Reverse War Surpass Immortal

Chapter 1007 - 900: Outmaneuvered (2)

Duan Gujin frowned deeply, as he had not noticed the black cloud in the sky dissipating, which meant he had not yet eliminated the enemy releasing the black cloud.This meant that Meng Yunfei had not been killed by him.

"Huh, why haven't those black clouds dissipated?"

After a while, Gu Xiaoyue and the others noticed something unusual as the black clouds shrouding them still hadn't dispersed, leaving them puzzled.

"Has Meng Yunfei not died?"

Yu Man immediately considered this possibility, having heard many tales of doppelgangers, and she quickly thought that the enemy Duan Gujin just destroyed might merely be a doppelganger of Meng Yunfei.

"I have a simple way to destroy these black clouds!"

Duan Gujin took a deep breath, unable to accurately determine if Meng Yunfei was eliminated, he could only use a simple and crude method to deal with the black cloud in the sky.

Obviously, those black clouds were released by some treasure.

As long as he could find the exact location of that treasure, he could destroy the black cloud.

However, the black clouds in the sky, like the one-sided heavenly tribulation he released, could envelop the entire area completely, increasing the difficulty of him finding that treasure.

Duan Gujin's mind stirred, and waves of rumbling thunder roared towards the surrounding black clouds.

Under the flashes of dazzling lightning, many black clouds were forcibly dispersed.

Duan Gujin's eyes widened, and he quickly discovered the location of the treasure releasing the black cloud.

However, to Duan Gujin's surprise, he found that the treasure releasing the black cloud was placed in a place resembling an altar, and his eyes flashed, suspecting that the altar was not simple.

Therefore, he did not covet the treasure but chose a simpler method, intending to use a one-sided heavenly tribulation to destroy the altar and the treasure.

"Bring it on!"

As countless bolts of lightning descended from the sky, directly striking the altar and the treasure, the hidden Meng Yunfei's true form turned pale, his heart filled with alarm.

"I really didn't expect this, I miscalculated!"

It turns out the Meng Yunfei's true form just released was merely a doppelganger, and his plan was to use the doppelganger to confuse Duan Gujin and the others.

Once Duan Gujin and the others destroyed his doppelganger, they would definitely go for the treasure releasing the black cloud next.

Meng Yunfei believed that Duan Gujin and others should find the treasure releasing the black cloud very quickly. As long as they step onto that altar, the martial artists entering the altar would fall into the array he had set up, unable to move.

If the opponent couldn't move, he could easily deal with Duan Gujin and the others.

However, to his surprise, he didn't anticipate that Duan Gujin wouldn't follow the usual path, completely ignoring the treasure he released and directly destroying the hard-won treasure.

He was very fond of the treasure that could release the black cloud, using its abilities, he had escaped the pursuit of several Divine World experts.

Originally, he was very reluctant to use the treasure as bait, but he saw Duan Gujin and the others escaping rapidly, soon to leave the area.

Therefore, he had to make a desperate gamble and take a risk.

However, the subsequent developments were completely beyond his guessing, he didn't expect the opponent to completely disregard his treasure and choose to destroy it directly.

Seeing his treasure utterly destroyed by the opponent, Meng Yunfei's heart was bleeding as he opened his eyes wide, glaring hatefully at Duan Gujin.

If he could, he would have wished to tear Duan Gujin into pieces.

However, he soon calmed down, realizing he had lost his greatest leverage.

Facing Duan Gujin in battle, he may suffer defeat next.

Although his heart was filled with hatred, Meng Yunfei quickly composed himself, and with a flash of his body, he used the Earth Escape spell for rapid escape.

After destroying the treasure, Duan Gujin released his Divine Sense, quickly detecting a trace of Qi rapidly escaping underground ahead.

He locked onto that Qi and soon judged it was most likely Meng Yunfei's true form.

His eyes flashed, immediately considering a possibility.

"So the one I destroyed just now was his doppelganger!"

Duan Gujin exhaled, guessing that Meng Yunfei was probably trying to scare them.

However, Meng Yunfei didn't anticipate that he wouldn't fall for it.

"Did that person escape?"

Yu Man also sensed the spatial fluctuations caused by Earth Escape at the underground ahead, and determined from the spatial fluctuations that the enemy was rapidly escaping.

"Yes, quickly check the indicating compass on you to see if it still works?"

Duan Gujin immediately asked.

Yu Man quickly retrieved the Indicating Compass from her storage ring. After fiddling with it for a while, she discovered that it was operable.

Her face was full of surprise: "Wonderful, the Indicating Compass is working! Let's head this way; we need to leave here immediately!"

"Okay!"

Gu Xiaoyue and the others became very excited; they had just thought they were doomed.

However, they didn't anticipate that Duan Gujin would unleash a powerful treasure and instantly destroy the enemy and their treasure, allowing them a fortunate escape.

"Let's go!"

Duan Gujin was also worried that Meng Yunfei might have a frightening backup plan waiting for them, so he quickly fled with Yu Man and the others.

However, during the escape, Yu Man suddenly furrowed her brows and stopped in her tracks.

Seeing her stop, the others followed suit.

"What's wrong?"

Duan Gujin asked.

Yu Man exhaled a breath of stale air, saying: "The Indicating Compass in my hand tells me there's a strong sense of the Youquan Ice Flower ahead. I'm quite sure there's indeed a Youquan Ice Flower in front. What are your thoughts?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Xiaoyue and the others looked displeased.

"At a time like this, you're still thinking about that Youquan Ice Flower. What if it's a trap? You should know how terrifying the enemy's power was just now. If not for Duan Gujin, we would all be dead here!"

Recalling the recent events, Gu Xiaoyue shuddered with lingering fear.

Though she desperately wanted wealth, she didn't want to die. Today's events were enough to frighten her.

Faced with the choice between wealth and her life, she decisively chose her life.

The other three young men, having been scared out of their wits by what had happened, were like startled birds now, unwilling to take any more risks.

"Yu Man, let's not go after the Youquan Ice Flower anymore. While money is precious, life is even more so!"

A young man chastised.

"And you, Duan Gujin?"

Yu Man immediately sought Duan Gujin's opinion; unlike the others, she really wanted to obtain the Youquan Ice Flower.

Duan Gujin's eyes flashed. After hesitating for a moment, he said to Yu Man, "Let's go and check it out. Don't be afraid; the treasure in my hand is very powerful!"

"Alright then, let's go! Follow me!"

Yu Man responded quickly.

She knew that in this team, Duan Gujin had the highest combat power; if he wasn't willing to follow her, she wouldn't dare take the risk.

If Duan Gujin were to accompany her, she would have to rely on herself to search for the Youquan Ice Flower next.

She was well aware that without Duan Gujin's help, her chances of finding the Youquan Ice Flower on her own were slim.

"Yu Man, do you have a reason you absolutely need to get the Youquan Ice Flower?"

On the way, Duan Gujin probed.

"Yes, I have a very good reason. My grandfather is ill, and I want to find the Youquan Ice Flower for him!"

"So when you told us earlier that you would auction the Youquan Ice Flower and share the profits with us, it was all a lie?"

Gu Xiaoyue, realizing the truth, immediately questioned.

"My grandfather has money. I will give each of you a large sum of money, so you don't have to worry about money!" Yu Man said calmly.

"Humph!"

Gu Xiaoyue then realized that she had been manipulated by Yu Man all along, feeling extremely frustrated.

In her mind, she was the one who should be scheming against others, not the other way around.

Now that Yu Man had stepped on her toes, a fleeting cold glint flashed through her eyes as she looked at Yu Man.

Although, at this moment, she showed no resentment towards Yu Man, her mind was racing with thoughts of how to bring Yu Man down.

Duan Gujin, realizing he had been manipulated by Yu Man, had no complaints. He had guessed earlier that Yu Man had ulterior motives.

Now that she explained, he didn't blame her.
