Dimension Paradise, I am a summoning apostle

Chapter 365 The Crown Prince's Skull

"Snakes are just too slippery." Footsteps accompanied the sound of metal dragging on the ground.

A three-meter-tall, burly Taoist priest with a bull's head blocked their path.

Compared to the two-faced snake, he, as an ox, is a staunch supporter of the royal family.

Of course, his loyalty to the Chongde royal family stemmed from the potential for substantial benefits, rather than from any so-called loyalty to the emperor or patriotism.

Chu Danqing glanced at the other party, and then Da Bao made his move.

Seeing this, the Ox-Headed Taoist calmly raised his giant ghost-headed saber and slashed at Da Bao.

He knew he didn't need to fight desperately; all he had to do was stall the enemy.

There were more than just him and the snake Taoists in the entire palace.

When the fighting gets intense, reinforcements will arrive.

In their very first encounter, Da Bao snapped his ghost-headed dagger in half with a single claw.

Then the claws easily pierced through his chest, tearing his heart and flesh out with them.

When the Ox-Headed Taoist saw this scene, he was stunned, but fortunately, the intense pain quickly brought him back to his senses.

“You are even weaker than that snake,” Chu Danqing said softly.

He also realized one thing: the demonic cultivators were really not good at fighting.

To put it simply, the true profession of the demonic cultivators is more like that of a group of mad scientists who create demons and develop evil arts.

The fighting and killing are handled by his demon subordinates.

However, their lack of combat skills does not mean they are weak.

Even though the Ox-Headed Taoist had his heart ripped out and a large hole torn in his chest, he not only didn't die but was also completely unaffected.

The flesh and blood healed instantly, and before the healing was complete, Chu Danqing saw that the heart had already regenerated.

He casually tossed the ghost-head knife aside, and evil energy spread from the inside out, causing strange lumps to rise continuously beneath his Taoist robe.

Not good at combat? Lack of experience?
These things don't matter, as long as my attacks are fast, accurate, and powerful enough.

Then he got another ten or so slaps from Da Bao.

His claws grew more ferocious with each strike, and with a series of moves, he tore off most of the Bull-Headed Taoist's flesh on the spot.

It's worth noting that Da Bao's active skill is called Tear Claws, and the damage it inflicts is called Tear Damage.

The Ox-Headed Taoist was casting his transformation, and since the opponent didn't have any invincibility frames, he naturally wanted to strike while the iron was hot.

By the time the other demonic cultivators arrived, the Ox-Headed Taoist had already been torn apart by Da Bao, leaving only his skeleton.

When the group of demonic Taoists saw the remains of the Ox-Headed Taoist, the expressions on their faces all changed.

They were in a terrible state of mind; among their group, the Ox-Headed Taoist was the most physically powerful.

However, they were all reduced to bones, and they rushed forward because they felt they had a chance of winning.

But the problem is, who can guarantee they won't die at the hands of their opponent before winning?

Therefore, they chose the safest approach.

The sound of synchronized footsteps grew louder as they approached, and the Imperial Guards, clad in black armor, were summoned by their combined sorcery.

Yeah, if they can't beat them, they'll definitely call for backup.

Compared to these evil Taoists, the Imperial Guards' strength should not be underestimated.

Chu Danqing remained completely oblivious. Behind Da Bao, the Pure Yang Heavenly Generals and Vajra Warriors formed a battle formation and engaged the Imperial Guards in combat.

Although the Imperial Guards were numerous, they were no match for them.

Not only did they fail to stop Chu Danqing's advance, but they were also forced to retreat in defeat.

Fortunately, these Imperial Guards were not human, but demons created from former Imperial Guards.

Furthermore, it still lacks a spiritual self and only acts according to the logic left in its body by the evil magic.

They can definitely understand the instructions, but to what extent they can understand them depends on the continued optimization by the demonic cultivators.

"A bunch of useless trash! So many people were defeated by just one..." When a young man dressed in a dragon robe arrived, he was about to reprimand him, but then he saw that there seemed to be more than one enemy.

Chu Danqing glanced at the other person, and the boy's expression changed.

"The crown prince?" Chu Danqing chuckled. "Capture him."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Pure Yang Heavenly General broke away from the formation and charged towards the location of the young man.

All the guards who blocked the way were cut to pieces.

A ferocious look appeared on the boy's face: "A mere traitor dares to look down on me?!"

Chu Danqing's dismissive attitude immediately stirred the boy's nerves.

Black dragon horns sprouted from his forehead. Although he could not use the power of the Evil Qi Imperial Vein, he was still the legitimate son of Emperor Chongde.

Therefore, it has been tainted with some of the aura and has a very high affinity for evil energy.

Furthermore, with the demonic cultivators' disregard for materials in their modifications, their strength was no less than that of the Five Pillars of the Nation.

Unfortunately, he was only the crown prince, and his father, Emperor Chongde, was a powerful and influential ruler with a very poor character.

Of course, it's also possible that Emperor Chongde deliberately raised them incorrectly.

After all, Emperor Chongde now possesses the potential for immortality, and becoming an immortal ancestor is within reach.

For him now, offspring are not necessarily a guarantee, but could also be a threat.

"I am the Crown Prince of Chongde!" the young man roared as Chunyang Tianjiang stabbed him through the heart with a sword.

This is truly a terrible sight.

Chu Danqing actually thought the other party was about to unleash their full power when they shouted it.

As a result, not only did he fail to unleash his full power, but he was also cut in half at the waist by the Pure Yang Heavenly General before he could react.

The man wasn't dead; his severed body was still writhing and showing signs of healing. Upon seeing this, the Pure Yang Heavenly General immediately raised his heavy sword and severed his head.

Then he carried the head back.

Chu Danqing looked at the head of the boy with dragon horns. The boy was not dead and looked very lively.

"The city of Tianjing has been planted with the evil imperial lineage, which is why the evil energy is so abundant."

"That's why you can survive even with just your head, and even if your remaining body is reattached, you can come back to life."

"They are truly blessed by nature," Chu Danqing couldn't help but exclaim.

However, the other person's eyes showed fear and confusion, completely unable to understand what had happened.

The whole process happened too fast, so fast that before he could even react, Chunyang Tianjiang had already brought his head to Chu Danqing.

"Now give the order to make way for me; I need to get to the Golden Palace," Chu Danqing said.

"Impossible!" Crown Prince Chongde rejected the idea without even thinking.

"I'm not discussing this with you, I'm informing you," Chu Danqing said, as Da Bao's sharp claws pierced through the severed neck.

The power of bloodlust surged into his head in an instant, and the intense pain caused Crown Prince Chongde to wail and roll his eyes uncontrollably.

The pain lasted for three seconds and then stopped.

“You can keep being stubborn, but I hope your life is even tougher than your mouth,” Chu Danqing said.

Da Bao's Blood Rage power is not for torture or interrogation, but for slaughter.

According to his estimate, Crown Prince Chongde could only last three minutes at most.

If he can last more than three minutes, then of course he can hold on.

What else can we do? We can't just tell him to let him go.

Crown Prince Chongde recovered, and his entire demeanor changed.

"Quickly, make way, make way for me!!!" Crown Prince Chongde immediately roared at the front.

Because the Imperial Guards were demons, and Crown Prince Chongde had more power than the demonic Taoists, they directly overridden the orders issued by the demonic Taoists.

All the Imperial Guards withdrew in an orderly manner, leaving only a group of bewildered Taoist priests.

Seeing that the sorcerer made no move, Crown Prince Chongde panicked.

He roared in uncontrollable rage, "Did you hear me? Get out of here!!!"

He didn't want to experience Da Bao's blood rage entering his brain again.

Not being able to die isn't a good thing either, especially when you're weak.

Seeing this, the demons all breathed a sigh of relief.

The main reason is that they were put on a pedestal. Otherwise, when they encountered Chu Danqing storming into the palace, their first thought would not have been loyalty to the emperor and serving the country, but rather self-preservation.

Even someone like the Ox-Headed Taoist would simply pretend not to know if Chu Danqing didn't choose his path and didn't cause a major commotion.

Now it's all right, Crown Prince Chongde let them go.

Whatever happens next is none of their business.

As for losing? Let's not even mention Emperor Chongde; there's another one in the Golden Palace.

This world doesn't belong to them; they have no reason to risk their lives for the Chongde Dynasty.

Those who can cultivate evil energy and become demons are not good people at all.

Even if they were all executed one by one, there would be no mistaken killings.

Those who held positions in the imperial palace, in particular, committed at least tens of thousands of atrocities.

The evil arts and demons they developed were all forms of torture for ordinary people.

"Your Highness, the Crown Prince..." A sorcerer feigned hesitation, as if trying to say something.

However, Crown Prince Chongde shouted first, "Get out!"

"Yes, yes, we'll leave right away." The sorcerer hurriedly agreed, then ran off without looking back.

With one person taking the lead, the others followed suit and ran away as well.

Chu Danqing naturally understood the thoughts of the demonic cultivators.

It can only be said that the entire Chongde Dynasty was held up by Emperor Chongde alone. Otherwise, with this group of treacherous Taoist priests and a bunch of demons with their own ulterior motives, the world would probably have turned upside down long ago.

As for Crown Prince Chongde, perhaps Emperor Chongde was truly a tiger who wouldn't eat his own cub; otherwise, given his incompetent nature, he would probably have died long ago.

"Thank you very much," Chu Danqing said politely.

This brought a forced smile to Crown Prince Chongde's face, and he said, "The matter has been accomplished. Now, would you consider releasing me?"

“Of course, but not now,” Chu Danqing continued. “We’ll talk about it when I get to the Golden Palace.”

Chu Danqing suspected that something else might still exist in the Golden Palace.

Otherwise, these evil Taoists wouldn't have been able to leave so decisively.

When he mentioned the words "Golden Palace," Crown Prince Chongde's expression turned even more unpleasant.

"I was just about to ask Your Highness who's in the Golden Palace," Chu Danqing said casually, noticing the change in the other person's expression.

Crown Prince Chongde remained silent for a long time before finally saying, "My mother."

"She took her father's place in the Golden Palace."

Chu Danqing was surprised that the other party actually used the phrase "sitting in charge".

“I don’t know what you’re going to do at the Golden Palace, but you are no match for my mother.”

"Going there will only lead to certain death."

"Put me down and leave the palace. There's still a chance for you to survive." Crown Prince Chongde wasn't doing this for Chu Danqing's sake, but for his own.
