MMORPG: War God, You are Invincible Again-Chapter 1281 - 258: The Legend of Duo Rentu

"If you want to risk your life against Duo Rentu, you can go by yourselves. Don’t drag me into it." Tian Mu spoke calmly, his eyes filled with disdain for the Martial Kings of the Four Great Families.

At this moment, another Martial King from the Sky Family, who had never spoken before, spoke in a deep voice: "You may have only heard legends of Duo Rentu, but having not experienced it firsthand, you naturally don’t understand his power."

This Martial King of the Sky Family was at the pinnacle of the Martial King Eighth Layer Heaven, just one step away from the final Ninth Layer Heaven. Although it’s unclear how many years it would take to break through, he was a top existence second only to Tian Mu, the Ninth Layer 天王. Moreover, this Martial King from the Sky Family had reached an age of fifteen hundred years, making him a living fossil of the Sky Family, knowledgeable in many things. If it hadn’t been for the Sky Family losing a Late Stage Martial King like Lu Hong, they wouldn’t have dragged this guy out of closed cultivation.

Therefore, the other Martial Kings from the Four Great Families held great respect for this elder Martial King of the Sky Family.

As for Tian Mu, they were mostly afraid because Tian Mu was currently the strongest Martial King of the Sky Family, at the pinnacle of the Ninth Layer Great Perfection, essentially the first person under Rongtian’s Master in the open.

Thus, they couldn’t understand why Tian Mu didn’t dare to directly fight with Duo Rentu and instead chose to retreat and forgo his own interests.

Although they had fewer people on their side, the title of the first person under Rongtian’s Master wasn’t a lie. At the very least, he could fight against three, another old Martial King from the Sky Family could fight two, and they could each handle one. Wouldn’t that work?

However, as the elder Martial King from the Sky Family slowly spoke, the four of them became relieved or perhaps carried a sense of great fortune in their hearts.

"Duo Rentu’s original name is Duo Sandao, and he practiced the Du Family’s Three Saber Technique, which enabled him to dominate the west of Rongtian Domain two thousand years ago as the commander of the Western Battle Zone. He was one of the most trusted and relied upon ministers of Rongtian’s Master back then. When Tianlang Domain invaded our Rongtian Domain, led by Lord Tianlang himself, Duo Sandao used only the power of the Western Battle Zone to utterly defeat the three million troops of Tianlang Domain. Leading the charge with his horse-cutting saber, he pursued the Tianlang Army for three thousand miles, slaughtering so ferociously that Tianlang Domain dared not invade Rongtian Domain again for a thousand years thereafter. It was only due to Lord Tianlang’s sense of self-preservation that Duo Sandao survived; otherwise, he would certainly have been killed."

"Although Lord Tianlang did not directly attack Duo Sandao, his Martial King warriors spared no effort in putting Duo Sandao in serious harm. After this battle, Duo Sandao retired from his position as Grand Marshal of the Western Battle Zone due to grave injuries and began recuperating at home. Unfortunately, the damage from that battle was too severe, and coupled with the life force he overexerted, his injuries worsened instead of improving. During this near-death process, Duo Sandao began to research Martial Arts to save himself. At that time, Duo Sandao was already in the Middle Stage Martial King tier, and through his research, he concluded that the potential of ordinary individuals was extremely limited. Hence, to break through to a higher realm, one must depend on external forces. Without external assistance, the Martial Emperor was merely a focal point, and since he was delving into Martial Arts, he intended to push the boundaries to an even higher limit."

At this point, the old Martial King from the Sky Family took a deep breath: "From that time, the nightmare of the Western Battle Zone, no, the entire Rongtian Domain, descended."

"Duo Sandao discovered a Secret Technique for cultivating blood energy, which involved consuming the blood of other creatures to enhance his own life force. However, the blood of common beasts in the mountains and forests was too mundane and insufficient to sustain Duo Sandao’s continued cultivation, so he set his sights on human blood. Initially, leveraging the Du Family’s influence in the Western Battle Zone, this act went unnoticed, but after consuming human blood, Duo Sandao became increasingly frenzied. By targeting Martial Artists of higher realms, the benefits he reaped grew larger, so Duo Sandao set sights on the top disciples of major families in the Western Battle Zone. As more and more top family disciples went missing, the matter finally couldn’t be hidden anymore."

"Subsequently, the Zongma City massacre case, widely spread throughout Rongtian Domain, occurred. You only know that Duo Sandao was the sole survivor of the Zongma City massacre and believe that Duo Sandao committed bloodshed to survive. But you don’t know that the massacre of Zongma City was entirely carried out by Duo Sandao alone, killing everyone with a single saber!"

"At that time, in order to have complete control over Duo Sandao, who had mastered the Secret Technique of swallowing blood energy, the Du Family sealed off all of Zongma City. All Martial Arts experts who traced the clues into Zongma City were locked inside. Over the course of three months, Duo Sandao massacred everyone within the city, giving rise to the nickname Duo Rentu."

After slaughtering everyone in Zongma City, Duo Sandao’s strength underwent a qualitative leap, advancing into the Martial King Eighth Layer Heaven realm.

"Moreover, Duo Sandao was several times more formidable than an ordinary Martial King at the Eighth Layer Heaven. Duo Sandao passed this Secret Technique to the Du Family’s Three Heroes, and the four began to slaughter experts madly, hunting Martial Kings to gain stronger powers."

Within three years, the Western Battle Zone was almost wiped clean of Martial Kings by Duo Sandao and the Du Family’s Three Heroes. Thereafter, Duo Sandao turned his attention to other battlezones within Rongtian, while the Du Family’s Three Heroes more crazily ventured into the Tianlang Domain to hunt Martial Kings."

"The Du Family’s Three Heroes operated wildly in Tianlang Domain for three years before Tianlang Domain’s high-ranking officials traced their tracks. They sent a hundred Late Stage Martial Kings both openly and secretly to kill the Du Family’s Three Heroes. In that battle, the Du Family’s Three Heroes killed at least twenty-five Late Stage Martial Kings. Even when besieged by a hundred Late Stage Martial Kings, they still managed to kill twenty-five of them. This kind of combat capability is terrifying. Because the Du Family’s Three Heroes killed so many top experts in Tianlang Domain at once, the matter stirred a great uproar, and since Rongtian Domain couldn’t dismiss their achievements, they enshrined the name of the Du Family’s Three Heroes, preserving some of the tarnished reputation of the Du Family. As for Duo Sandao, he marched straight to Rongtian Main City, entered into the perfect Ninth Level Martial King, and seemed to have a sliver of possibility to reach the Martial Emperor realm. Therefore, to break into the Martial Emperor realm, Duo Sandao publicly challenged Rongtian’s Master, aiming to prove his path to the Martial Emperor by taking Rongtian’s Master blood, thereby establishing an unprecedented Martial Arts System on the Dark Continent."

At this point, the old Martial King from the Sky Family paused, glanced at the already dumbfounded four Martial Kings, and said blandly, "The result which most of you have probably heard: Rongtian’s Master beheaded Duo Sandao. Because Duo Sandao was once one of Rongtian’s Master’s most valued ministers, who had protected the Western Battle Zone for years, the sins Duo Sandao committed in the Western Battlezone never spread to other parts of Rongtian Domain. The information was thoroughly sealed. Back then, Duo Sandao alone with one saber was qualified to challenge Rongtian’s Master. Although he was defeated, he did indeed leave a saber scar on Rongtian’s Master’s chest, which remains to this day. How dare anyone mess with such a ruthless person? Are they tired of living? Even though Duo Rentu is old now, the fact that his strength hasn’t waned all these years means he is absolutely not to be provoked. Such a ruthless person, even if we added six more people, as long as Duo Sandao is willing, killing us wouldn’t be difficult. Allowing a thousand Qin Long Guards to leave shows he has given us enough face. Do you understand what I’m saying?"

Faced with the teachings of this elder, the Martial Kings of the four families were finally convinced. A sense of apprehension rose within them. They had indeed heard the tales of Duo Rentu long ago, but those were the events of two thousand years past. Up to now, they assumed the stories were exaggerated, little did they know that all of it was true and even more so.

Moreover, that Du Family indeed is formidable, worthy of being the unyielding voice of authority in the Western Battle Zone. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

Henceforth, the Martial Kings of the four families no longer felt the pain of losing Qin Long Guards in their hands, and only wished to return quickly to their family and settle matters down.
