Medical Master

On the top of the broad Zhongnan Mountain, incomparably strong sword Qi and formidable energy Qi streams collided against one another. Some snapping sounds rang out, and clear cracks could be seen on the surface of the bluestone ground.

Everyone present held their breath and stared at the two figures in the intense fight. As they watched the increasingly fiercer fight, their hearts were in their throats.

“John Doe is going to lose.”

“Is John Doe’s undefeated legend finally going to be shattered?” The crowd exclaimed one after another.

But strangely, John Doe, who had been suppressed by his opponent and at a disadvantage in the fight, actually managed to ward off Lin Rusheng’s fierce attack with his rich close combat experience.

But even so, everyone only thought that John Doe was just putting up a desperate fight.

“Is that all you got?” Lin Rusheng seemed to be angry.

He wanted to fight a battle of ascension; thus he chose John Doe, who was known as the No.1 guru, but John Doe was no match for him at all.

“John Doe shouldn’t be this weak.

“With this kind of strength, how could he be ranked as the number one guru?”

Fang Qiu smiled suddenly.

“Phew…” He let out a long mouthful of foul air.

Swish!

The whooshing of a sword was heard.

Boom! A tornado suddenly swept around Fang Qiu, who was holding a long sword in his hand. A gush of strong and suppressing force dispersed in all directions.

He could clearly feel that his strength was growing wildly while he exchanged hundreds of moves with his opponent just now. It was just that the growing speed was so low that he had not been able to use his full strength.

But now, things became different. The progress he wanted to make during the battle had been achieved, so there was no need for him to continue to oppress himself.

Now, he decided to go all out.

“You have been holding back your strength!”

When Lin Rusheng suddenly sensed a strong aura from John Doe, he realized that John Doe had been deliberately holding back his strength in the fight, and he was enraged.

“You have your needs, and so do I,” Fang Qiu calmly replied in the face of Lin Rusheng’s interrogation. Then, he continued, “The real battle has just begun!”

Just then, he flashed backward and brandished the long sword in his right hand. In an instant, the aura the divine sword emitted merged with his own aura, forming the state of the unity of man and sword!

“Three-point Shadowless!” he shouted in his heart.

Fang Qiu waved the sword in his right hand. At the same time, there was a howling wind between heaven and earth, giving the people present a sense of oppression.

“He is finally going all out.” Lin Rusheng’s expression grew solemn when he felt that aura.

“What’s going on?”

“John Doe was at a disadvantage just now, wasn’t he? How did he manage to turn the tide in the blink of an eye?”

“I don’t understand! I really don’t know what’s going on.”

The crowd discussed among themselves.

“John Doe has been hiding his strength just now.”

Yun Yangzi was stunned by the scene before his eyes. He had never expected that John Doe actually dared to hold back his strength riskily while fighting a master like Lin Rusheng and let his opponent suppress him infinitely.

“Lunatic, he’s a lunatic truly!”

Diwu Qian was frightened and said, “If this is a battle of life and death, he is totally risking his life in exchange for cultivation improvement.”

“Improving his strength by fighting a battle, is this the reason why his cultivation has improved so quickly?”

Yun Yangzi stared deeply at John Doe, and the shock in his heart was indescribable.

In the distance, Elder Zhan pointed at John Doe in surprise and said, “This brat!!! This… He is going too far. He dared to take the risk because he knew he wouldn’t get killed, right?”

“Because he knew he wouldn’t get killed?” Diwu Mingchuan shook his head with a smile and said, “Elder Zhan, did he really know he wouldn’t get killed? Before the battle began, John Doe said that let the battle take its course, which means that he had already prepared for death. He was not cunning but tenacious, as I’ve said.”

“Brilliant!”

Patriarch Qian nodded and echoed, “This young man is very strong. I’ve never seen a man who could be so cruel to himself as to fight and improve his strength at the risk of his own life. He would either die early or become invincible for the rest of his life.”

“You’re right.” Xi Fengling also nodded in agreement and said, “He fought for it at the risk of his life. Lin Rusheng has already attacked with all his strength. He definitely didn’t hold back. If John Doe hadn’t had so much strength and courage, he would never have been able to achieve this. We can’t blame John Doe for choosing such a way to improve himself, and we may blame Lin Rusheng for not being strong enough to defeat him completely.”

As soon as he heard the three people’s words, Elder Zhan immediately let out an awkward laugh and said, “Haha, judging by what you guys are saying, this brat… really isn’t bad.”

On the stage, as Fang Qiu waved his right hand, a shadow holding a sword suddenly appeared on both his left and right side. The three of them struck out at the same time, releasing three streams of extremely sharp Sword Qi that merged together in an instant and shot toward Lin Rusheng with an overwhelming aura, like an indestructible meteor.

As the horrible Sword Qi streaked across the ground, it left a huge deep hole on the hard bluestone ground. People would find it horrifying at first glance.

“Humph, you wanna defeat me with that?” Lin Rusheng narrowed his eyes, swinging the short sword in his hand.

Boom!

An earth-shattering sword cry rang out.

When Lin Rusheng swung his short sword, the Three-point Shadowless Sword Qi continued to descend with an incomparably terrible aura and hit Lin Rusheng’s sword hard.

The next moment, the short sword shone brightly and was fiercely resisting the Three-point Shadowless Sword Qi.

Five seconds later, there was a loud bang.

The destructive Three-point Shadowless Sword Qi exploded with a loud bang.

Crackle! Crackle!

In that explosion, Lin Rusheng, under the protection of a layer of powerful internal Qi, managed to take the blow. Although he was forced to take two steps back, he was not injured at all.

“What?”

“He managed to defend himself?”

“Oh my god! Lin Rusheng actually warded off a blow from the divine sword?”

“It’s over. John Doe lost!”

“John Doe has no hope of winning since Lin Rusheng has warded off such a powerful blow.”

Everyone was shocked.

“Don’t worry, and be patient,” He Gaoming, who had been watching the battle on the other side, said nervously. “My master won’t lose! He won’t lose!”

The people around him nodded in agreement.

“He actually took it head-on?” Fang Qiu was also shocked by Lin Rusheng.

“This person actually dared to take a sword move from the Three-point Shadowless Sword? I have even defeated Sword Fanatic with that move!”

“Is that all you got?” Lin Rusheng looked up at Fang Qiu and said after taking the blow. “This blow is indeed very powerful, but not powerful enough. I need a stronger one. Show me a stronger move!”

“As you wish.” Fang Qiu took five steps backward flying, expanding the distance between them to five meters.

Lin Rusheng stared at Fang Qiu with glaring eyes.

He was waiting for John Doe to fight him with more powerful moves.

He knew very well that he couldn’t defeat John Doe even when the latter didn’t go all out, so it was even more impossible for him to defeat John Doe when the latter went all out. Therefore, his only idea now was not to defeat John Doe but to force John Doe to exert more power.

He also needed pressure so that he could gain the Ultimate Enlightenment under the enormous pressure!

Fang Qiu didn’t hesitate to strike out. Since he had gotten what he wanted from the battle and his strength had reached the current peak, what he needed to do now was to use Lin Rusheng to test how powerful the three moves of the divine sword could be and end the battle by the way!

“Driving Thunder and Slashing Demons!” he shouted in a deep voice.

He rose high into the air and waved the divine sword in front of his chest. Threads of lightning immediately flowed out of the sword and quickly expanded in all directions looking like a spider web, completely covering the whole sword.

The lightning continued to expand and eventually enveloped Fang Qiu’s body.

The next moment, the lightning shone brightly in mid-air. “Slash!” With a loud shout, Fang Qiu slashed forward with his sword.

Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!

The sounds of thunder suddenly rang out.

The originally clear sky seemed to be covered by a thick layer of dark clouds in an instant. Traces of destructive aura spread in the air, making people present feel very uncomfortable.

They took a closer look and saw that as Fang Qiu waved his sword, the lightning around his body and the divine sword shrank in an instant and then turned into a huge blade of lightning. It shot toward Lin Rusheng, carrying extremely terrifying Qi power, like thousands of horses galloping on the grassland.

“It came at the right time!” Lin Rusheng was extremely excited, throwing his sword onto the ground. Then, he stretched his arms forward in Tai Chi Postures and when the huge blade of lightning was about to hit him, he pushed forward in the air. The internal Qi in his body gushed out crazily from his palms, like a flood breaking through a dam. With the move of his palms, the internal Qi formed an enormous black and white Taiji diagram in front of him!

The next moment, there was a loud boom.

In an instant, the whole place began to shake, making ear-deafening noise!

The onlookers then saw that the blade of lightning descending from the sky left a huge crack on the enormous Taiji diagram, and the crack continued expanding quickly, and finally covered the whole Taiji diagram as the Taiji diagram resisted the blade.

In the end, there was a crisp cracking sound.

The Taiji diagram broke into shining pieces and disappeared into the air.

But at the same time, the extremely terrifying blade of lightning had been completely shattered.

Pitter-patter…

Even though the just confrontation was over, Lin Rusheng still couldn’t help but take a few steps back. Just now, he used almost all his strength to defend himself against the blow from Fang Qiu.

“It doesn’t seem to work to defend blindly.” Squinting, Lin Rusheng looked at John Doe, who was gasping lightly over there. He took a deep breath and said, “Next, it’s my turn!”

He didn’t have even the slightest feeling of ascension.

This made him very unhappy.

He knew that achieving the ascension wasn’t something that could be accomplished just with hard work, and it depended mostly on the will of the heavens.

However, even if he couldn’t make a breakthrough to the Guru Realm this time, he must win this challenge. He would never let John Doe win him.

So it was his turn to make a move this time!
