Chapter 124: Life in the Balance

Translator: Transn Editor: Transn

The blow from this Lv 6 Spiritual Martial Realm martial artist was very powerful and strong. It was far more damaging than that from a martial artist at Lv 5.

The fist radiance was dazzling, the fist shadow was flashing, and the fist force was like a roaring and rolling river with a surging momentum.

This punch could beat any martial artist at the Peak Lv 5 Spiritual Martial Realm down to his knees.

The punch approached Su Mo at an inconceivable speed, and even though he was quite nimble, he could not dodge out of the way.

“Destroy!”

Su Mo yelled with anger as a sword radiance went up into the sky and struck the fist shadow.

“Divine Wind Swordplay—Wind Roaring in the Sky!”

His swordplay caused a gale to blow all of sudden. The sharp sword radiance was infused with the billowy gale, and attacked the oncoming fist shadow in a split second.

Boom! Boom!

As the collision happened, a shaking explosion was produced. Su Mo felt an unstoppable force, which was overwhelming enough to topple the mountains and overturn the seas.

This kind of force was so staggering that he could not resist it at all.

“Ugh!”

Su Mo quivered vigorously, and a few muffled groans escaped his lips. He could not regain his legs until he was driven back 30 meters.

His Blood Qi was furiously boiling, and he felt a taste of blood in his throat. Finally, a stream of blood flowed out of his mouth.

He had gotten hurt from the first attack.

“People at Lv 6 Spiritual Martial Realm are so strong!”

Su Mo’s face was vivid. This person’s strength was more than tenfold the 1,000-member Captain’s.

Su Mo could already kill an ordinary martial artist at Lv 5 Spiritual Martial Realm, while compared to a Lv 6 Spiritual Martial Realm martial artist, he was still far too weak.

This person, as a disciple of the Ulti-mystery Sect, was probably a genius as well—ordinary martial artists at Lv 6 Spiritual Martial Realm could not be compared with him.

“You are Su Mo, right?”

Four disciples from the Ulti-mystery Sect arrived. The long-faced guy was showing his killing desire right on his face, and he said venomously, “You killed dozens of my people. Today, I will tear you to pieces!”

“You want to tear me to pieces?”

Su Mo squinted, his eyes outpoured piercing coldness, and he snorted, “You are strong indeed. But not strong enough if you want to kill me!”

“How dare you still be so rude on your deathbed!”

The long-faced guy sneered and said proudly, “You are a genius indeed. You have a cultivation at Lv 3 Spiritual Martial Realm, while you have Lv 5 strength.

“Still, you are not qualified to be my rival.

“Now let me show you what absolute strength is!”

The long-faced guy sneered again as he stepped out and approached Su Mo in the blink of an eye, swinging his fist.

He had an unbeatable imposing manner and was overwhelmingly threatening, and his punches were as powerful as cannonballs.

This punch was even stronger than the previous punch.

The other three disciples at the Peak Lv 5 Spiritual Martial Realm scattered swiftly because they wanted to surround Su Mo in case he tried to escape.

Whoosh!

This time, Su Mo did not try to fight with him, but just practiced Shadow Steps and tried to dodge his opponent’s attack.

“You think you can escape?”

As an expert at Lv 6 Spiritual Martial Realm, the long-faced guy was swift as well. He trod on the heels of Su Mo with constant attacks from both of his fists.

Blotting out the sky, fist shadows flashed from all directions toward Su Mo.

Su Mo kept dodging and shuttling among the fist shadows like a skiff floating and drifting around in the sea that could sink at any minute.

But under the constant attacks from the long-faced guy, Su Mo had less and less room to dodge.

He was facing a huge crisis.

“This is not good! If it continues, I will die!”

As Su Mo was beginning to panic, he suddenly realized that he still had an ace up his sleeve.

Sword will!

Although his sword will was powerful, it could only increase his strength by 70-80%.

There was a huge gap between Su Mo’s strength and the long-faced guy’s, so even if Su Mo took the full use of his sword will, he could not guarantee victory.

“I have to improve myself more!”

Su Mo finally made the decision. Then, he rushed to the other side where a disciple of the Ulti-mystery Sect at the Peak Lv 5 Spiritual Martial Realm was standing.

Su Mo had already devoured the 1,000-member Captain of the Wild Wolf Army, and his cultivation had already reached the critical point of a breakthrough, so he was only a half step away from Lv 4 Spiritual Martial Realm.

Just one more martial artist at Lv 5 Spiritual Martial Realm to devour and he would officially be at Lv 4.

Once he got to Lv 4, his strength would be doubled and this crisis would be solved.

“Stop him!”

The long-faced guy saw his move and thought it was a sign of trying to escape, so he yelled to that disciple in a hurry.

“Su Mo, you can not get away!”

That disciple growled and his palm flew at Su Mo, who was hit by a green palm print shadow.

The disciple was confident and, although he knew that he could not kill Su Mo, he thought there was no problem in stopping him.

“Go to hell!”

Su Mo’s eyes were icy as he shouted and sprang up.

A sharp and cold air arose at that moment.

Along with it, an overwhelmingly sharp Sword Qi appeared as well.

This Sword Qi was soaring up into the sky, and Su Mo saw the illusory shadows of the sword flashing by.

He had finally exploited the force of his sword will.

“Final Hit of Heavenly Wind!”

His swordsmanship became infused with sword will, so his sword momentum was even stronger, and the matchless sword force came along with it with extreme indifference.

Su Mo swung his sword and chopped into the void.

At that moment, he practiced his most powerful combat strength.

It combined the thick Genuine Qi from his four Spiritual Spirals, his strong beast-like human body, the final hit of Divine Wind Swordplay, and the overwhelming sword will.

This hack was meant to kill at once!

“Slash!”

The sword radiance was unstoppable and damaging as it tore the green palm print shadow to shreds and hit the disciple of the Ulti-mystery Sect on his chest.

The sword radiance was flashing away and disappeared in a split second, just like it never even existed.

This disciple at the Peak Lv 5 Spiritual Martial Realm suddenly got pop-eyed, and his last breath of life vanished into the air.

Whoosh!

Su Mo stepped forward and directly grabbed the guy’s body.

Then he woke up his Devouring Martial Spirit.

This guy’s turbulent Qi of blood essence suddenly rushed into Su Mo’s body.

Boom!

The strong Qi of blood essence rumbled through Su Mo’s meridians and gradually turned into Genuine Qi, flowing into the four Spiritual Spirals in his elixir field.

Su Mo already had a cultivation at the Peak Lv 3 Spiritual Martial Realm, so after getting so much energy, his cultivation was going to level up.

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

The four Spiritual Spirals rumbled and rushed to the bottleneck of the realm.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

At just that moment, the long-faced guy and the other two disciples had already surrounded Su Mo.

“Damn it!”

The long-faced guy raged. He could not believe that Su Mo had just killed his buddy again right in front of him.

It literally drove him crazy.

“Cloud-dominating Fist!”

The long-faced guy totally flew into a rage as his fist was sent out with dreadful power.

The huge fist shadow went directly toward Su Mo with destructive air.

“Thunderclap Palm!”

“Wild Sand Sabermanship!”

The other two disciples at the Peak Lv 5 Spiritual Martial Realm were doubtless as well, and they moved at the same time as the long-faced guy.

Fist shadows, palm prints, and Sword Qi all surrounded Su Mo simultaneously in under a second.

At this moment, Su Mo had no place to hide!
