Chapter 279 - Su Mo vs. Duan Jingtian
Translator: Transn Editor: Transn
The sword pierced through Meng Han's palm print and slashed at Meng Han.
It was swift, fierce, and could seemingly destroy anything in its way.
"How is that possible?"
Meng Han's face changed and he began to tremble as he could not hurt Su Mo at all despite using almost all of his strength.
He didn't dare face Su Mo head-on and was about to fall back.
But just as he was about to dodge Su Mo's attack, Su Mo sneered and instantly drove his Devouring Martial Spirit to surround Meng Han with its devouring power.
Meng Han was stopped for a second due to his Genuine Vitality and Blood Qi being in disorder.
It took just half a second for Meng Han to suppress his chaotic Blood Qi and Genuine Vitality.
But it was more than enough time for Su Mo.
Swoosh!
With a flash of cold light, an unparalleled sword radiance had approached Meng Han.
"Crap!"
Meng Han was shocked as a sense of extreme danger made his blood run cold.
"Tidal Shield!"
At this critical moment, he let out a yell and pushed his palms forward to form a 10-meter circular shield with a considerable amount of Genuine Vitality in an instant.
The shield looked mystical with tides ebbing and flowing on its surface as it formed a strong defense.
Any attack landing on the shield would lose over half of its power.
Su Mo's sword radiance chopped at the shield the moment it formed.
Boom!
A bang echoed throughout Gale Island as the Tidal Shield shattered from the power of the sword radiance.
Meng Han was then hit by a powerful force.
Puff!
Meng Han trembled as he spewed out blood violently. He was blown off like a meteor.
"Jesus!"
"How is this possible!"
"Elder Meng Han was utterly defeated!"
This shocking scene stunned all the disciples. Su Mo, who had just reached the Lv 1 True Spirit Realm, easily defeated the inner elder, Meng Han!
Swoosh!
Not giving Meng Han any breathing space, Su Mo quickly closed in on him and slashed at him again with a dazzling ray of sword radiance.
"Stop!"
As a roar burst out, two people rose to the sky and quickly rushed over to Su Mo.
They were Duan Jingtian and the First Elder of the Inner Gate.
The two quickly rushed toward Su Mo in an attempt to stop him from killing Meng Han.
But both of them were just on the ground and they could not make it in time!
Su Mo completely disregarded them and followed through with his attack. The sharp sword radiance could seemingly tear apart anything in its way.
Meng Han, who was already severely injured, had no chance of evading the attack. The razor-sharp sword radiance went right through him.
Slice!
The horrified expression remained on Meng Han's face as the sword radiance cut through his body. It had been divided in two from the center just like Pang He.
Swoosh!
Meng Han's body fell from the sky.
Duan Jingtian and the First Elder stopped and gaped at the corpse. This scene was so similar to what had happened to Pang He before.
At this moment, the whole Gale Island was dead silent.
The crowd felt amazed while looking up at the youth who was standing tall in the sky. This man was a real genius with an invincible combat strength!
They could not help looking at Duan Jingtian and comparing him to Su Mo.
They were then awestruck because they realized that Su Mo's talent had clearly surpassed Duan Jingtian's. At the very least, Duan Jingtian was far less accomplished than Su Mo at his age.
"Die!" At this moment, Duan Jingtian roared as he swiftly flew toward Su Mo with a punch.
This blow was extremely powerful. The fist radiance was like a burning sun and instantly approached Su Mo.
"Break!"
As the sword radiance flashed again, Su Mo swung at the fist radiance with his sword.
Boom!
The fist radiance shattered with a bang and its tremendous force forced Su Mo back more than a dozen meters.
"Haha! Duan Jingtian, have you lost your patience?" Su Mo scoffed as he was forced back.
"Su Mo, you'll die today!" Duan Jingtian's voice was as cold as ice.
"Really?"
Su Mo sneered and continued, "Duan Jingtian, I'm already on equal terms with you now!"
Hearing that, Duan Jingtian said with a cold smile, "Su Mo, do you think you're capable of fighting me now?"
Floating in the sky, Duan Jingtian walked toward Su Mo step by step. With an invincible momentum surging around him, he looked like an undefeated king.
His powerful and unstoppable aura far exceeded both Pang He and Meng Han.
Su Mo would be at Duan Jingtian's mercy half a month ago, but now, he paid no attention to it.
Duan Jingtian was at the late stage of the Lv 3 True Spirit Realm, which was a level lower than even Meng Han. However, his aura was several times more powerful than Meng Han.
"That's for you to find out." Su Mo looked calm and fearless.
Buzz!
A golden halberd appeared in Duan Jingtian's hand. It dazzled like it was made of pure gold.
"I'll kill you in three strokes!" Duan Jingtian said coldly. He swept toward Su Mo with his halberd.
A ray of gold light burst from the halberd and shot up into the sky. It struck Su Mo's waist in the blink of an eye.
"Three strokes? You're really confident!" Su Mo said with a disdainful smile.
Su Mo's aura suddenly rose and he shattered the incoming golden light with a single slash.
"What? The Peak Lv 2 True Spirit Realm!"
Duan Jingtian was stunned for a moment before his face went black. At this moment, Su Mo's aura was no longer at the Lv 1, but at the Peak Lv 2 True Spirit Realm instead.
What he was afraid of was not Su Mo's cultivation but his rapid advancement. It had shocked him.
As Su Mo revealed his true cultivation, the audience on the ground was in an uproar.
"God! Su Mo's reached the Lv 2 True Spirit Realm!"
"Unbelievable! He was still in the Spiritual Martial Realm a month ago, yet he has already reached the Lv 2 True Spirit Realm!"
"Su Mo is only at the Lv 2. Is he capable of fighting Senior Brother Duan Jingtian?"
"I'm not sure, but Su Mo is a freak. Maybe he really can be a match for him!"
People were debating. No one looked down on Su Mo this time even if his opponent was Duan Jingtian, a terrifying genius.
Su Mo had left them awestruck every single time. His display of talent and combat strength had already put him on the same level as Duan Jingtian!
