Reverse War Surpass Immortal

Upon encountering this situation, the guards had already prepared countermeasures.

Their strategy was quite simple: allocate some people to protect the targets of the enemy's encirclement, while the rest would protect those they were assigned to guard, as the assignments were already explicitly defined early on.

Hearing the shout of the Captain from Sky Martial Country, both Meng Yun and Seventh Imperial Uncle became anxious.

The Captain knew he was running out of time; if he missed this opportunity, there might never be a chance to eliminate Duan Gujin again.

The Captain was aware that this young man from Country Gulai possessed terrifying strength, and his future potential was immeasurable.

Should such a person grow strong, he would pose the greatest threat to Sky Martial Country in the future.

To eradicate this future peril, the Captain decided that today, at all costs, he must eliminate Duan Gujin.

Meng Yun and Seventh Imperial Uncle quickly realized why the Captain was so insistent on taking out Duan Gujin—the potential he possessed was simply too frightening.

Originally, Seventh Imperial Uncle had only wanted to take this opportunity to meet his benefactor, Duan Gujin.

At the same time, he had been hurried along by Meng Yun, observing that she seemed to have a fondness for Duan Gujin.

Since Meng Yun was smitten, he naturally used this opportunity to let them get along better,

Perhaps, as they spent time together, they might develop deeper feelings for each other.

Thus, Seventh Imperial Uncle took this chance to play matchmaker for them.

Meanwhile, Seventh Imperial Uncle was well aware of Duan Gujin's limitless potential.

If he were allowed to grow stronger in the future, it would be a tremendous boon to the strength of Country Gulai.

With a powerfully strong individual protecting the country, Sky Martial Country would no longer dare to launch a sneak attack.

Sky Martial Country dared to make a move on Country Gulai because they saw that there were no formidable masters presiding; hence they acted with impunity.

If the time came to hold Sky Martial Country accountable, the higher-ups there would flatly deny everything, claiming that no such atrocity as slaughtering a city ever occurred.

Seventh Imperial Uncle understood very well, without strength, one does not receive fair treatment from others.

If a country lacked strength, it would not receive just treatment from other countries as well.

Duan Gujin saw that he was surrounded by assassins and furrowed his brows tightly.

Although the assassins surrounding him had certain strength, in his view, they were not to be feared; he locked his Divine Sense onto the Captain.

Duan Gujin knew that the assassins encircling him were merely a distraction, and that the real threat would come from the Captain himself.

The hidden weapons released by the Captain were extremely dangerous; should they come into close contact, the Captain would spare no effort in attempting a sneak attack.

Duan Gujin had previously detected a faint fishy odor on the silver needle and knew it meant the needle was coated with potent poison.

Therefore, he had to be on guard for the Captain's sneak attacks.

Compared to other assassins, the Captain's sneak attacks were the real terror.

So, Duan Gujin remained vigilant against the Captain's sneak attacks at all times.

Moreover, the Captain's strength greatly surpassed his own; if he was hit by the Captain's hidden weapons, it was very likely that he would face mortal danger.

Seeing Duan Gujin moving about like a ghostly shadow, elusive before their eyes, but still they could never lock onto his figure.

This infuriated the assassins and also caused the Captain to draw in a breath of cold air.

"How is this young man able to move so ingeniously? With my abilities, I'm actually unable to lock onto him!"

The Captain was shocked, his heart pounding violently.

He understood that in terms of strength, he was far superior to Duan Gujin and had originally thought he could pin down Duan Gujin's movements.

Yet, at that moment, for some reason, he was unable to pinpoint Duan Gujin's position.

After a while, the Captain thought of a plan; he feigned an attack on others, hoping to divert Duan Gujin's attention.

As long as Duan Gujin was successfully distracted, then he would take the opportunity to launch a sneak attack on Duan Gujin and that would be his success.

Amidst being surrounded by the assassins, Duan Gujin, who had released all his Primordial Power, suddenly discovered that his Divine Sense detection ability had become stronger.

At first, he was puzzled by his suddenly enhanced ability and doubted his own sensations.

But after a bout with the assassins, he realized that his Divine Sense inspection ability had indeed become stronger.

"Why is this happening?"

Duan Gujin was perplexed.

During the standoff, suddenly, the Captain aimed his hidden weapons at Meng Yun.

Seeing the Captain rushing towards Meng Yun, Duan Gujin's expression drastically changed.

Even though there were several guards from Country Gulai protecting her side, Duan Gujin knew the hidden weapons released by the Captain were formidable, and those guards would probably have a hard time fending off the Captain's sneaky assaults.

If the Captain recognized Meng Yun as the Princess of Country Gulai, he would think of assassinating her.

Once the Captain succeeded in killing Meng Yun, it would undoubtedly deal a severe blow to the morale of Country Gulai.

Even if Meng Yun was not the princess of Country Gulai, Duan Gujin would not let the Captain kill her.

"I have to save her!"

With a glint in his eyes, Duan Gujin gritted his teeth and decisively released his Demonized Martial Soul, unleashing all his Primordial Power in a burst.

Only in this way could he fully unleash his Primordial Power.

He had discovered during his previous seclusion that if he released his Demonized Martial Soul, his strength would dramatically increase two to three times within a very short period.

In a short time, his latent potential could be greatly enhanced instantaneously.

Those present immediately felt the terrifying pressure emanating from Duan Gujin, and for a moment, they were all subdued by it.

Under that terrifying pressure, their movements slowed significantly.

Even though the Captain's strength was far above that of Duan Gujin, he too was subdued by the sudden surge of pressure from Duan Gujin, and his movements were significantly slowed.

He had already drawn a silver needle from his hand, and that needle was locked onto Meng Yun.

If nothing went wrong, the Captain would shoot the silver needle at Meng Yun decisively after three breaths.

Actually, the Captain was unaware of Meng Yun's identity.

He aimed to kill Meng Yun to capture Duan Gujin's attention.

He knew success was within reach, sensing that Duan Gujin had already noticed his intention to launch a sneak attack on Meng Yun.

Just as he thought his plan was about to succeed, something unexpected occurred: the terrifying pressure that slowed their movements suddenly burst forth from Duan Gujin.

Although the Captain was slowed for only a brief moment, it was enough for Duan Gujin.

He rapidly struck the Captain's body with Meteor Spark, and after a thunderous explosion, he saw a substantial hole pierced through the Captain's body.
