Warrior's Promise Novel - Chapter 384
Chapter 384: What a Great Opportunity!
Thump! Thump! Thump!
In 15 mintues, Su Mo had caught up with Li Hai.
Li Hai was ghastly pale and sweating bullets. It was partly because of the pressure from the ladder, and partly out of fear of Su Mo.
He wanted to run, but his legs felt as heavy as lead and his body trembled under the tremendous weight.
“Su Mo, what… what do you want?” Li Hai stuttered with a dark expression.
“What do you think? You tried to kill me in Skygale Valley!” Su Mo said with a mocking laugh while standing next to Li Hai on the step.
“That…!”
Li Hai’s expression changed, and he whispered, “Su Mo, that was my fault! Please spare me!”
Li Hai knew he was no match for Su Mo and did not want to die at the entrance of Firmament Palace, so he voluntarily asked for forgiveness.
“Spare you? Give me an excuse to spare you,” Su Mo said with a smile.
Li Hai racked his brain and said hurriedly, “It was all about fighting over treasure! You stole the 10,000-year Stalactite, so I naturally wanted to attack you. If I had stolen the 10,000-year Stalactite, you would also have wanted to attack me, so I’ve done nothing gravely wrong. I apologize!” Li Hai said genuinely.
“Oh?”
Su Mo laughed at his logic.
Anyways, Su Mo never planned on killing him, but he would still punish him!
“I’ll spare you!” Su Mo nodded, and Li Hai was relieved, but what Su Mo said next made his face freeze.
“Give me everything you have besides the clothes on your back!” Su Mo said, smiling.
”You…!” Li Hai was fuming.
“What? If you don’t give them to me then you can die!” Su Mo shouted coldly, and reached out his hand toward Li Hai’s neck.
Li Hai was terrified and as Su Mo’s hand approached his neck, he roared, “I’ll do it! I’ll do it!”
He relented and handed over his storage ring.
Li Hai’s roar startled many people around them. Everyone was speechless at how Su Mo dared to steal in such a sacred place like Sky-climbing Ladder!
The people who had already been robbed by Su Mo were even more outraged.
“Damn it, is this guy a bandit! All he does is steal and plunder everywhere he goes!”
After taking Li Hai’s storage ring, Su Mo was all smiles. “Stealing on Sky-climbing Ladder is so easy! No one can run from me!”
Su Mo came to a realization and looked at the remaining 20 people in front of him. He thought with a smile, “What a great opportunity!”
He would never pass up a chance to gain more wealth. He needed an endless supply of Spiritual Stones to cultivate his physical body, increase his cultivation, and buy Beast Souls to increase his Martial Soul.
The wealthier he was, the faster he could cultivate.
Fang Qingyun was not far ahead of Li Hai. Su Mo ran toward her beautiful figure.
Fang Qingyun had seen Li Hai being robbed by Su Mo and grew pale, so she tried with all her might to escape from Su Mo.
However, Su Mo was much faster and soon caught up to her.
“Need I say more? Hand it over!” Su Mo said coldly.
“Su Mo, I’d rather die than give you my storage ring!”
Although Fang Qingyuan was a woman, she was more strong-willed than Li Hai and gritted her teeth in determination.
“Really?” Su Mo sneered, glanced at Fang Qingyuan’s figure, and said with a smile, “Then I’ll strip off your clothes and let everyone have a treat!”
Su Mo was not going to go easy on her because she had attacked him many times in the past.
Of course, if she did not hand over the storage ring, Su Mo would force it from her instead of actually stripping her clothes. He just wanted to scare her.
Fang Qingyuan was shocked and then turned bright red.
“Su Mo, you… you shameless bastard!” Roared the red-faced Fang Qingyuan.
Overwhelmed by emotion, she was almost forced to the ground by the air pressure.
“Hand it over, or I’ll make my move!” Su Mo said, raising his hand.
Eventually, Fang Qingyuan also relented and handed over her storage ring.
Otherwise, if Su Mo really stripped her clothes, it would be a greater insult to her prideful character than killing her.
After taking care of Fang Qingyuan, Su Mo continued forward. However, the pressure was so great on the 800 steps that both his Genuine Vitality and Martial Soul were restricted. Su Mo had to rest for a while after every step.
Even his powerful physical body was starting to give in, and his bones started to crackle.
However, this was far from Su Mo’s limit. A faint golden light appeared on his body, and light gold scales covered his skin.
Whoosh!
After enacting the strongest state of his physical body, Su Mo felt the pressure lessen greatly, and sped forward.
He robbed every single person he passed.
Four people, including Yuwen Jun, did not want to hand over their storage rings and were tossed off the ladder by Su Mo.
They had all reached their limits, so Su Mo only had to use slight force to attack them and ruin their chances of making it back up.
After two hours, Su Mo stepped onto the 900th step.
There were only five people in front of him: Wenren Tianyi, Chu Zhantian, Lei Xiao, Jiang Taixu, and Xue Mo.
Wenren Tianyi had already reached the 980th step, and Chu Zhantian, Lei Xiao, and Jiang Taixu were close behind on the 970th step.
Xue Mo was slightly behind and was on the 940th step.
Although the five of them were close to the end, it was hard to say how long it would take them to reach it.
Wenren Tianyi could not even take a step every 30 minutes because the pressure on him was so tremendous.
“Sh*t!”
After reaching the 900th step, Su Mo instantly felt the pressure on him greatly increase and force him to bend over.
He slowly straightened his back and rested for a bit while waiting for his body to acclimate to the pressure before stepping out.
One step!
Two steps!
Three steps!
Su Mo walked very slowly and stepped every 10 minutes, but he was at least walking steadily.
