Warrior's Promise

Ling Chang turned to Quan Ruhai for help during this critical moment.

‘This made Su Mo, who was preparing to attack, come to a stop. Ling Chang actually called for Quan Ruhai again.

Quan Ruhai had now gotten a hundred meters away from the Dosu Tree. He felt ecstatic hearing her voice.

This was his chance to show her what he could do!

Wasn’t this the best chance to save the damsel in distress?

Whoosh!

At rapid speed, he arrived at Ling Chang’s side in a blink of an eye. He looked around at the four surrounding her and Su Mo.

“The four of you are quite bold to think about taking the Dosu Fruit in front of me!” Quan Ruhai shouted at them icily.

“How unruly!”

“Ridiculous!”

“One last time, hand over the Dogu Fruit!”

‘The four spoke at once. They neither feared nor knew Quan Ruhai.

The four of them thought they could beat the trio hands down, whether it was in terms of training or numbers.

Quan Ruhai was well known in the Palmy Branch, and quite famous too in the dozens of branches around it, but not so much in the whole of the Ancient Cloud Star Alliance.

‘These four were from a branch located far away from the Palmy Branch. They did not know who Quan Ruhai was, so they attacked at first sight.

There were still others near the Dosu Tree who came for the Dosu Fruit, but they did not attack Quan Ruhai because they knew him and how powerful he was.

“You’re asking for it!” Quan Ruhai raged. The four were ruining his chances in front of the lady, so he went on the offence.

Boom!

Quan Ruhai’s hands moved together and fired at them with both palms.

The palms, which were as huge as lofts, completely enveloped the four within the attack range.

Quan Ruhai showed no mercy. He used nearly all of his strength and boosted his palms with incredible power.

‘The strong Rule power contained in his palms belonged to the Sun Rule.

‘The power of the sun!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Confronted by Quan Ruhai’s attack, the four disciples attempted to block it, but ultimately they were unable to.

There was a series of explosions as the four of them shot out.

‘Three of them, whose levels were at Ninth Grade, High Rank, stepped back a thousand feet. The sole member, who was at Ninth Grade, Middle Rank, was directly shot dozens of miles away, blood dripping from his mouth.

“He’s that strong?” The four of them exchanged glances in shock as they considered retreating.

‘They understood they could not defeat this Quan Ruhai. They had hit a snag this time.

‘They quickly scampered away from Quan Ruhai, keeping their distances as they retreated to the other side of the Dosu Tree.

“Hmmph, do you really plan to take the Dosu Fruit with skills like that?”

Quan Ruhai was pleased to see that the four did not dare to challenge him. He would not let go of the chance to show off, so he exclaimed, “Fine. Since you didn’t harm my junior Xuan Qing anyway, I’m letting you off this time.”

With that, he turned to face Ling Chang and grinned with confidence, “Junior Xuan Qing, like I said, as long as I’m here, you can rest assured, I won’t let any harm come to you.”

“You were awesome, Senior Quan!” Ling Chang praised him.

“Hehe, nothing but four petty pieces. A piece of cake!” Quan Ruhai gloated.

“Then I’m at ease!” Ling Chang nodded.

“Good!” Quan Ruhai nodded, then he turned to Su Mo, “Wu Shan, you don’t have what it takes to protect Junior Xuan Qing. It’s best you get a Dosu Fruit!”

Quan Ruhai found Su Mo terribly annoying. He had not done anything and yet he got to stay by the lady’s side. Obviously he was trying to get into Xuan Qing’s good books.

“There’s no rush!” Su Mo merely shook his head, but secretly he snorted. Quan Ruhai only knew how to act cool in front of Ling Chang, not knowing that he himself was just a silly fawner.

“Hehe, when all the Dosu Fruits are gone, it’ll be too late!” Quan Ruhai snickered coldly, then turned towards the Dosu Tree.

In his opinion, Su Mo might have incredible talents and combat power, but in the end his training was only at Ninth Grade, Middle Rank. A bunch of martial artists had gathered here, most of whom were at Ninth Grade, High Rank. it was not realistic to think he could get one Dosu Fruit.

The people around them were secretly paying attention to Quan Ruhai, Ling Chang, and Su Mo. They had witnessed Quan Ruhai defeat the four men easily, displaying his formidable strength, and so they suppressed their desire.

‘They were unsure of whether they could defeat Quanruhai, so they would rather give up on the Dosu Fruit in Ling Chang’s possession, the one that contained the Life and Death Rule.

“My turn!” Su Mo faced Ling Chang and said.

By then, a lot more people were already within five feet of the Dosu Fruit. If he did not act now, most of the Fruits would be snatched away.

It would be hard to take them back when that happened, unless he could defeat the hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands, of people.

“Yes, do what you can!” Ling Chan nodded. She said that not because she looked down on Su Mo, but because his desire to take all the Dosu Fruits from ten thousand competitors was unrealistic to begin with.

So, it was best to act within his means and only take as much as he could.

Su Mo nodded gently and, with a step, soared to the sky twenty thousand feet above the ground.

Then, he strode to the Dosu Tree and soon arrived right above it.

Su Mo did not encounter any obstructions from the Dosu Tree because he flew high, staying eight thousand feet above it.

And then, Su Mo sat down, cross-legged, in the air above the tree.

“What’s he up to?”

“He’s Wu Shan, Reverend Jin Wu’s newest disciple, the one who killed Zang Renjie last time!”

“Does he have special methods to get the Dosu Fruit?”

“Let’s see what he’s doing.”

Around the Dosu Tree, many people whispered as they observed Su Mo’s actions.

‘Those who were advancing towards the Dosu Fruit were even less in the know. They had no idea what Su Mo was planning.

Qiu Yuanshan and several disciples of the Palmy branch were working to get close to the Dosu Fruit. They spotted Su Mo but did not pay him much attention. Their goal was to get to their destination first.

“That idiot!” Quan Ruhai looked up at Su Mo, snickering coldly. Did the man think he could get the Dosu Fruit just by flying up there?

If that was not stupidity, what was?

The Dosu Tree had high intelligence. Regardless of the direction, the Dosu Tree would attack upon sensing approach. Flying in the sky would not help.

“Is he planning to devour the Dosu Tree as well?” Ling Chang thought when the idea flashed in her eyes. She knew Su Mo’s abilities very well. It was also easy for her to guess his plan.

But devouring the Dosu Tree was a bit much.

‘The Dosu Tree was a sacred tree jointly nurtured by the many strong individuals of the Ancient Cloud Star Alliance to train and test their disciples.

If Su Mo really devoured it, there would be big trouble.

But Ling Chang did not intercept. Whether Su Mo could devour the Tree was another story. Even if he did, he might not be able to take it with him. It would be fine if he took all the Dosu Fruits from the Tree.

Hum~

It was then that Su Mo made his move. He triggered his Devouring Primordial Spirit and the Devouring Rule at the same time. There was a turbulence in the void as the tremendous Devouring Power enveloped the Dosu Tree.

Next, the boundless fog within tens of thousands of feet instantly heated up like boiling water..
