Chapter 127: Peerless Knight and Dual Wielding
No one paid any attention to Bu Changning anymore. Chen Guan and the other two went to Shizhang to have their meal and then headed to the secret realm of Beimang Mountain.

"Originally, there were ten of us, and we could charge in battle formation and break through the siege of the Yin Soldiers summoned by the Ghost Emperor. Now, there are only three of us left. It may be difficult to break through the siege of the Yin Soldiers and fight the Ghost Emperor at the same time. Do you want me to have a good talk with the other teammates? They should understand that if they fail to complete the mission, they will not be able to survive either." Team Leader said.

"No need. Everyone has their own ambitions. It's human nature that they don't dare to offend the Xiu family." Chen Guan said.

"That's not right. Why should we do all the dirty work, risk our lives on the mission, and then they share the joy when we succeed? Especially that traitor Bu Changning. If we complete the mission now, he, as the deputy captain, will be able to get a lot of points, more than me and the team leader." An Yiqi was very unhappy.

"Who said we have to complete the mission?" Chen Guan said lightly, leaving both the team leader and An Yiqi stunned.

"If you don't complete the task, you will lose your position as captain, and our points will be deducted into negative numbers. Isn't that bad?" An Yiqi looked at Chen Guan in confusion.

"The Ghost Emperor won't be killed?" Team Leader looked at Chen Guan in confusion, but he knew that Chen Guan must have his reasons for saying that.

Chen Guan smiled and said, "Of course we still have to kill the Ghost Emperor. Not only the Ghost Emperor, but also the Emperor's Ghost Eye Python and the Underworld Blood Phoenix. But who said that killing those peerless secret spirits means we have to complete the mission?"

"If we kill the peerless secret spirit but don't complete the mission, then what's the point...ah...you want to keep the mission item..." An Yiqi suddenly understood what Chen Guan meant.

"For the four gold quests, the quest items for the Millennium Ghost Emperor are the Ghost Emperor's sword and robe, the Emperor's Pulse Ghost Eye Python is its scales, the Underworld Blood Phoenix is ​​its feathers, and the Holy Horned White Deer is its antlers. These items are all extremely valuable in themselves."

Chen Guan continued calmly, "The points we earn from turning in quests are actually worth about the same as these items. However, these items are rare, while the pills we exchange for points are mass-produced and circulated. If I keep these quest items and exchange them directly for pills, I won't lose much. I might even get more and better pills."

"Isn't that how it's calculated? If we don't hand in the task, not only will we not get any points, but points will also be deducted. This is not cost-effective, and you won't be able to keep your position as captain. Isn't this even more troublesome?" An Yiqi counted on his fingers.

"I don't care about the position of team leader. As for deducting points, let them do it. Anyway, our points were already converted into pills when we handed in the missions before. What if they deduct a negative number? We don't have a rule that requires reserve team members to pay money in return, right? Or a rule that requires them to not turn in missions, right?"

"That's not the case, but our points have become negative, so we won't be able to exchange points for pills anymore."

"What does that matter? From now on, we'll just accept quests and not hand them in. Those secret spirits in random quests are all good things. Are the benefits we get from killing secret spirits not as good as those points?"

"Is this possible?" An Yiqi and the door team widened their eyes. They had never thought that this was possible.

"If this happens, our points will get worse and worse. Will we be kicked out then?" the goalkeeper worriedly asked.

"Don't worry, no one can kick me out. I'll take care of anything that happens." Chen Guan was not worried at all. Ji Nanhong would not agree to kick him out, and Xiu Yingmei from the Xiu family would not agree either.

The two most powerful forces in the Heavenly Court Army disagree, so who can drive him out?

"This plan is feasible, but can the three of us really kill the Ghost Emperor?" An Yiqi felt that it was too early to worry about those things. It was still uncertain whether they could kill the Ghost Emperor.

"Didn't your teacher teach you when you were in school? The triangle is the most stable structure. As long as the three of us work together and form an iron triangle, killing the Ghost Emperor will not be difficult." Chen Guan's words made the two look at each other in surprise.

An Yiqi secretly complained in his heart: "Is this sentence used in this way?"

"So, we need to have a clear understanding of each other. My talent is fast energy recovery, and my goal is to excel in body movement and palm techniques. I think I should have no problem taking on the Ghost Emperor alone. What about you?" Chen Guan said. Hearing this, An Yiqi and the team were stunned and for a moment forgot to answer Chen Guan.

He is not good at anything that the Heavenly Army should be good at. His body movements are useless for cavalry, his palm techniques are of very limited use, and his attack range is too short, making him unsuitable for riding combat.

The statement that he had no problem fighting the Ghost Emperor alone made the two of them look strange. Even a tough guy like Jiang Tianqing couldn't defeat the Thousand-Year Ghost Emperor, so he said that so easily.

It was the gate captain who reacted first. He smiled and said to Chen Guan, "My innate talent is Peerless Knight, which has certain bonuses for riding and mounted combat. I am good at spearmanship, swordsmanship, and bows and arrows, so it should be of some use."

"It's more than useful, it's extremely useful. You can lead us to break through the siege of the Yin Army and send us to the Ghost Emperor." Chen Guan said.

Team leader smiled bitterly and said nothing. Although he felt that it would be difficult for him to fight his way out of the army of tens of thousands of ghost soldiers alone, it was not a good idea to offend Chen Guan at this time.

Seeing the two men looking at him, An Yiqi quickly said, "My innate talent is dual wielding. My hands can wield two different weapons and techniques at the same time. It's not very useful for cavalry, and there's basically no opportunity to show it off. If I have to say what I'm good at, it should be knife skills or swordsmanship. I'm okay with dual wielding steel knives, but it doesn't have the wide attack range of a spear."

Chen Guan was a little surprised. "Your dual wielding technique is quite impressive. You can use different weapons and techniques with both hands at the same time. That means you can use two different secret techniques with both hands at the same time, which will greatly increase your combat effectiveness."

"It's not that easy. Dual wielding does make me stronger than the average person, but using two secret techniques at the same time consumes too much energy. My energy can't keep up with the consumption. What's the use of dual wielding?" An Yiqi said with a wry smile.

"Vital energy is a problem, but if you can have a powerful enough magic weapon and can use the weapon alone to counter the enemy's secret skills, then this dual wielding technique will be invincible." Chen Guan thought for a while and said.

"It's too difficult. Without the blessing of secret techniques, even with powerful weapons, speed, strength, and burst are all ineffective. It's not easy to defeat someone using secret techniques with ordinary fighting skills." An Yiqi said with a wry smile, "I was recruited into the reserve team. The instructor who recruited me had the same opinion as you. But in the end, dual wielding is really not that effective in actual combat. Or maybe my fighting talent is not enough, so it's difficult to fully utilize the true effect of dual wielding."

"I don't know what you were like before, but now you have to stand up and use your dual-wielding skills to support us. If the stool only has two legs, it will definitely not be stable. We need you to stand up and hold it up." Chen Guan said seriously.

"I'll try my best. Don't have too much hope in me." An Yiqi said with a bitter face.

"It's not just a try, but we must do it." After Chen Guan said this, he urged his horse forward without waiting for An Yiqi to refuse.

The three of them entered the secret realm of Beimang Mountain and rushed to the ancient tomb area where the Millennium Ghost Emperor was located. There, the Second Awakening Heavenly Court Army was guarding the entrances and exits. Chen Guan was able to enter only after he took out his mission pass.

Before going to the imperial tomb where the Millennium Ghost Emperor was, Chen Guan and the other two made a new plan.

"After we break into the Yin Army Legion, we must maintain the triangle formation. Once we are dispersed, it will be impossible for us to rush to the Ghost Emperor, and we may even be trapped to death." The team leader said as he explained the plan.

"Let's have a plan B. In case we get separated, we'll have a response." An Yiqi wasn't sure if he could handle it.

"There is no plan B. We all believe that you can do it. The fact that you can stand here and complete the mission with us already proves that you are capable of walking shoulder to shoulder with us. Don't bury your dual-wielding skills." After Chen Guan finished speaking, he jumped on his horse and headed towards the direction of the imperial tomb.
