Muscular Rabbits Legion: 'No one can escape from the novice village!'-Chapter 708 - 678: Ten Thousand Despicable Technique Li Taibai

Chapter 708: Chapter 678: Ten Thousand Despicable Technique Li Taibai

Olivia wanted to say something else, but was dismissed with a wave of the White-Headed Eagle Emperor’s hand.

Olivia grew anxious, "Great Emperor, think back to the war you had with Emperor Pingtou! At that time, you transformed into a member of the White-Headed Eagle clan and even secured the position of clan leader.

So many of the Ten Thousand Clans helped you, and you also thought you were certain to win. Hubris led to your defeat; hasn’t that been enough?"

The White-Headed Eagle Emperor, with his painful memories pried open, became instantly enraged, "Olivia, stand down!"

With no other choice, Olivia stepped back, knowing that saying anything more would be pointless.

As she watched the great army about to bear down on Blue Star, the unease in Olivia’s heart grew stronger and stronger.

Under the White-Headed Eagle Emperor’s command, the fleet started to change formation. The warships lined up side by side, then slowly formed a massive square formation that enveloped Daxia Country below.

A giant projection was cast at the same time, with the White-Headed Eagle Emperor standing with his hands behind his back, proudly declaring, "Daxia, who now holds authority?"

Such an enormous fleet, even though still in space, was clearly visible to the naked eye of Daxians, and when that massive projection appeared, all those not engaged in the game raised their heads to look up at the sky.

Before, these people were the ones maintaining Daxia’s infrastructure, such as hydroelectric, thermal power, nuclear power stations, internet, missiles, etc.

But as time passed, these people no longer engaged in these undertakings; all the power stations and missiles were either shut down or abandoned, and even the nuclear weapons had been destroyed by them.

There was no need for them; in the White-Headed Eagle Empire, such things had become obsolete.

What mattered most was, they didn’t need them. Exiting the game world, they could still use the medicinal herbs cultivated by Daxia Country to refine elixirs and provide themselves with spiritual energy for cultivation.

Their greatest purpose left was to guard the nation’s soil and patrol the lands to prevent invasions.

Similarly, since there were fewer tasks, there were also fewer players remaining in Daxia, with only 3,600 players left in the entire country.

The leader on duty today was Li Taibai.

At that moment, Li Taibai was sitting in a newly built wooden Sword Pavilion atop the Sword Pavilion in Sichuan, sharpening his sword. Upon hearing the noise outside, he replied without lifting his head, "I, Li Taibai."

His voice was soft yet traveled directly from Blue Star into space, captured by the fleet and then broadcast through speakers to the ears of the White-Headed Eagle Emperor.

The White-Headed Eagle Emperor was very dissatisfied with Li Taibai’s attitude and snorted coldly, "Li Taibai, that once second-highest expert of Daxia Country?"

Li Taibai shook his head, "Now the third."

"Oh? Someone surpassed you?" the White-Headed Eagle Emperor asked curiously.

Li Taibai replied, "Yes, now the one called Rabbit ranks second."

Hearing about Rabbit, rage flared in the eyes of the White-Headed Eagle Emperor.

Although he had initially been defeated by Emperor Pingtou, he had not been without opportunities. He still had a full-status Resurrection Doll; his death hadn’t meant significant loss.

He even triggered a hidden quest and went to the underworld to do the task.

But by the time he reemerged, the world war had already started.

A horde of rabbits wielding watermelon knives stormed his territory. Furious, he roared, vowing to fight back, only to be bombarded with a pile of carrots by terrifying giant rabbits, which blasted him into nothingness. All his efforts turned to Liushui, and he was sent back to Newbie Village.

It was also at that time that he utterly despaired and gave up the game world, returning to Blue Star.

It also just so happened that at that time, some mad scientists on Blue Star had made breakthroughs, and he saw another hope for rising. Taking advantage of the others’ inattention, he invested money and effort, formed the earliest space Air Force, and eventually swept through all adversaries.

Though he rose with Rabbit and fell with Rabbit, Rabbit had ultimately destroyed his previous prospects – that was an ancient and immense hatred, how could he simply forget it?

Taking a deep breath, the White-Headed Eagle Emperor stated, "Li Taibai, I’ll give you a chance. Defect to me, and I will spare your life, how about that?"

Li Taibai said, "Wait a moment..."

The White-Headed Eagle Emperor thought that Li Taibai was tempted and smiled slightly, "Good, I’ll wait for you."

Alexander became anxious, "Why wait for him? What if he alerts others?"

The White-Headed Eagle Emperor shook his head, "He is a swordsman..."

"You don’t understand Eastern culture. freēwēbηovel.c૦m

I once cultivated the Sword Dao on Evil Horse Island. The spirit of the Sword Dao is no less than that of the samurai sword.

When he says he’ll wait, he’ll either defect to me later or face me with swords drawn, not call for friends and gang up on me.

That’s not the spirit of a true swordsman."

Alexander suddenly realized and nodded, "So that’s how it is."

But what they didn’t know was that after Li Taibai said "Wait a moment," he turned around and secretly told the Sword Boy behind him, "What are you daydreaming about? Call for help, will you? You don’t really expect over three thousand of us to take on more than three thousand of those huge warships, do you?

We’re not even sure of their power.

Rabbit always said, don’t fight a battle you’re not sure of winning. Why bother with a duel when you can gang up?"

Sword Boy was confused and scratched his head, "Master, but shouldn’t a swordsman face the enemy alone with a sword, just like Master Guan?"

Li Taibai gave him a look,

"That’s Master Guan’s way, and he doesn’t use a sword; he wields the Azure Dragon Crescent Blade.

I’m a swordsman. My Sword Dao used to be that foolish as well, always picking fights and charging ahead.

After I had deep discussions with some rabbits, I realized that I’m more suited for the path I follow now."

"What path?" Sword Boy asked.

Li Taibai took a deep breath and said deliberately,

"The true meaning of heroism is to serve the nation and the people, to eradicate demons and protect the Dao, by any means necessary!

Face those you can defeat alone; if you can’t beat them, then gang up and throw bricks.

Damn it, why am I even telling you this?

You were born in the last few years and didn’t live through the era when Rabbit ruled, so you wouldn’t understand these profound concepts.

In short, just do as I say and go call for backup!"

Sword Boy indeed couldn’t quite grasp it; he felt like one moment this man was the swordsman he idolized, and the next he seemed like a street thug. It didn’t quite fit with the sublime art of Sword Dao.

Looking at the perplexed Sword Boy, Li Taibai added, "Disciple, do you think I don’t resemble a swordsman?"

Sword Boy dared not agree, but he did not deny it either.

Li Taibai laughed freely, "You still don’t get it..."

The Sword Dao you’re talking about is the ideal state people fantasize about.

Then, Li Taibai raised his sword, "What do you think of this sword?"

Sword Boy replied, "Its edge is sharp, the Sword Qi reaches the sky, terrifying!"

Li Taibai said, "This is the swordsman you see—arrogant, cold as ice, his Sword Qi dominates, no one dares to provoke. Would you dare to approach someone holding this kind of sword?"

Sword Boy said, "I would hesitate..."

Li Taibai sheathed his longsword, the Sword Qi disappeared, and everything returned to normal as if it were just an ordinary sword, "Now look at it, what do you think?"

Sword Boy said, "It’s just a normal decorative piece."

Li Taibai nodded, "If someone carrying such a sword walked up to you, would you be afraid?"

Sword Boy shook his head.

Li Taibai said, "If you let your guard down and I strike you with a sword, could you block it?"

Sword Boy was stunned...

Li Taibai said, "A Sword Dao that shows off its edge is too superficial. The true Sword Dao hides among the people; still until it moves, then it strikes like thunder, Sword Qi spanning thirty thousand miles, annihilating all strong enemies.

The more profound your strength, the more you can discard all unnecessary emotions, living solely to defeat your enemies.

Sword Dao, the sword in your hand is a sword;

Deceiving your enemies, calling friends to gang up is also a sword;

In short, all conditions that lead to victory are swords;

This is the Ten Thousand Sword Technique I’ve realized!"

Sword Boy scratched his head, muttering, "Master, why do I feel like what you’ve realized is the Ten Thousand Despicable Technique?"
