Warrior’s Promise

The petals falling from the sky were extremely beautiful, yet they contained a strong attacking power.

Bong! Bong! Bong!

Nie Chong’s fists danced, and his overbearing fist force shattered all of the petals.

“Devastating Red Lotus!”

The ninth princess’ slender white hand waved, and another burst of flower petals drifted down from the sky, quickly combining together to form a huge pale red lotus.

The pale red lotus looked noble and holy, but it also contained a strong destructive aura.

Swish!

The pale red lotus bloomed and crashed into Nie Chong as fast as lightning.

Nie Chong saw the pale red lotus rushing toward him and grew grave. He felt the terror of the lotus flower.

“World-conquering Fist, give me power!”

Nie Chong yelled and his body started shining with light. His fist force was as strong as iron, roaring as it swung out. The strength of his Genuine Vitality matched the power of his fist, and it flew directly at the pale red lotus.

Boom!

A huge explosion sounded in the sky, and the pale red lotus burst through. The lotus flower contained enough power to send Nie Chong flying a few hundred meters back.

The audience was shocked and surprised by the ninth princess’s move!

In the previous match between the ninth princess and Huo Ling, she had not used this move at all. Could it be that the ninth princess was hiding her strength?

Whoosh!

The ninth princess moved like lightning; lifting both hands, two petals of the Devasting Red Lotus appeared again, attacking Nie Chong from left and right.

Nie Chong grew pale as the pale red lotus attacked with great strength. He was unable to compete with one flower, let alone two.

Whoosh!

Nie Chong did not hesitate at all and flew up into the sky to quickly avoid it.

However, when Nie Chong rushed up into the sky, the two Devastating Red Lotuses changed their direction and continued to chase him.

“What?”

Nie Chong’s expression changed. This horrifying pale red lotus was actually following him and would not let go of him.

Swish!

The two Devastating Red Lotuses were extremely fast and sped towards Nie Chong.

“Burst!”

Nie Chong gritted his teeth and once again cast the World-conquering Fist. Both fists were like dragons coming out of the sea, flying straight toward the two Devastating Red Lotuses.

Boom! Boom!

The explosion was deafening, Nie Chong was unable to block the attacks of the two Devastating Red Lotuses; his body went into shock, spurting out a burst of blood from his mouth, and his body flew back under the fighting ring.

Falling under the fighting ring meant that he had lost.

The ninth princess had won!

Under the fighting ring, Nie Chong looked unpleasant. Losing to the ninth princess was both expected and unexpected.

He expected that he was not likely to defeat the ninth princess because the ninth princess had the Teal Lotus Shield; the defense of which was so strong that even Huo Ling was unable to break it.

However, he had expected the ninth princess not to rely on her strong defence to win, but instead not on her strong attack.

In the fighting ring, the ninth princess devoured Nie Chong portion of the Dragon Luck and turned to Su Mo.

Her eyes were clear, with a hint of provocation and clearly asserting that she was the strongest dark horse.

Su Mo was slightly surprised and shook his head with a wry smile. The ninth princess actually wanted to compete with him!

Immediately, the ninth princess returned to the spectators stand.

From the spectators stand, the imperial family of the Great Hong Empire was smiling; very satisfied with the performance of the ninth princess.

“Ninth Sister, with your current strength, there should be no other opponents. Even Wu Sheng might not be your opponent. Are you confident in defeating Ao Wushuang and winning first place?” Hong Qingtian asked.

Hong Qingtian knew that his Ninth Sister had extremely demonic talent and that her combat strength was unbelievable, but he was unsure if she was on par with Ao Wushuang.

The most important thing was that his Ninth Sister was still too young and had yet to grow enough, so her cultivation was only Peak Lv 3 True Spirit Realm, lower than Ao Wushuang’s by two levels.

Ao Wushang was the king of youth of the Hong Domain, and could easily overpower anyone with Lv 3 cultivation. If the ninth princess was proud and wanted to challenge Ao Wushang, she would definitely need a strength that was higher than Lv 5.

A fight higher than Lv 5? Was it possible?

Even knowing that his Ninth Sister came from the largest Dark Domain in East Continent, and even knowing that Ninth Sister was considered a top-tier genius in the Dark Domain, Hong Qingtian still did not belive that she would be able to contend in a Lv 5 fight.

He had never heard of anyone who could do this in all his years.

Even outstanding performers of the List of Top 1,000 Talents in East Continent would not be able to fight those at five levels higher.

The ninth princess shook her head and responded in a low deep voice, “I am not confident. Ao Wushuang’s strength can probably beat my Teal Lotus Shield!”

Hong Qingtian nodded and said, “If you are unable to beat Ao Wushuang, it is not a big deal. Ninth Sister is still young, so it is just a matter of time before you will overtake Ao Wushuang!”

“Alright!”

The ninth princess nodded, looked at Su Mo who was on the opposite spectator stand, and said, “However, defeating this fellow should not be a problem. He has been so cruel, cutting off the limbs of others and even asking others to kneel to him. I will definitely teach him a good lesson later!”

Uh!

Hong Qingtian heard this, gave a wry smile and said, “There seemed to be a great feud in between them, so killing the other was normal!”

The ninth princess cleared her throat and said, “Even if you want to kill someone, there is no need to cut off their four limbs and resort to such cruel measures!”

“This…!”

Hong Qingtian was speechless and could only smile bitterly and shake his head.

His Ninth Sister was still young and immature. She had never gone through blood training, so there is still a kind heart to her.

In this world, kindness to your enemy was cruelty to oneself.

So what he cut off his four limbs?

Some martial artists would dig out the heart and lungs of their enemies, and eat their brain pulp together with beer, which was still common.

As the two were talking, another fight was beginning in the Central Fighting Ring .

It was Ao Wushuang against Huo Ling.

Huo Ling had been previously injured, so when he stepped off the ring he took a healing elixir, and within a short period of time, he was not able to recover to his peak status, but he was able to recover 99%.

“Huo Ling, you disappointed me!” Ao Wushuang held his hands together, shook his head and said, “You were beaten by the ninth princess and Su Mo back to back. Since you have already lost two matches, it’ll be hard for you to get into the top three!”

Looking across at Huo Ling, Ao Wushuang shook his head and at that moment, Huo Ling did not have the same spirit that he had before. Before the big match, Huo Ling was filled with arrogance and a boundless, invincible spirit.

Now, his confidence was completely destroyed after the two defeats. The spirit that he had before had long disappeared.

One could not underestimate the power of his spirit. Someone who possessed this kind of spirit could only bravely advance forward and not turn back.

This was the heart of a genius martial artist, and it could be said about Huo Ling now. His martial arts heart had been broken, so his strength dropped by two parts.

“Ao Wushuang, let me see how much you have improved!” Huo Ling frowned and said.

“So powerful that you cannot bear it!”

Ao Wushuang smiled and immediately extended his right hand from behind his back.
