Chapter 1540 Second Venerable Shows Up!

“Go.” Fang Qiu waved his hand to the rest of the brothers.

He Gaoming didn’t hesitate. He was aware that it was the best choice to leave with the brothers as soon as possible. If they stayed, they would be a burden for John Doe.

Soon, the transport fleet filled with jade stones drove out of the fortress base, heading for the distance at a high speed.

Watching He Gaoming and the others leave…

Fang Qiu quickly cleaned up the traces of the departure of the trucks. Then he immediately walked into a room in the base and hid his aura completely.

Fang Qiu was waiting silently.

He continued to detect the surroundings with his Divine Consciousness.

Actually…

Fang Qiu could have hurried up to leave, but he had a concern. If the comer was Lord Virtuous, he would soon catch up with He Gaoming and the others.

After all, Lord Virtuous was too powerful. He must have his own way to sense it, even though the Qi of Heaven and Earth emitted from the jade stones had been completely blocked by Fang Qiu. No one knew whether Lord Virtuous could feel it or not.

Therefore…

Fang Qiu had to stay to check it out.

If the opponent didn’t chase, Fang Qiu would have to hide. If the opponent chased in the direction of He Gaoming and the others, Fang Qiu would have to show up and lure him away.

His Divine Consciousness sensed that the aura was rushing toward him.

But…

With the aura getting closer, Fang Qiu’s expression changed slightly.

Fang Qiu realized that the comer’s aura was very similar to that of Lord Virtuous, but it was not as strong as that of Lord Virtuous, which was not the type that he could not resist.

“Is it possible another Venerable?”

Fang Qiu wondered.

He immediately thought of the Venerables at the Nirvana Organization.

So far, a total of six Venerables had died at Fang Qiu’s hands, and there were only two Venerables left in the Nirvana Organization. They were First Venerable and Second Venerable.

Venerables were ranked according to their strengths.

Fourth Venerable was stronger than Fifth Venerable. Third Venerable was stronger than Fourth Venerable. Hence, First Venerable and Second Venerable must be stronger than Third Venerable.

In the face-to-face combat just now…

Fang Qiu realized that Third Venerable’s strength was almost as good as his. The reason why he could kill Third Venerable so easily was up to his recultivation power.

After all, after Fang Qiu recultivated, his strength and speed were much better than those of the experts at the same level as him.

When Fang Qiu was in deep thought…

“Swoosh!”

There was a sound of breaking through the air.

Upon a closer look…

A man in a yellow robe rushed over from a distance.

The man was quite burly and looked like in his forties. At first glance, his temperament was very similar to that of a hero in TV series.

“Is this First Venerable or Second Venerable?”

Seeing the man, Fang Qiu thought to himself.

At present…

Fang Qiu didn’t know how to differentiate the rank among the Venerables.

Perhaps, it differentiated according to the colors of the robes on them.

“Who was it? Who did it!”

In mid-air, when the burly middle-aged man saw the empty square in the fortress base, his face instantly turned gloomy, and he was extremely furious.

Apparently…

The Relic Mysterious Realm was gone.

Even the jade mine that supported the Mysterious Realm had been completely dug up, leaving nothing.

This caused him to be extremely furious.

He threw his head back and roared.

Then he narrowed his eyes and looked around carefully.

In the end…

He aimed in the direction where He Gaoming and the others departed.

For the safety of He Gaoming and the others, Fang Qiu had told them to turn around right after leaving the fortress base and leave in another direction to avoid being caught up.

To Fang Qiu’s surprise, this burly man found it out.

“It seems that I have to show up.”

Fang Qiu gave a wry smile inwardly.

When the burly man moved and rushed in the direction that He Gaoming and the others left, suddenly, a voice in a slightly joking tone was heard.

“Where are we going?”

Fang Qiu came out of the room. He flew up, walked in mid-air, and looked at the man who talked.

“Uh?”

The middle-aged man in a yellow robe was tunned. Suddenly, he turned his head and stared at Fang Qiu.

After a while…

The anger on the face of the middle-aged man in a yellow robe faded away, replaced by a cautious look.

“John Doe?”

Looking at Fang Qiu, the middle-aged man in a yellow robe questioned, “Did you do it?”

“Yes.” Fang Qiu nodded affirmatively.

Then he pointed to the corpses scattered around the pit under his feet and said, “I killed all of them.”

“You’re courting death!”

The middle-aged man in a yellow robe said through his teeth coldly.

“It sounds like you won’t go against me if I don’t kill your people.”

Fang Qiu sneered, “However, your people, including Third, Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, Seventh, Eighth Venerables, and even Crowning Lord, all died at my hands. Do you think you can kill me?”

“Humph!” The yellow-robed middle-aged man snorted coldly.

His eyes narrowed tightly, with a wisp of bright light flickered in them.

“If I’m not mistaken, with your strength, you should be First Venerable, right?”

Fang Qiu asked.

“It’s unnecessary to bother First Venerable to kill you.”

The yellow-robed middle-aged man said disdainfully.

“So you are Second Venerable.”

Fang Qiu was slightly stunned. He was a little surprised.

He never thought that a Second Venerable could possess such formidable strength.

If that was the case…

How powerful would First Venerable be?

“No, that’s not right.”

Thinking about it carefully, Fang Qiu immediately realized something strange.

From the Qi power, Fang Qiu could tell that Second Venerable’s strength should be about the same as his, so First Venerable’s strength must be a little stronger.

But the problem was…

Nirvana Crowning Lord’s strength was not as strong as Fang Qiu’s current strength. Fang Qiu was already able to kill Crowning Lord back then, so how did Crowning Lord rise to the top?

Weren’t First Venerable and Second Venerable more qualified than him to take the position of Crowning Lord?

“Hmph, go to hell!”

In the face of being questioned by Fang Qiu, Second Venerable had no intention of responding at all. Instead, with a wave of his hands, two pitch-black weapons, which looked like thorny vines shining with lightning, were immediately thrown out of his sleeves.

It could be seen that…

Both weapons were made of dark iron.

The spikes on them were exceptionally sharp.

“Whips?”

Fang Qiu raised his eyebrows.

This was the first time he had met someone who used whips as weapons.

In ancient Huaxia, those who used whips as weapons were mostly women. However, it was a burly man in front of Fang Qiu. It was so incongruous for him to hold whips in his hands.

But…

Before Fang Qiu could make fun of it, Second Venerable suddenly raised his hands and poured all his internal Qi into the whips.

“Crackle, crackle, crackle…”

The black lightning on the sharp iron thorns of the whips suddenly enlarged, wrapping around the two whips, and emitting a terrifying destructive aura.

And meanwhile…

Fang Qiu didn’t dare to neglect it.

He immediately ran his internal Qi to condense a divine sword.

“Kill!”

At the moment when the divine sword was condensed, Second Venerable moved. He spread out his hands behind his back, dragged the two whips covered with black lightning, and rushed toward Fang Qiu at an extremely terrifying speed as a shooting star.

The next moment…

“Whoosh.”

Rushing five meters away from Fang Qiu, Second Venerable suddenly waved his arms behind his back. His two whips wrapped in black lightning immediately lashed fiercely at Fang Qiu from both sides.

Seeing that…

Fang Qiu quickly dodged.

But right then…

Second Venerable moved his arms. The two whips, which were thrown in front of Fang Qiu, seemed to come alive, swam quickly in the air like poisonous snakes, and chased after Fang Qiu.

“The whips can chase after me!”

Fang Qiu narrowed his eyes and immediately waved his sword to fight back.

“Clang! Clang! Clang…”

The whips hit the long sword in Fang Qiu’s hand, causing a burst of flames.

At a glance…

Fang Qiu was suppressed by Second Venerable at the moment of the collision of their weapons.

The whips in Second Venerable’s hands were too long. Even though Fang Qiu blocked the whips with his divine sword, the tips of the whips lashed from another direction.

Besides…

Second Venerable was using two whips.

In this case, Fang Qiu had no choice but to keep waving his sword to block.

“Sword Lotus!”

In the face of Second Venerable’s fierce attack, Fang Qiu had to use ancient swordsmanship to fight back. With the rotation of his wrist, the divine sword condensed into Sword Lotuses in front of him, completely blocking Second Venerable’s attack.

“Hee, hee…”

However, Second Venerable didn’t stop even though Fang Qiu had blocked all his attacks. Instead, he burst out a sinister laugh and continued to slash Fang Qiu wildly with greater force.

“Uh?”

Being sandwiched by the two whips, Fang Qiu instantly felt some great pressure.

He had never felt such pressure from other Venerables before.

But…

With such pressure appeared…

Fang Qiu lit up his eyes.

“How long has it been since I felt such a great deal of pressure?”

The way that Fang Qiu recultivated was to use practical combat pressure to force his strength to improve. However, since he had recultivated to become a guru, he never felt such pressure in combats again.

That was why…

He had to keep thinking to make breakthroughs on his own.

As a result, after he recultivated to become a guru, his strength improved very slowly.

When he fought with Crowning Lord before, he didn’t feel this kind of pressure at all. And when he combated Lord Virtuous, the pressure was so great that he could not bear it.

Now, the pressure given him by Second Venerable was just about right.

“Looks like this guy’s strength is only one step away from the One-Flower Core Formation Realm.”

In their combat…

Fang Qiu soon felt Second Venerable’s real strength.

“In this case, I’ll have to push myself again.”

With this in mind…

Fang Qiu immediately got rid of the scruples, completely abandoning the intention of preparing a big move to confront the opponent head-on. Instead, he simply used his practical combat experience and means to confront Second Venerable moves one by one.

Thus, he would make use of the pressure given by his opponent to force out his potential.

“Clang! Clang! Clang…”

The sounds of intense collisions could be heard constantly.

Fang Qiu and Second Venerable collided with each other wildly. Their strengths were almost the same. In addition, Fang Qiu deliberately controlled his force and speed. In this case, their strengths were completely at the same level.

Then…

In the wild combat, Fang Qiu kept forcing himself to run his internal Qi at a faster speed and make quicker reactions.

In the blink of an eye…

They exchanged nearly a hundred moves.

As Second Venerable fought more and more fiercely, Fang Qiu deliberately controlled his force and speed, so he was gradually suppressed by Second Venerable.

Under such pressure…

Fang Qiu ran his internal Qi faster and faster. His muscles tensed up to an unprecedented extent, and the speed of each reaction reached its peak.
