Chapter 889 Life and Death Crisis Brought by the Breakthrough
Looking at the two moves which finally froze in the consciousness s.p.a.ce, Fang Qiu had a different feeling.
Over more than 2,200 years, the sword moves of the divine sword were unique moves that no one was able to comprehend. However, these moves were replaced by his Great Hand of Destruction and s.p.a.ce-splitting Sea-cracking Sword as soon as he comprehended them.
It seemed that it was more exciting than getting the recognition of the divine sword.
“If I hadn’t mastered strong enough sword moves, I’m afraid I wouldn’t be recognized by the divine sword.
“No wonder no one has comprehended it for more than 2,200 years. A super expert with such a powerful sword move will never hit the stele with his strongest sword move!
“Moreover, the three moves of the divine sword are impeccable, which were much more powerful than what people would expect.
“I have to say that I got really lucky!”
In the consciousness s.p.a.ce, although the three sword moves that belonged to the divine sword had disappeared, he still memorized them because he had seen them demonstrated once.
Even if they were not as good as the Great Hand of Destruction and the s.p.a.ce-splitting Sea-cracking Sword, the three sword moves were definitely much more powerful than the ordinary sword moves. They might come in handy in the future.
After memorizing the sword moves, Fang Qiu was thinking about how to return to reality.
Suddenly, several light shadows freezing in the consciousness s.p.a.ce flashed and charged into his body again.
As the light shadows entered his body, Fang Qiu was stunned at first.
Then, he suddenly felt that something in his body was flowing as if it was the energy produced by taking a Heaven Treasure. After entering his body, it immediately rushed into Fang Qiu’s meridians like fierce floods and savage beasts madly charging inside.
“Oh, no!!” Feeling the strangeness in his body, Fang Qiu cried in his heart, and his expression suddenly became solemn because he found that as soon as the light shadows entered his meridians, they immediately rushed toward the next meridian that had not been reopened as if they were forcing him to break through.
This was undoubtedly a great thing for other people, but for Fang Qiu, it was a matter of life and death because he was only a step away from reaching the eighth cla.s.s.
If he wanted to break through, he had to take out the Heaven Treasure as soon as possible to help him reopen the next Meridian while making a breakthrough.
But the most important thing was that he didn’t bring any Heaven Treasure at all!
Without the a.s.sistance of the Heaven Treasure, how could he reopen his meridian?
If the internal Qi overflowed, his meridians would explode. By then, he would be doomed!
In this case, Fang Qiu who remained silent frowned and immediately tried to suppress it.
However, it was too late.
With an indomitable momentum, the fierce light shadows went straight into his Dai Meridian as if it wanted to break through the meridian directly before it stopped.
“Stop it!!!” While feeling anxious, Fang Qiu didn’t dare to neglect at all. He instantly activated all the internal Qi in his body, ready to suppress the impact of the breakthrough brought by the light shadows with force.
However, just as he was running his internal Qi, the light shadows suddenly disappeared.
They were replaced by abundant internal Qi.
The gust of internal Qi belonged to Fang Qiu himself, but it was mixed with a flow of very strange energy that appeared because of the divine sword entering his body.
It was this flow of energy that led his internal Qi to rush to the Dai Meridian.
Although he detected this, the internal Qi that was drawn by the strange energy had already rushed into the Dai Meridian. As long as all the acupoints in the meridian were opened, the Dai Meridian would be reopened!
“Stop! Stop it!” Fang Qiu shouted in his heart.
He was fully aware that he was confronted with a life and death situation now.
If he was really led to a breakthrough by this energy, not only would he not be able to reopen his meridian, but everyone on the Sword-hidden Mountain would also become his enemy in an instant.
He would break through as soon as the sword shadows entered his body.
Wasn’t this specifically telling these people that the divine sword was strikingly powerful?
Even a super expert like John Doe could immediately break through the moment he got the divine sword, let alone the others.
From this point of view, the effect of this divine sword was comparable to that of the top ten Heaven Treasures!
Who wouldn’t want such a treasure?
The most important thing was that once he broke through, the cracks in his meridians would immediately appear. At that time, without the protection of the Heaven Treasure, all of his meridians would be destroyed!
Hence, he must stop it!
Feeling his internal Qi charge forward step by step, Fang Qiu gritted his teeth and suppressed it forcibly.
Ultimately, when the gust of internal Qi came to the last acupuncture point of Dai Meridian, it stopped!
“Oh!” The moment Fang Qiu stopped the internal Qi, he held back a mouthful of blood, feeling that the smell of blood in his throat was particularly strong.
“Poof—” He spat out a mouthful of blood.
Fortunately, he stopped it.
The internal Qi stopped in front of the last acupuncture point. If this point was broken, it would be too late.
“Whew…” While suppressing the feeling of breaking through forcibly, Fang Qiu also smoothly withdrew from his consciousness s.p.a.ce and returned to the real world.
“Fortunately, the light shadows are gentle and not as destructive as the sword Qi. Otherwise, the destruction this time might make me suffer more than spitting out a few mouthfuls of blood.”
Letting out a long breath, Fang Qiu secretly calculated and murmured, “I must find the Heaven Treasure ranked among the top 20 within five days. Otherwise, my meridians will be destroyed after five days!”
He was suddenly overwhelmed with considerable pressure.
He was overjoyed a moment ago. But now, he felt devastated.
How could a Heaven Treasure be found so easily?
Moreover, it must be a Heaven Treasure ranked among the top 20.
This essential condition made it even more difficult to find one.
Could he really find it in five days?
In front of the Sword Enlightenment Stele, as soon as people got over the shock of the appearance of the divine sword, they saw John Doe bend his back and spit out a mouthful of blood.
It stunned everyone around.
“What’s going on?”
“What happened to John Doe?”
“Is he injured? But those shadows were not real at all. How could they hurt John Doe?”
“What the h.e.l.l is going on?”
As they were confused, everyone’s eyes were fixed on John Doe.
But they found that after John Doe vomited blood, he wiped his mouth and was about to leave.
At this time, everyone was slightly stunned.
“He left just like that?”
“What does this mean?”
“Where’s the divine sword?”
“What about those sword shadows?”
At this moment, one of them suddenly shouted, “The divine sword is gone. Is it taken away by John Doe?”
As they heard that, everyone came to their senses in an instant.
“d.a.m.n, the divine sword is in John Doe’s body. Obviously, John Doe got it!”
Such simple words immediately attracted countless people to look at Fang Qiu greedily. There were people staring at him from all directions. Everyone’s eyes were imbued with greed for the divine sword!
“I can’t stay here for long.” Fang Qiu’s expression suddenly became serious.
The people around him could not pose much of a threat to him, but he could clearly feel that there were already experts coming here.
With his current situation, it would be more dangerous for him to stay here for another minute!
He must find the Heaven Treasure as soon as possible!
With this thought in mind, he immediately stepped forward.
“Pitter-patter…” But at this moment, the people around him quickly walked up to him and formed a circle with others, directly surrounding Fang Qiu.
“Get out of my way!” Fang Qiu’s face darkened and he shouted coldly.
However, people still surrounded him as if they didn’t hear him. They didn’t intend to give way at all!
It was not that they didn’t want to leave, but they didn’t dare to do that!
Most of them had forces behind them. They came here to serve the forces they belonged to.
Now that they finally saw the legendary divine sword, how could they let John Doe leave so easily?
If John Doe left, what should they do if their forces blamed them?
Therefore, while they were besieging John Doe, many people in the periphery were trying to contact the forces behind them, hoping to be instructed what to do.
Anyway, they would never dare to let John Doe go before they received the instruction of the forces behind them!
“Get out of my way right now!” Looking at these people in front of him, Fang Qiu snorted angrily and said, “If you don’t move, don’t blame me for being merciless!”
The internal Qi in his body instantly surged.
He didn’t want to hurt them, but if these people didn’t back down, he was going to take action!
Everyone hesitated.
The rumors about John Doe’s strength already intimidated them. If they really irritated John Doe, how could they keep alive?
“Swoos.h.!.+” Just when everyone found it hard to make a choice, a harsh sound of wind breaking was suddenly heard.
Everyone turned to take a look.
They saw that a shadow jumped down from the sky in the distance. He was as light as an agile wild cat. When he landed on the ground, he didn’t even shake a speck of dust!
As they took a closer look, it was an old man carrying a sword.
“Where is the sword?” As soon as the old man arrived, he turned around and asked, his eyes lighting up.
“Sword Fanatic!!!”
There was a sudden burst of exclamation in the crowd.
Not just one person, but a group of people were extremely shocked by the old man’s appearance.
No one knew his name. They only knew that he was referred to as Sword Fanatic. Perhaps because his name was so famous, people in Wulin and even himself forgot his real name!
“Where is the sword? Where is the sword?” He looked around and did not see the divine sword, so he immediately turned to ask the people next to him.
As soon as he asked, everyone rapidly turned to look at Fang Qiu.
The Sword Fanatic immediately understood what they meant and directly stared at Fang Qiu.
Without saying a word, he reached out his right hand to Fang Qiu and asked for the sword. He said, “Give me the sword! You don’t deserve it. I’m the only one worthy of it in this world!”
“Why?” Faced with the Sword Fanatic’s demand, Fang Qiu sneered.
He did not deny that he had obtained the sword. However, there was no way to deny it, and he didn’t want to do that either.
Fang Qiu didn’t expect that he would come so fast.
“The Divine Sword belongs to the destined one. The sword is mine since I comprehended it. The Divine Sword has already made its own choice whether I deserve it or not. If you are capable, why didn’t the Divine Sword choose you?”
Sword Fanatic said naturally, “That’s because I didn’t come earlier! Now I’m here. The divine sword will definitely belong to me. Even if you are one step ahead of me, the divine sword will still be mine since I’m here now. You’d better hand over the divine sword obediently, or I will beat you until you give it to me!”
While he was talking, the old man’s body moved. His left hand put the long sword wrapped in rags behind his back. His right hand made a knife-shaped palm blow, directly attacking Fang Qiu like a sharp sword!
