Dimension Paradise, I am a summoning apostle

Chapter 579 The White Wolf Blocks the Way, the Stronghold King Displays His Ferocity

The two rode mules, while Chai Jungui examined a very rudimentary geomantic map.

"Brother, I've led you the wrong way," Chai Jungui said helplessly.

This wasn't his first time traveling far from home, but it was indeed his first time going to Shanzhou.

In ancient times, there was no navigation, and maps were rudimentary and even contained errors and omissions.

Taking the wrong turn is not uncommon.

"Shall we turn back?" Chu Danqing asked again.

He didn't even know where Shanzhou was.

After saying that, he added, "If I get lost, I can ride the clouds."

Upon hearing this, Chai Jungui was also shocked: "Riding the clouds?!"

"Yes, I'm not skilled enough, and I might fall off the cloud," Chu Danqing said honestly.

"Then let's turn back." Chai Jungui didn't want to fall from such a height; he'd be smashed into a pulp.

With that, the two men made the mule turn around.

After walking about two miles back, I heard rustling sounds coming from the woods.

Then several bandits armed with knives and guns rushed out and blocked their way.

"You two, leave a toll, and we'll let you pass," the leader of the bandits shouted loudly.

"Get lost!" Chu Danqing said.

These words immediately stirred up a hornet's nest.

The bandits couldn't stand it, and the leader cursed, "You damn bastard, I'll chop you up today!"

A dozen or so bandits charged straight at them.

Da Bao was even faster; in the blink of an eye, the leading bandit was dead, reduced to a pile of minced meat.

"Leave them alive." Chu Danqing instructed Da Bao, "Jun Gui, we'll go up the mountain later and take care of this bandit stronghold while we're at it."

If we hadn't met, it would have been fine, but now that we have, we shouldn't let it go.

"How confident are you in this move, brother?" Chai Jungui asked.

"Barring any unforeseen circumstances, it's 99% likely," Chu Danqing replied.

The "unexpected event" he was referring to was naturally a deity, a god, or a spirit.

After thinking it over, Chai Jungui decided that since Chu Danqing had already said so, he would gladly accompany him.

"Since you are so kind and righteous, I will naturally oblige." Chai Jungui certainly wouldn't refuse.
The bandits were almost all killed by Da Bao, and the few survivors were terrified by Da Bao's ferocious appearance.

"Lead the way, or you'll die right now." Chu Danqing said calmly to the bandits who had been driven over by Da Bao.

One of them thought that to catch the thief, one should first catch the king, and intended to use Chu Danqing as a threat.

As soon as he made a move, Dayu smashed him into mincemeat with his vajra pestle.

Everyone quieted down after that.

As for Chai Jungui, he picked out a long sword from a pile of minced meat.

After weighing it in my hand for a moment, I kept it.

“My father taught my younger brother a few sword techniques in his early years, but he has long since abandoned them due to the need to make a living.”

"Fortunately, I have a foundation, so I can still use it to some extent." Chai Jungui said, and even brandished his sword a few times to try to regain his feel for it.

After a few moves, Chai Jungui's swordplay began to look quite professional.

However, she was a little out of breath after the dance.

Clearly, his body, still recovering from a serious illness, was not yet strong enough.

"It seems you, Jun Gui, are accomplished in both literature and martial arts," Chu Danqing praised.

"I can't compare to my elder brother." Chai Jungui smiled broadly after being praised like that.

With the bandits leading the way, the two quickly arrived at the village.

On the way, we inquired about the situation in the village and learned that there were about three hundred able-bodied men.

As for the elderly, weak, women and children, there were none.

"This village is unusual," Chu Danqing remarked, glancing around at the surrounding area.

The mountains were steep and imposing, and the fortified villages were heavily fortified.

There were several passes and bandits patrolling the area.

It doesn't look like a bandit's den at all; it looks more like a small military base hidden in the mountains.

"Who are you? State your name immediately!" A man who was keeping watch at the gate stood up abruptly.

Chu Danqing took one look and realized that this man was no ordinary person; he was actually wearing armor and carrying a gun.

It wouldn't be a big deal if they just had a gun, but the other party actually had armor.

Before he could finish speaking, Da Bao arrived first.

In just a few steps, he reached the gate and smashed the entire gate to pieces with a single claw.

This scene left everyone speechless.

Some of the bandits came to their senses and hurriedly ran back into the village to report the news.

Da Bao, on the other hand, took a steady and methodical approach, slowly making his way through the enemy lines.

A short while later, a roar was heard.

"Hey, where did this red-haired savage come from, daring to act so insolently in front of your grandpa!"

A man clad in black iron armor, riding a fine steed, charged out wielding a long spear.

Chu Danqing's expression hardened; something was off about this person.

In a flash, he saw a white wolf spirit appear above the man's head.

This is precisely the Star Lord of the Road.

Chu Danqing now understands why this village is so peculiar.

This must be an opportunity for the Crimson-Bearded Fire Dragon. And if I'm not mistaken, this man has most likely already submitted to the Crimson-Bearded Fire Dragon.

This Star Lord of the Road was protected by his primordial spirit, and even though he was just a mortal, he was able to fight Da Bao to a standstill.

"This man is skilled in martial arts; he's actually on par with Da Bao." Chai Jungui was also surprised to see this.

He had witnessed Da Bao's martial arts skills firsthand when he was at the foot of the mountain.

The dozen or so bandits were no match for Da Bao; if Chu Danqing hadn't demanded they be taken alive, none of them would have survived.

As they were talking, the man wielded his spear with the movements of a wolf kissing a ghost, and with one thrust, he pierced through Da Bao's shield and stabbed him directly in the shoulder.

The injury not only failed to scare Da Bao away, but instead provoked his ferocity.

He went even crazier, immediately resorting to a fight where he risked injury to save his own life, and with a single blow, he managed to smash the head off the man's prized horse while enduring the man's spear.

With his beloved horse dead, the man was filled with rage. When Lu Xingjun's primordial spirit appeared, it actually suppressed Da Bao fiercely.

"What exactly is that???" Chai Jungui's eyes widened.

This time, Lu Xingjun's primordial spirit was not only visible to Chu Danqing, but to everyone.

Chu Danqing frowned; there was actually a second stage.

He thought the primordial spirit was just a primordial spirit, but he never expected it could actually manifest and be seen by people, and even be used as a buff.

Could there be a three-stage or four-stage process?

It's safe to say that this is indeed an SS-level rank promotion assessment with increased difficulty.

At first glance, it seems like everyone is an ordinary person, but that's just the tip of the iceberg.

"Brother, Da Bao is about to lose, I'm going to help him!" Chai Jungui didn't care about anything else, and in a moment of impulse, he rode his mule and rushed over with his sword.

"No, can you even fight? You're going to do it???" Before Chu Danqing could react, Chai Jungui had already charged forward.

The coiled azure dragon above the other's head appeared and disappeared, seemingly wanting to reveal itself as well.

However, due to his injuries, he was unable to enter the second stage and could only be seen by fortune tellers and the like in the first stage.

Chai Jungui dismounted from the mule, sword in hand, and used the sword to shield Da Bao from a bullet.

"You scoundrel, don't be so arrogant!" With that, Chai Jungui swung his sword and slashed at the other man.

His family's sword techniques were also extraordinary; he saved Da Bao from danger in just a few strikes.

Of course, the credit goes more to the Azure Dragon of the Panmu.

The Azure Dragon of Panmu used its broken claws and teeth to force the Star Lord of the Road back.

Then, the Azure Dragon coiled around and firmly restrained the Star Lord in the way.

At the same time, as if divinely inspired, Chai Jungui used his longsword to knock the man's spear away.

Not only did he break through the spear with a single sword, but he also held a sword to the opponent's throat and captured him alive.

Seeing this scene, Chu Danqing felt no joy; instead, her heart sank even further.

This is the worst possible outcome.

The mutual restraint between the primordial spirits is too severe, almost like fatalism.

The man who possessed the power of the Star Lord was highly skilled in martial arts, but what happened? He was captured alive by Chai Jungui, an umbrella seller who had neglected his swordsmanship.

If the false king is like this, how outrageous must the Red-Bearded Fire Dragon, the true Son of Heaven, be?
He didn't think the crippled Azure Dragon could compare to the enhanced Crimson-Bearded Fire Dragon.

"Put down your weapons and surrender, or you will be spared!" Chai Jungui shouted immediately.

The idea is good, but he is still too young and cannot be intimidated at all.

Not to mention they were a bunch of bandits.

Without hesitation, the second-in-command ordered the arrows to be fired.

This scene terrified Chai Jungui.

However, the next moment, Dayu and Dahui activated their defensive and blocking barriers.

All the arrows bounced back, carrying a sense of awe.

In an instant, countless bandits in the village were killed or wounded.

"Big brother is incredibly powerful." Chai Jungui said with delight upon seeing this.

He thought he was going to die here.

At the same time, Da Gu's mournful chanting had been completed, and in an instant, most of the bandit stronghold was razed to the ground.

The captured man's eyes widened in horror at the sight.

"I...I'm willing to surrender." The man swallowed hard, finally suppressing his hatred.

This kind of magic is beyond his ability to resist.

Chu Danqing frowned. This was still the situation of the White Wolf in Qinglong Town, even though Lu Xingjun had regressed to the first stage.

"Brother, what do you think?" Chai Jungui asked hurriedly.

He felt that this was a talented person, and it was a pity that he was a bandit. It would be better if he could follow Chu Danqing.

However, Chu Danqing knew that neither he nor Chai Jungui could control this person.

Once the Azure Dragon of the Panmu lets go, this person will surely rebel.

But he couldn't say it directly, so he could only say, "Alright, go and settle the people in the village."

"If you have even the slightest ulterior motive, don't blame me for being ruthless."

Upon hearing Chu Danqing's warning, the man readily agreed.

"Brother, this person is extraordinary, why are we so wary of him?" Chai Jungui asked after the others left.

Chu Danqing then said, "That white wolf is his primordial spirit, a descendant of a star lord from the upper realm."

"In terms of background and origin, do you think the two of us can suppress a Star Lord? Or do you or I have any ability to make this person serve us?"

Upon hearing this, Chai Jungui's face showed shock, which then turned to confusion: "Keke, a star lord from the upper realm, has descended to the mortal world. Why has she become an outlaw? How can she be so shameless?"

"Perhaps... he's waiting for his true love," Chu Danqing said casually.

Upon hearing this, Chai Jungui's mind immediately became active, and he stared intently at Chu Danqing.
