Warrior's Promise

Translator: Transn  Editor: Transn

Su Mo sat cross-legged with carefully reading a book in hand- the Book of the Sky Sword, as he awaited the arrival of Shangguan Yun.

It would be ideal if Shangguan Yun did not show up. If Shangguan Yun did show up, however, he would not be afraid.

He had to face whatever trouble came his way.

On the other hand, considered taking advantage of this opportunity to demonstrate his strength. If an elder saw that his strength rivalled a Martial King Realm expert, would that elder let him be an Inner Palace disciple?

If he made it to the Inner Palace, he might be able to meet Xi’er since Shangguan Hao was in seclusion now!

In that case, he had reason to hype up the issue he faced despite how risky it was to do so.

He thought about it for a while, but decided to let things happen naturally.

As long as Shangguan Hao stayed in seclusion while the 13th Elder did not show up, nobody could recognize him.

Time passed by and Su Mo did away with any distractions and tried to understand the Book of the Sky Sword.

There were originally nine moves, and he was reading about the three remaining moves: the Firmament-ripping Sword, the Sky-stretching Sword, and the Netherworld-crushing Sword.

Each move was stronger than the other and was more profound and obscure as if it contained the secrets of the universe.

“Are Lv 7 martial arts techniques really so profound?”

Su Mo’s eyebrows furrowed slightly. He felt that there was some kind of Ultimacy that existed within those moves. If he could not understand the Ultimacy, he would never succeed in practising those moves.

Su Mo had underestimated the difficulty in mastering those techniques and hence, felt was feeling helpless.

Since those techniques could not be understood within a short period of time, Su Mo halted his efforts temporarily and moved on to upgrading his Cultivation level.

He then picked up the bundle of jade slips, activated his Spiritual Spirals and started cultivating.

At that moment, a loud noise filled the air, rattling everything in the vicinity.

“Poom!”

The door of Su Mo’s tower had shattered into pieces, leaving a cloud of wood chips and dust in the air.

Two youths stood outside the tower. Su Mo recognised one of them to be Shangguan Yun, but did not recognise the other, although he was was robust and tall.

When Su Mo detected the cultivation level of the burly young man, he almost laughed out loud.

Peak Lv 7 True Darkness Realm!

How could Shangguan Yun ask a Peak Lv 7 True Darkness Realm disciple to deal with him!

If this happened in the East Continent, people would laugh at Shangguan Yun.

However, they were in the Central Continent, and nobody knew the actual combat strength of Su Mo.

In Shangguan Yun’s eyes, a Peak Lv 7 True Darkness Realm martial artist was totally enough to defeat Su Mo!

“Get the fu*k out!” Shangguan Yun thundered intensely.

Su Mo snorted coldly, stood up, and strode to the door.

At that point, several disciples had left of their towers to take in the scene.

In fact, a few disciples had gathered early as they had correctly predicted that something was about to happen.

“Kid, I don’t care who you are. Today, I’ll make sure you get what you deserve!” Shangguan Yun’s threatened, looking at Su Mo pointedly.

Shangguan Yun would never let Su Mo go easily!

“Sorry, I’m afraid that you don’t have the strength to do this!”

Su Mo stood 30 meters away from Shangguan Hao, who was merely a clown in his eyes.

“Humph! But he does!”

Shangguan Yun sneered and said to the burly youth, “Brother Yi, I’ll leave him to you. You can do whatever you want!”

He then stepped back to reveal the burly youth.

He was quite confident about this burly youth and thought that Su Mo was definitely no match for his helper.

“Dude, what’s your name?”

The helper sized Su Mo up, his expression dripping with contempt.

“Mo Su!” Su Mo said coldly, his face perfectly calm.

“Good!”

The helper nodded and said, “Mo Su, if you kowtow and apologize to brother Shangguan Yun, I’ll not hurt you!”

His mouth curved. He was just taunting Su Mo.

He knew that Su Mo was an excellent talent and would never kowtow to apologize.

No young, talented martial artist would throw away his dignity by kowtowing to someone!

That was an insult which brought sheer humiliation!

“I know what’s on your mind.” Su Mo said casually.

“What is it?” The helper answered without missing a beat.

“Dog Sh*t. Your head must have been stuffed with dog sh*t!” Su Mo answered affirmatively while nodding his head.

Su Mo’s words startled the helper, who was not expecting such a reply. How dare Su Mo offend him at this point?

“Brother Yi, cut the bullsh*t. Do it!” Shangguan Yun exclaimed.

The burly young man immediately returned to his senses, his eyes blazing with anger.

“Mo Su, you are asking for death!”

The youth snarled and charged at Su Mo, before aiming a punch at his face.

The punch bore weight as heavy as a mountain, and it wielded unimaginable power, zooming in on Su Mo’s pupil.

If this punch directly hit Su Mo’s face, his head would definitely be smashed in even if his physical strength was formidable.

The fist was about to meet Su Mo’s face when his eyes released two streams of dim light that surged towards the helper’s eyes.

Immediately, the youth paused and stood motionless in front of Su Mo.

“Eh… What’s going on?” Shangguan Yun stared with mouth agape and looking utterly confused.

“What happened to Yi Kun? Why did he stop?”

“What’s going on?”

“What the…”

The crowd was also confused.

They were not stupid and knew that it was probably some weird trick.

When they were still trying to figure out the situation, the burly youth’s body started to shake.

“Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!”

Blood spilt out his mouth in thrice, painting the ground red.
