Warrior's Promise

On the battle ring, staring at Huo Ling, Su Mo dared not relax. Although Huo Ling had been defeated by the ninth princess, he was still powerful.

Huo Ling seemed very calm, but in fact, he felt embarrassed about his failure.

He swore that he would not lose again.

"You're quite strong to have defeated Han Qianze. I won't show mercy when we're fighting, so you can only blame yourself if you're injured!"

Huo Ling's saber will increased, and his sharp saber Qi tore the surrounding air. Then, he released his saber will at Grand Completion of the 1st stage.

"I'm going to take your Dragon Luck!" Su Mo said flatly. Meanwhile, his sword will sky-rocketed to resist Huo Ling.

"What? Sword will at the Peak of the Late 1st stage?!"

"Su Mo's sword will has arrived at the Peak of the Late 1st stage, not the Middle of the 1st stage!"

"The sword will is quite close to the Grand Completion of the 1st stage. It's almost as powerful as Wu Sheng's sword will!"

The audience on the spectator's stand burst into an uproar after seeing Su Mo's sword will.

It turned out that Su Mo had hidden his strength.

"Even though your sword will is at the Peak of the Late 1st stage, you'll still lose!"

Huo Ling yelled coldly. Suddenly, He attacked with a scarlet saber radiance; It's overwhelming heatwave thrust toward Su Mo.

The property of Huo Ling's saber will was fire and it improved the strength of his fire property martial arts.

Clang!

Su Mo unsheathed his sword and also shot out his sword Qi which accurately hit Huo Ling's saber radiance; destroying the sword Qi and saber radiance instantly.

"Flaming Cloud Filling the Sky!"

Huo Ling flew into the sky and swung his long saber. A sky full of saber Qi coupled with blazing fire attacked Su Mo.

"Swirling Winds and Clouds!"

A violent wild wind suddenly appeared wiping out the whole space, and sweeping away the saber radiance and fire.

Su Mo's flickering figure dashed to Huo Ling suddenly with wild wind. He threw out a stroke with his sword.

"Final Hit of Heavenly Wind!"

The sharp sword Qi was like the wind, overwhelming but intangible.

Su Mo mustered his peak combat strength with one strike.

"What?"

Huo Ling became nervous, because he felt he might not beat Su Mo. It was not because of his power, but his unpredictable skills; Huo Ling did not know how to resist Su Mo's sword and when to fight back, it was if he had been floundered by the swords momentum.　　

At this moment, Huo Ling realized how powerful Su Mo really was. Even though he had the excellent strength, Huo Ling did not know how to destroy the attack.

"Flaming Cloud Armor!"

At this crucial moment, Huo Ling yelled loudly. The flame on his body suddenly flared up and formed a fire shield to block the sword Qi.

Clang!

Puff!

With a loud clang, the sword radiance struck Huo Ling and pierced his armor by three inches.

Swoosh!

Huo Ling retreated quickly to keep his distance from Su Mo.

As he looked down, Huo Ling frowned. Su Mo's attack had created a bloody hole in his chest, leaving him bleeding profusely.

The arena was in dead silence, following which, it burst into an uproar.

"What? Huo Ling is injured!"

"How could it be possible? He hurt Huo Ling with only one strike!"

"Excellent! Even Huo Long can't defeat Su Mo, his strength is insane!"

Everyone was stunned and dazed by the sight of the injured Huo Ling.

It was surprising that the unstoppable Huo Ling was hurt by Su Mo in only one move.

Everyone knew that Su Mo's strength was quite good, and as powerful as Huo Ling, but they never predicted that he could hurt Huo Ling.　　

On the fighting ring, Su Mo was unsurprised to see Huo Ling injured.

His "Final Hit of Heavenly Wind" was at the Grand Completion, making it equally powerful as Infinite Sword Art. Also, with the help of the Wind sword will, Su Mo had maximized his strength so his unpredictable attack skills were impossible to guard against.

Without any preparation, it was no surprise that Huo Ling was injured by just one stroke.

"Well, very impressive Su Mo! You're the first one to wound me of the young generation." Huo Ling became furious.　

"However, you're still going to lose today! Martial Soul!" Huo Ling roared and immediately released his Martial Soul.　　

The scarlet shadow of magma emerged behind Huo Ling, which looked so real it was even bubbling.

The Magma Martial Soul was a Rank 6 Earth Class Martial Soul.

This was an act of desperation, since unleashing his Martial Soul against an opponent of the same level meant that he admitted he was weaker than Su Mo.

Unless the talent thought he still had the chance to win, he could release the Martial Soul to turn the table.

When Huo Ling fought against the ninth princess, he did not release his Martial Soul because it would have helped him break her defense.

Now, Huo Ling had to release his Martial Soul against Su Mo. Since he had been defeated by the ninth princess already, he would not lose again!

With his aura increasing, Huo Ling's firing body curved even the space around him.

"Shocking Flaming Cloud Cut!" Huo Ling yelled in anger. He unsheathed his long saber with an onrushing fire and instantly struck at Su Mo.　　

Everyone in the spectators stand were focused on the fight, watching Su Mo's move against the angry Huo Ling.

The elders and disciples of Gale Island had already been numbed by seeing Su Mo's shocking power; they were not too surprised to see him wounding Huo Ling.

Now that Huo Ling was enraged, they were eager to see Su Mo unleashing his ferocity again.　　

On the fighting ring, Su Mo smiled as he watched Huo Ling releasing his Martial Soul.

"With his wounds, he'll only experience a hastier defeat by releasing his Martial Soul." Su Mo shook his head. Then, he did not avoid Huo Ling's attack but instead, rushed toward him.　

"What is he doing?"

"Huo Ling's strike is so powerful, is Su Mo asking to die?" Su Mo's actions caused disbelief in the spectators stand.　

Huo Ling's strike was extremely powerful. Normally, Su Mo should think of ways to resist or avoid it.

Instead, Su Mo headed straight for Huo Ling's attack. "Is he tired of living?" The crowd thought.

Huo Ling was also stunned, since he knew that the strength of his attack would definitely kill Su Mo in a head-on collision.　

Upon seeing the fire saber radiance approaching, Su Mo smiled and cried, "Swallow!"

Suddenly an overwhelming, devouring power swept everywhere.

Under the shroud of the devouring power, Huo Ling's saber radiance instantly wavered and started to weaken.

At the same time, Huo Ling trembled as blood gushed out of the wound on his chest.
