Warrior’s Promise

“Now that I’m part of Netherworld Devil Sect, why are you still out to kill me?” Su Mo said, his eyes narrowing. After he said he was willing to follow Huangfu Qing, he was naturally a part of Netherworld Devil Sect.

“Humph! You will still die today, whether or not you have pledged allegiance to us!” Xue Mo said coldly. His enmity with Su Mo ran so deep, there was no way he was about to spare Su Mo!

Su Mo might be Huangfu Qing’s disciple but Huangfu Qing’s standing within Netherworld Holy Sect was still lower than his father’s.

Therefore, even if he killed Su Mo, Huangfu Qing wouldn’t be able to do anything about it!

Furthermore, it remained to be seen if Su Mo’s life truly mattered to Huangfu Qing.

Xue Mo glanced at Jun Wuxi and Hua Suiyu and said, “I’ll spare both of you for Huangfu Qing’s sake. You may leave!”

Jun Wuxi and Hua Suiyu’s faces were pale for amongst the Cold-blood Hall disciples that surrounded them stood Xue Tianqiong, ranked 2nd on the List of Top 1,000 Talents, and Mo Qing, ranked 8th on the same List.

The chances of Su Mo escaping alive were close to none in the face of such power.

“Fifth Senior Brother, Seventh Senior Sister, please leave!” Su Mo said to the two of them.

Su Mo did not fear. Very few martial artists under Martial King Realm had the ability to kill him. No matter how strong Xue Tianqiong was, he would not find it easy killing him too.

“Eleventh Junior Brother!” concern was written all over Jun Wuxi and Hua Suiyu’s face. They did not make a move to leave.

“You won’t be of any help to me even if you stayed. Leave immediately!” Su Mo urged them. “Don’t worry, I’ll be able to escape!”

“Uh…!” Jun Wuxi and Hua Suiyu hesitated. They might not able to aid him, but neither were they comfortable leaving Su Mo in the lurch.

“Leave now!” Su Mo shouted sharply.

“Sigh!” Jun Wuxi and Hua Suiyu let out a sigh, then turned to leave. Perhaps Su Mo might really be able to escape after they left!

They didn’t go very far, quietly observing the situation from a distance of 500 kilometers.from

Xue Mo and Xue Tianqiong did not stop them. After they left, Xue Mo smirked and said, “Su Mo, do you really think you’d be able to leave this place alive?”

“You wouldn’t be able to kill me!” Su Mo said without a trace of fear.

“I know that you have a Spiritual Sword which enables you to travel at lightning speeds, but you’re up against Senior Brother Tianqiong, so you don’t stand a chance!” Xue Mo said disdainfully.

“Junior Brother Xue Mo, how do you wish him to die?” Xue Tianqiong asked calmly. He did not think Su Mo was a serious threat at all.

Su Mo’s earlier displays might have been impressive, but there was still a vast gap between them!

“Senior Brother Tianqiong, I do not want him to die immediately. First, maim his cultivation, then hand him over to me. I will torture him properly myself!” Xue Mo said sinisterly.

“Alright!” Xue Tianqiong nodded. He stared at Su Mo and said calmly, “Su Mo, are you going to maim your cultivation voluntarily? Or shall I do it for you?”

Su Mo was speechless. Voluntarily maim his cultivation voluntarily? Did they really think he was so dumb?

“Do you think I’d do it myself? You must be dumber than I thought!” Su Mo scoffed.

“You must be tired of living!” Xue Tianqiong’s eyes gleamed with killing desire. He waved his hand knife and slashed out at Su Mo.

“Ha Ha! Xue Mo, you wish to kill me but today, you’ll die first!” Su Mo suddenly burst out laughing. His Spiritual Sword appeared beneath his feet and he easily dodged Xue Tianqiong’s blow.

At the same time, he immediately activated his Devouring Martial Soul. Its powerful Devouring power enveloped everyone from Cold-blood Hall.

Its power did not really affect higher ranked top talents like Xue Tianqiong and Mo Qing, but Xue Mo and the weaker Cold-blood Hall disciples were not able to resist the pull of the devouring power.

At Peak Lv 9 Enlightenment Realm, Xue Mo was not even at True Darkness Realm yet. Under the influence of the devouring power, his body started to quickly shrivel up.

Ah! Ah! Ah!

Constant cries rang out. In a blink of an eye, over 30 people, including Xue Mo had been sucked dry. Their blood, martial souls and Qi were all sucked out from their bodies and they immediately turned into deadwood.

“No!” Xue Mo roared, his eyes full of fear and surprise. One breath later, his body fell lifelessly from the sky.

“What?” Xue Tianqiong and Mo Qing were completely stunned. Their eyes widened and their mouths gaped open, unable to figure out what had just happened. ”

What kind of ability was this? How did Su Mo manage to kill Xue Mo and the rest without even attacking?

“I’m done playing with you!” Su Mo laughed. He flew off on his Spiritual Sword and zoomed into the distance.

Su Mo knew it would be difficult to defeat Xue Tianqiong. Therefore, he fled immediately after killing Xue Mo.

“Su Mo, where do you think you’re going!” Xue Tianqiong and Mo Qing regained their senses and quickly chased after him.

Su Mo moved extremely quickly thanks to his Spiritual Sword and covered a distance of hundreds of kilometers in an instant. With the exception of Xue Tianqiong and Mo Qing, no one else was able to match his speed.

A short while later, Su Mo, Xue Tianqiong and Mo Qing all disappeared from view.

Jun Wuxi and Hua Suiyu were also struck dumb by what they have seen. They could have never imagined that Su Mo was this powerful, immediately fleeing after killing over 30 people!

“Fifth Senior Brother, do you think Eleventh Junior Brother will be able to successfully escape?” Hua Suiyu asked worriedly.

“I’m not sure, but Eleventh Junior Brother’s strength seems to be fathomless and he has an endless amount of hidden cards. He might just be able to escape!” Jun Wuxi sighed and shook his head.

Su Mo flew on his sword and darted across the clouds as he dashed away.

He was not headed back to Celestialspirit Sect, but instead flew aimlessly around, trying to get rid of the two on his tail.

Hundreds of kilometers later, he could still vaguely make out the figures of Xue Tianqiong and Mo Qing continuously tearing the Space apart in close pursuit.

They moved extremely quickly and were even slightly faster than Su Mo.

“Su Mo, you won’t be able to escape!” Xue Tianqiong shouted coldly.

Su Mo turned to look back and frowned as he saw them drawing closer.

“They are courting death!” Su Mo’s eyes hardened.

He thought for a moment and then with a flip of his hand, a few spirit fruits appeared. He immediately swallowed them all.

Su Mo had failed to breakthrough before the Talents’ Grand Gathering. Now, he started to attempt breaking past his bottleneck again.

Su Mo wasn’t certain if he could kill them both once he advanced to Lv 5 True Darkness Realm, but at least he would have the strength to pose a significant challenge.

If it was just Mo Qing, Su Mo would not be fleeing, but Xue Tianqiong was just too strong. Even if he used his Three Secret Techniques, he still might not be his match.

The spirit fruits turned into boundless Spiritual Qi the moment he swallowed them, which surged into Su Mo’s elixir field.

Boom! Boom!

His Spiritual Spirals started to swirl rapidly in his elixir field.

Su Mo continued to toss spirit fruits and herbs into his mouth, as if they were sweets.

Not only did Su Mo receive a generous amount of Spiritual Stones from his sojourn at Devilish Land, he had also obtained a large amount of spiritual herbs and treasures, enough to last him a long while.

Su Mo tried to attempt to break through to Lv 5 True Darkness Realm even as he surfed on his sword.
