King of Assassins

The opponents also included Luo Tiangang and Liu Sheng Wu Jian, making the situation dire.

Indeed, as Sun Shangdao anticipated. Luo Tiangang and Liu Sheng Wu Jian attacked together.

The combat awareness of these two Martial Gods was extremely high. Seeing that Gao Xuan was at his peak power, they attacked without hesitation.

Because when Gao Xuan's power subsided from its peak, he would receive a chance for recovery, and they had to press him, giving him no opportunity to adjust.

The Celestial Spirit Sword's layers of silver sword light surged like a tide, and the Five-Ring Saber's snow-colored blade sliced swiftly like a waning moon.

The retreating Zuo Bubei suddenly halted. The Profound Yellow Monk's Robe he wore flashed with strands of electricity. He swept his long sleeve, which rolled like clouds, and electric flashes could be seen within the sleeve.

Muffled thunder echoed faintly through the heavens and earth.

The thunder was not a real sound but was caused by the divine artifact Leiyin Kasaya from the Ten Directions Dao, directly targeting one's Divine Soul.

Everyone around only felt the rolling thunder, which made their livers and guts crack with dread, and their souls fly apart.

Thunderous Buddha Palm was supreme and claimed to spread across the Three Realms and Six Paths, enlightening all beings, teaching them the Righteous Law, and dispelling all demonic paths and removing impurities and obstacles.

The crowd was merely affected by the thunder, but Gao Xuan was the target of its full force.

Zuo Bubei had been biding his time, waiting for this opportunity to strike Gao Xuan down.

The thunder unleashed by the Leiyin Kasaya directly aimed at the Divine Soul, and no matter how strong Gao Xuan's flesh was, his Divine Soul could never be perfect and flawless; it would certainly be shaken by the thunder.

Zuo Bubei calculated meticulously and cunningly, but he misjudged one thing: Gao Xuan had the Six-winged Celestial Cicada.

Before the thunder struck, Gao Xuan had already sensed the danger. He collected his Divine Soul and fused it with his body's energy, blood, muscles, and bones into a perfect unity.

Originally, Gao Xuan's Spiritual Power was formidable, but on the level of the Divine Soul, he wasn't much stronger than Zuo Bubei.

Facing the supreme thunder's shock and tremors, Gao Xuan's body resonated with a humming sound, shaking his strong Divine Soul, separating it from his body, energy, acupoints, and blood.

This body wasn't his true form, and his self-perceived perfection and unity of inner and outer were ultimately flawed under the supreme thunder's cleansing.

Even though Gao Xuan was prepared beforehand, his body still paused for a moment. The overwhelming silver light from the Celestial Spirit Sword converged into a bright blade, piercing straight through his heart.

The Five-Ring Saber, slicing horizontally, also slashed across his neck.

Just as Gao Xuan's head was about to fall, his form suddenly turned elusive, disappearing into thin air.

Even Zuo Bubei's following long sleeve didn't manage to catch Gao Xuan.

When Gao Xuan reappeared, he was already a hundred paces away.

Blood gushed from his chest like a spring, and his neck was also severely split, appearing extremely miserable.

The numerous masters watching the battle couldn't see the details, but they saw Gao Xuan's wretched state.

Sun Shangdao and others felt a chill in their hearts: It's over!

If Gao Xuan died, thereafter the world would be under the say of Zuo Bubei and Luo Tiangang; no one would be able to defy them.

Despite their unwillingness and anger, the crowd was powerless to help. At this moment, everyone was filled with despair.

Zuo Bubei, Luo Tiangang, and Liu Sheng Wu Jian didn't care about the people around them; they flashed and surrounded Gao Xuan in the center.

Although Gao Xuan's wounds were healing rapidly, his face was a bit pale, and his blood-stained figure added to his embarrassment.

Zuo Bubei said solemnly, "Of the Thirty-six Strategies, running away is the best. Mr. Gao, you have indeed mastered a peerless technique from the Celestial Soldier Strategy. However, this strategy can only be used once."

"The monk has sharp eyes."

Gao Xuan could still smile despite being in a desperate situation. There was still an aura of indomitable arrogance between his brows, and his gaze was as deep as an abyss, without sorrow or joy, and certainly without any fear.

The three Martial Gods were both surprised and admired; Gao Xuan, although arrogant, exuded a commanding presence of dominance over the world with his posture.

Zuo Bubei said, "Since we have all attacked with full force, you have no more chances."

Luo Tiangang sneered, "If you have any last words, feel free to say them. Don't say we didn't give you a chance."

He still harbored resentment for Gao Xuan's earlier jests, and now using the same tactic in return, he felt an extraordinary satisfaction.

Gao Xuan laughed heartily, "Old Daoist, you are as petty as a woman, holding on to such a trivial matter."

He sighed lightly, "I originally wanted to use unparalleled martial arts to humble you, but I didn't expect you to play so unfairly. Not only working together but also using various divine artifacts. Is it really fair to cheat like this?"

Luo Tiangang laughed proudly, "Gao Xuan, even as a disciple of the Celestial Soldier Dao, don't you know that in pursuit of victory, one employs all conceivable methods?

"Utilizing various conditions and accumulating advantages for oneself as much as possible. This is military strategy!"

Rebuked by Luo Tiangang, Gao Xuan nodded, "You're right. I was too reckless."

Gao Xuan said solemnly, "Since that's the case, I will also be serious."

Luo Tiangang, Zuo Bubei, and Liu Sheng Wu Jian fell silent, all three staring intently at Gao Xuan. At this point, they wanted to see what other ultimate moves he had.

Gao Xuan's right hand gestured as he shouted, "Spear, come!"

The three great Martial Gods sensed something amiss and struck together without hesitation.

The Celestial Spirit Sword, Five-Ring Saber, Thunderous Buddha Palm, the combined forces of the three Martial Gods, fell upon Gao Xuan.

Gao Xuan did not defend, and his form again became elusive as he fled far away.

Of the Thirty-six Strategies, running away is the best. This is precisely the supreme skill from the Celestial Soldier Strategy. Zuo Bubei thought he could only use it once, but that underestimated him greatly.

As Gao Xuan appeared to be escaping, the Tai Chi Light Wheel behind Luo Tiangang's head spun rapidly.

Gao Xuan was about to keep retreating when the Tai Chi Light Wheel's reversing power forcibly relocated him forward, placing him only ten steps away from Luo Tiangang and the others.

"There's this move too."
