Chapter 287 - The Proud Son of Heaven
Translator: Transn Editor: Transn
The temperature of this war was rising. The Four Talents of Skymoon Country were unstoppable, and most of their opponents conceded before the fight.
Especially when those disciples from the Scorching Sun Sect and Gale Island met Duan Jingtian or Jin Yang.
Both of the two parties' disciples had beat each other, yet none died.
They were not fools. Although they got the order to kill, they conceded if their opponents' cultivation was too high. Therefore, it was natural to get hurt by same level opponents, yet hard to kill.
Soon after, it was Su Mo's turn.
"Group three, Su Mo vs. Huo Tianjiao!"
Right after the host's voice, an arrogant-looking youth flew from the area of the Scorching Sun Sect to the fighting ring.
So did Su Mo.
Seeing another fight between the Scorching Sun Sect and the Gale Island, the crowd had beaming faces. "So much fun again!"
"How dare he get on the stage?"
Huo Tianjiao was famous throughout Skymoon Country, and he was more than an ordinary core disciple. His cultivation had reached the Late Lv 3 True Spirit Realm, which was enough to rank in the top five of the core disciples of the Scorching Sun Sect.
When Huo Tianjiao saw that his opponent was fearless despite of his Lv 2 True Spirit Realm cultivation, he laughed.
"Interestingly, you haven't conceded! You've got balls!" Huo Tianjiao sneered and said.
With all his indifference, Su Mo glimpsed at him and said nothing.
"What, you think you stand a chance?" Seeing Su Mo keeping silence, Huo Tianjiao was even more scornful and said, "Three moves, and you're dead!"
Still, Su Mo stood there and coldly watched him in a manner of watching a dumbass who kept talking to himself.
"Why don't you speak, man?" Huo Tianjiao was irritated by his opponent's silence.
"You'll be dead soon anyway, so why spare words?" Finally, Su Mo spoke indifferently.
"What?" Huo Tianjiao was surprised. He looked Su Mo up and down again, smirked and said, "You're only at Peak Lv 2 True Spirit Realm, how dare you!"
The crowd on the spectators stand were also a little bit dumbfounded.
"How could that guy be so confident?"
The Gale Island members chuckled. They knew it was easy for Su Mo to kill this man.
Even some Sky Alliance members sneered. Although they were Su Mo's enemy, they were glad to see Su Mo kill a Scorching Sun Sect member.
"Huo Tianjiao, come back!" A yell came from the spectators stand of the Scorching Sun Sect.
The one who yelled was Jin Yang.
Huo Tianjiao was struck dumb and frowned. "Is this Su Mo really strong?"
"It's too late!" While Huo Tianjiao was in doubt and shock, a bleak voice came from Su Mo.
Clang!
A sharp sword radiance was shot toward Huo Tianjiao.
The sword radiance was full of mighty strength, ready to eliminate everything. It was so fast that it cut right on his head before he had any time to react.
Clash!
Scabbarding his sword, Su Mo coldly looked at the motionless Huo Tianjiao in front of him, smirked and said, "Huo Tianjiao? Loser, are you not ashamed to be named after the meaning of a proud son of heaven? Better call you 'Huo Hujiao'!"
Su Mo then went back to the spectators stand.
Finally, after Su Mo sat down once more, a line of blood bled from Huo Tianjiao's head down to his genitals.
Splash!
Blood spouted out, and Huo Tianjiao split into two pieces.
After a short silence, the crowd burst into an uproar.
"Oh My God! Huo Tianjiao, with Late Lv 3 True Spirit Realm cultivation, was killed by a single sword stroke!"
"How can this be? Is Su Mo catching up the Four Talents?"
"Gale Island hides its experts so well!"
Everyone was shocked and looked at that youngster.
Su Mo, who only had Lv 2 True Spirit Realm cultivation, managed to kill Huo Tianjiao with only one stroke. Incredible!
It once was said that a peerless genius from Gale Island had a 151 winning streak on the Four Seas Arena. Now the crowd was wondering if the rumor was talking about Su Mo.
Immediately afterward, the crowd shook their head and dismissed the notion. "Months ago, his was a Lv 5 Spiritual Martial Realm martial artist. Talented as he is, it's impossible for him to reach Lv 2 True Spirit Realm in such a short period of time."
Lie Huo looked extremely solemn. He was heartbroken about losing Huo Tianjiao.
However, Lie Huo suppressed his anger, because it was he that started this war, and he should take the consequences.
"Jin Yang, you've gotta kill him later!" Lie Huo turned around his head and said.
Jin Yang did not answer. He narrowed his eyes slightly, evaluating Su Mo's strength.
In fact, Jin Yang was not absolutely certain if he could slay Su Mo. After all, Su Mo had killed Xin Wuming, which was way too unbelievable!
Considering Xin Wuming was seriously wounded at the time, Jin Yang could not figure out the exact strength of Su Mo.
Now, seeing him slay Huo Tianjiao in a single sword stroke, Jin Yang had his answer!
Strong!
Very strong!
Jin Yang felt extremely heavy. He might not be able to slay Su Mo unless he uses all his strength.
Whereas the Gale Island disciples were not surprised at all.
Hearing the crowds comments, some of them snickered. "Su Mo is close to the Four Talents of Skymoon Country?"
"He's more than 'close to'. He's even stronger than Duan Jingtian!"
After a short while, the corpse of Huo Tianjiao was cleared up. The matches continued, and Su Mo went on a winning streak.
The matches in group one and group two were rather bland. Yun Jiankong and Duan Jingtian had never lost. As for the others, despite losing to the strongest two, they won as much they could in order to be in the top 10 of their group and get an offer from Top-100-talent Competition.
In contrast, group three caught more attention for its participants—Jin Yang, Su Mo, and the core disciple, Xie Tianjue from the Sky Yuan Sect.
As one of the Four Talents of Skymoon Country, Xie Tianjue was so strong that all of his opponents conceded.
The crowd was expecting the battle among this three.
Finally, serval battles later, the big game was about to begin.
"Group three, Jin Yang vs. Xie Tianjue!" The host elder proclaimed.
His voice came with a dead silence. Everybody's spirit was aroused.
It was hard to see a battle between the Four Talents of Skymoon Country!
For this reason, Su Mo paid attention to this battle. "Compared to Duan Jingtian, how good are the Four Talents of Skymoon Country?"
Although Jin Yang had lost to Duan Jingtian one year ago, it was hard to tell who made more progress.
Besides, one year ago, Jin Yang had only lost due to being one move slower.
