King of Assassins-Chapter 58: Aurora

Yan Tiejun was experienced in battle and exceptionally decisive.

As soon as the fight began, without any probing, he directly unleashed the Power of Thunder from the Thunder New Moon Slash, aiming to kill Gao Xuan in one blow.

Anyway, as long as Gao Xuan’s head wasn’t shattered, it would protect his life.

Although Gao Xuan was prepared, he still couldn’t withstand the power of the Thunder New Moon Slash, suffering a small setback.

No matter how skilled the swordsmanship was, it couldn’t block the tyrannical power of the Thunder New Moon Slash.

The Godslaying Sword was currently too low in power. Although it was high-ranking, it couldn’t withstand the Thunder New Moon Slash.

"Still underestimated the heroes of the world."

In his heart, Gao Xuan sighed. The opponent was unremarkable yet extremely seasoned. He fully leveraged the advantages of the Thunder New Moon Slash and used full force from the start, giving Gao Xuan no chance.

The Thunder New Moon Slash didn’t just release Thunder Power. In fact, the opponent’s power and speed both increased by thirty percent.

A layered cyan glow appeared on the opponent’s body, like a layer of cyan armor. Gao Xuan didn’t need to test with his hands to know that this cyan glow must have excellent protective capability.

The only weakness of the opponent was his mediocre sword technique.

Gao Xuan turned the Godslaying Sword in his hand, and the blood-colored blade light bloomed like petals.

Like a thunderbolt flying across the sky, the fierce and keen blade light paused on the blood-colored sword flower.

The blood-colored sword flower collapsed instantly, but another one bloomed once more, blocking the Crescent Saber again.

The ferocious Thunder Light of the Crescent Saber was actually absorbed by the layers of blood-colored sword flowers and ultimately failed to harm Gao Xuan.

Gao Xuan was also forced by the Thunder Blade Light to retreat continuously.

Yan Tiejun was extremely shocked. His opponent’s Source Power was a level below his, yet by relying on masterful swordsmanship, he forcefully blocked the Thunder New Moon Slash? How was this possible?

Yan Tiejun thought of all the swordsmanship masters he knew, but couldn’t think of anyone whose swordsmanship compared to this person’s.

The opponent’s swordsmanship wasn’t actually complicated, yet it was elusive and unfathomable. It already vaguely had the demeanor of a Grandmaster.

Stunned by Gao Xuan’s swordsmanship, Yan Tiejun’s desire to kill only grew stronger in his heart.

Such a person must not be left alive, regardless of his background. If this person’s Source Power Cultivation upgrades, no one on Pegasus Star would be his match!

At that thought, Yan Tiejun, without hesitation, launched another slash. This time he no longer held back, fully unleashing the power of the Thunder New Moon Slash.

A gigantic crescent-shaped blade light slashed horizontally, followed by a vertical crescent blade light.

The cross-shaped Crescent Blade Light sealed Gao Xuan off in every direction.

Such a large-scale blade light was indeed powerful, but it consumed a lot of energy. It was generally used to deal with large equipment like Exoskeleton Armor or Flying Ships.

Using it to kill people was like using a cannon to shoot a mosquito; it was too much of a waste.

The fierce and unmatched cross-shaped Crescent Blade Light forced the two guards hiding behind Gao Xuan to retreat hastily.

Though they had Exoskeleton Armor protection, they didn’t dare to be struck by the blade light.

Gao Xuan retreated even faster than them, his body and sword becoming one as he transformed into a streak of blood-red light, brushing past one of the guards.

As he passed, Gao Xuan also struck his opponent with a sword.

The Godslaying Sword moved with a stroke, the blade first piercing through the opponent’s ear root, and as he withdrew the sword, he also took the opponent aside.

The tall guard in Exoskeleton Armor, who was killed, was knocked twenty centimeters to the side.

This slight distance completely shielded Gao Xuan.

The surging Thunder Blade Light slashed onto that guard, bursting into a brilliant blue light.

By the time the strong light dissipated, the guard’s Exoskeleton Armor had already been cut in half at the waist. The break was quite neat, showing the sharpness of the blade light.

All electronic equipment inside the Exoskeleton Armor was also burned by the Thunder Light, reducing the bisected guard’s body to charred remains.

The destructive power unleashed by the marvel of the Thunder New Moon Slash was viciously ferocious.

With Gao Xuan’s current small stature, any hit from the blade light would leave him with no luck.

Not only did the cross-shaped Crescent Blade Light kill the guard, but it also cleaved the main hall building into four pieces.

The long blade light extended for a hundred meters, leaving a deep groove on the ground.

This terrifying power alarmed the guests at the Yunbo Convention Hall.

The guests in the front courtyard looked around in panic, wanting to know what had happened.

After all, this was the Fourth Ring District, where the poor had no access. The Yunbo Convention Hall was also renowned for its safety.

Who would dare to make a move here, causing such a commotion?

Zhao Yong didn’t have the mind to pay attention to these happenings; he initially thought Gao Xuan was dead, not expecting him to escape, and even kill a guard in the process.

Now that things had escalated to this point, neither side would rest until one was dead.

The opponent bore the mark of the Dark Dragon; he wouldn’t get away!

However, Zhao Yong was now more cautious, not rushing ahead, but following closely behind Yan Tiejun.

The swordsmanship the opponent showcased was too terrifying, and that sword was incredibly sharp. He killed that guard with one strike. The thick Exoskeleton Armor was like paper under his blade.

This gave Zhao Yong a strong sense of insecurity.

The last time, the opponent clearly didn’t exert full strength, allowing Zhao Yong to have a competitive exchange. This time, it was better to let Yan Tiejun take the lead.

In fact, Yan Tiejun didn’t depend on Zhao Yong at all. As soon as Gao Xuan fled, he was the first to ride his saber and give chase.

The Thunder New Moon Slash could enhance the wielder’s Thunder Saber Qi, not only providing protection but also greatly enhancing the wielder’s speed.

Yan Tiejun, wrapped in blue electric light, swiftly pursued Gao Xuan.

Gao Xuan’s speed was also fast, his figure like a phantom, weaving through courtyards and pavilions, constantly changing direction and speed.

Following Gao Xuan, Yan Tiejun accelerated several times but overshot each time, forcing him to patiently follow Gao Xuan.

Relying on Source Power for high-speed racing, the opponent definitely won’t hold out for long.

Yan Tiejun prided himself on having Source Power slightly stronger than Gao Xuan, so he didn’t mind having a long run with Gao Xuan.

Gao Xuan circled half around the Yunbo Convention Hall, and realizing he couldn’t shake off Yan Tiejun, he went straight for the back door.

The back door of the Yunbo Convention Hall was a delicately crafted moon gate, allowing only people to pass, not cars.

Beyond the back door was a long alley flanked by high walls, too narrow for cars to enter.

Gao Xuan burst out through the back door, accelerating into a watery shadow that swiftly shot dozens of meters, nearly bursting out of the alley.

Behind, Yan Tiejun took a deep breath, infusing his surging Source Power into the Thunder New Moon Slash.

The crescent-shaped elegant saber suddenly surged with bright blade light, transforming him into a blazing thunder light that shot forward in fury.

Yan Tiejun’s sudden burst of speed was more than three times that of Gao Xuan. As Gao Xuan barely cleared the alley, Yan Tiejun was already behind him.

Gao Xuan suddenly turned, drawing his sword to stab fiercely, as if ready to fight to the death with Yan Tiejun.

Yan Tiejun sneered internally, believing that in his extreme state, no matter how brilliant Gao Xuan’s Swordsmanship was, it couldn’t withstand his slash.

Yan Tiejun gathered his sword momentum, preparing to kill Gao Xuan with a full-force blow. As for interrogating him, that was of no concern now.

Just as Yan Tiejun was about to strike, he suddenly sensed a subtle disturbance in the Thunder Saber Qi.

"Ghost Spear is sniping me!"

Yan Tiejun immediately realized something was wrong; such a situation clearly indicated that a sniper bullet was rapidly approaching.

The opponent had shielded his senses, which is why he hadn’t sensed the threat earlier. Only when the encompassing Thunder Saber Qi felt the intrusion did he awaken to the danger.

Zhao Yong had also mentioned the Ghost Spear. After all, Fang Zhenshan had died at the hands of the Ghost Spear.

Yan Tiejun was wary of the Ghost Spear because a sniper that could block senses was terrifying.

Yet he hadn’t imagined the shot would come so abruptly, so bizarrely.

Considering he had rushed out of the alley at incredible speed, the Ghost Spear would need to fire in advance to hit him.

How did the Ghost Spear know his exact speed and whether he would change pace?

Yet, the opponent had calculated everything, and as he emerged, the bullet was already there.

Despite being surprised, Yan Tiejun remained composed, retaining enough power to adapt.

He roused the Source Power nodes, ready to unleash the Thunder New Moon Slash again, when he heard a low "zheng" sound of a sword cry in his ears.

The cry sounded like countless demons whispering, singing; even with Yan Tiejun’s high Source Power Cultivation, he was momentarily dazed.

This dazed moment lasted about point one second — just enough time for the sniper bullet to strike Yan Tiejun’s cheek.

The nearly seven-times-speed-of-sound bullet’s startling kinetic energy triggered Yan Tiejun’s Thunder Saber Qi.

The azure blade light flared brilliantly, its fiery, unparalleled radiance like a blue sun, illuminating the area as if in daytime.

The sniper bullet was shattered and melted by the exploding blade light, causing no harm to Yan Tiejun.

Though Yan Tiejun’s all-out burst dimmed his gaze slightly, and most of his protective Thunder Saber Qi dissipated.

Zhao Yong, following behind, was also startled, not knowing what had happened, but seeing Yan Tiejun suddenly pause, then unleash a frantic burst of power.

The War Tiger Armor’s onboard light computer informed Zhao Yong that Yan Tiejun was under a sniper attack.

Of course, the light computer communicated via electromagnetic waves directly with Zhao Yong’s brain, allowing for timely information analysis and judgment.

"Ghost Spear!"

Zhao Yong was both astonished and angry, realizing that the Ghost Spear and this assassin were indeed accomplices. Fortunately, Yan Tiejun’s power was mighty, leaving him unscathed.

As Zhao Yong was relieved that Yan Tiejun was all right, Yan Tiejun was already caught in an extremely dire situation.

For the second sniper bullet was already there, and the opponent fired the two shots with no hesitation.

Yan Tiejun dared not use Saber Qi to counter again, as he now had little left to trigger and couldn’t afford such a waste. Besides, he wasn’t sure he could block this shot with Saber Qi.

The Thunder New Moon Slash stood vertically, its slender crescent blade protecting half of Yan Tiejun’s face.

The sniper bullet struck the Thunder New Moon Slash, the vibrating blade flowing like rippling light, yet it inflicted no damage on the blade.

Yet Yan Tiejun had no time to rejoice, as Gao Xuan’s Godslaying Sword was already thrusting directly toward him.

Yan Tiejun, desperate, pushed his Thunder Half Moon Slash to its limits in a last-ditch effort.

Just as the azure blade light shone, the blood-red sword light unfolded before Yan Tiejun’s eyes.

The blood light was stunningly colorful, like a dreamlike illusion.

Yan Tiejun couldn’t describe the sword light; he only felt his Thunder Half Moon Slash was so sluggish, so stiff, so dead, so heavy.

"It’s over..."

Yan Tiejun realized his fatal end, sinking into endless despair.

The brilliantly unparalleled blood-red sword light flashed once and extinguished, leaving a lethal blood flower on Yan Tiejun’s forehead.

Yan Tiejun’s body froze, every bit of life severed by this sword.

Zhao Yong, arriving from behind, halted in shock, staring dumbfounded at Yan Tiejun’s corpse, hardly believing his eyes.

Gao Xuan sheathed his sword, turning his head towards Zhao Yong.

Only then did the deep, resonant sound of the Kun Gunir Sniper Rifle tear through the air, echoing in the alley.

Zhao Yong snapped out of his daze, immediately turning to flee desperately. ƒrēenovelkiss.com

The previously formidable War Tiger Armor now appeared so panicked and forlorn.
