Chapter 1273 Fight Against Sixth Venerable and Eighth Venerable
On the canopy of the large breadfruit tree…
Fang Qiu stood against the wind and stared coldly at Sixth Venerable and Eighth Venerable who had chased after him at lightning speed!
Some distance away…
When Sixth Venerable and Eighth Venerable saw John Doe jump out of the truck and stand on the breadfruit tree, sharp killing intent erupted from their bloodshot eyes.
They didn’t mean to stop at all. Instead, they went all out and rushed madly toward Fang Qiu like a meteorite headed toward the Earth. They violently brandished the long machetes and slashed at Fang Qiu’s head, which brought about beams of exceedingly fierce sword Qi.
They were more than ten meters away.
Yet, terrifying energy Qi erupted from their machetes. One was red, and the other was black. With two claps of muffled thunder, the two huge blades formed by energy slashed down from two directions!
The two frenzied enemies dashed toward Fang Qiu.
“Woosh.”
Fang Qiu flashed aside to dodge their attacks.
Sixth Venerable and Eighth Venerable’s strikes missed their target, and they couldn’t help but dash behind Fang Qiu in an instant because they could not stop in time.
“Why did you do that?”
Fang Qiu turned around, his eyes riveted on the two figures ready to launch another horrific attack, and asked, “Why did you deliberately create the Ebala virus? Why did you spread the virus?”
They heard Fang Qiu’s question…
“Humph.”
Sixth Venerable snorted indifferently. He ignored Fang Qiu’s inquiry, waved his machete and resumed his attack.
“Why?”
Unlike Sixth Venerable, Eighth Venerable was slightly stunned after he heard Fang Qiu’s question. Then, he chuckled viciously and said, “Isn’t the answer clear enough? These people are living in purgatory. Their lives are completely cut off from the modern world. They worry about food and have to endure hunger. They do not even have clean water to drink. Living in the depths of the grassland, they can’t even see any other people. This kind of life is a living hell for them. They’ve sunk deep into the abyss of suffering!”
“Can’t you feel it?”
At this point…
Eighth Venerable shifted and also plunged into their battle against Fang Qiu.
Right now…
Sixth Venerable had already rushed up to Fang Qiu. Once again, he brought down the long machete and slashed furiously at Fang Qiu’s head.
This time, Fang Qiu no longer evaded the attack.
“Swish.”
He clenched his right hand, and the moment the Divine Sword formed, he waved it to block the blow.
“Pow!”
A crisp sound was heard.
The machete and the sword collided head-on. In the clash, the immense energy of their weapons instantly activated a layer of intense energy Qi, which rippled rapidly in all directions.
In the face of the explosive wave of energy Qi, Eighth Venerable stopped before he struck out.
The second he stopped…
“Whoosh.”
Fang Qiu took advantage of the power and quickly withdrew.
With a sword in his right hand and his left hand behind his back, he secretly activated the Great Hand of Destruction to attract the Qi of Heaven and Earth within 50 kilometers!
“A living hell?”
After Fang Qiu retreated, he observed his two enemies with great vigilance and continued, “But that is the life they want. They can live at will and enjoy full freedom. I can’t deny that some of them may be dissatisfied with their lives. But even so, you can also help them live a better life. With your strength, you can grant them a better standard of living. But why did you not do that?”
Fang Qiu tossed out another question.
Sixth Venerable and Eighth Venerable, who were about to attack, were both stunned.
When they heard Fang Qiu’s question, their minds just went blank for a moment.
“Why don’t we help them?”
“Why don’t we use our power to help them live better lives? Why don’t we give them more promising lives?”
The two of them paused.
“What do you know?”
Sixth Venerable eyed Fang Qiu coldly and said in a matter-of-fact voice, “There are too many people who are in pain in the world. How many can we support? There are too many people suffering in this world, so we can only help them get rid of their pain!”
“To support them one by one?”
“We don’t have that much time!”
When Sixth Venerable mentioned this…
“That’s right,”
Eighth Venerable chimed in, “They are suffering dreadfully, and we can end their painful lives in advance so that they can be re-incarnated as soon as possible. That way, each of them will have a brand new life. Who knows, they might be re-born into better circumstances and need not experience any pain!”
When Fang Qiu heard all of this…
He could no longer suppress the anger in his heart.
“You’re giving yourselves up to evil without restraint!”
Fang Qiu indignantly denounced them, “How do you know they’re in pain? Where have you seen their pain? Even if they live in misery, they have the right to manage their own lives. What right do you have to intervene? If they can’t bear the suffering, they have a hundred, a thousand, or even ten thousand ways to free themselves. Since they don’t choose to do that, they still have hope for their lives. So, you’re not helping them by doing this. On the contrary, you’re ruthlessly extinguishing their last hope!”
“Bullshit!”
Sixth Venerable in a red robe cursed in disdain. With his eyes fixed on Fang Qiu, he said, “They choose to live because they are afraid of death, and they have no guts to kill themselves. So, we had never taken away their lives nor shattered their hopes. We’re releasing these souls from purgatory!”
Upon hearing his explanation…
Fang Qiu’s face became increasingly gloomy.
“These people are being totally unreasonable about it, and each behaves like someone possessed!”
“Shame on you!”
With a roar, Fang Qiu released his unique, unparalleled aura of energy.
He wielded the long sword in his hand.
With an overwhelming stream of Qi power, Fang Qiu turned from passive to active and pounced on Sixth Venerable and Eighth Venerable!
“It seems that you are also living in pain. I’ll set you free today!”
Sixth Venerable sneered.
He lifted the long machete in his hand and immediately rushed straight toward Fang Qiu.
Behind him…
The long machete under the control of Eighth Venerable abruptly shone with a brilliant glow. Like a poisonous snake lurking in the dark for its prey, it aimed at Fang Qiu’s head and cooperated with Sixth Venerable to attack him.
In a short moment…
The three of them collided hard against each other.
In the next second…
“Clap, clap, clap…”
The sounds of swords clashing rang out continuously,
Fang Qiu fought against two people simultaneously and wildly fended off the blows from them.
He had to admit that…
Both his opponents had superior strength. Although Fang Qiu had thrown in his whole might, he couldn’t suppress them in a short time.
Obviously, the two on the other side were also aware of John Doe’s formidable power, so they cooperated well with each other and launched fierce attacks from different angles, as they tried to crush John Doe with their powerful and frequent strikes!
But it turned out that…
Fang Qiu didn’t panic at all.
He still put his left hand behind his back and performed the art of the ancient Swordsmanship to deal with the two.
Fang Qiu could proficiently use Flexibility Secret, Defense Secret, and Combat Secret, which were a set of ancient Swordsmanship moves. While handling the two, Fang Qiu could deftly shift between the three secretive methods.
This way…
No matter how the two assaulted Fang Qiu, he always maintained a relatively stable status. Once he found an opportunity to attack, he would immediately change his sword moves and launch a fierce attack!
Over there…
Sixth Venerable and Eighth Venerable’s faces were grim.
Before this, they had already fought with John Doe once. Because of that battle, they learned how threatening John Doe could be.
However, what they did not expect was…
When they confronted John Doe, they found that he seemed much more potent than they had imagined!
Therefore, they fought with a growing sense of anxiety.
They were fully aware that…
Once they failed to subdue John Doe, killing him would be very difficult.
Fang Qiu had the same idea as they did.
He wanted to finish them off!
He was eager to slaughter these people who couldn’t distinguish right from wrong!
“Buzz, buzz…”
In the fierce battle…
Fang Qiu’s left hand behind his back suddenly began to tremble.
At the same time…
The surrounding Qi of Heaven and Earth suddenly began to churn furiously.
“Hm?”
Feeling the unusual movement of the Qi of Heaven and Earth, Sixth Venerable and Eighth Venerable were startled. Then they quickly looked around to see if there were any other people around them and to find out who had caused the abnormal movement of the Qi of Heaven and Earth.
However, after searching for a long time, they did not find anyone.
Then, they looked at John Doe.
He had been fighting fiercely with them and had no time to play other tricks.
Then, what on earth was going on?
They were secretly worried.
Sixth Venerable and Eighth Venerable were a little flustered, and their attention was diverted by the Qi of Heaven and Earth that suddenly fluctuated in an unusual manner.
Under these circumstances.
In the fierce battle with Fang Qiu, the suppressive abilities of Sixth Venerable and Eighth Venerable had been greatly reduced.
Over at the side…
A faint sneer of satisfaction appeared on Fang Qiu’s face.
That was the effect he wanted!
He believed that he could soon find the flaws of the two absent-minded people. He just needed to grasp the chance after he located their weak points!
As expected…
Because their attention was diverted, small gaps emerged in their continuous suppression of Fang Qiu. After the gaps appeared for dozens of moves, Fang Qiu finally found an opportunity!
“Great Hand of Formlessness!”
When Sixth Venerable executed his attack, Eighth Venerable sent his blow one second later because of his lack of concentration. Fang Qiu’s left hand behind his back abruptly delivered a snap attack. In that second, his palm attack smashed fiercely into Sixth Venerable’s chest.
“Boom!”
A huge impact force suddenly erupted.
As the palm fell, the enormous amount of Qi of Heaven and Earth gathered around Fang Qiu poured into his body, surged wildly through Fang Qiu’s meridians, and erupted from his palm.
This incomparably tremendous stream of Qi of Heaven and Earth swept out instantly like a flash flood breaking through a dam. It ruthlessly charged into Sixth Venerable’s body.
Even Eighth Venerable, who stood by the side, was sent flying by the Qi of Heaven and Earth.
“Ah…”
Sixth Venerable cried out in fear and felt both appalled and astonished.
Under the towering onslaught of the flow of Qi of Heaven and Earth, Sixth Venerable’s body seemed to have been sucked dry instantly, and his chest and abdomen rose and fell a few times.
When the last thread of the Qi of Heaven and Earth penetrated his body, he trembled all over.
After that…
He fell backward to the ground powerlessly with a horrified look on his face!
