Warrior’s Promise

Liu Chuanqian did not take Hong Qingxuan seriously. Given his cultivation and strength, only martial artists as strong as the top 300 fighters on the List were worthy enough opponents.

Many people agreed with Liu Chuanqian’s words. Hong Qingxuan was neither well-known throughout East Continent, nor was she a top talent on the List of 1,000 Talents. There was no way she would be a match for Liu Chuanqian’s.

“Humph! You will know whether or not I’m a worthy opponent after we battle!” Hong Qingxuan said coldly. Liu Chuanqian’s condescending manner had angered her.

“Since you’re so stubborn, go ahead and make your move!”Liu Chuanqian said flatly. He had already tried warning her off, but since she wouldn’t listen, he could only prove their difference in strength by his actions.

Hong Qingxuan nodded. Suddenly, a teal long sword appeared in her hand.

She swung her arm and slashed out with the new weapon.

“Lotus Sword Song!”

The sword Qi transformed into a teal lotus that shot toward Liu Chuanqian.

The teal lotus was beautiful but was imbued with a mighty power.

Su Mo was stunned by Hong Qingxuan’s attack. When did she pick up such swordsmanship techniques?

It has been a while since he had last seen her battle, so he wasn’t aware that her arsenal carried such an attack.

Liu Chuanqian was first stunned, then shocked by Hong Qingxuan’s attack. His eyes grew large because he was so shocked that the power from her attack was almost on par with his!

“She had been keeping her true strength under wraps!” Liu Chuanqian was beginning to take her seriously. In response, a long sword appeared in his hand.

A large majority of the disciples from Stars Swordplay Sect were swordsmen. Only a handful did not follow the spirit of swordsmanship.

It was also worth mentioning that Wenren Tiandu, ranked first on the List, was not a swordsman, even though he too was a disciple of Stars Swordplay Sect.

Liu Chuanqian’s aura immediately changed the moment he held a long sword. His entire being resembled a treasure sword, sharp and piercing. His sword was shooting toward the heavens.

“Destroy!” he roared and slashed out.

A sharp and powerful milk-white sword Qi appeared and collided with the teal lotus.

Boom!

There was a loud explosion as the teal lotus was destroyed by his sword. The milk-white sword Qi lost some momentum but still continued its onward trajectory toward Hong Qingxuan.

Bang!

Hong Qingxuan destroyed the milk-white sword Qi with her sword.

“I admit that I might have belittled you earlier on, but you still stand no chance against me!” Liu Chuanqian roared and stabbed his sword straight at her.

Whew!

Tiny milk-white sword Qi tore through the air and shot at an unparalleled speed toward Hong Qingxuan,

Hong Qingxuan was slightly surprised. Due to their proximity, she had nowhere to escape to.

She hastily raised her sword to block the oncoming sword Qi.

Boom!

A loud explosion rippled across the surroundings. Hong Qingxuan felt a powerful force throw her back hundreds of meters, her Qi-blood thrown into disarray.

“Now!” Just then, Su Mo hurtled past the resulting aftermath of the explosion and his aura soared to its maximum point. The long sword in his hand that was made of Vital Spirit grew rapidly and instantly grew into a four-colored gigantic sword dozens of feet tall.

Hong Qingxuan frowned. It seemed like she would be doomed to lose this battle unless she used the Legacy obtained from Firmament Palace.

She had been too cocky!

The Lotus Sword Song was not the Legacy obtained from Firmament Palace, but a martial arts technique she had started learning recently. Although powerful perhaps now, she still had yet to fully master it.

When she saw that the sword Qi hurricane was about to reach her, she kept her long sword and teal Dark Force swirling around her.

“Ancient Evergreen!”

She pointed and a teal dark force burst forth from her finger, quickly forming a 33-meter long finger.

This large finger contained incredible amounts of wood property and was full of vitality. Its strength rippled through like a gushing river.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Violent explosions sounded as the two attacks met.

The powerful sword Qi hurricane immediately broke apart, and the giant teal finger pierced through the hurricane and headed straight for Liu Chuanqian.

“What?” Liu Chuanqian grew pale. He had not expected Hong Qingxuan to have such a powerful hidden card.

“Destroy!” he roared. With a flash of his sword, he hacked hard at the oncoming giant teal finger.

Boom!

The giant teal finger was split into pieces, but Liu Chuanqian was also knocked back thousands of meters.

The crowd was quietly stunned, not having expected the unknown Hong Qingxuan to be so powerful!

“She’s good! She truly possesses the strength of the top 300 on the List!”

“I think she is the disciple of the Fairy of the Ninth Heaven. She was indeed something else!”

“Liu Chuanqian wouldn’t have been so easily defeated either!”

The crowd engaged in lively discussions. The eyes of many talents also lit up.

For a woman so beautiful to possess such talent, she was truly a woman blessed by the gods.

Su Mo smiled. Hong Qingxuan was of the same cultivation as him, and although his strength far surpassed her, her strength was enough for her to be among the top 300 on the List.

Fairy of the Ninth Heavens, Qianxun Yue’s lips also curved into a smile. She was very satisfied with Hong Qingxuan’s performance.

Now that she had the upper hand, she quickly launched her next attack. A gigantic finger shot out like a column reaching for the heavens.

She continued to use her Ancient Evergreen move, not because she didn’t want to use other powerful techniques, but because she only knew this one move.

She might have obtained an Imperial level Legacy from the Firmament Palace, but there was only one move in that technique.

Su Mo was already aware of that and he had already made her a promise that once he became Martial King and returned to Firmament Palace, he would let her receive the Legacy of Evergreen Palace.

Liu Chuanqian was no weakling either and managed to hold his own against Hong Qingxuan’s powerful attack.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Explosions sounded constantly. Liu Chuanqian unleashed his ultimate strength in the face of Hong Qingxuan’s ferocious attacks.

Every sword he sent out was as powerful as it could be, with its mighty sword strength that tore apart the heavens and the earth. Yet, he was still unable to turn the tide, and he continued to be knocked back by the giant teal finger.

It was now obvious that Hong Qingxuan was bound to win this!

Unless Liu Chuanqian had a powerful hidden card, he would definitely lose this battle!

To no one’s surprise, Liu Chuanqian was knocked out of the battlefield after they exchanged over a hundred blows.

Finally, Liu Chuanqian voluntarily admitted defeat.

“You win!”

Hong Qingxuan returned to her pavilion with a smile after defeating Liu Chuanqian.

Next, the battles continued and many top 300 talents on the List stepped forward.

The battles became more and more intense.

After a few more battles, Su Mo, who had been sitting calmly at his pavilion, received another challenge!

Swoosh!

A figure shot out like lightning and landed in the square.

Thunder Mountain’s top talent, Lei Peng, was up next!

“Su Mo, do you dare accept my challenge?” said Lei Peng coldly, staring at Su Mo.
