Monarch Of Time-Novel

Chapter 711: Ambush

Shun Long could feel that he was traveling inside the space tear for more than an hour, covering an immense distance in the process, before his blurry surroundings finally started to turn clear.

The courtyard of the Grand Elder had completely vanished, as the disciples of the Holy sect found themselves in the midst of a huge forest, with massive trees that were towering in the skies being present everywhere around them.

As soon as it left the space tear, the 'Darkness Eagle' raised its head proudly towards the sky and let out a deafening screech, that completely terrified the surrounding magic beasts inside the forest.

The entire forest seemed to have fallen silent, as the aura of the early rank 7 'Darkness Eagle' made the magic beasts around it instantly shiver in fear.

However, this silence only lasted for a few moments, before another terrifying roar erupted from the depths of the forest in the next moment, as an aura that was even more powerful than that of the 'Darkness Eagle's' came along with it.

The Grand Elder's expression immediately changed when he sensed this overpowering aura, as a serious expression appeared on his face.

The 'Darkness Eagle' could feel that this aura was hundreds of times stronger than its own, causing its natural instincts to quickly kick in.

Flapping its wings, the 'Darkness Eagle' immediately took to the sky, transforming its body into a mass of darkness as it tried to leave the forest as quickly as possible!

Shun Long knew that this was the natural ability of the 'Darkness Eagle'.

It allowed the eagle to increase its defense and speed to the level of a middle rank 7 magic beast for a short duration of time.

As a magic beast, the 'Darkness Eagle's' senses far exceeded that of a human's.

It knew which enemies it could fight against, and it could clearly sense that the entity in the depths of this forest was extremely terrifying, and was far beyond the level of what it could handle.

However, the 'Darkness Eagle' had only managed to fly for a thousand meters in the sky, before a wind blade that was more than 100 meters long suddenly emerged from the depths of the forest, flying towards the eagle at an unbelievable speed.

The enormous wind blade managed to effortlessly chop all of the gigantic trees that blocked its way in half, as it appeared right behind the 'Darkness Eagle'.

The 'Darkness Eagle' screeched for the second time as it tried to increase its speed and get out of the range of this wind blade.

It could clearly feel the sensation of death that it hadn't felt for countless years boring down on its neck.

It wasn't just the 'Darkness Eagle' itself, but the outer court disciples and even the inner court disciples who were sitting on its back that could also feel this sensation.

At the same time, the look inside Shun Long's eyes turned serious as he prepared to summon Little Black from the 'Stone of Time', to take him, along with Liu Mei and the rest away from this place.

Shun Long could feel that the aura coming from this attack was so much stronger than the 'Darkness Eagle's', that it had probably even exceeded the standard of a middle rank 7 magic beast and had most likely reached the peak of rank 7, if not even the early rank 8!

This meant that this attack was equivalent to the full-powered blow of either a peak-stage Dao Emperor, or even a Sovereign realm expert's!

Even the pendant that Liu Mei had received from Elder Xuan most likely wouldn't be enough to protect her from such an attack.

At that moment however, the Grand Elder's body suddenly disappeared from Shun Long's side, appearing right behind the 'Darkness Eagle', and in front of the gigantic wind blade.

''GET LOST!''

The Grand Elder roared angrily, as he took out a small, wooden-like shield from his spatial ring and raised it in front of him.

The Grand Elder's shield looked old and damaged, but at that moment, the countless runes and patterns on the shield's surface lit up one after the other, before the terrifying aura of a peak rank 9 Dao Emperor erupted from the Grand Elder's body and entered the shield.

The wooden shield immediately expanded, covering an area of more than 100 meters that made it look like it could easily block the enormous wind blade.

Indeed, although the Grand Elder was pushed back for a few dozen steps, he had actually managed to block the 100-meter long wind blade!

And yet, just as the disciples and the few inner court Elders on the 'Darkness Eagle's' back were about to rejoice, expressions of terror covered their faces in the next moment.

Another wind blade that was similar to the first one appeared from the depths of the forest, heading towards the Darkness Eagle as well.

By now, the Darkness Eagle had already managed to cross a distance of more than 1000 miles and was close to the forest's exit, but it still wouldn't make it in time if it wanted to leave the forest.

The Grand Elder's face turned extremely serious, as he raised his shield with a grave expression and moved forward to block the second wind blade.

Although this shield in the Grand Elder's hands looked old and half-broken, it was actually the Grand Elder's strongest weapon, a 2-star shield.

2-star weapons could only be made by formation masters whose cultivation had reached the Sovereign realm, and their might was simply incomparable to 1-star weapons.

Infusing his qi inside his shield for the second time, the Grand Elder roared once again, as his shield collided with the gigantic wind blade.

Expressions of horror appeared on the faces of the disciples and even the inner court Elders who were sitting on the 'Darkness Eagle's' back when they saw the following scene. (f)ir(e).nᴇt

The projection of the Grand Elder's shield instantly shattered, as the Grand Elder was sent flying backward like a meteor, before the wind blade kept heading towards the 'Darkness Eagle'!

Shun Long saw that the eagle barely had enough time to turn its body to the side slightly, before the wind blade landed on its back, causing a fountain of blood to spurt through the air, as the enormous trees below it were dyed a bright crimson color.
