The Counterattack of the Villains

Duanlang and Youruo sat slumped on the beauty's back, breathing heavily, so tired that they wanted to fall asleep.

At this time, both their physical and internal strength were almost exhausted.

At this moment, Duan Lang's heart was filled with awe, and he looked at Li Mu as if he was worshiping heaven.

Li Mu just said that he wanted to try their martial arts and asked them to do it together, Duan Lang was very excited.

He had never dreamed before that he would have the opportunity to compete in martial arts with the gang leader who claimed to be the second best in the world.

He knew that he was definitely no match for the gang leader. Whether he defeated the Fire Qilin with one move or defeated the Sword Master in Wushuang City, these were achievements that were beyond his reach.

But after actually fighting against the gang leader, he was surprised to find that the gang leader's martial arts skills were not as high as he thought.

When he and You Ruo joined forces, the gang leader only had a slight upper hand. He felt that he could defeat the gang leader if he worked harder.

Is it because he has taken Blood Bodhi and has made great progress in martial arts recently?

He was a little hesitant at first. He was afraid that if he and Youruo really beat the gang leader, the gang leader would be dissatisfied.

But after thinking about it carefully, the gang leader was eager for talents. If he and Youruo were really better than the gang leader, he would only be happy and would never be dissatisfied.

Thinking of this, he gradually increased his strength.

But he found that after he added a little more strength, the gang leader still had a slight upper hand.

After that, he seemed to be trapped in a demonic barrier, always feeling that he could defeat the gang leader as long as he worked harder.

Then again and again, he continued to increase his strength, and in the end, he did not hold back and used all his strength to attack, but Li Mu always maintained a slight upper hand.

Duanlang and Youruo kept squeezing their own potential, trying hard to make themselves stronger and stronger. As long as they were stronger, they would be able to defeat the gang leader.

In this way, they have indeed broken through their limits and improved their martial arts.

After nearly an hour and a half of fighting, Li Mu saw that the two of them were almost at the end of their strength, and then he exploded slightly and drove them back.

As soon as the breath was released, the two of them were immediately paralyzed from exhaustion. Their whole bodies felt weak and their legs were trembling.

It was only then that Duanlang realized that he and Youruo's actions had always been under the control of the gang leader.

No matter how much power they used, he always maintained only a slight advantage. This was a perfect demonstration of his perfect control of the battle situation and his ease.

After Duanlang took a deep breath, he asked respectfully: "May I ask the gang leader, how much power did you use just now?"

Li Mu smiled slightly and said, "Are you sure you want to know? Aren't you afraid of being hit?"

Duan Lang also showed a smile and said: "My subordinates will not be hit because in their minds, the gang leader is invincible."

"Haha..." Li Mu chuckled lightly and said, "What you say is not what you mean. If you really thought this way, you wouldn't use more force again and again."

"Uh..." Duan Lang looked horrified and said with a look of shame, "That's because the gang leader controlled the battle situation too well. His subordinates fell into the trap unknowingly and didn't realize it. They feel ashamed."

Li Mu shook his head with a smile, turned around and put his hands behind his back, looking at the lake and said: "Twenty percent, the martial arts of the two of you can force me to achieve the same level as my two. It is very commendable."

"hiss"

Duanlang took a breath of cold air, and Youruo's beautiful eyes widened, and said: "Then how much skill do you usually use when giving me moves?"

Li Mu turned to look at her, smiled and said, "Less than 10%."

You Ruo: "..."

Seeing Youruo looking deeply shocked, Li Mu said sternly: "You don't have to be discouraged. When you master the Xuanwu real skill and use it to kill all directions or destroy all directions, even dad will not dare to say that he can

Get away intact."

"The same goes for Duan Lang. When you master the 'Fire Lin Eclipse Sun' move and understand its sword meaning, you will be able to join the ranks of top masters. I will also keep an eye on you."

When the two of them heard what Li Mu said, they couldn't help but feel refreshed. You Ruo said with confidence: "Father, just watch, I will definitely master the true Xuanwu Kung Fu."

Duanlang also said: "My subordinates will never disappoint the gang leader."

Li Mu nodded happily. Youruo remembered something and asked again: "Dad, how is your investigation about the technique that can condense black ice weapons?"

Li Mu thought for a while, but decided to reveal some information first, so that it would not be abrupt when he had to deal with Tianmen in the future.

He solemnly said: "That skill is the secret skill of Luo Xian, the Lord of Luo City, but she only knows a little bit about it. I have been tracing the whereabouts of her master, but there has been no progress yet."

"The main reason is that Luo City belongs to the territory of the Supreme Court. The Tianxiahui can't reach out yet, so we can only visit it secretly."

"But don't worry, no matter how difficult it is, dad will definitely try to help you get the technique."

Duanlang's eyes flashed and he said: "Gang leader, I have something to say, I don't know whether to say it or not."

Li Mu smiled and said: "I know what you want to say. You want to ask me why you don't march into the Central Plains and completely dominate the world, right?"

Seeing that Li Mu was not taboo about talking about this matter, Duan Lang knew what was going on, and he let it go and said, "It's true that the Supreme Court has ruled the Central Plains, Jianghuai, Hedong, Jiangnan and other areas for many years, but has made no achievements."

"Each place is in charge of its own affairs, nominally obeying the Supreme Order, but doing its own thing. The people are still oppressed and exploited by the people in the martial arts world."

"Although it's not like Wushuang City where there are so many complaints and the people are in dire straits, it's still not easy. In recent years, many people on the border have migrated to the territory of Tianxiahui, which is clear evidence."

"Why don't you, the leader of the gang, take up the cause of justice, launch a unified war, unify China, and let the people live a good life?"

Li Mu sighed and shook his head, saying: "Although the people under the rule of the Supreme Court have a hard life, they can still maintain food and clothing. They have become accustomed to being ruled by the forces under the Supreme Court."

"Although the people in our Tianxiahui territory have lived a good life, only the people on the border can see a little bit of it, and the people in the hinterland don't know all this."

"Moreover, the martial arts forces of the Supreme Court are smearing our Tianxiahui and demonizing me, so the people are boycotting the Tianxiahui and supporting the Supreme Court."

"The Supreme Court has ruled the land of China for many years and occupies the orthodox status. The martial arts community in the Central Plains is also very xenophobic. There are all kinds of internal fights on weekdays. However, if there are foreign enemies, they will unite and become a monolith to deal with the outside world."

"If a war really breaks out, the Tianxiahui will not have the upper hand. Even if we can win in the end, it will be a tragic victory. We, the Tianxiahui, will have to sacrifice many good men."

Duanlang frowned and said, "But to achieve great things, someone has to shed blood and sacrifice. I believe that the leader of the gang knows better than his subordinates that kindness should not be used as a weapon."

Li Mu waved his hand and said: "There is a big difference between necessary sacrifices and unnecessary sacrifices. I have a balance in my mind about this."

"If you think that I am a benevolent woman, you are totally wrong. I have already made a plan. When the time comes, not only will the world be at your fingertips, but the martial arts community in the Central Plains will also have to be grateful to me."

"oh?"

Duanlang and Youruo looked at each other with surprise on their faces.

At this moment, Duan Lang suddenly remembered what Li Mu had told him before he sent him to garrison in the south.

At that time, Li Mu asked Duan Lang to pay close attention to the movements of the Japanese pirates along the coast, and secretly investigate whether there were people from Wushenjuegong among the Japanese pirates.

But if you find someone who is in Wushen Jue Palace, you cannot make an enemy of him. You only need to monitor him secretly. Could it be...

Thinking of this, Duan Lang asked tentatively: "Gang Leader, could this plan be related to Wu Shen Jue Palace?"

A smile appeared on Li Mu's face, he looked at Duan Lang with satisfaction and said, "Duan Lang, you are a smart man and someone I trust."

"Since you have guessed something, I will explain the plan clearly to you. This will also make it easier for you to cooperate with me better, so as not to ruin the big thing."

When Duanlang heard this, he said solemnly: "This subordinate will never betray the trust of the gang leader."

"Yes." Li Mu nodded, and immediately explained his plan to Duan Lang and You Ruoting.

As Li Mu narrated, the expressions of the two people changed. After listening, they even exclaimed.

Looking at the excited two people, Li Mu smiled slightly and said: "Anyway, remember, no matter what Wu Shen Jue Palace does, you must remain calm and pretend not to know."

"Don't have any contact with them, lest you become my weak point during the future reckoning."

"To be on the safe side, I asked Youruo to help you. Now that Anmintang is on the right track, everyone is performing their duties. Yang Zhen is enough to control the overall situation. There will be no problem if Youruo is not here."

Duanlang was overjoyed, knowing that Li Mu intended to help him and You Ruo, he immediately knelt on the ground, kowtowed and said, "Thank you, leader, for helping me."

Seeing this, Li Mu nodded with satisfaction. It seemed that he understood his hard work.

"Get up. After you've had enough rest, go back to your room and meditate to restore your skills. Once your internal energy is exhausted, practice immediately. Once you recover, you will be more diligent."

"You will set off back to the southern base in two days. If the plan goes well, the Tianxiahui will be able to successfully annex the Supreme Court within two years. By then, the entire southern part of China will be yours."

"Thank you, leader."

"Thank you dad."

…

The next day, Wen Chou Chou came to report something that made Li Mu's face suddenly darken.

"Reporting to the gang leader, the Clay Bodhisattva is outside the mountain gate asking for an audience."

Li Muhan said: "Ni Bodhisattva, I didn't go looking for him, but he came to visit me. It's interesting, it's really interesting."

After saying that, he asked Wen Chou Chou: "Did he come alone?"

Wen Chou Chou said: "It's a person."

"Yeah." Li Mu knew what he was talking about.

In the original plot, the Clay Bodhisattva tried to avoid the Xiongba in various ways, but finally couldn't escape, so he fell into the hands of Qin Shuangbu Jingyun. Finally, the Xiongba dressed up as a man in black and abducted him halfway.

Even when he came to the Tianxiahui, he tried his best to warn Xiong He that everything depends on man-made things. Destiny is just an astronomical phenomenon and should not be fully trusted. If you rely too much, you will only destroy yourself.

It was Xiong Ba who was stubborn and stubborn, so he had to do as he was told.

But now Li Mu didn't take the initiative to look for him, but he came to his door himself. Even if he said there was no ghost in it, he wouldn't believe it even if he killed Li Mu.

The roar of the dragon in the sky shakes the sky, and the wind and clouds meet in the shallow water. Success is also the wind and cloud, and failure is also the wind and cloud.

These few sentences are the main root cause of the great changes in the fate of Fengyun and Xiongba, leading to many tragedies. Of course, they are also an important node in advancing the plot.

Clay Bodhisattva is definitely not willing to come to see Xiong Ba, because he knows very well that after meeting Xiong Ba, he will definitely die.

But now that he has come on his own initiative, there is a high probability that he was coerced by someone.

Judging from the fact that he came alone and that his granddaughter, who was always with him, was nowhere to be seen, it must have been his granddaughter who was caught and used her life to coerce the Ni Bodhisattva to come.

The question is, who could be the person who coerces him? Who is it that wants to turn Xiong Ba and Feng Yun against each other and push Xiong Ba to a dead end?

The most important thing is, who would know so clearly what kind of criticism Xiong Ba will receive for his fate in the second half of his life?

There seems to be only one answer.

Li Mu had a hint of amusement on his face.

Seeing Li Mu's face suddenly darken after hearing his report, Wen Chou Chou's heart skipped a beat and he couldn't figure out what was going on.

He asked cautiously: "What are the gang leader's plans? Do you want me to send someone to drive him away?"

Li Mu sneered and said: "Drive him away? Why drive him away? Go and bring him in. In addition, call Qin Shuang, Nie Feng, Mingyue, Bu Jingyun, Duanlang and Youruo all over."

"Yes." Wen Chou Chou responded with a trembling heart, and hurriedly walked out. It had been a long time since he had seen the gang leader showing such a smile.

This kind of smile is really scary. Once the gang leader shows this kind of smile, it means someone is going to be unlucky.

Even killing people.

Li Mu sat on the gang leader's throne, crossed his arms across his chest, closed his eyes and rested his mind.

Not long after, Qin Shuang and six others arrived first. After the ceremony, Li Mu just asked them to stand aside.

They had already heard Wen Chou Chou say that it was the Ni Bodhisattva who had come to the Tianxiahui, so they did not ask any questions, but just stood aside and waited quietly.

After a while, the Clay Bodhisattva, carrying a wooden box on his back and his face covered with abscesses, followed Wen Chou Chou into the main hall.

"Gang leader, bring the Clay Bodhisattva here." Wen Chou Chou walked to Li Mu's side with a hunched waist and whispered.

Clay Bodhisattva cupped his fists and said, "See the leader of the male gang."

Li Mu still didn't open his eyes, but said slowly: "Ni Bodhisattva, I didn't come looking for you, why are you here?"

Ni Bodhisattva said: "Eleven years ago, I gave my instructions to the leader of the gang, and I got the comments from the leader for the first half of his life. Now that the comments have come true, I am here to give the leader the comments for the second half of his life."

Everyone in the hall looked at each other, and then looked at Li Mu.

But I saw the corners of his mouth curl up, and finally opened his eyes, and said slowly: "Now that I have accomplished my great work, my disciples respect their masters, their brothers and sisters are respectful, and my subordinates are loyal and sincerely united, and the people under my rule have enough food and clothing.

, live and work in peace and contentment.”

"I can already see what the rest of my gang leader's life will be like, so I don't need you to give me any further orders."

Hearing Li Mu's words, Qin Shuang, Nie Feng and others in the hall all had smiles on their faces, and then looked at the Clay Bodhisattva in a joking manner.

Ni Bodhisattva's eroded cheeks shook, and he said bravely: "It is said that the heart of heaven is unpredictable and fate plays tricks on people. Who dares to say that he can completely control the future?"

Li Mu really wanted to say I dare, but he had no confidence in saying this, because after all, Xiong Ba asked the Clay Bodhisattva to approve his life eleven years ago.

It was also because of his comment that "golden scales are not like things in a pond, they turn into dragons when encountering storms", which led him to accept two of his disciples, Nie Fengbu Jingyun and others, to help him conquer the world.

This kind of thing really depends on the person. It doesn't mean that just two masters can do it, because to conquer the world, it doesn't just require strong martial arts.

An idea, a decision, a strategy, or an oversight by a general can often determine the outcome of a war.

Even a word or an attitude toward people can have an important impact on world affairs.

If it weren't for Nie Fengbu Jingyun, if it were two other people, the results might have changed due to different ways of thinking.

Therefore, Nie Fengbu Jingyun's role in Tianxiahui is truly irreplaceable. To a certain extent, this is indeed a kind of destiny.

Of course, Li Mu also knew very well that from the moment he was replaced, the so-called destiny had been broken and no longer existed at all.

The simplest point is that after he became the Overlord, he was already immortal and his lifespan was endless. How could there be a first half of life and a second half of life?

On this point, the instructions given by the Clay Bodhisattva are no longer consistent.

The criticism he gets will only reflect the fate of his original body, Xiong Ba, not his fate, Li Mu.

That being the case, let me completely crush the so-called destiny from this moment on!

Thinking of this, Li Mu looked at the Clay Bodhisattva and said, "Are you sure you want to approve my life for this gang leader? Why do you care so much about my fate and rush to approve it for me?"

Mud Bodhisattva lowered his eyelids and said: "Because the fate of the leader of the male gang is related to the fate of the people in the world, so you must not be careless."

"Demon Suppression Museum"

Everyone in the hall heard this and thought it made sense. The gang leader was the backbone of the Tianxiahui and the benefactor of tens of millions of people. His good and bad fortunes had a huge impact on the people of the world.

So Qin Shuang clasped his fists and said, "Master, you may or may not believe in instructions. Back then, Master also listened to Ni Bodhisattva's instructions and accepted Junior Brother Feng and Junior Brother Yun as his disciples."

"Facts have proved that the criticism has been fulfilled. Master might as well see what results he can come up with this time. As for whether you believe it or not, that is Master's business."

Li Mu muttered: "Shuang'er, you don't understand. Just as the Ni Bodhisattva said, God's heart is unpredictable and fate plays tricks on people. Criticism may be good or bad."

"As a teacher, I have also been thinking over the years, if I did not follow the instructions back then, what would happen now?"

"If the teacher failed to follow the instructions and accepted Feng'er and Yun'er as his disciples, which resulted in another result, wouldn't it mean that the instructions were not an absolute destiny?"

"Sometimes you don't know your future destiny. If you follow your own path, it may be a good result."

"Knowing the destiny of the future, and the criticism is not good, so if you do some untimely and superfluous things, you may fall into the trap of destiny."

After listening to his words, everyone was thoughtful and nodded slowly subconsciously.

Li Mu stood up and took a few steps forward, and then said: "But you must be very concerned about my future destiny. If so, let the Clay Bodhisattva give it a try."

"I would like to see what kind of traps destiny has prepared for me, and whether they can catch me."

Nie Feng went to bring a table. Ni Bodhisattva untied the wooden box on his back, assembled the life tray on the table, and performed the secret technique of fortune telling.

Then he looked at Li Mu and stretched out his hand for fortune telling, and said: "Master Xiong, please."

Everyone gathered around the table. Li Mu stepped forward and placed his hands on the horoscope. The horoscope with the Eight Diagrams of the day after tomorrow was immediately turned around.

Channels of golden light spread from Li Mu's palms, and finally converged on the Tai Chi Yin-Yang Fish in the center, turning into a large stream of golden light and projecting out.

Li Mu closed his palms and stepped back. The next moment, golden fonts floated up from the Tai Chi diagram, forming two sentences of criticism.

Wen Chou Chou looked at the criticism and recited: "The roar of the dragon in the sky is shocking, and the wind and clouds can swim in shallow water... This, this, this... how is this possible?"

Nie Feng and Bu Jingyun's expressions also changed drastically, with disbelief on their faces.

The sneer that frightened Wen Chou Chou appeared on Li Mu's face again.

He looked at the Clay Bodhisattva and said, "Why don't you explain it?"

Clay Bodhisattva's face twitched, he took a deep breath, and said in a trembling voice: "The meaning of this criticism is that success is a matter of wind and cloud, failure is also a matter of wind and cloud, the mother has to force herself, and everything is left to chance."

Nie Feng shouted angrily: "You are talking nonsense, what is your conspiracy?"

At this time, Qin Shuang, Bu Jingyun, Duan Lang, You Ruo, and Mingyue all had internal energy waves surging around them.

Some people stared at the Clay Bodhisattva, while others looked at Li Mu nervously.

"Hehehe...hahahaha..."

Just when the atmosphere in the palace was stagnant to the extreme, Li Mu suddenly looked up to the sky and burst out laughing, leaving everyone in silence.

"Peng"

The next moment, Li Mu's laughter suddenly stopped and he slapped the birth chart, turning the birth chart and the table under it into fragments.
