Chapter 259: Completion of the Dragon God Skill

Having left Longze Villa, Duan Fengyun put on a mask of Qin Shuang; from then on, he would move about this world in the identity of Qin Shuang, until he felt he could show his true face.

Duan Fengyun arrived at an ordinary inn, asked the waiter to arrange a guest room for him, and treated this guest room as his long-term residence.

This time he became low-key; after all, for three wealthy and ostentatious young men to appear in a market in succession would inevitably arouse people's suspicions.

Duan Fengyun closed the room door, lit incense, and began to recall the Dragon God Skill in his mind.

Meanwhile, Tong Bo and Dou Dou, who had finished informing the Iron Guard of Yujian Villa and requesting their help in capturing those few men in black, had already returned to Yujian Villa.

Seeing Yinxiu sitting alone in the main hall, Tong Bo asked in confusion:

"Yinxiu, why are you the only one here?

Where are Tong Zhan and Duan Fengyun?"

Yinxiu replied:

"That fellow Tong Zhan followed after you left and hasn't come back yet.

As for that fellow Duan Fengyun, I haven't seen him all day, and I don't know where he went."

Upon hearing this, Tong Bo said in surprise:

"What, Tong Zhan hasn't returned yet.

It seems he cannot bear to be away from Tianxue for even a single second.

Why hasn't Brother Duan returned yet? He shouldn't have any friends here, so how could he stay out for so long?"

At this moment, as if thinking of something, Dou Dou spoke up:

"Tong Dage, do you think Duan Fengyun might be in league with those few men in black?

They are tracking us now, and after completing a big job, they will vanish without a trace and flee to a distant land.

It's not impossible that Duan Fengyun's previous injury was a bitter-meat scheme, all to gain our trust and then infiltrate our ranks."

One has to admire Dou Dou's intelligence; after a round of guessing, she had actually guessed more than half of Duan Fengyun's plan.

Tong Bo shook his head after hearing this; he had a feeling that Duan Fengyun had nothing to do with those men in black, but Duan Fengyun's identity was indeed problematic.

Tong Bo said:

"Let's wait a little longer; perhaps Brother Duan went somewhere to have fun or drink and lost track of time.

Let's wait and see."

After hearing Tong Bo's words, Dou Dou said nothing, and the three of them waited in the main hall for Duan Fengyun to return.

At this time, Tong Zhan, having finished exchanging sentiments, returned to the villa and saw the three of them sitting in the hall; Tong Zhan asked in confusion:

"Big Brother, Dou Dou, Yinxiu, are you waiting for me?"

Just as Tong Bo was about to answer, Yinxiu interrupted directly:

"Knowing you're busy with matters of the heart, we are certainly not waiting for you.

We are waiting for that brat Duan Fengyun; that brat hasn't returned since he went out."

Tong Zhan said in surprise after hearing this:

"What, Duan Fengyun hasn't returned yet?

Could something have happened to him? Should we go out and look for him?"

Dou Dou stood up and said:

"I think Duan Fengyun must have fled in fear of punishment; he must have colluded with outsiders to steal my father's Jade Bracelet and then flown far away."

"Dou Dou, nothing has been brought to light yet; do not make wild guesses. I believe Brother Duan is definitely not that kind of person."

Tong Bo argued; although Tong Bo also knew that Duan Fengyun's appearance was suspicious, he had never doubted Duan Fengyun.

In Duan Fengyun, Tong Bo did not feel that kind of deep-seated scheming.

Tong Bo was certain that Duan Fengyun had no ill intentions toward them; he had confidence in Duan Fengyun.

Tong Zhan spoke up:

"Since Brother Duan hasn't returned, should we go look for him? He is too high-profile in his conduct; I am worried he might be targeted by people with ill intentions."

Dou Dou and Yinxiu also nodded, indicating they should find the person first.

Tong Bo said:

"Before we go out to look for him, let's first see if he is in his room.

In case Yinxiu overslept and didn't know Duan Fengyun had returned, we would have wasted our efforts for nothing."

Regarding Tong Bo's words, Yinxiu did not refute them in the slightest.

Because such a thing had happened before.

At that time, Tong Xin went out early in the morning and did not return for a long time.

Yinxiu, who had been at home, said he hadn't seen Tong Xin, which worried Tong Bo and Tong Zhan terribly.

The two of them searched all over Longze Villa, the market, and Yujian Villa, but could not find Tong Xin.

Finally, having gained nothing, the two returned to Longze Villa and, while passing by Tong Xin's room by chance, discovered Tong Xin sleeping soundly inside.

After Tong Xin woke up, the two asked about the situation and learned that when Tong Xin returned, Yinxiu was sleeping.

In order not to disturb Yinxiu, Tong Xin had quietly returned to his room to sleep by himself.

So this time, Tong Bo suspected it might be the same situation as last time.

Duan Fengyun had actually returned long ago, but because Yinxiu was sleeping, he hadn't noticed Duan Fengyun's return.

Thinking of this, Tong Bo immediately led the three of them to outside Duan Fengyun's room.

"Bang, bang, bang."

Tong Bo knocked on the door a few times in a hurry, but there was no response from inside.

"Brother Duan, are you there?

If you are there, make a sound; if you don't make a sound, I'm going to push the door open and come in."

Tong Bo spoke up.

But there was still no sound from inside; seeing this, Dou Dou kicked the door open and walked in.

At this moment, the sky had gradually darkened, and with the help of the faint moonlight, the few of them saw everything in the room clearly.

The bedding was folded neatly, but Duan Fengyun and his luggage were not in the room.

Upon seeing the letter on the table, Yinxiu took it under the moonlight and read aloud:

"To Tong Dage!"

Tong Bo lit a candle, and the entire room instantly brightened.

Tong Bo then took the letter from Yinxiu's hand and began to read:

"Tong Dage, by the time you see this letter, I should already be on my way back to the Capital.

This morning, while I was out, I ran into the page boys and guards who had come looking for me.

The page boy told me that because of my willfulness and running away from home, my father was so angry that he vomited blood incessantly and is now lying in bed, hovering between life and death.

And because of my father's collapse, the situation of the Clan is deteriorating day by day.

Furthermore, the family I am betrothed to refuses to let our family off.

They said if I do not marry their daughter, they will destroy our family.

For the sake of my father and the Clan, I have no choice but to sacrifice myself.

Tong Dage, the time I spent with you all was only a few short days.

But I felt your spirit of chivalry throughout it, and I regret that I cannot become one of you.

I suppose I will not be able to take my revenge, so I must trouble you, Tong Dage, to help me take revenge on my behalf.

If you ever come to the Capital in the future, you must come find me; I will certainly treat you to a good drink, Tong Dage.

I wish you and Miss Dou Dou a happy ending in advance, and may you complete your life's great event soon.

Sigh, what a pity, I can no longer live my single life.

Tong Dage, may we meet again by fate.

Duan Fengyun leaves this!"

After reading the letter left by Duan Fengyun, Tong Bo handed it to Dou Dou.

After reading it, Dou Dou said, both angry and embarrassed:

"This Duan Fengyun must have fled because his scheme was exposed.

Tong Dage, we cannot let Duan Fengyun go, let's hurry and chase him!"

After Tong Zhan picked up the letter that Dou Dou had thrown on the table and read it, he looked at Tong Bo and asked:

"Dage, do you think this letter is worth believing?"

Tong Bo replied:

"I do not believe the content of the letter, but I also do not believe that Duan Fengyun fled out of fear of punishment because his scheme was exposed.

I believe there must be other reasons for his departure."

Dou Dou said with an angry expression:

"I really don't know what kind of love potion that Duan Fengyun fed you, for you to trust him so much."

Tong Bo smiled:

"Perhaps this is the trust between men.

Alright, let's not talk about Brother Duan's matter for now; everyone hasn't eaten yet, let's go to the kitchen together to lend a hand and get dinner ready first.

As for the truth of Brother Duan's matter, when we have time, we will go to the Capital to see for ourselves."

Hearing Tong Bo's words and feeling the protest coming from her stomach, Dou Dou nodded, finally no longer being stubborn about Duan Fengyun's matter.

At this moment, the real Duan Fengyun, who had triggered the argument between Dou Dou and Tong Bo, was at a critical moment in practicing the Dragon God Skill.

Possessing the two great treasures of the dragon race, the Dragon Vein and the Dragon Essence, Duan Fengyun's practice of the Dragon God Skill was as simple as drinking water.

Even for someone as strong as Tong Bo, who possessed the same natural talent as Long Teng, it took ten years to cultivate the Dragon God Skill to the highest realm.

Yet Duan Fengyun only spent one afternoon to achieve a Breakthrough to the highest realm of the Dragon God Skill.

Duan Fengyun felt a ball of fire burning inside his body that would not extinguish, and his body felt uncomfortably swollen.

Duan Fengyun remembered that in the original drama, Tong Bo felt the same way when he practiced the Dragon God Skill to the highest realm.

Taking advantage of the dead of night, Duan Fengyun opened the window and flew out.

Duan Fengyun traveled all the way to the side of a pond, and he could finally no longer control the boiling flames within his body.

He channeled the incantation of the Dragon God Skill, formed his hands into palms, and with one strike, the pond was directly severed in the middle by him.

After a bout of venting, the flames in his body finally extinguished, and his body finally returned to calm.

Duan Fengyun used his Spirit Sense to sense the surroundings, and after confirming there was no one around, he directly used the Dragon God Skill to transform into a dragon.

Transforming into a dragon shadow, Duan Fengyun looked at the lake surface; he had now turned into a golden dragon shadow.

Unlike the dragon transformation from his Dragon Essence, where he directly became a physical golden dragon,

the dragon transformation of the Dragon God Skill only turned him into a golden dragon shadow.

Compared to the Dragon Essence's transformation, the Dragon God Skill's transformation was more agile; Duan Fengyun felt his whole body was incomparably light, with a feeling of being able to do whatever he pleased.

While the Dragon Essence's transformation was full of destructive power, it was very clumsy.

Comparing the two, Duan Fengyun still preferred the Dragon God Skill; after all, the Dragon God Skill allowed him to do as he pleased, whereas the Dragon Essence's transformation was clumsy and also ruined his clothes every time.

Duan Fengyun used the Dragon God Skill, happily rippled across the water once, and then transformed back into human form.

According to the plan of Tong Bo and the others, they should soon be taking Yin Zhong to Shuiyue Dongtian to unseal the Tong Clan.

If that were the case, after the battle at Shuiyue, Yin Zhong would be sealed into Hell Valley and completely cultivate into a demonic body.

And this also meant that the Destiny of Tong Bo, Yin Zhong, and Tong Xin was about to change.

I truly look forward to the emergence of the Nether Sword, but I must also find the Xuanyuan Sword as soon as possible.

Where on earth did that guy Martial Dao Gate hide the Xuanyuan Sword for me? Given the connection between the Xuanyuan Sword and me, I actually haven't sensed the existence of the Xuanyuan Sword for so long.
