If they couldn't escape quickly, their only fate would be death.

Despite the assassins' extremely fast escape, they saw a lightning bolt appear behind them.

Wherever the lightning bolt passed, the void exploded with a thunderous burst.

Hearing that thunderous sound, the two assassins' hearts trembled violently with fear.

They hurriedly sped up, just wanting to escape from Duan Gujin immediately.

Only now did they realize they had completely underestimated their opponent's strength, and they found themselves in an extremely dangerous situation.

Roar! Roar!

The two assassins suddenly heard a dragon-like roar from behind, their complexions drastically changed, and through Divine Sense, they quickly saw two Thunder Dragons lunging at their bodies.

The two assassins were so scared that their souls nearly scattered; they wished their parents had given them an extra pair of legs to escape their current predicament right away.

One assassin noticed that Duan Gujin was lunging towards him, and sweat beads the size of soybeans instantly formed on his forehead.

"Damn!"

Realizing he was being chased, the assassin's mind moved quickly, and from his waist, he drew out a longsword.

That was an Earth-level Middle-grade Dark Weapon that he had found on a target he had previously killed.

Coveting the longsword, he didn't hand it over to the assassin organization but kept it to himself.

Because the longsword belonged to the target, if the assassin organization found out, that assassin would undoubtedly be severely punished.

Had he not been pushed to his limits, the assassin would certainly not have used the longsword!

With a thought, the Primordial Power he infused into the longsword burst forth. Under his Divine Thought's control, the longsword, like a poisonous snake, swiftly lunged at the two Thunder Dragons behind him.

Seeing this, Duan Gujin slightly frowned; he saw that the longsword contained a powerful Array Power and immediately judged it to be an explosive-type longsword.

With a thought, he once again gathered Primordial Power in his body, operating the Extreme Thunder Dragon.

Within less than ten breaths, two arm-thick Extreme Thunder Dragons appeared on his right hand.

A thunderous boom sounded, and he saw a powerful spatial fluctuation and chaos in the void ahead, immediately judging that the two Extreme Thunder Dragons must have perished along with the strong Array Power of the opposing longsword.

He knew that on the Jiuzhou Continent, there must be many unexpected Profound Weapons.

Some Profound Weapons are used to attack the enemy, and some are to perish along with the enemy's power.

He judged that the longsword unleashed by the assassin was meant to perish along with the enemy.

That assassin, seeing his shot longsword stopping Duan Gujin's two Thunder Dragons, was ecstatic.

However, the next moment, he saw Duan Gujin's body rapidly rushing towards him, along with two Thunder Dragons in hot pursuit.

His complexion drastically changed; he knew he had no more Profound Weapons left.

All he could do was to speed up his escape, hoping to shake off the pursuit of Duan Gujin behind him.

However, less than ten breaths later, he sensed a crackling sound from behind, and a cold sweat immediately broke out on his back; he quickly realized that the two Thunder Dragons had likely arrived.

With Divine Sense outward, sure enough, he saw two Thunder Dragons following closely behind him.

Although he didn't know they were Extreme Thunder Dragons, the longsword he had launched had already perished along with the two Thunder Dragons, so he knew those Thunder Dragons were not ordinary.

His body flashed, trying to dodge to avoid the frontal onslaught of the Thunder Dragons.

However, he didn't expect that the two Thunder Dragons would explode in the void, immediately blasting his body away.

Seeing the body of the assassin being blown away, Duan Gujin finally breathed a sigh of relief; his body flashed and he rapidly charged forward, swiftly sealing all the acupoints of the assassin, leaving him unable to move.

Afterwards, his body flashed, turning into a streak of light and rapidly rushed towards the other assassin.

His movement was incredibly fast; even though there was a twenty breaths interval with the other assassin, his Divine Sense locked onto him.

No matter where the assassin fled to, he could pursue to that location.

The other assassin, seeing his companion defeated by Duan Gujin and his meridians sealed, his face pale as death; he didn't want to end up like the previous assassin.

The other assassin ran at full speed, dodging Duan Gujin's pursuit as much as possible.

Duan Gujin took a deep breath; he didn't kill the previous assassin because he wanted to spare his life in order to extract information from his memories about who had instructed them to kill him.

In terms of strength, the assassin who had been blown away by the two Extreme Thunder Dragons and rendered immobile was definitely not his match; he could easily defeat him.

However, at this moment, Duan Gujin suddenly felt a strong spatial fluctuation in the nearby void, his expression drastically changed, and he immediately readied himself for a fight.

His Divine Sense went out, carefully surveying the surroundings.

After a while, he detected that the assassin whose meridians he had sealed was killed by a tiny hidden weapon, like a silver needle.

And the assassin who ran quickly suddenly fell heavily, his Divine Sense detecting a very strong spatial fluctuation nearby, which he found was caused by the air explosion sound generated from the friction of the hidden weapon with the air.

He couldn't judge how strong the enemy was, only that their appearance at this time was somewhat unusual.

His brows deeply furrowed, his body rapidly returned to Yan Dapang's side; he didn't want the other party to target Yan Dapang.

"Brother Yan, there's danger here; prepare for combat!"

Duan Gujin urgently transmitted to Yan Dapang, telling him to prepare for battle.

Upon hearing Duan Gujin's words, Yan Dapang immediately readied himself for combat.

They extended their Divine Sense, meticulously investigating every single movement in their vicinity.

"How are those two assassins?"

After a while, Yan Dapang secretly transmitted his voice asking.

"They are dead, not by my hand, but by someone else!"

Duan Gujin replied.

Upon hearing this, Yan Dapang suddenly realized, "So there was someone planning to kill and silence them!"

"Yes!"

Duan Gujin's eyes flickered as he pondered why the assassin lurking in the shadows didn't attack him.

He released his Divine Sense, intending to locate that assassin.

However, after quite some time, he still hadn't found the assassin.

"It appears that the assassin must have left!"

Once he confirmed there were no suspicious targets nearby, he and Yan Dapang approached the body of the assassin whose meridians he had sealed.

He saw that there was something resembling a silver needle in the assassin's throat. Upon inspecting the silver needle, he discovered a very intricate mechanism inside it.

He examined the mechanism and found that if he triggered it, poison liquid would be released.

Understanding this, he was certain that the assassin had been killed by a more professional assassin!

He used his Divine Sense to inspect the assassin's corpse but couldn't find any clues on it.

He immediately took Yan Dapang to another assassin's body. After inspecting that assassin's body, he also found no clues on it.

He noticed that the wounds on the second assassin were exactly the same as on the first.

"It seems likely to be the work of the same person. Who could be sacred enough to want me dead? If the person behind the scenes wants to kill me, why haven't they made a move themselves?"

This doubt flickered through Duan Gujin's mind quickly.

"We must leave this place immediately!"

Duan Gujin thought that the assassin probably used some covert method to remain hidden and planned to strike when he was unaware.

At the same time, he speculated that the assassin might not be good at close-quarters combat, meaning their true combat power wasn't that strong. There was a high possibility that the assassin was better at hiding, and once they revealed themselves, they would have to retreat immediately.

Otherwise, they would be no match for him.

If the enemy was out in the open, Duan Gujin might not be afraid.

But if the enemy was hidden, and he still couldn't find out who they were or their motive, such an enemy would be the most terrifying.

Impossible to guard against!

"Brother Duan, don't you have a way to deal with that enemy? I know you can perform the Heavenly Fox Clan's secret methods, I've heard from others that the Heavenly Fox Clan's secret methods are very powerful!"

Yan Dapang said.

Upon hearing this, Duan Gujin slightly shook his head and said, "Most of the Heavenly Fox Clan's secret methods are used to bewitch the enemy's Divine Soul. Once I cast such an Illusion Technique, it will consume a vast amount of my Spiritual Power!"

His eyes suddenly blazed with intensity. He had not tried to deploy the Heavenly Fox Clan's secret method before because it required a significant outlay of Spiritual Power.

When encountering an enemy, he was accustomed to using his fists to send the opponent running away or to defeat them first. Then he would use the Divinity Transformation Pill to weaken the enemy's will, making them defenseless, and forcibly extract their memories.

Basically, as long as the enemy fell into his hands, he could search their memories to find out what he wanted to know.

He had not liked using the Heavenly Fox Clan's secret methods before. Although there were many mysterious aspects to the Heavenly Fox Clan's secret methods, deploying them required a considerable consumption of Spiritual Power.

Before reaching the Martial Saint Realm, even with strong Spiritual Power, Duan Gujin would have struggled to bear such intense consumption of Spiritual Power.

But now that his cultivation had broken through to the Martial Saint Realm, he felt he could deploy the Heavenly Fox secret method.

His mind raced, and he immediately recalled a commonly used Illusion Technique mentioned by Miao Yu.

Since this Illusion Technique was specifically designed to confuse the enemy for a short duration and make them have illusions, it was known as the Illusion Illusion Technique.

"It seems I can't rely solely on direct and tough confrontation with the enemy; I should use other methods to deal with them!"

His eyes flickered. He understood that he needed to deploy different Martial Skills to deal with different enemies.

If he had used the Illusion Illusion Technique earlier to make those two assassins have illusions, he might have been able to spare one or both of the assassins' lives. Then he could feed them the Divinity Transformation Pill to weaken their will, instill fear in their Divine Souls, and forcibly extract their memories.

Sometimes, when one needs to adopt a craftier method, they must do so.

He took a deep breath. Once he realized there was a flaw in his strategy against his enemy, he was prepared to change it immediately.

He quickly practiced the Illusion Illusion Technique. After a while, he knew how much Spiritual Power it would take to execute the Illusion Illusion Technique once.

"If I push the Illusion Illusion Technique to its limits, I can continuously cast it three times before my Spiritual Power is completely exhausted. If the enemy's strength isn't strong, I don't need to push the Illusion Illusion Technique to its limits! If the enemy is approximately five meters away from me, then I can cast the Illusion Illusion Technique five times!"

He calculated for a while and then determined the most suitable combat strategy for himself based on how far the enemy was, whether he needed to push the Illusion Illusion Technique to its limits, and many other factors.

"So where shall we go now? Shall we go back to the Heaven Stealing Immortal Sect or continue moving forward?"

After a while, Yan Dapang asked.

"We continue moving forward. Meet force with force, and surmount obstacles with the proper measures! We just need to be cautious!"

Duan Gujin said indifferently, unfazed by the possibility that the enemy lurking in the shadows might launch a sneak attack on him.
