However, at the next mont, the assassin felt as if his entire body had been invaded by a powerful force. The Primordial Power within him quickly beca chaotic, and the Defensive Shield he had projected collapsed instantaneously as the Primordial Power went awry.
After the collapse of the Defensive Shield, the powerful Dark Attribute Power then invaded his body.
The assassin's face changed drastically, his heart filled with terror, as it began to pound violently.
Realizing the situation was unfavorable for him, the assassin no longer cared about anything else. He mobilized the last bit of Primordial Power within him to rapidly retreat backward.
At the sa ti, he hurriedly fetched a Spirit Talisman from his storage ring, which could aid his rapid escape.
Monts later, a bright light burst forth from the Spirit Talisman, enveloping his body, and soon turned into a streak of light, carrying him swiftly towards the rear.
The Spirit Talisman was connected to the assassin's spirit. In tis of danger, even if the assassin had lost his Primordial Power, as long as he had not completely lost his Divine Wisdom, the Spirit Talisman could be controlled to fly him a hundred ters away.
Although such a distance seed very short, for him, whose internal Primordial Power was in complete disarray, it was enough to temporarily save his life.
Duan Gujin did not chase after the assassin, as the latter had previously unleashed over a dozen strands of Sword Qi towards him, and he had to quickly dodge the attacks.
His body transford into a bolt of Lightning, darting rapidly to the side, swiftly evading the assassin's Sword Qi.
"What a pity!"
The other three assassins watched the exchange between Duan Gujin and the assassin, and imdiately felt sorry for their fellow assassin.
One assassin rushed forward imdiately, shielding the one who had been struck in the body by Duan Gujin's palm.
"Song Hao, how are you holding up?"
An assassin quickly inquired about the condition of the injured assassin, noting that Song Hao was spitting blood from his mouth, and his body convulsed uncontrollably as if beyond his command.
"Zhang Jieren, I'm fine. You must be careful with that man; his strength is definitely more than just the Martial Sect Realm. I think he is truly of the Martial Emperor Realm!"
Song Hao said solemnly.
"I understand, take so Elixir Pills quickly!"
Zhang Jieren imdiately pulled out so Elixir Pills from his storage ring and handed them to Song Hao to take.
The other two assassins inhaled sharply, they had been injured by Duan Gujin earlier and were still recovering.
Despite having taken Elixir Pills, they had not been fully digested yet, and they needed more ti to recover.
They had initially thought that the four of them being Martial Emperors would have an easy ti against one person of the Martial Sect Realm, but to their surprise, it had turned into a struggle.
The two assassins imdiately began to whisper, trying to co up with a good plan.
"Huang Haitian, that Duan Gujin is so powerful!"
"Yes, we underestimated his strength before! Cheng Mingxuan, we should retreat first, and after we have fully recovered, we will deal with him."
"Your idea is very good!"
"Let's do that!"
The other two assassins imdiately rushed forward to join Zhang Jieren and Song Hao, protecting the two of them and covering their retreat.
"You're running away? Cowards! Co at together if you dare!"
Duan Gujin quickly saw through the four n's sche from a distance.
"Damn it! I'm going to fight him head on!"
Song Hao could not suppress the anger in his heart; he felt that the words "cowards" from Duan Gujin were like a dagger stabbing harshly into his abdon, twisting painfully.
Song Hao's face turned uglier than the color of a liver.
"Song Hao, calm down, don't let him provoke you!"
Huang Haitian, the most robust mber of the team, tried hard to calm Song Hao.
His eyes flickered as he recalled whether Duan Gujin had unleashed an aura indicative of the Martial Emperor Realm when he struck earlier.
Although Duan Gujin had previously defeated the four of them, he had not shown an aura belonging to the Martial Emperor Realm, making Huang Haitian worried that Duan Gujin had yet to use his full strength.
The fact that the opponent had not yet unleashed all his power suggested that he believed the power he had revealed was enough to effortlessly defeat the four of them.
"It turns out he was hiding his strength so deeply!"
Before, he thought that coming here with four Martial Emperors to find Duan Gujin was overkill.
Now, he realized that they had completely underestimated Duan Gujin's strength.
"Luckily, there is only one of him right now. If there were other high-ranked fighters from the Blood Killing Sect here at this mont, we four would have been dood! No wonder those three were defeated by Duan Gujin! Their defeat was not unjust!"
"If possible, I would not want to ddle in these muddy waters!"
The sa thought flashed through the minds of the four people present.
But now, it was all too late.
They judged others by themselves, anticipating that one day, Duan Gujin would seek revenge on them as they were doing now.
If Duan Gujin were just an ordinary Martial Artist, even if he were sowhat stronger than them, they would have accepted their fate.
But they were all aware that Duan Gujin was no ordinary Martial Artist; he was already a Sixth-level Alchemist.
The four of them did not fear Duan Gujin showing up openly to challenge them; what they truly feared was Duan Gujin sneaking Poison into their midst, poisoning them to death.
If that were to happen, they feared they would live a fate worse than death.
"You two retreat to the back first, and recover your Primordial Power as quickly as possible! We two will go forward to block Duan Gujin and prevent his escape! That man is too dangerous; if he were to escape under our watch, it would be an endless threat!"
After a while, Huang Haitian secretly used sound transmission to tell his three companions.
Upon hearing this, the three inhaled a breath of cold air.
After thinking it over, they wholeheartedly agreed with the "endless threat" ntioned by Huang Haitian.
They looked at each other and knew that it was ti to fight with all their might.
If they could not eliminate Duan Gujin now, once he fully spread his wings in the future, they would only be waiting for their demise.
This outco was definitely not what they wanted to see.
Duan Gujin took a deep breath, he had already taken the Ten-thousand-year-old Divine Milk, and he was waiting for the ti.
Seeing the actions of the four assassins ahead, he imdiately understood that they were waiting for their Primordial Power to recover.
"It seems these four people are planning to fight to the death here against !"
His eyes flickered as a thought quickly crossed his mind.
"Should I now return to the Blood Killing Sect or should I first avoid the four of them and then find an opportunity to strike at them?"
He thought for a long while, but seeing that there was no action from the other side, he refrained from acting.
"With the enemy's situation unclear, I'd better wait and see!"
He took another deep breath and decided to quietly observe the changes.
