Warrior's Promise

The three other men were also confused by Su Mo’s words.

After a while, they finally understood what Su Mo meant and were immediately enraged.

“A worm like you! So arrogant! Do you want to die?”

“Such big talk!”

“Are you tired of living?”

With killing desire on their faces, they thundered toward Su Mo, about to take action because a worm in the Emperor-to-be Realm dared to extort them. Was he courting death?

The young man in luxurious clothes motioned with his hand to temporarily stop the other three.

Staring at Su Mo coldly, the man teased and said, “I really want to know where your courage is coming from.”

The man was not stupid. Since Su Mo had the ability to be admitted to the Shenwu Academy, his talent must be outstanding as well.

Seeing Su Mo dare to talk big, it appeared he had reason to be confident. The young man thought twice about hastily attacking.

“Leave the storage rings, and then… go away!” Su Mo ignored the man’s question and spoke flatly.

“You’re digging your own grave!” The man’s face darkened completely. He had planned to sound Su Mo out, but he never thought Su Mo would be so reckless.

The young man had tried to extort them because they were relatively weak. To his surprise, he was being extorted in return.

Roar!

A long saber appeared on the man’s hand. Like a dense fire beacon, his surging aura roared out and dashed up to the sky, changing the wind and cloud dramatically and causing a gale.

Mountainous waves surged on the sea surface around the small island and rolled up in all directions.

“It seems you won’t give them up!” Su Mo said upon seeing this. He immediately charged toward the young man in luxurious clothes like a flash of lightning.

He was close to the young man in luxurious clothes, so almost in a blink, he had reached the man. In the next second, a dazzling three-colored sword radiance rose to the sky and hacked in rage.

This was an all-out stroke. Without any restraint, Su Mo applied almost all his physical strength in the stroke.

With great strength, his long sword split space and stabbed toward the young man’s head.

“What?” The young man in luxurious clothes was appalled as he had never thought Su Mo would be this powerful even though he had guessed Su Mo would have the strength of the Martial Emperor Realm.

He hastily raised his long saber to block.

Clang!

The saber and the sword clashed, generating a deafeningly loud bang.

Violent power poured out like a vast, limitless river.

Ah!

The young man in luxurious clothes shrieked horribly as blood spurted from his mouth and was sent flying.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

The moment the young man was forced to fly back, gleams of sword radiance emerged on his neck.

More than twenty Natal Spiritual Swords were on the man’s neck so that he immediately lost all ability to resist.

Swoosh!

Forced backward for several miles, the young man in luxurious clothes paled as his body was pushed over to the surface of the sea.

“What…!” The three other men were struck dumb at the man’s instant failure.

One move!

The martial artist in the second Martial Emperor Realm was defeated by the martial artist in the Emperor-to-be Realm in an instant.

Nie Qian and Han Ying marveled at Su Mo’s strength, even though they already knew about it.

“You… why are you so strong?” The young man in luxurious clothes asked shakily as he saw more than twenty Spiritual Swords on his neck.

He was almost overwhelmed by Su Mo’s attack. He had already lost before he could even demonstrate his strength.

“Are you hand it over or not?” Su Mo stared at him and asked coldly.

He did not kill the man but just demand that he surrender the storage ring.

Su Mo felt he had no choice because he was not sure whether he could kill the three other men if he killed the young man in luxurious clothes.

Each of the three men was a martial artist in Rank 2 Martial Emperor Realm. If they wanted to escape, Su Mo would be unable to resist all of them.

The reason he was able to beat the young man in luxurious clothes instantly was that he attacked the man by surprise. Otherwise, it would have taken at least five or six moves to knock him down.

Had he killed the man and one of the three other men escaped, he would be in great trouble.

With a charge of murdering the Academy’s disciple, perhaps he could narrowly survive from the penalty of death, but he would not be spared from severe punishment.

Thus, Su Mo refrained from taking the young man’s life. Otherwise, the man would have already died!

“I’ll give! I’ll give everything to you!” The young man in luxurious clothes kept nodding as he spoke.

No kidding!

What were some treasures compared to life?

The young man promptly took off his storage ring and then bent his fingers to flick it. The storage ring shot toward Su Mo like a sharp arrow.

Su Mo took the storage ring and threw a glance at the three other men. He asked, “What about yours?”

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Before Su Mo finished speaking, the three men had immediately knocked back, distancing themselves hundreds of miles from Su Mo.

They did not run away,however, because the young man in luxurious clothes was still under Su Mo’s sword.

“You dared to plunder blatantly!”

“Let Brother He go!”

“Let him go, or we’ll make you release him!”

They scolded and threatened angrily, filled with killing desire. Had they not been in fear of Su Mo’s strength, they would have assaulted him without hesitation.

Su Mo felt ridiculous about their words: they came to extort first, but now they accused him of robbing them.

“Hand over your storage rings within three breaths, or I will kill him!” Su Mo said coldly.

“You’re courting death…!” The three men were furious upon hearingSu Mo’s words. They would neither hand over their storage rings nor watch the young man in luxurious clothes die without doing anything.

“No, please give your storage rings to him. I will pay for all of your losses!” The young man in luxurious clothes screamed. All he wanted was to save his life regardless of the cost.

“This…!” The three men hesitated, wondering when the young man in luxurious clothes would pay for their losses.

“We have known each other for so long and have gone through thick and thin, don’t you believe me?” The young man cried again.

The three other men believed they had a good relationship with the young man and naturally tended to believe him.

However, handing over their storage rings voluntarily was both a tremendous loss and a great shame.

After being silent for a while, they looked at each other and sighed helplessly. They had no choice but suffer the loss today, but they would seek vengeance on Su Mo one day!

“Your Excellency, We will give you the storage rings. We hope you can keep your word and let him go immediately!” One of the three shouted.

“Of course!” Su Mo nodded.

They reluctantly took off their storage rings and gave them to Su Mo one after the other.

“Go away!” Su Mo said. He casually looked at the storage rings and then retracted the twenty Natal Spiritual Swords on the young man’s neck.

“Let’s go!”

The moment the young man was free, he called out to them and then rushed away like a flash of lightning.

The four of them fled so quickly that they were at the horizon within a breath.

“Just you wait! I’ll make you pay for my humiliation 100 times or 1,000 times over!”

The young man in luxurious clothes roared furiously from the distance, shaking the surroundings within tens of thousands of miles.

On the island, staring at their disappearing figures, Su Mo could not help but sigh inwardly—there would be more trouble in the future.

Since he could not kill all of them, he had no choice but to set them free.
