Warrior’s Promise

“Who has given you the permission to challenge Su Mo? Get off the platform!”

A cold and violent voice resounded through the duel venue.

​ 

Everyone turned towards the sound and looked at Li Qianjue as he was the one who had stopped Leng Xie.

Li Qianjue stared at Leng Xie with fury. He was clearly enraged.

He was terribly upset. Everyone had known his intention to kill Su Mo. However Leng Xie had challenged Su Mo. That inevitably had thwarted Li Qianjue’s plan.

After all, if Leng Xie had successfully challenged Su Mo, he would have missed an opportunity in this round.

Even though he would have another chance in the next round, he did not wish for there to be any delay. He had wanted to eliminate all possible variables that could have prevented him from slaying Su Mo.

“Leng Xie, get off now!”

A devil from the Sun Moon Tribe shouted. This group from the Sun Moon Tribe had not expected Leng Xie to challenge Su Mo.

Leng Xie had stayed at the God’s Path for almost three years. He had superb fighting ability. Only that he was unsociable and eccentric.

He had volunteered to participate in this challenge. Considering his prowess, the Sun Moon Tribe had agreed.

However, it was beyond their expectation that Leng Xie would be the first to challenge Su Mo. This had made the Sun Moon Tribe speechless.

Upon hearing Li Qianjue’s furious shout and the instructions from his tribe’s devils, Leng Xie frowned. However he would not listen. He would not relinquish such a good opportunity for him to seek his revenge on Su Mo.

“Su Mo, get up the platform!” Leng Xie glared at Su Mo and ordered.

“You are courting your own death!” Li Qianjue was infuriated. If another person who was more powerful than him had defied him, he would swallow that humiliation. To think that a lowly fellow from the Sun Moon Tribe had disobeyed him made him really upset.

He clenched his fists and got ready to fight.

“Stop!”

Xing Han barked. Strong air currents enveloped the space and hit directly on Li Qianjue’s body.

“Li Qianjue, please obey the rules. Do not make things difficult for me!” Xing Han ordered in a cold voice. He was the host for this challenge and he had to ensure rules were adhered to in order to have a successful challenge.

Li Qianjue paused. Although he did not fear Xing Han, he was sure that if he decided to get his way, Xing Han would have halted him.

Moreover, he had openly disobeyed the rules. He might have set a precedent for the other contestants.

“Qianjue, fret not!”

Chang Li Tong, the chief from the Sky Tyrant Clan, looked at Li Qianjue and shook his head.

Li Qianjue simmered down and took a glance at Leng Xie, his intention to kill was revealed.

However, he decided to stop his action.

Upon seeing the change, the group from the Sun Moon Tribe was relieved. It was a good thing that Li Qianjue did not stop the fight. Otherwise, a feud might develop between the Sun Moon Tribe and the Sky Tyrant Tribe.

Su Mo was expressionless, and he was not bothered. He moved to the platform and faced Leng Xie.

There was silence. Everyone fixed their gaze on Su Mo, they had all wanted to see how good Su Mo was.

Su Mo had just arrived at the God’s Path, however in a short span of time, he had built up his reputation.

After all, previously at the First Mountain, he had been confronted by Wu Zuo and two devils from the Sky Tyrant Clan. He had survived and killed one of them.

That duel on the First Mountain was one that turned everyone’s attention onto Su Mo. Su Mo’s victory in that legendary fight spread like wildfire.

That solidified Su Mo’s reputation. However, most of the warriors had not seen how good Su Mo’s prowess was.

Hence, they would like to witness for themselves, if Su Mo was that good.

On the platform.

Leng Xie looked solemn upon seeing Su Mo walked up the platform. Facing Su Mo for the second time, he was under tremendous pressure. However no one knew that.

All three years, Su Mo had been Leng Xie’s devil. He had wanted to take revenge by killing Su Mo.

However, now that Su Mo was standing opposite him, he felt fear.

“Su Mo, today I am going to get revenge for the humiliation you brought upon me!”

Leng Xie attempted to suppress his fears. His eyes were like those of the python’s, they were fixated on Su Mo. Both eyes showed his intention to kill Su Mo.

“Leng Xie, I have to say this. You are quite amazing to have attained the level of the Empty God Realm. However, you should have stayed away from me.”

Su Mo looked at Leng Xie, shook his head and said. Su Mo had long forgotten how he and Leng Xie had become foes.

Su Mo had devoured Leng Xie’s Haze Body, yet Leng Xie was able to horne his prowess to the level of the Empty God Realm. That came as a huge bewilderment to Su Mo.

However, that was Leng Xie’s destiny. If Leng Xie had progressed further, the sky would be the limit for him.

But, Leng Xie had committed a grave mistake. He had to invite trouble for himself.

“Stop the nonsense. Today we shall fight for life and death!”

Leng Xie roared loudly. He stopped and meted out a blow.

He held his hands to allow the Dark Force in his palms to overflow with Haze Qi.

Very soon, a layer of intense Haze Qi formed a round ball with a diameter of three feet in front of his body. The ball continued to expand.

Within the ball, there were thousands of dancing runes flying at high speeds.

The aura that emanated from the ball was terrifying. It was as if a hundred thousand volcanoes had erupted, editing the ghastly aura.

“Was this … the Destroy Natural Disasters prowess in the Primordial Mysterious Yin Skill?”

“How can this be?”

“Has he mastered the Primordial Mysterious Yin Skill?”

The group of devils from the Sun Moon Tribe were flabbergasted when they saw Leng Xie execute the move from the Primordial Mysterious Yin Skill.

That would mean that Leng Xie had completely mastered the Primordial Mysterious Yin Skill.

This had shocked all the devils from the Sun Moon Tribe. Despite the fact that they had known of Leng Xie’s formidable prowess, and they had also witnessed his powers, it was not known to anyone that Leng Xie had mastered the Primordial Mysterious Yin Skill.

 “Primordial Mysterious Yin Skill?”

Quite a handful of the devils all tribes, clans and sects were taken aback. It was true that the Primordial Mysterious Yin Skill from the Sun Moon Tribe was indomitable. However it had been abandoned for quite some time as no one had practised it.

However, today, it was practised by a lowly disciple.

“It’s no use. Hope you are able to grow a heart in your next life!”

Su Mo shook his head and in that same instant, he swung his Purple Virtual Sword towards his opponent.

Up until now, Su Mo was getting impressed by Leng Xie. However, a foe was a foe. He could not have mercy on his enemy.

Swoosh!

The sword flew past and a ray of sharp Sword Qi cut through layers of the Empty Space. It travelled at the speed of lightning to hit directly on Leng Xie, with the intention to kill him.

Previously on the ninth mountain, Su Mo’s real prowess was suppressed. In that duel, he did not activate his Blood Force Energy. However this strike with his sword was comparatively formidable.

Chaotic Sword Qi and Sword Power travelled for a thousand miles, both filled with the intention to kill. They devastated the Boundary Space Force in the Empty Space. It become a beam of Holy Light and fast approached Leng Xie.

At the same instant, the ball in front of Leng Xie’s body had already expanded to a diameter of five feet. It looked like a grey sun and it emanated a terrifying aura.

“Kill!”

With a loud order, Leng Xie pushed the huge ball forward. It shot out into the air and collided with the Chaotic Sword Qi.

Thunder!

An explosion sounded and shook the winds. What followed had left Leng Xie astounded.

The ball was torn by the powerful Sword Qi.

The Sword Qi was invincible and unstoppable. After tearing open the ball, it turned directly to his physical body.

“How could this be?” Leng Xie’s eyes betrayed his shock and disappointment.

He had executed the most powerful blow from the Primordial Mysterious Yin Skill. It was named Destroy Natural Disasters, as it was formidable and deadly.

He had struck using his most powerful skill.

However, such a powerful blow was weakened in front of Su Mo.

“Hehe!” Leng Xie laughed and his face lit up. He had let go. He was unable to avoid the Sword, nor was he able to counter it.

He had initially thought that when he had mastered the Primordial Mysterious Yin Skill, he would then be able to take on Su Mo.

However, he could not believe the cruel reality. He was unable to take a blow from Su Mo.

After years of persevering with hard work, he had been waiting for this day to arrive. However, it was his delusion.

Thunder!

In the next moment, the Sword Qi hit on Leng Xie. Without hesitation, it broke open his body and it became a bloody cloud.

Faced by the mighty Sword power, the bloody cloud evaporated and vanished.

The blow had destroyed Leng Xie, who had spent several years to sharpen his prowess. He was thoroughly destroyed and he perished.
