Monarch Of Time

Chapter 544: Spoils of the battle

Shun Long simply smiled when he saw this scene, and ignoring the blood that had already painted his robes a bright red color, he simply shook his head before he mumbled to himself

\'\'This is definitely a peak D-rank mission. 80 sect points for this amount of work is really too little!\'\'

Without wasting a second he then waved his right hand, collecting both Su Dong\'s and Su Bao\'s spatial rings, as well as Su Bao\'s crimson sword and Su Dong\'s black bow and his metal arrows.

Of course, Shun Long wasn\'t planning on giving up his spoils. Even if they were just middle-stage Nascent Soul cultivators, Shun Long believed that the 2 of them should have a sizeable amount of spirit stones.

As for their weapons? Each of them could definitely be sold for at least 40.000 to 60.000 middle-grade spirit stones.

Indeed, after taking a look inside their spatial rings, Shun Long found a little more than 230.000 middle-grade spirit stones and some rank 5 pills.

Unfortunately, all of the pills were low-grade or middle-grade pills, making their market value practically non-existent.

After scanning Su Dong\'s body with his spirit sense, Shun Long found another spatial ring as well hidden inside his robes.

After taking a look inside this spatial ring, Shun Long found 45.000 middle-grade spirit stones, as well as a large silver axe causing him to shake his head and say

\'\'As expected..\'\'

Naturally, this was Zou Qiang\'s spatial ring.? It was obvious that Su Dong had managed to successfully kill this captain of Ying Gui\'s guards before he took his spatial ring.

Of course, the reason behind that wasn\'t just due to the difference in their cultivation.

After all, Zou Qiang was a rogue cultivator who was most likely training in a Mystic low-grade or middle-grade cultivation technique, while Su Dong belonged to a large family that was probably backed by Dao Kings. Even if his family didn\'t have a weak Saint low-grade cultivation technique to train in, they definitely had at least a handful of Mystic high-grade ones for him to choose from.

Just the difference in the purity of their qi was definitely going to be a huge factor for the fight, the same way it was for Shun Long and Su Bao.

If Shun Long\'s combat strength wasn\'t so abnormal and if he wasn\'t absorbing the purest qi possible from the \'Heaven Swallowing vine\', as well as naturally having such an extremely pure qi thanks to the \'Monarch\'s Hourglass\', he wouldn\'t have managed to break Su Bao\'s qi shield that easily and obliterate him with one strike.

Aside from that, it was obvious that Su Dong had been the hunter while Zou Qiang was the hunted. In a situation where Zou Qiang -who was obviously suited better to fight in close combat- simply tried to escape and save his life instead of fighting, the chances of him successfully escaping from Su Dong were nearly zero.

Instead, if he had tried to hold his ground, even if he hadn\'t won the fight, it would be possible for him to pressure Su Dong and perhaps make him give up if he felt that it wasn\'t worth it.

Unfortunately, Zou Qiang had already been too terrified of the Su family from the beginning that the thought of fighting didn\'t even cross his mind.

Having Shun Long being the scapegoat and fight against the members of the Su family while he tried to escape was already the best scenario possible.

Shaking his head, Shun Long placed everything that he had obtained inside the \'Stone of Time\' before he turned his attention towards Ying Gui.

Seeing that his feet were trembling in fear, Shun Long jumped on top of the first carriage and asked him seriously

\'\'Do you know how to handle the \'Ironhide cows\' or should I do it?\'\'

Naturally, Shun Long wouldn\'t look down on Ying Gui just because he was afraid. Although he was definitely foolish for meddling in a fight of 2 families that reached far beyond what he could normally handle, he was still a merchant in the end. If he didn\'t take any risks in his life, it would be impossible for him to expand his network of clients.

Ying Gui immediately woke up from his shock when he heard Shun Long\'s voice, and nodding his head he replied in a hurried manner

\'\'O-Of course!\'\'

There was no way that he was going to allow Shun Long to become his driver. In his eyes, Shun Long was already much more terrifying and worthy of respect than the members of the Su family!

After all, an early rank 3 Nascent Soul stage cultivator killing those experts from the Su family who had managed to chase away all of his guards was already unbelievable.

Although Ying Gui didn\'t know exactly how strong Su Bao and Su Dong were, just from the fact that they had managed to scare off not just all of his normal guards, but even Zou Qiang, his head of guards as well, Ying Gui guessed that they must have definitely been at least early rank 6 Nascent Soul stage cultivators. After all, even if there were 2 of them, if they were just 2 peak rank 5 Nascent Soul stage cultivators Zou Qiang wouldn\'t have been so afraid of them.

\'\'No, for that Su Dong to chase away Zou Qiang all by himself, his strength is probably even above the early rank 6 of the Nascent Soul!\'\'

At the same time that he came to this conclusion, Ying Gui also cursed Zou Qiang in his heart for abandoning him to save his own life.

If it wasn\'t for Shun Long who had stayed behind to protect him, it wouldn\'t have been Su Dong and Su Bao who had died today, but him.

As he touched the back of his neck, Ying Gui felt a cold shiver in his heart, as he hurriedly went forward and sat on the back of the biggest \'Ironhide cow\' in the lead, before he started to lead his 4 carriages deeper inside the \'Flame Lion canyon\'!
