King of Assassins-Chapter 992 - 682: Emperor Heaven’s 9 Transformations

Ripples is the manifestation of Sword Intent; her mind is simple. Gao Xuan said to slay demons and exorcise devils, so she did.

As for whether the demon should die, she wouldn't consider it.

Seeing Ripples in a billowing white dress, with sharp and fierce Sword Intent swirling around her, Hu Ji's charming face also showed a slight change.

Hu Ji had heard that at the banquet, Gao Xuan had transformed a young girl from his Sword Intent on the spot. She didn't expect this girl could actually persist in the world and truly transform into a living being.

This shows the prowess of this Celestial Master.

Moreover, the Sword Intent of this young girl in front of her is pure. Although she hadn't made a move, that sharp Sword Intent already pressed directly onto her Divine Soul, giving her immense pressure.

If it really came to a fight, Hu Ji dared not say she could surely defeat this young girl.

Hu Ji didn't come to fight; her humble and submissive approach was also to establish a friendly relationship with Gao Xuan.

She hurriedly waved her hand and said, "Hold your hand, I have important matters to discuss with the Celestial Master."

Ripples hesitated for a moment but restrained her Sword Intent. The other party indeed didn't seem to be here to cause trouble, so she chose not to act on her own.

Arriving at the door of Gao Xuan's retreat chamber, Ripples gently knocked on the door and said, "Master, a great demon Hu Ji has come, saying she wishes to see you."

"I know."

Gao Xuan in the chamber opened his eyes; he had already sensed Hu Ji's presence. This demon creature wasn't worth much courtesy from him.

Gao Xuan reached out and flicked the Hongyi Sword floating in front of him, putting this Divine Sword away.

After several days of sacrifice, he had already refined the Essence of Ren Water.

The Power contained within the Essence of Ren Water wasn't too strong; the key was the part of the Ren Water Law contained in the Essence.

Absorbing this part of the Law, the Hongyi Sword further resonated with the Laws of the Cyan Celestial Realm. Originally, it could only exert three parts of its power; now, it could exert six parts.

This enhancement was huge. Together with the Water Heaven Sword, Gao Xuan's combat power saw a leap in improvement.

Moreover, after refining the Essence of Ren Water, Gao Xuan also mastered the Bai Cang River.

Even without the Dragon Talisman, Gao Xuan could control the Bai Cang River merely with the Hongyi Sword.

Causing the river to flood, altering a watercourse, was all too easy for Gao Xuan.

His control over Bai Cang River had already far surpassed King Jinlin.

Though King Jinlin was a Four Tribulation Great Demon, naturally attuned to water, he relied on the power of the Dragon Talisman to control Bai Cang River.

With his own abilities, he could at most stir the Bai Cang River's water vein for a fight.

The Dragon Talisman could mobilize Bai Cang River because of the Power of Laws contained within the Immortal Artifact. Mastering the Laws meant mastering the authority.

The three thousand miles long Bai Cang River was indeed a major river.

However, Gao Xuan didn't pay attention to the water vein power of Bai Cang River; he cared about mastering the Law Power of Bai Cang River.

Comprehending the Law Power was the way to master the Immortal Realm. As for Bai Cang River itself, it was actually insignificant. At least for him, it was so.

Just as well, Hu Ji had come; Gao Xuan could meet her and see what this great demon had to say.

After consecutively slaying two great demons, the Demon-slaying Order had already gained a few more shades of white light. Its Power had greatly increased.

Of course, it was useless against a Four Tribulation Great Demon like Hu Ji.

If it were an ordinary Little Demon, pointing the Demon-slaying Order at them would cause the Little Demon to vanish both in body and soul, turning to ash on the spot.

To trigger the various Divine Techniques of the Demon-slaying Order, at least ten such great demons as King Jinlin needed to be slain.

Slaying an additional Hu Ji would be of no significant use.

Furthermore, Gao Xuan had heard of Hu Ji's situation. By human standards, she could be considered quite a wanton woman. But by demon standards, she could be called quite a well-behaved great demon.

After all, she didn't eat people or cause chaos; she merely indulged in a debauched, luxurious lifestyle, relying on her beauty. This was simply representative of a good demon.

Seeing Gao Xuan enter the hall from a side door, Hu Ji hurriedly took a few steps forward, bowing deeply in a gesture of homage. She lowered her head, with her eyes downcast, looking respectful and submissive, "Qingqiu Hu Ji pays respects to the Celestial Master."

Gao Xuan sat down and waved a sleeve: "The Empress need not be courteous, please sit."

Hu Ji gracefully moved to sit respectfully beneath Gao Xuan. Only then did she cautiously lift her eyes to look at Gao Xuan.

But with just one glance, Hu Ji felt slightly dizzy.

After crossing the tribulation to take a human form, she loved the most beautiful men in the world. Her position as Empress was also a guise for borrowing the Emperor's power to gather handsome men.

For a demon to be a mountain king, looting and plundering all around was indeed a thrill, but overly vulgar. Besides, living in a cave was too uncomfortable. How could it compare to the comfort of the luxurious life in the Imperial Palace?

Moreover, the Emperor wielded enormous power. With the backing of imperial power, all it took was a word to get whatever one wished. Why bother looting personally?

Hu Ji thus continued living in the Imperial Palace; regardless of who was Emperor, a little technique was all it took to enthrall him.

Living in the Imperial Palace was lavishly comfortable; everything she wished for was within reach. She had no interest in the disputes between demons and cultivators.

If it weren't for Iron Horn and Jinlin being successively slain, she wouldn't have proactively come to see Gao Xuan.

Hu Ji had also heard of Gao Xuan's divine coolness and radiance, bright as the moon, his demeanor and grace unmatched in the world.

She took it as true; it was normal for someone like Tao Jun to praise Gao Xuan for being such a prominent Celestial Master.

Upon seeing Gao Xuan in person, Hu Ji realized the rumors weren't false. The rumors were even slightly underplayed.

Especially, the serene aura emanating from Gao Xuan, pure and flawless, perfect inside and out, made one feel at ease upon sight, unable to resist wanting to get close.

Such grace and demeanor of Gao Xuan, probably not even any Daluo Golden Immortal above the Nine Heavens could compare!

Hu Ji was indeed a demon greedy for beauty; with just one glance at Gao Xuan, she was enamored.

Luckily, she had lived for over two thousand years and ultimately had brains.
