Warrior's Promise Chapter 224 - Lv 3 Red Anaconda

An enormous beast rose above the lake, gaping its b.l.o.o.d.y mouth toward Su Mo.

Su Mo could smell the stench before its mouth closed in on him.

He did not panic because he had been vigilant.

At the critical moment, Su Mo twisted his body and forcefully stopped his forward motion. His body spun as he flew upward rapidly. Meanwhile, genuine Qi gushed out from Su Mo’s feet and caused an explosive impact on the lake.

Su Mo was then hit by a strong rebounding force. He shot up several hundred meters into the air like a rocket, thereby evading the attack from the enormous beast.

Su Mo could finally have a proper look at the beast that had attacked him. It was a gigantic yellow anaconda that had a head of the size of a house. It was a terrifying sight.

The anaconda’s eyes, as big as lanterns, were beaming with a chilling light.

Its demonic Qi was overpowering and sent a chill down everyone’s spine. It was a Cla.s.s 1 Lv 3 demonic beast!

“Red Anaconda?”

Su Mo recognized the demonic beast instantly.

Red Anaconda was a common type of demonic beasts. However, Red Anacondas outside were mostly at Lv 2, and there were hardly any at Lv 3. Yet, the Red Anaconda before Su Mo was at Lv 3!

Su Mo knew that it was because Qinghua Rift was rich with Spiritual Qi and treasures. Hence, this Red Anaconda could reach Lv 3.

Roar!

The Red Anaconda roared angrily when it failed to kill Su Mo with one bite. It attacked Su Mo again.

It was fast like a red-colored lightning, and it closed in on Su Mo in an instant.

“Slas.h.!.+”

Despite being in the air, Su Mo was unafraid. With a loud cry, he exerted his seven spiritual spirals and a golden glow appeared on his body. A blinding ray of sword radiance dozens of meters long slashed at the anaconda’s head.

Boom!

With a loud bang, a scale on its head was shattered by the slash.

Su Mo felt a shock in his body as if he had slashed an iron mountain. The strong rebounding force sent him flying backward.

After several dozen meters, Su Mo was still flying in the air. The lake water beneath him tumbled, and a shadow swept toward him.

It was the Red Anaconda’s tail!

Its tail was like a gigantic whip. It was so fast that it produced sonic booms on its path.

“Get lost!”

Su Mo shouted as his sword slashed at its tail.

Boom!

With another loud bang, the shattered genuine Qi dispersed and created an impact crater 100 meters wide on the lake water.

Su Mo was sent backward by the shock again. He only stopped after gliding on the lake for 200 meters.

With his level of cultivation, Su Mo could momentarily stay in the air despite not being able to fly.

With the lake water’s buoyancy, Su Mo could stay atop the surface of the lake.

He looked at the Red Anaconda with a serious expression.

As a Cla.s.s 1 Lv 3 demonic beast, it was comparable to a martial artist at Lv 1 True Spirit Realm. Its strength was terrifying.

Despite the combined strength of the genuine Qi from his seven Spiritual Spirals and his powerful human body, Su Mo was no match for the Red Anaconda in a head-on fight.

Moreover, the scales on the anaconda were tough and had ridiculous defensive power. Su Mo’s Spirit-slayer Sword could barely destroy one of its scales, and could not deal significant damage to it.

But that did not mean that Spirit-slayer Sword was not sharp enough. It was Su Mo who was lacking in strength. If Su Mo was in the True Spirit Realm, he would be able to slice the Red Anaconda into two pieces with an ordinary sword.

However, Red Anaconda’s strength ignited Su Mo’s fighting desire.

“A Lv 3 Demonic Beast? I’ll not necessarily lose to you!”

“Xiao Qingfeng, what are you waiting for?”

Su Mo shouted loudly. Sword momentum was bursting out of his body. With the glow of sword radiance, he sent several dozen streams of sword Qi toward the Red Anaconda.

The Red Anaconda gaped and shot out a thick water stream from its mouth. The water stream was overpowering and destroyed all the streams of sword Qi.

Only then, the water stream fell apart into a shower and fell into the river.

“Die!”

Su Mo did not retreat even though his attacks were destroyed by the Red Anaconda in an instant. He dashed toward it with lightning speed instead.

Meanwhile, Xiao Qingfeng did not move after hearing Su Mo’s words. He waited briefly for the fight to become inseparable, before bolting toward the Acupores-smoothing Rainbow Lotus.

He was not the only one. In an instant, dozens of people moved toward the Acupores-smoothing Rainbow Lotus as well.

It was their best chance since Su Mo was stalling the Red Anaconda.

“Hehe! Don’t even think about getting the Acupores-smoothing Rainbow Lotus before me!” Xiao Qingfeng laughed and said.

His body suddenly turned into a roaring wind that was faster than everyone else.

In a few breaths time, Xiao Qingfeng became the first to get close to the Acupores-smoothing Rainbow Lotus.

Roar!

The Red Anaconda roared angrily when it saw Xiao Qingfeng getting close to the Acupores-smoothing Rainbow Lotus. It rose into the air and rushed toward him.

“Die!”

Su Mo’s goal was to stall the Red Anaconda. There was no way he would allow it to attack Xiao Qingfeng.

The lake water beneath Su Mo exploded with a turmoil of genuine Qi. He flew into the air and slashed at its back with a dazzling ray of sword radiance.

“Amazing Chopping Technique of Wind Devil!”

The ray of sword radiance was dozens of meters long and sharp as a razor. It struck on the Red Anaconda’s back mercilessly.

Boom!

With a loud bang, the ray of sword radiance shattered a big piece of scale on its back.

The Red Anaconda was more than 100 meters long and weighed thousands of kilograms. Yet, Su Mo’s enormous power bashed it into the lake and created a huge wave.

At the next moment, a loud roar was heard from beneath the lake’s surface. Shortly afterward, a giant water stream shot out from the lake toward Su Mo.

At the same time, Xiao Qingfeng was already before the Acupores-smoothing Rainbow Lotus. He reached out and took the lotus into his hand.

Xiao Qingfeng then bolted toward the other side of the lake without a pause.

“Haha! Su Mo, enjoy the strength of the Red Anaconda!”

Xiao Qingfeng’s laughter was heard. Then, he got away from the lake hastily.

Xiao Qingfeng was leaving and keeping all the nine lotus seeds for himself.

“Xiao Qingfeng, you must be tired of living!”

Su Mo shouted coldly and struck at the water stream.

The tremendous demonic power in the water stream sent Su Mo flying backward again. Su Mo then took advantage of the momentum and chased after Xiao Qingfeng.

Su Mo was not surprised that Xiao Qingfeng wanted to keep the Acupores-smoothing Rainbow Lotus for himself. He did not trust Xiao Qingfeng completely.

After all, it was the first time that they met each other.

However, Su Mo was confident in himself. He was certain that he could take the Acupores-smoothing Rainbow Lotus back.

Quick as lightning, Su Mo chased after Xiao Qingfeng with extreme speed.

Roar!

The lake water tumbled as the Red Anaconda flew out of the water again. Its gigantic eyes were beaming with murderous intent.

Whoos.h.!.+

It flew into the air and chased after Su Mo and Xiao Qingfeng.

In just a few breaths time, the three of them disappeared from everyone’s sight.

The crowd sighed. With Su Mo and Xiao Qingfeng around, they had no chance of getting the Acupores-smoothing Rainbow Lotus.

Shortly afterward, they left.

The news of the incident that had taken place here, along with Su Mo’s overpowering combat strength, was spread by the crowd.
