Chapter 835: Showing his strength

The moment that Dong Cheng waved his hand, a pure-white saber seemed to have suddenly appeared in his palm, before his figure disappeared on the spot, appearing right in front of Shun Long who was calmly standing there without a care in the world.

Qiao Min and the rest of the disciples of the Holy sect were still staring at Jiang Chen and the others with looks of shock on their faces before they realized what had happened.

''Dong Cheng, stop! Come back right now!'' This was the only thing that Qiao Min managed to shout when she saw the scene in front of her, but Dong Cheng completely ignored her orders while his violet eyes were oozing with endless killing intent as he stared at Shun Long.

The aura of an early rank 4 Dao King exploded out from his body at the same time, while sparks of purple lightning had also started to appear around his hand, as well as his white saber.

It was obvious that this time, Dong Cheng was going all-out against Shun Long with his sneak attack, as he had not only fully circulated his cultivation of an early rank 4 Dao King but he had even taken out his 1-star weapon!

A look that was filled with unconcealed killing intent appeared in Liu Mei's eyes when she saw Dong Cheng's actions, while Jiang Chen, Xingyi, and Bai Longtian looked at him coldly as well.

This scene in front of them was very similar to what Dong Cheng had done back in the Holy sect during the 'Martial Roll of Honor' tournament after seeing Dong Ai being beaten.

However, neither Liu Mei, nor Jiang Chen and the others chose to interfere, and instead, they simply stared at Dong Cheng with cold looks in their eyes.

At that moment, Shun Long's eyes suddenly turned golden as he circulated his 'Monarch's Hourglass', before his cultivation at the peak of rank 3 in the Dao King realm exploded outwards as well.

In the next moment, a bright blue light covered Shun Long's entire body while a black sword appeared in his hands as well.

''DIE!'' Dong Cheng roared madly as he swung his white saber that was still crackling with sparks of purple lightning towards Shun Long's waist, clearly aiming to cleave his body in half.

This time, it wasn't just Qiao Min and the disciples of the Holy sect who were stunned by Dong Cheng's actions, but so were the surrounding Dao Kings who were watching this scene.

They could all sense that Dong Cheng was not only utilizing the power behind his cultivation base that was already at the early rank 4 of the Dao King realm, but he was also using the strength of his body that was at the early sixth stage in body refinement as well.

There were virtually very few peak rank 3 Dao Kings who would be able to stay alive in the face of such a terrifying attack.

And yet, Shun Long didn't seem to have any intentions to dodge but simply narrowed his eyes as he raised his right hand that was holding the black sword, before he said in a low but cold voice

''Monarch's Domain!''

The invisible figure of an hourglass suddenly expanded from his body, covering not just Shun Long and Dong Cheng, but every other person around him as well, including the Dao Kings who were standing more than 300 meters away and were calmly watching the fight.

It didn't matter if it were the newly advanced Dao Kings of the Holy sect, or the disciples that were ranked in the top 10 like Zheng Zihao or Mao Lim, as everyone seemed to have suddenly gone still as the flow of time around their bodies was forcibly halted.

The only one among the disciples of the Holy sect who could barely resist the effects of Shun Long's 'Monarch's Domain' was Qiao Min herself, and even she was unable to understand what was going on around her, as her mind was having trouble processing the scene in front of her eyes.

In Qiao Min's eyes, Shun Long's movements seemed to have turned extremely fast... so fast that she was unable to follow them despite her own cultivation base, while every single other disciple around her seemed to have gone still for some reason.

In fact, it wasn't just the disciples of the Holy sect who were affected by this sudden change, as every single person in a 300-meter radius around Shun Long that had yet to step foot into the rank 5 of the Dao King realm seemed to have turned motionless by now, completely unable to resist his 'Monarch's Domain'.

The only ones who could resist without too much trouble were only those rank 6 Dao Kings and above, but even those experts were now staring at Shun Long with unconcealed terror on their faces.

Although Shun Long was just a peak rank 3 Dao King, he was able to affect so many early and middle-stage Dao Kings with just a single move.

Only the few late-stage Dao King realm experts who were present could remain relatively calm in the face of this situation, as they were completely unaffected by the effects of the 'Monarch's Domain', and yet their eyes had already turned into daggers as they stared at the blue-robed young man who seemed to have turned into the center of attention in the entire city.

Shaking his head, Shun Long stared at Dong Cheng and intentionally weakened the effects of the 'Monarch's Domain' around him, as he wasn't planning on killing him like that.

Even though Dong Cheng's speed had been reduced by more than half, Dong Cheng himself didn't seem to have realized it as he kept swinging his sword towards Shun Long's waist immediately after that.

At that moment however, Shun Long simply narrowed his eyes before he swung his black sword downwards, the blade of the sword meeting Dong Cheng's saber directly.

Dong Cheng was stunned by the speed of the black sword that was unlike anything he had seen in the past, before he suddenly felt an uncontrollable force entering his arm and sending his white saber flying!

Terror finally began to appear inside Dong Cheng's eyes, but before he could even turn around to reach for his saber, the cold sensation of metal suddenly appeared on his neck, as Shun Long's cold voice entered his ears soon after

''Although I usually try to avoid pointless killings, there is truly no reason for me to keep you alive either... Begone.''
