The Villain's Counterattack

The martial arts skills of Xiao Sanxiao are extraordinary. In his prime, he is invincible. However, although he has lived for four thousand years and has great justice in his heart, he is ultimately no match for fate and emotions.

When Xiao Sanxiao was young, he met a divine turtle among the four spirits by chance. Since then, he has been granted eternal life. During his long life, he met the love of his life: the mortal woman Yueyu, and married her. They eventually gave birth to two sons: Xiao Jingtian and Xiao Aoshi.

Just as he was enjoying a happy and fulfilling life, he began to feel uneasy. As the feeling of unease grew day by day, he devoted himself to research and finally discovered a disaster that would destroy the world: the Great Catastrophe of the Millennium.

In order to uncover the secret of heaven, his life span was shortened and his hair turned white overnight. He pondered day and night and even said goodbye to his wife and children and ran away from home. He was away for fifteen years and when he returned home, everything had changed.

After his wife passed away, his two sons, although grown up, practiced the peerless martial arts he left behind and went astray.

He is not the selfish Emperor Shi Tian who has poor talent and needs time to make up for it. On the contrary, Xiao Sanxiao is a kind person overall. He has been cleaning up the cancer on the land of China every hundred years since thousands of years ago, and thus became one of the legendary Twelve Terrors.

But he never imagined that the so-called great calamity was actually brought about by his own son. He decided to kill his own son for the sake of justice, but he didn't expect that his son had his bloodline and practiced the Four Wonders of Huntian and the Ten Thousand Daos Senluo Divine Art that he created, and when they joined forces, they actually seriously injured him.

Xiao Sanxiao can live for four thousand years and has many other abilities besides martial arts. He poisoned his two sons with the Great Compassion and Bliss Powder, but couldn't bear to see their pain, so he gave them the antidote. However, his sons' Jingtian Body counterattacked him and he was seriously injured. From then on, his condition deteriorated.

Duan Lang, who has read the original novel, knows that after four thousand years of passing, coupled with his desperate calculations of the great catastrophe, and two other serious injuries from his son, Xiao Sanxiao's lifespan is no longer infinite, and his strength is slowly declining.

Duan Lang had no idea about Xiao Sanxiao's specific strength at this moment, but he was definitely stronger than himself, even not inferior to Emperor Shitian. However, it was an indisputable fact that he would meet his end in more than 30 years.

Xiao Sanxiao's four thousand years were definitely not wasted. He had the ability to calculate, and later he got the Heart Mirror from his good friend Seng Huang, and gained the ability to see through the future.

But this thing is not Xiao Sanxiao's after all, and its ability is somewhat limited. However, he was fully focused on the great catastrophe of the millennium, and also saw the key figure: Fengyun!

Compared to Bu Jingyun, he likes the gentle Nie Feng more, which is why he has always paid close attention to and taken care of him.

During this once-in-a-century opportunity for the Twelve Terrors to appear, he used some tricks to bring Nie Feng and Di Er Meng together. It was a good intention, but to what effect?

Apart from conditioning Di Er Meng's body and allowing her to be with Nie Feng, it seems that there is no other use for it.

As for eradicating those many high-ranking villains in the martial arts world, Duan Lang thought that was no problem. What Twelve Jinghuang could do, the Demon Lord could do as well. However, she was making steady progress with Duan Lang's support and had not yet extended her claws to Shanxi and Jiangnan. This was why Du Wuchang survived for a few days.

With the Demon Lord's temperament, he cannot tolerate the existence of someone like Du Wuchang.

In this respect, she is very similar to Xiao Sanxiao, but Xiao Sanxiao is better at hiding himself, while the Demon Lord Bai Suzhen is more soft-hearted and easily caught in flaws.

It is precisely because of this that the Demon Lord Bai Suzhen died unjustly in the original novel, while Xiao Sanxiao was able to live for more than four thousand years before passing away suddenly.

Only after truly understanding Xiao Sanxiao's life did Duan Lang deeply realize that this was the role model of our generation, the example of the Tao, and the goal of his own learning. In fact, compared with Nie Feng, Duan Lang felt that he was more similar to Xiao Sanxiao.

After much deliberation, Duan Lang decided to meet the elusive Twelve Fears. Knowing the plot, would it be difficult for him to find someone at a specific time and place?

For ordinary people, the Twelve Panics are not easy to find, but for Duan Lang, who is almost a god and quite omnipotent, finding Xiao Sanxiao is not too difficult.

"I am Duan Lang, the son of Duan Shuai, the leader of Nanlin Sword, and I would like to meet Senior Twelve Shocking Laughs." Duan Lang was mentally prepared for the half-exposure of Xiao Sanxiao's identity, but to show respect, he did not rush in rashly, nor did he carelessly ruin Xiao Sanxiao's plan. Instead, he arrived outside Nie Taoyuan two days in advance.

As Duan Lang sent three voice transmissions in a specific direction, Xiao Sanxiao finally confirmed that this kid most likely knew where he was. However, when he tried to guess his identity and origin, he could only see a fog. He couldn't help but sigh in amazement: "Strange, strange! He was clearly a kid by Fengyun's side, blocking his light and becoming a foil for him. I don't know when he became so unpredictable. Strange, strange~"

Xiao Sanxiao obtained the Monk Emperor's ability to see into the future, and this was how he controlled the fate of Nie Feng and Di Er Meng, laying the foundation for their future union. Otherwise, with Di Er Meng's personality, how could he easily accept others?

But no matter how hard he tried, he could not see through Duan Lang's current fate, which was completely different from the fate he had seen before.

Twelve Panics was just a disguise of Xiao Sanxiao, so he used this specific identity to purge and eradicate the cancer in the martial arts world. The main target he chose for the past hundred years was Du Wuchang and the dozens of so-called famous and upright sects. Whether it was killing someone with a borrowed knife in the early stage or taking the initiative to kill Du Wuchang later, everything was in his plan.

The plan had just begun and the killing had not really started when someone arrived here in advance and found him. This was something Xiao Sanxiao had not expected.

"The time has not come yet, don't panic and come out. Boy, wait two days before coming back." An erratic voice came from the poisonous forest. It could be heard clearly, but it was impossible to tell where the voice came from.

Duan Lang bowed to the front, then stood up and said with a smile: "I, Duan Lang, have nothing to ask of you, Senior. I just want to say hello to you, so that I won't do something bad with my good intentions."

Duan Lang's words piqued Xiao Sanxiao's curiosity, and he asked calmly, "How could this matter possibly be related to me?"

"I want to accept Di Er Meng as my disciple. I hope you know." Duan Lang's words surprised Xiao Sanxiao. He knew very well what Di Er Meng's situation was. There were very few people in the world who could save Di Er Meng, and he was one of them. Seeing that Di Er Meng's time was up, this kid actually wanted to accept her as his disciple?

How good is Di Er Meng’s martial arts?

Even the current Xiongba may not be her opponent. This kid who escaped from Tianxiahui actually wants to take Di Er Meng as his disciple. Isn’t he a little too arrogant?

"Do you know that the Second Dream's end is near, and no one can save him?"

"I have a technique called 'Yin Yang Miscellaneous Classics' that can cure the suffering of the second dream."

"The Yin-Yang Classic?" Xiao Sanxiao's voice gradually became a little low. "Coincidence? Or, a brand new destiny?"

"Boy, your knowledge of the Yin-Yang Classic is not high enough, I'm afraid it won't be enough to save the Second Dream."

"Senior, there's no need to worry about this. The original Yin-Yang Sutra failed, but the one I've perfected has reached the level of a god. It can harmonize the Yin and Yang within Ermeng's body, and while it allows me to face hardships, it can also further enhance my strength."

"If so? Would you allow me to witness this wonder?"
