King of Assassins

Chapter 283 Self-Motivation



The Script, a Golden Level Marvel. It is a powerful marvel passed down from the Odin lineage.

By writing down an opponent's name in the script, one can know the opponent's actions through the script's content. The maximum duration is only ten days.

The specific duration, however, depends on the protagonist's individual power level.

Talos had fought with Gao Xuan and had a deep fate connection. By writing Gao Xuan's name, the script was bound to lock onto him.

The script's criteria for judging characters actually stem from the writer's spiritual power.

Doris read a page of the script and saw a lot of xxx, feeling puzzled, "What does this xx mean?"

Talos was slightly embarrassed: "It might involve higher energy level secrets, which the script cannot decipher. It can only present as xxx."

"There are too many xxx..."

Doris was speechless, as the censored text obscured the most crucial parts.

Talos sighed: "If I had the Pen of Destiny, I could write a script for Gao Xuan to send him straight to death."

The Pen of Destiny and the script are a set of marvels. Together, they have miraculous effects.

Unfortunately, the Pen of Destiny was lost long ago.

Now the script can only act as a monitor, but even so, it is very useful.

Because the script needs no contact, it directly displays the opponent's actions. Even a golden powerhouse would find it hard to detect abnormalities.

The script has an implicit connection between protagonists; through the script, one can definitely find the protagonist.

However, the script has significant limitations. It can only be used on intelligent lifeforms and must have a relevant connection with the writer.

Moreover, a person can only be a protagonist once.

This means the script can only monitor Gao Xuan for ten days.

Talos said: "Finding Gao Xuan within ten days will complete our mission."

Talos never thought of solving the lizard people's problem.

Powerhouses like Hercules have been troubled for decades, indicating deep-rooted issues. How could he have the capability to sweep away the lizardmen?

Eliminating Gao Xuan, solving the competition, then he is the winner!

In the following days, under the guidance of the script, Talos constantly approached Gao Xuan.

But Gao Xuan's whereabouts were elusive, and the distance between them was far. Talos pursued for three days without even catching a glimpse of Gao Xuan's shadow.

"Gao Xuan arrived beside an underground long river. He entered a lizardman camp near the river and began fighting. The lizardmen crumbled at the first touch, xxxxxxx... Gao Xuan smiled in front of the collapsed statue..."

"Gao Xuan infiltrated a lizardman camp. He began fighting. xxxxxx... Gao Xuan smiled joyously in front of the collapsed statue..."

The script was densely packed with the same content, almost identical.

It was just Gao Xuan attacking the lizardman tribe ruthlessly, and then smiling in front of the collapsed statue.

The script couldn't possibly detail every single action of Gao Xuan. It could only highlight the most important content.

Gao Xuan was almost relentless day and night, searching for lizardman tribes to massacre.

In these few days, Gao Xuan wiped out one hundred seventy-three lizardman tribes.

Talos was monitoring Gao Xuan precisely.

Talos almost thought the script was malfunctioning, as the written content seemed like copy-pasting and unworthy of the name golden marvel.

"Gao Xuan arrived deep in a huge pit and infiltrated the lizardman tribe..."

Talos saw this and suddenly perked up. Beneath them was a gigantic pit tens of kilometers in diameter. Looking down from above, one could faintly see a lake at the bottom of the pit.

According to the script's perception, the distance between him and Gao Xuan was not far. The straight-line distance was no more than two hundred kilometers.

If not mistaken, Gao Xuan was at the bottom of the pit.

The underworld environment is complex, and such a massive pit is extremely rare. Geologically speaking, it could be considered a spectacle.

Regrettably, the pit bottom was too far away. There was mist drifting in the pit, rendering optical instruments ineffective.

Having locked onto Gao Xuan's position, Talos decided not to reconnoiter any further. He led his team to accelerate forward.

Silver Sword Heroes, armed with biochemical battle armor, could directly control Source Power to fly. At their speed, they could reach the pit bottom in ten minutes and block Gao Xuan.

Talos, wielding the Thunder God Sword, led the charge.

However, the mist floating in the air was a nuisance. Seemingly thin, it could block perception and spiritual sensing.

This mist was endless, thick, and dense like water.

Talos and his team felt the mist was eerie, definitely not naturally formed. The group could only slow down.

After flying for several minutes, a gust of wind suddenly blew through, dispersing the mist.

The lake below, and the lizardmen's makeshift tents, became clearly visible.

Talos rejoiced and urgently led his team in accelerating downwards. The group had already drawn their swords, ready for battle.

The terrifying aspect of Gao Xuan's swordsmanship was known to Talos, who had been defeated by Gao Xuan himself. No one dared to be careless.

When they were three hundred meters from the lake surface, everyone slowed down their flying speed.

From this distance, they could clearly see the ground littered with lizard corpses and the colossal shattered statue collapsed at the center of the camp.

The entire camp was eerily silent, with only the strong scent of blood lingering in the air.

Without a doubt, the battle had already ended.

Everyone looked towards Talos, who took out the script and glanced at it, reading: Gao Xuan severed the statue and left with a smile...

Talos felt like cursing. He put away the script and tried to remain composed, saying, "Search the scene."

Eight Silver Sword Heroes formed four pairs to search the camp in all directions.

Talos led Doris to the central altar of the camp.

The black stone-piled altar towered over twenty meters high, and the statue was over ten meters tall.

Now, the altar had collapsed and the statue shattered. Around the altar on the open ground lay at least several thousand corpses.

Especially at the front of the altar, the dead were mostly severely damaged. It was clear that the battle had been intense.

Talos thought for a moment, deciding it wasn't right to call it a fierce battle; it should be called a fierce resistance.

In the face of Gao Xuan, this primitive race had almost no power to resist.

Nevertheless, the sight of thousands of lizardmen corpses strewn about was a bloody spectacle. Quite stimulating.

Talos stared in silence at the statue, puzzled over why Gao Xuan would smile at it. What was funny?

Is Gao Xuan a madman? That wasn't surprising. As Gao Xuan made his way here, whenever he fought someone, it was either injury or death, and his methods were extremely ruthless.

In the Battle of Purple Dragon Star, it was unknown how many people he killed. Lan Chang'an, just for offending him, was killed directly in his own base. The elite of the Lan Family were severely weakened.

Talos had read Gao Xuan's dossier and knew he was a fierce individual, no matter how handsome he looked or how bright his smile!

Unfortunately, there are too many idiots in this world who judge by appearance. Including Helen.

Talos never underestimated Gao Xuan; on the contrary, he always took Gao Xuan very seriously, treating him as a life-long adversary.

Especially after being defeated by Gao Xuan in a fair duel, Talos had become exceedingly apprehensive of him.

This time, he mobilized all forces, determined to kill Gao Xuan on Sea Dragon Star.

Talos thought he understood Gao Xuan, yet he couldn't fathom Gao Xuan's thoughts.

Even if Gao Xuan enjoyed killing, why smile at corpses? What was the deal with smiling at a collapsed statue?

Could it be that some treasure was hidden in the collapsed statue?

Doris returned, saying to Talos, "All the lizardmen were killed in one blow. The broken bodies were shattered by the lizardmen themselves..."

One could imagine the scene: lizardmen masters attacking furiously, yet Gao Xuan moved elegantly and unrestrained, killing instantly. The lizardmen masters' attacks only harmed their own kind, making the scene appear so tragic.

Soon the other members returned. Everyone wore grim expressions.

The camp was filled with corpses, not a single living one left. On their bodies were powerful biochemical battle armors, internally equipped with Light Computers.

Though external interference was strong, with the shielding of biochemical armor, the internal Light Computers operated normally.

They made a round and had tallied a more reliable figure.

After summarizing the data, Doris said to Talos, "He killed a total of over one hundred seventeen thousand lizardmen here."

Talos sighed: "From the script's writing to our arrival at the camp, only thirteen minutes..."

Everyone remained silent. Killing wasn't terrifying, but to slaughter a hundred thousand without hesitation, even if they were aliens, such ruthlessness from Gao Xuan was terrifying.

Even more frightening was Gao Xuan's swordsmanship. Tens of thousands of lizardmen were all slain with a single strike each.

From start to finish, without any mistakes.

Although they hadn't cornered Gao Xuan, at this point, everyone's hearts actually felt a relief. Of course, on the surface, none showed any fear or dejection.

Doris suddenly said, "Over the past few days, Gao Xuan has wiped out a total of one hundred thirty-seven lizardman tribes, killing one or two million on average..."

Everyone fell into deeper silence, a heaviness settling in their hearts.

Talos's eyes grew even darker. He could sense the team members' dejection and fear, even he himself felt a trace of fear.

The records in the script were just numbers, even lacking direct figures. Merely plain text descriptions.

Yet the scene's countless corpses made the written records abruptly real.

A foe like Gao Xuan was utterly terrifying!

Talos could imagine that confronting such a person would leave no room for compromise.

However, this path had no retreat from the start. To gain power and wealth, and gain strength, one must forge ahead fearlessly and use any means necessary.

He had the Thunder God Sword, the script, the Nibelungen Ring. Plus a team of nine powerful Silver Sword Heroes. They would not lose!

Talos knew this couldn't continue; he had to do something. He raised his left hand and loudly declared, "In Odin we trust, we shall prevail!"

The Nibelungen Ring shone with a wondrous spiritual light, invigorating all the team members. As followers of the Odin Clan, they certainly recognized this marvel.

Everyone raised their left hands with him, shouting loudly, "In Odin we trust, we shall prevail!"
