King of Assassins-Chapter 712 - 531 No Problem

The three super-tier golden powerhouses, Master Zhou, Zhang Daoyuan, and Yuan Anshi, possessed powers nearly equal to one another, with no clear superiority among them.

Each of these super-tier golden powerhouses held the most top-tier divine artifact of their respective family.

Master Zhou's Innate Eight Trigrams Mirror controlled the Innate Eight Sects, with vast divine techniques.

Zhang Daoyuan's Peace Seal had the power to stabilize the heavens with a single impression.

Yuan Anshi's Celestial Wolf Saber was renowned as the most lethal among all the many divine artifacts of the Twelve Golden Families, being the fiercest and most ruthless.

Each of these super-tier golden powerhouses was no less formidable than Liu Ye. In a real comparison, they fell just a notch short of Qin Shiyue, who wielded the Nine Provinces Cauldron.

These three super-tier golden powerhouses dared to try and take advantage, naturally they had their confidence.

However, the battle outcome far exceeded their expectations; even Qin Fei, who broke through during the fight, lost somehow without knowing how.

Gao Xuan entered the Nine Provinces Cauldron; they initially thought both sides would engage in a fierce battle. In the end, nothing happened.

As the few were hesitating whether to leave, they were caught by Gao Xuan in one go.

To be honest, none of the three wanted to fight Gao Xuan. Qin Fei was defeated too quickly, and they couldn't discern the foundation of Gao Xuan's power. Taking action recklessly, they feared there was no chance of victory.

Of course, this didn't mean the three were genuinely afraid of Gao Xuan.

At the level of super-tier golden, the differences between them were very small. The cultivation secret technique varied, the mastered divine artifacts differed, making it hard to accurately assess their combat strength.

Even someone as strong as Qin Shiyue, if leaving the range of the Nine Provinces Cauldron, might not be a match for other super-tier goldens.

Moreover, the three super-tier golden powerhouses gathered together. They never imagined Gao Xuan would directly take them on all at once.

Gao Xuan practically regarded the trio as nonentity, and this contemptuous attitude further infuriated the three golden powerhouses.

No matter what, they stood at the pinnacle of human strength, yet Gao Xuan was so arrogant.

However, the anger of the three super-tier golden powerhouses only lasted a very short time. Then, the three golden powerhouses were left with only stern unease in their hearts.

Gao Xuan's abyssal sword intent was truly like an endless abyss, completely engulfing the three golden powerhouses.

The three super-tier golden powerhouses were completely separated, with each one only sensing the endless darkness. Besides that, the world seemed to have entirely disappeared. Everyone else had disappeared too.

Master Zhou looked at the Innate Eight Trigrams Copper Mirror in his hand, both shocked and bewildered.

The Innate Eight Trigrams Mirror unleashed the Eight Trigrams Symbols to guard the eight directions, keeping the endless darkness at bay.

Through the Innate Eight Trigrams Mirror, Master Zhou could freely come and go in any direction.

While the Innate Eight Trigrams Mirror was not adept at frontal combat, it was a spatial divine artifact, its transformations more refined even than the Nine Provinces Cauldron.

Master Zhou could use the Innate Eight Trigrams Mirror to set up a spatial maze array or to break through any space constraints.

Heaven and Earth, Mountain and Lake, Water and Fire, Wind and Thunder, the Eight Gates also represented eight kinds of powers. Master Zhou also gathered the Power of the Eight Gates onto himself, increasing his power eightfold.

However, such potent power was not something he could endure. Opening the Eight Gates would surely result in his death.

With Master Zhou's current power, opening four gates to borrow power was already the limit.

Master Zhou originally didn't want to engage in a tough battle with Gao Xuan; his plan was to open the Eight Gates and quickly escape the battle.

However, the Eight Gates opened by the Innate Eight Trigrams Mirror were all sealed off by the Endless Abyss.

No matter which gate he entered, he could not leave this abyss.

Master Zhou sensed the endless profundity of the abyss, increasingly horrified in his heart. Gao Xuan's sword intent was vast and expansive to this extent. Could even the Innate Eight Trigrams Mirror not break it?

Since he mastered the Innate Eight Trigrams Mirror, he had never encountered such a situation.

Wanting to leave, he didn't know which direction to take; wanting to fight yet unable to find an opponent; wanting to exert force but unable to find where to apply it!

Gao Xuan's sword intent evolved the abyss, with only endless darkness and void, yet possessing the power to devour everything.

Master Zhou knew that no matter how vast and expansive Gao Xuan's sword intent was, it must have a limit. It couldn't possibly cover a range of tens of light years.

Since the Innate Eight Trigrams Mirror couldn't find a spatial exit, it must be that the space law of the Innate Eight Trigrams Mirror was suppressed.

Another possibility was that his divine soul was trapped by Gao Xuan's sword intent, unable to sense the real world. It could even be both.

Master Zhou remained clear-headed, able to calmly analyze his situation. However, knowing this was useless.

To break through Gao Xuan's sword intent, he could only forcefully open the Innate Eight Gates. Yet Master Zhou was unwilling to do so.

Opening the Innate Eight Gates would cause him immense harm, damage that was irreparable.

At this stage, his greatest wish was to live as long as possible. Exerting life power to desperately fight was not in his nature.

Moreover, his burst of power would surely attract Gao Xuan first.

Yuan Anshi's Celestial Wolf Saber was best at lethal combat. This person's nature was also the most unyielding. He would never sit still and wait for death.

When Yuan Anshi erupted with power, Master Zhou could then take the opportunity to open the Innate Eight Gates and escape.

As for Zhang Daoyuan, this person was reserved in character. Maybe by now he had already knelt and surrendered.

Master Zhou didn't guess wrong; Zhang Daoyuan, holding the Peace Seal, was bowing deeply with hands clasped.

He spoke into the endless dark void, "Mr. Gao, this old man is willing to submit."

A white figure flashed, and Gao Xuan appeared before Zhang Daoyuan. He smiled at Zhang Daoyuan, "Surrendering now is too late."

Zhang Daoyuan wasn't angry; he replied calmly, "Mr. Gao, with divine techniques unmatched, is a peerless powerhouse destined to dominate the Star River. There's no need to fuss over an old man like me.

"Moreover, as an elder of the Zhang Family, I still hold some prestige. I could assist Mr. Gao in handling some trivial matters."
