King of Assassins-Chapter 849 - 617: Excellence (Part 2)

At this moment, his Golden Light Sword went out of control.

At the same time, the Taiyin Sword shot out once again. The silver sword light flashed straight towards Yu Ning.

Kill the nearly defeated first, that's the basic rule of team battles.

Yu Ning was still adjusting her control over the Ice Seal Sword, and seeing the Taiyin Sword coming again, she hurriedly activated the Ice Seal Sword's defense.

The deep blue Ice Seal Sword danced in an attempt to intercept the Taiyin Sword, but the Taiyin Sword suddenly accelerated, transforming the silver sword light into a silver beam.

A simple yet wonderfully clever acceleration allowed the Taiyin Sword to bypass the Ice Seal Sword.

Yu Ning's face armor already had a deep sword mark, and the Taiyin Sword followed that mark, penetrating directly through Yu Ning's forehead.

The silver beam flashed, and the Ice Heart Transparent Face Armor shattered into countless fine cracks once more, with blood and flesh erupting from within, seeping through the myriad tiny cracks in the armor, painting a cruel picture.

The Ice Heart Battle Armor, deprived of her Divine Soul Power, paused mid-air for a moment before plummeting downward.

Cao Ye was stunned, for in the instant his Golden Light Sword was suppressed, Gao Xuan had slain Yu Ning.

This beauty, hailed as one of the twin talents of the Twelve Star Domain and a prodigy of the Yu Family, had her head blown apart by a flying sword, dying a tragic death.

In her final moments, she didn't even have time to scream.

Cao Ye was no stranger to death, having personally slain countless enemies. Yet, watching the beauty he admired being killed, he was shocked, pained, and furious.

He glared at Gao Xuan and roared, "You dare, you lowlifer!"

Gao Xuan calmly replied to Cao Ye, "What's the matter, are you anxious now? Can't play anymore?"

Gao Xuan's casual remark made Cao Ye's hands tremble with anger, yet he was speechless.

"I look down on those like you who play even though you're weak, but can't bear to lose."

Gao Xuan shook his head slightly, "At this point, it's beyond your control."

"So arrogant!"

In his emotional turmoil, Cao Ye's Divine Soul Power surged, and the Golden Light Sword, suppressed by the Profound Origin Sword, suddenly broke free from the constraints of the Five Elements Sword Seal and flew back to Cao Ye's waist sheath.

Retrieving his Golden Light Sword, Cao Ye, with a grim face, said to Gao Xuan, "You know nothing about high-tier power, let me show you what true power is!"

As he spoke, he extended his right hand towards Gao Xuan.

Cao Ye's right arm shone with countless golden runes, with the entire arm partially materializing in the golden light, revealing its internal structure.

The inside of Cao Ye's right arm was a complex and precise mechanical structure, akin to a mechanical arm.

The difference was that each component of this mechanical arm was engraved with numerous runes, and under Cao Ye's Divine Soul Power activation, the runes within the arm drove the mechanical structure to operate.

Gold Elemental Source Power continuously gathered on the Rune Mechanical Arm, and Gao Xuan sensed the intense destructive Evil Qi.

This Evil Qi approach completely contradicted the balanced and harmonious Holy Hall Divine Power Seed. It should belong to a high-tier application of Gold Rune.

However, the foundation of this power lay entirely on this Rune Mechanical Arm.

The Rune Mechanical Arm was extremely precise in modern mechanics, yet had the profound and mysterious changes of runes, truly a high-level crystallization of modern technology and the rune system.

Strictly speaking, it should be considered a Magical Artifact, but more precise and wondrous. Cao Ye modified his arm in this way, like an electronic prosthetic, but this prosthetic was even more powerful.

Gao Xuan also felt enlightened, realizing the application of the rune system had reached this level.

The structure of this Rune Mechanical Arm was complex, and Gao Xuan could barely perceive the array power constructed by the runes, but he couldn't see through the core.

The mechanical arm structure itself held considerable technical content. Only by disassembling it could one observe the inner rune transformations.

Cao Ye seemed provoked and used his Divine Soul Power to frantically stimulate the Rune Mechanical Arm, significantly enhancing both the Source Power index and the Divine Soul level.

This power was indeed quite formidable!

Gao Xuan curiously asked, "What is this?"

"Let me enlighten you; this is the Demon-Sundering Spear Blade Type Three from the White Tiger Divine Weapon."

As Cao Ye spoke, his right hand made a virtual grab, and five arcs of golden blade light appeared from thin air, fiercely grabbing at Gao Xuan.

On Gao Xuan, his Holy Armor's divine light flashed, and he instantly used the Flowing Wind Seal to leap dozens of meters away.

The five arcs of golden light failed to seize Gao Xuan but left five penetrating cracks beneath, on a skyscraper hundreds of meters below.

Cao Ye was slightly surprised when his move missed; Gao Xuan even mastered the Wood Element Dharma Seal.

Without hesitation, he reversed his hand to grab again, sweeping across with five arcs of golden blade light.

The Demon-Sundering Spear Blade's Source Power Claw Blade was unparalleled in sharpness and swift as lightning, with a vast coverage area, far exceeding the power of a flying sword slash.

Gao Xuan again performed the Flowing Wind Seal, disappearing like the breeze and then leaping dozens of meters away.

The sweeping arcs of golden light passed through two surrounding skyscrapers; whatever the blade light touched, whether human or object, was sliced open.

Even the support structures within the buildings were completely severed.

On the surface of several skyscrapers were only five slight cracks, yet the internal structure was utterly destroyed.

Having missed twice, Cao Ye grew impatient; spreading his fingers wide, he fiercely grabbed at Gao Xuan, "Die for me!"

Five arcs of golden light instantly expanded a thousandfold, covering several square kilometers around.

The gigantic palm formed by the golden blade light descended directly. Between the five golden blades were large gaps, but those gaps were filled with billions of invisible rays, outlining a complete giant palm.

The giant palm seemed empty, yet within its range, there was no gap.

The golden giant palm descended, crushing various large buildings into silent fragments, leaving a deep palm print covering several square kilometers.

The earth-shattering strike incited severe crustal upheavals, with the ground undulating like giant waves. Buildings caught in the upheavals distorted and collapse in the tremors.

This strike by Cao Ye destroyed over half the structures within dozens of square kilometers, not knowing how many humans in Night Demon City were killed.

Including the hordes of lurking Evil Ghosts around, who were all wiped out.

Amidst the swirling dust in the air, points of Spiritual Light fluttered, with even over ten fragments of Evil God Fragment.

Cao Ye paid no mind to these; leveraging his power to wield the Demon-Sundering Spear Blade was extremely challenging, and his furious strike earlier already consumed most of his power.

His irritation grew as Gao Xuan curiously dodged the Demon-Sundering Spear Blade's Celestial Net Hand Blade with an unknown Secret Technique.

In the sky shrouded in smoke and dust, the figure of Gao Xuan clad in Holy Armor stood out.

Cao Ye glared at Gao Xuan, declaring sharply, "I underestimated you. Try my Demon Sniper Soul-locking Spear this time."

He extended his palm, revealing a long black gun barrel, with the internal structure of his arm rapidly reconfiguring. The specially made Geng Metal Seven Fiends Bullet was loaded.

Cao Ye looked coldly at Gao Xuan; the Geng Metal Seven Fiends Bullet, crafted from Geng Metal Essence infused with Seven Evils Qi, valued billions per round. Even with his wealth, it was unaffordable.

Moreover, firing the Demon Sniper Soul-locking Spear severely consumed Divine Soul Power. Given his current cultivation, he could barely fire one shot.

However, this shot directly locked onto Gao Xuan's Divine Soul, making it inescapable regardless of his transformations.

Even a Golden Core Cultivator without appropriate countermeasures couldn't withstand the Geng Metal Seven Fiends Bullet.

Keen to kill, his eye flashed fiercely, ready to fire the Demon Sniper Soul-locking Spear, when a ripple of flowing water light flickered in Gao Xuan's eyes a hundred meters away.

The Ripple Sword's sharp and agile Sword Intent instantly penetrated Cao Ye's Divine Soul.

Cao Ye's eye lights abruptly dimmed, and his body plummeted like a stone.

Gao Xuan's eyes, the divine light dissipating, showed a hint of fatigue, forcibly manifesting the Heaven and Water Sword Intent posed a great burden on his Divine Soul. If Cao Ye's move wasn't so perilous and beyond his certainty to counter, he wouldn't have used the Heaven and Water Sword Intent to directly kill the opponent's Divine Soul.

Landing gracefully beside Cao Ye's corpse, protected by the Holy Armor, Cao Ye's body showed no external wounds, though his eyes bore the lifeless gray of death.

Gao Xuan earnestly remarked, "To compel me to use the Heaven and Water Sword, you're quite exceptional."

On the ground, Cao Ye was unresponsive to Gao Xuan's compliment.

Gao Xuan murmured, "Shouldn't you humbly retort out of social courtesy?"

"Oh, you're dead."

"Alright then..."

(A desperate third update, you all get it~)
