Chapter 102 Xiao Juyan's trump card

Monarch of Time

Everyone in the arena was staring in astonishment, as Shun Long's punch had broken through Xiao Juyan's armor.

''D-Did he just punch through senior brother Xiao's 'rock body'?''

''Impossible! Senior brother Xiao is unbeatable within the same level of cultivation!''

''Unbeatable? How do you explain this then? Shun Long's punch definitely broke through Xiao Juyan's 'rock armor'!''

It wasn't just the crowd that was shocked, even Ren Gui and Fu Peizhi who saw this were flabbergasted.

Xiao Juyan was someone who was famed for his defense and yet, just one punch from Shun Long had made him stumble and vomit blood.

Fu Peizhi turned his head to look at Ren Gui as he asked with a voice that didn't hide his shock at all

''Ren Gui, did you notice yet? This person is the same as senior brother Kang!''

Ren Gui however didn't even look at Fu Peizhi, as his eyes were staring at Shun Long at the center of the arena like a hungry beast looking at its prey.

Xiao Juyan wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth before he used his qi to recreate the rocks around his chest.

Soon, the crumbled rocks near his chest were quickly restored, as Xiao Juyan turned to look at Shun Long and said in a regretful tone

''I didn't expect you to cultivate both in qi and body refinement. Your punch really took me by surprise, but unfortunately for you, my 'rock armor' is the perfect counter against 'body refinement' cultivators.''

As these words left Xiao Juyan's mouth, the rocks covering his body changed their shape as they slowly turned into sharp spikes.

Xiao Shitou who saw this laughed, as if he had expected this move from the start, while Lin Wu seemed to have just heaved a sigh of relief as she said smilingly

''I knew that elder brother Juyan was still hiding his true strength. How could he ever lose to someone like Shun Long?''

''Hahaha, of course! If Shun Long wants to punch elder brother again, he will definitely destroy his own hands this time!'' Xiao Shitou also exclaimed in glee.

Shun Long hadn't expected that Xiao Juyan would decide to protect himself this way.

If this was 4 days ago when he was fighting Lei Pong and was still at the peak of the first stage in the 'Monach's Eternal body', Shun Long wouldn't have a way to deal with these spikes.

But now, after having already advanced to the middle of the second stage, Shun Long was confident that he could easily smash through Xiao Juyan's defenses with his full strength.

However, after taking half a step forward, Shun Long's golden eyes lit up before he suddenly tilted his head to the left.

Swish

Just as Shun Long tilted his head, a spike-shaped stone flew at incredible speed, as it swept past him and barely missing his face.

This sneak attack that was aimed at Shun Long's face, could have easily crippled him if not outright killed him.

Xiao Juyan was genuinely shocked that his attack had missed. This was a trump card that he had never revealed before, and yet Shun Long still managed to avoid it, almost as if he knew that it was coming.

The crowd didn't even have any time to react as they saw Xiao Juyan constantly bombarding Shun Long with numerous flying spikes.

One after another, the rock spikes flew at Shun Long, who activated his 'Monarch's Domain' for the second time, and avoiding all of them he arrived in front of Xiao Juyan.

Xiao Juyan tried to open the distance between them but Shun Long was even faster than him.

Gathering the strength of his 'Monarch's Eternal body' in his right fist, Shun Long sent a full-powered punch at Xiao Juyan's abdomen.

His fist passed through the sharp shaped rocks, like a hot knife cutting through butter, as it directly hit Xiao Juyan right in the stomach.

Xiao Juyan was sent flying as he spurted a mouthful of fresh blood. Inside the blood, the crowd shivered as they could even spot pieces of his internal organs, before his body fell back down as it violently crashed on the ground, creating a small human-shaped hole.

The entire arena had started cheering in excitement but Shun Long didn't seem to be done yet.

Everyone watched him curiously as he slowly walked towards Xiao Juyan, whose body was still buried on the ground.

After dragging him out of the hole, Shun Long suddenly heard someone shouting from the audience seats.

''Shun Long, what are you trying to do? The fight is already over!'' Xiao Shitou asked nervously after seeing his brother get dragged around like a dog.

Shun Long, for the first time, flashed a devilish smile as he said

''Then why hasn't Xiao Juyan surrendered yet? My sect jade hasn't lit up, so your brother hasn't lost his consciousness or surrendered yet.''

Fu Peizhi who also wanted to intervene decided to stay silent. What Shun Long had just said was the truth after all, and in case he decided to interfere in an 'ongoing arena fight', the Elder responsible for the arena rules might even strip him from his rank.

Ren Gui also curiously watched Shun Long, who smiled at Xiao Juyan all of a sudden.

Then, he turned his head to look towards Xiao Shitou and Lin Wu in the crowd as he asked

''What do you know about the assassination attempt at the Blue Forest?''

''Shun Long is breaking the arena rules! Quickly, someone call the sect Elders!'' Lin Wu screamed in panic.

Everyone in the crowd around her sneered as they looked at Lin Wu with mocking looks in their eyes, wondering if this girl was some kind of special idiot.

Shun Long didn't even turn his head to look at Lin Wu. His golden eyes were staring at Xiao Juyan as he waited for his answer.

''I su-''

SLAP

Shun Long's hand slapped Xiao Juyan's face startling everyone before he said in a cold tone

''Don't even think that you can surrender in front of me. Did you think that it's going to be that easy? You will either tell me what I want to know, or I will make sure that you won't be able to walk out of here by yourself!''

Xiao Juyan started laughing loudly as he heard Shun Long's threatening words and asked

''I won't walk here by myself? I'm curious as to how you are going to accomplish that? Don't tell me that you have the guts to cripple me, let alone kill me!''

Shun Long smiled after hearing Xiao Juyan's words, as he then said

''Little Black, do it.''
