Warrior's Promise

Chapter 121: Careful

Translator: Transn Editor: Transn

The battle continued outside Guanwu City.

The two armies were all in a killing rage and attacked crazily without thought. Corpses piled into mountains, and blood collected into flowing rivers.

On the city wall, Su Mo had a dejected expression and felt very defeated.

He knew that Fang Xiao was right. If he joined the battle, he would be besieged by Ironforest Country soldiers.

However, even though he knew this, he still desperately wanted the endless amount of blood essence and Martial Souls that could be available to him.

It was as difficult as saying no to an unworldly beautiful woman who was seducing him but he could only sit and watch.

He felt extremely upset.

After a while, Su Mo calmed his emotions and decided to wait patiently.

The battle was raging outside the city, and after some time, the Skymoon army began to show signs of defeat.

Wild Wolf Army had the advantage of numbers, causing Black Scale Army to suffer loss after loss and retreat constantly.

Wild Wolf Army had battle units consisting of a thousand soldiers that killed endlessly.

There were at least 5,000 to 6,000 more men in Wild Wolf Army than Black Scale Army.

This gave them a great advantage.

Even the lowest soldiers in Wild Wolf Army had a cultivation of Lv 9 Qi Cultivation Realm. All the 10-member Captains were at Lv 1 or Lv 2 of the Spiritual Martial Realm, and all the 100-member Captains were at Lv 3 or Lv 4 Spiritual Martial Realm.

All the 1,000-member Captains were at Lv 5 Spiritual Martial Realm.

There might have been 600 to 700 more martial artists in the Spiritual Martial Realm in Ironforest Army than in Skymoon Army.

These martial artists were the key to victory.

Both armies had generals above Lv 7 Spiritual Martial Realm.

But these people were all entangled with the opposing generals of the same cultivation.

Therefore, martial artists of lower and middle levels in the Spiritual Martial Realm were the staunch strength and were important to decide the victory of this battle.

Su Mo looked out of the city at the gradually waning Skymoon army and furrowed his brows.

“City Governer Fang, I am willing to serve as a soldier and defeat the Wild Wolf Army!”

Su Mo begged once again.

“Governor Fang, we are willing to go out to the battlefield!”

A large group of disciples of the four sects begged too.

Among them were disciples at Lv 5 and Lv 6 Spiritual Martial Realm, who were brimming with fighting desire and gearing up for battle.

Fang Xiao realized that the situation was dire and had a serious expression.

Yuan Zhan had said that if the army could resist the Ironforest Army, then there would be no need for the disciples of the four sects to join in the battle.

However, if the army was failing, then he could send in the disciples to help.

Fang Xiao sighed and glanced towards someone.

That person was an elegant young man in a snow-white robe carrying a large bow.

The young man slightly nodded towards Fang Xiao.

Fang Xiao got the message and said loudly, “Listen up, disciples, now prepare for battle!”

Everyone snapped into attention.

They were finally going to be able to fight!

Su Mo was also extremely excited.

After a while, Fang Xiao ordered with a serious expression, “Disciples of the four sects, prepare to join in the battle instantly and assist the army against Wild Wolf Army.”

“Yes!”

Everyone agreed loudly.

“Attack!”

As Fang Xiao roared, everyone swiftly jumped off the city wall and rushed towards the battlefield.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The young figures flitted out, and in the blink of an eye, three or four hundred disciples had disappeared from view.

On the city wall, besides Fang Xiao and other guards, there was only one person left.

He was Luo Qianfan in his snow-white robe.

“Master, are you going to join in as well?”

Fang Xiao bowed to Luo Qianfan and asked respectfully.

“Of course!”

Luo Qianfan nodded.

“Do you want to reconsider? It is too dangerous!” Fang Xiao said solemnly.

“Dangerous?”

Luo Qianfan shook his head and said, “If I retreat in the face of danger, I will never become a strong martial artist!”

Fang Xiao sighed and said to someone behind him, “Qi Cheng, stay by master’s side to protect him.”

A tall middle-aged man stood behind Fang Xiao. He was Fang Xiao’s bodyguard and was at the Peak Lv 7 Spiritual Martial Realm.

“Yes!”

The man said as he stepped forward.

“There is no need!”

Luo Qianfan glanced at the guard and ordered, “Go protect Su Mo. He is very important to me, and I can not afford to lose him.”

“Master…”

Fang Xiao wanted to say something but was interrupted by Luo Qianfan’s raised hand.

“Carry out my order! If Su Mo is hurt, you will have to answer to me.” Luo Qianfan yelled and added, “Besides, if it looks like the Skymoon Army is losing, immediately evacuate Guanwu City.”

At that, Luo Qianfan did not stick around any longer and rushed toward the battlefield.

“Ah!”

Fang Xiao sighed but could not disobey Luo Qianfan’s order, becuase he had an extraordinary identity.

Afterwards, Fang Xiao said to the man next to him, “Qi Cheng, listen to master and protect Su Mo in secret.”

“Yes!”

After Qi Cheng agreed, he immediately disappeared.

The disciples of the four sects were extremely fast and plunged into the Ironforest army in a pointed formation.

There were three disciples of Sky Rapier Sect who were at Lv 6 Spiritual Martial Realm.

Another 17 had a cultivation of Lv 5 Spiritual Martial Realm.

There were also over 60 disciples at Lv 4 Spiritual Martial Realm.

The three disciples at Lv 6 Spiritual Martial Realm led the group, and the disciples at Lv 5 Spiritual Martial Realm followed closely behind.

Hundreds of disciples shot throughout the Ironforest Army with great and irresistable force.

Experts of the Ironforest army saw the large amounts of powerful disciples from the four sects, charging towards the enemy.

“Charge!”

Three Wild Wolf Army knights rushed towards Su Mo with a roar, waving glinting long spears.

“Die!”

Su Mo waved his long sword and immediately slashed the three knights into two.

Su Mo glanced over the entire battlefield and had an idea.

“It is time to devour!”

He did not have to completely release his Martial Soul to devour blood essence and Martial Souls.

Instead, he could simply secretly stir his Marital Soul in his body to release a devouring force.

The effects would not be as strong as releasing the devouring soul, but it was enough.

Su Mo’s ability to devour blood essence and other people’s Martial Souls was a secret, and he had not told anyone except Xi’er.

He did not want anyone else to know for the time being.

Thus, he could only act in secret.

Su Mo awoke his Devouring Martial Spirit, which immediately began to swirl slowly, and a shapeless devouring force immediately erupted from his body.

All the Blood Qi floating in the air and the blood flowing on the ground immediately collected slowly towards Su Mo.

He was worried that someone would notice, so he did not use all his power to drive his Martial Soul.

His devouring force was not even a tenth of how powerful it usually was.

He had no choice but to be careful, because his previous behavior had made him a very prominent figure.

Also, he heard that the elders of the four sects were secretly watching the disciples in this battle to rate their performance.

This made Su Mo even more cautious.

Wisps of blood essence flowed towards him, and free Martial Souls floated slowly towards him as well.

Wherever Su Mo passed, the blood on the ground would dry up.

When he passed a dead soldier, that soldier’s body would immediately shrivel up.

Su Mo’s cultivation was rapidly increasing!
