Chapter 836: Killing Dong Cheng
When Shun Long\'s merciless voice that seemed to be lacking the slightest hint of emotion entered Dong Cheng\'s ears, Dong Cheng could feel his entire body suddenly turning cold before an uncontrollable sensation of terror filled his heart.
Shun Long could see the look of fear in Dong Cheng\'s eyes, but he didn\'t wait for him to beg or plead for his life, as he suddenly swung the black sword in his hands horizontally towards Dong Cheng\'s neck.
\'\'Pffft!\'\'
A spurt of blood filled the air in the next moment, as Dong Cheng\'s own head was separated from his body, before his lifeless corpse collapsed on the ground with a thud.
Neither Liu Mei, Xingyi, Jiang Chen, or Bai Longtian were surprised when they saw this, but Qiao Min who was still under the effects of the \'Monarch\'s Domain\' was staring at Shun Long with a look of incredulity in her eyes, as she was truly unable to believe the scene in front of her.
\'\'Shun Long, you... you really killed him? You actually killed Dong Cheng?\'\'
Even after seeing Dong Cheng\'s severed head that was now lying in a pool of blood on the ground, Qiao Min still questioned the reality that was unfolding in front of her own eyes.
An early rank 4 Dao King, a genius ranked 6th in the \'Martial Roll of Honor\' of the Holy sect and the heir of the Dong clan... Dong Cheng was actually killed by Shun Long, without the slightest ability to resist!?
Turning around, Shun Long stared at Qiao Min for a few moments in silence, before he eventually opened his mouth and said to her coldly
\'\'Why would I not kill him? Putting aside that we are not in the Holy sect right now, even if we were, do you really think that I would let go of someone who tried to take my life? Or should I just let him live because of his family?\'\'
Seeing the cold look in Shun Long\'s golden eyes, Qiao Min involuntarily shivered for a moment before she turned her gaze back towards Dong Cheng\'s corpse.
Even if she ignored Dong Cheng\'s own strength, just the implications of killing him were too complicated to bear even for someone like her, let alone Shun Long who didn\'t belong to any of the powerful families or clans.
After all, Dong Cheng\'s Dong clan was just slightly inferior to her own Qian clan and their influence within the Holy sect\'s territory was nothing to scoff at. Although they couldn\'t be compared to the truly powerful families and clans within the northern part of the central region like the Murong family, clans like the Dong clan were still quite influential within their own territories, and only had to bow their heads in the presence of late-stage Dao Emperors like the Grand Elder himself.
Additionally, Dong Cheng\'s father, the clan leader of the Dong clan was a powerful Dao Emperor as well, and there was no way he would possibly let Shun Long go once he learned of the death of his son.
And yet, Shun Long still killed Dong Cheng even though he was aware of his background, looking like he didn\'t care about it in the slightest.
However, this wasn\'t what had shocked Qiao Min the most, but the fact that Shun Long was actually strong enough to kill Dong Cheng like that, a feat that even she wouldn\'t be able to replicate.
Although Qiao Min was an early rank 5 Dao King and her strength was quite a bit higher than Dong Cheng\'s, Qiao Min herself wouldn\'t dare to claim that she could kill someone like Dong Cheng as effortlessly as Shun Long had just done.
After he stared at Qiao Min for a few more moments Shun Long deactivated his \'Monarch\'s Domain\', allowing the flow of time around the surrounding Dao Kings within a 300-meter radius of him to flow normally once again, before he started to walk towards Qiao Min\'s direction.
The moment that the effects of the \'Monarch\'s Domain\' disappeared, the disciples of the Holy sect that were prepared to watch the fight between Shun Long and Dong Cheng all stared at Dong Cheng\'s corpse with clear shock in their eyes, as none of them had any idea of what had just happened.
In fact, it wasn\'t just the disciples of the Holy sect who were surprised, as the surrounding Dao Kings who were also watching this scene with interest just now seemed to have been utterly flabbergasted as well.
\'\'What? What\'s going on? What happened?\'\'
\'\'Eh? Weren\'t those people from the Holy sect fighting just now? How did that guy die?\'\'
...
\'\'Shun Long! What did you do to Dong Cheng? Explain yourself right now!\'\' A tall young man with long black hair from the Holy sect\'s group suddenly shouted in a cold voice as he stared at Shun Long.
Quite a few disciples of the Holy sect turned their attention towards this person when they heard his furious voice, before their gazes soon moved towards Shun Long who was calmly walking towards Qiao Min\'s direction.
Every single disciple of the Holy sect was now staring at Shun Long with wariness and fear, since they would have to be stupid not to realize that he was the one who had taken Dong Cheng\'s life just now.
The most terrifying part however was that none of them knew what had happened, that scared these disciples even more.
And yet, Shun Long merely halted his steps for a brief moment as he turned to look at the 2 meters (6.5ft) tall young man who was staring at him with a murderous look in his eyes, before he continued to walk towards Qiao Min shortly after while completely ignoring him.
Once the long-haired young man saw that Shun Long actually ignored him and continued to walk towards Qiao Min\'s direction, a dense aura that was filled with killing intent immediately surrounded him, before the cultivation of a peak rank 4 Dao King burst out from his body like a dam!
It was obvious that this person was quite a few times stronger than Dong Cheng himself and he wasn\'t planning on backing off either!
At that moment however, just as the long-haired young man seemed like he was about to make a move, Qiao Min suddenly took a step forward and shouted in a commanding tone
\'\'Zhang Jing, step back! This is an order!\'\'
