King of Assassins-Chapter 675 - 509: The Beautiful Landscape_4

While the two spoke politely, Yun Qingshang, Jin Guangzu, and Jin Guangyao all retreated.

The core area of a battle at this level was too dangerous. They also needed to maintain some distance to ensure safety.

Jin Guangzu said to Jin Guangyao, "Keep an eye on Yun Qingshang. Hold her off if necessary. I'll go help the ancestor."

Holding the Seven Great Resentments Saber, Jin Guangzu believed his power was not inferior to Jin Ge. In some aspects, he even far surpassed Jin Ge.

Jin Guangzu fixed a deathly stare on Gao Xuan, his Spiritual Power locking onto the opponent from all directions. He was ready to draw his saber without hesitation at the slightest opportunity.

A streak of aqua-colored Sword Light unfolded before Jin Guangzu's eyes, instantly occupying his sight and dominating his entire Spiritual Power.

Every level of Jin Guangzu's perception was overwhelmed by the all-encompassing aqua-colored Sword Light.

At this moment, Venus lost its light. The nearby Spiritual Star shining with seven-colored light also disappeared. Even the vast Star River was completely swallowed by the aqua-colored Sword Light.

Jin Guangzu momentarily froze; such grand Sword Light, he had never seen in his life.

He never imagined that Sword Light could wield the power to shroud the cosmos. More profoundly, that aqua-colored Sword Light was not tumultuous but resembled a calm lake.

He felt submerged in water, surrounded by pure, clear water with no boundaries in sight.

The endless aqua-colored Sword Light seemed to swallow his soul.

Jin Guangzu felt an overwhelming fear, akin to a person with aquaphobia plunging into the ocean depths.

The pure, endless Sword Light gave him a deep, inscrutable feeling of being devoured.

Not only Jin Guangzu, but even Jin Guangyao was dazed by the Sword Light, momentarily losing control.

As for the many Golden Powerhouses watching from afar, they were all engulfed by the Sword Light that drowned the Star River; for a moment, they knew not where they were, their spirits and souls intimidated by the Sword Light.

Gao Xuan's Swordsmanship had reached such a point, faintly touching upon the Sword Skill Extreme Realm. Even an Evil God like the Black Banner King was awe-struck by his Sword Light, what immense power.

Ordinary Golden Powerhouses would perish instantly under his sweep of Sword Intent.

If it weren't for their top-tier Divine Artifacts protecting their bodies, minds, and souls, Jin Guangzu and Jin Guangyao would have been dispatched by Gao Xuan's sword.

Jin Ge, deserving of being a Golden Upper-tier Powerhouse, could still stand firm in the face of the Water Heaven Sword's Abyssal move.

His power condensed, with his body and Divine Soul tightly united, immovable amidst the endless Sword Light.

This kind of response wasn't remarkable, but at least it wasn't an instant defeat.

Gao Xuan thought highly of Jin Ge. In terms of strength level, he surpassed Robin but was weaker than Marco.

The primary reason was Marco's exceptional freedom of mind and body. Without special means, it was impossible to restrain Marco.

Jin Ge was conventional—strong but balanced in all aspects, without obvious flaws but not exceedingly impressive.

Such an unchanging strategy was adequate against Sword Intent transforming to Sword Light. However, once the Hongyi Sword fell, Jin Ge would be obliterated by the sword.

Still, this Golden Upper-tier Powerhouse likely wouldn't die so easily.

Gao Xuan was also a bit curious about the power in that folding fan in Jin Ge's hand.

He knew a bit about the Scenic Mountains and Rivers Fan.

As an assassin, Gao Xuan certainly collected all possible information and prepared for various contingencies before acting.

Though his actions were always direct and forceful, that was because he made thorough preparations.

The Seventh Sage Authority allowed him to access considerable data, and with the Book of All-Knowing, there were virtually no gaps.

However, knowing was one thing; actual combat was another.

The Book of All-Knowing could not predict the future; it could only answer questions about things that have happened or are definitively determined.

Gao Xuan knew about Jin Ge's Scenic Mountains and Rivers Fan, but as for how formidable Jin Ge was with the fan, he could only make a rough estimate.

The Hongyi Sword twisted, its clear like water blade piercing toward Jin Ge's chest under the cover of endless Sword Light.

As the sword tip thrust down, a black folding fan in Jin Ge's hand suddenly unfurled.

The fan surface was entirely black, with a faintly golden landscape painting on it.

The painting depicted a chain of mountains, with a peculiar pine standing alone atop the foremost peak.

Below the mountains flowed the mighty Yangtze River, its turbulent waters stirring up waves.

This faint golden painting of majestic, unyielding mountains and the surging river below captured the essence of the landscape.

The simple painting, minimal in strokes yet profound in intent, was a masterpiece.

Gao Xuan knew the Scenic Mountains and Rivers Fan could alter space in a very mysterious way. He turned his sword to retract and change his move.

The Hongyi Sword was so agile in his hands that no matter how good Jin Ge was, he couldn't compare in Swordsmanship.

Jin Ge ignored Gao Xuan's change of move, shaking the folding fan in his hand, and the endless Golden Light drowning the Star River vanished instantly.

Even Gao Xuan, controlling the sword, also disappeared in an instant.

Yun Qingshang, watching from behind, was startled, as she completely lost sense of Gao Xuan in that instant.

It was as if Gao Xuan had never existed in this world.

Jin Guangyao and Jin Guangzu both suddenly came to their senses, far less than Yun Qingshang, remained unaware of what had happened to Gao Xuan.

As for the many Golden Elders spectating from the back, they were even more clueless about the situation.

However, with Gao Xuan and the Sword Light suddenly gone, it was obvious that Jin Ge had won!

Yun Qingshang didn't think Gao Xuan lost, but the question was, where did he go? Was he moved away?

Yun Qingshang's gaze shifted, suddenly landing on the unfolded Scenic Mountains and Rivers Fan.

Beside the peculiar lone pine in the landscape painting, a shadowy figure had appeared at some point.

The figure was blurred, its appearance indistinct, but one could see it was wearing a long robe and holding a sword, standing by the pine tree in an elegant posture, seemingly performing a sword dance.

Yun Qingshang's eyes narrowed; though the figure's face was obscure, she recognized at once that it was Gao Xuan!

The many keen-eyed Golden Powerhouses of the Jin Family also noticed the additional sword-wielding figure on the fan.

Jin Guangzu couldn't help but smile, thinking if they'd known the victory would be so easy, why bother wasting words with Gao Xuan!

The many Golden Elders in the back also beamed with joy.

This victory came far too easily!
