Reverse War Surpass Immortal

Chapter 891 - 817: Battle of Wits and Courage (Part 4)

The Heavenly Demon Nine Steps only allows a Martial Artist to escape a kilometer in a short time, but the Starry Sky Escape Technique allows a Martial Artist to escape over three hundred kilometers at once.However, the Starry Sky Escape Technique requires a lot of Primordial Power and Spiritual Power.

He once tried the Starry Sky Escape Technique and found he could use it, but once he did, his meridians and internal organs would be severely injured, and even if he consumed Ten-thousand-year-old Divine Milk and other Elixir Pills, he could not recover any of his Primordial Power and Spiritual Power within ten days.

Once the enemy locked onto his position, even if he successfully escaped temporarily, he would eventually be caught.

But at this point, Duan Gujin had no other choice; he knew he had to make a decision.

Zhan Changsheng's strength was a whole Great Realm above his, and the gap in their power was not negligible.

Although he currently had some Divine-level Profound Weapons on hand, they weren't strong enough to let him kill an enemy a whole Great Realm higher than him.

He and Zhan Changsheng could only match wits and bravery, not foolishness.

"Don't get too close to me; I'm not used to it!"

Duan Gujin said to Zhan Changsheng, who was getting too close for comfort.

"Alright, let's head back together!"

Zhan Changsheng was fuming inside, thinking that he, the distinguished Sect Leader of the Taihuang Immortal Sect, was revered wherever he went, but now he had to follow a junior's lead.

"Wait until I catch you, then I'll think about how to torment you!"

Zhan Changsheng pretended to agree to everything Duan Gujin said, intending to confuse him until he fully recovered his Primordial Power and made his move.

Duan Gujin was naturally not deceived, and his thoughts were quite similar to Zhan Changsheng's.

They were both deliberately sowing confusion to mislead each other.

However, Duan Gujin intended to wait until his body had recovered enough of his Primordial Power and Spiritual Power before using the Starry Sky Escape Technique to flee over three hundred kilometers.

At such a distance, even Zhan Changsheng, whose cultivation had reached the Shattering Void Realm, would definitely not be able to locate him with Divine Sense.

He was discreetly scouting the area, not wanting to end up in a more dangerous place after deploying the Starry Sky Escape Technique.

His mind raced as he calculated which direction within over three hundred kilometers had plenty of forests or grasslands.

If he used the Starry Sky Escape Technique and remained unseen by others, he would still be safe afterward.

Two cunning minds meeting would inevitably result in an abundance of plots and schemes.

On the road, they kept talking; though there was a considerable distance between them, they both used a Secret Technique to make sure the other could hear their words clearly.

It was then that Zhan Changsheng found out that Duan Gujin was not yet twenty years old and had achieved the Martial Saint Second Realm.

"I didn't expect the Jiuzhou Continent to be so powerful!"

He couldn't help but marvel inwardly.

Although he was the Sect Leader of the Taihuang Immortal Sect, it was at age twenty-eight that he had broken through to the First Level of the Martial Saint Realm.

And recalling his cultivation efforts back then brought tears to his eyes!

Zhan Changsheng knew well that he had been cultivating since birth, endured many hardships, and relied on ample cultivation resources from his family, finally breaking through to the First Level of the Martial Saint Realm at age twenty-eight.

Yet this young man in front of him, not yet twenty, had already broken through to the Second Realm of the Martial Saint.

"My gosh! I didn't realize the Jiuzhou Continent was so much more advanced than the Yuanzhen Continent!"

He knew if a continent allowed Martial Artists to cultivate more easily, it meant that the Rule Power there was more complete and cultivation resources were more abundant.

He suddenly felt an urge to venture into the Jiuzhou Continent, his eyes sparkling and his mind uncertain.

He couldn't decide whether he should forge a good relationship with the person before him or directly capture him, then use forceful methods to uncover Jiuzhou Continent's secrets.

But clearly, the second approach carried a definite risk.

If the opponent employed a Secret Technique like Divine Soul self-destruction, then he would gain nothing.

Finding two more people would be ideal, but if he couldn't, then his desire to enter the Jiuzhou Continent couldn't be realized.

He was deeply torn, unable to make up his mind.

Not far from Zhan Changsheng, Duan Gujin's Divine Sense detected his opponent's hesitance, and he understood what was on his mind.

"Luckily, he fell into my trap!"

He exhaled a breath of relief; he had intentionally revealed the truth about being from the Jiuzhou Continent to delay time for himself and make Zhan Changsheng ponder the best course of action, to make him hesitant.

If Zhan Changsheng were ruthless enough, and only wanted to kill him to avenge his fallen elders and disciples, he could kill him without hesitation now.

Duan Gujin was certainly uncomfortable, but he was well aware of the vast difference in strength compared to his opponent.

In the face of absolute power, any deceptions or schemes are futile.

Therefore, he had to exhaust every means to bide time for himself, revealing part of the truth to make Zhan Changsheng see him as still valuable.

As long as the target has value, the one in power might consider extracting every ounce of worth before ending the target's life.
