Warrior's Promise
chapter-187

In the sixth fighting ring, some martial artists started to challenge Su Mo.

Su Mo was still going strong. With his physical body strength that was equivalent to the combat strength of a martial artist at Lv 7 Spiritual Martial Realm and the strength of his partial genuine Qi, he was unstoppable.

Afterall, most martial artists did not have the ability to fight above their level. Geniuses like Xiang Bo were rare and few.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Any martial artist that challenged Su Mo was blasted off the fighting ring by his overwhelming strength.

It was then, that five figures appeared at the entrance of the sixth fighting ring.

They were old and young alike, and even a gorgeous lady.

All of them were martial artists that worked for Four Seas Fighting Ring. Their duty was to stop the winning streak of the challengers.

The five of them were all at the Peak Lv 6 Spiritual Martial Realm. They had powerful combat strength and were not much weaker than Xiang Bo.

They might have lost to Xiang Bo in terms of talent in cultivation, but they were certainly equivalent in terms of fighting above their level.

The higher-ups of Four Seas Fighting Ring had spent lots of time and resources in improving their combat strength.

"This guy is powerful indeed! No wonder the higher-ups summoned all of us!"

The long-haired youth complimented Su Mo, while they were watching his fight.

"Bloody Hand, you can go first! Help us test the water!" the bony old man said to the tall youth beside him.

"Ok!"

The tall youth replied while nodding his head indifferently.

After a brief moment, the tall youth dashed into the fighting ring like an arrow towards Su Mo, who had just defeated another opponent.

"Look, it's Bloody Hand!"

"Seems like Four Seas Fighting Ring is doing something about it!"

Many people on the spectators stand recognized Bloody Hand and started shouting in awe.

Bloody Hand was often sent to stop challenger's winning streaks, so many people were familiar with him.

In fact, Bloody Hand was so powerful that not many could even last three attacks from him.

"I'm Bloody Hand, here to take you on!" Bloody Hand cupped his hands at Su Mo and said.

Bloody Hand dared not underestimate Su Mo at all. In fact, he was dead serious.

His Martial Soul, cultivation method and martial arts techniques were related to blood. Hence, he had a strong sense of reaction towards Qi blood.

In his detection, Su Mo was not a human, but more like a post-archean beast with Blood Qi as vast as a river.

Hence, Bloody Hand was vigilant.

Buzz!

Bloody Hand released his Martial Soul right off the bat.

His Martial Soul was similar to his name, it was a sanguine palm. One could even see the blood flowing on the palm. It was a terrifying sight to behold.

His Martial Soul was not Rank 9 Human Class, just Rank 8.

Immediately, Bloody Hand's vigor grew explosively. His body, and even his genuine Qi, turned sanguine.

Su Mo squinted his eyes. Bloody Hand's vigor was not much weaker than that of Xiang Bo.

Boom!

Bloody Hand moved. He rose into the air and slapped down with his palm.

"Blood Devil's Great Handprint!"

Bloody Hand cried out loudly. A sanguine palm print struck toward Su Mo with an overbearing and bloody intensity.

Su Mo's genuine Qi surged. Just as he was about to be struck, he suddenly paused.

His Devouring Martial Spirit had started to tremble.

Su Mo had a sudden realization. Could it be that his Martial Spirit had detected the Blood Qi in Bloody Hand's attack?

Su Mo then secretly activated his Martial Spirit instead of fighting back.

BUZZ! BUZZ!

The sanguine palm print had yet to approach Su Mo before it started trembling with a sign of collapsing.

The Blood Qi and a part of the genuine Qi on the palm print fell apart and turned to streams of airflow, entering Su Mo's body.

When the palm print was finally close to Su Mo, it was half its original size. The sanguine aura was no longer present, and its power dropped sharply.

Bloody Hand felt his Blood Qi and genuine Qi in turmoil. They were escaping from his body.

Thud!

Su Mo destroyed the palm print with a casual punch.

"What? What's going on?"

Bloody Hand was dumbfounded.

"Why would my attack lose so much power? How could the enormous amount of Blood Qi in my attack collapse?"

"What exactly did Su Mo do?"

Bloody Hand was uncertain. He had not encountered such a strange situation before.

"You can go down now!" Su Mo smiled and said.

He was overjoyed by this ability of his Martial Spirit that he had just discovered.

Then, he used Tiger Roaring and Dragon Fist again and blasted Bloody Hand off the fighting ring with a punch.

Despite Bloody Hand's attempt to resist, his attack was weak like his palm print, as he had spent too much effort trying to calm down the turmoil in him.

Even after getting blasted off the fighting ring, Bloody Hand was still confused and unaware of what was going on.

"What's going on? Did Bloody Hand go easy on him?"

"That can't be true. I think something's going on with Su Mo!"

"This is incredible. Even the powerful Bloody Hand was defeated in a single strike!"

The spectators stand turned noisy with discussions again.

The four other blockers sent by the Fighting Ring frowned. They were confused as well.

However, since Bloody Hand had already lost, they would not waste any time and give Su Mo a chance to rest.

"I'll be next!" the long-haired youth said.

His figure rose into the air and then he landed in the fighting ring firmly.

"I don't know how you could've defeated Bloody Hand so easily, but I will not go down like him!" the long-haired youth said with much confidence and arrogance.

"Really? Make your move then!" Su Mo smiled and said.

He was ready to test the abilities of his Martial Spirit again.

Whoosh!

The long-haired youth moved, but he was not going toward Su Mo. Instead, he fell back rapidly, away from Su Mo.

"Hm?"

Su Mo was puzzled. He had yet to move, so why did the guy fall back?

Su Mo realized it in the next instant. The long-haired youth was using bow and arrow.

An archer could only deliver stunning combat force in long-range combat.

Buzz!

A holographic arrow with nine glowing yellow halos appeared above the long-haired youth.

A Martial Soul of the Rank 9 Human Class!

The arrow pointed toward Su Mo. Just as the Arrow Martial Soul appeared, Su Mo felt a chill, as if he was locked on to by the arrow.

A big black bow appeared in the hands of the long-haired youth. He drew the bow into the shape of a full moon.

A blue arrow then appeared on the big bow.

The blue arrow was not a physical item, it was formed by genuine Qi.

Despite being formed from genuine Qi, that arrow was hundreds of times sharper than a regular steel arrow.

Swoosh!

The bow string trembled as the blue genuine Qi arrow went through the sky like a shooting star. It flashed by as the sonic booms it created echoed loudly.

If a word was to be chosen to describe that arrow, it would be "fast".

Extremely fast!

If a weaker martial artist were to face that arrow, he would have been killed before he could even react!
