Chapter 1187 Breaking Through to the Guru Before the Battle!

He shot a fearful glance at Fang Qiu and his expression turned sullen.

His face darkened with anger. As he frowned unhappily, he instantly released the walking stick that he had been clutching tightly. Meanwhile, his eyes were sparkling with blazing green light, and he stretched out his hands, palms up.

“Up!”

A deep growl.

The nine dark green crows frozen in mid-air began to rise, though still under constraint.

“Are you going to take this seriously?”

Seeing the old man’s action, Fang Qiu cracked a smile.

Earlier, when the elder urged the crows to attack him again, Fang Qiu directly released his Divine Consciousness and mounted a strong counterattack against the nine crows.

Divine Consciousness, a combination of spiritual force and internal Qi, in addition to exploring the area it covered, could also launch an offensive attack!

It was just that Fang Qiu seldom used it.

Now that he had met an opponent with similar skills, he chose to activate his Divine Consciousness to fight against the elder!

However…

As soon as his Divine Consciousness spread, it surprisingly suppressed his rival.

It was why the nine crows suddenly stopped in mid-air.

Fang Qiu’s Divine Consciousness was potent. The second it was released, it directly suppressed his opponent’s spiritual force, which influenced his precise control of his internal Qi. Even worse, under the tremendous pressure from Fang Qiu’s Divine Consciousness, his spiritual force briefly lost control over his internal Qi.

The old man didn’t expect this result.

Shortly after the out-of-control moment, he regained control and focused on controlling instead of attacking!

Nevertheless, for the old man, controlling was attacking!

As long as he attained the acme of perfection in control, he could launch a top-notch attack!

“Noisy.”

Hearing Fang Qiu’s laughter, the old man snorted angrily and said, “I came to Huaxia for the ancient ruin, so I don’t have time to play with you. Go to hell!”

His voice faded.

Like flames, a blast of dark green internal Qi suddenly shot out from his palms parallel to the ground before his chest.

Then it turned into wisps of fog and dispersed in all directions.

Meanwhile, the nine dark green crows rising high in the sky scattered in an instant, turning into wisps of dark green fog, which began floating around.

“Hmm?”

Fang Qiu was slightly stunned as he glanced around. When he saw numerous fog wisps gathering so close to him, his face changed slightly as if he had noticed something horrifying.

“Giggle, giggle…”

The elder suddenly had a fit of the giggles.

As he laughed, he stared at Fang Qiu coldly and shouted fiercely, “Poison-refining Furnace!”

“Buzz…”

As soon as he finished speaking, creepy whistling sounds came from all directions as if there was a gust of wind coming.

He stared at his surroundings intently.

At this time, amid tremendous whistling and howling sounds, the green fog between heaven and earth started revolving clockwise like a tangible gust of wind and formed a huge green screen, which enveloped both Fang Qiu and himself.

Seeing this, Fang Qiu frowned

He immediately clenched the divine sword in his hand and secretly ran his internal Qi.

“Boy, time to die!”

As the green energy which was rotating at high speed came to shroud Fang Qiu, the old man started to giggle and then he roared angrily. He withdrew his hands that had been placed horizontally before his chest. With a jerk, he pulled out the walking stick inserted deep into the ground and raised it toward the sky.

“Myriad Poison Blades!”

Just like a witch from antiquity times, the elder raised the cane in his hand over his head and thundered. In response, numerous green energy emerged and floated about this space covered by green energy- like snakes. In the twinkling of an eye, all of them turned into palm-sized sharp knives.

The old man waved his arm downward.

From all directions, the thickly dotted knives darted toward Fang Qiu like tens of thousands of fast-moving feather arrows, intending to pierce his heart!

“What a familiar scene!”

At this moment, Fang Qiu muttered to himself and abruptly looked up at the mass of highly-toxic energy blades flying rapidly toward him from all directions. Without hesitation, he wielded the long sword in his hand.

“Tiangang Kills Demons!”

With a fierce shout, Fang Qiu directly launched his long-premeditated third move of the divine sword!

This scene was familiar to him.

It was because he had faced a similar situation in Zhongdong.

Back then, his opponent was Thomas, a Half-step Guru like this elder, who ranked second on the world’s killer list!

Their only difference was Thomas hid by turning into a blanket of black mist to attack Fang Qiu, while the elder sealed himself in the fog to attack Fang Qiu!

Even their assault tactics were the same. Thomas chose the Ice Blade, while the old man in front of him used poison blades!

However…

Unfortunately for the elder.

Fang Qiu knew the art of Tiangang Kills Demons.

It was a particular counterattack against all similar enclosure-hunting attacks!

Those poisonous blades were coming rapidly toward him.

Fang Qiu unleashed the Tiangang Kills Demons skill. With Fang Qiu’s body as the center, wherever his long sword passed, there would be a burst of horrifying astral energy from the sword!

The astral energy of the sword was sharper than the elder’s poisonous blades!

“Boom!”

The moment the astral energy of the sword touched the poisonous blades, it suddenly expanded!

In a flash, it turned into an incomparably horrible tornado. As Fang Qiu swung his arm, the tremendous astral energy from the sword spun fast, sweeping wildly in all directions. Almost instantly, it blasted the elder’s green energy shield to pieces!

“Hmm?”

Obviously, the old man didn’t expect Fang Qiu to make such a move. He instantly lowered his right hand which was holding the crutch high, and then moved his hands. The huge green energy cover collapsed instantly.

But the next moment, the green energy from the shattered shield condensed into dense green poisonous blades. Under the old man’s control, these deadly blades began to rotate wildly, gathering into an equally substantial green tornado. With a bang, it crashed head-on into Fang Qiu’s sword’s astral energy!

Terrifying energy fluctuations spread wildly in all directions, centering on where they collided.

Fang Qiu felt considerable pressure that he rarely encountered with this fearsome collision!

On the other side, under the enormous pressure, the old man watched open-eyed, as he flushed right up to his temples.

Fang Qiu was surprised to find that the elder had no fear of death!

The old man clearly knew that he couldn’t resist the sharp astral energy of the sword, but still, he gathered all his internal Qi to meet this face-to-face confrontation regardless of everything!

“Could it be that…”

Seeing that the other side kept forcing himself to run his internal Qi to resist the astral energy of the sword, Fang Qiu was stunned, and an idea came to his mind.

“Is he going to make a breakthrough?”

Fang Qiu hardly had time to ponder about this guess.

“Bang!”

An earth-shattering explosion suddenly sounded inside the old man.

An unparalleled scary energy fluctuation, accompanied by a powerful pressure that only a guru could generate, suddenly surged out of the elder.

“Ha-ha…”

The old man, wild with joy, burst out in a fit of violent laughter.

Absolutely!

Just now, he was making a breakthrough by taking advantage of Fang Qiu.

It was very difficult for practitioners like him to break through. The difficulty lay not only in his realm but also in the quantity of his internal Qi!

Over the years, he neither reached the realm nor gathered enough internal Qi to support his breakthrough.

But…

When Fang Qiu suppressed his spiritual force in the middle of their fight, he located and seized the opportunity to make a breakthrough. However, the amount of internal Qi was still not enough. Thus, he had a brainwave and found a good solution. Even though he knew he was at a disadvantage, he braced himself up to confront Fang Qiu head-on. By doing so, he could stimulate himself to produce the last traces of internal Qi he needed from within to make a breakthrough!

After all, he was old. Now spotting a chance to break through, he had to give it a try!

To his great surprise, he succeeded!

“Indeed, I made a breakthrough.”

Hearing his ecstatic laughter, Fang Qiu didn’t say anything but immediately controlled the astral energy of the sword to pin him down using all his strength.

However, the old man promptly withdrew, dodging aside to avoid this energy.

“Humph!”

With a cold snort, Fang Qiu drove the astral energy of the sword to go on suppressing the old man. Meanwhile, he flashed aside and directly rushed toward the elder at his fastest speed.

“Hahaha… I feel so good. I’ll turn you into a poisonous corpse now!”

The old man guffawed, swinging his right hand.

He delivered a punch filled with dark green energy, which then collided with the astral energy of the sword and temporarily stopped it. After that, he stood on tiptoe and dashed toward Fang Qiu, stretching his right arm covered with a layer of dark green poisonous gas to slap Fang Qiu!

Fang Qiu was not afraid at all.

He also launched a sudden palm strike.

“Great Hand of Formlessness!”

A great cry rang out.

Their palms bumped violently!

“Bang!”

There was a loud noise the next moment.

Under the tremendous impact of the elder, Fang Qiu didn’t retreat but instead knocked back all the poisonous gas that tried to get close to attack him.

Fang Qiu’s hefty slap also landed on the elder.

Half of his body’s internal Qi was ejected and dispersed in the air in an instant. The elder failed to keep it in with his spiritual force!

“You’re courting death!”

The old man immediately flew into a rage.

He had just accumulated enough internal Qi, but Fang Qiu instantly slapped him out of the state of a breakthrough that he had just entered.

Without enough internal Qi, he instantly lost the rare opportunity to break through; he had been that close!

How could he break through if he didn’t have enough internal Qi?”

In a violent rage, the old man almost lost his mind and rushed crazily toward Fang Qiu, filled with intense killing intent!

But he seemed to have forgotten that the appalling astral energy of the sword was right beside him.

“Swish.”

Under Fang Qiu’s control, it directly cracked the energy ball shot out by the elder and rushed over. Before the old man could even reach Fang Qiu, it instantly swallowed him up.

The old man, blinded by anger, suddenly came to his senses.

It was a pity.

But it was too late.

The second before the elder was dragged into the astral energy of the sword, Fang Qiu flew straight up and clenched his right hand into a fist.

“Bang!”

He smashed his fist down on the elder’s chest.

“Puff.”

Before the old man could react, he felt a cloyingly sweet taste in his throat and could not help spitting out a mouthful of blood.

His eyes were filled with great discontent.
