King of Assassins-Chapter 844 - 615: Blood for Blood

Gao Xuan ignored Yu Ning and walked straight ahead.

Upon entering the spatial rift, he felt the world around him spin violently. The conflicting space laws inflicted tremendous impact on both his divine soul and body.

This impact was even more intense than that of a teleportation array. Gao Xuan's divine soul remained steady, and the Perfect Five Elements Rune Seed shone, forming a spherical shield that firmly blocked all attacks on the divine soul level.

The next second, Gao Xuan found himself in another place.

Tall buildings surrounded him, and various magnetic levitation flying cars cruised along the avenue. Multicolored virtual projections flashed everywhere.

This Night Demon City turned out to be a modern-looking city.

Gao Xuan was slightly surprised, having gathered some crucial information from Yuan Youyuan, yet knowing little about Night Demon City.

This vast metropolis appeared large in scale. The streets were full of people, who seemed alive and not mere phantoms.

However, Night Demon City is a space fragment, as well as the ruins of the Evil God's Divine Country. This independent space has its unique laws.

Even a Golden Core Powerhouse entering here must submit to the laws of this realm. Only the divine can resist the laws of this world. However, forcefully opposing the laws would also completely tear apart this space.

For the Holy Hall, such a space is like their own pasture. The Evil God Fragments, Moon Spirit Pearls, and other resources within are extremely valuable.

Even though Night Demon City is dangerous, it holds enough value. Just this reason alone prevents the Holy Hall from forcibly destroying it.

Using Trial Warriors to collect Evil God Fragments was found, after many trials, to be the most suitable harvesting method.

Although Gao Xuan's divine soul power is weak, his divine soul is incomparably pure. It's even purer and more pristine than at his peak.

In this independent space constructed by the Evil God Law, Gao Xuan's divine soul can sense the numerous invisible lines of law permeating the void.

He could see the illusory nature within the space. On the divine soul level, buildings, objects, people, and everything else existed as phantom images.

It's like entering the virtual world of a light computer and activating admin mode, where everything turns into clusters of data streams.

Through his divine soul, Gao Xuan can already reflect the essential laws of this realm. Of course, in his body's sensory levels, including the spiritual power level, everything he sees is real.

The world perceived by the divine soul and his own senses is completely different, creating a strong sense of dissonance.

Gao Xuan also dared not use his divine soul to illuminate the world for long, since this observation is inherently mutual.

While observing Night Demon City, he would unavoidably pick up the evil god's aura from it.

If it lasted too long, his divine soul could become tainted. Moreover, using his divine soul to directly view the world would consume a lot of energy.

In this dangerous world, doing so is extremely unwise.

Within just one second of divine soul mapping, Gao Xuan had already seen the essence of this space and gathered a lot of information.

First, Night Demon City is neither completely real nor entirely illusory. Within the laws of this space, everything is indistinguishable from reality.

Second, all beings within Night Demon City possess their own spirituality. Moreover, the higher an individual's status, the stronger their spirituality. Only such people can possibly condense Evil God Fragments.

Third, within this independent space, everything must operate according to space law.

In short, external forces can hardly interfere. No matter how powerful those outside are, they cannot observe Night Demon City. Unless, the space is forcibly torn apart.

This is indeed extremely important information, indicating that any actions within Night Demon City are unmonitored and uncontrolled.

Gao Xuan believed that surely some noble youth knew this information.

Since Yuan Youyuan wasn't participating in the trial, the information she randomly gathered couldn't touch this level.

That's why Yu Ning had followed him into Night Demon City. This woman intended to kill him directly within Night Demon City.

The death of a trial warrior during a trial is of no concern. Even if others suspected Yu Ning, without evidence, she wouldn't be held accountable.

Besides, Gao Xuan had no backing. Someone like Yuan Ping'an likely wouldn't pursue the matter thoroughly.

Seeing through the nature of Night Demon City, Gao Xuan immediately understood Yu Ning's intentions.

Since she was insistent on her path to destruction, he wouldn't stop her.

Gao Xuan put away the beautiful Holy Armor. Although it looked good and was useful, in a place like Night Demon City, it attracted too much hostility.

The people of Night Demon City were all spiritual and instinctively loathed the power of the Holy Hall.

In this Night Demon City, there was no shortage of experts. Especially the massive military force of Night Demon City, were it truly to unite, would not be something Trial Warriors could withstand.

To put it simply, this trial cannot rely on brute force. Night Demon City tests wisdom, experience, and capability more than anything else.

Wearing a black combat robe and with the Profound Origin Sword on his waist, Gao Xuan was unremarkable amidst the crowd.

Following his previous sensations, he entered a commercial building.

At the entrance of the building stood four tall and sturdy security guards.

The security guards, seeing Gao Xuan fully armed, were all on alert.

"What are you doing? This is a private company..."

Gao Xuan gave the guard a slight smile, then drew the Profound Origin Sword and slashed.

A cold, arcing sword light flashed, and the four security guards were all shocked. They tried to draw their guns, but their heads simultaneously rolled off before they could act.

At such close range, no one could withstand a single strike from Gao Xuan.

Ignoring the blood on the ground, Gao Xuan took two pistols and an ID card from the guards.

Using the card, Gao Xuan swiped to power up the elevator to the top floor.

A minute later, Gao Xuan had reached the top floor. Before he could step out of the elevator, a group of security guards in the corridor was already frantically opening fire.
