The cultivation of Source Power on Pegasus Star is divided into ten levels, with Seventh-Level Source Power being a very formidable expert.
Although Xu Hui was over eighty, under the stimulation of Source Power, his body instantly surpassed human limits.
His attack, akin to a swooping eagle, was faster than a shooting arrow.
Xu Hui wanted to capture him alive, as he didn't know what madness 088 had succumbed to and needed to get to the bottom of it.
Just as Xu Hui swooped down, Gao Xuan sidestepped, narrowly avoiding Xu Hui's strike and retreating to the corner of the room.
This room was only about ten square meters, and Gao Xuan had no further room to retreat after backing into the corner.
Xu Hui landed and turned lightly, but did not rush to attack again.
His previous attack didn't use full force, yet with the other's ability, he shouldn't have been able to dodge it.
Xu Hui knew very well the depth of cultivation of these young practitioners.
Although they had all survived the harsh hellish training, their actual cultivation was only at Level 3 to Level 4. The training was more about tempering the mind.
Of course, for someone in their late teens, mastering Third-Level Source Power was already considered a genius level, sufficient to dominate peers of the same age.
But compared to a Seventh-Level expert like him, the gap was immense.
Within this group at the base, Gao Xuan ranked last. Him being able to dodge Xu Hui's eagle-like attack was beyond his expectations.
Moreover, Gao Xuan's Source Power fluctuations were subtle, clearly not surpassing the Third-Level. It was only through preemptive judgment and the most suitable reaction that he avoided Xu Hui's strike.
There were no complex techniques involved; the most crucial aspect was discerning judgment.
Xu Hui looked Gao Xuan up and down: "I didn't realize you had such skills. I underestimated you before."
Gao Xuan shook his head slightly: "You didn't underestimate me. It's just that I've returned after a rebirth, and a century's worth of vision and experience far surpass yours. Dodging this strike wasn't hard."
"I'm starting to believe you've truly been reborn. I want to capture you and extract all the memories from your mind to see what the next hundred years are truly like!"
Xu Hui squinted his old eyes with a sinister smile. Whether Gao Xuan spoke truth or lies, capturing him would clarify everything.
Gao Xuan also smiled: "Teacher, you are still so decisive and ruthless."
He then shook his head: "But unfortunately, I've already won this round."
Xu Hui didn't know what method Gao Xuan had. His gaze sharpened, ready to strike, but Gao Xuan gestured: "Hold on, teacher, put away your Cyan Silk Sword and Triangular Flying Spike for now, and don't hastily unleash your Gale Source Power Technique."
Hearing Gao Xuan mention his most skilled weapons and secret techniques, Xu Hui's old face finally changed color.
Living at the base for over a decade, he had never revealed his true martial arts or secret techniques. Even his closest friends knew nothing of these secrets.
How did Gao Xuan know?
Gao Xuan seemed to understand Xu Hui's confusion. He said somewhat helplessly: "I told you I've been reborn. Not only do I know what you're skilled at, but I also know you have a daughter named Xu Yan, living in Mingjing City. You also have a granddaughter and a granddaughter's husband, quite the lively family."
Xu Hui's old face turned iron blue. His daughter was his greatest secret. The organization knew nothing, so how did Gao Xuan?
"Trying to threaten me with my daughter is impossible."
Xu Hui was decisive and, without hesitation, activated the Cyan Silk Sword in his right wrist.
The Cyan Silk Sword was woven with super fibers mixed with titanium steel wire, as thin as a hair, and four meters long. Only someone with Xu Hui's substantial Source Power could manipulate the Cyan Silk Sword through special techniques.
At this distance, one sweep of the Cyan Silk Sword would reduce Gao Xuan to chopped fragments.
"Zheng..."
A sharp and prolonged sword cry suddenly rang in Xu Hui's mind. At the same time, an unmatched sharp crimson divine light deeply etched into Xu Hui's eyes.
At that moment, Xu Hui's mind went blank.
When Xu Hui regained his senses, he was horrified to find his eyes completely red, and Gao Xuan's incomparably handsome face seemed tinged with a layer of blood, slightly blurred and distorted.
At some point, a crimson-sheathed longsword appeared in Gao Xuan's hand.
The crimson sword sheath was ancient and exquisite in design, exuding a strong sense of wickedness and danger. Faintly, it seemed there were fierce, low howls emanating from the scabbard, as if demons were about to spring from within.
Xu Hui found the sword in Gao Xuan's hand familiar, yet he couldn't remember where he'd seen it.
What was worse, Xu Hui didn't know what had just transpired.
Now, his entire body couldn't exert any strength, and all his internal Source Power had dissipated. He was like a puppet, completely losing control of his body.
Gao Xuan raised the dark red sheathed sword to Xu Hui's old eyes, "Teacher, do you remember this sword?"
Xu Hui's bloodshot old eyes slowly turned, but he couldn't speak.
Gao Xuan considerately said: "Teacher, you took a sword to the forehead, your mind almost got pierced through, and you can't speak at the moment. Just listen."
He continued speaking to himself: "This sword is the Godslaying Sword hidden deep in the base treasury. You remember, right?"
Xu Hui suddenly recalled, yes, this sword is indeed the Godslaying Sword hidden deep in the base treasury.
The Godslaying Sword is a marvel from ancient times, its sharpness is unmatched, it shatters everything, and nothing can withstand it.
It is said to cut down the Divine and split the stars.
However, this sword is extremely eerie. As long as the Sword Master fights with the Godslaying Sword, they will undoubtedly be devoured by it.
After acquiring the Godslaying Sword, the Blood God Association studied it for a while and finally concluded: the Godslaying Sword kills others and oneself, without exception.
Modern technology can surpass star systems externally and decipher human genes internally.
No matter how well the Godslaying Sword performs, it is merely a cold weapon that cannot compare with modern technological weapons. Yet, the danger of the Godslaying Sword cannot be controlled.
This is also the characteristic of marvels, possessing special powers while also having uncontrollable hazards.
Marvels are entities with special powers, non-man-made.
The existence and operation modes of marvels are not limited by basic physical rules and cannot be fully understood by intelligent life.
Therefore, the Godslaying Sword was placed deep in the treasure vault of the underground base.
Xu Hui had seen the Godslaying Sword once, and that was ten years ago.
Xu Hui wondered, how did Gao Xuan know the Godslaying Sword was hidden in the treasury? And how did he get it? Didn't Gao Xuan know the dangers of the Godslaying Sword?
This Godslaying Sword is indeed monstrous. Even he, a Seventh-Level Source Power expert, had no power to resist under the Godslaying Sword.
However, Gao Xuan carrying the Godslaying Sword into battle means certain death as well.
Xu Hui caught his breath and silently sneered as he said, "The Godslaying Sword kills others and oneself, without exception. You'll die with me."
"Do you know why I left you a chance to breathe?"
Gao Xuan smiled and said, "Because I have so many secrets I want to tell someone. Teacher, could you hold on a little longer, please?"
Xu Hui was somewhat confused in mind, but he barely grasped Gao Xuan's meaning.
It seemed, seemed like Gao Xuan found a way to use the Godslaying Sword?
"Teacher, you are truly clever, you figured it out right away."
Even though Xu Hui didn't speak, Gao Xuan seemed to see through his thoughts as he said, "The Godslaying Sword kills others and oneself, this is due to the sword's eerie taboo."
As he spoke, Gao Xuan drew the Godslaying Sword and gently stroked the four complex patterns at the base of the blood-red blade: "See, these four words are clearly written: Those who see blood shall die."
He laughed again, "Teacher, you understand now, the Godslaying Sword must not see blood, seeing blood means death."
Upon hearing this, Xu Hui's spirit refreshed, becoming unusually sober: "Then you're doomed!"
"Teacher, even as sly as you are, facing death you become so stupid, it's truly disappointing."
Gao Xuan said slowly, "Since I dare to use the Godslaying Sword, I naturally have a method to avoid its harm."
Xu Hui remained silent, indeed, it was a simple truth. He shouldn't have missed it.
He was just blinded by hatred and anger, losing the ability to think.
Gao Xuan slightly shook his head, "Teacher, you're at fault here. At this moment, you should hold onto the topic and curiously ask me what method I'm using."
Xu Hui was very weary, he wanted to close his eyes, but he still wanted to hear Gao Xuan's secret of controlling the Godslaying Sword.
"Teacher, your weary yet persistent look is really fitting, it kind of touches me."
Although Gao Xuan spoke this way, the smile on his face slowly faded, "But you, cold-blooded scum, also want to hear my secret, you're not worthy."
The sudden insult made Xu Hui's eye twitch. But in his current state, he lacked the strength to express anger.
Gao Xuan said sincerely, "Teacher rest assured, even though I detest you, the basic courtesy as a disciple is still there. I will send your daughter's entire family to hell to accompany you, letting your family be reunited happily..."
Xu Hui was already clinging to life, and upon hearing this, his old eyes widened, staring at Gao Xuan. His old face also became eerily sinister. He wanted to curse Gao Xuan but couldn't utter a word.
The intense and furious emotions quickly burned away the little life force Xu Hui had left.
In just a few seconds, blood spread in Xu Hui's eyes and his head slowly drooped, yet his face maintained that look of anger and sinister expression.
Gao Xuan reached out and gently patted Xu Hui's head, "Teacher, it's just a joke, why are you so agitated."
He said with some amusement, "Your sinister little expression is quite funny. Too bad, 006, 022, 031, 055, 091, including over a thousand other unnamed fellows can't see it."
Gao Xuan murmured to himself, "They died much more miserably than you. They didn't even have the chance to be angry."
He gently caressed the intricate red sword sheath and said softly, "With this sword I vow, I will seek vast justice from the Blood God Association for myself and all brothers and sisters!"
