Chapter 1369 Fight to the Death!
“Tell him I accept his challenge and will fight to the death!”
Fang Qiu exploded with rage.
He didn’t expect that such a thing would happen!
How could the other party go to attack Sword Fanatic?
While he felt shocked and angry, Fang Qiu felt a little lucky. Fortunately, he found the Zengzi relic for He Gaoming and the others to cultivate in seclusion.
If not…
The person who issued the challenge would choose to attack these brothers than Sword Fanatic.
In that case, the thirty more brothers might have been killed!
However…
The man targeted Sword Fanatic. It strongly demonstrated that he had carefully investigated John Doe. Knowing John Doe had kept in contact with Sword Fanatic, he came at Sword Fanatic. In this way, he forced John Doe to take his challenge seriously!
After their fight, John Doe became familiar with Sword Fanatic. Then, on many important occasions, Sword Fanatic attended and repeatedly told John Doe not to call him senior but big brother.
As soon as John Doe called him big brother, their relationship became special.
Although they rarely met each other…
But in terms of martial arts, John Doe and Sword Fanatic particularly admired each other.
In addition, the other party took the initiative to attack Sword Fanatic because they wanted to make trouble for John Doe. It made Fang Qiu feel very guilty.
His affairs implicated Sword Fanatic, whose kung fu was hence utterly destroyed. The tragic consequence greatly distressed Fang Qiu. His fury flew like a river!
“Woosh.”
After leaving some instructions to He Gaoming, Fang Qiu postured and rushed straight out of the relic.
“The oldest, where are you going?”
When He Gaoming saw this, he asked loudly in a hurry.
“I’m going to save Sword Fanatic!”
After saying that, Fang Qiu left.
In the ruin…
The brothers all clenched their fists tightly.
They respected John Doe’s friends. When John Doe helped them hold the auction of Heaven Dew, he and Sword Fanatic called each other brothers. At that time, Sword Fanatic left these brothers a good impression.
They didn’t spend much time with Sword Fanatic, but they felt terrible when Sword Fanatic was so bitterly beaten.
“The oldest, kill him!”
In the crowd, a brother shouted.
“Yes, kill him.”
“Damned bastard!”
Everyone began to vent their anger in a rage.
Since John Doe regarded Sword Fanatic as his big brother, he would avenge him. All the brothers here were sure about that.
He would avenge his brother’s sufferings!
Fang Qiu left.
Hearing the furious shouts from brothers, He Gaoming immediately took out his mobile phone and logged onto the Wulin online forum with John Doe’s account.
“Fight! I won’t fight to the death. You decide the time and place!”
He Gaoming decisively edited a new post and sent it out.
There were no other words except for a title!
As soon as the post was released…
It immediately attracted the attention of countless people.
At first glance…
These Wulin people were all shocked when seeing the title!
“Fight to the death?”
“John Doe finally replied.”
“Fuck, the guy challenging John Doe will be doomed. I’ve never seen John Doe being so angry.”
“Every time John Doe accepted a challenge, he would not seriously hurt anyone. Even when he was in a fury and had to be tough, he would only choose to ruin his opponent’s kung fu instead of killing. But this time, John Doe said he would fight to the death. It seems he is in a thundering rage!”
“John Doe is worthy of his reputation. People in Jianghu all know John Doe values friendship. For his brothers, he was said to have broken into the major sects and even destroyed them. Now it seems John Doe puts a high valuation on attachments and righteousness. This time, he never hesitated to take up the cudgels for the injured Sword Fanatic. If his brothers were beaten, what devastating things would he do?”
“Sword Fanatic and John Doe call each other brothers, though they are not connected by blood. Masters in Wulin know Sword Fanatic and John Doe always stand up for each other. In my opinion, the person who challenged John Doe must have learned about their relationship. Thus, he took the initiative to find and defeat Sword Fanatic. However, I wonder if he had ever thought John Doe would go berserk due to his outrageous act!”
“Sword Fanatic in the Half-step Guru Realm is a master of swordsmanship. His super combat capability is equal to that of a guru. Who on earth is the silver-haired man attacking him? Under his blows, Sword Fanatic suffered a disastrous defeat and even lost his kung fu. How could anyone be capable of doing all that much?”
“Seemingly, another earth-shattering battle in Wulin is on the way. Since this person effortlessly smashed Sword Fanatic, his strength should not be inferior to John Doe’s or even much stronger. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have dared to challenge John Doe so openly!”
On the Wulin online forum…
Everyone burst into an uproar.
They were taken aback by John Doe’s anger and his strong sense of obligation to friends!
He knew this opponent was an exceedingly powerful expert, but still, he announced he would fight to the death. In the entire Wulin, John Doe was probably the only one who could do that.
At the same time…
While people were discussing heatedly on the Wulin online forum…
The four great families and Pear Garden received the news in the first place.
In the Xi family…
“What? Sword Fanatic was disabled?”
Xi Fengling was fiddling with the prayer beads. Abruptly, her hands trembled, and her eyebrows were arched. Looking at Xi Shaolin, who had come to deliver the message, she asked, “Who did it?”
“A silver-haired man. He looks very young, but his attacks are extremely ruthless.”
Xi Shaolin continued, “As for his identity, we haven’t yet found it. It seems this person doesn’t exist in Wulin at all. He came out of nowhere like John Doe.”
“Tell me again: how many moves did he use to end the battle with Sword Fanatic?”
Xi Fengling asked again.
“He took one below from Sword Fanatic and fought back two times. There were a total of three moves.”
Xi Shaolin said, “Surely, this silver-haired man is a guru!”
“But even a guru can’t destroy Sword Fanatic so easily. His rival is a nobody but Sword Fanatic!”
Xi Fengling frowned deeply, her eyes filled with worry that had not appeared for a long time.
…
In the Qian family of the capital…
“Have you discovered the origin of the silver-haired man?”
Patriarch Qian was also very concerned about this matter. Right after he saw the video, he sent someone to investigate it because he was eager to know where the silver-haired man came from. He couldn’t help wondering if he came from the same place as Qingshan.
“We couldn’t find it.”
His subordinate immediately shook his head and replied, “This silver-haired man has never appeared in Wulin before. Judging from the situation in the video, I think he must have mighty strength and high status. After all, he had a servant at the guru level following him and recording his battle.”
“He is indeed a guru.”
With a nod, Patriarch Qian said, “At such a close distance, no other people than gurus can withstand the energy Qi from these two people’s violent attacks. Besides, the video he recorded looks so stable. Only a guru could do all of this!”
At this point…
Patriarch Qian took a deep breath and murmured, “A mighty master with high status, who on earth is he?”
…
In the Zhan family…
“Sword Fanatic was knocked down. Would the next one be John Doe?”
Elder Zhan lay on the bamboo mat, rolling his eyes, and whispered, “Although John Doe is very famous, he has never done anything bad in Wulin. As soon as the person appeared in public, he aimed at John Doe and threatened him in such a brutal way.”
“Looks like this kid is in trouble!”
…
In the Diwu Great Family of Nanjiang…
“Dad.”
“John Doe accepted this challenge. What do you think of the outcome of this battle?” In the hall of the manor, Diwu Qian asked with her serious eyes on her father, Diwu Mingchuan. A few days ago, she had just upgraded to the Half-step Guru Realm.
“Hard to say.”
Diwu Mingchuan shook his head and said, “This person looked overwhelmingly powerful in the video. Sword Fanatic is a genius. Though he is not a guru, his strength might not be better than a guru’s. Even if I go all out, it will be difficult for me to defeat him in three moves, let alone directly destroy him.”
“This way, I can see that the silver-haired man in the video is stronger than me!”
After he said that…
Diwu Qian narrowed her eyes and asked, “More powerful than you?”
“Mm.”
Diwu Mingchuan nodded affirmatively and said, “Unless Sword Fanatic was plotted against or poisoned before the video was shot, no ordinary guru could compare strength with this silver-haired man!”
“According to what you said, John Doe…”
Diwu Qian frowned.
“It’s impossible to guess the result with just this information.”
Diwu Mingchuan shook his head and sighed with emotion. “The Wulin has only stayed in peace for decades. But before we know it, drastic changes might have taken place!”
…
In the Pear Garden…
Yun Yangzi had broken through and officially became a guru. When Master Numinous was instructing him, a servant came to report the news: Sword Fanatic was utterly wrecked, and John Doe accepted the challenge.
Together, the master and disciple watched the video of Sword Fanatic being ruined.
“Master.”
After finishing it, Yun Yangzi said, “This silver-haired man’s strength is above mine. I’m no match for him.”
“Mm.”
Master Numinous nodded and said, “With your current strength, it would be a good result if you could draw with Sword Fanatic. His combat capability is far better than that of an ordinary guru.”
“Then, who do you think is stronger, John Doe or him?”
Yun Yangzi asked.
“It’s hard to say.”
Master Numinous shook his head and said, “John Doe is like a deep, bottomless pool, while this silver-haired man is like an ice cave. We haven’t reached the bottom of the pool or explored the cave, so the two remain mysterious. It’s hard to guess who will win.”
Soon…
The Pear Garden’s deputy chief came to report.
All the major forces in Wulin had launched investigations on the silver-haired man, but no clue was discovered. They didn’t even know who he was!
Master Numinous and Yun Yangzi frowned at the news.
Of course…
Besides these Wulin people…
Li Ji was also investigating the silver-haired man. Like others, he was also anxious to know who he was. Such a powerful master suddenly appeared in Wulin. In addition, as soon as he appeared, he went straight to find trouble with John Doe!
Here…
People all over Wulin were trying their best to uncover the silver-haired man’s background. In the meantime, Fang Qiu had already arrived at Nanjiang’s Spring City Airport.
This world…
In Nanjiang, it had rained heavily for days.
He took a taxi out of the city and came to a deserted forest. Being drenched in the heavy rain, Fang Qiu felt even heavier in his heart. As he rushed to the Hundred Thousand Mountains, he was distraught.
Sword Fanatic was seriously injured. If the mysterious man had not taken him away, he would have been left to seek survival alone in the Hundred Thousand Mountains. Then, in a few days, various poisonous insects in the Hundred Thousand Mountains would gnaw at Sword Fanatic, leaving only bones.
Therefore, Fang Qiu didn’t dare to hesitate at all. He had to move at full speed and find Sword Fanatic as soon as possible!
