Warrior’s Promise

“What is your Fighting Soul?” Sword Saint Tianxin couldn’t help asking curiously.

“Continue with your next move!” Su Mo did not reply to Sword Saint Tianxin as he lightly said.

He was taken aback inwardly. Sword Saint Tianxin was strong, if he used his cultivation rank strength, Su Mo might not be able to guarantee his victory against him.

“Alright, I want to see just how strong you are!”

Sword Saint Tianxin nodded his head as his eyes slowly closed. As he lifted his sword highly, dense Sword Force gathered together and accumulated around his sword.

Sword Force, Sword Ultimacy and Sword Fighting Soul strength along with numerous types of Dark Force like an erupting volcano.

Shoosh!

A bright flash of light blinded the sky as the second sword strike smashed its way forward as an even stronger Sword Radiance at Su Mo.

Without delay, Su Mo activated his Fighting Souls to meet the stronger blow. This time, he activated thirty Sword Fighting Souls.

This was close to his limit already. After all, his Spiritual Soul had been injured and was not completely healed yet.

Activating thirty Fighting Souls was the maximum that his Spiritual Soul could currently handle.

Boundless Sword Force became even denser as sharp Sword Radiance rushed out.

Boom!

With another explosion, the empty space ruptured apart as invisible radiance tore apart through the nine heavens and destroyed everything in the sky.

The two were equally matched with this blow.

Sword Saint Tianxin’s face turned as dark as water. He had not been able to cause Su Mo any harm despite making two moves.

Su Mo had used only Fighting Soul strength to block his two moves and this had caused Sword Saint Tianxin’s heart to sink.

He was fully confident in his swordsmanship. Not to mention his Sword Fighting Soul, he had achieved the Rank 8 enlightenment for his Sword Ultimacy.

However, despite that, his blows were still blocked by Su Mo and he was in disbelief.

What Fighting Soul would give such radiance?

Sword Saint Tianxin was bewildered and conflicted.

At that point in Silver Ice City as well as the neighbouring cities, everyone watching the battle was stunned.

This included the men who had requested Sword Saint Tianxin’s help in eliminating Su Mo. They had not imagined that Sword Saint Tianxin would be evenly matched with Demon Shadow when he chose such a unique method of sparring.

Demon Shadow did not seem to have the lower hand with the two blows.

Second Mountain was big and it was like a large star that was a few hundred kilometers wide.

At that point, at the top of the tallest mountain in the middle of Second Mountain, were two figures.

The two men were tall and burly and they both wore black robes that covered their pitch-black skin. Strange markings lined every corner of their bodies, their faces, foreheads and hands. Like tiny venomous snakes, the markings made the two men appear mysterious and terrifying.

As the two stared off into the distance while standing on the mountain, their keen gazes allowed them to see through vast distances of space before they focused on Su Mo and Sword Saint Tianxin.

“That man can actually stand against Tianxin, what is his identity?”

One of the men expressionlessly asked in a light voice.

“I am not sure… however, that man seems to be the man whom the Sky Tyrant Tribe are hell bent on killing!” The other men replied

“Is that so? The enemy of the Sky Tyrant Tribe might possibly be a friend of our Nether Tribe!”

…

Up in the air, Sword Saint Tianxin stared with a hardened face at Su Mo. Two blows were insufficient and he had to use his real abilities.

If he was unable to take down Su Mo in three moves, he would be a laughing stock as one of the Ten Great Saints.

“You have one move left, attack me!” Su Mo dared in a low voice. Yet, his heart was heavy and he did not underestimate Sword Saint Tianxin.

“Let me see how you can take this last blow!”

Sword Saint Tianxin roared angrily before his palms spread open and he directed them to the sky. Once again, a densive power gathered around him.

Buzz buzz~~

Empty Space rumbled and light flashed continuously around him.

It was the Spiritual Sword!

The Natal Spiritual Sword!

Numerous Natal Spiritual Swords appeared beside Sword Saint Tianxin, their flashing lights illuminating the sky in all directions.

Among these Natal Spiritual Swords were light green and silver swords that dazzled brilliantly. The aura around them was sharp and light filled the area.

“Ten thousand Natal Spiritual Swords?” Su Mo’s heart clenched. However, with a careful look, he realized that there were close to twenty thousand Natal Spiritual Swords.

“Demon Shadow, take my Sword Graveyard!”

Sword Saint Tianxin yelled out loud. With a mental thought, ten thousand cold radiances flashed as the twenty thousand Natal Spiritual Swords flew towards Su Mo and surrounded him in all directions.

In the next instant, all the Natal Spiritual Swords flashed with a blinding light, each of them like a mini sun that linked together to become a large sphere that locked Su Mo within.

Large Sword Radiance rose into the air, giving off a dark and sinister vibe.

Everyone who saw this scene couldn’t help having their hearts clench. Perhaps many people were unaware of how strong Sword Saint Tianxin’s move was, but many experts had a good idea of it.

The Sword Graveyard was a unique move of Sword Saint Tianxin that was incredibly strong.

It was rumored that the move could kill a Rank 4 Empty God instantly. However, few had seen personally how strong the move was.

Bing Yue, Bing Yan and all the Dark Ice Tribe people couldn’t help shutting their eyes tightly. The power of the move was untold of and even without the Sword Saint using Dark Force, it seemed impossible for Su Mo to block it.

In the midst of all the shock, the twenty thousand Natal Spiritual Swords that formed a huge sphere rapidly started to shrink.

Everyone predicted that if the sphere shrunk to its minimum, Demon Shadow would not be able to survive.

By then, Demon Shadow had to use his Dark Force cultivation rank fully if he wanted a slight chance of surviving the move.

However, the moment Demon Shadow used his Dark Force, he would lose.

Yet, Sword Saint Tianxin would also use his Dark Force to kill Demon Shadow instantly.

Su Mo remained upright inside the ball. He could feel the power of the blow as when the twenty thousand Natal Spiritual Swords gathered together, their auras seemed to be able to destroy the heavens and earths.

Although this move was strong, Su Mo had confidence in surviving.

After all, his Blood Force was strong and he also had the Green Treasure Armor to protect him.

Buzz buzz~~

In the blink of an eye, Su Mo activated all his Blood Force strength and utilized the maximum strength of his Supreme Combat Body.

Dazzling golden light shot out as a blinding light.

Not only that, Su Mo also activated his Fighting Soul strength and a strong, terrifying Sword Force accumulated around Su Mo to become a Sword Shadow that surrounded him.

The Sword Soul’s protective force, in addition to his Blood Force and Green Treasured Armor, formed three layers of defense around Su Mo.

Right at that point, the twenty thousand Spiritual Sword sphere shrunk to be utterly small. With crushing force, it smashed against Su Mo.

Bam!

A loud explosion occurred as the empty space shook. Terrifying Sword Force exploded as the many longswords shot through the sky.

Since no Dark Force was used, the outcome of the move was clear.

Once Sword Force erupted apart, twenty thousand Spiritual Swords burst apart and shot out in all directions.

Su Mo stood in the middle of the sky like an unmoving mountain.

At this sight, all eyes bulged open wide as they stared at Su Mo incredulously.

It was blocked!

It had been blocked!

Everyone had their mouths hanging open. Demon Shadow had not used any of his cultivation rank Dark Force to block Sword Saint Tianxin’s Sword Graveyard!

Granted, Su Mo appeared beaten now. Most importantly, the Green Treasures Armor was torn apart and it hung loosely in pieces across Su Mo’s body

An Upper Grade Treasure that was not supported by Dark Force would be easily destroyed by an attack of an expert.

“This…!”

Sword Saint Tianxin’s face turned blank and his eyes turned ghastly white as though he had seen a ghost when he looked at Su Mo.

Waves of emotions crashed in his heart. How could it be? What kind of Fighting Soul did Demon Shadow have? What type of Blood Force was that? How could it be so strong?

“Three moves are over, but you have not injured me!” Su Mo lightly declared. Although he had blocked the last move, it had not been easy.

The strong Sword Radiance of the move had caused his entire body to feel like a billion needles were poking through his skin.

After hearing Su Mo’s words, Sword Saint Tianxin’s face fell. He had not managed to take Su Mo down with three moves and he was utterly ashamed.

“I will keep my word and I spare you today!”

A few moments later, Sword Saint Tianxin continued, “you were only able to match me with three moves because I didn’t use my Dark Force. Otherwise you would be dead in one move!”

“Mm, you are very strong!” Su Mo acknowledged. Sword Saint Tianxin had lost but Su Mo saved him some face.

“Hmm…!”

Sword Saint Tianxin was surprised. He had thought that Su Mo would counter him. Besides, no one wanted to act weaker.

However, he had not expected Su Mo to agree with his words.

Nonetheless, it was a good thing and he could save his words.

After a moment of silence, Sword Saint Tianxin said, “Demon Shadow, I observed that you did not use Sword Ultimacy and only relied on your Fighting Soul and Blood Force strength. I am very curious, what Fighting Soul and Blood Force do you have?”

Sword Saint Tianxin couldn’t help asking out of curiosity.

With such a strong Fighting Soul and Blood Force, Su Mo would be a saint if he became an Empty God.

“Great Rotating Sacred Sword Fighting Soul and Supreme Combat Body!” Su Mo lightly answered. There was no need for him to hide. After all, any fool could tell that his Fighting Soul and Blood Force were strong.

“I see!” Sword Saint Tianxin’s eyes flashed. It was ranked as the fourteenth Great Rotating Sacred Sword Fighting Soul and the Rank fifth Supreme Combat Body on the Archean Boards. No wonder Su Mo was so strong.
