Monarch of Time

Chapter 273: Fighting He Zhenkang

A look of disbelief appeared in He Zhenkang's eyes when he saw the faces on the 4 heads that had rolled all the way to his feet.

They were his rank 2 Spirit realm subordinates!

Raising his head to look at the entrance of the shop, He Zhenkang then saw a dozen giant black-armored knights who had beheaded his subordinates from behind.

The black-armored knights were more than 3m(10ft) tall each, with red wisps of ember shining in their eye sockets, while each of them was also holding a 2m(l6.6ft) long greatsword in their hands.

A pair of undead knights had each attacked one of the 4 rank 2 Spirit realm cultivators who were standing in front of the shop, while the remaining 4 undead knights had tried to ambush the remaining rank 3 Spirit realm cultivators.

The rank 3 Spirit realm cultivators seemed to have sensed the ambush and had managed to fend off the 4 undead knights that attacked them, and subsequently destroy them with ease, but the rank 2 Spirit realm cultivators had already been killed in a single instant.

Looking at the 4 headless corpses in front of the shop, each of them having their head severed by the combined attack from 2 undead knights, He Zhenkang immediately understood what had happened, while an ugly expression had appeared on his face as he shouted loudly

''YOU FUCKING BRAT!''

The rank 3 Spirit realm experts looked at each other and without any hesitation, they attacked the other 8 undead knights in front of the shop.

At the same time, He Zhenkang tried to calm his emotions as he looked at the overall situation

''These black-armored knights surely belong to that brat! They must have stayed hidden inside the shop all this time just to find the perfect moment to ambush us!''

Indeed, as an experienced fighter, how could He Zhenkang not have recognized that the undead knights had taken advantage of the chaos during the fight, when everyone's attention was on Shun Long and the middle rank 5 Spirit realm expert, in order to attack them when they were completely unaware.

Thankfully, the undead knights were only at the peak of rank 1 in the Spirit realm... otherwise, even his rank 3 Spirit realm subordinates may have died today.

Staring at Shun Long, He Zhenkang's eyes were filled with killing intent as he manipulated his water tiger that had already arrived behind Shun Long to bite off his neck!

His losses could already be considered catastrophic today, and even Shun Long's death wasn't enough to make up for them!

He had not only lost 8 Spirit realm experts, but among them, 2 of them were at the rank 4 while the other 2 were at the middle of rank 5!

The water tiger was full of ferocity as it opened its giant jaws and tried to bite off Shun Long's neck.

A feeling of danger had filled Shun Long's heart, as his golden eyes lit up with a blue light.

Without even turning around, Shun Long activated the Gale steps and hurriedly dodged sideways, avoiding the tiger's deadly attack.

He Zhenkang however had a smile filled with fury and killing intent as he looked at Shun Long, before he said in a mocking tone

''Brat, I wonder how long you can keep this up for!

Your movements have already started to slow down!''

Shun Long gritted his teeth but he didn't respond to He Zhenkang's taunts as he thought to himself

''Indeed, I can't keep going like this. The spatial blade is consuming too much energy from my 'Monarch's Eternal body'. Although it's not really slowing down my movements, I won't be able to hold out for too long.''

Gritting his teeth, Shun Long allowed the illusionary purple-colored blade to completely disperse, before he took out the 'Purple Blossom staff' from the 'Stone of Time'.

''A staff?'' He Zhenkang asked in astonishment.

The movements of the tiger however didn't stop, as it continuously assaulted Shun Long.

Seeing the water tiger's claws sweep towards his face and chest, Shun Long used the 'Purple Blossom staff' as he parried the water tiger's attacks without much of a problem.

Although the tiger was strong, it was barely at the same level, as the peak rank 5 Spirit realm corpse that Shun Long had defeated in the Netherspirit forest.

As he fought against the tiger, Shun Long slowly approached closer to He Zhenkang.

He Zhenkang however immediately noticed his movements, and after seeing that Shun Long could fight the tiger on even grounds, he gathered more of his qi in his hands as he punched the air in front of him.

A fist-sized ball of water came out from He Zhenkang's silver gloves, shooting towards Shun Long like a cannonball!

Shun Long's golden eyes flashed with a blue light, and after predicting the trajectory of the water cannonball that was going to accurately hit his right foot, he took 3 steps to the side, avoiding the tiger's claws at the same time.

Even though He Zhenkang was stunned for a moment, his movements didn't stop, as he punched the air in front of him again and again, shooting countless water cannonballs at Shun Long.

Activating the second 'Monarch's Domain' as well as the Gale steps, Shun Long's speed sky-rocketed, as he instantly broke free from the water tiger and headed towards He Zhenkang.

He didn't even have to pay any attention to the water cannonballs, seemingly as if he knew exactly where they were going to land.

He Zhenkang however didn't seem flustered when he saw Shun Long rushing towards him, as he then joined his palms together.

He had already seen Shun Long's speed a while ago and was already prepared.

Running towards He Zhenkang, Shun Long saw a gigantic water wall appearing from the ground, completely enshrouding the early rank 6 Spirit realm expert.

Shun Long however didn't stop, and as he approached closer to He Zhenkang he mumbled to himself

'Blink'

He Zhenkang's eyes widened as he saw Shun Long's figure instantly vanishing.

Appearing right above the early rank 6 Spirit realm expert, Shun Long held the 'Purple Blossom staff' with both hands, as he swung it downwards at full force.

A shocked expression appeared on He Zhenkang's face, while the scent of death had filled his heart.

He knew that if he allowed the staff to hit him, he would certainly die without question.

Gritting his teeth, the early rank 6 Spirit realm expert hurriedly raised his hands as his silver-colored gloves met the descending staff.

BOOM

Crack

Shun Long could feel the staff almost slipping away from his hands as soon as it collided with the silver-colored gloves.

At the same time, he saw He Zhenkang whose feet had sunk on the ground, leaving behind deep imprints, while some of his bones seemed to have been broken.

Shun Long however didn't stop, as he swung the staff horizontally once again, using all of his might to activate the second move of the 'Staff of Obliteration'!

He knew that if he didn't finish off the early rank 6 Spirit realm expert now, he wouldn't be able to do it later on.

He Zhenkang raised his arms, creating a water wall between himself and Shun Long, while at the same time he tried to escape as far as he could.

He was ready to escape back to the 'Blood Pill pavilion' before asking for help.

The purple staff however easily tore through the water wall, destroying it in an instant.

Shun Long's eyes were fully focused, and without any hesitation, he chained the third attack of the 'Staff of Obliteration'.

He Zhenkang had no time to dodge, as the 'Purple Blossom staff' hit his chest with overpowering force.

Having used his full strength in this attack, Shun Long tore a huge hole in the early rank 6 Spirit realm expert's chest, as he sent him flying through the air before He Zhenkang collapsed in front of the shop's entrance.

The rank 3 Spirit realm subordinates were just a few tens of meters away from the shop, but none of them dared to approach He Zhenkang.

Just as He Zhenkang's fingers twitched however, a terrifying 3m(10ft) tall undead knight appeared right above his head.

Under the stunned gazes of the 3 rank 3 Spirit realm cultivators, the undead knight swung his greatsword, beheading He Zhenkang in an instant!
