Monarch Of Time

Chapter 543 - 543 Lethal attack

Shun Long who was still in a trance immediately regained his senses as he realized that Su Dong had fired 2 more of his metal arrows.

Grabbing the arrow that had pierced his left fist, he then clenched his teeth and pulled it out forcefully, causing even more blood to spurt from his wound.

And yet, Shun Long forcefully ignored the pain that had turned even more intense when he pulled out the metal arrow, before he turned his eyes towards Su Dong and the 2 arrows that were now cutting through the air as they flew in his direction.

After a moment of thought, Shun Long realized that there were 2 reasons why he had been ambushed just now and had ended up getting injured by Su Dongʼs arrow.

The first reason was, that he wasnʼt familiar enough with archers and didnʼt know that they could use their qi to completely control the direction of their arrows in mid-air.

Indeed, the scene that had appeared in his mind after activating his golden eyes had showed Shun Long that after he had dodged Su Dongʼs arrow, the arrow actually turned around and chased after him as it tried to pierce his heart from the back.

If Shun Long hadnʼt noticed it, even if he had really survived such a lethal attack, it would have definitely dealt an extremely serious injury.

Of course, although Shun Long had fought with many cultivators in the past, most of them had used either swords, spears, or their own hands, and didnʼt use bows and arrows, which was why he actually wasnʼt familiar with an archerʼs fighting style.

As for the second reason, it was actually the fact that this golden arrow that Su Dong had used, was actually completely different than the first 2 arrows that he had used against Shun Long before the fight had started.

To be able to pierce his skin when his ʼMonarchʼs Eternal bodyʼ had already reached the early fifth stage, Shun Long guessed that the arrow was probably either at the peak of rank 3 in the silver grade or it had actually reached the gold grade.

However, there was no more time for him to analyze the situation in front of him as the 2 arrows that Su Dong had fired were less than 200 meters away from him.

However, as he held the black sword with both hands and was about to deal with them, Shun Long suddenly noticed that his left hand had started to swell as it slowly turned purple.

His eyes instantly narrowed as a single thought appeared in his mind, before he turned his attention to the golden arrow that he had already removed from his fist and thrown it on the ground a few moments ago

ʼʼI have actually been poisoned!ʼʼ

Su Dong laughed furiously when he saw that Shun Long had finally realized this, as he shook his head and said mockingly

ʼʼHahaha! Itʼs too late to realize it now. The moment that the ʼGolden pythonʼsʼ poison entered your blood, your fate was already sealed.ʼʼ

Shun Long didnʼt respond to Su Dong as he turned his eyes towards the 2 arrows that were flying towards his direction.

He didnʼt need Su Dongʼs gloating explanation to know that the poison in his blood came from a rank 5 ʼGolden pythonʼ.

He clearly knew that the ʼGolden pythonʼ was an extremely weak middle rank 5 magic beast that even a peak rank 3 Nascent Soul stage cultivator could kill by himself. However, the python was still feared by many other middle rank 5 magic beasts despite its extremely low combat ability, precisely because of its potent poison.

Although its poison was extremely slow-acting, it could even prove to be lethal for many middle rank 5 magic beasts, subjecting them to extreme agony before they died.

Thus, unless absolutely necessary, most middle rank 5 magic beasts wouldnʼt provoke a rank 5 ʼGolden pythonʼ.

Of course, it was possible to expel the pythonʼs poison using a rank 5 ʼanti-toxin pillʼ, but whether Su Dong would give such a chance to Shun Long, that was a completely different issue.

Looking at the arrows that were flying in his direction, Shun Long obviously wouldnʼt do the mistake of ignoring them this time, as he clenched his black sword tightly and swung it towards the first arrow.

Seeing that his arrow was about to get hit, Su Dong used his qi to try and change its direction to avoid the attack, but regardless of how much he tried, Shun Longʼs sword speed was simply incomparable to the speed of his arrow that had already entered inside his ʼMonarchʼs Domainʼ.

Crack!

The metal arrow instantly snapped in half as soon as the black sword hit it before Shun Long turned his attention towards the second arrow. Without any suspense and regardless of how hard Su Dong tried to control it, the second arrow broke in half as well, as its connection was also severed from Su Dong at that moment.

As Shun Long continued moving forward, he saw that Su Dong was slowly moving backwards, as he fired arrow after arrow towards him.

And yet, the look in his eyes was extremely serious, as he destroyed every single arrow that came his way while he was quickly approaching even closer to Su Dong.

Finally, a few moments later, the moment that Shun Long entered within a 300 meters range from Su Dong, a cold smile appeared on his lips as he said in a calm voice

ʼʼItʼs over!ʼʼ

Under Su Dongʼs disbelieving eyes, Shun Long abruptly disappeared from the spot he was standing as he suddenly appeared behind him. Without any hesitation, he then swung the black sword with his right hand towards Su Dongʼs neck.

Before he could even react, the peak rank 6 Nascent Soul stage cultivatorʼs head was instantly severed from his body, causing a fountain of blood to spurt in the air.

Ying Gui stared at the scene in front of him with awe and fear, as he saw the expert from the Su family die in Shun Longʼs hands, with a single sword strike.
