King of Assassins-Chapter 848 - 617: Excellence

Yu Ning could see it, and Gao Xuan naturally had seen it long ago.

The Flying Sword's speed was too fast, able to strike dozens of times in a second.

As soon as Gao Xuan made a move, he knew things were not good; the opponent's Flying Sword was too sharp. If it were only Cao Ye alone, he might manage to respond with various techniques.

However, there was also Yu Ning on the side. Once she caught her breath again, regaining control of the Ice Seal Sword, the situation would truly become troublesome.

Thinking of this, Gao Xuan did not hesitate and activated the Little Five Elements Sword Seal.

Gao Xuan had forgotten all the secret techniques he had previously cultivated, including those learned in the Cultivation World, but he still remembered the names of those cultivation techniques.

In the Five Elements Sect he belonged to, there was an unparalleled secret technique called the Great Five Elements Extinction Divine Saber.

Gao Xuan remembered clearly that, although he unified the Five Elements Sect, he did not acquire the Great Five Elements Extinction Divine Saber.

However, just from its name alone, one can gather much information. The so-called Great Five Elements Extinction Divine Saber must be a secret technique of great power unified by the power of the five elements.

Gao Xuan integrated the Five Elements Rune Seed into one, achieving perfect foundation establishment. He also gained a unique and profound understanding of the Five Elements Rune Seed.

Through constant experimentation, Gao Xuan combined the Five Elements Rune Seed into a unique Sword Seal, possessing the power of the five elements.

Although this Sword Seal referenced the Water Heaven Sword, it was an entirely new Sword Seal.

Gao Xuan felt that this Sword Seal was less powerful, so he named it the Little Five Elements Sword Seal.

The advantage of the Little Five Elements Sword Seal is that the Divine Soul can activate it spontaneously, even without external aids.

With the Five Elements Rune Seed as its foundation, the Little Five Elements Sword Seal is extremely powerful. Of course, this kind of Sword Seal also consumes a remarkable amount of Divine Soul power.

The stronger the Source Power Secret Technique, the more it consumes the power of the Divine Soul. This has always been a directly proportional relationship.

Therefore, even though the Flying Sword is strong, Paladins do not always use it to fight opponents.

Just like Yu Ning, a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, who can't sustain the full control of a Flying Sword for over three minutes.

Controlling a Sword with the Divine Soul is not as easy as it seems. Of course, the Flying Sword is very effective. If the opponent doesn't have strong protective measures, they can't withstand an attack from a Flying Sword.

Yu Ning's Ice Seal Sword was heavily struck by Gao Xuan, causing her Divine Soul to be shaken, almost resulting in an instant death by the Taiyin Sword.

Gao Xuan also withstood the Golden Light Sword, noticing that Cao Ye had a solid foundation, with the Flying Sword of high grade and the golden elemental sharpness of the Golden Light Sword being quite exquisite as well.

Nonetheless, no matter how the gold elemental Source Power changes, it is ultimately within the Five Elements Transformation.

In the brief exchange, Gao Xuan saw through the Golden Light Sword, discerning the gold Rune Seed within Cao Ye's Divine Soul.

It's inevitable; the Cultivation System is founded on the Five Elements Runes.

This set of secret techniques from the Cao Family, although quite high in level, merely evolves the gold Rune Seed to higher-level transformations.

Even if Gao Xuan were just observing, he might not have been able to see through it instantly, but through the exchange, the Golden Light Sword completely displayed all its transformations.

Gao Xuan, if willing, could now execute Cao Ye's Sword Control Secret Technique.

It's just that he doesn't have the Golden Light Sword; using the Taiyin Sword and the Profound Origin Sword wouldn't achieve that effect. Seeing through the opponent's truth and falsehood, the Little Five Elements Sword Seal is enough to counter the opponent.

The Five Elements Rune Seed within Gao Xuan's Divine Soul was activated, tightly integrated, and sixty-four thousand eight hundred runes orderly sparkled with points of Spiritual Light.

Within a ten-thousandth of a second, a Little Five Elements Sword Seal with an outer circle and an inner pentagon was sketched into form.

This Little Five Elements Sword Seal, based on the Five Elements Runes, is driven and activated by the Divine Soul. This Sword Seal is also the most complex Dharma Seal Gao Xuan has comprehended himself, far more complicated than Cao Ye's Dharma Seal.

Maneuvering a Dharma Seal of this level demands extremely high Divine Soul power. It's only because Gao Xuan's Divine Soul is exceedingly pure that he can effortlessly handle the Little Five Elements Sword Seal.

A pure Divine Soul could evade all external interference, cast at the fastest speed, and operate power with the highest efficiency. More importantly, a pure Divine Soul could completely unleash the power of the Divine Soul.

You must know he ate Karma Fire Golden Lotus seeds and refined his Divine Soul twice, directly advancing his Divine Soul to the Divine Level. Even at the peak of Divine Soul power, the Divine Soul is not free from being rough and complex, suffering from various issues.

After a millennium of Nirvana rebirth, Gao Xuan finally refined such a purely pure Divine Soul.

If his Divine Soul could return to its peak, his Divine Soul power would be ten times, even a hundred times greater than in the past. Moreover, a pure Divine Soul grants Gao Xuan a higher ceiling.

Gao Xuan realized the severe shortcomings of the Divine Soul, decisively abandoning all power, forsaking all authority and wealth, relinquishing all beautiful women, allowing a wisp of Divine Soul to reincarnate through time in Nirvana.

Anyone else in his position would never be willing to start over. The risks are too high, and the losses too great.

This is precisely where Gao Xuan's great courage lies. He believes he can start anew, do better, and achieve even greater success.

Breaking through oneself, surpassing limits.

With such magnanimity and courage, Gao Xuan forged the pure Divine Soul of today, achieving such extraordinary power. This is something Cao Ye and Yu Ning can never understand.

The Little Five Elements Sword Seal's divine light circulated, falling silently upon the Profound Origin Sword.

The Profound Origin Sword also acquired a clear, water-like brilliant flow. The Profound Origin Sword, over ten kilograms in weight, instantaneously lost its tangible form.

The Profound Origin Sword nimbly turned, its blade striking the incoming Golden Light Sword precisely.

The two swords clashed yet soundlessly and gently, as the razor-sharp Golden Light Sword seemed to sink into a swamp, its sharpness and edge dissolved by the water's softness and the earth's thick viscosity.

It was only then that Cao Ye, controlling the sword, realized something was amiss; his Golden Light Sword was unexpectedly stuck.
