Chapter 120: Deep Anxiety
Translator: Transn Editor: Transn
Outside Guanwu City, the battling sounds consumed the earth.
Blood Qi covered the ground and everywhere was unbearable sights of dead bodies.
Mo Tie and Yuan Zhan met again. They were battling crazily with each other and the momentum they released was very powerful.
The rest of the soldiers stayed away from them to avoid being hurt.
Most of the soldiers had released their Martial Souls thus the battlefield was filled with unique Martial Souls and various colors that exuded from the attacks.
Su Mo went back to the city wall and gathered with Niu Xiaohu, Zhou Xin and the rest.
“Senior Brother Su Mo, you’re amazing! Extremely powerful!”
Li Feng said excitedly, when he, Niu Xiaohu, and Zhou Xin had gathered themselves around Su Mo.
They still looked shocked.
They knew that Su Mo’s combat strength was powerful but not to such a great extent.
One could no longer describe it simply as powerful, it was beyond description! It was too amazing!
Luo Qianfan stood nearby and looked at Su Mo in deep eyes. A strange light flashed in his eyes.
“Hahaha, from now on, just follow me and I guarantee you will prosper!” Su Mo said happily.
He was in a good mood.
These words were the same as Li Feng said to Niu Xiaohu previously.
“Hahaha!”
They all laughed.
Upon seeing Su Mo in such a high spirit, the disciples from the other sects had different facial expressions.
The disciples from the other three sects took mental note of Su Mo.
Should they come across Su Mo in future, they would stay away and not meddle with him.
Two youths with cold faces who were the disciples from Gale Island stood at a corner and glanced at Su Mo, and killing desire flashed in their eyes.
After swallowing an elixir to regain his genuine Qi, Su Mo stood at the city wall with his eyes fixed on the battle.
Even with four Spiritual Spirals and strong genuine Qi, after the numerous challenges that he had taken on, Su Mo had used up most of his genuine Qi.
Outside the city, the battle between the armies of Skymoon and Ironforest Country caused both parties to lose out much. No party was winning.
Although the army of Skymoon was in high spirit, their strength was beneath the army of Ironforest.
There were 50,000 soldiers in Skymoon Country, but only more than 10,000 of them were the elites, Black Scale Army. As for Ironforest Country, there were about 20,000 people of Wild Wolf Army who were as strong as Black Scale Army’s.
Black Scale Army and Wild Wolf Army were now fighting with one another.
The soldiers of Black Scale Army swung their swords and attacked their enemies.
Wild Wolf Army held their sharp Long Snake Spears that could pierce through even the armors.
Looking at the grounds that were covered with blood, the fresh blood that was spewed into the air, the disappearing Martial Souls because of their masters had been killed, Su Mo felt sorry for the soldiers, but at the same time, he felt that it was a great pity.
“So much blood essence!
“So much Martial Souls!
“If I can swallow all those blood essences and Martial Souls!”
These thoughts alone made Su Mo excited.
If he could swallow the blood essence, his cultivation would increase tremendously!
If he could swallow the Martial Souls, his Devouring Martial Spirit would possibly have advanced to the Earth Cla.s.s!
Su Mo’s Devouring Martial Spirit could be improved no matter he devoured Beast Souls or Martial Souls.
However, if he could swallow Martial Souls rather than the Beast Souls, the effects would be better.
The Beast Souls that Su Mo had swallowed previously were of Cla.s.s 4 Lv 2. The effects of swallowing a Cla.s.s 4 Lv 2 Beast Soul was less than swallowing a Martial Soul of the Rank 6 Human Cla.s.s.
To bring his Martial Soul to a higher level within a short period of time, Su Mo would have to swallow Martial Souls.
However, in order to swallow Martial Souls, he would have to kill them.
Su Mo was not hungry to the extent of killing others to bring his Martial Soul to a higher level.
Thus, he usually swallowed Beast Souls.
Although the Beast Souls were not as effective, as long as he had the money, he could easily purchase those Beast Souls of higher ranks.
The higher the rank, the more effective it was. This could make up for the difference.
However, in this war, so many martial artists had died and their Martial Souls were lingering, having nowhere to go.
If he allowed the Martial Souls to dissipate, Su Mo would find it a great pity.
“This is such a great opportunity!”
“Such huge amount of blood essence and countless Martial Souls!”
This was Su Mo’s chance to break through his cultivation!
“Governor Fang, when can we fight?”
After a moment of silence, Su Mo asked Fang Xiao, who was standing nearby.
Even though Su Mo had been eyeing on the blood essence and the Martial Souls, he could not openly devour them. Thus, he wanted to go out to the battlefield and take the opportunity to do it.
The moment Su Mo said this, the disciples from the four sects looked over.
Other than a small number who looked fearful, the rest of them were ready to fight.
“Be patient. Look, the disciples of the Ulti-mystery Sect were still on standby,” Fang Xiao replied, shook his head and pointed afar.
Fang Xiao was very friendly towards Su Mo and treated him with respect.
He had no choice, as Su Mo had now become the hero of Skymoon Country.
His incredible combat strength had gained the respect of everyone.
Fang Xiao was sure that in no time, Su Mo would make a name for himself in Skymoon Country.
Following the direction to where Fang Xiao pointed at, Su Mo saw approximately 200 disciples of the Ulti-mystery Sect retreated a few miles away from the battlefield.
Those people were also watching the battle and had no intention of partic.i.p.ating.
“Governor Fang, if the disciples of the Ulti-mystery Sect do not join in the war, does it mean we will do likewise?”
Su Mo was anxious.
Every minute lost meant the loss of a large amount of blood essence and blood Qi.
Every minute lost meant the loss of a large amount of Martial Souls.
“Governor Fang, I am going out to the battlefield!” Su Mo said, as he could not hold back any longer.
“Senior Brother Su Mo, do not…”
Upon hearing this, Li Feng and his two friends immediately stopped him.
Fang Xiao was taken aback and looked at Su Mo. He frowned and said, “Su Mo, this is a battle between the two armies and not a duel between the martial artists. It is very dangerous and you can lose your life at any moment!”
Fang Xiao was trying to keep Su Mo off the battlefield.
“I know, Governor Fang, please do not worry. With my strength, I can protect myself.”
Su Mo nodded his head and a.s.sured Fang Xiao.
Fang Xiao sighed and continued to shake his head, “No! Let us wait and see!”
Fang Xiao could not let Su Mo go to the battlefield alone. This was a war and not a child’s play.
There were full of martial artists of Lv 5 or Lv 6 Spiritual Martial Realm. Some were even of Lv 7 or Lv 8.
Su Mo was only at Lv 3 Spiritual Martial Realm and even if he had great combat strength, it would be very dangerous for him on the battlefield.
Su Mo was different from the rest of the people.
He was too outstanding!
Su Mo had killed many people from the Ulti-mystery Sect and the martial artists of Ironforest Country hated him to the core.
The moment Su Mo stepped onto the battlefield, he would be attacked from all sides.
Under such circ.u.mstance, let alone a martial artist of Lv 3 Spiritual Martial Realm, any martial artist of Lv 5 or Lv 6 could easily lose his life.
Su Mo was a treasure. It would be a great pity if he were to lose his life on the battlefield.
Thus, Fang Xiao refused to let him go.
Su Mo frowned and sighed.
However, he knew that Fang Xiao was concerned about his safety.
