Warrior's Promise

Chapter 2267: The Rules of Speed

When the martial artists heard what Su Mo had said, the boisterous fighting ground went into silence.

They looked around but no one took to the field.

When the martial artists saw Su Mo’s strength, even the people who were at Rank 1 Advanced True God Realm dared not take the field, let alone those who were at the same rank as Su Mo.

“How about... letting me try?

Qin’er asked Luo Yu and Ji Yuesong after she had pondered for a while.

“Qin’er, forget it!”

Ji Yuesong shook his head and said, “You will not be able to defeat him unless you are a Rank 2 True God!”

Ji Yuesong knew that Qin’er’s combat strength was on par with Chu Yan’s. Even if she was more powerful than Chu Yan, they were not too far apart.

If she challenged Su Mo, she would be wasting her Dawn Stones.

“Is there no one who dares to take the challenge?”

Su Mo asked again loudly as he looked around.

Are these ordinary martial artists? Are there no powerful people around?

“Hoho, shall we fight?”

Suddenly, someone from the grandstand laughed and said.

Everyone, including Su Mo, immediately shifted their gazes toward the direction where the voice came from.

It was a youth in a grey shirt who was sitting on the upper row of the grandstand. He looked ordinary and there was nothing special about him.

However, his looks and build changed drastically in an instant.

In the blink of an eye, the youth in a grey shirt turned into a man in a red shirt.

The man had delicate features and his complexion was as fair as white jade. He looked beautiful.

His long hair flowed down his legs and his fingers were as long as bent blades.

He was more beautiful than the ladies.

“It is Hong Ye from the Mink Tribe in Beast Palace!”

“I am surprised to see him!”

“Haha, this is interesting!”

Many of the martial artists commented when they saw the beautiful man in a red shirt. He was a gifted genius.

There were many Demon Clans in the Beast Palace. Although the Mink Tribe was not a big force, Hong Ye was the most gifted martial artist in the Mink Tribe for several millennia.

Hong Ye was not well-known in Reincarnation Holy Court as he had a low cultivation level but he was famous in Beast Palace.

“It is Hong Ye!”

Ji Yuesong said with a smile. He had heard that Hong Ye was invincible among his peers in Beast Palace.

“He is beautiful!” Qin’er pouted her lips when she saw that the man was beautiful.

It was apparent that she was jealous of his beauty.

That man was as beautiful as her.

“Hong Ye has great combat strength. It is possible for him to defeat that guy!” Luo Yu said. She knew about the geniuses from the various palaces.

Hong Ye’s combat strength surpassed all his peers.

“Come over!” Su Mo said as he looked at Hong Ye. He was not afraid of anyone, even if he was a gifted genius.

Hong Ye could not possibly be as powerful as an Ancient God!

Su Mo had no idea about the Ancient Gods in the Deity Plane and he did not know where to find them.

Hong Ye smiled and in a flash, he landed in the fighting ring.

“You are powerful. However, I don’t fight with people who do not have a name!”

Hong Ye looked at Su Mo and said, “You are powerful, extremely powerful. Tell me your name!”

When everyone heard what Hong Ye had said, they turned to look at Su Mo and waited for him to mention his name.

“My name is Invincible Leng!” Su Mo said flatly. Since those people wanted to know his name, he would give them one.

He had chosen Leng as his family name as he had taken on the looks of Leng Xie.

He had named himself Invincible to show his confidence in being invincible among those at the same rank as him.

Even if a martial artist was two small realms higher than Su Mo, he would not be able to defeat Su Mo, let alone those at the same rank as him.

“Invincible Leng?” Hong Ye squinted his eyes when he heard Su Mo’s reply.

What a name to give himself! He is so arrogant!

Hong Ye knew that it was a pseudonym. Even so, it was presumptuous of the guy to give himself such a name.

“Invincible Leng?”

“I’ve never heard of this name!”

“It must be a pseudonym! No one is so presumptuous to give himself such a name!”

“I have no idea if this is a pseudonym but it sounds egotistic!”

When the martial artists heard Su Mo’s name, they started to talk about it.

It was immodest for one to call himself Invincible!

“He is conceited!” Ji Yuesong sneered. It was shameless of the guy to call himself Invincible.

The gifted geniuses from Heavenly Palace and Earth Palace were in the Reincarnation Holy Court but this guy had named himself Invincible!

“This must be a pseudonym!” Qin’er raised her brows and said confidently.

“This guy has what it takes to be arrogant!” Luo Yu said with a grave look. She was curious about the identity of Invincible Leng!

“Invincible Leng, how much are you betting? 100,000 Lower-grade Dawn Stones?” Hong Ye asked.

He was not concerned about whether Su Mo had given his real name. Since Su Mo was unwilling to disclose his identity, he saw no point in asking any further.

“Yes!” Su Mo nodded as he only had 100,000 Lower-grade Dawn Stones with him. Even if he desired to earn more, he could not do so.

Hong Yue nodded. He took out a storage ring and threw it toward the Administration Counter.

Su Mo took out the storage ring that he had won from Chu Yan, which contained 100,000 Lower-grade Dawn Stones.

After handing the storage ring over to the Administration Counter, Su Mo and Hong Ye looked at each other and did not say a word.

Hong Ye looked grave. He knew that Su Mo was powerful and he did not have absolute confidence in defeating him.

Although Hong Ye was more powerful than Chu Yan, he could tell that Su Mo had not displayed his power.

Su Mo held the Taiyun Divine Sword in his hand and looked impassive. He had confidence in himself.

He had no intention to waste his time on the fight and he would not deal with Hong Ye in the same manner as he had dealt with Chu Yan.

He wanted to defeat his opponent quickly.

Whoosh!

Hong Ye made a move and he was like a red phantom. He appeared all of a sudden on Su Mo’s right and aimed to grab his head.

The blow was quick. Hong Ye’s speed and attacks had way surpassed those of Chu Yan.

Five rays of sharp claw radiance shot out and formed a rune, charging at Su Mo’s head.

The blow was vast like the ocean and it possessed a strange force.

Su Mo was surprised when he sensed the force.

Quick!

That was the Rules of Speed. It had hastened Hong Ye’s attacks and impeded one from countering the attacks.

Su Mo could not fend off the blow as Hong Ye’s blow came on too quickly.

He was caught off-guard as he was not aware of such obscure Rules.

Nevertheless, Su Mo would not sit around and do nothing about it. He triggered his thoughts and immediately activated his defense force.
