Warrior’s Promise

The punch that Ouyang Xiao threw out was forceful. It drew in the air from the surrounding area and condensed it into the fist force.

The vast fist force destroyed everything that came its way and it was before Su Mo in no time.

“Destroy!” Su Mo was fearless. He did not reduce his speed and slashed out hard with his sword.

Boom! Boom!

When the fist force was being slashed apart by the sword, it exploded. Horrifying shockwaves swept out in a fan-shaped, destroying part of the space.

Swoosh!

The power of the shockwaves was horrifying and even Su Mo dared not take it head-on. He quickly moved back about three meters away.

“Amazing!” Su Mo’s fighting spirit heightened. Three Phantom Avatar appeared out of his body and charged toward Ouyang Xiao.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Su Mo and the three Phantom Avatar struck at the same time and four rays of three-colored sword Qi pierced through the sky. They tore the area apart and attacked Ouyang Xiao.

The four rays of sword Qi were as powerful as the blow thrown out by a Martial King Realm martial artist and the disciples were taken back by the might.

“Great shot” Ouyang Xiao shouted. Instead of retreating, he threw out two punches. The fist force was as mighty as the mountain, and fist shadows whizzed across the horizon like a dragon.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

There were explosions as the fist force and sword Qi continued to explode and destroy each other.

“Slash! Slash! Slash!” Su Mo and the three Phantom Avatar brandished their swords relentlessly. Multiple sword Qi filled up the sky and engulfed the entire fighting ring.

The dazzling three-colored sword radiance reflected three beautiful colors in the heavens, making it look splendid and magnificent.

Ouyang Xiao struck ravingly and as the fist shadows flew around, the vast fist force destroyed the void. It was like a torrential river and a raging sea, and it looked majestic.

In the twinkle of an eye, the fighting ring had been enveloped by the sword Qi and fist shadows. As it continued to explode, destructive shockwaves raged out and swept all over the place.

The crowd could no longer see Su Mo and Ouyang Xiao as they had been concealed by the chaotic Qi strength.

Even if they had released their spiritual consciousness, they would not be able to see through the destructive turmoil.

“They’re so powerful! I’m amazed that both Senior Brother Ouyang and Mo Su are equally powerful!”

“Who do you think will win?”

“It’s hard to say. Although it’s not possible for Mo Su to defeat Senior Brother Ouyang, he’s still going strong. You never know!”

“Comparatively, Mo Su is still more talented!”

“That’s right! I’m really angry with him for being so presumptuous but his combat force is indeed amazing. His cultivation is only at Lv 6 True Darkness Realm but he’s able to contend with Senior Brother Ouyang!”

The crowd started to talk among themselves as they stared at the fighting ring, trying hard to find out the progress of the fight.

Boom! Boom!

Earth-shattering explosions continued to burst out and the people saw two shadowy figures flickering around the fighting ring as the turbulent airflow swept out together with the destructive Qi strength.

Boom!

At the sound of another explosion, the two of them stopped.

When the Qi strength dissipated, the fighting ring resumed its tranquility, and the people saw Su Mo and Ouyang Xiao.

Both of them were in a sorry state.

Su Mo’s hair was in a mess and his clothes were torn into pieces, revealing the golden scale armor that he had put on.

As for Ouyang Xiao, his clothes were torn and he had a cut on his shoulder, with some bloodstains.

“Who has won?”

“I have no idea!”

“It seems to be a draw!”

The disciples sized the two of them up and tried hard to single out the winner. However, the two of them were evenly matched and it was impossible to tell who had won.

“Mo Su, I truly admire you. Your cultivation is only at Lv 6 True Darkness Realm but you have such an amazing combat strength!” Ouyang Xiao looked at Su Mo and looked perplexed. He was startled by Su Mo.

Although Ouyang Xiao was a disciple of the Outer Palace, the Lv 1 Martial King Realm martial artists in the Inner Palace wereno match for him.

Su Mo’s cultivation was only at Lv 6 True Darkness Realm but he could contend with him till now. Ouyang Xiao saluted him for his great combat strength.

Although he did not like Su Mo’s arrogance, he had to admit that Su Mo was powerful!

“You’re good too!” Su Mo said in a low voice. Ouyang Xiao was the most powerful talent that he had ever met so far.

When Ouyang Xiao heard it, he shook his head. Since his cultivation was already at Half Step to Martial King Realm, it made sense for him to have such a great strength.

“You’re the second person in the entire Emperor Xuan Palace who has gained my respect!” Ouyang Xiao said.

When Su Mo heard it, he was curious and asked, “Who’s the first?”

“It’s Shangguan Hao, the Holy Son!” Ouyang Xiao said, “The Holy Son has great talents and there’s no one like him. His Martial Soul is talented, and he possesses the Divine Sun Body. He can absorb the essence from the sun, and his talent and strength are simply amazing!”

Ouyang Xiao was full of admiration and respect for Shangguan Hao.

Shangguan Hao was a legend in Emperor Xuan Palace. His advancement in cultivation was amazing and he had great combat strength.

When he was 17 years old, he had already been listed on the List of Top 10,000 Continental Talents. After that, he advanced swiftly and vigorously and had defeated many Supreme Talents.

Over the years, he continued to move up the List of 10,000 Talents, up to the current rank.

As for the four top powers before Shangguan Hao, they were much older than him and had reached the Martial Royal Realm.

In the Firmament World, Shangguan Hao was the most powerful top power among those below the Martial Royal Realm.

“The Divine Sun Body?”

When Su Mo heard it, he squinted his eyes. Although he did not know what kind of body constitution it was, he knew that it must be something powerful as the name suggested.

If it was an ordinary body constitution, it would not be referred to as a Divine Body!

Su Mo’s heart sank. He had never expected Shangguan Hao to possess such a special body constitution and he felt more pressurized.

Su Mo then pushed his worries aside and thought to himself.

Does it matter that he possesses the Divine Body?

When he steps into the Martial King Realm and has cultivated the Natal Spiritual Sword, even if he can’t set up any powerful arrays, he’ll be able to contend with Shangguan Hao with a simple sword formation.

There were many ancient Natal Swordcraft Techniques recorded in the Natal Spiritual Sword Formation and these would be Su Mo’s trump cards in dealing with Shangguan Hao.

Su Mo looked at Ouyang Xiao and asked in a deep voice, “Are we continuing with the fight?”

“Of course!” Ouyang Xiao nodded and said, “Since we have started, we’ll have to know who wins!”

Although Ouyang Xiao admired Su Mo’s combat strength, they had to continue with the fight. He had to safeguard his position as the number one top power in the Outer Palace.

Having said that, Ouyang Xiao’s body shook and a huge gray figure rose up from behind him.

Ouyang Xiao had released his Martial Soul.
