Warrior’s Promise

Everyone stared wide-eyed at Su Mo. Su Mo’s strength was simply too high.

That massive wave of sword force and that heaven shaking Sword Qi were clear evidence of Su Mo’s godly powers.

With the Sword Qi rain about to fall upon him, Jia Yan couldn’t dodge in time and he immediately tried to give his all to block the attack.

His two hands gestured and the ten green vines immediately returned back to him. Then, the green vines moved into a formation that surrounded Jia Yan in all four corners, daring something to touch Jia Yan.

At the same time, Dark Fore surged out of Jia Yan and formed a thick layer of Dark Force protective array.

In the next instant, the Sword Qi rained down heavily, submerging Jia Yan within it.

Ah!

A piercing scream filled the air as the Dark Force protective array and the green vines around Jia Yan crumbled under the Sword Qi attack and shattered into bits over the four corners.

Jia Yan’s body was like a torn sack of cloth as it was flung helplessly backward. A stream of flesh blood followed the arc of his body, staining the starry sky a blood red color.

Everyone was thunderstruck by what they saw. Jia Yan wouldn’t die with this strike right?

Su Mo’s was also startled as he had not expected that Jia Yan’s defensive strength would be so weak. It would be a hassle if he accidentally killed Jia Yan here.

Jia Yan body flew a few kilometers away before it finally came to a stop.

His appearance was even more pitiful compared to Fu Tong. Sword wounds stretched across his entire body as blood poured out of them unstoppably. It was a lucky thing that his life wasn’t in danger.

Seeing this, Su Mo heaved a sigh of relief. It was great that Jia Yan hadn’t died.

“Admit your defeat! You are not a match for me!” Su Mo stared at Jia Yan and called out loudly.

The exhausted Jia Yan wore a stone-hard expression on his face. Yet, once he heard Su Mo’s words, his face twisted uncontrollably.

Admit defeat?

How was that possible?

As a Rank 2 Martial Honorable, how could he admit defeat to a Martial Emperor. That would be too shameful, wouldn’t it?

However, Jia Yan also knew that his strength was way below Su Mo’s. It was almost an impossible task for him to defeat Su Mo.

“Su Mo, I will attack once more. If you can block this attack, then we will take it as you having won!”

A few moments later, Jia Yan hardened his face and shouted. The reason why he did this was because he wanted to create a step for him to finish the fight with Su Mo. With a final attack, he wouldn’t be disgracefully losing.

“Alright, then attack me!” Su Mo fearlessly said with confidence.

Jia Yan nodded his head as a invisible shadow rose from his back. He had released his Fighting Soul.

Jia Yan’s Fighting Soul was a green vine. Like a long, green-colored snake, it was a few dozen feet long and it continued to sway in the air.

Su Mo was taken aback by what he saw, not because this Fighting Soul was special but because this Fighting Soul was very similar to the Fighting Soul that he had given Qing Ya.

Back when he had merged Fighting Souls for Xi’er, Jiang Fengran and the group of them, he had given Qing Ya a type of Green Vine Fighting Soul that was very similar to the Fighting Soul Jia Yan possessed.

Woosh woosh~~

Right at that moment, dazzling green light burst out of Jia Yan’s body and shot up to the sky. Instantly, the light merged together to become an enormous green vine.

A green vine made of Dark Force, absorbed the Fighting Soul’s power and became bigger and bigger, as it swayed in the wind.

In the blink of an eye, it had became a ginormous vine that seemed to have reached the heavens.

Then, the green vine wavered, and swept through the air as it heavily struck at Su Mo.

Boom boom boom!!

Terrifying forces from the massive vine split the air open and caused booming sounds to explode out.

The vine swept away everything in its path and, like a large heavenly pillar, it shook the entire sky.

“Not bad!” Su Mo’s eyes flashed. This attack justified Jia Yan’s Rank 2 Martial Emperor cultivation. However, it was just that.

“Break!”

Su Mo lightly yelled out as he raised the stone sword in his hand up high. A powerful sword force flowed through his hand into the sword and shot up a kilometer high into the air.

Then, Su Mo gripped the sword tightly in his hands and sliced down, hard.

Shoosh!

A colossal amount of three colored Sword Qi that seemed to be like a divine sword cutting through the earth exploded out from the strike. The radiance of the attack blinded the onlookers.

Boom!

The Sword Qi heavily struck against the green vine, instantly slicing it apart. With that, a tsunami of green colored aura rolled out from the impact and flooded the sky.

Jia Yan’s face turned pale upon seeing it. He had already used the purest force of his Fighting Soul for this attack. Even to the extent that he had almost merged his Fighting Soul directly into the attack. He had not expected it to be so easily shattered.

“You have lost!” Su Mo nonchalantly informed Jia Yan.

“This is for you!”

Jia Yan retrieved his Fighting Soul and threw his hands forward. A storage ring flew towards Su Mo.

With that, he turned around and returned to the True Path Sect.

He was too ashamed to remain there after losing so badly.

Su Mo grabbed the storage ring with his hands and casually checked through it. He grinned immediately.

The storage ring contained exactly 500 Middle Spiritual Crystals, no less and no more.

Laughing to himself, Su Mo thought that this method of earning Spiritual Crystals was very effective. It would be for the best if a few more people would come and challenge him.

“Does anyone still want to challenge me?” Su Mo looked at the onlookers and shouted.

Yet, everyone was silent as they blankly stared at Su Mo. It was at that moment that the crowd truly felt that Su Mo was terrifying.

Easily beating a Rank 2 Martial Honorable with a Rank 9 Martial Emperor cultivation. Such a scenario had never been heard of, ever!

In the Martial Honorable Realm, every difference in rank was a vast difference in strength. Typical geniuses would be considered incredible just for beating someone a rank higher than himself.

However, Su Mo was just a Martial Emperor. It was hard to believe that something like that had just happened.

Even Feng Guang was stunned. How did Su Mo train to obtain such strength?

“Is there anyone else who wants to challenge me? Five hundred Spiritual Crystals is the bet. Don’t miss this chance!” Su Mo saw that no one was stepping up and hence he shouted out again.

Many Martial Honorable Realm disciples had their faces turn dark. They were actually interested in a battle.

However, after witnessing Su Mo’s strength, they resolved the battling desire in their hearts. It was simply impossible for them to win against Su Mo.

Su Mo really was a godly genius. As expected of someone who went against the norm and became a pro-disciple, Su Mo really was strong.

“No one up for a challenge?” Looking at how no one was responding to him, Su Mo furrowed his brows in disappointment.

Yet, he wasn’t anxious. There weren’t many Martial Honorable Realm disciples at the scene after all. There were still many others who had yet to arrive. As long as he continued waiting, there would definitely be someone who would want to challenge him.

Scanning through the faces at the scene, Su Mo’s eyes fell on Feng Guang and an idea immediately popped through his head.

“Elder Feng!” Su Mo cupped his fists towards Feng Guang.

“He he! Su Mo, congratulations on your advancement to the next rank!”

Feng Guang smiled brightly while he was actually envious in his heart. Su Mo was just a Rank 8 Martial Emperor the previous day. But he had actually broke through to the Rank 9 Martial Emperor Realm in a single day, such advancement speed was too high!

“Elder Feng, I need your help. Are you willing to land me a hand?” Su Mo asked in a serious tone.

“What do you need help with?” Feng Guang wore a confused expression on his face.

“You are probably familiar with some Martial Honorable disciples, right? Can you help me inform them that they have an opportunity to become a pro-disciple? Tell them that as long as they defeat me, they can become a pro-disciple. I will be waiting here for their challenge!” Su Mo solemnly said.

Feng Guang’s face immediately twisted as a thousand curses flew through his mind. He was utterly speechless.
