Warrior's Promise

Yang Tiancheng narrowed his eyes upon hearing Su Mo’s words. As he turned his head towards Su Mo, he coldly said, “do you think that you are unrivalled among the Martial Emperors just because you defeated You Lang?”

“It is not that I assume myself to be unrivalled, I really am!” Su Mo uttered in a serious tone.

“Mad!” Yang Tiancheng immediately shouted out. This Su Mo was way too presumptuous. He had actually said out loud to everyone that he was unrivalled!

The crowd who heard this was also surprised. This Su Mo really was confident. He had yelled in front of everyone, claiming he was unrivalled!

However, although the crowd was surprised, they did not think that Su Mo was too arrogant. After all, if Su Mo had the strength to defeat You Lang, it was reasonable that he thought he was unrivalled.

If he didn’t have the strength, he would have been too arrogant. But since he had the strength, he was simply a confident man.

However, Su Mo’s words caused the other geniuses of the other superpowers to frown.

The, Yang Tiancheng did not waste any more words and he immediately sat down cross-legged on the floor. With a wave of his hand, a wooden zither appeared in front of him.

The wooden zither was painted a purple colour and looked very ancient. In addition to the golden chords on it, it gave off a grand feel.

“I want to see how you will stop me from playing my song. How can you be considered unrivalled among the Martial Emperors?” Yang Tiancheng’s hands were lightly resting on the zither as he spoke casually.

“Then open your eyes wide and see!” Su Mo coldly scoffed as he went through his mind for ideas to humiliate this guy.

Yang Tiancheng’s face appeared serious and he obviously did not dare to underestimate Su Mo. A few moments later, he struck.

Ding!

A mesmerizing melody played the moment Yang Tiancheng’s finger touched the zither. The melody was as sharp as a sword and yet, at the same time, it boomed as loud as thunder. It was full of a murderous aura and a dark energy.

Shoosh!

Then, the zither sound changed into a soundwave. Instantly, it turned into a one-hundred foot long invisible sword that shot out in the direction of Su Mo.

The forces carried in this long sword were terrifying. Like a holy sword that descended from the nine heavens, it was full of a dense, thick aura.

Piercing through the sky with its murderous aura, the long sword quickly closed down on Su Mo.

“Not bad!” Su Mo coldly laughed as he withdrew a sword. Sword Radiance flashed as Su Mo’s sword instantly smashed the incoming sword-shaped sound wave apart.

Perhaps the soundwave sword was very strong. However, it was easily destroyed in a single wave by Su Mo.

However, at that moment, Yang Tiancheng was still humming to himself as his fingers danced across the zither. Melodic but murderous notes continued to fly off the zither to form a mesmerizing tune.

This definitely was a song that lured its listeners into being completely absorbed by the heat of it.

However, behind the harmonious tune there was a boundless amount of murderous aura. The notes transformed into soundwaves and then morphed into numerous longswords and sharp spears.

The vast amount of longswords and sharp spears covered the sky and rushed towards Su Mo.

The rain of swords was terrifying and the encompassing murderous aura spread out in eight directions, instantly surrounding Su Mo.

“Destroy!”

Su Mo lightly yelled as he rushed forward to meet the attack. Like a bolt of lightning, Sword Radiance gushed out from Su Mo’s hands to destroy the wave of attacks by Yang Tiancheng.

The massive soundwaves transformed into longswords and sharp spears that continuously attacked Su Mo. Su Mo was like an invincible shadow that neared Yang Tiancheng in the blink of an eye.

“What?” Yang Tiancheng’s face took a drastic turn. He only felt Su Mo’s real strength when he actually faced Su Mo head on. No matter what he attacked with, Su Mo managed to easily dispel his attacks.

Shoosh!

Without hesitating, Yang Tiancheng stood up and retreated backwards quickly. At the same time, his fingers strongly plucked the strings on the zither and the chords vibrated violently.

Shoosh!

As the chords on the zither vibrated, gold, sharp swords were like tiny dust specks that shot out in flashes before they suddenly disappeared.

“Mm!” Su Mo narrowed his eyes and slowed down as he used his willpower to feel where the notes were.

Shoosh!

In the next instant, the chords suddenly appeared and thrust towards Su Mo’s chest. Their speed was so fast that one could hardly feel them coming.

However, Su Mo’s willpower was incredibly strong. Even if it hadn’t completely recovered yet, it was still a few times stronger than any Martial Emperor.

The moment the chords appeared, Su Mo also took action.

Shoosh!

Sword Radiance flashed brilliantly as Su Mo cut each chord in half, causing them to fall helplessly to the ground.

Ding ding ding!!!

At that moment, Yang Tiancheng’s fingers rapidly played across the zither again as numerous gold-colored chords shot out and immediately disappeared again.

“Poor skills!” Su Mo smirked. Without wanting to waste any more time, he flashed and disappeared in an instant.

“This is…!” Yang Tiancheng saw this and was immediately shocked. Where was Su Mo?

However, his heart jumped in the next instant as he guessed that Su Mo must have used some form of invisible technique to hide himself.

Yang Tiancheng’s face immediately hardened as he used his sensory skills to carefully check through his surroundings and find out where Su Mo was.

Numerous onlookers were also at a loss as they suspected that Su Mo had used some mysterious technique again. Only the experts in the Martial Honoured Realm and above realised where Su Mo was.

Yang Tiancheng lowered himself into the fighting ring. He was on high alert as he continuously checked through his surroundings. However, no matter how hard he tried, he could not find a trace of Su Mo.

“How could this be?” Yang Tiancheng’s face turned ugly as he thought to himself. Su Mo had hidden himself but he must be somewhere in the fighting ring. If he used a large soundwave attack, Su Mo would reveal himself.

Just as Yang Tiancheng prepared to use a large soundwave attack, Su Mo appeared behind him and a purple haze gushed out to surround him.

The light purple haze was thick and it instantly filled the area around Su Mo. Yang Tiancheng was also helplessly captured by it.

Then, Yang Tiancheng’s face suddenly turned pale as he stood rooted to the spot in the fighting ring.

In the Dream Realm space.

In a dark room, Yang Tiancheng’s body was locked onto a large wooden board by metal locks.

“What is this place?” Yang Tiancheng immediately wondered aloud in shock as he suddenly found himself in a foreign space. Carefully looking at his surroundings, his gaze stopped at Su Mo standing before him.

“Yang Tiancheng, welcome to the Dream Realm Space. You will experience an unforgettable journey in here!” Su Mo smiled. In actual fact, Su Mo could have defeated Yang Tiancheng in a single strike in the real world. However, he didn’t strike out because he wanted to pull Yang Tiancheng into the Dream Realm Space.

“What are you going to do?” Yang Tiancheng glared at Su Mo’s devious smile and felt his heart shrivel in fear. He knew Su Mo did not have good intentions for him.

At the same time, he secretly checked his surroundings and tried to think of a way to escape the place he was trapped in.

He realised that this virtual space seemed to have been made entirely of willpower. If he wanted to leave this place, he had to rely on his willpower to break out of here.

“What am I going to do?”

Su Mo scoffed upon hearing Yang Tiancheng’s words. Then, Su Mo lightly said, “you are very talented, and I wonder if you still have the heart to write some love poems here.”

“What has that got to do with you?” Yang Tiancheng coldly scoffed. He had written a love poem to the Holy Lady to confess his love. What had that got to do with Su Mo? Unless… did Su Mo also fancy the Holy Lady?
