King of Assassins-Chapter 766 - 564: Descent_2

Yun Qingshang felt bored, but she would not go against Gao Xuan's wishes.

Once everything was set up, Gao Xuan sat with Yun Qingshang in the tent, fiddling with the charcoal stove.

This stove was small, yet capable of grilling meat, and even cooking rice and soup.

Gao Xuan was in high spirits, continuously flipping the marinated beef. Although the sealed tent was equipped with ventilation, the strong aroma of grilled meat filled every corner of the tent.

"Hurry up and eat, it won't taste good once it's cold..."

Gao Xuan gave Yun Qingshang a couple of pieces of meat, and he sighed, saying, "Do you remember? When we were fourteen, we spent the night on this icefield and I grilled ice bear meat. It was dry and gamey, really damn awful to eat..."

"At that time, I made a vow in my heart that when I became successful in the future, I would make a great grilled feast here and bring you along!"

Yun Qingshang originally had no impression of this, but upon Gao Xuan's mention, she remembered.

Back then, Gao Xuan had little combat power, yet he had an extraordinary intuition for danger. The two supported each other and managed to graduate.

Yun Qingshang ate two pieces of grilled meat, evaluating, "It does taste better than what we had back then."

"Hahahaha..."

Gao Xuan fulfilled his teenage wish, feeling particularly good.

"At that time, my greatest wish was to be an ordinary person, find a dutiful and honest girl to marry and start a family. Back then, I even thought you were quite good, speaking little and having a good temper..."

Yun Qingshang said nothing, knowing that Gao Xuan did not need her to respond.

Gao Xuan let out a long sigh, "Those were such naïve times."

Then he continued, "However, we're living pretty well now. We eat what we want, play how we like, and fight whoever we want!"

Yun Qingshang nodded, "You're right."

"You're so perfunctory, not a bit sincere..."

Gao Xuan wiped his oily mouth, "Forget it, let's sleep after we're full."

He crawled into his sleeping bag and said to Yun Qingshang, "Sleep well, the enemy will arrive in three hours."

Yun Qingshang nodded silently, though she did not intend to sleep. She trusted Gao Xuan's judgment but preferred not to take risks.

Gao Xuan did not force her either. After lying down with his eyes closed for a while, he couldn't help but ask again, "My sleeping bag is really comfortable. Want to try it out together?"

"Do you really need that?" Yun Qingshang asked calmly.

"Uh, I was just casually asking."

Gao Xuan closed his eyes and truly fell asleep.

Although the Six-winged Celestial Cicada was also heavily injured, he had formally reached the Divine Level. For anything related to his future, he would have a sense.

This time the enemy was very strong, and the stronger they were, the clearer his sense.

Returning to the familiar place of his youth and recalling his youthful life, Gao Xuan entered a relaxed state.

He truly fell asleep.

Watching the peacefully sleeping Gao Xuan, Yun Qingshang slowly relaxed too. With Gao Xuan nearby, her heart would settle peacefully, without any worry or unease. Even if she had the power to dominate the Alliance, this fact remained unchanged.

When Gao Xuan opened his eyes again, three hours had just passed.

He poured out the hot water boiling on the stove, washed his face and hands, and changed into the Celestial Spirit Sword Robe.

Even though Source Power was limited, it was no problem to condense the sword robe with Celestial Spirit Sword Qi.

Gao Xuan stepped out of the tent; the sun in the distance had already dipped below the icefield.

The sun of the polar regions would also circle around, but it would soon return. The darkest moment was merely the dawn state on the Beikun Icefield.

Though the sun was unseen, the sky was bright.

For the Beikun Icefield, it had already entered nighttime.

Facing the cold wind, Gao Xuan took a deep breath, feeling refreshed.

He gently rubbed his face, and the drowsiness from his sleep completely faded, leaving him fully alert.

He spoke towards the empty space ahead, "Since the two of you have come, there's no need to be sneaky."

Before Gao Xuan's words finished, the air faintly rippled, revealing two figures, one red and one black.

The red figure was tall, entirely crimson, with indistinct features, only having fiery red eyes flickering like flames.

The black figure appeared as a mass of black smoke, with a body that swayed uncertainly, seemingly ready to drift away with the wind at any moment.

These two figures lacked clear gender. Or perhaps they only possessed basic human forms without specific characteristics.

"Master of Blood, Master of Shadows."

Gao Xuan smiled, "You two are quite bold to appear before me."

These figures were indeed the Master of Blood and the Master of Shadows. Their divine power was intense, so even if not their true forms, they were especially significant avatars.

With their appearance, the sky darkened. The white icefield turned gray as if a black veil covered the sky and the icefield, making the once snowy and bright landscape become bleak.

The oncoming cold wind also suddenly carried a few traces of bloodiness that pierced the Divine Soul.

"To descend with true bodies, you guys are truly courageous."

Gao Xuan's Celestial Dragon Eye was very powerful, instantly seeing that both Evil Gods had descended in their true forms.

Under normal circumstances, a Divine would only project consciousness into the Positive Cosmos Space. Regardless of how many times their projected consciousness was destroyed, it wouldn't truly harm them.

However, descending with a true body was different. If their true body was killed, they could potentially be completely destroyed.

Yun Qingshang's eyes showed heavy vigilance. Although the two Divines were inevitably restricted by Source Power Law, the divine power reacting from them was uniquely strong.

In the environment of Pegasus Star, they could still create anomalies to alter heaven and earth. Truly mighty Evil Gods.

With her instinct as a strong warrior, Yun Qingshang sensed extremely intense danger from the two Divines.

Undoubtedly, these two Divines had the ability to kill her.

Of course, she also had the opportunity to kill them. This was an exceptionally dangerous battle. A slight misstep, and she and Gao Xuan would be buried here.

Master of Blood merely glanced at Yun Qingshang, before refocusing his gaze on Gao Xuan.

"Truly a peerless powerhouse..."

Master of Blood's tone was cold, with the distinct haughtiness of a Divine, yet it brimmed with appreciation for Gao Xuan.

"You are but one step away from Divine Enthronement. We can lead you into the Divine Country."

Master of Shadows's voice floated like smoke, indistinct and elusive, blending together. Though he stood still, there was an eerie phantom-like quality to it.

Master of Shadows finally said, "We have only one request: the Alliance to divide its regions and not interfere with ours."

"I give you a chance, and you say this? Can't you think of better lines? It's a waste of my emotions. You guys as Evil Gods, are really low-grade."

Master of Blood and Master of Shadows' words were uninteresting, leading Gao Xuan to lose patience: "A bunch of rats hiding in the sewer, yet talking about leading me? Ridiculous."

Saying this, Gao Xuan had already activated the Godslaying Sword, and the bloodred Sword Light suddenly flashed, piercing straight towards Master of Blood.
