Fang Qiu won!
“Boom…” An earth-shattering noise sounded on the top of Zhongnan Mountain.
The earth was shaking frighteningly.
The air was filled with a destructive aura, causing everyone to feel alarmed.
“Woo…” A few seconds later, a gust of wind howled in the mountain.
In the sky, the huge impact wave of energy caused by the terrifying collision was also swept away by the mountain wind. The astral energy of the sword that filled the sky also quietly dispersed little by little.
As the energy in the sky dispersed, Lin Rusheng’s body reappeared in front of everyone.
Under the impact of the silver light, Lin Rusheng’s body was like an arrow shot from a bow. Driven by an enormous force, he fell from the sky and hit the ground heavily.
“Puff…” The moment he landed, Lin Rusheng’s face turned pale and he spurted a mouthful of blood.
Then, he covered his chest with his hand in pain, struggled to stand up, and stared at Fang Qiu.
At this moment, time seemed to have stood still in this space.
Everyone around them was dumbfounded.
“John, John Doe won?”
“Ah… John Doe won.”
“What? John Doe actually won?”
“John Doe actually beat Lin Rusheng? Did he beat Lin Rusheng?”
“How is this possible?”
“A man who has just shown up in Wulin for two years actually beat a super expert who was only one step away from the Guru Realm ten years ago? This is not true! It can’t be!!”
“John Doe is so powerful!”
“He’s remarkable. Even Lin Rusheng lost to him.”
“Oh my God, John Doe actually beat Lin Rusheng. Give a slap right now. Am I dreaming?”
“Awesome. John Doe is indeed the No.1 expert below the level of guru now!”
“He’s not only the top one among the younger generation, but even beat the super expert of the older generation. How could John Doe be so powerful?”
All kinds of exclamations could be heard from all directions.
Lin Rusheng took a deep breath and slowly closed his eyes when he heard a lot of discussions from people who were shocked by John Doe’s great victory. After a while, he opened his eyes and said, “I lost.”
It was two simple words.
The moment Lin Rusheng said it, everyone present was astonished.
Although they all knew that John Doe had won, hearing Lin Rusheng admitting defeat shocked them the most.
Such a senior figure and super expert actually admitted defeat to John Doe!
“Haha…” After Lin Rusheng admitted defeat, his body quivered.
His eyes lit up with excitement.
Under everyone’s gaze, he suddenly raised his head and laughed heartily.
He laughed so hard that everyone was baffled.
Had he lost his mind because of losing the battle?
Only the four patriarchs narrowed their eyes.
Could it be…
Lin Rusheng stopped laughing, held a fist salute to Fang Qiu, and said, “Thank you! I finally found it! I’m going back to cultivate in seclusion!”
He turned and left after that.
His friends that had come to watch the battle came forward successively to escort him away.
“I didn’t expect that he would still be able to find it in the end.” At the peak of the mountain in the distance, Patriarch Qian smiled slightly and said with emotion, “It seems that there will be one more guru in Huaxia Wulin!”
Xi Fengling said, “Although I don’t know if he really found the way, the chance of success has obviously increased greatly. Next, it depends on when he comes out of seclusion.”
“Haha, Mingchuan, I’ve told you. Lin Rusheng is better,” Elder Zhan laughed smugly.
Diwu Mingchuan asked with a smile, “Do you really think that he is better than John Doe?”
“Uh, well…” Elder Zhan hesitated.
It seemed that except for finding the way to Guru Realm, Lin Rusheng was not better than John Doe.
“Haha…” Elder Zhan’s hesitation instantly caused everyone to laugh heartily.
On the top of Zhongnan Mountain, the great battle came to an end, and Lin Rusheng left in defeat.
Everyone present was still in a state of shock.
People should have dispersed since the grand event had ended, but the strange thing was that none of the onlookers left.
Everyone was well aware of this.
This battle was not only about John Doe and Lin Rusheng.
More importantly, everyone was eager to see how John Doe was going to break away from the encirclement!
Before this battle, John Doe had just exchanged ten Guru Swords for the clue of Ambergris Grass, the Heaven Treasure ranked 8th. There were still two days left before the Ambergris Grass was ripe.
In addition, John Doe’s state would be greatly weakened after the great battle with Lin Rusheng. This was undoubtedly the best time for people with ulterior motives to make a move.
Everyone believed that someone would definitely attack John Doe after this battle because it was highly likely that the Ambergris Grass could make someone a guru. This was immensely tempting to a medium-sized force. Once a second-rate force had a guru to support it, it could become a first-rate force in one fell swoop!
This enhancement in strength as a whole was extremely attractive to all second-rate forces!
No one left.
Fang Qiu did not leave either.
Instead, he stood there with his eyes closed.
In the previous battle, when confronted with Lin Risheng’s tremendous pressure in the beginning, Fang Qiu used that pressure to drive himself to forcibly increase his strength to the peak at that time, and he stopped just one step away from reaching Completion. He was afraid that he wasn’t able to suppress the breakthrough.
However, after the collision of the last three strikes, Fang Qiu quietly passed the last stage without noticing it at all.
He now reached the Completion of the eighth class with two opened meridians.
As the battle ended, the meridians in his body started to surge, and the sense of breakthrough came over him fiercely.
It was because of the sudden sense of breakthrough that Fang Qiu chose to stand where he was, motionlessly suppressing the violent internal Qi that was about to rush to the next meridian in his body.
Fortunately, the enhancement came at the right time. The internal Qi in his meridians was not so violent that it was difficult for him to suppress.
Even so, after suppressing his internal Qi, Fang Qiu secretly calculated and found that he could only hold it for three days at most.
Three days was just enough.
However, there was one thing that had to be done.
He must obtain the Ambergris Grass!
Otherwise, three days later, Fang Qiu could even predict that his meridians would explode. Even if he didn’t die, he would be disabled!
No matter what, he couldn’t allow the Ambergris Grass to be taken by others!
As he thought of this, Fang Qiu hurriedly opened his eyes after successfully suppressing the surging internal Qi in his meridians and found that everyone around was still recollecting the battle just now. He immediately held a fist salute to everyone.
“Guys, this matter is over. So long!”
After saying that, Fang Qiu turned around and was about to leave.
“Wait!” But right at this moment, the voice of a man and a woman sounded at the same time.
Fang Qiu stopped.
He was quite familiar with these two voices. The male voice came from Yun Yangzi, while the female voice came from Diwu Qian!
“What’s the matter?” asked Fang Qiu, looking at the two of them.
“Mr. John Doe,” Yun Yangzi stepped forward, glanced at the people around him, and said, “I’ll be frank with you. At this moment, you have big news that can cause disputes in Wulin. Besides, you have just finished a great battle. If you leave now, I’m afraid that you will be targeted by some people with bad intentions. Why don’t you stay here and I guard you for a night?”
“I’m thinking the same thing too.” Diwu Qian nodded in agreement.
“Who dares to lay a finger on my master?” Suddenly, a loud shout was heard.
He Gaoming rushed over with more than 30 people and surrounded Fang Qiu, glaring at the people around him fiercely.
“Thank you.” At the center of the crowd, Fang Qiu held a fist salute to Yun Yangzi and Diwu Qian and expressed his gratitude sincerely.
Then he turned his head and glanced at the dense crowd around him.
“If I want to leave, no one can stop me!” Fang Qiu said blandly.
“How aggressive!” Yun Yangzi immediately praised him, then turned to everyone and said, “Whoever dares to hurt John Doe tonight is making an enemy of me!”
Diwu Qian also immediately declared, “Me too! Whoever dares to hurt John Doe tonight will be my enemy!”
As soon as these two made a statement, everyone around was surprised.
No one expected that.
It was truly unexpected that Yun Yangzi and Diwu Qian were actually standing by John Doe’s side.
In the distance, the four patriarchs were also stunned.
Patriarch Qian, Elder Zhan, and Xi Fengling looked at Diwu Mingchuan in confusion at the same time.
In the distance, Diwu Mingchuan immediately shook his head and frowned slightly.
However, the other three patriarchs obviously didn’t believe it.
“Do you represent the forces behind you?” At this moment, on the top of Zhongnan Mountain, an old man’s voice suddenly sounded.
Diwu Qian answered, “I represent myself!”
“Yes, it doesn’t have anything to do with our forces.” Yun Yangzi immediately replied, “Just come if you want to do anything. Please show yourself!”
Hearing that, all the people present were shocked.
According to what he said, it seemed that there was really someone who dared to attack John Doe.
Although Yun Yangzi and Diwu Qian did not represent the two powerful forces, Pear Garden and Diwu family, ordinary people could afford to offend them considering these two people’s strength. With John Doe here, all the top experts of the younger generation in Wulin were here.
Most importantly, although Diwu Qian and Yun Yangzi only represented themselves, they could not be hurt. If anyone dared to hurt them, it would no longer be a personal matter. It was certain that the forces behind them would definitely intervene.
As they heard the old man’s voice, the four patriarchs frowned.
Meanwhile, the four of them all thought of the same person.
It was a man who had always wanted to become a guru but never managed to do that!
As they recalled, the last time the four patriarchs had seen this person was 30 years ago. For the past 30 years, they had thought that he had passed away, but they didn’t expect that he was still alive!
“He’s actually still alive?” Diwu Mingchuan’s face darkened. He seemed to be worried about Diwu Qian’s safety.
“Mo Yilang!” Elder Zhan’s eyes narrowed and told this man’s name.
Mo Yilang was a member of the Mo family in Wulin.
The Mo family could be considered as a medium-sized clan in Wulin. There were 500 disciples in their clan and less than 50 experts were above the sixth class. Among the medium-sized clans in Wulin, this kind of scale could be regarded as average. Mo Yilang was the biggest reliance of the Mo family, which was also the benchmark for the Mo family to become a medium-sized clan!
As Diwu Qian and Yun Yangzi finished speaking in the field, there was a sudden commotion in the crowd.
They saw that the dense crowd suddenly parted and made way for somebody.
At this moment, a bent old man with a wrinkled face slowly walked out with a walking stick.
“Kids from Pear Garden and the Diwu family, you can leave now.” Walking into the field, the old man gently waved at Yun Yangzi and Diwu Qian.
