Chapter 294: Bandits at the Door
After learning about what had happened to Tong Bo and the others over these past five years, Tong Zhan felt much more relaxed.
A relaxed Tong Zhan and Yin Tianxue arrived in their room; there was still one most important matter the two of them had yet to complete.
The two sat on the bed, and Tong Zhan stroked Yin Tianxue's face as he said:
"Tianxue, you are truly beautiful!"
As he spoke, Tong Zhan laid Yin Tianxue flat on the bed, and the two began to embrace each other tightly.
With a pained moan from Yin Tianxue, the two finally completed what should have been finished on their wedding night.
While Tong Zhan and Yin Tianxue were busy in the heat of passion, Tong Xin was wandering about.
Ahead of Tong Xin, a group of masked individuals was preparing to sneak into a wealthy local household to commit theft.
One of the men in black said to their leader:
"Boss, this is the home of Qin Shuang, the Boss of the Ririsheng Guild; he can be considered one of the wealthiest people here.
There is another place, Yujian Villa, but it is heavily guarded and difficult to strike at.
This place, however, has few guards, so I chose to strike here."
Indeed, this group of men in black had unknowingly found their way to the doorstep of Duan Fengyun, wanting to make a small fortune from him.
The leader spoke up:
"There are barely any guards here?
Could it be that this Qin Shuang is highly skilled in martial arts, and thus bold enough to not arrange for any guards?"
The leader unexpectedly let out a female voice; she was a female bandit.
The underling replied:
"I have inquired about it; although this Qin Shuang has some ability, he cannot be considered a master.
Later, we will use a little Soul Bewitching Incense, and once we have knocked them all out, all of his treasures will be ours."
What this underling did not know was that in these five years, everyone who had seen Duan Fengyun make a move had already met the King of Hell; how could they have leaked Duan Fengyun's martial arts background to the outside world?
The female bandit leader said:
"Good, since that is the case, we will use the Soul Bewitching Incense to knock them out before we strike.
Remember, unless absolutely necessary, you must not take any lives."
This group of men in black had committed their fair share of robberies, but they had basically never killed or set fires, which is why they had been tolerated until today.
At this moment, inside the room, Duan Fengyun, who was holding Xiao Duantian, wore a sneer on his face.
Seeing Duan Fengyun suddenly sneer, Yueya asked in confusion:
"What are you laughing at?"
Duan Fengyun laughed:
"A group of people who don't know the meaning of death has set their sights on our home.
But fortunately, their leader said they only want money and won't hurt anyone, otherwise, I would have them all account for their lives here today."
Upon hearing this, Yueya was about to open the door and go out to investigate, but she was stopped by Duan Fengyun.
Yueya said:
"Why are you stopping me?
I haven't used the Dragon God Skill you taught me even once; it would be perfect to test it out on this group of people."
Duan Fengyun had already sensed that Tong Xin was rushing in this direction, and the Dragon God Skill was too eye-catching; unless it was a moment of crisis, he would not allow Yueya to use it.
Once Yueya used the Dragon God Skill, that would be the moment their identities were exposed.
Duan Fengyun explained:
"Yueya, besides this group of men in black who want to come here to make a fortune, Tong Xin of the three Tong brothers is also coming over.
Let us let Tong Xin help us deal with this group of men in black.
Also, you must never use the Dragon God Skill unless it is a critical moment, because the implications of the Dragon God Skill are too great; once you use it, our identities will be exposed."
After listening to Duan Fengyun's words, Yueya lowered her head in disappointment.
Ever since she learned the Dragon God Skill, her hands had been itching to find someone to spar with, but she had always been blocked by Duan Fengyun.
Looking at the disappointed Yueya, Duan Fengyun smiled:
"Don't be anxious, the day when we no longer need to deliberately disguise ourselves is not far off.
When that time comes, you can use the Dragon God Skill however you like.
Because Tian'er doesn't know the situation, let's pretend to be affected by the smoke and act as if we've fainted along with Tian'er.
Let Tong Xin help us deal with these bandits."
Yueya nodded and continued to play with Xiao Duantian.
At this moment, by some stroke of fate, Tong Xin had also arrived near Duan Fengyun's house.
Just as he was about to leave, Tong Xin heard rustling conversation coming from a corner nearby; driven by curiosity, he quietly moved behind the group of men in black.
Looking at this group of sneaky men in black, Tong Xin knew exactly what they were up to without even having to think.
Tong Xin hid behind the group of men in black and quietly observed them to see what they wanted to do!
After Duan Fengyun sensed that Tong Xin had arrived, in order to cooperate with the men in black's actions, he considerately blew out the candle and lay down on the bed with Yueya and Xiao Duantian.
The scout for the men in black saw the light in the room go out and immediately began to signal.
"Woo-hoo!"
"Woo-hoo!"
Hearing the secret signal from the scout, the female bandit leader said:
"Get ready, the opportunity is here.
Don't forget what I just said; we are only after wealth, not lives."
"You must absolutely not kill anyone!"
The remaining men in black nodded one after another and said:
"Boss, don't worry, this isn't our first time doing this kind of thing.
We will absolutely only take money; we won't harm a single hair on them."
After receiving the assurance from her underlings, the female bandit leader nodded and said:
"Good, move out!"
Meanwhile, Tong Xin, who was in the shadows, felt a wave of amusement upon hearing that this group of bandits was actually so righteous, seeking only wealth and not taking lives; he wanted to see what kind of tricks these bandits could pull off.
The female bandit leader led several men in black over the wall and arrived silently outside Duan Fengyun's room.
After lighting an incense for stupefaction and blowing it into the room, the female bandit leader led her subordinates to start wandering around Duan Fengyun's home.
The female bandit leader spoke up:
"With such a large Ririsheng Guild, why is this Qin Shuang's home so strapped for cash?
Such a small courtyard; if I were as rich as him, I would have gotten myself a large courtyard long ago."
In fact, Duan Fengyun had long had the idea of moving to a larger courtyard, but Yueya was used to living here and didn't want to move, and plus, Duan Fengyun hadn't found a suitable large courtyard in this vicinity, so he had just kept living here.
The group arrived in Duan Fengyun's main hall, and the female bandit leader took a fancy to the several Night Pearls in the hall at a glance.
A subordinate swallowed their saliva and said:
"Boss, these Night Pearls can be considered the largest and brightest Night Pearls we've seen in all these years.
Just these four Night Pearls alone are enough to make this trip worthwhile for us.
Boss, we've struck it rich today!"
The other men in black also shouted:
"Struck it rich."
They were all currently fantasizing about how, after leaving here later, each of them would be divided a large batch of treasure.
With this batch of treasure, they would live the life of debauchery they had dreamed of.
Looking at her subordinates whose saliva was almost dripping onto the floor, the female bandit leader gave each of them a hard rap on the head.
The female bandit leader spoke up:
"Mind your image, your saliva is about to drip onto the floor.
This isn't our home; hurry up and find things, and leave quickly once you're done."
Reminded by the female bandit leader, the group swallowed their saliva back down and began to continue their work.
"Boss, everything in this hall is good stuff.
Night Pearls, golden nanmu wood—these can all be worth quite a lot of money."
One man in black sighed with emotion.
Answering him was another big rap on the head.
"Is your brain stupid? How are you going to move this table and chair?
We are here to find gold, silver, and jewels, not to move tables.
Can't you set your sights a little further?"
"Oh!"
The man in black reluctantly put down the chair in his hand.
Meanwhile, Duan Fengyun, who heard the group's conversation from inside the room, laughed heartily in his heart; they were truly an interesting bunch of thieves.
After ransacking the main hall, the group's eyes finally turned toward Duan Fengyun's room.
"Boss, this main hall is about picked clean.
That guy surnamed Qin must have put all the valuable things in his room; let's go into the room and search!"
"Good, we only take money and wealth; we must not harm anyone's life."
The female bandit leader warned.
The group rushed to the door of Duan Fengyun's room, and just as they were about to pry the door open, Tong Xin's voice rang in their ears.
"After taking so many valuable things, you are actually still not satisfied.
Human greed knows no bounds; if you had purely only taken the things in the main hall, I might not have intervened.
But since you are actually so ungrateful, then I have no choice but to step in and teach you a lesson."
The female bandit leader spoke up:
"Where did this brat come from? Stop trying to block this lady's good fortune.
Be careful, or this lady will kick your butt to pieces.
Your little face is so pretty; if I accidentally scratch your face later, wouldn't that be too much of a pity?"
Tong Xin beckoned with his hand and smiled provocatively:
"If you really have that ability, then come on!"
"Get him, and absolutely do not hit his face."
The female bandit leader gave a loud shout and signaled her subordinates to attack Tong Xin.
The men in black attacked Tong Xin while grumbling:
"What time is it, and the boss is still acting infatuated.
It seems she's taken a fancy to this pretty boy again.
I really don't know what's so good about this pretty boy; he's just a fancy pillow."
The men in black were busy grumbling about the female bandit leader and didn't focus their attention on the battle with Tong Xin at all.
Tong Xin leaped up and then directly knocked the group to the ground with a series of consecutive kicks.
The man in black only then realized that this pretty boy was no pushover.
Several people climbed up from the ground, drew the blades from their backs, and slashed toward Tong Xin.
Right now, they could not care about the female bandit leader's words; the most urgent matter was to get rid of this pretty boy.
However, what answered them was a series of even faster consecutive kicks from Tong Xin.
Under a barrage of kicks from Tong Xin, the several men in black fell to the ground one after another, losing their ability to fight.
If not for a voice in Tong Xin's mind constantly telling him that members of the Tong clan must not take lives, this group of men in black would likely have all gone to meet the King of Hell.
Tong Xin beckoned to the female bandit leader and said:
"Come on, female bandit leader, now there is only one person left.
Use your feet to kick my butt then.
My face is also right here waiting for you to slash it open."
Seeing Tong Xin's provocation, the female bandit leader's reason was instantly blown away by anger.
The female bandit leader raised the sword in her hand and thrust it toward Tong Xin's face, but Tong Xin directly clamped the female bandit leader's sword between two fingers, then immediately kicked the female bandit leader down to the ground.
