Reverse War Surpass Immortal

Chapter 45: Assassin Appears



After he swallowed that Elixir Pill, he felt as if his entire body was on fire, in excruciating pain throughout.

"If possible, I really do not want to have this feeling ever again!"

The Third-grade Elixir, Burning Vein Pill, that he had now refined, was specifically used to open up the third Martial Meridian.

Every cultivator's Martial Meridian structure is different; to open each meridian, there must be separate methods tailored to each one.

Therefore, the Third-grade Elixir, Burning Vein Pill, could only be used to open up the third Martial Meridian and was not applicable to other meridians.

Three days had passed, but Duan Gujin had not succeeded in opening the third meridian. Upon introspection with his Divine Sense, he saw that his third Martial Meridian had already begun to loosen.

"Although I have not yet opened up the third meridian, there are signs that it has started to loosen."

On the third day, he started taking the second Burning Vein Pill and began his second attempt to open the third Martial Meridian.

A night passed without success in opening the meridian, yet he distinctly sensed the third Martial Meridian in his body had become mushy.

"As long as I persist, I will definitely succeed!" Duan Gujin was brimming with confidence.

On the fifth day, he took the final Burning Vein Pill, taking on the third attempt to open the meridian.

The next day, he discovered he still hadn't opened the third Martial Meridian.

"My kidneys! The medicine's potency isn't harsh enough!"

Duan Gujin knew that the inadequate potency of the previously refined Burning Vein Pills was the reason.

Under normal circumstances, one could only take three Burning Vein Pills at most, and he had already taken more than the standard dosage.

Yet having exceeded the dosage without breaking through indicated that he now had to rely on his own efforts to open the third Martial Meridian.

He could no longer use the Burning Vein Pill.

If he were to forcibly use it, he might cause damage to the third Martial Meridian.

Once that meridian was damaged, even if he truly managed to open it, he wouldn't be able to unleash its true Combat Power.

"I just lack an opportunity now!"

Duan Gujin was aware that just using the Burning Vein Pill to open the meridian was insufficient; he needed to adopt extremely forceful measures to open the third meridian within his body.

"What a pity, here at Star Moon Academy they only have a thirty-fold Gravity Cultivation Chamber. If only there was a chamber with gravity over fifty-fold, then I might have a chance to open the third meridian!"

He practiced body tempering in the Academy's thirty-fold Gravity Chamber, but after a night of effort, he still failed - the thirty-fold gravity no longer serving to temper his Body.

After leaving the Gravity Chamber, he planned to return home to look for other ways to open the third Martial Meridian.

Just as he left the Academy and entered a deserted avenue, suddenly, he acutely sensed four different Killing Auras erupt behind him. Two long spears and two longswords attacked from four different directions.

Duan Gujin felt the intense sound of the air breaking nearby; his figure flashed, turning into a streak of light, swiftly dodging to the side.

"Boom!"

A violent explosion sounded instantaneously from the ground, followed by a series of blasts.

Soon, he saw an Assassin gripping a long spear, aiming the spear tip harshly at Duan Gujin's body.

Duan Gujin swiftly dodged to the side, avoiding the assassin's spear thrust.

"Boom!"

The green stones on the ground where he originally stood instantly turned to ash, dust scattering everywhere.

Duan Gujin, seeing the circumstances, flashed his figure once again into an afterimage, evading to the side.

His movement technique was incredibly fast, but even so, facing four Assassins at once proved quite challenging.

Moreover, all four Assassins were a Great Realm higher than him in Cultivation.

Duan Gujin frowned and quickly reached into his storage ring for some Poison Powder, discreetly scattering it as he moved.

This Poison Powder was specially refined for Duan Yi as a safeguard.

He thought he might need it as well, thus he intentionally made an extra amount, keeping plenty for himself, never anticipating he would use it so soon.

The Poison Powder was not colorless and odorless; it had a faint fragrance.

If a supreme master were present, they would have identified the presence of poison in the air.

Although the four Assassins possessed some strength, they were not supreme masters; they merely sensed a faint scent in the air, unaware that it was the Poison Powder released by Duan Gujin.

Four Assassins continuously attacked Duan Gujin from all sides, to their surprise; they never expected that despite their combined attack, they could not get close to him.

At that moment, Duan Gujin utilized Mad Python Boxing, agilely weaving through the Assassins, dodging back and forth from their deadly moves.

However, being outstripped by a Great Realm in ability and outnumbered, Duan Gujin was unable to approach; he could only fight a guerrilla battle against them.

Just when the Assassins thought they could kill Duan Gujin, suddenly, they all felt their Primordial Power flaring up as if ignited.

They immediately realized something was amiss and rapidly moved back to avoid a sneak attack from Duan Gujin.

Quickly, a burning sensation ignited within their soul seas, and their movements momentarily slowed.

"Damn it! We've been poisoned!"

In fact, one Assassin rapidly reacted, and being battle-hardened, he immediately pulled out a Detoxification Elixir from his storage ring.

Though he quickly swallowed the Detoxification Pill, he found its effects lacking.

Just as he was about to switch to another Detoxification Elixir, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his throat and collapsed.

At that moment, Duan Gujin had forcibly taken a treasure sword from one of the Assassins, using it to stab at their bodies.

The Assassins, hindered by the poison, were slow in reaction, and three of them were immediately slain by Duan Gujin cutting their throats.

Duan Gujin did not kill the last Assassin; he intended to keep him alive to find out who had sent them to assassinate him.

Although the Fire Poison Pill had astounding effects, causing a cultivator to lose combat effectiveness in a short time and suffer from intense, debilitating pain, its influence lasted no more than ten breaths.
