King of Assassins

Chapter 366: Sword Conceals Hundred Rivers


Before the battle, Qin Xuan exuded an air of immense majesty, like an emperor who ruled the world.

As it turned out, as soon as the fight began, Gao Xuan smashed him to pieces with a single sword stroke, and buried him right there.

This stark contrast left many of the talented observers in disbelief.

Even more unacceptable was Gao Xuan's overwhelming strength.

Qin Xuan was a Golden Middle-tier Powerhouse, among the best of his level.

In the ranking of all powerhouses in the Alliance, no matter how you ranked them, Qin Xuan should easily be in the top one hundred.

Talents like Yuan Wuxian and Qin Jian were confident, but Qin Xuan was already at the limit of what they dared to hope to achieve.

Gao Xuan was younger than them, how could he be stronger than Qin Xuan?

From the video footage, it seemed Gao Xuan didn't even use any extraordinary Marvels.

Such cultivation, at such a young age, truly can be called unprecedented and awe-inspiring throughout history.

Therefore, Gao Xuan participating in the Sword Dao finals was really bullying others.

The most tragic was Hodder, who was killed on the spot by Gao Xuan.

At that time, the mainstream opinion was that Gao Xuan accidentally killed Hodder because he couldn't control his Sword Qi; it was considered a complete accident.

Even most of the group of talents thought so. They believed that Gao Xuan had used rare Marvels and had difficulty controlling them, resulting in the tragedy.

Now it seems, Gao Xuan can effortlessly control Sword Qi at million levels. Even a powerhouse like Qin Xuan didn't notice anything unusual.

Hodder's death was completely intentional by Gao Xuan.

Fortunately, Jin Yutang was smart enough not to step into the field. Otherwise, he, too, would have ended up dead on the battlefield.

These talents were smart people, and they quickly figured out the key points.

Towards Gao Xuan, this group of people felt genuine awe.

Gao Xuan is only nineteen years old, how could he be so cunning, so sinister, and so ruthless.

However, Liu Po and his group couldn't quite understand the battle situation.

Not only Liu Po and his group, even Song Muyang couldn't understand. Watching videos loses too many details; it only allows one to see an image.

Things like changes in Sword Qi and Sword Intent, tactical shifts between the two sides, and subtle emotional changes were all invisible.

Liu Po, who had the thickest skin and was also clever, cautiously said to Song Town, "Sir, we don't understand the battle. Could you explain it to us juniors?"

Song Town glanced at Liu Po with a half-smile. This kid lacked cultivation but had a certain audacity.

Such a person could use interpersonal skills to achieve things. His background was good, and he had good prospects among the noble families.

Unfortunately, this is a world where personal martial power has no limits.

The strong must ultimately possess supreme power to have enough ability to dominate others. Just relying on interpersonal skills is useless at the highest level.

Therefore, Gao Xuan was far more important and valuable than Liu Po, even though he came from a humble background.

Song Town couldn't help but feel a little regretful that Gao Xuan was unwilling to marry into the Song Family.

Gao Xuan is only nineteen years old, and at this rate of growth, he could truly become the number one in the Alliance in the future.

By then, he could command the entire Alliance with just his martial power. What kind of prestige would that be?

But now, Gao Xuan was on the wrong path; he had greatly offended the Qin Family. If he killed Qin Xuan, things would get even more complicated.

Those top-tier Golden Powerhouses in the Qin Family were more powerful and dominant. They would definitely not give Gao Xuan time to grow and would do everything in their power to eliminate him.

Other noble families would also give face to the Qin Family and wouldn't shelter Gao Xuan.

Moreover, many noble families would also find Gao Xuan threatening. If they cross paths with Gao Xuan, a conflict would likely occur.

It didn't matter if Gao Xuan killed Tifeng, but killing Qin Ken had made the road narrower. By rejecting his marriage proposal, he had essentially cut off all paths.

Song Town kept the group of talents to observe the battle to show a stance to the major noble families—Gao Xuan had nothing to do with the Song Family, and the Song Family would not get involved in Gao Xuan's affairs.

Of course, Song Town wouldn't help Qin Xuan take action either.

The Qin Family is aggressive and always thinks about dominating the Alliance. None of the major noble families like the Qin Family; they are all happy to watch the Qin Family's disgrace.

Therefore, Song Town was willing to provide a simple explanation to Liu Po and the others. This group of talents would all become the backbone of the noble families in the future; making a connection was nothing but beneficial.

Song Town said, "Just now, Qin Xuan used the Emperor Qin's Six Harmonies Sword, relying on his Source Power Cultivation being far superior to Gao Xuan's to unleash the Sword Domain. However, Gao Xuan's Source Power Cultivation was not inferior to Qin Xuan's.

"Gao Xuan broke the surface by attacking a point, seriously injuring Qin Xuan. This battle was one where Gao Xuan anticipated the situation and executed his tactics brilliantly. As for swordsmanship, it is actually secondary..."

With his sharp eyes, Song Town could not grasp too many details, but he understood the battle clearly.

His offhand explanations had already clarified the most critical points of the battle.

Liu Po and the others were smart, and they quickly understood.

Ultimately, it was because Qin Xuan was careless and thus seriously injured by Gao Xuan.

Qin Jian's face was the most unsightly. Although he and Qin Xuan were several generations apart and not particularly close, he genuinely admired Qin Xuan.

He couldn't help but ask, "Sir, how is my elder?"

Song Town smiled, "Don't worry, he won't die. That kid from the Qin Family is incredibly tough. Whether the buck stops with him or not is still hard to say."

He added, "The rank of Gao Xuan's Sword Artifact is very high, half a rank higher than the Qin Family kid's Dragon Abyss Sword. Impressive."

Song Town had lived for nearly a thousand years and had only seen Top-Grade Sword Artifacts twice. The Sword Masters of those two were both formidable top-level powerhouses.

How did Gao Xuan, at such a young age, obtain such a Top-Grade Sword Artifact?

The style of this Sword Artifact clearly showed it was made by an Alliance Master Craftsman. One could only wonder what kind of fortuitous encounter Gao Xuan had to enhance the Sword Artifact to this level.

More importantly, Gao Xuan was impeccably compatible with the Sword Artifact. From the Spirit Core to the swordsmanship and Sword Intent, it was all seamlessly unified.

Gao Xuan's ability to seriously wound Qin Xuan with one sword was half due to the Sword Artifact's credit.

The Qin Family had deep foundations; a powerhouse like Qin Xuan must have other powerful Marvels. This battle had just begun.

Song Town's commentary was just a matter of a few words, and the buried Qin Xuan moved.

The earth layer suddenly exploded, and Qin Xuan, in black battle armor, was already floating in the air.

The previous strike heavily injured Qin Xuan, but his black battle armor was spotless, without any visible signs of damage.

Biochemical battle armor has regenerative cells, and as long as Source Power is continuously injected, it can quickly restore to its best state.

Seeing the battle armor on Qin Xuan, Song Town knew that he had already regained his power.

Qin Xuan also sensed Song Town's spiritual fluctuations and suddenly looked up.

Several satellites two hundred kilometers above the planet simultaneously exploded into countless fragments.

The live broadcast was thus terminated.

Observers like Liu Po were all filled with regret, such an exciting battle, why did it have to end?

They all despised Qin Xuan, wondering if he couldn't afford to lose. He destroyed the satellites just after losing one move. How boring.

A dignified Middle-tier Gold powerhouse, yet he shows no demeanor of a master.

No matter what Liu Po and others thought, it couldn't affect Qin Xuan.

Without satellite broadcasting, Song Town didn't want to entertain this group of youngsters anymore. He waved his hand, saying, "You all go back and rest."

Liu Po and others were bewildered; they didn't want to leave. Even if they couldn't see the battle scene, Song Town could provide some commentary.

Even if Song Town didn't commentate, at least he should tell them the result of the battle. What does it mean to send them away like this?

But since Song Town spoke, no matter what thoughts they had, they dared not say much more. They all obediently left.

Except Qin Jian did not leave. He said to Song Town, "My elder is in combat, I cannot just leave."

Song Town nodded, leaving Qin Jian was quite reasonable.

Song Yunxi and Song Muyang also did not leave. They strongly wanted to know the result of the battle.

Song Town didn't say anything else; family juniors naturally had privileges.

At this time, Qin Xuan was already in combat with Gao Xuan, and Song Town had no mind to commentate.

Qin Xuan learned from the last lesson, using Emperor Qin's Six Harmonies Sword magnificently and powerfully, with each sword technique cautious and tightly controlled.

Gao Xuan's Water Heaven Sword was long and agile, the two entangled in a stalemate for a moment.

This battle was much more intense than the previous one.

The two Golden powerhouses were in close combat, with sword techniques changing hundreds of times instantly, each move heavy with changes.

Their movements were extremely fast, moving over the planet's surface like phantoms.

The asteroid had no air resistance, both Golden powerhouses reaching speeds of about ten thousand meters per second.

Even if the satellites weren't destroyed, the high-definition video couldn't capture normal combat scenes. At most, only some blurred dynamic photos.

Song Town, watching aside, felt the battle was incredibly exciting. Both displayed their abilities. Every move's change was powerful and skillful, without flaws.

With hundreds of years of cultivation, Qin Xuan having this level wasn't too surprising. Gao Xuan, at only nineteen, had superb swordsmanship, which was truly amazing.

Moreover, Gao Xuan gradually gained the upper hand.

This wasn't any clever tactics, nor did Gao Xuan use tricks. Gao Xuan's advantage was entirely because his swordsmanship was superior.

Emperor Qin's Six Harmonies Sword was extremely domineering, yet completely suppressed by the Water Heaven Sword.

Qin Xuan could only advance cautiously, heavily fortified, using the sword as a fortress.

Gao Xuan's offensive grew stronger, the Water Heaven Sword like a long river flowing, a mighty tide.

As if hundreds of rivers converged into the sea, descending, engulfing everything.

Gao Xuan's momentum was established, striking with the sword exploiting the great momentum.

With Qin Xuan's ability, he had no way to avoid it. He could only cross his sword and resist.

Embracing the Hundred Rivers Thousand Seas Sword of Firmness, heavy and turbulent, with endless changes.

Even the Dragon Abyss Sword couldn't withstand the power of the Hundred Rivers Thousand Seas Sword of Firmness.

Qin Xuan's body sank suddenly, the ground collapsing into a huge pit. Qin Xuan's face was pale, and his sword-holding hand was shaking.

The semi-transparent silver face armor couldn't block Gao Xuan's face, Qin Xuan could clearly see Gao Xuan's exposed smile.

The slightly curled mouth was slightly mocking, slightly sneering, slightly joyful.

Strangely, Qin Xuan actually understood all the meanings expressed by Gao Xuan's smile.

Qin Xuan didn't even have time to get angry before Gao Xuan's next strike fell. Oppressed by Gao Xuan's sword momentum, Qin Xuan had no choice but to raise his sword and resist again.

The dual swords collided, the Dragon Abyss Sword trembled violently, and the red gold sword light seemed on the verge of shattering.

Qin Xuan was rocked by the opponent's Sword Qi, his organs churning, his vision darkening, and the boiling Source Power inside him was about to explode.

Gao Xuan used Spiritual Power to say to Qin Xuan: "Old man, you're about to die, while you still have some time, do you want to make a last confession?"

He then said: "Never mind, you've committed so many bad deeds, you wouldn't finish confessing in just a few years."

Qin Xuan didn't get angry, being too weak to feel rage. Gao Xuan's sword contained the Hundred Rivers Thousand Seas, its strike naturally imbued with endless momentum. Now he couldn't withstand Gao Xuan's sword nor escape.

At this moment, only deep fear filled his heart. Gao Xuan not only had stronger Source Power Cultivation than him, but his Sword Skill Realm also surpassed him. How could such a terrifying young man exist in the world? It was completely unreasonable!

Gao Xuan didn't wait for Qin Xuan's answer, as the third sword strike fell once more.

Qin Xuan raised the Dragon Abyss Sword to block again but was directly suppressed by the Hundred Rivers Thousand Seas Sword of Firmness.

With Qin Xuan's hands weakened, the Dragon Abyss Sword was shaken open, and the Hundred Rivers Thousand Seas Sword of Firmness followed through, slicing Qin Xuan from head to top into two halves.

Endless Sword Qi erupted from the Hundred Rivers Thousand Seas Sword of Firmness, blasting Qin Xuan's halved body into a large shower of pale golden blood mist.

Gao Xuan stroked his sword and muttered to himself, "Is it over?"
