King of Assassins
Chapter 1005 - 685: As Easy as Flipping One’s Hand (Part 5)
This kind of Space Magic is not only supremely miraculous, but when Gao Xuan performs it, he neither chants incantations nor holds seals, wielding magic without the slightest hint of mundane traces.
It is like the bright moon hanging high above the Nine Heavens, unmoved by gusts of wind and bolts of thunder, unshaken by the crumbling of mountains and fissuring of earth.
The Golden Horn Demon King was shocked at heart. This Celestial Master before him was absolutely not at the Spirit Immortal Level. How could such a strong practitioner appear in the Cyan Celestial Realm? Could there be some grand scheme of the Celestial Court?
The more the Golden Horn Demon King thought, the more afraid and regretful he became. Although Iron Horn was his brother by blood, what mattered his death?
He had traveled thousands of miles, only to run into such a formidable fellow, truly unlucky to the extreme!
The Golden Horn Demon King's full-force strike returned without success, instilling in him a desire to retreat. However, having already turned hostile and initiated a fight, as a dignified Demon King, it wasn't possible for him to just turn and flee.
Luckily, even if he didn't win, he didn't lose either. Saying a few polite words and turning away wouldn't be disgraceful.
The Golden Horn Demon King loudly said, "Celestial Master's Divine Techniques are astounding, I have been instructed. Until we meet again."
Standing beside the Golden Horn Demon King, the Wind Tiger looked on in astonishment, having been relocated from the Five Peaks Golden Wheel just earlier. He was still quite displeased with Gao Xuan.
Wasn't it just relying on some protective Magic and Magical Treasures to dodge the strike of the Five Peaks Golden Wheel? Why was the Demon King about to leave?
The Golden Horn King didn't wait for Gao Xuan's response; he waved his hand, "Lads, retreat home."
"Come as you please, leave as you please."
Gao Xuan said, "Golden Horn, you are a bit too impolite."
He paused, then continued leisurely, "However, as for demons, ignorance of courtesy is quite common."
Gao Xuan's clear voice echoed across the sky; thousands of demon soldiers could hear it distinctly. Even Monk Golden Light using Water Mirror to watch the battle, and the secretly trembling and frightened Tao Jun, heard it clearly.
Monk Golden Light was both shocked and perplexed—it would be one thing if Gao Xuan only gained the upper hand, but did he really intend to kill Golden Horn?
Although Gao Xuan effortlessly broke the Five Peaks Golden Wheel, the Golden Horn Demon King still retained some power.
Demons possess formidable Life Force, not to mention a Demon King who has passed through Nine Thunder Tribulations, with a deep foundation. If it truly came to a life-and-death struggle, it would still be uncertain who would win or lose.
Moreover, killing a thousand enemies would mean suffering a loss of eight hundred.
Did Gao Xuan really have the confidence to easily kill the Golden Horn Demon King?
Monk Golden Light couldn't quite believe it. The power limit in the Cyan Celestial Realm is as it is; how could Gao Xuan be so strong?
Even Tao Jun didn't believe in Gao Xuan; he thought Gao Xuan was stirring up trouble unnecessarily. After shocking Golden Horn with one move, he should have known when to stop.
Unfortunately, at that moment, Tao Jun didn't dare to dissuade Gao Xuan. He could only watch anxiously, hoping things would settle quickly. Hoping that Gao Xuan really had the ability to easily eliminate Golden Horn.
Heartened by the fact that the Five Peaks Golden Wheel, an Immortal Artifact, had blasted the entire mountain into fine powder, leaving a massive pit on the ground, but all the force concentrated within the Golden Wheel's range. It didn't have much impact on the Royal City.
If not for the Immortal Artifact's ability to control power, the entire Royal City would have been destroyed by then.
Tao Jun also understood that it wasn't because the Golden Horn Demon King had shown mercy, but rather that he wanted to focus his power to kill Gao Xuan, without wasting any strength on unnecessary targets.
It is precisely because of this he barely survived.
The Golden Horn Demon King indeed didn't pay attention to Tao Jun; a mere Spirit Immortal was not worth his notice.
Gao Xuan's arrogance further enraged him.
The Golden Horn Demon King shouted loudly, "I have shown respect to the Celestial Court; let previous grudges be settled like this. You are still not letting it go, do you really think the Ten Thousand Demon Alliance is easy to bully?"
These words, spoken with a blend of firmness and softness, conveyed to Gao Xuan that he was not alone, and that he had nine other Demon Kings behind him.
Of course, Gao Xuan understood. He smiled faintly, "You seem quite wronged. All right, let's assume I'm bullying you."
The Golden Horn Demon King suddenly stood up, raising his Three-pronged Earth-Splitting Fork, his eyes blazing with fire, the pair of golden horns atop his head flashing with a myriad of golden rays.
"You really think I'm afraid of you? Court death!"
The Golden Horn Demon King's body was over twenty zhang in height, and as he took a step forward, his already huge stature swelled rapidly, growing to over a thousand zhang in the blink of an eye.
This enormous body was no illusion; it was a real transformation of flesh and blood.
The Gold Horn Demon King, now larger, resembled a golden mountain. Such a gigantic body truly brought out the advantage of demonic physiques.
Gao Xuan, standing at 1.88 meters, maintained the most perfect body proportions.
The Golden Horn Demon King, standing over a thousand zhang tall, nearly four thousand meters, made Gao Xuan look as insignificant as an ant before him. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢
At this distance, Gao Xuan could only see the Golden Horn King's massive, ugly thumb. The thick black hair growing on his thumb like hills, was akin to a dense black forest.
"You indeed have some skills."
Gao Xuan had to acknowledge, though transformations of Dharma Aspect can vary greatly, to physically grow the true body so huge was indeed formidable.
Even more terrifying was that as the Golden Horn Demon King's body enlarged, his body strength also increased, his power amplified a hundredfold.
With such a terrifying body, even Spirit Immortal Level Magic couldn't harm him.
The enormous size disparity made Tao Jun, in the deep pit, feel his heart sink halfway.
A Nine Tribulation Demon King with a Hundred Refinements Demon Body was indeed fearsome to the extreme. Tao Jun didn't even dare to look at the Golden Horn Demon King more, for fear of attracting his attention.
The mere existence of such a gigantic form disrupted the changes in Primordial Qi of this realm.
In fear that the battle would affect him, Tao Jun wished to use the Escape Technique to leave. Unfortunately, it wasn't working for him.
The overwhelming Demonic Power in the surroundings disrupted the Magic transformations.
Tao Jun was anxious beyond measure, worried that if he couldn't escape before they started fighting, his life would be forfeit here.
