Chapter 1184 Ready for the Enemy!
“Everyone.”
After each of them found their targets, Master Numinous glanced at everyone and said, “John Doe is right. Compared with destroying Nirvana Organization, we should pay more attention to the overall national interest and set our sights on a long-term goal. We should even sacrifice our strength for our country!
“Wulin in Huaxia has been avoiding contact with other countries for a hundred years. During this period, though many martial arts pract.i.tioners went abroad often, they were there mostly as businessmen or ordinary people. Few of them communicated with others abroad as martial arts pract.i.tioners. Nowadays, there are numerous experts worldwide. All the other countries are open to the general public, but only Huaxia has been isolated from the outside world. For one: our country is not used to contacting outsiders. Those masters in Wulin have been keeping a certain distance from foreign strangers. For another, Huaxia has always been mysterious and powerful.
“Without a doubt, Huaxia kung fu is stronger than those metahuman in other countries, so we will not condescend to communicate with foreigners out of pride.
“I’m pretty sure that our martial arts in Huaxia are still the best in the world. Maybe because we disdain to communicate with the outside world for a hundred years, these foreigners think that Wulin in Huaxia will soon come to its end and can now bully us!
“Today is an excellent opportunity. We will let these people experience the power of Wulin in Huaxia!”
“Everyone, remember: we’d rather die than let others invade our country!”
All the people present listened intently to his speech.
Everyone knew they could not afford to make any mistakes this time and had to win this tough battle!
Anyhow, the opposite side also had five gurus!
“Let those foreigners know they can’t afford to offend people in Huaxia!”
“Fight against them and drive them out!”
“Show our national power!”
Everyone raised their arms and shouted loudly together.
For a moment, they all forgot about Nirvana Organization and focused all their energy on defending their country against foreign enemies.
“Let’s start a WeChat group, shall we?”
Lin Qingyi stood out and said, “After we go our separate ways to fight our enemies, we can update each other about the situation in the group. With it, those who annihilate their opponents quickly will know who needs their help!”
“Good suggestion.”
Diwu Mingchuan and the other three patriarchs nodded at the same time.
With this, Lin Qingyi set up a WeChat group as he had suggested and added a total of 29 people to the group.
“It’s done.”
After entering the group, Master Numinous made a hold fist salute to everyone and said, “Everyone, let’s go!”
“Everyone, take care!”
“Take care, you, guys.”
Everyone saluted, telling each other to take good care.
After that, they went their separate ways and rushed to their chosen location.
Although they were not together, at this moment, their hearts were tightly linked together. With a deep hatred for the enemy, each of them resolutely vowed to defend the country!
Zangjiang was a frontier province located at the western border of Huaxia, which was very vast and rich in resources.
The ancient ruin appeared in Zangjiang.
Thus, all the foreign forces chose to enter from the Zangjiang border.
In the beginning, Fang Qiu, Li Ji, and even the higher-ups thought these foreigners wouldn’t dare to break into Huaxia. Their only way was to enter Huaxia normally as ordinary people and then make their way to Zangjiang.
To everyone’s surprise…
Upon learning those Wulin experts in Huaxia had rushed to the ancient ruin, these foreign forces were worried, fearing they wouldn’t get a share in the end. As a result, they readily took the risk and broke straight into Huaxia!
Because of this, these top leaders attached great importance to this matter, and everyone took it seriously.
Everyone arrived at their respective interception points.
According to the real-time location provided by Fang Qiu, those foreign experts were already nearby.
“I’m in position, waiting for the enemy!”
“Get ready!”
“An ambush has been set up.”
“The enemy hasn’t arrived yet. I’m still waiting.”
When they reached their respective sites, they sent messages in the WeChat group, informing the group of their arrival. Now all they had to do was wait for the enemy to arrive!
They didn’t indulge in any idle chatter and only concentrated on exchanging information about the battle!
Just like that, everyone was ready and waiting.
“The enemy is coming!”
Ten minutes later, a message came into the WeChat group.
Everyone saw that it was a message from Unfettered Faction’s leader, a Half-step Guru. The target he selected was also a Half-step Guru!
Everyone seeing this message turned in his direction as they, waited impatiently, itching for a fight!
Three minutes went by.
“The enemy is coming!”
Another message sounded in the WeChat group.
They took a closer look.
It was from Infinite Faction’s leader.
He was once a disciple of the Infinite Faction and had become a Half-step Guru. His target was a small group made up of seven or eight ninth-cla.s.s experts led by a ninth-cla.s.s expert with two opened meridians.
With his strength, others knew there was no need to worry about him.
Then, one after another, messages emerged in the WeChat group.
Almost all the foreign forces had come into sight!
The only person who did not send any message was John Doe.
At this moment, Fang Qiu was standing on the top of a towering snow-capped mountain.
Bracing himself against the piercingly cold wind, he looked up into the distance.
A moment later, something appeared at the periphery of his vision.
On a glacier, Fang Qiu finally spotted a figure he was waiting for!
Fang Qiu couldn’t help laughing at the sight of this figure.
The incessant messages in the group made him anxious to have a go, but his opponent had not turned up.
Now, his target was finally here!
Fang Qiu took out his phone.
He entered the WeChat group and sent four words: Here comes my enemy!
He put away his mobile phone and gently stretched his neck and wrists. Looking at the figure zipping over, he was filled with lofty pride.
“Whoosh.”
Not long after, there came a sound of something breaking through the air.
In front of Fang Qiu was a young man in his thirties, dressed in white with slightly whitish-yellow hair.
When he scrutinized him closely, he found that his eyes were blue, and there were faint wisps of azure energy surging about his body, just like the Qi of Heaven and Earth that Huaxia martial arts pract.i.tioners used for cultivation.
“Bow!”
Before the other party approached him, Fang Qiu, standing on the top of the snow mountain, immediately activated his internal Qi and a mighty pressure erupted from his body.
As soon as Fang Qiu released the pressure, it immediately stopped the fast-moving foreigner.
“Who are you?”
The foreigner who was about to sweep past immediately stopped after being blocked by Fang Qiu’s pressure and made his way to the snow mountain top. He looked at Fang Qiu with a puzzled face and asked, “Are you also here to fight for the ancient ruin?”
“Fight for it?”
Fang Qiu smiled disdainfully and said, “How dare you intrude into our Huaxia territory?”
“Are you from Huaxia?”
The man was slightly stunned. Unexpectedly, he burst out laughing and said, “That’s great. I’m in urgent need of a Huaxia guide. If you want, I can pay you a lot of money. I’m even willing to rob the ancient ruin with you. As for the spoils, I’ll take only one-third of them. What do you think?”
“Sounds pretty good.”
Fang Qiu smiled and said, “But that look in your eyes has given you away!”
“How could that be?”
The other party revealed a genial smile and said, “As a man who means business, I will never cheat you. Your strength is not bad, but it is not enough to compete for the ancient ruin. Only by cooperating with me can you achieve the greatest benefit. Don’t you agree?”
“I have to say that your proposal sounds good.”
Fang Qiu shook his head with a smile and said, “Unfortunately, the ancient ruin has disappeared. You can’t find it even if you go there now, so you’d better leave quickly!”
“Disappeared?”
Hearing Fang Qiu’s words, the young man was slightly startled. Then he immediately shook his head and said with a smile, “You are lying to me!”
“No.”
Fang Qiu spoke emphatically, “The relic has indeed vanished.”
“I don’t believe it. I want to go in and have a look.”
The young man said, smiling.
“You are in the land of Huaxia.”
Fang Qiu shook his head disapprovingly and said, “Our Huaxia territory is inviolable, and no foreigner is allowed to trespa.s.s. I’ll give you one last piece of advice. Leave right away and go back to your country.”
“What if I don’t?”
The young man narrowed his eyes. The smile was still plastered on his face, but a withering look had come into his eyes. With a trace of killing intent, he gazed into Fang Qiu’s eyes — the friendly look had vanished without a sign!
His friendliness had only been a pretence.
In fact, Fang Qiu had already seen through him, but Huaxia people believed in harmony. So, he thought it was unnecessary to fall out with each other the first time they met. If he could resolve the dispute peacefully, he would never start a fight.
However…
This foreign young man didn’t appreciate his kindness!
“Not leaving?”
Fang Qiu responded with a sneer, “Then you will regret it.”
“I’ve heard the mysterious Huaxia in the east is formidable, but it is only hearsay. Anyway, I’m here today. I’d like to see why Huaxia is described as a land of mystery. Do you agree?”
The young man shot Fang Qiu a challenging look, his voice dripping with sarcasm.
As he spoke, specks of azure radiance lit up around him.
“Water-type metahuman?”
Fang Qiu glanced at him, then shook his head with a cold smile.
“I hope you won’t suffocate.”
The young man smirked, got in position, and immediately darted toward Fang Qiu.
Fang Qiu fixed his eyes on him.
While flas.h.i.+ng over, a layer of water curtain formed and covered him in no time, engulfing his whole body. Meanwhile, propelled by an impact force, he moved sharply toward Fang Qiu like a water arrow.
“Humph.”
Fang Qiu snorted.
He had slaughtered a fire-type metahuman, so he knew the weak points of this type of metahuman very well.
The opponent appeared in front of him.
He waved his right hand.
In an instant, his spiritual force spread out, absorbing all the fire-type energy in the surroundings. Then, he stretched out his right hand.
“Pa!”
With a snap of a finger, Fang Qiu ignited the fire-type energy gathered around him, forming a vast firewall before him and blocking his enemy.
“What the h.e.l.l?”
Seeing this scene, the foreign young man was dumbfounded!
