Warrior's Promise
chapter-2462

At that moment, everybody’s gaze fell on Tun Xu Dragon Emperor.

Most people in the Dragon Tribe hoped that the Dragon Emperor would keep Su Mo. After all, Su Mo’s talent surpassed that of everybody in the Deity Plane and he was a rare genius.

However, they were unable to influence the Dragon Emperor’s decision.

The other forces were merely looking on. Su Mo was a reincarnated body and his cultivation level was too far behind Di Yihun and Tuoba Qingyun’s. He was sure to be killed.

Even if he were to keep his life for the time being, he could not contend with Di Yihun and Tuoba Qingyun. No matter what would become of Su Mo, the forces would not step in at that moment.

Su Mo looked impassive and cold. He was looking at Tun Xu Dragon Emperor as well.

Long Teng looked gloomy and he was fuming with anger. Although he had made it known that he would go through thick and thin with Su Mo, the Dragon Emperor did not give a damn about it.

Long Teng could not understand why the Dragon Emperor refused to protect Su Mo. Is he trying to suppress him?

Tun Xu Dragon Emperor sat at the Stand, looking impassive. After pondering for a while, he looked at Su Mo and said, “Tu Xiao, since you have killed their men, you have to settle the feuds!”

The Dragon Emperor did not push Su Mo to the corner. As the ruler of the Dragon Tribe, he could not hand Su Mo over to the outsiders as Su Mo was a member of the Dragon Tribe at that moment.

If he had handed Su Mo over, Su Mo would be doomed. However, his reputation as a Dragon Emperor would be tarnished.

He was not concerned about if Su Mo were to die but, he had to secure his position.

Long Teng was influential in the Dragon Tribe, and as the ruler of the Dragon Tribe, the Dragon Emperor had to be fair in handling the matter.

He could not allow his position as the ruler to be affected, as that would foil his plan.

“Settle the feuds?” Su Mo started to ponder when he heard what the Dragon Emperor had said. It would be impossible to settle the feuds.

First of all, his feud with the Ultimate Supreme Being Palace was about the Ultimate Holy Sword and the secret to the Ultimate Sword Art. Su Mo would not hand them over to the Ultimate Supreme Being Palace and thus this feud could not be settled.

As for the feuds with Heavenly Palace and Earth Palace, they would be settled only if he were to die.

Thus, it was impossible for him to settle the feuds.

However, the matter would not be resolved unless he could let the various forces see some hope.

“It’s very easy to settle!”

Su Mo looked at Zi Xiao, Tian Chenyu, Di Zang Supreme Being, and Lei Huo Supreme Being and said, “Among the disciples whom you have brought along with you, if they manage to defeat me within a same-rank fight, I will surrender myself!”

Although Su Mo’s voice was not loud, it was filled with confidence and it resounded through the area like a gong.

“Hoho! Su Mo, I’m not stupid! Everyone knows that you have great combat strength, and no one within the same rank can defeat you!” Chi Yun Supreme Being from the Great Rotating Divine Hall sneered, and he was the first to speak up.

He was not trying to elevate Su Mo, but everybody knew that Su Mo was invincible in the same rank fight.

Even so, many geniuses from the various forces were tempted to challenge him.

They had the desire to spar with Su Mo as they knew that he was mighty.

It was especially so with the geniuses from the Chaotic Holy Court, Ancient Demon State, and Starlight Court. Although they did not have a feud with Su Mo, they would have liked to have had an opportunity to spar with him.

Moreover, they did not believe that Su Mo was invincible among those of the same rank.

Initially, these geniuses had the intention of sparring with Long Teng, and they had not expected Su Mo to come into the picture.

Zi Xiao, Tian Chenyu, and Di Zang Supreme Being did not say a word. Chi Yun Supreme Being had voiced their thoughts that no one within the same rank could defeat Su Mo.

“Hoho! I shall give you another chance!”

Su Mo laughed and said. He looked sharply at the people and said proudly, “My cultivation level is currently at Rank 3 Advanced True God Realm. Anyone below Rank 5 is welcome to challenge me. If I am defeated, my life will belong to him.”

The minute Su Mo made that statement, the entire area was in dead silence. Everyone widened their eyes and dropped their jaws in amazement.

Below Rank 5?

That was to say, anyone below Rank 5 True God Realm could decide Su Mo’s destiny if he could defeat him!

Many people were stunned. Su Mo was overly confident of himself. He was too presumptuous. His cultivation level was only at Rank 3 Advanced True God Realm but he seemed confident in defeating those who were below Rank 5!

“This is getting interesting!”

A middle-aged man in a white robe from the Chaotic Holy Court fixed his gaze on Su Mo and smiled.

Su Mo had cultivated the Chaotic Orthodox Practice of his Chaotic Holy Court, and the middle-aged man was curious as to where Su Mo got his confidence from.

Long Teng, Xuan Tian Supreme Being, and Jiang Fengran were astounded by what Su Mo had said.

Although they knew that Su Mo had great combat strength, he had welcomed martial artists who were a few realms higher than him to challenge him. They were worried as Su Mo’s opponents were likely to be the Favored Ones.

Tian Chenyu, Di Zang Supreme Being, and Zi Xiao were happy when they heard what Su Mo had said and their eyes were glittering.

“Do you mean it?” Tian Chenyu and the few of them asked simultaneously. If it were a fight within the same rank, they were not confident that their geniuses could defeat Su Mo. However, if those below Rank 5 could challenge Su Mo, they had absolute confidence in defeating him!

“Of course!”

Su Mo nodded. He turned his head to look at the Dragon Emperor and asked, “Dragon Emperor, can I settle the feud in this manner?”

“Yes!” The Dragon Emperor opened his mouth and gave his consent.

When Tian Chenyu and Di Zang Supreme Being heard that the Dragon Emperor had given his consent, they were excited. Since the Dragon Emperor had agreed to it, as long as their disciples could defeat or capture Su Mo, everything would be settled!

“Long Teng, this suggestion is proposed by Su Mo. Are you against it?” Zi Xiao asked coldly.

“Su Mo’s wish is my wish. If he loses, I will not care about him!” Long Teng said grimly. He would not stop Su Mo since Su Mo was the one who had suggested it.

Although Long Teng had mentioned that he would not care about Su Mo if he were defeated, Long Teng would definitely step in as Su Mo’s life was tied to his.

“Hoho! Since Long Teng does not object to it, we do not have to stand on ceremony!” Tian Chenyu said loudly. He had to get his disciples to challenge Su Mo first. He could not let the people from Earth Palace do so as things would get tricky if they were to defeat Su Mo.

“Gentlemen, I have to let you know that this is not sparring. This is a life-and-death fight. The one who is defeated will have to die!” Su Mo said coldly. His voice was filled with killing intent when he looked at the disciples from Heavenly Palace, Earth Palace, Ultimate Supreme Being Palace, and Lightning Flame Supreme Being Palace.

The people who challenged him had to be prepared to lose their lives.

Su Mo would give his best in this fight and he would not show any mercy.

He used to have reservations in his fights and he would hide his strength. However, his identity had been exposed and it was no longer necessary for him to hide his strength.

Although Su Mo’s voice was filled with killing intent, the disciples from the various forces were not threatened by him and they merely smiled coldly.

The geniuses who had lower cultivation levels than Su Mo would naturally not challenge him. However, those geniuses who had higher cultivation levels than Su Mo had great confidence in themselves.

“Let’s go to the Small Empty World!”

The Dragon Emperor stood up and said loudly. He walked into the sky and went off.

Since there would be a fight, it could not be held in Dragon City. They had to hold it in the Small World.

The minute the Dragon Emperor left, the elders from the Dragon Tribe followed suit.

“Su Mo, let’s go!” Long Teng called out to Su Mo. They left with the First Elders and the rest of the elders and followed behind the Dragon Emperor.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

The top powers and disciples from the various forces and the people from the Dragon Tribe left the Square for the Small Empty World.

On the way, Tian Chenyu, Di Zang Supreme Being, and Zi Xiao were sending messages to their disciples, secretly making the arrangements.

Fortunately, they had brought the Favored Ones with them to the Dragon Tribe. Although some of them were not Favored Ones, they were gifted geniuses.

Soon, a multitude followed the Dragon Emperor into the Small Empty World in the Dragon Tribe.
