Chapter 128: Duel? Siege!

He Yun couldn't wait for treatment and breathed his last.

It was mainly the second set of Five Elements Spirit Talismans that gave him a fatal blow when he was already severely injured.

"Under the support of a large number of Paradise Points and resources, I am becoming stronger and stronger." Chu Danqing rarely fought, but he could see the changes.

Dabao before had difficulty killing a berserk Zhang Cai, but now a top master like He Yun, who was on par with Yuan Chong, died so easily.

"No treasure chest again; it seems it's still accumulating."

"Wait, whose are these two treasure chests?" Chu Danqing suddenly discovered that there were two excellent-tier treasure chests in his storage space that he hadn't opened.

"They are Prince Fu's, and Li Wanwu's." Dabao reminded him.

Chu Danqing slapped his forehead: "I was so busy I forgot."

After killing Prince Fu and Li Wanwu and Lady Fengsheng, Chu Danqing was busy with the Imperial Mausoleum and enthronement, and after finishing, he pushed for bandit suppression and cultivation.

Mainly because there was no crisis in front of him, and Paradise Points were sufficient, plus the quality of these two treasure chests was average, so Chu Danqing didn't attach much importance to them, which led to forgetting.

If it wasn't for killing He Yun, a master, and thinking of the treasure chests, he would probably have waited until the hidden task of bandit suppression was completed before remembering.

During this period, food, clothing, housing, and transportation were guaranteed, and Chu Danqing wouldn't open the storage space if he had nothing to do.

(Note: This skill is the strongest inherited skill in this trial world)

(Note: Cannot buff basic skills)

(Note: Only for males to cultivate)

(Note: Requires castration)

Chu Danqing equipped the waist token; this piece of equipment, like the Divine Machine Camp Crossbowman Token, belonged to summoning-type equipment, and the summoned Prince's Mansion guard was likely melee, which could be used to protect himself.

As for the Taichang Martial Preparation Book, seeing that it enhanced melee and long-range, he did acknowledge it as the strongest inherited skill in this trial world.

But seeing the three notes at the back, he decisively stuffed it into the storage space.

This thing looked powerful, but it was hard to sell.

Only for males meant missing half the market, not to mention having to cut off one's 'little brother'.

There were ruthless people, but there weren't many apostles in the reserve stage of the Dimension Paradise who dared to use their own brothers as a price.

After dealing with He Yun, it was almost midnight again, and Chu Danqing had no choice but to rest first.

A good rest could put him in a better state, whether it was cultivation or learning, he could have higher efficiency.

He could not sleep, but it was better if he did.

When he woke up, a corpse was hanging from the roof.

It was killed by Dabao in the middle of the night; it was another greenwood bandit who had sneaked in to kill him.

Worried about disturbing Chu Danqing's rest, Dabao casually hung the corpse up and went to sleep.

Anyway, it was just a corpse; even if the other party could come back to life, Dabao could kill him again.

"This is giving me intensity." Chu Danqing had people handle it, and then started daily activities like cultivation and offerings.

After brushing the daily routine, he slowly went out.

He was a leader, so naturally, he didn't need to clock in, and it didn't matter if he went to the office or not.

As long as he wasn't worried about being infiltrated or hollowed out.

"Commander, the bandits have new movements."

After Chu Danqing arrived, a member of the Investigation Bureau handed him an opened letter.

"A group of bandits, really don't know life from death." Chu Danqing took the letter and glanced at it, sneering: "It seems He Yun's death last night was a great stimulus to them."

The content of the letter was that the greenwood leader Overturning River Long Wang from Mount Pingdou expressed that "Jianghu matters are settled in Jianghu," and would duel Chu Danqing in two days.

If the Overturning River Long Wang won, Chu Danqing would stop there.

And if Chu Danqing won, the Overturning River Long Wang would stretch his neck to be slaughtered and hoped Chu Danqing would let go of the greenwood heroes.

The agreed location was at the North City Gate.

"Notify people to set an ambush; as soon as this so-called Overturning River Long Wang comes out, take action directly." Chu Danqing never thought about a duel.

Just let people swarm up, wouldn't that be fine?

"Commander, the matter of the duel has already been spread by this group of bandits; the people in the capital have heard a little and are continuing to spread it. If you avoid the fight, I'm afraid it will damage your prestige." The Investigation Bureau person said helplessly.

Chu Danqing thought slightly: "Follow the vine and find the spreaders; catch them all, one by one."

As for damaging prestige? Chu Danqing didn't care at all.

Being kidnapped by mere fame and falling into a trap—if you have this kind of psychological quality, don't mix in.

Using one's own shortcomings to attack others' strengths, not using advantages but using shortcomings to fight the enemy—that's just having a problem.

"You go and release the news, saying how many casualties and how much property loss this group of greenwood bandits has caused since sneaking into the capital."

"And focus on emphasizing that they are robbers and thieves, indicating that their so-called duel is actually preparing for looting and theft." Chu Danqing said immediately.

They could use public opinion to kidnap Chu Danqing, and Chu Danqing could naturally counterattack.

Not to mention anything else, just the conditions of the Overturning River Long Wang—how could they have such a big face to let Chu Danqing give up bandit suppression regardless of winning or losing?

"Get it done within a day; no problem, right?" Chu Danqing asked.

"Before nightfall, we can cover up the greenwood bandits' duel, and before midnight, we can catch the spreaders."

"We can finish before noon tomorrow!" The Investigation Bureau person thought about it and gave Chu Danqing a specific time.

"Good, then go and do it." The time was within Chu Danqing's acceptable range.

The Investigation Bureau was quickly mobilized and started locking onto the greenwood bandits in reverse.

"I didn't expect you to climb so high; I'm curious how you did it?" A voice suddenly appeared.

The source of the sound was behind Chu Danqing; he turned his head, and Dabao pulled Chu Danqing away at the same time, looking at this person who suddenly appeared with vigilance.

The other party was a Dimension Apostle like Chu Danqing, but had extremely strong abilities in concealment, and even Dabao's perception couldn't detect the other party.

You know, even the assassin-type apostles who were good at space before, Dabao could detect.

"Luck, luck." Chu Danqing saw that the other party didn't take action immediately, so he chatted with him.

If the other party wanted to take action, he wouldn't have made a sound just now.

At the distance between him and the other party, if the other party attacked directly, Dabao wouldn't have been able to pull him away in time.

But Chu Danqing wasn't worried; he still had the Spirit Flag shield on him.

"Long Hu Alliance reserve-level member, you can call me Black Crow." The other party slowly revealed his figure; he was a man wearing a well-fitting suit and a top hat.

The gloved hand was leaning on a gentleman's cane.

"I just came back from Sushen, and the situation in the capital has changed so much that I don't recognize it." Black Crow replied, then said: "Keep your summoned object quiet."

"His killing intent makes me very uncomfortable."

Chu Danqing ignored the other party's words and asked: "And then? What do you want with me?"

"Actually, I'm not here for you; I accepted a commission from the Sushen people to kill you."

"You are worth an A-rank hidden task, and they gave me enough resources as supplies."

As soon as Black Crow's words were spoken, Dabao didn't hesitate to open the Ripping Claws, blood rage power surrounding his body, ready to take action at any time.

"Relax, big guy." Black Crow said peacefully: "If I wanted to take action, I wouldn't have come out."

"I didn't expect you to be a non-native; it seems you arrived in the capital much later than me."

"Have you ever thought about doing a big job with me?" Black Crow was seeking cooperation.

"Tell me about it." Chu Danqing didn't relax his vigilance; the other party accepted an A-rank hidden task, and failure meant deducting 20,000 Paradise Points and one random attribute.

So it was very likely to confuse him.

"Usurp the throne." Black Crow continued: "With your power, it's no problem to make the Taichang Emperor roll off his position."

"This is at least an A-rank hidden task, and I can help you."

Black Crow hadn't thought about killing Chu Danqing; it was just that he specialized in concealment and displacement, and lacked a lot in damage. Even if he struck with all his might, he could only break Chu Danqing's shield and couldn't kill him.

The price would be that he would be torn into pieces by Dabao.

A rich reward also required one to have a life to use it; when he realized he couldn't complete the task, he turned to seek cooperation.

He would lose 10,000 Paradise Points, but could get 3 more attribute points.

"Change another one." Chu Danqing refused.

Surprise appeared in Black Crow's eyes, and then he smiled: "Since you have your own plans, I won't bother you."

When the words fell, Black Crow's figure was swallowed by countless crow feathers.

When the crow feathers scattered, a black feather suddenly appeared, coming towards Chu Danqing's face.

The speed was very fast, far exceeding Dabao's reaction speed, and it landed on Chu Danqing's brow immediately.

The shield formed by the Five Elements Spirit Flag shattered immediately.

The gentleman's cane was about to hit Chu Danqing, but was grabbed by Dabao with one hand.

Black Crow's figure appeared again, and six vines climbed up, binding him tightly.

"Your attributes are not high enough, but your summoned objects and skills make up for the shortcomings. There aren't many reserve apostles who can kill you."

"Unfortunately, I am not among them." Black Crow said, took off his top hat with his other hand, and the whole person exploded, countless crow feathers blocking the line of sight.

"Hope that next time we meet, there will be an opportunity for cooperation."

Black Crow disappeared without a trace, leaving only this sentence.

Chu Danqing immediately chose to leave and was in a state of vigilance, and Dabao didn't relax at all.

With the perception of the two of them, they couldn't detect the other party at all.

The other party specialized in this way; if it were so easy to be seen through, what was the investment of the other party's resources?
