Warrior’s Promise

Su Mo right now was on par with, or maybe even stronger than Xue Tianqiong.

He was confident enough to believe he could defeat or kill Xue Tianqiong. The attack earlier was just to gauge his current strength, which he was now well aware of.

Su Mo attacked together with his three phantom avatars, and the power they released together was earth-shattering.

As four rays of three-colored sword Qi streaked across the sky and the Space was shredded into tiny shards, which showed how powerful it was!

“This..!” Xue Tianqiong was stunned. He didn’t expect Su Mo to have so many hidden cards. Those four rays of sword Qi had the strength equivalent to four Su Mos.

“Destroy!” Xue Tianqiong might have been stunned, but he didn’t retreat. He waved his hands and a bloody river flowed from his body. This bloody river was vast and with strong currents, rushed toward the four rays of sword Qi.

Puff! Puff! Puff!

The four rays of sword Qi tore the bloody river open. The river turned into tiny blood currents, which dissipated everywhere.

After destroying the sea of blood, it continued its powerful trajectory toward Xue Tianqiong and approached him in an instant.

“Oh no!” Xue Tianqiong was alarmed and quickly slashed out. A blood-red radiance flashed and blocked the path of the oncoming sword Qi.

Boom!

There was a string of explosions and the blood-red saber Qi immediately shattered together with the sword Qi from the three phantom avatars. However, the sword Qi from Su Mo himself was just too strong, and struck Xue Tianqiong after destroying the saber Qi.

Bang!

There was a loud explosion, and an arm was seen sailing through the air.

The sword Qi had hacked off Xue Tianqiong’s left arm, and blood spurted out from his wound.

“Ah!” Xue Tianqiong cried out, his face as white as a sheet.

If not for the fact that he hastily turned his body at the crucial moment, he would have been sliced into two!

“My arm!” various expressions flashed across Xue Tianqiong’s face. Now that he had lost an arm, there will definitely be a sharp drop in his strength!

“Die!” Su Mo did not hesitate and his three phantom avatars charged at Xue Tianqiong. His sword Qi burst forth as he slashed out repeatedly.

A myriad of sword Qi rained down, forming a powerful tempest that headed for Xue Tianqiong.

The tempest was extremely powerful and shredded the Space into nothingness. The boundless sword power swept across the surroundings.

“His strength is terrifying!” Xue Tianqiong stared, his eyes widening in surprise. He suddenly felt like he would not be able to withstand this blow.

Now that he was severely weakened after losing an arm, there was no way he could block this blow.

Whoosh!

Xue Tianqiong did not have the time to inspect his injuries. He endured the pain and quickly retreated even as he continued to slash out with his curved saber, which unleashed rays of sharp blood-colored saber Qi.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

There was a string of explosions and all the saber Qi was destroyed. The powerful sword Qi neared Xue Tianqiong in an instant.

“How could that be?” Xue Tianqiong turned pale. He would be immediately shredded into pieces.

Boom!

Large blood-colored fist prints appeared that continually attacked the sword Qi tempest. Loud explosions rang out.

“Senior Brother, run!” Mo Qing, who had been watching the battle, finally made his move. He struck out with both fists, sending out many large fist prints in an attempt to block the sword Qi tempest.

Mo Qing might not be as strong as Xue Tianqiong but he too also had the strength of a Martial King realm martial artist and managed to slow down the speed of the sword Qi tempest, buying some time for Xue Tianqiong.

Whoosh!

Xue Tianqiong immediately dodged the attack and flew to where Mo Qing was.

“Senior Brother, Su Mo is just too strong. Would it be better for us to retreat?” Mo Qing asked with a frown. He had assumed that Su Mo would be easy to kill, not expecting Su Mo to display strength of such an incredible level. Now, not only did they fail to kill him, they have also landed themselves in danger.

Various expressions flashed past Xue Tianqiong’s face. He was loathe to leave just like that!

After all, Xue Mo was killed by Su Mo. If they weren’t able to kill Su Mo, how were they going to face the Blood Emperor?

However, now that he had lost an arm, his strength was greatly diminished. The chances of killing Su Mo were far too slim.

“Xue Tianqiong, Mo Qing, today is the day you die!” Su Mo cried, his face full of killing desire as he shot toward the duo.

Xue Tianqiong clenched his jaw and said, “Let’s go!”

The duo started to tear the air apart as they fled for their lives.

Swoosh! Swoosh!

They moved extremely quickly and were 50 kilometers away in an instant.

“You’ve been so persistent in your pursuit in your bid to kill me earlier. Don’t even think about leaving!” Su Mo’s eyes flashed with killing desire. He flew on his Spiritual Sword and followed closely behind.

Now that his cultivation was at Lv 5 True Darkness Realm, Su Mo’s speed on his spiritual sword was much faster than before, at least 20% faster than he was earlier.

“Damn!” Xue Tianqiong was livid to see Su Mo chasing after them, but he didn’t dare to stop.

“Mo Qing, Blood-fleeing Skill!” Xue Tianqiong said to Mo Qing. They immediately transformed into two rays of blood radiance. The blood radiance burst forth and shot everywhere at incredible speed.

“This again!” Su Mo stopped his pursuit and frowned. He had seen this once before at Hong Domain, and had thought it was a mysterious technique.

The technique, when used by Xue Tianqiong and Mo Qing was even more powerful.

They both transformed into hundreds of blood radiance that shot everywhere. There was no way he would be able to pin them down.

Su Mo sighed inwardly. So be it! He didn’t have the luxury of time to chase after them.

Su Mo immediately left that place and disappeared deep into the forest.

Within the Divine Map Realm, Su Mo sat cross-legged in the yard, his eyes tightly shut as he peered into his elixir field.

There was a faint golden Qi strength resting under one of his spiritual spirals.

This was the Qi strength left by Huangfu Qing.

Su Mo was about to attempt to destroy this Qi strength, or his freedom would be curtailed.

However, it was as if this Qi strength had taken root in his Spiritual Spiral. No matter how he turned his Spiritual Spiral, it just refused to move.

Su Mo tried to use his Dark Force to attack this Qi strength, but using his Dark Force was like throwing an egg against a rock. His Dark Force immediately broke apart upon contact with the Qi strength.

As a Martial Emperor Realm expert, Huangfu Qing was incredibly strong. Not even Lv 7 or 8 Martial King Realm experts would be able to destroy this Qi strength.

Su Mo’s heart sank.

He had already been making preparations to head to Central Continent. Now that he was under Huangfu Qing’s control, there was no way he’d be able to go!

“Huangfu Qing!” Su Mo’s eyes opened again and glowed with divine light.

He had always respected Huangfu Qing as his master, but now, all respect for him was gone!

“I will never live under someone else’s control!” Su Mo murmured to himself. He had reached a decision.
