King of Assassins-Chapter 197 - 185 Zhongjing

Xiao Wan quietly left. The aristocrats of Mingjing City also breathed a sigh of relief.

This person was too overbearing in her ways, and everyone was somewhat afraid of her.

The power of the Xiao family was overwhelming, and no one dared provoke them.

However, Xiao Wan’s departure also meant that Mu Guofeng’s investigation had come to an end.

Mu Guofeng commanded the highest military power on Pegasus Star, but he could not find a target, and his strength had nowhere to be applied.

Xiao Wan also detailed the matter of Blood Shadow to Mu Guofeng. Xiao Wan judged Blood Shadow to be at least a silver-level expert.

Even more terrifying, this person seemed to be able to infiltrate any place at will, almost without restriction.

If Blood Shadow were truly provoked, even Mu Guofeng’s safety might be compromised.

After careful consideration, Mu Guofeng decided to let it go.

People need to let go and not be at odds with themselves.

Since even the military’s top leader, Mu Guofeng, did not pursue the matter, departments such as the Executive Government and Law Enforcement Headquarters also had no interest in pursuing it.

Mu Guofeng, hiding in the Space Fortress, did not want to pit himself against Blood Shadow. Why would those living on the planet’s surface want to tussle with Blood Shadow?

Such things are quite helpless, but the reality is so harsh.

A super assassin that no one could find; even the combined forces could do nothing against them.

Therefore, all the powers also ceased their efforts.

In the undercurrents of Mingjing City, those undercurrents quietly dissipated.

Wei Yue, at the center of the vortex, also breathed a sigh of relief. Although the various forces could not make a move, they surrounded her, bringing immense pressure.

The appearance of Xiao Wan added even greater pressure to Wei Yue.

Especially Xiao Wan’s reckless style of doing things, which fully manifested the Xiao family’s arrogance and domineering nature.

Now all forces had rolled out, leaving a clean and orderly Mingjing City, and Wei Yue felt much more relaxed in body and mind.

As October arrived with clear skies and crisp air, Mingjing City settled down completely.

There was no news from Blood Shadow, and all aspects of Yuanlong Company were tense yet smooth. Wei Yue finally had the energy to pay attention to other matters.

For example, her daughter, Wei Zhenzhen.

Wei Zhenzhen was doing quite well in Zhongjing City, only she often sent videos complaining, wanting to see Gao Xuan.

However, Zhongjing University was strictly managed. Wei Zhenzhen did not dare to skip classes. Over there, the Yan family was also watching.

Wei Yue felt that Wei Zhenzhen was doing well and was quite safe in Zhongjing City.

Mingjing City, due to the presence of Blood Shadow, was really too unsafe.

Tomorrow, the Mingjing University Sword Team is scheduled to participate in the Sword Dao League in Zhongjing. Wei Yue decided to go along as well to see her daughter.

On the other hand, Wei Yue wanted to talk to Wei Zhenzhen seriously about Gao Xuan.

Recently, as the university league progressed, Mingjing University had already achieved several consecutive victories.

Now, among the twelve universities of the East Continent, only Zhongjing University had not yet had a match with Mingjing University.

Gao Xuan participated in fifty matches in total, achieving complete victory. No swordsman had been able to withstand ten moves from him.

Due to Gao Xuan’s exceptionally outstanding performance, he had become the most famous young genius swordsman in the entire East Continent.

The name of Taihua Sword Immortal had also become renowned everywhere. It was said that Gao Xuan had quite a number of fans in other continents as well.

This time, Mingjing University’s entry into Zhongjing’s competition was seen by everyone as a severe test for Gao Xuan.

If Gao Xuan could defeat several talented individuals from Zhongjing University with the sword, he would truly become the strongest young swordsman in East Continent. Perhaps even the strongest swordsman on the entire Pegasus Star.

The match between Mingjing University and Zhongjing University, hyped by various media, was extremely popular, arguably the hottest topic recently in East Continent.

Wei Yue had always been very concerned about Gao Xuan, seeing him rising steadily; she felt both comforted and somewhat emotional.

This young man took only a few months to gain great honor and wealth.

Moreover, Gao Xuan also joined the Xiao family. From then on, with the Xiao family’s powerful backing for protection, no one could bully him anymore.

Such a brilliant Gao Xuan was no longer suitable for Wei Zhenzhen.

Wei Yue, looking at the promising Gao Xuan opposite her, felt a pity too. She actually thought highly of Gao Xuan. However, Gao Xuan was a bit too outstanding, and she could not provide him with enough resources.

Due to the matter of Bai Yutang, she also had to avoid suspicion a bit. Otherwise, some words, when spread out, would become distorted.

"Gao Xuan, your swordsmanship is really good; who did you learn it from?" Yan Qingge asked.

Wei Yue was somewhat apprehensive, but Yan Qingge was indifferent. She was very curious about Gao Xuan and admired and adored him.

The first-class cabin seats of the flying ship were just next to each other, and Yan Qingge pulled Gao Xuan to chat.

"When I was young, a village elder taught me. When I got older and could access the internet, I started self-learning online by looking for tutorials."

This set of rhetoric had been said by Gao Xuan dozens of times and was exceptionally skillful.

"Wow, that’s really impressive."

Yan Qingge was extraordinarily amazed. She was a tenth-level swordsman, understanding how difficult it was to cultivate swordsmanship.

Even with guidance from a famous teacher, practicing sword might lead down some wrong paths. For instance, if the habit of striking was incorrect, the posture of exerting force was incorrect, or the source power operation was incorrect, and so on.

If the wrist height was an inch higher or lower in a move of swordsmanship, the effect would be vastly different. Not to mention the hidden exertion of muscles and bones and the operation of source power.

Any slight mistake could lead someone astray.

As the saying goes, "A slight discrepancy can lead to a massive error."

Gao Xuan practiced along with the Celestial Net teachings and somehow became a genius swordsman. This can only be attributed to his extraordinary talent; there’s no other explanation.

Yan Qingge originally thought she had high talent, but compared to Gao Xuan, well, there’s no comparison.

In terms of resources, she was a thousand times better off than Gao Xuan, yet she could barely touch the threshold of Silver. Thinking about it makes her feel ashamed.

Yan Qingge felt a little regret that this genius was snatched away by Xiao Wan. Otherwise, she would have truly taken Gao Xuan back to the Yan Family.

"Xiao Wan may be arrogant, but she has a keen eye."

Yan Qingge sighed to herself and said to Gao Xuan, "I know the most famous these two years at Zhongjing University are Yuan Hao and Wang Ziru."

She said, "Yuan Hao is a direct lineage of the Yuan Family, with an arrogant temperament but was already a Level 7 Swordsman at seventeen. Wang Ziru is a side branch of the Wang Family, and his Four Kings Sword is very powerful..."

Yan Qingge is very familiar with Zhongjing, especially the recently emerging talented swordsmen.

She doesn’t like Yuan Hao, feeling that he is pretentious and arrogant, with limited achievements in the future.

Wang Ziru, however, is very calm and diligent, with great expertise in the Four Kings Sword.

If nothing unexpected happens, he’ll at least become a top swordsman in the future.

Yan Qingge still appreciates and likes Gao Xuan, so she told him a lot about Yuan Hao and Wang Ziru.

Most of the information is secrets that outsiders can’t know.

From Mingjing City to Zhongjing is about ten thousand kilometers; it took the flying ship nearly three hours to arrive.

As the flying ship landed, Yan Qingge pointed to a towering building outside the window and said, "That’s the Zhongjing Tower, sixteen hundred meters high and also a landmark of Zhongjing City..." freewebnσvel.cѳm

The Zhongjing Tower looks like a string of candied haws standing on the ground, with a series of spherical shapes stacked together to form the tall Zhongjing Tower.

The spheres of the Zhongjing Tower are all vermilion in color, said to symbolize nobility.

Looking from above, the vermilion Zhongjing Tower is exceptionally bright and eye-catching.

However, speaking of nobility, Gao Xuan doesn’t quite agree.

One can only say that as a landmark building, Zhongjing Tower is very qualified. It’s tall and majestic, and extremely eye-catching.

Its unique shape is also completely distinct from other ordinary buildings, making it unforgettable.

While Gao Xuan was observing the Zhongjing Tower, a few people on the top floor of the Zhongjing Tower were also watching the flying ship descending.

From this position, one can only see the flashing indicator lights on the body of the flying ship, without seeing the full view of the ship.

"That Gao Xuan is on this flying ship; a shot from the ship cannon would finish this flying ship."

Yuan Hao pointed at the flying ship outside the window, making a shooting gesture, with a frivolous smile on his handsome face.

The group of young men and women surrounding Yuan Hao laughed along with him, as if what he said was hilarious.

Wang Ziru stood to the side with a calm expression. He was two meters tall, standing out from the crowd.

Generally speaking, balance is most important for a swordsman. One can’t be too short, nor too tall.

Because for tall people, their reactions are bound to be slower. This is determined by their physiological structure. So, there are rarely such especially tall swordsmen.

A swordsman as tall as Wang Ziru is even rarer among the youth.

Seeing Wang Ziru silent, Yuan Hao raised his eyebrows: "Ziru, why aren’t you saying anything?"

Wang Ziru said solemnly, "Gao Xuan is indeed a strong enemy; he shouldn’t be underestimated."

"A kept boy, yet called Taihua Sword Immortal, it’s disgusting."

Yuan Hao sneered and said, "You know, Gao Xuan came from the mountains. To earn money, he became the lover of a rich woman, Bai Yutang. When Bai Yutang had an accident and died, her inheritance went to Gao Xuan.

"He sure is skilled at being a kept boy! Having such a person as an opponent is a disgrace to me."

Most people present didn’t know this, and they all showed disdain after hearing it.

"So that’s what Gao Xuan is like!"

"Disgusting..."

"What Taihua Sword Immortal, he’s obviously a kept man king..."

"Wrong, it’s the Taihua Duck King..."

The more they talked, the happier they got, all laughing heartily.

Wang Ziru frowned slightly; he found this meaningless. Regardless of Gao Xuan’s character, he’s an outstanding swordsman.

Insulting Gao Xuan behind his back like this was very narrow-minded. More importantly, it held little significance.

Yuan Hao, however, laughed and said, "When the competition comes, who among you dares to go over and give Gao Xuan a hard time?"

A stout young man excitedly raised his hand, saying, "I’ll do it. I’ll dump a bucket of rice over this guy’s head then!"

Everyone laughed again, and someone suggested, "Add some duck feathers and duck blood to it..."

"Yes, yes..."

Wang Ziru sighed silently; since Gao Xuan was an opponent of Zhongjing University, he couldn’t say much.

Yuan Hao, however, looked smug: "Let’s show this boy what for. In Zhongjing City, he won’t get to flaunt as a duck!"
