Indestructible Body Of Vajra Of The Village Leader-Chapter 1104 - 870: The Martial World Once Again Settles Disputes by Reason!
Name!
At birth, a person is given a name by their elders to follow them, and those without a name thus have one.
As they grow up, they hear others’ names sounding more prominent than their own, so they also wish for their name to become just as prominent, or even more so, and thus those without fame become famous.
Very few take the time to ponder that neither names nor fame were something they possessed initially; it’s all because of others that they have them. As a result, they spend most of their lives striving for them, only to realize in their twilight years that fame has vanished as quickly as their energy, realizing their life’s struggle was ultimately in vain.
Most people only grasp this truth in their old age, but Duan Shuai has yet to do so, as he is not old.
Moreover, when the Duan family was once proudly prominent, Duan Family Manor was much more illustrious than it is now.
Today, the vast Duan Family Manor has fallen into destitution, with nothing but the grand family estate and the ancestral Fire Qilin Sword remaining.
Indeed, when the gold is gone from the bedside, the hero is left without pride. Compared to the growing power and formidable might of Unrivaled City and the World Association, Duan Family Manor has undoubtedly become decrepit and forgotten.
If not for securing the title of "Nanlin Sword Leader" with the Fire Qilin Sword in the Martial World, Duan Family Manor might not even compare to the current Huo Family Manor.
Therefore, two years ago, Duan Shuai entrusted his son, Duan Lang, to distant relatives and traveled across vassal states, hoping to find and defeat North Drinking Mad Saber Nie Renwang to restore the Duan family’s prestige.
Unexpectedly, upon hearing news of Nie Renwang, he learned that the latter had allied with Black Wind Village Chief in the Ming Country Palace to confront Xiong Ba of the World Association, gaining even more renown.
He pursued relentlessly, only to find that Nie Renwang had returned to live in seclusion near Leshan.
All these years, Nie Renwang had been living right next to Duan Family Manor, yet Duan Shuai amusingly searched far and wide across the Martial World.
...
At this moment, under the twilight, the setting sun was as red as blood, as vivid as fire, forming a wide, dazzling wave of light, dancing on the statue of Buddha, shimmering on the water’s surface, like flickering gold.
Across the riverbank, the many Martial World people who had come upon hearing the news further ignited his desire to rejuvenate the Duan family’s glory.
It turns out his title of Nanlin Sword Leader still resonates strongly in the Martial World.
Evidently, these Martial World people recognized his identity and speculated about his intention to challenge North Drinking Mad Saber Nie Renwang, leading them to gather here to watch the battle.
This also indicated that someone had already seen Nie Renwang and that he was surely on his way.
In his excitement, Duan Shuai’s face involuntarily grew more devilish, and a faint, sinister smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Buzz!! —
Unknowingly, the green hilt in his hand glowed with a scarlet light once more, emitting an astonishing aura of evil energy, buzzing and trembling as if extremely excited.
Duan Shuai, aware of the heavy evil energy of the Fire Qilin Sword, supposed that it sensed the presence of the opposing Snow Blade and became excited. He quickly stood up to scan the crowd on the opposite bank for Nie Renwang’s figure, raising his sword and shouting.
"Nie Renwang, come out, I know you’re here, I’ve sensed you’re here! Only you can make my Fire Qilin Sword this excited."
The crowd suddenly burst into a commotion.
"Duan Shuai is here for Nie Renwang?"
"Is Nie Renwang hiding among us? Is there a hidden mission?"
"Goodness, can we watch a spectacular battle before Black Wind Village Chief arrives?"
Chirp! —
Amid the burning red twilight sky, a high-pitched eagle cry suddenly echoed.
Three large birds appeared on the distant horizon, two as black dots and one as a point of light like a flame burning in the air.
The many players waiting expectantly at the riverside couldn’t help but get excited.
"Black Wind Village Chief is here too!"
"The show is about to start! I’ll go offline for a quick relief, back in three seconds, keep my spot, brother."
"Don’t go offline, even for three seconds there’s not much time, hold it in, they’ll surely pack tightly, you’ll be trampled when you get back online."
...
"That is..."
On the Buddha’s shoulder, Duan Shuai stared suspiciously at the three approaching birds on the horizon, his eyes narrowing as he thought of a possibility and a person.
"Black Wind Village Chief!? Why is he here too?"
He knew well that Black Wind Village Chief was domineering and wild, fond of fierce battles, and should Nie Renwang appear with this person, it would be quite tricky.
However, he soon calmed down.
He believed that if he challenged Nie Renwang, with Nie Renwang’s character, he wouldn’t let others interfere in their battle.
This thought barely passed Duan Shuai’s mind when his expression changed again, realizing that on the three rapidly approaching birds, there was no sign of the tall and fierce figure he had seen five years ago.
But there was another figure, even taller and seemingly commanding all life like a Demon God, sitting majestically on a large chair in the sky, exuding a menacing aura as oppressive as black clouds, making Duan Shuai feel an urgent, echoing voice in his heart upon seeing this imposing man — Danger! Danger! Extremely dangerous!!!
Beside him, on the backs of two exotic birds, stand figures exuding exceptional auras, each giving him a faint sense of threat. This signifies that these people are all experts at the Heavenly Human Realm.
"What a formidable lineup!"
Duan Shuai’s pupils narrowed slightly.
Buzz!!
At this moment, the Fire Qilin Sword in his hand burst into an intense heat and evil energy, vibrating violently.
Duan Shuai’s face showed an increase in evil energy. Realizing that the Fire Qilin Sword was excitedly vibrating due to the arrival of the Black Wind Village Chief and not because of Nie Renwang, the long knife handle protruding from the back of the Black Wind Village Chief’s seat behind him was particularly striking.
"Nanlin Sword Leader—Duan Shuai..."
As Jiang Dali approached, he naturally noticed Duan Shuai standing on the shoulder of the Buddha, with the Great Strength Fire Qilin Saber behind his back trembling slightly, echoing with the Fire Qilin Sword in Duan Shuai’s hand, even showing a hint of timidity.
"Nanlin Sword Leader... Why would he appear here? It seems like he’s deliberately waiting for you?"
Lu Xiaofeng, standing on the Demon Hawk’s back beside him, looked at Duan Shuai in surprise, then at Jiang Dali in curiosity.
"He shouldn’t be waiting for me, but for Nie Renwang."
Jiang Dali shook his head while looking at Duan Shuai, then showed an intrigued expression and said, "Although, I am indeed somewhat interested in him."
His gaze shifted to the Fire Qilin Sword in Duan Shuai’s hand, showing a curious expression. He lightly tapped his foot, and the Demon Hawk beneath him instinctively flew closer to the Buddha.
"Black Wind Village Chief."
Duan Shuai took a deep breath, gazing at Jiang Dali and his companions as they spiraled down from the sky, with intense alerts ringing in his mind.
It felt as if a voice kept echoing in his head, urging him to stay restrained and composed.
But the Fire Qilin Sword in his hand emitted astonishing evil energy, continuously impacting his spirit, intensifying the evil expression on his face. He also noticed the great blade behind Jiang Dali, seemingly from the same origin as the Fire Qilin Sword but radiating a timid Sword Intent, which both emboldened and gained courage in his heart, sweeping away all hesitation and retreat, thinking to himself.
"Old friend, since you’re not afraid, why should I, Duan Shuai, be afraid? Since I didn’t meet Nie Renwang today, meeting someone whose fierce reputation surpasses Nie Renwang’s, the Black Wind Village Chief, if I can defeat him, it will equally bring glory to my family and restore the prestige of my Duan family!"
Thinking this, Duan Shuai’s gaze turned cold, his mind once again calm as a deep abyss, watching Jiang Dali’s figure spiral down from the exotic bird, hovering slightly higher overhead. He suddenly let out a cold sneer, "Black Wind Village Chief, do you look down on Duan because you refuse to speak with me face-to-face?"
Jiang Dali placed his large hands under his chin, looking down calmly at Duan Shuai, saying, "It’s not exactly looking down on you. It’s just that this village chief doesn’t really enjoy dealing with unfamiliar people! Unless Duan Shuai’s appearance demands this village chief to come down and speak with you?"
This statement had quite a provocative tone, as the words were confrontational and tense. Plus, Jiang Dali’s voice was thunderously loud, making many Martial World people on the shore, who had sharp ears, hear it, causing them to be shocked and excited.
"Shit, Brother Li is just Brother Li. He completely disregards the Nanlin Sword Leader, inflating others the moment he speaks!"
"Love it! Brother Li still has the old taste; his mouth is like a pump, inflating people with every word, even a balloon would burst."
"Learn from this, a daily tip for getting beaten up, the village chief’s divine taunt skill is in full force again."
"If I were Nanlin Sword Leader Duan Shuai, I damn well couldn’t bear it today! Even if it means death, even if I have to jump off the Buddha, I will fight to the death!"
Duan Shuai’s face quickly turned gloomy, deeply humiliated by Jiang Dali’s words and the commotion from the opposite shore, infuriated to the point that his throat felt like it was blocked with smoking cotton as he said coldly to Jiang Dali.
"Black Wind Village Chief, do you think Duan is afraid of you? I came here today not for you, but if you seek trouble, I’ll accompany you to the end!"
"Seek trouble?"
Jiang Dali chuckled lightly, half-closing his eyes, looking at Duan Shuai with a bland tone, "Are you here for Nie Renwang?"
Duan Shuai squinted his eyes, replying coldly, "That’s right, if you know of his whereabouts, you can inform me. Duan will definitely reward you handsomely!"
Jiang Dali smiled faintly, "Handsely? With your ancestral Fire Qilin Sword?"
Duan Shuai’s eyes immediately shot out an intimidating glare, his anger rising again.
Jiang Dali continued, "Why are you looking for him?"
Duan Shuai shouted in anger, "As the Nanlin Sword Leader, I’m on par with the North Drinking Mad Saber. I’m here to challenge him and defeat him to prove I’m stronger."
"What a coincidence!"
Jiang Dali opened his hands from his chin, displaying his signature faint and quirky smile, pointing to Xiao Feng on the Divine Phoenix beside him in astonishment, saying, "This brother of mine was once known as Beixiao Feng, and this village chief was also known as Nan Dali back in the day. Old Nie is considered my brother, and since you, Duan Shuai, today want to challenge my brother, the North Drinking Mad Saber, while he happens not to be here, why not let me, Nan Dali Jiang Dali, accept this feud on his behalf?
I think the title of the Nanlin Sword Leader collides well with my own, Nan Dali. So why not determine the winner and also decide life and death today!"
Duan Shuai froze, the anger in his chest suddenly stalled by the lingering thought, his momentum wavering.
On the riverbank, many Martial World people and players had their minds boggled by Jiang Dali’s bizarre logic, and after a while, some players reacted and couldn’t help but find it absurd.
Everyone knows the Black Wind Village Chief loves to convince people with reason, but if reason fails, he will resort to forcibly imposing his will. However, this reasoning is too far-fetched, clearly heading towards the familiar path of forcing people...
