Warrior's Promise Novel - Chapter 1074
Chapter 1074: Second Demon Elder
A big black spike suddenly shot out of nothingness, penetrating layers of vanity and rapidly charging to Su Mo.
This black spike was the same one that attacked him in Cold Yin City when Su Mo sneaked into the Netherworld Devil Sect.
Over one zhang in length, the spike bore a cold shine, piercing through the void and charging towards Su Mo at an unparalleled speed carrying a stunning killing desire.
Chi!
The black spike pierced through the void. It was so fast that there was dazzling sparkles from friction.
This was a final hit, extremely powerful and completely unexpected.
“What?”
Su Mo’s face changed as soon as he saw the spike. He knew very well the power and force this spike was carrying. His scalp was tingling.
No wonder Yan Tai and the others weren’t trying very hard to catch him. They were aware of this secret weapon.
Su Mo couldn’t be sure that the black spike was sent by the master of the Netherworld Devil Sect but he was certain it was an Emperor-to-be, the highest peak of the Firmament World.
The black spear cut to Su Mo in no time and completely took him by surprise. Su Mo had no way to dodge it.
“Drink!”
With no time to think, Su Mo shouted immediately, his Dark Force surging. He wielded his sword to confront the black spear.
Clang!
The Emperor Sword fell on the black spear. Suddenly there was a loud bang along with dazzling sparkles.
An intense shiver ran all over his body. Su Mo’s right arm was shaken open, almost losing the sword.
Rumble!
Confronted by Su Mo’s slash, the black spear slowed down and deviated slightly but pushed on and stabbed into Su Mo’s chest.
In the distance, Yan Tai and the other four stopped to watch this scene, feeling much relieved.
It was over!
Second Demon Elder came in the game and Su Mo would be dead. It was just a matter of time.
As an Emperor-to-be, Second Demon Elder’s strength was well known by Yan Tai and his peers.
Across the entire Firmament World, only a handful of martial artists at the Emperor-to-be level could survive in the face of Second Demon Elder.
Last time when Su Mo broke into the Devil Abyss, he survived thanks to his super defense tally and because Second Demon Elder didn’t give chase.
It was different this time. Su Mo would be dead with the defense tally or without.
Pfft!
The black spear hit Su Mo’s chest where Qi exploded. Su Mo spew out an arrow of blood.
Su Mo’s body flew backwards rapidly like an arrow from the string.
“Hmm?”
Yan Tai’s eyes gazed with surprise on his face.
They thought Second Demon Elder’s strike would pierce through Su Mo’s chest and kill him at once.
It was not the case. The black spear didn’t pierce through Su Mo’s body.
Swish!
Su Mo flew backward rapidly for over 2,000 li. As soon as his body stopped, he tasted sweet in his throat and opened his mouth to spit out one mouthful blood.
Su Mo appeared pale. He looked up to the direction where the black spear came from. A blast in the space and then a tall man in black stepped out of the void.
Shrouded by a thick layer of dark fog, this man in black was hard to see.
His aura, gloominess, dominance, and recklessness were simply powerful that Su Mo had never seen before.
This man might be stronger than Di Shi when it came to aura.
Of course his true combat strength couldn’t be judged just by his aura.
“Second Demon Elder!”
Seeing this tall man in black, Yan Tai and the other four elders immediately bowed down and greeted him respectfully.
Second Demon Elder waved his hand gently and grabbed the black spear without looking at Yan Tai. He gazed at Su Mo’s chest while muttering in a husky voice, “Interesting! A suit of Imperial internal armor!”
Second Demon Elder was also surprised that Su Mo survived his strike. He intended to finish him with one shot.
“Second Demon Elder?” Su Mo had never heard of such a figure in the Netherworld Devil Sect.
He thought he was facing the master of the Netherworld Devil Sect but it was not.
Apparently the Netherworld Devil Sect had more than two experts at the Emperor-to-be level. If this was only Second Demon Elder, there must be First Demon Elder.
Swish!
Su Mo turned his body and transformed into a beam of sword radiance, fleeing without hesitation.
This so-called Second Demon Elder was too powerful, beyond his league. He’d better run when he still could.
He was already badly injured by the first strike, all his internal organs shattered.
He would be a dead man without that Imperial internal armor.
Su Mo knew he had underestimated an Emperor-to-be expert’s strength. Also, that strike took him completely by surprise or he wouldn’t be in such a difficult position.
“Quit struggling!” The husky voice sounded again. Seeing Su Mo’s attempt to escape, Second Demon Elder strode to give chase.
Second Demon Elder’s steps were very special. He could travel one thousand li in one step. The void and earth were shortened under his feet.
His legs moved slowly but his speed was actually faster then Su Mo’s sword. The distance between them was shortened quickly.
“Damn it!” Su Mo was shocked to see Second Demon Elder catching up so quickly, shortening the distance between them.
Once caught up with, he would be in big trouble. He might have to use the Three Secret Techniques to fight for his life.
Besides, there were five more mighty fighters behind them. He would have no advantage today.
Phew!
Su Mo drove the Natal Spiritual Sword to its maximal speed. The Natal Spiritual Sword was fast but not as fast as this Second Demon Elder.
Su Mo’s face darkened as the pursuer got closer and closer, getting ready for a fierce battle.
Soon after, the distance between them had been shortened enough for Second Demon Elder to launch another attack.
“Death!”
Second Demon Elder’s voice was harsh and cold, full of vicissitudes of life. The black spear in his hand with a black shine all over suddenly thrusted.
In a flash, a pitch black spear radiance shot out, aiming at Su Mo’s head.
The spear radiance was over one hundred zhang long and extremely thin, as if a long needle.
However, the power of this spear radiance was condensed and sharpened to the extreme, capable of penetrating everything in this world.
The spear radiance thin like a needle flew thousands of li in no time, approaching Su Mo at a speed indistinguishable to the naked eye.
Su Mo’s body hair stood up when a sense of danger crept up on him.
At this point, even if he wanted to use the Three Secret Techniques, he wouldn’t have enough time.
Right before the spear radiance hit his head, Su Mo tilted his head and dodged the strike.
Chi!
The needle like spear radiance passed by Su Mo’s ear closely and left a tiny black hole in the space that was almost impossible to see.
Phew!
Su Mo breathed a sigh of relief. However, dozens of similar spear radiance suddenly came from behind.
Second Demon Elder striked again.
Almost at the same time, Su Mo saw a huge mountain piercing through the sky.
Tall and towering, this huge mountain penetrated clouds and connected earth and heaven.
It was Sacred Mountain of the Barbaric Mountains!
