Duan Gujin took a deep breath, readying himself for battle at any moment.

He was well aware that the number of enemies he would be facing far outnumbered him, and the strength of those four assassins was not to be underestimated.

In some way, he had previously caught those four people by surprise with a sneak attack, giving him the upper hand.

However, if those four were prepared for defense and could withstand his swift attacks, he would have no choice but to beat a hasty retreat.

Huang Haitian's expression grew solemn as he realized that Duan Gujin, instead of fleeing, was standing firm and waiting for them, which came as a quite shock to him.

"Could it be that Duan Gujin has no fear and is waiting for reinforcements?"

He was uncertain what to do, but the thought of Duan Gujin having reinforcements made him apprehensive.

"Let's wait until we've recovered our strength!"

A while later, this thought crossed Huang Haitian's mind.

Another fifteen minutes passed, and Song Hao and the others had recovered a significant amount of their strength.

Although they hadn't reached their peak state yet, they had stabilized the Primordial Power within their bodies, now capable of exerting eighty percent of their peak strength.

"Huang Haitian, we've almost recovered. When do we make our move?"

Song Hao suddenly asked.

"Let's do it now!"

Huang Haitian broke out in a sweat on his forehead, having thought that Duan Gujin would have struck at them by now, but the latter had yet to make a move.

Now that their side had regained eighty percent of their peak strength, they had to eliminate Duan Gujin before his reinforcements arrived.

"Let's all go together!"

Huang Haitian immediately ordered the three people behind him to charge at Duan Gujin with him.

A glint of determination flashed in their eyes, knowing they had to quickly finish off Duan Gujin to prevent any future troubles.

Duan Gujin, not far away, was well aware of the assassins' intent from the Killing Aura they emitted.

Initially, he had intended to avoid the brunt of the four assassins' assault.

But after a short while, he changed his mind.

To him, although the strength of each of the four men before him was one Great Realm higher than his, he could tell that they had achieved this through the use of Elixir Pills.

Although they were Martial Artists of the Martial Emperor Realm, they had yet to master the Domain Power that should accompany it.

If a Martial Artist at the Martial Emperor Realm has not yet mastered Domain Power, then assaulting the Martial Saint Realm would be completely out of reach.

The Martial Emperor Realm is where one opens Domain Power, but to control it proficiently, one must endure until reaching the Martial Saint Realm.

And yet, despite being of the Martial Emperor Realm, the four did not radiate any Domain Power in their aura.

Sensing the aura of the four assassins, Duan Gujin believed that defeating them was not impossible.

Seeing the four charging at him, he took a deep breath, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

Three breaths later, his figure flashed like a whirlwind, swiftly sweeping past them.

Whoosh!

He flew through the air, his palms continuously conjuring Void Palms made of condensed Primordial Power.

These Void Palms struck at the four men from various directions, blocking any possible escape paths.

The expressions of the four changed drastically and their brows furrowed deeply. Their glances towards Duan Gujin radiated an icy Killing Aura.

In the next moment, their bodies burst into fierce flames as numerous Fire Dragons shot forth from their palms, roaring like charging dragons and emitting rapid tearing sounds through the air.

The Fire Dragons locked onto Duan Gujin and furiously pounced towards his body.

Duan Gujin's brows furrowed, as he rapidly retreated to avoid the onslaught of the Fire Dragons.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

As he observed a sudden surge of Fire Dragons in front of him, his eyes flashed, and he promptly changed his initial plan.

"It seems I really can't go head-to-head with them!"

The next moment, he once again performed the Heavenly Demon Nine Steps, his body flickered, and he plunged directly into the time-space rift.

"Damn it! That bastard ran away again!"

Huang Haitian and the others sensed a strong spatial disturbance and fluctuations coming from the void ahead, and they knew Duan Gujin had definitely used the Space Escape Technique again.

"Damn it! I am so angry!"

Seeing Duan Gujin escape, Huang Haitian and the others felt like their lungs were about to explode with rage.

But they were too late to pursue Duan Gujin, as the Void Palms rushed at them like a hurricane with a whoosh.

Huang Haitian and the others rapidly dodged to the side, trying their best to avoid the Void Palms unleashed by Duan Gu.

Huang Haitian dodged rapidly a few times, causing two chasing Void Palms to miss their target.

"Great!"

Seeing the two Void Palms behind him miss, he felt a surge of relief.

However, the very next moment, Huang Haitian heard a loud bang.

He turned around and immediately gasped, seeing that Song Hao had already been hit by at least five Void Palms.

Song Hao was making a terribly wretched screaming sound, his face contorted with pain.

"We've been tricked!"

Seeing this, Huang Haitian realized that Duan Gujin had previously locked onto Song Hao among the four of them. Half of the more than ten Void Palms were aimed at Song Hao.

Previously, Song Hao and the others had suffered at the hands of Duan Gujin, and they thought Duan Gujin would, like before, attack each of them with the same Void Palms.

However, Song Hao never expected that this time, Duan Gujin would act so unpredictably, using his moves specifically against him.

"Spurt!"

Having been struck, Song Hao urgently spat out several mouthfuls of blood; his Primordial Power quickly dissipated within him.

Huang Haitian and the others immediately rushed forward, supporting his body and preventing him from collapsing.

After a while, Huang Haitian and the others saw Duan Gujin continually deploy the Space Escape Technique to flee, and they nearly vomited blood in anger again.

"Motherfucker!"

Initially, Huang Haitian thought Duan Gujin was so calm that he would fight to the death with them; he never imagined that after releasing a Big Move, Duan Gujin would again use the Space Escape Technique to flee, which made him feel incredibly frustrated.

"If I catch that Duan Gujin, I will definitely tear him into thousands of pieces! He's utterly despicable!"

Huang Haitian and the others ground their teeth with hatred.

The reason Duan Gujin changed his previously well-thought-out strategy in the end, immediately performing the Heavenly Demon Nine Steps after one strike, was because he saw those four Assassins using various treasures to protect themselves, and their bodies' Primordial Power recovery speed was beyond his expectations.

This change in those four made Duan Gujin realize that all four had some kind of capital or could rely on those capitals to block his attack moves.

Once those four blocked his first fierce attack, it would then become very dangerous for him.

Even though he saw that each of the four had their flaws, they compensated for their weaknesses by relying on some Martial Emperor Realm Dark Weapons and Elixir Pills, leaving him with no opportunity to exploit.

Left with no choice, he immediately changed his previously considered strategy and concentrated his attack on one Assassin.

However, this time, although Song Hao was not seriously injured by Duan Gujin, his current injuries would take at least two hours to recover.

And Huang Haitian and the others couldn't possibly wait here for two hours. All four of them were very aware that Duan Gujin could perform the Space Escape Technique, allowing him to cover several kilometers in a very short amount of time.

Although Huang Haitian and the others had strong Spiritual Power, their Divine Sense Inspection could only explore the nearby scenery within a five-kilometer radius.

Upon realizing they had lost sight of Duan Gujin, they gasped in shock.

The faces of Huang Haitian and the others turned extremely ugly. They had always considered themselves geniuses, invincible in battle, and unbeatable in attack.

However, today, they lost all face.

The four experts of the Martial Emperor Realm couldn't even handle a Martial Sect Realm warrior from a second-class sect. If this news were to spread back to their sect, others in the Holy Fire Immortal Sect would only take them as a joke.
