King of Assassins-Chapter 983 - 677: The Yellow Sparrow

The sky seemed to have split open with an invisible giant chasm, as countless flashes of thunder poured down like a tide.

The celestial tribulation was drawn by Gao Xuan, and naturally, it struck directly at him. However, the celestial tribulation would not discern its target, and the power unleashed by the thunder tribulation was enough to cover a range of dozens of miles.

For those within the range of the thunder tribulation, the only way to survive was to run as far as possible.

Unfortunately, the little demons in the valley had nowhere to escape.

As demons, they naturally had an abundance of yin energy, and their divine souls were filthy, making them most afraid of the power of thunder.

The Pure Yang Thunder that descended from the celestial tribulation was a manifestation of the Origin Law of the Immortal Realm, with exceptionally immense power.

These little demons were covered by the tribulation thunder light, and they were instantly blasted into fragments of blackened ash by the thunder.

Over ten thousand demons were completely wiped out by the first wave of thunder light.

Only the Four Tribulation Old Demon, Iron Horn King, managed to withstand the first wave of the celestial tribulation. But, he was not in a good state.

His entire iron armor had been half-melted by the Pure Yang Thunder Light, his black fur had already turned to ash through carbonization, and his body surface was etched with scorch marks.

Iron Horn King had undergone four thunder tribulations, but each time he crossed the tribulation, he had prepared well in advance with various magical artifacts specially for crossing tribulations.

He had never thought he would face the tribulation thunder unprepared like this.

Fortunately, he had thick skin and tough flesh, and his body was strong. Although suddenly hit by the tribulation thunder, he could still endure it. Although he looked a bit wretched, he hadn't suffered substantial harm.

Iron Horn King knew that other little demons were doomed, and he wasn't inclined to care about their fate. His sole thought was to take advantage of the tribulation thunder's arrival to kill Gao Xuan.

Normally, a Celestial Court Golden Seal could enclose the divine soul's aura to avoid the thunder tribulation. But since Gao Xuan had brought the thunder tribulation upon himself, he wouldn't have a say in what happened next.

Iron Horn King wanted to see how Gao Xuan would be struck dead by the tribulation thunder. Even if the thunder tribulation didn't kill him, Iron Horn King could seize the opportunity to take action and settle things with Gao Xuan.

The tribulation thunder was terrifying since it wasn't only aimed at the body but also directly targeted the divine soul.

Be it cultivators or demons, they had to give their all when crossing the tribulation. At that moment, they had no strength to spare for handling external changes.

Gao Xuan was reckless to dare to evoke the tribulation thunder in his lair.

Even Iron Horn King had to admit, this move was indeed vicious. Over ten thousand henchmen and little demons turned to ash instantly.

The Pure Yang Thunder Tribulation also destroyed the array he had set up in the Yunxi Mountain Range over several hundred years.

People must understand that he wasn't slaughtering so many people every year just because he liked bloodshed, but because the blood and flesh of their souls could be refined into a massive array.

With such an array, Iron Horn King could control the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, mountains, and rivers. It's the primary significance of having a territory.

One doesn't simply occupy a cave and call it a lair. Only with an array set up, thoroughly mastering that part of the world, can it be called a lair.

As a Four Tribulation Great Demon, Iron Horn King invested a huge amount of energy in the management of his lair.

As a result, the Pure Yang Thunder Tribulation drawn in by Gao Xuan slaughtered all the little demons and eradicated all the remaining soul evil ghosts. All the arrays and restrictions set up were destroyed by the Pure Yang Power.

His hundreds of years of painstaking work were turned to ash in the tribulation thunder.

The more Iron Horn King thought, the more infuriated and hateful he became. He was prepared to risk his life to kill Gao Xuan first.

Moreover, he didn't believe that Gao Xuan could resist the thunder tribulation and still spare any strength to deal with him.

However, reality was somewhat harsh.

Amidst the layers of thunder light, Gao Xuan just stood there quietly, without any resistance, allowing the tribulation thunder to strike directly at his body.

Gao Xuan's expression was calm and composed, even carrying a hint of delight. It seemed as though he was enjoying the tribulation thunder.

Iron Horn King found it hard to accept; every time he crossed a tribulation, he would tremble with fear, using everything he had at his disposal, fearing that one wrong move would result in the annihilation of both body and spirit.

Though he had survived four thunder tribulations, Iron Horn King remained exceptionally reverent towards thunder tribulations. Such naturally occurring great power was not something any living creature could match.

Even his big brother, the Golden Horn Demon King, was cautious when facing a tribulation thunder, preparing various measures hundreds of years in advance.

Iron Horn King was seeing someone like Gao Xuan cross a tribulation like this for the first time, letting the thunder light strike without any resistance.

Judging by the look of it, it was as if Gao Xuan wished for the tribulation thunder to be even more intense.

Iron Horn King couldn't help but hesitate. This Celestial Master was indeed extraordinary; did he really have absolute confidence in handling the tribulation thunder?

If the opponent really was too powerful, it might be wise to flee first and seek revenge with his big brother later.

No matter how powerful Gao Xuan was, he was no more than a Spirit Immortal. His big brother, the Golden Horn Demon King, could crush him with just a finger.

Seeing the fiercely radiant ten thousand thunder lights on Gao Xuan, Iron Horn King doubted if a single finger would be enough, perhaps a whole hand was required. In any case, his big brother could surely kill Gao Xuan.

Iron Horn King was intimidated by Gao Xuan's way of crossing tribulation, losing all his fighting spirit. He couldn't grip his Ten Thousand Peaks Fork, casually throwing it aside and turning to run.

Just as Iron Horn King turned away, blazing divine light flickered before his eyes.

Unbeknownst to him, Gao Xuan was already blocking his path.

Encased in layers of thunder light, Gao Xuan's body exhibited a semi-transparent glow, yet Iron Horn King could distinctly see the smile on Gao Xuan's face: "When someone presents you a gift, turning away right away is very impolite."

Seeing this, Iron Horn King's anger intensified. He couldn't just leave; Gao Xuan was really pushing him to the edge.

With a furious roar, he exclaimed, "Do you think I'm afraid of you? Die!"

Iron Horn raised a massive fist and smashed it fiercely towards Gao Xuan. The fist he held was significantly larger than Gao Xuan, enveloping him completely as it descended.
