King of Assassins
Chapter 247 - 227 Coercion
Purple Dragon Star is renowned for producing swordsmen and is exceptionally combative. The swordsmen here have all emerged from bloody battles.
Even a genius from a great noble family like Zichuan Fragrance has to face countless challenges. Only after experiencing many brutal fights can they reach their current position.
The people of Purple Dragon Star are proud of their battle culture.
They look down on swordsmen from other planets, thinking they are too weak.
The swordsmen from other planets in the Twelve Star Domain also unanimously agree that the swordsmen from Purple Dragon Star are the strongest.
Indeed, brutal battles can always trigger the potential of swordsmen.
The way of swordsmen is the way of combat. Playing a thousand duels online is not as effective as a real-life match.
At the swordsman level, Purple Dragon Star's swordsmen are indeed stronger.
Long Zhengtang and Zi Yunteng, both nearing two hundred years old, have personally experienced hundreds of bloody battles and witnessed numerous swordsmen fights.
Even though they are old, most of their body's organs remain in peak condition. Their Source Power and consciousness have accumulated two hundred years of experience.
These two are confident that they are the strongest swordsmen on Purple Dragon Star. At the swordsman level, no one can be stronger than them.
Gao Xuan's single move that wiped out Guo Gang and others was a revelation to Long Zhengtang and the others.
Long Zhengtang and Zi Yunteng could not even see how Gao Xuan drew his sword; Gao Xuan was just too fast.
Their powerful Spiritual Power could barely capture Gao Xuan's specific movements and changes.
But they both knew that the brilliant Ming Che Sword Light just now was Gao Xuan slicing dozens of times, and during this process, Gao Xuan also encircled them once.
No human body could withstand such a Quick Sword. Without even considering Sword Qi, the impact of the high-speed sword edge could easily tear apart body tissue.
The armor and other equipment on everyone were as flimsy as paper under Gao Xuan's sword.
Long Zhengtang and Zi Yunteng calmed down and immediately realized how terrifying Gao Xuan was.
No one on Purple Dragon Star could withstand even one sword from Gao Xuan!
Seeing Gao Xuan's relaxed and leisurely state, he clearly hadn't used his full strength. Such a swordsman is quite terrifying.
The most reliable way to eliminate Gao Xuan is to drop a nuclear bomb in an enclosed space.
Apart from that, no modern weapon could effectively hit Gao Xuan because he is just too fast.
Zi Yunteng felt secretly relieved that he hadn't rushed to show himself. Otherwise, he would have died just now.
After posing for a moment, Gao Xuan casually said to Long Zhengtang and the others: "Do you have any other questions?"
Long Zhengtang remained silent. He had questions but didn't dare to ask them. Find thе sоurсе оf this сhаptеr аt
Zi Yunteng, on the other hand, couldn't stay as calm as Long Zhengtang. He had just ordered people to trouble Gao Xuan and was afraid that Gao Xuan would settle scores with him.
He quickly waved his hand, "We have no problems, you can go. We will handle the aftermath."
As an elder of the Zi Family, Zi Yunteng was highly respected and had strong cultivation. He was said to be the most prestigious powerhouse on Purple Dragon Star.
Yet, Zi Yunteng's demeanor was now humble, even slightly ingratiating and fawning.
Others from the noble families looked on and found this attitude entirely appropriate. The top swordsmen of Purple Dragon Star were nothing in front of Gao Xuan.
Gao Xuan took the still-dazed Xiao Ting by the hand, "Let's go Sister Ting."
He was still quite considerate, not forgetting to bring along the unconscious Yu Fei Sea.
Xiao Ting woke as if from a dream, full of questions, but this wasn't the place to talk.
Gao Xuan and the others came out of the Blood Dragon Cave without stopping, and directly boarded the flying ship.
The warship lifted off and headed towards the Defense Army Headquarters.
Long Zhengtang, who followed them out, watched the warship disappear into the distance with a profound look in his eyes.
Zi Yunteng suddenly said, "Can we eliminate him by using an anti-air nuclear warhead?"
Long Zhengtang shook his head, "As long as he senses it in advance, an anti-air nuclear bomb is unlikely to kill him."
Given Gao Xuan's physical qualities, even without flying tools, he could fly with sword control.
They had yet to test Gao Xuan's Power limit, nor had they found an obvious weakness, making the use of a nuclear bomb at this moment too dangerous.
If they failed to kill Gao Xuan, it would easily provoke his merciless retaliation.
Judging by Gao Xuan's demeanor when slaying Guo Gang and the others, it's clear this young man is cold and ruthless. He wouldn't hesitate to kill.
On Purple Dragon Star, where battles are brutal, many swordsmen have such a disposition.
However, Gao Xuan, with his transcendent demeanor and unparalleled aura, exhibited no trace of malice in his words and actions. Yet he was incomparable to the swordsmen of Purple Dragon Star.
Long Zhengtang shook his head, recognizing that regardless of Gao Xuan's prowess, this matter would not be easily resolved.
One must know that the Spirit Sword Association has two billion followers, occupying an entire continent. Such is the immense power.
Matters involving the Spirit Sword Association's deities relate to the foundation of the association, and its high-ranking members would not easily give in.
Especially the cultists, whose minds are inherently abnormal.
Long Zhengtang sighed to Zi Yunteng, "I have a bad feeling that this matter will only escalate."
Zi Yunteng sneered, "The several major cults may be powerful, but how many can Gao Xuan's sword kill?"
"If that Evil God is no more, eradicating the cults would indeed be a good thing."
Long Zhengtang replied, "It's now up to how Guo Zhengjun thinks."
Guo Zhengjun is the president of the Spirit Sword Association, which has flourished under his leadership, occupying the Cloud Province. It has become the largest cult organization on Purple Dragon Star.
The two billion people in Cloud Province have all been brainwashed by Guo Zhengjun, becoming fervent followers of the Spirit Sword Association.
With such a vast population base and the care of the Evil God,
the Spirit Sword Association is teeming with strong individuals, with its influence growing more and more in recent years. The Long, Zi, and other noble families are being suppressed to the point of suffocation.
Fortunately, an agreement was signed, prohibiting the Spirit Sword Association from spreading its teachings to other continents.
Even so, the Spirit Sword Association continues to expand outwards.
The numerous noble families are extremely wary of the Spirit Sword Association.
Everyone suspects that the Evil God resides in the Blood Dragon Cave. Consequently, the competition for the Blood Dragon Sword Assembly has become increasingly intense.
However, an incident occurred during this Blood Dragon Sword Assembly. For some unknown reason, the Evil God disappeared!
The aura of the Evil God was so powerful, it was as if it were the sun in the sky, radiating intense light at every moment.
In this regard, all swordsmen have a clear and distinct understanding.
"Guo Zhengjun is a madman, this time Xiao Yan is likely to be in trouble!" Zi Yunteng said gloatingly.
The Guo Zhengjun mentioned by Zi Yunteng was pacing back and forth irritably.
He drew his sword and sheathed it repeatedly.
Guo Zhengjun had long, sword-like eyebrows, eyes bright as stars, gray-white hair tied with a ribbon, dressed in a luxurious purple robe.
Even speaking of demeanor, no matter how irritable and furious Guo Zhengjun was, he still had a certain masterly aura.
As the number one evil cult leader on Purple Dragon Star, Guo Zhengjun had an especially good appearance. His personal charm played a crucial role in developing the Spirit Sword Association to its current stage.
Guo Zhengjun was almost three hundred years old; his lifespan had actually far exceeded the limits of a swordsman.
However, with the favor of the Evil God, he could defy heaven and maintain the best state of life.
It was precisely this divine intervention that made Guo Zhengjun particularly charismatic.
Eternal youth is everyone's wish. Those truly tired of life are rare among the rare.
Guo Zhengjun, relying on this ability for eternal youth, won over countless nobles.
Of course, his immortality was all granted by the Evil God. He couldn't make others immortal.
But with his example, others would believe him. Just this point was enough for him to accomplish many things.
Guo Zhengjun dominated a province, with twenty billion followers. Any word he said was like an imperial edict to the believers. No one dared to defy it.
This kind of power surpassed everyone on Purple Dragon Star.
As for wealth, beauties, they were at his disposal, for him to enjoy at will.
Guo Zhengjun was actually quite content; he had no ambition to dominate Purple Dragon Star.
He was well aware that dominating one province was already close to the limit.
If he truly dared to overthrow the noble families and monopolize Purple Dragon Star, the military's troops would immediately come to kill him.
Currently, both sides maintained a delicate balance. Everyone was still doing quite well. That was enough.
Guo Zhengjun was now only concerned with how long he could live; his life had long been at its limit, and he was just relying on the Evil God to extend it.
Yet just now, Guo Zhengjun received a command from the Evil God, asking him to spare no effort to eliminate a person named Gao Xuan!
Guo Zhengjun didn't know who Gao Xuan was; he was aloof, not caring about the Blood Dragon Sword Assembly, much less who participated in it.
His apprehension stemmed from the fact that after delivering that message, the Evil God vanished.
Totally vanished...
The Evil God often would vanish, but regardless of its state, its tremendously powerful aura always remained.
However, just now he completely lost the aura of the Evil God, and his subtle connection with the Evil God was thoroughly severed.
Guo Zhengjun didn't know what happened to the Evil God, he was exceptionally anxious and uneasy.
Without the life granted by the Evil God, he could at most live for another year.
If a person dies, any power, wealth, beauty, or fame becomes meaningless.
Accustomed to controlling everything, Guo Zhengjun couldn't tolerate loss, much less tolerate death.
So, he became extremely agitated but found no outlet for it.
Having lived for three hundred years, Guo Zhengjun quickly calmed down and said loudly, "Someone, come."
Upon his command, a swordsman in black attire entered from the side door, kneeling on one knee in front of Guo Zhengjun, respectfully saying, "Sect Leader, peace to you. Disciple Ling San pays respect."
Normally, a tenth-level swordsman would never kneel to anyone. It was even less likely for them to serve as a bodyguard.
Swordsmen are all proud, with tenth level being the pinnacle of power on Purple Dragon Star. Reaching this stage, there are countless paths to choose from, none would be a bodyguard.
Guo Zhengjun was different, he was the Sect Leader, and his subordinates were all his fanatic followers.
The many swordsmen in the sect saw Guo Zhengjun as a father, as a sacred mentor.
Just beside Guo Zhengjun, there were twelve swordsmen serving as bodyguards, also acting as his close attendants.
For followers of the Spirit Sword Association, following Guo Zhengjun was the greatest honor.
In this regard, Guo Zhengjun was undoubtedly the number one person on Purple Dragon Star.
"Go investigate a person named Gao Xuan, who is particularly handsome. Investigate immediately."
Guo Zhengjun ordered.
Ling San bowed his head to take the order and quickly left.
Less than twenty minutes later, Ling San returned. After greeting Guo Zhengjun, he quickly recited the information about Gao Xuan.
News from the Blood Dragon Cave was also reported back to the Spirit Sword Association headquarters, containing detailed information about Gao Xuan.
"Killed Guo Gang, Wu Tong, and eleven other swordsmen in one strike, along with other experts for a total of thirty-seven people?"
Guo Zhengjun laughed angrily after reading all this and asked Ling San, "Do you think it's possible?"
Ling San bowed deeply, "Sect Leader, this information was obtained from different noble families."
"These noble families want to unite to deceive me?"
Guo Zhengjun shook his head again, "That's also unlikely."
Noble families are always timorous, hesitant, yet they like to scheme and plot, unable to unite.
It's not that he underestimated the noble families; they simply didn't have the skill to unite and deceive him!
If this information is true, it could indeed be a bit troublesome.
Guo Zhengjun pondered for a long time before contacting the highest commander of the Defense Army, Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yan's face was like stone, stiff and lifeless, devoid of any expression. He silently watched Guo Zhengjun, waiting for him to speak.
Guo Zhengjun, knowing Xiao Yan's character, said outright, "I want Gao Xuan, at all costs."
Xiao Yan remained silent, making no response.
Guo Zhengjun sneered, "I know Gao Xuan is part of your Xiao Family, but he's an outsider. What is he worth? As long as you give me Gao Xuan, I can support you in whatever you want to do."
His expression darkened, "If you don't cooperate, my twenty billion followers and I will fight the Defense Army to the death. Xiao Yan, you know how to choose!"
Xiao Yan remained silent for a while longer before saying, "I'll think about it."
"I give you one day."
Guo Zhengjun said calmly, "If I don't see Gao Xuan by this time tomorrow, you and the Defense Army will die!"
