Warrior's Promise Novel - Chapter 632
Chapter 632: Robbery
Two young men stood within a great hall on Great Heaven Peak, Celestialspirit Sect’s main peak.
One was clad in a silk robe, and the other in a green robe. The young man clad in a silk robe was Hou Jun. He had been tormented by Su Mo.
“Senior Brother Hou, Su Mo has left the Sect!” The green-robed young man reported.
“Oh?” Hou Jun’s eyes lit up with a cold, hard killing desire.
“Do you know where he is headed?” Hou Jun asked.
“I’m not exactly sure, but the borers have been released and will track his aura.” The green-robed young man said.
“Great! Let Senior Brother Hua know of this immediately, and tell him that he has to kill Su Mo no matter what!” Hou Jun said, with a killing desire written all over his face.
Su Mo had injured him badly and had embarrassed him in front of the crowd. He resented him to the core!
He knew that Su Mo had previously returned to Hong Domain, but as he rushed back using Transportation Formations, the person he sent after Su Mo was not able to trace him.
Now that the chance had come again, there was no way he was going to spare Su Mo.
“Senior Brother Hou, don’t worry. Senior Brother Hua is ranked amongst the top 400 on the List of Top 1,000 Talents. With him around, even Jun Wuxi might not stand a chance, let alone someone like Su Mo!” The green-robed young man said.
“Ha ha ha!” Hou Jun laughed heartily. He then said with a sigh, “My only regret is that I won’t be able to witness his death with my own eyes!”
Devilish Land was located on the western border of Dark Domain and connected Dark Domain to three other domains. This meant that it was quite far from the Celestialspirit Sect.
Fortunately, the Celestialspirit Sect was also at the western part of Dark Domain, so Su Mo and his friends did not have to waste time traveling.
After traveling for ten days, they finally arrived at the border of Devilish Land.
Devilish Land was a low-lying basin with a radius spanning thousands of kilometers.
“What strong Devilish Qi!” Su Mo marveled at the scene in front of him.
Delivish Land was completely covered in grey-black tones, and wisps of Devilish Qi rose from the ground. Even the air gave off a violent and brutal aura.
“Devilish Land is filled with Devilish Qi. Under its long-term influence, the residents have become more prone to violence. The tiniest disturbance could set them off, and it is normal for them to draw their swords and kill without warning!” Hong Qingxuan explained.
Su Mo nodded. Devilish Qi was a combination of Demonic Qi and evil spirit. Long-term exposure to it could indeed affect one’s mind.
Yet, this kind of Devilish Qi was a great tonic for those who cultivated Demonic or Depraved Skills, so this was practically a treasure spot for evil and demonic sects.
It was also the reason why it could become a chaotic place where evil power ran riot.
“There is a city just up ahead. Let’s go take a look!” Su Mo told Hong Qingxuan and Li Feng as he noticed the outline of a cityscape in the distance.
“Sure!” They both nodded.
They sped up and flew toward the city, despite it being barely visible from where they currently were.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Suddenly, something unexpected occurred.
At least ten men in black burst forth from the forest below them and streaked into the sky, blocking the path of Su Mo and his friends.
“Hm?” Su Mo’s eyes narrowed, and he immediately stopped in his tracks. Hong Qingxuan stopped as well.
His gaze swept coldly across these men in black. There were 16 of them in total. They all gave off the powerful aura of a True Darkness Realm martial artist.
Two of them were at Lv 2 True Darkness Realm and possessed extremely powerful auras.
Their leader was a burly man at Peak Lv 3 True Darkness Realm.
“Everyone leave your storage rings behind, and you may escape with your life!” The burly man said coldly.
Su Mo was speechless. He hadn’t believed that he would encounter a robbery the moment he stepped into Devilish Land territory. He was just too “lucky”!
He had come to Devilish Land in hopes of robbing others, but now someone else had stepped forward to rob him before he had even made a move.
Su Mo was about to speak when he noticed that the robbers all looked dazed as they stared hungrily at Hong Qingxuan with lustful eyes.
“Eldest brother, this is a beauty!”
“She’s just too beautiful. I have never come across a beauty like her in my 30 years in Devilish Land!” The two Lv 2 True Darkness Realm men said. They stood by the burly man’s side and were practically salivating in the face of Hong Qingxuan’s beauty.
The burly man was also struck by her beauty, but unlike the other two, he was not that besotted.
“This girl comes with me. The rest of you, quickly hand your storage rings over!” The burly man commanded with a glance at Su Mo and Li Feng.
Su Mo and his friends remained calm. There was no need to fear these men at their cultivation.
Even if these men had the ability to battle people of higher levels like top talents, there was still no need to fear.
“If you want live, hand over your storage rings within three breaths, and I will spare your life!” Su Mo said coldly.
“What?” The group was struck dumb by Su Mo’s statement.
They had come to rob, but instead, their victim had turned around to rob them?
Surprised, the burly man studied Su Mo and his friends once again. He was reassured when he saw that Su Mo and Hong Qingxuan were at Lv1 True Darkness Realm, while Li Feng did not have any cultivation to speak of.
They had always chosen their victims carefully and only had approached them because they had seen that their cultivation was not that high.
“You’re much too arrogant, young punk. Do you really think that you’re a talented genius?” The burly man scoffed, amused.
He guessed that they were probably young masters and a mistress of a major power since they were so ignorant in their ways.
“I’m sorry to say that I am indeed on the List of Top 1,000 Talents!” Su Mo said derisively.
The group of men in black were shocked into silence once again. They then burst into laughter.
“Hahaha! He really thinks he is something!”
“He said he is on the List of Top 1,000 Talents, but how is that even possible?”
“You need to be at least a Lv 3 True Darkness Realm martial artist to even make that list. He’s still got a long way to go!”
The crowd was totally flabbergasted. This person must be extremely ignorant to even try to pretend to be a List of Top 1,000 Talent in order to scare them.
They had also heard the news that a while ago, someone named Su Mo had made the List at Enlightenment Realm.
However, the truth of this had yet to be proven, and the Su Mo they heard of was only of Lv 9 Enlightenment Realm cultivation. There was no way he would have broken through to the True Darkness Realm in such a short period!
Clearly, not a single one of them took him seriously!
“Young punk, I’ve changed my mind. You may all forget about escaping!” The burly man’s eyes shone with a killing desire.
“One more breath to go!” Su Mo said coldly, his face perfectly calm.
“You must be looking for death. Brothers, let’s kill him!” The burly man commanded angrily with a wave of his hand.
He became more and more uneasy as he saw how unaffected Su Mo was. Because of this, he did not wish to waste any more time.
