Chapter 1142: 1142

Chapter 1142 Protect Them, Not Bully Them!

“Do you mean that you agree?”

Upon hearing Fang Qiu’s words, Lin Qingyi immediately laughed and asked.

“If you agree to fight.”

Fang Qiu took a step forward, waving to He Gaoming and the others to stand back.

They had seen Fang Qiu’s unparalleled fighting strength. In addition, Lin Qingyi, who was a Half-step Guru, must also be a big, badass sect leader. This fighting would be a big showdown in everyone’s minds! Therefore, all of them quickly retreated to the edge of the field and left an expansive area for Fang Qiu and Lin Qingyi.

“Come on.”

Fang Qiu looked at Lin Qingyi.

Before Fang Qiu came here, he hadn’t searched for any detailed information about Lin Qingyi, but he seemed very bold and decisive in doing things, plus his imposing Qi power, his age, and the fact that he had established the Peace Faction. Fang Qiu was sure Lin Qingyi was an expert among the older generation.

Merely by being able to reach the Half-step Guru Realm meant that he was someone outstanding from the older generation.

Thus, opting to remain cautious, Fang Qiu didn’t look down on him.

“Good.”

Lin Qingyi laughed and waved his right hand. As he stepped forward, a potent aura erupted from his body.

“Terrific indeed!”

……

Feeling his compelling Qi power, Fang Qiu nodded secretly.

Judging from the current situation, Fang Qiu knew Lin Qingyi was much more powerful than the world’s second-ranked killer whom he had just killed.

However, Fang Qiu didn’t really have to be particularly intense about this battle.

After all, Fang Qiu was strong enough to wipe out a Half-step Guru as early as when he was in Zhongdong. Since he returned to his country, his strength had significantly improved and he had further refined his skills. All in all, his combat capability would be at least one notch higher than before.

“Let’s start.”

With a bellow, Lin Qingyi moved and immediately rushed toward Fang Qiu.

At the same time, Fang Qiu also charged straight at him.

But this time, Fang Qiu didn’t intend to go all out to fight. After all, it should be Ma Chunyu, not Lin Qingyi, who should bear the consequences of his wrongdoings. More importantly, Lin Qingyi was an upright person. There was no need to battle such a person to the death.

Likewise for Lin Qingyi, although he was determined to defeat John Doe, he did not see this match as a life-and-death battle.

In this case, both sides were just testing each other’s strength at the beginning. Neither of them launched their first strikes with all their might.

But others didn’t think so.

“Bam! Bam! Bam!”

The two of them possessed superior strength. As the fight began, they crashed into each other with lightning speed. Within moments, their moves were too swift and dazzling for the others to follow.

For others, they seemed locked in a mortal combat.

“Hum?”

In the field, Lin Qingyi’s expression changed after a few moves.

Merely after exchanging several strikes and counter-attacks, Lin Qingyi could faintly discern the pressure from Fang Qiu!

He sensed some kind of danger lurking in his heart.

What shocked him the most was the feeling of suppression he felt at the hands of John Doe.

Yes, this was actually happening!

Whether it was strength or speed, he was slightly weaker than John Doe. As they wielded more and more movements, John Doe gained a bigger advantage over him and gradually got the upper hand.

“This guy’s fighting capacity is tremendous!”

Looking at John Doe, Lin Qingyi was shocked.

He could see that Fang Qiu was only at the ninth-class level with two opened meridians, and he hadn’t even reached the peak. However, the combat capability he demonstrated was completely beyond his real strength, and Fang Qiu appeared to be even stronger than him, a Half-step Guru.

This was simply too terrifying!

Fang Qiu’s unexpected extraordinary performance must have aroused his internal drive for excellence: after suffering a few setbacks, Lin Qingyi pressed ahead to try and overcome him.

He no longer held back and exerted all his strength, trying to mount a strong counter-attack against Fang Qiu and hold him down instantly.

However, at the moment when he broke out, Fang Qiu’s strength and speed also increased.

Almost in the blink of an eye, Fang Qiu’s combat capability had risen to a higher level.

This change utterly shocked Lin Qingyi.

While Lin Qingyi was greatly astonished, Fang Qiu no longer kept his strength under wraps.

After all, Fang Qiu was here to demand an explanation.

He’d better fight a quick battle.

The two sides fought back and forth, completing dozens of moves within seconds. When the fighting reached its climax, Fang Qiu once again suppressed Lin Qingyi.

Lin Qingyi, under his control, wanted to fight back.

At the critical moment, Fang Qiu’s tone suddenly lowered and he said, “Take my palm strike: Great Hand of Formlessness!”

Taking advantage of the flaw that Lin Qingyi had exposed when he wanted to fight back, Fang Qiu directly launched the Great Hand of Formlessness.

Even before the palm strike erupted and affected the air flows, the Qi of Heaven and Earth in the entire square had begun to shift restlessly.

It felt like the Qi of Heaven and Earth in this square was water, while Fang Qiu was the fire that caused the water to boil over.

With the activation of the Great Hand of Formlessness, the Qi of Heaven and Earth in the entire square began to churn.

All of a sudden, everyone present was startled.

Even Lin Qingyi, who was heavily engaged in fighting with Fang Qiu, was shocked by the strange movement of the surrounding Qi of Heaven and Earth.

Everyone was struck dumb with amazement.

How did John Doe cause such a large-scale movement of the Qi of Heaven and Earth?

Wasn’t this too terrifying?

Just when everyone was greatly shocked, the surrounding agitated Qi of Heaven and Earth suddenly came to a halt, and then with a swoosh, it sprang up like a fierce gale.

Fang Qiu’s palm gently patted Lin Qingyi’s chest!

“Bang.”

There was no such outcome as spitting out blood, flying backward, and hitting the ground as everyone had expected. After being hit by Fang Qiu’s palm, Lin Qingyi immediately retreated!

It seemed that he was not injured. However, as he retreated, his eyes suddenly widened and a look of horror appeared on his face.

“I lost.”

Without any hesitation, the moment he landed on the ground, Lin Qingyi directly raised his hand to stop Fang Qiu, who was about to rush over!

One after another, all the others around them heard Lin Qingyi admit his defeat.

All of a sudden, they burst into an uproar.

John Doe caused a large-scale movement of the Qi of Heaven and Earth, and everyone was waiting to see how powerful his strike would be. However, Lin Qingyi was not injured, nor did he spit out any blood. He didn’t even seem to have suffered any attacks. It looked like Fang Qiu had just faked the attack.

Just when everyone was feeling confused, Lin Qingyi admitted defeat.

How could a sect leader admit defeat in front of all his disciples?

The result was unacceptable to all the people from the Peace Faction.

How could he lose?

Why did he lose?

He didn’t get hurt at all. How could he lose?

How could their sect leader lose?

All the people of the Peace Faction couldn’t figure out why Lin Qingyi would admit defeat so readily. Even if he lost the battle, at least they should see it with their own eyes. His announcement of his defeat remained a mystery to all of them.

He Gaoming and the others also stared at them blankly. Although they were proud of John Doe’s victory, they were eager to know how he defeated Lin Qingyi.

“Thank you for your mercy, John Doe. Otherwise, all my internal Qi would have been scattered by you.”

As if knowing everyone’s doubts, Lin Qingyi saluted Fang Qiu and said, “I could bear with physical injuries, but you directly dispersed half of my internal Qi. No matter how much I wanted to go on fighting, I just couldn’t do it!”

Everyone present was visibly shocked.

“What? Fang Qiu scattered half of his internal Qi?”

“No wonder our sect leader admitted his defeat so readily. At first, they were evenly matched, but when he lost half of his internal Qi, John Doe undoubtedly gained the upper hand. Since then, the outcome of the battle had been set. It was meaningless to go on with this fight.”

“Not only can he attack people physically, but he can also destroy other people’s internal Qi. Amazing!”

“No wonder John Doe is second to the guru. With this skill, anyone who fights with him will lose half of their internal Qi when they get hit. In this case, few can defeat him.”

People from the Peace Faction, as well as He Gaoming and others, were petrified.

“There’s actually a move that could break up the internal Qi!”

“Isn’t he too awesome?”

In the field, at the moment when Lin Qingyi admitted defeat, Fang Qiu immediately stopped and said, “Hand him over.”

His request silenced the whole place!

In the face of Fang Qiu’s aggressive mien when asking for Ma Chunyu, Lin Qingyi smiled wryly and frowned. Then he beckoned to some people in the main building behind him.

Two elders walked out of the building with Ma Chunyu and escorted him to Fang Qiu.

“He is a member of the Peace Faction. I can hand him over to you here. You can kill him or do whatever you want, but you can’t take him away,” said Lin Qingyi.

“I won’t kill him, nor will I take him away. I only want an explanation,” said Fang Qiu as he shook his head.

“Okay, then I’ll give you what you want.”

Lin Qingyi replied. He walked up to Ma Chunyu and struck his Dantian with his palm. Ma Chunyu’s Dantian was smashed before he could react.

His cultivation was also gone when his Dantian was shattered.

“Puff…”

A mouthful of blood spurted from Ma Chunyu’s mouth and splattered all over the ground.

Fang Qiu couldn’t say anything more.

It was also his plan to destroy Ma Chunyu’s kung fu skills. Although Ma Chunyu did not make an unforgivable mistake, since it was the first time he had done such a thing, it was highly likely that he would do it a second time. To prevent more people from getting hurt and Ma Chunyu from supporting another person like Zhang Yiran, Fang Qiu had to destroy his kung fu skills.

Unexpectedly, Lin Qingyi didn’t even give Fang Qiu a chance to make a move and punished him himself.

“This is the responsibility of our Peace Faction, and I, as the sect leader, should be the one to carry out the punishment,” Lin Qingyi said.

Fang Qiu nodded and saluted Lin Qingyi. Then, he looked at all the people present and said, “I’ll repeat what I’ve said before today.”

“The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. There are many ordinary people in this world who need us. We should protect them, not bully them.”

“Everyone, take care!”

Fang Qiu turned around and left.

He Gaoming and the others also saluted the others around them. They followed behind Fang Qiu and left the mountain.

Walking behind and looking at the figure at the forefront, He Gaoming and others revered John Doe even more in their hearts.

Having gone through this incident, they all felt united as one, and they were so lucky to get such a good leader!
