Su Mo remained calm in the face of Zhu Tong’s three fire snakes as he sliced down viciously with his stone sword to allow 3 streaks of Sword Qi to appear.
Shoosh! Shoosh! Shoosh!
Three sharp Sword Qi that were filled with Sword Force flashed through the sky and shot out in an instant towards the 3 fire snakes.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Three explosions sounded as the 3 fire snakes crumbled apart to become a sky full of sparks.
However, the 3 fire snakes were strong and the three streaks of Sword Qi also crumbled apart in the collision.
With this strike, the two appeared to be evenly matched and Su Mo did not appear to be weaker than Zhu Tong.
What made everyone surprised was that Su Mo’s powers were as the rumors said. He really was a godly talent.
The blows exchanged between the two clearly showed everyone that he had the strength of a Rank 9 Martial Honorable.
Although everyone had expected this scenario, they were all in wonder over personally seeing how Su Mo could surpass a 3 cultivation rank difference.
He really was one of a kind!
A mere 1 rank difference between one contestant and another presented heavy challenges for the weaker one. However, Su Mo could overcome a 3 rank difference to fight. He was different from everyone else.
“This is the Five Elements Property!” The king looked at Su Mo’s skill and softly muttered to himself.
He could see at a glance that Su Mo’s Dark Force was constructed using the 5 elements. Furthermore, among the 5 elements, 4 of them were merged into pairs.
Su Mo’s Dark Force was not only strong due to the 5 elements, it was also incredibly thick and solid.
The First Prince was calm but his eyes glowed brightly with cold light. Su Mo was the Eighth Prince’s man while Zhu Tong was the Third Prince’s. Both of them were his competitors.
Yet, compared to Su Mo, the First Prince wanted Zhu Tong to win the fight.
There were 2 reasons to do this. Firstly, Su Mo was too arrogant. Secondly, Su Mo was a godly talent and in the future, when his cultivation rank was higher, he would definitely be a threat to the First Prince.
The Second Princess and the Third Prince stared at the battle. Su Mo’s strength did surprise them. However, it was still unknown who would win.
Gu Tianyi softly heaved a sigh of relief as Su Mo had the chance to be selected. Thereafter, he glanced at Ren Tianya, who had just been beaten.
As though he could feel Gu Tianyi’s eyes on him, Ren Tianya turned to look at Gu Tianyi and they exchanged a silent conversation with their eyes.
Finally, Ren Tianya nodded and turned back to continue watching the battle.
On the Dragon Pillar, Zhu Tong struck out 2 times continuously. However, these two strikes did not seem to have borrowed the strength of the wind to burn fiercely.
This was something unacceptable to him. In the same rank cultivation fight previously, he had lost to Su Mo. However, he was now 3 ranks higher than Su Mo and if he lost here, he would be utterly humiliated.
Shoosh!
With a stomp downwards, Zhu Tong’s body shot into the air and he instantly appeared a kilometer above the platform.
Shoosh shoosh shoosh!!
The longspear in Zhu Tong’s hand pierced out continuously. It was so quick it appeared to be an illusion.
Fire blazed through the air and the blazing-hot energy rolled out and filled the air within a few kilometers.
Swoosh swoosh swoosh!
In an instant, fire snakes danced through the air and filled the sky as they pounced towards Su Mo.
There was a large number of these fire snakes – no less than a hundred.
What was most terrifying was that each fire snake was stronger than the previous one and each individual one was a few hundred meters long .
The fire snake did not only appear to be a real snake but it was filed with the aura of a devil.
As their roars shook the sky, the few hundred fire snakes shot through the air and attacked Su Mo from all directions.
Everyone was taken aback, Zhu Tong had begun to use his best move here and whether or not Su Mo could defend himself against it was hard to tell.
Many silently started to sweat for Su Mo. They were about to see how exceptional this once-in-a-millennia godly talent would be.
A bright flash of light appeared in Ren Tianya’s eyes. He had been defeated because of this one strike.
Yet, on the other hand, Su Mo was not afraid of this sky full of fire snakes as his eyes beamed brightly with brilliance.
“Destroy!”
Su Mo lightly shouted as his body glowed with a greyish-white light and he activated his special body constitution.
At the same time, he lifted the stone sword in his hand up high and a vast Sword Force swept the sky.
Swoosh swoosh swoosh!!
Su Mo swung his stone sword continuously and Sword Radiance blinded the sky. The Sword Radiance formed an impenetrable curtain of defense in front of him.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Explosions continued unstoppably as the mass of fire snakes collided against the curtain of Sword Radiance and instantly crumbled apart.
The Sword Radiance was sharp and bright and it held incredible attacking force. The onslaught of fire snakes was unable to break through the sword curtain.
Su Mo did not retreat backward at all and he appeared relaxed as though he had everything under control, even under the face of the fire snakes.
In a breath, the few hundred fire snakes were completely destroyed and they turned into innumerable blazes that transformed the Dragon Pillar platform into a sea of fire.
“How could this be?” Zhu Tong’s face turned dark instantly. He had not expected that Su Mo would be unfazed by such a huge attack.
How could Su Mo be so strong? That did not obey the logic of cultivation rank.
Despite the rumors of Su Mo’s strength spreading through the entire world, and even if Su Mo had already shown all his strength, Zhu Tong was in disbelief by what was happening.
Everyone was completely surprised as the exchange between the two this time clearly showed that Su Mo was the stronger one among the two.
That was because Zhu Tong had virtually used his best moves but Su Mo had remained unfazed and calm. It seemed as though Su Mo still had hidden cards he had not used.
“A godly talent indeed!” The king nodded his head. His deep, mysterious eyes stared at Su Mo as though they could see Su Mo’s true powers.
As he stared at the light shining off from Su Mo’s body, the king fell silent. What kind of a special body constitution was that?
However, he wasn’t too concerned over Su Mo’s special body constitution. After all, they were so many special body constitutions and new types would occasionally appear.
The king had never seen Su Mo’s special body constitution before and he wasn’t able to discern what it was.
However, no matter what, Su Mo was the most talented individual in the Imperial Ancestor Court Faction. That was an indisputable fact.
“Zhu Tong, that is all you are!”
On the Dragon Pillar platform, Su Mo stared at Zhu Tong and a cold smile played on his eyes.
Although Zhu Tong had a high cultivation rank, his power wasn’t too impressive. Among martial artists in the Rank 9 Martial Honorable Realm, Zhu Tong could be considered to be a strong individual. However, he was far too weak compared to a genius.
“Your strength doesn’t seem to be that much higher than mine anyway!” Zhu Tong glowered with a dark face. It seemed that he had to use his Fighting Soul and his hidden card later.
Otherwise, he would lose to Su Mo.
“I will give you 3 blows and then it will be my turn!”
Su Mo raised the stone sword in his hand and a dazzling, three-colored Sword Qi shot to the sky. Sword Radiance spurted out of the stone sword and instantly stretched over a few thousand feet.
“You are giving me 3 blows?”
Zhu Tong scoffed and sneered, “What a joke, I attack and you defend. What’s the point of saying that to me?”
The crowd was also stunned. Su Mo’s words were really arrogant!
However, for such a godly talent, he did have the right to be arrogant.
“I hope you have the strength to take my 3 blows!” Su Mo lightly said. With that, he heavily struck down with his stone sword.
