King of Assassins
Chapter 1086 - 705: One Sword Seals the Sea, Slays the Dragon Whale (Part 4)
Like the blade of Autumn Water, crystal clear yet containing an unbeatable sharpness.
Ao Beiyuan felt his heart tighten at the sight of the clear blade; the refined and acute Sword Intent severed all his Divine Sense transformations in an instant, leaving Ao Beiyuan in a daze.
When Ao Beiyuan snapped back to awareness, the Autumn Water Sword Light had already reached his brow.
Frightened, Ao Beiyuan found he didn't have enough time to muster any power. The sword was too fast to react to.
Sensing danger, the Ice Dragon Seal suddenly exploded with a burst of cold light, and a silver Dragon Spirit sprang forth, enveloping Ao Beiyuan completely.
The Earth Artifact level Ice Dragon Seal instinctively protected its master at a critical moment. The Ancient Ice Dragon's Dragon Spirit was exceedingly formidable.
The extreme cold of the Ice Power froze the surrounding space-time.
Even Gao Xuan's Hongyi Sword paused for a moment, as he too was affected by the Dragon Spirit.
However, Gao Xuan, having refined the Yuan Gui Xuanbing Divine Sword, understood the Ice Law well enough. Though the Ice Dragon wielded the extreme cold power strongly, without anyone to control it, it merely triggered the Divine Artifact with external force, causing it to act sluggishly.
The Hongyi Sword trembled slightly, and the blade, like a stream of Autumn Water, flowed straight in, piercing the silver Dragon Spirit as well as Ao Beiyuan within.
The Hongyi Sword's vast Sword Intent immediately extinguished Ao Beiyuan's Dragon Spirit.
The master of the North Sea Dragon Palace was slain by just one sword strike like this.
The surrounding Demon Generals and Giant Monsters were frozen by the Ice Powers released by the Dragon Spirit, unaware of what had happened.
Ao Feng, closest to Ao Beiyuan, reacted and showed a look of intense fear, as he crossed the Celestial Sound Fork in his hands suddenly.
This pair of Celestial Sound Forks used sound to defeat enemies and were amazingly intricate. The Celestial Sound Fork emitted a primordial Qi vibration sound at the highest pitch, able to indiscriminately destroy everything within a hundred miles.
With urgency, Ao Feng didn't care about anything else and desperately unleashed all his power.
As the crossed Celestial Sound Forks were about to sound, the Hongyi Sword lightly pressed them.
The Sword Intent, both extremely cold and extremely gentle, froze the Celestial Sound Double Fork completely. Ao Feng could no longer move under the pressure of this sword, even his Divine Soul was frozen by the Ice Power.
Ao Feng was greatly shocked, for he was exceedingly familiar with the Ice Power. Clearly, the power Gao Xuan was wielding was Ice Power, but more refined and profound. He, with the esteemed blood of the North Sea Dragon Race, was actually frozen by Ice Power; it was simply a humiliation.
At this moment, Ao Feng felt nothing but terror, unable to spare room to contemplate shame or dishonor.
Gao Xuan held down the Celestial Sound Double Fork with the Hongyi Sword and said to Ao Feng: "Do you know? You're pitifully weak."
He sighed, "Killing you all almost makes me feel it's an unfair victory."
Ao Feng's eyes showed a strong plea; he could not speak, but he did not want to die.
"Too late. If wronged, consequences must be faced."
Gao Xuan gazed into Ao Feng's beautiful ice-blue eyes and said, "Try to see it this way, you've lived for thousands of years, enjoyed the best resources of this realm, even death is worth it."
Ao Feng was inconsolable; he couldn't reconcile with it.
Gao Xuan told Ao Feng: "However, I still must thank you. Learned Ice Power from you. Behold my Ice Soul Sword, wonder if it catches the eye of Dragon Race might?"
With that, the Hongyi Sword pressed down slightly, Ice Soul Sword Light expanded, sealing tens of thousands of fish spirits and water monsters of the North Sea Dragon Palace with silver-white sword light.
Including Ao Feng and other Dragon Race members, the Eight Great Demon Generals, and numerous North Sea masters, all sealed by the silver-white sword light.
Tens of thousands of the Sea Race, along with vast swathes of seawater, were directly frozen into a silver ice mirror.
Due to his North Sea Dragon Race lineage, Ao Feng, sealed by the Ice Soul Sword, still retained vitality in his Divine Soul and could perceive the surroundings.
The Ice Soul Sword descended, Ao Feng felt crushed flat. This wasn't an illusion, all surrounding Sea Race were compressed like paper.
Gao Xuan's single sword not only froze the tens of thousands of Sea Race but also compressed the space they occupied.
Such Divine Power Transformation was truly refined!
In this state, Ao Feng could still see Gao Xuan, but Gao Xuan had also taken on a flattened form. He knew it was perception being suppressed, causing such an illusion.
Gao Xuan also knew Ao Feng still held some perception of the outside world. He smiled slightly and recited: "Miles upon miles controlling wind without leaving a trace, one sword seals sea slaying dragon and whale. Subdue demons and guard the righteous way, heart like bright mirror reflecting sky blue."
He then asked Ao Feng: "How's my poetry?"
Ao Feng naturally could not speak, in his eyes Gao Xuan kept becoming larger, and larger.
In an instant, Gao Xuan's gigantic figure now enveloped sky and sea, encompassing all directions. Ao Feng's Divine Soul could not withstand such a massive power impact and silently disintegrated.
The silver ice mirror that sealed tens of thousands of the Sea Race also shrank into a single point of shimmering silver light in Gao Xuan's hand.
The silver light flashed briefly, finally merging into his left hand, disappearing without a trace.
