Has the third son of Ma become impotent? Did he finish as soon as he went in?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Haha! What a loser. Let’s see if he still has the guts to brag in front of us.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bandits could not help but mock him when they heard the screams coming from the bushes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, their expressions soon changed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a long time, the scar-faced bandit still had not emerged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bushes were completely silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What happened? Why hasn’t he come out yet?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All the bandits were confused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ma the Third…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bandits began yelling his nickname, but there was no reply from the bushes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You two, go take a look,” ordered the leader of the bandits to two men next to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two looked at each other and walked into the bushes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, they did not make a single sound after entering the bushes, as if they had completely disappeared, just like the scar-faced bandit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All the bandits finally could not sit still any longer and stood up with grave expressions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Damn it, what happened?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fu*k! What the hell!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Humph! I want to know who has the guts to mess with the Bloody Blade Stockade!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The leader of the bandits yelled with a grave expression, “You two, stay here to watch over these women. The rest come check it out with me!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clang! Clang! Clang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They unsheathed their steel sabers and approached the bushes in a fan shape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huff… Huff…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many of them were panting and alert, prepared for any potential danger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon after they stepped into the bushes, they saw three mangled corpses in the grass.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was the scar-faced bandit and the two bandits who had come to check on him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three bodies did not even look like human anymore. They were completely emaciated and drained of their blood and Qi, as if they had been mummified.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If not for their clothes, the bandits would not be able to tell that the corpses were their companions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hiss!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hiss! Hiss!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although these bandits were cruel murderers who were numb to death, they all hissed in shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is this…. the work of a vampire?” one of the bandits asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, there was no one in sight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No, they were killed by a human. Look at their necks.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An astute bandit noticed that there was a thin slice on each of the three corpses’ necks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Killed in one sword stroke!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the same for all three men.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ah! Ah…!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, something strange happened again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two screams came from behind them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The terrified screams of the women followed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Damn it…!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All the bandits retreated in shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bandits saw that the two men they had left behind were lying on the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next to the two men stood a young man. He was around 15 years old, held a bloody sword, and was looking at them coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the women saw this man run out and swiftly kill two people, they began screaming in terror.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t be afraid. I won’t hurt you!” said the young man to the women.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That young man was Su Mo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had followed the scar-faced bandit and saw him trying to do unspeakable things to a woman, so he entered the bushes, killed the scar-faced bandit, and saved the young woman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, he killed the other two bandits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Afterwards, he also devoured all of their blood and Qi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All three bandits were at Lv 3 Qi Cultivation Realm, and after Su Mo devoured their blood and Qi, he immediately reached the Peak Lv 3 Qi Cultivation Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, when the bandits came to inspect the situation, he circled back around and killed the two guards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, Su Mo effortlessly killed five men in a row.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who are you? How dare you challenge the Bloody Blade Stockade?” asked the leader, who sized up Su Mo coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m the one to kill all of you!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Mo’s eyes were cold, and he exuded a fierce murderous aura.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Humph! Peak of Lv 3 Qi Cultivation Realm, and you want to kill us all?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bandit leader sensed Su Mo’s cultivation and chuckled. He waved at his subordinates, and they immediately surrounded Su Mo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The leader was at Lv 5 Qi Cultivation Realm and very powerful. Three or four of his men were at Lv 4, and the others were at Lv 3.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With all their strength, he naturally was not afraid of a scrawny Lv 3 kid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, he still did not let his guard down, since this kid had somehow mummified all the bodies that he killed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Also, this kid must be considerably powerful since he had managed to kill all those men without a sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’ll see.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Mo grinned. The benefits from devouring all the blood Qi had begun to boil his blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Kill him!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bandit leader ordered his men with a wave, while he stood still and watch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Kill!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Kill! Kill!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Four bandits roared, and rushed toward Su Mo and cut with their glinting steel sabers at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bandit leader chuckled. He believed that this attack would instantly kill the kid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All four attacking bandits were at Lv 3 Qi Cultivation Realm. Together, they would overpower even a Lv 4 martial artist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Mo scoffed at their attack and said, “Go to hell!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Whoosh!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Mo used Shadow Steps to dodge their attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Whoosh!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A dazzling sword radiance appeared, and Sword Qi shot out everywhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ah! Ah…!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a series of cries, all four bandits immediately collapsed and died.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Killed with one stroke!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All the other bandits stared in disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They could not understand how this kid at Lv 3 Qi cultivation could be so powerful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Kill! Everyone! There’s no way a low-level kid can kill us all!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bandit leader roared with a livid face and led the rush forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He carried a giant billhook, which he forcefully brought down upon Su Mo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This billhook weighed at least 100 kg. Combined with the leader’s cultivation of Level Five, one hack was enough to split even metal into two.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Mo did not dodge his attack but instead met it with his sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gale Blade!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Mo channeled all of his genuine Qi and his physical strength to carry out the first move of Divine Wind Swordplay, Gale Blade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The billhook and sword violently crashed into each other and gave off a thunderous noise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Mo’s entire body shook, and he and the bandit leader both staggered back three steps.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both men were equal in this attack!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the bandit leader was at Lv 5 Qi Cultivation Realm, which was two whole realms higher than Su Mo’s, his cultivation skill and martial arts techniques were only Medium Lv 1.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Mo was only at Lv 3 Qi Cultivation Realm, but his Primordial Original Qi was incredibly strong and made his true ability equal that of Lv 4.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Also considering his physical strength, he could easily contend with Lv 4 martial artists.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He also had cultivated a Lower Lv 3 Martial Skill, the Divine Wind Swordplay.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he had begun cultivating this skill earlier, he would have been able to defeat the bandit leader with that stroke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How is this possible?” the bandit leader roared in shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How can you be so powerful at only Peak Lv 3 Qi Cultivation Realm?”\u003C\u002Fp>",1226,"2026-06-05T21:45:05.822Z",1,"novelbin.me","97dafede90fb7f328970635c915d5fd8113173119fbd715f1331054a1ef15467","warrior-s-promise-chapter-17","warrior-s-promise-chapter-15",3336,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fwarrior-s-promise-cover.jpg"]
