Chapter 272

Looking at the group of people protecting him in front, Chu Danqing couldn't help but twitch the corner of his eye.

He didn't expect that his summoning-type apostle would one day become the tall one among the short ones.

Among the people on his side present, besides Tang Ziwei, Chu Danqing had the highest attributes and the strongest strength.

Those who could participate in the battle were Tang Ziwei, Yun Shan, and a few men from the Yun Mansion.

As for the female family members, they did indeed possess spirit beasts, but it didn't mean that having spirit beasts meant they could fight.

Not all spirit beasts possessed combat power; the vast majority of spirit beasts were used to assist in life and production, not for killing.

The Anyong Dynasty wasn't some dark forest; how could everyone think about using spirit beasts for fighting and killing?

If that were really the case, there would have been no order long ago.

And without sufficient production activities, how could they support a huge dynasty system?

Tan Jin also noticed Chu Danqing's behavior; he immediately wanted to recall his Dragon-Blood Tiger and prepare to continue attacking Sun Dashou.

It was just that for a moment, the Dragon-Blood Tiger simply couldn't get rid of Da Bao.

And the strength of the Pure Yang Heavenly General and the Taiyin Mysterious Maiden was extremely powerful; combined with the Jin Gang Warriors, they managed to turn the disadvantage into an advantage.

"Prince Ning will arrive in at most half a quarter of an hour; when the one hundred thousand-strong army arrives, you will all be reduced to ashes."

"Why bother to be buried with this fake emperor?"

"You only need to hand over the fake emperor, and I will pretend I have never seen you all; how about that?" Tan Jin planned to change his approach.

Otherwise, if he continued, he would really be beaten to death by the other party.

The strength of the Pure Yang Heavenly General and the Taiyin Mysterious Maiden was too strong—so strong that it made Tan Jin feel terrified.

He couldn't quite understand why a nobody would possess such powerful divine-path spirit beasts, and there were two of them at once.

He was able to possess such powerful strength because, besides a special Purple Mansion, he also had enough resources, which allowed the Dragon-Blood Tiger to possess this kind of power.

Even if the other party also possessed a special Purple Mansion, how could they compare to him at this age?

However, these were not important; what was important was achieving his goal.

Yet Chu Danqing didn't speak, only blindly letting Da Gu chant the "Sorrowful Returning Wind."

Tan Jin also noticed this; he indeed didn't know the power of the "Sorrowful Returning Wind," but he could vaguely sense the threat.

"Join forces to break out and kill the bone-book spirit beast in the other party's hands first," Tan Jin decided decisively.

However, the next moment, a spell from the Taiyin Mysterious Maiden came toward his face.

A soft white light appeared on his body to form protection, but it also blew him away directly, and the white light protection shattered instantly.

He scrambled up, and a spirit treasure he used for life-saving was damaged at the same time.

If it weren't for this precious spirit treasure protecting him, he would have died without a doubt from that spell just now.

However, even with the spirit treasure protecting him, he only felt that his internal organs were burning.

The spell was blocked, but the impact just now had also injured him.

This kind of pain made Tan Jin's eyes split.

From the time he became the Crown Prince's attendant to the Eight Tiger Eunuchs of today, when had he ever received this kind of treatment?

Although he was a servant, he didn't have to do dirty or tiring work, so he was naturally living in luxury.

"Bastard, a mere, a mere nobody, dares to hurt me." Tan Jin was in so much pain that he spoke incoherently.

"From the perspective of identity, you, a rebel who wants to kill the Emperor, are not as good as a nobody like me," Chu Danqing complained.

A nobody was at least a positive identity; a regicide rebel was probably not as good as him.

Unless Prince Ning won, but even if he won, it had nothing to do with Tan Jin.

Prince Ning might not necessarily dare to accept the infamy of regicide; Tan Jin could still have room to retire if captured alive, but if he really killed Sun Dashou, he would definitely be used as a scapegoat.

Being scolded by Chu Danqing, Tan Jin also reacted.

His identity and privileges came from imperial power; unfortunately, he was currently on the opposite side of imperial power.

Even the Anyong Emperor was being protected behind the other party.

Fortunately, his skin was thick enough; it was just that the long-lost physical pain caused by living in luxury made him lose his composure.

"Forget it, why am I saying this to you?" Chu Danqing felt that he had indeed talked too much.

However, the reason he talked too much was because Da Gu's "Sorrowful Returning Wind" chant was completed.

Da Bao had the most experience, so it was the first to notice the "Sorrowful Returning Wind."

It was mainly because it was also familiar with Da Gu and understood that Da Gu would definitely help it solve the enemy first.

So without the slightest hesitation, it turned around and stopped entangled with the Dragon-Blood Tiger, running back happily.

Everyone hadn't seen the power of the "Sorrowful Returning Wind," so they were a bit puzzled when they saw Da Bao suddenly running away.

Following closely behind were naturally the Pure Yang Heavenly General, the Taiyin Mysterious Maiden, and the Jin Gang Warriors; after determining the target of the "Sorrowful Returning Wind," they accurately calculated the range.

Anyone within the range was retreating, and Tang Ziwei, the Yun Mansion men, and others were all forcibly dragged away from the damage range.

No one wanted to try what it was like for Da Gu's "Sorrowful Returning Wind" to land on themselves.

Even the Pure Yang Heavenly General was the same.

Seeing this appearance, everyone present realized something.

Until the "Sorrowful Returning Wind" landed on the Dragon-Blood Tiger, the originally fierce Dragon-Blood Tiger became a puddle of blood mist under the eyes of everyone.

But this was just the beginning; the area damage expanded in an instant. Except for the tiger-type spirit beasts of the Eight Tiger Eunuchs that withstood the damage, the rest of the rebel army and spirit beasts simply couldn't resist the two effects and four damages.

Just when everyone thought it was over, the combo effect took effect.

This time, the target locked was the owner of the Dragon-Blood Tiger, which was Tan Jin, who had escaped a disaster but was still dying.

The other party was worthy of being trusted by the Anyong Emperor; the Purple Mansion backlash from the death of the spirit beast plus the area damage of the "Sorrowful Returning Wind" couldn't take his life.

As for the other seven eunuchs, their state was slightly better; after all, their spirit beasts didn't die, so they didn't suffer from the Purple Mansion backlash.

It was just that their family wealth wasn't as good as Tan Jin's, so their protective spirit treasures were worse.

"No!!!" Tan Jin weakly raised his head; when he saw the "Sorrowful Returning Wind" that instantly killed the Dragon-Blood Tiger coming toward him, he let out an unwilling roar.

Everything he did was to ensure he could survive, but now everything had become bubbles and was popped.

The "Sorrowful Returning Wind" landed on his body, and the severe pain instantly filled his limbs and bones.

Fortunately, it only hurt for a moment before he died.

Subsequently, the area damage swallowed the remaining surviving rebel army once again.

【Mission completed, you obtained: Paradise Points × 10000, Attribute Points +4】

The Eight Tiger Eunuchs died, and the trial mission was completed.

However, things were not finished yet; a new trial mission and side quest were released simultaneously.

——

"Brother Chu, the military disaster is a great misfortune; Prince Ning's army..." Yang Qianyuan's expression changed suddenly; large dark clouds appeared in the sky in the distance.

Those dark clouds were actually not clouds, but the flying spirit beasts of Prince Ning's army.

Not only in the air, but on the ground, one could also vaguely see a huge torrent approaching.

It must have been that the Eight Tiger Eunuchs had passed the intelligence that the Anyong Emperor Yang Qianzheng had contacted them to Prince Ning beforehand, combined with the importance of Li Fengjie, the girl born at the Yin time in Meilong Town.

Prince Ning led his army directly toward them.

Seeing this, Chu Danqing's expression also became serious.

"I'll let the Heavenly General, the Mysterious Maiden, and the Warriors protect you and leave first; Da Bao and I will cover the rear," Chu Danqing said, directly transforming the Eight-Steed Dragon-Climbing Chariot from its talisman form to its chariot form.

The eight dragon horses stepped on clouds and wind, dragging the chariot as it appeared before everyone's eyes.

"It's too late; get on the carriage quickly," Chu Danqing said immediately.

"No, Brother Chu, if we go, we go together," Yang Qianyuan said without hesitation: "How can the troops of the Bear-Assist Scripture block a one hundred thousand-strong army?"

The eyes of Yang Qianzheng and Li Fengjie looking at Chu Danqing were also full of worry.

True feelings are revealed in times of trouble; Chu Danqing covering the rear for them naturally meant the friendship was heavy.

"Don't worry, I have my own grasp; this time, I'm not inviting the Bear-Assist Scripture," Chu Danqing said, grabbing Yang Qianyuan and throwing him onto the chariot: "I never fight a battle without a grasp."

After finishing, he threw Yang Qianzheng and Li Fengjie onto the chariot and said to Tang Ziwei: "Take good care of them."

Tang Ziwei nodded with a firm look and just replied "Good."

Seeing this, the people of the Yun Mansion consciously got on the chariot.

The Jin Gang Huangjin Lishi who had once been the charioteer and armored soldier sat at the front of the car, and the remaining two, who had once been the bow-wielding armored soldier and the weapon-stopping armored soldier, also followed on the left and right.

The dragon horses stepped on clouds and wind, dragging the chariot as it took off; the Pure Yang Heavenly General stood at the front of the chariot, the Taiyin Mysterious Maiden stood on the canopy, and the remaining Jin Gang Warriors flew up together, guarding the chariot as they left.

The reason Chu Danqing chose to send people away was that triggering two S-Rank difficulty missions at once meant he had to be cautious.

Especially the trial mission; at first glance, it was to ensure they weren't captured alive, and he also had to ensure their life safety.

Chu Danqing didn't have the confidence to guarantee the two of them under the quantity of one hundred thousand troops.

Although he could capture the leader first to catch the thieves, he didn't want to take 40,000 Paradise Points, 2 attribute points, and an Exemplary-tier spirit beast chart as a risk.

"Da Bao, are you afraid?" Chu Danqing asked Da Bao.

Da Bao shook its head and said: "Not afraid, have, Little Chu, here."

"Right, with me here, don't be afraid," Chu Danqing smiled and immediately activated the Mountain-River Alliance, summoning Guo Ming to enter.

【You summoned Alliance Object No. 1, this time consuming Paradise Points × 1580】

【Alliance object has responded】

【Alliance object summoning cognition rationalization modification completed】

Chu Danqing immediately opened his mouth: "Brother Guo, this time it's a tough battle; our brothers have to hold off a one hundred thousand-strong army, and I have to rely on you to take the enemy general's head from among the ten thousand troops."

Guo Ming gazed at the army, holding the Su Nu Sword, with four flying swords circling around him: "A small matter, just like reaching into a bag to take something."
