Warrior’s Promise Chapter 452

Chapter 452 - A Fight to the Death

Translator: Transn  Editor: Transn

The rage in Zheng Renjie’s heart burned steadily brighter.

He was an ardent admirer of Hong Qingxuan, and had been relentless in his pursuit of her, but she had always treated him coldly, turning a blind eye to his pursuits.

Now that he could see she clearly cared for this guy, how could he remain calm?

If Su Mo was highly talented with a strong cultivation, he would be able to understand. After all, which woman would not fall for strong men?

Yet, Su Mo was obviously not at his level. He was not sure of Su Mo’s talent, but a Lv 1 Enlightenment Realm gnat was not even fit to tie his shoelaces.

His talent alone would place him amongst the top in Holy Sky Peak, and now that he had attained Lv 4 Enlightment Realm, his combat strength was incredibly strong. No matter how he looked at it, he was tens, even hundreds of times better than Su Mo.

He could not comprehend why Hong Qingxuan did not reciprocate his feelings, but displayed so much concern for this gnat!

In that instant, his heart was full of killing desire.

“Zheng Renjie, you’re courting death!”

A sudden growl sounded, echoing across the surroundings.

Swoosh!

Like an arrow released from its bow, Tian Chen flew over and landed in front of Su Mo.

“Zheng Renjie, would you dare bully the people of Towering Sky Peak?” Tian Chen asked, glaring coldly at Zheng Renjie.

“Towering Sky Peak?”

Zheng Renjie’s brows furrowed at Tian Chen’s words as he reigned in the killing desire in his heart. He had not expected Su Mo to be from Towering Sky Peak!

Towering Sky Peak was not one to be trifled with since every single one of them was just as crazy. They would not rest until they had gotten rid of whoever had provoked them.

Furthermore, the peak master of Towering Sky Peak was Huangfu Qing. Not only was he incredibly powerful, he was also very protective of his disciples, so no one dared to intimidate them with their power.

For example, Tian Chen had killed three disciples in a row at Holy Sky Peak and still emerged unscathed!

Or the incident 6 months ago, when Towering Sky Peak’s first disciple Lin Langxuan flew into a rage at Great Heaven Peak, killing eight of their inner elders. He was completely out of control.

Although Zheng Renjie was wary of provoking Towering Sky Peak, he was not afraid for he had not raised the ire of any of the experts from Towering Sky Peak. As for Su Mo or Tian Cheng, he was not about to take them seriously.

“Kid, I’l let you off this time. You are not getting off so easily the next time I catch you hovering around Qingxuan!” after giving it some thought, Zheng Renjie ultimately decided to let Su Mo off the hook. After all, if he was to kill Su Mo, then he would truly be raising the ire of Towering Sky Peak.

“Zheng Renjie, you….!”

Hong Qingxuan’s face was flushed with anger. She had no relationship with the other party, yet with his actions and words, he was trying to meddle in her relationships.

The confrontation between Su Mo and Zheng Renjie had caught the attention of others in the valley, and they were all chattering in hushed voices.

“Zheng Renjie is so overbearing!”

“True, but based on his talent and his cultivation, he has the right to act like this!”

“I’m afraid that those two from Towering Sky Peak are going to suffer some embarrassment today!”

Many people’s eyes glinted with glee at the thought. Every single disciple of Towering Sky Peak may be incredibly gifted, but the gap between Zheng Renjie’s cultivation and those two was just too wide!

Su Mo’s eyes hardened as he stared intently at Zheng Renjie. After a while, he said coldly, “You may be letting me off, but I do not wish to let you off!”

“What?” Zheng Renjie was taken aback, but that was quickly replaced by a scornful glint in his eyes. Was this kid serious? Did he just say he would not let me off?

Those watching from a distance were all just as stunned. Was this dude going to go up against Zheng Renjie?

“I propose we have a fight to the death in 10 days. Do you dare accept the challenge?” Su Mo said after a moment of silence.

His words sent a shockwave through the crowd and immediately caused an uproar.

“What? Did I get this right? Is this fella seriously challenging Zheng Renjie to a fight to the death?”

“Is he trying to court death? He is three levels lower than Zheng Renjie! How could he even think he’d be Zheng Renjie’s match?”

“Exactly! No matter how talented this Towering Sky Peak fella may be, he could never be Zheng Renjie’s match. Zheng Renjie is also a talent in his own right, even an average Lv 5 Enlightment Realm martial artist wouldn’t even be his match!”

“Ha ha! This fight will be interesting! Aren’t the people of Towering Sky Peak all savages? Let us watch how this kid meets his demise!”

The crowd was abuzz with excitement. Many did not understand where Su Mo’s confidence came from, to be proposing a fight to the death with Zheng Renjie, but more were looking forward to the match with a feeling of schadenfreude.

“Brother Su Mo, please don’t be rash!” Hong Qingxuan said desperately. Although she was pleasantly surprised that Su Mo had reached the Enlightment Realm, she was well aware that Zheng Renjie’s combat strength was enough to kill an average Lv 5 Enlightment Realm martial artist. Su Mo may be incredibly talented, but the gulf in cultivation was just too wide!

“Qingxuan, don’t you worry too much about it. I know my own limits!” Su Mo replied.

Tian Chen was also surprised by Su Mo’s words. Although it was said that men love a good fight, but engaging in a fight when the chance of winning is close to zero was just not wise!

‘Could Eleventh Junior Brother have a hidden card up his sleeve?’ Tian Chen thought to himself.

Zheng Renjie’s eyes flashed coldly at Su Mo’s words, and he said mockingly, “You’re just like an ant trying to move a tree, laughable and going beyond your depth! Someone like you actually thinks that you have the right to challenge me to a fight to the death?”

Contempt was written all over his face, and he clearly did not take Su Mo’s words seriously.

“I will look for you after ten days!” Su Mo replied calmly, and then turned toward the huge sword statute once again. He sat down cross-legged and continued to fathom sword will.

“I’ll be waiting!”

Zheng Renjie scoffed. He turned to Hong Qingxuan, saying, “Qingxuan, you will see for yourself who is the better one between us!”

His mood ruined, he turned and left.

Looking at Su Mo, Hong Qingxuan couldn’t help but feel responsible for what just happened. If it weren’t for her, he would not have been embroiled in this situation!

Su Mo did not pay attention to anyone, he continued to discern sword will while refining his cultivation. His understanding of sword will rapidly improved as he completely immersed himself in discerning it.

He always had strong comprehension abilities, or he would not have been able to grasp sword will on his own accord when he was at Spiritual Martial Realm. After taking the Spirit-maintainng Pill, it had only served to increase his comprehension ability. In this place, his discernment of sword will moved at the speed of light, and increased rapidly.

Time ticked along, and Su Mo had already been sitting in front of the statue for nine days.

In nine days, Su Mo had moved from only being able to stand at a 2.6 kilometer distance from the great sword statue, to sitting cross-legged within 1.3 kilometers of the statue.

Su Mo’s sword will had progressed from Grand Completion of the 1st stage to Grand Completion of the 2nd stage, leaping from one stage to another.

Hong Qingxuan had since left, full of guilt.

Tian Chen did not leave, and he was shocked by the speed of which Su Mo’s sword will had increased. He often came to Martial Will Valley to discern saber will, and his saber will was now only at Late 2nd stage. Su Mo had managed to surpass him in just nine days, which shook Tian Chen to his core.

At this moment, there were more people at Martial Will Valley than there were nine days ago. News that the new disciple of Towering Sky Peak, Su Mo, had challenged Holy Sky Peak’s talent Zheng Renije to a fight to the death had already spread across the main nine peaks.

Many people headed to the Martial Will Valley for a glimpse of this new disciple that dared to take on Zheng Renjie, but shook their heads at the sight. How could someone at Lv 1 Enlightment Realm be a match for Zheng Renjie?

Just then, Su Mo slowly opened his eyes, then he stood up and left Martial Will Valley.

When he saw Su Mo leaving, Tian Chen also stood up to follow him.

The crowd was surprised to see Su Mo leaving. Nine days had passed, was Su Mo leaving to prepare for tomorrow’s fight?

Many people were secretly excited at the thought. Although they did not think Su Mo would win, but they were still very interested in how this fight would unfold!

Towering Sky Peak’s disciples had always been overbearing and out of control. This time, the crowd was excited to see a Towering Sky Peak’s disciple meet his end at the hand of a disciple from another peak, this would be Towering Sky Peak’s comeuppance!
