King of Assassins-Chapter 855 - 620: Idol_2

In reality, the battle immediately entered a feverish stage, with each charge of the powerful evil ghosts inevitably resulting in the death of many trial warriors. Blood and flesh flew everywhere on the battlefield.

Fortunately, everyone sang the holy song together, and the trial warriors were all inspired with a sacred sense of duty. Faced with the bloody battlefield, despite the heavy casualties, the trial warriors were still able to form a large formation without dispersing.

The tenacity and resilience of the trial warriors ensured that the Holy Light Demon Slaying Array could be maintained. It was precisely because of this that the trial warriors could barely resist the ferocious attacks of the evil ghosts.

The many Foundation Establishment cultivators were indeed formidable, and a round of flying sword attacks from their magical artifacts eliminated at least half of the evil ghosts.

However, most of the flying sword artifacts were polluted by the evil ghosts. A few magical artifact flying swords were resistant to the pollution of the evil ghosts' vile divine souls, but after unleashing their full power, many Foundation Establishment cultivators were left with little strength to continue fighting.

The remaining evil ghosts showed no fear; instead, they launched even more frenzied attacks.

As more and more people were injured and killed, the grand array continued to shrink, leaving Gao Xuan on the outermost circle to face a dozen evil ghosts.

Taking advantage of the Foundation Establishment cultivators' activation of their magical artifact flying swords, Gao Xuan also activated the Taiyin Sword.

The silver sword light flickered, piercing through the heads of seven evil ghosts in quick succession.

The arc-shaped silver light trace flickered, and the heads of the seven evil ghosts simultaneously exploded. Their bodies collapsed into fragments of flying ash.

The silver Taiyin Sword, tainted by the pollution of the evil ghosts' vile divine souls, turned black.

Moreover, a layer of murky black cracks surfaced on the blade, making it look as if it had been buried in mud for years, filthy and on the verge of shattering.

The Taiyin Sword's grade was too low. Although Gao Xuan had completely refined it, the sword's body was eroded by the evil ghosts' aura to the point of almost fracturing on the spot. The core Taiyin Rune Seed of the Sword Artifact was enveloped by the evil ghosts' aura, the spiritual light on the rune gradually dimmed, and it was about to collapse.

Gao Xuan anticipated this; he risked an attack as a gamble.

According to the situation of the Foundation Establishment masters killing evil ghosts, on average, every five evil ghosts could yield one Moon Spirit Pearl.

Of course, this was just an average probability. For an individual, they might have to kill more than a dozen evil ghosts without obtaining a single Moon Spirit Pearl.

At this critical moment, the Foundation Establishment masters had no energy to care about the Moon Spirit Pearls.

Gao Xuan observed for a moment and discovered a simple pattern: the purer and stronger the divine soul power of the evil ghosts, the higher the probability of them condensing a Moon Spirit Pearl.

For others, it was a desperate battle; they had no spare energy to observe the divine soul state of the evil ghosts. Even if they did, it was challenging to discern the divine souls of the evil ghosts.

Gao Xuan's divine soul was as clear as a mirror, capable of reflecting the myriad dharmas of the world on the divine soul level.

Though the evil ghosts' divine souls were twisted and corrupt, Gao Xuan could easily discern the truth and strength of their divine souls.

On the divine soul level, the evil ghosts' divine souls appeared as clusters of black flames, with the stronger divine souls being more crimson and radiant.

Gao Xuan's Seven Kills strike was a targeted choice of targets.

After the seven evil ghosts were killed, their bodies collapsed into fragments of ash. As many as four Moon Spirit Pearls fell from the ashes.

The probability of condensing Moon Spirit Pearls was exceptionally high, as Gao Xuan predicted. At that moment, no one noticed the detail of the Moon Spirit Pearls falling in abundance.

The surrounding trial warriors witnessed Gao Xuan's Seven Kills strike. However, they also noticed the Taiyin Sword was corroded beyond recognition.

Everyone felt somewhat disheartened, seeing that Gao Xuan's flying sword seemed about to become unusable.

Taking advantage of the flying sword being still manageable, Gao Xuan turned the Taiyin Sword and shattered the four Moon Spirit Pearls.

After the Moon Spirit Pearls shattered, they released the purest and softest energy. Gao Xuan channeled the full power to activate the Taiyin Rune Seed, absorbing all this pure soft energy.

The Taiyin Rune Seed, tainted by the evil ghosts' vile aura, was nearing the point of losing its spiritual light. However, after absorbing the pure energy from the Moon Spirit Pearls, the Taiyin Rune Seed suddenly radiated a brilliant spiritual light.

The impurities attached to the Taiyin Sword were instantly cleansed, and the silver blade emitted a sharp and radiant divine light.

Gao Xuan's divine soul sensed the feedback of that pure power; if he absorbed this power with his divine soul, his divine soul power could be enhanced somewhat.

However, Gao Xuan chose not to use such external force to directly enhance his divine soul. Such shortcuts were not suitable for him.

"The Moon Spirit Pearls being able to nourish the Taiyin Sword is enough."

Gao Xuan was pleased in his heart; as long as the Moon Spirit Pearls were effective, the Taiyin Sword could continue to be used.

Witnessing the filthy Taiyin Sword regaining its brilliance, the trial warriors were all uplifted.

Gao Xuan activated the Taiyin Sword once more, and the sharp silver sword light radiated, forming a dazzling silver light web.

The dozens of evil ghosts within the light web seemed indifferent, still charging forward with force. Yet, their violent motions caused their bodies to simultaneously break into pieces.

The shattered bodies of the evil ghosts spun in the air briefly before disintegrating into fragments of flying ash.

These evil ghosts were originally condensed from malevolent thoughts and Source Power, not made of real flesh and blood. Once their divine soul core was destroyed, their bodies naturally disintegrated into ash.

Among the dozens of evil ghosts, seven Moon Spirit Pearls were left behind.

After this strike with the Taiyin Sword, its sword light dimmed, and black patches formed on the blade.

Gao Xuan activated the Taiyin Sword to collect the seven Moon Spirit Pearls, causing the sword light of the Taiyin Sword to grow strong once more. This time, even the Taiyin Rune Seed was significantly fortified.

Huang Yingyue and other examiners noticed the anomaly of the Taiyin Sword. They were both surprised and delighted.

The Taiyin Sword's ability to absorb Moon Spirit Pearls meant it could not be tainted by evil ghost pollution anymore. But how many more times could Gao Xuan activate the flying sword?

Under the light of the blood moon, the power of the Holy Rune Seed was greatly restricted. Due to the evil god's Divine Country ruins in Night Demon City, it was also impossible to connect to the cyberspace here.

Foundation Establishment masters had to exert significant divine soul power to control their flying swords here, and the evil ghosts' aura could easily taint their divine souls.

Gao Xuan was only at the Foundation Establishment stage; how much stronger could he be than they were?

Under the watchful eyes of many examiners, the Taiyin Sword flashed again, this time transforming into a long sword rainbow of bright silver light, circling around the Holy Light Demon Slaying Array.

The nearly perfect circular silver sword rainbow instantly cut through all the surrounding evil ghosts in two.

The dazzling and radiant sword rainbow shone with unparalleled sharp spiritual light.

The coverage of this sword was vast, at least slaying more than a hundred evil ghosts.

Outside the sword rainbow, the evil ghosts, though lacking intelligence, were instinctively frightened by the power of the sword rainbow and halted their advance.

The trial warriors, who had been suffocating under the relentless attacks of the evil ghosts, all felt a release and sighed in relief.

The ferocious assaults of the evil ghosts, like a torrent, had overwhelmed them, creating an intense and terrifying sense of oppression that almost drove them to collapse.

Gao Xuan's strike allowed everyone to catch their breath. Simultaneously, it showed them a glimpse of hope for victory.

The somewhat tragic holy song transformed into uniform cheers, with everyone filled with joyous and enthusiastic fighting spirit.

After unleashing that strike, the sword light of the Taiyin Sword dimmed once more. Gao Xuan controlled the sword to absorb over a dozen Moon Spirit Pearls, reviving the vibrant sword light of the Taiyin Sword. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Even so, Gao Xuan was somewhat exhausted. In front of many examiners, Gao Xuan did not want to show off too much.

At this point, as long as everyone handled the situation carefully, there would be no problem.

"You should step back and rest; leave the rest to us."

The trial warriors standing behind Gao Xuan pulled him back to rest, having witnessed his powerful divine might, slaying evil ghosts in succession. He stood up during the most dangerous moments, singing the holy song and inspiring everyone.

At this moment, Gao Xuan had become an idol for all the trial warriors.

Seeing Gao Xuan somewhat exhausted, everyone feared he would make a mistake. They hurriedly moved him to the inner circle.

Huang Yingyue and other examiners observed much more. Huang Yingyue said to Yuan Ping, "This person's divine soul power is indeed resilient; he can withstand the pollution of the evil ghosts."

Yuan Ping thought for a moment and said, "It's mainly because his flying sword can resonate with the Moon Spirit Pearls, allowing the sword and divine soul to be nourished. That way, he can continue to control his flying sword. In a way, he is fortunate."

She sighed and said, "It's a pity. If he had time to slowly refine those Moon Spirit Pearls, the flying sword could be elevated to Seventh Grade. But now it's somewhat wasted."

Huang Yingyue said solemnly, "Regardless of his background, he has made great contributions this time. I will not let him suffer a loss..."
