Reverse War Surpass Immortal

"My God! I can't believe the Holy Armor was actually damaged!"

Corpse Eating Poison Man's eyes flashed, and he immediately thought that it must have been Duan Gujin who damaged it.

"How can that young man possess such terrifying strength?"

Corpse Eating Poison Man changed his previous disdain for Duan Gujin, now realizing that he had completely underestimated Duan Gujin's strength before.

"Could it be that this young man isn't really a young man at all, but some old monster?"

Corpse Eating Poison Man recalled various legends he had heard at the Star Pill Association, and he felt that Duan Gujin in front of him could very likely be some old fellow who had transformed his appearance.

With a thought, he knew he really should retreat now.

"I need to retreat immediately. If I don't, I might end up losing my life here today!"

Once Corpse Eating Poison Man realized the situation was unfavorable, he immediately decided to retreat.

Not far from there, Duan Gujin shouted loudly: "Everyone, stop him! Don't let him escape!"

Hearing Duan Gujin's shout, Corpse Eating Poison Man wished he could tear him to pieces, but looking at Duan Gujin's location, he noticed a few more people by his side.

Seeing this, Corpse Eating Poison Man couldn't help but sigh.

From the pale complexion displayed on Duan Gujin's face, he guessed that Duan Gujin had probably used up a lot of Primordial Power just now.

Under normal circumstances, this would be his best opportunity to strike.

However, with several experts now protecting Duan Gujin, Corpse Eating Poison Man found it hard to make a decision.

Corpse Eating Poison Man was unsure about how much strength Duan Gujin still possessed, and he felt it would be better not to take any risks.

Although Duan Gujin really wanted to kill Corpse Eating Poison Man on the spot, his Primordial Power was drained, and he was unable to make a move to stop him.

Moments later, Corpse Eating Poison Man's figure flashed, disappearing into the void.

Although some soldiers and officers tried to prevent Corpse Eating Poison Man from leaving, not only did they fail to stop him, but they were all killed by him as well.

Seeing that Corpse Eating Poison Man had escaped, Seventh Imperial Uncle decided to withdraw the troops, afraid of unexpected incidents.

Shortly after, Seventh Imperial Uncle found Duan Gujin and asked about his physical condition.

After their conversation, Duan Gujin asked Seventh Imperial Uncle to strengthen the guard.

"I believe that assassin just now must have been sent by Cao Dingtian!"

Duan Gujin said confidently.

If Corpse Eating Poison Man was coming directly for him, the opposition should have known from the beginning that he was the enemy who had destroyed the countless Cannibal Wolves.

However, the expression on Corpse Eating Poison Man's face told Duan Gujin that he was unaware of this.

Thus, Duan Gujin deduced that Corpse Eating Poison Man was sent by Cao Dingtian to assassinate them.

"Right! I will do it immediately!"

Seventh Imperial Uncle did not doubt Duan Gujin's words; he believed that the assassin who appeared here must have been sent by Cao Dingtian.

After all, he and Cao Dingtian had already openly opposed each other, and they were in confrontation within the capital city.

If Cao Dingtian did not send an assassin to kill him, he would find it very strange.

Now that Cao Dingtian had sent an assassin, Seventh Imperial Uncle found this behavior to be very much in line with Cao Dingtian's character.

Thus, he hurriedly sent out various experts to intensify the guards and prevent anyone from intruding into the Imperial Mausoleum.

However, his method could only prevent ordinary experts from breaking into the Imperial Mausoleum, but it couldn't stop highly skilled individuals like the Corpse Eating Poison Man.

Seventh Imperial Uncle immediately set up various arrays inside and outside the Imperial Mausoleum and increased the number of guards to an extent that they were almost inseparable.

"The experts here, compared to the assassin we encountered earlier, are still too weak, they absolutely couldn't detect the Corpse Eating Poison Man sneaking in."

Seventh Imperial Uncle felt secretly fortunate in his heart, glad that Duan Gujin had discovered the assassin earlier.

Otherwise, they wouldn't know what would have become of them.

Judging from the assassin's proficiency with poisons, Seventh Imperial Uncle worried that if the assassin were to spray various deadly and undetectable poisons inside the Mausoleum, all the people inside could very likely be doomed, which was his greatest concern.

At this time, Duan Gujin hurriedly sat cross-legged in a secret chamber to recuperate and restore his strength.

A day later, his previously depleted Primordial Power had finally recovered.

Now he had returned to his Peak State, but he didn't feel happy; instead, his brows furrowed even more, sensing an ominous premonition.

He was particularly worried about not knowing what kind of cunning schemes the Corpse Eating Poison Man would use against them.

Compared with Cao Dingtian, Duan Gujin felt that the Corpse Eating Poison Man had endless tricks.

He knew the Corpse Eating Poison Man might be associated with the Star Pill Association, which was a prominent Dan Dan Meeting in Qiankun Country.

He didn't know when the Corpse Eating Poison Man would use poisoning or other methods against them again, which was Duan Gujin's biggest concern.

Duan Gujin hurriedly found Seventh Imperial Uncle and informed him about the Corpse Eating Poison Man.

Moments later, he found out from Seventh Imperial Uncle that they hadn't caught the Corpse Eating Poison Man.

"Duan Gujin, my men did their best! But that Corpse Eating Poison Man ran too fast!"

Seventh Imperial Uncle remarked with emotion.

"Seventh Imperial Uncle, you must instruct your men to enhance their vigilance. That assassin is very skilled with poisons, ensure your men handle their own food and water! If there is anything abnormal in the air around, report it immediately!"

Duan Gujin said earnestly.

Hearing Duan Gujin's words, Seventh Imperial Uncle's brow slightly furrowed.

After a while, he asked, "Duan Gujin, do you know that assassin?"

"Yes, I have heard some about that assassin. He used to be an Alchemist who was very skilled at using various Poison Pills, so we must be wary of him poisoning us."

Duan Gujin answered.

"Alright! I will do as you say right away!"

Seventh Imperial Uncle quickly nodded in agreement.

Duan Gujin had not expected Cao Dingtian to manage to recruit the surprisingly dangerous Corpse Eating Poison Man to work for him, and he suddenly wanted to know why the Corpse Eating Poison Man was willing to serve Cao Dingtian.

"Could it be that they had colluded long ago?"

Duan Gujin didn't know that the Corpse Eating Poison Man's willingness to serve Cao Dingtian was all because of him.

His appearance had rendered all previous efforts of the Corpse Eating Poison Man futile, forcing him to live without means.

And so, Cao Dingtian was now hiring assassins at a high price to eliminate both Duan Gujin and Seventh Imperial Uncle.

Thus, they struck a deal immediately.

Even if someone were to tell Duan Gujin the truth, he might not believe such a coincidental event was possible.

After careful contemplation, Duan Gujin felt certain that there must be a collusion between the Corpse Eating Poison Man and Cao Dingtian.

"Could they have been fellows of the same sect in the past? Otherwise, how would they both be proficient in using poisons?"
