Chapter 480: Living For Reputation!
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
Li Xiandao was invincible!
Li Xiandao mentioned before that he was invincible in Great Sky.
His words were shown so clearly now.
He kicked Dugu Menge away with one foot and killed a stage seven old man with one sword.
It was just so simple!
Li Xiandao walked in front of the ruins and sighed. He said with melancholy, "I wanted to talk nicely with all of you as someone of the same realm, to discuss with you as an ordinary person. But what I got in return was disdain and killing intent. Stop acting. I am going to be honest. In Great Sky, I am invincible."
Dugu Menge held his stomach and trembled as he looked at Li Xiandao.
He didn't know how to describe his current feelings. If he summarised them, there was only one word: unbearable!
He felt really bad. He had trained in the sword for 10,000 years and felt like even though his sword technique wasn't top in the world, he definitely had a place in this world.
He had trained well in the Great Metal Sword Energy and it was extremely strong. In the past when he met all sorts of enemies, he would kill them with one sword.
Those past glorious results made Dugu Menge feel like he was really strong.
He was invincible in Great Sky!
Since he was invincible, then others couldn't find out that he had been cheated on which was why he wanted to kill Li Xiandao.
But now, this goal was shattered.
Li Xiandao had personally shattered it. He went all out to slice down but Li Xiandao grabbed his wrist immediately. When the sword landed it actually sliced his friend's arm.
At that moment, Dugu Menge was about to go crazy. He questioned himself several times.
Was there such a terrifying person in the world?
He didn't notice Li Xiandao attacking but when his long sword slashed down, he accidentally sliced his partner's arm.
This dream-like scene made Dugu Menge mad. It forced him to gather all his strength to buff his sword.
He wanted to kill Li Xiandao.
He wanted to stab his celestial blade into Li Xiandao's heart to wash away this humiliation.
But Li Xiandao's simple kick caused all of his emotions, all his sword intent, and all his faith to disappear.
Crack!
At that moment, Dugu Menge's faith broke. Li Xiandao simply broke his illusion that he was the best. His face swelled up and his body hurt. He turned his head and realized that Li Xiandao was standing where he once was. He used sword energy!
One sword and 10,000 techniques!
Li Xiandao's sword killed a stage seven expert.
This expert was totally defenceless in front of Li Xiandao. He was like a cumbersome, wooden target.
He took Li Xiandao's sword head-on.
He then entered the netherworld.
Dugu Menge stumbled to his feet and struggled to even say a word.
The other two old men were shocked. They had gone through a lot in their lives but they had rarely ever seen such terrifying scenes.
"You... Who are you?" An old man asked bitterly. He didn't dare to attack now and even begged Li Xiandao not to kill them.
"I am just a person here to collect a debt." Li Xiandao smiled.
"Collect a debt?" The old man was stunned and then he looked towards Dugu Menge.
At that moment, Heaven and Earth Celestial Sect's elders and disciples all looked towards Dugu Menge.
Among them included some of Dugu Menge's children.
Dugu Menge's expression changed from green to white. He looked at Li Xiandao and shook his head with a begging expression in his eyes.
This matter couldn't be spoken aloud. If it was announced, he would lose the reputation that he had built over many years.
Not only that, but he would be mocked for the rest of his life. Even if he died, people would still talk about him.
This was something that Dugu Menge definitely couldn't allow.
Li Xiandao looked at Dugu Menge, deep in thought.
His heart didn't go soft. It wasn't as if he didn't want to kill Dugu Menge...
Li Xiandao was thinking about how Dugu Menge was really just living for the sake of his reputation.
For his repuation, he entered the Bank of the Universe and exchanged his kidney function for the Great Metal Sword Energy.
After getting it, he worked hard and became the sect leader. He was high above and numerous people envied and chased him.
He exchanged his kidney function for the sword technique so that he could become the sect leader.
The goal of becoming the sect leader was so that he could get famous.
After that, he acted as a promiscuous sect leader, marrying many beautiful wives and concubines, so that others didn't know that he had such biological deficiencies.
In truth, he did so because of his reputation.
He rarely slept with the wives he married and threatened them not to speak of such things to the outside world. Then his wife cheated and got a child.
For his reputation and his ego, Dugu Menge told his wife to give birth to the kid. She arranged a feast and announced that it was his.
Of course, in the dark, the real biological father suffered torture worse than death.
Such a thing happened 21 times over 10,000 years.
For his ego and reputation, Dugu Menge ended up with 21 kids.
They were all his. He lived his entire life for his ego and reputation. Now, he was shaking his head at Li Xiandao and begging him.
He begged Li Xiandao not to speak of this matter.
Dugu Menge really didn't want to lose 10,000 years of reputation and honor to his name.
Li Xiandao could understand him but he definitely wouldn't become such a a person.
"Dugu Menge, I am here to collect a debt, a blood debt. You killed Chaos Dragon Crocodile's sister, I came for her." Li Xiandao said calmly.
When Dugu Menge heard blood debt and also for Chaos Dragon Crocodile's sister, he was delighted instead of shocked. It was as if he had seen a treasure as he looked at Li Xiandao.
Li Xiandao didn't speak of what was written in the contract.
"Blood will be paid with blood. As long as you don't hurt the Heaven and Earth Celestial Sect disciples, I am willing to pay the price." Dugu Menge thanked Li Xiandao. He knew that he couldn't block his attacks and that Li Xiandao had given him face. So, he passed over his celestial sword and a secret technique.
Great Metal Sword Energy.
For all the disciples to see, Dugu Menge knelt in front of Li Xiandao and said, "I am Heaven and Earth Celestial Sect's sect leader. Kill me and Heaven and Earth Celestial Sect will no longer exist. All these disciples are innocent."
Li Xiandao looked at Dugu Menge. Even at such a step, he didn't forget his duty.
At that moment, he became a great sect leader. He sacrificed himself and saved all the disciples and elders.
Li Xiandao looked around and realized that many emotional disciples were shedding tears.
Even some of the men started to tear up and look at Li Xiandao with hatred.
Li Xiandao became more and more intrigued. One's reputation was fake. Some people didn't care and did whatever they wanted for the sake of reputation.
Some treated it as something more important than their own life. They would rather give it up than give up on their reputation.
Dugu Menge belonged to the latter group.
