King of Assassins-Chapter 836 - 611: A Cornered Dog Will Jump Over the Wall

"Boss, are you free now? I have something to discuss with you."

Gao Xuan returned to his office, organizing his things, when he received a message from Iron Shield.

After being promoted to Minister, he neither promoted Iron Shield nor deliberately suppressed him.

To him, Iron Shield was just a passerby he knew before his awakening of consciousness. Iron Shield had once abandoned him and ran off alone, not abiding by righteousness, yet it was understandable.

If it were him, discovering unfavorable circumstances, he would turn and flee too.

For the past three years, Iron Shield had been very honest and self-aware. He never proactively approached him.

Sending a message so late at night, sneaky, what does he mean?

Gao Xuan had placed some top-grade Source Crystals in the office safe; such hard currency equates to gold, with a price a thousand times higher than gold. It was also the property he had scavenged over the past few years.

Assets scraped from various mafia groups are hard to clean. Only by converting them into Source Crystals.

Gao Xuan packed the Source Crystals, deleted all personal relevant information and documents.

After dealing with these, Iron Shield arrived.

Iron Shield politely knocked on the door, bowing as he entered to greet, with quite a respectful attitude.

But this respectful demeanor was quite different from Iron Shield's usual look.

Gao Xuan glanced at Iron Shield: "What do you want?"

Iron Shield flashed a mysterious smile: "Boss, I know all about tonight's events."

The tall and rugged Iron Shield appeared shadowy and somewhat sinister when he smiled like this.

"Oh."

Gao Xuan said, "So what?"

Gao Xuan wasn't very concerned; it had been almost forty minutes since he left the banquet hall.

With so many people in the hall, such a long time, the news had already spread. It was normal for someone from the Field Department like Iron Shield to hear the news.

Iron Shield was somewhat surprised by Gao Xuan's calmness; he paused and said: "The Yu Family is one of the four major families of Taurus. Yu Hong'en's sister, Yu Ning, is known as one of the Twin Beauties of the Twelve Star Domain; a genius among the young cultivators. Even the men are scarcely a match for her..."

Gao Xuan was a bit surprised: "You sure know a lot."

"Boss, at this step, you have no other paths to take. Even if you go to the Underworld, all major gangs will certainly sell you out."

Iron Shield said: "I do have a bright path."

Gao Xuan was indifferent: "Then let's hear it."

"My master can help you leave Pegasus Star, even leave the Twelve Star Domain."

As Iron Shield spoke, his eyes emitted rings of bizarre deep green light.

Gao Xuan slightly squinted his eyes; Iron Shield's gaze had the power to confuse the Divine Soul, an aura eerie and unpredictable. This guy, unknowingly, had become a follower of the Evil God; he appeared to be quite capable.

"Who is your master?"

"My master is the Master of Blood Blade, who commands the way of slaughter. Your decisive and ruthless path aligns with my master's way." 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Iron Shield saw Gao Xuan was interested, hurriedly introducing, he finally said: "You are a genius in cultivation; if only you would worship my master, you would surely gain my master's favor. Even becoming a High-tier Apostle."

Gao Xuan gazed deeply at Iron Shield, engaging in a silent stare with his mesmerizing emerald eyes.

Iron Shield thought Gao Xuan was hesitating, zealously persuading: "Boss, you've offended the Yu Family, the Noble Families will surely unite to strike against you. Even the Holy Hall won't accept you; only my master can save you."

"You're not qualified to tell me these things; let your master come."

Gao Xuan interrupted Iron Shield's incessant preaching; Iron Shield usually wasn't like this; during proselytism, that almost frenzied focus made his speech particularly verbose.

Iron Shield hesitated slightly, but the green light in his eyes suddenly surged, his whole aura transformed dramatically.

Gao Xuan could clearly sense Iron Shield's transformation; Iron Shield in the realm of the Divine Soul seemed to transform into a blood-dripping longsword, sharp and carrying a brutal ferocious aura.

The vast change in the Divine Soul realm caused Iron Shield's Source Power aura to skyrocket, instantly reaching the upper limit of Pegasus Star.

More terrifying was the essence elevation of Iron Shield's Divine Soul, bringing massive pressure that Gao Xuan could feel.

"Mortal, worship me, believe in me, I shall grant you endless glory and power."

By this time, Iron Shield had already floated in midair, speaking to Gao Xuan with an aloof posture.

"Evil God's avatar."

Gao Xuan saw a thread of faith in the Divine Soul realm on Iron Shield, the end of the faith thread was hidden in the endless void.

The Evil God seemed sincere; to enslave him, it even brought down an avatar.

Iron Shield was just a mortal; serving as a vessel for the Evil God's avatar, both his body and Divine Soul were being eroded and destroyed by the Evil God's avatar's power.

When the Evil God reclaims the avatar, Iron Shield wouldn't last a few days.

Of course, for the Evil God, all this was standard procedure. Followers in their eyes are consumables. As long as the consumption is valuable, it's all good.

Gao Xuan looked up at the floating Iron Shield, "I have a question."

"What?" The Evil God valued Gao Xuan, his tolerance was very high, willing to communicate with Gao Xuan.

A capable and powerful believer is more useful than a thousand useless ones. With Gao Xuan's methods and abilities, he has infinite potential in the future.

"Can the divine power manifested by your avatar be condensed into a Divine Crystal?"

The Evil God was furious, a mere mortal dared to provoke him. The so-called Divine Crystal can only form when a Divine is killed.

The Blood Blade Evil God unhesitatingly invoked a curse, making a blood-colored scimitar appear in the air, slashing straight at Gao Xuan.

This blade, transformed from divine power, though not made of physical matter, is more powerful than a Sword Artifact.

Especially since the blade carries a powerful curse, once a mortal is contaminated by it, their Divine Soul will be polluted.

At the moment the blood-colored scimitar slashed down, a magnificent set of silver armor appeared on Gao Xuan.

The Holy Light on the silver armor was bright yet not dazzling, carrying an untouchable and endless sacred majesty.

The blood-colored scimitar fell on the silver armor and was immediately shattered by the layers of Holy Light.

The Taiyin Sword also simultaneously unsheathed, and the original brilliant silver Sword Light was additionally coated with a pure gold glow.

At the same time the blood-colored scimitar slashed down, the flying golden Sword Light shone brilliantly, slashing the suspended Iron Shield numerous times.

The Blood Blade, being an Evil God, naturally had various divine power defenses. Yet under the golden Sword Light, all defenses were like bubbles, shattering upon contact.

When the golden Sword Light ceased, the massive body of Iron Shield silently collapsed. Under the effect of the God of Evil's Divine Power Law, the collapsing flesh and Divine Soul rapidly condensed into a single point.

Finally, it condensed mid-air into a silver crystal stone the size of a grain of rice.

Gao Xuan walked over, held the Divine Crystal lightly between two fingers, and said somewhat emotionally, "You're so generous..."

The Blood Blade Evil God, skillful as he may be, capable of sending avatars across Star Realms.

In the Outer Star Realm, such a level of Evil God is quite rare.

If Gao Xuan only had the Taiyin Sword, dealing with such an Evil God would indeed be tricky. Because the Taiyin Sword struggles to effectively harm him.

However, he completely refined the Holy Armor. By using the Divine Power Rune within the Holy Armor to grant the Taiyin Sword a layer of Holy Light, slaying the Evil God was a breeze.

The Divine Power Rune Seed from the Holy Hall, in essence, represents the purest belief. If the Divine Emperor wasn't Gao Xuan himself, he would never have refined this Divine Power Seed.

Therefore, this Divine Power Seed inherently repels all Divines. The sacred aura of the Divine Power Seed restrains all Evil Gods.

Yet this Blood Blade is so stingy, only giving such a tiny Divine Crystal.

Such an item, Gao Xuan wouldn't use himself, but could sell for money.

Don't underestimate it as just a grain-sized Divine Crystal, finding the right buyer, selling it for one or two billion is no problem.

Gao Xuan put away the Divine Crystal, took the elevator to the rooftop of the company Headquarter Tower.

Using his Field Department Director privileges, Gao Xuan activated a Flying Fish Ship, heading off into the distance.

The Yuanlong Company structure is strict, and Gao Xuan, using his authority openly, had all his actions recorded by the company's Light Computer.

Xu Jun was reporting to the company president, Wei Yuan, when he noticed Gao Xuan's movement, he was a bit surprised.

Gao Xuan indeed has nerves of steel, still daring to use the company's Flying Ship.

Xu Jun reported the latest situation to Wei Yuan, who also felt at a loss, Yu Hong'en is part of the Yu Family!

The Taurus Star is the lord of the Twelve Star Domain, and Pegasus Star falls under the administrative jurisdiction of Taurus Star.

However, the Alliance administrative system of Outer Star Realm collapsed, each planet is ruled by major companies.

Even so, their small branch company can't afford to offend the Yu Family.

Normally, Gao Xuan is one of their company people. They should hand him over. But Gao Xuan is too formidable, capturing him isn't easy.

If Gao Xuan were smart, he should have quietly left.

Yet now look, Gao Xuan brazenly flew away with the company Flying Ship.

If the Yu Family inquires the company, how will they explain?

Wei Yuan felt Gao Xuan was being unreasonable, but after watching the video of the battle between Gao Xuan and Yu Hong'en, he had no temper.

Such a terrifying expert, even if the company exerted all its strength, may not be able to capture him. Provoking Gao Xuan would trouble the company executives greatly.

Wei Ying also advised her father, "Dad, Black Tiger is deeply shrewd and acts meticulously. He must have his reasons for doing this. We shouldn't act against him for now."

"Alright. After all, he is a company person. Let's all show some courtesy."

Wei Yuan pondered for a moment, still feeling it was too risky to take action against Gao Xuan. A single Flying Fish Ship couldn't leave the planet, it was better to observe Gao Xuan's movements first.

Upon learning that Gao Xuan took the ship, the Information Security Department kept track of Gao Xuan's movements.

An hour later, Wei Yuan received information from the Information Security Department: "Black Tiger went to Zhongjing, the ship landed at Feiyun Palace, which is the Pegasus Star Sanctuary Headquarters.

Wei Yuan sighed, "He really went to the Holy Hall."

Wei Ying skeptically asked, "He killed Yu Hong'en, can the Holy Hall really accept him?"

"Even if Yuan Ping'an didn't leave, it's impossible to accept a murderer of a Noble Youth into the fold."

Wei Yuan shook his head disappointedly, "I thought Black Tiger was a smart person, now it seems he's just a cornered dog desperate for escape. In a few days when Yu Ning arrives, it'll be his judgment day…"
