King of Assassins

Golden Bay, white sandy beach, dazzling sun.

Helen in a bikini swimsuit, lying on a recliner, petting a pure white short-haired cat, beautiful blue eyes. And it looks kind of silly and cute.

This cat is from a distant Star Realm, with intelligence comparable to a child of seven or eight years old. And it's very gentle.

And it has a unique advantage that other cat species don't have, loyalty.

Once this type of cat likes someone, it won't like anyone else. Very people-oriented. This trait also makes it the most expensive cat in the Alliance.

This fluffy short-haired cat costs more than ten million.

Xiao Wan, getting tired of Helen tormenting her every day, got her a short-haired cat. Once these kittens identify their human, they become particularly clingy.

Helen treated the new pet cat like a treasure. For this cat, she would even skip going into the sea to play in the water.

On the other side, Xiao Wan was restless. She kept looking up at the sky and frequently opened her Personal Light Computer to check for information.

Gao Xuan had been gone for more than half an hour, and she did not know how things were going.

Actually, Xiao Wan hadn't dared to do this behind her family's back, and her communication with Gao Xuan was tacitly approved by them.

It was too risky for Gao Xuan to openly participate in the competition. Since Gao Xuan wanted to give it a try himself, there was no problem with that.

In fact, the Xiao Family was closely monitoring the moves of the Lin and Wang families.

Xiao Wan, anxious without a reply, was really worried that something might happen to Gao Xuan.

Publicly challenging and intercepting the convoy to challenge the Golden Sword Saint, it was insane!

Xiao Wan couldn't really understand where Gao Xuan got his confidence from. But Gao Xuan just went for it.

The more Xiao Wan thought, the more uneasy she felt. Seeing Helen happily petting the cat, she felt even more annoyed.

What's the use of this woman besides being pretty! Oh, and squandering and acting spoiled!

However, Helen was indeed beautiful. Pretty face, nice figure, good skin, hands, and feet…

No matter how beautiful a woman is, she has her imperfections. Either ugly ears, a short neck, a wide frame, bad leg-to-body ratio, or unattractive feet.

Xiao Wan intended to find some flaws in Helen, but with her critical eye, she couldn't find any; Helen was just beautiful all around.

Xiao Wan sighed internally, men were superficial, Gao Xuan was no exception. As long as a woman looked good, nothing else mattered!

But how useful is beauty?

In a crucial moment, wouldn't she still have to risk everything to help? This beautiful woman would just be playing around.

As Xiao Wan felt indignant, she saw a silver streak crossing the sea, flashing as it landed before her.

The silver armor on Gao Xuan's body silently dissolved, turning into spots of light that dissipated. The long silver light streak dragging behind him also slowly dispersed in the air.

The silver light streak was the Source Power fluctuation caused by the Celestial Spirit Sword Qi, which Gao Xuan did intentionally.

There was no other reason; it just looked impressive flying that way.

Gao Xuan wiped nonexistent sweat off his forehead and casually lay down on the recliner, loudly ordering, "A glass of ice-cold soda, please."

He was wearing a casual beach outfit, barefoot. He looked just like a tourist who had just gone for a swim.

Seeing Gao Xuan return, Helen hurried over to hug him, "Where did you go? Just now, Little Furry licked me. It seemed to have bad breath. Should we take it to the vet…"

"No need for a vet, just needs to brush teeth more."

"What brand of toothpaste should Little Furry use?"

Xiao Wan's face darkened a bit, what kind of conversation were these two having, seriously discussing this?

She couldn't hold back, "Gao Xuan, what the hell happened?"

Gao Xuan kissed Helen, then turned to Xiao Wan, "I killed Shao Daoyuan, is that okay? Can our family handle it?"

Xiao Wan was shocked: "Say that again?"

"Hahaha…"

Gao Xuan laughed, "Sister Wan, I love your straightforwardness and lack of tact."

Xiao Wan was too busy to mind Gao Xuan's teasing, "Cut the crap, just tell me quickly."

"Didn't I say, I took care of Shao Daoyuan."

Gao Xuan shook his head, "His swordsmanship is just terrible, can't fathom how he attained Gold status. Tsk tsk… downright disgrace to gold!"

Xiao Wan was utterly shocked, "Really killed him?"

Gao Xuan didn't want to explain more, "Why don't you check the news?"

"Shao Daoyuan, the name seems familiar?"

Helen, not yet understanding what happened, was murmuring, "Why did you kill him, Xuan, don't just kill people randomly, it's not good."

Before she finished speaking, she suddenly remembered Shao Daoyuan's identity, and exclaimed: "Purple Light Sword Saint Shao Daoyuan?!"

"Yeah, that Purple Light Sword, foolishly just releasing thunder."

Gao Xuan explained, "I didn't intend to kill him, the guy actually coveted my good looks. Unbearable."

"Shao Daoyuan was shameless, well killed."

Helen hugged Gao Xuan and fervently kissed his cheeks, "Darling, you're too amazing, even taking down a Golden Sword Saint easily. The man I chose is indeed invincible!"

The admiration and affection in Helen's eyes were so exaggerated even Xiao Wan found it a bit over the top.

It's just killing a Golden Sword Saint, is it that big of a deal?

Xiao Wan was still half convinced, her conviction was based on her trust in Gao Xuan. Her doubt stemmed from her trust in the supreme force represented by the Golden Sword Saints over the years.

She quickly contacted Xiao Cheng: "Dad, Gao Xuan says he killed Shao Daoyuan."

Xiao Cheng was silent for a while before replying: "Investigation ongoing; fierce battle occurred at the scene. Just can't confirm results yet."

While Gao Xuan went to find Shao Daoyuan, the Xiao Family couldn't provide direct assistance, but of course, they monitored closely. The monitoring was of the highest level.

When Gao Xuan drew his sword to battle Shao Daoyuan, Xiao Jun was watching the live stream through drones and surveillance satellites.

Shao Daoyuan's Thunder Light Realm blocked all observations.

No one knew the outcome, but seeing Gao Xuan, they were almost certain Gao Xuan had won.

However, this certainty needed further evidence for confirmation.

After Gao Xuan left, all parties were desperately searching the site, wanting to find Shao Daoyuan's body.

Just as Xiao Cheng was on the phone with Xiao Wan, frontline reported they had found Shao Daoyuan's body.

The live feed also transmitted the details of Shao Daoyuan's body back.

Seeing the body split in two, Xiao Jun was silent.

The other Xiao Family executives were all silent as well.

Although they had anticipated it, seeing the Golden Sword Saint Shao Daoyuan die so miserably was still shocking.

This was a Golden Sword Saint, just chopped by Gao Xuan with one strike!

Everyone had complex feelings, fully aware that Gao Xuan had potential, a bright future.

Now, Gao Xuan was not just potential; he was a dragon soaring in the sky, unstoppable!

Xiao Cheng and others were pale; they were contemplating how to control Gao Xuan and appease Hercules.

Fortunately, very fortunately, Xiao Jun didn't agree.

Xiao Jun was quite relieved, mainly because he was repulsed by Hercules and didn't trust him. Sacrificing Gao Xuan to please Hercules seemed unworthy to him.

Since choosing Gao Xuan, it was natural to go all the way. So, they just gifted a villa to Gao Xuan. Additionally, it was partly to annoy Hercules.

He never expected Gao Xuan to give him such a big surprise!

Gao Xuan's slaying Shao Daoyuan not only proved his absolute strength but also showed that he was uncontrollable on Taurus.

Uncontrollable power is extremely terrifying.

The Lin and Wang families must be terribly regretful now. They could still hire another Golden Sword Saint.

But the situation had changed completely.

Not to mention if another Golden Sword Saint would dare take the risk. What about if Gao Xuan turned on them?

The Lin and Wang families' foundations were all on Taurus, they couldn't just leave everything and run.

Their struggle with the Xiao Family was for more benefits, not a fight to the death!

Gao Xuan's victory in this battle was decisive.

If the Lin and Wang families have any sense, they'll inevitably abandon the so-called sword competition.

The risk was too high, with too many uncontrollable factors.

It's fine to seek benefits but not at the risk of everything!

Xiao Jun said to Xiao Cheng, "Leave the rest to us, tell Xiao Wan to take good care of them."

Xiao Wan received the order, feeling quite complicated.

She adjusted her mood for a while before managing a proper expression, "Ice-cold soda, was it? Coming right up."

She smiled at Helen, "Helen, what would you like to drink…"
