Chapter 302: Duan Fengyun Learns Martial Arts

At this moment, Feitian Feng and the others, still clinking cups inside the ruined temple, did not yet know that the Death God was already swinging his scythe toward them.

Duan Fengyun walked into the ruined temple with a murderous look on his face, then sneered at Feitian Feng and the others, who were busy toasting each other:

"Eat your fill, so you'll be ready to hit the road later!"

Seeing Duan Fengyun arrive, the group stopped what they were doing, then quickly grabbed the weapons at their sides and stood opposite Duan Fengyun.

Feitian Feng teased:

"Boss Qin, you really are a good father, coming so quickly!

But why did you come empty-handed? Don't you want to save your precious son?"

Duan Fengyun sneered:

"Ten thousand taels of gold!

Don't be anxious; even if I gave it to you, you wouldn't have the chance to use it."

One of the underlings, seeing Duan Fengyun speaking in such a strange, mocking tone, instantly flew into a rage.

"You really don't shed tears until you see the coffin!

Someone, bring his precious son out; today I want to see whether he wants his money or his precious son's life."

Another person heard this and immediately turned to walk behind them, preparing to bring Xiao Duantian out.

But when he walked behind the Buddha statue, he did not see a trace of Xiao Duantian, and after searching all around, he still could not find him.

He hurried over to Feitian Feng's ear and said:

"Big Sister, that kid is gone!"

Feitian Feng's expression changed drastically upon hearing this, but she feigned composure and said:

"Boss Qin, do you still want to see your precious son or not?

If you don't want to see him, we're going to leave with him."

Duan Fengyun laughed aloud:

"Your underling must not have found my son just now.

My son has already been rescued by me.

I am here now to send you all to see the King of Hell.

Since you are so ignorant of life and death, there is no need for you to live in this world anymore."

Several bandits laughed aloud:

"Hahahaha, just you?

Boss Qin, you are really talking big.

Since your son is gone, we'll just capture you and have your wife bring money to save you; it's the same thing.

Boss Qin, no offense!"

Having said that, two of them took their blades and walked toward Duan Fengyun.

Both of them had mocking expressions on their faces, not taking Duan Fengyun to heart in the slightest.

In their eyes, merchants like Duan Fengyun were all cowards, and they could take him down with ease.

Duan Fengyun revealed a look of mockery, then raised his palm and lightly slashed it toward the two.

Before the mocking expressions on their faces could even fade, they had already been split in two by a single palm-blade.

Duan Fengyun, with his killing intent aroused, had just used the Demon Blade directly, taking their lives instantly.

"Daqiang! Xiaoqiang!"

Looking at the corpses lying on the ground, the remaining five, including Feitian Feng, finally realized that they had poked a giant hornet's nest this time.

They had originally thought Duan Fengyun was a sheep, but they never expected that this was no sheep; this was a lion that had simply not wanted to haggle with them too much.

Aside from Feitian Feng, the other four fell to their knees with a thud and begged for mercy:

"Boss Qin, we know we were wrong.

Please raise your hand and spare us.

We will never dare to provoke you again."

Feitian Feng also spoke up at this time:

"Boss Qin, the ignorant are not guilty; please show mercy.

We didn't harm your young master; please be the bigger person and let us go."

Duan Fengyun spoke with murderous intensity:

"Last time you broke into my house at night, I spared you once because you only sought wealth and did not take lives.

Since you dared to kidnap my son this time—you can touch anyone, but you cannot touch my family.

Commit suicide; that way you can keep your bodies intact.

Otherwise, you will end up just like the two from before."

At this, the four kneeling on the ground stood up one after another, gripping their weapons tightly. Feitian Feng stared fixedly at Duan Fengyun and asked:

"Boss Qin, is there really no room for negotiation today?

If you insist on this, then we have no choice but to fight to the death."

Duan Fengyun laughed aloud:

"A bunch of small-fry, what right do you have to talk to me about fighting to the death?

Killing you would only dirty my hands!

Come at me together, so I don't have to deal with you one by one."

The four bandits raised their weapons and charged at Duan Fengyun, and their outcome was even more miserable than the previous two.

Duan Fengyun slashed a palm-blade directly across the waists of the four, and they were cut in two at the waist.

The four of them looked at their severed lower bodies, and only then did the intense pain surge into their hearts.

The four of them picked up their weapons one after another, placed them against their own throats, and said:

"Boss Qin, all of this was our own idea and has nothing to do with our eldest sister; please let our eldest sister go.

Eldest sister, farewell!"

After speaking, the four of them exerted force one after another, then collapsed into a pool of blood.

Duan Fengyun touched his own palm and mocked:

"I already told you to commit suicide, yet you still insisted on making me finish you off; you really don't know what's good for you."

Afterward, Duan Fengyun looked at Feitian Feng and teased:

"Feitian Feng, now you are the only one left.

Tell me, how do you want to die? I will grant your wish."

After witnessing the death of the six brothers who had followed her for many years with her own eyes, Feitian Feng wore a self-mocking expression on her face and said:

"How to die!

Qin Shuang, do it.

Even if I, Feitian Feng, die, I will turn into a vengeful ghost and come back to seek revenge on you.

I will make sure not a single soul in your Qin family is left alive to avenge my six brothers.

Hahahaha!"

Seeing Feitian Feng's appearance, Duan Fengyun laughed:

"A vengeful ghost!

Even Yama would have to take a detour upon seeing me; what is a mere vengeful ghost?

Since you want to reunite with your brothers so badly, I will send you on your way."

Duan Fengyun exerted force with his right arm, and the Zhurong Fire Spirit flew directly toward Feitian Feng, burning her alive.

"Qin Shuang, you will die a horrible death!

Even as a ghost, I, Feitian Feng, will not let you go!"

Duan Fengyun turned around and walked straight out the door, letting Feitian Feng roll around inside.

Soon, the entire dilapidated temple was ignited by the Zhurong Fire Spirit, and plumes of black smoke rose toward the sky.

After completing its task, the Zhurong Fire Spirit returned once again into Duan Fengyun's Kirin Arm.

Duan Fengyun sniffed his body, and after finding no scent of blood, he completely calmed his killing intent and walked toward Yueya and Xiao Duantian with a smile on his face.

Seeing Duan Fengyun walking over with a smile, Xiao Duantian ran forward and hugged Duan Fengyun.

"Daddy, you're finally back.

Where are those bad people?

Daddy, did you deal with them?

Did they realize they were wrong?"

Duan Fengyun patted Xiao Duantian's head and said:

"Daddy has already dealt with them, and they have realized they were wrong.

They promised Daddy that they would never come to harass us again."

Looking at the black smoke continuously rising behind Duan Fengyun, Yueya had already guessed what Duan Fengyun had done.

Duan Fengyun said to Yueya:

"Let's go.

They have already returned to dust and earth.

From now on, they will never appear in our sight again."

As for this sudden incident, Duan Fengyun had a decision in his heart; he would discuss it with Yueya after they returned.

After Duan Fengyun carried Xiao Duantian and returned home with Yueya, the wet nurse and the others saw Xiao Duantian return and said with teary eyes:

"Little Young Master, you're back.

Little Young Master, are you hurt anywhere?

If you are in pain anywhere, tell your wet nurse."

The wet nurse and the others knew that Xiao Duantian's safety was tied to their livelihoods; if anything were to happen to Xiao Duantian, their livelihoods would certainly be lost.

Xiao Duantian smiled in Duan Fengyun's arms:

"Wet nurse, I'm fine, don't worry!"

"It's good that you're fine, it's good that you're fine!"

The wet nurse patted her chest in relief.

"Wet nurse, help me watch Tian'er; I have something to discuss with Yueya."

Duan Fengyun handed Xiao Duantian to the wet nurse and then pulled Yueya into the room.

Yueya asked suspiciously:

"Is there something you want to tell me?"

Duan Fengyun nodded and said:

"Yes.

After this incident, I feel that it is time for Tian'er to start learning martial arts.

Whether it is this world or my world, it is a place where the weak are prey to the strong and only the fittest survive.

If Tian'er does not have the ability to protect himself, we are destined to pay the price for the consequences.

So I have decided that starting from today, I will begin teaching Tian'er martial arts."

Yueya looked at Duan Fengyun and said:

"If you teach Tian'er martial arts that do not belong to this world, aren't you afraid that your identity will be exposed?"

Duan Fengyun shook his head and replied:

"For now, I will only let Tian'er start learning from the foundations of martial arts. When he is a little older and able to keep secrets, I will start teaching him some secret techniques.

Moreover, I feel that my business in this world is almost finished; I am about to return, and you will finally get to see your beloved Sister Youruo."

Yueya rolled her eyes at Duan Fengyun, but since she had no other relatives in this world, only her husband Duan Fengyun and her son Xiao Duantian, she would naturally follow wherever the father and son went.

However, Yueya still had one concern.

"I think we should still ask for Tian'er's opinion. If he doesn't want to learn martial arts, then we cannot force him!"

Duan Fengyun nodded and replied:

"That is for certain.

If Tian'er wants to learn, I will teach him well.

If he has no interest in learning martial arts, I will not force him; I will just find a few experts to protect him in the future."

After the couple reached a consensus, Duan Fengyun walked to the courtyard and called over Xiao Duantian, who was playing with his wet nurse and others.

"Tian'er, come here quickly.

Your father and mother have something to tell you!"

"Okay, Father!

Wet nurse, wait for me a moment, I'm going to Father and Mother first."

After Xiao Duantian said this to the wet nurse and the others, he trotted into the room.

"Father, Mother, why are you looking for me?"

Duan Fengyun stroked Xiao Duantian's head and asked:

"Tian'er, Father wants to ask you something.

Do you want to learn martial arts?"

Upon hearing about learning martial arts, Xiao Duantian immediately said excitedly:

"Father, of course I do.

I dream of being like those great heroes who eliminate violence and bring peace.

If I knew martial arts, that group of bandits today wouldn't have been able to do anything to me."

As the son of Duan Fengyun, Duantian naturally inherited Duan Fengyun's combative genes, so he was full of interest in learning martial arts.

Yueya spoke up:

"Tian'er, you have to think clearly, practicing martial arts is a very arduous thing."

Xiao Duantian said firmly:

"I am not afraid of hardship. Doesn't Father often say?

Only by enduring the bitterest of the bitter can one rise above the rest."

Duan Fengyun smiled slightly at Yueya; Xiao Duantian had not disappointed them after all.

Duan Fengyun laughed:

"Good, Tian'er. Starting tomorrow morning, I will wake you up on time to practice martial arts. If you are lazy, Father will punish you!"

Xiao Duantian nodded, hugged Duan Fengyun, and said:

"Father, just bring it on!"

Thus, Duan Fengyun's second son, Duantian, began his path of the Dao of martial arts, and the young master who would later shake the heavens and myriad worlds began his first step toward his future renown.
