Chapter 541 - 541 Fighting Su Bao (2)
How could Shun Long fail to notice the increased agitation and despair that showed on Su Bao's face with every passing moment?
It only took a few seconds for Shun Long to piece everything together and realize why the middle-aged man in front of him was so agitated causing Shun Long to mock him without restraint in his mind.
''You want to take my sword? Take it if you can!''
Unfortunately for Su Bao, Shun Long wasn't feeling pressured in the slightest during their battle and was merely getting used to his increase in cultivation without fighting for so long.
However, Shun Long knew that even though Su Bao didn't pose any danger to him right now, the same couldn't be said if Su Dong also joined his side.
Although Shun Long wasn't afraid of them, he knew that the difficulty of the battle would increase by more than 2 times if the middle-aged man returned and the 2 of them joined hands against him.
After all, every single arrow coming from Su Dong was at least at the same level as Su Bao's full-powered attacks with his sword, and their teamwork where one could attack him from afar while the other one keeps him tied in close range could prove more difficult to handle.
However, it would only be slightly more difficult in the end.
And yet, in the end, after giving it some more thought, Shun Long nodded his head and closed his eyes for a second before he gathered his qi inside his sword.
Although he was getting used to the increase in his cultivation, he still had to take care of the mission in the end, as well as take care of Ying Gui. He didn't want the first mission that he accepted to be a failure because the person he had to protect died, especially when it was only a D-rank mission.
When Su Bao saw Shun Long snapping his eyes open a moment later, he involuntarily took a step back as he felt his senses screaming at him to escape.
It was too bad that Shun Long didn't give him such a chance, as he looked at him coldly with his golden eyes and said
''Let's end this.''
''Screw this!''
Although Su Bao was greedy and didn't want to give up with such a treasure right in front of him, he could no longer be bothered to obtain the black sword in Shun Long's hands when this feeling of terror overwhelmed him, as he instantly tried to escape and fly towards the entrance of the 'Flame Lion's' canyon, hoping that he could regroup with Su Dong before they took care of Shun Long together.
Unlike most people, Su Bao was always someone who would listen to his own gut feeling since it had saved his life more than once already.
If he thought that there was no hope to win a fight, he wouldn't stay and sacrifice his life like an idiot!.
After all, he could always come back along with Su Dong and join hands with him to kill Shun Long.
However, before he could turn around and leave, the feeling of danger that Su Bao felt seemed to have abruptly reached its peak, causing his heart to go cold with fear.
Without any hesitation, he instantly abandoned his plan to escape and focused his eyes on Shun Long ready to go all-out and defend against his attack.
Unfortunately, the moment that he raised his head, he saw Shun Long holding the black sword with both hands before he slashed it forward, causing a terrifying black-colored slash that was covered with lightning to fly towards the terrified Su Bao
''Thundergod's slash!''
''NO!''
Su Bao shouted in despair when he felt the black-colored slash that was akin to death himself looking at him in the eye, before he raised his crimson sword in front of his face, while at the same time he covered his entire body with all of his qi, creating a qi shield and hoping that he could survive this terrifying attack.
''STOP!''
Just as the 'Thundergod's slash' had arrived less than 2 meters away from Su Bao and was about to collide with his red sword and his qi shield, a voice filled with fury came from the entrance of the canyon, as Shun Long saw a metal arrow covered in red flames tearing through the air before it collided with his 'Thundergod's slash'!
Su Bao's eyes instantly brightened when he saw the arrow coming from behind him while a look of hope reappeared in his heart!
This was the 'Flame arrow'! A Mystic high-grade martial skill that Su Dong had been cultivating for many years, as well as his strongest move!
Indeed, Su Dong had just returned and had only managed to step past the entrance of the 'Flame Lion's' canyon, when he saw the terrible position that Su Bao had been placed in.
It was obvious that he had just been trying to escape but Shun Long wasn't going to allow him to do so.
Seeing that the arrow was about to collide with his Thundergod's slash head-on, Shun Long's gaze instantly turned serious, as his golden eyes started to light up with an almost imperceptible azure color.
Before the 'Flame arrow' could actually collide with his Thundergod's slash, Shun Long mumbled in a low voice
''Disappear!''
At that moment, the nearly invisible blue light coming from his eyes instantly became much brighter before the arrow's tip actually started to vanish.
Under Su Bao's and Su Dong's disbelieving eyes, in less than a single moment, the body of the arrow quickly followed suit as well, before Su Dong's attack disappeared in front of their disbelieving eyes.
Of course, this was the strength of Shun Long's 'Eternal Banishment'. Even though this move consumed an enormous amount of qi, it managed to completely banish Su Dong's 'Flame arrow' into absolute nothingness.
Despair and disbelief colored Su Bao's face as he saw the terrifying black slash that appeared right in front of him, while a look of incredulity had colored Su Dong's face at the same time.
Holding the crimson sword with both hands, Su Bao raised it right above his head, as he unwillingly took Shun Long's 'Thundergod's slash' head-on.

Author's note: I originally thought that Eternal Banishment was pretty self-explanatory due to its name so I didn't explain it as thoroughly as I perhaps should have, so I'll explain it here as well
The technique actually banishes something to an entirely different time-space/prison forever, completely removing it from the current reality.
