King of Assassins-Chapter 954 - 64: Heartless Sword (Part 2)
"So you chose to help Qin Shiyue."
Gao Xuan nodded: "That makes sense. A very wise choice."
Nuwa was somewhat displeased as she said: "You don't need to mock me."
Gao Xuan sincerely said: "I'm not that sarcastic, what you did indeed makes sense."
He added another sentence: "However, I can't accept it emotionally. Sister, you understand, right?"
Nuwa said, feeling downcast: "I understand."
She then forced herself to be spirited and said: "I ask myself and find I have no guilt, I will take whatever may come."
Having said everything, there was nothing to fear.
Gao Xuan then looked at Jin Yuxiu: "Here's a chance, do you have anything you want to say to me?"
Jin Yuxiu paused in silence then said: "I want my family to live better, is that wrong?"
"It's not wrong."
Gao Xuan nodded understandably: "We were no more than a chance meeting, mere lust at first sight, not even worthy of being called a casual couple. If you were to abandon everything for me, that would indeed be crazy."
"It's good that you understand. I did indeed betray your trust. That was wrong of me."
Jin Yuxiu calmly said: "At this point, there's no turning back for me. I know your temperament; you will never let this go and walk away. If you want to kill me, I will fight back to the death and never sit and wait for my end!"
"Very bold, truly the woman I fancy."
Gao Xuan gave Jin Yuxiu a thumbs up and praised: "You're really outstanding."
Jin Yuxiu smiled brightly at Gao Xuan. She knew Gao Xuan's compliment was sincere, not mocking. This was what made Gao Xuan captivating.
This man was truly charming.
Gao Xuan then looked at Imperia: "I know your reasons. Back then, I killed your father. You've already said you want revenge."
He said with some amusement: "I was a bit naive at the time, a sentimental fool. I always thought I could conquer women's hearts with my charm. Reality slapped me in the face harshly, leaving me speechless."
Imperia's gorgeous and seductive face showed a mix of emotions, "You shouldn't say that. I was really infatuated with you back then."
She then proudly said: "I did this partly because of the vendetta for my father's death, and partly because I saw an opportunity. An opportunity to wield great power myself. Why should I settle for being the boss's woman when I could be the boss myself?"
"Makes sense."
Gao Xuan nodded in agreement: "If it were me, I would do the same."
Imperia coldly said: "I take responsibility for my actions. If you want to settle the account, I'm fully prepared."
"So bold and brave."
Gao Xuan exclaimed, he then looked at Qin Shiyue, "They've all spoken convincingly. What about you, Old Qin, what's your reasoning?"
Qin Shiyue smiled wryly: "What reasoning could I have? Just a surge of greed, wanting to hold power. You weren't around, it's not like you could keep your position any longer."
In front of Gao Xuan and many Saints of the Holy Hall, Qin Shiyue didn't offer any lofty arguments. He felt it was pointless.
Gao Xuan wouldn't be swayed by grand arguments, and the Saints of the Holy Hall didn't need to hear them either.
Qin Shiyue was indeed a peerless and cunning hero, able to endure loneliness and lower his pride. At this point, there was no need to beautify himself.
What was done was done; whatever Gao Xuan planned to do, just bring it on.
"That's true. I was deep in a coma, yet still tried to control the Holy Hall with a few women, really lacking self-awareness."
Gao Xuan was rather humble. He said to Qin Shiyue: "You betrayed well. The world is meant to be like this; human nature is meant to be like this."
He pointed to Yun Qingshang beside him: "She, remaining unchanged for a thousand years, is the true outsider."
Qin Shiyue could only smile bitterly, although Gao Xuan did not intend to mock, his words still made Qin Shiyue feel uncomfortable.
Gao Xuan did understand Qin Shiyue; he comforted: "Indeed, we're all ordinary people. So we make mistakes and surrender to our desires. That's all very normal."
The more Gao Xuan was like this, the worse Qin Shiyue felt.
Only winners could be so composed and graceful; only winners could be so magnanimous; only winners could be so understanding.
The battle hadn't even started, yet Gao Xuan felt he would certainly win?
Qin Shiyue did not like Gao Xuan's attitude at all; he slowly drew the Ten Thousand Worlds Sword and said: "Words are clear, only a duel with swords can determine right from wrong."
Gao Xuan flicked his finger lightly on the Hongyi Sword and said leisurely: "Judging by the sword, you are bound to be wrong."
The sound of the Sword Cry was like the gentle splash of spring water, like a mountain stream passing through rocks, its sound soothing to the heart. The sound had an end, but its meaning was endless.
Qin Shiyue's expression also became solemn; he raised the Ten Thousand Worlds Sword and made a starting gesture: "We've known each other for millennia without a fight, now we finally settle the score."
"One man alone won't do."
Gao Xuan looked at Jin Yuxiu and Imperia: "You better come together."
He pointed at Wood Origin and others: "The ignorant are not guilty; this is a grudge between me and your elders. It's none of your business. Retreat now, and maybe there's still a way to live."
Wood Origin, with a haggard appearance, showed no expression on his face.
Tu Zhengnan couldn't bear it; he raised the Central Wuji Spear towards Gao Xuan and shouted: "You used Illusion Technique to deceive us, what kind of skill is that? This time, don't run away..."
Tu Zhengnan was proud, and while he knew Gao Xuan was formidable, he couldn't resist wanting to try. He said this and poised his spear, ready to strike first.
"Hold on, this Hongyi Sword was forged a thousand years ago, now it seems too rough."
Gao Xuan said: "Give me two minutes to refine it again."
"No way!"
Tu Zhengnan wouldn't give Gao Xuan the chance, with a low shout the Profound Yellow Divine Spear had reached Gao Xuan.
This spear invoked the Power of Thick Earth through the Central Wuji Spear, although the thrust was extremely simple, the momentum was incomparably heavy.
The power of the Profound Yellow Divine Spear had reached the Star-Destroying Level; the spear's point could explode a massive planet like a balloon.
