CHAPTER 342: CHAPTER 304: ARE YOU PLAYING WITH ME?

Gao Xuan was in the mood for a joke, but Bai Yutang dared not be careless.

She activated the Holy Light Wings, a faint ethereal melody floating in the air. A divine and solemn white light flowed around her.

Bai Yutang pointed a finger at Gao Xuan, and pure white light fell upon him, waves of warmth circulating within his body.

The broken ribs and severely injured heart rapidly healed within the sacred white light. The deadly poison coursing through his body was purified by the divine light.

The Divine Source Power released by the Holy Light Wings could directly integrate into Gao Xuan’s body origin, fundamentally healing his physical injuries.

Such a powerful holy force could even heal injuries on the divine soul.

Within seconds, Gao Xuan had already recovered to peak condition.

Gao Xuan exclaimed in joyous admiration, "Sister Tang, I love you, even more, love your big breasts..."

"There you go, talking nonsense again."

Bai Yutang softly said, "Be careful, there are many enemies outside."

"Give me a nuclear bomb."

Gao Xuan took a nuclear bomb from Bai Yutang and then let her go back.

She wouldn’t be needed in the upcoming battle.

Once Gao Xuan was ready, he then put away the Dimensional Mirror.

As the mirror space shattered like a bubble, Gao Xuan returned to the Ghost King Hall.

The many guards of the Celestial Snake King had long surrounded the area, but they couldn’t touch the mirror space from the outside. They could only widen their eyes and wait expectantly.

When they saw the mirror space break and Gao Xuan appear, they attacked without asking.

Gao Xuan didn’t ask either; he twisted his Hongyi Sword in his right hand, and the Ming Che Sword Light rippled heavily.

This move of the Water Heaven Sword, Ripples, emulated the flowing ripples of water with spiritual charm. Inside, there was an endless, enduring Sword Intent.

The Ice Sword Intent perfectly complemented the Water Heaven Sword. Gao Xuan seamlessly integrated the two intents, and now he casually wielded them, possessing the ethereal, lofty, and endlessness of the Water Heaven Sword along with the ice-cold, fierce, and sinister Ice Sword Intent.

At least five Silver Sword Heroes engaged Gao Xuan, each possessing their own unique skills and extraordinary swordsmanship.

Yet, they were intimidated slightly by the Sword Qi of the Water Heaven Sword.

The blood-colored Sword Light split and ignited, transforming into a huge blood-colored lotus.

Within the coverage of the blood-colored lotus, everyone was struck by the sword. When the lotus dispersed, everyone present had been pierced through the forehead, falling backward.

The battle between Gao Xuan and the Celestial Snake King, though brief, brought significant gains to him.

Handling these experts one rank lower was even more effortless.

Once the Godslaying Sword absorbed all the divine soul spirits, Gao Xuan put the Godslaying Sword away. He casually tossed the mini nuclear bomb aside.

This nuclear bomb would explode in thirty seconds, enough to erase all traces.

Killing the Celestial Snake King was no small feat.

The Black Banner Alliance had the ability to contend with the Alliance for a millennium, showing that they had their ways.

Gao Xuan knew very well that the Celestial Snake King was far stronger than him. At his peak power in his past life, he was at most at the Celestial Snake King’s level.

His swordsmanship, martial arts, and combat awareness had little advantage over the Celestial Snake King. It was purely relying on the special law of the Godslaying Sword that he could kill the Celestial Snake King.

He couldn’t even take on any of the other nine kings of the Black Banner Alliance now. If he accidentally left a trace of himself and was pursued, that would be troublesome.

Even Hercules might not be willing to become enemies with the Black Banner Alliance for his sake.

Therefore, this matter must be handled cleanly from beginning to end.

After rushing out of the Ghost King Hall at high speed, Gao Xuan directly controlled the Invisible Cicada Wing Sword to soar into the sky.

After thirty seconds, he was already thirty kilometers away, far from the urban area of the Hundred Ghosts City.

Looking back, Gao Xuan saw a blazing white light suddenly rising from the Ghost King Hall. All the buildings within the range of the Ghost King Hall were rendered semi-transparent by the intense light projection.

The high-temperature light wave lasted for 0.5 seconds before the energy shock wave began to spread heavily.

Wherever the shock wave passed, all the buildings were destroyed. The diameter of the area covered by the shock wave was two kilometers.

Upon reaching two kilometers away, the shock wave was reduced to rolling heat currents. This type of small-scale nuclear bomb was intended for small targets, with the shock wave decaying unusually fast, preventing widespread destruction.

This kind of enormous powerful nuclear bomb was enough to cause devastating damage to the center. No one would find anything useful if they came to investigate.

At the terminal, Gao Xuan chose a flying ship that was set to depart immediately, casually following everyone on board the landing craft.

Through the landing craft transfer, they entered a large space ship. This was essentially a cargo ship, destined for the Lingyun Star in the Cloud Light Star System.

Gao Xuan didn’t care where they were going, so long as he could leave sooner.

Most of the crew on the flying ship had witnessed the nuclear explosion. Even from space, they could see the intense light released by the nuclear explosion. The energy shock released by the nuclear explosion was easily detectable by the ship’s monitoring systems.

The crew was mostly curious about the nuclear explosion, yet no one cared enough to get involved.

This flying ship was actually a Black Banner Alliance cargo vessel for external use, and they were all Black Banner Alliance members.

However, they didn’t care about what happened in the Hundred Ghosts City, or who might have been blown up.

For them, death and destruction were normal, nothing to be surprised about.

A group of people was even laughing happily, faces full of smiles.

Little did anyone know, the real culprit, Gao Xuan, was sitting next to them watching the commotion. For Gao Xuan, listening to others discuss something he had done was quite amusing.

Before the Black Banner Alliance cargo vessel could enter the Space Node, it was stopped.

With the nuclear explosion in Hundred Ghosts City, it’s confirmed that Celestial Snake King was assassinated. This greatly angered the Nine Kings of the Black Banner Alliance; someone had dared to enter their territory to assassinate them.

As it concerned their own safety, the Planet of Death was sealed off. Intensive widespread searches were launched, determined to find the assassin.

Even their own cargo vessel had to undergo detailed inspection.

The cargo ship, in the shape of a giant ship, measured 1,700 meters long and 300 meters high, with a massive and complex internal space. Searching it thoroughly was no easy task.

Gao Xuan noticed the leader of the team was actually a Golden Powerhouse.

This person, tall and burly, wore thick black battle armor. With his face hidden by face armor, only his eyes, flashing with electric light, were visible.

Judging by his appearance and demeanor, it was likely to be the Iron Mountain King among the Ten Kings. His title as the unbeaten King of Body Refining had earned him renown even among the Ten Kings as a good fighter.

Iron Mountain King stood in the central hall of the ship, ordering all crew members to gather. Gao Xuan stood amid the crowd. No one noticed anything unusual about him, not even the Iron Mountain King.

After gathering everyone, Iron Mountain King’s Spiritual Power swept back and forth across the cargo vessel. He then coordinated with hundreds of inspection team members, systematically checking area by area, ensuring nothing was overlooked.

Under such meticulous scrutiny, no one could hide.

The detailed searches progressed very slowly.

A team of people worked on the ship for over twenty hours, finally examining every corner from top to bottom.

Iron Mountain King stationed himself in the central hall throughout, ensuring nothing was missed.

You could tell, this time the Black Banner Alliance was truly enraged.

However, Gao Xuan remained in the crowd from start to finish without moving, and no one paid him any mind. When they checked him, everyone naturally assumed he was a member. No one was even slightly suspicious.

This was quite normal. Even someone as powerful as the Celestial Snake King could only sense something wrong when within five steps.

The strongest among this group were only Silver Sword Heroes, who couldn’t possibly notice anything amiss.

Iron Mountain King stood at the front of the hall, unable to imagine the assassin was hidden among the crowd.

Gao Xuan was also quietly relieved; thankfully, he had the Mysterious Windbreaker. Without it, slipping past such detailed inspections would have been difficult.

The key was that Iron Mountain King was present, his powerful Spiritual Power encompassing the entire cargo ship. Any slight anomaly would trigger his alertness.

The Mysterious Windbreaker’s strength lay in reducing presence to negligible levels. Even if Gao Xuan was the only one left, as long as he didn’t approach the Iron Mountain King too closely, he would be mistaken for a comrade.

Once the ship entered the Space Node and began the Space Jump, Gao Xuan found an empty room to rest.

The Space Jump was extremely fast; people inside felt almost no time passing. The actual jump process spanned thousands of light-years in mere minutes.

The most troublesome part was actually traveling in and out of the Space Node.

Space Nodes were very peculiar; none are established near an Administrative Star. After jumping out from a Space Node, a ship takes several days to reach an Administrative Star.

After a brief rest and adjustment, Gao Xuan then took out the Book of All-Knowing.

Upon opening it, the first page immediately displayed the answer he sought.

The Perfect Gold promotion route: Six-winged Celestial Cicada, Undying Golden Cicada, Mechanical Martial Zen, Eight-Eyed Profound Cicada, Five-Colored True Cicada, Seven-winged Flying Cicada, Nine-Revolutions Divine Cicada.

Combining all seven marvels would elevate the Gold to near perfection.

(Note: This perfection is limited within the known cosmic environment.)

The Book of All-Knowing was very reliable, providing detailed annotations of each marvel, specifying combination sequences and other details.

After reading the Book of All-Knowing’s answer, Gao Xuan felt a bit frustrated: "What the hell is this, where does all these bugs come from, are you kidding me! Right? Right..."
