Warrior's Promise
chapter-273

"We are injured?"

Xin Wuming and the rest chuckled and gave Su Mo a condescending look.

"Boy, even if I can only fight with 60% of my strength because of my injuries, it'll not be hard to kill you!" Xin Wuming sneered disdainfully and continued, "You have five breaths to surrender the treasures before I kill you!"

Despite saying so, Xin Wuming was not going to let Su Mo off even if he surrendered the treasures.

No one had ever dared to ask him to screw off since he was born!

"Kill me?"

Su Mo's eyes glinted with contempt. These people were severely injured and wounded all over their bodies. He only needed a few seconds to devour their blood completely.

"That won't be necessary. I'll take your life within a breath!" Su Mo said coldly, without concealing his murderous desire.

Su Mo attacked instantly. His Spirit-slayer Sword was unsheathed in the blink of an eye and turned into a dazzling ray of sword radiance that drew a beautiful curve, slashing toward Xin Wuming.

The powerful swordplay soared into the sky, and the chilling light soon neared Xin Wuming's waist.

"You're seeking death!"

Xin Wuming cried in anger as he did not expect Su Mo to be daring enough to initiate an attack, but he wasn't afraid. He unsheathed his saber, exerted his Genuine Vitality, and was about to kill Su Mo.

Right then, his expression suddenly changed. He felt his inner Genuine Vitality go into a mess, and his movements paused as a result.

Moreover, the wounds on his body from the trial suddenly burst open and his blood started gushing out. Xin Wuming was completely baffled!

Slash!

The ray of sword radiance flashed, and Xin Wuming's eyes suddenly gaped as a line of blood appeared at his waist.

Pom!

Xin Wuming was then split in half. His upper body fell to the ground and his guts spilled all over.

Everyone was dumbstruck!

They stared at the scene in disbelief. Xin Wuming, who was a genius from the Primordial Sect ranking at No. 93 on the List of Top 100 Talents, had been killed with one move!

Feng Xiu, Leng Yunfeng, and the other geniuses were also stunned.

During Su Mo's attack, Xin Wuming was not the only being affected by the devouring power. They were close enough to be greatly affected as well.

Feng Xiu suffered the greatest impact as his wounds opened up and his blood started gushing out.

However, Feng Xiu and the other geniuses had no time to check their wounds. They were staring at Xin Wuming with stupefied expressions instead.

"How... how can this be possible?" Xin Wuming murmured as he lied on the ground.

As a martial artist at the Peak Lv 3 True Spirit Realm, Xin Wuming had a strong vitality. He did not die instantly despite being slashed in half!

"I told you that all those who wanted to kill me were dead!"

Su Mo shot a cold glance at the dying Xin Wuming with an indifferent expression.

"Who... who are you? Why do you know the Primordial Sect's 'Primordial Qi Manual'?" Xin Wuming stared at Su Mo and asked angrily.

As soon as Su Mo attacked, Xin Wuming had recognized his cultivation method.

Primordial Qi Manual was a Lower Lv 3 Cultivation Skill from the Primordial Sect. Although Xin Wuming did not practice it before, he knew it very well as there were many others in the Primordial Sect that practiced this cultivation method.

Su Mo was surprised to hear that. Only then did he know that Primordial Qi Manual came from the Primordial Sect.

However, it was a pity that Xin Wuming's question would never be answered. He soon lost the glint in his eyes and died.

Su Mo looked at the other four geniuses and asked, "Are you four going to ask for my treasure again?"

Swish! Swish! Swish!

All of them immediately retreated several hundred meters.

They looked dead serious while staring at Su Mo in silence. Xin Wuming's hasty death had instilled fear in the four of them, who had thought they were invincible amongst the young generation South of the Yan River.

For an instant, they felt their Genuine Vitality and blood going out of control!

"This man's a demon! He's abnormal!"

"Hahahaha!"

Su Mo laughed as he rose into the sky. Amidst everyone's gaze and shock, he flew away rapidly and disappeared in a flash.

Although one could not enter the cluster of buildings through the air and had to go through the pathways below, they could leave by flying out.

Su Mo felt ecstatic. After entering the True Spirit Realm, he could easily defy gravity and soar freely in the sky by activating his Genuine Vitality.

Su Mo was even more delighted when thinking about his fruitful journey in the Ethereal Territory.

Not only had he reached the Peak Lv 2 True Spirit Realm, he had even obtained the Nirvana Swordplay Skill, which was at an astounding Lower Lv 6.

After flying out of the ancient city, Su Mo hurried toward the exit of the Ethereal Territory. He did not want to stay any longer since he had already gotten what he wanted.

Furthermore, he had killed Xin Wuming. It was highly likely that masters from the Primordial Sect were at the exit, so if the news got out before him, he would be in deep trouble.

The speed of flight was incredible, and Su Mo managed to reach the exit in a mere six hours.

From afar, he could already see people leaving through the exit. There were so many people that entered the Ethereal Territory, and those in the ancient city were just the minority.

Swoosh!

After a short while, Su Mo flew into the exit. He was then struck with dizziness, before appearing back on the Gale Prairie.

He glanced around and saw that there were still thousands of people at the exit despite the many people that had already left. Most of them were older masters from the various sects and they were all waiting for their disciples' return.

Swoosh!

Su Mo then flew away in a flash without hesitation and disappeared into horizon.

Since Su Mo was a martial artist at the Lv 2 True Spirit Realm, the crowd only took a quick glance at him before looking away. No one paid him any further attention.

15 minutes after Su Mo had left, a few young men exited the Ethereal Territory and started shouting right away, "Xin Wuming's dead! Someone killed Xin Wuming!"

As their voices spread, chaos flared up among the crowd. After a brief moment, an angry roar burst above Gale Prairie.

"Who the hell is it? Get him!"

...

Su Mo was flying extremely fast and covered several miles in just a few seconds. This was way faster than traveling on the ground. He was thousands of miles away from the Ethereal Territory in just over an hour's time.

A city appeared beneath Su Mo before long. It was Breeze City, one of the many cities that were on the edge of the Gale Prairie.

After thinking about it for a short while, Su Mo landed and entered Breeze City.

He was being cautious. He knew that the masters from the Primordial Sect would likely come after him once the news got out.

Since they would expect him to escape as soon as possible, he decided to go against their expectations and stop at Breeze City temporarily.

After entering the city, he asked for a room at an inn.

While in the room, Su Mo soon decided to return to Gale Island the next morning.

"Duan Jingtian, Pang He, Qi Feiyu, and Meng Han. You'll pay with your blood next!"

Su Mo squinted his eyes as killing desire boiled inside him.
