King of Assassins-Chapter 833 - 609: Blooming (Part 4)

It's obvious that this is an advanced rune transformation mastered only by the noble families. It's very mature and perfect.

Although Gao Xuan has perfectly integrated the Five Elements Runes, he hasn't done much in deducing the changes of the rune seed. Because this requires time accumulation, requiring countless experiments to polish.

He doesn't need to do this at all, as long as he analyzes the essential secrets of the rune seed. Whoever uses high-tier rune power transformation, he can learn it just by watching once.

Just like now, before Yu Hong'en has even drawn his sword, Gao Xuan has already completely seen through his divine soul and rune seed.

It should be said that the opponent's sword seal is very clever, much stronger than the Ice Seal that Gao Xuan deduced himself.

Gao Xuan didn't hold back, and first copied the opponent's sword seal entirely.

Yu Hong'en was completely unaware of this. He stopped twenty steps away from Gao Xuan.

He drew the Profound Ice Sword and pointed at Gao Xuan, shouting lowly, "Die!"

The snow-white Profound Ice Sword turned into a piercingly cold sword light, instantly stabbing toward Gao Xuan's forehead.

A sharp silver light suddenly flew from behind Gao Xuan's waist. The silver light spun rapidly in front of Gao Xuan's forehead like a wheel of light, instantly shredding the approaching Profound Ice Sword light to pieces.

"A flying sword, this is not good!"

Yu Hong'en immediately realized the danger. The Sword Qi of his Profound Ice Sword in his hand suddenly expanded, the cold, piercing sword light turning into thousands of sharp ice spikes, forming layer upon layer of translucent sword shields before him.

The biochemical battle armor in Yu Hong'en's body also immediately activated. The deep blue Ice Dragon Armor, with each piece of armor curved, glimmered with a beautiful deep blue metallic luster.

The face armor was like a half-closed mask, covering most of Yu Hong'en's face, with the eye area designed to be fully transparent. A coiled and flying dragon was engraved on the chest of the battle armor. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

The overall design of this battle armor was sleek and splendid, with many customized components.

The ice rune inside this battle armor was specially coordinated with Yu Hong'en's Ice Sword Seal.

With the emergence of the Ice Dragon Armor, the power of the Ice Sword Seal driven by Yu Hong'en also suddenly increased dramatically.

Centering on Yu Hong'en, a one-meter-diameter Ice Elemental Power protective shield appeared. Within this semi-transparent shield, faint white ice snakes surged back and forth.

This was the manifestation of the Ice Elemental Power in the air after it congealed. Within this shield, any external force would be frozen by the Ice Elemental Power, greatly reducing its power.

Yu Hong'en, knowledgeable as he was, knew instantly that something was wrong upon seeing the flying sword. Generally speaking, only Foundation Establishment cultivators can refine flying swords.

The samurais of the Holy Hall can wield flying swords due to the special sword boxes and unique cultivation methods of the Holy Hall.

Without Foundation Establishment cultivation, it's easy to throw out a flying sword but difficult to control it with divine soul power.

The way Gao Xuan wielded the flying sword was graceful and exquisite, as swift as lightning. He was definitely not an ordinary expert. His divine soul aura was perfected, displaying the demeanor of a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

Though unaware of the quality of the opponent's flying sword, Yu Hong'en dared not take the risk. He immediately activated the Ice Dragon Armor.

The Ice Elemental Power continued spreading rapidly, causing the temperature in the entire hall to instantly drop to dozens of degrees below zero. That bone-chilling cold made many people shiver all over.

No one in the audience expected that Gao Xuan would be able to block Yu Hong'en's strike and even wield a flying sword, forcing Yu Hong'en to arm himself with battle armor, escalating the battle to a fever pitch instantly.

Such an intense battle made the spectators around grow even more tense.

Xiao Peng's eyes flashed with a sharp light, his face full of amazement. He saw the divine soul power of Foundation Establishment level in Gao Xuan.

Indeed, the opponent's divine soul was fully unified, with pure power. It was the most obvious mark of the Foundation Establishment level.

To accomplish Foundation Establishment on a place like Pegasus Star, the opponent is truly a one-in-a-million cultivation genius.

Such a character is worth recruiting.

Thinking of this, Xiao Peng was ready to intervene now. Yu Hong'en was not certain to win against the opponent, and if he stopped the battle, both sides would need to owe him a favor.

Standing next to Xiao Peng, Xu Jun didn't think that much; he was already stunned at this point.

Xu Jun had no talent in cultivation, having been forcibly pushed to Level 10 through resources, which is the Bronze Upper Limit.

With his aptitude, it's absolutely impossible for him to achieve Foundation Establishment by himself. Nor did he have enough resources to forcibly establish a foundation.

However, he had a discerning eye. Just by witnessing the graceful wielding of the flying sword by Gao Xuan, he knew that Gao Xuan's cultivation was far beyond his own.

This man, who had risen from the bottom, was unexpectedly so patient and deep. With such formidable cultivation, he never showed it.

If they had known Gao Xuan was this formidable, they would certainly have protected him with all their might. But discussing this now is already too late.

Xu Jun suddenly remembered that Gao Xuan had said earlier not to blame him! Could it be, does Gao Xuan intend to kill Yu Hong'en? He was taken aback; if Yu Hong'en were really killed, that would be bad!

But in this level of battle, there was no room for others to speak.

The swiftly turning silver light wheel driven by Gao Xuan, after shredding waves of cold ice swords, suddenly shot forward.

Yu Hong'en drove a formation of ice swords to compose a sword shield, which rotated fiercely towards the front.

The sword shield, combining offense and defense, was characterized by protective resilience and relentless sharpness that cut through everything.

The circulating silver sword light, gleaming as it went, suddenly pierced through thousands of rapidly rotating ice swords, pierced through the protective shield activated by the Ice Dragon Armor, pierced through the face armor of the Ice Dragon Armor, and pierced through Yu Hong'en's forehead.

The silver sword light, ever advancing, radiated an endlessly unstoppable brilliance. The long silver trails left by the sword light seemed to split the entire hall in two.

In the eyes of everyone present, a deeply profound silver sword light remained, as if the sword light had severed their divine souls. In that instant, they all lost the ability to think.

Even Xiao Peng, ready to take action, was daunted by that silver sword light. A moment of daze, and it was already too late to intervene.

When the long silver trails gradually dissipated, the sword shield formed by tens of thousands of ice spikes violently exploded into countless sparkling ice crystals.

The floating ice crystals reflected the hall's lights, shining with multi-colored, beautiful brilliance.

Amidst the dazzling light, the motionless Yu Hong'en was full of terror. He seemed to want to say something to Gao Xuan, but before his mouth could open, his head silently shattered.

The splattering blood left clear arc trajectories amidst the sparkling ice crystals, forming a bizarre blooming chrysanthemum flower.

The people in the hall stood dumbfounded, staring at this scene, unable to utter a word.
