The Villain's Counterattack

"In the face of absolute strength, even fate must bow!" Wuyazi (Duanlang) stepped on Xiongba, spat in his face, and said lightly, "Do you think I wasted so much time talking to you before because I was lacking in strength and was trying to persuade you to retreat with words?"

"Haha, you're not worthy enough." Wuyazi (Duanlang) sneered, "Maybe there is such a thing as destiny. Everyone in this world has their share of disasters and tribulations. But in the face of absolute strength, a mere tribulation is nothing."

"You can become the Clay Buddha's calamity, but it's just because you have higher skills than the Clay Buddha. If that's the case, why can't I, a strong man who is stronger than you, break the Clay Buddha's calamity? It's just like now, I can suppress you with my backhand, and the Clay Buddha's calamity will be solved by itself, simple and easy." Wuyazi (Duanlang) looked up at the sky. The sky was clear, there was no wind or rain, and there was no thunder.

But is it really that easy to change destiny?

This is not the case. First of all, it is not easy to know one’s destiny, let alone change it.

The reason why the Clay Buddha was able to defy fate and change his destiny was, firstly, that he truly knew his destiny and had a clear understanding of his father's fate and made corresponding arrangements; secondly, the weight of his fate was not heavy, and the disaster was only Xiongba's pursuit and silencing. For Wuyazi (Duanlang), who was half a step away from becoming a god and half a step away from transcendence, it was completely within his ability.

But rescuing the clay Buddha is not without cost. Heaven and earth pay more attention to him, as if it is a warning, but also seems somewhat helpless.

Wuyazi (Duanlang) didn't dare to kill Xiongba now. He just had a little thought, and he felt a chill in an instant, which made him realize that fate was not so easy to defy. Even seriously injuring him was not an option. He could only humiliate him and leave with the clay Buddha and his grandson.

"Boss Xiong, I, the Clay Buddha, swear to heaven that I will never tell anyone about your fortune telling. If you break this oath, you will be punished by heaven and earth!" The voice of the Clay Buddha came from afar and gradually disappeared. Xiong Ba slowly stood up, his body shook slightly, making crackling sounds, and the acupuncture points that were blocked by the dislocated bones and muscles returned to their positions and were unblocked, but the bruises on his face would take some time to dissipate.

"Clay Buddha." Xiongba snorted coldly. Suddenly, he heard footsteps in his ears. His eyes turned cold and he jumped away.

The laws of nature are constant. They do not exist for the sake of Yao, nor do they die for the sake of Jie. The Clay Buddha is not the protagonist of the world. Without him, the world cannot function. Wushuang City lost the Clay Buddha only because the Tianxia Association succeeded. Feng Yunshuang and the other two lost the Clay Buddha, but they were unwilling to give up easily. They chased him to a valley and found two bodies, one old and one young. They had no choice but to withdraw their troops and return to the Tianxia Association.

On the other side, Dugu Ming received instructions from Wuyazi (Duanlang) and returned to Wushuang City. Nie Feng tracked Dugu Ming and met Duanlang (a substitute) on the way. The two of them inevitably got close to each other when they met, but Duanlang (a substitute), who was carrying out his master's orders, only wanted to delay time to allow Dugu Ming and others to escape.

"Feng, some things can only be done but not said. The birth of the Clay Buddha this time will definitely cause some waves, and it must be related to Xiongba. You, remember to be careful and don't let yourself be tricked by that old bastard Xiongba." Duan Lang (the stand-in) was not polite to Xiongba at all, but Nie Feng didn't take it to heart.

He is a kind person. Even though Xiongba has many faults, the assassin still did not arouse Nie Feng's hostility and murderous intentions. He still regards him as his teacher. Naturally, it is impossible for him to take Duan Lang's words to heart, even though Duan Lang is his best friend.

The two hadn't seen each other for a long time, so naturally they talked a lot. Duan Lang (the stand-in) even took the initiative to ask him for a few moves. Both of them were masters of the Broken Realm. Although Nie Feng entered this realm earlier, he could not withstand the magical weapon such as the Fire Scale Sword in Duan Lang's (the stand-in) hand, and his sword skills were extraordinary. He easily fought Nie Feng to a draw.

Duan Lang (his stand-in) successfully completed his mission to hold Nie Feng back. He estimated that Dugu Ming had already retreated, so he said goodbye to Nie Feng and ascended. Before leaving, his voice could be clearly heard: "Feng, kindness isn't a bad thing, but some people don't deserve your kindness. Xiong Ba, the world's most powerful leader, will dominate the world. You and Bu Jingyun enjoy great prestige, and have become his biggest concern. Remember not to let your guard down!"

Nie Feng shook his head slightly. He knew Xiongba a little bit and knew that his master was definitely not a good person. Emotional people sometimes like to deceive themselves and be optimistic, even judging others by themselves.

"Master really knows how to make people suffer. Wushuang City has long been a thing of the past. Is there any need to revive it? Compared to reviving Wushuang City, wouldn't it be more convenient and faster to directly seize the Tianxia Association?" Qinggong has always been the strong point of Xiaoyao Sect. As the third-generation successor of Xiaoyao Sect, Duanlang (the stand-in) is also good at Qinggong. He is quite proficient in Flying on Grass, Floating on Water, Golden Goose Kung Fu, Crossing the River with a Reed, and Spiral Nine Shadows. He has even mastered Lingbo Weibu, so it is not difficult for him to catch up with Dugu Ming.

After meeting Dugu Ming and Shi Wuzun, Duan Lang (his stand-in) took the initiative to propose the idea of ​​asking the Sword Saint to come out and kill the Tianxiahui's Optimus Prime Xiongba, so as to defeat the Tianxiahui in one fell swoop and revive Wushuang City.

"The Tianxiahui reveres Xiongba. Xiongba is a tyrant, a tyrant and ruthless warrior. His word is law and he will not tolerate disobedience. Everything in the Tianxiahui is under his control. It can be said that the Tianxiahui belongs to Xiongba alone. Even if the three hall masters under him, Feng, Yun, and Shuang, are illustrious warriors and renowned in the martial arts world, if Xiongba falls, the Tianxiahui will fall apart in an instant. Even if it doesn't disappear immediately, it will definitely be severely damaged and fall into chaos."

Duan Lang (his stand-in) pointed directly to the core and said, "Xiong Ba has no descendants, and the Tian Xia Hui has no designated successor, which is its biggest weakness. What's more, if the Sword Saint kills Xiong Ba openly and honestly, it is not impossible for him to publicly nominate the Young City Lord to become the new leader of the Tian Xia Hui!"

"The idea that the strong are respected has been deeply rooted in the bones of the Tianxia Gang. They regard Xiongba as the most respected. In their view, defeating Xiongba and becoming the new pillar and the new respected is natural." Duan Lang's (substitute) words made Dugu Ming and Shi Wuzun look at each other in surprise, feeling quite strange, but when they thought about it, they felt that it was quite reasonable.

In the martial arts world, the strong are respected, and whoever has the bigger fist has the final say. This is normal. However, it is really puzzling that such a powerful force that almost dominates China is in danger of its leader falling and its power disintegrating.

But when you think about it again, after the defeat of Wushuang City Lord Dugu Yifang, the city was leaderless and Wushuang City was conquered by Tianxiahui. It seems not difficult to understand. However, the Dugu family of Wushuang City is a family power, and Dugu Yifang is not without descendants. Therefore, the young city lord Dugu Ming still gathered some subordinates and continued to act in the name of Wushuang City. It was not completely destroyed by Tianxiahui.

"Xiongba is incredibly powerful, and few in the world can rival him. Wushuang City is in ruins, and if we want to restore its prestige, only the Sword Saint can personally take action and kill Xiongba. There's a glimmer of hope." Duan Lang (his stand-in) continued, "I once stayed at the Tianxia Association and accidentally learned that the remnants of the Tianchi assassin organization, which was destroyed by the Sword Saint, are hiding in the Tianxia Association. These people are elusive and difficult to guard against, and their hatred for the Sword Saint is as deep as the sea. If we can't eliminate them soon, I'm afraid the future will be..."
