Warrior’s Promise

Ouyang Xiao’s Martial Soul was a giant stoneman with a height of more than 33 meters. It seemed that the whole body was composed of rocks and was full of strength.

Furthermore, the Martial Soul, the stoneman, was Rank 3 Heaven Class!

After releasing the stoneman Martial Soul, Ouyang Xiao conjured his aura, and stony rays radiated from his body.

“Mo Su, release your Martial Soul!” Ouyang Xiao exclaimed.

Su Mo shook his head upon hearing that, as he did not plan to use his Devouring Martial Soul.

Although the Devouring Martial Soul had reached Heaven Class, given the huge cultivation gap between the opponents, his Devouring Martial Soul would not help much. It would be impossible to defeat Ouyang Xiao if he wanted to rely on his Martial Soul.

Su Mo’s Dark Force had temporarily stopped its integration for it had been merging for too long. However, Su Mo did not hesitate before he merged them again.

Right then, he launched the Three Secret Techniques, and 30% of his essence, qi and spirit was drained.

The loss of thirty percent of the essence, qi and spirit would be harmless to Su Mo, but could triple his strength, which would help him in his fight against Ouyang Xiao.

Buuuzz!

Su Mo’s Dark Force bubbled within him, and this violently stirred the air currents around him.

Powerful aura surged up to the sky, and an area with a radius of a few hundred miles was pervaded by the mighty pressure.

“Secret Combat Skill!” Seeing this, Ouyang Xiao squinted, as he did not think that Su Mo possessed a secret combat skill. Now defeating him would be tough!

Judging from Su Mo’s aura, Ouyang Xiao knew Su Mo had tripled in strength. Whereas his combat strength had only doubled, though he had a powerful Martial Soul.

“Ouyang Xiao, if this is all you’ve got, you will lose for sure!” Su Mo said flatly, as he knew it would be easy to defeat his opponent after using the Three Secret Techniques.

Ouyang Xiao looked solemn, and he said softly, “You never know who wins until the last moment!”

So Mo chuckled and launched a strike without further response.

Slash!

As he yelled, Sky-crushing Sword’s three-colored sword Qi separated the space and rushed towards Ouyang Xiao with the intention to kill.

Although the sword looked ordinary, the power it possessed was no longer the same as it was before.

The enormous sword power and terrifying force shook the whole fighting ring violently. Cracks began to spread outwards from the center of the fighting ring.

Witnessing this, countless disciples were astonished, as the fighting ring was meant to be well-protected with a powerful defensive formation. There had never been any Outer Palace disciple damaging the fighting ring for the countless years it had been here.

But right now, the fight ring was disintegrating with just a single strike from Mo Su!

That implied that Mo Su’s combat strength had surpassed all the Outer Palace disciples, even those from countless years before!

On the stage, Ouyang Xiao felt unprecedented pressure facing Su Mo’s strike.

“Stoneman protection!” Ouyang Xiao bellowed, as he eyed the sword Qi, which was rushing over at a terrifying speed.

His Martial Soul, the stoneman, rapidly shrunk to the size of a normal person, overlapping with his body.

Ouyang Xiao’s body was immediately turned into that of a stone man and brimmed with immense power.

“Break!”

As the sword Qi approached, Ouyang Xiao immediately threw a punch at the three-colored sword Qi, causing a blast in the space.

Boom!

With a loud explosion, the force shattered, and the earth trembled. Ouyang Xiao was thrown backwards.

Whoosh!

Ouyang Xiao flew several hundred meters, and only stopped at the edge of the fighting ring after much struggle.

Whew! Whew! Whew!

At that moment, three streams of sword Qi followed Ouyang Xiao. Su Mo had struck again, mercilessly.

The three enormous sword Qi formed a triangle and pushed forward, reaching Ouyang Xiao in an instant.

“What?” Ouyang Xiao was completely horrified as he was unable to withstand the attack!

Each sword Qi was more powerful than the last. Any attempt by Ouyang Xiao to block them would lead to injury or death.

Ouyang Xiao gritted his teeth as his body was knocked back, and withdrew hastily from the fighting ring.

“Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!”

The sword Qi sped over Ouyang Xiao’s head and cut into a mountain hundreds of miles away.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The mountain split due to the power of the sword Qi, revealing three huge canyons.

Silence filled the fighting ring. No one could believe what they had just seen.

Ouyang Xiao had lost!

The arrogant Mo Su actually defeated the whole Outer Palace!

The scene had shaken everyone present, and with frantic looks in their eyes, they focused their gaze on Su Mo on the stage.

Before Su Mo presented his invincibility and power, he was disliked by everyone as they thought he was arrogant.

But now, Su Mo had proved himself, and no longer was he thought of as an arrogant person.

Such was the world. Everything was judged based on strength; the stronger you were, the more respected you were.

In the fighting ring, Su Mo stood upright. As Ouyang Xiao had been defeated, Su Mo had no need to look at him.

At the moment, Su Mo was expecting the arrival of certain individuals.

“Swoosh!”

Within a couple of seconds, the silence was broken by the sound of something approaching rapidly.

“There they are!”

Su Mo was delighted, but quickly suppressed his excitement and tried to maintain a calm disposition.

“WHOOSH!”

With a sudden flash, a figure in brown appeared in front of Su Mo.

Su Mo looked on intently. It appeared to be a slightly chubby, middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man was around forty years old, with a gentle smile on his face and no detectable aura. He looked like a kind uncle who lived next door.

“Your name is Mo Su?” Asked the middle-aged man with a smile.

“Disciple Mo Su salutes you, Elder!” Su Mo immediately cupped his hands in respect, and bowed at the middle-aged man.

In actual fact, Su Mo was not sure if the man was an elder from Emperor Xuan Palace, and had in fact, guessed that there was no mistake, before immediately saluting him.

“Well!”

The middle-aged man nodded slightly, sized up Su Mo, and asked, “Mo Su! You are very talented. Who is your master?”

Su Mo immediately realized that this man was indeed an Emperor Xuan Palace elder since he did not correct Su Mo.

“Elder, I do not have a master. I have been cultivating my skills alone!” Su Mo said with a low voice.

Su Mo had been waiting for an opportunity to have a master, so how could he admit that he had any?

In fact, Su Mo only recognized Elder Wei as his master. As for Huangfu Qing, Su Mo had cut off all ties with him, severing their relationship as master and apprentice, when he attempted to control Su Mo.

“He he!”

The middle-aged man heard Sumo’s response and chuckled, “Would you like to be my disciple, by any chance, since you do not have a master?”

The middle-aged man looked at Su Mo eagerly, as he was confident Su Mo would not refuse and would not dare to refuse his offer!

He had planned to take Su Mo in as a disciple since Tang Ao’s defeat, as it would be a waste of talented young man if he did not become one of his disciples.

Su Mo was happy upon receiving the offer, and could not help showing his delight.

This was what he was waiting for!

Now, finally, it was here!

“I…!”

Right when Su Mo was about to accept the offer, a sudden shift of events occurred!
