Chapter 993: 993

Divine sword?

Was Lin Rusheng asking for a divine sword?!

Was that something he deserved?

Hearing that, all the people present were stunned.

Just now, they saw the two good friends happily talking with each other. But just a second later, the situation changed, and the harmonious atmosphere instantly disappeared and was replaced by one with tensions!

This change happened too fast and too suddenly, didn’t it?

“You don’t like Guru Sword?

“Then I’ll take it back.”

In the face of this sudden change, Fang Qiu shook his head with a smile and took back Guru Sword that had just been given from Lin Rusheng’s hand.

“Since the congratulatory gift is declined, I won’t stay here any longer.”

Holding the sword, Fang Qiu immediately turned around and walked away.

If Lin Rusheng didn’t appreciate his gift, what was the point of him staying here?

“I’m not going to fucking spoil you!”

“Wait!”

Just as Fang Qiu was about to leave, Lin Rusheng took a step forward and immediately stood in front of him. He pointed at the dishes at the table and said, “Since you’re already here, how can you leave like this? The dishes at this table are all prepared for you. If you don’t drink a glass of wine, people will blame me for not receiving you well.”

“Drink, right?”

Before Fang Qiu could speak, He Gaoming, who was next to him, directly lifted the wine cup on the table and drank up a whole cup of wine. Then he slammed the wine cup on the table, reached out to grab a piece of meat from the dish plate, put it in his mouth, and said while chewing, “I’ve drunk the wine and eaten the meat. Can we leave now?”

“What right do you have to speak here?”

Lin Rusheng glanced at He Gaoming with a cold face.

“What?”

Fang Qiu reached out his hand to protect He Gaoming behind him. He confronted Lin Rusheng himself and asked with a smile, “I came to Zhongnan Mountain, and I can’t leave now?”

“You can leave. Of course, you can.”

Lin Rusheng laughed out loud and glanced at everyone present. Then he looked at Fang Qiu again and said with a sneer, “You want to leave? Fine, but before that, we have to make it clear. I’ll pretend that nothing happened. But you have to give me the divine sword first!”

As soon as he said that, the faces of all the people present suddenly changed.

Before that, many people who didn’t know Lin Rusheng felt that he had a very good relationship with John Doe. Just now, they had seen with their own eyes that Lin Rusheng had specially reserved a table in the center for John Doe. They thought that Lin Rusheng would sit with John Doe and have a good chat about the past.

Who would have thought that the atmosphere would change before their lips touched the dishes and wine?

It was completely beyond everyone’s expectations, and no one could figure out what was going on.

Compared with those who knew nothing, those who knew a little about Lin Rusheng were not too surprised. Yun Yangzi and the people of the Four Great Families on the side all looked calm.

It was like they’d expected all of this.

“Lin Rusheng, what do you mean by that?”

Before Fang Qiu spoke, He Gaoming, who was short-tempered, couldn’t stand it anymore. He immediately glared at Lin Rusheng and asked, “My master gave you face and came here with a congratulatory gift. Don’t be shameless!”

“Face?”

Lin Rusheng shook his head and said, “How much is face worth? I have just crossed the chasm and have a lot more days to live. Don’t you think I should plan for my future days carefully?

“Besides, I didn’t do anything. As long as you are willing to hand over the divine sword, you will be able to immediately go down the mountain.”

Fang Qiu narrowed his eyes.

“Why don’t you go to hell?”

He Gaoming was completely furious. He directly pointed at Lin Rusheng’s nose and shouted abuse. “Don’t pretend to be an experienced Taoist. You’re smearing the reputation of real cultivators! Do you have any shame? My master kindly helped you to break through, but you motherfucker bite the hand that feeds you. Now you want to snatch my master’s sword. Do you have any shame? Do you have a conscience?”

As soon as he said that, everyone present frowned.

Everyone knew it very well.

It was John Doe’s help that helped Lin Rusheng overcome that obstacle. If it weren’t for John Doe, he might not have been able to overcome that obstacle in his life!

Now, he crossed the chasm and held a banquet. John Doe not only came to congratulate him in person but also gave him a valuable Guru Sword.

Whether it was in value or implied meaning, Guru Sword was definitely an excellent gift.

But what about him?

He had personally invited John Doe here. Not only did he not accept John Doe’s kindness, but he also put the blame on John Doe. As He Gaoming said, he was ungrateful!

Everyone understood.

Lin Rusheng was obviously threatening him!

Although he had lost to John Doe in the last battle, now he had already crossed the chasm, and of course, his strength had greatly improved.

In this case, John Doe was definitely no match for him.

Therefore, he dared to threaten John Doe so openly and brazenly!

“The divine sword belongs to those who are fated to obtain it.”

Looking at Fang Qiu and He Gaoming, Lin Rusheng said, “The fate between you and the divine sword is over. Now the divine sword and I are destined, so just leave it to me!”

“Bullshit!”

He Gaoming cursed and said, “The divine sword belongs to my master. It has nothing to do with you!”

“Haha…”

Hearing He Gaoming’s abuse, Lin Rusheng did not get angry. Instead, he laughed and said, “Even if it had nothing to do with me before, it will definitely have something to do with me in the future.

“Since your master has helped me cross the chasm of a guru, why don’t you help me persuade him to be a good person until the end and give me the divine sword in exchange for my telling him the secret of becoming a guru? What do you think?”

As soon as he said that, the angry He Gaoming became angrier.

The secret of a guru?

“Who cares about the secret of a guru?

“Do you really think my master can’t break through to be a guru?

“He’ll show you how he does it anytime!”

However, he was still rational and did not continue to curse. Instead, he left it to John Doe.

How should he choose?

All the people present frowned and looked forward to John Doe’s choice.

Divine sword, the one and only in the world!

It bore unimaginable strength. The sword also played a big role in John Doe defeating Sword Fanatic and Lin Rusheng. It could be said that it was the top treasure in the world!

But the secret of breaking through to the Guru Realm?

That was the biggest temptation in the world, and the hardest to resist.

Some people would never be able to overcome that chasm in their entire lives.

Even if John Doe showed the best strength and potential, no one knew whether John Doe would be stuck at the pass that ordinary people could not get through.

It was not as if there had never been such a person in history.

There were many talents who had already touched the threshold of the Guru Realm but could not cross it in their lifetime.

It was really difficult to choose between the two!

“I don’t care!”

Under everyone’s gaze, Fang Qiu smiled faintly at Lin Rusheng and replied nonchalantly.

“Hmm?”

Lin Rusheng seemed to be slightly surprised when he heard John Doe’s reply, and the indifferent smile on his face instantly vanished while a wisp of piercing coldness surged out from the depths of his eyes.

“John Doe, are you not going to give me face?” Lin Rusheng asked coldly.

“Respect is something you fight for yourself!”

Fang Qiu replied fearlessly and then added, “Besides, not everything in the world has face. I only give face to people!”

As soon as he said that, the audience burst into an uproar!

“What the fuck, John Doe really dares to say that.”

“Does he not see Lin Rusheng as a human?”

“Awesome. It’s the first time that I’ve seen someone who doesn’t take a guru seriously!”

“It seems that this matter will end badly.”

“Lin Rusheng’s thoughts must be rotten. It’s fine if he’s ungrateful, but now he’s repaying kindness with hate?”

“John Doe is really awesome. That’s why he’s a genius who has never lost before!”

Everyone discussed in a low voice.

Of course, due to the fact that Lin Rusheng was present, everyone was careful with their words. No one dared to say anything outrageous out of fear of angering Lin Rusheng.

However, in their hearts, they were all secretly applauding.

This Lin Rusheng was simply too shameless.

It was the first time that everyone had seen someone being so shameless and bold!

“Hmph!”

Fang Qiu’s retort instantly made Lin Rusheng furious. A stream of killing intent suddenly surged out of his body. While staring at Fang Qiu coldly, he said, “Do you know why I chose this place?

“I was defeated by you that day.

“I wonder if I can learn some moves from you again today!”

Boom!

An incomparably powerful Qi power burst forth from his body. In fact, it even blew away the dishes on the surrounding tables.

Seeing this, everyone present felt that a battle was inevitable.

With that in mind, many people stood up and retreated to the periphery.

Some were still holding wine jugs and others plates of food.

Even Yun Yangzi and the members of the Four Great Families beside John Doe and Lin Rusheng stood up and slowly left.

This time, Yun Yangzi and Diwu Qian did not stand up to help John Doe.

Although they had formed a good relationship with John Doe and wanted to build a deeper relationship with him, this matter had already involved a guru, so it was not up to them to decide. They had to consider their families. A guru was still a big threat to their families.

However, they felt ashamed of Lin Rusheng in their hearts!

They were also worried about John Doe.

After all, he was a Half-step Guru.

The two looked at each other and nodded.

They understood what each other meant.

If John Doe was in trouble, they would stop Lin Rusheng and immediately take John Doe away!

Diwu Qian stared at the familiar face of John Doe in the field. There was no trace of panic on his face, as if everything was under control.

When she looked at Lin Rusheng, her face darkened.

“Father’s judgment was correct at the time.”

She recalled what her father Diwu Mingchuan had said when he found out that Lin Rusheng had stepped over the chasm.

Now, it seemed…

This Lin Rusheng was indeed narrow-minded.

“I really don’t know how this kind of person succeeded!”

Could it be that heaven was blind?

At the same time, everyone retreated to the periphery.

Everyone’s eyes were fixed on John Doe and Lin Rusheng.

At the same time, they despised Lin Rusheng even more in their hearts.

“Damn, isn’t this Lin Rusheng too shameless?”

“He’s helped you before, yet you still have the nerve to bully the weak?”

“You ungrateful wretch!”

In the field, “You go and watch over there.”

Fang Qiu glanced at He Gaoming, pushed him gently on his shoulder with his right hand, and directly pushed He Gaoming toward Yun Yangzi and Diwu Qian.

Seeing this, both of them reached out at the same time to stop He Gaoming, who had just stopped and was about to rush in again.

In the field, “You really want to fight?”

Fang Qiu looked at Lin Rusheng indifferently.
