King of Assassins-Chapter 831 - 609: In Full Bloom (Part 2)

Gao Xuan nodded slightly, "Thank you, Minister Xu."

Xu Jun stared hard at the back of Yu Hong'en, his face somewhat ferocious, "Indeed a noble youth, truly impressive."

Taurus is the lord of the Twelve Star Domain, and the noble families of Taurus are indeed more powerful.

However, the Xu Family's foundation is in the Central Star Realm. To the Xu Family, the Twelve Star Domain is all rural and remote.

Yuanlong Company's location in Mingjing is just the ancestral house in the countryside. That's all.

Xu Jun felt that the Xu Family had a lot of prestige, yet he was so ignored by Yu Hong'en, which made it really difficult for him to accept.

The bodyguard beside him was sensible and took the initiative to hand Xu Jun a drink. Xu Jun took a sip of wine, and his face gradually returned to normal.

He kept glancing at the time on his wristband, and as the time drew near, the worry on his face became apparent.

But he didn't dare to contact the other party, he could only wait passively.

Yu Hong'en had already brought people back, raising his chin at Xu Jun, "The time has come, where's your friend?"

Xu Jun felt embarrassed and explained, "There's been a little delay, please wait a little longer."

"Your time is worthless, but I can't waste my life on you."

Yu Hong'en ignored Xu Jun then, pointing at Gao Xuan, "Being a turtle hiding in its shell won't help you, if I want you dead, you'll be dead."

Gao Xuan calmly looked at Xu Jun, his gaze deep and indifferent, without sadness or joy.

This made Xu Jun very unhappy; he didn't like Gao Xuan's reaction. He grasped the Profound Ice Sword at his waist, just waiting for the moment he drew his sword to strike him down on the spot.

Killing in public, of course, would bring some trouble, but only some trouble.

For the sake of the Yao Family, Yu Hong'en wouldn't do this. Yet after meeting Gao Xuan twice, he was truly irritated by the other's calm demeanor.

Gao Xuan's calm indifference was like a tiger looking at a dog barking, like an elder watching a mischievous grandson. This especially annoyed Yu Hong'en.

What right does a lowly individual have to act profound in front of him!

He wanted to see if this guy would howl and scream when cut in two.

Xu Jun also realized something was wrong; Yu Hong'en seemed ready to take action forcibly! His face turned pale.

Despite being a fop, Yu Hong'en was of Foundation Establishment Cultivation. If he drew his sword, none present could stand against him.

At this point, Xu Jun was no longer concerned for Gao Xuan's life or death; he was afraid that Yu Hong'en might kill him too in his murderous excitement.

Leng Li standing behind Xu Jun also grew tense. This time she followed along just to protect Xu Jun.

As Yu Hong'en gripped his sword, Sword Intent naturally radiated throughout the room. Leng Li, though a Tenth-level Expert, armed with the latest Yaksha Biochemical Armor, still found it hard to resist the pervasive Sword Intent from Yu Hong'en.

Even though no moves were made yet, Leng Li knew she wasn't his match. The gap between her and Foundation Establishment Level was too wide. The Sword Intent, triggered by Foundation Establishment Divine Soul, was ephemeral yet sharp, chilling her soul, and the Source Power in her body was suppressed by the opponent's Sword Intent.

However, Leng Li quickly noticed something different about Gao Xuan.

The Sword Intent emanating from Yu Hong'en engulfed the room, covering the entire hall. Many there didn't know what was happening, they just felt a chill all over, instinctively generating intense fear in their hearts.

The hall seemed frozen, everyone's movements and expressions stiffened.

Yet Gao Xuan, facing Yu Hong'en directly, remained so calm and indifferent. It seemed he was utterly unaffected by Yu Hong'en's formidable Sword Intent.

At this moment, Leng Li couldn't help but wonder in amazement, was this Black Tiger dull to the point of fearlessness, or did he truly have the Power to resist the Sword Intent.

Yu Hong'en was also somewhat puzzled, the Spiritual Power of this Black Tiger profound and unfathomable, his Sword Intent pressed, yet elicited no normal response.

Below Foundation Establishment, is there anyone who can withstand his Sword Intent? Could it be a believer of an Evil God?

He indeed wanted to see the other party's ability. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

Just as Yu Hong'en was about to strike, the hall's large door was suddenly pushed open, a tall young man strode quickly inside.

The man had rugged features and wore a black military uniform, projecting an aura of impressive majesty.

From afar, he called out loudly, "Apologies, I'm a step late."

Seeing this young man, Yu Hong'en's expression also changed, "Xiao Peng."

Although the Xiao Family has long ceased to be the Alliance Leader of the Twelve Star Domain, it remains the oldest and strongest noble family.

For decades, Xiao Peng's fame spread far and wide, he was an outstanding figure among the younger generation of the Xiao Family. He loved making friends and somehow connected with Xu Jun.

Yu Hong'en didn't quite fear Xiao Peng, but compared to him, he was indeed a notch lower.

The difference lay mainly in their status and influence. In terms of Cultivation, they were about equal.

Both were of Foundation Establishment, who could be much stronger than whom?

Yu Hong'en's expression was unpleasant, but Xu Jun was filled with joy. Xiao Peng's arrival dispelled the pervasive chill of Sword Intent.

Xu Jun hurried to greet Xiao Peng, "Brother Xiao, you're finally here."

Xiao Peng warmly shook hands with Xu Jun, "Had a little trouble on the way, delayed a bit. Fortunately, I made it in time."

Leading Xiao Peng to Yu Hong'en, before Xu Jun could speak, Xiao Peng proactively and cheerfully greeted Yu Hong'en, "Hong'en, hasn't been a while. How's your sister?"

Yu Hong'en, somewhat displeased, replied, "She's alright."

Then he questioned, "Xiao Peng, are you going to meddle in my affairs?"

Xiao Peng gestured dismissively, "Certainly not. However, Xu Jun is my friend, and you are my friend too, a small matter indeed, let me be the mediator."

He said to Yu Hong'en, "Hong'en, do me a favor."

Yu Hong'en stared at Xiao Peng, "I want that guy dead, are you truly going to oppose me?"

"Calm down, calm down."
