Reverse War Surpass Immortal

Chapter 888 - 817: Battle of Wits and Courage

The closer those flying knives got to Duan Gujin's body, the faster their flight speed became, and the more intense the explosions in the air grew.The sound was like thunder; if not seen with one's own eyes, no one would believe that such terrifying explosions were actually made by some flying knives, thin as a cicada's wings and only the size of a thumb.

Under the propulsion of the internal flying array, the speed of those flying knives had reached a terrifying five times the speed of sound.

Though small, these flying knives created a thunderous explosion with the air due to rapid friction.

Of course, such flying knives could not be made from ordinary materials.

To craft flying knives that can endure such terrifying friction, only those very rare advanced materials would do, materials that only the Taihuang Immortal Sect could obtain here on the Yuanzhen Continent.

As the Sect Leader of the Taihuang Immortal Sect, Zhan Changsheng naturally could mobilize the sect's resources to craft suitable Dark Weapons for himself.

But even if he exhausted all the manpower and resources of the Taihuang Immortal Sect, he could only make fifteen identical flying knives.

Duan Gujin took a deep breath, his Divine Sense locked onto all the flying knives rushing toward him.

Boom!

Soon, those flying knives at five times the speed of sound crashed into his Defensive Domain Power.

Although the flying knives were slowed down by the Defensive Domain Power, their speed remained swift, at least three to four times the speed of sound.

"One Sword Spinning Kill!"

At this moment, Duan Gujin decisively wielded his Golden Body Treasure Sword, performing One Sword Spinning Kill, and engaged the flying knives head-on with his Golden Body Treasure Sword.

With a loud bang, one flying knife was hit by the Golden Body Treasure Sword and was sliced into two pieces.

Bam bam bam!

Following this, the flying knives continuously charging toward him were all sliced into several pieces by Duan Gujin.

The shattered flying knives fell to the ground, even igniting some dry branches.

Duan Gujin took a deep breath, his arms somewhat numb.

The One Sword Spinning Kill requires keen eyes and swiftness in hand movements; he had once practiced cutting down over a hundred speeding long arrows, with one-time speed the speed of sound, coming at him.

For him, using One Sword Spinning Kill to strike down enemy-fired long arrows or hidden weapons was still quite easy to accomplish.

As long as the Dark Weapon in his hand was sturdy enough, ensuring he could strike down those longswords or hidden weapons, the Dark Weapon would remain unharmed.

Seeing that Duan Gujin actually used a longsword to directly cut down the hidden weapons he shot, Zhan Changsheng gasped.

He hadn't expected those almost invincible hidden weapons to be completely ineffective, giving him a new perspective on Duan Gujin's combat power.

"What a strong Martial Saint!"

In terms of strength, he surpassed Duan Gujin by one Great Realm, theoretically being about four times stronger than Duan Gujin.

Of course, in combat experience, he was much inferior.

Zhan Changsheng no longer dared to be careless; he knew his opponent was not to be underestimated.

"Sir, may I know who you are exactly?"

Once Duan Gujin confirmed there were no more hidden weapons nearby, he quickly inquired.

The reason he asked was that he wanted to seize this opportunity to catch his breath a little.

Having just used One Sword Spinning Kill, he completely exhausted his Primordial Power and Spiritual Power, which weren't much to begin with, and the Elixir Pills he had previously taken hadn't yet restored much of his Primordial Power and Spiritual Power; taking this chance, he inquired about the pursuer behind him.

He did so just to try to buy himself some time; he really couldn't predict whether the pursuer behind him would tell him the answer.

"I am Zhan Changsheng, Sect Leader of the Taihuang Immortal Sect. You should be one of the three Martial Saints we were pursuing previously. Although I don't know your name, today I tell you as the Sect Leader of the Taihuang Immortal Sect, the largest major sect on the Yuanzhen Continent, you should surrender! We won't unjustly kill an innocent person, but we definitely won't pardon someone who commits evil!"

Zhan Changsheng said.

"So, you are Master Zhan. I apologize for the disrespect! May I ask why your sect is pursuing us three Martial Saints?"

Duan Gujin's eyes flickered, and he asked indifferently.

He had a different thought in mind: "If I hadn't witnessed your shamelessness in my past life, I might have believed you! Haha, I won't be fooled!"

He wouldn't believe Zhan Changsheng's words in his heart, he asked like this just to buy some time.

Zhan Changsheng's eyes flickered, realizing that Duan Gujin was very likely at the end of his tether, only asking about his intentions.

But in reality, he himself was nearly exhausted.

He had also taken some Elixir Pills earlier, but they restored too slowly, making it difficult for him to launch a continuous attack against Duan Gujin again.

He too needed some time to restore his Primordial Power and Spiritual Power.

"May I ask how I should address you?"

Zhan Changsheng asked.

"My surname is Duan, and my name is Gujin!"

Duan Gujin responded.

"You're not a Martial Artist from the Yuanzhen Continent, are you?"

Zhan Changsheng probed.

"Good eye, I am indeed not a Martial Artist from the Yuanzhen Continent!"

Duan Gujin honestly replied.

"Then may I ask which continent you come from?"

"I come from the Jiuzhou Continent; I don't know if you've heard of it!"

To some of Zhan Changsheng's questions, Duan Gujin chose to answer honestly.

Because he thought Zhan Changsheng might not know how to enter the Jiuzhou Continent.

"Do you know how to go back?"

Zhan Changsheng probed.

"I'm still looking! My two companions and I all come from other continents. We're new here and don't know our way around. We didn't expect that as soon as we got here, we'd be bullied by the people of the Taihuang Immortal Sect! In desperation, we had to fight back. We were bullied by your disciples, so tell me, shouldn't we resist?"
