Chapter 123: Crisis
Translator: Transn Editor: Transn
Su Mo faced the Captain of the Wild Wolf Army. The Captain had a cultivation of Lv 5 Spiritual Martial Realm.
Su Mo did not want to engage in a long battle. He did not hesitate to use his strongest move.
“Divine Wind Swordplay, Final Hit of Heavenly Wind!”
A stream of cold light suddenly shot through the air and vaporized.
The cold light was as fierce as lightning and as traceless as wind.
In the split of a second, this light approached the Captain.
“What?”
The Captain’s pupils suddenly contracted into the size of pinheads. He was terrified.
Such powerful swordsmans.h.i.+p!
Such a swift stroke!
He had never seen such skill before.
Faced with such a terrifying sword, the Captain’s hairs all stood on end. The fear of death arose in his heart.
“Grrrrr!”
Unable to dodge this deadly blow, the man growled loudly and quickly swung his long spear to block the light.
He failed!
Puff!
The cold light slashed through the Captain’s neck and tore through his body-protecting Genuine Qi and flesh in the next moment.
Whoos.h.!.+
The light disappeared. Su Mo glared coldly at his opponent.
“Aheck! Heck!!”
The Captain of the Wild Wolf Army stood and coughed.
Then, his neck exploded with blood, and his head fell off and crashed onto the ground.
Su Mo breathed a sigh of relief. Divine Wind Kill was the final hit move for Divine Wind Swordplay. It never let him down.
It always earned him victory in battles with opponents of equal ability.
With this move, there would inevitably be blood.
Su Mo walked over to the corpse and absorbed energy from the captain’s blood through his feet.
Boom!
The strong Blood Qi rumbled through his meridians and gradually turned into genuine Qi, flowing into the four Spiritual Spirals in his elixir field.
The four Spiritual Spirals spun furiously and rapidly increased in size inside his body.
The Qi of blood essence of the Lv 5 Spiritual Martial Realm Captain was incredibly powerful, equivalent to that of hundreds of martial artist at Lv 3 Spiritual Martial Realm.
In only the span of a couple breaths, Su Mo’s cultivation sped to the peak of Lv 3 Spiritual Martial Realm, only inches from Lv 4.
Su Mo hurriedly tried to break into Lv 4 Spiritual Martial Realm.
However, most of the Blood Qi he devoured had been used up, and the remaining amount was not enough to break into another realm.
“d.a.m.n it, is all the blood essence of a martial artist at Lv 5 Spiritual Martial Realm still not enough?”
Su Mo could not help but curse in his mind.
When he had used the elixir to break into Lv 3 Spiritual Martial Realm, it had not felt that obvious.
Now, he realized that he was at a great disadvantage.
If he had nine Spiritual Spirals, would it not be hard for him to make a cultivation breakthrough even after he devoured an expert of Lv 6 Spiritual Martial Realm?
What kind of concept was that?
The Qi of blood essence of a martial artist at Lv 6 Spiritual Martial Realm was equivalent to that of almost a thousand martial artist at Lv 3.
That was to say, Su Mo would need to devour the blood essence of almost a thousand martial artists of the same level, in order to enter Lv 4 Spiritual Martial Realm.
These thoughts made his mouth twitch with annoyance!
If an ordinary martial artist in the Spiritual Martial Realm cultivated nine Spiritual Spirals, he would never break through his cultivation.
The good thing was that Su Mo only had four Spiritual Spirals.
Despite his frustration, Su Mo was also thinking furiously.
“What’s not lacking on this battlefield?”
“Blood essence!”
He had to use this opportunity to break through the bottleneck and enter Lv 4 Spiritual Martial Realm.
“Follow me closely,” Su Mo told Li Feng and the other two.
Then, he picked up his long sword and began killing like crazy.
“Die!” Su Mo yelled.
Puff! Puff!
Su Mo killed the Ironforest soldiers who were below Lv 4 Spiritual Martial Realm like he was cutting gra.s.s. He took down a crowd with every swing of his sword.
A ma.s.s of blood spewed out. Su Mo’s body once again began receiving an endless supply of Blood Qi, which turned into genuine Qi and entered the four Spiritual Spirals.
As he killed the enemies, he tried hard to break into Lv 4 Spiritual Martial Realm.
“Senior Brother Su Mo, the disciples of the Ulti-mystery Sect have joined the battle!” Li Feng said.
Su Mo looked up and saw that nearly 200 Ulti-mystery Sect disciples had entered the battlefield.
These disciples immediately rushed towards the disciples of the four sects.
Soon, they began fighting.
Su Mo needed to devour blood essence and Martial Souls, so he did not rush to the front. Instead, he ran to the back with Li Feng and the other two.
“Ignore them!” Su Mo said, and he continued to kill the Ironforest soldiers around him.
“Oh no, Brother Su Mo, they are rus.h.i.+ng towards us!”
Li Feng suddenly shouted, and his expression changed.
“Hm?”
Su Mo looked over and saw four Ulti-mystery Sect disciples rus.h.i.+ng swiftly towards him.
The four people were incredibly fast. In the span of a couple of breaths, they were only a hundred meters away from Su Mo.
These four disciples had very strong Qi.
Each one was just as strong as the Captain Su Mo had killed. In fact, they were all martial artists at the Peak Lv 5 Spiritual Martial Realm.
The one leading was a long-faced young man who had stronger Qi than the other three.
He was an expert at Lv 6 Spiritual Martial Realm!
“Shoot!”
Su Mo was startled.
These people were definitely here to kill him.
If there were only three martial artists at Lv 5 Spiritual Martial Realm, or even three martial artists at the Peak Lv 5 Spiritual Martial Realm, he would not be afraid.
However, with an additional martial artist at Lv 6 Spiritual Martial Realm, he would definitely lose.
With Su Mo’s body movement, it was not an issue for him to escape, but he was worried about Li Feng and the other two.
They were all too weak; their cultivations were at Lv 1 Spiritual Martial Realm.
Su Mo was thinking furiously. Suddenly he saw a nearby figure in white out of the corner of his eye.
The figure flashed around at the outer area, holding a bow that could shoot five arrows at a time.
The arrows fell like deadly comets, piercing through the armor and bodies of the Ironforest soldiers.
Who could this be, if not for Luo Qianfan?
“Go to Luo Qianfan,” Su Mo said hastily to Li Feng and the other two.
“Luo Qianfan, take good care of my three Junior Brothers!”
Su Mo used genuine Qi to pa.s.s a message to Luo Qianfan.
In the distance, Luo Qianfan heard this and nodded to Su Mo.
“Senior Brother Su Mo! You must quickly retreat as well!” Zhou Xin said nervously.
He could tell that the Ulti-mystery Sect disciples were incredibly strong, and Su Mo was no match for them.
“Move quickly!” Su Mo shouted.
Boom!
Suddenly, the long-faced young man from the Ulti-mystery Sect sent a strike toward Su Mo from a hundred meters away.
The fist radiance was blinding as a giant fist shadow tore through the air.
