King of Assassins

Su Fei, whose head had just been blown open, swayed in place once, then suddenly fell backward.

Only then did the gang members come to their senses. They looked at the corpse on the ground, then at the utterly composed Gao Xuan; none of them knew what to do.

Someone reacted quickly. A guy with a head full of green hair raised his arm and shouted, "Kill him to avenge—"

He hadn’t even finished shouting when a gunshot rang out and his head exploded.

Everyone was shocked and terrified. A whole bunch of guns were pointed at Gao Xuan, but no one dared pull the trigger at random. Because Gao Xuan was just too calm.

Gao Xuan smiled at the many gang members. "This is between big corporations, has nothing to do with you. However far you can get, get that far. Don’t stand here getting in the way."

The gang members exchanged looks. Some were unwilling to just run and wanted to gamble on a fight, some had flickering eyes and faces full of fear, and a large number were still hesitating.

Everyone who could stand here was a core member of the gang. They certainly knew how terrifying the big corporations were, and they knew how formidable Su Fei was.

Gao Xuan had killed Su Fei all by himself with ease, especially blowing Su Fei’s head apart right in front of them. That scene was too shocking.

It wasn’t that they hadn’t seen dead people before; it was seeing the always awe-inspiring Su Fei get killed that dealt them an enormous blow.

As the strongest in the Flying Knife Association, Su Fei had always acted arbitrarily. The other gang leaders were nowhere near his weight.

So with Su Fei dead, everyone immediately fell into chaos.

Facing Gao Xuan, who was talking unhurriedly, the many gang members were even more terrified and uneasy. If Gao Xuan didn’t have some background and identity, how would he dare to be this calm?

Gao Xuan looked coldly at the crowd and said, "You still have time to run for your lives now. Once our people arrive, none of you are getting out."

While everyone hesitated, someone suddenly turned and ran first. He provided an excellent example. The others quickly followed.

In the blink of an eye, the whole group had scattered and vanished.

Only after everyone had run off did Gao Xuan squat down unhurriedly to check Su Fei’s body.

On Su Fei’s forearms Gao Xuan found two bracelets, with a matte black surface, smooth and sleek, full of a modern tech vibe.

Rather than bracelets, they were more like metal bracers.

Each bracer had ten Flying Sabers stacked inside. These Flying Sabers were as thin as paper and were launched by electromagnetic energy within the bracer, giving them extremely high speed.

Su Fei’s thrown Flying Sabers had been too fast. Gao Xuan could tell at a glance something was off. Sure enough, he was borrowing the Power of a device.

This pair of bracers was manufactured with great precision, and the specially made Flying Sabers were very sharp, showing a technological level beyond this era.

Of course, Su Fei’s technique with the Flying Sabers was quite good, and his palms had also been modified to channel Electromagnetic Power.

Gao Xuan checked Su Fei’s palms and, sure enough, both had been modified.

Su Fei’s spine and several key reflex nerves in his body had all been modified as well. Combined with those special electromagnetic Flying Sabers, he really was quite formidable.

Unfortunately, he ran into him.

Even if the Celestial Dragon Eye only projected one ten-billionth of its Power, it still wasn’t something these ordinary Modified People could compare to.

Through the Celestial Dragon Eye, Gao Xuan could observe all sorts of subtle changes in Su Fei’s body; if he wanted, he could even watch the fluctuations of Su Fei’s emotions.

Even so, Gao Xuan still couldn’t do much to Su Fei with just an ordinary handgun. In the end, he had to trigger a thin strand of Electromagnetic Power to directly shatter Su Fei’s consciousness.

According to Little Dog’s memories, compared to the Flying Knife Association, the Iron Bear Gang was a bit better. At least they were less crude in how they operated and wouldn’t push things to the absolute limit.

By comparison, it was clearly more suitable to cooperate with the Iron Bear Gang.

Plus, after saving Li Xiaoyu and satisfying his own sense of justice, he was definitely going to be targeted by Su Fei for revenge. Taking Su Fei out also avoided trouble and, at the same time, showcased his strength to Li Zhennan.

This way, Li Zhennan wouldn’t misjudge their respective positions and then take some wrong measures.

Gao Xuan’s plan was to first establish contact with Li Zhennan and use them to search for Yun Qingshang.

If he couldn’t find her in the short term, he’d help Li Zhennan expand his Power. Then he’d connect with higher levels of authority.

Facing a degenerate and chaotic world, there wasn’t much Gao Xuan could do anyway.

Leaving aside the Demon factor, at the root of it all was the corruption of the human heart. Even if a god descended, it couldn’t make everyone abandon evil and embrace good.

Gao Xuan had tempered himself in the Immortal Realm for thousands of years, and his temperament had grown ever more detached.

In his eyes, everything was just the transformations of the Heavenly Dao, everything was the arrangement of impermanent fate.

Everything has its cause, everything has its effect.

Gao Xuan had once seen himself as the savior of humanity; he now felt that had just been his arrogance.

Facing impermanent fate, he couldn’t even fully grasp his own destiny. To talk about saving the world, saving billions of the Human Race, was far too lacking in self-awareness.

This time, he returned with only one idea: to take Yun Qingshang away.

Do what he ought to do, do what he can do.

This time Gao Xuan’s goal was clear, and he acted without the slightest hesitation. Even if his methods right now were clumsy, they were at least practical.

Once he gradually adapted to this world and pushed his Power up to the limit, by then, casually controlling a few big shots and then looking for Yun Qingshang would no longer be difficult.

Gao Xuan put Su Fei’s electromagnetic Flying Saber bracers on his own wrists, counting them as two more handy weapons.

He then found two very nice pistols in Su Fei’s desk, along with a pile of gold bars. Roughly ten kilos or so.

Gao Xuan didn’t stand on ceremony. Gold was always hard currency.

Su Fei had a very bulky old-fashioned safe. After trying a few combinations, Gao Xuan quickly opened it.
