Warrior's Promise

With the massive rapier shadow swooping down from the sky and the large Spiritual Sword heading for him, Su Mo stomped down hard and shot through towards the incoming attacks.

He dodged the large Spiritual Sword and instantly neared the massive rapier shadow.

“Break!”

With a light yell, Su Mo raised the stone sword in his hand and sliced down hard. Sharp sword Radiance immediately struck heavily against the rapier shadow.

Boom!

A hollow boom sounded as the sharp sword radiance followed the motion of the stone sword and heavily struck the rapier shadow.

Boom!

Another explosion that reverberated through the starry sky occurred as the massive rapier shadow was instantly torn apart.

Shoosh!

Su Mo’s body shot through the rapier shadow as he continued to fly through the starry sky.

“Wind Thunder Attack!”

Without hesitation, Su Mo attacked again directly as his sword pierced the air in a horizontal motion.

Fierce winds blew and thunder struck elsewhere to cause the empty space within a 10 kilometer radius to shake. A sharp Sword Qi that was like lightning from the nine heavens struck down and tore the sky as it headed for Taishi Jue.

Suddenly, a sharp tearing sound split through the air from behind at the moment Su Mo attacked.

The large Spiritual Sword that he had dodged turned around and rushed towards him again. In an instant, it aimed for his back.

This Spiritual Sword was incredibly fast and Su Mo could not dodge it but had to face it head on.

Everyone who watched this scene had their hearts in their throats. Taishi Lin’s sword was strong and Su Mo had just attacked. Hence, Su Mo wouldn’t have enough time to react.

In the worst case scenario, Su Mo would be defeated by this sword attack.

With the massive Spiritual Sword about to hit him as Sword Forces filled the sky. Su Mo did not dodge, instead a blinding greyish-white light shot out of his body.

Boom!

In the next instant, the big Spiritual Sword heavily struck Su Mo’s back as a deafening explosion sounded.

Shoosh!

Su Mo’s body was forced forward uncontrollably by the strong forces and he immediately flew over a kilometer.

“What?”

“How could this be?”

“Su Mo actually used his own body to block the attack!”

“How could he have such a strong defensive body?”

In an instant, uproar filled the space as the Shenwu Academy disciples who witnessed the scene couldn’t believe their eyes.

Su Mo’s actions went against all logic. A Rank 3 Martial Honorable using his body alone to block an attack of a Rank 6 Martial Honorable was an outrageous action.

No Rank 3 Martial Honorable who wore an internal Upper Honorable armor would not voluntarily block an attack like that.

That was because the internal armor would not be able to absorb all the force from the attack. The absolute forces would completely destroy the body inside the internal armor.

However, Su Mo didn’t seem like he wore internal armor and he had used his body alone to block Taishi Lin’s Spiritual Sword.

Even Taishi Lin was shocked. Although he knew that Su Mo’s defensive strength was strong, he had not imagined that it would reach such a level.

Previously when he had used the Spiritual Sword to attack Su Mo before the gates of Shenwu Academy, the Spiritual Sword attack he executed was a hasty one and he did not use the sword array, so the Spiritual Sword attack was weak.

Yet, Taishi Lin had used all his power for this one attack. However, Su Mo still seemed unharmed and this caused panic waves to crash in Taishi Lin’s heart.

A godly defense!

Su Mo actually had such a godly defense, how could they still fight him?

Bright light also flashed in Estate Master Du, Grandmaster Huo Yuan and the other instructors’ eyes.

The brilliant light that shot out of Su Mo’s body was evidently a special body constitution.

However, what special body constitution could have such a strong defensive strength?

There were many defensive based special body constitutions on the Archean Special Body Board but there was only the fifth-ranked Indestructible Body on the list that could allow a Rank 3 Martial Honorable to block a Rank 6 Martial Honorabe’s attack like that.

Yet, it was rumoured that although the defensive strength of the Indestructible Body was unrivalled, it would radiate Indestructible Holy Light when activated.

However, it was obvious that the special body constitution that Su Mo possessed did not give off Indestructible Holy Light. That meant that Su Mo didn’t have the Indestructible Body.

But if it wasn’t the Indestructible Body, then what was Su Mo’s special body constitution for it to possess such a striking defensive strength?

Could it be a new special body constitution? A special body constitution that had not appeared on the Archean Special Body Board?

A look of wonder was worn in Estate Master Du, Grandmaster Huo Yuan and the other instructors eyes.

Right at the same time as Su Mo was thrown forward by the blow, his attack neared Taishi Jue.

Taishi Jue appeared fearless as he raised the rapier in his hand and the rapier struck the Sword Qi with a boom.

Boom!

A loud explosion occurred as the Sword Qi split apart into tiny streaks of rain that fell down in all directions.

Taishi Jue’s body jerked and he was thrown back a hundred-thousand feet away from the blow.

His face darkened and he naturally found out about Su Mo’s miraculous act of blocking Taishi Lin’s attack with his body alone. It was hard to believe that Su Mo appeared unscathed from the blow.

Taishi Jue’s face hardened to become stone. Su Mo’s absolute defense was the greatest obstacle in his way.

Su Mo hovered in the empty space without hurrying to attack.

Blocking Taishi Lin’s attack head-on did not injure him, but Su Mo was feeling unsettled.

However, he was very pleased with the defense of his special body constitution. This was the result of the merging with the Sky Bones Body together with his devouring of the Blood Heart Fruits.

Taishi Jue and Taishi Lin stopped in their places as a serious look crossed their faces. They did not dare to attack now.

Su Mo’s defensive strength had completely disheartened the two.

“Taishi Jue, what should we do? Su Mo has such a strong defensive strength, we can’t even defeat him even with the forces of heaven and earth!” Taishi Lin worriedly mind-linked Taishi Jue.

“However powerful his defensive body is, there should be a weakness to it. Furthermore, his internal aura seemed to have been disturbed in the previous attack. This meant that it is almost at its limit. As long as the two of us combine attacks, we can defeat him!” Taishi Jue mind linked Taishi Lin.

His heart was also heavy, but he could not let Taishi Lin worry. Their only hope to win now was to work together.

Su Mo stared at Taishi Lin and Taishi Jue with cold eyes. If he wanted to kill the two of them, he had to take one down first.

Taishi Lin was the better choice because both his arms were broken and he could only use the Spiritual Sword Attack. Once Su Mo closed down on him, killing him would be a piece of cake.

As long as he killed Taishi Lin first, Taishi Jue could be killed after easily.

Of course, Su Mo still had the hidden card of the Seven-colored Glazed Pagoda, but he wasn’t prepared to use that.

That was because the Seven-colored Glazed Pagoda was his ultimate weapon and he could not reveal it to others.

He understood the fact that the strong would always be targeted and harmed.

The crowd looked towards the three people hovering in mid air and sighed. No one had thought that Su Mo would win.

However, Su Mo had displayed a godly defence and it appeared that there was no way that Su Mo would lose.

If Taishi Jue and Taishi Lin could not overcome Su Mo’s defensive body, they would not win.

In the dark, starry sky, a lone figure stood in the distance, far away from the crowd.

This figure was a young man who wore a silver robe. With long hair, the man had a handsome face and his eyes were as bright as stars.

The man looked at the battle scene, staring intently at Su Mo as a dark look crossed his face.

“Devouring power!”

The young man muttered to himself. He recognized at a glance that the mysterious force that took out the 6 people of the Taishi Family was the devouring power.

He was all too familiar with the devouring power because his own Fighting Soul had the same ability.
