King of Assassins-Chapter 57 Thunder New Moon Slash

The Arrow Nine flying ship, powered by a nuclear battery, is almost silent during flight. The soundproof materials completely isolate all outside noise, making the cabin even quieter.

Zhao Yong, clad in War Tiger Armor, had a face ashen under the transparent visor. He sat in the chair, his foot grinding back and forth, leaving deep marks on the high-strength PC flooring.

"You seem a bit nervous."

Opposite Zhao Yong, Yan Tiejun’s thick, broad eyebrows, like a long blade, slightly furrowed. He didn’t appreciate Zhao Yong’s loss of composure.

Zhao Yong realized his own lapse and lowered his head slightly, apologizing, "Sorry, Elder Yan, that was inappropriate of me."

He paused and explained, "Elder Yan, as I mentioned in my last report, the assassin from the Blood God Association killed Zhao Feng. I’ve faced him before but couldn’t detain him. I have a hunch that it’s the same assassin this time!"

Yan Tiejun said indifferently, "If it’s that assassin, all the better. We can catch him and get to the bottom of this."

Zhao Yong hesitated for a moment and said, "Elder Yan, that assassin is proficient in stealth techniques, and his swordsmanship is extraordinary. He’s definitely a top-level expert."

"With so many of us, we still can’t take him down?"

Yan Tiejun initially wanted to reprimand Zhao Yong but, considering Zhao Yong’s important position, chose not to speak too harshly.

Zhao Yong could only nod. The person opposite was an elder of the main association, and he was a Level 9 deacon; the elder was a full tier higher.

Yan Tiejun was delegated by the main association and had full authority over affairs in Mingjing. Like it or not, Zhao Yong had to obediently listen to Yan Tiejun.

Moreover, Yan Tiejun was known as the Thunderbolt Saber. He was a renowned martial artist of the Black Dragon Association. Although he was only Level 9, his combat prowess exceeded that of Level 10 experts.

Though Zhao Yong was typically strong-willed, he couldn’t muster any defiance in front of this individual. He said in a low voice, "Elder, if this person is from the Blood God Association, they must have accomplices."

Yan Tiejun replied coldly, "The head of the Blood God Association in Mingjing is Purple Snake. If she dares to make a move, I’ll chop her down with one stroke."

Yan Tiejun had met Purple Snake and held nothing but disdain for this flashy woman. He didn’t quite believe that Purple Snake would dare provoke their Black Dragon Association.

The one repeatedly attacking the Black Dragon Association must have backing from someone.

No matter, as long as they could capture the assassin, everything would become clear.

Yan Tiejun instructed his subordinates, "Be careful, and remember not to damage that person’s head."

With current technology, as long as the brain hasn’t died, there are always ways to preserve life and extract information.

The four subordinates in exoskeleton armor nodded in agreement. All of them were experts sent from headquarters, two at Level 5 and two at Level 6.

Combined with the powerful exoskeleton armor, they could hold their own against Level 8 and 9 experts.

Zhao Yong remained silent on the side. He knew Yan Tiejun’s force was indeed strong. However, due to an inexplicable intuition, he felt things wouldn’t go smoothly today.

He had given all the necessary warnings. Saying any more pessimistic words would make Yan Tiejun think he was being cowardly. He didn’t dare speak further.

The Arrow Nine flying ship was a special patrol ship, with a permit for aerial flight.

Zhao Yong picked up Yan Tiejun and his entourage at the Tenth Ring airport. Just as they boarded the flying ship, he sensed the furious spiritual waves of the Dark Dragon.

They hurried to accelerate towards the Yunbo Convention Hall. The aircraft, capable of flying in a straight line, moved extremely fast at full speed.

Within moments of their conversation, the flying ship had arrived above the Yunbo Convention Hall.

The dual-sided doors of the ship’s cabin opened, and Zhao Yong immediately leaped out. Yan Tiejun, under the protection of four subordinates, also jumped down.

In mid-air, with no place to exert force and fully exposed, one is most vulnerable to attacks. Although Yan Tiejun was confident, he was also cautious in his actions.

Upon landing, Zhao Yong slightly bent his knees to cushion the force. His skill in maneuvering the exoskeleton armor was exceptional, allowing the 400-kilogram armor to land almost silently.

This was also thanks to the exquisite design of the War Tiger Armor, specially equipped with an anti-gravity magnetic suspension system, even supporting brief flights for the armor.

However, this system consumes a lot of power and would deplete the battery within a few kilometers. The best usage was for gliding, jumping, and accelerating, to enhance the armor’s mobility.

Yan Tiejun’s guards were far less skilled, causing the ground to cave in with large pits as they landed from over 20 meters high.

The blue bricks paved in the courtyard were crafted using ancient methods, their surfaces slightly rough to retain an ancient flair.

When the guards landed on the four corners, the nearby bricks shattered from the impact, and a deep pit was stamped out.

The violent tremor caused ripples to spread across the pond in the courtyard, scattering the colorful koi fish inside into a frantic frenzy, abandoning their previous leisurely grace.

Gao Xuan couldn’t help but chuckle; even such well-fed, pampered koi fish have their days.

Although Gao Xuan didn’t laugh out loud, the faintly transparent watery glow surrounding him had already revealed the outline of his body. freeωebnovēl.c૦m

With just one glance, Zhao Yong determined that this was indeed the assassin who had killed Zhao Feng.

He shouted sternly, "It really is you!"

Gao Xuan turned around, he wanted to say ’it’s me,’ but as an assassin, he had to keep a low profile.

Just in case he couldn’t completely eliminate the enemy, saying even a word would reveal too much information. There’s absolutely no need to take such a risk.

Yan Tiejun was also sizing up Gao Xuan, but even with his keen eyes, he couldn’t discern Gao Xuan.

The opponent seemed like a malfunctioning light screen, his entire body flickered with a high-frequency transparent glow, making him appear intermittently, barely visible as a person.

Height, weight, gender, none of these could be discerned.

Yan Tiejun only glanced for a few seconds before he felt dizzy from the high-frequency flashing water-like glow.

"It’s not electronic optical stealth, it seems to be some special Source Power Technique, or some kind of marvel."

Unable to see through Gao Xuan, Yan Tiejun became more cautious. He asked in a deep voice, "Who are you? Why are you opposing my Black Dragon Association?"

Gao Xuan didn’t know Yan Tiejun, but seeing the black clothes and white hair style, he knew this person was much more formidable than Zhao Yong.

As for the guards in exoskeleton armor, though they were well-skilled, they posed little threat.

Gao Xuan remained silent, drew his sword, and advanced. At this moment, any verbal probing was meaningless, it was better to test what the opponent could do.

The blood-red sword light shot straight at Yan Tiejun like a flash of lightning.

Yan Tiejun’s thick eyebrows furrowed slightly like blades, and a long knife gleamed with green light appeared in his hand.

The blade of the long knife was like a new moon, with a very beautiful curve. The knife was clear and transparent, with ripple-like streams of light flashing constantly.

This long knife was five feet long, and although Yan Tiejun was not tall, the knife did not seem exaggerated in his hand.

Primarily, because the long knife was thin as paper, with a green light as bright as the moon, it looked like a new moon illuminating the sky. Held by Yan Tiejun, it didn’t seem sharp and fierce but rather had a serene and ethereal quality.

The Six-winged Celestial Cicada in Gao Xuan’s mind suddenly fluttered and chirped, warning him of the danger posed by this knife.

Even without the Six-winged Celestial Cicada, Gao Xuan had already recognized it as the Thunder New Moon Slash.

This marvel was notorious on Pegasus Star as a fearsome weapon. Not only was the knife extremely sharp, but it could also harness the power of thunder. The activated Thunder New Moon Slash was said to be unstoppable.

Reportedly, this knife was a Silver Level marvel, originating from the home planet, hence the name New Moon Slash.

Later, it fell into the hands of a master of sword technique and slew countless alien races, becoming famous at one time.

However, the master gradually lost the will to fight and was eventually killed by an enemy without any resistance.

Gao Xuan had only heard of the knife’s reputation and was not aware of the specific details.

With the knife in hand, Yan Tiejun indeed exuded no apparent killing intent. But the murderous intent in his eyes couldn’t be concealed.

"Average sword technique..."

Just by observing Yan Tiejun’s divine intent while wielding the knife, Gao Xuan knew the man’s sword technique was mediocre.

However, the opponent’s Source Power was higher than his by a margin. The Thunder New Moon Slash had unknown special changes, so Gao Xuan dared not be careless.

Yan Tiejun was very steady, and only when the Godslaying Sword reached his face did he swiftly slash back.

The crescent moon-shaped long knife turned into a stream of green light falling, leaving a curtain of green light in the air. It seemed to split the entire space in two.

Watching Zhao Yong’s eyes lit up, instantly filled completely by the green knife light.

Seeing Gao Xuan about to be cleaved by the green knife light, a streak of blood-red sword light flowed and blocked the swift slash of the long knife.

As the knife and sword clashed, a clear, long cry echoed. The turbulent Source Power swept towards all directions.

Gao Xuan’s swordsmanship was exceptionally exquisite; at the moment of the knife and sword clash, he could have deflected the force. However, a burst of thunder light exploded on the Thunder New Moon Slash, abruptly blasting the Godslaying Sword away.

The special changes of the Thunder New Moon Slash far surpassed the technical level of Source Power and swordsmanship.

Fortunately, the Godslaying Sword was of higher grade, withstanding the explosive thunder light, preventing its power from invading Gao Xuan.

Still, Gao Xuan was momentarily stunned by the shock.

Yan Tiejun seized the opportunity, slashing horizontally again.

This cut aimed directly at Gao Xuan’s neck, the streak of green knife light flying like lightning, thunder erupting.

Fierce, swift, and unstoppable, it instantly enveloped Gao Xuan.

Watching, Zhao Yong was overjoyed, thinking, "The opponent is definitely dead!"
