Peacock is the proudest among birds.

Even more so, this one in the Martial World is the most terrifying peacock of all.

Hearing Hua Wen say that their master is someone he wouldn’t dare to offend, Peacock merely smiled slightly, a wicked, sinister smile.

There aren’t many in the Martial World that he dares not provoke, and even fewer in Yun State.

Or rather, the few that he can count on one hand cannot do anything to him.

Peacock once had his way with the granddaughter of the Sect Leader of the Great River Sword Sect; despite its disciples numbering in the hundreds to thousands and being a well-known large sect, they could do nothing about him.

He comes and goes as he pleases, takes what he wants when he wishes.

In recent years, he made fewer appearances in the Martial World, having grown weary from his deeds, but recently his interest has been piqued again.

If Duan Yun, the Old Demon Duan, is known as the newly emerged and most prominent demon of late, then Peacock has been infamous for much longer.

In many places, rumors of "Peacock the Man-Eater" are widespread.

Faced with this dangerous and terrifying Peacock, Hua Wen felt fear in his heart, directionless, yet knew he had to try.

Without trying, there would be no chance at all.

He had been hanging upside down for a long time now, feeling a tearing pain throughout his body, his head dizzy.

"Old Demon Duan, if you dare, go find Duan Yun, Old Demon Duan!" Hua Wen said through gritted teeth.

For a long while, Hua Wen and Hua Wu thought Duan Yun was an extraordinary wild Big Medicine, but after witnessing him kill the madman from the Thunder God and Mother Sect without uttering a word that night, they realized this Big Medicine could bite.

Later, after obtaining Duan Yun’s much-coveted "Jade Sword True Understanding" and beginning its rigorous practice, they turned themselves into women. Since then, they no longer saw Duan Yun as an easily deceived Big Medicine,

On the contrary, they even feared becoming Old Demon Duan’s Big Medicine.

All their suffering was wrought by Old Demon Duan.

So at this moment, Hua Wen brought up Old Demon Duan’s name in a bid to seek a sliver of life.

Hearing this response, Peacock, who had been smiling all along, stiffened for a moment, asking, "You mean Old Demon Duan, the one responsible for transforming people into the female state?"

Hua Wen replied, "Besides him, who else dares call themselves ’Old Demon Duan’?"

Seeing the change in Peacock’s expression, Hua Wen felt there might be hope.

Suddenly, Peacock seemed to think of something, confusedly asked, "Could it be that you..."

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha..."

At this time, Hua Wu burst into loud laughter, madly declaring, "Correct, we are the ones turned into the fallen state by Old Demon Duan, all along you’ve been defiling men!"

"Ha ha ha... Grandpa here remains unchanged and unabashed, with the surname Hua, name Wu; the renowned Lingshui Twin Heroes, that’s who!"

As he said this, the saliva dribbled down from his upside-down mouth.

To see a woman with a fairly attractive squarish face being tied up there, suddenly bursting into a rough and hearty laughter, made for a somewhat eerie scene.

Hua Wen looked at his own brother with shock, knowing that he had gone mad.

Yes, Hua Wu had gone insane.

The ordeal they had been through lately had been too much for him.

Truth be told, Hua Wen wasn’t faring much better; sometimes upon waking he would still think himself the manly hero he used to be, but each trip to the privy, having to squat down, would brutally pull him back to reality.

Sometimes, he felt as though he was trapped in a nightmare, waking up to find the bird intact, only to be unexpectedly visited by Aunt Flo.

He was starting to struggle to tell reality from fantasy, to determine whether such a self could still be considered a man or a woman. Would he continue to like women or gradually accept men, could he become pregnant, bear children?

Could people like them still find someone else to blame?

Hua Wu was clearly in a far worse state.

Hence, after being humiliated and ruined by Peacock in such a manner, he went mad!

As brothers, when one heart is disturbed, so is the other, Hua Wen felt himself on the brink of madness too.

His body, hanging inverted and naked, was covered with scars, his head painfully congested with blood.

"So go find him! Go find Old Demon Duan!"

"Dare you not?"

Hua Wen suddenly burst into tears, then burst into laughter, exposing his stark white teeth.

At this moment, the strange expression on Peacock’s face had vanished.

With a wave of his hand, the two red ropes fell, and Hua Wen and Hua Wu heavily dropped to the ground.

But the next moment, those two red ropes suddenly tightened again, yanking the two over like leashed dogs.

Peacock watched them with a sinister smile, and the already mad Hua Wu, upon seeing this beautiful face, couldn’t help but shiver instinctively.

"Old Demon Duan, nowadays just anyone dares to call themselves ’old demon.’ When this Seat was committing adultery in the royal palace and was called an old demon, this Old Demon Duan probably wasn’t even born yet."

"Would this Seat be afraid of him?"

Saying this, he yanked the sisters Hua Wen and Hua Wu like pulling two dogs, coldly saying, "Lead this Seat to him, and I will make him fall and grovel like a pig or a dog himself, this Star Fury."

"You creatures really make this Seat feel somewhat sick, but perhaps after debauching enough of you hermaphrodites, this Seat could barely adapt."

For a moment, the beautiful Peacock seemed even less human.

Thus, the spacious black carriage continued on its way, only now it carried a pair of twin Heroines, who were scantily clad.

During the journey of the black carriage, two horses were also on their way to Wangchun City.

Two almost identical black horses, each bearing a Goddess Catcher that looked nearly identical.

The black horses galloped, their riders’ ample bosom curves quivering in the same frequency as they moved.

It was yet uncertain if they needed assistance, but they had to find that Demon Duan first.

Meanwhile, in Wangchun City,aside from the madmen of the Thunder God and Mother Sect, there were a few more celestial women capable of consuming souls and corroding bones, frequently seen flying in the sky with men, committing adultery.

Of course, they had only one reason for coming here.

Duan Yun had no clue so many were looking for him, nor did he have the time to be aware.

For the Murong brothers, who had been reluctant to talk, had finally opened up.

"If you want to train in saber techniques, you ought to have a saber, right?" said the Murong brothers.

"Would a sword work? Swords and sabers are much alike," Duan Yun suggested, holding an iron sword.

"That won’t do."

"Then I’ll go and shave a wooden saber."

"That won’t do either."

"Then I’ll go buy a saber."

"I reckon that won’t work."

"Then what will?!"

"To master the ’Twelve Layers of Spring Rain,’ you can only use this one."

Saying so, one of the Murong brothers laying there flicked his wrist, flinging a piece of paper.

The paper, clearly thin and soft, flew toward Duan Yun like a brick.

Duan Yun looked at the oily piece of paper, puzzled. "A pawn ticket?"

"Redeem this saber and I will give you the secret book," said the Murong brother.

Duan Yun, surprised at the pawn ticket, exclaimed, "This saber is made of gold? Pawned for eight hundred taels!"

"Wait, do you know I have eight hundred taels?"

With a look of disdain, the Murong brother said, "You don’t have a fart’s worth of eight hundred taels; you only have three hundred and ninety-one taels, and a pair of jade bangles."

Duan Yun: "!!!"

What the hell, did you have some side business going on?

A saber worth pawning for eight hundred silver taels was naturally no ordinary item, but this cost Duan Yun a steep price.

Eight hundred silver taels, if not for the jade bangles that were sold at a fair price, he almost sold his donkey.

Though it cost eight hundred taels, Duan Yun now had a saber in his hand.

A saber worth eight hundred silver taels!

A saber that could make him a Dual Master of Sword and Saber!
