The counterattack of the villains

Chapter 143 The Transformation of Duanlang

In the early morning, according to Xiongba's memory, Li Mu called his maid to change his clothes.

He decided not to act rashly for the time being, and before stepping out of his own "Tao" and cultivating his own "Intent", he should not know the existence of Di Shitian.

Anyway, now that he has a body that is invulnerable to all poisons, the poison he secretly cast has no effect on him.

Didn't know what Di Shitian's Tao was, or did he not understand his own Tao at all?
If judged by Li Mu's way of thinking, he would give Di Shitian the word "gou".

Back then, because he couldn't beat Wu Wudi, he simply got up and endured the time until Wu Wudi was beaten to death, and then he came out to make trouble again.

It simply brought Goudao to the extreme. If Di Shitian had his own way, it must be Goudao.

Looking at Di Shitian's martial arts, the Sacred Heart Art has powerful defense and healing abilities, and can even bring the dead back to life, making people live forever. What is it?
In terms of martial arts, whether it is the Four Sacred Hearts or the Four Sacred Hearts, or Ditian Kuanglei and Wanren Piercing Cloud, they all belong to the category of "strength" and do not contain any "intent" in them.

He is also relying on the vast cultivation base he has accumulated for 2000 years, and he is using force to suppress people.

When encountering an opponent whose skill is far inferior to his, but whose realm is higher than his, he will have to rush to the street.

In other words, as long as Li Mu comprehends his own Tao and makes his martial arts meaningful, he will be able to stably torture the dead Emperor Shitian.

The main task of this reincarnation is relatively clear, because Xiongba's obsession is very simple, just one: dominate the world, become the supreme martial arts, and create his own iron bucket.

But although obsession is simple, it is not easy to achieve.

He didn't care about such forces as Wushuang City, Supreme Court, Wushenjue Palace, Ten Great Sects, Tiexin Island, and Sword Worship Villa.

With the power of Tianxiahui and his martial arts, plus the advantage of foresight, three attacks, five divisions and two can be settled.

His real opponent is actually only Tianmen.

As long as Tianmen exists for a day and Di Shitian does not die, he will definitely stir up wind and rain in the dark.

If you can't destroy this power, how can you talk about dominating the world?What kind of iron bucket is it?
But this force is indeed too terrifying. If those martial arts masters collected by Di Shitian were released at one time, it would be enough to level the current arena several times.

Even the Tianxiahui cannot stop the Tianmen's all-out attack.

If he wants to destroy Tianmen, the world will naturally be his foundation. The most important thing is that he has to win over all the masters he can win over and unite all the forces that can be united.

First of all, there should be no problems within the Tianxiahui. The three apprentices must be well-wrapped. As for Duanlang...

Li Mu spread out his arms and let the maidservant arrange his clothes and accessories, but he was thinking about how to turn Duanlang into a sharp knife in his hands.

Duan Lang is ambitious, but in the end he is only interested in fame and fortune. In fact, this is a very useful sword. As long as you give him the power he wants, he can cut people for you.

But this person is also a double-edged sword. If you use it well to hurt others, if you use it well to hurt yourself, you have to grasp it yourself.

Tomorrow is the day of the martial arts competition among the gangs. This time the martial arts competition will determine the masters of the three halls.

Maybe we can make a fuss about this matter.

After the maid helped him tidy up his clothes, he bowed respectfully and stood aside, Xiong Ba said to a maid: "Go, call Wen Chouchou."

"Yes."

……

In the morning, Duanlang was as usual, sweeping the fallen leaves on the ground with a broom.

Although his martial arts are not low, he is just a handyman with the lowest status in Tianxiahui, and even the status of maids is higher than him.

But at this moment, his heart is full of fire, because tomorrow is the day to choose the hall master, and his chance to stand up has finally come.

Suddenly, he faintly heard two conversations. When he heard who the speaker was, he couldn't help but tiptoe to the edge and listened intently.

At this time, he was on a high ridge, with a drop of nearly ten feet. Above it was an aisle, and there were steps not far away for going up and down. At this time, he was leaning against the ridge.

"Chou Chou, what do you think of Duanlang?"

With his hands behind his back, Li Mu strolled out from the corner and walked to the aisle above where Duan Lang stood.

Wen Chouchou was a step behind Li Mu, bowing slightly, with a flattering smile on his face as always.

After listening to Li Mu's question, Wen Chouchou pondered his thoughts, and said cautiously: "Young Duanlang, he is naturally far behind the three young masters."

Duanlang's face darkened at the bottom of the ridge, and he snorted secretly in his heart, you blind bastard, wait until Duan Lord gains power in the future, and see how I can deal with you.

Li Mu said: "No, on the contrary, in the eyes of this sect leader, Duanlang's aptitude and understanding are by no means inferior to Shuang'er's and the others, and his diligence and tenacity are even worse."

Wen Chouchou said in a puzzled way: "So the boss is actually very optimistic about this kid, so why these years..."

Li Mu smiled and said, "Why did you deliberately suppress him all these years?"

Wen Chouchou smiled flatteringly, and said: "The leader of the sect has deep meaning in doing this, and I don't dare to speculate."

Li Mu glanced at him with a half-smile, and said, "Aren't you the best at guessing the intentions of this gang leader? If you weren't so clever, how could you be in this position today?"

"Hehehe..."

Wen Chouchou covered his mouth with the feather fan in his hand, let out a shy and awkward chuckle, and said in his mouth: "The kindness that the leader treats the little one is as great as a mountain, and the little one naturally wants to share the worries of the leader wholeheartedly."

"But the leader's wisdom is as deep as the sea, how can a small person guess everything? Please give me some guidance."

Even Xiongba is used to Wen Chouchou's flattery, and Li Mu doesn't take it to heart.

"Duanlang is actually a man who can be made, but he has one of the biggest weaknesses, that is, his temper is too impetuous, and because he is the son of Nanlin Jianshou, he is quite arrogant."

"I saw a few of them when I was young. Duanlang is the youngest, but he always wants to stand out when things happen. He looks like the boss of everyone."

"To put it nicely, it's responsible, but to put it bluntly, it's extremely ambitious. This kind of disposition is easy to be exploited. If you let it go, you will end up becoming a traitor or committing crimes."

Duanlang at the bottom of the ridge was terrified when he heard it, he didn't expect that he would have such an impression in the leader's heart, this is very bad.

Just listen to Wen Chouchou: "Since this is the case, why should the leader keep this person? Shouldn't all dangers be killed in the cradle?"

Li Mu sighed, and said: "This gang leader is reluctant. If this son can be cultivated, he will become a general of our Tianxiahui. It's a pity to kill him like this."

"So I deliberately suppressed him all these years, and let him be a handyman with the lowest status, just to sharpen his temper and let him learn to be modest and prudent."

"Otherwise, if I show that I value him, he will inevitably be arrogant, offend many people, and cut off his future prospects."

"In the past ten years, when I taught Shuang'er and the others martial arts, this kid often secretly learned from the sidelines and practiced martial arts hard in private. The leader of this sect knows all these things clearly."

"If it were another person, he would have died a hundred or eighty times earlier, and that's why he, the leader of the gang, was so indulgent."

Duan Lang's body trembled violently, his face turned green and pale, he never thought that the fact that he secretly learned martial arts, the gang leader actually knew about it.

Moreover, he deliberately let it go. It turned out that the gang leader suppressed me in order to train me, but I not only failed to understand the gang leader's good intentions, but also harbored resentment.

Duanlang was both moved and ashamed.

Li Mu stopped suddenly, turned to look at Wen Chouchou, and continued, "Chouchou, you have found Duanlang stealing martial arts many times, but you just drove him away privately and never reported it to the leader of the gang. want?"

Wen Chouchou's complexion changed drastically, he knelt down on the ground with a thud, and begged for mercy in a trembling voice: "Leader, please forgive me, the little one didn't mean to deceive the leader, it's just...just..."

Li Mu snorted coldly and said, "It's just that you were moved with compassion and didn't want him to be discovered and die at the hands of the gang leader, right? Do you think you can really hide it from the gang leader with your little thought?"

Wen Chouchou kowtowed and said: "The leader of the gang is very aware of the details, and Chouchou knows his mistake."

Li Mu said indifferently: "Get up, fortunately, you were wrong and you didn't spoil the affairs of the leader of the clan, but if you dare to lie to the leader of the clan again in the future, you will definitely be executed."

"Thank you, guild master, more guild masters, the little ones don't dare."

Duanlang at the bottom of the ridge was tongue-tied and ashamed.

He also remembered that when he was a child secretly watching the gang leader teach martial arts, Wen Chouchou spotted him several times and drove him away with beatings and scolding.

I was still resentful towards him all the time in my heart, and I couldn't think of his real intention, which was to protect myself.

But when I was young, I couldn't think of so much.

If the gang leader had no intention of cultivating himself, Wen Chouchou didn't drive him away at that time, but exposed him, and now he is afraid that there will be no bones left.

Just now, he was still thinking about how to get revenge on Wen Chouchou's Duanlang after he gained power, but at this moment, only gratitude and guilt remained in his heart.

After Wen Chouchou got up, he tentatively said: "Guangzhu, you want to cultivate Duanlang wholeheartedly, but he doesn't seem to realize this, and now he is becoming more and more arrogant and frivolous."

"When the announcement of the hall master selection was posted yesterday, it was as if he already had the chance to win the hall master."

Li Mu sighed again, and said: "In these years, he has indeed disappointed me time and time again. I originally imagined that there would be four schools in the world."

"Because there are four directions in the world, and when we will rule the world in the future, we need four hall masters to guard the four directions for me and build an iron barrel."

"In addition to Tianshuang Hall, Feiyun Hall, and Shenfeng Hall, there should be another Surging Wave Hall. Duan Lang is the son of Nanlin Jianshou, and he has an innate advantage in guarding the south."

"But now it seems that we have to wait a little longer. With his martial arts, he will surely reach the final tomorrow. I will summon him and order him to lose to Shuang'er and the others."

"Then look at his reaction. This can be regarded as my last test for him. If I am satisfied, I will send him out to do a few more things and make a contribution."

"In this way, it is justified to promote him as the master of Mountain Dew Hall."

"If he harbors resentment towards this matter, then there is no need to waste the hard work of this gang leader and drive him out of the Tianxiahui directly."

"I have given him so many years and so many opportunities, but he still can't realize it. What is the use of such a person as the leader of the gang?"

Wen Chouchou quickly complimented: "The leader of the gang is wise, and the leader of the gang has been benevolent to Duanlang. If he doesn't live up to it, he can't blame others."

"Well, I'm telling you this so that you can be prepared so that you can cooperate with each other at critical moments. The leader of the gang can still trust you with the tacit understanding between you and me."

"Thank you for the trust of the leader, the little one is willing to do everything for the leader, until he dies."

The voices of the two gradually faded away, and Wen Chouchou, who was walking behind Li Mu, didn't notice the slight curvature of the corners of Li Mu's mouth.

Duanlang couldn't calm down for a long time, and his eyes were even a little red.

The leader treats him with such good intentions, but he still doesn't know it, what an idiot.

But he felt a little wronged. When he was a child, he was a leader in everything, but he just wanted to protect Nie Feng and his friends, but he was regarded as ambitious. Who can I ask for reason?
But regarding impetuosity and arrogance, after he reflected on his words and deeds, he found that he had nothing to refute.

But he still felt that he just wanted to be recognized by others too much, and wanted to be reused by the leader.

Fortunately, I overheard these words today, everything is still too late, and his chance to change his destiny has come.

Duanlang's eyes were full of excitement, Master Dew, I'm done.

……

Tianshan Mountain, located in the northwest of the land of Shenzhou, towers into the clouds and is the head of the mountains in Tianyin City. The Tianxiahui General Altar is located on the top of Tianshan Mountain.

The altar house in the main altar is built against the mountain. It is majestic and majestic, and it is amazing.

A majestic and majestic palace stands in the north, and above the palace hangs a plaque with five gold-plated characters of "the first building in the world".

To the west of the main altar is a vast school field, and a bluestone arena stands in the center of the school field.

In the school grounds, thousands of Tianxiahui disciples, dressed in red sleeveless vests and black trousers, knelt on one knee with their fists folded, and shouted in unison: "The leader is wise, Wencheng Wude, and God will rule the world."

Li Mugao raised his hand on the throne of the gang leader, and said, "Excuse me, let me be flat."

"Thank you, Lord."

This kind of behavior is like an image of an emperor.

The world view of this side of the world is very strange. Due to the high overall force value, top masters often have the power to destroy a city by one person and form an army by one person. Martial arts masters are above ordinary people.

Therefore, in this world, there is no concept of country and emperor at all. The ruler is called the supreme ruler of the martial arts.

Those who rule the world are those Jianghu sects and martial arts families who support the supreme martial arts, and they are equivalent to officials at all levels.

The army is also composed of people who practice martial arts, so the number will not be too many. In this world, ordinary people do not even have the qualifications to serve as soldiers.

Unless it was adopted by the army since childhood, it will be passed down from generation to generation like the disciples of the Tianxiahui.

It is precisely because of this wonderful world view that the world will rise strongly and occupy half of China.

As the leader of the largest gang in the world today, Xiongba is no different from the emperor.

In today's era, according to humanistic customs and social forms, it is almost equivalent to the Ming Dynasty.

But the pattern of the world, before the rise of the world, is more like a chaotic world of warlords.

The supreme imperial court is almost just a decoration, and can only barely maintain the stability of the eastern, northeastern and central plains of China.

Disputes and killings continued in other places, until Tianxiahui rose in the northwest, and Xiongba trained three outstanding disciples, Qin Shuang, Bu Jingyun, and Nie Feng.

Under the expedition of the disciples of the Tianxiahui led by the three of them, the northwest, west, southwest and part of the northern and southern regions of the land of Shenzhou have all fallen under the control of the Tianxiahui.

Although during this process, many people in the martial arts world died in the conquest, but after being occupied by the Tianxiahui, there were almost no major disputes in these places.

This is of great benefit to ordinary people.

Now the world is divided into three parts, and the world will be in a tripartite confrontation with the Wushuang City in northern Shaanxi and the Supreme Court in the Central Plains.

Tianxiahui is undoubtedly the most powerful party, similar to Cao Wei at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, followed by the Supreme Court, which is equal to Sun Wu, and Wushuang City is the least powerful, just like Shu Han.

After Li Mu's replacement, Wushuang City can be said to be in Tianxiahui's pocket, and it can be taken easily without even sending Nie Feng.

Afterwards, they only need to make a good plan and annex the territory of the supreme court, and then they will be able to rule the world and gather all their forces to deal with Tianmen.

The day when Tianmen is destroyed is when he ends his reincarnation.

"Everyone, this time the battle for the throne of the hall master, the gang master wants to be fair, we, Master Shuang, Master Yun, and Master Feng, all have to participate in the competition."

"Today's preliminary competition, six able persons must be selected to participate in the final selection."

"Everyone should cherish this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and go all out to let the leader see your abilities."

"Even if you fail to win the position of hall master in the end, you will definitely be reused by the gang master."

As soon as Wen Chouchou's words fell, cheers like a tsunami resounded in the school grounds.

The competition started soon, and this time the competition was matched by drawing lots, which was relatively fair.

The reason why it is relative is naturally because the black box operation will exist anyway, but this black box operation is not too disruptive to fairness.

Li Mu just ordered that Qin Shuang, Bu Jingyun, and Nie Feng should not confront each other.

There is no doubt that the martial arts of the three major disciples will be second only to Xiongba in the world, and the others are naturally no match.

But there are also many masters, and some of them are even only half a chip weaker than the three major disciples.

In the original drama, Duanlang was ruthless and merciless, beating his opponent to the point of breaking his bones and tendons in the contest, almost crippling him.

But after overhearing Li Mu's words, he played very gently this time. After defeating his opponent, he cupped his fists and said, "Give way."

Seeing this scene, Wen Chouchou said to Li Mu in amazement: "Master, Duanlang seems to be a little different."

Li Mu nodded with a smile and said, "That's right, the hostility is not so strong, it's a good sign."

When Duanlang stepped down from the stage, he secretly glanced at Li Mu, seeing his smiling face, he was obviously very satisfied with himself, and couldn't help but feel secretly happy.

And this time he didn't show up like in the original drama, but stood aside very low-key.

Because of this, he didn't cause Bu Jingyun to look down upon him and take the initiative to provoke him, which led to him challenging Bu Jingyun by name.

The contest lasted from morning to dusk, and the top six were finally freshly out.

Wen Chouchou's pretentious voice sounded again in the school field: "Everyone, after a fierce competition, the six masters who entered the finals have all emerged."

"They are the three disciples of our leader, Young Master Shuang, Young Master Yun, Young Master Feng, Yang Zhen from the Wudang School, Xu Hong who once studied in Dongying, and Duanlang, the son of Nanlin Jianshou."

"Tomorrow, three hall masters will be decided. The victory will belong to the strong. Let us wait and see who will be the hall master."

After Wen Chouchou finished speaking, there was another burst of cheers on the school field.

Li Mu took a deep look at Duanlang, got up and left, with a smile on his face all the time.

Everyone dispersed, and Duanlang left the school field surrounded by his disciples who had good friends with him.

Back in the courtyard of the residence, a disciple named Hong Yu asked Duan Lang: "Duan Lang, do you have the confidence to defeat the three direct disciples of the sect masters?"

Duan Lang pondered: "I saw their skills today, and I have some confidence, but I will not defeat them."

Everyone was puzzled when they heard the words, and a disciple asked, "Why is this? Haven't you always wanted to be famous?"

Duanlang shook his head and said: "It is enough to enter the top six. Even if you can't be the hall master, you will definitely be reused and have a chance to stand out."

"The three of them are the gang leader's disciples. If I beat them, wouldn't I be taking the gang leader's face?"

All the disciples suddenly realized, Hong Yu gave a thumbs up and said with a smile: "That's right, Duan Lang, you are not only good at martial arts, but also so considerate in dealing with people, who will come out on top if you are not out there?"

"When you get up in the future, don't forget to take care of us brothers."

Duanlang suddenly felt a sense of enlightenment. The original him was just trying to strive for the top, to stand out, and to be better than others in everything.

But such an approach is not pleasing at all, and what he said just now is only based on the words of the leader, to let him know what to do is best for him.

At this moment, Hong Yu's words made him realize that this is the so-called tact in dealing with people.

At this moment, Duanlang actually realized that the world is not about fighting for power, fighting and killing, but about the way of the world.

A cheerful smile appeared on his face, he put his arms around Hong Yu and another brother's shoulders, and said, "Don't worry, everyone, if Duanlang develops, I will never forget my brothers."
