Warrior’s Promise

The Great Hong Empire.

A large purple serpent darted across the skies. With a flick of its large tail, it travelled tens of miles in a split second.

Su Mo sat on the back of the large serpent, with a cold expression and murderous intent clearly reflected in his eyes.

He passed by many cities devoid of life within the Great Hong Empire along the way, and those once lively cities were now completely empty, all their inhabitants massacred.

There was no doubt that this was the work of Cold-blood Hall, and this thought filled alone filled his heart with murderous intent.

Su Mo might not be considered a good person, but he would never commit such unspeakable acts.

“God forbid if Cold-blood Hall is not destroyed!” Su Mo said coldly.

“I wonder how Skymoon Country is now?”

Su Mo became more anxious the closer he got to Skymoon Country. He was finally back after 6 months!

“Cold-blood Hall, your doomsday has arrived!”

Whoosh!

Su Mo recalled Lil Eight back into its spiritual beast pouch and immediately drew his spiritual sword with a blinding flash of light.

As Su Mo stepped onto the spiritual sword, at his command, his speed increased by more than ten times, and he soon disappeared from view.

…

Imperial Palace, Skymoon Country.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Explosions sounded across the entire Imperial City, and the people within the city swarmed like locusts, circling the imperial palace as they watched this horrific scene from afar.

“This time, it’s really the end of the imperial family!”

“I would have never imagined that the people from Gale Island were hiding within the imperial palace!”

“The imperial family had been hiding such mighty strength all this time!”

“Aye! Gale Island made Su Mo suffer, and now goodness knows where Su Mo is, but he has left Gale Island facing death alone here.”

The crowd talked in hushed whispers.

Elder Xue Yu stood before the imperial palace and led hundreds of experts in a joint attack against the imperial palace’s defensive formation. The defensive formation shook violently, and cracks started to emerge once again.

“Continue the attack! This formation can’t hold out for much longer!” Elder Xue Yu shouted.

Under their continued attacks, the formation continued to shake violently as more and more cracks appeared.

Within the formation base hall of the imperial palace:

“Let us all continue to give it our all! We must not let the formation collapse, or it will spell our doom!” The normally imperious Emperor of Skymoon Country was now looking deathly pale.

Everyone grit their teeth and continued to pour their vital spirit into the defensive formation.

However, many people had already exhausted their Genuine Vitality and continually took elixirs to replenish it.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Explosions rocked the sky, and with a cracking sound, so many cracks had appeared that the formation was on the verge of completely collapsing.

“We’re doomed!”

“This is it!”

Whether it was the Sus, the people of the Firmament Sect, or the imperial family of Skymoon Country, their eyes were all filled with utter despair.

Bang!

Finally, after a few moments, the defensive formation was unable to hold out and burst open with a loud bang.

Elder Xue Yu was jubilant at the sight of the collapsed defensive formation, and with a wave of his arm, he commanded, “Kill them all!”

“Die!”

Everyone moved to rush into the imperial palace.

Just at that moment, something strange happened. A huge beam of golden light streaked across the army of experts at an unbelievable speed.

Poof!

As the golden light cut across the army of experts, blood gushed everywhere.

Ah! Ah! Ah!

Cries of alarm suddenly sounded as tens of True Spirit Realm experts were instantly killed, their bodies cut into tiny pieces.

“Who was that?” they shouted in anger, their faces pale.

Soon, they saw the golden light land on the ground and turn into a stony faced young man in white.

The body of this young man in white was covered in many layers of scale armor which gave of a dazzling golden light.

In his right hand, he held a humongous golden saber. This war saber was more than 10 meters long, 10 times largers than an average war saber, and looked extremely terrifying.

He held a golden oval shield in his left hand and gave off an imposing air, like a golden-armored Ares.

“This is the demon slayer!”

“My goodness! It really is the demon slayer!”

“Why would the demon slayer help the imperial family?” the crowd exclaimed.

Everyone, including the many experts from Sky Rapier Sect and Sky Yuan Sect, as well as the crowd gathered afar, were stunned at the appearance of this golden-scaled young man.

In the past 6 months, the most famous person in Hong Domain was no longer Su Mo, but this young man known as the demon slayer.

No one knew of his origins, but he had massacred many people of Cold-blood Hall and had reportedly slaughtered thousands of them in the past 6 months.

Cold-blood Hall had sent people to hunt him down at least three times, but this person’s strength grew at a terrifying speed, and he always ended up killing the experts Cold-blood Hall sent after him instead.

Almost everyone knew that his defining feature was a large sabre and a shield.

Furthermore, the most shocking fact about this demon slayer was that he had no cultivation and relied on pure physical strength, physical strength so strong that it bordered on the unimaginable.

No one had expected this powerful demon slayer to come to Skymoon Country, to the imperial family’s aid.

Now it remained to be seen if this mighty demon slayer would be able to defeat experts of Lv 3 Enlightenment Realm.

The crowd was both amazed and uncertain.

“Demon slayer!” Elder Xue Yu’s eyes gleamed at the sight of this golden young man, filled with murderous intent so real that it was almost shooting out of his eyes.

Unlike the others, he was not too surprised at the appearance of the demon slayer.

Cold-blood Hall had long speculated that this person was likely connected to Su Mo, because Su Mo seemed to have also cultivated a cultivation skill that made his body glow golden with scale armor.

The similar cultivation skill led Cold-blood Hall to conclude that this person was connected to Su Mo in some way.

“Since you’re here, you will no longer be able to leave!” Elder Xue Yu scoffed, turned to face the rest, and instructed them, “First, surround the imperial palace. Do not let a single person escape!”

“Yes!” they responded and immediately spread out, surrounding the entire palace in a few moments.

Once he saw that the imperial palace was completely surrounded, he looked at the demon slayer and said with a smile, “Today will be the day you die!”

Elder Xue Yu was filled with confidence, for according to their latest news, this demon slayer only possessed combat strength of peak True Spirit Realm a month ago.

Within a month, it would be impossible for this guy to be his match, no matter how incredible his cultvation speed was!

As long as this demon slayer was not his match, there would be almost no chance of escape for despite his mighty strength, since he had no cultvation and would not be able to fly.

At his words, the demon slayer glanced at the humongous sabre in his hand expressionlessly and said coldly, “It has been a while since I killed the beasts of Cold-blood Hall. My large sabre is starved for blood!”

“You must be tired of living!” Elder Xue Yu was angered when he heard the demon slayer address those from Cold-blood Hall as beasts, and he launched his attack.

“Go to hell!” a large claw clawed out, and blood red Vital Spirit tore through the skies, heading straight for the Demon Slayer.
