Chapter 97: The Dao God of Fists Falls

Very quickly, the three of them had fully mapped out the entire terrain and personnel deployment of Quanzhuang.

Furthermore, as the kitchen staff, the three of them soon learned the dietary habits of Quan Dao Shen and the crowd of people under him.

The three felt the time was about right, so they began preparing to make their move.

Duan Fengyun divided the bone-softening powder into two portions, kept one part for himself, gave the other part to Nie Feng and Bu Jingyun, and the three acted separately.

Because the meals Duan Fengyun had prepared over the past few days were highly favored by Quan Dao Shen, he was basically the one in charge of the kitchen on his side.

Taking advantage of the fact that the assistant beside him was not paying attention, he sprinkled the bone-softening powder into Quan Dao Shen's meal.

As for Nie Feng and Bu Jingyun, they did not have it as easy as Duan Fengyun; the two were only responsible for chopping firewood and had no opportunity to enter the kitchen.

It just so happened that someone brought over two buckets of water at this time; Nie Feng stepped forward to converse with them, while Bu Jingyun took the opportunity to pour the bone-softening powder into the water.

Fortunately, the bone-softening powder was colorless and odorless, otherwise, this operation of theirs would have been discovered long ago.

After Duan Fengyun had a subordinate take the meal to Quan Dao Shen, he slipped into the kitchen to chat with everyone.

Receiving a hint from Nie Feng's eyes, Duan Fengyun knew they had also succeeded.

The three of them deliberately avoided eating at noon, not consuming the food made with the water that had been seasoned.

Seeing that everyone had eaten the food containing the seasoning, the three knew the opportunity had arrived.

In his private kitchen, Duan Fengyun used the remaining ingredients to prepare a few dishes again and began eating with Nie Feng and Bu Jingyun.

When they finished their meal and walked out of the kitchen, they saw that no one had yet discovered they had been tricked.

The three walked to their room, took out their respective weapons from under the bed boards, and prepared to make their move.

The three acted separately, each quietly and silently taking care of everyone in Quanzhuang.

Out of consideration for the time spent together over these past few days, Duan Fengyun and the others acted very swiftly; all the guards were sent to the Western Heaven by the three without noticing or feeling pain.

Now that all the small fish and shrimp had been dealt with, it was time for the three to go find the giant crocodile behind the small fish and shrimp.

Duan Fengyun threw the Jue Sword to Nie Feng to hold; he wanted to go see if Quan Dao Shen was actually poisoned.

He arrived at Quan Dao Shen's room and knocked on the door, and Quan Dao Shen's voice came from inside:

"Who is it? Come in!"

Duan Fengyun pushed open the door, and seeing that Quan Dao Shen was still eating heartily, he breathed a sigh of relief and said:

"My lord, is this meal I prepared to your liking?"

Quan Dao Shen, who was annoyed at being interrupted while eating, was initially somewhat angry, but upon realizing that the person before him was the cook he had recently been praising, his attitude did a one-hundred-and-eighty-degree turn in an instant.

He said politely:

"Not bad, not bad. I am very satisfied with the dishes you made; you should keep up the good work."

Duan Fengyun smiled and replied:

"As long as you are satisfied."

Duan Fengyun turned around, closed the door, and walked out; Quan Dao Shen looked at Duan Fengyun's back, feeling somewhat distracted.

He was very familiar with this back, and then there was the voice; although Duan Fengyun had deliberately changed his voice, Quan Dao Shen still sensed a familiar tone.

However, familiar as he was, Quan Dao Shen could not immediately recall who this familiar back and voice belonged to.

Duan Fengyun found Nie Feng and Bu Jingyun and indicated that Quan Dao Shen had already eaten the food, and they could make their move a little later.

A quarter of an hour later, the three felt the time was about right, and then walked toward Quan Dao Shen's room.

Duan Fengyun kicked open the main door of Quan Dao Shen's room and looked at Quan Dao Shen with a grin.

Quan Dao Shen was now extremely furious; his meal had been interrupted repeatedly, and even if this person was a cook he liked very much, he would not let them off.

Duan Fengyun spoke up:

"Quan Dao Shen, long time no see."

Quan Dao Shen looked at the three in confusion; the three's current disguises made it impossible for Quan Dao Shen to recognize them, and he asked:

"Who exactly are you people?"

The three of Duan Fengyun tore off their fake beards, then drew their weapons and pointed them at Quan Dao Shen, saying:

"Now you should be able to recognize us!"

Quan Dao Shen gritted his teeth and said:

"Duan Fengyun, Nie Feng, Bu Jingyun, it's you!"

Duan Fengyun teased:

"It is indeed your three masters."

Quan Dao Shen looked at the three, and his previous questions were all resolved in an instant; he said:

"So it was all you people causing trouble behind the scenes.

You were the ones who set fire to the Fist Sect, right?

Jue Wushen must have been killed by you as well.

To think that Juexin and I searched for so long, never expecting that you were by my side the whole time."

Duan Fengyun laughed:

"When it all comes down to it, it's because you are all too stupid."

Nie Feng spoke up:

"Quan Dao Shen, back then you held my mother hostage and even ordered Juexin to kill her; today I shall take your dog life."

Quan Dao Shen laughed loudly:

"In the Central Plains Martial Arts, I was outnumbered and defeated by your hands.

Now that you have arrived in Dongying, you still dare to speak such wild words; I will make you wish you were dead but unable to die.

Someone come, seize them for me."

Quan Dao Shen shouted a few times, but no one entered.

Duan Fengyun laughed and said:

"You don't need to shout; we have already sent them on the road to the Yellow Springs.

You don't need to be anxious; we will send you down there immediately."

Quan Dao Shen gathered his True Qi and threw a punch at the three of them, but Duan Fengyun and the others jumped behind him; the room was too cramped, so they would compete with Quan Dao Shen again in a more spacious area.

Quan Dao Shen's reputation from dominating Dongying for so many years was truly not just talk; after so long, the toxicity of the bone-softening powder still hadn't taken effect.

This time, Nie Feng told Bu Jingyun and Duan Fengyun not to intervene, as he wanted to take Quan Dao Shen's life himself.

Nie Feng held the Snow Drink Saber and slashed directly at Quan Dao Shen with the Cold Pride Six Decisions.

Quan Dao Shen gripped his hands into fists, and his punching force collided continuously with Nie Feng's saber Qi.

Seeing this formation, Quan Dao Shen couldn't help but sigh in his heart:

He had originally thought Duan Fengyun was the strongest of the three, but judging by the current exchange with Nie Feng, Nie Feng's martial arts should be no less than Duan Fengyun's.

Since Nie Feng was like this, then Bu Jingyun, who was also taken as a disciple by Wuming, must also be similar in strength to the two of them.

This trio's combination indeed had the strength to come to Dongying; it seemed he was in grave danger today.

Sighing was one thing, but Quan Dao Shen would not easily admit defeat.

He clenched his fists tightly, looking as if he were preparing to use his ultimate move to finish the fight with Nie Feng quickly.

Nie Feng also saw through Quan Dao Shen's intentions and no longer held back; he placed the Snow Drink Saber in front of his chest and then unleashed the Wind Blade.

Just as the two were about to collide fiercely, Quan Dao Shen's momentum suddenly softened, and he spat out a mouthful of blood; he felt his True Qi dissipating continuously.

Experienced and knowledgeable as he was, how could he not know what this was? He gritted his teeth and said hatefully:

"Duan Fengyun, you are so despicable, actually using poison!"

Duan Fengyun replied:

"This was all learned from you Dongying people!

Brother Feng, don't waste words with him; the sounds of the fight must have already spread out. Finish this quickly to prevent any changes."

After hearing this, Nie Feng slashed his already gathered saber momentum directly at Quan Dao Shen.

Having lost his True Qi, Quan Dao Shen was now like a defenseless cripple; how could he possibly withstand this strongest killing move from Nie Feng?

This Earth-Splitting Slash from Nie Feng cleaved Quan Dao Shen in two from bottom to top.

Quan Dao Shen died!
