Chapter 1372 - 1169: Playing the Pig to Eat the Tiger
Thinking of this, Duan Gujin decisively performed the Heavenly Demon Nine Steps to distance himself from the figure ahead.He did this to create a sense of tension for the other party; he was probing them.
The more the figure ahead felt tense, the more Duan Gujin knew that there must be a treasure in the shattered Cave Heaven World ahead.
The figure ahead sensed that Duan Gujin had used the Space Escape Technique, and their face changed dramatically.
"He must have detected it!"
Such thoughts crossed the mind of the owner of the figure.
Whether Divine Sense Exploration can be used in the Holy Fire Forbidden Land depends on luck.
The biggest feature of the Holy Fire Forbidden Land is that the Rule Power here has become extremely unstable. Sometimes, a Martial Artist can use Divine Sense Exploration over several kilometers, while other times it's suppressed to within a hundred meters.
The figure initially wanted to chase Duan Gujin, but quickly realized they couldn't use Divine Sense to lock onto his figure.
"I lost him!"
The figure felt annoyed and immediately rushed towards the direction of the shattered Cave Heaven World.
Meanwhile, Duan Gujin's situation was similar; after performing the Heavenly Demon Nine Steps twice, he realized his Divine Sense Exploration range had shrunk, indicating a change in the Rule Power within the Holy Fire Forbidden Land.
He judged that he was several kilometers away from the shattered Cave Heaven World he had been chasing.
What he needed to do now was find the shattered Cave Heaven World as soon as possible.
The shattered Cave Heaven World won't remain as it is now, with different sceneries overlapping.
Once its remaining Divine Power disappears, the shattered Cave Heaven World will completely vanish.
To find fragments of the Cave Heaven World, they must be located within ten days.
Duan Gujin wandered nearby for a while and soon saw several figures outside a volcano's crater ahead.
"It must be them!"
His figure flickered and transformed into a stream of light, rushing over.
"Friends ahead, we found this place; you can't come in!"
A deep male voice saw Duan Gujin and immediately blocked him.
"You found it? Are you sure you were the first to discover it?"
Duan Gujin coldly snorted.
"If you want to die, come on up; if not, get lost!"
At this moment, another deep voice came from the front.
Duan Gujin's eyebrows furrowed slightly; he could judge the opponent's Cultivation Level of Demigod Realm from the aura they emitted.
Given his current realm, dealing with a Demigod Realm Martial Artist would be quite difficult.
But now, he was in the Divine World Forbidden Land, where the Rule Power here was supposed to suppress Divine World Martial Artists who entered.
The stronger the Divine World Martial Artist, the more suppression they face here, making it harder to explode their own Combat Power.
In the Divine World Forbidden Land, a stronger Divine World Martial Artist doesn't necessarily mean they can easily defeat a lower-realm Divine World Martial Artist.
Sometimes, a low-realm Divine World Martial Artist can achieve a counter-kill by controlling their body's power explosion well.
Duan Gujin had some knowledge of the intricacies of the Holy Fire Forbidden Land; even though the opponent in front of him was a Demigod Realm Divine World Martial Artist, he believed that as long as he could grasp the timing, he could defeat them.
"If you want to snatch, just say so!"
Duan Gujin responded indifferently.
"We do want to snatch; what can you do about it?"
That Demigod Realm Martial Artist spoke again.
"Then come on up!"
Duan Gujin extended his Divine Sense outward, sensing the space fluctuations around him.
Indeed, that Demigod Realm Martial Artist made their move.
"You're asking to die!"
The Martial Artist's Demigod Realm Cultivation exploded, but the next moment, they withdrew more than half of it.
"Yang Guo, don't unleash all your Combat Power here; the Rule Power will injure your internal organs!"
Then a voice erupted.
"Got it!"
The Divine World Martial Artist named Yang Guo exhaled heavily; it was his first time unleashing his full strength in the Holy Fire Forbidden Land.
After unleashing his full strength, he immediately sensed the Rule Power's counterattack on his internal organs, almost causing severe damage.
Although he entered the Holy Fire Forbidden Land, he hadn't advanced rapidly.
His purpose here was not sightseeing but to find some rare materials from the Holy Fire Territory.
Currently, most of the Holy Fire Realm is covered by thick ash from volcanic eruptions, and he needed to be very careful to find those rare materials within the ash.
Therefore, his previous progress wasn't fast, and he hadn't exploded his full strength.
He also knew the rules of the Divine World Forbidden Land, such as not exploding your full strength once inside.
Once you explode your strength in the Divine World Forbidden Land, you'll face the Rule Power's counterattack.
But he hadn't tried unleashing his full strength before to see what counterattack he'd provoke.
Duan Gujin's previous words drove him to lose his mind; he wanted to unleash his full strength and, in one fell swoop, easily slay Duan Gujin.
Earlier, he saw Duan Gujin wearing the Eternal Divine Court disciple's uniform, and he didn't want to provoke him.
He is not afraid of Duan Gujin as a person, but he's worried that he might bring retribution from the Eternal Divine Court and the upper echelons of the Divine World.
The current high-level officials of the Divine World have ordered that no Divine World Martial Artists are allowed to fight privately. Once it's discovered that a Divine World Martial Artist has killed another martial artist for treasure, and the upper echelons of the Divine World find out, they will certainly kill the martial artist who seized the treasure.
But now, the Divine World Martial Artist named Yang Guo sees the opponent provoking him, and he no longer has any scruples.
He thinks that as long as he acts cleverly, the Eternal Divine Court and the upper echelons of the Divine World won't know that he killed a disciple of the Eternal Divine Court here.
"He is the one provoking us!"
Yang Guo shouted loudly.
"Yes, I'm provoking you, come and hit me!"
Duan Gujin laughed heartily.
"I will definitely kill you!"
Yang Guo was infuriated, his body flashed and transformed into a stream of light, rapidly charging at Duan Gujin.
Seeing that only one person is charging at him, Duan Gujin breathed a sigh of relief.
If several people had rushed at him, he would have had no choice but to run away.
His current cultivation is only at Breakthrough One Star, and he judged that the cultivation of those Divine World Martial Artists in front had reached the Demigod Realm.
Duan Gujin secretly unleashed his Domain Power, forcibly changing some of the Rule Power nearby.
Of course, he could only forcefully change the Rule Power within a few meters of his body's range.
Beyond this distance, the Rule Power he changed would have no effect.
"Die!"
Yang Guo's body was less than three meters in front of Duan Gujin, and he saw the opponent not dodging, feeling overjoyed.
More than ten Sword Qi instantly shot out quickly from his right hand, rushing towards Duan Gujin's body.
However, the next moment, he found that Duan Gujin was just a blur in front of him, then disappeared without a trace.
"Is it an afterimage or an illusion technique?"
Yang Guo's expression changed dramatically, realizing that in the current Holy Fire Forbidden Land, any Divine World Martial Artist would find it difficult to use Space Escape Technique.
If they forcibly used Space Escape Technique here, they would discover that the space is incredibly unstable.
If a martial artist uses Space Escape Technique in an unstable space, they could encounter all sorts of unforeseen circumstances anytime.
Therefore, the disappearance of Duan Gujin in front of him could only mean that what he saw was either an afterimage or an illusion technique.
The next moment, Yang Guo felt a fierce force rush at him from the left.
He saw a huge fist from the left hit his face, making his nose bruised and swollen.
At the same time, several punches hit his chest, and his body was immediately knocked flying.
At this time, those Divine World Martial Artists exploring the Shattered Cave Heaven saw their companion knocked flying, they were stunned and couldn't quite believe their eyes.
But the next moment, they all thought of a question simultaneously.
"That martial artist was probably pretending to be weak to prey on the strong!"
Those martial artists immediately took out a signal flare from their storage rings, and they fired it.
The next moment, a huge light rose in the sky.
Those martial artists exploring the Shattered Cave Heaven World nearby saw the signal flare light up in the sky, knowing it meant they had to assemble immediately.
So, those martial artists investigating below rushed up at once.
Duan Gujin saw five figures rushing up from below, and the number of martial artists in front became nine.
"One against eight, a bit tricky!"
Duan Gujin looked at the nine martial artists ahead, furrowing his brows.
The Divine World Martial Artist named Yang Guo was already beaten and temporarily unable to operate Divine True Qi unless he had spiritual pills.
"How is Yang Guo?"
"The Divine True Qi in his meridians is very chaotic, I think he suffered an internal injury!"
"What will happen to him?"
"He won't be in danger for now, but he can't fight right now! The technique of the person in front is very vicious, causing Divine True Qi to become chaotic with only one move!"
"Make sure you don't engage him in close combat!"
"Yes, yes, don't engage him in close combat!"
Those martial artists gathered together and immediately discussed their strategy.
Then, one martial artist was tasked with taking care of the injured Yang Guo, while the other martial artists all charged towards Duan Gujin's position.
"Do you want to duel or brawl?"
Duan Gujin saw seven of them rushing over at once, and he had an idea.
"We'll all go up together, don't waste time talking with him! Our time is tight, and we mustn't delay here!"
One martial artist shouted loudly.
He knew that with their overwhelming numbers, they could easily defeat Duan Gujin using their absolute advantage.
"Go!"
The other martial artists wouldn't foolishly challenge Duan Gujin one-on-one, they naturally chose the safest method for them.
Duan Gujin saw them all attacking at once, his body swiftly retreated, he used the Heavenly Demon Nine Steps, tearing open the void in front, and traversing the void, appearing a kilometer away in the blink of an eye.
