Warrior’s Promise - Chapter 29

Chapter 29


Su Mo quickly passed through the thick mountain forest with Xi'er on his back .
Those men in black kept following him at more than 100 meters behind .
Su Mo fully applied his body move to widen the distance between them .
Shadow Steps were for close combat, so they did not have a great effect on long-distance running .
Of course, the key reason was that his skills could not be comprehensively applied in the high mountains and the thick forest full of thistles and thorns .
Besides, Su Mo also had Xi'er on his back .
"Su Mo, you can't get away!" the middle-aged man in black yelled behind him .
Su Mo smiled disdainfully, thinking, "If it weren't for Xi'er's safety, you'd be running away from me!"
"Brother Su Mo, I beg you . Just put me down!" Xi'er said on his back .
"Xi'er, stop! I won't leave you for as long as I'm alive!" Su Mo said firmly .
Xi'er felt deeply touched by Su Mo's words .
With Xi'er on his back, Su Mo ran like the wind, which caused him to bleed unstoppably .
"I can't keep doing this!"
Su Mo frowned . Bleeding would only make his body weaker .
"I have an idea!" 
Suddenly, Su Mo had an idea and began running in another direction .
A moment later, he saw a small cave .
This was the same place where he had found the Purple Spirit Fruit .
Su Mo entered the cave quickly with Xi'er on his back .
He glanced around the cave . The corpse of Wei Long, whom he had killed, had been eaten by demonic beasts and reduced to pieces of cloth .
"Xi'er, wait for me here . I'll go out to kill these dogs," Su Mo said, putting Xi'er down .
"Brother Su Mo!" Xi'er firmly grasped Su Mo's hands, looking worried .
"Don't worry! I'll protect you forever! I can't be killed easily!"
Su Mo patted Xi'er's soft hands and kissed her forehead gently . After that, he turned to leave .
Xi'er stood there in a daze, like she had been shocked by electricity .
"I will protect you forever!" Feeling the residual warmth on her forehead, Xi'er recalled Su Mo's words .
She cried! Her tears flowed down her cheeks!
However, a joyful smile appeared on her face .
Su Mo went out of the cave, seeing that it had been surrounded by several men in black .
At that moment, Su Mo blocked the entrance of the cave, so Xi'er was quite safe .
Without her on his back, he could easily slaughter these enemies .
"Su Mo, you have nowhere to run!" the leader said with a cold laugh . He had not expected that Su Mo would be so foolish to hide in a cave .
Now, Su Mo was trapped like a rat in a hole .
"Who said I need to escape? It's time for you to escape!" Su Mo sneered, thinking, "These pieces of trash want to kill me . What a joke!"
"How dare you still be so rude on your deathbed!" The middle-aged leader scorned him and shouted, "Attack him!"
He led the way, chopping his revolving saber toward Su Mo .
Buzz!
Su Mo's refined sword disappeared and was replaced by a silvery long sword .



It was Spirit-slayer .
"You're courting death!" Su Mo shouted loudly and bore down on the incoming saber without dodging .
"Final Hit of Heavenly Wind!"
Su Mo applied his strongest movement .
The middle-aged man in black was the leader of the enemies, so if he was killed, the others would not stand a chance .
His unmatched sword radiance was like dazzling starlight, rising into the sky and tearing through the air .
The saber and sword then crashed into each other violently .
Boom!
A fierce burst of force erupted in all directions .

Crack!
The leader's long saber was broken . The sword radiance halted for a second before shooting toward the leader with full strength .
"What?"
The leader was frightened, but it was too late for him to dodge, so he could only turn his body to protect his vital organs .
Slice!
With a flash of sword radiance, a long arm flew into the air and sprayed red blood everywhere like rain .
"Ah!!"
The leader screamed, and his face twisted in severe pain .
He retreated quickly away from Su Mo .
Su Mo did not attack him again, but instead, he turned and aimed his long sword toward the other men in black .
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"


Su Mo's eyes glinted coldly, and his body flitted around, leaving a series of residual shadows as his long sword kept attacking .
"Gale Blade!"
"Swirling Winds and Clouds!"
"Wind Roaring in the Sky!"
These men in black only had an Lv 7 Qi cultivation Realm, so they were even weaker than Wei Liang . There was no way they could defeat Su Mo .
With the Spirit-slayer Sword, Su Mo became so powerful that he could kill a man with each step .
In no time, the rest of them were all killed .
"What . . . "
The injured leader was greatly frightened and stared at Su Mo in horror .
Realizing that it was impossible to kill Su Mo, he turned to escape quickly without hesitation .
"Whoosh!"
Su Mo suddenly sprang forward to block the leader's path .
"Do you think you can escape today?" Su Mo asked indifferently .
"Su Mo, I beg you . . . let me go . "
The leader's arm was cut off, and he lost a great deal of blood . His complexion turned as white as paper .
"Well, if you tell me who you are and why you're trying to kill me, I might consider letting you go," Su Mo said with a sneer .
"We're guards of the Mansion of the City Governor . His son wants to kill you and capture Xi'er . " The leader concealed nothing from Su Mo .
　　
He was the same guard who had reported Su Mo's whereabouts to Lin Xiao .
He knew that it was impossible for him to go back to the Mansion of the City Governor, for he had failed his task and missed an arm . If he went back, he would be killed .


Therefore, he did not intend to hide any information .
"Swish!"
As Su Mo was lost in thought, the middle-aged man turned around and escaped .
Having seen Su Mo kill the others in a short time, he knew Su Mo would not let him go .
"Whoosh!"
After he ran only a few steps, a sharp sword radiance instantly shot toward him and penetrated his heart .
Su Mo's eyes glinted coldly . He was never soft-hearted to his enemies .
"So it's Lin Xiao? He will pay the price for your actions," Su Mo murmured .
After all the men in black were killed, Su Mo hurried to enter the cave .
He saw that Xi'er had come out of the cave and was standing at the entrance, staring at Su Mo .
"Xi'er!" he called toward her .  
"Brother Su Mo!"
She suddenly ran like the wind to Su Mo and entered his arms, holding his waist tightly .
Su Mo smelled her elegant fragrance, and he was calmed by the touch of her soft body .
"Xi'er, don't be afraid! I've killed them . " Su Mo patted her back to comfort her .
After a while, she left Su Mo's arms, slightly blushing .
"Xi'er, weren't you curious about how I mummified the demonic beasts?" Su Mo said suddenly, "In fact, human beings are the same . In a second, I'll swallow their essence and blood . "
Su Mo went to the corpses and sat cross-legged, releasing his Martial Soul .
