King of Assassins

Chapter 367: Like Killing a Dog


The cold and desolate asteroid, Gao Xuan stood alone talking to himself.

This place not only lacked people, but even lacked air. The sound of Gao Xuan's voice couldn't be transmitted out.

However, a powerful spiritual power echoed through the void: The game has just begun!

The golden blood mist flying across the sky suddenly gathered into a mass, forming a strange blood-colored flame symbol.

"Master of Blood."

Gao Xuan was very familiar with this symbol; every member of the Blood God Association would leave this mark within their body.

The difference was, the mark for ordinary members was just a mark, indistinguishable from a tattoo.

For the senior members of the Blood God Association, the mark was a divine power imprint left by the Master of Blood. It possessed various marvelous abilities.

The Master of Blood is an extremely powerful evil god. Among all known evil gods, the Master of Blood is the top-tier divine.

It also possesses great divine techniques, capable of granting all sorts of divine techniques. Bringing the dead back to life is very easy for it.

Gao Xuan had long suspected Qin Xuan was the Vice President of the Blood God Association, and the current situation undoubtedly proved Qin Xuan's identity as a high-level follower of the Master of Blood.

The blood-colored flames exploded suddenly, and from within, Qin Xuan was resurrected in the blood-colored flames.

Qin Xuan was stark naked, his face pale, and his eyes had turned red. His whole being seemed quite weak.

Yet, Gao Xuan did not act. When such divine techniques were employed, Qin Xuan was completely protected by divine power, existing in another dimensional space.

No matter how strong Gao Xuan's power was, he could not reach that dimensional space. This is the strength of the divine.

On the level of life, the divine is a rank higher than humans.

All top-level golden powerhouses dream of becoming divine. Unfortunately, in three thousand years, not a single golden powerhouse has successfully achieved divine enthronement.

Many strong individuals believe that humans and divine are two different forms of life. Just as dolphins, regardless of their intelligence, cannot transform into monkeys. This is the essence of two different species.

No matter how humans evolve, they cannot become divine.

Yet many strong individuals firmly believe that humans have infinite potential, becoming a form of life stronger than divine.

The Perfect Gold Body theory is actually a human challenge against the divine's concept, a plan.

Gao Xuan's resurrection came with the expectation of mastering the path to achieving a perfect golden body.

Instead, he was hit head-on by the Book of All-Knowing. The perfect golden body he envisioned was far, far from the true perfect gold.

Even the path to perfect gold provided by the Book of All-Knowing had a limiting condition.

It is evident that the so-called perfect gold doesn't exist at all.

Comparatively, gaining divine techniques by worshipping an evil god is undoubtedly a shortcut. No wonder even strong individuals like Qin Xuan became followers of an evil god.

Or conversely, Qin Xuan achieved such great success because he worshipped an evil god.

"Master of Blood. The Qin family people truly have guts."

Song Town's spiritual power condensed into a spirit projection beside Gao Xuan, his old face full of emotion.

Having lived for almost a thousand years, he was very familiar with the Blood God Association. He was even familiar with the Master of Blood.

Seeing Qin Xuan's state, he knew he was a core follower of the Master of Blood.

Existing in another dimensional space, Qin Xuan only glanced at Song Town indifferently, ignoring his remarks.

With divine power backing him, he wasn't afraid of Song Town. Moreover, the Song family acted tactfully and wouldn't become enemies with him just because he worshipped the Master of Blood.

Song Town said to Gao Xuan, "Young man, let me give you a piece of advice, leave now."

Gao Xuan frowned and said, "Why should I leave? Everyone should slay the Evil God's believers."

Song Town was a bit surprised, as Gao Xuan, deep-minded and perceptive like an abyss, saying such upright and righteous words didn't seem like him.

However, Gao Xuan's expression was solemn, with a firm tone, his words seemed utterly sincere.

Even Song Town, perceptive and understanding, was a bit puzzled. Could Gao Xuan truly be an impassioned and righteous youth? But in every other way, Gao Xuan didn't fit that image.

At Song Town's age, he no longer cared about so-called good and evil, he only perceived benefits.

He wouldn't be moved by Gao Xuan's righteous fervor, nor would he oppose Qin Xuan just because he worshipped an evil god.

Regardless of whether Gao Xuan's words were true or false, at least he conveyed an attitude of fighting to the death.

Song Town became interested, Qin Xuan had an evil god's protection, able to resurrect. With such divine techniques defying heaven, would Gao Xuan still dare to fight? What trump card did he have?

The resurrected Qin Xuan had numerous blood-colored symbols emerging on his body, these symbols continuously flashed with light. Soon all the blood-colored symbols shone brightly together.

On the surface of Qin Xuan's body, a set of blood-colored scale armor rapidly formed, and his Source Power aura was rapidly expanding.

Song Town couldn't help but sigh, "It's already reached fifteen million degrees, the evil god indeed has skills."

Even Song Town felt a bit jealous, golden powerhouses could kill gods, but couldn't possess such reality-transcending powers like the divine.

He also noticed in the depths of Qin Xuan's eyes, there were nine-layered blood rings, one encircling the other.

The blood rings flickered with a red flame light, turning Qin Xuan's eyes into two flames. In this state, Qin Xuan was like a ghost or god, no longer having any human aura.

Song Town said again to Gao Xuan, "Young man, you might not understand the Master of Blood. It has a divine technique called Blood Flame Nine Rings, allowing Qin Xuan to break through limits. You still have time to leave now."

Song Town appreciated Gao Xuan somewhat and didn't want to watch him die like that. On the other hand, Gao Xuan alive could still cause the Qin family a lot of trouble.

Gao Xuan cupped his hands in thanks, "Thank you, elder, for the reminder."

He brushed his Hongyi Sword, the sword's blade shone with a brilliance resembling autumn water, radiating boundless Sword Qi.

"Such mere demon clowns, not worth a strike."

Gao Xuan said calmly, "Elder, just watch how I slay demons and uphold the way."

Gao Xuan's words were bold, but Song Town didn't find anything wrong with them. Reaching this level of cultivation, one should indeed have strong confidence.

If a single word made Gao Xuan turn and run, that would be disappointing.

Song Town nodded approvingly, "Such sharpness, truly a young hero. I secretly hope you will succeed."

He sighed, "Qin Xuan, such an Evil God's Believer, is no good. Killing Qin Xuan won't change the world, but at least it can make the world a bit cleaner."

Song Town and Gao Xuan exchanged Spiritual communication, unafraid of Qin Xuan hearing it. Even if Qin Xuan heard, it wouldn't matter. With his cultivation, why would he fear Qin Xuan?

The Song Family has always been strongly opposed to the Evil Gods. As a vast noble family with at least hundreds of millions of people, some among them also take evil paths.

However, the core direct lineage of the Song Family absolutely does not allow believing in Evil Gods.

Once associated with Evil Gods, there is no shaking it off. Even if it brings benefits, the costs are far greater.

Song Town understood very early on that the relationship between humans and the divine is just a transactional one.

Human beings are ignorant of the divine. How could they profit from trading with them?

The evil rituals of the Evil Gods would fundamentally disrupt human order.

The Song Family is traditionally rooted; they can overlook the lowly from on high but will not destroy the powerful order in the world that has formed over millennia.

As Gao Xuan and Song Town communicated, Qin Xuan fully recovered his state, taking a step forward into the real space.

The resurrected Qin Xuan had crimson scale armor all over, with eyes burning like fire, an overwhelming presence.

The current Qin Xuan is completely different from just before.

Previously, though sinister, Qin Xuan's presence was grand and domineering, having an aura of an emperor and the demeanor of a master. Now, his presence is ten times stronger, yet as eerie as a demon.

Qin Xuan ran his hand over the Dragon Abyss Sword, which also ignited in crimson gold flames.

He pointed the sword at Gao Xuan, "I underestimated you for not running away."

Gao Xuan said disdainfully, "A dog of the Evil God is not fit to speak to me."

"The little one should die."

The revived Qin Xuan, his Divine Soul was soaked in the Master of Blood's Divine Power. Though he did not lose wisdom and memory, his soul was deeply twisted. Inevitably, he became more irritable.

Given Gao Xuan's involvement with the Master of Blood, the words were harsh but hard to refute, and Qin Xuan could only irritably unleash Sword Qi.

The same Emperor Qin's Six Harmonies Sword, once augmented by the Blood Flame Nine Rings, took on a rich blood color. Gone was the majestic grandeur, replaced by an indescribable eeriness.

Behind Qin Xuan, layers of blood-colored flames formed nine rings, spreading to cover most of the sky.

The nine-layered blood rings connected directly to the Sea of Source Power, drawing Endless Source Power from it. Through the nine rings, Source Power was extracted, then controlled by Qin Xuan's Spirit Core, turning into formidable Sword Qi.

This nine-layered blood ring acted as an external Source Power for Qin Xuan, allowing the operation of Source Power to approach twenty million degrees.

The raging blood-colored Sword Qi radiated everywhere, even disrupting Song Town's Spirit Projection, making it flicker like a candle in the wind.

Song Town frowned; Blood Flame Nine Rings increased Qin Xuan's Source Power by fifty percent. This was extremely frightening.

In a confrontation between powerhouses, strong Source Power alone cannot win.

Fighting is a multifaceted chess game, with Source Power as just the foundation. Combat Awareness, battle skills, combat will, combat weapons, and the battleground—each level is complex.

Qin Xuan was strong on all levels, and even with the surge in Source Power, he could completely control it. Though already nearing his limit.

But his advantage at the Source Power level was too great, enough to disregard the gap in Swordsmanship between him and Gao Xuan.

Blood Flame Nine Rings identified with proportionally strengthening Qin Xuan's Spiritual Power, meaning Qin Xuan's Spiritual Attribute should reach about 39 points, nearing 40 points.

This state of Qin Xuan even posed a certain threat to Song Town.

Song Town looked worriedly at Gao Xuan. Facing power at this level, all tactics and tricks were useless.

The Blood Flame Nine Rings carried a trace of Divine Power, creating eerily sinister Sword Qi that penetrated into the Divine Soul.

Song Town's Spirit Projection within the Sword Qi range found his Divine Soul inescapably corroded by the sinister Sword Qi.

The Emperor Qin's Six Harmonies Sword transformed in this state had entirely changed its Sword Intent but doubled its power.

If Gao Xuan didn't have some heaven-defying ace card, he was doomed to lose this time!

Much to Song Town's surprise, Gao Xuan did not take out any powerful marvels; he merely swept the Hongyi Sword:

"This cold star of a sword measures four feet, piercing the sky and river without rest.

What do demons and monsters amount to, when wiped out, the jade cosmos clears."

As Gao Xuan recited with Spiritual Power, the Heaven and Water Sword Intent in his Spirit Core soared, and the Sword Qi fluctuations instantly surpassed the twenty million limit.

In Qin Xuan's eyes, a look of astonishment appeared, the nine-layered flames in his eyes quivered and shook.

The Ming Che Sword Light of the Hongyi Sword flowed straight to his forehead, piercing Qin Xuan instantly.

Qin Xuan let out a mental roar, and suddenly the nine-layered flame surged in strength, all the boundless Sword Qi converged onto the Dragon Abyss Sword, striking fiercely against the Hongyi Sword.

As the two swords clashed, the endless Sword Qi erupted explosively.

Qin Xuan's Dragon Abyss Sword was knocked aside, while the Hongyi Sword pierced straight into Qin Xuan's brow, severing his Spirit Core and the Divine Power imprint in his Sea of Awareness!

The fire in Qin Xuan's eyes dissipated layer by layer. He looked at Gao Xuan somewhat blankly, as if he could not believe he had lost just like that.

Gao Xuan said calmly, "Well, I didn't exaggerate, did I? Killing you is as easy as killing a dog."

Qin Xuan wanted to speak, but the Spiritual Light in his eyes quickly dimmed. Then, his entire body exploded into countless fragments.
