Monarch Of Time

Chapter 981 Shun Long vs Xuan Bo

This time, it wasnʼt just the surrounding Dao Kings and Dao Emperors but even the purple-robed overseer who had been looking forward to the upcoming fight between Shun Long and Xuan Bo.

With a wide smile on his face, the old man clapped his hands attracting everyoneʼs attention, before he said in a loud, booming voice

ʼʼAlright, you little brats, the time has come. Both of you step forward.ʼʼ

As the old manʼs voice trailed off, Xuan Bo didnʼt waste a moment as he walked directly towards Shun Long who was seated at the other edge of the mountain. His calm, measured footsteps sounded particularly loud in the silence that permeated the mountain peak, as the handsome peak-stage Dao Emperor appeared in front of him in the blink of an eye.

Then, under Liu Meiʼs and the restʼs wary gazes, the aura of the young prince of the Tianxuan dynasty suddenly exploded with the indomitable might of a peak rank 9 Dao Emperor, before his palm flew straight towards Shun Longʼs chest.

Xuan Bo didnʼt waste any words nor did he try to lower his opponentʼs mental state through cheap tricks or meaningless discussions. There was no reason to do that in the first place. He was the strongest Dao Emperor in the ʼCity of Immortalsʼ right now and one of the two rising stars of the central continent... along with that newly advanced Sovereign from the ʼWhite Tiger chamber of commerceʼ. In fact, with the rewards he had gained from the ʼCity of Immortalsʼ this time, Xuan Bo was confident that by the time he broke through to the Sovereign realm, he would soon be hailed as the number one genius of the entire central continent.

And right now, the only person who stood in his way was a mere peak rank 8 Dao King!

A moment later, Shun Long and the young prince of the Tianxuan dynasty both vanished from the mountain peak, leaving behind a scene of deathly silence, curiosity, and excitement lingering in the air.

...

The next time he opened his eyes, Shun Long found himself in the heart of that same, familiar coliseum.

Just like before, everything around him was the same it had been during his fight with Huang Yun as well. The countless grains of sand on the ground, the thousands of exquisitely crafted stone seats in the spectator stands, as well as the arenaʼs desolate feeling of emptiness... none of them had changed.

The only thing that was different was the luxuriously robed youth standing in front of him.

As he stared at Xuan Bo and felt his intense fighting spirit, as well as the deep killing intent the young prince was emitting, Shun Long nodded his head before his ʼMonarchʼs Eternal bodyʼ burst with unstoppable power as well.

A moment later, both figures disappeared from the spots they were standing on, as Shun Long and Xuan Bo finally clashed against each other at the center of the arena... fist against fist.

ʼʼBOOOOOM!ʼʼ

A powerful shockwave shook the ancient arena as Shun Longʼs fist met Xuan Boʼs, before both of them were pushed backwards for more than a dozen meters until they finally came to a halt.

And yet, this first exchange was only the beginning, as Shun Long could tell that the young prince of the Tianxuan dynasty was trying to gauge his strength and was still holding back. Xuan Bo was fighting him with just the power of his physical body, and naturally, Shun Long was doing the same.

In the blink of an eye, the two of them had already exchanged more than a hundred strikes and yet they didnʼt seem to slow down in the slightest. In fact, their fight became more and more brutal as time went on, while their attacks were turning even stronger and merciless.

Soon, Xuan Bo had stopped trying to gauge Shun Longʼs level, and was already giving it his all, targetting his opponentʼs head, heart, and abdomen in every exchange.

And yet, with every time he attacked, the young prince of the Tianxuan dynasty always found himself on the backfoot, his expression turning more and more serious with every passing second.

Although Shun Long was just a peak rank 8 Dao King, his body refinement cultivation was that of a peak sixth stage body refiner, so naturally, it wasnʼt the slightest bit inferior to an average peak-stage Dao King.

However, Xuan Bo could tell that even a normal peak-stage Dao King would be obliterated in a single exchange if they met Shun Longʼs fist head-on.

Xuan Bo always prided himself for his physical strength which was one of his strongest aspects, and yet, in front of Shun Longʼs terrifying power, even the young prince of the Tianxuan dynasty found himself on the backfoot.

Whether it was in terms of strength, speed, or even resiliency, Xuan Bo found himself weaker in every regard!

At the same time however, what Xuan Bo didnʼt know, was that Shun Long was also surprised by the power of this young prince of the Tianxuan dynasty.

If it was purely in terms of strength, then this Xuan Bo was slightly superior to Bai Longtian or Jiang Chen, despite not having fully used his unique physique in the fight.

Of course, with the way the fight was going, the young prince would end up losing before he could show his real strength.

Xuan Bo seemed to have realized this as well, and despite the unwillingness he felt in his heart, he finally took a step back, breaking free from his clash with Shun Long. Standing at the far edge of the circular arena, Xuan Boʼs gaze stared at the handsome azure-robed youth standing opposite him, before he eventually waved his right hand, as a sharp, dark-silver sword materialized in his hands.

With a cold, defiant gaze, the young prince stared at Shun Long without uttering a word, but his gaze was more than enough to express his emotions as he pointed the edge of his sword towards Shun Longʼs neck.

ʼEven if I lose out in terms of strength, my comprehension of the sword is still the highest in this place!ʼ

A moment later, the second level of sword insights, ʼsword auraʼ erupted from Xuan Boʼs body, bursting out like a torrential wave and quickly drowning the entire arena.
