''Fu Peizhi threw his daggers in the air?''

''What is he doing? Is he giving up the fight?''

When another disciple heard the confused disciples around him, he laughed as he said

''Just watch! This is how senior brother Fu fights.''

Seeing the 2 daggers that were flying at him, Shun Long's eyes immediately turned golden as he activated the 'Monarch's Hourglass, and unleashed his aura at the middle of rank 4 earth grade.

His golden eyes shone as he moved to the side and easily dodged the 2 daggers that flew past him, causing Fu Peizhi to smirk.

Shun Long had barely regained his footing, when his golden eyes once again lit up as he saw the 2 daggers changing their course mid-air, aiming to stab his back.

The crowd held their breaths as they saw the 2 daggers flying at Shun Long from his blind spot.

Without a moment to think, Shun Long's feet kicked the ground as he moved a few meters backwards, narrowly avoiding the 2 daggers that plunged themselves into the ground.

''What? Did I see that correctly?''

''Did senior brother Fu's dagger change direction mid-air? How is this possible?''

''Don't tell me that Fu Peizhi has already touched upon the Dao of Wind!''

''Senior brother what is the Dao of Wind?''

That disciple however, didn't respond as he stared in shock at Fu Peizhi.

Both Shun Long and Fu Peizhi were also shocked by each other for 2 different reasons.

Fu Peizhi was certain that, Shun Long didn't know about his ability to manipulate his flying daggers mid-air, or he would have avoided them much earlier.

Shun Long however was just as shocked when he understood what Fu Peizhi was doing.

''He is simply at the middle of rank 9 in earth grade and has already touched upon the Dao of Wind!''

Normally, cultivators below the Heaven grade, couldn't control the qi outside of their bodies to fly, or use long-range qi attacks without the help of martial skills.

However, when cultivators reached the peak of rank 9 in earth grade, they could start comprehending a Dao that they had an affinity with.

The Dao that a cultivator comprehended, would then become the most important part of their strength.

This was the main reason why no earth grade cultivators could ever compete with Heaven grade experts. After all, Heaven grade experts had already comprehended the initial stages of their Dao, while people like Fu Peizhi had just touched upon the most basic principles of it.

Although Fu Peizhi was inwardly astonished when Shun Long dodged his attack, he quickly recomposed himself and smiled sinisterly before he said

''Do you finally understand why I told you, that you and I are not on the same level? I am a genius who has already touched upon the Dao of Wind! You have no right to even stand on the same stage with me!''

As Fu Peizhi then finished speaking, his 2 black daggers started spinning in the air as they once again flew towards Shun Long, at a speed much faster than before.

When Shun Long saw the 2 daggers flying towards him again, he didn't hold back any longer as he activated his 'Monarch's Domain'.

The 2 daggers that were powered up by Fu Peizhi's Wind Dao, were slowed down dramatically as they entered inside the 'Monarch's Domain', until they came to a complete halt in mid-air.

Although the difference in cultivation between Shun Long and Fu Peizhi was too big to directly affect him with the 'Monarch's Domain', Shun Long's power and cultivation base were still more than sufficient to stop the 2 small daggers in the air.

After all, although Shun Long hadn't comprehended a Dao, his affinity with the Dao of Time, had already reached a level far beyond Fu Peizhi's and his Dao of Wind.

Fu Peizhi was shocked when he found out that he couldn't move his daggers anymore, no matter what he did.

Without a weapon in his hand, he now found himself stuck in a bad position against a body refiner like Shun Long.

After all, these 2 black daggers were Fu Peizhi's main way of combat.

Even when he lost against much stronger opponents than him in the past, no one had managed to completely stop his daggers like that.

When the disciples in the crowd saw Fu Peizhi's daggers frozen in mid-air, they were all stunned by this

''What happened? Why did the daggers suddenly stop moving?''

''Did Shun Long do something to senior brother Fu?''

It wasn't just the disciples in the crowd that were shocked, even Fu Peizhi had started to panic as he looked at Shun Long and asked nervously

''You! What did you do to my daggers?''

Even Shun Long hadn't expected that his 'Monarch's Domain' would completely suppress Fu Peizhi's daggers that were powered by his Dao of Wind.

Looking at the panicked Fu Peizhi who was now like a toothless tiger, Shun Long quickly arrived in front of him and gathering all of his strength and qi in his right arm, he sent a full-powered punch at Fu Peizhi's chest.

After seeing this, Fu Peizhi broke out in cold sweat as he barely managed to raise his arms in front of him and defend against Shun Long's attack.

However, contrary to what everyone expected, Fu Peizhi's defense was as thin as paper in front of Shun Long's powerful punch.

Crack

The moment that Shun Long's punch hit him, Fu Peizhi felt the bones in his arms along with his chest caving in, as his body violently slammed into the ground.

A huge wave of dust swept by, completely covering the result of the fight.

Everyone in the arena waited with bated breaths, and as the cloud of dust slowly dispersed, the crowd saw Shun Long standing on his feet, as he stared at the now unconscious Fu Peizhi on the ground.

Shun Long's 'sect identifying jade' lit up, as 2 numbers appeared on it.

'17'

The crowd immediately erupted in cheers while the same question was in everyone's mind

''He beat Fu Peizhi with one punch?''
