King of Assassins

"Black Water Lake, Gao Xuan stood outside the Lizardmen's camp, lost in thought…"

Talos waited for a while, but no other text appeared on the script, which surprised him a bit.

According to past experiences, Gao Xuan should have started a slaughter with his sword by now. Why was there no movement this time?

Talos found it a bit strange, but Gao Xuan had finally stopped moving. This was an opportunity.

They had been following Gao Xuan for seven days. Because they were very close this time, they could always enter the scene after Gao Xuan's carnage.

In the past few days, they had seen countless Lizardmen corpses. After seeing so much, the group had become accustomed to it.

However, the data counted by the Biochemical Battle Armor told them that Gao Xuan had killed at least a million Lizardmen in these days.

The problem was that Gao Xuan had been killing all the way through without using any highly powerful weapons. These numbers were achieved one sword at a time.

This was simply amazing. People found it hard to understand how much Gao Xuan hated the Alien Race.

At Gao Xuan's efficiency, it would take less than a month for Lizardmen to become an endangered species.

While the team members were relaxed enough to enjoy the spectacle, Talos was very anxious. The script's time was going to run out in two days.

The Underworld's environment was too complicated. If they couldn't find Gao Xuan, they'd never get another chance.

Luckily, luckily, for some inexplicable reason, Gao Xuan suddenly stopped.

Talos was delighted and quickly led the team forward at high speed.

They had actually been following right behind Gao Xuan all along, but Gao Xuan moved so quickly and his whereabouts were unpredictable. They kept chasing but could never catch up to Gao Xuan.

With this opportunity, the entire team was very excited.

The group harnessed Source Power to speed through the Underworld, racing out at high speed through narrow and rugged underground tunnels.

Seventeen minutes later, the group all saw Black Water Lake and Gao Xuan standing by the lake. They also saw the massive Lizardman camp on the opposite shore.

Talos thought describing it as a camp was inaccurate; it was more like a Lizardman city.

The Lizardmen had actually built high walls underground, and there were various modern heavy weapons on the walls.

Above the city walls, there was also a huge translucent shield covering the city.

If not for the Lizardman warriors on the walls, Talos would almost have thought it was a city built by humans.

Judging by the scale of the city walls, it must at least hold hundreds of thousands of Lizardmen. Perhaps even more.

Talos also understood Gao Xuan. Having such a modern Lizardman city underground was very illogical.

The Lizardmen they had encountered along the way clearly seemed to be in a very primitive and backward societal stage.

Such a modern city far exceeded the Lizardmen's level of knowledge and societal level. This was too strange.

Talos's team members also found it very strange. However, they still carefully surrounded Gao Xuan.

Gao Xuan turned to Talos and said, "You've come."

Faced with Gao Xuan's casual greeting, Talos was very serious, and he responded solemnly, "I've come."

"This is the Lizardmen's main city. It is called Black Water City!"

Gao Xuan said leisurely, "Lizardmen priests boasted about Black Water City to me, I didn't believe them at the time. Now it seems they weren't exaggerating too much."

He pointed to the translucent shield above Black Water City and said, "Can you believe it, a Lizardman city actually has an electromagnetic force field shield."

Talos frowned slightly and said, "There should be collusion between humans and Lizardmen, providing the Lizardmen with technology and equipment."

"Why do you think the Lizardmen built a city here? And used an electromagnetic force field shield; what are they defending against?" Gao Xuan asked.

Talos sneered, "Does it matter?"

Gao Xuan sighed, "Talos, you are the descendant of the Golden Bloodline. Do you know why Odin is called the Golden Bloodline?"

Talos remained silent.

"There are many human Golden Powerhouses, but only twelve Golden Bloodlines. That's because these twelve powerhouses expanded human territory, laying the foundation for humanity's status as Galactic Overlords."

Gao Xuan said, "The great achievements of the predecessors are certainly worthy of admiration. But even more deserving of respect is the fact that these twelve predecessors had the whole race in their hearts, spoke of righteousness, understood the big picture, and considered the greater good. This is why there is an Alliance, which led to the present prosperity of humanity…"

A hint of guilt flashed in Talos's eyes, but then they became exceptionally firm.

"No need for empty words. Between you and me, only one can live."

Gao Xuan shook his head, "Between us, it's personal vendetta. The Lizardmen, however, are humanity's great enemy. With a massive foe in front of us, we can settle our personal grievances later."

He said seriously, "I'll go to Black Water City and have a good fight first. Once I've dealt with Black Water City, we can settle our matters."

Gao Xuan smiled, "If I die in Black Water City, you'll save yourself the trouble."

"You are devious, I will never trust you."

Talos said resolutely, "No need for more words, die."

Before he finished speaking, the crowd moved together to strike at Gao Xuan with their swords.

During the conversation between Gao Xuan and Talos, the group had already taken their positions.

They formed an Order Battle Array, a Secret Technique passed down from the Odin Family.

Through orderly positioning and a special spiritual connection, their formation could gather everyone's combat power.

At the founding of the Alliance, the Order Battle Array made distinguished war contributions.

Now, the Order Battle Array can only be controlled by the Odin bloodline.

Talos has been relentlessly pursuing Gao Xuan for so long because he is confident he can slay him.

The core of the Order Battle Array lies in the Nibelungen Ring.

Once the battle array is formed, the Nibelungen Ring in Talos's hand shines with a mysterious light.

The consciousness of the ten people connects, as does the Source Power.

No matter who makes a move, they can mobilize the power of the entire group. This kind of connection is extremely mysterious and remains unaffected within the Nibelungen Domain.

This means everyone can attack freely without being hindered by companions. Due to the consciousness link, they are like one person. Coordination is seamless.

The collective consciousness expands their Spiritual Power. This immense power fills everyone with unyielding fighting spirit and immense confidence.

As the leader, Talos naturally swings his sword first.

The Thunder God Sword, under his activation, shines with intense thunder light, fiercely cutting towards Gao Xuan.

Gao Xuan's Hongyi Sword turns in his hand, its bright and clear sword light rippling, causing the fierce thunder light to deviate.

The Thunder God Sword, most fiery and domineering, struck with Talos's full power and the combined force of the group, is naturally formidable.

Once brushed aside by the clear sword light, Talos can hardly control the sword light.

The uncontrolled long thunderlight extends thousands of meters away, crashing directly onto Black Water City's electromagnetic shield.

The thunderlight is absorbed by the shield, causing no substantial damage.

However, such a fierce and violent strike has alerted the powerhouses within Black Water City.

A deep and somber voice shouted, "You dare to come!"

Before the words fell, a giant figure wearing full Black Dragon Scale Armor appeared in front of Gao Xuan and his group.

This figure stands more than three meters tall, holding a massive black sword. The tight black scale armor encases him securely, only showing two eyes glowing red behind the face armor.

Facing those crimson eyes, Talos felt a sudden tightness in his chest. He was shocked; this figure must be the Dragon God worshipped by the Lizardmen. It was already imbued with a degree of divinity.

The powerful Spiritual Power crushed everyone.

Even though there are Source Power limitations on Sea Dragon Star, the opponent's divinity allows them to draw power a hundredfold more efficiently. The same power made them unqualified to fight against the opponent.

Talos did not hesitate to issue a retreat order, rapidly fleeing with his people.

Gao Xuan didn't block them. He pointed his Hongyi Sword at the Dragon God: "You quickly run back to report, I'll hold this guy off!"

"Trying to run?"

The Dragon God sneered, its massive body instantly fading. When it reappeared, it was already above Doris's head.

Doris sensed something was wrong, but it was already a bit late. The Dragon God swung its sword to slash down.

Doris tried to resist by gathering collective power, crossing her dual swords, but they were immediately broken, and her entire body was sliced into two by the massive sword.

The Dragon God's massive sword, weighing two to three hundred kilograms, shattered Doris's bifurcated body into countless pieces under its terrifying kinetic impact. It was a tragic death.

Talos was both shocked and grieved; Doris had lived with him since childhood, both as a nanny and a sister. She was arguably his closest kin.

Yet, she met a brutal death here. Even with the Nibelungen Ring, her soul might not be saved. It was all Gao Xuan's doing, telling them to flee first to report, truly insidious!

But Talos dared not look back, as this Dragon God was too powerful. To engage it meant certain death.

While Talos was thinking, the Dragon God had already appeared above him. The sword in the Dragon God's hand followed, ready to strike down.

With no way out, Talos could only raise the Thunder God Sword to block.

The Thunder God Sword, activated with the collective strength, emitted an exceptionally intense thunderlight.

The enormous Dragon God was blasted away by the thunderlight.

Talos was also knocked back by the violent force, plunging headfirst into Black Water Lake, raising huge waves.

The team members following Talos hurriedly went to rescue him.

As long as Talos was there, they could still rely on the Nibelungen Ring to confront the Dragon God.

Splitting up and fleeing would leave them no chance against the dragon god capable of Spatial Teleportation.

The Dragon God, who was blasted away by the Thunder God Sword, wasn't comfortable either. The fierce Thunder Skill highly restrained divine power. Its spirit suffered damage.

The scale armor on its body shattered extensively, exposing the pitch-black body beneath.

The Thunder God Sword, as a clan legacy sword artifact of the Odin Family, is incredibly powerful. The Dragon God, being careless, got injured by it.

The Dragon God was furiously enraged, daring to harm it. The Dragon God instantly used teleportation, chasing after Talos to kill him.

One sword strike downed yet another of Talos's companions.

Talos and his group had no choice but to grit their teeth and resist.

The Dragon God, having slain two, vented its anger. It raised the massive sword, pointing at Talos, "Ignorant humans, dare to challenge the god!"

The enormously heavy black sword, with unparalleled majestic momentum, came slashing down, yet under divine guidance, it was also exceedingly light and swift.

Confronted with the heavy sword's point, Talos had no strength to dodge, forced to lift his sword to defend.

The thunderlight flashed again, but the Dragon God remained unmoved. Talos stood unyieldingly, but those beside him exploded into fragments.

Before Talos could speak, he heard Gao Xuan shouting from afar, "Brother, run fast, don't worry about me!"

Hearing these words, Talos could no longer control the turbulent power within, spraying a mouthful of blood onto the transparent face shield.
