Warrior’s Promise - Chapter 17

Chapter 17


The bandit leader was incredibly shocked by Su Mo's abilities .
He was fully aware of his own strength, and common Lv 5 Qi Cultivation Realm martial artists were no match for him .
How could he not be shocked that he was forced back by a Lv 3 martial artist?
"Ahhh!"
While the bandit leader was lost in confusion, two more screams tore through the air .
Su Mo's sword was as fast as lightning and as nimble as wind, so his sword Qi was unstoppable .
Three more bandits were instantly killed .
This small group of bandits used to have 20 men . However, Su Mo killed nine men before, and he just killed three more, so now there were only eight left .  
"Die!" Su Mo yelled, his body as swift as a flash . With a glint of his sword, two more bandits were slashed in the waist and collapsed to the ground, spilling their guts everywhere .
"Hurry! Surround and kill him! Hurry!" screamed the bandit leader .
He raised his giant war saber and charged toward Su Mo .
This time, Su Mo did not directly block his attack . He used his swiftness to weave between the men, and with every flash of his sword, he struck down a bandit .  
"Screw you!" roared the bandit leader angrily . No matter how hard he swung his war saber, he had never touched a hair on Su Mo's body .
After Su Mo practiced the Lower Lv 3 body move, Shadow Steps, his dexterity had been greatly increased . Although he had only begun to cultivate Shadow Steps, his movement was way beyond the bandit leader's capabilities .
Besides their leader, the other bandits were all at Lv 3 or Lv 4 Qi Cultivation Realm, so very few stood a chance against Su Mo's sword .
Even if they blocked one strike, they could not block another .
With Sword Qi spreading everywhere and sword radiance shining, Su Mo killed one man with every step he took .
Soon, the bandit leader had become a commander without soldiers .
Even the men who tried to run were killed by a single strike before they could get away .
"You've killed so many men of my Bloody Blade Stockade! I won't let you get away with it!"
The bandit leader issued this threat but turned around to run away . He could tell that he was at a disadvantage .
There was no way that he could kill his opponent!
"You're going nowhere!"
Su Mo blocked the bandit leader's path .
"Don't push me! Even though I can't kill you, you also can't kill me!" The bandit leader yelled .  
"Really? I've told you that you will all die today!"
Su Mo sneered condescendingly, which immediately enraged the bandit leader .
"You must be looking for death! I'll show you just how powerful I am . "
The bandit leader roared, and his Martial Soul rose up behind him, bathed in yellow light .
His Martial Soul was a three-meter-tall Fierce Bear .
After activating his Martial Soul, the bandit leader's abilities at least multiplied . He drew out his shining war saber and swung it forcefully towards Su Mo .

Su Mo did not dodge it and stood silently in place .
The bandit leader was overjoyed to see this, and he channeled all his force into his swing to incapacitate Su Mo with one strike .
Su Mo smiled coldly . When the bandit leader's war saber was about to come down, he sheathed his sword .


This action instantly shocked the bandit leader .
"Is this boy dumb?"
However, he was even more excited . Now that his enemy had sheathed his weapon, this was his chance to kill him .
Just as the bandit leader's war saber was about to reach Su Mo, a shining long sword appeared in Su Mo's hand with a flash .
This was the Spirit-slayer Sword, a Medium Lv 4 weapon .
Su Mo grasped the Spirit-slayer Sword and swung it up to meet the war saber .
Clang! Splash!
When the weapons met, the bandit leader's war saber was shattered . The Spirit-slayer Sword did not lose any momentum and cut through the bandit leader's neck like lightning, causing his head to fly up and spew blood everywhere .
Huff!

Su Mo let out a sigh after killing all of the bandits .
"Spirit-slayer Sword, you didn't let me down!"
Su Mo looked at the longsword in his hands and smiled . His Medium Lv 4 weapon was really exceptional .
Weapons of different levels and grades varied greatly in quality, not to mention that the bandit leader's weapon was a common Lv 1 .
Since the two weapons were not even at the same level, it was not surprising that his sword could slice through the war saber .
When faced with these degenerates, Su Mo was not stupid enough to fight fairly .
After killing all the bandits, Su Mo looked towards the kidnapped women, who were all shell-shocked and unresponsive .
"Alright, all of the bandits have been killed! You're all free!"
Su Mo said, waking the women .


"Thank you, kind sir!"
All the women kneeled on the ground and bowed their heads to Su Mo in thanks .
"You can all get up! It isn't safe here . Go back to your village first!"
Su Mo waved his hand and asked them to stand . Although their village had been destroyed, he could only ask them to go back .
Luckily, most of the bandits had war horses that the women could ride back to the village .
"Sir, I'll never forget your kind deed today . Could you tell me your name? I'll bear it in mind forever . "
A young girl in green quietly said as she nervously walked up to Su Mo .
She was the girl whom the scar-faced bandit had lusted after, and the one who was being taken as a gift to chief brigands .
Her skin was as white as snow, her beauty unparalleled, and her eyes as clear as a spring . Although she was wearing rags, she exuded an undeniable elegance .
The girl had the appearance of a fallen angel, making her desirable but incorruptable .
Su Mo had only just realized this outstanding beauty among the women .
"How could such a small village produce such a gem?"
Judging purely by appearance, this girl surpassed even Luo Huan, the leader of Purple Gold Pavilion . However, she seemed shyer than the charismatic Luo Huan .
"My name is Su Mo! Go back first, and I'll come later and help you bury your relatives . "
Su Mo smiled and led a war horse over to her .
"Yes, sir . " The girl lightly nodded .
After everyone had left, Su Mo stared at the pile of corpses with excitement glinting in his eyes .
"With all these blood essence, breaking through my cultivation shouldn't be a problem!"


Su Mo immediately walked over, sat down cross-legged, and released his Devouring Martial Spirit .
The longer he waited, the more essence these bodies would lose . Moreover, their Martial Souls would disappear after a while, which would be a great loss!
Su Mo used all his force to activate his Devouring Martial Spirit, which quickly sucked in all the bandits' Martial Souls and Blood Qi .
Most of these bandits' Martial Souls were Rank 2 or 3 Human Class, so Su Mo's Martial Soul was not affected after devouring them .
However, the great amount of Blood Qi became a surge of pure energy after it was devoured and absorbed into Su Mo's body .
Su Mo suddenly experienced a spike in genuine Qi!
Boom!
In the blink of an eye, Su Mo's cultivation broke through the bottleneck of Lv 3 and entered into Lv 4 Qi Cultivation Realm .
The Blood Qi was so strong that Su Mo's cultivation continued to rise after reaching Level Four .
Early Lv 4 Qi Cultivation Realm!
Middle Lv 4 Qi Cultivation Realm!
Late Lv 4 Qi Cultivation Realm!
Peak Lv 4 Qi Cultivation Realm!
Finally, after Su Mo finished devouring everyone's Blood Qi, his cultivation stopped at Peak Lv 4 Qi Cultivation Realm, which was only a step away from Lv 5 .
He was not disappointed and was instead satisfied that he had increased his cultivation by one level .
"If I keep killing and taking other people's Blood Qi and Martial Souls like this, won't my cultivation skyrocket?" Su Mo thought excitedly .  
However, he shook his head . "If I continue this, even though my strength will improve quickly, I will also lose my humanity and become a bloodthirsty monster . "
Su Mo had always been a moral person who had no sympathy for enemies and villains, but slaughtering the innocent was no different from those bandits .  
Then, he took a deep breath, stood up, took all of the mummies' belongings and left .
