Chapter 1,290 Questioning
Two or three hundred miles away, Hu Youwei put away the magic talisman and glanced at Chimu in front of the crowd, looking worried.
Brother Duan, Brother Duan, you said what you did was not good, why did you have to run away from the battle!
This matter is taboo among the patrol!
The most likely outcome would be to be expelled from the patrol team, and the most severe outcome would be to be executed on the spot!
Of course, Hu Youwei also understood that Duan Qing's previous escape from battle might have been partly to help his team distract the enemy.
But the bad thing about this matter is that Duan Qing didn't talk to anyone in advance.
However, his superior, Akagi, is famous for being business-like and unkind!
Hu Youwei glanced at Chimu in front of the crowd and sighed secretly.
Alas, it’s difficult to do!
…
About half an hour later, Duan Qing finally caught up with Hu Youwei and his party.
Duan Qing couldn't help but feel a little surprised when he saw the crowd a few miles ahead.
Even though they were still several miles apart, Duan Qing could still clearly see that the team that was supposed to have only seven people now had one more person.
The extra person was dressed in red, and his tall and graceful figure made Duan Qing feel vaguely familiar.
Seeing the woman in red, Duan Qing was surprised, but also felt relieved.
No wonder those Sui clan members left early. It turned out to be this person's fault.
This person is one of the only five captains of the Gaoque Camp Patrol Team, and his cultivation level is at least the Dao Spirit Realm.
Facing a dignified Taoist realm master, it would be strange for those Sui clansmen not to escape.
The only thing that puzzled Duan Qing was why this person appeared.
The place where everyone was ambushed by the Sui clan was at least tens of thousands of miles away from Gaoque camp.
From the time he encountered the ambush and left the team to meeting the steady men again, it was estimated that it only took about half an hour.
In such a short period of time, even if Wuxu Star's monitoring formation discovered the spiritual fluctuations of the war, there was no reason for support to arrive so quickly.
Even a strong person in the Taoist Realm shouldn't be so fast!
At this time, the woman in red in the crowd in front seemed to notice Duan Qing's presence and glanced back inadvertently.
Noticing the actions of the woman in red, Akagi from behind immediately looked back following the gaze of the woman in red.
Upon discovering Duan Qing's figure a few miles behind him, Chimu's face suddenly darkened. He immediately stopped and turned around to stare at Duan Qing coldly.
Seeing Akagi stop, the others also stopped and looked back at Duan Qing, not daring to speak rashly. The atmosphere became a little depressing for a moment.
Soon, Duan Qing caught up with the stopped team.
Sensing the somewhat depressing atmosphere at the scene, Duan Qing sighed helplessly, vaguely guessing what he was about to encounter.
Sure enough, before Duan Qing could speak, Chimu flew forward and blocked Duan Qing.
"According to patrol law, anyone who escapes during battle will be killed without mercy!"
"You, do you have anything else to say?"
Akagi looked directly at Duan Qing with cold eyes, murderous intent appearing in his eyes.
Duan Qing's expression remained unchanged, his eyes met with Chimu's, and he said, neither humble nor arrogant, "Yes."
"According to the law of the patrol, those who run away from battle are punishable by the death penalty at the most. However, before the execution, they are not running away from the battle, but diverting the tiger away from the mountain to help the team distract the enemy."
Chimu snorted coldly, obviously not believing what Duan Qing said.
"Hmph, you said that luring the enemy is luring the enemy. Do you have any evidence?"
Duan Qing didn't panic at all, and stated his thoughts at the time in a logical and well-founded manner. He just concealed the part that he was worried that others would not be able to take action. Instead, he was confident in his own speed and wanted to use his speed to hold down the two beautiful women.
After listening to Duan Qing's explanation, Chimu's eyes were still murderous: "This is just your one-sided statement. What I want is evidence."
After saying that, Chimu looked back at Hu Youwei in the crowd.
"Hu Youwei, did this person report to you about attracting enemies?"
Hu Youwei looked bitter, remained silent for a while, and slowly shook his head: "No."
"However, my subordinates believe that Brother Duan did have the intention to attract enemies. It was just that the incident happened suddenly and there was no time to make a report."
Akagi's eyes sharpened: "This is just your speculation, not evidence."
"Hu Youwei, this person is a member of your team. You know how to deal with him."
When Hu Youwei heard this, he suddenly complained in his heart.
This Akagi is a bit too inhumane.
Even if there is no evidence that Duan Niu left the team to lure the enemy, it is a fact that he lured two immortals to the crowd.
If they hadn't lured away the two Sui clansmen, it's anyone's guess whether the team could have persisted until Lord Nanying came.
It's a good thing for you, but afterwards you want to accuse others of running away from the battlefield!
Hu Youwei cursed Chimu in his heart and didn't know how to speak.
Seeing this, Duan Qing frowned slightly and explained again: "I have memorized the patrol order by heart. If I deliberately escaped from the battle, how could I return to the team now?"
Chimu withdrew his gaze from Hu Youwei, looked at Duan Qing again, and said coldly: "Who knows if you are lucky or not."
Duan Qing frowned even more tightly, feeling a little irritated.
This person is really out of touch!
Hu Youwei said before that this person has such a personality and acts in a business-like manner, which seems to be euphemistic.
How can this Akagi be business-minded? He is simply pedantic!
After a moment of silence, Duan Qing gritted his teeth, activated the void hat, and took out the severed arm that had been stored in the void space.
This severed arm was cut off from the body of a beautiful woman with a mole, and it contained a lot of vitality. He put it into the virtual space with the intention of providing vitality to Tianleizhu.
Duan Qing has always been cautious and low-key. He didn't want to expose his broken arm to avoid unnecessary trouble, but Akagi pressed him so hard that he could only use it as evidence that he was not deserting.
"I cut this broken arm off from one of the Sui people who were chasing me. If I had wanted to desert, why would I have fought with those two!"
When Duan Qing said this, everyone gasped.
Most people, including Akagi, were quite surprised.
In fact, before this, at least half of the team had the same idea as Akagi, thinking that Duan Qing was afraid of fighting and deserted.
As for leading away the two Sui people, it was just an accident.
But now it seems that this person really wants to lead the enemy away for the team.
Just imagine, how could a person who is afraid of fighting fight with the Sui people and cut off the arm of one of them!
After being surprised, everyone felt that this matter was a bit too incredible.
This kid named Duan Niu is only in the early stage of the spiritual life realm, while the two Sui people chasing him are both in the longevity realm, which is equivalent to the spiritual phase realm of the human and demon races.
Moreover, the Sui people are far more powerful than ordinary spiritual phases. When they fought against the other four Sui people before, they almost lost their troops despite having the advantage in numbers.
If Lord Nan Ying had not arrived in time, the seven-man team might have been wiped out in the end.
And this person was fighting one against two, and he was able to cut off one of the enemies' arms?
Just when everyone was shocked by the broken arm, the red-dressed woman who stood proudly a few feet away from the crowd had a look of surprise in her eyes, as if she had discovered something.
