Warrior’s Promise

The roaring voice shook the earth and turned every inhabitant of the town pale.

 Su Mo raised his head to look. A powerful aura was emanating from a near distance, billowing like a fire beacon. It crept up a building and soared into the sky.

 Soon, a tall figure broke through the void and appeared.

 It was another old man, very tall and in a brocaderobe. His face was squarish and he looked most imposing.

 The old man stood in mid-air, staring down at the body of the brown-robed elder. A murderous grimace flashed across his face.

 Every martial artist of Town Tushan retreated backward upon seeing him. They did not dare to approach.

 The Master of the Tu Family was here!

 What followed would be a massacre!

 The experts of the Tu Family who had left earlier returned. They gathered outside from a distance, waiting for their Master to take revenge for the First Elder.

 “You killed him?” The elder in brocade robe stared down at Su Mo and asked solemnly.

 “Yes.” Su Mo looked straight into his eyes and nodded nonchalantly. No fear could be seen on his face.

 Not only had Su Mo not faltered, even the experts from the Firmament Palace had shown no fear.

 They were well aware of Su Mo’s strength. An ordinary expert in the Martial Emperor Realm could not really fight him.

 “Who are you people?” The elder in brocaderobe narrowed his eyes into a crease. Although his impulse to kill had been triggered, he still held himself back from a direct attack.

 None of these people with Su Mo had low cultivation. They were clearly not ordinary and might have strong backings. He must clarify their background first.

 “You don’t need to know who we are!”

 Su Mo shook his head and pointed at the body of the brown-robed elder. “We are erecting a new mansion. Please don’t disturb us. Otherwise, we will do the same to you!”

 “How presumptuous!”

 The elder in brocaderobe bellowed angrily. “Town Tushan is the territory of us, the Tus. Every family and sect here, big or small, must submit to us. Don’t you know that?”

 “No.” Su Mo shook his head but gave a faint smile of ridicule. So he thought that he was the king of the place? That every place here belonged to him?

 “To continue being so presumptuous, after killing my First Elder–you are courting death!” The elder in brocaderobe was utterly infuriated. He could not control himself and started to attack.

 “Go and die!” He roared and hit his palm downward. A palm print pressed down on Su Mo like a falling star.

 His palm strike was outrageously powerful. Its Dark Force fluctuations resembled the raging sea, terrifyingly turbulent.

 His palm strike was so powerful that it shocked everyone.

 “Not bad!” Su Mo was quite surprised. Although this man was another Lvl 1 Martial Emperor Realm martial artist, he was more than twice as powerful as Wu Sen, whom he had killed.

 “Go and die yourself!” Just when the palm was about to land, Su Mo waved his arm. Three-colored sword radiances soared up into the firmament.

 Pfft!

 Their sword radiances tore through space and through the palm print. Soon, they were slashing at the elder in brocaderobe.

 “What?” The elder in brocade robe was very shocked. He had not expected Su Mo to be so powerful.

 Even though Su Mo had killed his First Elder, he had not taken him too seriously.

 After all, he was ten times stronger than the First Elder.

 However, once Su Mo struck, he knew he was wrong–terribly wrong!

 The power of Su Mo’s sword caused his head to pound. His whole body seemed icy-cold.

 He could no longer duck. In that instant, a shield suddenly appeared in his hand.

 It was extremely large, yellowish-brown in color and over 3 meters high. It was a Medium Imperial weapon.

 Holding the shield in one hand, the elder in brocaderobe tried to block off the blow.

 The next moment, the piercing sword radiances had struck the shield mercilessly.

 Boom!

 A loud explosion shook the sky. Its power erupted like the raging waves.

 Poof!

 A blood arrow darted out from the elder’s mouth, soaring into the sky. Soon, the elder in brocaderobe was thrown up into the air like a soaring bird.

 The shield in his hand also flew out.

 Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

 The next moment, a thought flashed across Su Mo’s mind. Streaks of sword radiance soared out into the firmament–28 Natal Spiritual Swords speeding after the elder.

 Since he had already struck, he must kill this person.

 Blood gushed out from the elder’s mouth. The shield did manage to ward off some of Su Mo’s sword brilliances, but not all of their massive power.

 The power from the sword had shattered his arm, causing grave injuries to his internal organs.

 “How is it possible?” Terrified, the elder in brocaderobe bellowed. It was beyond belief!

 Now, he finally understood the man he had provoked.

 A cold, malicious air had engulfed him. 28 Spiritual Swords were hurtling after him to kill.

 “I’m in trouble!” Seeing this, he was half-dead with fight. He turned to flee.

 However, how could he match the speed of Su Mo’s Natal Spiritual Swords? They overtook him in an instant.

 Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

 Sword radiances sped after him to kill. His body was swiftly shredded into minced meat.

 Whoosh!

 A shadow streaked out from the minced meat, trying to escape.

 The shadow was a rock that was completely gray. It was quite obviously the Fighting Soul of the elder.

 His Fighting Soul had not dared to remain after its body’s destruction. It had tried to run away quickly, streaking away like lightning.

 “I’ve been waiting for you!” Su Mo gave a light chuckle. At once, he started to devour with his Devouring Martial Soul. The powerful devouring power enveloped the entire rock.

 As Su Mo’s Martial Soul rose in its cultivation, his control of the Martial Soul had become much more powerful.

 As his Martial Soul loomed, he could ease its power into one area more than into another. He could do this although he could not yet vary its precise strength into an area.

 In other words, Su Mo was now mobilizing his Devouring Martial Soul and the elder’s Fighting Soul could feel the devouring force very strongly. Everyone else could only feel it very weakly.

 Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

 The speed of the Martial Soul Rock had slackened after being enveloped by Su Mo’s devouring power. It was overwhelmed and started to struggle violently.

 Swoosh!!

 Su Mo soon soared into the sky and quickly flew close to the Martial Soul Rock. His strong devouring power engulfed it completely.

 It took just a single breath. The Martial Soul Stone had lasted just one breath before being devoured by Su Mo, disappearing into his body.

 A gigantic dark vortex suddenly appeared behind Su Mo, soaring upward and emanating a golden six-ringed halo.

 Finally, his Devouring Martial Soul had risen in cultivation again.

 It was now a Rank 6 Heaven Class Martial Soul!

 The last time when Su Mo devoured Wu Sen’s Cerberus Fighting Soul, his Martial Soul had not been promoted. This time, he was not disappointed.

 Almost immediately, Su Mo called back his Devouring Martial Soul.

 He put away his Natal Spiritual Sword and landed slowly.

 From his arrival until the moment when the elder’s Martial Soul was devoured, only three breaths had elapsed. The action had seemed much slower when put into words.

 The place was dead silent. Even the sound of a falling needle could be heard.

 All the martial artists of Town Tushan looked terrified. They stared at the gradually descending Su Mo.

 The top superior of Town Tushan, the Master of the Tu family, had been slain almost instantaneously by an expert in the Martial Emperor Realm!
