Warrior’s Promise

“Hum?” Yin Lige stopped. His brows knitted at the man in front of him. “Do I know you?” Yin Lige sized the young man up and then asked coldly.

Yin Lige did not sense any sign of genuine Qi on the young man, nor could he tell the man’s cultivation. Moreover, the man must have something in him, or he would not stop Yin Lige, as he had known how strong Yin Lige was. Somehow, unease rose inside Yin Lige.

“Who is he? What a boaster!”

“I don’t know. Could he be stronger than Chu Yan?”

“…”

Everyone was amazed at the man for his guts to look down on Yin Lige.

Many disciples of the Scorching Sun Sect, however, started to laugh. They knew this man very well, although the other people on this square did not recognize him.

“Senior Brother Tang, kill Yin Lige before we wipe out all the disciples of the Gale Island!” One of them gave a surprising remark.

“How dare you! You underdogs think you could kill all of us?” Some disciples of the Gale Island that were members of the Sky Alliance retaliated.

“Who are you calling underdogs? Are you courting an early death?” The disciples of the Scorching Sun Sect were furious.

“It’s you courting an early death!” The disciples of the Gale Island looked assertive. They did not want to be on the back foot.

There was a flare-up of tension between the two sides. Over 2,000 disciples seemed to be ready for a battle.

At the same time, the young man was sneering at Yin Lige, “Yin Lige, I’ll let you die without confusion. My name is Tang Quan. Remember, it’s me who’ll be sending you to hell,” Tang Quan said carefreely, completely belittling Yin Lige.

“Is that so?” Yin Lige squinted and said coldly, “If you want my life, let’s see what you can do!”

Yin Lige stood there gravely. He could feel the invisible pressure that Tang Quan put on him, even though Tang Quan did not show his imposing manner.

“Ha ha! I’ll show you how big the difference is between you and me.” Tang Quan cracked up and sent out his aura suddenly. It was tremendous and rose high into the sky.

His aura was far beyond those in the Spiritual Martial Realm. Even Chu Yan and Yin Lige, who were very close to the True Spirit Realm, did not have such strong aura.

“He’s in the True Spirit Realm?” Yin Lige’s expression turned gloomy.

A thought had crossed his mind before, but he dared not believe it was true.

The disciples of the other three sects were dumbfounded by the truth.

To their surprise, Tang Quan’s cultivation was actually at the Lv 1 True Spirit Realm.

“He is in the True Spirit Realm? How could it be possible?”

“How did he get in? Did he just breach the bottleneck?”

The disciples of the Gale Island shouted in disbelief, anxiety crossing their faces. If this man meant to kill them all, no one would survive.

It was a huge drop from the True Spirit Realm to the Spiritual Martial Realm, which meant that those in the True Spirit Realm were way stronger than martial artists in the Spiritual Martial Realm.

What’s more, those in the True Spirit Realm did not have genuine Qi anymore. Instead, they have something ten times powerful than genuine Qi, called Genuine Vitality.

That was to say, one wisp of Genuine Vitality was sufficient to crush ten times genuine Qi.

The martial artists in the True Spirit Realm were so powerful that even the weakest one was capable of killing numerous martial artists in the Spiritual Martial Realm with only one blow.

At that moment, all the disciples of the Gale Island gazed at Yin Lige, hoping that he could defeat this man.

Yin Lige was better than any regular martial artists in the same realm. He had started condensing Genuine Vitality and was extremely close to the True Spirit Realm. Perhaps he was able to rival a martial artist at the Lv 1 True Spirit Realm.

Although they were a little worried, they still believed in Yin Lige.

Su Mo, who was still sitting nearby, flashed a look at Tang Quan and did not change his expression.

Lv 1 True Spirit Realm?

Su Mo would not take any man seriously unless he was a super formidable fighter in the True Spirit Realm.

Even if the opponent was extraordinarily powerful, Su Mo was fearless.

Arrogance crossed Tang Quan’s face as he heard the exclamation of the people around.

“Yin Lige, do you still figure that I can’t kill you?” Tang Quan sniffed. “Now, I’ll end your life as quickly as a flash of lighting!”

With that, he launched the attack at once.

Swish!

Tang Quan bounced high. He reached above Yin Lige in an instant and struck toward Yin Lige from above.

“Roaring Flame Palm!”

Tang Quan launched his strongest strike right away. A giant handprint, a dozen meters long, riddled with violent waves enveloped Yin Lige from above, aiming to kill him in one fell swoop.

Roaring Flame Palm was a Lower Lv 3 Martial Skill, a famous unique skill of the Scorching Sun Sect. It was rather powerful. Tang Quan had managed to improve this skill to the Minor Completion Realm, and with his cultivation, the damage that this strike could cause was beyond imagination.

“Stop flattering yourself. I won’t die easily, even if you’ve entered the True Spirit Realm.”

Yin Lige’s face turned sullen now. He motivated all his aura and mustered up his genuine Qi in his fists.

“Conqueror Fist… The Peerless Conqueror!”

Yin Lige shouted as he shot out two punches. They were like two dragons flying out of the sea. The irresistible fist force directly hit the handprint above him.

Boom!

Two strikes clashed, giving out a deafening explosion.

Crack! Crack!

The ground under Yin Lige, paved with white jades, cracked open in a moment, and the cracks were spreading outward.

Being overpowered, Yin Lige was badly wounded and started to spit blood. The mighty strike nailed him into the ground, with only the upper part of the body left above the ground.

“He was so strong!”

Yin Lige was no longer as composed as before. He found that Tang Quan was much better than an ordinary fighter in the Lv 1 True Spirit Realm.

Yin Lige was already nearing the True Spirit Realm and had the ability to exchange a dozen blows with an average martial artist in the True Spirit Realm.

However, this man wounded him with one mere strike.

The result staggered all the spectators. They witnessed the real power of a martial artist in the True Spirit Realm, who even Yin Lige could not compete with.

For a moment, the disciples of the Gale Island went white. They had not expected Tang Quan to be so strong that he could injure Yin Lige in one move.

“Drop dead!”

Tang Quan did not want Yin Lige to fight back. He immediately struck at him again with an overbearing attack.

In the twinkling of an eye, the huge handprint was capping Yin Lige.

This attack would either kill Yin Lige or leave him with severe injuries.

Many people shut their eyes so as not to see Yin Lige, an elite of their age, die a terrible death.

Swoosh!

At this moment, a screeching whistle rang out. Out of nowhere, a piercing sword Qi flashed through and hit the handprint in a split second.

At the same time, a cold voice said, “I’ll be the one to take his life, and no one is allowed to snatch it from me!”
