Monarch Of Time

Chapter 539: Abandoned

Su Bao had originally thought that the arrows that the black-robed middle-aged man next to him had fired previously, were using at most around 20 percent of his strength. He had obviously never expected that the arrows that Shun Long had blocked were actually fired at almost full strength, and yet he was somehow still standing there unharmed.

After all, the cultivation of the middle-aged man with the black bow was already at the peak of rank 6 in the Nascent Soul! Even if he wasn't as strong as a normal peak rank 6 Nascent Soul disciple of the Holy sect, it shouldn't be possible for an early rank 3 Nascent Soul cultivator like Shun Long to take his attacks head-on, especially with his raw hands!

Although others may not know about it, Su Bao clearly knew, that the black bow that the middle-aged man next to him was holding was actually a peak rank 1 gold-grade weapon, while the metal arrows that he fired were all rank 2 silver-grade weapons.

Their lethality was able to harm even a body refinement cultivator who had reached the middle of the fifth stage in body refinement, let alone someone like Shun Long who was obviously still at the early fifth stage.

Even if Shun Long combined both his qi and the strength of his body refinement, he shouldn't be able to even block a single arrow at 40 percent strength, let alone 2 of them that were actually at 80 percent!

The shocks that he received one after the other made Su Bao stand rooted in place, as he turned his head to look at the middle-aged man next to him and asked coldly

''Su Dong, are you serious?''

Of course, the shock that Su Bao felt was only natural.

Even before they began their ambush, the 2 of them had already noticed that Shun Long was wearing the robes of an outer disciple of the Holy sect.

They hadn't expected that Ying Gui would actually ask for help from the Holy sect this time, nor that he would manage to find someone to help him in just the 3 days that he stayed in the Holy city.

Thankfully, after seeing that Shun Long was only an early rank 3 Nascent Soul stage cultivator who had only reached the early fifth stage in body refinement, Su Bai and the middle-aged man with the black bow, Su Dong, decided to continue with their ambush as planned.

Only if they had to fight against a disciple of the Holy sect who had reached the peak of rank 5 or the early rank 6 in the Nascent Soul, would they consider to back off from the fight and quickly return to the family and change their plans.

After all, it was common knowledge that the disciples of the Holy sect couldn't be compared with the normal cultivators who were living within the Holy sect's territory.

Even if Su Bao and Su Dong came from the Su family, they still wouldn't fight against an early rank 6 Nascent Soul disciple of the Holy sect unless they absolutely had to, since even with their combined strength they wouldn't be absolutely certain that they could come out on top.

As for Shun Long, although he wasn't even at the middle stages of the Nascent Soul, to be able to block Su Dong's arrows, his strength was definitely abnormal.

This made Su Bao uncertain of whether he should continue or not.

And yet, Su Dong didn't sit there and wait for him to react, as he started firing arrows from his quiver one by one, heading towards the guards who were either kneeling or they were still standing and staring at him.

''Ahhhhh!''

''Help!!!!''

The guards' cries instantly woke Su Bao from his stupor, as 2 heads suddenly exploded into a mist of blood almost at the same time.

Staring at the headless corpses, Zou Qiang no longer waited until his turn arrived, as he run at full strength towards back towards the entrance of the 'Flame Lion's' canyon.

It was too bad that he couldn't escape from Su Dong's eyes, as the black-robed middle-aged man instantly narrowed his eyes when he saw him trying to escape, and after killing 3 more guards with his arrows he actually chased after him.

Naturally, the remaining 8 guards didn't care that Zou Qiang was being chased by the peak rank 6 Nascent Soul middle-aged man, and instead they actually rejoiced, as they headed deeper inside the 'Flame Lion's' canyon without any delay.

They weren't dumb enough to return back to the canyon's entrance since both Zou Qiang and that terrifying man named Su Dong were there, so heading deeper inside the canyon was their only chance to escape, leaving behind only Shun Long, Ying Gui, as well as the middle-aged man with the red sword Su Bao.

As for hoping that either Shun Long or their captain could win against those enemies? They'd rather cross this terrifying canyon all alone than base their chances on something like that!

Ying Gui wanted to escape inside the canyon as well after seeing his guards all do so, but unlike his guards who were all at the Nascent Soul stage, he remembered that his cultivation was only at the rank 1 of the Spirit realm.

Forget about an early rank 5 magic beast, even if a single rank 4 magic beast appeared in his way during this time, he would definitely end inside that beast's stomach.? And unfortunately, Ying Gui clearly knew, that rank 4 magic beasts were more than common in the 'Flame Lion's' canyon.

Thus, the only thing he could do was slowly back away from the carriage, as he allowed Shun Long to fight with Su Bao!

His only hope now was that Shun Long could magically win this fight. Even if that seemed impossible, Ying Gui knew that there was nothing else that he could rely on.

His head of guards had already abandoned him and even his remaining 8 guards had done so as well. Right now even an average Spirit realm cultivator could probably take his life, let alone monsters from the Su family like Su Bao and Su Dong who clearly hated him for meddling in their business!

As for Su Bao, he didn't care about those small fries at all, as his eyes were only focused on Shun Long who was staring back at him, as well as the 4 carriages with the peak rank 5 magic beasts.
