Chapter 169: Chapter 156 Old Demon Duan Brings Calamity to the Martial World, Never Stopping for a Moment! (Subscribe!)

Yushi Town, Green Jade Tea House.

Yushi Town originally did not have a tea house, but ever since Old Demon Duan’s bloody battle against numerous heroes at the graveyard, the influx of people increased, prompting the recent establishment of this tea house.

The popularity of this tea house also proved the foresight of the tea house owner.

Or rather, it could only be said that Old Demon Duan has really shown his mettle.

Old Demon Duan slaughtered all the heroes at the graveyard, not even the Peacock Demon escaping his deadly grip—his demonic reputation was now thunderous throughout Yun State, with heroes coming to the graveyard to observe incessantly.

However, according to normal circumstances, though this battle was fierce, the excitement was temporary; the place was shabby and old, filled with graves, the visiting heroes wouldn’t be endless, and after a wave of craze, the popularity should have rapidly decreased.

After all, major events transpire every day in the Martial World; today Old Demon Duan’s graveyard battle is trendy, who knows, maybe tomorrow some other person or event would be all the rage.

But what’s abnormal about Old Demon Duan is that he seems to be causing trouble anytime and anywhere, and always big trouble.

Not long after the graveyard battle, he created a story about the Jade Sword Sect "Acting for Heaven", which caused a disaster in the Martial World, and soon after, he went directly to Yu State, causing several major incidents. The episode of the Huangshan Heroine drenching the golden sword in urine, the bitterness between the Demon and the White Socks Sect born from love turning into hatred, all became classics.

Yes, even the popularity of a grand event like a duel with the Demon Zhu Xiang had to admit defeat.

Thus, after reaching the peak of his infamy, Old Demon Duan’s name never dwindled, it even surged more ferociously, saying he was the hottest figure in both Yun and Yu State over these years might be an understatement.

Those who decided to invest heavily in Yushi Town at the beginning all earned a fortune, and the Green Jade Tea House was just one of them.

This tea house originally only had two floors, but later on, two more floors were hastily added, not caring whether the foundation dug previously could bear the weight.

It couldn’t be helped, the business was too good. Who would miss out on the opportunity to make money?

In Wangchun City, where money is at the core, to a certain degree, money is power.

Now, Old Demon Duan, Shen Ying, Feng Ling’er, and the Murong brothers all sat on the third floor of the tea house sipping tea and listening to a storyteller.

Ever since the first time she heard the legend of Old Demon Duan from the storyteller, Feng Ling’er has become a regular here.

It could be said that after Shen Ying, she was yet another "fan girl" of Old Demon Duan’s stories.

The little Yuzhu Villa actually had two fan girls of Old Demon Duan.

Today’s tea drinking and storytelling were hosted by this newly joined fan girl.

Since there was nothing to do in the villa, all four of them came, leaving only Panda Dabai and Little Grey at home.

As for Monkey, who once again took Duan Yun to find a Divine Skill, he had disappeared.

Yuzhu Villa’s rare occasion of four people coming out to listen to a story indeed attracted quite a bit of attention.

No other reason, but at least three of the four were outstandingly attractive.

Actually, the one with the most ordinary appearance was also pretty decent today; after careful grooming and dressing up, he somewhat resembled the former elegance of Dehua.

And the storyteller Old Guo was also quite enthusiastic, bringing a new story today.

"A few days ago, a terrifying strange incident occurred in Qingsong Town in the northern part of Yun State."

"There is a coward named Li Kun in Qingsong Town who worked as a coachman. With great difficulty, he married a wife, whom he naturally cherished like a fairy. However, the wife was addicted to gambling, which quickly led her to squander Li Kun’s savings. She was even flirting around to make money for gambling.

Furthermore, rumors had it that Li Kun’s mother was harmed by this gambling-addicted wife."

"But as the most quintessential coward, Li Kun naturally forgave her and continued to toil hard to provide for his wife."

At this point, Duan Yun, Shen Ying, and Feng Ling’er all showed expressions of disdain, feeling that this coward was too spineless.

Only the Murong brothers spoke with deep affection, "If it weren’t for love, why would he bear all of this?"

"Yet, just a few days ago, Li Kun suddenly went berserk, according to neighbors, suddenly boxing at thin air, and it was quite impressive."

"After that, even more shocking news emerged; Li Kun’s wife only took out his savings and casually pawned the Family Treasure Jade left by Li Kun’s deceased mother for gambling, and as a result, she was punched to death by Li Kun."

"You hear this, isn’t it bizarre? A good-for-nothing coward who dared to kill his wife, whom he worshiped like a fairy—is this even human?"

At this moment, Old Guo’s expression suddenly became even more excited, exclaiming, "And what’s more horrifying, after killing his wife, this coward cried out, ’I want to be a Hero!’—are these words a sane person would say?"

"Was this Li Kun provoked by something?" someone questioned.

"It’s more than just being provoked; he’s completely lost his mind! Afterwards, it was said that this coward Li Kun’s Fist Technique became extraordinarily fierce, and he beat two cowards from the neighboring town to death alive, vowing that as long as he lived, he would be a Hero, set on killing all the cowards in the world!"

"And that’s just the first one. Afterwards, a humiliated coachman suddenly learned a good Fist Technique, and beat the Young Master who made him eat manure to death, all the while shouting ’I want to be a Hero!’—vowing to kill all the masters who bully their servants recklessly!"

At this point, storyteller Old Guo slammed down the block of wood used to gain attention and said, "Have you all figured it out? Clearly, someone’s playing dirty tricks behind the scenes!"

"Who could be behind those tricks?"

"What do you think?"

"It couldn’t possibly be Old Demon Duan again."

Old Guo suddenly said excitedly, "Exactly right! Who else but Old Demon Duan! Think about it. That maniacal act of shouting ’I want to be a hero,’ who else but Old Demon Duan, who enjoys playing the hero, could pull off such a stunt!"

"Exactly!"

"Exactly!"

"It must be Old Demon Duan!"

Since the time before when Duan Yun had acted as the hero, executing vigilante justice, and after the Jade Sword Sect revered the Heroic Venerate and wreaked havoc in the Martial World, the word "hero" had completely changed its meaning.

At least in Yun State and Yu State, as soon as the word "hero" is mentioned, people think of Old Demon Duan and his Jade Sword Sect, not the real heroes.

And Yun State and Yu State, which had already been in decline for many years, had so few remaining heroes that they dared not call themselves by that title anymore, fearing that clashing with the name of the Old Demon might displease him, bringing trouble upon themselves.

At this moment, storyteller Old Guo was brimming with righteous indignation as he spoke loudly, "Look at this, Old Demon Duan, never resting for a moment from troubling the Martial World.

An ordinary coward, at worst, would have been bled dry by a gambling-addicted wife, but he had to turn him into a fist-fighting husband who killed his wife, burdened with endless curses, and still wanting to be a hero, bent on killing all cowards in the world.

Folks, what wrong did the cowards do to deserve such a disaster?"

At this time, some listeners below the stage became anxious and asked, "Isn’t there anyone to stop him?"

"Of course, there is! It is said that with every coward he kills, his Fist Technique improves even further. In the Martial World, many cowards, endowed with their own unique skills, have gone to defeat him," Old Guo spoke with ease.

Hearing this, several people below the stage breathed a sigh of relief.

At this moment, a richly dressed young man anxiously said, "And what about the Coachman who dared to kill the Young Master? No matter how wrong the Young Master was, he can’t rise above his station and kill him!"

"The Coachman has disappeared, but there are even more people out to kill him!" said Old Guo.

At this time, someone asked, "The group that Old Demon Duan created before was called the Jade Sword Sect, so what’s the name of this new one?"

Old Guo said earnestly, "This time, there is no name."

"No name?"

"Some in the Martial World suspect that Old Demon Duan is trying to create an evil secret organization. The members of this organization murder under the pretext of ’acting as heroes,’ killing all kinds of people. For instance, the coward specifically targets cowards, Coachmen specifically target young masters, and others focus on their own targets.

Think about it, how many types of people are there in the Martial World? When being a coward and those young masters who make their subordinates eat feces are considered sins, does the Martial World have any more rules or laws? I think this Martial World is doomed to never have peace due to Old Demon Duan."

As he said this, Old Guo had an expression of heartfelt grief, teary-eyed.

Down below, whether it was the guilty-looking men or the young misses, or the listeners who were filled with righteous indignation, all began to throw their gratuity onto the stage.

Feng Ling’er and Shen Ying enjoyed listening and initially wanted to throw money too, but seeing Duan Yun with a gloomy face, they held back.

Feng Ling’er couldn’t help but say affectionately, "I didn’t quite believe them when they said you were blamed for so many things, but now I do."

These past days, she had been staying with Duan Yun, and aside from coming out to listen to stories this time, he hadn’t left the Mountain Villa; how could he possibly stir up so much trouble?

For a moment, she found Duan Yun rather pitiable and couldn’t help wanting to comfort him.

At that moment, Duan Yun said, "Today, no matter what, his legs will have to be broken again."

Feng Ling’er and Shen Ying were suddenly on high alert, and Feng Ling’er dissuaded him, "Don’t, I still want to listen for a few more days."

Shen Ying chimed in, "Three days!"

Feng Ling’er nodded, "Just three days, and we’ll break his legs for you."

Seeing Duan Yun still hesitant, Shen Ying quickly added, "I’ll definitely hit him hard! You trust my fists!"

It was not until then that Duan Yun nodded and said, "Three days! Not a day longer or I’ll drag you both to the cellar."

Upon hearing this, Shen Ying and Feng Ling’er’s hairs stood on end.

Anxiously, they nodded, their expressions serious, signaling they would definitely accomplish the task.

They had to succeed—Old Demon Duan’s anger could have dire consequences, and once in the cellar, they’d have no say in their fate.
