That’s why it looks like this now.” Su Mo admitted truthfully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Devoured?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xi’er was even more confused, for she did not understand how it could be done.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Haha, Xi’er, if you want to how, I’ll show you later,” Su Mo said with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xi’er only shook her head and said, “Since you don’t want me to see it, then I won’t.

They surrounded Su Mo and Xi’er without saying a word and obviously had bad intentions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Su Mo, give us the girl, and I might consider letting you live.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The leader of this group was a tall and strong middle-aged man with a cold face and eyes full of killing desire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Mo arched his brows after hearing that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“They’re here for Xi’er, and they know my identity. It seems they came prepared,”Su Mo thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who are you?” Su Mo snapped at them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A dying man has no business knowing.” The middle-aged man sneered, and then he waved his hands and shouted, “Kill him!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was obviously unwilling to waste his time, so he gave a prompt order.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoosh! Whoosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The others waved their long sabers and sprang toward Su Mo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These people had a very powerful aura and were all at Lv 7.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If combined, they could even rival someone at Lv 8.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swish!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Mo quickly pulled Xi’er away, and they dodged the sabers, leaving only a shadow where they had just stood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Xi’er, get on my back and hold tight!” Su Mo pulled her onto his back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although they were all at Lv 7 Qi Cultivation Realm, it was impossible for them to kill him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Mo was only slightly threatened by the leader, who seemed to be at the Peak Lv 8 Qi Cultivation Realm, far more powerful than the others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he were fighting a master at the Peak Lv 8 Qi Cultivation Realm one-on-one, he would definitely be able to slip away easily if he could not win.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, protecting Xi’er was his top priority.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xi’er also understood the severity of the situation, so she obediently climbed onto Su Mo’s back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Mo felt the softness and fragrance of her body, but before he could enjoy it, a long saber hit toward him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Whoosh!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Mo used his body move to dodge to the side of a man in black.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clash!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a long sword came out of its sheath, with a flash of sword radiance, a stream of blood sprayed out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Killed in one move!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Mo stepped back rapidly after the kill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The men in black were so astonished that he could kill someone in such a short time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He’s so fast!” the leader said in shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just a month ago, Su Mo’s strength was rarely equivalent to the Lv 7, but now, he could instantly kill a Lv 7 martial artist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re still going to hell today!” the leader roared, pulling out his revolving saber and hacking toward Su Mo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hacked three times in a row, and three sharp gusts of sword Qi went zig-zagging toward Su Mo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The saber Qi blocked Su Mo from dodging, so he had to face it directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Gale Blade!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Mo swung his sword with the power of surging winds. Soon, the sword radiance burst out and cut the saber Qi in front of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The saber Qi was shattered and turned into a fierce wind that swept around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Uh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, a muffled groan escaped from Xi’er’s lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Mo turned back and found Xi’s face was pale as white paper. She was biting her lips so hard to hold her moans back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Mo was shocked and felt guilty for not noticing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xi’er was so weak that she could not withstand the aftershocks of the attacks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, there was no time to think. As soon as he countered this attack, more attacks came from the other men.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The saber radiance shined like streaks of lightning, heading toward Su Mo’s vital parts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swirling Winds and Clouds!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a sword slashed, a fierce wind forced both the men and Su Mo back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could have beaten those men, but he had to make sure that Xi’er could avoid the aftershock of his attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Su Mo could find his footing, the saber radiance swept toward his stomach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The leader had attacked him again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The others also attacked him fiercely and did not give Su Mo the slightest break.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The leader struck him at his most vulnerable time, which was after Su Mo finished his last strike and before he could strike again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In order to protect Xi’er, Su Mo had to reign in his attacks, so he could not display his full strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Mo could no longer resisting the attack and could only try his best to dodge it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Puff!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Su Mo managed to dodge the blade, the saber Qi still left a deep wound on him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His blood streamed out of the wound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brother Su Mo!” Xi’er was horrified, and tears appeared in her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brother Su Mo, just put me down and forget about me. You should run!” Xi’er said, sobbing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Xi’er, don’t be silly. They can’t trap me if I don’t want to stay.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Mo laughed, and then he swiftly shifted his direction and dashed deeper into the woods.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the blink of an eye, he had run dozens of meters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Follow him and don’t let him get away!” The leader ordered and led his men after Su Mo.\u003C\u002Fp>",1367,"2026-06-05T21:45:05.822Z",1,"novelbin.me","78c4d103f41d8c7420907d451052576c5ca91209d5b5dacc9017294689f60ed4","warrior-s-promise-chapter-29","warrior-s-promise-chapter-27",3336,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fwarrior-s-promise-cover.jpg"]
