Warrior’s Promise - Chapter 1248

Chapter 1248: 1248

Above the sea, hundreds of thousands of saber Qi filled with killing desire covered the heavens and the earth .

 Su Mo wore a severe expression on his face . There was no way he could escape the attacks all around him .

 He could only concentrate his efforts on defending himself, since there was no way to avoid the attacks .

 BOOM!

 In an instant, Su Mo’s aura burst out of his body and caused a series of explosions all around him .

 At this moment, Su Mo mobilized the Three Secret Techniques and his strength immediately increased by a tremendous degree .

 However, the Three Secret Techniques seemed to have paled over time and their effect was diminishing .

 Su Mo utilized 50% of his spiritual Qi only to triple his combat strength .

 By the time Su Mo had reached the Martial Emperor Realm, the effects of the Three Secret Techniques would likely be insignificant .

 “Buzz—”

 The Dark Force in his body was like a tumultuous river while the long sword in his hand started emitting a three-colored sword radiance .

 “Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!”

 With the sword radiance dancing and the sword shadow twinkling, the dense three-colored sword Qi rose to meet the hundreds and thousands of saber Qi slashing down .

 In the twinkling of an eye, the sword Qi and saber Qi had collided with each other .

 Boom! Boom! Rumble!

 Explosion after explosion produced deafening noises . The sundered sword Qi and saber Qi brought stormy waves surging in all directions .

 “Swish!”

 In a flash, Su Mo managed to quickly retreat 500 kilometers back .

 His strength was lagging far behind his opponent’s . The blast waves from these sundered Qis were mostly coming in his direction .

 Despite this, the violent surges of blast waves hit his Body-protection Dark Force, causing the blood in his body to surge .

 “Hmmm?” Leng Jiang saw that Su Mo had managed to block his attack and a surprised look appeared in his eyes .

 Although he knew from He Chuanyan that Su Mo’s strength was formidable, Leng Jiang had not expected it to be so strong .

 After all, his strength had far surpassed He Chuanyan’s .

 At this moment, the one thousand disciples of the Shenwu Academy standing on the one dozen islands became astonished .

 “Su Mo is surprisingly capable! Was he deliberately hiding his cultivation? He is indeed outstanding!”

 “Leng Jiang’s ability is indeed formidable . It is unbelievable for Su Mo to fight Leng Jiang, who is three levels higher in his cultivation!”

 “I had thought there wasn’t any doubt that Leng Jiang would defeat Su Mo . I thought Su Mo would be easily crushed . Surprisingly, there’s something still worth watching!”

 Many spectators were getting excited . If a martial artist in the Emperor-to-be Realm managed to resist a Lvl 3 Martial Emperor, everyone would be surprised!

 It would be a miracle if Su Mo had kept himself from being defeated .

 There were very few Martial Emperor Realm disciples in the Shenwu Academy who could resist an opponent three levels above him .

 Apart from God’s Son and the 18 Holy Sons, only a handful could transcend three levels and fight a superior opponent while they were in the Martial Emperor Realm .

 “This is getting interesting!”

 Taishi Xuan curved his lips into a smile . An idea came into his mind . It is not a bad idea to recruit this talent into the Taishi Family .

 Of course Su Mo had to survive this battle first . He could tell from Leng Jiang’s look that he was determined to kill Su Mo .

 He threw a glance at Mu Li standing under a distant old tree and transported himself to her side in a flash .

 “Instructor Mu Li, what is Su Mo’s background?” Taishi Xuan asked Mu Li with a smile .

 He believed Mu Li would know Su Mo’s background .

 After all, she had helped Su Mo out when Taishi Xuan tried to make things difficult for him at the square . She had claimed that Su Mo was highly regarded by Grand Master Huoyuan .

 “I’m not sure!” Mu Li said, shaking her head .

 Upon hearing Mu Li’s answer, Taishi Xuan could not help but frowned . He was a little annoyed by the lady’s nonchalant attitude towards everyone .

 Nevertheless, he had a soft spot for these characters .

 He could derive a sense of accomplishment from winning her heart .

 “Instructor Mu Li, I would like your advice over matters concerning my cultivation . See you tomorrow about this!” Taishi Xuan decided to stop talking about Su Mo .

 “Hmmm!” Mu Li nodded gently . Although she did not have a good impression of Taishi Xuan, it was not right for an Instructor to refuse a disciple’s queries on cultivation .

 Mu Li could not be bothered about Taishi Xuan at this moment . She focused her attention entirely on Su Mo .

 Although she knew that Su Mo was exceptional in his willpower and was gifted in craftsmanship, she was also astonished when she found out that his strength was surprisingly strong .

 It was extremely difficult for even a top-notch Emperor-to-be genius to stand up against a Lvl 3 Martial Emperor .

 Despite this, Su Mo was still going to taste defeat .

 He must have reached the limit in his resistance . There was only a slim chance that he could maintain his undefeated state .

 In the sky, above the surface of the sea .

 Leng Jiang was in no hurry to strike . He squinted as he looked at Su Mo .

 He had failed to defeat Su Mo in two moves . Hearing the whispers from the crowd, Leng Jiang felt somewhat humiliated . The killing desire in his heart intensified .

 “Brother Leng, Su Mo is an expert in sword formation . Watch out for his Spiritual Sword Formation!”

 He Chuanyan’s voice rang out to warn him at this moment .

 He Chuanyan did not look pleased . He thought Leng Jiang could easily kill Su Mo in one move and did not expect Su Mo to be able to resist Leng Jiang at all .

 That was why he reminded Leng Jiang not to fall for Su Mo’s tricks .

 Leng Jiang was doubtful and surprised to learn that Su Mo was an expert in sword formation .

 However, he was not overly bothered about the fact .

 There were quite a number of experts in sword formation within the Shenwu Academy . While they were all rather capable, their power were limited to their mastery of the sword formation .

 A few dozen Spiritual Swords would not pose any threat to Su Mo, given his level of cultivation .

 However, it might be challenging for Su Mo at his current cultivation to mobilize even more Spiritual Swords .

 “Su Mo, my previous strike was just an appetizer . Now I will make you know the meaning of hopelessness!” Leng Jiang stood at a vantage point over Su Mo and looked down at him with chilling eyes .

 As he rotated the long saber in his hands slightly, a brilliant golden saber radiance penetrated the sea water .

 Although Su Mo was keeping a straight face, he was frantically exploring the different possible tactics to defeat his opponent in his heart!

 He was aware, however, that his opponent had not displayed his true capabilities . He could not determine his opponent’s true strength .

 “Heaven-ensnaring Saber Technique—the First Move of Ensnaring the Heavens!”

 Leng Jiang let out a loud cry and slashed his saber so that it came down heavily on Su Mo .

 In that instant, a terrifying 3,000-kilometer long saber shadow came down forcefully on Su Mo like a rainbow .

 The gigantic saber shadow struck at lightning speed with tremendous power and a brilliant radiance . It shattered everything .

 Su Mo could feel an amazing power the moment the sword shadow appeared . The force seemed to coagulate space and bound everything up .

 “What’s happening?”

 Su Mo was taken aback . He felt it difficult to move as a powerful force froze him . The saber shadow had slashed down and kept his body under bondage .

 The air, the sea and everything else within this 50-kilometer radius seemed to have stopped . Everything came to a standstill .

 The Heaven-ensnaring Saber Technique had bound the heavens, the earth, and humans—in a word, everything!
