620 Chapter 620
Staring at the 10 meters long water spear in front of him, a bright blue light suddenly appeared from Shun Long's eyes in the next moment.
The blue light from Shun Long's 'Eternal Banishment' completely enveloped Lim Yu's water spear in a single instant, and under Lim Yu's disbelieving eyes, as soon as his water spear was touched by this blue light, the tip of the spear started to fade into nothingness.
''How is this possible?? What kind of martial skill is this?''
Lim Yu watched with eyes filled with shock, as his strongest attack, the first form of a Saint low-grade martial skill, didn't even manage to approach Shun Long before it finally disappeared in front of his eyes.
Even Elder Teng in the sky couldn't believe what he was seeing, as his eyes stared solemnly at the bright blue light coming from Shun Long's golden eyes that was slowly turning dimmer and dimmer.
Naturally, to deal with a Saint low-grade martial skill like this, was something that even Elder Teng, an Elder who had been overseeing the battles in the arena had never seen before.
The Holy sect has thousands of geniuses, especially those monsters in the top 1000 rankings in the Martial Roll of Honor as well as the inner court disciples and the even more terrifying core disciples, but in his eyes, none of them had such a bizarre skill like Shun Long's 'Eternal Banishment'.
Elder Teng could even accept that Shun Long had comprehended an extremely rare Dao like the Dao of Space, but as a peak Dao King, how could he not sense that the blue light coming from Shun Long's eyes had nothing to do with his Dao of Space?
''What kind of Dao has this kid really comprehended? This is definitely not the Dao of Space!''
Shun Long was completely unaware of the shock he had caused to the white-robed Elder of the sect in the sky, as he simply stared at Lim Yu seriously with his bright golden eyes.
Although he had successfully used his 'Eternal Banishment' to deal with Lim Yu's 'Water spear', Shun Long had used more than 60 percent of his qi this time.
Of course, the mental shock that this had caused to Lim Yu after seeing his strongest Saint-grade martial skill disappear into nothingness, was much more shocking than Shun Long simply expending more than half of his qi for it!
In the past, Shun Long knew that he would have been hard-pressed to deal with a martial skill like Lim Yu's 'Water spear' using his Eternal Banishment since Lim Yu's cultivation was actually much higher than his.
If Shun Long was still at the peak of rank 3 in the Nascent Soul like he was 10 days ago, he would only be able to fight against Lim Yu's water spear using his 'Thundergod's slash', and it still wouldn't be that easy to deal with it.
But now, with his cultivation that had entered the middle stages of the Nascent Soul and his comprehension of his Dao of Time that had reached the late-stages of the Nascent Soul as well, Shun Long knew that unless Lim Yu's comprehension of his own Dao had reached the peak of the Nascent Soul already, it was actually possible to deal with the first form of a Saint low-grade martial skill like Lim Yu's 'Water spear'.
Holding the black, star-rank sword in his hand, Shun Long didn't give a chance for Lim Yu to prepare another attack as he infused his qi into the sword, causing the mysterious runes and patterns on its surface to instantly lit up.
''A star-rank weapon! That sword is definitely a star-rank weapon!''
''Are you serious? Even among the disciples in the top 100 factions, how many of them have star-rank weapons?''
The disciples in the crowd immediately clamored in shock and excitement when they realized that Shun Long's sword was really a star-rank weapon.
Even among the disciples in the top 100 factions, those who owned star-rank weapons were still rare.
After all, star-rank weapons were usually wielded by Dao Emperors, so for a few Nascent Soul stage outer disciples to possess such weapons, unless they came from an extremely powerful background or they had somehow stumbled upon such a fortuitous opportunity, it would be practically impossible for them to get their hands on a star-rank weapon.
As the runes and patters on the black sword lit up, Shun Long slashed it forward without any hesitation as he said in a cold voice
''Thundergod's slash!''
An enormous, black-colored slash, with sparks of lightning crackling around it emerged from the black sword's edge, flying straight towards the still stunned Lim Yu.
Lim Yu instantly shivered the moment he felt the terrifying aura that was coming towards him.
He could feel that he was already exhausted after using his 'Water spear' and his speed wasn't enough for him to dodge.
Holding the small black dagger in his hand, Lim Yu's aura at the early rank 6 of the Nascent Soul exploded outwards, as he gathered all of his qi in his dagger and thrust it forward!
BOOOOM!
The moment that the black-colored slash collided with Lim Yu's dagger Lim Yu's eyes widened in horror, before his body was sent flying back uncontrollably barely a moment later.
The disciples in the crowd watched with mouths agape as Lim Yu's body flew for more than 100 meters, until it reached the forest behind him, smashing on more than a dozen trees before the early rank 6 Nascent Soul Lim Yu finally collapsed on the ground.
The web on his right hand was torn open with blood flowing from it unceasingly, but the most horrifying thing was the large wound on Lim Yu's chest.
It was obvious that even after going all-out, Lim Yu hadn't managed to resist the power from the black-colored slash, causing it to strike his chest directly, creating a terrifying wound.
''WHOAH!''
''He really won! He defeated Lim Yu's entire faction!''
The crowd instantly exploded with cheers of excitement barely a moment later, as everyone's eyes had been completely captured by the terrifying sword slash just now.
Even the few rank 7 Nascent Soul outer disciples who were sitting in the audience seats, were now staring at Shun Long seriously upon feeling the power of his 'Thundergod's slash'.
No matter what, whether it was the bizarreness of his 'Eternal Banishment' that had managed to erase Lim Yu's 'Water spear' or the raw power of his 'Thundergod's slash' paired with his star-rank sword, each of them was enough to make even these rank 7 Nascent Soul stage cultivators look at Shun Long somewhat seriously.
Seeing that Lim Yu's body was still twitching, the white-robed Elder Teng heaved out in relief, before he turned his attention towards the yellow-robed young man with golden eyes at the center of the arena and stared at him with a complicated look in his eyes.
For a middle rank 4 Nascent Soul stage cultivator to defeat someone at the early rank 6 like Lim Yu, this faction war was definitely going to spread throughout the entire sect.
With a smile on his face, Elder Teng waved his hand a moment later as he declared in a loud voice
''Faction war:
Winner, Shun Long's faction!''
Hearing the cheers from the crowd, Shun Long simply smiled, as he turned around and walked towards Liu Mei's and the rest's location in the forest behind him.
Although the outer disciples in the crowd were all geniuses themselves, for someone who could battle above his level and defeat an entire faction by himself, they were definitely going to cheer for him.
After all, although all of them were geniuses, the reason they were in the arena was to enjoy themselves and see an interesting battle!
A few moments later, Shun Long arrived at the place where Liu Mei and the others were waiting for him, all of them staring at him with smiles on their faces.
They had all heard Elder Teng's voice just now, but to Jiang Chen and the rest, this was only natural.
There was no way that Shun Long was going to lose this faction war.
With the same smile on his face, Shun Long led everyone out of the arena as he walked back towards his own courtyard.
Although he had won the first faction war today, this was only the beginning.
..
In the blink of an eye, 5 months quickly passed, and less than a month was now left until the Martial Roll of Honor tournament.
