King of Assassins

Chapter 363 Shameless


Qin Xuan held a much higher status in the Qin Family than Qin Ken and his prowess in swordsmanship far surpassed Qin Ken's as well.

Qin Xuan had, of course, seen Tifeng's corpse, and he also noticed that two Golden Powerhouses had been killed with a single sword strike each.

This showed that Gao Xuan had a significant advantage in battle, which allowed him to easily slay the two Golden Powerhouses.

As for Tifeng and Qin Ken, Qin Xuan actually looked down on both of them a little.

Qin Ken was a despicable person, while Tifeng was stubborn and foolish. Neither could be called a true powerhouse.

Although Tifeng possessed the Eternal Spear, his own cultivation was insufficient, and he could not unleash the full might of the Eternal Spear.

Judging by Tifeng's state when he died, he hadn't even used the Eternal Spear.

Otherwise, how could Gao Xuan have been left unscathed?

Though the Eternal Spear had pierced through Gao Xuan's chest, it was merely a flesh wound. Once the spear was withdrawn, the wound healed immediately.

A constitution of 38 points is no joke. While Gao Xuan tidied up his things, he also changed his torn clothes.

Even with his sharp eyes, Qin Xuan couldn't tell that Gao Xuan had been hit by the Eternal Spear.

This wasn't a matter of his observation skills failing but rather a judgment he made after analyzing the situation.

If Gao Xuan had been struck by the Eternal Spear, he would have been severely injured if not dead.

The Law of the Eternal Spear that hits and pierces without fail is incredibly powerful. Aside from a few Marvels, no other method can withstand the Eternal Spear.

Qin Xuan thought Gao Xuan must have used some mysterious tactic to deal with Tifeng so effortlessly.

As for Qin Ken, it was clear that Gao Xuan had killed him with a single sword thrust, dying a cowardly death.

Qin Xuan drew his sword, prepared to strike, and Song Muyang, sensing the bad turn of events, quickly exited the pavilion and joined Song Yunxi and the others.

Song Muyang said to Song Yunxi and the others, "You must leave immediately."

Liu Po, Yuan Wuxian, and the others all shook their heads. What a joke, witnessing Golden Powerhouses fighting to the death is extremely rare. They wouldn't leave even on pain of death.

At Liu Po's level, even his sword masters were Golden Powerhouses. Normally, he frequently witnessed spars between Golden Powerhouses.

But a fight to the death between Golden Powerhouses was something they had never seen.

At the level of a Golden Powerhouse, they possessed wealth and fame; few would opt for a life-and-death struggle with their peers.

Not to mention Liu Po, even Song Muyang, a Golden Powerhouse himself, had never seen such a scene.

It was even his first time seeing the corpse of a Golden Powerhouse.

Song Muyang cursed inwardly, thinking these youngsters were truly reckless.

When two Golden Powerhouses fight, it's not just a matter of who wins or loses; the destructive power they bring is hard to control.

A stray wave of Sword Qi could easily wipe out Liu Po and the others.

Besides, there were thousands of people inside Xinghai Mansion. This was also the city center of Purple Wall City, densely populated.

Song Muyang knew he was far inferior compared to Qin Xuan and Gao Xuan, but at this moment, he had to step forward.

Song Muyang suddenly shouted, "Stop!"

Qin Xuan cast a cold glance at Song Muyang, "You want to shield this kid?"

"No."

Song Muyang hurriedly waved his hand and spoke earnestly, "I'm not in a position to interfere in your matters. But this is the city center, and it's inconvenient to fight here."

He pointed in the direction of the setting sun, "Over there is Luoxia Mountain, just about two hundred kilometers from here."

Qin Xuan maintained a calm expression and said nothing; he was afraid Gao Xuan would seize the chance to escape and was unwilling to change locations.

Fights always incurred casualties. With Qin Ken already dead, why fear a few tens of thousands of people in Purple Wall City accompanying him?

Besides, this whole situation was provoked by Gao Xuan. Any fallout should be his responsibility.

Gao Xuan also waved his hand, "No need to complicate things. Killing him is as easy as cutting grass. Not a drop of blood will splash on you, rest assured."

Qin Xuan sneered silently. How could someone of his stature engage in a verbal spat with Gao Xuan?

Letting a junior have a momentary victory of words amounted to nothing. In battle, it was all about whose sword was faster.

Liu Po and others were dumbfounded. Was this really the Gao Xuan they knew?

Standing opposite was Qin Xuan, nicknamed the Unreturning Sword. Once the Dragon Abyss Sword was drawn, it sent opponents directly to their death, famous for its kill rate as soon as the sword was unsheathed.

Qin Xuan was considered a stronghold of the hawkish faction in the Qin Family, always assertive in external dealings. Furthermore, he was particularly active.

His presence was felt in various diplomatic matters, and major families in the Central Star Realm were very familiar with Qin Xuan and his assertive style.

For juniors like Liu Po, despite having noble bloodlines and being deemed geniuses, their actual status was leagues apart from Qin Xuan's.

Simply put, if Qin Xuan sat down, they would have to stand. They didn't even have the right to speak proactively with Qin Xuan.

Golden Powerhouses from major noble families had airs even greater than ancient emperors. The rules were meticulously observed.

Liu Po and other younglings didn't really like these formalities and rules either. Their low cultivation and low seniority meant that they always lost out when it came to formalities and rules.

Seeing Gao Xuan being disrespectful to Qin Xuan left everyone shocked and secretly pleased.

Both parties had drawn their swords; even then, Qin Xuan maintained an aloof demeanor, which truly annoyed the spectators.

Of course, Qin Jian would have viewed it differently from the others. He certainly hoped Qin Xuan would win.

Yet he always had a bit of worry, with Gao Xuan's calm and mysterious demeanor after having killed Qin Ken and Tifeng, he was undoubtedly a formidable enemy.

Qin Xuan's arrogance stood in sharp contrast to Gao Xuan's composure, falling far short.

This was a subtle feeling that Qin Jian couldn't quite pinpoint.

In reality, both Gao Xuan and Qin Xuan kept their inner selves restrained, neither triggering Sword Qi nor unleashing Sword Intent.

Both controlled their powers, avoiding being seen through by the other.

Of course, Gao Xuan's spiritual power far surpassed Qin Xuan's. The Six-winged Celestial Cicada, having undergone several evolutions, was an extraordinary marvel.

Qin Xuan, although keeping his aura contained, was more or less seen through by Gao Xuan.

In terms of cultivation, Qin Xuan was stronger than Tifeng. He possessed greater spiritual power as well.

The Dragon Abyss Sword was a top-tier Sword Artifact; although not a law-type marvel like the Eternal Spear, its power exceeded the current Celestial Spirit Sword Box.

The Celestial Spirit Sword Box was still in a phase of growth, with a terrifying potential ceiling.

The Dragon Abyss Sword, on the other hand, was in a peak state, making comparisons unfair.

Based on Gao Xuan's observations, the Sword Qi of the Dragon Abyss Sword could reach a level of tens of millions of degrees.

Qin Xuan's swordsmanship and martial arts are stronger than Tifeng's. Without the Eternal Spear, Qin Xuan could easily slay Tifeng.

As Gao Xuan walked along, excluding those Evil Gods, Qin Xuan was the strongest golden powerhouse he encountered since his rebirth.

Characters like the Celestial Snake King were nothing compared to Qin Xuan.

At the middle tier gold level, Qin Xuan was standing at the top. No wonder he was so confident.

Additionally, this Qin Xuan was particularly suspicious. Gao Xuan suspected he was the vice president of the Blood God Association.

The information summarized from Nuwa also pointed to this Qin Xuan.

Gao Xuan didn't leave after killing Qin Ken because he was waiting for Qin Xuan.

Sure enough, the opponent quickly came over.

Since Qin Xuan drew his sword to fight, Gao Xuan didn't need to probe and could directly kill the opponent.

Whether Qin Xuan was the vice president of the Blood God Association or not, it wasn't wrong to kill him.

It should be noted that at the level of the vice president of the Blood God Association, they all bear the Divine Seal left by the Master of Blood on them.

This Divine Seal is a spiritual mark left by the Master of Blood, extremely powerful. It can be regarded as a powerful marvel.

The Divine Seal can resurrect a person, greatly increase spiritual power, and wield the distinctive divine techniques of the God of Blood.

It can even summon the projection of the Master of Blood's avatar.

The Blood God Association probably has over a dozen vice presidents, and each vice president is very important. The Master of Blood would not easily abandon these strong followers.

If Qin Xuan were truly a vice president of the Blood God Association, it would indeed be a bit troublesome.

Qin Xuan didn't know that Gao Xuan had already seen through him; he was also observing Gao Xuan but couldn't determine the foundation of his power.

Despite his outward arrogance and conceit, he was actually very cautious inside.

Conflicts at this level are extremely dangerous; a slight mistake could lead to death here.

Both Qin Xuan and Gao Xuan had their own thoughts, and neither wanted to make a move easily.

Suddenly, Song Muyang drew his sword and loudly said, "Whoever makes the first move, I'll help the other side."

He further explained, "I'm not biased to anyone; this is the Taiwei Star, and we Song Family people are responsible for maintaining the safety of the Taiwei Star and protecting the ordinary people…"

Song Muyang's words were powerful and impassioned.

The geniuses like Liu Po and Yuan Wuxian, who were preparing to watch the show, were full of admiration. This youngest golden powerhouse of the Song family indeed has courage and spirit.

These young people, with their blood still hot, still believed in righteousness and were willing to take responsibility. They all felt that what Song Muyang did was right.

A golden powerhouse should have the awareness of a golden powerhouse!

Qin Xuan sneered silently, finding Song Muyang's statement not only naive but also foolish.

The so-called responsibility is just a saying to gather the lower classes. Only fools would take it seriously.

However, he didn't need to refute Song Muyang. As for whom Song Muyang would help, it didn't matter much.

In battles of this level, Song Muyang's influence is limited.

The key is that this is Purple Wall City, the main nest of the Song family. If this deadlock continues, it's feared that other powerhouses of the Song family will arrive soon.

Realizing this, Qin Xuan sensed something. He turned sideways and saw an elder had appeared beside him.

This elder was dressed in a Taoist topknot and cap, with wide sleeves, dignified features, a rosy complexion, and white hair and beard.

The most conspicuous thing about the elder was the black wooden ruler in his hand.

The wooden ruler had been handled for a long time, with a polished and glossy patina on its surface.

In fact, the wooden ruler itself wasn't anything special, but in the elder's hand, it had a weighty presence.

Qin Xuan's pupils slightly dilated — the Heaven Measuring Sword, Song Town. The wooden ruler in this person's hand was indeed the world-famous Heaven Measuring Sword.

With one sword in hand, it measures the breadth of the world, the depth of the human heart, and the fate of all beings...

Song Town is a top powerhouse of the Song family, an upper-tier gold, and some even say he is a top tier gold, infinitely close to a Divine.

This elder, aged over nine hundred, hadn't publicly appeared in three or four hundred years.

Qin Xuan knew well that other Song family powerhouses would definitely come. He didn't act rashly, partly because he was cautious of the Song family.

Despite the Song family appearing gentle and benevolent externally, the Song family people are in reality quite cunning.

Truly benevolent people had long been extinct and couldn't possibly lead the Song family to dominate the Central Star Realm.

But he hadn't expected that it would be Song Town to personally show up.

Qin Xuan could be unkind to Song Muyang but dared not act rashly before Song Town. He put away the Dragon Abyss Sword and respectfully bowed to Song Town, "Junior Qin Xuan greets Elder Mr. Song."

The age gap between them was five hundred years, and the seniority was too vast. He could only respectfully call him elder.

Song Town smiled amiably, "No need to be so polite, young one from the Qin Family."

He then turned to Gao Xuan and asked, "Young friend, how should I address you?"

Facing Song Town, Gao Xuan also felt the pressure. This kindly and amiable old grandpa could flatten everyone on the spot with a wave of the Heaven Measuring Sword in his hand.

Of course, flattening him wouldn't be that easy.

Gao Xuan politely cupped his hands, "Greetings, Elder Mr. Song, I am Gao Xuan."

Song Town nodded approvingly, "Such a handsome young man."

He then asked with a cheerful smile, "Young friend, are you married?"

With these words, the faces of the people present changed.

Song Yunxi's face was flushed crimson. Song Muyang was both amazed and somewhat expectant. The geniuses like Liu Po appeared fully dejected, realizing the old man was openly soliciting a marriage proposal.

Qin Xuan's face changed as well. What did this old man mean? With some corpses still present, was he really introducing a marriage proposal to Gao Xuan?

If Gao Xuan married a girl from the Song family, it would be troublesome!

He was about to speak when a mountain-like, weighty sword intent descended, turning Qin Xuan's face purple with fury. The Dragon Abyss Sword in his hand buzzed and twisted as if a spirit snake pressed by a boulder, unable to escape the suppression of the mountain-like sword intent.

Qin Xuan was shocked and enraged. This old man was indeed formidable! Instead of going after Gao Xuan, he bullied him. The old man forgot all decency!

He stared intently at Gao Xuan, now only hoping that Gao Xuan, in his pride, would refuse the old man's offer.

Gao Xuan smiled, "Elder, I am not married, not even engaged."

With just one sentence, Qin Xuan felt utterly defeated. He could only curse inwardly: Kid, you really have no shame!
