Chapter 865 Shun Long’s death?
Mao Huang’s black sword was immediately surrounded by a burst of orange flames while the aura around his body seemed to have also turned much fiercer than before, as he slashed his sword directly towards Shun Long’s head.
”What? ‘Flame Emperor’s sword’? Mao Huang is really going to use a Saint high-grade martial skill here?”
”Is he crazy? Isn’t the ‘Flame Emperor’s sword’ the strongest martial skill from his ‘Flame Emperor Palace? He is really willing to reveal one of his trump cards just to kill a mere early-stage Dao King?”
”Fall back! Quickly fall back or you will get caught in their fight!”
The moment that they saw this scene, the surrounding Dao Kings who were watching Mao Huang’s fight with Shun Long were instantly stunned, before they hurried to open up the distance between themselves and Shun Long and Mao Huang, afraid that if they remained too close they would end up getting swept in their fight.
No matter what, a peak rank 9 Dao King using a Saint high-grade martial skill wasn’t something that any of these Dao Kings would dare to take lightly!
However, there were still a handful of individuals who didn’t seem to be scared of Mao Huang’s attack at all, as they continued to watch his fight with Shun Long with looks of interest on their faces.
”Heh, a mere early-stage Dao King you say? Are you fools blind? Haven’t you noticed that even after going all-out for a while now, Mao Huang was still unable to actually injure that brat? Even the poison in his black sword doesn’t seem to be working against him. Naturally, he doesn’t have any other option, other than to use his strongest martial skill to kill him. Otherwise, if he fails to do that and that brat ends up escaping somehow, Mao Huang knows that he is really going to suffer in the future. Hehehe!”
One of the surrounding Dao Kings who didn’t seem to be afraid of Mao Huang’s martial skill suddenly said with a mocking smile on his face, while his cold eyes were glued on Shun Long’s figure like a viper that was staring at its prey.
Indeed, just like this person had said, although Mao Huang’s attacks were enough to pressure Shun Long to the point where he didn’t even have enough time to use ‘Time Reversal’ and heal himself, it wasn’t enough to actually give him any serious injuries either.
After igniting his blood essence and activating the dragon’s bloodline inside his body, despite his cultivation base being only at the peak of rank 3 in the Dao King realm, Shun Long’s strength had grown to the point where his power was nearly comparable to that of a peak rank 9 Dao King!
And yet, even after igniting his blood essence to activate his dragon’s bloodline, Shun Long knew that his strength still wasn’t enough to actually allow him to overpower a peak rank 9 Dao King like Mao Huang, as he was gradually pushed back every time they clashed!
However, this was only natural as well. After all, the gap in strength between an early-stage Dao King and a peak-stage one like Mao Huang, an expert who was just a few steps away from breaking through to become a Dao Emperor realm expert wasn’t that easy to bridge, regardless of how talented someone was.
The fact that an early-stage Dao King could not only take on a few of Mao Huang’s attacks, but he could actually clash with him head-on and exchange more than a dozen blows with him directly had already stunned all the experts present here, including the black-robed young man who was ranked in the top 100 and no longer looked as indifferent as before.
..
At the same time, staring at the black sword that was descending towards him and was now just a few meters away from him, Shun Long who had stayed silent during his entire fight with Mao Huang finally nodded his head, before he said in a calm manner
”A Saint high-grade martial skill, huh? It won’t be enough to save you!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Shun Long tightly clenched his right fist, before he punched the air in front of him without holding back!
At that moment, the space around Shun Long’s hand started to ripple as a burst of terrifying pitch-black flames that looked like they could burn every single thing in existence suddenly covered Shun Long’s hand, before they started to churn and coalesce together, turning into a ball of flames that moved straight towards Mao Huang!
”DIE!” Mao Huang shouted loudly when he saw this scene, and instead of slowing down he actually increased his own speed even further, arriving right in front of the ball of black flames in the next moment.
Without any hesitation, Mao Huang then slashed his black sword horizontally, as he intended to cut through the black flames directly before he took Shun Long’s life!
And yet, the scene that followed was completely different from what Mao Huang or anyone else had actually expected!
The moment that Mao Huang’s sword came in contact with the black flames, the orange flames that had been created from the Saint high-grade martial skill, the ‘Flame Emperor’s sword’ were almost immediately devoured, while Shun Long’s black flames seemed to grow even more in size!
Before Mao Huang could even respond, the ball of black flames enveloped not just his black sword but also his entire body, burning through his own robes before they finally came in contact with his bare skin.
”AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!”
A miserable, blood-curdling scream that brought shivers to anyone who heard it left Mao Huang’s mouth the moment his body came in contact with the black flames, but surprisingly, this scream only lasted for a single second before it immediately died down.
..
The surrounding Dao Kings all stared at the scene in front of them with eyes filled with disbelief, before they slowly turned their incredulous gazes towards Shun Long who was still standing a few meters away from Mao Huang’s corpse and was practically unharmed.
No. In reality, Mao Huang didn’t even have a corpse anymore, as his entire body had instantly turned into ashes the moment he came in contact with the black flames!
Even a peak rank 9 Dao King like him, an expert who had used a Saint high-grade and was wielding a 1-star weapon had turned into nothing but ashes once he came in contact with the unique skill of a black dragon, the ‘Flames of Destruction’!
”This… this isn’t possible! Mao Huang died? A peak rank 9 Dao King has died in the hands of a mere peak rank 3 Dao King?”
”If news of this starts to spread, even the top powers of the central region won’t be able to sit still any longer!”
At this very moment however, at the same time that the surrounding Dao Kings burst into fervent discussions, the figure of a black-robed young man holding a dagger seemed to have appeared behind Shun Long without any prior warning, before the black-robed man thrust the dagger in his hands straight into Shun Long’s back!
Shun Long’s golden eyes widened when he sensed the danger coming from behind him, but even with his speed that was augmented thanks to the boost from the second ‘Monarch’s Domain’, Shun Long could still sense that he wasn’t fast to evade the black-robed young man’s sneak attack.
Knowing that he didn’t have enough qi remaining to use blink and try to avoid this either, Shun Long knew that there was no way for him to escape this situation!
”Pffftt!”
In the next moment, under the astounded eyes of the Dao Kings present, the black-robed young man’s dagger effortlessly pierced through Shun Long’s black scales before it was plunged directly into his back!
Shun Long could clearly feel a sharp sensation of pain coming from his back the moment the dagger entered his body, but despite the pain, he still gritted his teeth and turned around to look at the person who had attacked him just now, only to see the cold unfeeling eyes of an unfamiliar black-robed young man staring back at him.
Shaking his head, the black-robed young man stared at Shun Long silently for a few moments, before he said in a calm voice
”This is nothing personal. You are simply too dangerous to be left alive! If you can kill someone like Mao Huang now, I can’t guess what you will do once you can do once you become a peak Dao King. Although I don’t know why the ‘White tiger chamber of commerce’ didn’t have your information, it’s better for me to kill you before you get a chance to grow!”
