Warrior’s Promise

Su Mo was extremely fast. He got out of Cold Yin City within several breaths. However, the faster he went, the more attention he grabbed.

“Who is that?”

“Stop him!”

“He’s fleeing!”

Many members of the Netherworld Devil Sect noticed Su Mo in retreat. Hundreds of mighty fighters gave chase at once.

However, Su Mo was too fast to be caught up with. He took out a Natal Spiritual Sword and drove it to further speed up his escape.

“It’s Su Mo!”

“A Spiritual Sword! He must be Su Mo!”

The use of his Spiritual Sword immediately revealed his true identity.

Almost everyone of the Netherworld Devil Sect knew that Su Mo had a Natal Spiritual Sword, which he loved to ride on.

“Catch Su Mo!”

“Kill him!”

The entire Cold Yin City was boiling. “It’s Su Mo?” “Su Mo is in Cold Yin City?”

Big deal!

Instantly, countless martial artists from Cold Yin City hurried after Su Mo. There were a lot of them, mighty and overwhelming.

Su Mo looked back with a cold sneer at these people’s attempt to catch him.

Within a few breaths, Su Mo was over ten thousand li away from Cold Yin City.

Abruptly, a huge black phantom claw shot out of Cold Yin City.

This phantom claw was one hundred zhang long, pitch black, gloomy with intense Yin Qi.

The black phantom claw shot to the sky from Cold Yin City, crushed the void, shuttled through nothingness, and reached out to grab Su Mo.

This phantom claw was at an incredible speed, even faster than Su Mo’s sword ride. He took over those mighty fighters of the Netherworld Devil Sect and approached Su Mo.

“What?”

Su Mo noticed the approaching phantom claw. He was slightly shocked by this phantom claw’s earth-shattering power.

This must be an Lv 9 Martial Royal Realm expert’s strike, on par with Yan Tai, Hua Taishan, and Deputy Pavilion Leader Qian’s attacks during the Battle of Jade Cloud Lake if not stronger.

“Break it!”

Unable to dodge it, Su Mo turned around and dealt a strike at the phantom claw with his sword.

Su Mo didn’t hold back his power, exerting all his combat strength and driving his five pieces of divine elixir and his physical Qi Force.

The Emperor Sword gave off a dazzling light, turning earth and heaven upside down and spinning the moon and the sun backwards. Its power was matchless.

The next breath.

The Emperor Sword’s sword radiance clashed into the black phantom claw violently.

Boom!

A loud explosion shocked heaven and earth. The black phantom claw was slashed and burst open instantly.

A shiver went down Su Mo’s body. He flew backwards rapidly, which sped up his escape.

Cough! Cough!

Su Mo coughed quietly. He wasn’t injured from the confrontation but it did cause him some discomfort. His blood and qi was rolling and arms numb and stiff.

There was still a big gap between his strength and the Lv 9 Martial Royal Realm expert.

Whoosh!

Su Mo continued flying away from Cold Yin City at his top speed towards the exit.

This underground world had many members of the Netherworld Devil Sect on patrol. They launched attacks to intercept Su Mo.

However, these disciples of the Netherworld Devil Sect on patrol were not strong. They couldn’t slow down Su Mo at all.

Su Mo wielded his sword without slowing down and there was blood spilled from those who attempted to stop him.

Before long, Su Mo was very far away from Cold Yin City and pretty close to the exit of the Devil Abyss.

By this time, those members of the Netherworld Devil Sect in pursuit of Su Mo had already fallen very behind dramatically.

Su Mo felt relieved slightly. He should be safe now.

When Su Mo just breathed a sigh of relief, another sudden change occurred.

A black spear shot from Cold Devil City across space towards Su Mo.

This black spear was very scary as if a roaring dragon determined to tear up everything.

As soon as the big spear emerged, heaven and earth changed color. This massive underground world shook violently, about to collapse.

The black spear travelled hundreds of thousands of li to launch a destructive strike at Su Mo.

“What?”

Su Mo sensed this approaching black spear and his face immediately turned. His scalp tingled and his body froze in front of the big spear’s power.

Too powerful! This blow gave him a feeling of extreme danger.

“An Emperor-to-be’s strike!” Su Mo came to a sudden realization that an Emperor-to-be of the Netherworld Devil Sect had launched an attack at him.

This must be the master of the Netherworld Devil Sect!

Seeing the black spear approaching at high speed beyond description, Su Mo took out the Imperial defensive jade pendant without hesitation.

He injected his Dark Force into the jade pendant and the defensive pendant exploded at once, transforming into a grey air shield wrapping Su Mo up completely.

Su Mo had to use this Imperial defensive jade pendant as he didn’t think he could resist this blow on his own.

Although he was wearing a suit of Imperial internal armor, the armor couldn’t cover his entire body. To be on the safe side, he had to employ this defensive jade pendant.

Once the Defensive Air Shield formed, the black spear arrived and stung the shield violently.

Boom!

A loud explosion sounded when the Defensive Air Shield received the big spear’s attack. A small turbulence appeared on the shield before it held Su Mo to retreat.

The black spear failed to break open the Defensive Air Shield. It was bounced away, flying very far away.

“An Imperial Medium defensive item!”

A voice full of vicissitudes of life came from Cold Devil City, loud and majestic like a demonic sound.

This very powerful fighter quieted down and didn’t strike again.

Su Mo had already reached the exit of the Devil Abyss. He rose up and pierced into the sky.

Su Mo dared not stay. He knew he couldn’t handle an Emperor-to-be yet and his Defensive Air Shield would only last half an hour.

Phew!

Su Mo dived into the void at a lightning speed, giving off a shrill noise.

After one hour of flying at full speed, Su Mo realized that very powerful fighter didn’t give chase and he had completely got rid of those members of the Netherworld Devil Sect in pursuit.

“That was close…”

Su Mo heaved a sigh and felt lucky about getting away.

To prevent being caught up with by the strong fighter of the Netherworld Devil Sect, he dared not slow down.

He made sure his direction and flew rapidly towards Heaven-sea City. He was determined to return to the Firmament Palace.

On this trip, he completed half of his mission. He had retrieved his Spiritual Swords but didn’t find any information about Hong Qingxuan’s whereabouts.

Luckily he had captured Huangfu Qing. He should be able to find out Hong Qingxuan’s situation from him.

Tian Chen and An Nuan could join the Firmament Palace if they wanted.

Time went by and Su Mo flew for several days. The mighty fighter of the Netherworld Devil Sect didn’t chase. He was completely safe now.

Then, he slowed down slightly.
