The three-colored Sword Qi was like a tidal wave. After it destroyed the three Flaming Long Snakes, its power weakened slightly but it continued to surge toward Zhu Tong.
“Oh no!” When Zhu Tong saw it, he was shocked. His blow was powerful but it had been destroyed in an instant.
The strength that Shangguan Hao had displayed was more powerful than what he had displayed when he fought with Jin Lu.
As the area of the Square was too small, Zhu Tong could not find a place to duck away from the blow and he had no time to form his strokes.
He quickly moved back and brandished his longspear in a hurry to counter the Sword Qi that had come before him.
At the same time, fire broke out on his body and flames started to rise.
The flames covered his body and formed a strong defense to protect his body.
Boom!
The longspear hit the Sword Qi and there was an explosion. Immediately, the long spear bounced off.
The vast three-colored Sword Qi then came before Zhu Tong to attack him.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
There were loud explosions in the sky and the force burst out in flames all over the area.
Huh!
Zhu Tong, who was covered by the flames, made an exclamation and his body flew backward, straight out of the Square.
“You have been defeated!”
Su Mo said flatly as he stood at the Square. He had expected Zhu Tong to be seriously injured by the blow but he was surprised that Zhu Tong had remained unscathed!
There was silence in the Square as the people looked on in shock. It was still one blow! The powerful Zhu Tong was unable to take one blow from Shangguan Hao at the same rank sparring.
That was too amazing. Shangguan Hao’s combat strength was unfathomable!
At that moment, not only the First Prince, the Second Princess, the Third Prince, but even the other geniuses from the 12 forces looked grave.
Although Shangguan Hao’s cultivation level was not high, his combat strength was impressive.
Zhu Ying’s face was as black as charcoal. How is it possible that his brother is unable to take one blow from Shangguan Hao? Is Shangguan Hao that powerful?
Zhu Ying shouted within himself. He could not accept the fact.
Light flashed across the eyes of the Second Princess and a thought suddenly came to her mind.
“I have not been defeated!” Zhu Tong, who had been thrown out of the Square, shouted angrily as he flew back to the Square.
In fact, he had suffered a slight internal injury, but he could not accept the fact that he had been defeated in one blow.
He had promised Zhu Ying that he would teach Shangguan Hao a lesson, but instead of doing so, he had been taught a lesson by Shangguan Hao.
He refused to admit that he had been defeated and he wanted to continue fighting.
“Oh?” When Su Mo saw that Zhu Tong refused to accept defeat, his face turned cold. In that case, he would not show Zhu Tong any mercy.
“That’s enough!”
The Third Prince shouted. His face was stern and he said, “Zhu Tong, you have been defeated. Get off!”
The Third Prince did not allow Zhu Tong to continue. He knew that Zhu Tong was no match for Shangguan Hao and if he continued to fight, he would only bring shame to himself.
When Zhu Tong heard what the Third Prince had said, his expression changed. He wanted to continue fighting but he dared not defy the Third Prince’s command.
After keeping silent for a while, Zhu Tong snorted and retreated.
When Su Mo saw it, he sighed within himself. He had intended to teach Zhu Tong a lesson but there was no more opportunity for him to do so.
He then looked around to invite the other participants to challenge him.
At that moment, the Second Princess curled her lips into a smile and she sized Su Mo up. She then asked with a smile, “I have heard that there is a gifted genius in Shenwu Academy by the name of Su Mo. He has great combat strength and when he was at True Sage Territory, he defeated the geniuses from the various forces. I wonder if Brother Shangguan has heard of him.”
When Su Mo heard what the Second Princess had said, he was stunned. The Second Princess seemed to have found out who he was.
However, that was normal. He was well-known, after all.
Moreover, other than his look, there was no change to other aspects of him.
When the people heard what the Second Princess had said, they were puzzled. They had heard Su Mo’s name but they wondered why the Second Princess had mentioned him.
Very quickly, they were enlightened. Could Shangguan Hao be Su Mo?
Those who had found Shangguan Hao familiar were suddenly enlightened.
No wonder they found Shangguan Hao familiar. His Dark Force was different from the rest of the people. His three-colored Dark Force seemed to be the unique feature that the legendary gifted genius possessed.
The people were surprised. The legendary Su Mo was a rare gifted genius. He possessed four Fighting Souls and his combat strength was invincible.
Back then, when Su Mo left his name on the True Sage Stele and defeated the geniuses from the various forces, he was only at Rank 6 Martial Emperor Realm.
The geniuses from the various forces were basically at Rank 9 Martial Emperor Realm. Judging from that, one could tell that Su Mo’s combat strength had reached an amazing level!
However, the people had heard that Su Mo had been killed by Wu Lun, the Grand Priest from the Sorcerer Tribe. How could he possibly be still alive?
They were baffled.
Some of them had heard that Su Mo had resurrected but they did not expect to see him at the Imperial Ancestor Court.
The people did not know Su Mo and they had only heard about him a few times from the rumors.
Light flashed across the eyes of the First Prince and the Third Prince and they fixed their gaze on Su Mo.
They knew a little about Su Mo. After all, Gu Tianyi was one of the Holy Sons at Shenwu Academy thus they had to know the situation at the Academy.
“I am he, Second Princess!” Su Mo cupped his fist at the Second Princess and admitted that he was Su Mo.
He did not hide the fact from the Second Princess as there was no way to hide it from her and there was no necessity to do so.
Many people knew that he was at the Imperial Ancestor Court, including the men from the Sorcerer Tribe.
“So, you are the one!” The Second Princess was shocked when she heard it. A joyful look then flashed across her face. In actual fact she was not sure, as she had never met Su Mo before. She had only heard about Su Mo from the rumors.
She had never expected Shangguan Hao, who had such an extraordinary combat strength, to be the renowned Su Mo.
When the people heard what Shangguan Hao had said, they were shocked. No wonder! No wonder Shangguan Hao has such an amazing combat strength. He is Su Mo, the gifted genius!
However, Su Mo’s cultivation level has risen too quickly! He has reached Rank 3 Martial Honored Realm within such a short period of time.
The faces of the First Prince and Third Prince darkened. They had long heard of Su Mo and that caused them to frown.
Although Su Mo’s current strength was nothing to the two of them, he had great potential.
Since Su Mo was currently under Gu Tianyi’s wing and he was a gifted genius, he posed a great threat to them in the future.
Taishi Yuan and Taishi Xiang Yue looked grave as they were well aware of Su Mo’s identity.
However, they found it tough to handle him. Su Mo’s combat strength was too mighty. They did not have the confidence of defeating him at the same rank sparring.
Given their cultivation level, even if their cultivation level had been suppressed at Rank 1 Martial Honored Realm, they would still have an edge over the rest of the people. However, they would not have an edge over Su Mo.
