Chapter 249: First Meeting with Yin Zhong

After Duan Fengyun struck the Shenlong Sword back with a palm, he used the Wind God Leg to fly directly onto the roof and leave.

However, knowing that he held so many of Tong Bo's secrets, how could Tong Bo let him go? Tong Bo immediately followed after Duan Fengyun.

Seeing that he was about to lose sight of Duan Fengyun, Tong Bo directly used the Dragon God Skill, transforming into a dragon to pursue him.

"Dragon God Skill!

Never mind the Dragon God Skill; even if you were a real dragon, you wouldn't be able to catch up to me."

Duan Fengyun then used the Wind God Leg at ten percent power, and no matter how the dragon-transformed Tong Bo chased, he could not catch up.

In the end, Duan Fengyun still vanished from before Tong Bo.

After his prey disappeared, Tong Bo deactivated the Dragon God Skill and returned to human form.

Tong Bo gazed in the direction Duan Fengyun had left, muttering to himself:

"Who exactly is this man in black?

I couldn't even keep up with him while using the Dragon God Skill. I hope this person is an enemy, not a friend, and won't tell Yin Zhong my secrets; otherwise, everything is over."

Unable to beat him in a fight and unable to catch him, Tong Bo could only pray.

After the exchange, Duan Fengyun, who had not had a hearty battle in a long time, felt unsatisfied and prepared to go find Yin Zhong to play.

He wanted to see just how formidable this Undying Demon God who had lived for hundreds of years really was.

Duan Fengyun calmed his breath, then arrived outside Yujian Villa at extreme speed.

He quietly snuck into the villa, where inside, a young man wearing clothes identical to Tong Bo and Tong Xin was arguing with a woman.

The woman had a doll-like face as fair as white jade, a pair of intelligent and beautiful eyes, and long hair draped over her shoulders, looking like a golden branch and jade leaf.

In contrast, the man wore his long hair in a neat style, had bright tiger-like eyes beneath his brows, and a tall, elegant build; at a glance, one could tell he was a man of both literary and martial talent.

Without needing to think, Duan Fengyun knew who these two people were.

The most tragic couple in the Shuiyue Dongtian story—Tong Zhan and Yin Tianxue.

Thinking of their tragic love and then of Yin Tianxue's miserable ending, Duan Fengyun decided to help them and change Yin Tianxue's fate.

And changing Yin Tianxue's fate was simple: just get rid of that scorpion-hearted woman, Zhao Yun.

Duan Fengyun watched the young couple on the side with great interest.

After Tong Zhan reluctantly parted ways with Yin Tianxue, Duan Fengyun continued to sneak into Yin Zhong's room.

Duan Fengyun used his Spirit Sense to scan Yin Zhong's room and found no one inside; Yin Zhong must surely be in the Underground City.

Duan Fengyun entered Yin Zhong's room and then walked into the Underground City through a secret passage.

As soon as he walked into the Underground City, Duan Fengyun was discovered by the blood python.

The blood python, which was currently helping Yin Zhong heal his wounds, felt Duan Fengyun's pressure and let out bursts of roars.

Yin Zhong opened his eyes and stared in the direction of the blood python's roars.

"Is this the person who scared you during the day?

Let me see how much strength this person has."

Yin Zhong put on his clothes and strode toward the direction of Duan Fengyun.

Duan Fengyun also sensed that Yin Zhong was coming in his direction.

Duan Fengyun thought to himself:

"Coming just in time, saving me the trouble of looking for you.

This young master will just wait here for you."

Duan Fengyun leaped up, sat on a Snake Sculpture, and waited for Yin Zhong to arrive.

The aggressively approaching Yin Zhong saw the man in black sitting on the Snake Sculpture as if ignoring him.

Yin Zhong had never seen such an arrogant person; he wondered who in the world would dare to sit so calmly and indifferently before him, Yin Zhong.

Yin Zhong shouted loudly:

"What kind of hero hides his head and shows his tail?

You look very composed, so why hide your face? Who are you? Speak quickly."

As his voice fell, Yin Zhong directly clawed at Duan Fengyun.

Duan Fengyun did not stand up, instead using his feet to meet the claws, rebounding Yin Zhong's attack.

Seeing this, Yin Zhong used both hands, wanting to subdue and capture Duan Fengyun.

But Duan Fengyun's agile movements allowed him to easily dodge Yin Zhong's attacks.

When it was Duan Fengyun's turn to counterattack, he used his hand as a blade and unleashed the Demon Blade.

In an instant, Duan Fengyun became filled with killing intent; looking at the surging Demon Energy, even someone as strong as Yin Zhong retreated a few steps.

Such intense killing intent; it seems this man in black before me is also of the Demonic Path.

The reason Duan Fengyun used the Demon Blade was precisely to make Yin Zhong mistakenly believe he was of the Demonic Path.

Yin Zhong immediately used the Tong Clan's magic, setting up a protective barrier in front of himself.

With a loud shout, Duan Fengyun broke Yin Zhong's protective barrier with a single slash.

Seeing this, Yin Zhong immediately summoned the blood python back.

The man and the python began to fight Duan Fengyun.

Duan Fengyun had to fight Yin Zhong while also guarding against the blood python's sneak attacks.

However, the blood python was only putting on a show; the aura of a superior being that occasionally radiated from Duan Fengyun made it afraid to get close at all.

Seeing this, Yin Zhong directly used the Dragon God Skill, transforming into a dragon.

Sure enough, just as the Tong Clan records stated, Yin Zhong's personality was like fire, so the dragon he became was a fire dragon.

And because Tong Bo's personality was steady, the dragon he became was a water dragon.

Water and fire are incompatible; Tong Bo and Yin Zhong were destined to be mortal enemies.

Seeing Yin Zhong unleash the Dragon God Skill, Duan Fengyun prepared to go head-to-head with it.

He raised his Kirin Arm and fought the Incarnation of the dragon, Yin Zhong, with one hand.

He had already slaughtered dragons twice before; in his eyes, Yin Zhong's dragon-transformation technique was nothing at all.

The fire dragon bit down on Duan Fengyun's Kirin Arm, but how could a Kirin Arm that could withstand the Shenlong Sword without a scratch be bitten by a fire dragon?

Duan Fengyun struck directly with the Wind God Leg, countering the fire dragon.

After taking countless kicks, Yin Zhong, whose injuries had flared up again, finally reverted to human form.

Yin Zhong lay on the ground, spitting blood as he looked at Duan Fengyun.

He never expected that there was still someone in this world who could injure him like this.

He opened his mouth and asked:

"Who exactly are you?

If you want to kill me or carve me up, do as you please.

It's just that I want to be an informed ghost, so please reveal your identity."

Duan Fengyun laughed:

"Hahahaha, I never thought the dignified Undying Person Tong Yin Zhong could still face life and death so calmly.

Aren't you usually the most afraid of death?

What's wrong, have you come to terms with it now!"

Yin Zhong stared fixedly at Duan Fengyun and said:

"You know my identity!

Who on earth are you?

Are you a member of the Tong clan?"

Duan Fengyun laughed:

"Not at all, not at all; I am no member of the Tong clan.

I am just a passerby in black; I heard your martial arts were formidable, so I came to spar with you.

Ah, how lonely it is to be invincible.

Farewell, Yin Zhong."

Having said this, Duan Fengyun left straight away.

Watching Duan Fengyun depart, Yin Zhong's heart was filled with confusion.

Who exactly was this man in black? Why had he never heard of his reputation?

After seeing Duan Fengyun leave, the blood python became lively again. It lifted the injured Yin Zhong, threw him back into the Mercury Pool, and then stuck out its huge snake tongue to heal Yin Zhong.

After leaving Yujian Villa, Duan Fengyun felt somewhat bored.

He had already challenged the two greatest experts of Shuiyue Dongtian; what should he do now?

Bored for a moment, Duan Fengyun prepared to go mess with Zhao Yun first to see what this femme fatale was actually like.

But where would he find Zhao Yun in the middle of the night?

Forget it, forget it; the hour was late, he had better find a place to sleep.

Duan Fengyun found a deserted corner, took off his Night-Walking Garment, put it in his bag, and walked into the best local inn with a devil-may-care attitude.

Duan Fengyun tossed an ingot of silver to the waiter and said:

"Waiter, arrange a top-tier room for this young master.

I intend to stay here for a while; remember, money is no object."

The waiter took the silver and, upon hearing Duan Fengyun's words, knew this was a distinguished guest.

The waiter said obsequiously:

"Sir, this way please.

It's so late, I wonder if you have eaten yet?

Our shop has steamed deer antler, roasted lamb chops... I wonder what you would like to have?"

Duan Fengyun waved his hand and said:

"You arrange it yourself.

I am not short on money; just send it to my room later."

Immediately, Duan Fengyun walked into his room.

After Duan Fengyun entered the room, many covetous eyes met one another.

This was a fat sheep, and they had to fleece him well.

Having roamed the jianghu for so many years, how could Duan Fengyun not know about the rule of not flaunting one's wealth?

The reason he did this was because he had seen two familiar faces in this inn—Dou Dou and Tong Bo.

Because they hadn't caught the man in black, a frustrated Tong Bo had brought Dou Dou to this tavern to drink away his sorrows.

And it was precisely because he saw these two that Duan Fengyun deliberately acted like a fat sheep.

He was precisely trying to attract those who were greedy to make a move, and then draw Tong Bo in to help, so as to achieve his goal of getting close to Tong Bo and the others.

Duan Fengyun's plan succeeded; looking at the devil-may-care Duan Fengyun, Dou Dou said disdainfully:

"Tong Dage, this is the expert you spoke of?

This is just a rich second-generation brat who doesn't know the immensity of heaven and earth."

Because Duan Fengyun had been transformed by the Dragon Essence, his body and face had remained at the age of twenty, so he looked like a novice just starting out.

After Duan Fengyun's words just now and his deliberate disguise, Tong Bo discovered that Duan Fengyun was not a martial arts expert; he was just an ordinary person, as ordinary as could be.

Looking at the restless crowd around him, Tong Bo shook his head; it seemed he would have to repay the favor from this morning today.

Watching the wine and dishes being continuously brought into the room of Duan Fengyun, Dou Dou said indignantly:

"What a spendthrift."

Knowing that there was serious business to attend to later, Tong Bo drank a few cups to ease the vexation in his heart, then secretly observed the few people beside him.

These people had fierce expressions and were full of baleful aura; one look was enough to know they were not good sorts.

These people's eyes glanced toward the upper floor from time to time; it seemed these few had already set their sights on that rich young master.

At this moment, Duan Fengyun was also silently observing downstairs using his Spirit Sense, and seeing those ill-intentioned fellows, Duan Fengyun smiled and said:

"If it weren't for the fact that I need to use you all to make an acquaintance with Tong Bo, the mere fact that you dared to set your sights on me would have been enough for you to die many times over."

Being the number one in the martial arts world for a long time had given Duan Fengyun his own bottom line, and he would not allow others to mess with his plans.
