King of Assassins-Chapter 769 - 567: Sweep

The radar sensors scattered throughout the starry sky captured the trajectory of four antimatter star-killing bombs.

The electric light propelling the antimatter star-killing bombs was too bright, leaving extremely noticeable light traces as they sliced through the starry sky.

"The first one will hit the target in 23 seconds..."

The technician on the command ship was analyzing, and suddenly his face changed dramatically, "The target has disappeared!"

Before the technician could speak, both Wali and the Master of Desire saw it. On the screen, Gao Xuan's eight arm blades spread open like wings behind him, and the divine light emitted from the eight arm blades formed a pair of light wings.

The next moment, Gao Xuan had vanished without a trace.

Wali stared in amazement at the Master of Desire, the difference from her prior predictions was too great.

Gao Xuan seemed to have noticed the main cannon's attack and ran, showing no intention of protecting Pegasus Star.

The Master of Desire ignored Wali, "Why are you in such a rush?"

Even though she was only a doppelgänger, her spiritual power could still track Gao Xuan.

The strange metal wings on his back allowed Gao Xuan to perform a brief space jump. But in this environment with extremely low Source Power levels, Gao Xuan's space jump trajectory was extremely obvious.

The immense rippling Source Power had already surpassed the limits of the Source Power Law. It was only because Gao Xuan's metal wings on his back had a unique way of operating energy that he could barely perform a space jump.

Although the Master of Desire couldn't discern the working changes of the metal wings, she could understand its operating mechanism. Like the Divine Power Law, it could to some extent distort the Source Power Law.

Even so, this kind of space jump by Gao Xuan consumed an extremely large amount of energy.

If it were to evade the main cannon's attack, it wouldn't require such an effort. Even if it were to chase the fleet, it wouldn't be necessary.

So, Gao Xuan intends to actively intercept the antimatter star-killing bombs?!

The Master of Desire couldn't help but smile, even in the Central Star Realm, it is difficult to directly intercept an antimatter star-killing bomb.

Antimatter star-killing bombs release immense energy through antimatter annihilation, already exceeding the super-tier powerhouses.

The true strength of super-tier powerhouses lies in their ability to control energy and transform it at will. If simply comparing energy, individual life forms can never compare with nature.

Even any random star releases energy a million times more than divine beings. But it can't be said that a star is stronger than a divine being.

This energy, originating from the laws of matter, is passively released and has no meaning without conscious control.

Gao Xuan, recklessly attempting to confront the antimatter star-killing bomb directly, plays right into her hands.

The Master of Desire's emerald eyes grew even deeper; to deal with Gao Xuan, she used the Desire Chains.

This was condensed from the spiritual power of billions of believers, with the fiercest human desires as the core.

As long as a being has wisdom, there must be desire. Without desire, they do not qualify as living beings.

The Desire Chains are not about how strong the power is, but about having desire as the core, it can connect with the souls of any beings, linking closely with their desires.

Gao Xuan, though strong, also has his desires.

Previously, the God of Desire did not dare to act rashly for fear that establishing a connection might instead alert Gao Xuan to her presence.

Now, as Gao Xuan is about to confront the antimatter star-killing bomb, he doesn't have the time to vie with her.

The Master of Desire's deep gaze pierced through the void, settling on Gao Xuan, who was activating the Sky-breaking Divine Wings.

The invisible Desire Chains also bound around Gao Xuan's soul.

For the Desire Chains, each living being's desires are like countless hooks. When the Desire Chains are placed, they naturally link closely to the other side's desires.

Gao Xuan's spirit is no exception; the Desire Chains easily establish a connection with his desires, closely locking together.

Through the Desire Chains, the Master of Desire could observe Gao Xuan more directly.

Of course, the Master of Desire couldn't see what Gao Xuan was thinking or how he operated his power. She could only sense his emotional fluctuations and see his movements change.

Gao Xuan's space jump was very precise, landing directly in front of the first antimatter star-killing bomb.

The brilliant sword light in his hand flickered, and the blade had already deeply cleaved into the warhead of the antimatter star-killing bomb.

The antimatter star-killing bomb, stimulated by strong energy, exploded immediately.

The annihilation of antimatter released immense energy, and a mass of nearly black flames erupted in the starry sky.

The terrifying energy impact ignited endless flames in the starry sky, spreading outward at the speed of light.

The two antimatter star-killing bombs following closely behind were inevitably affected by the energy impact.

Although antimatter star-killing bombs are very stable, such violent impacts triggered the detonation of the warheads.

The successive explosions of three antimatter star-killing bombs covered this part of the starry sky with blazing flames.

Not only were the radars and sensors in this area all destroyed.

However, the officers of this fleet had witnessed the scene. The fleet's commanders were all terrified.

An antimatter star-killing bomb detonated with a single sword strike—could this still be done by a human? Even divine beings couldn't do this, right?

Even though many commanders were bewitched by the Evil God's influence, their intellect remained intact. They all realized the terror of Gao Xuan.

For a moment, the entire fleet fell into silence.

Wali was particularly flustered too; what to do now?

Gao Xuan had detonated three antimatter star-killing bombs with one sword, a method that was truly miraculous.

The most terrifying part was that at the moment of the antimatter star-killing bomb's explosion, Gao Xuan seemed to have immediately detached from the core explosion area.

The power of the antimatter star-killing bomb explosion, no matter how great, posed no threat to Gao Xuan.

With Gao Xuan's method of space jumping, even if he wanted to escape now, it wouldn't be too late.

Wali couldn't help but look at the Master of Desire, now relying solely on this Evil God.

But the Master of Desire didn't glance at Wali; instead, her emerald eyes deeply reflected the figure of Gao Xuan.

In the eyes of the Master of Desire, Gao Xuan's body exhibited not a strong Source Power reaction, but his emotions were very intense, filled with fighting spirit.

The core energy on Gao Xuan's body all came from the center of his chest armor, where a deep blue aperture rotated silently, hiding an unknown vast energy inside.

The Master of Desire actually had a chance to attack just now, but she hesitated, wanting to see how Gao Xuan would handle the Antimatter Star-Killing Bomb.

In the end, Gao Xuan's response was extremely simple. He directly struck with a sword to detonate it, then jumped through space before the explosion.

It sounds simple, but the Antimatter Star-Killing Bomb explodes within one-thousandth of a second.

Conducting a space jump before the explosion, if he were just a bit off, Gao Xuan could be blown up on the spot.

In the eyes of the Master of Desire, there really was no room for error. Knowing there was a strong enemy nearby, Gao Xuan dared to do this, showing tremendous courage.

If she had attacked just now, she might indeed have resolved Gao Xuan.

However, she still had a chance. There was another Antimatter Star-Killing Bomb unaffected, and Gao Xuan had to detonate it again.

Moreover, Gao Xuan didn't have much time. Once the Antimatter Star-Killing Bomb reached near space of Pegasus Star, even if it exploded remotely, it would cause great damage to Pegasus Star.

Sure enough, in the next moment, Gao Xuan was in front of the Antimatter Star-Killing Bomb again.

This time, Gao Xuan didn't use a sword; he directly struck with a palm.

The light-speed Antimatter Star-Killing Bomb was too fast, and Gao Xuan had to make the most precise move at the precise point to hit this Antimatter Star-Killing Bomb.

It can be said that the entire process required extreme precision, leaving no room for the slightest mistake.

Just as Gao Xuan struck, the Master of Desire activated the Desire Chain.

This mental attack ignored spatial distance and directly acted on Gao Xuan's mind.

The Master of Desire's attack was also simple, directly infusing all the accumulated primal, turbid desires of countless followers into Gao Xuan's mind.

Such a massive desire made no sense; it was the most pure desire, turbid yet real and powerful.

Even with Gao Xuan's strong spiritual will, he was momentarily dazed when overwhelmed by countless desires.

The palm indeed struck the Antimatter Star-Killing Bomb, but his Sky-breaking Divine Wings failed to jump out immediately.

As a result, the antimatter annihilation exploded, releasing a black light mass that covered the starry sky.

Because of the Desire Chain, the Master of Desire sensed the massive shock in Gao Xuan's mind. Her eyes were also covered by the black flame, instantly losing track of Gao Xuan.

"Commander, the fourth Antimatter Star-Killing Bomb was also detonated."

The staff reported the latest situation to Wali as they monitored the antimatter energy explosion.

Wali anxiously looked at the Master of Desire, "How is it?"

The Master of Desire showed hesitation. The Desire Chain wasn't completely broken, and she seemed to sense Gao Xuan's presence faintly, but couldn't confirm his current status.

Gao Xuan was directly hit by the Antimatter Star-Killing Bomb, even if he wasn't dead, he'd be severely wounded!

However, she didn't feel assured at all.

The Master of Desire said after a moment of silence, "Gao Xuan should be severely injured. Immediately search for his whereabouts. We must eradicate future threats while we can."

Wali couldn't help but be pleased. Gao Xuan being severely injured was good news. Even if they couldn't capture Gao Xuan, at least with his fleet, he could retreat safely.

The Ten Thousand Spirits Star Realm could no longer be stayed in. However, the cosmos is vast. Worst case, they go to the Outer Star Realm.

With the current flying ship technology, self-sufficiency was possible. Wandering in the endless starry sky was better than being killed by Gao Xuan.

Wali obviously didn't want to wander; he wanted to do his best to kill Gao Xuan.

"Where is Gao Xuan hiding?"

The Master of Desire shook her head, "I don't know."

Wali's eyes showed a ruthless expression, "Ships 02, 03, 04, follow orders. Activate the Antimatter Star-Killing Cannon, target Pegasus Star, fire immediately."

The commanders of several main battleships hesitated upon this order. With no trace of Gao Xuan, what was the use of attacking Pegasus Star?

However, the commanders quickly responded. They were already tied together with Wali; they had no choice but to press forward.

As for what would happen to Pegasus Star, it didn't matter.

The Master of Desire looked at Wali with some surprise, "I didn't expect you to have such methods."

Since they couldn't find Gao Xuan, they launched the Antimatter Star-Killing Bomb to attack Pegasus Star, forcing Gao Xuan out.

Hmm, even if he can't be forced out, it's not much of a loss. At most, Pegasus Star would be shattered, killing billions of people.

But no matter how many died, what did it have to do with Wali and the others? There was no turning back at this point, no need to consider humanitarian notions.

Wali said coldly, "Who told them to be associated with Gao Xuan? They can only blame their unlucky fate."

"This move is quite vicious. You really are a talent!"

Gao Xuan's voice suddenly entered the command ship, and his image appeared on the screen.

Radar accurately measured the distance between Gao Xuan and the ship, a distance of three thousand kilometers.

On the screen, Gao Xuan looked somewhat miserable. His black metal armor was mostly shattered, but his body was unharmed.

The exposed skin looked glossy and delicate, seemingly unaffected by the cold of space.

Wali looked at the Master of Desire in disbelief, wasn't she saying Gao Xuan was severely injured, but this was severe?

The Master of Desire also showed intense confusion in her eyes, as she had clearly sensed a drastic weakening in Gao Xuan's presence, yet he seemed fine?

Gao Xuan held the Infinite Godslaying Spear in his hand and pointed, "In a hurry, no time to chat. I'll send you on your way now."

Gao Xuan's spiritual power still vibrated within the command cabin, but he himself had transformed into a dark golden stream of light, directly piercing towards Wali's mothership.

The mothership's automatic defenses activated, and hundreds of plasma cannons fired simultaneously, intersecting into a dazzling web of light in the sky.

The unwavering dark golden stream of light penetrated the dazzling web and pierced through the massive space battleship.

After the dark golden light passed, the space battleship suddenly fragmented and exploded into a fierce ball of flame.

The giant fleet surrounding the space battleship hesitated for less than a minute before hastily scattering and fleeing in panic.
