Chapter 423: Dont throw away your life (2/2)

Indeed, 'senior brother Qiong' stared at Shun Long with the same solemn look before he continued

''I admit that you are strong... at least strong enough for me to take you seriously, but the only reason that you managed to kill those 2 was thanks to me keeping that woman busy, as well as the old man not taking you seriously to begin with. If it wasn't because he underestimated your speed since you are still at the early rank 1 of the Nascent Soul, there was no way that you would have even managed to harm him, let alone kill him. However, I'm not going to do the same mistake.

I am warning you because you are strong enough to do so, but don't think that you can fight against me head-on!

I am sure that you are aware that I am not like those 2 scum that you just killed.

I suggest that you don't throw your life away for a single Holy sect's token. If we really start fighting, I will not spare your life.''

Shun Long slowly narrowed his eyes as he stared at the golden-robed man in front of him.

Although the man's words were laced with threats left and right, it was obvious that he didn't want to fight him head-on if he didn't have to.

However, it was also obvious that he wasn't going to give up the Holy sect's token either.

In 'senior brother Qiong's' eyes, Shun Long was a much easier target to deal with compared to the black-robed woman and the old man whom he was fighting against previously.

After all, no matter how strong Shun Long was, it was most likely only his speed that had reached the level of a peak rank 3 Nascent Soul stage cultivator!

Additionally, if it wasn't because the black-robed woman knew that she had no chance of fight against Shun Long and 'senior brother Qiong' at the same time, she wouldn't have resorted to fleeing in the first place.

Staring at the young man in front of him who was waiting for his answer, Shun Long ignored the 4 middle-rank 3 Nascent Soul stage cultivators who were previously fighting with each other and were now staring at the Holy sect's token on the ground like a pack of wolves ready to pounce at it, before he shook his head a moment later, and said in a firm tone

''You are indeed stronger than the old man and that woman, but you are wrong about something. Even if the old man was on his guard against me, he would still have died all the same.

At the same time, I would rather not kill someone I have no enmity with.

If you leave, you can still find another city and have a chance of obtaining another token to pass the third test. However, if we start fighting, don't expect to leave alive.''

Sigh

The moment that Shun Long finished his words, he saw the golden-robed man's expression slowly darken before he let out a sigh.

Then with a look of disappointment on his face, 'senior brother Qiong' stared at him before he said

''I don't have enough time to waste with you. Either turn around and leave... or DIE!''

Boundless killing intent suddenly erupted from the golden-robed man's body when he uttered the last word, before an enormous flame pillar started to condense itself in the air around him.

Seeing that the golden-robed man had no intentions of avoiding this fight, Shun Long nodded his head without saying another word.

At this point, arguing with each other was useless.

Holding the black, star-rank sword with both hands, he closed his eyes for a moment as he infused his qi inside it.

The strange and intertwining black runes and patterns on the sword's surface started to lit up, while sparks of lightning started to appear on the sword's surface at the same time.

With a serious look, Shun Long then stared at the enormous pillar of flames above 'senior brother Qiong's' head that seemed to have reached its peak, before he mumbled to himself

''Hopefully you won't die from this. Thundergod's slash!''
