King of Assassins

The numerous Earth Immortals observing the battle had actually been prepared for this, they all knew Gao Xuan was formidable. But when Gao Xuan’s Sword Light moved, the immense momentum still stirred the spirit and broke souls, causing their minds to waver uncontrollably.

In the grand battle between Gao Xuan and the Polar Star Monarch, the Ten Suffering Bodhisattva, they saw his power but not his Divine Power Transformation.

Only at this moment did everyone realize his swordsmanship was as high as Yuan Qinglian’s, not inferior in any way.

Originally, everyone hoped that Gao Xuan’s swordsmanship was lacking and Yuan Qinglian could surpass him in swordsmanship.

That way, even if he couldn’t kill Gao Xuan, he could at least suppress his momentum.

Now it seems that even Yuan Qinglian may not surpass Gao Xuan in swordsmanship.

The disciples of the Cyan Lotus Sword Sect were even more tense, Yuan Qinglian had always been invincible, never having been suppressed by anyone in the Sword Dao.

Gao Xuan’s Sword Light surged like the Celestial River, completely engulfing Yuan Qinglian.

In their panic, everyone saw a cyan lotus bloom from within the Celestial River.

The surging Celestial River was grand and majestic, yet the cyan lotus stood aloof, possessing a beauty of supreme elegance surpassing all.

As the cyan lotus bloomed, the roaring Celestial River silently dispersed. The dispersing Ming Che Sword Light turned and transformed into a gigantic Water Mirror.

On the Water Mirror, there was also a cyan lotus, identical to the one blooming proudly in the void.

The numerous cultivators observing the scene were somewhat dazed, unable to discern which was the lotus in the mirror and which was the real cyan lotus.

Before everyone could figure it out, the Water Mirror in the void shattered into countless fragments again, along with the lotus in the mirror.

The shattered fragments transformed into endless deep darkness, seemingly intending to completely swallow the cyan lotus.

Yet the cyan lotus remained high above, blooming freely. Its vibrant and noble form was not affected by the deep darkness of the void.

The deep void turned and transformed into a rapidly spinning gigantic black hole.

Endless Primordial Qi was swallowed by the black hole, the Earth Book released huge golden pages from the Primordial Qi.

These pages constructed this world, and now the huge golden pages were shining with Celestial Registers, seeming ready to collapse at any time.

Only then did the numerous observers realize the true power of Gao Xuan’s Sword Techniques.

Earlier, even when the Polar Star Monarch activated the Polar Star God Array, it couldn’t trigger the Earth Book. This shows how terrifying the powers of the current combatants are.

In reality, these cultivators overestimated the intensity of the battle between Yuan Qinglian and Gao Xuan.

The Earth Element Daoist Monarch saw clearly that Gao Xuan was notably inferior to Yuan Qinglian in the Sword Dao.

Faced with Yuan Qinglian’s unparalleled and peerless cyan lotus, Gao Xuan’s Sword Techniques changed repeatedly but were unable to touch Yuan Qinglian.

Forced by circumstances, Gao Xuan unleashed the power of his Sword Techniques to the fullest, using indiscriminate attacks on the world to force Yuan Qinglian.

Yuan Qinglian wasn’t forced out, but instead, the Earth Book was brought out.

The Earth Element Daoist Monarch had every opportunity to activate the Earth Book to trap Gao Xuan, but he abandoned this opportunity.

Even if he had to fight Gao Xuan, he wanted to do it openly and honorably, never by taking advantage of the situation.

Gao Xuan activated the Vortex Sword, shredding all the Primordial Qi of this world, yet still couldn’t break through Yuan Qinglian’s Cyan Lotus Sword.

Instead of being angry, he was delighted, as it was such Grandmasters of the Sword Dao that were worth learning from.

The Celestial River Sword, Abyss Sword, Vortex Sword, these techniques seemed too crude when facing Yuan Qinglian.

There were many refined and profound transformations, waiting to be analyzed and studied when he returned.

But now there was no time for such thoughts, Gao Xuan’s Hongyi Sword turned in his hand, the Ming Che Sword Light suddenly turned into nothingness. Even the Hongyi Sword transformed into a nearly illusory stream of light.

The world was filled with a deep, obscure Deathly Silence Sword Intent. This Sword Intent permeated everywhere, capable of annihilating all life.

The Netherworld Sword, this was something Gao Xuan had comprehended from witnessing the wondrous transformation of life and death in the depths of the Netherworld.

When unleashed at this moment, the Deathly Silence Sword Intent filled the void. The cyan lotus was full of life, yet Gao Xuan used the Deathly Silence Sword Intent to counter life with death.

The cyan lotus remained high above, unsulliable, untouchable, and inviolate.

The Deathly Silence Sword Intent permeated all directions, yet it couldn’t touch the cyan lotus.

Yuan Qinglian was unscathed, but several Earth Immortals observing from outside found themselves in great peril.

Several Earth Immortals showed deep wrinkles, white hair, wrinkled skin, and an aura of decay.

These Earth Immortals were too engrossed in the scene, with high cultivation and their Divine Soul Power even extending into the world.

As a result, they almost died on the spot from the Deathly Silence Sword Intent of the Netherworld Sword. Fortunately, Gao Xuan didn’t target them, and they barely managed to resist after putting in a desperate effort.

However, the domineering Deathly Silence Sword Intent of the Netherworld Sword caused these Earth Immortals to lose several eras of lifespan, suffering heavy losses.

Seeing this, the other Earth Immortals hurriedly withdrew their Divine Thought, no longer daring to delve into the battle.

Ironically, those cultivators with shallow cultivation were unharmed due to the protection of the Earth Book.

Most cultivators couldn’t understand the battle, which was said to be a sword duel but seemed more like a contest of Divine Techniques. There was no visible change in Sword Techniques.

None of the disciples of the Cyan Lotus Sword Sect could comprehend the battle between Yuan Qinglian and Gao Xuan. Everyone could only look to the Earth Element Daoist Monarch.

In the Taiyi Hall, only the Earth Element Daoist Monarch could understand this level of confrontation.

Unfortunately, the Earth Element Daoist Monarch’s expression was calm, revealing nothing of importance.

Yu Ning Daoist also couldn’t understand, but she could consult with the Earth Element Daoist Monarch. "Master, who is winning? Why can’t we see any exchange of blows?"

The Earth Element Daoist Monarch cherished this disciple, explaining, "Yuan Qinglian and Gao Xuan are both of the highest Sword Dao. At this moment, they clash with Sword Intent, without needing actual exchanges. Currently, Yuan Qinglian holds the advantage. However..."
