Chapter 894: 894

“Marvelous! This is marvelous! John Doe is really a master. How could he get such a powerful sword formation?”

“Boss, where did you get such a powerful sword formation?”

While everyone was shocked, they all asked.

“This is not the strongest state of the formation yet.” Fang Qiu shook his head with a smile while facing everyone’s inquiry.

Everyone was appalled as he said that.

“What?”

“Isn’t this the strongest?”

“No way. This state can even fight against a seventh-class Martial Superior. How come this is not the strongest?”

“It can not only fight against the seventh-class Martial Superior but it can even defeat one.”

Everyone began to exclaim with surprise.

“Yes!” Looking at the surprised look of everyone including He Gaoming and the other eight people, Fang Qiu nodded with certainty and said, “If we want to exert the true power of this sword formation, we need to let each one of you have an ancient sword. When I finish the battle the day after tomorrow, I will find the ancient swords for you!”

Everyone was shocked as they heard that.

“Ancient swords?”

“Didn’t they disappear in the long history of Wulin?”

“It was said that there were ancient swords in those aristocratic families and major forces, but they were regarded as heirlooms that couldn’t be seen easily.”

“But John Doe could actually get the ancient swords.”

“Even if it was not an ancient sword in Wulin, it was still an antique. It must be expensive!”

“Can he get it as he wishes?”

“Fight with antiques? That’s a bit extravagant.”

The way that people looked at Fang Qiu changed.

They were wondering if their boss was a rich second generation who could get ancient swords at will!

Maybe it was like what was written in the novel. John Doe found some secret place left by ancient people and could get anything from it. He could simply get a sword formation if he wanted it.

And he could get the divine sword as he wished!

“If that was the case, that would be great!”

“This is our boss. As long as we can follow the boss, he can take whatever he wants and we’ll take the rest.”

Fang Qiu couldn’t imagine these people having such queer thoughts.

He simply instructed, “Well, continue to practice and familiarize yourself with this sword formation. It’s best if you can fully master it.”

Then he left and quietly came to the Sword-hidden Mountain alone.

He was going to verify his feelings and thoughts at that time.

However, he did not go to the front.

Instead, he came to the side of the Sword-hidden Mountain.

It could be imagined how many people were rushing to the mountain to occupy a good position on the front of the entire Sword-hidden Mountain. They were waiting to see the battle between him and the Sword Fanatic!

As for the side of the mountain, there were almost no people. Only one or two people would pass by occasionally, and they would not stay for long.

After standing on the hillside on the side of the Sword-hidden Mountain for a while, Fang Qiu closed his eyes and recalled the magical feeling he sensed when he gained the recognition of the divine sword, as well as the peculiar sensation. Soon, he found a spot.

The place that attracted him at that time was not far away.

“Over there!”

Fang Qiu flashed and immediately came to the spot.

After looking around and making sure that there was no one around, he immediately began to mobilize his internal Qi to dig.

It didn’t take long for him to dig out an ancient bronze sword!

It was none other than a Qin Bronze Ancient Sword!

“It sure has!” As he saw the ancient sword, Fang Qiu’s eyes lit up.

That was to say, his vague feelings back then were right.

There were many similar ancient swords in the Sword-hidden Mountain, which was exactly what he had speculated.

While he was overjoyed, Fang Qiu immediately took out the sword and leveled the ground that had been dug. Then he turned around and rushed to several high mountains not far away.

Of course, he did not intend to dig out all the ancient swords because now the Sword-hidden Mountain was bustling with people.

Once the trace of digging the sword was found, the Sword-hidden Mountain would definitely be turned upside down by these people.

Putting aside the fact that the ancient sword was several times stronger than the long sword made by modern craftsmanship, the value of the ancient sword was also irresistible to many martial arts practitioners!

Such a sword was worth tens of millions.

It was no more than digging a mountain. Compared with making a fortune, digging a mountain was nothing.

After all, there was no lack of smart and profit-seeking people in this world.

Taking this into consideration, he didn’t go digging. He just wanted to confirm what he was thinking.

“That’s enough. I would think about other things after I figure it out.”

Soon, without anyone noticing, Fang Qiu quickly came to a mountain range not far away. In the depths of the mountain, he chose a flat place where no one would disturb him and began to practice the three strikes brought by the divine sword with the ancient sword in his hand.

The first move: Three-point Shadowless.

The second move: Driving Thunder and Slashing Demons.

The third move: Tiangang Kills Demons!

In the consciousness space, Fang Qiu practiced these three strikes very well, but this was his first practice in real life.

As for the Great Hand of Destruction and the Space-splitting Sea-cracking Sword, Fang Qiu didn’t need to practice them at all because he was extremely proficient in these two moves.

Time flew by.

The Sword-hidden Mountain became more and more lively.

Martial artists came from all over the country.

Originally, the Sword-hidden Mountain was desolate, but in the blink of an eye, it became crowded as if no one had the feeling of being suppressed by the sword tip when they went into the mountain.

The first thing everyone did when they came to the Sword-hidden Mountain was to find a good place.

Some of them even brought a small stool to fight for a good place to watch the upcoming battle…

Certainly, there were also numerous powerful experts who did not want to fight for seats. They chose to run directly to the Sword Enlightenment Stele and begin to meditate, hoping to gain some enlightenment.

After all, the legend did not say that how many divine swords were hidden in the Sword-hidden Mountain.

What if there were more?

What if there were a lot of swords? They thought that they could get them as long as they comprehended!

As for the places to watch the battle, the experts didn’t have to worry at all. At that time, even if the good spots were occupied, they would directly walk up and those who were inferior to them would only give way to them.

This was not bullying the weak as the stronger one.

It was because people in Wulin were very polite to the senior experts. After all, the weaker ones also needed the protection of the experts when they were watching the battle. Otherwise, they would literally vomit blood as soon as they were swept by a gust of energy Qi. How could they watch the battle by then?

The most important thing was that there was an expert to provide an explanation if they couldn’t see or understand anything. It was great to have a free narrator!

Just as the Sword-hidden Mountain was bustling with people, a white shadow slowly walked over.

In the beginning, no one noticed this white shadow. Only the people in front of him would move away respectfully when they saw this person.

Under these circumstances, the white shadow moved forward smoothly all the way!

He went straight to the Sword Enlightenment Stele.

Only then did everyone notice him.

“Yun Yangzi?”

“It really is Yun Yangzi. I can tell at a glance that he is very powerful.”

“Are you kidding me? Yun Yangzi was the best among the younger generation! I was also there when he fought with John Doe last time. His strength isn’t inferior to John Doe’s, but John Doe is slightly more powerful than him.”

“Judged from his aura, he doesn’t look like an ordinary person!”

“What is he going to do?”

“Does it want to comprehend the Sword Enlightenment Stele?”

As everyone was confused, Yun Yangzi sat down cross-legged in front of the Sword Enlightenment Stele and began to meditate.

At this time, several conspicuous figures appeared in succession.

First, it was Diwu Qian.

Like Yun Yangzi, Diwu Qian immediately sat down in front of the stele and began to meditate as soon as she arrived.

Then came Mu Rufeng and Feng Yiming.

In addition to the top ten experts on the Wulin Genius List, there were also some martial arts experts of the older generation who came to meditate under the sword stele.

They didn’t affect each other.

As more and more experts came to meditate, the noisy discussions around them gradually died down. No one dared to make any noise, for fear of disturbing these experts.

But time passed quickly.

It was half-past eleven in the morning, which was the appointed time for the duel between John Doe and the Sword Fanatic.

It seemed as if an alarm had been set.

At this moment, all the people who were meditating under the Sword Enlightenment Stele opened their eyes and stood up.

“Whew…” Yun Yangzi heaved a sigh of relief as he looked at the inky black Sword Enlightenment Stele. After which, he turned to glance at Diwu Qian beside him.

While she met Yun Yangzi’s gaze, Diwu Qian shook her head gently, and then they looked at the others.

The others also shook their heads.

“It’s hard!” Yun Yangzi said blandly.

“Yes.” Diwu Qian nodded and said, “There’s no way to start.”

Mu Rufeng smiled wryly and said, “It’s indeed difficult. How did John Doe figure it out? What could he comprehend with such a big stone with one word?”

Everyone nodded in agreement.

They were all prominent figures on the Wulin Genius List. In terms of aptitude and comprehension, they were not as good as John Doe, but they were definitely the best among all the people present.

Even so, they didn’t comprehend anything after such a long time. Moreover, they didn’t even know where to start.

How were they supposed to comprehend?

Everyone smiled bitterly.

“Swish!” At this time, a harsh air-breaking sound was heard.

Everyone turned to have a look.

High in the sky, a figure flew over like a bolt of lightning from the mountain hundreds of meters away.

Everyone fixed their eyes on it.

The person who came was wearing cotton clothes made of rags and a ragged scarf on his head. Although he was old, he looked like a sharp sword out of its sheath, so sharp that no one dared to approach him!

“Sword Fanatic!”

Someone said, “Look at the trees and grass he passed by.”

Everyone turned to look.

Wherever the Sword Fanatic passed by, most of the flowers and plants were inexplicably cut into pieces. Even deep marks combined like a fishing net appeared on the bark of several nearby trees.

“It’s so horrible!”

“Is this sword momentum?”

“I’ve long heard that the Sword Fanatic has cultivated the sword momentum to the peak, so he carried sword Qi with him. He can even release sword Qi with a casual move!”

“It’s amazing. He just took advantage of the counter force to tread in the air, but he already caused such terrifying damage. It’s hard to imagine how powerful he would be if he used all his strength!”

The Sword Fanatic ignored the people who were talking about him. After arriving, he held the sword, closed his eyes, and stood in the middle of the wide field in front of the Sword Enlightenment Stele, waiting for John Doe.

After a short while, a figure appeared quietly in the midst of people’s discussion.

Before everyone could react, a shadow rushed over from the distance and instantly stopped in front of the Sword Fanatic.

When he stopped, the field was in an uproar in a flash.

John Doe was here!

“Here you are.” The moment Fang Qiu appeared, the Sword Fanatic, who had closed his eyes to rest, suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Fang Qiu. He could see no one else in his eyes.

In an instant, everyone’s hearts were burning with enthusiasm.

They all knew that the great battle was about to begin.

Under the lead of Yun Yangzi and the others, everyone retreated one after another, leaving the entire empty space where the Enlightenment Sword was located to the two of them.
