Chapter 449: Flames of Destruction (1/2)
As his voice resounded in the air, Shun Long punched forward with his right hand, as a burst of terrifying, pitch-black flames erupted from his arm, before they collided with the silver-colored sword slash in front of him head-on.
However, the scene that followed exceeded everyone's expectations!
There was no loud explosion once the silver-colored sword slash met with the terrifying flames.
Instead, the black flames quickly engulfed the sword slash before they completely swallowed it, leaving no traces of it behind.
And yet, the powerful sword slash only managed to stop the black flames for a single moment, before they continued to descend towards the arena, flying towards the yellow-robed young man from the Holy sect.
Seeing this scene, the long-haired young man's eyes instantly widened while an expression of fear finally appeared on his face.
The moment that he saw that his Saint low-grade martial skill had not only failed to defeat the peak rank 1 Nascent Soul stage rookie in the air, but it didn't even manage to weaken the ball of black flames in the slightest, made the yellow-robed young man's face instantly pale.
Of course, the 'Flames of Destruction' was a unique skill to black dragons that humans couldn't possibly use. The only reason why Shun Long could use it, was because he had activated the power of his bloodline and wasn't much different than an actual black dragon during that time. As for how strong these flames really were, if they were rated in the terms of a martial skill, then they far exceeded the might of a normal Saint low-grade martial skill.
At that moment, right before Shun Long's 'Flames of Destruction' were about to hit the long-haired young man from the Holy sect, a soft sigh resounded throughout the arena, as everyone turned their eyes towards the white-robed Dao Emperor in the sky and saw him waving his hand!
The black flames that were just a few inches away from the yellow-robed young man suddenly stopped in the air, almost as if they had met with an invisible wall, before they were slowly extinguished.
At that moment, complete silence filled the arena, as everyone stared at the blue-robed young man in the sky with different expressions on their faces.
It didn't matter if it was in the eyes of the disciples of the Holy sect or those sitting in the audience seats, Shun Long had completely become the center of attention at this moment, attracting everyone's gazes.
Some of these disciples were filled with shock, while others felt disbelief, nearly unable to believe that the scene in front of their eyes was real. A peak rank 1 Nascent Soul stage rookie had actually managed to defeat a disciple of the Holy sect at the peak of rank 4 of the Nascent Soul?
The most surprising thing however, was the intense gazes of the female disciples sitting in the audience seats.
Most of them had a fervent look in their eyes as they stared at the handsome, blue-robed young man in the sky, while anyone could guess their thoughts from the expressions on their faces.
At the same time, a dazzling smile that could encapture the hearts of men and women alike appeared on Liu Mei's face behind her white veil, while a look of pride filled her eyes as she stared at the handsome, blue-robed young man in the arena.
Meanwhile, the green-robed dazzling beauty, Xie Xingyi seemed to have heaved out a sigh of relief after seeing the white-robed Dao Emperor stopping the fight, while the look in her eyes seemed to have been filled with joy.
Since the Elder from the Holy sect was forced to step forward to stop the fight personally, it clearly meant that Shun Long had passed the test.
Of course, what none of them knew, was that the reason why Cao Ling had interfered in the fight, was because he could feel that Shun Long's 'Flames of Destruction' wouldn't have simply severely injured the long-haired young man. Instead, the tyrannical black flames would completely destroy his soul!
