Chapter 977 Shun Long vs Huang Yun
Chapter 977 Shun Long vs Huang Yun
For a moment, both Shun Long and Huang Yun stood still and observed their surroundings, neither of them seemingly in a hurry to make a move. However, no matter how they looked at it, the ancient arena appeared almost identical to the one from the first trial. The only difference was that there was no obsidian obelisk erected at its center.
Of course, this time there were no 'Ravenous Earth lizards' hiding in the ground, nor were there any 'Red Lightning sparrows' blotting out the skies and bombarding them with bolts of crimson lightning!
No, instead, there was an extremely handsome azure-robed young man and a long-haired youth in luxurious golden robes standing opposite each other, each of them staring down at their opponent.
Eventually, the golden-robed Huang Yun was the first one to break the silence, as he looked at Shun Long and said
''Since that old man placed you first in the 'Heavenly Rankings', there has to be more to you than just the cultivation of a peak rank 8 Dao King and a peak-sixth stage body refiner. However, no matter what that thing is, there is no way for you to win against me. It's my fate to ascend this 'Heavenly Tower'!''
As he finished speaking, Huang Yun's brown eyes that were staring straight at Shun Long suddenly shone with a pale purple light, before the entire coliseum began to twist and turn.
In the next moment, Shun Long saw Huang Yun's body turning faded and transparent, before hundreds of similar golden-robed figures emerged out of thin air, soon filling the entire arena.
In the blink of an eye, more than a hundred Huang Yuns were now staring at Shun Long, each of them emitting the aura of a peak rank 9 Dao King and a peak-sixth stage body refiner!
With that same look on their faces, the one hundred Huang Yuns looked at the azure-robed youth before they all roared in one voice that shook the ancient arena
''Die!''
The one hundred figures moved almost simultaneously, attacking Shun Long from all sides and pitting him at the center of their bombardment!
Fists, kicks, swords, spears, and sabers attacked him from every direction, trapping the azure-robed youth in their midst.
And yet, under Huang Yun's surprised gaze, Shun Long actually shook his head while staring straight at one of his 'clones', before he said in a calm voice
''The 'Dao of Illusions'? Not bad. You've already reached a stage where your illusions are practically corporeal, but unfortunately for you...''
Shun Long didn't finish his sentence as he disappeared from the spot he was standing on, and appeared right in front of one of the golden-robed figures. In the next moment, Huang Yun's eyes widened as he saw an unstoppable fist heading straight for his temple, moving at a speed that even he couldn't react to!
At this moment, Shun Long's speed had already exceeded what was possible in the Dao King realm and was already encroaching in the territory of an average early-stage Dao Emperor!
Almost instinctively, the golden-robed youth raised both of his arms and placed them by the side, trying to defend against the horrifying fist, but unfortunately, what followed was something that Huang Yun had never expected.
''Crack!''
''Crack!!''
The sound of bones breaking resounded throughout the ancient arena as Huang Yun's body flew back like a meteor, soaring for more than a hundred meters before crashing on the stone seats in the spectator stands!
Under the golden-robed youth's incredulous gaze, both of his arms had been broken by a single strike from Shun Long, and even his head was now bleeding profusely.
Standing up, Huang Yun ignored the pain coursing through his head and arms and looked at the distant Shun Long as he roared in disbelief
''How is this possible? How can you identify my real body through so many illusions? Even a Dao Emperor shouldn't be able to do this!''
Huang Yun couldn't believe his own eyes as he lowered his head and looked at his broken forearms where his bones were now protruding outward, painting a terrifying sight.
With just a thought, his mangled arms were instantly healed back to normal, but the young successor of the Huang family was still rooted on the spot staring at his opponent.
There were so many questions on his mind right now, but there were two of them that he couldn't understand no matter how hard he tried!
''How can this guy see through my illusions and identify my real body? According to father, nobody under the Sovereign realm can do this. Even Xuan Bo is not an exception so how can this bastard do it? No matter what, it's obvious that his attack wasn't a fluke, so how? Also... what kind of strike was that in the first place? I am a peak sixth-stage body refiner and I was also born with the 'Immortal Toad's unique physique' but I couldn't even defend against a single punch?''
Huang Yun wasn't someone who let his emotions get the better of him. In the blink of an eye, he quickly identified the problems he was facing against Shun Long and quickly came to a conclusion.
A moment later, he muttered in a low voice
''Fine! If I use this here, I won't be able to use it against Xuan Bo, but it doesn't matter! It's pointless if I lose in this match anyway!''
As he finished speaking, Huang Yun surprisingly closed his eyes and spread out his arms, as if he was trying to embrace the sky.
Then, a peculiar power emerged from the depths of his body, quickly enveloping the entire arena in the blink of an eye.
Opening his eyes, Huang Yun nodded his head and said calmly
''I don't know what kind of power you used just now, but I admit that I can't beat you with just my 'Dao of Illusions'. I was planning to save this until I fought Xuan Bo, but you are qualified to have a look at it as well. This... is my supreme Dao!''
