Warrior’s Promise

The Red Anaconda, a Class One, Level Three Demonic Beast, soared away.

Looking at its disappearing figure, Su Mo sighed inwardly.

Although he had the strength to fight it, it was still impossible for him to kill it!

Most importantly, it had intended to flee.

After a short while, Su Mo left and flew away.

Four hours later, a dozen people with powerful strength arrived at the place that Su Mo had left.

The one who was leading them was Ouyang Ping, number three among the Inner Gate of Gale Island!

Ouyang Ping looked around and realized that a fight had taken place. A corpse had been smashed into pieces, but it was not Su Mo’s.

“Su Mo is still alive. He has just left. Inform the others and gather them together to attack Su Mo!” Ouyang Ping thought for a moment and commanded the people around him.

When he realized that Su Mo had killed Xiong Yue and survived the Lv 3 Demonic Beast’s attack, Ouyang Ping added, “Inform Senior Brother Yin, too!”

“Yes, Senior Brother Ouyang!” the others answered.

Immediately, they rapidly pursued along the path that he left.

…

As the night deepened, the moonlight shone brightly.

Amid the thick forest, there was a low mountain with a giant stone on it.

Su Mo was sitting cross-legged on that stone.

He smiled as he looked at his waist badge.

After killing dozens of people, he had a total of 52,000 points.

As Su Mo put away his waist badge, a light flashed and a bowl-sized Rainbow Lotus appeared in his hand. It had nine lotus seeds on it. It was the Acupores-smoothing Rainbow Lotus!

However, the Acupores-smoothing Rainbow Lotus had not yet ripened. Otherwise, it would have been eaten by the Red Anaconda.

“There’s no need to hurry this!”

Su Mo kept the lotus. Although the lotus could enhance spiritual power and comprehension, it would not make much difference to his current strength.

He waved his arm and multiple storage pouches appeared before him.

Theses pouches belonged to Xiao Qingfeng, Xiong Yue, and the others that Su Mo had killed.

In Su Mo’s opinion, grabbing others’ storage pouches was really the most profitable livelihood.

After a careful check, he found that there were over 90,000 Lower Spiritual Stones, and dozens of cultivation methods and martial arts techniques. There were more than 10 precious treasures as well.

“Is this… Golden-lined Fruit?”

Su Mo’s face lit up when he took a golden fruit out from Xiong Yue’s storage pouch.

The Golden-lined Fruit was a much-cherished Spiritual Fruit. It was as precious as his 100-year Red Ganoderma. It was also an important ingredient for making Level Three medicinal elixirs.

A martial artist in the Spiritual Martial Realm could even break through to another realm by swallowing it.

“One Golden-lined Fruit, one 100-year Red Ganoderma, and other Spiritual Herbs… Could they allow me to reach Lv 9 of the Spiritual Martial Realm?” Su Mo murmured.

In normal cases, these would be enough for martial artists to break through one level. But Su Mo had seven Spiritual Spirals, which meant that the Spiritual Qi he needed to progress his cultivation was much greater than others’.

Then, Su Mo swallowed the Golden-lined Fruit and refined it with his eyes shut.

The Golden-lined Fruit was really strong and it just melted in his mouth. It transformed into a pure Spiritual Qi and churned within Su Mo.

With his efforts, the efficacy was integrated into his seven Spiritual Spirals, and his cultivation increased at a rapid rate.

But there was still a long way to go to reach Lv 9!

Then, he started to swallow the Red Ganoderma and other Spiritual Herbs.

In just a short while, Su Mo had swallowed all the Spiritual Herbs.

About two hours later, it was dawn, and Su Mo opened his eyes. He had refined all the medicine. Although his cultivation had not reached Lv 9, it had reached the Lv 8 Spiritual Martial Realm.

“There’s still a long way to go before I can reach Lv 9!”

Su Mo thought, “I don’t have to devour any Spiritual Stones. Since there are many treasures in Qinghua Rift, if I can find other Spiritual Herbs that are equivalent to Golden-lined Fruit, it will be easy for me to break through!”

He still had lots of Spiritual Stones, but he did not plan to devour them. If he wanted to, he could have devoured all of those stones in four hours!

But he decided to use the Spiritual Stones to purchase Beast Souls for enhancing his Martial Soul.

From Su Mo’s point of view, his Devouring Martial Spirit was what he would rely on in the future. As long as he could enhance the level of his Martial Spirit, there would be a sliver of hope for him to catch up to Shangguan Hao.

Otherwise, even if his Martial Spirit reached the Earth Class, he would still be far behind Shangguan Hao, who had a Heaven Class Martial Soul with an invincible cultivation.

“Now, just keep searching for treasures!”

Su Mo sighed and prepared to get up.

“Erm?”

Su Mo’s face changed and then he smiled.

He sensed that there were over 200 people surrounding the peak.

“Haha! It seems that you want to help me progress!” Su Mo sneered and just continued to sit cross-legged, waiting for them.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

After a while, many disciples from Gale Island rushed toward the mountain.

Immediately, those disciples surrounded Su Mo.

Ling Tianxiao, Ouyang Ping, ranked number two and three respectively among the Inner Gate, and some other top experts had gathered together.

However, Yin Lige’s absence made Su Mo feel a bit disappointed.

“Su Mo, you won’t get away this time!”

Ouyang Ping looked at Su Mo coldly with strong killing desire.

Seeing this current situation, Ouyang Ping did not believe that Su Mo could flee. Because even the number one among the Inner Gate of the four sects would lose in this circumstance, let alone Su Mo.

“Why should I run?” Su Mo looked at Ouyang Ping and asked with a smile.

“Oh?”

Hearing those words, Ouyang Ping frowned. He was a bit surprised that Su Mo was remaining calm. He sneered and said, “Su Mo, I know that you have already reached the Lv 8 Spiritual Martial Realm, and have killed Xiong Yue. You have even survived the attack of the Red Anaconda. But, even so, do you think that you will survive under this kind of joint attack?”

Ouyang Ping did not know that the Red Anaconda had been the one at a disadvantage. If he had known, he would not have been so confident.
