The Villain's Counterattack

"Is it difficult to surpass fate?" Duan Lang looked at Xiao Sanxiao, who had a serious expression but seemed not to care, and suddenly asked. Xiao Sanxiao glared at him unhappily and said, "Isn't it difficult?"

"is it hard?"

"Isn't it difficult?"

“Is it really that difficult?”

"If you keep talking nonsense, I'll beat you up, don't you believe it?"

Upon hearing this, Duan Lang put away his playful smile and straightened his clothes slightly. He coughed and cleared his throat and said, "To transcend fate, you must first understand what fate is."

Xiao Sanxiao glanced at Duan Lang and said with a cold laugh, "Do you know how many years I have lived and how many right and wrong, joys and sorrows I have seen in the world? You are talking about fate with me?"

Duan Lang also gave Xiao Sanxiao a sidelong glance, curling his lips in disdain and saying, "Old senior, who has lived for who knows how many years, do you know how many people's destinies you have changed?"

Xiao Sanxiao did not deny Duan Lang's words, but sighed softly, "Fate is fate, luck is luck. Small trends can be changed, but big trends are hard to defy. Supernatural powers cannot defeat destiny."

Xiao Sanxiao looked at Duan Lang and said dimly, "Let's not talk about those far away, let's just talk about Feng Yun. The Immortal God is extremely talented and gifted, his cultivation is earth-shattering, he possesses the Hundred Years of Heaven-Shifting Divine Art and the World-Destroying Demon Body, and Mahamudra has unlimited potential. Such a person, with such great magical powers, even ten or a hundred Feng Yuns would be unable to match him, but in the end, what will happen?"

"The immortal god has no place to rest after death. His entire cultivation ultimately benefited Fengyun. Who can he turn to for justice?" Xiao Sanxiao looked up at the sky and said quietly, "No matter how great his magical powers are, they can't defeat fate. He was merely a stepping stone for Fengyun's rise. Even with his vast magical powers, he can't escape the punishment of fate in the end."

Duan Lang looked at him with a smile and suddenly asked, "Senior, if you want to use your ability to forcibly suppress the Immortal God and prevent him from attacking Bu Jingyun, how confident are you?"

Xiao Sanxiao glanced at him and said, "Do you think I would ruin Fengyun's chance? The immortal god will suffer the consequences of his own actions. I have already given him face by not doing anything myself. How could I possibly help him and do something that would be thankless?"

He has been preparing for the great catastrophe of the millennium all his life. Fengyun is his greatest hope. How could he possibly cut off Fengyun's opportunity? He wishes there were more such opportunities.

"Different people have different destinies. The stronger and more influential a person's destiny is, the more difficult it is to change it. Even the immortal gods' destiny should be ended, so why should I do such a heaven-defying thing? You must know..." Xiao Sanxiao's voice became lower and lower, and gradually it could not be heard, but the look he gave Duan Lang was somewhat different.

The Immortal God has a strong destiny, and he should die completely in the end. Then what about the Demon Lord Bu Bai Suzhen who is as powerful as him?

Twelve Frightened Smiles and Three Smiles are not only powerful in martial arts and extraordinary in wisdom, but also have extraordinary intelligence. How could he not know about the Demon Lord? It seems that this person who was also destined to die is not dead.

Hearing Xiao Sanxiao talking about the Demon Lord, Duan Lang shook his head slightly and said, "How much do you know about the Six Great Demonic Ferrymen, Senior?"

One advantage of talking to smart people is that you don't need to say everything you want them to hear clearly. "What do you mean?"

Duan Lang nodded and sighed, "In fact, Bu Bai Suzhen is already dead, a hundred years ago. Even the Demon Lord who learned the secret of Bodhidharma's heart and fought alongside us in Shaolin Temple is gone. The only one alive now is a shadow who possesses all of the Demon Lord's memories and martial arts."

"The six great demon crossings?" Xiao Sanxiao fell silent, with a look of slight struggle on his face.

"While it's true that the Bu clan only produces geniuses once every century, the base number of ordinary people is much larger. Among millions or even tens of millions of people, there are always some peerless geniuses. Bu Bai Suzhen is one of the best. The power of her World-Destroying Demon Body is no less than that of the Heaven-Shifting Divine Art, and the six great demon crossings and the Earth-Pole Mahamudra she created are even more brilliant."

Duan Lang looked up at the sky and whispered, "Those who follow the will will prosper, those who go against it will perish. This is fate! Since we know our destiny, and we know that the big trends cannot be changed, but the small trends can be altered, then why not change them bit by bit, accumulating them bit by bit, until everything is completely changed!"

"You must know that a single spark can start a prairie fire, let alone a single person." Duan Lang said with a smile, "Senior is not the only one in the world who is good at divination. That unfortunate fellow, Clay Buddha, is also proficient in divination. If my prediction is correct, then the fate you calculated was not mine, but Duan Lang's, right?"

Xiao Sanxiao couldn't help but shudder when he heard this, "Boy, what do you mean by this?"

Duan Lang said with a smile, "I am not one to underestimate myself. I have also seen many things from Xiongba, Fengyun and others. Those with great luck have destiny, and destiny cannot be violated. Naturally, those around them are also inevitably burdened with heavy shackles. How can I be spared?"

"It's just that as someone close to the one with great luck, the one who bears the shackles of fate is Duan Lang, Nie Feng's best friend." Duan Lang's eyes gleamed with a faint light as he said, "The trend of heaven and earth cannot be changed, and the fate that Duan Lang has to bear is difficult to alter. But destiny only requires a skilled person named Duan Lang to complete a specific mission at a specific time, right?"

"You..." Xiao Sanxiao gave him a deep look and said in a deep voice, "Are you planning to create another Duanlang, a Duanlang that meets the requirements of fate?"

Duan Lang nodded vigorously, then smiled and said, "Senior, don't you think that I, the Duan Lang, am far from the Duan Lang of destiny? This kind of transcendence will inevitably cause fate to backfire, forcibly turning me towards the Duan Lang of destiny. In this case, why can't I give up my identity as Duan Lang and hand it over to the Duan Lang who is more in line with destiny?"

"This Duan Lang has the same age and appearance as me, and possesses the pure Duan family true qi and the Eclipse Sword Technique, which is more in line with the martial arts cultivation of Duan Lang in Destiny, as well as the memories that belong to Duan Lang in Destiny."

Hearing this, Xiao Sanxiao was startled and stared at Duan Lang intently. After a moment, he sighed and said, "Li Dai Tao Jiang, but if you do this, in the destiny, you will no longer be Duan Lang, but a dead man. Aren't you afraid of becoming an anomaly in the world and being eliminated?"

Duan Lang shook his head slightly and said, "If that were true, the Demon Lord would not exist now."

Xiao Sanxiao pondered for a moment and shook his head, saying, "Will things really go so smoothly? Can destiny really be escaped so easily? As you said before, the real Bu Bai Suzhen and the previous Demon Lord are actually gone. The current Demon Lord is just a new individual with her cultivation strength and memories. And you..."

"Everything depends on human effort. We should always give it a try. A static fate is boring, isn't it?" Duan Lang gave Xiao Sanxiao a deep look and said, "The land of China is vast and rich in resources, and there are many talented people. It's always good to reduce the loss of capable and good people, isn't it?"

"I saved the Demon Lord and Yu Sanlang. The wheel of fate is still rolling forward slowly. I will save more people in the future, including Feng's destined wife, Di Er Meng!" Duan Lang's words really moved Xiao Sanxiao.

"How can I help you?"

"What I seek is not only martial arts skills, but more importantly, intelligence!"
