Chapter 887 - 816: Caught Up
"Let's move closer!"Zhan Changsheng slightly furrowed his brows, and after a few moments of pondering, he came up with a plan.
Then, they deliberately approached Duan Gujin, inching closer to his location step by step.
The two assassins from before were already at a certain distance from Duan Gujin, and Zhan Changsheng thought it would take them a considerable amount of time to get close to Duan Gujin.
Zhan Changsheng hesitated because he was truly cautious about Duan Gujin's Space Escape Technique.
If the opponent were to successfully use the Space Escape Technique, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Duan Gujin's Divine Sense detected Zhan Changsheng and two others closing in step by step; he furrowed his brows, realizing something seemed off.
He had already been suspicious of those two assassins. Although they appeared to be pressured by the Sea Demon Corpse Army, Duan Gujin was certain that the Sea Demon Corpse Army driving the three of them away wasn't stronger than them.
If the opponent's strength was inferior, yet they were forced to retreat, there had to be something strange going on.
"What exactly are these three trying to do?"
Duan Gujin quickly retrieved three Extreme Thunder Swords from his storage ring to prevent a sneak attack.
Seeing Duan Gujin's actions, Zhan Changsheng and the two assassins knew that he was already on guard against them.
Zhan Changsheng gritted his teeth, knowing that he had to act decisively now.
Now was the perfect opportunity to strike, and missing it would mean such an opportunity might never appear again.
"Attack!"
Zhan Changsheng shouted, and his body transformed into a stream of light, swiftly rushing towards Duan Gujin.
The two assassins beside him followed closely, flanking Duan Gujin from the left and right.
Sensing the rapidly rising Qi on Zhan Changsheng, Duan Gujin's face changed dramatically, and his brows furrowed tightly.
A moment later, he sensed that Zhan Changsheng's Qi had broken through to the Shattering Void Realm, only then realizing the opponent's true Cultivation level.
The opponent's step-by-step advance certainly had a significant motive!
Meanwhile, the two assassins also approached Duan Gujin from both sides, locking onto the direction he might flee to prevent his escape.
With Flying Knives in hand, if Duan Gujin attempted to escape, they would immediately hurl them to hinder his retreat.
The assassins understood well that Zhan Changsheng was the strongest among them, and their Combat Power was probably inferior to a Martial Saint's.
They wielded Saint-level Profound Weapons, joining forces to encircle Duan Gujin.
Realizing he was being surrounded, Duan Gujin of course wouldn't surrender voluntarily.
With a thought, he swiftly directed an Extreme Thunder Sword toward the airborne Zhan Changsheng.
Whoosh!
The Extreme Thunder Sword issued a piercing sound as it cut through the void, bolstered by Thunder Power, reaching Zhan Changsheng in less than three breaths.
However, Zhan Changsheng was prepared, forming a protective shield in front of him.
Though the Extreme Thunder Sword was incredibly fast, it was halted by the shield, unable to advance an inch.
Crackle!
Crackle!
Despite the Extreme Thunder Sword being a genuine treasure, in the face of superior power, it remained stagnant.
Duan Gujin gasped sharply. With a thought, the self-destruction array within the Extreme Thunder Sword activated.
With a thunderous explosion, it detonated in mid-air.
Zhan Changsheng, right at the forefront, was startled by the unexpected explosion from the sword he had blocked.
If the one trying to intercept the Extreme Thunder Sword were an ordinary Martial Saint, they would be either dead or severely injured by now.
Zhan Changsheng had already pushed his Defensive Domain Power to the extreme, so the explosion of the Extreme Thunder Sword didn't destroy it.
Seeing his desperate move countered so easily, Duan Gujin furrowed his brows, realizing he couldn't contend with a true Shattering Void Realm expert.
He took a deep breath, withdrew his skill, and took nine steps to the left, traversing the void ahead.
The next moment, he reappeared five miles away.
Without pause, he continued employing the Heavenly Demon Nine Steps, trying to shake off the pursuit of Zhan Changsheng.
Witnessing Duan Gujin's use of the Space Escape Technique firsthand, Zhan Changsheng finally comprehended its potency.
"What an incredible Space Escape Technique!"
Zhan Changsheng had been worried about this technique and lacked comprehensive knowledge about it.
Locking onto Duan Gujin's position with his Divine Sense, he flashed and transformed into a stream of light, speeding forward.
The two assassins also pursued at extreme speed. Yet, after Duan Gujin executed the Space Escape Technique over a dozen times, they couldn't keep up.
"Unexpectedly, that Martial Saint can continuously use the Space Escape Technique as if indefinitely!"
The two assassins gasped, knowing that emulating Duan Gujin's technique to such an extent would deplete their Primordial Power and Spiritual Power.
Despite their Cultivation being two or three realms higher, Duan Gujin's Primordial Power and Spiritual Power were superior.
With helplessness in their hearts, they realized that even if they exhausted all their energy, they still couldn't catch up and chose to give up.
Though they abandoned the chase, Zhan Changsheng did not. He channeled his energy and spiritual powers to increase his speed to the maximum.
Duan Gujin, continuously executing the Heavenly Demon Nine Steps, began to feel exhausted.
Yet, glancing back with his Divine Sense, he saw that the Shattering Void Realm expert was relentless in pursuit.
Furrowing his brows, he pondered who, within Taihuang Immortal Sect, could be chasing him.
Based on Zhan Pingta's previous accounts, only five individuals in the sect had reached the Shattering Void Realm.
It's evident the warrior behind him must be one of Taihuang Immortal Sect's elders, and he was eager to know the identity of his pursuer.
