I can rewind time to prevent death

Chapter 298: Chapter 262: Body Swap (Part 2)

Yan Long had been feigning death, but he was merely squinting, carefully observing his surroundings.

It wasn’t until Yan Junze and his two companions were completely near him that he had no choice but to close his eyes, not daring to steal a glance, afraid of being noticed by the others.

However, as a Spirit Cultivator, he was exceptionally sensitive to threats to his life.

A sense of crisis descended in an instant. Although his Semi-Spirit power had been depleted during the earlier combat with Guo Youliang, and it was nearly impossible to use, he had rested for a while. In the moment the crisis descended, though it was strenuous, he naturally triggered his Fake Spirit Body.

The terrifying shadow of the Monster Spirit behind Yan Long quickly appeared, grabbing the fatal slice at his neck aimed at him.

His other hand also caught Zhang Xiaomo’s magnetic knife, preventing her from stabbing into his abdomen.

But even though the Monster Spirit appeared, its power had been greatly diminished from the earlier consumption, and it was about to falter after only a moment.

Although the support was short-lived, Mo Da, lying not far beside him, had already been awakened by Yan Long.

Mo Da swung his ancient sword, Zhang Xiaomo quickly retreated, and the Monster Spirit grabbed the magnetic knife, wresting it away, while Tong De violently withdrew his own magnetic knife, also swiftly retreating, though his knife was not taken by the adversary.

Mo Da stood up, his ancient sword driving the two back with a strike, immediately advancing several steps. The sword whirled, sweeping toward Zhang Xiaomo and Tong De like a sudden violent storm.

Without her weapon, Zhang Xiaomo stumbled back, taking cover behind Tong De, who in turn desperately tried to fend off the attacks with his magnetic knife.

Clang, clang, clang. After only three clashes with the ancient sword, the magnetic knife broke. The ancient sword, unstoppable in its advance, aimed a strike at Tong De’s forehead.

Against Mo Da’s assault, even the combined efforts of the two three-star Exorcists were futile. Of course, Mo Da’s sudden “resurrection” and immediate onslaught contributed to this.

With his knife shattered, Tong De raised the fragment, forcefully positioning it above his forehead.

The next second, the magnetic knife completely fell apart. In desperation, Tong De raised both hands above his head and brought them together, hoping to trap the falling ancient sword between his palms.

However, the thick and sharp blade of the ancient sword instantly penetrated his practically ineffective defense, striking him on the head.

“Fuck, this guy!” Even Yan Junze was startled by Tong De’s inexplicable defensive move. “Are you practicing some child’s kung fu? Putting your palms together to clamp a sword blade?!”

But he quickly came to his senses. Actually, Tong De could have dodged to the side, but Zhang Xiaomo was behind him. If he moved away, she would undoubtedly be struck by the sword. So, in his desperation, the guy came up with the bizarre defense of joining his hands above his head.

Rewind!

Inspired by Tong De’s actions, Yan Junze felt a surge of goodwill toward him at that moment.

Time went back two minutes once again.

Yan Junze looked at Yan Long and Mo Da lying on the ground, now well aware that not only were they in collusion, but they were also both playing dead.

Of course, there was no need for Mo Da to pretend, for he was indeed dead. It was just that Yan Long’s Semi-Spirit Body was also somehow still operational.

In fact, in the previous Rewind, Yan Junze was betting that Yan Long had reached the end of his strength; otherwise, he would not have pretended to be dead here after killing Guo Youliang, with Mo Da’s arm broken.

The reason for the current situation must be that both had been injured. Indeed, upon reflection, to kill Guo Youliang under these circumstances, they were bound to be in a bad state.

Now knowing that Yan Long could still activate his Semi-Spirit Body, they would need to think of another approach.

With this in mind, Yan Junze grabbed Zhang Xiaomo and Tong De by the shoulders, drawing them close, almost head to head, not even looking in the direction where Yan Long lay. He whispered, “I’ve detected that one of these two corpses is just a living person in disguise, and the other, the ancient corpse, is truly dead, and likely very powerful. It’s best not to approach now. My question is, do you have any long-range attack methods?”

“Throw Hidden Buckles as hard as we can,” Tong De blurted out.

“How many do you have?” Zhang Xiaomo asked while secretly reaching into her pocket to feel for her Hidden Buckles.

“Two Chilling, two Incinerate, four Collapse, and one High-Energy Collapse,” Tong De said in a low voice.

Ever since arriving at Mo Family Village, he hadn’t really engaged with any strangenesses, so he had a lot of Hidden Buckles on hand.

Yan Junze turned to Zhang Xiaomo, who said, “I still have one Super Energy Burst, but all the others were used up when I was trapped by the Lantern Woman on the west side of the village.”

As soon as she finished speaking, Yan Junze and Tong De almost simultaneously said, “Don’t use it for now!”

Yan Junze said, “I also have a few Hidden Buckles here, but your Super-Energy Burst is too powerful, so don’t use it unless absolutely necessary.”

“How do you know?” Zhang Xiaomo stared at him in surprise.

Yan Junze chuckled, changing the subject, “Brother Tong, give me the Incinerate Hidden Buckle first. I will throw all the Incinerate Hidden Buckles at the Ancient Corpse later. At the same time, you and Xiaomo should attack the lying thin man, remember to aim for his vital spots. Although he looks like an ordinary person right now, you must use the magnetic glow first, then follow up with the physical attack of the magnetic knife.”

He paused before adding, “If the Ancient Corpse shows any signs of counterattack, I’ll use the Hidden Buckles to suppress it, don’t interfere.”

Tong De looked at Yan Junze with shock, not understanding why he suddenly seemed to have entered a prophetic mode.

Zhang Xiaomo nodded and said to Tong De, “I was like you at the beginning, but it gets better over time because you’ll get used to it.”

Tong De was even more surprised; then a question occurred to him, and he asked, “Why are you going to use Incinerate and not Chilling to freeze the Ancient Corpse? You should know that after transporting the Ancient Corpse back, it will be extremely valuable for research.”

“Using Chilling, you would die a terrible death, believe me.” Yan Junze patted his shoulder, signaling that it was time to act.

Putting aside his astonishment for the moment, Tong De, along with Zhang Xiaomo, moved stealthily towards Yan Long with their magnetic knives in hand.

Yan Junze, on the other hand, stepped forward, holding a total of four Incinerate Hidden Buckles including his own, and targeted the Ancient Corpse Mo Da.

After getting close to Yan Long, Zhang Xiaomo nodded at Tong De, and they both lifted their magnetic knives—one aiming for the chest and the other for the head. They brought them down in unison.

At the same moment, a half-meter-long magnetic glow burst forth, almost touching Yan Long’s body.

A sense of crisis triggered Yan Long, and the shadow of a Monster Spirit quickly appeared behind him. It reached out both hands, each catching Zhang Xiaomo and Tong De’s magnetic knives. However, the blades of the magnetic knives immediately shone with a magnetic glow, colliding violently with the Monster Spirit.

Yan Long was startled, as this already weak Monster Spirit nearly dispersed. Nevertheless, he was very aware that his Semi-Spirit Body couldn’t last long, maybe ten seconds at most, before it would be breached by the magnetic knives, allowing the blades to physically cut him.

At that moment, Mo Da suddenly sat up. However, before he could swing the ancient sword in his hands, Yan Junze rapidly threw all four Incinerate Hidden Buckles at him.

Incinerate ignited upon touching Mo Da. The four Incinerates exploded almost simultaneously, turning Mo Da’s entire body into a sea of fire.

Massive amounts of white steam wildly seeped out as Mo Da instinctively resisted the Incinerate with his internal Full Yin Energy. However, this time Yan Junze burst out with four Incinerates in a row, with flames burning fiercely. Even with Mo Da’s impressive Yin Energy, he couldn’t overcome it in a short time.

But this delay caused Yan Long’s Semi-Spirit Body to suddenly weaken, and the Monster Spirit withdrew to Yan Long’s back, no longer appearing.

The two magnetic knives thundered down, aiming for Yan Long’s neck and chest.

Who would have expected that in the next second, a hand engulfed in flames still wielded the ancient sword with unerring accuracy, knocking away both magnetic knives.@@novelbin@@

Mo Da, his body mingled with flames and white steam, still managed to save the day at the critical moment. He now emitted a burnt and unpleasant odor, clearly burned by Incinerate, yet still free to move.

Yan Junze immediately threw out three Collapses. The Hidden Buckles hit Mo Da, merely causing him to pause for a couple of seconds but failing to push him away.

The ancient sword slashed diagonally at Zhang Xiaomo, the closest target.

Zhang Xiaomo raised her knife in defense, and with a snap, the magnetic knife broke, the magnetic glow dissipated, and the ancient sword chopped at her shoulder.

Rewind!

“Damn, unfazed by the Hidden Buckles!”

Yan Junze’s vision blurred, and he found himself back two minutes earlier, cursing under his breath.

Suddenly, another idea came to him.

There was still plenty of Different Dimension Energy left. If one method failed, he would try another. Even if it meant a war of attrition, he was determined to exhaust the enemy right there.

To Yan Junze, Yan Long, who was lying on the ground pretending to be dead, was as good as a true dead man. No matter what the method, he had to try until he succeeded in killing him this time.

Yan Junze vividly remembered his relationship with Cheng Jingting and how Cheng had treated him in the past.

Since Yan Long could be a teacher and Cheng Jingting his disciple, their malicious intent must be of the same breed. Therefore, Yan Junze, having previously overlooked one ferocious wolf, would not now let go of this fierce tiger.
