Warrior's Promise

Zhan Luan sneered when he heard what Su Mo had to say. He replied, "It doesn't matter. You are only qualified to fight me if you show your greatest strength!"

Zhan Luan did not mind because his cultivation strength was not much weaker than his physical strength.

As such, it did not matter whether they fought using their overall strength or their physical strength. He was completely unafraid.

"Alright then, let's fight!" Su Mo said coldly. His aura suddenly rose and the vigorous Dark Force was like a gushing river, flowing into his meridians.

In a flash, the Billion Demonic Sword shone brightly. The tri-colored sword flash was accompanied by a blood-colored light, looking like a brilliant rainbow.

Zhan Luan sniggered disdainfully when he saw that. He did not use his Dark Force for the time being. His skin turned purple and this bones and flesh swelled up immediately.

Zhan Luan grew larger and more muscular in the blink of an eye. He looked like a wild beast.

Purple flashes of light filled with power traversed through his swollen muscles.

Su Mo and Zhan Luan stared at each other, the void between the two exploded unceasingly as spatial power spewed wildly.

And the battle started!

On the peak where the Cold-blood Hall gathered, Yan Tai's eyes locked onto Su Mo, flashing coldly.

"First Elder, when shall we make our moves?" Huangfu Qing asked him.

Huangfu Qing felt that they could attack Su Mo the moment he appeared so that no other changes would affect their plot.

"Let's wait a while," Yan Tai said calmly. He was in no hurry for Su Mo cannot escape him now that he was here.

It would be easier to capture Su Mo if they acted only after Su Mo fought with and lost the battle against Zhan Luan.

The crux of the matter was that they did not know where Wu Shan was. They had to capture Su Mo alive if Wu Shan had been hidden somewhere by him.

Indeed, Yan Tai thought that Su Mo would surely lose the battle.

Yan Tai was not the only one who thought so, almost everyone did as well.

Admittedly, everyone knew that Su Mo's combat strength was unbelievably strong and that he was very talented.

However, no matter how powerful he was, there was a limit that he could not cross.

Zhan Luan was a person he could not cross. No one knew how powerful Zhan Luan was.

Everyone only knew that there was no one in the younger generation who could make Zhan Luan expend all his strength to fight against.

Some said that Zhan Luan had Twin Martial Souls, and some said that he had a special bloodline. No matter what, perhaps only the top echelons of Warlord Hall knew.

Standing with the Dugus, Dugu Sheng's eyes were cold as he looked at Su Mo. His eyes filled with an infinite killing desire.

He had almost been killed by Su Mo in the Fighting Spirits'Plane. As such, he wanted to kill Su Mo, even if it were not for the Billion Demonic Sword.

"Highest Elder, let's do it!" Dugu Sheng said to the Highest Elder, Dugu Yan.

Dugu Yan glanced at Dugu Sheng and said, "Sheng'er, do not be impatient!"

"But if the Netherworld Devil Sect moves before us, it'd be harder to get the Billion Demonic Sword back from them," Dugu Sheng said somberly.

Dugu Yan sighed when he heard that. He said, "Sheng'er, do not be rash. Use your brain!"

After a moment, he continued, "The main goal of the Netherworld Devil Sect is to capture Su Mo and save Wu Shan. It does not conflict with our goal at all!"

"Moreover, in view of the current situation, the Netherworld Devil Sect would have to fight the Emperor Xuan Palace and Sky-sea Pavilion if they want Su Mo. We can just reap the benefits when the larger powers both suffer losses in the fight."

"This way, the Dugus can minimize the damage to our forces. If we act now, we'd have to face the Emperor Xuan Palace and Sky-sea Pavilion."

Dugu Yan was wise and astute, and he explained the situation carefully to Dugu Sheng.

Dugu Sheng's eyes brightened when he heard that and he nodded. It was true that the older, the wiser. He had only thought of dealing with Su Mo and taking the Demonic Sword and had not considered the larger picture.

On second thought, Dugu Sheng asked, "But what if Su Mo loses the battle and Zhan Luan kills him?"

Dugu Yan scoffed and said, "Su Mo will not die, not even if he loses the battle. The Emperor Xuan Palace and Netherworld Devil Sect will not let him die!"

"That's true!" Dugu Sheng sighed and nodded slightly. The Emperor Xuan Palace would undoubtedly do their best to protect Su Mo.

The Netherworld Devil Sect naturally would not allow Su Mo to die like this since he did not bring Wu Shan with him.

Then Dugu Sheng and Dugu Yan did not speak and quietly bided their time.

At this moment, the fighting desire on the Jade Cloud Lake was sky high. Su Mo's battle for the younger generation of the Firmament World was about to begin.

On the peaks where the spectators of the battle stood, undercurrents and various thoughts ran through the larger forces.

Deputy Pavilion Leader Qian of the Sky-sea Pavilion, Deputy Hall Chief Hu of the Craftsmanship Hall, First Elder Hua Taishan and the 13th Elder of the Emperor Xuan Palace all sighed darkly. They would have to prepare for the worst since Su Mo was here.

They would have to remain vigilant and guard against the sudden attack of the Netherworld Devil Sect.

"Deputy Pavilion Leader Qian, it seems that the Sky-sea Pavilion will also protect Su Mo. I hope that we can work well together!"

Hua Taishan's gaze landed on Deputy Pavilion Leader who was on a different peak. He had sent the message through his telepathic Dark Force from a few thousand miles away.

Their eyes met when Hua Taishan heard Deputy Pavilion Leader Qian. Qian nodded slightly and sent a telepathic message in return. "Old Hua, you can rest assured. Su Mo is a disciple of the Emperor Xuan Palace and is also the head of the Qi cultivation Hall in the Sky-sea Pavilion. We will do our best!"

"That's great. Thank you, Deputy Pavilion Leader Qian!" Hua Taishan nodded in thanks.

"Old Hua, you're too kind. Let's watch the battle! I'm curious what levels Su Mo have reached,"

"I'm also filled with anticipation. I hope that he can surprise us!" Said Hua Taishan.

Then, the two stopped talking and focused on the battle.

"Brother Su Mo, I have faith in you!"

Xi'er sat quietly under a large tree, watching Su Mo unblinkingly, her expression determined.

She believed that there wasn't anyone who could stop Su Mo. Shangguan Hao could not and neither could Zhan Luan.

The experts of the East Sea Flood-dragon tribe and the other Demons were on the same peak.

Dragon Emperor Tuntian and the flood dragon Crown Prince stood side by side, watching Su Mo who wielded the Demonic Sword on the lake's surface.

"Teng'er, is he really as extraordinary as you say?" asked Dragon Emperor Tuntian.

"Second Uncle, just watch and you'll see if he's really extraordinary!" Crown Prince Long Teng chuckled.

"Alright!"

Dragon Emperor Tuntian nodded slightly and said, "I shall help him if he can really defeat Zhan Luan!"

"I have faith in him because his cultivation state has risen again!" Long Teng said. Back in the Fighting Spirits'Plane, Su Mo had only been in the Lv 5 Martial King Realm, but he already reached the Lv 6 Martial King Realm now.

Even though there was not much of a difference between level 5 and 6 of the Martial King Realm to experts in the Martial Royal Realm.

But to the powerful genius, even a rise of a single level could make a huge difference.
