Chapter 975 - 874: Slaying with a Single Sword
Everyone saw his sword strike, slicing a Martial Saint Fourth Realm Otherworldly powerhouse into two pieces, and gasped in shock.Many Martial Artists present recognized Duan Gujin as the seventh in this Dimension Advancement Competition, aware of his extraordinary strength.
But witnessing him kill a Martial Saint Fourth Realm Otherworldly powerhouse with a single sword strike left them utterly stunned.
"Oh my heavens! He is actually this powerful!"
Gu Xiaoyue, standing aside, had her mouth agape, face full of astonishment.
Although she had ventured through tribulations with Duan Gujin in the past, they were merely challenges, not true combat.
She understood well that the real strength of a Martial Artist could only be tested through combat.
Seeing Duan Gujin slay a Martial Saint Fourth Realm Otherworldly powerhouse with just one sword strike shook her profoundly.
"Could it be that these Otherworldly powerhouses aren't actually strong?"
Her eyes flickered, and she immediately considered this possibility.
But after a moment, she realized that this likelihood was low.
"How could Otherworldly powerhouses not be strong? It's known that both the Divine World and the Immortal Domain treat Otherworldly powerhouses as the number one enemy!"
Her heart stirred, realizing her previous guess was certainly incorrect.
If Otherworldly powerhouses weren't strong, why would masters from the Divine World or Immortal Domain go to great lengths to fight against them?
Otherworldly powerhouses must be strong, which is why the Divine World and Immortal Domain feel the need to eliminate them to remove future threats.
The Divine World wouldn't lie, nor would the Immortal Domain!
Duan Gujin had been hiding his strength all along, deliberately concealing his true capabilities!
The Martial Artists present hadn't realized Duan Gujin was using the Mad Demon Sword Technique. Had they recognized it, their thoughts wouldn't have been the same as before.
Mo Yan, standing by, was deeply shocked. Although he knew Duan Gujin was formidable, he hadn't a point of reference before and couldn't accurately describe Duan Gujin's prowess.
Now, seeing him kill a Martial Saint Fourth Realm Otherworldly powerhouse with one sword strike, Mo Yan gasped in shock, unable to calm his heart for a long time.
After slaying the Martial Saint Fourth Realm Otherworldly powerhouse, Duan Gujin swiftly retreated.
During his retreat, several Otherworldly powerhouses surrounded him, intending to kill Duan Gujin.
However, those powerhouses only saw a flash of white light pass before them and then felt sudden pain on their bodies.
Looking down, each of them was stunned.
Some Otherworldly powerhouses had a large bloody gash on their chests, while others had their necks slashed open, blood gushing from the wound. Some had their longswords drop to the ground as their arms were severed.
Returning to the team, Duan Gujin hurriedly retrieved an Elixir Medicine Bottle from his storage ring and drank half a mouthful of Ten-thousand-year-old Divine Milk.
The battle had consumed half of his Primordial Power and Spiritual Power, and he needed to recuperate for a while.
"Go!"
Mo Yan and the others beside him immediately rushed forward to confront the Otherworldly powerhouses.
Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!
Countless sounds of metal clashing resounded in the air. Only after engaging with the Otherworldly powerhouses did the Human Clanspeople realize the true strength of the Otherworldly powerhouses.
On the scene, Mo Yan engaged in battle with a First Level Martial Saint Otherworldly powerhouse, evenly matched in strength.
Meanwhile, Gu Xiaoyue first chose a Martial Emperor Realm Otherworldly powerhouse, and after slaying them, she went for a First Level Martial Saint Otherworldly powerhouse directly.
She wanted to see how much she differed from the Otherworldly powerhouses. Unlike Duan Gujin, who chose to confront powerhouses equivalent to Martial Saint Fourth Realm immediately, she preferred testing her limits progressively.
Cautious and meticulous, she dared not take undue risks.
After a while, all the Martial Artists present came to understand the strength of the Otherworldly powerhouses, recalling Duan Gujin's earlier feat of slaying a Martial Saint Fourth Realm Otherworldly powerhouse, and admired his combat power immensely.
They realized their own strength was unlikely to allow slaying an Otherworldly powerhouse two small realms stronger than themselves in one strike; it was beyond their capabilities.
The Otherworldly powerhouses' bodies were truly formidable, wielding decent-quality Dark Weapons against them. To defeat those of similar realm was already commendable; it was impossible to one-shot powerhouses two minor realms beyond oneself.
Thus the disciples of Ascension Academy, upon seeing Duan Gujin, had eyes filled with awe.
Duan Gujin previously ambushed and successfully slain a Martial Saint Fourth Realm Otherworldly powerhouse with one strike, then repelled several Otherworldly powerhouses of Martial Saint realm, leaving a deep impression. They only now realized such a powerful Martial Artist was in their team, astonishing them greatly.
For them, the stronger their Martial Artists, the less fear they had of the formidable Otherworldly powerhouses.
Evidently, joining a weak team meant not only failing to slay Otherworldly powerhouses but possibly being annihilated by them.
With twenty members, they were reluctant to recruit more.
Once the team size grew too large, it became a hindrance in distributing engagement with encountered Otherworldly powerhouses.
However, unexpectedly, barely after moving out a bit, they encountered an Otherworldly powerhouse team of over thirty, leading to immediate combat.
Though they were numerically inferior to Ascension Academy's side, all on their side had the minimum cultivation of First Level Martial Saint, whereas the lowest of the Otherworldly had even Martial Emperor First Level.
Evidently, overall, Duan Gujin's side boasted superior strength.
Under fifteen minutes, their side of Martial Artists defeated the Otherworldly powerhouse team.
Everyone, panting heavily, quickly consumed Elixir Pills, sat in meditation, recovered their strength.
An hour later, everyone mostly recovered.
"Let's keep moving!"
Duan Gujin said.
"Okay!"
Thus, under his leadership, the others proceeded forward, putting full trust in him.
Under Duan Gujin's lead, they advanced two kilometers before encountering another Otherworldly powerhouse team.
This time, however, the Otherworldly team was rather large.
"Unexpectedly, this Otherworldly powerhouse team has over two hundred members, and among them, there are more than fifty Martial Saints!"
Duan Gujin extended his Divine Sense, quickly assessing the strength of the team ahead.
