On the battle platform.
Su Mo stared intently at Huo Ling without the slightest hint of contempt. Though Huo Ling had lost to the Ninth Princess, there was no doubting his formidable strength.
Huo Ling's face was icy. Losing to the Ninth Princess had filled him with humiliation.
In the battles to come, he would not allow himself to lose again.
"You defeated Han Qianze, so your strength is indeed not weak. I will not hold back. If you are injured, blame only your own lack of skill!"
Saber Intent filled Huo Ling's body. Its sharp aura shredded the air around him into fragments as First Rank Paragon Saber Intent was fully unleashed.
"I'll be taking your Dragon Fortune."
Su Mo spoke blandly. At the same time, Sword Intent surged skyward from his body, standing toe-to-toe against Huo Ling.
"What? Late First Rank peak Sword Intent!"
"So Su Mo's Sword Intent has already reached the Late First Rank peak, not the Mid First Rank!"
"This Sword Intent is already infinitely close to First Rank Paragon. It is not much weaker than Wusheng's Sword Intent!"
The spectators erupted as they sensed the Sword Intent blooming from Su Mo.
So, even now, Su Mo had still been concealing his strength.
"Even if your Sword Intent is at the Late First Rank peak, you will still lose!"
Huo Ling shouted coldly and abruptly swung his saber. A terrifying crimson saber radiance, carrying surging waves of heat, slaughtered its way toward Su Mo.
Huo Ling's Saber Intent was naturally Fire Saber Intent, greatly increasing the power of his Fire-element Martial Arts.
Clang!
Drawing his sword, Su Mo likewise sent out a streak of Sword Qi, striking Huo Ling's saber radiance with perfect accuracy. Sword Qi and saber radiance instantly exploded and annihilated each other.
