Chapter 1375 A Battle in the Infinite Mountain!

“Don’t you think I’m also blindly arrogant?”

Fang Qiu asked.

“I have faith in you.”

Sword Fanatic smiled lightly and said, “I’ve fought with you two, and I have to say the silver-haired man is a little stronger. However, I’m not sure if you’ve demonstrated all your strength. I know you’re still hiding your capacities. Anyway, I don’t know where your upper limit is.”

!!

“Just because of a feeling, you think highly of me?”

Fang Qiu asked again.

“Let me explain it with numbers. If 1 represents the martial arts practitioner at the lowest level in Wulin, I feel the silver-haired man should be 100, and you are 0!”

Sword Fanatic gave an in-depth explanation. “0 means the unknown. You may be over 100 or less, but at least you are above 90. Most importantly, you stand a good chance of passing 100. So, I am optimistic about you.”

Fang Qiu heard his thorough analysis.

He just smiled and didn’t say anything.

…

On the Internet…

Two days had passed.

There was still no news on the Wulin online forum.

Everyone in Wulin was confused and curious. They were all looking for John Doe and the silver-haired man!

No one knew the time and place of their combat. Had it already begun? Or had it ended? Or had it not started yet?

“Why is there no news at all?”

“Everyone, come out and talk about it. Did any abnormal energy fluctuations happen in any regions of our country?”

“What the hell is going on? Since he has issued a public challenge, why doesn’t he dare to announce the time and place?”

“We can forget it if that arrogant silver-haired man doesn’t publicize the information, but why doesn’t John Doe do it? He can tell us and let us go to support him!”

“I guess this matter is not that simple.”

“According to sources, all the major forces have contacted John Doe to learn about the time and place of the battle. They offered to help John Doe fight against this silver-haired man, but John Doe refused all of them.”

“Why would he do that?”

“John Doe said this was his personal business, and he hoped to solve it on his own. This silver-haired man was overly sinister. Since John Doe didn’t want to implicate the sects in Wulin, he chose not to make public the time and place.”

“This silver-haired man is truly detestable. When he picked up his first target, he attacked maliciously.”

“I guess John Doe is afraid that the silver-haired man will injure us when we go there. After all, to force John Doe to accept the challenge, he could be so cruel to Sword Fanatic. If we go to watch the battle and he can’t defeat John Doe, he may attack us and threaten John Doe with our lives!”

“If that’s the case, I’d better not go.”

“Whether we go or not, he should at least give us a little information, right? Did they fight or not? If they’ve already started fighting, what is the situation on the battlefield? If the combat hasn’t started, just tell us a little about that.”

For a time…

There were many lively discussions on the Wulin online forum.

Everyone was waiting for news.

To their dismay…

But there was no news at all.

…

Nanjiang…

In Infinite Mountain…

Fang Qiu and Sword Fanatic were sitting cross-legged on the top of the mountain to cultivate. During the cultivation, Fang Qiu kept expanding his Divine Consciousness until it covered the entire Infinite Mountain. He had to observe the movements around them in case his rival cheated!

They had been cultivating for a whole night, but no unusual movements happened in the entire mountain range.

The next day…

At five o’clock in the morning, Fang Qiu woke up from his cultivation.

At this time…

The sky was turning bright in the east. Standing on the mountaintop, Fang Qiu looked around, holding all other mountains in a single glance. He felt nice and comfortable with such a sight under the fishbelly white sky.

Sword Fanatic also woke up.

“What a great place.”

Feeling the incredibly refreshing air in the morning, Sword Fanatic couldn’t help sighing with emotion and said, “Why didn’t I think of coming here to cultivate?”

“It’s not the right moment.”

Fang Qiu shook his head and said, “When the sun is rising in the eastern sky, it’s the best time to cultivate!”

With this…

Fang Qiu turned to face the east and continued, “There are two excellent cultivation places in this mountain: Infinite Sword Lake and Infinite Jade Wall, and the legendary Langhuan Bliss Land.”

“According to the tale, the Langhuan Bliss Land was a dwelling place of the ancient Xiaoyao Sect. Unfortunately, after many years, it descended into a tourist attraction.”

“The Infinite Sword Sect had dominated this place. Even so, it was driven away to a side peak.”

Sword Fanatic heard all of this.

His eyes lit up, and he said, “You are talking about stories in TV series, right? I’ve also heard of the Infinite Sword Sect, but why did it sound so unreal when you mentioned it?”

“It’s real!”

...

Fang Qiu turned around and said, “Many martial arts novels are written based on facts. For example, ‘Moo Bloody Toad,’ the legendary King of All Poisons, really exists. The residents of the entire Infinite Mountain know the King of All Poisons here is real. Moreover, on the night of the End of Heat, one of the 24 solar terms, an extremely rare spectacle will happen in the Infinite Mountain: ‘Myriad Toads Worship’!”

Sword Fanatic heard his introduction.

He was stunned.

He turned his head and looked around this place, seemingly to see if there were any toads or frogs nearby.

Just then…

Golden rays suddenly appeared on the horizon.

The morning sun rose from the east!

“Whoosh.”

Fang Qiu immediately sat cross-legged, mobilizing his Qi to cultivate.

Sword Fanatic had some doubts.

Before he asked, traces of purple Qi emerged from the horizon, tumbling and floating over. Although in small numbers, they existed!

...

The first wisp of purple Qi rushed over, going straight into Fang Qiu.

“The purple Qi comes from the east!”

A flash of inspiration came to his mind.

Sword Fanatic quickly sat cross-legged. When he rose his Qi, he began cultivating and absorbing the purple Qi.

What a pity.

The purple Qi was little.

Fang Qiu absorbed five or six traces, while Sword Fanatic took only one wisp.

“Here he comes.”

Just after he absorbed the purple Qi, Fang Qiu abruptly opened his eyes, lurched to his feet, and looked into the distance.

Sword Fanatic also opened his eyes and jumped to his feet.

He took a closer look.

There…

From a distance, a figure was dashing toward them.

This person had a full head of silver hair.

It was the silver-haired man! He had challenged John Doe and seriously injured Sword Fanatic!

“Alone?”

Fang Qiu raised his eyebrows and narrowed his eyes.

Under the detection of his Divine Consciousness, he sensed that the other party came alone.

“There should be a housekeeper following him.”

Sword Fanatic reminded Fang Qiu, “When they attacked me, the housekeeper was recording with a digital camera!”

“It looks like we have to be careful.”

Fang Qiu nodded knowingly and said, “I’m sure he is alone. But I don’t know if anyone else is hiding behind!”

With this…

“Swish!”

An ear-piercing wind-breaking sound was heard.

Like a gust of wind, the silver-haired man flashed over, landing on the top of Infinite Mountain. He looked straight ahead.

He saw John Doe and Sword Fanatic.

“Ha.”

Crowning Lord laughed scornfully and said, “He looks great. John Doe, you’re competent. You can even heal his broken meridians. You must have used a lot of Heaven Treasures, haven’t you?”

“Were his meridians all broken?”

Fang Qiu shook his head and said, “His meridians were snapped, but a few fibers stayed joined. One Bodhi Fruit was enough to cure him!”

In fact…

There was no need for Fang Qiu to talk to him.

However, from his words, he knew Crowning Lord was sounding him out about this matter.

After all…

When all the meridians were broken, the cultivator suffered a fatal and permanent injury. Anyone in Wulin knew a person with broken meridians was useless. There were no exceptions to this.

If there were one person in the world who could fully restore the broken meridians, it would be Fang Qiu!

Therefore…

When Crowning Lord talked to explore the secret, Fang Qiu told him the truth: Sword Fanatic’s meridians were not separated but still connected. With this, he could remove the other party’s suspicion toward them. In passing, he could sneer at him.

“Is it so easy to break my meridians?”

Sword Fanatic laughed disdainfully.

“I see.”

Crowning Lord’s eyelids twitched. Immediately, he shook his head and said, “In that case, I have to work harder. This time, I will sever your meridians and smash your Dantian!”

“Isn’t that daydreaming?”

Sword Fanatic’s eyes widened, and he angrily took a stride forward — he was on the verge of breaking out.

At this time…

“Pa!”

Fang Qiu pressed his palm on Sword Fanatic’s shoulder and stopped him. Meanwhile, he stepped forward, walked to Sword Fanatic, and said, “This is my battle.”

Sword Fanatic heard this.

He gnashed his teeth in hatred and forcibly suppressed the flames of fury in his heart.

“Hee, hee.”

Crowning Lord forced a hollow laugh, saying, “Don’t worry. Either of you will suffer. I’ll send both of you to hell today!”

“It’s hard to say who will go to hell.”

Fang Qiu shook his head and said, “You’re alone. How can you kill me?”

“Well, just with this pair of hands.”

With a smile, Crowning Lord raised his hands, revealing the pair of silver-thread gloves. Then he wagged his fingers at them and added, “You two come at me together!”

“You don’t deserve it.”

Fang Qiu shook his head disdainfully, then turned to look at Sword Fanatic and said, “Big brother, don’t intervene in this matter. Just watch the battle aside!”

“Hiss…”

Sword Fanatic took a deep breath and nodded gently.

“I think you’d better fight in unison against me.”

Shotting them a disapproving look, Crowning Lord sneered and said, “You alone are far enough for me to beat!”

Near them…

Sword Fanatic followed Fang Qiu’s advice.

He leaped up and retreated to the distance.

He withdrew to the top of the neighboring peak.

Indeed…

Both John Doe and the silver-haired man had unparalleled combat capability. They were at least super experts as mighty as a guru. In a battle between top-notch experts, the vast area on the top of a mountain might not be enough!

When Sword Fanatic walked away…

Fang Qiu turned around, cold eyes on the silver-haired man, and asked, “Who the hell are you? Why are you looking for trouble with me? Why are you so sinister and ruthless?”

“Haha.”

Crowning Lord laughed and said, “Sinister and ruthless? I don’t think so. Didn’t I help him progress and become a guru? Was it insidious?”

“You are from Nirvana!”

Fang Qiu narrowed his eyes and said, looking him straight in the eye.

Hearing that, Crowning Lord was expressionless, as if his words were meaningless to him. A faint sneer crossed his face. Then, he looked at Fang Qiu and said, “You are so eager to know my identity, but I just don’t want to tell you. How about I fulfill your wish before you die?”

“Then I’ll have to beat you up and make you say it.”

Fang Qiu snorted, clenching his right hand, and his divine sword instantly took shape!
