Old FriendQiu Yan stood in front of Xu Yun with a stern killing aura. In the darkness, the two on the other side seemed as though they completely did not expect this kind of sudden situation.
Ponytail that had just been saved originally thought that the two of them together would be able to escape disaster, but now suddenly someone had murderously burst out that was able to block Qing Long’s full-power h.e.l.l-Thrust attack.
If their opponents were a pair of an Ultra Elite plus a 1st-tier elite, then the two of them could only take the path of losing their lives, and wouldn’t even have the chance to escape.
Ponytail felt endless regret inside – she really shouldn’t have not listened to Qing Long’s advice. Now she had caused such a big problem, and even involved Qing Long. If something bad happened, even if she died there would be no way of freeing herself of sin.
The Young Man wielding the dagger felt the same shock. He was very clear that someone able to parry his dagger and block his full power strike was absolutely not a simple opponent.
“Think of a way to leave HeDong City right now.” The Young Man said to the Ponytail softly. “I’ll hold them as long as I can.”
Even though it wasn’t very loud, but it was br.i.m.m.i.n.g with un-opposable dignity.
He hadn’t thought that his new partner’s first time going on a mission would cause such a big calamity. This afternoon he had time and time again told her to not move rashly, to wait for after he found some information on Crimson Scorpion to work together and kill him.
But who would’ve thought that instead of finding Crimson Scorpion, they would come across another two elites, and the strength of each would be so powerfully dominating.
“You alone aren’t a match for them!” Ponytail refused in one breath. “If we go, we go together!”
Qiu Yan laughed as cold as ice, “None of you even think of leaving!” In speaking with intensity, no one could beat Qiu Yan. For two elites to appear mysteriously in front of the panacea restaurant, G.o.d knows if they weren’t with Crimson Scorpion. Under great pressure, Qiu Yan only had the thought of quickly punishing them.
The Young Man and the Ponytail each tensed their nerves. The Young Man tightly gripped Autumn Waters, sweeping his gaze like lightning over the flexible blade in Qiu Yan’s hands, and softly cried out, “Dragon Abyss!”
Ponytail was secretly shocked, with widened eyes she looked at Qiu Yan. Murmuring to herself she said, “Could it be, she is the infamous Underworld’s Venerated Violent Fox…….”
“Wielding the supple Dragon Abyssal Blade, who else could it be besides the Venerated Violent Fox?” The Young Man coldly said. It seems like this battle would truly be costly – the other side had two people and the weaker was the terrifyingly notorious Venerated Violent Fox, the other was perhaps even more terrifying.
Among these three tense people, none had expected it.
A jubilant laugh came from Xu Yun. “Hahaha! That’s right kid, you still know the Dragon Abyss.”
The Young Man that had an originally tense face suddenly became extremely surprised. His lower lip couldn’t help but to tremble; it was a very familiar laugh.
Qiu Yan’s brow slightly curled, she looked puzzled at Xu Yun. Perhaps he knew them? But just now when that Young Man attacked, he didn’t have the intent to have the slightest shred of mercy, and was rushing to take a life.
Ponytail’s expression was even more surprised. That slovenly dressed, and even obscenely indecent guy, had actually called Qing Long “kid”. Just what was the connection? In her head there was complete confusion, completely unable to find any kind of clue.
“Looks like you finally conquered the Short Edge Autumn Waters, and now you’re like a fish in water. Just now that h.e.l.l Thrust really scared me.” Xu Yun cracked a smile and said, “Qing Long, your progress isn’t just a little.”
The Young Man’s expression went from amazement to extremely teary. A tough guy at 1.85m suddenly had red eyes. Coming out of his nose, with his voice feeling wronged and doubtful he called out, “Boss…..?”
Back then Xu Yun had heard Qin Wan’er say that people from a special unit would come to handle the Crimson Scorpion case, he guessed that perhaps they would be people from Dragon Fury – but that was just a kind of hope, and he completely hadn’t thought that he really would actually come across this guy Qing Long.
Xu Yun faintly smiled, “Mmh, seems like you haven’t forgotten me.”
Qian Feng, codenamed Azure Dragon (Qing Long), Dragon Fury Special Combat Unit, and also Xu Yun’s subordinate from back then.
“Boss, is it really you!?” Qian Feng didn’t even dare to believe his eyes. He stepped forward, and without holding back any force with both hands, he grabbed onto both of Xu Yun’s shoulders, “We all thought you died. Boss, why are you here?”
Ponytail’s brow had twisted into a dough twist. Hearing Qian Feng call out ‘boss’, instantly she understood just who the guy in front of her was – could he be the former legendary person from the Dragon Fury Special Combat Unit? The former military Instructor, dual professioned, master of medicine and Captain of the Dragon Fury Special Combat Unit, Flame Dragon – Xu Yun!
Crack!
Ponytail’s original lofty, mighty, fantasy image instantly burst. She had always thought that the legendary Flame Dragon was a 7-foot, fierce man as strong as a bull. No matter how she thought about it, it was unexpectedly this not-in-the-least convincing guy.
Indeed a person couldn’t be judged on appearances. Ponytail then let out a breath – this unremarkable guy, was an Ultra Elite actually able to use True Qi. No wonder people in Dragon Fury would constantly talk about him.
Qiu Yan’s puzzled gaze watched Xu Yun the whole while.
Xu Yun faintly smiled, “My old friend, he won’t hurt GuoGuo.”
Qiu Yan scoffed, nodded, and her toes lightly hit the floor, and her body jumped and leapt into the second floor window of the panacea restaurant. This had become their shortcut for going in and out of the panacea restaurant.
Watching Qiu Yan who had turned and left, Qian Feng frowned, “Boss, why would you live with such a dangerous person?”
“Long story. Wanna go somewhere and have a drink?” Xu Yun’s eyebrows jumped up and down, not far from the panacea restaurant was a bar.
“Yeah!” Of course Qian Feng wouldn’t refuse, the days he had most longed for were his former boss taking him and Yin Long on missions. Then the three of them would secretly slack off, and together they would go to a bar, looking at beauties for a chance to get lucky.
Xu Yun poked his lips to Qian Feng’s back, “Well you’re getting along pretty well, getting accompanied by girls? Is that ghastly place treating you so well?”
Qian Feng paused, only now did he think of Fan Shuang’er behind him. The wild happiness originally on his face suddenly changed into a bitter smile. “Boss, she’s a rookie in Dragon Fury, Fan Shuang’er.”
Because Fan Shuang’er succeeded the Yin Long codename, and Yin Long had died for Xu Yun, Qian Feng didn’t dare to mention the Yin Long t.i.tle, afraid that Xu Yun would remember their lost brother in the past.
Qian Feng was very clear that Xu Yun had left Dragon Fury because he had no way of calming the inner demons caused by Yin Long’s death. Often when Xu Yun’s inner demons had broken out, he would go into isolation, and the only one who could make him yield was one person – w.a.n.g Yi.
“Yin Long right?” Xu Yun squinted a smile, calmly speaking.
Qian Feng was surprised. He still remembered that the last time someone mentioned Yin Long, Xu Yun’s inner demons erupted violently and he nearly committed an irreparable mistake. If it wasn’t for that event, he wouldn’t have left Dragon Fury and come to this place.
Fan Shuang’er’s brow hadn’t slackened, and did not deny. “That’s right, I am Yin Long.”
Xu Yun lightly laughed. Ever since that one battle with Crimson Scorpion, the inner demons erupting out hadn’t destroyed him, and even helped him break through the mental state. Now he already wasn’t who he was a year ago, and wouldn’t explode because of what happened to Yin Long.
“Don’t talk out of turn!” Qian Feng turned his head angrily at Fan Shuang’er.
Fan Shuang’er froze, completely not understanding why.
“It’s alright. I’m fine now.” Xu Yun squinted a smile. “Let’s go, since she’s also someone from Dragon Fury, then definitely she wouldn’t not drink right? Let’s go together.”
Fan Shuang’er frowned her brow. Why was this legendary captain just like Qing Long? She couldn’t stand men who drank.
Qian Feng had dreamt of this day who knows how many times. With excitement all over his face he said, “Go! Boss, I’ve really missed you, today if we aren’t drunk, we’re not leaving!”
“Qing Long.” Fan Shuang’er suddenly reminded, “Don’t forget what we came out here to do!”
Qing Long was a bit unhappy, then loudly but weakly arguing he said, “Of course I know, but now Boss wants me to accompany him to drink, how can I not listen to his order?”
Fan Shuang’er coldly scoffed. “Qian Feng, you’d best figure out what is an order! I only know that this time the person who arranged the mission is Instructor Shadow Dragon!”
“F*ck him!” Qian Feng spat. “If it weren’t for Boss leaving, then in his whole life he couldn’t become the Instructor of Dragon Fury!”
Xu Yun had a squinty smile. Was that to say in this whole year, that guy Shadow Dragon still had no way of convincing the crowd?
“I’m telling you, Fan Shuang’er, no matter if you’re a rookie, Dragon Fury’s Boss is forever Flame Dragon, even if he in fact left!” Qian Feng spraying fumes, “But, as long as he’s still alive, no one has what it takes to command this daddy!”
Fan Shuang’er hadn’t thought that Qian Feng would be so unreasonable, and her face became red, “You’re just loudly spouting nonsense! All you say is that he is your one boss, but he already isn’t in Dragon Fury! You have no obligation to listen to him. This my last time reminding you, we have a mission and didn’t come here for vacation!”
Qian Feng was as stubborn as if he ate weights and already steeled his heart. Even if Fan Shuang’er went back and wrote a report that could make him sit in the detention room for a month, he still wouldn’t miss the chance to go with Xu Yun to drink. He was too curious about why his Boss would come to a place like HeDong City.
He believed that none of the brothers in Dragon Fury would miss this chance. Hey, Qian Feng had to have a picture of him clinking gla.s.ses with the Boss, and then have the group of guys envy it.
“You guys came for Crimson Scorpion right.” Xu Yun looked at Fan Shuang’er and lightly said, “I crossed fists with him.”
Fan Shuang’er instantly became stunned, and incredulously looked at Xu Yun.
Qing Long Qian Feng quickly put away that sloppy expression just now, and frowned. “Where is he?”
Xu Yun cut to the chase. “Come with me and drink happily, and I’ll tell you both.”
Qian Feng said with a knowing smile, “Alright! We have to accompany you!”
“How about it, for the mission, want to go?” Xu Yun looked at the serious Fan Shuang’er. With a bit of a provocative tone he said, “Even though you’ve inherited Yin Long’s t.i.tle, but you haven’t inherited any of Yin Long’s unruliness and are actually so obedient? Hehe, back then that b.a.s.t.a.r.d Yin Long wouldn’t even listen to daddy here. If people in Dragon Fury don’t have a bit of their own tempers, then it really is unfitting to be called Dragon Fury.”
Fan Shuang’er clenched her teeth. “Of course I’ll go!”
She wasn’t too a.s.sured in Qian Feng going by himself. What if these two drunkards drank themselves stupid? She still followed her own decision, that she was only going with them to get information about Crimson Scorpion and absolutely not to go drink.
Within the Dragon Fury Special Combat Unit, drinking on an external mission was a serious disciplinary offense and Fan Shuang’er deeply believed in this without any doubt.
And also what she didn’t know was, in those days, this Instructor Flame Dragon of the Dragon Fury Special Combat Unit, that because of the rules he created himself, each time he would be in detention because he violated his own rules.
Xu Yun really regretted not abolishing these rules after he left Dragon Fury. He felt that such inhumane rules would definitely be reviled by successors.
