King of Assassins-Chapter 988 - 681: Paying Respects

Four Tribulation Spirit Immortal, National Preceptor of Wuyuan Country, Tao Jun, the Sect Leader of Yu Jing Dao who has lived for over two thousand years, just stared blankly at Gao Xuan, like a poor person seeing a box full of gold and silver for the first time, or a young man seeing a naked beauty for the first time.

Actually, Tao Jun was only dazed for a moment before he quickly came to his senses. However, for a Spirit Immortal, being in such a daze was a bit embarrassing.

There was no other reason, it was too shocking, too unexpected.

King Jinlin, a Four Tribulation Great Demon, also hailing from the North Sea Dragon Palace. Although a demon, he practiced the Divine Dao Skill. This was completely different from Iron Horn King and those demons.

Divine Beings, although not able to rival the Celestial Court, Western Buddha Country, or the Daoist Sect, are the strongest creatures in the Immortal Realm. The magic techniques they practice can be called Righteous Law.

King Jinlin also had the Dragon Talisman in hand, controlling the Bai Cang River's thousands of miles of water vein, what immense power this was.

Although Tao Jun looked down on this big-headed fish Great Demon, he knew his power. He considered himself absolutely unable to take down this person, and even losing to the opponent was very likely.

Earlier, King Jinlin had made a move, obviously using all his strength. A pair of Nine-Petaled Copper Hammers, top-tier Spiritual Artifacts. When swung, they were overwhelmingly dominant and could operate the Bai Cang River's thousand-mile water vein.

And yet, Gao Xuan killed him with one sword.

Tao Jun watched with eyes wide open on the side, seeing Gao Xuan casually strike with a sword, drifting like flowing clouds, floating like autumn water rippling.

It was such a graceful, dance-like sword, yet it pierced through the vast power of the Bai Cang River's thousand-mile water vein, pierced through the protective golden scales of a Four Tribulation Great Demon, pierced through the North Sea Dragon Palace's Dragon Talisman, and killed King Jinlin, destroying both his form and spirit.

Tao Jun watched with eyes wide open on the side, feeling that this sword was incredibly brilliant and elegant, and yet he could not figure out the changes in this sword.

Nor could he understand how this sword killed King Jinlin.

The most reasonable explanation was that this Sword Artifact was superior, perhaps a true Immortal Sword.

Immortals are divided into four levels: Heaven, Earth, Human, and Spirit, and Magical Artifacts correspond to four levels as well: Spirit, Human, Earth, Heaven.

Just like the Nine-Petaled Copper Hammers, which were obviously a pair of powerful Spiritual Artifacts. That Dragon Talisman, capable of controlling three thousand miles of Bai Cang River, should be an Immortal Artifact.

At this moment, the Immortal Artifact Dragon Talisman from the North Sea Dragon Palace was in Gao Xuan's hand. The Dragon Talisman struggled and transformed, but it could not escape Gao Xuan's hand.

Tao Jun genuinely developed a bit of awe towards Gao Xuan. That sword that killed King Jinlin, he feared he couldn't withstand it either. To forcibly suppress the Dragon Palace Immortal Artifact, that was even more incredible.

Originally, he thought this Celestial Master was too young, thus acting rashly. Now it seems, Gao Xuan wasn't rash, he was strong.

Destroying a Great Demon like killing a chicken, yet his face showed no emotion. Such deep scheming and city mentality also commanded respect.

Gao Xuan did not pay attention to Tao Jun, he was very interested in examining the Dragon Talisman in his hand; this thing was indeed very special.

The Nine-Petaled Copper Hammers were very good Spiritual Artifacts, but what truly could mobilize the power of three thousand miles of the Bai Cang River was the Dragon Talisman.

The Dragon Talisman seemed like it was condensed from the three thousand miles of the Bai Cang River; holding it in his hand, Gao Xuan felt the vast and majestic power of Ren Water.

On the Dragon Talisman, there was the Divine Soul Brand of King Jinlin, and at the core, there was an even more powerful Divine Soul Mark. The second layer divine soul mark bore the obvious aura of the Dragon Race.

Gao Xuan was particularly familiar with the aura of the Dragon Race. Not to mention the Dragon Race he had seen, just his Celestial Dragon Eye itself was a Spiritual Object of the Dragon Race.

Although the cosmos is different and the Laws are different, the power of the Dragon Race is interconnected.

Gao Xuan suspected that all Dragon Races in all heavens and myriad realms shared one ancestor, the same bloodline genes. It's just that in different cosmoses, the specific power of each Dragon Race would vary quite a bit.

Before entering the Immortal Realm, Gao Xuan used a Golden Dragon to upgrade the Celestial Dragon Eye, forcibly elevating the Celestial Dragon Eye to the level of a Divine Artifact.

According to the tier division of the Immortal Realm, the Celestial Dragon Eye, Nether God Claw, and Hongyi Sword, are all powerful Immortal Artifacts.

The only problem is that the Immortal Realm Laws are different, and the three Immortal Artifacts cannot truly exert their power.

Gao Xuan learned the Taiyi Primordial Scripture, only then did he initially master the Law of this realm. The memory fragments left by Iron Horn King gave him two thousand years of cultivation accumulation.

Now, Gao Xuan could convert thirty percent of his own power. The Hongyi Sword and Nether God Claw also recovered thirty percent of their power.

With just this thirty percent power, killing King Jinlin was still a piece of cake.

The Dragon Talisman in front of him, to say its tier might be much lower than the Hongyi Sword, and its level of intricacy far inferior. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

However, through this Dragon Talisman, one could control the Bai Cang River's three thousand miles, a unique divine technique belonging to the Immortal Realm. This was something the Hongyi Sword couldn't do.

Only by breaking the two-layered Divine Soul Mark on the Dragon Talisman can one master the Dragon Talisman.

If it were other Spirit Immortals, they might work themselves to death and still couldn't break the Dragon Race mark. But to Gao Xuan, this wasn't a problem.

The Dragon Soul Mark on the Dragon Talisman seemed weak. However, Gao Xuan did not rush to refine the Dragon Talisman.

Breaking the Dragon Soul Mark would certainly alert that Dragon Race.

Gao Xuan waved his sleeve and collected the two floating Nine-Petaled Bronze Lotus Hammers. He said to National Preceptor Tao Jun: "Please, National Preceptor, handle the aftermath, pacify the people on both banks, and cancel all sacrificial activities."

Tao Jun nodded, this was not difficult. He, a dignified National Preceptor, with tens of thousands of disciples, and the ability to instruct local officials, was very suitable for handling the aftermath.

Gao Xuan glanced at the tens of thousands of immobilized people and said, "Release."

All tens of thousands of immobilized people returned to normal. When they looked at Gao Xuan again, their eyes were filled with awe.

They were immobilized, but they could see and hear. Gao Xuan and King Jinlin clashed on the high platform. Although the crowd did not understand fully, they saw King Jinlin killed.
