King of Assassins

The One-Eyed saw Gao Xuan’s casual demeanor, and rather than being angered, he was pleased. His opponent’s arrogance was exactly his opportunity.

Without hesitation, the One-Eyed activated his Laser Eye. The energy accumulated within the Laser Eye transformed into a crimson beam under the initiation of his spiritual power, and it fiercely shot towards Gao Xuan.

Almost simultaneously, Gao Xuan stepped aside, narrowly dodging the laser beam that streaked past him.

The crimson laser beam dissipated only after extending over ten meters, leaving a deep burnt mark on the floor, and cutting through several gunmen lying unconscious on the ground, severing them in two.

The gunmen were only stunned and not dead. Upon being sliced by the laser beam, a few awoke in pain and started screaming hysterically.

The One-Eyed, however, paid little attention to these people, his palm cold over his failed strike.

The battery within him could only release the laser beam three times, and since the Laser Eye was fixed, the angle of release for the laser beam was also fixed.

Once the enemy was prepared, the threat posed by the laser beam significantly diminished.

The One-Eyed couldn’t fathom how Gao Xuan seemingly predicted the laser in advance and sidestepped it. He hesitated internally, unsure whether to continue fighting or turn and flee.

"Do you have any other tricks up your sleeve?"

Gao Xuan asked: "If not, then I will have to make my move."

Earlier, Old Demon brought too many people. Although Gao Xuan was willing to spar with Old Demon to see what skills modified people had in this world, he didn’t have the chance.

Now, with only the One-Eyed present, Gao Xuan could afford to give his opponent a chance to showcase their skills.

The One-Eyed, thinking Gao Xuan was mocking him, narrowed his gaze and suddenly advanced with his sword.

The modified metal skeleton burst forth with powerful thrust, propelling the One-Eyed forward at an exceptionally fast pace. The sword artifact in his hand transformed into a straight cold light aimed at Gao Xuan.

This high-speed thrust required no fancy techniques, just like firing a gun, as long as the target was aimed correctly.

Gao Xuan sighed internally, finding the person’s swordsmanship to be extremely crude and insufferable.

The golden glow in Gao Xuan’s Celestial Dragon Eye flashed, and a fierce electric light fell from the sky, striking the sword-controlling One-Eyed.

The One-Eyed’s hair exploded, clothes large patches of scorched black. His wind-speed motion paused for a moment.

Gao Xuan seized this opportunity to snatch the sword artifact from the One-Eyed’s hand, then casually flicked it. The sword artifact pierced through the One-Eyed’s Laser Eye, traversing through his head front to back.

The One-Eyed couldn’t even manage a grunt before his brain tissue was cut through entirely by the sword blade, causing him to die instantly.

The One-Eyed collided against the wall and only then did his corpse collapse heavily to the ground.

This confrontation was so brief that even Li Feihong couldn’t ascertain the process.

Only Li Zhennan barely caught a glimpse of Gao Xuan’s sword movement through his Level 4 modified eye.

The more clearly Li Zhennan saw, the more shocked he became.

Gao Xuan again induced electric current, and this time without any blockage, he clearly witnessed the entire process of Gao Xuan inducing the electric current.

Strictly speaking, Gao Xuan had no process when inducing the electric current. He made no moves, no utterance; simply an electric flicker in his eye prompted the electric current.

The discharge was instantaneous, leaving the One-Eyed no chance to defy.

Moreover, Gao Xuan’s released current directly penetrated the One-Eyed’s internal conductive design, causing severe damage to the internal electronic components.

Li Zhennan had encountered a few people with extraordinary power whose release methods required significant preparation. The stronger the power released, the more cumbersome the process.

He had never heard of power released as instantly as Gao Xuan’s. Additionally, Gao Xuan continued the discharge without any signs of fatigue.

From Gao Xuan’s state, it seemed he could discharge at any given moment.

If the discharge was a natural ability, then Gao Xuan’s swordsmanship was entirely inexplicable.

The strike with which Gao Xuan killed the One-Eyed was performed with a casual flick, and the sword’s edge achieved an astonishingly swift thrust, yet the transformation seemed effortless and natural.

Li Zhennan couldn’t categorize what kind of swordsmanship it was, just that Gao Xuan’s every gesture seemed so aesthetically pleasing, like a dance, offering a satisfying visual experience.

Though he had never witnessed such swordsmanship, he knew it had to be an exceptionally brilliant skill.

Such skill would necessitate honing through thousands of refinements to attain such mastery.

Considering Gao Xuan’s background, it was evident he didn’t have that time to practice swordsmanship.

Li Zhennan was increasingly unable to understand Gao Xuan and grew more cautious of him.

Gao Xuan noticed Li Zhennan’s complex expression and realized the latter must have thought deeply about many things.

Yet due to Li Zhennan’s level and intellect, he couldn’t possibly deduce the correct answer.

Gao Xuan had no intention of explaining to Li Zhennan; better for him not to know these things for his own happiness.

Casually sheathing the sword artifact, Gao Xuan remarked, "This is a good sword."

Li Zhennan couldn’t comprehend Gao Xuan’s meaning, only nodding in agreement: "This sword is named Bai Feng and is very renowned."

The One-Eyed wielded the Bai Feng Sword to kill many modified experts; many had heard the sword’s name.

Gao Xuan smiled slightly, "Now this sword changes its owner."

Forcing a smile, Li Zhennan said, "Congratulations, congratulations; Mr. Gao’s swordsmanship is extraordinary, having such a sword in hand only adds wings to a tiger."

"In this world, swordsmanship is but a technique for killing and is of little significance."

Gao Xuan reflected, though being the preeminent Earth Immortal with boundless divine techniques, he aspired to prove the Dao and attain Golden Immortal with the sword.

Arriving in the Star River Cosmos, however, he found himself wielding a sword to kill. It felt like he had taken the lowest path.
