Chapter 363: The Dangerous Person, Qin Shuang
Duan Fengyun had no intention of deceiving Yang Su, and he laughed:
"Do you really think I came to your Situ Gong Mansion just to be a tutor?
Yang Su, you are truly too naive.
I know that in order to learn your Divine Fire Clone, Yuwen Tuo must have been forced to swear some kind of poisonous oath.
But just because he won't teach it, can't I learn it myself?
There are always loopholes in the poisonous oaths you make people like Yuwen Tuo swear."
Seeing that Duan Fengyun had not yet answered his other question, Yang Su continued to ask:
"I have one more question you have not yet answered.
This seat has no grievances or grudges against you in the past or present; why do you oppose this seat at every turn?
And to make this seat lose face in front of so many people—what is the meaning of all this?"
Yang Su was also very depressed; he clearly had no grievances or grudges against this Qin Shuang, so why did this Qin Shuang have to come and impersonate Yuwen Tuo to mock him, and why did he have to make him lose face in front of so many people?
Duan Fengyun would certainly not tell Yang Su that he was just too bored, so he was using Yang Su to practice and see what level his current strength had reached.
He dared not say this to Yang Su, fearing that if he did, Yang Su would fly into a rage and try to perish together with him.
Duan Fengyun laughed:
"I am a good brother of Yuwen Tuo. Since he cannot deal with you, I, as his big brother, have no choice but to do it for him.
Yang Su, I also advise you here: don't even think about using Yuwen Tuo's mother to threaten him again.
I do not believe that by combining the strength of myself and Yuwen Tuo, we cannot rescue his mother."
This conversation between Duan Fengyun and Yang Su could, of course, only be heard by the two of them.
They would not speak of it to the crowd below, especially not to Ning Ke and the others.
Therefore, Ning Ke, who was below, only saw Duan Fengyun moving his mouth, while Yang Su's face looked as if he had eaten something foul, with an expression of constipation.
Ning Ke spoke up:
"Who exactly is this Qin Shuang?
In just a few words, he is actually able to provoke Yang Su to this extent."
Shuxiang laughed:
"This is what they call 'evil is met by its match.'
It seems this Qin Shuang is Yang Su's nemesis."
Indeed, Yang Su, feeling as uncomfortable as if he were constipated, stared at Duan Fengyun; for the first time in so many years, he felt such a severe sense of frustration.
He desperately wanted to cripple the Qin Shuang before him, but he was no match for Qin Shuang and had no way to deal with him at all.
Yang Su now missed the times when Yuwen Tuo was by his side; if Yuwen Tuo were here, once the Xuanyuan Sword was drawn, no matter how much this Qin Shuang struggled, it would all be in vain.
Thinking of this, Yang Su also thought of a way to take revenge: the Xuanyuan Sword!
That's right, the Xuanyuan Sword was his fastest way to take revenge; as long as the Xuanyuan Sword was in his hand, he did not believe he could not deal with this Qin Shuang!
Yang Su, who had always coveted the Xuanyuan Sword, was now obsessed.
Yang Su suddenly realized that now was the perfect opportunity to obtain the Xuanyuan Sword!
Yuwen Tuo had cast off his evil thoughts and become the Incarnation Jianchi, forgetting his past; as long as he used a little trick, the Xuanyuan Sword would surely be obtained.
It was just that Yuwen Tuo was currently at a critical moment in seizing the Five Divine Artifacts, and he could not afford to delay that.
Once his affairs were mostly done, that would be his chance to strike.
Having figured this out, Yang Su's expression improved, and he laughed at Duan Fengyun:
"Qin Shuang, you won't be jumping around for much longer.
Soon I will have a way to deal with you, and when that time comes, I will make you wish for death but be unable to die."
Duan Fengyun immediately realized what method Yang Su was talking about.
In this world, besides the Xuanyuan Sword, what else could make Yang Su so confident?
It was a pity that the more Yang Su coveted the Xuanyuan Sword, the faster he would die.
Yang Su's life belonged to Yuwen Tuo; if he were to kill Yang Su himself, Yuwen Tuo would certainly not have a good impression of him, and would even hate him.
So why should he put in the effort for no reward? It was better to leave Yang Su's dog life to Yuwen Tuo.
In any case, the time was near; once Jing Chou and the others obtained the Kongtong Seal, that would be the end for you, old thing.
Having also figured this out, Duan Fengyun looked at Yang Su with a smile and said:
"Yang Su, don't think I don't know what method you are talking about.
It's a pity I can only tell you that your method is purely wishful thinking.
With your amateur skills, you want to defeat me? You'd better go home and wash up!
Alright, Yang Su, let's stop here for today.
This young master is going home to eat and sleep.
If I'm in a good mood one day, I might come back and teach you a move or two."
After speaking, Duan Fengyun waved at Ning Ke in the crowd to signal that he was leaving.
After all, she was his good brother's beloved, so he still had to greet her when he saw her.
Seeing Duan Fengyun wave, Ning Ke immediately realized he was greeting her.
She gave Duan Fengyun a smiling face and waved back.
Although she wanted to kill this Qin Shuang, that was a matter for the shadows; on the surface, she still had to give some face to this good brother of Yuwen Tuo.
Seeing this, Duan Fengyun also muttered to himself:
"This Ning Ke wants to kill me, yet she still has to pretend to smile.
What a demoness she is!"
Looking around and discovering there were no acquaintances nearby, Duan Fengyun smiled at Yang Su before departing:
"Old thief Yang Su, until we meet again.
Keep your head on your shoulders; it belongs to me!"
After speaking, Duan Fengyun used his Avatar of Divine Fire and vanished directly into a streak of firelight.
Seeing Duan Fengyun leave, Yang Su let out a long sigh of relief.
He had also been very worried just now that Duan Fengyun would engage him in a fierce battle here; now that Duan Fengyun had left, he felt much more at ease.
After being slapped in the face so severely, Yang Su was in no mood to talk nonsense with the crowd below, so he directly used his Avatar of Divine Fire and likewise vanished from everyone's sight in a streak of firelight.
Meanwhile, Ning Ke below was still caught in the shock of Duan Fengyun's departure; she was shocked that this Qin Shuang could actually use the Avatar of Divine Fire as well!
One had to know that this was Yang Su's greatest reliance, which he boasted made him invincible in the world, yet it had been seen on someone else.
Ning Ke spoke up:
"Shuxiang, besides Yang Su and Yuwen Tuo, is there anyone else in the world who knows the Avatar of Divine Fire?"
Shuxiang shook her head and said:
"The Avatar of Divine Fire belongs to the strongest secret technique of Yang Su's Divine Fire Upper Path and is Yang Su's closely guarded secret.
In the world, besides Yang Su, there is only General Yuwen.
I also do not know where this Qin Shuang learned the Avatar of Divine Fire, and looking at the effect of his usage, it should not be inferior to Yang Su and General Yuwen Tuo.
Looking at Yang Su's constipated expression just now, was it perhaps because of this matter of Qin Shuang knowing the Avatar of Divine Fire?
Miss, this Qin Shuang is too mysterious."
Ning Ke said with a serious face:
"What you said is correct; this Qin Shuang is too mysterious.
The more mysterious he is, the more dangerous he is; we must be careful and on guard, and we cannot let him ruin our plans.
We must also inform General Yuwen about Qin Shuang as soon as possible; perhaps he might know a little information."
Between their conversation, the two had already returned to the Prince's Mansion.
The first thing the two did upon returning to the Prince's Mansion was to close the door, take out the Origin Spirit Pearl, and release Evil Thought Yuwen Tuo.
Seeing the serious-looking Ning Ke and Shuxiang, Evil Thought Yuwen Tuo smiled wickedly:
"My two little beauties, how did you become like this after just one trip out?
Come, come, let me properly cherish you."
Ning Ke rolled her eyes at Evil Thought Yuwen Tuo; this Evil Thought Yuwen Tuo made Ning Ke feel a burst of anger every day.
This Evil Thought Yuwen Tuo had none of Yuwen Tuo's gentleness, but he was full of Evil Qi.
Ning Ke rolled her eyes and said:
"Yuwen Tuo, sit down.
I have serious business to tell you!"
Looking at Ning Ke's solemn appearance, Evil Thought Yuwen Tuo knew something must have happened, and he immediately said with a serious face:
"Speak, what is the matter?
What happened outside just now, and why did you return looking like this?"
Ning Ke said solemnly:
"Yuwen Tuo, I ask you, besides Yang Su and you, is there anyone else in the world who knows the Avatar of Divine Fire?"
Evil Thought Yuwen Tuo asked in return:
"The Avatar of Divine Fire is Yang Su's closely guarded secret; back then, I also paid a huge price to learn the Avatar of Divine Fire.
Yang Su made me swear a poisonous oath not to pass it on to others before he taught the Avatar of Divine Fire to me.
Therefore, there should only be the two of us in the world who know the Avatar of Divine Fire."
Ning Ke smiled:
"Then let me tell you, your good big brother Qin Shuang just had a fierce battle with Yang Su outside, and it looked like Yang Su did not get the better of him.
What shocked us the most is that your good big brother Qin Shuang actually knows the Avatar of Divine Fire too!"
"What, how is this possible!"
Evil Thought Yuwen Tuo was also very shocked after hearing this.
Compared to the fact that Duan Fengyun could use the Avatar of Divine Fire, he was even more shocked that Duan Fengyun had fought Yang Su and even gained the upper hand.
One had to know that when he fought Yang Su, if he did not have the Xuanyuan Sword, he would be repelled by Yang Su in just a few moves; now, this big brother Qin Shuang of his was actually able to gain the upper hand in a fight with Yang Su!
Yuwen Tuo knew Yang Su too well; Yang Su would not let people slap his face, especially with so many people around.
Since that was the case, it meant that his big brother Qin Shuang had truly defeated Yang Su.
This made Yuwen Tuo have to be shocked; Qin Shuang was not many years older than him, yet he was already able to defeat Yang Su.
Evil Thought Yuwen Tuo stared at Ning Ke and asked:
"Then what happened later?
Did Qin Shuang kill Yang Su, or did he capture Yang Su?"
Evil Thought Yuwen Tuo was extremely worried, because he feared that Duan Fengyun would kill Yang Su; Yang Su's life was his, and no one could snatch it!
Ning Ke shook her head and said:
"Neither; after that Qin Shuang defeated Yang Su, he left."
Hearing this, Evil Thought Yuwen Tuo breathed a sigh of relief; he was just afraid that Qin Shuang would kill Yang Su directly.
If Yang Su died, who would he go to for this deep blood feud?
He rejoiced:
"As long as Yang Su is still alive, that is fine!"
Ning Ke spoke up:
"But that Qin Shuang is actually capable of the Divine Fire Clone and was able to defeat Yang Su; why did he still have to put on that act from before? Does he have ulterior motives?
Do you think he is also after your Xuanyuan Sword?"
Seeing that Evil Thought Yuwen Tuo did not have the slightest hostility toward Duan Fengyun, Ning Ke deliberately said these words, wanting to sow discord between the two.
Evil Thought Yuwen Tuo shook his head and said:
"That won't be it. I sense that Qin Shuang has no malice toward me; I trust him.
He must also know that Yang Su is my arch-enemy, which is why he left Yang Su for me.
I trust him!"
The reason why Yuwen Tuo trusted Duan Fengyun so much all stemmed from the Xuanyuan Sword.
As a disciple of the Yellow Emperor, Xuanyuan Huangdi, the Xuanyuan Sword naturally sensed Duan Fengyun's identity.
Therefore, through subtle influence, it also caused Yuwen Tuo's favorable impression of Duan Fengyun to constantly rise.
