King of Assassins-Chapter 834 - 610: No Goodbyes

Xiao Peng established his Divine Soul Foundation, his Spiritual Power immense, and he was the first to react when Gao Xuan actually killed Yu Hong'en in public!

Yu Hong'en, although unruly, was a famous young talent on Taurus. After all, having enough resources doesn't mean achieving the Foundation Establishment is easy.

However, Yu Hong'en's frivolous and arrogant nature made him unpopular in the family, and the elders of the Yu Family did not have a high regard for him. Hence, he had time to mess around on Pegasus Star.

But regardless of Yu Hong'en's issues, he belonged to the direct lineage of the Yu Family and was a young master of their clan.

Gao Xuan, a mere low-level commoner, arrogantly killed Yu Hong'en in public—who gave him the courage?

Xiao Peng was shocked by Gao Xuan's cultivation level, yet he did not understand Gao Xuan's actions.

With Gao Xuan's talent, achieving Foundation Establishment on a place like Pegasus Star, once revealed, would naturally garner the Noble Family's favor. Why cause such a situation?

Even if he wanted to fight Yu Hong'en, it wasn't necessary to kill him. It wasn't about giving Yu Hong'en a way out, but leaving himself an escape route.

Killing Yu Hong'en in public would inevitably lead the Yu Family to seek revenge for their honor and certainly kill Gao Xuan.

Xiao Peng sighed, Gao Xuan appeared profound but acted recklessly. As expected, those from the lower level have no broad vision and can't accomplish big things.

Xiao Peng felt a bit regretful, slightly disdainful, yet also somewhat wary.

On this vast Pegasus Star, it seems only he and Gao Xuan have achieved the Foundation Establishment.

He couldn't fully understand Gao Xuan's Flying Sword power variations, but seeing the Profound Ice Sword and Ice Dragon Armor—such Magical Artifacts—unable to withstand a single strike, one can perceive its sharpness.

Xiao Peng thought he might not be a match for Gao Xuan and naturally needed to be cautious in case Gao Xuan went on a rampage and decided to eliminate him too.

On the other hand, Xiao Peng didn't want to meddle in others' affairs.

Gao Xuan killing Yu Hong'en is the Yu Family's business. Naturally, Yu Family experts would seek revenge against Gao Xuan. He saw no need to stand up for Yu Hong'en.

To be honest, he quite despised Yu Hong'en. Seeing Yu Hong'en struck down by a single sword made him feel somewhat pleased.

Therefore, although Xiao Peng understood the situation, he merely coldly stood holding his sword, silently watching Gao Xuan.

Xu Jun also came back to his senses, staring blankly at Yu Hong'en's headless body, muttering in fear: "Why to this extent, why to this extent!"

To him, since Gao Xuan's cultivation is superior, defeating Yu Hong'en and humiliating him would suffice. Why resort to killing, blocking all paths?

The other guests collectively let out a loud exclamation, with many backing away in fear.

Especially those from the Yao Family, each looking extremely grim.

Yao Yuan, despite his age and having witnessed countless storms, was now pale-faced.

Precisely because of his age, Yao Yuan clearly understood that with Gao Xuan being ruthless toward Yu Hong'en, he certainly wouldn't spare their Yao Family!

Standing beside Yao Yuan, Yao Peng said in alarm: "How did he train, how could he kill Yu Hong'en, what level of cultivation is this?"

Yao Yuan paid no heed to Yao Peng, as pursuing such details now held no meaning. The focus was on solving the problem.

Yao Yuan's mind raced, yet he couldn't think of any solution. If he were Gao Xuan, he would certainly want to slaughter the Yao Family entirely to vent his rage.

At this point, kneeling to plead probably wouldn't work, right?

Having lived over three hundred years, Yao Yuan didn't care much for face. But kneeling would mean death, so why not die with dignity?

Yao Yuan glanced at Xu Jun, this young master of the Xu Family was also filled with shock and unease; seeing his demeanor, it was clear he couldn't control Gao Xuan.

Only Xiao Peng might save them now. However, Xiao Peng was also in a state of readiness, evident by his fear.

Yao Yuan sighed; everything in the plan was originally fine. The plan had been to kill a dog, but now that dog suddenly turned into a tiger and everything spiraled out of control.

The Silver Sword Light had unknowingly returned to its sheath.

Gao Xuan's gaze swept over Xiao Peng, causing Xiao Peng's heart to suddenly tighten. Fortunately, Gao Xuan merely glanced at him without showing any intent to act.

Xu Jun was even more tense beside him; if Gao Xuan killed Xiao Peng, it would mean big trouble.

Gao Xuan's gaze finally landed on Yao Yuan, who tried to meet it calmly.

The old man had figured it out; at this point, saying anything was meaningless.

"Heretic, seeking your own demise."

Gao Xuan murmured, and then the Taiyin Sword at his waist transformed into light, shooting out.

The Silver Sword Light sparkled, slicing a graceful arc in the air before returning to its sheath.

Old man Yao Yuan's body slightly jerked, a red line appeared on his brow, and then he fell backward.

Beside Yao Yuan, Yao Peng and Yao Ping, further away, all fell to the ground simultaneously.

Not far from Xiao Peng, Yao Xin's face was full of disbelief. She even reached out to touch her brow and upon seeing the blood on her hand, she let out an unwilling scream before collapsing to the ground.

Xiao Peng remained impassive; amidst so many people, only he saw the flight path of the Flying Sword.

With his ability, he could even help Yao Xin block a sword. But what relation did he have with Yao Xin? Why would he stand up for Yu Hong'en's woman?

Yao Xin seemed naive, believing her cold beauty could spare her. Gao Xuan was on a killing spree; would he spare an accomplice like her? She was deluding herself.

In fact, with that one sword, Gao Xuan killed over twenty of the Yao Family's high-ranking members.

The Flying Sword's speed far surpassed a bullet, its trajectory complex and unpredictable, with unparalleled sharpness.
