Wrongly practicing evil skills, imitating the laws of nature.

Chapter 202: Rush! Good and evil, beauty and ugliness, the ultimate showdown! (7K subscription required!)
Duan Yun walked into the snow temple, and was greeted by a very long corridor.

The corridor is lined with bright yellow walls and is well maintained.

At this moment, four crazy Lei guys who heard the news came over.

Seeing Duan Yun and the corpse on the bamboo pole, the expressions of the four Lei Fengzi changed drastically, and the iron flutes on their heads vibrated, making a buzzing sound.

“Four Powers in One!”

The four people's eyes were suddenly filled with fierceness.

Almost at the same time, a sizzling sound was heard.

Lightning suddenly appeared from those iron flutes.

There was a hint of excitement in Duan Yun's eyes.

Unexpectedly, these crazy people also mastered the secrets of thunder and lightning.

The next moment, the lightning above the four people's heads connected together, forming a mysterious formation, rushing towards Duan Yun.

The lightning roared and turned into an electric net, flying towards Duan Yun like a fishing net.

As a caught fish, Duan Yun stood there, motionless.

With a loud bang, the electric net trapped Duan Yun, and Duan Yun's figure flickered inside.

The iron flutes above the heads of the four thunder madmen vibrated even more violently, and were bound to knock Duan Yun to the ground.

But the next moment, they heard a cold voice - "Is this all your strength?"

"Oh, that's so disappointing."

Duan Yun raised his hand and grabbed the flowing electric nets. The next moment, even thicker electric light surged out of his palm.

The next moment, the four Thunder Crazy Men trembled, and even more terrifying electric light wrapped around their bodies.

At this time, a young Lei madman in the back said with a numb mouth: "Big pot, his electricity is thicker than ours, what can we do?"

"I don't know a thing."

"He is a sinner, kill him."

As soon as the man finished speaking, the lightning net surrounding Duan Yun turned into a lightning whip.

Duan Yun waved his hand, and the thunder whip turned into five continuous whip shadows, like thunder.

In the blink of an eye, three Crazy Leis were knocked to the ground, their bodies blackened and they died suddenly. The youngest Crazy Lei was left kneeling on the ground begging for mercy.

"Mercy! Warrior, mercy!"

"I'm still young."

Seeing that he was so cowardly and not even completely a bad guy, Duan Yun hesitated for a moment and continued walking forward.

As a result, just when the young madman Lei breathed a sigh of relief, he heard a loud bang and a fist hit his back, knocking him to the ground.

This punch seemed powerful, but the young Crazy Lei found that he was not seriously injured or died.

He touched his chest and found that he was only slightly injured. Before he could feel happy, a strong emotion suddenly filled his brain.

The emotions were so fast and so intense that they were about to overflow!

"I want to be a hero!"

Crazy Lei's eyes turned red and he suddenly spoke.

"Why do you want to be a hero?" Duan Yun asked.

"The hero is so good! The hero is so awesome! I want to kill someone! If you don't kill me, I will die!" Crazy Lei suddenly said heartbreakingly.

"Then who do you want to kill?"

"Kill Li Dashan!"

"Why kill him!"

"That bitch, she just relied on her good looks to hook up with the Third Elder, and now she has become the Third Elder's exclusive property. She will never wear white socks and let me stick my butt out again!"

"No! I want to be a hero! I want to kick his ass hard! I want to kill, kill, kill!"

Duan Yun looked at the crazy Lei in front of him, shook his head, and said angrily: "You want to be a hero with such low awareness? You are still a male ketone!"

A jade sword shot out, piercing Lei Fengzi's heart, and he fell to the ground struggling.

Before he died, he was still shouting, "I want to be a hero!"

"I want to stick out my butt!"

With a click, before he could finish his words, he and the other three were hanging on the stick.

This bamboo pole is at least two meters long, and now it is densely packed with people, making it look like an oversized candied haws.

The temple under the snow-capped peak is very deep. Duan Yun carried the "Tanghulu" all the way up.

At this time, if he saw a madman named Lei, he would use his Jade Sword Finger. If he met someone with strong vitality, he would use two strikes. If he met a master, he would shoot him into a sieve.

He really killed one if he saw one, and killed a pair if he saw two.

Before when he was in Linshui City, he killed the people of Xuanxiong Gang in this way, and this time, he killed Lei Fengzi in the same way.

Crazy Lei is much stronger than the naughty kids in the Xuanxiong Gang, but now under his command, they are just a matter of having two more fingers.

They are just chickens and dogs.

The white snow and the bright blood mixed together formed a beautiful picture in this ancient temple on the snowy mountains.

At this time, the temple building was almost reaching the cliff.

The corpses on his bamboo pole had already been squeezed and deformed, and many had fallen off along the way, but there was no room for any more people.

In Xiaolei City, some bloodthirsty people followed behind.

As they walked, they saw snow and "abandoned" bodies along the way.

This outsider is killing madly!

Whether it was the "Ugly Lady" of noble status in the city, or the "Lord Lei" who was both noble and powerful, they were all dead!
They were all decent people, living a decent life of torturing and humiliating beautiful women and men every day to find some fun in their boring lives. Some of them just listened to Lei's raping and wanted to kill this "beautiful beast", but they were all killed by this demon who appeared out of nowhere!
The bloodthirsty storyteller Xiao Xue was among them, his face very pale.

As a storyteller, his eyes were sharper and he noticed that many of the scattered corpses were ugly.

How could Old Demon Duan be so cruel and ruthless that he would kill all the ugly ones?
What a deep prejudice this is!
At this time, with a thud, Duan Yun had already inserted the bamboo pole with the ugly men hung on it into the ground, like a battle flag.

Because he saw two crazy thunder men holding long spikes walking towards him.

One of the two men was splashed with yellow paint and the other with green paint, so one looked like a banana and the other looked like a cucumber.

But Duan Yun knew that this should be the most powerful opponent he had encountered since he entered Xiaolei City.

This "cucumber" and "banana" are one very tall and thin, and one very short and fat.

Even though their bodies were splashed with paint, you could still see the tadpole characters engraved on their skin, which are called thunder characters by the disciples of Leigong and Laomu.

After seeing these Ravens, Duan Yun decided to cut off their skins and study them carefully.

After all, that's how he realized the Bei Ming Divine Art.

The temples of both of them were swollen, and their aura began to surge. The Raven on their bodies, who was extremely tempting in Duan Yun's eyes, began to flicker with the changes of their flesh and blood.

But at this moment, a voice floated over from the palace behind.

"Guangming, Guangzhi, you are no match for him, let him in."

"Yes, Master."

The two men looked at Duan Yun with cold eyes and reluctantly made way for him.

As Duan Yun walked in, he said, "Don't leave later."

This sentence has a bit of the flavor of "Don't leave after school!"

Yes, he hasn’t cut his skin yet, how can he let these two evil demons leave so easily!
The sect leader should be inside.

Take care of the big ones first, then the small ones, in short, no one should be left behind.

The palace in front of us is not very grand and is not much different from an ordinary house.

But as soon as he entered, Duan Yun saw a fat and colorful sculpture standing there.

This is a human-shaped creature with a face that looks like a kind-looking old lady, but a very long red nose that almost reaches the ankle.

The combination of the kind eyes and the red nose makes him look both dignified and evil. He looks like both a benevolent Bodhisattva and an evil demon.

Is this a sculpture of Lei Gong and Lei Mu?
Duan Yun continued to walk inside and saw a woman with twin ponytails in a green dress.

She was facing a red-nosed statue as tall as a person.

This statue should also be Lei Gong and Lei Mu, but their faces are wrapped in red cloth.

She had her back to Duan Yun and did not turn around, so Duan Yun could only see her back.

Honestly speaking, it was somewhat beyond his expectation that the leader of the Leigong Laomu Sect was a woman with twin ponytails.

Duan Yun's expression has become solemn.

The woman stood there, with the long iron flutes on her head like two lightning rods, and her whole body was in a very empty state.

The so-called "emptiness" is "nothingness", so Duan Yun felt as if he was facing an abyss, and it was difficult to see its depth.

"I have been listening to thunder for half my life. The Thunder God and Thunder Goddess once taught me that this world is too narrow-minded and needs to be more tolerant."

The woman with twin ponytails said softly with her back to him.

She spoke in a very soft voice, giving people the illusion that her voice was floating down from the clouds, as if it was a divine instruction, sounding solemn and mysterious.

Duan Yun listened to this and felt that there was some truth in it.

"My mother once said that a person should decide his or her gender from the moment he or she is born. Even if she is a yang body, if she identifies herself as a woman, she is a woman. Even if she is a yin body, if she identifies herself as a man, she is a man.

There should be no discrimination against their views in the world, and discrimination is a sin."

"You are carrying a sword and you are full of sword spirit. You must be the 'Old Demon Duan'. You killed my sect elder, but I did not pursue the matter because you have done a great job and can make the world forgive you.

I have already done some in-depth research and found that there are hundreds of different genders in the world."

Duan Yun raised his eyebrows and said, "There is a big bathhouse in Leizhou, where men and women are clearly separated. In your opinion, if a woman who believes she is a man goes to the bathhouse, should she go into the men's pool or the women's pool?"

"Of course it's Nüchi. She considers herself a woman, so she is a woman, even if she has a penis."

"What if the women in the female pool don't want to?" Duan Yun asked.

"Then they are sins! The sin of intolerance!"

"My mother once said that there should be no distinction between beauty and ugliness in this world. Ugliness should not be lowly, and beauty should not be privileged!"

Duan Yun's forehead veins emerged, and he said, "But in this Xiaolei City, it is obvious that the handsome ones are despised, and the ugly ones are bullied everywhere."

"That's because handsome people are inherently guilty! My mother once said that throughout history, handsome people have enjoyed too many conveniences and privileges. If there were no handsome people in this world, then ordinary people and ugly people would all be able to obtain great happiness."

"They are here to atone for their sins!"

As she spoke, the girl with twin ponytails raised her hands and turned around.

At this moment, Duan Yun was almost suffocated.

The woman had fair skin with a hint of black, a flat nose, and thick, intestinal-like lips that turned outward, revealing her yellowed teeth. When her eyes looked at him, they revealed a vulgar and obscene look.

Duan Yun never thought that a woman with twin ponytails dressed so beautifully would look like a female gorilla.

No, comparing her to female gorillas is an insult to female gorillas.

Duan Yun couldn't help but swear, "Are you damn sure that this was said by my mother, and not a personal vendetta?"

"How dare you! I only hope that this world will be full of tolerance, and people will no longer have to worry about gender or appearance."

"So what you do is to treat handsome people as pigs and dogs, and only ugly bitches like you are worthy of being human? Then have you ever been tolerant towards handsome people?" Duan Yun asked.

"I have said that throughout history, they have taken too many advantages! They make ordinary people who should have happiness lose true love, and make ordinary people who should have walked hand in hand for life feel inferior. They are born guilty!
You should atone for your sins!"

"Bullshit! What are ordinary people and mortals? They are just ugly dogs like you whose faces are uglier than pigs but whose hearts are higher than the sky!"

"You can't get true love, so you think it's the handsome people who stole your happiness? You want to have no worries about appearance, so you have to make good-looking people worse than pigs and dogs? The ancients said that the ugly sow is a crooked urinal, and they are talking about this ugly sow!"

As soon as these words came out, the woman's expression changed, and the dark wrinkles on her face came together.

"What? Are you unhappy with my good looks? Don't even mention what you want to do to the human world. Even if you have such wishful thinking in this small Leicheng, I will smash it to pieces! I will kill all those ugly dogs you support, what can you do about it?" Duan Yun said sarcastically.

"I can kill you! Kill all the guilty slaves in the world and create a world without beauty and ugliness!" The woman narrowed her eyes and spoke angrily.

"Kill me, then come on."

Duan Yun stood there and said.

"come."

The ugly female leader's eyes were as sharp as needles as she replied.

In just a moment, the entire palace was filled with a solemn and murderous atmosphere, and the air seemed to be frozen.

The ugly female leader stretched out her right hand as an invitation to Duan Yun to fight, and her whole body became even more ethereal.

For a moment, Duan Yun was even more unsure of her depth, but he still strode over.

If he doesn't beat this ugly bitch to death today, he's not a hero!
If the air was solidified mud and rocks, then Duan Yun at this moment was like a boat sailing against the current against the rocks.

In two steps, Duan Yun had stood still and stretched out his right hand.

The air around them became more solidified, and the table next to them creaked as if it could no longer bear the weight. Three feet, two feet, one foot, seven inches, four inches, two inches.
The hands of the two men were getting closer and closer. Suddenly, Duan Yun's expression changed and turned into a sword finger, emitting a sword light.

The sound of dong is like the morning bell and evening drum.

Duan Yun's figure rushed backwards and stopped only after crashing into the wall with a bang.

At this moment, the iron flute on the ugly girl's head disappeared, and then emerged from her palm like lightning.

How could this slender and sharp iron flute be able to penetrate and shoot into her body?

As soon as Duan Yun stood still, the ugly woman's feet emitted a flash of lightning and attacked him again like a feather arrow.

With a clang, the knife in Duan Yun's hand was unsheathed and collided with the iron flute in her palm.

The next moment, the iron flute disappeared suddenly, and the knife in Duan Yun's hand suddenly slid to the side due to inertia, while the ugly girl had already raised her foot.

With a swish, the iron flute came out from one of her toes and stabbed her fiercely.

With a clang, sparks exploded.

Although Duan Yundao did not move, he still blocked it because his sword was already unsheathed.

The next moment, Duan Yun's head tilted and a hole had been pierced where he had just been.

At this time, the other iron flute on the ugly girl's head also disappeared.

Dangdang Dangdang!
Chi Chi Chi!
For a moment, a dense and teeth-grinding sound was heard in the house. It was the sound of the iron flute and swords colliding and rubbing against each other.

Duan Yun's swords in both hands were as violent as a storm, and this ugly woman seemed to have iron flutes coming out of her body, which were as fast as thunder and unpredictable.

In the blink of an eye, the two sides had exchanged hundreds of moves.

After Duan Yun mastered the skills of both sword and knife, he often practiced fighting with both hands, with the left-hand knife and the right-hand sword competing against each other, and his speed increased rapidly.

It can be said that there are not many swordsmen in the world who are faster than him in swordsmanship, and there are also few swordsmen who are faster than him in knife skills. He has never met anyone who can compare with him in sword and knife skills.

Even the Huangshan female hero, who was famous for her sword, couldn't force him to use even 50% of his speed.

But today, he encountered it!

The iron flute of this ugly woman was fast and cunning, and most importantly, its power was extremely fierce. Even if he increased the speed of his sword to 100%, he was still stretched to the limit.

With a loud bang, his body was forced to break through the wall.

The next moment, sword energy flew behind Duan Yun, and Xiaoyu in black silk emerged.

"Hold the bird's tail!"

While shooting with both hands, Duan Yun also grasped the sword hand and clenched his sword fingers.

The next moment, as the golden sword stabbed forward, Xiaoyu's dozens of jade hands and jade sword fingers shot out sword energy.

A string of dense sparks exploded in the air, like the scene of magma falling and exploding on rocks.

A sword energy from the jade sword shot off a strand of hair from the ugly female leader, and the clothes on Duan Yun's shoulder were also torn.

Even with Xiaoyu shooting out the jade sword finger, Duan Yun still didn't gain any benefit, and was even falling into a disadvantageous situation.

He thought he was very strong in close combat, especially the blade storm formed by his sword, which always killed whoever he swept into.

But this ugly woman could actually make two iron flutes shuttle through her body at high speed and continuously shoot out from various parts of her body. The speed was so fast and the trajectory was so strange that it was simply unbelievable.

Yes, even if Duan Yun wanted to launch a blade storm and more powerful moves, he simply couldn't do it.

Because the opponent didn't give him time to gather strength, not even time to catch his breath!

It was as if this ugly woman's body itself was a magical weapon, extremely deadly.

At this time, the ugly female leader said, "How about my 'I'll Kill You for Three Thousand Years'?"

She didn't open her mouth at all, but sounds came out. That's because her abdomen could speak, which is the legendary "ventriloquism".

Her "I will kill you for three thousand years" is the close combat at hand. In the words of the leader of Leigong and Laomu Sect, even gods can be entangled to death.

In the martial arts world, the hardest to mess with are swordsmen, the harder to mess with are famous swordsmen, and the best not to mess with are famous Taoist priests who wield swords.

Thirteen years ago, a strange Taoist priest with red shoes appeared in the martial arts world. He was famous for his bright red shoes and his quick sword.

This Taoist priest with red shoes killed the "fastest swordsman in the South China Sea" as soon as he entered the martial arts world. He then defeated ten famous swordsmen in succession and became very famous. However, he disappeared three years later.

Along with his red shoes.

There are many different opinions about the whereabouts of the Taoist Priest Red Shoes. Some say he died of a serious illness, some say he suddenly became possessed, and some say he met his love, returned to secular life, got married and had children.

After all, the Taoist priest in red shoes always wears a bamboo hat, and few people have seen his true face.

But only a few people know that the Taoist Priest Red Shoes met Yan Rufeng.

That is the leader of the Leigong Laomu Sect in front of you.

At that time, Yan Rufeng was not yet the leader of the Leigong and Laomu Sect, but he had already mastered the unique skill of "Entangle your Life for Three Thousand Years". The Taoist monk in red shoes, whose sword was as fast as blood, was also entangled by him, and his hands that were using the sword were pierced with dozens of holes by the iron flute, becoming disabled.

This was also the only one of Yan Rufeng's men who was entangled and escaped.

Afterwards, her "I'm determined to kill you" became even more deadly.

In fact, the fact that Duan Yun had persisted until now was somewhat beyond Yan Rufeng's expectations, because even the Red Shoes Taoist back then had been defeated by her after so many moves.

The old demon Duan in front of her is worthy of being the most popular demon recently. He can persist for so long while she takes the next step of "killing you for three thousand years".

My men were shocked to see that the leader failed to take down the enemy for a while.

Because he had never seen anyone who could withstand so many moves under the master's command.

"Master, I'm here to help you!"

As the sect leader's number one bootlicker, Huang the Dharma Protector leaped forward, wanting to join forces with the sect leader to attack Old Demon Duan.

As a result, within just a breath, he had six bloody holes, three knife marks and two sword wounds on his body, and he became obedient all of a sudden.

Yes, if Duan Yun and Yan Rufeng stayed there for one more breath, his injuries would probably have doubled, or he might even have been seriously injured and died.

This is definitely not a duel they can get involved in.

At this moment, there was a loud clang, and the iron flute hit the lower part of the sword. The sword in Duan Yun's hand was unstable and almost slipped out of his hand.

Yan Rufeng showed a flawed smile on his face, which was uglier than the female gorilla's.

The outcome is decided!

As soon as she opened her mouth, a sharp iron flute came out and stabbed towards Duan Yun's right hand that was grabbing the sword without hesitation.

As a result, at this moment, Duan Yun's hand holding the sword suddenly dropped the sword, and black energy surged in his arm.

The sword energy of death breaks the body!

A stream of deathly sword energy suddenly shot out and collided with the iron flute with a bang, knocking the iron flute crooked. At the same time, it continued and turned into a sword pillar, attacking Yan Rufeng's heart directly.

Yan Rufeng retracted the iron flute in his palm, raised his right arm, and in an instant reached out from under his armpit, knocking the sword pillar away.

When the sword column collapsed, Duan Yun's arm, which was emitting body-breaking sword energy, had turned into a trembling fist.

"Fist intention! Extreme hatred!"

Fifteen strange punches connected together and hit Yan Rufeng's wrist, causing a cracking sound.

At almost the same time, Yan Rufeng's other leg was suddenly raised, and a piece of iron flute came out from the sole of his foot, which pierced Duan Yun's left forearm with a click.

Both sides were hit and injured by each other in an instant and separated!

Without even a breath, the two sides were about to fight again. As a result, almost at the same time, both of their heads were affected and they spoke at the same time.

"I want to be a hero!"

"I want to be ugly! Being handsome is a sin!"

This punch is poisonous!

This flute is poisonous!

Both parties reacted at the same moment. Duan Yun's sword energy rushed out with blood, dispersing the blood that contained strange true energy.

Yan Rufeng slapped his belly, making a drum-like sound, and then blood spurted out with a "pu" sound.

Both parties completed the detoxification almost at the same time!

But it was because of this that the two sides were five or six steps apart, giving Duan Yun the opportunity to launch his move.

"Love! Is! Infinite!"

As the Dharmadhatu Xiaoyu sank, a violent sword storm was instantly formed. At this time, Duan Yun, who was an expert in both swordsmanship and saber, was already floating in the air with Xiaoyu.

Seeing this, Yan Rufeng's expression changed and he shouted, "Yan Rufeng!"

She actually called out her own name, and then blood mist gushed out from the parts of her body where iron flutes could emerge, like a steam engine.

At the same time, a lightning-carrying ice peak rose from the ground.

With a loud bang, Duan Yun's infinite storm of love came crashing down.

Yan Rufeng's skin was as white as ice crystals and was emitting red and purple electric currents, and he withstood the attack head-on.

From a distance, it looked like a swirling storm hitting the electrified ice peak.

With a loud bang, the ground sank and the statues of Lei Gong and Lei Mu on the altar fell down.

The nearby snowflakes turned into fragments and turned into snow mist in an instant.

The gate wall of the palace had been destroyed, but Yan Rufeng held on tightly.

With a loud bang, the ice crystals on Yan Rufeng's body shattered and blood flew. The spinning Duan Yu knocked over the statues of Lei Gong and Lei Mu on the altar with a bang, and slid for five meters before he stabilized his body, gasping for breath.

The hair on Yan Rufeng's head had been twisted off, and there was a wound from her shoulders to her belly that was bleeding.

But she held on.

A huge crack appeared on the ice peak of the Dharma image, but it still did not break.

"continue!"

"Love is infinite!"

At this moment, a crazy voice suddenly sounded, and Yan Rufeng's heart trembled.

She had long since turned her body into a weapon, into a peak of ice, and she believed herself to be indestructible.

But this naturally handsome and evil old demon Duan managed to smash a hole in her body.

I didn't expect that this old demon would launch an attack of this level without even taking a breath!

It's so damn sinful and crazy!

But as a master-level expert, she knew that Duan Lao Mo could only launch a critical strike like this a few times.

How could she lose!
She looked at the cloth-covered statue deeper in the temple, her eyes full of determination and confidence.

"Yan Rufeng!"

If you want to attack, then attack. How can I be afraid of you?
Her Dharma image trembled, and ice crystals were about to form on her body again.

But at this moment, a sword energy that could penetrate the body suddenly shot out and hit the statue covered with cloth!

With a loud bang, the moment the statue shattered, Yan Rufeng seemed to be hit as well. He lost his mind and almost forgot about crystallization.

In a battle between masters, every millimeter determines the outcome!
Because of this moment of distraction, it was too late for him.

The terrifying storm of swords and knives smashed down on the place where she had no time to crystallize!
With a loud bang, the ground jumped, and the entire temple shattered and jumped. At the same time, the head of the statue that was previously covered with cloth also jumped up.

At this time, the red cloth had been cut open by the sword energy, revealing its inner part.

It was a face with a long red nose. Unlike the statues of Leigong and Leimu further outside, this face looked more like a female gorilla.

In other words, it looks more like a copy of Yan Rufeng's face.

A cloud of blood mist flew high up, then slowly fell down, and only a small half of Yan Rufeng's "indestructible" body was left.

This small half is half a head and a shoulder.

The ugly half of her face still held an expression of fear, reluctance and anger.

She probably never thought she would die like this.

Duan Yun stood in the ruins, looking at the half head that looked like a female gorilla and the half head of the statue that looked like a female gorilla, and found that he had guessed right.

This ugly and crazy woman is so mad that she wants to turn all the handsome men in the world into pigs and dogs, or even eliminate them all. In the final analysis, this is just a kind of pathological narcissism.

He is ugly but extremely narcissistic, yet has an inferiority complex that is difficult to change.

Because even though she has mastered a unique martial art and become a master, the world still thinks she is ugly.

So she blamed the world, wanting to slaughter all that was good, to reverse beauty and ugliness, and to make her narcissistic self completely perfect.

She has always been narcissistic towards the statue of Lei Gong and Lei Mu that has her face sculpted. Duan Yun even suspected that she had directed it herself.

So the moment the statue was shattered, she, who was extremely narcissistic, felt the same way, as if she herself was shattered.

It was this moment of trance that led to her failure!
The victorious Young Master Duan standing there proved two things.

This ugly and crazy woman is a pervert who likes to criticize others, and she also believes that evil cannot prevail over justice!
At this time, he panted and looked around, looking for "banana" and "cucumber".

My scriptures are still on your skins and have not been peeled off yet!
At this time, Yu Shuangshuang looked at the weak Duan Shaoxia who was gasping for air with a fiery look in her eyes, and Cindy was trembling to the extreme.
it's time!
