“Bang!”

There was a loud noise.

The enormous energy palm collided violently with the other party’s palms, which were shrouded in black fog.

A terrible jolt of energy Qi suddenly emerged from the center of the collision. Wherever the energy Qi passed, towering waves of energy would rise, swallowing all the surrounding glaciers up like a tsunami.

A blast of mighty force hit Fang Qiu, pushing him backward in the air for a few meters before he finally stilled his feet.

The black-robed guru from the Nirvana Organization also couldn’t help but retreat a few steps.

“What?”

“How could a ninth-class cultivator with two opened meridians withstand my fatal blow?”

This unexpected result shocked the guru in black instantly.

He had heard of John Doe’s name, and many people had talked about his surprisingly strong combat capability. However, as a guru, he felt it beneath his dignity to give John Doe any serious consideration. Only gurus knew how insuperable they were. In his eyes, anyone who was not a guru was as negligible as an ant.

But now, John Doe simply withstood his deadly strike.

“How was this possible?

“But he is just a ninth-class Martial Superior with two opened meridians?

“How did he do it?”

Even though he was shocked, the black-robed guru was ready to attack again.

But before he could launch another move, he heard the sounds of gusts of wind.

All of them were here!

“Ha.”

Seeing the large group instantly surrounding him, the guru in black from the Nirvana Organization suddenly responded with a sneer. Glancing at everyone around him, he said in a cold voice, “You’re all here?”

“What’s your rank among the Nirvana Organization Guardians?”

Master Numinous asked.

The others were also shocked. They moved slowly, but John Doe’s speed was not much faster. So, when John Doe arrived, they were not far away.

Therefore, they saw John Doe taking a fatal attack from the black-robed guru. While amazed at John Doe’s outstanding fighting capacity, they felt relieved.

The guru in black wasted his most powerful attack on John Doe, who blocked it. It meant the guru was definitely not in his peak condition. The knockout blow must have consumed much of his internal Qi. Even if they were engaged in a vicious fight, they could subdue him without much effort!

“Hee hee …”

Hearing Master Numinous’s question, the black-robed guru burst out in sinister laughter. Then, he turned to look at Master Numinous and said, “I didn’t expect one of you to know about our Nirvana Organization, but I have no ranking!”

Master Numinous frowned immediately.

“Seriously?

“As far as I know, the top ten experts in Nirvana Organization are all gurus. As a guru, how could you not have a ranking?

“Are there more gurus in Nirvana Organization?”

With this in mind, Master Numinous’s face suddenly became solemn.

When the others heard this, all their faces changed color.

All of them decided to kill this guru. No matter what, they wouldn’t let him go this time!

“Here!”

Just then, the guru in black suddenly activated all his internal Qi and raised his head to shout toward the sky.

The roar soon echoed all around

Everyone’s faces suddenly changed drastically.

“Kill him right away!”

Master Numinous spoke up and moved out, making his right palm into a fist. A flash of golden light came out of his right fist, as he threw a powerful punch at the guru in black.

Diwu Mingchuan, Xi Fengling, Patriarch Qian, and Elder Zhan attacked together, encircling the guru.

Except for the five gurus, the others didn’t intend to strike. Instead, they retreated one after another.

After all, it was a battle between gurus. Even if the others joined in, they might be finished off before making any move. Most importantly, if the other side held anyone hostage, they would be in trouble.

Like the others, Fang Qiu, who fended off the guru’s critical strike, stepped aside to watch.

However…

Different from the other onlookers, Fang Qiu released his Divine Consciousness early. As soon as they came to blows, he noticed five powerful auras from gurus rushing over quickly from two different directions.

Right after perceiving the five auras, Fang Qiu’s face changed dramatically.

“Are there five more gurus?”

Just as he had expected, Nirvana Organization had set up a trap.

“But where did they get so many gurus?”

Five gurus were coming.

There would be six gurus in total, including the black-robed guru who was being besieged!

“Nirvana Organization doesn’t seem to begrudge its resources for this mission at all!”

Although he discovered that more gurus were coming, Fang Qiu didn’t enlighten the others.

He knew what would happen.

The others would soon find out about them. Besides, the four patriarchs and Master Numinous must have also noticed it.

Sure enough.

“More people are coming!”

In less than ten seconds, Lin Qingyi, who was a Half-step Guru, suddenly shouted a warning to the others, “There are five gurus!”

One after another, everyone began to sense it.

Indeed, they noticed five gurus were on their way here. All of a sudden, everyone became anxious.

Five gurus!

Once they arrived and rescued the black-robed guru, the strength of the two sides was no longer equal. Then it would be a challenge to deal with them.

What was more worrying was that many people on his side hadn’t even achieved the Half-step Guru level.

“I have to kill this black-robed guru first!”

A thought came to Fang Qiu’s mind.

With a wave of his right hand, he clenched his fist into a palm.

Then, he readied himself and quickly rushed into the battlefield.

The others saw Fang Qiu rushing over.

“No!”

“Wait! Don’t go over there!”

“John Doe, stop immediately!”

Everyone cried out in alarm.

But Fang Qiu didn’t hesitate at all.

His purpose in stepping forward was to help himself.

Once the five gurus arrived, there would be a significant disparity between their combat capabilities. Before they were driven into a corner, the only thing Fang Qiu could do was exert all his strength to win this battle.

He had made painstaking efforts for a long time to hide his strength. But once he exerted all his power, everyone would know his real strength, and everything he had done to keep his actual strength under wraps would be in vain.

After that, Nirvana Organization would concentrate on defeating him. In that case, Fang Qiu could no longer establish a force that could fight against Nirvana Organization, for this organization wouldn’t hesitate to nip his plan in the bud.

He wanted to prevent all of this from happening.

Before the five gurus arrived, Fang Qiu must help the four patriarchs and Master Numinous wipe out the black-robed guru!

Seeing John Doe rushing up to the battlefield, the four patriarchs and Master Numinous were stunned. However, they were not overly anxious but nodded in agreement in their hearts.

Although they had not fought with John Doe face to face, they believed John Doe had excellent combat capabilities. He survived the guru’s fatal blow, which was enough to prove his outstanding strength.

Now, it was time to end the battle as soon as possible!

Therefore…

John Doe’s appearance was a good thing for them!

“You’re courting death.”

The five experts surrounded the black-robed guru in a tight ring. When the guru, who could barely defend himself, saw John Doe rushing up again, he waved his right hand with a sneer. A dense black mist erupted from his sleeve, engulfing his whole arm, and then he forcefully swung it.

A burst of terrifying force, which was no less powerful than the previous strike, immediately bombarded Fang Qiu.

The five battle companions saw this charge.

They immediately seized the opportunity that John Doe opened up for them and pounced on the back of the guru in black. Because the dark-robed guru had gathered himself to launch an assault on John Doe, he left his defenses wide open!

However…

The black-robed guru was aware of this too.

On his way to attack John Doe, he broke out at a terrifying speed within seconds, pulling himself away from Master Numinous and the others and instantly rushing to Fang Qiu.

Fang Qiu saw the guru coming at him.

But he didn’t panic at all. Instead, he narrowed his eyes and dealt his opponent a blow.

“Great Hand of Formlessness!”

Fang Qiu thundered in his heart. His palm bumped vehemently against the guru’s arm wrapped in the black fog.

“Bang.”

The crash produced a deafening sound.

Under the impact of the collision this time round, Fang Qiu was instantly sent flying.

Fortunately, he was prepared for this in advance. By shifting his internal Qi, he managed to absorb the tremendous impact force, thus preventing himself from getting hurt.

“Buzz!”

On the other side, the black-robed grandmaster didn’t feel too much power emanating from John Doe’s fist. On the contrary, he sensed a gust of wind blowing out of his fist and hitting him.

He was not injured.

That kind of small impact couldn’t harm him at all.

He was about to run his Qi and carried on hunting down John Doe.

“Hmm?”

To his great surprise, as soon as the guru roused his internal Qi, his face fell.

It was because he found the internal Qi in him had been reduced by half.

What a surprising and horrifying finding!

His eyes widened in an instant, and he stared at John Doe, whom he had just knocked out.

To his astonishment, he saw a faint smile on John Doe’s lips.

When the guru saw the ghost of a smile, his face turned ashen in an instant.

Both John Doe and the guru knew Master Numinous and the others were close enough to launch their attacks now.

In the event of him losing half of his internal Qi, it was almost impossible for the guru to resist the joint attack of the five gurus!

“Swish.”

He abruptly turned around and launched a fierce counterattack on Master Numinous, who was the first to attack.

But before he could get away from Master Numinous’s attack, Diwu Mingchuan and the other three masters’ fists had already landed on him from four different directions.

“Clang!”

There was a loud explosion at the next moment.

Under the combined fierce attack of these five people, the blast tore open a fist-sized hole in the chest of the black-clothed guru.

It was impossible for the two completely different steams of Internal Qi to merge, let alone five different kinds of internal Qi!

“Puff…”

The black-robed guru opened his mouth.

He turned his head unwillingly and stared at John Doe in the distance.

Until the moment of death, his eyes reflected the faint smile at the corners of John Doe’s mouth.

Finally, they managed to kill him using their combined efforts.

The five gurus heaved a sigh of relief at the same time.

But before they could rest for a few seconds, a few ear-piercing sounds came through the air.

The five Nirvana Organization gurus had arrived!

Everyone turned to look at them.

Five people in black robes were flying over quickly from two different directions. Finally, they gathered together and formed a square formation, as they confronted John Doe and the others!
