The Medical Guru

Chapter 1258 If We Can’t Get It, No One Can

Fang Qiu’s words stunned the eight gurus from different countries and forces instantly.

They were all very clear about this fact.

Everyone else would surely ambush or attack whoever obtained the Seven-storey Tower, which meant this person would have little or no chance to get out alive. He might be killed before he was even aware of the danger.

By the look of things…

John Doe undoubtedly had the greatest competitive advantage.

For one thing, John Doe was the strongest among them. His peerless strength was clearly evident when he attacked the king cobra.

For another, the Huaxia people were known for their unity. In addition to John Doe’s great power, he had the help of Luoyun, a Huaxia guru.

To put it bluntly…

Now, including John Doe, there were a total of nine gurus. The only ones who had total trust in each other were John Doe and Luoyun.action

There was no mutual trust between the others, whether gurus from the four great countries or Francis and Mousolini.

Thus…

They knew they would have no chance to get out alive after getting the Holy Fruit, yet they were reluctant to let John Doe keep it!

But now, the Holy Fruit had already fallen into John Doe’s hands. Besides, for each of them, it was a troublesome treasure to have.

Even though they were unwilling to let John Doe hold on to the Holy Fruit, they didn’t dare to take it themselves.

The seven gurus hesitated.

Here…

Luoyun furtively stood some distance from Fang Qiu. He was not too close to Fang Qiu, but he could attack immediately should Fang Qiu be besieged.

At a glance, he readied himself into the best position to support Fang Qiu.

When the seven gurus caught sight of this…

They couldn’t help frowning, their expressions solemn.

“What should we do?”

Looking at each other, the seven gurus fell silent.

After a long time…

“I have a proposal.”

Suddenly, the Murica guru stood up and said, “Obviously, this palace is not the center of the ancient ruin. I just found another passage in the palace.”

When the others heard this…

They turned to look.

Sure enough, there was a passageway that led deeper into the palace.

In the crowd…

The Egyptt guru narrowed his eyes, and his expression changed slightly.

“Then what?”

With his eyes on the Seven-storey Tower in Fang Qiu’s hands, Mousolini responded to the Murica guru.

“It’s very simple.”

The Murica guru smiled faintly and said, “Since we’re already here, no matter how dangerous it is inside, we’ll still go to the end. In that case, why don’t the nine of us go and explore inside together? John Doe can stay in the middle while the others surround him. Then, he can’t run away even if he wants to, and we can monitor each other. As for who will get the Holy Fruit eventually, it depends on what kind of opponents we’ll meet in the following exploration!”

Everyone heard his suggestion.

They all nodded in agreement.

At present, it seemed to be the only way.

After all, they hadn’t finished exploring the ancient relic. It would be a waste of time if they went on fighting for the Seven-storey Tower here. Moreover, no one knew if anyone had sneaked into the depths of the ruin during the fierce battle. If some people had gone ahead, these people could have taken the treasures which were hidden there.

That was something that the few gurus did not want to see, so the method proposed by the Murica guru was undoubtedly the best option.

By following his advice, they could keep an eye on the Seven-storey Tower at all times and continue exploring the relic.

There were no objections to his idea.

Luoyun immediately walked forward and stopped at the best spot to guard against the others and protect Fang Qiu.

The other gurus lost no time in surrounding Fang Qiu.

“Okay.”

Seeing that they were all in agreement, Fang Qiu nodded and said with a nod, “Okay, we’ll do as you say!”

After that…

He turned around and stepped into the palace.

The other eight gurus were grouped around him.

Soon…

They went into the palace.

When they stepped on the snake slough of the king cobra, the seven gurus around Fang Qiu exchanged glances and abruptly made a move.

In unison, they pounced on Fang Qiu.

Their sudden strikes caught Luoyun off guard.

He hit on an idea in his desperation.

He instantly waved his sword to help block the attacks!

Nearby, Fang Qiu seemed to have already anticipated the seven gurus’ intention. Just when he came under attack from all sides, he suddenly stood on tiptoe and rose into the air!

In reality…

All the seven gurus were anxious to obtain the Seven-storey Tower. How could they be willing to let Fang Qiu hold it? In addition, it was audacious of Fang Qiu to threaten them with the Seven-storey Tower at the beginning, which greatly upset them.

No one could threaten a guru!

The seven gurus simmered with extreme anger. Since they couldn’t get the Seven-storey Tower, John Doe couldn’t get it either!

At the worst…

They went their separate ways. Any one of them who got it could swallow it. If not, they would just destroy it!

The Murica guru proposed to go deeper into the relic because he planned to take this chance to besiege Fang Qiu.

They didn’t choose to do it outside because it was a wide open space outside. But once they entered the palace, there was only the palace entrance and the entryway to the depths of the relic ruin. As long as they blocked these two exits, John Doe couldn’t escape even if he grew a pair of wings.

Unluckily for them…

Fang Qiu had figured out something from their eye contact with each other earlier.

Not surprisingly…

The moment the seven gurus moved…

“Swoosh!”

Without saying a word, Fang Qiu leaped into the air, flashed abruptly, and rushed out of the palace before the seven people could even block the two exits.

Then, he darted to the passage he came from.

In the palace.

The Egyptt guru willingly chose to guard the passage which led into the depths. Even if he saw John Doe fleeing, he had no intention of chasing after him. Instead, he continued to rush toward the passage.

On the other side…

As soon as Fang Qiu ran, everyone went after him.

But when gurus from the four great countries reached the palace gate, they stopped abruptly.

They turned around.

There…

The Egyptt guru was there to guard the passage. As soon as he reached there, he went all out and rushed in crazily — this scene left the gurus of the four great countries totally flabbergasted.

Francis also noticed something strange!

“What is he doing?”

The Murica guru asked suspiciously.

“All the Egypttians have gone in.”

The Anglan guru said, “I just saw a group of people who dashed in secretly to the depths of the relic before Rahman. They seemed to be a group of Egypttians!”

When everyone heard that…

They all hesitated at once.

They looked around.

On one side was the Seven-storey Tower, a top-class Holy Fruit. On the other side, there were unknown treasures in the depths of the ruin.

“These Egypttians must have explored the relic.”

“Even if this relic is opened for the first time, they must have some information about the interior of the relic from the ancient records. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have given up the Holy Fruit so easily and entered the relic.”

The others heard it…

They were stunned.

Indeed…

They all were gurus and had explored other relics in which they had seen Holy Fruits.

After all, every relic was a magical place. Only a few contained Holy Fruits, so these gurus were not very surprised when they saw a Holy Fruit here.

Thus…

Everyone knew that the Holy Fruit didn’t belong to the ruin.

Thinking of this…

Everyone immediately understood.

In the ruin, the Holy Fruit was not the most important thing. What was left behind from ancient times was the most valuable.

With that in mind…

“Go after him!”

The Murica guru gritted his teeth and gave up the Seven-storey Tower. Instantly, he hurried deeper into the ancient relic to chase after the others, closely followed by gurus from the other three countries.

Francis had been waiting aside. After pondering for some time, he quietly set off in pursuit.

There was enmity between him and gurus from the four countries.

Mousolini had gone after John Doe, and he didn’t want to waste any more time on the Holy Fruit, so he could only move back a little and hide at the back and followed up quietly.

After all, he feared that the gurus of the four countries would surround and kill him on the way.

There…

Luoyun, a Huaxia guru, also stopped.

It was because he found that the number of people who chased after Fang Qiu had suddenly decreased.

In the end, only one person was after Fang Qiu. It was Mousolini, a guru from Styx in Greacie.

He turned around to look at the others.

They all rushed into the depths of the ruin.

Without the slightest hesitation, he turned around.

“Go inside!”

He ordered.

Luoyun turned around and glanced at Fang Qiu, who was being chased by Mousolini, and muttered, “I’m sorry. I have to consider the national interest and do everything for the good of the country!”

He believed in Fang Qiu.

It was not difficult for John Doe to deal with Mousolini. After all, he had the strength to kill a guru, and there was only Mousolini. So, Fang Qiu could handle the situation.

Moreover…

Since John Doe got the Seven-storey Tower, he could guard it. Therefore, in terms of the Seven-storey Tower, Luoyun could rest assured. He wouldn’t have to worry about it being taken by other forces. After all, it was in the hands of John Doe, who was on their side.

However, the treasures that were stored deep in the ruin were different.

Those treasures, better than the Seven-storey Tower, were mighty weapons for competitions between countries, which were resources that could significantly improve national strength.

As a Sword Sect member, he had to put the state interest ahead of anything else!

“John Doe, I wish you good luck.”

Luoyun said in his heart and immediately led everyone else to chase after the others into the depths of the ruin.

Here…

Fang Qiu turned back.

The area in the black fog that he had entered was gone. He found he could directly return to the passageway connected to the maze.

After flying for a few minutes, Fang Qiu realized no one else had caught up with him.

Behind him was only the Greacie guru with a gun in his hand: Mousolini!

A plan occurred to him.

Fang Qiu stopped and abruptly looked back.

“Hmm?”

Mousolini paused, stared at Fang Qiu with a sneer, and asked, “Why are you not running?”

“Do I need to run when you’re the only one after me?”

Fang Qiu also smiled.

“Haha.”

Mousolini burst out laughing before his expression became serious and he said, “One of my hunters died in Huaxia for a relic. Today, I’ll kill you to avenge his death!”

When he heard his heroic remark…

Fang Qiu squinted at him.

Then, he made his move as he did not want to waste any time on idle chatter. Swiftly, he clenched his right hand, formed the Divine Sword, and stabbed Mousolini in his chest with it.

“Humph.”

Mousolini, pale with fear, immediately withdrew.

He retreated to the open space before the palace in an instant.

“Kill!”

As soon as Mousolini stepped back, a glint flashed in his eyes, and he suddenly thundered.

After that…

Intersecting beams of red light immediately appeared before Fang Qiu!
