Warrior's Promise

With the Sword Qi about to strike him, a large turtle shell suddenly appeared in Elder Zhen Yue’s hands.

This turtle shell was light green in color and it protected Elder Zhen Yue perfectly inside it.

At the same time, the elder carefully gathered his Dark Force around the turtle shell, enhancing its defensive strength.

In an instant, the Sword Qi heavily struck against the turtle shell.

Boom!

A loud explosion that caused the ground to shake occurred. Sword Qi dispersed into streams of sword rain after the collision.

Elder Zhen Yue’s body shook violently inside the turtle shell. Blood Force and Dark Force surged wildly in him and he barely managed to maintain his control over the turtle shell.

However, after meeting such an attack, he no longer flew towards Su Mo but retreated backward carefully.

“Just like that?”

Su Mo scoffed. In just a single blow, he could see through Elder Zhen Yue’s full strength. He could be ended in 2 strikes.

“Rise!”

Su Mo yelled as he released the large, devouring void. As the Devouring Fighting Soul hovered in the air, devouring power spread out through the area at its maximum.

“How could this be?” Elder Zhen Yue exclaimed in disbelief. He was scared, frightened out of his wits.

The young man in front of him was a godly genius, a strange and mysterious one.

Under the influence of the strong devouring power, the elder could not suppress the turmoil of Dark Force in him in the short term. His Divine Elixirs vibrated madly and Dark and Blood Force surged uncontrollably in his body.

However, right at that point, a larger and stronger Sword Qi swung towards him again.

This Sword Qi had invisible Sword Force that was full of destructive aura. Behind it, the roars of Fighting Souls being activated sent shivers down one’s spine.

Su Mo had sacrificed 100 Fighting Souls to defeat Elder Zhen Yue with a final blow. Granted, he didn’t want to use too many Fighting Souls as he needed the physical body of the elder and he could not kill him.

Furthermore, Su Mo didn’t have many Fighting Souls in his devouring void left, so he could not waste any more.

“Shit!”

Elder Zhen Yue shrieked in surprise at Su Mo’s ultimate blow. As he held the turtle shell in one hand, he desperately used his other hand to form an attack.

Boom boom boom!

Just as the Sword Qi was about to hit him, Elder Zhen Yue constructed a palm print.

However, the palm print seemed strong but the Dark Force was a weak, thin later in it. It was only the strength of a Sage-to-be.

The elder could not do much under the devouring power influence and the weak palm print was the best that he could manage.

In an instant, the Sword Qi sliced through the palm print, tearing it apart smoothly.

The palm print lacked any resistance and once it was torn apart, it allowed Sword Qi to continue on its way forward to strike against the turtle shell.

Bam!

Another deafening explosion shook the starry sky as blast waves swept out in all directions.

Ah!

A loud scream followed the turtle shell that drew an arc across the sky. Elder Zhen Yue was thrown backward, a stream of fresh blood spurting out of his mouth.

“This is it!”

Su Mo’s eyes brightened as the Devouring Fighting Soul sped towards Elder Zhen Yue like a wild tornado. In a second, it entered the elder’s body.

Blood Force in the elder’s body was a wild rush as he had sustained a huge internal injury. The Divine Elixirs barely escaped crumbling apart and there was no way he could react to Su Mo’s next move.

As the Devouring Fighting Soul entered his mind, a terrifying devouring power rolled out and began to devour the elder’s original Fighting Soul.

“What?” Elder Zhen Yue had lived for a very long time and had never met such a scenario. His heart jumped in fright as he desperately mobilized his Fighting Soul to leave his body.

Yet, his Fighting Soul was powerless against the devouring power and it was instantly devoured by the Devouring Fighting Soul.

“Who are you? Who in the world are you?” Elder Zhen Yue could only feel himself being sucked into hell. All the aura around him disappeared as he shrieked.

He had lived for more than 10,000 years and his talents were somewhat average. He had relied on a large variety of methods to achieve what he had.

He was a top expert in Yin Ming Star that had a large pool of resources and servants. Every day, a large number of people would pay their respects to him and just as he was about to enjoy his grand life, he had met such a downfall.

“My name is Su Mo of the Sun Moon Tribe!” Su Mo coldly uttered before he proceeded to refine the elder’s Fighting Soul.

“What? It is you!” Elder Zhen Yue screamed in realization. He had heard much of Su Mo’s name.

However, after those last words, he lacked any more life strength and died.

“That’s right!”

After Elder Zhen Yue fell, Su Mo gained total control of the elder’s body. He was fully satisfied once he felt the elder’s cultivation rank.

This physical body was much stronger than You Tianhan’s body. There was a world of difference between the two. The elder’s body possessed strength close to Su Mo’s original body.

The reason why Su Mo’s original body was exceptional largely relied on his Dark Force, chaotic energy and the mass of Fighting Souls in his devouring void. If not for the Devouring Fighting Soul and the pool of Fighting Souls, his original body’s strength would be reduced by a large fold, approaching the strength of the elder’s physical body.

Shoosh!

With that, Su Mo reached his arm forward and took You Tianhan’s physical body that was floating in the starry sky. In a flash, he turned and left.

Defeating Elder Zhen Yue had not used up much time and the whole battle lasted only 2 breaths of time.

Shoosh shoosh shoosh!

Around 7 breaths after Su Mo had left, an air-rending sound erupted. The martial artists that were presenting gifts to the elder had arrived.

“Where is the elder?”

“The battling area was here, why is it gone?”

The crowd stared in confusion at the broken starry sky. Evidently, a great battle had occurred there but there was no sign of anyone left.

Could the young man have been killed by Elder Zhen Yue?

“That is Elder Zhen Yue’s turtle shell!”

A group of experts spotted the large turtle shell floating in the starry sky.

Without hesitation, the group flew forward and the strongest man among them picked up the turtle shell to check it.

“There is a blood stain. Elder Zhen Yue’s blood stain!”

The heart of the young man jumped in fright as he checked the turtle shell. A large pool of blood stained the turtle shell and this blood aura belonged to the elder.

Mouths gaped open in shock. If there was the blood stain of the Elder, could he have been killed? Otherwise, why would he leave behind his weapon?

How was that possible?

Who was that young man? How could he be so strong to kill Elder Zhen Yue?

Everyone was stunned, but they had not personally seen the battle and could only make wild guesses.

…

Zhen Hua Sacred Sect was considered a large sect in Mingxu Galaxy. Although it didn’t have the powers of the Sun Moon Tribe, it was a good ally of the Sun Moon Tribe.

In front of the gates of Zhen Hua Sacred Sect was a star called Zhen Hua Star.

Zhen Hua Star was not far from Sun Moon Star and they were separated by a few stars.

A large, dense cloud of Spiritual Qi hang in the air of Zhen Hua Star, hiding the few large mountains behind it.

These were the gates of Zhen Hua Sacred Sect. As a dominant superpower of Zhen Hua Star, the gates of the sect were grand and magnificent.

“3 more days!”

There was a large forest about 1,000 kilometers away from Zhen Hua Sacred Sect. Su Mo sat down crossed-legged below an ancient tree and muttered to himself.

There were 3 more days until the banquet organized by Zhen Hua Sacred Sect and Leng Xie should be there.

Su Mo was going to wait for Leng Xie’s arrival in the next few days.

Once Leng Xie left the banquet, Su Mo would take action.

In the past few days, he had been familiarizing himself with the physical body of the Elder Zhen Yue. While Elder Zhen Yue had a strong physical body and a high cultivation rank, he needed to get used to it quickly to display its peak power.

If he was going to challenge Su Mo, he would very likely have to deal with a large group of Martial Sages as well. As such, he had to raise his fighting strength as much as he could.

However, Elder Zhen Yue cultivated the Yin and Yang properties for his martial way with Yang Energy the stronger of the two.

Evidently, the elder was well-versed in both Yin and Yang attacks. The Yang energy needed the young lady’s Yin energy to be balanced.

Although such a power was strong, it was very different from the martial skills that Su Mo practiced.

Therefore, Su Mo found it incredibly hard to display the top strength of the physical body he possessed. Nonetheless, even if he was unable to display the peak powers of the elder, he could achieve up to 90% of it.

Right then, Su Mo could only silently pray that Leng Xie would not bring a King Sage along with him.

Once he captured Leng Xie, he would be able to strike an exchange with the Sun Moon Tribe to take back Qingxuan.

It was only a matter of time before Qingxuan regained her memories.
