Warrior’s Promise

“Is Su Mo causing trouble again?”

“How arrogant of him to challenge Xuan Feng!”

“I’ve heard that Su Mo is ranked 977th on the List of Top 1,000 Talents, right behind Xuan Feng.”

“Haha, this will be interesting. I wonder which one of them is stronger?”

“They are probably evenly matched!”

All the people on the nine peaks, except for the vacant Towering Sky Peak, rose into the air to watch the affair from afar.

Many elders were alarmed as well, and a good number of them shook their heads. “The disciples of Towering Sky Peak are truly restless. It’s difficult to decide who among them is the most arrogant!”

Hong Qingxuan and her master, Fairy of the Ninth Heaven—Qian Xunyue, were also watching Su Mo from the top of Dark Sky Peak as they stood beside the Clarity Pond.

The Clarity Pond was near the top of Dark Sky Peak, so they could see the entire Celestialspirit Sect from there.

Both of them were peerless beauties. They seemed like a pair of gorgeous sisters as they stood shoulder to shoulder. It was hard to tell that they had a master and disciple relationship.

“Master, I know that brother Su Mo’s talent is unchallenged. He’s entered the List of Top 1,000 Talents while he was only at Lv 9 Enlightenment Realm. This has never happened before in the history of the East Continent!”

Hong Qingxuan was smiling brightly. She was genuinely happy for Su Mo.

Su Mo’s pride was her pride as well!

She was not too worried for Su Mo. She knew him well.

If Su Mo wasn’t confident, he wouldn’t have challenged Xuan Feng.

“He’s indeed spectacular! He has already reached the True Darkness Realm now!” Qian Xunyue’s voice was cold and unenthusiastic.

Although Su Mo concealed his cultivation, it was not enough to fool her.

Qian Xunyue felt helpless when she thought of the bet that she had made with Su Mo before the Martial Arts Competition of the Nine Peaks.

Su Mo’s performance had totally exceeded her expectations. She couldn’t help but be startled when she heard how far Su Mo had grown.

She had lost the bet completely!

“The True Darkness Realm? Brother Su Mo has reached the True Darkness Realm?” Hong Qingxuan’s eyes lit up with joy.

Qian Xunyue nodded in response.

“Xuan’er, I won’t interfere in your relationship with Su Mo anymore. It’s all yours!”

Qian Xunyue sighed softly and continued with a frown, “However, I have to remind you that love is an obstacle to the development of your martial arts cultivation. I hope you won’t fall in too deep!”

Since she had lost the bet, she would naturally keep her promise and stop interfering with their relationship.

“Master, I know that!” Hong Qingxuan nodded helplessly, although she did not agree with her master.

She did not feel that love was an obstacle to one’s cultivation. On the contrary, she believed that love served as a motivation and a cure for the boring path of cultivation.

At this moment, Hong Qingxuan believed that her master was taking it to the extreme. She always treated love as a taboo, even though she knew nothing about love.

Perhaps her opinion would change in the future with the help of some outstanding man!

Only by experiencing love could a person know its power.

…

Su Mo stood tall above the Holy Sky Peak and waited patiently for Xuan Feng. He believed that Xuan Feng would definitely come out if he was in the sect.

Within one tower, Xuan Feng was cultivating on Holy Sky Peak. He was startled to hear Su Mo.

After which, his face turned black and a cold light shot out of his eyes.

“Su Mo, do you really think that I’m afraid of you?”

Xuan Feng was agitated. Although he had lost to Su Mo previously, he had a hidden card that could prevent Su Mo from killing him.

Though it wasn’t powerful enough to defeat Su Mo, it was sufficient enough to protect himself.

“How dare you get so full of yourself after becoming a talent on the List of Top 1,000 Talents!”

Xuan Feng stood up. Su Mo’s achievements would not cause him to refuse a challenge.

If he did, all the disciples of the sect would mock him.

Moreover, his strength had improved significantly recently. He was much stronger than he had been during the battle in Hong Domain.

As long as Su Mo had still not reached the True Darkness Realm, Xuan Feng was confident that he could hold his ground against him.

Swoosh!

Xuan Feng flew out of his tower and rocketed into the sky to stand before Su Mo.

Su Mo smiled when he saw Xuan Feng.

Xuan Feng sized Su Mo up from afar, and he was relieved to see that Su Mo was still at Lv 9 of the Enlightenment Realm.

He knew that Su Mo’s rate of improvement was terrifyingly fast, so he had been worried that Su Mo had broken through to the True Darkness Realm.

He was reassured when he found that Su Mo was still at Lv 9 of the Enlightenment Realm. In that case, he had nothing to fear.

“Su Mo, you must be sick of living. How dare you behave so outrageously near my Holy Sky Peak!” Xuan Feng yelled coldly.

“So what if I am being outrageous?”

Su Mo sneered and shouted coldly, “Xuan Feng, do you dare to accept a fight to the death!”

Before Su Mo came to Holy Sky Peak, he was afraid that Xuan Feng wouldn’t dare to show up after feeling his real cultivation level.

This was why he concealed his true cultivation with Triple Breathing Techniques and pretended like he was still at Lv 9 of the Enlightenment Realm.

“A fight to the death?” Xuan Feng frowned when he heard Su Mo, and he secretly calculated his chance of victory.

After some consideration, Xuan Feng nodded and replied coldly, “Alright. Since you are looking for a fight, I will keep you company to the end!”

Xuan Feng knew that it would be incredibly difficult to kill Su Mo. However, it was also pretty impossible for Su Mo to kill him. He was not afraid of a fight to the death.

Even if he was no match for Su Mo, he could escape at any time.

Su Mo nodded and replied with a cold smile, “In that case, you shall die now!”

As soon as his sentence ended, Su Mo attacked. Sky-crushing Sword appeared in his hand, releasing an invincible sword Qi.

This was Su Mo’s strongest move. The mighty four-colored sword Qi bridged the gap between heaven and earth, and his sword burst through the clouds.

With a remarkably fast speed, the four-colored sword Qi tore through the air and approached Xuan Feng with an overwhelming power.

“What?” Xuan Feng’s hair raised when he felt the power of Su Mo’s attack. He was completely frozen and even felt like he was going to die.

“He’s at the True Darkness Realm!” Xuan Feng was petrified when he discovered Su Mo’s real cultivation level.

He was obviously at Lv 1 of the True Darkness Realm instead of Lv 9 of the Enlightenment Realm.

As the sword Qi was about to hit him, Xuan Feng erupted his Dark Force without thinking.

“Dominative Cut!”

Xuan Feng roared loudly and struck with his saber.

The hellish white saber radiance was cold and terrifying; its mighty saber power even destroyed the air around him.

Xuan Feng’s attack was more powerful than it had been at the Skymoon Country.

However, Su Mo was nothing like before. After breaking through to the True Darkness Realm, Su Mo’s strength had escalated to a brand new level.

Boom!

Countless people watched as the sword and saber Qis collided.
