Chapter 1378 Both Were Merely Testing!

“Bang!”

A loud bang suddenly spread out.

The four living corpses were fast, but Fang Qiu’s Dragon’s Claws were even quicker. These claws heavily bombarded the four dried corpses midway.

But the next moment…

Fang Qiu was startled.

In the distance, Sword Fanatic’s pupils suddenly contracted!

There…

The Dragon’s Claws, powerful enough to repel attacks from the silver-haired man, violently dashed against the four living corpses. When deep claw marks appeared on their chests, the four dried corpses paused. Terrifyingly, they only stopped for an instant.

One second later, the four living corpses started moving again.

The assaults they had just suffered seemingly did not affect them at all. They dashed toward Fang Qiu again.

“Hehe…”

Sword Fanatic let out a string of crazy and playful laughter.

His eyes were green as if lurid and faint flames were burning inside them.

“What the hell is this?”

Fang Qiu frowned darkly, fixing his eyes on the four living corpses pouncing on him from four sides.

All of a sudden…

“Sizzle…”

There came a crisp sound.

The living corpse holding the chain scythe suddenly waved his hand. In his grip, the chain sickle wrapped in a layer of black Qi suddenly burst out an excessively bleak aura. It suddenly flew out of his hand to attack Fang Qiu fiercely!

At the same time…

The other corpse with a long nail also waved his hand ferociously, throwing the long nail at Fang Qiu. Like a sharp blade from a Wulin expert, it went straight to stab at Fang Qiu’s chest with a highly fierce momentum!

When Fang Qiu detected this…

He flashed aside and dodged quickly. At the same time, he clenched his right hand, and the divine sword promptly took shape in his hand.

“Kill him!”

On the other side, a roar came from Crowning Lord’s mouth.

Just as his voice faded…

“Whoosh…”

Two ear-splitting sounds came through the air to Fang Qiu’s ears.

A chill struck the back of his head.

Fang Qiu quickly turned his head and looked over.

To his astonishment, the other two living corpses had rushed right behind him. The huge iron hammer fell from the sky while the long sword stabbed upward!

In merely a twinkle…

Four weapons in black Qi surrounded Fang Qiu, each pointing at Fang Qiu’s fatal points.

“Pa!”

Fang Qiu waved his right hand.

The long sword in his hand swept out and savagely bumped against the chain sickle flying over. In an instant, he lowered and turned the divine sword in his hand to press the sickle blade down to the ground. Then, with his left hand, he grabbed the chain connected to the sickle and suddenly put forth his strength. Immediately, he threw himself upon the living corpse holding the chain sickle.

This set of movements was smooth and natural.

He broke through the tight encirclement and seized a rare opportunity to attack!

“Crack!”

In a flash, he darted to the dry corpse and stabbed it with the divine sword in his right hand.

The divine sword advanced fast without hindrance.

It pierced straight through the heart of the dried corpse!

Oddly…

The living corpse didn’t attempt to dodge.

Though its chest was pierced, it didn’t seem injured. On the contrary, with a wave of its hands, the chain connected to the sickle suddenly flew back like a slithering snake. Covered by the black Qi, it circled in the air and formed a few iron rings. Abruptly, the rings tightened, trying to tie Fang Qiu together with the living corpse.

“Watch out!”

In the distance, Sword Fanatic warned him at the top of his voice.

Outside the battlefield, he could tell the four corpses and the weapons in their hands were seemingly in control of the silver-haired man.

Therefore, the four dried corpses were a threat to John Doe, but for the silver-haired man, they were meat shields!

In the field…

Fang Qiu also detected his rival’s intention.

He looked alert.

The divine sword in his hand immediately slashed toward the chain coming from behind to tie him up.

“Pa!”

…

An earth-shattering sound rang out.

Fang Qiu had used at least half of his strength in this strike.

But contrary to his expectation…

He didn’t break the chain!

How could the blood-red chain be so tough?

Fang Qiu used a divine sword. How could any ordinary weapon withstand its hack? Especially, Fang Qiu exerted half of his strength.

“What’s going on?”

Fang Qiu’s heart tightened, and he slashed again.

He didn’t believe the weapons held by these corpses were divine weapons that could match his divine sword!

He chopped again with the sword.

Fang Qiu immediately found something strange.

…

There…

His divine sword didn’t cut the red iron chain. Before it touched the chain, the layer of black Qi on the chain stopped the blade from moving forward.

“Swish!”

Just when Fang Qiu noticed it…

The iron chain suddenly contracted.

In an instant, he was tied to the dried corpse.

The chain began to tighten like a giant snake coiling itself around its prey. It erupted overwhelming power, twisting Fang Qiu and crushing him!

“Tsk, tsk…”

Crowning Lord burst out laughing like mad.

At the same time…

He waved his right hand.

In an instant, the other three corpses rushed over with weapons in their hands and attacked Fang Qiu’s back of the head, spine, and waist. From three different and tricky directions, they erupted considerable Qi power.

Fang Qiu would suffer terrible injuries or even be killed if any of the three places was seriously wounded!

Evidently…

Crowning Lord was determined to kill him!

On the neighboring peak…

“Whoosh…”

Seeing the urgent situation, Sword Fanatic moved and dashed over to save John Doe.

At the same time…

Crowning Lord also rushed toward Fang Qiu with a grim smile. Though he had a big grin on his face, the madness showing in his eyes grew intenser. It seemed as if he had finally obtained what he was obsessed with!

But just as he rushed out a few steps, Crowning Lord stopped.

It was because he saw something utterly unexpected.

John Doe, trapped with the corpse, was smiling at him.

Inexplicably, the faint smile made him feel bad. Right away, he stopped rushing forward and stared at Fang Qiu to see what the hell he was plotting.

Over there…

Sword Fanatic also stopped halfway.

In front of him…

A ray of golden light rose suddenly.

“Crack.”

With a crisp sound, the sudden burst of golden light tore apart the red iron chain binding Fang Qiu and the corpse closely tied up with him. As if they were burning, they turned into ashes all over the sky and dissipated in a flash.

This scene…

Sword Fanatic finally calmed down.

Opposite them…

Crowning Lord stared at the divine sword in Fang Qiu’s hands in mute astonishment.

He could see it.

A trace of golden light was shining on the edge of Fang Qiu’s divine sword.

It was a kind of power!

“Impossible! How was this possible?”

Crowning Lord’s eyes turned gloomy, and his face turned ashy grey.

What was that trace of golden energy? He didn’t know the exact answer, but he sensed danger. The golden energy could restrain and deactivate the black Qi he utilized!

Here…

With one sword strike, Fang Qiu shattered the iron chain and slayed the dried corpses. Then, he swiftly turned around, got into position, and lunged toward the other three living corpses. So fast was he that only his moving shadows could be seen.

The dried corpses moved deftly as ordinary gurus, but they were far inferior compared to Fang Qiu.

Crowning Lord was well aware of this situation.

Immediately, he ordered the three bloody corpses to retreat and escape from John Doe’s fatal onslaughts.

Unfortunately…

They were too slow.

“Swish, swish, swish…”

Fang Qiu brandished the long blade to chop.

Golden radiance lit up in the air. Strengthened by the golden energy, his sword effortlessly chopped the three corpses in half, like cutting the soft tofu.

When the blade cut into them, the golden energy invaded the corpses and slid inside them, breaking them into dust and powder flying all over the sky like paper ash!

“Great!”

Sword Fanatic clenched his fists and cheered loudly.

There…

After Fang Qiu annihilated the four corpses, the layer of black Qi on Crowning Lord grew wildly. It looked like he had taken all the black Qi from the four corpses.

“I’ve underestimated you.”

Crowning Lord eyed Fang Qiu with a gloomy face.

“Humph.”

Fang Qiu responded with a sneer. “I can kill one guru, four gurus, and you!”

With this…

“Boom!”

An unmatched terrifying Qi power rose from Fang Qiu. It was several times intenser than before, which made Fang Qiu look different.

“I’m going to eat you to fill my Reborn Tomb!”

Crowning Lord was enraged as well.

He had a hard job finding four gurus, but to his great dismay, John Doe wiped them out with the greatest of ease.

How could he know John Doe happened to have the power to restrain his Reborn Tomb?

In a towering rage, he was more anxious to get John Doe. He could hardly wait to capture and refine John Doe into a corpse working for him!

On the other side…

Fang Qiu remained utterly unmoved.

In the beginning, when he sensed the black Qi on the four corpses, he had already figured out how to deal with them.

The nature of the black Qi was very similar to that of the infectious black matter, but the black Qi was not as strong as the black matter. After Fang Qiu recultivated and became a guru, a trace of golden energy appeared in his body. Since the golden energy could remove the mysterious black matter, it could eliminate the black Qi.

Why would Fang Qiu take action at such a critical moment? His purpose was simple — he wanted to gather the four corpses and kill them together!

Otherwise, these corpses would disturb him in the attacks later.

Now…

Everything went as expected.

Opposite him…

Crowning Lord was unable to contain his anger. Because he didn’t know John Doe well enough, he suffered the most significant loss. It was his most regretful thing. As Crowning Lord of Nirvana Organization, he should have been the one who remained in the dark and stayed mysterious to everyone!

But now, their situations were reversed.

John Doe was the one acting undercover.

On reflection…

Before this, they had spent a lot of effort investigating John Doe, but no matter how much work they had done, they could not find any information about John Doe.

In Crowning Lord’s mind, if he knew a little bit more about John Doe, John Doe would never have had the chance to hold him back!

“Do you have any other hidden tricks? Use them all!”

Staring at John Doe, Crowning Lord said in a cold voice.

“It’s also the time for you to go all out.”

Fang Qiu cracked a sardonic grin.

So far, Crowning Lord had suppressed Fang Qiu in the first two moves, and Fang Qiu pinned him down in the last two moves. In general, the two sides were in a tie in this battle.

But judging from their moderate performance, they were sounding out the strength of each other.

No one exerted all their strength.

Now, it was time to do a decisive battle!

“You are indeed worthy of my full effort.”

Crowning Lord burst out laughing and joked, “Hee, hee… but are you prepared to close your eyes?”
