Warrior's Promise

Chapter 1021: Zhan Luan is Injured

Translator: Transn Editor: Transn

The Natal Spiritual Sword was very fast and Zhan Luan found it hard to dodge as they appeared before him in a fan shape that almost surrounded him.

Zhan Luan would find it hard to avoid the attack of the nine Spiritual Swords unless he retreated.

However, Zhan Luan was not someone who would simply retreat!

Zhan Luan noticed the situation he was in and immediately triggered all the Dark Force he possessed, instantly forming a thick Body-protection Dark Force. Then, he struck with the huge axe in his hand, viciously attacking the Spiritual Sword heading for him.

Clash! Clash! Clash!

There was a succession of explosions. Four of the Natal Spiritual Sword were batted into the air by Zhan Luan.

The other five Natal Spiritual Sword had managed to pierce through the Body-protection Dark Force on Zhan Luan and hit his body.

Thunk! Thunk! Thunk!

The Natal Spiritual Swords had not managed to pierce Zhan Luan’s body. When the Spiritual Swords hit Zhan Luan’s body, sounds of metal colliding could be heard and sparks flew.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The five Spiritual Swords had not managed to break through Zhan Luan’s defense and was tossed into the air.

“Such powerful defenses.” Su Mo was very much surprised when he saw this, and his expression changed drastically.

The Natal Spiritual Sword had not managed to break through the defense on Zhan Luan’s body!

Zhan Luan’s physical strength was that powerful!

“Ha, ha, ha!”

The sound of Zhan Luan laughing loudly resounded through the sky like rolling thunder that echoed through several thousand miles.

“Su Mo, is this all you’re capable of?”

Zhan Luan looked at him sarcastically and said contemptuously, “Your Spiritual Sword cannot even break through my defense. How can you defeat me?”

Zhan Luan’s arrogance surged. He felt very confident in his physical defense, which was why he dared to fight Su Mo’s Spiritual Sword straight on.

Sure enough, Su Mo’s Spiritual Sword could not break his defense.

It was deadly silent around the Jade Cloud Lake. Zhan Luan’s invincible defense had surprised everyone spectating the battle.

Even Yan Tai, Hua Taishan, Dugu Yan and the other powerful experts of the older generation were shocked.

Zhan Luan was undoubtedly the first on the List of 10,000 Talents. His physical defense was unbeatable in the younger generation of the Firmament World.

How could anyone defeat him if his defense could not be broken?

The crowd could not help but lament that Zhan Luan was fated to be the most dazzling genius of his generation.

While Su Mo was extraordinarily talented, it was hard for him to dislodge Zhan Luan from his place.

“Oh no!”

Xi’er, Sikong Yan, Wenren Tiandu, Long Teng and a few other friends of Su Mo all paled when they saw what had happened. How was he going to defeat Zhan Luan if he could not even tear open his defense?

Su Mo’s strength had been an eye-opener, but Zhan Luan’s power had also exceeded everyone’s expectations.

Up in the air, Su Mo’s expression was extremely grave. However, he did not lose heart.

While the attack power of his Natal Spiritual Sword was strong, it was far less powerful than the Billion Demonic Sword.

Furthermore, he had not used the sword formation earlier and had only used an ordinary attack.

He had only managed to make the Natal Spiritual Sword a few months ago. It had not had much time to grow. At present, the damage that it could inflict was that of ordinary weapons in the Lower Royal realm.

Meanwhile, the Billion Demonic Sword had absorbed the blood of countless martial artists from the Cold-blood Hall. Its current power was more than one level stronger than the Natal Spiritual Sword.

Of course, this was not to say that the Natal Spiritual Sword was useless. With the passage of time, the Natal Spiritual Sword could be nurtured and its power would eventually exceed that of the Billion Demonic Sword.

The Natal Spiritual Sword was usually stored in Su Mo’s consciousness ocean. He can feel the sword’s power slowly growing with the passage of time.

Su Mo was certain that the Natal Spiritual Sword would be comparable to an Imperial Divine Weapon in ten years.

“There’s a limit to your defense no matter how strong it is!”

Su Mo’s expression was frosty. With a single thought, the nine Natal Spiritual Swords converged into one. Its glow expanded and it plunged towards Zhan Luan’s ribs with a stunning killing desire.

At the same time, Su Mo moved like a flash of lightning as he took a step and flew into the air. The Billion Demonic Sword cut down at Zhan Luan’s head.

Su Mo did not have any reservations as he plunged down, using all his cultivation strength and his physical strength. He even used the Immortality Ultimacy.

While the Immortality Ultimacy did not increase his combat strength by much, there were times when it achieved unexpected results.

The bright sword radiance divided heaven and earth. There seemed to be a blood-colored howling figure within the sword radiance, covering the earth with Demonic Qi which rushed up into the skies.

The blood-colored figure was the image of the Demonic Spirit. The Demonic Spirit had put in its all as well.

“Power of Ultimacy!”

Zhan Luan’s eyes narrowed slightly. He could feel the strong Power of Ultimacy in Su Mo’s attack.

Then, he sneered. Su Mo was not the only one to possess the power of Ultimacy.

“Clang!”

Zhan Luan ignored the Spiritual Sword’s attack. He yelled and waved the huge axe in his hands, cutting through the air and splitting the approaching sword radiance.

This axe was stronger. Not only was it more powerful, but it was also filled with a destructive aura that fluctuated wildly.

This was the strength of the Destruction Ultimacy!

The Destruction Ultimacy boosted one’s combat strength significantly.

In a matter of seconds, the Demonic Sword and the huge axe collided once more, shaking heaven and earth.

Crash!

The space within a hundred-mile radius collapsed rapidly, and the Jade Cloud Lake disappeared instantly, leaving only a huge crater.

The two figures separated rapidly, and Zhan Luan retreated for the first time.

However, Zhan Luan was still slightly stronger than Su Mo. He only retreated slightly for a hundred miles while Su Mo retreated more than that.

Zhan Luan’s expression darkened. He looked down at his waist where there was a bleeding wound the size of a finger.

The Spiritual Sword had managed to break through his physical defense!

Even though he had only suffered a small cut, his defense had still been penetrated.

“So much for all that!” Su Mo smiled. He had found out more about Zhan Luan’s strength after their exchange of blows.

There was a limit to Zhan Luan’s defense!

Zhan Luan was not indomitable.

It was very likely that he would be able to defeat Zhan Luan.

The spectators had naturally seen that Zhan Luan had been injured. They stared at him with wide eyes.

The invincible Zhan Luan had been injured!

The battle might end unexpectedly!

The expressions of those from the major powers were varied. Those from the Warlord Hall did not look good.

While this was an insignificant injury, this was the first time Zhan Luan had been injured in a battle with someone from his generation since he started cultivating in martial arts.

Xi’er, Sikong Yan, Wenren Tiandu and the others heaved a sigh of relief.

Zhan Luan’s injury meant that his defense was not impenetrable. There was still hope that Su Mo might defeat him.

There wasn’t any hope at all if Su Mo could not break through Zhan Luan’s defense.

Yan Tai remained stoic while his killing desire grew even stronger. Su Mo was too powerful. He had to die! The sooner he died, the better!

He was only in Lv 6 of the Martial King Realm right now. Wouldn’t he be able to kill Zhan Luan with the wave of his hand when he reached the Martial Royal Realm?

How terrifying!

Yan Tai thought to himself, frightened. It would be a calamity for the Netherworld Devil Sect if Su Mo were to enter the Martial Royal Realm in the future.
