter if it was Shun Long, 'senior brother Qiong' or the 4 middle rank 3 Nascent Soul stage cultivators, all of them were trapped inside the sandstorm in a single instant while their vision was completely blocked.

'Senior brother Qiong' snorted when he saw this scene, immediately understanding that the black-robed woman was trying to escape, before his body suddenly lit up with a bright red light.

This was his most powerful attack, a Saint low-grade martial skill that could burn everything around him to ashes.

Even peak rank 3 Nascent Soul stage experts would be badly hurt if they were inside the radius of this martial skill.

If it wasn't because he was wary of the old man sneak attacking him the moment that he finished this skill, 'senior brother Qiong' would have long since used this skill to take care of the black-robed woman and obtain the Holy sect's token from her body.

In the blinding sandstorm that covered the entire battlefield, his body suddenly lit up like the sun in the sky attracting everyone's attention.

The grains of sand around him were being burned quickly, slowly turning into ash and dust.

It was obvious that it was just a matter of a few seconds until the golden-robed young man completely extracted himself from this sandstorm.

At the same time however, Shun Long actually smiled despite being trapped inside the peak rank 3 Nascent Soul woman's sandstorm while his golden eyes lit up with a bright blue light that slowly expanded and covered his entire body.

With his gaze focused in the distance ahead of him, Shun Long then mumbled in a low but domineering voice as if he was the king inside this place

''Eternal Banishment!''

The single ball of qi inside the 'Monarch's Hourglass' started to churn, as the blue light around his body started to become even brighter than before.

At that moment, Shun Long's gaze was like the gaze of a monarch, ready to judge the life and death of all things around him.

It didn't matter where his gaze landed, the moment that his eyes looked at the sandstorm around him, the grains of sands didn't even touch him before they were being erased from existence.

It was almost as if they were being banished in a different realm, completely unable to resist the might of the blue light coming from Shun Long for even a second.

As the sandstorm in Shun Long's eyes thinned out, he saw the figure of a black-robed young woman flying away from the battlefield at full speed.

Clutching the black sword in his right hand, Shun Long raised his left hand in the air, and with a focused look in his eyes he slashed the air in front of him, opening a medium-sized space tear.

At that moment, the black-robed young woman seemed to have sensed something, as her body suddenly shivered while a sense of lethal danger overcame her!

Turning her head around, she saw a black space tear appear behind her seemingly out of nowhere, before a handsome young man in blue robes walked out from it.

The pupils in the black-robed woman's eyes widened when she saw Shun Long casually tear space open and appear behind her, as she immediately turned around and tried to escape even further.

She couldn't understand how Shun Long had managed to escape from her sandstorm so easily, but she knew that she couldn't fight him head-on just yet!

Her qi had been severely depleted after creating that huge sandstorm, causing a trace of fear to flash through her eyes.

Her only choice was to try and lure Shun Long to the place where the other peak rank 3 Nascent Soul stage cultivators were, before they all killed him together!

Knowing that she wasn't in a condition to fight him head-on, Shun Long wasn't going to give the black-robed woman any chances to escape.

Using blink for the second time, he instantly appeared behind her, and without giving her a second to flee, he slashed the black, star-rank sword towards her using both hands.

The moment that 'senior brother Qiong' managed to escape from the sandstorm, a scene that he was practically unable to believe appeared in his eyes.

As Shun Long slashed the black sword in his hands horizontally a rain of blood filled the air, before the black-robed woman's body was split in half in a single instant.
