Reverse War Surpass Immortal

Chapter 1239 - 1090: The Counterattack

Duan Gujin performed the Heavenly Demon Nine Steps five times in a row, and then he stopped.He took a deep breath, trying hard to calm himself down.

At the same time, he hurriedly took a Ten-thousand Yuan Pill from his storage ring, quickly recovering his Primordial Power.

Two hours later, his Primordial Power was restored to about eighty percent.

He then began to check Ancestor Yao's storage ring, and soon found a human skin mask inside.

Seeing that human skin mask, he instantly thought that it was highly possible Ancestor Yao wore the mask to disguise himself as a weak Divine World Martial Artist.

"I never expected Ancestor Yao to have made so many preparations!"

He checked the storage ring again and found there were quite a few beards, eyebrows, wigs, and other disguise items.

"If Ancestor Yao really disguised himself as a weak Divine World Martial Artist, then I'm afraid the Eternal Divine Court's Martial Artists wouldn't be able to track him. Should I report what's happening here to the Eternal Divine Court now? But even if I report now, those Exotic Realm Creatures might have escaped! All I have at hand is Ancestor Yao's body. I need to get more Exotic Realm Creatures' bodies!"

His mind shifted, and he hurried back to the village where he had previously slain Ancestor Yao.

But as he approached the village, he saw it covered in flames.

Looking at the fire engulfing the entire village, he immediately thought it was likely the Exotic Realm Creatures trying to destroy the evidence.

His body flickered into a stream of light, rushing into the village.

Once inside the village, he found no living creatures remained, everything had been burned to ashes, even the Life God Trees that could block Divine World Martial Artists' Divine Sense.

"Looks like those Exotic Realm Creatures had planned their retreat well ahead of time!"

He exhaled and extended his Divine Sense outward, trying to locate any lurking Exotic Realm Creatures.

After a while, he sensed four streams of Killing Aura in the dense forest to the left outside the village.

The four streams of Killing Aura locked onto his body, judging from the Killing Aura emanating from them, he deduced they intended to kill him.

He could imagine how deeply the Exotic Realm Creatures who recognized his identity hated him, since he had previously slain Ancestor Yao of that group.

In the Exotic Realm, if a leader of a team is eliminated, the other Exotic Realm Creatures in the team are more or less implicated and punished.

As he expected, the four Exotic Realm Creatures hiding in that forest were Ancestor Yao's personal guards.

Now that their Ancestor Yao had been slain by Duan Gujin, if they returned, they would definitely face severe punishment.

Unless they wanted to avoid severe punishment, they must kill the culprit responsible for Ancestor Yao's death.

In the Exotic Realm, doing so is the only way to evade harsh penalties.

And the harsh penalties in the Exotic Realm are often worse than death.

Therefore, after Duan Gujin fled, the four personal guards decided to stay behind, observing the situation.

Now, they had finally waited for Duan Gujin to appear, and moreover, he was alone.

Secretly, they discussed and agreed to seize the opportunity to strike Duan Gujin down.

"This truly is a heaven-sent opportunity!"

The four personal guards hiding in the dark just wanted to figure out which sect would show up later.

They wanted to avenge Ancestor Yao, naturally wanting to know which sect elder Duan Gujin belonged to.

Upon seeing Duan Gujin alone here now, they hesitated for a moment, without taking action immediately.

After releasing their Divine Sense, surveying the surroundings, and ensuring no other Divine World Martial Artists were nearby, they decided to approach Duan Gujin and kill him with a single strike.

Duan Gujin pretended to inspect the fire-ravaged village, turning his back on the Exotic Realm Creatures.

The four Exotic Realm Creatures saw Duan Gujin's back facing them and immediately communicated covertly, asking each other whether now was the best time to strike.

They stealthily discussed for a while and quickly reached a conclusion.

"Now is the best time for us to strike. If we miss this opportunity, we might never get another chance!"

One Exotic Realm Creature said seriously.

"Yes, yes, big brother, you're right!"

The other Exotic Realm Creatures echoed.

Thus, the four Exotic Realm Creatures immediately stepped out from their hiding place, moving towards Duan Gujin step by step.

At this time, Duan Gujin's back was turned towards them; they were confident that once they got within ten meters of him, that would be the best moment to strike.

Meanwhile, with his Divine Sense locking onto the four Exotic Realm Creatures behind him, Duan Gujin already had a plan to quickly eliminate them.

"Those four Exotic Realm Creatures have very ordinary Cultivation; it seems their powers are restricted. Even if they unleash their full Combat Power, they can only reach Early Stage Martial Saint level! They ended up like this likely due to the Ruining Origin Powder!"

Duan Gujin speculated why Ancestor Yao would feed the Ruining Origin Powder to all the Exotic Realm Creatures in the village; he understood only those who took the powder wouldn't easily expose their aura.

Currently, they can only exhibit Early Stage Martial Saint Combat Power and excel at stealth attacks.
