Chapter 253: A Black Pot Falls from the Sky
After Duan Fengyun helped Tong Bo and the others return to their respective rooms, he returned to the room arranged for him.
Duan Fengyun took out the Night-Walking Garment he had prepared again during the day, and after putting it on, he lay comfortably on the bed, waiting for the right moment to arrive.
Half an hour later, a black shadow flew out of Tong Bo's room.
Duan Fengyun smiled and said:
"You are finally going to take action.
I was wondering why you kept using your internal energy to neutralize the alcohol while drinking.
It seems you have something to do."
The black shadow that flew out of Tong Bo's room was, of course, Tong Bo himself.
When Duan Fengyun was drinking with him, he had sensed that Tong Bo was using his internal energy to neutralize the alcohol.
Duan Fengyun had thought he was just afraid of being unable to outdrink him, so he was secretly neutralizing the alcohol.
But Duan Fengyun did not expose him; for one thing, he was pretending to be a wealthy young master who knew nothing, so how could he possibly notice Tong Bo neutralizing the alcohol?
Secondly, no matter how Tong Bo neutralized the alcohol, he could not outdrink Duan Fengyun, who was a seasoned drinker.
After Tong Bo turned into a black shadow and left, Duan Fengyun also turned into a black shadow and followed him.
Tong Bo quietly arrived outside Yujian Villa, where Yin Tianxue had already been waiting for him for a long time.
After slipping into Yujian Villa, Tong Bo went straight to Tianxue's courtyard.
Seeing Tong Bo arrive, Tianxue smiled and said:
"Tong Bo, you're finally here!"
Tong Bo smiled and said:
"I only came after I had settled Yinxiu and the others.
Tianxue, are you sure Yin Zhong is not in the villa?"
Tianxue nodded and said:
"I am sure. It seems he fought with someone last night.
He left early this morning with his guards, looking furious; by the looks of it, he won't be back today.
It was precisely because I saw his state that I sent someone to notify you; today is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."
Tong Bo was slightly surprised to hear this; Yin Zhong had also fought with someone last night.
By the looks of it, Yin Zhong even seemed to have suffered a loss?
Could the person who wounded Yin Zhong and the person who fought with him be the same person!
At this moment, Duan Fengyun, who was lying on the roof not far from the two, felt a wave of amusement.
"You don't need to guess anymore; I did all of this.
Without me, how could Yin Zhong have left Yujian Villa so easily?
You should all be thanking me properly."
Unfortunately, as Duan Fengyun talked to himself like this, Tong Bo and Tianxue could not hear him.
In the original story, the group only destroyed the Underground City after Yin Zhong had taken Tong Xin as his lackey and left, which gave them the opportunity to destroy it.
Tong Bo did not think too much about it and said:
"There is no time to lose; let's quickly take the supplies to the Underground City."
"Alright, follow me!"
Tianxue led Tong Bo to her room, pried open a floorboard, and revealed the tunnel beneath.
"I have placed all your Gunpowder here!"
It turned out that after Tong Bo found the Gunpowder during the day, he had found a way to have Yin Tianxue bring it back to Yujian Villa.
After all, it was indeed inappropriate for Tong Bo to carry such sensitive items as Gunpowder on his person.
Tong Bo jumped into the tunnel and took out all the Gunpowder.
Tong Bo and Tianxue took the Gunpowder and quietly arrived at Yin Zhong's room, then entered the Underground City.
After the two went in, Duan Fengyun quietly walked in through another passage.
As Tong Bo and Tianxue walked into the Underground City, they laid the explosives along the way.
Before long, the entire Underground City had been rigged with explosives by the two.
However, there was still one most important step to destroying the Underground City.
To destroy the Underground City, one must first deal with that beast, the Blood Python.
Tong Bo walked to the central area and struck a palm at the giant Snake Sculpture in front of him; immediately, the Blood Python, with its bloody maw wide open, crawled out from within.
Tong Bo shouted angrily:
"You beast that aids the tyrant, today is the day you die."
Sensing Tong Bo's killing intent, the Blood Python opened its bloody maw and bit toward Tong Bo.
Seeing this, Tong Bo did not waste any words with the Blood Python and immediately used the Dragon God Skill.
Instantly, a blue water dragon appeared before Tianxue, and the water dragon transformed by Tong Bo began to tear into the Blood Python.
The two, who were originally evenly matched, saw the Blood Python start to cower after Duan Fengyun deliberately revealed the dragon aura on his body.
Tong Bo seized the opportunity and grabbed the Blood Python by its seven-inch mark.
Ignoring the painful hissing of the Blood Python, Tong Bo transformed back into human form and gave the Blood Python a brutal beating.
After the Blood Python was beaten to its last breath by Tong Bo, Tong Bo stopped.
He was not showing mercy; it was just that the dying Blood Python could no longer stop his plan.
Tong Bo walked to the side of the Mercury Pool and kicked two giant rocks nearby into it.
After checking that there was nothing else around, Tong Bo and Tianxue arrived outside the secret chamber.
Tong Bo looked at the Underground City, then struck the Fire Tinder in his pocket and ignited the Gunpowder.
After Tong Bo confirmed there were no issues, he and Tianxue left the Underground City.
Seeing this, Duan Fengyun also entered another passageway.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Amidst the massive sound of explosions, the Underground City began to shake unsteadily.
The dying blood python lay on the ground, letting the Gunpowder blow it into pieces.
And the Mercury Pool was also completely destroyed because of the Gunpowder explosion.
At this moment, Yin Zhong, who was hunting in the forest, suddenly felt a trace of unease.
At his level of cultivation, such unease meant that a major event had occurred.
Yin Zhong suddenly said with a look of fear:
"The Underground City!
The blood python!
Send word down, everyone return to Yujian Villa immediately."
After Yin Zhong realized something was wrong, he immediately took his people and rushed toward Yujian Villa.
After Tong Bo and Yin Tianxue came out of the Underground City, they arrived at Yin Tianxue's courtyard once again.
Yin Tianxue smiled and said:
"That's great, the old devil's nest has finally been destroyed."
Tong Bo nodded and reminded her:
"Tianxue, today we destroyed Yin Zhong's treasure; he will definitely go mad when he returns.
You must be extra careful."
Yin Tianxue nodded and replied:
"Don't worry, I will be fine.
You should also go back and make plans early; after Yin Zhong loses the Underground City, he will definitely have requests for you all.
By then, you can take Yin Zhong to unseal Shuiyue Dongtian and rescue your clansmen."
Tong Bo nodded and said:
"Alright, then I will head back first, take care!"
"Take care!"
After saying this, Tong Bo flew away.
Meanwhile, Duan Fengyun was still wandering around the now-chaotic Underground City.
Duan Fengyun looked at the main structure that still stood tall after the massive explosions and sighed:
"Yin Zhong's construction standards are truly impressive; I didn't expect this Underground City to still maintain this shape after being blown up by Gunpowder.
If Yin Zhong's level of supervision were applied to being a director in later generations, he would definitely rank among the best in the country."
At this moment, Yin Zhong, who was rushing halfway in a panic, could no longer care about exposing himself; he directly used the Dragon God Skill, transformed into a fire dragon, and rushed back to Yujian Villa at high speed.
"Greetings, Second Master. Didn't you go out hunting? Why have you returned?"
Having rushed back to Yujian Villa, he encountered a guard greeting him, but he ignored the guard entirely and rushed back to his room in a rage.
The guard, however, was already accustomed to this behavior from Yin Zhong. After Yin Zhong reached his room, he immediately entered the Underground City.
Upon entering the secret passage of the Underground City and smelling the scent of Gunpowder in the air, Yin Zhong knew things were bad.
He ran quickly into the Underground City and saw the chaotic scene, with some places still burning.
Yin Zhong ran madly to the central area and saw the blood python on the ground, which had been blown into countless pieces.
Consumed by rage, Yin Zhong muttered:
"The blood python is dead.
I still have the Mercury Pool."
Yin Zhong ran to the side of the Mercury Pool, but by this time, the Mercury Pool had already leaked everywhere due to the explosion.
The furious Yin Zhong roared:
"Who is it!
Who is so bold as to kill my blood python and destroy my Mercury Pool?
No matter where this person is, I will tear him into ten thousand pieces."
The massive roar echoed throughout the entire Underground City and traveled straight to Yin Tianxue's ears.
Upon hearing Yin Zhong's roar, a slight smile appeared on Yin Tianxue's face:
"Yin Zhong, don't be in such a hurry; the good show has only just begun!"
Inside the Underground City, Duan Fengyun happened to appear in Yin Zhong's sight.
With bloodshot eyes, Yin Zhong looked at the masked man in black before him and said:
"It was you who destroyed my Underground City, it was you who killed my blood python!
I am going to kill you!"
After hearing this, Duan Fengyun hurriedly waved his hand:
"Yin Zhong, don't go framing an innocent person.
I don't know anything, don't go pinning your troubles on me."
But at this moment, Yin Zhong was like a mad dog, ready to bite anyone he caught.
Yin Zhong did not care what Duan Fengyun said; since he appeared in this Underground City, this matter must have something to do with him.
Holding the attitude of "better to kill the wrong person than to let one go," Yin Zhong clawed directly at Duan Fengyun's throat.
Duan Fengyun laughed and said:
"This move again? Every time you attack, it's this move. Aren't you tired of it?"
This time, Duan Fengyun struck directly with the Wind God Leg, kicking at Yin Zhong's claw.
The immense impact force caused both of them to retreat a few steps.
Seeing that the man in black before him was actually able to knock him back, Yin Zhong asked:
"Who exactly are you?"
Duan Fengyun laughed and said:
"Second Master Yin, didn't we just cross paths last night?
How could you forget me so quickly!"
After hearing this, Yin Zhong took two small steps back and said:
"It's you! Who exactly are you!"
Duan Fengyun feigned an air of dominance as if looking down upon the world and replied:
"This seat is Di Shitian, the master of the Dragon Gate!"
Yin Zhong shook his head; he had never heard of any Di Shitian or any Dragon Gate. It seemed this man in black before him was definitely making a fool of him.
Yin Zhong swung his fist at Duan Fengyun again, and Duan Fengyun used the Heaven Frost Fist to trade a blow with Yin Zhong.
Watching Yin Zhong's hand become frozen by the frost energy, Duan Fengyun teased:
"Second Master Yin, let me correct you on one thing here.
If I did something, I will admit it; if I didn't do it, I will not allow others to force it upon me.
Second Master Yin, now that the blood python and the Mercury Pool have been destroyed, your injuries will be hard to recover from, oh!"
Upon hearing this, Yin Zhong was even more shocked, and he asked in disbelief:
"Who exactly are you?
How do you know the purpose of the blood python and the Mercury Pool?"
Duan Fengyun laughed and said:
"I already told you just now, this seat is the master of the Dragon Gate.
Let's end it here for today, Second Master Yin, take care."
After speaking, Duan Fengyun flew away directly, disappearing from Yin Zhong's sight in the blink of an eye.
