Monarch Of Time

Chapter 65 - 65 Killing

The burly man could sense Shun Longʼs killing intention.

His voice was resolute as he sounded like there was nothing that would stop him from killing this man.

Shun Long looked at the man right in the eyes as he said

ʼʼPrepare yourselfʼʼ

He himself also took a deep breath as he tried to calm his breathing that had turned somewhat erratic. Despite everything else, Shun Long still hadnʼt killed a man in his life. He has killed magic beasts, but beasts only act on instinct, not intelligence. They either kill you or you kill them.

But killing a man was different.

There were 2 types of killers. People who killed wantonly and people who killed with a goal and reason in their minds. In the end, no cultivator could escape from the cycle of killing. To advance in life, you must step on someone else.

ʼʼWait! Do you know who I am?

I am Wong Huo from the ʼIron-hardened sectʼ!ʼʼ

The burly man could sense Shun Longʼs disturbance in his frame of mind as he quickly tried to take advantage of it.

If Yong Ru could hear this manʼs name, he would definitely be startled! It was too bad that he was under the suppression of the ʼMonarchʼs Domainʼ and couldnʼt even sense that time had stopped around him.

Shun Long just shook his head as he tightly clenched his right hand. As the ʼMonarchʼs Eternal bodyʼ provided abudant energy, Shun Long sent a punch at Wong Huo, straight at the temple.

ʼʼNOOOOO! YOU CANʼT KILL ME!ʼʼ

Wong Huo screamed terrified as he saw the approaching punch but couldnʼt escape fast enough due to the restrictions of the ʼMonarchʼs Domainʼ.

As the punch connected with his temple, Wong Huoʼs head exploded like a watermelon as his body was then sent spinning through the air.

Blood filled Shun Longʼs right hand and robes, as brain matter splattered all over the ground.

Shun Long watched this scene and his hand started to tremble. The scene of Wong Huo screaming before he died reverberated in his ears for a good while.

Shun Long took a few deep breaths, as if trying to digest the whole scene and calm his rapid heartbeats when little Blackʼs voice was heard in his head

ʼʼMaster, donʼt think too much into it. Killing is part of the natural cycle. Itʼs the same whether it involves animals, magic beasts or humans.

Animals kill each other to survive, whether it is for food or because they feel threatened.

Magic beasts kill everything that they encounter to consume their flesh and become stronger. They donʼt differentiate between humans, animals or even other magic beasts.

Humans are the same as well.

They kill animals and magic beasts for food, while they kill other humans for countless reasons, whether that involves a personal feud, treasures, and many other reasons.

This is the life of cultivators, stepping through countless corpses as they walk forward.ʼʼ

Shun Long found himself slightly lost in little Blackʼs words. After all the mental impact of when you kill a person the first time doesnʼt go away that easily.

However, the more he thought about it, the more he found that little Blackʼs words made sense. Although his soul originally belonged to this world before it was split into 3 parts, it was only now, after killing Wong Huo, that Shun Long had started to truly accept this world. The mental barriers in his heart had now started to slowly unshackle themselves.

Shun Long then stopped the ʼMonarchʼs Domainʼ, and a scream that sounded like a pig being butchered was heard.

Xiao Wan and Yong Ru who were heading towards each other, suddenly turned their heads to look at the source of the scream, only to see Xiao Li sprawled on the ground unable to move.

ʼʼNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!ʼʼ

Xiao Wan rushed to Xiao Liʼs side as he supported him while Xiao Li was still screaming in pain.

ʼʼBrother what happened to you?ʼʼ Xiao Wan asked anxiously, but Xiao Li didnʼt reply. He couldnʼt reply. The pain from having your dantian shattered was both a mental and a physical torture, beyond what most humans could endure.

At the same time, another scream was heard, this time from behind Yong Ru.

Yong Ru turned around and saw his junior sister, Qiao Lian staring at something with frozen eyes. Yong Ru and his other 2 junior sisters also followed her line of vision, only to see a headless corpse dressed in the ʼIron-hardened sectʼsʼ robes lying on the ground.

Shocked, Yong Ruʼs eyes looked around searching for Shun Long, only to see him sitting on a patch of grass with his eyes closed, as blood dyed his robes and his right hand.

This headless corpse obviously belonged to the leader of the enemyʼs group, Wong Huo.

Yong Ru didnʼt ask anything and instead turned his head to look at the 3 girls behind him. As if in tacit understanding, the girls followed Yong Ru as they encircled Xiao Wan who was still trying to calm the screaming Xiao Li.

Earlier, the 3 girls at the early stage of rank 2 would be completely useless in such a fight, but now, surrounding just the early rank 3 earth grade Xiao Wan and the crippled Xiao Li, they could definitely turn the tables on them.

Xiao Wan looked around warily as he saw the 4 of them surrounding him and his brother, and he asked in an angry voice that tried to conceal his fear

ʼʼWhat do you want? What did you do to my brother?? If you don-if you donʼt answer.. I-I will kill you all!ʼʼ

Yong Ru and the 3 girls who had now surrounded this pair of brothers, all looked at Xiao Wan disdainfully as Yong Ru was the one who spoke

ʼʼEven I can see from here that your brotherʼs dantian has shattered, donʼt tell me that you havenʼt noticed it yet.ʼʼ

Xiao Wanʼs face paled as he shouted

ʼʼBO-BOSS! SAVE MEE!ʼʼ
