Chapter 118: The Extremely Strengthened Aphasic

Yuan Coral spent an hour completing Chu Danqing's instructions.

Chu Danqing obtained two freshly baked longevity elixirs.

The effect was simple and unadorned: it just restored HP and mana.

However, the restoration process would cause the body to produce corresponding sensations.

As for the effect of immortality? Naturally, there was none.

In fact, Emperor Taichang had no way to confirm whether he was immortal.

"Lord Chu, does this count as the crime of deceiving the Emperor?" Zhuo Bufan, who was about to go out and intended to send the Red Pill to Emperor Taichang overnight, asked hesitantly.

Chu Danqing turned his head and looked at them suspiciously: "Are you bored and want to test the bond between you and your nine clans?"

"At worst, I'll take Da Bao and run; your Zhuo family, Yuan Family Village, and Canluo Sect don't have legs."

Since it's already like this, why hesitate? It's definitely deceiving the Emperor.

Chu Danqing had no awe for imperial power, so naturally, he didn't care.

"Even if you are not executed, you will be exiled."

"It's fine, why sell yourself out?" Chu Danqing said speechlessly.

There were only a few people here; if you don't say it and I don't say it, who could know the truth?

Everyone felt it was very reasonable after being told by Chu Danqing; everyone was a grasshopper on the same rope.

After saying this, Chu Danqing left the Zhuo mansion and rushed to the Imperial Palace.

Chu Danqing wasn't just rushing to send medicine; he wanted to use this opportunity to seize power and complete the trial mission.

If he had simply obtained the "longevity elixir" from the Imperial Hospital, it wouldn't have been easy to operate.

He only needed to slightly change the order, and the nature of the whole thing would change.

For example, he had planned to go to the Imperial Hospital to investigate tomorrow, but he received news overnight that Sushen spies had stolen it first.

Thanks to the intelligence he received, he mobilized troops overnight to pursue and capture them, and finally successfully retrieved the "longevity elixir."

Next, Chu Danqing didn't need to say anything; Emperor Taichang would naturally understand the consequences.

He would then take advantage of the situation and "obtain" from the surviving lamas that there were not only high officials colluding with Sushen in the capital, but also spy dens passing information to the outside in the capital.

The rest was just the general trend being in his favor.

Li Wanwu? He had to consider the problem of his own dereliction of duty first; where would he have the mind to block Chu Danqing's actions?

After completing the trial mission and getting the return qualification, he would kill Li Wanwu after squeezing him dry; if he could see the sun the next day, it would be considered that Guo Ming's sword was too dull.

On the way, Da Bao suddenly acted and pulled Chu Danqing over.

He narrowly dodged the attack and retreated several meters back.

It was a gloomy gas the size of a basin, which exploded when it landed on the ground.

Not far away, a teenager carrying a huge coffin jumped down from a high building.

After seeing the other party, Chu Danqing recognized who it was.

It was exactly the teenage Dimensional Apostle who had played the pig to eat the tiger and pitted people before.

"This counts as our third meeting, right?" The teenager introduced himself very sunnily: "You can call me Aphasic."

"Silent Poem." Chu Danqing reported his "vest" and asked: "So, you are mixing with Li Wanwu now?"

The Qiutan Party was a mud bodhisattva crossing the river, unable to protect itself, and Prince Fu was taking his wife and children to guard the tomb.

And the Investigative Bureau happened to be related to the Red Pill, so the origin of this Dimensional Apostle who called himself Aphasic could be imagined.

Of course, it could also be the Sushen camp, but no matter which one it was, he had to be solved tonight.

"Who I mix with doesn't matter; what matters is that you turn back now and give up tracking the Red Pill." Aphasic said, and the coffin behind him cracked open a seam with a "click": "It's good for everyone."

Gloomy gas emerged and wrapped around his whole body in an instant.

When he looked up, Da Bao activated the Rending Claws and had already grabbed towards him.

On the spot, he tore a huge crack in the gloomy gas that wrapped around him.

Facing this change, Aphasic didn't panic; a human face appeared in the gloomy gas and let out a sharp whistle.

Da Bao's figure paused involuntarily, and the blood rage power was seen to be dissipating.

"Kill the one who carries the shrine." Aphasic's voice entered Da Bao's ears like a ghost.

Da Bao immediately turned around and aimed his target at Chu Danqing, but before he could take a step, he broke free from the control and slapped Aphasic's gloomy gas with a backhand.

The Gold Spirit Body Control and Gold Spirit Spirit Seal of the Five Elements Spirit Beast Scripture provided Da Bao with a total of 60 points of negative status resistance.

At the same time, the remaining summoned creatures were also summoned by Chu Danqing.

"Zhang Cai was controlled by you; it seems you are quite valued in the Investigative Bureau." Chu Danqing saw this scene and also completed the last piece of the puzzle of the Tingji case.

Unfortunately, it was of no use, because they had already completed the victory settlement.

Aphasic didn't care about these at all; the gloomy gas turned into hideous armor and covered his body.

He waved his gloomy long knife and fought with Da Bao and the summoned creatures.

The result was naturally Aphasic retreating steadily.

Chu Danqing's set of summoning skills wasn't just for show.

Sacrificing his own combat power and consuming a large amount of resources, if he couldn't beat an apostle of the same level, the summoning system would have long since gone extinct.

Chu Danqing took advantage of this opportunity to use Spirit Sight on Aphasic to obtain data.

【Reserve-tier Dimensional Apostle】

【Attributes】

【HP: 72%】

【Death Qi: 323】

【Strength: 5】

【Agility: 5】

【Constitution: 5】

【Spirit:???】

【Perception: 5】

【Skills】

【Corpse Dao Burial Coffin Scripture (Inheritance) LV. MAX】

【Soul Confusion Technique (Active) LV. MAX】

【Death Qi Entanglement (Passive) LV. 10】

【Ghost Qi Refining Spirit (Passive) LV. 7】

【Basic Ranged Combat LV. MAX】

【Basic Close Combat LV. MAX】

When Chu Danqing saw the other party's attribute panel, he only felt that this guy was really powerful.

He actually only improved Spirit and didn't improve other attributes.

And he hadn't even undergone the rank assessment to let his Spirit reach more than 10 points; it should be the increase of the skill called Ghost Qi Refining Spirit.

This is reality, not a game; a person is a complete whole, and the five-dimensional attributes cannot be min-maxed as extremely as in a game.

Perhaps it is related to the inherited skills the opponent obtained, such as converting strength, agility, constitution, and perception checks into spirit checks, and so on.

Having been glanced at by Chu Danqing, the Aphasic immediately condensed the gloomy death energy into a spear and threw it toward him.

The thorny vines whipped out, blocking the spear of death energy.

It was blocked, but the thorny vines also shattered because they could not withstand the force.

"Time is about up." As soon as Chu Danqing finished speaking, hurried footsteps came one after another.

The former Emperor passed away yesterday, and the new Emperor ascended the throne today.

Naturally, there were many patrolling soldiers, and the commotion of their battle here certainly wouldn't be small.

After Chu Danqing said this, the Aphasic wanted to flee.

"The Imperial Yulin General and the Commander of the Imperial Guards are here! Quickly join me in capturing these Shushen thieves!" Chu Danqing shouted immediately, directly pinning the label of Shushen people on the Aphasic.

Seeing this, the Aphasic pulled open the coffin he was carrying on his back completely.

Even more surging death energy spread out, forming a large area of fog.

【You have received 1 point of death energy erosion damage, offset by 1 point of damage from the shield】

【You have received 2 points.】

【You】

The combat log scrolled rapidly; the damage value from the death energy erosion soared crazily, skyrocketing from the initial 1 point to 10 points without stopping.

Fortunately, the shield effect brought by the Five Elements Spirit Flags was very powerful, and with Chu Danqing injecting mana to replenish it, there was no need to worry about his own life safety at all.

The death energy fog dissipated after about ten seconds.

The Aphasic's head was torn off directly by Da Bao, while his right scapula and most of his body were torn to shreds by the Tiger.

His right chest was pierced through by the Heart Demon, and his heart was ruptured.

It was the Aphasic's death that caused the death energy fog to dissipate.

The cause of death was that the death energy fog triggered the Berserk and Fearless states because Da Bao's HP was too low, which not only increased his attributes but also significantly increased his resistance.

The sudden increase in strength caught the Aphasic off guard, which is how he was killed.

Fortunately, Da Bao used the lifesteal effect brought by the Bloodthirsty Pursuit from his final hook attack to pull his HP back above 30%, ending the Berserk state.

Otherwise, he would have had to start an indiscriminate attack.

Chu Danqing took out two steamers of medicinal steamed buns for Da Bao to eat.

Unfortunately, the Aphasic's coffin completely disintegrated into scrap wood.

Clearly, the price for the large-scale death energy fog was this piece of equipment; otherwise, if it had fallen into Chu Danqing's hands, it could have been sold for a tidy sum.

The Aphasic was making a desperate last stand; otherwise, once Da Bao, the summoned objects, and the capital soldiers completed their encirclement, it would have been his death day.

It was just that he still underestimated Da Bao's strength after going Berserk, and on top of that, extreme development meant he was just a glass cannon.

Otherwise, it would have taken at least three to five minutes of kiting to kill the opponent.

With single-attribute development at the same stage, if the opponent had been able to withstand the combined attack of Da Bao, the summoned objects, and the capital soldiers, they would have long since moved past the Reserve Rank.

"Lord Chu, are you alright?" The City Defense official following the patrol recognized Chu Danqing and rushed over to greet him.

It was mainly because they had arrived late; not only did they miss out on the credit, but they also watched their superior get assassinated.

If Chu Danqing were petty, he would have a hundred ways to target them.

"I'm fine. Quickly escort me into the palace; I have urgent matters to report to His Majesty." Chu Danqing waved his hand and said immediately.

"Yes, Lord Chu!" This City Defense official felt a weight lift from his heart; with Chu Danqing's attitude, it was clear he wasn't taking their late arrival to heart.

The City Defense official immediately arranged for personnel to provide an escort.

Before leaving, Chu Danqing added a reminder: "This person is a Shushen thief; tell all the soldiers to be alert."

These words made the City Defense official's heart sink; what kind of sin had he committed to run into such unlucky events?

Arriving at the palace and driving straight in, Chu Danqing was already the Commander of the Imperial Guards and had the authority to enter and exit the palace.

He met the resting Emperor Taichang immediately.

Hearing that Chu Danqing had found the elixir of immortality, Emperor Taichang came to receive him wearing only his sleeping robe, fearing that something might go wrong.

"Your Majesty, I have not failed the mission; I found the elixir of immortality overnight." As soon as they met, Chu Danqing opened his mouth and pulled two tightly wrapped red pills from his pocket.
