Warrior's Promise
chapter-154

Whoosh!

Upon hearing the announcement, Su Mo stepped on the ground and flew to the fighting ring.

Having waited for a while, he did not see Yi Xiaoguang coming to the fighting ring.

"Erm?"

Su Mo was baffled and turned to look at Yi Xiaoguang, who was standing nearby.

Yi Xiaoguang looked gloomy and had different expressions on his face. It was as though he was having an internal struggle.

Su Mo squinted his eyes and was suddenly enlightened.

Having seen that Su Mo had easily defeated Lu Shaoyun, Yi Xiaoguang was fearful of pitting against Su Mo.

"Yi Xiaoguang, as one of the top 10 Outer Disciples, don't tell me you lack the courage to combat with me!"

Su Mo looked at him nonchalantly.

"You..."

Yi Xiaoguang was dumbfounded.

He truly did not have the courage to combat with Su Mo. He knew that the moment he stepped into the ring, Su Mo would want to have a life-and-death duel with him. It would be a disgrace to him if he rejected it.

"Hoho! As an expert in the seventh position among the top 10 Outer Disciples, you're actually afraid of the combat. What a disgrace!"

Su Mo provoked Yi Xiaoguang with disdain.

The person that Su Mo had wanted to kill most in the Sky Alliance was Yi Xiaoguang.

A few months ago, when they were outside the Decisive Struggle Hall, Yi Xiaoguang had seriously injured him with a punch. Had it not been for Wang Hui, Su Mo would have died in his hands.

"Su Mo, don't be so arrogant!"

Upon hearing this, Yi Xiaoguang was infuriated. As an expert, and seventh in position among the Outer Disciples, he had never been looked down upon.

He was burning with anger. If Su Mo had not been so powerful, he would have gone to the ring and killed him.

"Yi Xiaoguang, be a man! Come into the ring and have a life-and-death duel with me."

Su Mo smirked and said, "If you dare not take me on, it just proves you to be a coward. You're not fit to be called one of the top 10."

"You're digging your own grave!"

Yi Xiaoguang was enraged and ready to step into the fighting ring.

All along, he had been known as a genius to all. He had never been insulted in this manner before.

As Yi Xiaoguang was about to walk to the fighting ring, Nangong Linjue stopped him.

"Don't be rash, Junior Brother Yi!"

Nangong Linjue reminded him, and then asked, "Are you confident of defeating him?"

Yi Xiaoguang pondered for a while and said, "Although I've no confidence in defeating him, it'll be impossible for him to kill me!"

Yi Xiaoguang reckoned that his strength had enhanced greatly recently, and should have surpassed Lu Shaoyun, who was ranked higher than him.

Although he knew that he would not be able to defeat Su Mo, he was confident of protecting himself.

"In this case, do what you deem right!"

Nangong Linjue nodded and let him be.

After taking a deep breath, Yi Xiaoguang flew into the fighting ring.

After he was in the fighting ring, Su Mo turned to the Spectator Stand and said loudly, "First Elder and all the elders, Yi Xiaoguang and I will have a life-and-death duel!"

All the elders at the Spectator Stand were silent.

The First Elder looked pale.

"Su Mo has killed three members of the Sky Alliance. Does he want to have a life-and-death duel?"

"Isn't he afraid of anything?"

"Has he thought of the consequences?"

"Allowed!"

A faint voice was heard. It was not from the First Elder but from Elder Wei.

The First Elder was stunned. After stealing a glance at Elder Wei, he nodded in agreement as well.

Su Mo smiled, turned to look at Yi Xiaoguang and said, "Yi Xiaoguang, I still remember the previous incident. Now is payback time!"

"Su Mo, you're so arrogant. Let's see how powerful you are!"

Yi Xiaoguang shouted with a grave look on his face.

"I'm arrogant?"

Upon hearing this, Su Mo smiled lightly and said, "Do you want to see something more absurd?"

"Something more absurd?"

Yi Xiaoguang looked puzzled.

"Three strokes, and you shall die!"

Su Mo's voice turned cold, and a killing desire flashed in his eyes.

"What the heck! Su Mo is so arrogant!"

"He wants to kill Senior Brother Yi in three strokes? How is it possible?"

"So conceited!"

The disciples watching the competition burst into an uproar. Yi Xiaoguang's strength was almost on par with Lu Shaoyun. Although Su Mo had defeated Lu Shaoyun in two to three strokes, to kill Yi Xiaoguang in three strokes was impossible.

After all, everyone had some skills for self-protection. Killing and defeating were two different issues.

"You'll kill me in three strokes?"

Yi Xiaoguang's face sunk and looked pale. His eyes were burning with anger, and he shouted, "You're arrogant beyond redemption!"

Buzz!

Yi Xiaoguang instantly released his Martial Soul.

His Martial Soul was a black curtain. There was a glitter in the black curtain, like a star in the dark sky.

Starlight Martial Soul, Rank 8 Human Class.

"Flying Flight Fist!"

After letting out a shout, Yi Xiaoguang led the attack against Su Mo.

By throwing out a punch, Yi Xiaoguang shot the white beam-like fist radiance toward Su Mo.

Su Mo's eyes were engulfed with killing desires. If he had been hit by such a punch a few months ago, he would have to take more than a month to recover.

In an instant, Su Mo's aura heightened. The vital energy on his head was like a sword. He had fully displayed his ability.

Clang!

The Black-dark Sword was out of the sheath. In an instant, the air in front was slashed and there was a huge crack. The vigorous sword Qi shot a hundred meters. Wherever the sword Qi passed through, the white beam split into two and shot in two directions.

Whoosh!

Su Mo stepped on the ground, leaving behind a series of residual shadow. He moved like an arrow, approaching Yi Xiaoguang.

"Piercing Wind Devil!"

Su Mo threw out a stroke with his sword. A dazzling dark light suddenly appeared one meter away from Yi Xiaoguang.

The light was like a dark lightning that transformed into a dazzling sword ray and stabbed toward Yi Xiaoguang's chest.

"So fast?"

Yi Xiaoguang was shocked. He knew that Su Mo had fast body movement, but he had not expected his attack to be so swift and violent.

Earlier, he had just thrown out a fist radiance.

In the blink of a moment, he was attacked by Su Mo.

The attacking speed was too quick for Yi Xiaoguang to react.

Yi Xiaoguang was vigorously pushed back. Instantly, he threw out two punches in defense. Two bright discs, as big as a lid, appeared on his fists.

Boom!

The sword ray was razor-sharp and pierced through the discs, and vigorously pushed Yi Xiaoguang backward. The aftermath of the sword ray left a deep cut on his shoulder.

"Cross Chopping Technique of Wind Devil!"

After throwing out one blow, Su Mo attacked again with a cross-like sword Qi.

The sword Qi was vast and mighty. It carried destructive waves and was as swift as the wind. It created turbulence and the surrounding air was torn apart.

Yi Xiaoguang shivered with fear. He felt that he was in great danger.

"Light Across the Sky!"

Yi Xiaoguang's genuine Qi surged, with layer after layer of Body-protection Genuine Qi on his body. He threw out a punch toward the sword Qi.

Boom!

The cross-like sword Qi was razor-sharp. It easily counteracted the fist radiance and slashed onto Yi Xiaoguang's chest.

"Ah!"

A shrill cry was heard.

The sword Qi tore apart Yi Xiaoguang's Body-protection Genuine Qi and exploded at his chest.

Blood gushed out, and the residues of his internal organs spewed all over.

Yi Xiaoguang's chest was almost blown up.

"You… how can it be?"

Yi Xiaoguang's eyes were filled with astonishment. His lips quivered, and he fell to the ground.

Yi Xiaoguang died in three strokes!

The whole place was in dead silence!

All the disciples were thunderstruck.

Su Mo remained so powerful, so overbearing!

Regardless of who he met from the Sky Alliance, Su Mo suppressed and killed them easily.

Su Mo stood tall at the fighting ring. He turned and gazed sharply at Nangong Linjue, who was standing far-off. He gave him a challenging look.
