As the dust began to dissipate, it appeared that Xu Meng was kneeling with one leg on a cradle by her sword, from her mouth dripping blood. He gritted his teeth feeling the pain in his chest due to the pressure of the sword energy from Shen Long.
Unlike Shen Long, he was still standing firmly on the arena grasping a sword with his right hand.
“Great, you lost half a step to me brother Xu” Shen Long comforted Xu Meng.
“It's not over yet, I still have something to beat you” Xu Meng said
“Alright, if you still have something. Let's get out” Shen Long said curiously.
Then Xu Meng took out a medicinal pill from behind his clothes then ate it and purified the medicine. Shen Long squinted his eyes at that.
“Daddy, what did that Xu Meng drink?” ask Dong Fang Yin
Dong Fang Lei himself was shocked, he did not know what medicine Xu Meng was taking.
“You're too rash” thought Xu Huang saw the incident.
King Liu squinted at the change in Xu Meng, he did not expect that Xu Meng would use medicine to boost his energy. General Liu and the Royal Priestess were also no less surprised by what Xu Meng had done.
“You use a drug like Xie Min. Looks like you have something to do with the events of the Soul Releasing sect” thought Shen Long saw Xu Meng's body change
Xu Meng's body underwent a change in energy that further strengthened to make it penetrate the peak stage God Kahyangan, only half a step through the Priestess realm.
“Today I will prove that I Xu Meng will not lose to you” Xu Meng said furiously.
“Where did you get such an illegal drug, Xu?” shouted the head of the Sacred Sword Sect. He had not expected Xu Meng, his disciple to use illicit drugs to fight Shen Long.
“Chairman, our sect forbids the use of illegal drugs. Why would Xu Meng be able to get it?” suhoor sect representative Shi Lang.
Xu Meng paid no heed to the shouts of his chairman and vice-chairman of the sect, in his eyes today he had to defeat Shen Long for the sake of his pride until he justified all means to it.
“I don't really want to use this medicine, but it's beyond your expectations that you've come this far” Xu Meng told Shen Long.
“By beating you I did this, I am ready to accept the consequences” he continued
“This time, I will make you kneel in front of me” shouted Xu Meng preparing to counterattack.
“I didn't expect you to be so vengeful towards me brother Xu” said Shen Long sadly preparing to receive an attack from Xu Meng.
The spectators who did not know about the forbidden medicine cheered again because they could watch another exciting match between the dominator sword users.
“What will you do against the power of this God realm pinnacle Shen?” thought the Holy Goddess saw the match.
The power of the peak stage Divine Kahyangan energy combined with the dominator sword energy was indeed terrifying the power exploded increasingly stronger attacking towards Shen Long.
“I myself am not necessarily winning against this power” thought General Liu
The other participants felt grateful not to meet such a terrifying Xu Meng. Their eyes looked towards Shen Long who was still standing calmly facing him.
“What are you doing Shen? Why are you still so relaxed?” said vice chairman Shi Lang worried
“Be careful Shen” shouts the anxious Dong Fang Yin.
“Cih, these two women of the Sacred Sword sect are really embarrassing, they are instead supporting the opponent” muttered the Holy Goddess sneering at them.
“I call this style Heaven Dragon Sword Spirit” said Shen Long already prepared.
The power of that energy form a shadow of a celestial sword entwined by nine dragons appeared above Shen Long's head.
The faces of the spectators were astonished by the move, its strength did not look so strong and exploded like Xu Meng's.
“Ah, the manager is ordinary, this time Shen Long must lose”
“True, Shen Long would have lost if he had no other moves”
“Hahaha. This time I will defeat you” shouted Xu Meng whose great power was already approaching Shen Long.
Hearing that, Shen Long only smiled then a simple gesture of him exerting his attack resisted the fierce attack from Xu Meng.
“Why is Shen Long's style so simple and of such ordinary strength?” king Liu said
“Your Majesty, it seems that he does not have another style, or this combined style is not perfect” said the Royal Priest
Even though everyone was underestimating Shen Long's stance yet he remained calm seeing his nurse's attack slashing towards Xu Meng. When something happens, something unexpected happens.
The shadow of the nine dragons entwined on the sword wriggled and roared then fused to attack towards Xu Mengs sword-style energy. Shen Long's power of action grew stronger and exploded as it clashed.
BUMM!
“Why am I still losing?” Xu Meng did not believe that
The dominator sword in his hand bounced off and Xu Meng floated down into the arena with a deeply wounded body. He tried to get up but could not, he just sprawled up looking up at the sky and saw Shen Long had been standing beside him.
“You lost because you couldn't control the dominator sword force you used” Shen Long said.
It was the last word he heard with eyes of disbelief and then fainted. Shen Long then picked up the dominator sword, then walked over and handed it to the head of the Sacred Sword sect.
“Sorry chairman, I defeated the representative of your sect” said Shen Long in honor of chairman Dong Fang Lei.
“No matter Shen, ever since Xu Meng used the forbidden medicine, he was no longer a member of the Sacred Sword Sect” firmly Dong Fang Lei took out his dominator sword then left the match stands.
“Shen, thank goodness you won” Dong Fang Yin said following the departure of the sect head along with Shi Lang.
The audience was still astonished, how such a simple gesture could win such a powerful stance. This was beyond the judgement of those martial artists.
“You have understood the meaning of the Shen” sword Yan Luo whispered.
“The simpler the sword stance makes the energy accumulate so that it does not explode and spread, but when directed at its energy target it will explode violently. You have exceeded my jurus” he continued proud
“You are really full of surprises Shen” smiles Holy Goddess
“Hahaha... very interesting match” King Liu laughed watching an unexpected match result.
The faces of the Royal Priest and General Liu shriveled at Shen's unexpected strength. So did the other three participants, who were seeded to advance to the semifinals now feel Shen Long will be an obstacle to this year's martial arts match.
The next match after Shen Long did not attract the attention of the audience, Shen Long's name became a dark horse in this year's royal martial arts match.
Finally 8 names have been determined to fight in the next round which will be held the next day.
