Warrior's Promise

“Let’s continue waiting. After the power of the array has weakened, we will break through the array and kill Su Mo!” Li Hentian told the disciples from Empty Sky Sect.

“All right!” The disciples replied in unison. That would be the best arrangement.

After Su Mo had sucked in the Ghost Qi, the power of the array would weaken and they would not get into any danger by going to the mountain to kill Su Mo.

If they went up to the mountain before that, they might get lost and by the time they got out of the mountain, Su Mo might have already escaped.

They were not worried that Su Mo would breakthrough to Rank 2 Martial Honored Realm as it was impossible to do so within such a short period of time.

In order to have a smooth breakthrough to Rank 2 Martial Honored Realm, he would need at least another 20 hours to do so.

The Ghost Qi in the mountain would thin down in another two hours and by then they would be able to break through the array effortlessly.

Thus, Su Mo did not have enough time to break through to Rank 2 Martial Honored Realm.

Li Hentian and the disciples from Empty Sky Sect continued to wait.

As time passed by, the Ghost Qi in the mountain started to thin. When the people who had discovered the mountain saw Li Hentian and the disciples from Empty Sky Sect and the situation at the mountain, they guessed what would be coming next.

Li Hentian and the disciples from Empty Sky Sect wanted to besiege Su Mo and kill him!

Many people stayed and watched. The gifted genius of the generation, Su Mo, would be killed at the mountain that very day!

…

Su Mo continued to suck in the Ghost Qi and refine it in the dreamland.

The Ghost Qi in his body surged and his Dark Force was vast and mighty, filling up his Divine Elixirs to the fullest.

However, even in such a state, Su Mo was still unable to cross over the hurdle.

When one’s cultivation level was at the Martial Honored Realm, it would no longer be as easy to have a breakthrough as when he was at the Martial King Realm or Martial Royal Realm.

In order to increase his success rate and to devour the Ghost Qi as soon as he could, Su Mo increased the power of the Devouring Fighting Soul.

Very quickly, Su Mo channeled all the Ghost Qi in the entire mountain toward him and it surged crazily into his body.

When Bi Qinghan and Li Hentian, who were outside the mountain, saw the scene that had taken place, they were shocked. They were puzzled by the speed at which Su Mo sucked in the Ghost Qi.

The people who were trapped in the mountain noticed the phenomenon as well.

Tian Lang and the rest of the people who were trapped in the mountain followed the direction that the Ghost Qi was gushing in as they wanted to find out what had happened.

“It’s Su Mo!”

Soon, all the people in the mountain saw Su Mo and they realized that he was the cause of it.

Tian Lang and the top powers looked at one another and those who knew each other started to group themselves together.

“Why is Su Mo sucking in the Ghost Qi?”

“How did he do it?”

“The Ghost Qi has thinned. We can get out of the array!”

All the top powers started to talk amongst themselves. Anyone who had cultivated through the normal path could not possibly suck in the Spiritual Qi at such a great speed. However, Su Mo had done so.

His speed was many times faster than the speed of an ordinary Martial Honored Realm martial artist!

“He is indeed amazing!” Light glittered in Tian Lang’s eyes. He had never come across anyone who could absorb the Qi at such a great speed.

Su Mo, who was in a state of cultivation, noticed Tian Lang and the other top powers. He opened his eyes and, after glancing at them, he ignored them.

None of them were from Empty Sky Sect and, other than Tian Lang, no other top powers posed a threat to him.

Su Mo continued to absorb the Ghost Qi and as time passed by the shackle to break through the realm began to loosen.

The Ghost Qi in the mountain went down by more than one-fold after Su Mo had absorbed the Ghost Qi.

Everyone waited. Li Hentian and his companions were waiting for the Ghost Qi to thin down further so that they could break through the array to kill Su Mo.

After the Ghost Qi had thinned down, Tian Lang and the top powers intended to break through the array and leave the mountain as they had been trapped for a long while.

At that moment, all eyes were fixed on Su Mo. They were waiting for Su Mo to bring the Ghost Qi down further.

Time passed by slowly and after an hour, the Ghost Qi in the mountain went down further.

“All of you surround the area while I go up and kill Su Mo!” Li Hentian said as he did not want to wait any longer. He shot up to the sky and flew straight to the mountain.

The disciples from Empty Sky Sect started to move and surrounded the mountain to prevent Su Mo from escaping.

As for Bi Qinghan, he did not get involved and simply moved far away from the mountain.

After all, he was a disciple of Path Sect. If he joined forces with the disciples from Empty Sky Sect to kill Su Mo, he would get himself into hot water if news about it leaked out.

In an instant, Li Hentian was above Su Mo. Light flashed across his hand and a long shiny saber appeared.

The Dark Force in Li Hentian’s body surged and the saber radiance shot up a few hundred feet high and turned into a humongous saber.

Just as Li Hentian was about to slash down with his saber to break through the invisible array to kill Su Mo, the expression on his face suddenly changed.

He saw that Tian Lang and the top powers, who were near Su Mo, had thrown out a blow at the same time.

There were about 30 people who had thrown out a blow, each toward the sky above them.

In an instant, claw radiances, Sword Qi, fist rays, and many types of attack shot up to the sky to blast the sky above them.

Boom!

Crack…

There was an earth-shattering explosion and the sound of glass shattering followed after that. The power of the 30 attacks was mighty and it broke through the array in the mountain at an instant.

Suddenly, the top powers in the mountain were connected to the outer world again.

After the 30 attacks broke through the invisible array, they maintained their imposing auras and shot up to the firmament.

Coincidentally, Li Hentian was above the sky at that moment and he was near to the mountain.

“What?”

Li Hentian’s face turned ghastly pale and he was shocked. Even if he had great power, he would not be able to fend off the powerful attacks of 30 people!

In the twinkle of an eye, Li Hentian found himself in dire straits.

He had not expected such a thing to happen. He had slapped himself in the face and got himself into trouble.

“This is…!”

After Tian Lang and the top powers had destroyed the array, they saw Li Hentian, who was in the sky above them, and they were taken aback. They could not see what was going on outside the mountain when it was covered by the array and they had thrown out the blows. They did not expect someone to position himself in the spot which they were attacking.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The 30 attacks blasted together and the scene was spectacular. It was like a roaring river which was filled with powerful Dark Force fluctuations.

The space flattened as the powerful attacks shot up to the sky. The power swirled out in all directions and headed mightily toward Li Hentian.

“Senior Brother Li!”

“Be careful, Senior Brother Li!”

“Brother Li, be careful!”

The disciples from Empty Sky Sect, who were surrounding the mountain, and Bi Qinghan shouted when they saw the scene. Everyone was shocked.

They were dumbfounded by the sudden change of events as it had taken them off-guard.

Li Hentian might be blasted by the powerful attacks.

After all, among the 30 attacks, there were top powers like Tian Lang who had thrown out the attacks. Even if the array had weakened the power of the attacks, Li Hentian might not be able to defend himself against it.
