Chapter 1368 Sword Fanatic’s Meridians Were All Broken…

In the Hundred Thousand Mountains of Nanjiang…

“Sizzle!”

Deep in the mountains, quavering sword sound rang from time to time.

From high up in the sky, dazzling rays of cold light could be seen. They shot up from the endless mountain creeks and forests. Like meteors, these light beams flashed past, carrying incomparably sharp energy Qi, and filled the mountain area behind them with fierce Qi.

Exactly!

These flashes of light came from Sword Fanatic.

There, he held a slightly rough iron sword with a few rags hanging down from the handguard. Around the handle of his iron sword was a layer of gauze. It was old and worn-out like those strips of cloth wrapped around the mummy.

It seemed that…

This iron sword should be the sword wrapped in rags that he had been carrying with him!

At this time…

Those rags around the sword were tied around his wrists and arms. This way, his palm and the sword hilt in his hand were tightly linked, forming an integrated whole.

With this long sword in his grasp…

Sword Fanatic flashed and dashed in the woods like a fish in water. Along with waves of his arm, the long sword made bursts of exceedingly mysterious sword Qi in the air.

Oddly…

Although these blasts of sword Qi were particularly vehement, none of them hurt any tree or blade of grass. All was left intact.

“Great swordsmanship!”

All of a sudden, voices with laughter resounded through the sky.

Sword Fanatic, practicing with his sword, abruptly stopped in his tracks.

He turned around and looked back.

Over there…

Two figures moved through the air above the woods.

The leading figure was a young man with long silver hair. The person behind him dressed like a steward.

As if in a ramble, the two leisurely came over by stepping on the crowns of trees, but their speed was amazing.

In the blink of an eye…

The two landed before Sword Fanatic.

“Gurus!”

The moment they touched the ground, Sword Fanatic’s pupils suddenly contracted.

He could sense a very faint but real sense of danger from the two men. Judging from the situation when they landed, he knew they were at least two gurus.

A Half-step Guru couldn’t fall onto the land so daintily. Only a guru mastering the flying skill could touch the ground in such a light and graceful manner, like a butterfly.

The two people before him were capable of such airy movements.

And…

Sword Fanatic was almost invincible among Half-step Gurus. If either of them was inferior to a guru, he could see through their strength at a glance. However, the two comers were a mystery to him.

“I heard you were obsessed with swordsmanship. In Wulin, your sword skills were the most outstanding. So far, you have only been defeated John Doe because of your inferior sword moves.”

The silver-haired man smiled. “Finally, I found you. Seeing is believing. You live up to my expectations.”

“Who are you?”

Utterly without fear, Sword Fanatic faced the man before him and asked indifferently, “Why are you looking for me in the Hundred Thousand Mountains?”

“Hundred Thousand Mountains is the most welcomed place for masters in Wulin to cultivate assiduously.”

The silver-haired man shook his head and smiled. “Of course, it’s also a perfect place for fierce combats!”

Hearing this, Sword Fanatic narrowed his eyes.

He finally understood what was going on.

This man was here to pick a fight.

“I don’t have time to fight with you.”

With a stir in his mind, Sword Fanatic snorted and turned to leave.

“But right now, you’re free, right?”

The silver-haired man swiftly poised himself. Then, like a flash of lightning, he thrust himself forward, leaving only a string of shadows — he blocked Sword Fanatic’s way.

“I’ve traveled thousands of miles to see you. How could I possibly allow you to slip away right under my nose?”

The silver-haired man shook his head and said while smiling.

“What do you want?”

Sword Fanatic was furious.

“I’ll use you as a stepping stone.”

The silver-haired man replied.

Over there…

“My Lord.”

The steward took out a digital camera, turned it on, and asked, “Should I start recording now?”

...

“Let’s begin.”

With a light smile, the silver-haired man pounced on Sword Fanatic.

“Humph.”

Sword Fanatic was not a pushover.

He avoided them, not because of fear. It was just that he specially came to the Hundred Thousand Mountains for cultivation. Finally, he gained a little comprehension when concentrating on practicing sword skills. At this critical moment, he was not interested in fighting at all.

But he didn’t expect the so-called Crowning Lord to be so aggressive!

“Courting death!”

It took him a lot of effort to gain sudden enlightenment. But disturbed by the man, Sword Fanatic could not focus on cultivating and comprehending. As a result, he flew into a rage, swinging the sword in his hand.

“Sizzle.”

An ear-splitting sound of something breaking through the air was heard. Sword Fanatic waved his arm, and waves of energy Qi suddenly burst out from the iron sword. As the long sword broke through the air, the energy Qi that looked incomparably vigorous immediately turned into a beam of sword light. It rushed to Crowning Lord with unstoppable momentum.

“Impressive swordsmanship.”

...

Crowning Lord narrowed his eyes, seemingly reluctant to take the sword strike head-on. Instantly, he turned around and retreated aside with a whoosh, successfully dodging the extremely sharp sword radiance.

Opposite him…

Right after forcing Crowning Lord away with one sword strike, Sword Fanatic turned around to leave.

But right at this moment…

“Whish!”

In an instant, another ear-piercing sound penetrated the air to attack him.

There…

While avoiding the fierce attack of the sword light, Crowning Lord got ready and rushed up. Once again, he stood in Sword Fanatic’s way.

There was even a playful smile on his face.

He seemed to be deliberately playing the fool with Sword Fanatic.

How could the hot-tempered Sword Fanatic stand it?

“Damn it. I’ll send you to hell.”

Crowning Lord fought with obvious relish. Seeing this, Sword Fanatic cursed angrily and immediately waved his sword to attack.

In his hand, the long sword turned as mighty as a horse-chopping blade, bringing gusts of strong wind. Every time he slashed down, he would release a tremendous force powerful enough to cut cows and horses in half.

“It starts getting interesting.”

Crowning Lord smiled faintly. With a casual wave of his right hand, he confronted the sharp iron sword in Sword Fanatic’s hand.

“Pa!”

There came a crisp sound.

The iron sword was tough enough to slash an ox or a horse in two. Astonishingly, Crowning Lord stopped it with his palm!

Sword Fanatic was shocked to the core.

He fixed his eyes on his opponent’s palm.

Over there…

Crowning Lord’s hand was covered by a glove made of a thin layer of silk-like silver threads. The little transparent glove looked like a net. Without a closer look, no one could notice it.

Crowning Lord blocked the blade by the glove, not by his bare hand!

At once, Sword Fanatic attempted to withdraw his sword.

However, no matter how hard he tried, the long sword didn’t move. He felt his sword was stuck and couldn’t get it out at all.

“Your swordsmanship is indeed outstanding. You are powerful enough to fight against a guru. What a pity.”

Crowning Lord shook his head and sighed softly.

Then his left hand suddenly moved.

“Bang!”

He attacked so fast that Sword Fanatic could not react — his violent slap fell on Sword Fanatic in a tenth of a second.

“Eh?”

When Sword Fanatic realized what was happening, it was too late for him to do anything. He could only watch as the stinging slap caught him.

After that…

He felt a tremendous stream of energy Qi hit him. Instantly, he was knocked more than ten meters away and heavily smashed into the trunk of a large tree.

As soon as he landed…

Sword Fanatic gritted his teeth and forcibly swallowed the blood rushing up his throat. He shot up and waved the long sword, ready to attack again.

Unfortunately, his strength was too weak.

If he broke through and became a guru, even Crowning Lord would not dare to look down on him like this. It was a pity that he was only a Half-step Guru.

“Whoosh…”

A gust of cold wind blew fast past his ears. Crowning Lord was ten meters away, but the moment Sword Fanatic rose, he flashed over. Without giving him any chance to react, Crowning Lord clenched his right hand with a silver glove. Then, he moved his arm and burst out a terrible force. At the same time, he punched Sword Fanatic hard in the lower abdomen.

“Puff!”

As the blow fell, Sword Fanatic could not bear it anymore. He opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood. Once again, he slammed into the big tree behind him, almost breaking its thick trunk. Then, he fell forward feebly and fainted.

“He is so obsessed with swordsmanship. Once such a cultivator becomes a guru, he will be a big threat.”

Crowning Lord smiled, squatted down, and turned over the Sword Fanatic, who was lying on the ground. Then he examined him thoroughly. At last, he stood up with a satisfied smile and said, “Great. All his meridians are broken. He is already a good-for-nothing!”

Over there…

The steward recorded the whole battle. At this time, the camera in his hand steadily moved in on Sword Fanatic for a close-up sequence. After that, it turned up to Crowning Lord.

“My Wulin fellows, am I qualified to challenge John Doe now?”

Crowning Lord said with a smile.

After that…

The steward turned off the camera.

“Have you recorded everything?”

Crowning Lord asked.

“The whole process is recorded.”

The steward immediately replied with a nod.

“Alright.”

Crowning Lord nodded with satisfaction and said, “Publish the entire video.”

“My Lord.”

The steward frowned, slightly bent down, and said, “If I upload the entire video, won’t it expose your strength?”

“So what if others know it?”

Crowning Lord sneered disdainfully and said, “John Doe is dead meat!”

…

Soon…

On the Wulin online forum…

The new account issuing the challenge letter released another post.

There was not a single word but only a video!

When people on the Wulin online forum opened and saw the video…

They were greatly frightened and shocked!

“Sword Fanatic?”

“It’s too cruel, isn’t it?”

“This man completely destroyed someone who has nothing against him. Who is that man exactly?”

“What a superior strength. Sword Fanatic couldn’t even fend off two attacks from him. This person is absolutely a guru, an extraordinary one!”

“Is Sword Fanatic severely disabled like that?”

“Isn’t this too terrifying?”

For a time, the whole Wulin online forum was in an uproar.

No one dared to laugh at the newcomer anymore.

Beyond doubt…

This silver-haired man displayed his exceedingly great strength and bloody methods. The others no longer dared to doubt whether he was qualified to challenge Fang Qiu!

At the same time…

All the Wulin forces began to investigate the identity of the silver-haired man in the video.

However, after they searched for a long time, no clue was found.

“Is he another person without origin like John Doe?”

“But this man is nothing like John Doe. He is cruel and ruthless!”

Somewhere else…

In Zengzi relic…

Since Fang Qiu ignored the challenge letter, he had been resolving doubts for these brothers and explaining the cultivation methods. Therefore, his brothers saw the video on the Wulin online forum only after he finished speaking.

Fang Qiu opened the video.

At once, he broke into a furious rage!
