Warrior’s Promise

Su Mo’s sword struck out as dazzling three-colored Sword Qi split the sky.

An uneasy feeling rose in his heart. The expert from the Blood Pupil Tribe had stared directly into his eyes before he attacked, it seemed like Su Mo was the target.

However, why did the elder want to kill him? Did the Blood Pupil Tribe have a grudge against him??

Elder Xue Cheng’s blow was strong and the massive blood-colored Holy Force shook the nine heavens with its strength.

Although this place was only about 1,000 kilometers away from Black Mountain Fort, and it was highly likely that he would be discovered, Elder Xue Cheng did not seem to care.

Before the experts from the Black Mountain Fort could react, his mission would have been completed.

Against the Holy Blood Force Sword attack, the combined attack of Su Mo and the other 3000 troops created a massive wave of force.

3000 different attacks swept out like a kilometer-wide tsunami as a wide variety of radiances blinded the eye. Terrifying forces spread over the vast area and the Dark Mountain was instantly crushed to ashes.

Boom!

A loud, deafening explosion sounded as the large fire snake of Zhu Tong struck against the Holy Blood Force Sword.

Like a mesmerizing firework, the blazing-hot fire snake that was a few dozen meters long was instantly destroyed by the Holy Blood Force Sword.

Streaks of fire drizzled down the sky and spread out over a kilometer wide as the fire snake was destroyed.

After the Holy Blood Force Sword destroyed the fire snake, its powers were diminished slightly but it sped through the sky quickly and instantly collided against the multitude of attacks.

Boom! Boom! Boom boom boom!

In the next few instants, earth-shaking explosions continued to sound as the numerous attacks, as well as the Holy Blood Force Sword, exploded apart into waves of force that rolled out towards Elder Xue Cheng.

Although the Holy Blood Force Sword was strong, it stood no chance against the mass of attacks and especially, Zhu Tong’s strong attack.

Elder Xue Cheng immediately retreated backward to avoid the shockwaves that followed the explosion.

Before the crowd could even celebrate the destruction of the Holy Blood Force Sword, another attack came after them.

A black-shirted, middle-aged man suddenly appeared behind with a black flag in his hand. With a slight wave of the flag, numerous skeleton warriors gushed out like it was a fish tank that had been broken.

Roar roar roar!!!

The numerous skeleton warriors held long sabers in their hands and roared like wolves. They filled the entire sky as they attacked the crowd.

“Souls of the Dead Skill!” Su Mo’s eyes widened in surprise upon seeing the black flag. He was very familiar with the large mass of skeleton warriors. It was the Sorcerer Tribe Forbidden Skill, the Souls of the Dead Skill.

Back when he had battled against Wu Shang of the Sorcerer Tribe main branch in the True Sage Realm, Wu Shang had used this skill.

Su Mo was also very familiar with the middle-aged man who wielded the attack. It was Honored Wu Han who he had seen in Saint Royal City previously.

In an instant, Su Mo finally understood the uneasiness in his heart.

The Blood Pupil Clan’s military offense was actually to help the Sorcerer Tribesmen to kill him.

The reason why the Blood Pupil Clan had not retreated too early from the 17 strategic areas they controlled was to lure him out.

What a perfect plan. Su Mo’s heart instantly sunk to the depths of the ocean.

As the crowd saw the mass of skeleton warriors heading towards them, many of their hearts leaped in surprise. The deathly aura around the skeleton warriors were terrifying and ominous.

At the same time, the aura around the black-robed, middle-aged man who suddenly appeared was strong and the crowd could see that he was an expert in the Rank 9 Martial Honorable Realm.

“Everyone, retreat back to the mine!”

Zhu Tong yelled out. He did not know that Elder Xue Cheng and Wu Han’s target was Su Mo and he assumed that the two had come to attack the entire army.

Shoosh shoosh shoosh!

As the crowd attacked the crazy onslaught of skeleton warriors, they anxiously retreated into the mine.

Although Dark Mountain had been reduced to ashes, the entrance to the mine was still intact.

There was an array protecting the mine inside and they would be in less danger inside there.

Zhu Tong did not order for the army to disperse to all four corners. Against two Rank 9 Martial Honorables, they would be wiped out the moment they dispersed in all directions.

Shoosh!

Without hesitation, Su Mo also rushed into the mine. He did not dare to escape, as being chased by 2 Rank 9 Martial Honorables meant certain death for him.

Most importantly, Wu Fengtian had not appeared either and Su Mo did not believe that Wu Fengtian was not going to come.

Jin Lu started shivering in fear. His domineering and murderous attitude he had had before the 2 enemies came instantly disappeared as he rushed into the mine as well.

Since they were near the entrance of the mine, Su Mo, Zhu Tong, Jin Lu and the other experts were the first few in the tunnel.

However, before everyone managed to dash into the mine, a large palm that appeared to be a whole heaven crushed down onto the ground.

Wu Fengtian floated in mid-air as he slammed his palm down heavily. The Palm Print smashed down over a large distance with unrivalled force.

As the palm print struck down at lighting speed, massive auras shook the ground below and it instantly shook violently and crumbled apart.

“Not good!”

“We are doomed!”

“Block quickly!”

Those who had not managed to rush into the mine yet instantly whitened in fear. Many yelled out desperately as they tried to attack the palm print that had dropped down from the sky.

However, although the palm print was barely blocked by the combined blows of the crowd, numerous skeleton warriors were rushing over to kill the troops.

Pop! Pop pop!!

Ah! Ah ah!

In an instant, fierce winds blew the fresh blood and bones off the numerous corpses. A large pool of blood spurted out through the sky as piercing screams tore through the air.

The skeleton warriors were exceptionally strong and they were each about Rank 6 or 7 Martial Honorables. Like a knife cutting vegetables, they mercilessly killed the large group of troops.

Unfortunately, only about half of the troops managed to rush into the mine. The other half were massacred in the blink of an eye throughout the vast, barren mountain range.

Shoosh shoosh shoosh!

Three figures were lowered near the entrance of the mine. They were Elder Xue Cheng, Honored Wu Han and Wu Fengtian.

“We created a huge scene and the Black Mountain Fort must have noticed. We must quickly end this!” Elder Xue Cheng’s face darkened as he spoke.

“Mm!” Wu Han and Wu Fengtian nodded their heads. Then, their bodies jerked and they zipped through the air into the mine.

They couldn’t delay any longer as they would be doomed and all their efforts would be wasted the moment a top expert of the Black Mountain Fort arrived.

Numerous skeleton warriors followed closely behind Wu Han and Wu Fengtian like a gush of water flooding the mine.

Elder Xue Cheng also did not delay and he rushed into the mine.

Inside the mine.

The crowd did not slow down as they headed into the depths of the mine.

“General Zhu Tong, what should we do?” Huo Yi was drenched in sweat and he anxiously asked Zhu Tong beside him.

Their enemies were too strong and they also had a strange secret skeleton skill. The troops were no match for the enemies and, in the span of a few breaths, over a thousand people had died.

At that point, Huo Yi was stunned out of his senses and he was at a loss as to what to do.

Everyone else also had pale faces as their hearts shriveled in fear.

Jin Lu’s face hardened. He had come to kill Su Mo and yet, he fell into such unlucky circumstances. If anything went wrong, he would die here.

Su Mo was also serious and he quickly searched his mind for ideas. This was a life or death crisis for him and he had to escape or he would definitely die here.

He could not handle 2 Rank 9 Martial Honorables and Wu Fengtian together even if he played all his hidden cards.
