The bar was filled with bodies, all severed at the waist. Various pieces of furniture were also broken into two and scattered on the floor.

The shattered exoskeleton armor crashed into the bar counter, smashing the liquor cabinet to pieces.

Although they were all killed with one sword strike, the kinetic energy from the exoskeleton armor's impact hadn't dissipated. Two halves of the exoskeleton armor crashed straight through the walls, leaving two large holes on the opposite side.

On the wall at the entrance of the bar, there was also a straight and neat sword mark through which the daylight outside could faintly be seen.

The bartender, hiding behind the bar counter, was left with only half a meter's width of the broken counter in front of him. He was shivering, his face ashen.

The gruesome deaths of numerous bodies and the intense smell of blood made the bartender feel extremely uncomfortable.

The bartender was scared to death, but his eyes involuntarily turned to Gao Xuan.

The sword in Gao Xuan's hand had somehow been sheathed already. He stood there sighing softly, "What a pity about the liquor."

He waved to the bartender, "You saw clearly, these Lan family people were unreasonable and caused the destruction. You should ask them for compensation."

The bartender didn't dare to make a sound. The very fact he could do business on Starfish Island was because he was a member of the Lan family.

The noble family hierarchy within is extremely strict, and even within families like the Lan, there could be millions or even tens of millions sharing the same surname.

For someone of the bartender's status, he was basically at the bottom of the Lan family. He didn't even have the right to speak to Lan Changkong. How could he dare to ask for compensation from them?

Gao Xuan smiled at Yun Qingshang and said, "Do you know what? I'm suddenly in a particularly good mood."

Yun Qingshang had already drawn the Po Jun Sword; she was ready to act just now. As it turned out, Gao Xuan wiped out most of their people with one sword, leaving the two Silver Sword Heroes fleeing in panic.

"Just now, I had a sudden insight and comprehended a Sword Intent."

Gao Xuan said slowly, "This sword is as clear as water, and also carries a vast and endless meaning. How about calling it the Water Heaven Sword?"

Yun Qingshang didn't care much for poetic words, but she felt the name was quite nice, so she nodded.

"Then it shall be called the Water Heaven Sword. Hahaha..."

Gao Xuan was also quite satisfied. Previously, he relied on his quick sword when wielding the Hongyi Sword.

The Ming Che Sword Light actually originated from the Hongyi Sword. However, it had nothing to do with Sword Intent.

To differentiate from Blood Shadow, Gao Xuan would never use the Aurora Sword in public. His quick sword was entirely based on basic swordsmanship.

Therefore, no strong individual would associate his quick sword with Blood Shadow's, as they were fundamentally different.

After obtaining the Hongyi Sword, Gao Xuan had been pondering how to unleash its power.

In terms of sword artifact quality, the current Hongyi Sword even surpassed the current Godslaying Sword.

The Water Source Essence within the Hongyi Sword was incredibly powerful.

Previously, Gao Xuan used Ice Sword Qi to activate the Hongyi Sword, which was very effective.

The problem was he had passed the Ice Sword Qi to Wei Yue, so it wasn't suitable to use it openly anymore.

The Ice Sword Qi is a special application at the Source Power level; despite its physical strength, it couldn't be considered as swordsmanship.

Facing the oppression of Lan Changkong and Lan Guangheng, Gao Xuan had many means to easily eliminate them.

However, under conditions limiting his identity, easily resolving them was not that simple.

Gao Xuan initially intended to use the quick sword recklessly, but at the moment of the strike, Source Power, Spirit, and the Hongyi Sword suddenly harmonized and resonated, leading him to accidentally compose four lines of doggerel.

These four lines of verse contained the general principles of the Water Heaven Sword that Gao Xuan comprehended.

With the Water Source Essence of the Hongyi Sword, water naturally became the primary essence of the Sword Formulas.

Water has substance but no form, continuous and endless yet colorless and clear. Water changes with circumstances, ever-changing, and extremely agile.

The Heaven is the extension of the water's mood. Broad but not empty, capable of containing hundreds of rivers and all things. It is the ultimate realm of Sword Intent.

For a supreme strongman like Gao Xuan, such a sudden enlightenment was especially precious.

Because he knew so much and had his own views on all things and beings. He wouldn't be moved to generate new thoughts from just any stimulus.

Simply put, although this universe is vast and boundless, there aren't many things that could excite or surprise Gao Xuan.

The resonance with the Hongyi Sword unexpectedly broke certain shackles in Gao Xuan's swordsmanship, allowing him to comprehend the Water Heaven Sword Intent.

Such enlightenment allowed Gao Xuan to condense multiple Source Power nodes, causing his Source Power level to soar from Level 11 to Level 13.

Gao Xuan's Spiritual Power was so formidable that even with such a sudden Source Power upgrade, there was no overflow of Source Power.

It's just that on the level of the Sea of Source Power, Gao Xuan had entered an extremely deep level.

The Source Power at this level was more refined and stable. At this moment, Gao Xuan seemed to merge with the endless Source Power.

Gao Xuan could feel the endless Source Power circulating in the Source Power nodes within his body, and his spiritual consciousness was stimulated by the Source Power, becoming unprecedentedly active.

The Water Heaven Sword Intent and the Hongyi Sword were also interacting and blending. In a trance, the Hongyi Sword transformed into a trace of lively Sword Intent, flowing continuously with his Sword Intent.

In fact, the Hongyi Sword appeared and disappeared in Gao Xuan's hand, constantly switching between the material world and the spiritual sea of consciousness.

Through this enlightenment, Gao Xuan unexpectedly forcibly refined the Hongyi Sword, allowing him to draw it into the spiritual sea of consciousness.

This also meant that the Hongyi Sword and Gao Xuan had reached a sublime level of Unity of Man and Sword.

Gao Xuan's Source Power level also skyrocketed from 240,000 degrees to 960,000 degrees.

Such Source Power levels were nearing the threshold of the Golden Level.

Looking across Taurus, Gao Xuan was already invincible on the level of Source Power.

However, in a Source Power environment like Taurus, there was a limitation on the Source Power upper limit.

Even with Gao Xuan's strong Source Power, he still had to conform to the Source Power environmental limits.

Nevertheless, Gao Xuan's combat power gained a substantial boost. With solid Source Power, he could adjust his Power with ease.
