Chapter 1372 - Chapter 1372 Sword Fanatic Became a Guru!
Chapter 1372 Sword Fanatic Became a Guru!
“Buzz.”
A stiff wind rose suddenly.
In the sky, the fierce wind swept through layers of rosy clouds under the setting sun. Waves of clouds in all directions rolled and gathered together above the hotel, forming a giant cloud vortex.
Rays of sunset shone over, dyeing the whole cloud layer colorful. The scene looked particularly dreamy.
In the city…
Most of the people were attracted by the wonderful scene in the sky. The passers-by lost no time taking out their mobile phones to take photos and record videos.
In the suite of the hotel…
“Whoosh, whoosh…”
Ear-piercing whistles of wind sounded in their ears.
Of course…
The sound was not caused by wind but by the rapid surge of the Qi of Heaven and Earth.
When Sword Fanatic was repairing his meridians, Fang Qiu collected almost all the Qi of Heaven and Earth within a hundred kilometers.
Now…
Just after Sword Fanatic recovered, his newborn meridians uncontrollably demonstrated explosive strength of attraction. The Qi of Heaven and Earth gathered by Fang Qiu was madly swallowed down into him and poured into his meridians.
“Surely. He is going to make a breakthrough?”
Like tides, the Qi of Heaven and Earth flood into Sword Fanatic. When Fang Qiu sensed this, his eyes lit up. At once, he sat cross-legged and started escorting Sword Fanatic.
On the alert, he focused all his attention on Sword Fanatic, who had just recovered. Fang Qiu worried that he might not endure the massive impact of this sudden breakthrough.
Near him…
Sword Fanatic was still motionless and did not attempt to control the movement of the internal Qi inside him. Though a large amount of Qi of Heaven and Earth was packed into his body, he wasn’t disturbed.
He took everything coolly. Despite the tremendous changes, he remained steadfast and unmoved.
This situation continued.
It lasted nearly half an hour, but Sword Fanatic only absorbed half of the Qi of Heaven and Earth gathered by Fang Qiu. After the half entered his body, it turned into internal Qi at terrifying speed. Then, without any resistance, it rushed against the last barrier of his meridians.
It was not about meridians. Instead, it was a hidden spiritual shackle that countless people failed to break!
Now…
As his internal Qi moved increasingly faster, Sword Fanatic, in a tranquil state of mind, naturally transcended this barrier.
“Swish!”
At the same time, a strong force of attraction burst out of him, helping him devour the other half of the Qi of Heaven and Earth gathered by Fang Qiu in an instant!
After that…
“Boom…”
A huge wave of energy exploded like a bomb, going out in all directions.
At the same time…
In the sky, the tornado-like cloud in seven colors quietly dispersed.
Everything quieted down.
Seeing all this happen, Fang Qiu was at a loss for how to act up appropriately.
This matter…
It was a tragedy from the very beginning!
Sword Fanatic’s kung fu was utterly ruined because of John Doe. After the disaster, they had to repair his meridians. Eventually, Sword Fanatic broke through to a guru in one fell swoop!
When Fang Qiu thought back on it, this accomplishment made sense.
It had been many years since Sword Fanatic became a Half-step Guru. Praised as a legend in Wulin, he could even fight against an ordinary guru.
Over the years, Sword Fanatic couldn’t make a breakthrough, yet his strength had been improving continuously. As a result, Sword Fanatic accumulated considerable underlying power.
It seemed that…
Sword Fanatic’s breakthrough should have something to do with his mental state.
Because of his destroyed meridians, he might abandon all his hopes and muddle away his days. In this case, even if Fang Qiu helped him completely repair his meridians and restore his previous strength, he could only continue practicing his swordsmanship happily.
In fact…
Why had Sword Fanatic been stranded in the Half-step Guru Realm for many years? Fang Qiu and Sword Fanatic knew the answer: Sword Fanatic couldn’t escape his obsession with the sword.
He strove to become a guru by relying exclusively on his swordsmanship. As for others things like the realms, he never bothered to comprehend them.
Unexpectedly…
Desperately trapped between life and death, he was suddenly enlightened.
What he pursued was not strength but pure swordsmanship. Therefore, he entirely discarded his obsession with martial arts. Afterward, he took martial arts lightly and even wanted to become an ordinary person.
Once returning to his original nature, he broke free from all shackles and became a guru!
The strange phenomenon ended.
Sword Fanatic let out a long breath, ready to open his eyes and get up.
“Please, don’t.”
Sensing Sword Fanatic’s intention, Fang Qiu immediately reached out and pressed on his shoulder, saying, “You’ve just recovered and broken through to the Guru Realm. Everything in your body, including your internal Qi, is new. You need to take this opportunity to stabilize your realm!”
Sword Fanatic heard his suggestion.
With a brief nod, he went on cultivating steadily.
By his side…
Fang Qiu took out his mobile phone, opened it, and found an entire day had passed.
“One day passed by. There should be news.”
With a stir of his mind, Fang Qiu logged into the Wulin online forum.
As soon as he entered…
Sure enough, he saw the new post from the other party!
“Fight!”
It was a simple title.
“John Doe, you live up to your reputation. To push you out for a fight, I planned to mess with a few more people. I didn’t expect you to come just after I smashed one. As your rival, I kindly remind you that it is not good to care about too many people in Jianghu.”
“I’ve sent you a private message about the time and place for the combat.”
“I’m waiting for you!”
There were a total of three passages with simple content.
In terms of time…
This post should have been released less than two hours ago.
However…
In just two hours, tens of thousands of remarks emerged in the comment area.
“Damn it, isn’t he excessively arrogant?”
“Hasn’t this man suffered a setback? How dare he educate John Doe?”
“He’s extremely arrogant, much more aggressive than Qingshan. Hurting Sword Fanatic is not yet enough, and he aims at others?”
“John Doe, I support you. Crush him!”
“Yes, beat him to death.”
“Is this person scared? He doesn’t have the courage to announce the time and place openly. If many people get there, they might beat him up. He is afraid of that, isn’t he?”
“Seemingly, this battle will not be conducted in public.”
“I really want to see how John Doe defeats this guy!”
All kinds of messages crammed the comment area.
Fang Qiu glanced around casually.
Almost all the remarks and comments supported him.
In the eyes of every netizen on the forum, this person was shameless and despicable to the extreme. Everyone looked down on him!
Fang Qiu read a few comments.
When he clicked to check his private messages, he saw the one from his rival.
“Three days later, when the sun rises, I’ll kill you at the Infinite Mountain in Nanjiang!”
It was a short line of words.
“Humph.”
Fang Qiu snorted and immediately replied, “Find someone to pick up your dead body!”
Nanjiang…
In a suite of a hot spring hotel in Spring City…
“Hah-hah.”
After waiting two hours, Crowning Lord finally received John Doe’s reply. At the sight of John Doe’s short private message, he couldn’t help sneering, and a trace of highly vicious killing intent instantly emerged in his eyes. He murmured, “John Doe, your time is up.”
“Because of you, all our branches in Huaxia have been uprooted. Besides, we lost Sixth Venerable, Seventh Venerable, Eighth Venerable, and more than a dozen great Guardians. It is you who crippled one-third of our high-end combat capability. You deserve to die!”
With this…
With his hands exerting some strength, Crowning Lord crushed the laptop into pieces!
…
In Canglin City…
In the hotel…
Sword Fanatic was still cultivating to consolidate his cultivation.
Fang Qiu stood by the French window, looking down at the scenery of the whole city.
All of a sudden…
“Beep, beep, beep…”
The phone in his hand rang.
Fang Qiu took it up. It was a call from Xi Fengling.
“Senior.”
Fang Qiu answered the phone.
“John Doe, tell me the place and time for this battle. My Xi family can help you!”
Xi Fengling’s voice sounded serious on the phone.
“Eh?”
Fang Qiu was stunned because he was unfamiliar with the Xi family. He only met Xi Fengling and Xi Shaolin a few times. They didn’t have much contact with him at all. Why would the Xi family suddenly call him and offer help?
“You don’t have to doubt it.”
Xi Fengling continued, “This matter is related to the entire Huaxia Wulin. Our Xi family and all the Wulin forces, large or small, want to know about this matter. We are all on guard against the silver-haired man who issued a challenge to you. By helping you, we could sound out the silver-haired man!”
“Understood.”
Fang Qiu nodded with understanding and said, “But I will solve this problem by myself. Thanks for caring.”
After that…
Fang Qiu hung up the phone.
Later, the Qian family, the Zhan family, and the Diwu Great Family called one after another, asking if they could help. They also inquired about the time and place of this battle.
Fang Qiu could only politely decline their offers one by one.
Also, the Pear Garden and other small, medium, and large forces called him.
In this situation…
Helplessly, Fang Qiu could only set up a WeChat group. Then, he added the leaders of various Wulin forces to the group chat.
“Everyone, thank you for your concern, but because there are too many phone calls, I can’t answer them one by one. I can only tell all of you here. I’m very grateful for your kindness, but it is a personal issue. Please wait for the result.”
The news was sent out.
It was improper for others to say more, so they could only wish John Doe good luck.
“John Doe, do you know who your opponent is?”
The Diwu family’s head mentioned John Doe and asked.
“I don’t know.”
Fang Qiu replied and asked, “I wonder if you have found any clues.”
Everyone shook their heads.
No one found any clues.
This time…
Fang Qiu couldn’t help frowning.
“How could all the Wulin forces have no idea about it?
“Something is wrong!
“It is impossible for anyone coming out of nowhere in Wulin. Could he be a super expert living in seclusion cultivated by the old master like Qingshan?”
In doubt…
Fang Qiu called Li Ji to see if he knew something.
In the end, nothing was found.
Fang Qiu had no choice.
He even called the Sword Sect to ask about it.
As a result, there was no information about his rival’s identity. To his astonishment, no one in Wulin knew the background of the silver-haired man.
Who exactly was this person?
