Warrior’s Promise

Wu Ma’s eyes widened in shock and he refused to believe what had happened. Wu You Lan was dead? How could this be? He and You Lan had been in love for so many years; they were each other’s destined half. Yet, now, You Lan had actually died!

Upon seeing the deathly expression on Wu Ma’s face, Su Mo couldn’t help but sigh in his heart. He did not have any vengeance towards Wu Ma and Wu You Lan, in fact he was pretty fond of the two of them. Top talents, special body constitutions, good looks; they were destined for each other. It was a pity that they were from the Sorcerer Tribe that he hated so much!

The Sorcerer Tribe and Su Mo were sworn enemies, their hatred for each other ran as deep as the oceans and high above mountains. It was simply not a matter that could be understood through plain logic. Between both parties, they were arch enemies from the start.

At this moment, his eyes reddened and swollen, Wu Ma suddenly turned his head sharply and glared at Su Mo. A murderous rage flashed in his eyes.

“Go die!” Wu Ma yelled out. His voice was cold and unfeeling.

“Wu Ma, we were destined to be enemies, blame yourself for being born in the Sorcerer Tribe!” Su Mo’s face turned serious as he continued, “I respect you for being a genius and I will give you a fast and painless death!”

With that, Su Mo slowly strode towards Wu Ma. Every step he took was a thousand feet and the sword radiance in his hand dazzled brightly.

“I have an ultimate skill that I have never used before. If you can block it, you can leave. Otherwise, we will die together!” Wu Ma threatened coldly. Then, he rose up and burned brightly with a dense, green flame. This flame did not have any heat to it, as it was not fire-based, but a life-force flame. As the flame grew, Wu Ma’s entire body was engulfed in a green ball.

Then, a large, white coloured hand rose from within the flames as though it was a giant’s hand full of power. The green flames wrapped around the dense palm. Following which, the white palm rapidly exploded to the size of a mountain. A terrifying aura surrounded it as though an elite martial artist had descended upon the earth.

“This…?” Su Mo eyes immediately widened in surprise as his face turned slightly dark.

This white giant hand was Wu Ma’s Fighting Soul: God’s Hand. Wu Ma was sacrificing his life as he allowed his Fighting Soul to execute its greatest attack.

Boom!

In the next moment, the large mountain-sized, white palm tore open the space around it as it struck heavily down at Su Mo.

Boom boom boom!!

This attack was very powerful, the threat of the giant hand soared as though it had a Fighting Soul’s full strength. With the attack, the space around it could not even withstand the force and a deafening explosion sounded. Vicious winds swept the area, the grounds shook violently, and the skies turned black. With the terrifying white hand, everything seemed to turn completely into hell, a scene of true devastation.

“So strong?” Su Mo’s heart jumped. This attack was definitely powerful and it made him slightly nervous. However, his own strength was also extremely high, so he was not too fearful.

In the blink of an eye, Su Mo activated his Devouring Fighting Soul and the ten Sword Fighting Souls to their maximum. Sword force once again rose from him and soared towards the sky.

“Destroy!”

Su Mo yelled loudly and mobilized all the Dark Force in his body to slice violently with his sword.

Swoosh!

Ten thousand streaks of Sword Qi rose up and covered the vast sky before it moved towards the God’s Hand. The force of the collision between the Sword Qi and the Hand swept the entire as a terrifying aura rushed through the nine heavens and ten grounds.

Boom!

With a deafening sound the Sword Qi and the white giant hand collided against each other. Everything around the area within a kilometer shook. On the grounds below, after the smoke dissipated and the haze spread out, a wide crater had formed.

Boom boom boom!!

Loud explosions continued to sound as though thunder was striking unstoppably in a thunderstorm. Sword Qi rapidly crumbled and turned into streaks of sword radiance that rained down and spread out in all directions. As for the white giant hand, its force was terrifying. It had sliced the Sword Qi in half and seemed to be unaffected at all. The white hand retained its original power as it tore apart the skies and instantly attacked Su Mo.

“Not good!” Su Mo’s heart jumped, he had not imagined that this would happen. He may have underestimated Wu Ma’s sacrificial attack. With the palm right about to hit him, Su Mo had no time to counterattack. In an instant, he activated Wu Tian Yu’s Hurricane Fighting Soul.

A terrifyingly strong wind exploded from his body and swept outwards. While it was forming, the white giant hand violently struck on the hurricane.

Boom!

Another explosion and the hurricane was instantly torn apart by the strong force of the palm. As for the white giant hand, it had finally reached the maximum of its power and began to crumble apart into numerous streaks of force.

Swoosh~~

Su Mo’s heaved as his body was thrown back a few hundred meters by the menacing force. A short while later, he steadied himself and felt as though everything in his body was on fire. The Dark Force in him circulated violently and he felt as though he had suffered a heavy internal injury from the attack.

“What a scary attack!” Su Mo thought to himself. If not for his many Fighting Souls, he could have been seriously injured. However, he quickly regained his composure. Since the giant palm had crumbled, all the remaining streaks of force had devoured. Yet, Su Mo could not feel any sign of lifeblood. This meant that Wu Ma’s lifeblood had been completely destroyed.

“Huh!” Su Mo sighed heavily and shook his head helplessly. He wouldn’t be able to obtain Wu Ma’s Elemental Spirit Body. However, he did obtain Wu You Lan’s Colored Glaze Jade Body. He had completely devoured her body constitution after he killed her, including her lifeblood.

The battle had ended, Wu Ma was certainly dead, and Su Mo did not dare to stay at the scene any longer. He immediately flew into the air and called upon Nie Qian and Han Ying to leave Heavenly Underworld Star.

Quickly, the three met up and headed straight for the nearest Teleportation Formation.

…

Up in the skies.

Wu Chen, together with five other Sorcerer Tribe geniuses, followed the evidence of a fight on the ground and flew towards the north. He purposely slowed himself down as he ordered the men to carefully check through their surroundings. After a short period of time, the six of them had flown a few kilometers when the trace suddenly disappeared.

“Carefully check the surroundings!” Wu Chen ordered his men.

Under his command, the five underlings immediately lowered themselves and checked the area. However, they found nothing and the traces had disappeared: they had no idea where their culprit went.

“Young Priest Wu Chen, there are no more leads. Let us return and meet up with Brother Wu Ma and the rest!” a few Sorcerer Tribe geniuses suggested.

“Mmph! Let’s return!” Wu Chen nodded his head, a sinister satisfaction appearing in his mind. He knew that his real body, Su Mo, had finished the battle and was on his way away from Heavenly Underworld Star.

Not long after, the few of them arrived back at the meeting place in the small town. After waiting a long time, they failed to see the other team. All of the geniuses were very anxious.

“Young Priest Wu Chen, let’s go and find the other team! We can’t wait here and not do anything!” one of the geniuses suggested.

“What are you anxious about? If they did find any lead, they will come and meet up with us!” Wu Chen dismissed him and did not seem anxious at all. Then, he ordered the geniuses to continue waiting in the small town.

This wait continued for another two days. Finally, the five geniuses could not wait any further and they took turns suggesting to Wu Chen that they go and find the other team.

“Alright! Lets go!” Wu Chen nodded his head in agreement, since he knew that his real body had already entered the Teleportation Formation and left Heavenly Underworld Star.

The team arrived at the scene of battle between Su Mo, Wu Ma, and Wu You Lan. As they saw the destruction before them, the five geniuses stared with their mouths wide open.

“What happened?”

“This place seems to have the aura of Brother Wu Ma and Sister You Lan!”

“Did they battle with someone?”

“Where are they?”

The five geniuses were utterly confused and they quickly surveyed their surroundings, but failed to find a single soul.

“The few of you come over here, I have something to tell you guys!” Wu Chen’s face was calm as he gestured for the geniuses to join him. The geniuses quickly obeyed and flew to him, their faces confused.

At that moment, Wu Chen laughed and took out a dark object from his storage ring. It was the Young Priest badge.

“Grand Priest, this is what you gave me!” Wu Chen laughed at the badge and, suddenly, Ghost Qi rose from his body. A murderous aura surrounded him before he, and the geniuses around him, were engulfed in an enormous explosion.
