Chapter 940 - 850: Comparing the Gap

Here is the translation of the provided Chinese text:```html

The crowd saw the snakes in front being engulfed by the blazing fire and breathed a sigh of relief, believing that the snakes would retreat in the face of the burning flames.

However, what made everyone shudder was that despite the unknown number of snakes that the fire had killed, there were still countless snakes madly rushing towards them from behind.

Even though Tang Chaoyang burned many snakes with wood and kerosene, seeing the waves of snakes surging up from behind like a tide, he gasped in shock.

He soon ordered a retreat.

Watching the swarming snakes from behind, the martial artists present turned pale, imagining what fate awaited them if they were surrounded by the snakes.

Surely they would be annihilated, not even a trace left!

Despite the Chaotic Ancient Immortal Sect having made various preparations beforehand, the tidal wave of snakes quickly consumed their resources, leaving them feeling helpless.

For a moment, tackling the dead snakes in front became a thorny challenge.

The martial artists scratched their heads for a while but still couldn't come up with a solution.

Fortunately, those dead snakes moved relatively slow compared to them, so they could swiftly leave before they arrived.

For the time being, those dead snakes couldn't harm them.

But the martial artists knew they couldn't let the dead snakes drive them out of the Wanshi Mountain.

They all thought about counterattacking, but how to do so had them racking their brains for a while, yet they couldn't come up with a plan.

Duan Gujin extended his Divine Sense outward, detecting that the dead snakes in front were controlled by a powerful force.

Under the control of that force, the dead snakes relentlessly pressured the martial artists of the Chaotic Ancient Immortal Sect.

His eyes flashed, and he thought of a possibility.

"It seems the mastermind controlling these dead snakes is up ahead!"

He guessed the mastermind was ahead, yet his Divine Sense inspection couldn't detect the presence of the mastermind.

"It seems the strength of the mastermind ahead far surpasses mine!"

"How can we stop the advance of these dead snakes?"

He pondered for a moment and then came up with a solution.

With a thought, he quickly activated the deterrent power of the Giant Demon Elephant Martial Soul.

Soon, as the dead snakes were about to approach them, they all stopped, fell sideways, and collapsed.

The crowd was shocked, initially suspecting it was a ploy by the dead snakes, so they didn't step forward to check the situation.

Tang Chaoyang, however, sensed the terrifying power released from Duan Gujin's Martial Soul and speculated that the abnormal state of the dead snakes might be connected to Duan Gujin.

Tang Chaoyang immediately inquired about the situation, and Duan Gujin promptly shared his assessment.

After hearing it, Tang Chaoyang believed Duan Gujin's prediction was correct.

"That's right, these dead snakes must be controlled by a powerful force. If we can disrupt that controlling force with strong power, the dead snakes will return to their original state!"

Tang Chaoyang glanced at Duan Gujin, acknowledging his experience surpassed his own.

Although he guessed the dead snakes were controlled, he hadn't thought of a way to counterattack.

Now he saw Duan Gujin releasing strong Divine Soul Power to counteract the controlling force and realized Duan Gujin's capabilities surpassed his own.

Despite being the Sect Leader of the Chaotic Ancient Immortal Sect, Tang Chaoyang was not well-versed in Divine Soul attack and defense; he didn't know how to use Divine Soul Power to counter the opponent's manipulation.

If Duan Gujin of his past life were here, he would have used auxiliary Dark Weapons to help fight the opponent's control.

"Sect Leader, soon the hidden enemy will reveal their true face. Be decisive when they appear, and if you realize a substantial skill gap, order an immediate retreat!"

Duan Gujin said.

Tang Chaoyang understood the poignant tone of Duan Gujin's words.

"No need to wait for the order to retreat; I will have the disciples in the rear retreat now. I'll summon all the elders, and we shall protect you!"

Tang Chaoyang replied.

"Okay, please be careful when dealing with the enemy ahead!"

Duan Gujin said earnestly.

"I understand!"

Tang Chaoyang exhaled, feeling relieved seeing the disciples safely withdrawn.

The dead snakes in front advanced towards Duan Gujin's location, yet no matter how many came, they all fell to the ground.

Tang Chaoyang and the elders wore solemn expressions, knowing the dead snakes' collapse was solely due to the terrifying aura released by Duan Gujin.

Unable to determine what kind of terrifying aura it was, they regarded it as an offensive weapon.

And as long as this offensive weapon could kill the enemy, it was considered a good skill.

Tang Chaoyang and the elders rejoiced seeing the dead snakes fallen before them, yet they knew the mastermind concealed among the snakes would soon emerge.

They readied themselves for battle, prepared to swarm and attack the mastermind when he appeared.

Tang Chaoyang's eyes flashed, and he asked, "Friend, do you have enough Elixir Pills with you?"

"Sect Leader, rest assured, I have enough Elixir Pills to last me a day and night. These dead snakes cannot harm me; I'm only worried about the mastermind. I don't know how powerful he is; if he's too strong, I'll have to retreat immediately!"

"Rest assured, we will protect you with all our might!"

Tang Chaoyang's eyes flickered, contemplating a strategy.

"You two guard him closely, ensure his safety. If the mastermind ahead proves too strong, take him away immediately! Don't worry about us old fellows; we may not defeat the mastermind, but we can handle the dead snakes!"

Tang Chaoyang instructed the two elders beside him.

"Understood!"

The two elders solemnly accepted Tang Chaoyang's orders.

Hearing this, Duan Gujin couldn't help but feel touched.

He recalled the melancholy of Mo Yan when speaking of his deceased Sect Leader.

In the past, Duan Gujin might not have understood the source of Mo Yan's sorrow.

Now he realized.

"Tang Chaoyang is far superior to Zhan Changsheng!"

Duan Gujin mused.

Through comparison, he understood the disparity and realized why Mo Yan cherished his fellow members like Tang Chaoyang in a previous life.
