Chapter 1059: 1059

Looking at the escaping man, Fang Qiu didn’t chase after him though he was able to kill that person on the spot. He believed that this person being alive would be more useful to him than being dead.

There were two reasons why Fang Qiu let that person off. One was that this man was hostile toward the Gospel Division, and the other was that the situation in Zhongdong was very chaotic.

The people in Zhongdong were all living in misery.

For those terrorists, wars meant opportunities and profits. That was why Zhongdong had always been chaotic.

Different from others, this middle-aged, fat man was a top expert of the Truth Division.

If the Truth Division lost this expert and the other two forces found out about it, the situation of balance between those forces would change, and it was likely that those forces would start a war. By then, the people in Zhongdong would suffer.

Although Fang Qiu really wanted to wipe out those forces one by one, the current situation was too complicated and it was obviously not the right time for him to deal with them now.

Now, he could only take one step at a time.

“Phew…”

After the middle-aged man disappeared, Fang Qiu took a deep breath, opened the plutonium material map, and took a look. After making sure that it was real, he immediately put it away.

“Next, the Truth Division would begin hunting the sorcerers from Murica.”

With a stir of his mind, Fang Qiu immediately took off his mask and burned it into ashes with his internal Qi.

Then, he changed all his clothes and disguised himself as John Doe again.

After that, he patted his clothes gently and stood where he was, starting to wait.

“Whoosh…”

After a while, a night breeze blew past.

With the wind, a mass of black mist approached Fang Qiu from behind, and it was less than three meters away from him.

Under the cover of the dark night, a hand holding a three-edged military knife reached out from the black mist and stabbed toward the back of Fang Qiu’s head.

However, the moment the hand moved, Fang Qiu immediately turned around and looked at the hand that suddenly appeared as if he had expected it. “I’ve been waiting for you for a long time,” he said.

As soon as he said that, the hand, which was about to retract, reached out again. Then, a person walked out of the black mist.

This person was no other than Thomas!

“You were actually able to discover me?”

Thomas looked at Fang Qiu with suspicion written all over his face.

“Who are you?” asked Fang Qiu.

“I’m the person who is here to take your life.”

Thomas laughed before adding, “However, I have changed my mind now.”

As the number two killer in the world, Thomas knew very well about the rules of killers.

Among those rules, the first one was that a killer should never expose himself in front of his target even if the target was dead.

Thomas had never broken this rule since the day he became a killer.

He had wanted to leave the moment Fang Qiu discovered him, but he didn’t in the end because he had changed his mind.

After watching the battle between Fang Qiu and the middle-aged, fat man, a battle that he shouldn’t watch, and seeing the map that was worth one billion dollars, he changed his mind.

He now wanted to kill John Doe and seize the map.

“Well?”

Fang Qiu looked at him with great interest and said, “I’ve changed my mind, too. How about you tell me how you changed your mind?”

“Give me the map.” Thomas stretched out his hand directly to Fang Qiu.

“Are you going to take just the map or both the map and my life?” asked Fang Qiu.

“Give me the map and I can give you a quick death,” Thomas said with a sneer.

“Well, this condition sounds quite tempting.”

Fang Qiu smiled indifferently, then shook his head and asked, “Don’t you want to know how I changed my mind?”

“Hmm?”

Thomas narrowed his eyes threateningly. Apparently, he thought that Fang Qiu was being a little noisy.

“You followed that fat man from the Truth Division just to track me down, because you knew that I would follow that man and seize the map from him.

“But you didn’t expect to see a strong sorcerer from Murica who defeated and drove away that fat man. For the sake of your country, you decided not to interfere in it. But just as you were about to leave quietly, you found that the sorcerer from Murica turned out to be someone else, and you were shocked yet surprised because your target showed up and brought you a chance to get the plutonium material map,” Fang Qiu said with a sneer.

Upon hearing this, Thomas laughed.

John Doe’s guess was absolutely right.

At first, he followed the expert of the Truth Division to track John Doe down but didn’t expect to watch the fight between them.

He didn’t leave when he found that the sorcerer from Murica was actually John Doe just because he thought John Doe got injured in the fight. Otherwise, John Doe wouldn’t have started a seesaw battle after just exchanging one move with that expert from the Truth Division.

Besides, he believed that the just battle must have consumed a lot of John Doe’s energy.

He didn’t know why John Doe could use witchcraft, but he knew that John Doe, who was injured now and most of whose energy had been consumed, was no match for him.

That was why he had taken the initiative to show himself.

Not only was he going to kill John Doe, but he was also going to snatch the map.

“Don’t challenge a killer’s patience. Give me the map.” Thomas snorted.

“Well, I had thought about letting you off. But I now know that you’re the person who launched a sneak attack against me last time because I recognized your aura. Being targeted by a strong man who could perform fatal moves and conceal his aura like you, I feel quite annoyed. So I changed my mind and now, I’m going to… end your life.”

Before Thomas could make his move, Fang Qiu charged at him with a divine sword forming in his right hand. He then waved his right hand and slashed toward Thomas’ throat swiftly with the sharp sword.

“You’re courting death!”

Thomas snorted.

Just as the sword was about to land on him, a mass of black mist appeared in front of him. While using the three-edged military knife to fend off John Doe’s attack, he fled into the black mist and disappeared.

“This trick of yours doesn’t work on me.”

With his Divine Consciousness scanning the place, Fang Qiu moved toward the spot that was giving off energy. He slashed down fiercely though it seemed nothing there in the dark.

“Swoosh!”

Seeing that the sword was about to hit him, Thomas, who was hiding in the black mist, rushed out of the mist and dodged Fang Qiu’s attack.

Although the black mist could hide him well, his speed would slow down when he hid in the mist, as he had to use a lot of energy to control the black mist.

This was his only yet fatal weakness.

Previously, he had never met anyone who could break down his trick, not even those strong sorcerers from Murica.

But now John Doe had found his weakness.

He began to panic and even wanted to run away.

However, since he had seen Fang Qiu’s secrets, Fang Qiu would not let him go.

Thomas also understood that since John Doe had found his weakness, it was impossible for him to escape now, and no matter where he fled to, John Doe would find him in the end.

The most important thing was that John Doe was faster than him.

It seemed that he could only fight his way out now.

Boom!

After fending off John Doe’s attack, Thomas went all out. A mass of black mist rose from his palm and quickly covered the three-edged military knife in his hands.

“Whoosh!”

He charged at Fang Qiu again at a fast speed.

“Clang! Clang…”

There were sounds of metal on metal.

The two started fighting again and Thomas managed to fight neck and neck against Fang Qiu

Fang Qiu was not surprised by it at all. When Thomas attacked him for the first time, he had known that he was a Half-step Guru and was stronger than that fat man from the Truth Division.

“He now could attack so fast as if he had become a completely different person,” Fang Qiu thought.

During the fight, Fang Qiu found that with the help of the black mist, Thomas could attack very fast and even faster than him.

However, in terms of body movements, Fang Qiu was faster than Thomas.

After all, Thomas was not from Huaxia, so it was natural he didn’t know much about body movements.

While the fight continued, Thomas was shocked.

In his eyes, John Doe had been injured and a lot of his energy had been consumed. He didn’t expect John Doe to unleash such strong strength and fight neck and neck against him.

As he thought of this, his killing intent grew even stronger.

He knew if he couldn’t kill the current John Doe, he wouldn’t have a chance to kill him anymore. He wouldn’t give up this mission, nor would he admit that he was incompetent.

He must take this opportunity to kill John Doe here in one fell swoop!

As long as he killed John Doe, he might be ranked first on the World Killer List. Besides, getting the plutonium material map would greatly boost his reputation.

The more he thought about it, the more excited he became, and the faster and more aggressive his attacks became.

However, Fang Qiu was still calm in the face of this.

He launched attacks and defended himself repeatedly.

This was his first time fighting against a remarkable talent from Murica. He wanted to take this opportunity to learn more about the way those talents fought and to train himself and improve his attack speed. After all, Thomas had put him under much pressure in the fight.

They had exchanged more than a hundred moves in the past three minutes.

“Hmph.”

Seeing that he could not injure John Doe, Thomas became furious. He wanted to end the fight quickly. As a killer, his goal was to kill his enemy with one strike and end the fight as soon as possible.
