Chapter 1616 John Doe Must Die!
“AARGH…”
Ballor died before him. Fang Qiu, whose nerves had been on edge, finally relaxed utterly. He couldn’t help but roar to the sky, which used up his last strength.
Then…
His whole body went limp, and he fell to the ground feebly.
Seriously injured, he felt tired. Fang Qiu quickly sat up cross-legged. Without hesitation, he took out his mobile phone and logged into the underground-force forum.
“I’ve finished this meal. Anything else?”
Fang Qiu took a photo of the scene.
With those words, he uploaded the photo of the scorched land before him to the underground-force forum.
After he released the post…
He logged out.
Putting away his mobile phone, he immediately began to run the guiding technique. While absorbing the surrounding Qi of Heaven and Earth into his body, he directly controlled all his internal Qi. As it rushed to his viscera, he started healing himself.
On the underground-force forum…
As John Doe uploaded his post, everyone on the forum went crazy!
“He won?”
“Did John Doe win?”
“How is this possible!!! How long has John Doe been promoted to the SS level? How could he even defeat Ballor and Bart?”
“Oh, my G.o.d, I can’t believe Ballor actually lost.”
“Haha, impressive, John Doe. Huaxia is awesome, indeed. Though he has just reached the SS level, he can still kill Ballor and Bart. John Doe is a role model for our generation!”
“John Doe lives up to his reputation. Amazing.”
“Is Ballor dead?”
In shock…
Everyone clicked and entered the individual strength ranking list.
Sure enough, they found John Doe had risen from sixth place to fifth in a global ranking list!
As for Ballor, who used to rank fifth, he had disappeared entirely from the individual strength ranking list.
Without a doubt…
The underground-force forum seemed to have acquiesced in the guess that John Doe had killed Ballor!
When others looked at the ranking…
The high-level officials, metahuman forces, and underground forces worldwide couldn’t help but gasp in wonderment.
No one had expected that John Doe held on and even slayed Ballor on the spot.
This was truly unbelievable!
The most terrific thing was…
The underground-force forum had recognized John Doe’s strength ranking fifth in the world.
Although it was a ranking list for all people not concealing their ident.i.ties, this ranking was enough shocking and outstanding!
Huaxia…
Laozi Relic…
“Wow!!!”
When they saw John Doe’s post, He Gaoming and the others couldn’t help cheering excitedly. During this period, they had been very nervous every minute and second.
They were worried about John Doe all the time.
At present…
The worry in their hearts wholly disappeared. Instead, they felt a burst of surprise.
Everyone was wild with joy.
Somewhere else…
The Four Great Families also breathed a sigh of relief.
He Gaoming went down the Heavenly Ladder and was ready to tell everyone the good news.
To his surprise…
As he had just come down, he saw that…
Everyone below was cheering and celebrating in an ecstasy of delight.
Although everyone knew it, He Gaoming still announced that John Doe was fine and slaughtered a top Murica expert.
Everyone cheered along with He Gaoming.
In the middle of the Heavenly Ladder…
Yun Yangzi had been sitting before the Magpie Bridge, making efforts. Straining his ears, he caught the news that John Doe had defeated the top expert. Instantly, he felt a stirring inside.
The Heavenly Ladder before him shattered into a wholly connected Magpie Bridge.
Below him…
All the rogue cultivators saw the Magpie Bridge become complete with jealousy in their eyes.
They looked to the other side…
Diwu Qian was still working hard.
Outside the relic…
These high-level officials of Huaxia felt relieved as soon as they heard John Doe had killed Ballor.
They immediately arranged for someone to contact the Flower Core Formation expert who had arrived in Egyptt and tell him not to rush. John Doe was fine now, but he was requested not to return to Huaxia for the time being. He should stay there to make supporting movements, just in case.
After all…
Muricans were never magnanimous.
This time, they suffered a significant loss. John Doe slaughtered Ballor, causing them another heavy blow!
In this case…
Murica had utterly thrown caution to the wind.
Having suffered such a heavy loss, they couldn’t give in.
Therefore…
No one knew what the Murica people would do. Therefore, the expert staying there could guarantee Fang Qiu’s safety!
…
In other places…
All the countries in the world had been paying attention to the underground-force forum, so they learned John Doe had won in the first place.
In the previous…
Many small and medium-sized countries had been following Murica’s lead, claiming to punish Huaxia. At this time, they all panicked and contacted the high-level officials of Huaxia in the first place.
They put on pitiful looks, saying Murica forced them to do so. But they had come round to the idea and apologized to Huaxia. They kept promising that all the punishment they had said before was untrue.
The higher-ups of Huaxia received these messages.
One after another, they couldn’t help laughing.
Huaxia was a country that loved peace. Since peacetime had come, it would not take the initiative to find trouble with other countries.
But…
There were many things they could do.
For example, Huaxia could urge these countries to issue announcements. Or, they could take the opportunity to sign some trade agreements with these countries.
According to these Huaxia higher-ups, since they came to make trouble, they should bear the painful consequence after the defeat!
Helplessly…
To apologize…
These countries could only sign trade agreements according to Huaxia’s requirements.
Fortunately, Huaxia was not as black-hearted as they had imagined. Huaxia got most of the benefits of these trade agreements, but the other countries could gain something at least.
Not long after that…
Several countries quickly issued notices through the public media. They denied their previous announcements that they would impose trade sanctions on Huaxia. Besides, they pretended to be righteous and severely scolded the media agencies who issued the news.
This time…
These ordinary people in Huaxia were stunned.
What the h.e.l.l was going on?
They said they would impose sanctions against Huaxia and start trade wars. But suddenly, these countries gave up on these ideas and said it was fake news.
They had no idea what was going on.
But they loved peace. It was good to hear that those so-called sanctions were not true. As long as there were no trade wars and the economy wouldn’t be affected, everything would be fine for them.
Some civilians began to complain about it.
These media outlets made up all kinds of fake news.
If this continued, they might dare to make up a story about the new world war!
…
Murica…
As soon as all the high-level officials of Murica received the news…
They were stunned and couldn’t react for a long time.
Murica…
Outside the conference room of the secret base…
“What’s going on?”
A man was sitting in the chairman’s seat. In disbelief, he looked at all the senior officials of Murica in the conference room and said, “How could John Doe be so capable? Ballor had such powerful strength, yet John Doe defeated him. Why?”
In the conference room…
A deathly silence hung over the room. Everyone was silent, not knowing what to say.
“Make a survey!”
The man in the main seat hit the conference table with a resounding slap and snapped, “Find out if Huaxia has sent some people to do it. Otherwise, how could John Doe kill Ballor?”
The order was given.
Soon…
The staff began to investigate.
Before long…
“Sir.”
An aide entered the conference room and saluted everyone there. Facing the man in the main seat, he said, “We have monitored the process through our people and relic satellites. No one is found to interfere in the battle between John Doe and Ballor. Although Huaxia has sent people over, they have not arrived yet. Only John Doe was fighting with Ballor from the beginning to the end!”
As soon as Fang Qiu finished speaking…
In the conference room, all the high-ranking officials of Murica were shocked.
“How could it be?”
“How could John Doe from Huaxia be so formidable?”
“Even Ballor was no match for him. What the h.e.l.l was going on? Hasn’t John Doe just advanced to SS level?”
“John Doe can’t be so powerful. It’s impossible!”
In shock…
Everyone in the conference room was furious.
From the beginning to now…
The number of people they had lost was enough to destroy the world’s top army. If all these people had been sent there at the start, they wouldn’t have suffered such a significant loss. They might have even robbed the Laozi Relic.
But now…
Not a single one of them survived.
All of them were dead. No one managed to stay alive.
In particular…
They were all killed by John Doe.
The discussion made their blood boil, but the conference room fell into a dead silence again. Everyone relapsed into silence.
After a long time…
“What should we do?”
The man in the main seat glanced at everyone and asked with a gloomy face, “Can anybody tell me what to do next?”
They looked at each other in dismay and at a loss for words.
“Gontinue the sanctions?”
The person in the main seat asked again.
“I received messages. Many countries are unwilling to engage in trade wars with Huaxia and have given up on imposing sanctions. They even have signed new trade agreements with Huaxia. With these trade treaties, Huaxia is not afraid of starting trade wars with us at all. On the contrary, we…”
A senior official said.
“Then stop!”
With a livid face, the man in the main seat slammed his hand down on the table and said, “Tell me, what should we do about the rise of John Doe?”
Beyond doubt…
They all knew as John Doe rose to fame, Huaxia would share some of their profits. Huaxia was on the rise while they were on the decline. In this case, it would be more difficult for them to hold back Huaxia’s development.
Therefore… They had to find a way to deal with it!
“We can withdraw the punishment, but John Doe must die.”
A high-level official growled, “How can they humiliate Murica so easily? We must kill John Doe, in an aboveboard way. This can make everyone know Murica is still the global leader. Huaxia is no match for it in every aspect!”
“How can we kill him?”
The person in the main seat asked.
“Devourer, Steven!”
The senior official said with an angry look on his face, “Since Ballor is dead, we can only let Steven go. He is ranked third on the world’s individual strength list. Nicknamed Devourer of the World, he was the strongest on the surface. If he takes action, John Doe will definitely die!”
