Warrior's Promise Novel - Chapter 1247
Chapter 1247: Scumbag!
Su Mo got rid of all distractions from his mind and concentrated his attention on uniting the Spiritual Soul and Martial Soul.
Nie Qian and Han Ying felt helpless as they did not know what Su Mo’s plan was.
Since they had tried their best to warn Su Mo, they had done what a friend could do.
As time passed, the two disciples on the sea surface continued fighting and had wielded close to a thousand moves each.
At this moment, the outcome of the battle seemed a little more apparent. One of them appeared to have the upper hand by now and not long after, he successfully defeated his opponent.
However, they did not injure each other badly in the battle. After the winner emerged, both disciples left the surface of the sea and returned to the respective islands they came from.
At this moment, Leng Jiang, who was on another island let out a laugh. He took a step forward. In a few seconds, he traveled some thousands of miles and came to stop at the center of the waters.
As he stood on the surface of the sea, he turned to look at Su Mo on the other island. Holding a fightening gaze, he let out an angry bellow.
“Su Mo, get over here and meet your end!”
His booming voice was like the sound of thunder that exploded amids the Battle World and it stirred up giant waves like a tsunami.
All the disciples of Shen Martial Arts Academy got excited as they awaited to watch the battle!
Su Mo opened his eyes. Keeping a straight face, he stood up.
His Martial Soul and Spiritual Soul had blended with each other. In fact, they would be completely unified within an hour’s time.
However, the hour for the battle had come and there was no time for him to continue blending the two souls.
“Is he not coming down here yet, is he afraid to die?” Leng Jiang sniggered as he saw Su Mo taking his time.
As the others also looked on Su Mo, they thought it natural for a martial artist in the Emperor-to-be realm to feel apprehensive towards the battle.
“Brother Su…!”
Nie Qian and Han Ying were about to dissuade Su Mo when he leaped into the sky like a flash of lightning and flew towards the sea.
“Ha ha!”
Seeing what happened, Leng Jiang cackled and said, “Su Mo, although you are a scumbag, I have to say I really admire your courage!”
To Leng Jiang, Su Mo was definitely not his match, yet he still kept to his word, appearing for the challenge. Leng Jiang respected Su Mo for his courage.
However, he was not going to spare the life of a scumbag who had robbed his brother’s storage ring.
“Scumbag?” as Su Mo heard the way Leng Jiang called him names, his eyes darkened and the killing desire in him was aroused.
Swish!
Holding a long sword in his hand and wearing a severe expression, Su Mo could not afford to be negligent in any way as he started running the five divine elixirs in his body.
“Watch out for my first move!”
Leng Jiang bawled as he shot up into the sky abruptly and the light from his long saber reflected in all directions into the clouds.
“Slash! ”
As he brandished his saber, frightening saber Qi dispersed into the sky. Like lightning raining down from the Ninth Skies, it started coming down at Su Mo.
With the power that came from the Golden Ultimacy within the saber, the attack was exceptionally powerful and magnificent.
“Whoosh!”
Wherever the saber Qi traveled through, the void was sliced open easily. The entire heavens and earth seemed to be sliced in two.
Even though the saber Qi had missed him, Su Mo felt an icy cold in his body as if he had been dropped into an ice hole.
“He is indeed formidable!” Su Mo’s heart sank. The frightening Golden Ultimacy alone seemed to have reached the second level, not to mention Leng Jiang’s cultivation level.
No one should underestimate the magnifying effect of the Golden Ultimacy on a person’s strength.
Swish!
Su Mo did not try to block this attack head-on. He speedily dodged the attack and transported himself a few thousands of feet away.
Boom!
Terrifying saber Qi struck the water and divided the surface of the sea in two. While the sea appeared to be parted, huge waves were generated and rose some to a height of a thousand feet overhead.
“Do you think you can steer clear of this?”
As Leng Jiang sneered, he brandished his long saber with rage, streaks of saber Qi continued to come towards Su Mo.
Hundreds of thousands of saber Qi rained down and covered the entire firmament. Leng Jiang’s killing desire was manifested in the saber Qi and they were directed at Su Mo.
Leng Jiang would not hold anything back, his ultimate goal was to kill Su Mo there and then.
Many among the spectators shook their head, thinking that Su Mo was going to be defeated by Leng Jiang’s attacks.
There was no doubt about it!
Nie Qian and Han Ying were very anxious for Su Mo. Although they were aware of Su Mo’s strength, they did not think Su Mo could withstand the powerful saber Qi.
If any went wrong, he could lose his life there and then!
Standing at the foot of an old tree on a small island was Instructor Mu Li. She was wearing a nonchalant expression on her face.
She watched the battle on the surface of the sea intently with a straight face.
She would not lift a finger to help even if Su Mo were to die.
Su Mo had brought all of these upon himself.
She had come all the way here just to be a spectator to witness the battle between Su Mo and Leng Jiang. When it was finished, she had to report the outcome of the battle to Grand Master Huoyuan.
Once Su Mo died, the Grand Master Huoyuan would stop being so concerned about him.
However, if Su Mo did not die, the Grand Master Huoyuan might still not invite Su Mo to the inner mansion of Huoyuan Peak. Nevertheless, if an opportunity arose, she knew the Grand Master would want to recruit Su Mo.
To be honest, Mu Li was a little jealous of Su Mo.
Anybody would be somewhat jealous of Su Mo.
Mu Li was a craftsman who refined Medium Grade Honorable weapons. She was a rare talent in both martial arts and refinement of weapons. She might be the only one in a hundred years.
Despite being so talented, she only received instructions from Grand Master Huoyan once in a while.
Although she addressed Grand Master Huoyuan as her instructor, in her heart, Grand Master Huoyuan was a real Master to her.
She knew that Grand Master Huoyuan had been looking for a trustworthy successor so he could pass on his life-long craftmanship in refining weapons to him.
She was keenly aware that Grand Master Huoyuan had looked highly upon Su Mo so much so that he had the intention of nurturing Su Mo to make him his pro-disciple.
However, Su Mo had outrightly rejected such a great opportunity without any hesitation!
Although Mu Li did not know the Grand Master Huoyuan’s thoughts about the rejection, she was definitely feeling uncomfortable about it.
If a person was unable to obtain something he badly wanted, yet another person who was offered the same thing rejected it and looked lightly upon it, it would be hard to swallow such a feeling.
Therefore, Mu Li badly wanted to see for herself if Su Mo was going to remain as arrogant when he got defeated later on.
At this moment, the person who was most excited and happy was the luxuriously dressed youth by the name of He Chuanyan. Back when he was at Demon Cloud Sea, Su Mo had plundered him. From then on, he was filled with hatred for Su Mo.
This day, he thought he was going to witness Su Mo being killed. Seeking revenge and seeing it fulfilled was going to be such a joyous thing.
His three friends had gone away to gain experience in life. When they returned, he would surprise them with this piece of good news!
At this moment, there was yet another person who was very interested in Su Mo.
He was a handsome, elegant young gentleman clad in luxurious apparels.
This person was none other than Taishi Xuan.
At this instant, Taishi Xuan was standing atop a low hill on a small island. Holding a fan in his hand, he gave the impression that he was relaxed and enjoying himself.
He had his eyes set on Su Mo all this while.
He knew Su Mo. They got acquainted with each other at the south court square earlier on.
However, he was more interested in the silvery long sword in Su Mo’s hand, more than Su Mo himself.
The sword appeared to be the one belonging to Liao Yunjian, who was an outer cluster disciple of the Taishi Family. How did it end up in Su Mo’s hands?
Although there were numerous silver long swords and most of them looked the same, however, he recognized this particular sword. This was because he was the one who gave this sword to Liao Yunjian as his weapon.
“Could it be that Liao Yunjian had died?” Taishi Xuan muttered. If Liao Yunjian was still alive, how could he have given his weapon to another person?”
That would be impossible!
