King of Assassins

No matter how agile and changeable the Five-Ring Saber was, once it was locked by Gao Xuan's five fingers, it was like Sun Monkey being pressed under the Five Finger Mountain, unable to perform any tricks.

Even the six wheels hovering behind Liu Sheng Wu Jian's head were instantly suppressed by Gao Xuan's unmatched power. The six wheels came to a halt together, their light flickering as if they might collapse at any moment.

Even Liu Sheng Wu Jian knew he was doomed, for he would surely die when Gao Xuan's punch landed.

Yet Liu Sheng Wu Jian, with an unyielding spirit, resisted with all his might despite knowing certain death awaited, refusing to give up.

In the face of a deadly predicament, Liu Sheng Wu Jian's tenacity was moving.

Gao Xuan somewhat admired this martial artist. Besides being a bit old, ugly, weak, bad, and devious, he was a very qualified martial artist.

To kill the opponent directly was also a form of respect for the Martial Dao and for the martial artist.

As Gao Xuan's punch was about to end Liu Sheng Wu Jian, he suddenly felt a premonition.

Zuo Bubei on the high platform pressed his right palm down from a distance of more than a hundred steps. Originally, this virtual palm should not pose any threat.

However, the gigantic Ten Directions Buddha behind Zuo Bubei also extended his massive palm to press down. The huge golden Buddha palm enveloped Gao Xuan like a golden mountain falling from the sky.

The golden Buddha palm was not only enormous but also carried a majestic divine power that subdued everything.

Zuo Bubei's Tathagata Divine Palm was based on the Ten Directions Buddha.

What are the Ten Directions: up and down, front and back, left and right, past, present, future, life, and death.

The Ten Directions Buddha can control the Ten Directions, which implies an extraordinary and vast divine power. Activating the Tathagata Divine Palm with the Ten Directions Buddha as the foundation grants the power to subdue the Ten Directions.

Though Zuo Bubei was far from Gao Xuan, the Ten Directions Buddha condensed by his Martial Arts Divine Intent could easily cross the space. When the palm descended, Gao Xuan felt the surrounding space crushed by the giant palm of the Ten Directions Buddha.

This was not just a mental perception of power but a direct reflection on the reality level.

When the giant palm of the Ten Directions Buddha fell, the ground within a radius of over ten feet suddenly sank. Members of the Yun Country delegation within this range had no time to react before being crushed into a bloody pulp by the unparalleled palm force.

More than half of the Yun Country delegation died instantly. The remaining people watched helplessly, unable to evade. At this moment, no one cared about their lives or deaths.

Only Gao Xuan and Liu Sheng Wu Jian could withstand the pressure of the palm force. But once the golden giant palm truly descended, the defenseless Liu Sheng Wu Jian would probably be pressed to death by Zuo Bubei in an instant.

Gao Xuan was surprised by the power of the Ten Directions Buddha. Such a Dharma Aspect condensed by Martial Arts Divine Intent could indeed interfere with reality and wield endless might.

Something was amiss with Zuo Bubei's Dharma Aspect. It was not a simple Dharma Aspect; it must have fused with some Divine Artifact to possess such power.

However, Gao Xuan was not afraid. What a joke, his Thirteen Grand Protectors' Cross Training had reached the stage of the Blood-Born God, with every drop of blood hidden with boundless power.

The Ten Directions Buddha Golden Body was formidable, but to kill him with just one palm strike was a bit too ambitious.

Zuo Bubei attacked to save Liu Sheng Wu Jian. It seemed these two realized the situation was dire, so the enemy of an enemy became their friend.

This time, Liu Sheng Wu Jian escaped. The alliance of the three great Martial Gods was not easy to deal with. To be fair, the Five-Ring Saber was still somewhat threatening to him.

Regardless of the giant palm of the Ten Directions Buddha overhead, Gao Xuan decided to eliminate Liu Sheng Wu Jian first.

Yet, being suppressed by the Ten Directions Palm Force, his movements were a beat slower. Although Liu Sheng Wu Jian was also suppressed by the Ten Directions Palm Force, the impact was limited.

Because all of Zuo Bubei's Martial Arts Divine Intent was focused on Gao Xuan. Liu Sheng Wu Jian attempted to escape amidst the chaos, but Gao Xuan let out a low shout, and his surrounding power surged, forcibly shattering the Time-Space sealed by the Ten Directions Palm Force.

Gao Xuan's right fist once again blasted towards Liu Sheng Wu Jian. Liu Sheng Wu Jian could retreat now, but he refused to let go of the Five-Ring Saber.

Without the Five-Ring Saber, dodging Gao Xuan's punch was meaningless. In this battle, losing the Five-Ring Saber meant certain death.

Liu Sheng Wu Jian took advantage of Gao Xuan's distraction with the Ten Directions Palm Force. In his hand, the Five-Ring Saber transformed into a streak of light, slipping from Gao Xuan's fingertips.

Gao Xuan didn't contest the saber with Liu Sheng Wu Jian. He only needed to punch Liu Sheng Wu Jian to death to end the fight.

At the moment Liu Sheng Wu Jian was about to be struck, a Tai Chi Light Wheel, black and white intertwined, appeared in front of Gao Xuan.

Gao Xuan's punch went through, but the Tai Chi Yin Yang Sun Wheel twisted and shattered, and Liu Sheng Wu Jian was nowhere to be seen.

Subsequently, the golden giant palm of the Ten Directions Buddha fell, pressing directly on Gao Xuan.

With a boom, a massive handprint a foot deep appeared on the ground. The entire Profound Yellow Mountain shook.

Gao Xuan stood in the center of the deep handprint, unscathed. At this moment, the Black Gold Robe proved its worth.

Ordinary clothes or armor would have been shattered into smithereens under the immense force of the Ten Directions Buddha Golden Palm.

The flexible Black Gold Silk could not withstand the Five-Ring Saber but could resist such fierce palm force with no problem. This prevented the awkwardness of Gao Xuan being exposed naked to the public.

Gao Xuan didn't mind much; his was the pinnacle of the Horizontal Training Body, the peak of this world's Horizontal Training Golden Body. Compared to other Thirteen Grand Protectors, his Golden Body was filled with endless vitality.

Even if his clothes burst off, he wouldn't care.

What concerned Gao Xuan was the Tai Chi Light Wheel at the end. Not only did it block his unparalleled fierce punch, but it also took Liu Sheng Wu Jian away.

The transformation was truly marvelous and mysterious, seemingly more akin to Magic than Martial Arts.

Even Zuo Bubei's Ten Directions Buddha Golden Body was not pure Martial Arts.

Gao Xuan glanced up at the high platform; the vanished Liu Sheng Wu Jian was already between Zuo Bubei and Luo Tiangang.
