Tifeng came out of the room with the Golden Crow Sword and leisurely walked to the observation platform on the top floor of Xinghai Mansion.

This observation platform is not open to the public; only hotel guests can enter after passing their personal identity verification.

At this time, the sky had deepened, and the last glow of the sunset burned on the horizon, reddening half the sky. On the other side, the sky was already dark, and two moons, one large and one small, had emerged.

On one side, the fading sunset was as red as blood, while on the other, the early moonlight was as cool as water.

Standing on the observation platform of the top floor of Xinghai Mansion, one could still see the vast city illuminated by the sunset and the early moon.

Buildings were neatly distributed, twinkling gently in the twilight.

Purple Wall City retained its ancient cultural heritage. Though high-rises were everywhere, they were in a classical and exquisite style, lacking those dazzling modern lights.

In the nocturnal city, the lights were all restrained and understated, giving the entire city a tranquil beauty.

Tifeng felt that the night scenery of Purple Wall City was beautiful. Other cities were too restless and modern, lacking this serene beauty.

Tifeng very much liked the beauty of Purple Wall City, which allowed him to feel the historical atmosphere precipitated by time, and a sense of endless civilization.

After quietly appreciating the beautiful twilight of Purple Wall City for a while, Tifeng turned back from the door and saw Gao Xuan and Qin Ken talking in the pavilion.

The pavilion was located in the center of the observation platform, surrounded by planted chrysanthemums and orchids, with a corridor built around it.

The outside of the building was completely enclosed by transparent air glass, isolating the observation platform from the outside.

The structure of the observation platform did not affect the view yet retained an antique flavor. It was ingeniously built.

Gao Xuan and Qin Ken in the pavilion didn't look at Tifeng.

Tifeng didn't care about the two people and sat down on the left side of Gao Xuan inside the pavilion.

Inside the pavilion, there was actually a robot in ancient costume deftly making tea, its face gentle and well-mannered, performing actions smoothly and fluently.

Seeing Tifeng sit down, the robot bowed deeply to greet him silently, then washed a cup and poured a cup of fresh tea for Tifeng.

Tifeng took a sip of tea and found it quite good, with a delicate fragrance, the tea soup clear and pure, the aftertaste lingering pleasantly.

Qin Ken showed a look of displeasure on his face. He was about to talk business with Gao Xuan when Tifeng arrived.

Was this guy Tifeng deliberately here to ruin things?

Qin Ken said to Gao Xuan with spiritual power, "Can't you see it? Tifeng is here to kill you. Give me the Creation Golden Core, and I can still save your life this time."

Gao Xuan smiled, "What if you take the Creation Golden Core and then have Tifeng kill me? I can't trust you."

Qin Ken was a bit annoyed, "I gave you the championship, and the Sword King title too. I did everything we agreed on beforehand. Yet, you won't give the Creation Golden Core to me. What is your intention?"

"I have no intention. I just don't want to give the Creation Golden Core to you," Gao Xuan said slowly.

"Are you trying to cheat?" Qin Ken found it hard to believe. Did Gao Xuan really want to risk his life by cheating him?

Gao Xuan was a bit surprised, "You figured it out. Impressive."

Qin Ken was furious. He had lived for hundreds of years, playing mind games with people every day, yet he was fooled by a nineteen-year-old kid?

He wasn't sure how the other party dared to fool him.

Qin Ken suppressed his anger and asked in a deep voice, "Gao Xuan, I don't like jokes."

Gao Xuan also restrained his smile, "I'm not joking."

Qin Ken looked at Gao Xuan's incomparably handsome face, his eyes filled with deep doubt. Had this young man done all this just to make fun of him? Was he crazy?

Or did this young man have other backing?

Qin Ken couldn't help but grasp the sword hilt on his waist, his face turning serious, "I still don't understand what you are thinking. Give me the thing, and we can call it even. You are putting me in a difficult position by breaking your promise."

"The Creation Golden Core isn't very important to me. It wouldn't matter giving it to you. But I just want to make it difficult for you."

Gao Xuan grinned, but his words were sharper and more acerbic than a sword edge, deeply wounding even someone as experienced as Qin Ken.

Qin Ken stared at Gao Xuan, looking like a lovesick woman betrayed by a scoundrel, his gaze filled with disbelief and anger, along with a bit of sorrow and pain.

If it weren't for the Creation Golden Core, Qin Ken would have already drawn his sword to kill this kid.

But with the Creation Golden Core still unattained, he had to endure.

Qin Ken said, suppressing his murderous intent, "Gao Xuan, don't go too far."

"You tease me, I play you; we're both no-good. Why pretend to be pure?"

Gao Xuan said with a radiant smile, "I'm just fooling with you, and you're still not giving up. Hahaha..."

"Kid, killing you is like killing a dog for me," Qin Ken couldn't hold back, his face full of killing intent, "I'll tell you one last time, don't court death."

To Qin Ken's surprise, Gao Xuan wasn't angry or showed any sign of fear. Instead, he nodded, "Right, after all, you are a Golden, have some temper."

Qin Ken really couldn't hold back, and he drew the City-Breaking Sword, slashing straight at Gao Xuan's neck.

His swordsmanship was exceptionally high, his sword drawing and striking as fast as lightning, without moving his body or swaying his shoulders, completing a series of changes with just his arm, elbow, and wrist.

Qin Ken's sword-drawing was graceful and elegant, and the strong Golden Level City-Breaking Sword Intent pressed directly on Gao Xuan.

The Golden Powerhouse did not say a word before drawing his sword, practically an ambush.

Qin Ken didn't care about this, not knowing what cards Gao Xuan had. Once he decided to act, he used all his strength.

Tifeng across felt something was wrong and immediately retreated swiftly.

The moment the azure sword light of the City-Breaking Sword slashed at Gao Xuan's neck, Gao Xuan finally drew his sword.

The Hongyi Sword turned into a dazzling ripple of flowing water, rising.

As an initial-tier Gold, Qin Ken's average physical attributes wouldn't exceed 30 points. Gao Xuan's agility, power, and constitution all reached 38 points, fully overpowering Qin Ken.

In terms of spiritual power, the gap between the two was even greater.

Qin Ken considered his power hidden, yet Gao Xuan saw through all his changes.

The azure sword light bent and deformed amid the rippling water, and all the sword Qi and sword intent of the City-Breaking Sword were completely broken. The rippling light silently and unobtrusively entered Qin Ken's brow, then both beams of sword light dissipated together.

Sitting opposite Gao Xuan, Qin Ken's old eyes were filled with astonishment and dread. A trail of blood slowly seeped across his old eyes.

After a pause, a large burst of blood light suddenly sprayed from the back of Qin Ken's head. The light in his eyes quickly dimmed and extinguished.

Tifeng, who had retreated swiftly, was also full of shock. Qin Ken was killed by Gao Xuan just like that?!

From drawing to resheathing his sword, Gao Xuan's sword movement was incredibly fast, yet gentle as drifting clouds and soft as the breeze, the sword intent like clear and mirrored autumn water reflecting the sky.

This sword was unworldly, indeed having the demeanor of an immortal controlling a sword.

In this battle, Gao Xuan completely defeated Qin Ken. He had evidently condensed a spirit core, advancing to the Golden Level.

Advancing to the Golden Level at the age of nineteen, he should be the first since human records. Even more terrifying was this young man's restraint, hiding his advance to the Golden Level and only drawing his sword for a decisive strike on Qin Ken at the critical moment.

Poor Qin Ken, an experienced Golden, caught unprepared and resolved with one strike by Gao Xuan.

Tifeng pointed the virtual Eternal Spear at Gao Xuan, his old face full of caution and vigilance. This young man was too terrifying, he had to be extremely careful. (Please vote and support~)
