Warrior's Promise

Chapter 1979: The Fourth

“What do you think? What rank will Shangguan Hao get to?” someone asked curiously.

“I believe about rank 40 would be the maximum!”

“He might even be stuck at rank 50!”

“With his current speed, being ranked 30 should be possible!”

The crowd continued to buzz among themselves, trying to guess the maximum rank Su Mo would be.

“This man might not be Su Mo!”

At that point, the young man hesitantly uttered.

“Senior, why do you say so?” the young lady asked in confusion.

Everyone also stared curiously at the young man. They mostly knew the young man as, although Infinite Region was large, there were not many who were King Sages.

“If it is Su Mo, he might not be able to be ranked 50!” the young man confirmed.

“That makes sense. Although Su Mo is strong, he might not be able to make it to rank 50 as he really is only an Initial Stage Martial Sage. Being able to make it up the King Sage Board is probably the maximum he can achieve!”

“If that is the case, then that man must be a King Sage who has hidden his cultivation rank!”

Many people agreed with the young man’s opinion.

Su Mo was a godly talent of a millennial but the group didn’t think that he would be so exceptional.

...

Inside the stone pillar space, Su Mo stood in the empty air. The space in front of him shifted again and Di Yihun reappeared.

“What strength do you want me to use now?”

Di Yihun guessed that Su Mo didn’t want to head up the ranks step by step and so he stared at Su Mo and asked the question.

“The fourth!” Su Mo did not hesitate to shout.

That’s right. He wanted Di Yihun to use the fourth-ranked combat strength. This was not being arrogant. Su Mo wanted to test how strong Mo Jue was.

Mo Jue was fourth previously and although he was then ranked third, his combat strength would not have increased substantially.

As such, he wanted Di Yihun to use the fourth-ranked strength. In that way, he could test whether he had the strength to kill Mo Jue in the test.

“Fourth?” Di Yihun’s eyes narrowed slightly. However, he did not reject Su Mo and nodded his head for the request.

“Can I ask you a question?” Su Mo asked in a low voice.

“What is it?”

“Can you use a Fighting Soul strength or the Blood Force strength?” Su Mo asked. Since Di Yihun wasn’t a real physical body, Su Mo raised the question.

In the previous fights, Di Yihun had not used these strengths.

As the strongest King Sage since ancient times, Di Yihun must have had a Blood Force strength aside from his Fighting Soul.

“I can, but only the top three ranked on the King Sage Board can ask me to use the Fighting Soul and Blood Force strength!” Di Yihun replied.

“I see!” Su Mo nodded his head. As the strongest King Sage since ancient times, Di Yihun had to be exceptional. No one below the Empty God Realm would threaten Di Yihun enough to make him use his full strength.

“Let’s fight!” As Su Mo raised his long sword, his battling intent heightened. He wanted to see how strong the fourth-ranked on the King Sage Board was.

Di Yihun nodded his head before he raised his arm as well, spreading his five fingers before pressing it down on Su Mo.

All of a sudden, the space around him changed, becoming as hard as steel.

Furthermore, the area about a kilometer from him was speedily shrinking, the space force hardening.

This space force was incredibly strong and it seemed as though the empty space had been sealed.

“Hm?” Su Mo exclaimed in surprise. The space force was becoming stronger and stronger. If it shrunk all the way, the explosion that would occur later would be devastating.

“Break!”

Dark Force surged in Su Mo’s body as thick chaotic energy gushed out of his Sacred Elixir.

The Blood Force strength was mobilized as Blood Qi circulated quickly through his body, rays of light illuminating the space.

Boom boom boom!

Space within a few kilometers of Su Mo started to vibrate madly as though the nine heavens were crumbling apart.

However, the space was solid and hard. It was like a large, heavenly cage that bound Su Mo to where he was.

Buzz buzz!!

Terrifying Fighting Soul strength shot to the sky as more than 50 Fighting Souls formed a large sword shape that covered Su Mo.

The strong Sword Force, in addition to Su Mo’s chaotic Dark Force and Blood Force immediately tore the solidified space apart, causing large black cracks to appear in the empty space.

However, although the solidified space was torn apart, the empty space and space force continued to gather together and harden near Su Mo. Together, they gave off a terrifying aura that sent chills down Su Mo’s spine.

This was the reason the space force was quickly being shrunk. Once it exploded, the force of the explosion would be unimaginable.

“Break!” Su Mo struggled to raise the long sword in his arm before bringing it down with a violent swing. Dazzling chaotic rays of light drew through the sky, tearing apart the solidified space.

Kaboom!

The broken space gave off a deafening explosion as the fragments of space that were torn apart shot out in all directions.

“This is only the beginning!” Di Yihun expressionless raised both arms and locked his fingers together.

All of a sudden, the area around Su Mo hardened again.

Not only that, invisible space force within ten kilometers of Su Mo started to gather together.

The power of the invisible space force was so strong, it was enough to deafen Su Mo. It seemed to possess the strength to destroy the earth.

“Strong!” Su Mo’s eyes shone brightly. This attack was much more terrifying than the previous attack.

Space force gathered together and his body threatened to tear apart from the space force pulling at him.

“Defeat!”

Right at that moment, Di Yihun attacked again with a punch at Su Mo.

This punch shook the heavens and earth. Covered entirely in white, its was lively like a giant’s fist.

Kaboom!

The speed of the fist was so fast, it brought wind along with it. Unaffected by the solidified space, it zipped towards Su Mo.

Almost in the blink of an eye, Su Mo was thrown into a dangerous position.

His movements were restricted under the solidified space.

At the same time, the power inside the fist was enough to kill a regular King Sage.

“Shit!” Su Mo’s face fell and without hesitation, he used his strongest hidden card.

Bright sword radiance glowed out of the large sword in his arm as Fighting Souls roared out in rage. Terrifying auras filled all directions.

Under the activation of his Dark Force, a streak of sharp chaotic Sword Qi burst out of the sword.

Shoosh!

Sword Qi blinded eyes with its dazzling radiance. The strong Fighting Soul force in the Sword Qi instantly swept through the boundless space, tearing apart the solidified space.

Shoosh!

Su Mo’s body flashed and he flew right after the route that the Sword Qi had formed through the space for him.

Kaboom!

The giant fist was thrown off into the distance before it could strike at Su Mo.

“Take three strikes!”

As Su Mo flew through the broken space route, he unleashed his sword strikes again. Sword Radiance shot into the air before it heavily struck Di Yihun.

He naturally used his strongest hidden card again with thousands of Fighting Souls being sacrificed by him into the attack.

Multiple Fighting Souls and Fighting Souls strength crashed over one another in the sword strike. This made Su Mo’s attack as frightening as hell.

Shoosh shoosh shoosh!

Every sword strike was stronger than the previous one of the three sword strikes.

Two Sword Qi blocked off Di Yihun’s escape route on the left and right, leaving him with no choice but to meet Su Mo’s attack head-on.

“Strong!” Di Yihun lightly admitted, his expression not changing.

He could naturally tell that Su Mo’s attack had far exceeded what any Martial Sage was capable of.

With that, Di Yihun raised his hand and cupped them together again ,allowing the space around him to solidify.

In an instant, the space in front of him started to speedily gather together, the empty space force becoming an invisible defense.

Kaboom!

As the three Sword Qi struck on the empty space defense, explosions boomed out unstoppably.

The invisible empty space defense continued to explode and crack under the assault of the three Sword Qi. At an unimaginable speed, the three Sword Qi continued to head for Di Yihun.

In the blink of an eye, the road block brought about by the space force instantly tore apart.

Chaotic Sword Qi accurately struck Di Yihun’s body.

However, the strength of the chaotic Sword Qi was crushed by the empty space force as Di Yihun retreated backward unstoppably.

“Too strong!” Su Mo’s face hardened. Such a strong blow was unable to defeat Di Yihun, only managing to make him retreat!

“You have passed!”

Just as Su Mo prepared to strike again, Di Yihun stared at him and announced.

Whew!

Su Mo sighed helplessly. Although he had won, he had not completed the test in a convincing manner.

Di Yihun had voluntarily lost because he thought that Su Mo’s strength was good enough.

In a real battle, the difficulty of him defeating Di Yihun would be too much.

This made Su Mo’s heart sink. If Mo Jue was able to beat the fourth-ranked Di Yihun, his strength would be stronger and hence, killing Mo Jue would be hard.

“Shangguan Hao, do you want to replace me in the future?” Di Yihun continued. He greatly admired Su Mo. In the previous battle, Di Yihun could have continued battling until one of them lost completely.

However, Su Mo’s strength surprised him, it was evidently stronger than his current strength and hence, Di Yihun had ended the fight.

“Replace you?” Su Mo asked in bewilderment, not understanding Di Yihun’s statement.
