“Being a guru is like crossing a chasm. Some people can manage to do it naturally while some can’t cross it in their whole lives.”
Fang Qiu shook his head, looked at the old man lying in front of him, and said in a low voice, “It’s the most painful thing to be stubborn! Sometimes, you can be reborn if you let it go, but who can do that? Alas!”
As for Fang Qiu, the old man was the most powerful person he had ever met, and he was only a step away from becoming a guru.
Even in Huaxia, this kind of strength could intimidate people in a region!
It was a pity. Becoming a guru was not the only approach to acquire all the beautiful and happy things in the world. Unfortunately, some people in the martial arts world failed to understand it.
He sighed lightly.
Fang Qiu flashed and immediately chased in the direction of Ruan Changhong’s escape.
This man was the cause of this matter!
Although Ruan Changhong’s running speed was fast, Fang Qiu was even faster in pursuit.
While he was chasing, Fang Qiu directly unleashed his Divine Consciousness to investigate the situation within 20 kilometers.
In an instant, he detected Ruan Changhong’s energy aura 20 kilometers away in an endless mountain range, so he immediately chased after him.
Under the detection of his Divine Consciousness, Fang Qiu could clearly see that Ruan Changhong was running toward the depths of the mountain range.
When he caught up, Ruan Changhong just arrived at the mountainside of a high mountain.
“Where are you going?” Suddenly, Fang Qiu’s voice sounded.
Ruan Changhong’s expression changed, and he immediately turned around.
John Doe had already caught up with him. He was flying in the air, looking down at him!
Ruan Changhong’s legs went limp as he saw that.
When he left, he clearly felt the excitement and madness of his master as if he would never stop until he defeated John Doe!
But now John Doe caught up with him.
What did this mean?
Did it mean that his master had been defeated or even dead?
Thinking of this, Ruan Changhong couldn’t help but feel even more terrified!
Without hesitation, he turned around and ran away.
He ran all the way down the mountain.
Fang Qiu followed closely behind.
As he saw John Doe getting closer and closer to him, the fear in Ruan Changhong’s heart was gradually amplified.
He madly sped up, trying to stay far away from Fang Qiu.
When he ran to the foot of the mountain and saw the huge valley in front of him, the panic on his face suddenly eased a lot and he continued to rush into the valley.
When Ruan Changhong arrived in the valley, he suddenly stopped, turned his head, and sneered at Fang Qiu who had landed on the ground.
“Whistle…” Just as Fang Qiu chased into the valley, Ruan Changhong instantly whistled.
As the whistle sounded, a group of people immediately came out from all directions in the woods around the valley. All of them walked to Ruan Changhong with grim expressions, staring coldly at Fang Qiu who was standing at the entrance of the valley.
“Hmm?” Looking at these people, Fang Qiu let out a cry of surprise.
Then, he took a careful look and found that none of them was lower than the sixth class. This was simply a team of Martial Superiors.
In the middle of the valley, Ruan Changhong, who had people backing him up, was no longer as panicked as before. Instead, he looked at Fang Qiu smugly.
In fact, this was his backup plan!
However, this was not really a backup plan. He knew his master’s situation, so when he decided to turn to his master for help at the beginning, he thought about what he should do if his master did not agree to help.
That was why he contacted these people in advance and asked them to ambush here. If his master didn’t help him, he would lure John Doe here.
He just had never expected John Doe to be so powerful.
Not only was John Doe more powerful than he had expected, but he also defeated his master!
This additional preparation had actually become a means of saving his life.
Looking at Fang Qiu, Ruan Changhong said coldly, “John Doe! If you leave now, I can let bygones be bygones. I can pretend that nothing has happened, and we will never have anything to do with each other from now on!”
Although his tone was cold, Ruan Changhong was obviously afraid judged by his words.
He didn’t have the courage to be the mortal enemy of a man who had defeated his master.
Facing a guru-level expert, people would certainly be intimidated.
Fang Qiu said with a sneer, “Have nothing to do with each other? Sure. Just let these killers kill you! Then I’ll drop it.”
Ruan Changhong’s face changed. He roared while being anxious, “You! John Doe, don’t be so shameless. Do you think you’re so powerful just because you’re a guru?”
“A guru?” The crowd was shocked and a hint of horror flashed across their eyes.
All of them looked at John Doe in complete shock.
“Guru?”
“This man turned out to be a guru?”
“No way, he’s too young. How can he be a guru?”
“Ruo Changhong, did you say that he was a guru? You’re not lying to us, are you?”
They could no longer remain aloof and asked Ruan Changhong.
Ruan Changhong took a deep breath and nodded with certainty. “That’s right. He is indeed a guru, and he fought with my master just now. There is only one possibility since he catches up with me!”
Everyone was even more shocked.
They all knew Ruan Changhong’s master.
He was the top expert in the martial arts world of Southern Yue and the legend in Wulin of the Southeast Region!
Was he defeated?
Moreover, he was defeated by this young man from Huaxia.
Ruan Changhong said loudly, “Guys, you need to think it through. If this person lives, he will definitely be a threat to Southern Yue. We can’t leave him alive!”
Hearing this, everyone couldn’t help but ponder and hesitate.
Looking at everyone who was lost in thought, Fang Qiu shook his head indifferently and said to the people around Ruan Changhong, “This is between me and him. I don’t want to get others involved. You guys can leave.”
Everyone really wanted to leave as they heard that.
After all, the legendary guru was terrifying.
Although each of them had great strength, compared with a guru, they were nothing. Even if there were more than 20 people, they might not be a match for a guru.
There was no need to get involved in this mess, which had nothing to do with themselves.
For a moment, everyone wanted to leave.
Seeing that they wanted to leave, Ruan Changhong was flustered. If this group of people left, he would be dead.
Therefore, he shouted loudly, “John Doe, are you afraid? Don’t be scared by him!”
Looking at the people around him, Ruan Changhong shouted. “He had a big fight with my master just now. Even if he really defeated my master, he might be injured himself. You know my master’s power. Even if he won, he must be seriously injured! So, this is the best time to kill him!”
As people heard this, they thought that he was right.
Everyone knew how powerful Ruan Changhong’s master was.
They believed that his master was invincible when encountering anyone below the guru level. Even if he fought with a guru with average strength, he would definitely be able to compete, let alone this young guru in front of them. It was impossible for this young man not to be injured!
But the problem was that they didn’t seem to gain any benefits if they attacked John Doe.
There was no benefit at all. Instead, they would end up putting themselves in danger, which was not worth it at all!
Noticing that everyone was still hesitating, Ruan Changhong knew that his powers of persuasion were not enough.
He immediately added, “Don’t hesitate, everyone. If we let him go this time, there won’t be such a rare opportunity next time. We are all people in the martial arts world. Don’t you want to know how he became a guru?”
Everyone was stunned. “Become a guru?”
Ruan Changhong continued, “He is seriously injured now. As long as we catch him and force him to tell us how to become a guru, it’s just a matter of time before we become a guru!”
As they heard that, everyone’s eyes lit up.
That was true.
The purpose of everyone’s cultivation was to gain powerful strength.
Being a guru was everyone’s dream, even the dream of the entire martial arts world in Southern Yue for hundreds of years!
With such a great opportunity to become a guru, how could they not seize it?
For a moment, all the eyes fixed on Fang Qiu were shining with excitement. They were ready to make a move.
Observing these people’s expressions, Fang Qiu figured what they were thinking and soon shook his head helplessly.
He wanted to let go of these innocent people, but these people were unwilling to let him do that!
Fang Qiu shook his head and sighed. “The pursuit of self-interest may draw people in, so it can wedge them apart. People die for money while birds die for food. That’s true.”
“Let’s go together and catch him now!” Ruan Changhong shouted.
In order to become a guru, these people completely lost their minds.
All of them swarmed up and burst out powerful momentum, rushing toward Fang Qiu!
The one at the forefront was a seventh-class Martial Superior with three opened meridians.
“Bang!” Just as he was about to punch Fang Qiu with unstoppable momentum, Fang Qiu punched with his right hand.
A gust of huge power burst out and directly sent him flying.
All the people who had rushed to him were so scared that they stopped abruptly. They stared at Fang Qiu with shock in their eyes!
With only one punch, he threw away a seventh-class Martial Superior with three opened meridians, who didn’t even have a chance to react. It was simply terrifying.
Looking at this group of people, Fang Qiu pointed to Ruan Changhong and said, “Last warning. This is between him and me. You’d better not get involved in this. I don’t want to hurt innocent people!”
These people, who had been hesitating, did not falter when they heard this.
They were all blinded by the secret of being a guru and confined in this thought.
The more he persuaded them to leave, the more they felt that John Doe must be injured and that he must be seriously injured.
Otherwise, why would a guru be so indecisive and persuade them continuously?
A warrior shouted. “He’s scared!”
“Yes, he’s scared.”
“He must have been seriously injured, and that move must have taken him a lot of effort.”
“Let’s go together!”
As several people were shouting, more than 20 people suddenly burst out again and attacked Fang Qiu.
“In that case, don’t blame me for being cruel!” Seeing that these people were still stubborn, Fang Qiu was speechless and took out the broken swords he brought from the island.
“I want to see how strong this move is after the enlightenment!”
When everyone was charging to him, he immediately mobilized all the internal Qi in his body and poured it into the broken sword.
Meanwhile, the Qi of Heaven and Earth violently gathered from all directions and condensed on the sword.
Then, he waved his right hand.
“Space-splitting Sea-cracking Sword!” The vast Qi of Heaven and Earth filled the broken sword and cast it into a long silver sword.
With a wave of his hand, a gust of silver Sword Qi which was shaped like a half-moon burst out in an instant like a tide in a tsunami, rushing toward over 20 people who were coming at him.
“Clang!” At the next moment, the thump of the sword rang out.
The sword Qi swept over them.
Everyone froze in front of Fang Qiu. The remaining Sword Qi in the air suddenly surged and swept up. Before these people had time to react, their clothes were tattered in unison, and their skin seemed to have been cut by an incomparably powerful strike. Blood was oozing out.
