King of Assassins
Chapter 336 - 299: Flying Swallow Double Blades
CHAPTER 336: CHAPTER 299: FLYING SWALLOW DOUBLE BLADES
Through the mechanical face armor and mechanical eyes, others actually couldn’t see Gao Xuan’s smile. They could only hear some low laughter.
The manager behind the explosion-proof window looked disdainful. In Hundred Ghosts City, an outsider being so arrogant was courting death.
Opposite him was Xu Fang, the son of the Celestial Snake King.
The Ten Kings of the Black Banner Alliance were the ten most powerful big shots. The Ten Kings Council managed all affairs within the Black Banner Alliance’s domain.
Offending Xu Fang was useless, even if the other party was the president of the alliance.
Moreover, Red-haired Ghost King Peng was here. This big shot of Hundred Ghosts City was no joke. He had at least five or six Silver Sword Heroes and millions of followers under him.
The manager folded his arms, wanting to see how Gao Xuan would die!
Gao Xuan didn’t pay attention to the manager; he could deal with that guy later.
He asked Xu Fang, "I don’t quite understand. We are strangers. Why are you making things difficult for me?"
Xu Fang chuckled, "Do you need a reason to bully someone?"
"Don’t you?"
"No, you don’t."
Xu Fang smiled and said, "Don’t you understand? This is a world where power allows you to do whatever you want."
Gao Xuan had a hunch that Xu Fang wasn’t telling the truth. This guy forcibly stealing the Book of All-Knowing surely had a reason.
The other party was arrogant but not stupid. He never mentioned why he was causing trouble.
"You’re such a nag, do you know who he is? He’s Young Master Xu, Xu Fang. If he wants you dead, you must die; no one can save you."
Red-haired Ghost Peng, who rose from the bottom, was both slick and rough. He felt it was unnecessary to waste words with Gao Xuan.
Xu Fang was very patient. He raised his hand, signaling Wang Peng not to rush. He said to Gao Xuan, "Why do you want to buy this book? What’s the use of this book?"
He smiled and said, "You have to give me a satisfactory answer, and I’ll let you leave today."
"So you’re after this book."
Gao Xuan understood that the other party was here for the book, which had nothing directly to do with him.
He sighed inwardly, thinking his luck was really something.
However, that’s fine. Let’s see whose sword is faster.
Gao Xuan also laughed, "You want to know, huh? Kneel and call me father three times. If I’m in a good mood, I might tell you."
Xu Fang’s smile vanished: "You’re very presumptuous."
Wang Peng was even angrier, "Brat, you’re looking to die."
As he spoke, he glanced at the experts beside him, signaling them that they could act.
Immediately, two Silver Sword Heroes drew their swords and thrust straight at Gao Xuan.
On the Planet of Death, there’s no courtesy when making a move. Here, whoever has the bigger fists is the boss.
Red-haired Ghost King Peng was the boss. His order was law. That’s the law on the Planet of Death.
The two Silver Sword Heroes were also used to killing. They showed no consideration when making a move, directly drawing their swords to kill. Their movements were exceptionally clean and efficient.
San Baihe had already retreated far away. She saw Wang Peng finally make a move and sighed inwardly. This guy really didn’t know what was good for him. She had advised him not to court death.
Yet he insisted on opposing Xu Fang and speaking such wild words.
If he got killed by a sword, that would be good fortune. The fear was falling into Xu Fang’s hands, which truly would be worse than death.
San Baihe didn’t seem to care about Gao Xuan; she only lamented the commission she couldn’t get.
The quick sword executed by the Silver Sword Hero shone brightly, making San Baihe blink involuntarily.
Just as she blinked, Gao Xuan took a step and extended his palm. His palm first gently patted on the dual swords.
The Ice Sword Qi directly transmitted through the sword edges onto the two Sword Heroes. The Ice Sword Qi, finer and sharper than a needlepoint, penetrated through their Sword Qi like myriad ice spikes, piercing right into their bodies.
The Ice Sword Qi, infinitely close to absolute zero, stalled both the Source Power and bodies of the two Silver Sword Heroes for a moment.
Just in that instant of stalling, Gao Xuan advanced with his palms, pressing them onto the faces of the two Sword Heroes.
The Ice Sword Qi exploded, and the heads of the two Sword Heroes immediately shattered into fragments of ice dust.
Gao Xuan casually seized the longswords of the two Sword Heroes and wielded the Dual Swords straight towards Xu Fang.
Xu Fang also reacted. He retreated without hesitation. Gao Xuan’s move took out two Silver Sword Heroes. Such power was truly terrifying.
Xu Fang wasn’t stupid. He certainly wouldn’t risk his life against such a master.
A Silver Sword Hero standing next to Xu Fang also cautiously drew his sword, assuming a defensive posture.
The Black Banner Alliance was different from the outside world. In this world, the Ten Kings controlled everything.
Even a Silver Sword Hero had to depend on the Ten Kings. A dignified Silver Sword Hero also had to serve as Xu Fang’s personal guard.
If something happened to Xu Fang, he would undoubtedly die too.
This Silver Sword Hero was very cautious, but his explosive Sword Qi blasted everyone around away.
At this time, he wouldn’t consider the life and death of those around. These attendants were too low level to help in battles and would only get in the way. It was better for them all to roll far away.
Only Red-haired Ghost King Peng and one of his Silver Sword Hero subordinates could still stand firmly.
Wang Peng’s red hair stood up, and his whole body emitted a crimson glow from inside out. However, his eyes turned a strange ash gray.
Beside him, numerous phantom shadows faintly appeared, emitting a mournful wail that spiritually struck everyone.
The Hundred Ghosts Order of Hundred Ghosts City was in his hand. This Marvel was said to control a hundred ghosts. These special spiritual entities commanded strange energies.
The collective outbreak made a tremendously grand spectacle.
San Baihe had just opened her eyes to see ghostly shadows charging at her, and the wailing of these evil ghosts deeply startled her. She gaped, collapsing to the ground, turning into a complete fool.
Even the manager behind the explosion-proof window stumbled back, falling into a chair. The mental impact made blood flow from his nose and eyes, looking extremely miserable.
The fierce rampage of a hundred ghosts, however, had no effect on Gao Xuan.
With 34 spiritual power, he could ignore the attacks of these low-tier spirits. Besides, he’d seen this trick too many times.
Things like the Crimson Eye and Dragon God, these Divine beings loved to use this move before dying.
In comparison, the ghostly mental assault seemed utterly ridiculous.
Gao Xuan clashed his dual swords, releasing a surge of ice sword qi like a tide.
The ghostly shadows dancing in the air were instantly frozen by the ice sword qi. The venomously chilling ice sword intent destroyed all spirits.
The shadows appeared in the white chill, then shattered into bits of ice crystals.
Wang Peng, who wielded the Hundred Ghosts Order, had a layer of frost forming on his face, even his pupils were frozen.
The ice sword qi was extremely sinister, but Gao Xuan’s all-pervasive ice sword intent was even scarier.
Ever since Gao Xuan comprehended the Water Heaven Sword, his swordsmanship had made great progress.
The sword intent of the Water Heaven Sword shared commonalities with the ice sword intent. When he unleashed the ice sword intent again, it became ever more exquisite.
Though Wang Peng was a top-level Silver Sword Hero, his swordsmanship was far inferior to Gao Xuan’s. Gao Xuan’s activation of the ice sword intent directly overwhelmed Wang Peng’s sword intent.
Though Wang Peng wasn’t killed on the spot, he was almost frozen into an ice sculpture by the ice sword qi both inside and out.
"Friend, we can talk about anything..."
Realizing the situation was dire, Wang Peng hurriedly pleaded with Gao Xuan using his spiritual power.
"You’re not worthy."
Gao Xuan replied to him. His dual swords suddenly shot forward, aiming straight at the other two Silver Sword Heroes.
The two Silver Sword Heroes swung their swords to block, but the flying dual swords weaved agile arcs like swift swallows, rotating lightly.
The two Silver Sword Heroes, affected by the ice sword qi, found their movements stiff, unable to keep up with the flying dual swords’ changes.
The spinning dual swords effortlessly decapitated the two Sword Heroes, then intersected again, darting directly towards Xu Fang.
Xu Fang was terrified, but the Silver Sword Heroes next to him had already been killed by the flying swords. He could only desperately draw his sword in defense.
The dual swords circled Xu Fang, striking him like nimble swallows. With each block Xu Fang made, the dual swords attacked even faster.
Xu Fang could only employ meticulous swordsmanship to defend himself as best as he could.
At this moment, Gao Xuan had already reached Wang Peng. Casually, he slapped Wang Peng’s head.
Wang Peng’s tall body immediately turned into a cyan ice statue, paused for a moment, then exploded into countless ice crystals, scattering.
Only the sword artifact and a few marvels on him remained intact, falling like fluttering snowflakes along with the icy shards.
Seeing Gao Xuan approach, Xu Fang frantically shouted, "Spare me, we can talk about anything."
"Why didn’t you want to talk earlier?"
Gao Xuan said leisurely, "I ask you, do you regret it now?"
"I regret it, I regret it, I was wrong, I shouldn’t have provoked you," Xu Fang hastily exclaimed. "I am willing to kneel and apologize."
"Heh heh, too late."
Xu Fang was somewhat desperate: "Even if you kill me, you won’t survive."
"You’re overestimating yourself."
Gao Xuan casually beckoned, capturing the box containing the Book of All-Knowing. After all this hassle, he finally got the Book of All-Knowing. His previous frustration instantly vanished.
He told Xu Fang, "Here’s some advice: if there’s a next life, remember to be a good person. And remember not to provoke me."
Gao Xuan’s sarcastic taunt made Xu Fang both angry and afraid. In his agitated state, the spinning dual swords suddenly sliced through the gap.
The rotating dual swords sliced Xu Fang diagonally into three pieces. Xu Fang fell to the ground, the intense pain muddling his consciousness, yet he wasn’t dead right away.
He truly regretted in his heart now: Why did he come to the Planet of Death? Why did he have to encounter this guy...?
His fate shouldn’t have been like this...
The dual swords that killed Xu Fang suddenly transformed into two streams of light, slashing straight at the explosion-proof window.
On the thick explosion-proof glass, two crisscrossing sword marks appeared.
The spinning dual swords flew back, landed gently in front of Gao Xuan, and sank deeply into the ground.
Gao Xuan was quite satisfied with the effect of the dual swords. The Flying Swallow Double Blade Slash, capable of both close and long-range attack, was especially exquisite for its ability to slay enemies from afar like swift swallows.
Gao Xuan used to have many means of confronting enemies, seldom employing such flashy moves.
Torturing cannon fodder with it today felt quite rewarding.
The manager sitting in the chair had pupils dilated with intense fear.
Seeing that the explosion-proof window didn’t shatter, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. As long as the window wasn’t broken, he still had a chance to escape.
Just as the manager was thinking that, the thick explosion-proof glass suddenly shattered with a roar. The shimmering glass shards, like a multitude of sword blades, instantly sliced the manager’s upper body into a cloud of blood mist.
At this point, only San Baihe was still alive in the hall.
But San Baihe was utterly petrified, losing all ability to think, sitting blankly on the ground.
Completely unaware that Gao Xuan had already entered Qiqu Pavilion’s Treasure Vault and began plundering at will.
