Chapter 925 - 837: Feigned Cooperation
He extended his Divine Sense, locking onto the body of the Lizard Demon Beast.The next moment, he felt that the neck might very likely be the weak spot of the Lizard Demon Beast.
Thus, he quickly drew his Longsword, infusing Primordial Power into it.
He executed the Mad Demon Sword Technique, his Primordial Power instantly erupting, as his Divine Sense locked onto the neck of the Lizard Demon Beast ahead.
A moment later, his body flashed, transforming into a stream of light rushing forward.
The Lizard Demon Beast let out an excited roar, also charging at his body.
Almost in that instant, a white light flickered from the body of the Lizard Demon Beast.
Two breaths later, the white light stopped less than a hundred meters behind the Lizard Demon Beast.
The Lizard Demon Beast's body continued to charge a few steps forward, roared a few times, and then collapsed to the ground, unable to move.
Duan Gujin extended his Divine Sense, confirming the presence of a massive bloodstained gash at the neck of the Lizard Demon Beast, with blood constantly flowing out.
The Lizard Demon Beast struggled for a while, but the injuries were too severe, and after a while, it was completely dead.
After some time, its body turned to ashes.
Seeing this, Duan Gujin breathed a sigh of relief, checking his body with his Divine Sense, he knew precisely how much strength he needed to wipe out a Martial Saint Fourth Realm Lizard Demon Beast.
He viewed the Recording Name Plate with his Divine Sense, and the next moment he saw the Recording Name Plate recorded his recent kill of a Martial Saint Fourth Realm Lizard Demon Beast, earning him three hundred and twenty-one points.
Seeing that he had slain a Martial Saint Fourth Realm Lizard Demon Beast, obtaining three hundred and twenty-one points, Duan Gujin was overjoyed inside, realizing staying here to grind was the best choice.
"I just consumed a quarter of my Primordial Power and Spiritual Power, divided over three hundred points, now I can still slay another Lizard Demon Beast, earning more than three hundred points."
He quickly paused to recuperate nearby, and then he continued to walk forward.
He walked about three hundred meters, detecting another Lizard Demon Beast ahead.
He repeated the method, using the One Sword Breaking Heaven on the Lizard Demon Beast ahead, piercing through its throat with one strike.
Having slain another Lizard Demon Beast, he sat cross-legged, consumed Elixir Pills, and recuperated on the spot, restoring Primordial Power and Spiritual Power. About an hour later, he sensed Gu Xiaoyue and that Martial Saint approaching his current location.
"Friend ahead, are you Duan Gujin?"
Gu Xiaoyue, upon probing with Divine Sense, quickly asked when she located Duan Gujin.
"Yes!"
Duan Gujin slightly furrowed his brows and replied.
"Great, you didn't go far!"
Gu Xiaoyue said.
"The strength of the Demon Beasts here is very formidable, I need to consume a quarter of my Primordial Power and Spiritual Power to eliminate one Demon Beast, I estimate that with my abilities, I can only manage to linger here for a while!"
Duan Gujin's eyes flickered as he remarked with sentiment.
Gu Xiaoyue and the Martial Saint Fourth Realm Martial Artist beside her gasped upon hearing Duan Gujin's sentiment.
They had encountered a Martial Saint Fourth Realm Lizard Demon Beast after entering this place.
They joined forces to slay the Lizard Demon Beast, each ultimately earning over a hundred points.
They had previously grasped the rules here, knowing it was best for them not to simultaneously attack the same Demon Beast.
Their Recording Name Plate would document their entire process of slaying the Demon Beast, finally awarding them points.
About an hour later, he sensed Gu Xiaoyue and that Martial Saint approaching his current location.

Gu Xiaoyue, upon probing with Divine Sense, quickly asked when she located Duan Gujin.

They had previously grasped the rules here, knowing it was best for them not to simultaneously attack the same Demon Beast.
Their Recording Name Plate would document their entire process of slaying the Demon Beast, finally awarding them a very low score.
What frustrated them the most was that, when the two of them joined forces to battle the Lizard Demon Beast, they had already consumed more than half of their strength.
This meant they couldn't simultaneously battle two Lizard Demon Beasts.
And now they realized that to eliminate one Lizard Demon Beast, the person before them only needed to consume a quarter of his Primordial Power and Spiritual Power, instantly prompting a shared thought in their minds.
"This person really hides his true power deep!"
They speculated that Duan Gujin's true Combat Power was already at the Sixth Level Martial Saint, yet he refrained from revealing it.
Gu Xiaoyue's eyes instantly glowed green. She initially thought the Martial Saint Fourth Realm Martial Artist beside her was formidable enough, but now she realized Duan Gujin's Combat Power far surpassed that of the Martial Saint beside her.
"Friend, let's team up! When you go to slaughter the Lizard Demon Beasts, we won't intervene, we'll just recuperate our Primordial Power on the side, unless you truly encounter difficulties, that's when we'll step in! When we battle, you don't need to step in, you can just recuperate your Primordial Power at the side! Only in this way can we earn more points here. Maybe later, we'll ascend to the fifth level together to slay the Demon Beasts within!"
Gu Xiaoyue proposed.
Duan Gujin hesitated for a while and then agreed to Gu Xiaoyue's suggestion.
Gu Xiaoyue was overjoyed inside, knowing she could now rely on a powerful ally.
"You two stay here and recuperate for a while, I'm off to slay Lizard Demon Beasts!"
His body flashed, moving to search for Lizard Demon Beasts nearby.
The Demon Beasts in the Illusion Demon World only operate within a small scope, they won't casually venture into other Demon Beasts' territories, which is a flaw in the Illusion Demon World's design.
However, for the Martial Artists venturing here on an expedition, this flaw is exceptionally advantageous.
Once they eliminate a Demon Beast, they can peacefully restore their Primordial Power within the territory of the beast they vanquished, without worrying about encountering other Demon Beasts here.
The Illusion Demon World's purpose is to assess the true Combat Power of Martial Saints, not intent on pushing them against overwhelmingly powerful Demon Beasts, causing all Martial Saints to retreat.
For numerous Martial Saints venturing here, they did not, like Duan Gujin, rapidly charge into the fourth level; they selected levels suitable for their cultivation, eliminating Demon Beasts within those levels.
Many Martial Saints, through experimentation, came to understand which level Demon Beasts suited them to slaughter.
These Martial Saints know that the further they advance, the stronger the Demon Beasts they encounter, making it harder to eliminate them, consuming more Primordial Power.
Thus, they choose Demon Beasts suitable for them to slay, allowing them to minimize consumption while accruing the highest points.
Some Martial Saints also entered the fourth level, but those Martial Saints soon realized, like Gu Xiaoyue and her Martial Saint Fourth Realm ally, that their Primordial Power consumption in the fourth level was substantial, barely able to eliminate a Lizard Demon Beast here, and even a slightest slip might cause them to suffer serious injuries, hence choosing to return decisively to the third level, slaying Demon Beasts within.
Many Martial Saints understood that this checkpoint's sole objective was to continuously boost one's score, not blindly advance to the higher levels of the Illusion Demon World.
Nonetheless, the Martial Saints present did not hear the Divine World's visitors suggest benefits upon reaching higher levels.
Therefore, these Martial Saints did not find anything amiss with their thinking.
After slaying two Lizard Demon Beasts in the fourth level, Duan Gujin amassed over seven hundred points.
