Chapter 885 - 814: Failed Ambush
"Yes, my friend, don't you have other companions? It's very dangerous here."Duan Gujin's eyes flickered for a moment. Although he found the sudden appearance of the newcomer strange, he thought that since he was now alone in a corner of the city eliminating those sea demon corpses.
But if some Human Warriors appeared here, it would be perfectly normal. He did not immediately suspect Zhan Changsheng's identity.
"All of my other friends are in the back dealing with those sea demon corpses that are attacking. Friend, I came to tell you that you must retreat immediately. Our mission is to preserve our strength. Although these sea demon corpses are numerous and strong, they cannot last long. I estimate they can only last for about a day, then these sea demon corpses will disappear! Don't risk your life here to take them on!"
Zhan Changsheng said sincerely.
"Oh, I understand, friend. You don't need to worry about me. For me, these sea demon corpses are just small fry. They are no match for me. Don't concern yourself with me!"
Duan Gujin replied.
"How can I just leave it like that? We are both from the Human Clan, and now we're facing the Sea Demon Clan, who are our eternal enemies. Don't be reckless! Friend, why not join the expedition organized by the Taihuang Immortal Sect, specifically to eliminate these sea demon corpses? Taihuang Immortal Sect is now the savior of the Yuanzhen Continent! Without their intervention, who knows how many humans would have died in these cities!"
Zhan Changsheng's eyes flashed, then he spoke calmly.
"Oh, I see! Friend, you'd better not disturb me anymore! Let me quietly eliminate these sea demon corpses here on my own!"
Duan Gujin didn't want to join the Taihuang Immortal Sect's expedition. He just wanted to quietly eliminate those sea demon corpses coming ashore.
"Isn't that a bit risky? Being here on your own is very dangerous. What if a powerful sea demon corpse shows up? What will you do then?"
Zhan Changsheng did not approach Duan Gujin but instead shouted to him while slashing at the sea demon corpses.
He didn't want to arouse the other's suspicion about his identity. He purposely presented himself as a passing Martial Saint Third Level warrior. He approached Duan Gujin with the intent to persuade him to join Taihuang Immortal Sect's expedition to eliminate sea demon corpses together.
"Go ahead and leave, I can manage on my own here. If I can't defeat powerful sea demon corpses, I have a way to run faster than them! As you can see, these sea demon corpses move very slowly. I can easily take them down one by one here! Just go, and don't hinder me!"
Duan Gujin responded calmly.
Hearing a hint of displeasure in the other's tone, Zhan Changsheng's eyes flickered. He knew that if he pressed further, Duan Gujin would definitely become suspicious of him.
In terms of strength, he only demonstrated the ability of a Martial Saint Third Level, while the other party was at Martial Saint Second Realm, merely stronger by one minor realm.
He originally wanted to get closer to Duan Gujin to see if he could befriend him and possibly extract some information from him.
He could force his way closer, but considered that Duan Gujin might use the Space Escape Technique.
If he couldn't catch him and the latter escaped using Space Escape Technique, it would be even harder to catch Duan Gujin in the future.
As he rapidly considered his options, he noticed a giant sea turtle appearing among the sea demon corpses on the left.
Upon sensing the Shattering Void Realm Cultivation emanating from the giant sea turtle, his expression changed drastically, and his eyes flickered. He then spoke to Duan Gujin: "Friend, look over there, that giant sea turtle seems to be one that can release venom. I can't recall its name, but you must be extremely careful!"
"Okay, I understand. You should retreat immediately. I'll find a way to deal with that sea turtle!"
Duan Gujin answered.
"Alright, then I won't disturb you any further!"
Zhan Changsheng's eyes flashed as he quickly thought of a plan.
"Farewell, friend!"
Zhan Changsheng cupped his hands towards Duan Gujin, then his body turned into a stream of light and swiftly departed.
Seeing the other party leave, Duan Gujin exhaled a breath. He did not suspect Zhan Changsheng's identity.
He was now engaged with the sea demon corpses and had to guard against perhaps more powerful sea demons appearing ahead. He didn't want to be interrupted by a suddenly appearing Martial Artist.
After moving away from Duan Gujin, Zhan Changsheng immediately activated a Communication Spirit Talisman, signaling two other assassins to converge on his location.
Fifteen minutes later, the two assassins arrived.
After seeing the two assassins, Zhan Changsheng immediately divulged his plan to them, instructing them to secretly ambush Duan Gujin.
"I'll stay behind and support you two. You attack first, and then I'll join in!"
Zhan Changsheng said.
"Understood!"
The two assassins did not doubt Zhan Changsheng's intentions. They thought for a moment and realized that his plan was indeed a good one.
The three of them ambushing and pinning down a Martial Saint Second Realm warrior would certainly increase their chances of success. Plus, among them, Zhan Changsheng was the leader of Taihuang Immortal Sect and a master at the Shattering Void Realm.
They firmly believed that once Zhan Changsheng intervened, Duan Gujin would not be able to escape from their clutches.
They all subdued their Life Auras and moved step by step towards the front.
However, just when they thought they were approaching Duan Gujin, they discovered that he was no longer at his previous position, and a giant sea turtle was moving slowly towards them.
"Trouble, could it be that person sensed something wrong with me earlier?"
Zhan Changsheng's eyes flickered, and he didn't let the two assassins advance further.
He knew that the sea turtle ahead truly had Shattering Void Realm Cultivation, and even though it was part of the sea demon corps, the level of power it could unleash was beyond his imagination.
"Why is that person no longer there?"
This thought crossed Zhan Changsheng's mind. He tried to recall yet couldn't figure out where he had aroused Duan Gujin's suspicion.
In fact, he was unaware that Duan Gujin hadn't seen through his identity; Duan Gujin had just spent too much of his Extreme Thunder Dragon, exhausting his Primordial Power and Spiritual Power.
Given this, he certainly wouldn't foolishly engage with a sea demon corpse that had already reached Shattering Void Realm.
He had decisively left shortly after Zhan Changsheng departed.
However, he didn't use the Heavenly Demon Nine Steps, but rather ran as fast as he could.
