Everyone was looking at Gao Xuan, and each person's eyes conveyed one meaning: This kid is crazy!

Gao Xuan shook his finger, "Show them the swords."

Yu Fei Sea understood immediately, and he threw a large pile of Sword Artifacts that he had carried on his back onto the ground.

These Sword Artifacts were carefully selected by Gao Xuan from his spoils of war. Most of them were Black Iron Sword Artifacts, and there were five Bronze Sword Artifacts. There was also one Silver Sword.

This Silver Sword lacked the proper method of cultivation and did not display a high level of Source Power. However, it was still a Silver Sword.

Everyone standing there were top swordsmen, and none of them were unfamiliar with swords.

A pile of top-grade Sword Artifacts was laid on the ground, and everyone could see the extraordinary nature of these weapons.

The crowd was once again stunned; were these really Gao Xuan's spoils?

It was very clear that Gao Xuan must have killed numerous swordsmen to collect so many top-grade Sword Artifacts.

Gao Xuan was quite satisfied with the crowd's reaction and said, "I won't hide it from you all; these are the trophies I've gathered along the way."

Even though the crowd had guessed it, hearing Gao Xuan say it out loud was still shocking.

They were all top swordsmen, and they understood very well how difficult it was to achieve this.

Gao Xuan continued, "You are not my opponents. Being killed by me for nothing is meaningless. Just put down your weapons, and the Sword Assembly will be over."

The crowd was full of skepticism, even Zichuan Fragrance had a face full of doubt. They did not trust Gao Xuan, and no one was willing to put down their swords.

However, Gao Xuan's bold words suggested great ability, yet no one wanted to step forward and confront him.

The top swordsmen standing here were all smart people. Even if influenced by the Blood Dragon Cave, they might have stronger combat desires, but they wouldn't lose their reasoning.

Those who lost their minds didn't have much chance to enter here.

The silence of the crowd made the atmosphere a bit awkward.

Yu Fei Sea stepped back again; he wasn't afraid of anything but blood splattering on him.

Gao Xuan sighed softly, "You're not willing to surrender, nor do you dare to fight. This puts me in a difficult position.

"If I draw my sword directly, it seems like I'm bullying you."

Gao Xuan didn't mind killing, but he wouldn't engage in meaningless slaughter.

Those who could stand here were the top swordsmen of Purple Dragon Star. They were considered the elites of humanity.

His goal was just to win the championship; killing these people unnecessarily was not required.

To be honest, Gao Xuan didn't care about these swordsmen. His attention was on the Alien God.

Different levels, different visions, different pursuits.

While the group of swordsmen was still thinking about how to compete for the championship, Gao Xuan was already wondering how to give the Alien God a slash, carving off a piece of meat if not plucking a feather.

The silence didn't last long, and the blood mist in the underground altar's space suddenly became intense. The blood mist outside surged towards the center like tide after tide of blood.

In the Void, strange whispers echoed, appearing faintly. They resonated continuously in everyone's mind.

What Gao Xuan heard was not whispers, but a beast-like shrill howl.

The Hongyi Sword in his hand was stimulated by this Spiritual Power, making the blade flicker like the surface of a lake under a strong wind.

Gao Xuan had killed so many people along the way, all the Essence Blood Source Power was given to the Hongyi Sword.

With such nurturing from so much Essence Blood Source Power, the previously ordinary iron Hongyi Sword had forcibly developed a Sword Spirit.

However, this Sword Spirit was essentially induced by the Alien God Law, establishing a subtle connection with the Alien God.

At this moment, with the Alien God's Spiritual Power fluctuating strongly, the Hongyi Sword began to become active.

However, in the end, the Hongyi Sword was just a Sword Artifact. The Sword Spirit it cultivated had no wisdom, only a survival instinct like plants.

The Alien God's Spiritual Power, no matter how strong, had limited influence on the Hongyi Sword. It was even less capable of affecting Gao Xuan.

However, the numerous swordsmen present weren't as relaxed. Along their way, these swordsmen had more or less killed people and absorbed some Essence Blood Source Power.

Zichuan Fragrance and the Long Brothers were the strongest, having killed more people and absorbed more Essence Blood Source Power. At this moment, their eyes were blood-red, veins on their temples bulging, and their faces appeared ferocious.

Fortunately, Zi Xiangchuan and the others were somewhat prepared; although they were somewhat out of control, they could still hold themselves in check.

But not all swordsmen could control themselves. Suddenly, a swordsman drew his sword and slashed fiercely at Gao Xuan.

This swordsman's eyes were blood-red, and his skin turned a crimson color, even the Sword Qi he generated appeared red.

The crimson Sword Qi transformed into a long sword over ten meters long, slashing down from above with a domineering force.

Gao Xuan could sense that this swordsman had already lost his sanity, driven solely by the instinct to fight. He merely wanted to occupy the altar's central position, without considering who his enemies were.

Moreover, most of the swordsmen were showing noticeable signs of going out of control. Stimulated by that swordsman's Sword Qi, they all drew their swords almost simultaneously, attacking Gao Xuan.

The only ones maintaining calmness were Zichuan Fragrance, the Long Brothers, and Yu Fei Sea.

Yu Fei Sea hadn't killed anyone and had taken the Celestial King Heart-Protecting Pill, which allowed him to maintain some semblance of calm. Even so, his heart was incredibly agitated, and the more he watched Gao Xuan's back, the more annoyed he became. Chapter source: * (*).

Thinking about being Gao Xuan's lackey all along, he, a dignified swordsman, couldn't stand such humiliation. He ought to kill Gao Xuan with one strike to wash away the disgrace.

The thought grew stronger, and Yu Fei Sea reached for the sword hilt at his waist, with the killing intent in his eyes becoming heavier.

Yet, deep down, he felt an intense reverence for Gao Xuan, and though his hand gripped the sword, he dared not draw it.

He still had a shred of clarity in his mind: If I draw my sword, I'll be dead for sure. Can't draw, can't draw...

Yu Fei Sea's deep reverence for Gao Xuan enabled him to suppress the urge to act.

The other swordsmen, however, didn't consider so much. Streams of blood-red Sword Qi, whether fierce or swift, or rapid, converged towards Gao Xuan from different angles.

The swordsmen, losing their minds, instead reached their peak Source Power internally.

Especially in the core area of the Alien God Law, their bodies were strengthened to varying degrees. Their strikes were far more powerful than usual.

With everyone striking together, although there was no coordination, their momentum was even more ferocious.

Long Feilin wore a cold smile. They hadn't acted earlier, allowing Gao Xuan to be arrogant, knowing this change would occur.

Whoever stands in the central position at the front of the altar automatically becomes everyone's enemy.

Gao Xuan, overestimating his abilities, occupied the champion's position and naturally became the enemy of all the swordsmen.

Even if this Gao Xuan is capable, facing eleven mutated swordsmen, he is bound to die.

Zichuan Fragrance's expression was unusually solemn as she suppressed the urge to fight while meticulously observing Gao Xuan.

As the most outstanding swordsman on the Purple Dragon Star, Zichuan Fragrance's swordsmanship was the most exquisite, and her spirituality was the highest.

From the moment Gao Xuan entered, she sensed the danger in him.

However, no matter how she looked, she could not pinpoint where Gao Xuan was dangerous. In terms of physical fitness and source power reaction, Gao Xuan seemingly wasn't stronger than her. So, she was exceptionally curious about Gao Xuan's true capabilities.

Even if Gao Xuan has skills, facing eleven mutated swordsmen, he is bound to die.

Seeing the mutated powers of the swordsmen, Zichuan Fragrance immediately judged that her competition for the championship would only be against the Long Brothers.

Zichuan Fragrance had just thought of this when a shimmer of Mingjing Sword Light rippled heavily, instantly submerging all the sword Qi and all the swordsmen who had made a move.

The shimmering Sword Light flashed and disappeared, and the eleven swordsmen who acted simultaneously burst into a cloud of blood mist.

Gao Xuan's sword was too fast, and the impact force after the blade strike was exceptionally terrifying.

Moreover, all the swordsmen were fully operating their source power, creating a violent internal and external power conflict, which directly shattered them with the two opposing forces.

Zichuan Fragrance and the Long Brothers' expressions instantly froze.

Anyone witnessing Gao Xuan's peerless quick sword for the first time couldn't contain their shock or control their emotions.

The rippling Sword Light flashed and vanished, yet it stirred waves of ripples in Zichuan Fragrance's heart.

"Is this a swordsman's technique? It's practically like a deity..."

Zichuan Fragrance couldn't believe there could be such a formidable swordsmanship on the Purple Dragon Star.

Gao Xuan was indeed unbelievably fast, yet the brilliance of his swordsmanship concealed all the rapid, fierce, and sharp elements.

This unparalleled quick sword, however, presented an ethereal, gentle, leisurely, and composed Immortal demeanor. This demonstrated Gao Xuan's sword skill realm was so superb that it allowed him to wield the quick sword with such elegance and grace.

Worthy of being the Taihua Sword Immortal, this single sword alone is something only a Sword Immortal can use.

As a top swordsman, Zichuan Fragrance was immediately conquered by Gao Xuan's single sword.

It wasn't because Gao Xuan killed eleven swordsmen with one sword, but because of the extraordinary realm displayed in his swordsmanship, surpassing his quick sword by a hundredfold.

Zichuan Fragrance had watched the Golden Sword Saint's battle videos, but could only see the Golden Sword Saint's might without understanding the profound mysteriousness within.

As for the Silver Sword Hero, although powerful, in terms of demeanor and realm, they were far inferior to the young man before her.

Zichuan Fragrance was extremely excited; this was the sword skill realm she pursued. Due to her extreme excitement, her whole body was trembling.

The Long Brothers, Long Feilin and Long Feijiao, were also trembling. Unlike Zichuan Fragrance, to them, swordsmanship was just a means, a power. They did not understand the brilliance in Gao Xuan's swordsmanship.

The reason they trembled was very simple: because the power Gao Xuan demonstrated was too terrifying.

Undoubtedly, in front of Gao Xuan, they had no power to resist.

Long Feilin and Long Feijiao exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with deep fear and the relief of narrowly escaping death.

Fortunately, they restrained their impulses and did not make a move.

Standing behind Gao Xuan, Yu Fei Sea had also become fully aware amidst the shimmering Sword Light.

He was like someone thrown into an Ice Sea, the boiling battle blood within him immediately frozen into ice, his entire being frozen still.

Gao Xuan ignored Zichuan Fragrance and the others. After killing eleven swordsmen with one sword, the roaring from the void grew louder, seemingly tinged with a sense of joy.

This Alien God actually had emotions, and Gao Xuan felt the situation might be more dangerous than anticipated.

An Alien God with emotions would have some level of wisdom. With the Alien God's immense power, even a little wisdom would make it hard to contend against.

The encompassing blood mist suddenly gathered towards the round stone altar. Wrapped in layers of blood mist, the round stone altar seemed to come alive as well.

Facing the altar, Gao Xuan stood upright, his expression calm and peaceful.

Zichuan Fragrance couldn't help but voice a reminder: "The deity is about to descend, you must kneel to welcome the deity."

Although it was her first time participating, the Zi Family had been a thousand-year Noble Family and had won the Sword Assembly numerous times. They were very familiar with the Sword Assembly process.

When all the blood mist gathers onto the altar, the deity will descend to bestow power upon the champion.

Facing the deity, the most respectful posture must be adopted. Arrogant champions who were disrespectful to the deity never ended well.

Gao Xuan standing without kneeling might offend the deity.

Zichuan Fragrance greatly admired Gao Xuan's swordsmanship and didn't want him to encounter misfortune over such a trivial matter.

"Thank you, beautiful lady. But it's just an Alien God, not worth a bow."

Gao Xuan expressed his gratitude to Zichuan Fragrance but had no intention of kneeling.

Zichuan Fragrance hesitated a bit, then remained silent.

The Long Brothers secretly rejoiced, thinking that Gao Xuan was so arrogant that the wicked deity would surely deal with him.

Yu Fei Sea felt uneasy, wanting to advise Gao Xuan but couldn't muster the courage to speak up.

The blood-colored mist on the round stone altar suddenly began to boil, and a giant blood-red eye appeared within the mist.

The blood-red eye floated in the air, its vertical pupil casting a red reflection upon Gao Xuan.

"Submit to me, kneel to me..."

The howl in Gao Xuan's sea of consciousness transformed into clear and meaningful language. The voice was incredibly grand, with an irresistible majesty that made one instinctively want to yield to it.

Gao Xuan suddenly said, "You're nagging like an old lady, you're so annoying!"

The enormous blood-red eye suspended in the air suddenly focused its gaze. Immediately afterward, an incomparably furious aura erupted.

Zichuan Fragrance and the Long Brothers, along with Yu Fei Sea, all heard Gao Xuan's words. They were all petrified with fear; this guy's gone mad, he actually dared to insult a deity...
