Gao Yuan Lake alone killed two old Taoists who were level 3 of the Small Perfection Stage. This was also the first time he showed his true strength in front of an outsider.

Everyone in the martial arts world knew that the Gao Family could not afford to offend them, but they always felt that the Gao Family could not afford to offend them because the Gao Family had the imperial government as a backer.

Many people had already forgotten that if it hadn"t been for that old master of the Gao Clan"s a.s.sistant, the Yan Emperor might not have been able to take down this entire land.

There were rumors of the Gao Family everywhere in the martial arts world, but most of them had already deviated from the martial arts world.

In the end, the Gao Family was the overlord of Yan Kingdom"s martial arts world.

To be more precise, it should be said that the Gao Clan was after all the hegemon of the Yan Kingdom"s underworld martial arts world.

A family that dared to attack a Royal family, who could say that he wasn"t strong?

The East Warming Pavilion was just a room, one that was located to the east of the Hall of Heavenly Harmony.

Empyrean Terminus Palace had three temples located in a straight line. The first was the Empyrean Terminus Palace, which was the meeting place.

Behind the Empyrean Terminus Palace was the Sky and the Temple, separated by a hundred and fifty meters.

At this moment, the one hundred and fifty meter wide s.p.a.ce was filled with corpses.

The guards and a.s.sa.s.sins were still fighting. At the start, the guards" counterattack had frustrated the a.s.sa.s.sin, but with the huge advantage in numbers, the a.s.sa.s.sin quickly took the initiative.

By now, the entire Heaven Temple had collapsed, leaving only the East Warming Pavilion standing there alone.

The one-meter-tall platform in front of the hall had completely disappeared, to be replaced by a huge crater that was more than a dozen meters deep.

At the bottom of the hole, there was a square stamp, and beneath the seal, there were the corpses of two Small Perfection Realm experts.

Gao Yuan and the others did not dare to easily take back the square stamp. After all, it was an expert of the Small Perfection Realm. No one could be sure whether or not those two old Daoist had truly died.

He strode outside the East Warming Pavilion and bowed, ""My king, please return to heaven.""

At the window, Mu Changyan squinted at the lake and asked, ""Just you alone?""

Gao Yuan stood up straight. ""What else does the King have?""

Mu Changyan smiled and said, ""You can try.""

Gao Yuan kept silent for a while before he nodded. ""This subject will give it a try.""

He stepped forward, a terrifying black light flickering in the center of his palm.

A long sword was placed on the table in front of Mu Changyan.

The scabbard was not gaudy and did not have any gemstones attached to it. It was just an ordinary wooden scabbard.

His hand was on the side of the sheath, within reach.

It was precisely because of this sheath that Gao Yuan stopped in his tracks.

He took a closer look and realized that it was not a longsword at all, but just a sheath.

Empty scabbard.

However, Gao Yuan"s face changed. He was obviously hesitating whether he should continue walking forward or not.

""Is that the supreme treasure used by w.a.n.g Dingjiang in the past?""

Gao Yuan asked.

Mu Changyan smiled and said, ""So you also know him.""

Gao Yuan was silent once again, as if he was calculating whether he could still kill Mu Changyan.

After about two minutes, Gao Yuan took a deep breath and said, ""I still want to try.""

Mu Changyan nodded. ""You do it.""

Gao Yuan took another deep breath. The black light in his palm began to spread out. A moment later, his entire body was enveloped by the black light.

He could no longer see that it was a person. It was only a ma.s.s of black light.

The black light moved forward, and the earth around it turned black.

As he got closer, the East Warm Pavilion, which was already in a precarious position, began to emit smoke. The wood began to turn black, and it might start to burn in the next second.

Mu Changyan grabbed the scabbard and moved forward a centimeter.

The black light that was moving forward froze, then it involuntarily took a step back.

The black light seemed to have b.u.mped into an invisible wall. The light in front was flat, appearing extremely strange.

The black light began to sway, then it transformed into a black snake that coiled around Gao Yuan"s body.

The lake stared at the scabbard for another minute, then held out its right hand.

The black snake of light moved from his body to his right arm, before taking a bite.

The black snake unexpectedly bit a hole in his arm and drilled into it.

Gao Yuan shouted, and his right arm turned black in an instant.

All the clothes on his arms were blown away, and his black arms glittered with dark gold tattoos.

However, it was not a tattoo at all. It was a tattoo that focused all the power of his cultivation on his arm.

He moved his right hand forward, touching the invisible barrier.

""Even the Taizu"s remnants cannot stop me from killing you!""

Gao Yuan roared, and his eyes turned red in an instant.

The dark golden tattoo on his right hand grew brighter and brighter. With a pah sound, it was as if something had been p.r.i.c.ked. His arm rushed forward.

Inside the East Warming Pavilion, Mu Changyan"s scabbard tightened.

It was as if there was an invisible hand grabbing onto the scabbard and beginning to fight with Mu Changyan.

Mu Changyan"s expression was especially solemn. He gripped the scabbard tightly before biting the tip of his tongue and spitting out a mouthful of blood onto the scabbard.

The scabbard suddenly began to emit a red glow.

Immediately following that, a frost began to spread out at a speed visible to the naked eye, freezing the originally invisible cultivation base.

There was a line between the frozen lake and the scabbard. That was the power of his and Mu Changyan"s battle for the scabbard.

He didn"t know how the power of ice on the sword sheath could be so strong that it could freeze the invisible power of cultivation.

In the next second, frost covered the back of Gao Yuan"s right hand.

Gao Yuan shouted, and the dark golden tattoo on his arm became especially bright.

The black light moved forward, and the frost retreated.

However, the black light only strengthened for a few seconds before the frost returned from the tip of Gao Yuan"s finger.

This time, the ice began to spread at an even faster rate. In the blink of an eye, it had completely covered Gao Yuan"s right arm.

Gao Yuan"s face turned terrifyingly pale. He suddenly stretched his left hand backwards, opened his five fingers, and then withdrew them.

The seal that had originally been suppressing the two old Daoist corpses flew out with a swoosh, rapidly smashing towards the East Warming Pavilion.

It was a magic item that could kill two Small Perfection Stage Level 3 experts. Although it was not a Purple grade divine artifact, it could probably be considered a peak Gold-grade item.

The strength of a magical equipment depended on the strength of the user.

Gao Yuan Lake"s strength was at least at the Small Perfect Stage Level 5 or higher. Otherwise, it would not be so easy to kill the two old Taoists.

And with this seal combined with his strength, he was able to fully display the power that a peak grade Gold rank magic tool should possess.

For example, even though he had a violet grade divine weapon, he was temporarily unable to utilize the strength a violet grade divine weapon should have.

The seal was not aimed at Mu Changyan, but at protecting himself.

If he did not break the power of the sheath, the lake would know that he would lose his life here.

""Gu has said before, you alone are not enough!""

Mu Changyan grabbed the scabbard and pointed it forward. An ice arrow shot out from the scabbard.

The ice arrow and the seal met in midair and were instantly frozen.

After being hit by the ice arrow, the originally sharp and overbearing seal was unable to resist at all.

With a crack, it split open and then fell down.

It looked like there were two seals less than the size of a palm, but when they hit the ground, there were two waves of earth.

Gao Yuan grunted as his magical equipment broke and his heart meridian was damaged.

He spat out a mouthful of blood, but his eyes were no longer as resolute.

Gritting his teeth, he raised his left hand and chopped down like a knife, forcefully cutting off his right arm from his shoulder.

With a ""pa"" sound, his right arm fell to the ground and shattered into ice shards.

At this moment, two men in black clothes rushed over from the rooftop in the distance at the same time.

Two men, one with a long knife, one with a hook.

The golden light emitted from these two magic tools showed how high and low they were.

These two people were incredibly fast. After Mu Changyan used her scabbard to shatter the seal, they immediately rushed over.

The two of them flew over the rooftops of the Empyrean Terminus Palace, but in less than a second, they arrived outside the Eastwarmth Pavilion.

Gao Yuan couldn"t help but smile bitterly when he saw the two men … He was just a cannon fodder indeed. It was just some more valuable cannon fodder.

If he used all the resources he had to force Mu Changyan out, no one would care even if he died.

Those two people who had charged over were the Gao Family"s true killing move. If they made a move, then Duke Yan, Mu Changyan, would die without a doubt.

Gao Yuan let out a long breath … No matter what, he could finally kill the King of Yan.

Although the two of them weren"t necessarily stronger than Gao Yuan, they had seized the perfect timing.

Even though the scabbard was powerful, after breaking the seal and crippling one of Gao Yuan"s right arms, it was already at the end of its strength.

Now that the two had made their moves, their timing was extremely accurate.

With the power of the scabbard, it shouldn"t be a problem to block the attack of one of them. However, no matter what, it couldn"t block the killing move of the other person.

In this short period of time, Gao Yuan remembered that he was not the most pitiful one.

There might be one person who would die in those two a.s.sa.s.sins.

Using one"s life in exchange for a life could guarantee a one hit kill.

However, at this moment, Gao Yuan saw Mu Changyan chopping towards the two men with the scabbard in his hand.

No matter how strong the scabbard was, Mu Changyan was lacking in cultivation. It was already quite impressive for her to be able to display the might she had displayed previously.

Didn"t Mu Changyan know that he was doomed this time?

But why was there no determination in his eyes, even a contempt?

Then, far away, the lake saw the wine flag hanging from the window of the Eastwarm Pavilion … It was very strange, why was there a wine flag hanging from the window of the Eastwarm Pavilion?

The East Warm Pavilion was originally the power center of Great Yan, not a wine shop.

However, after Mu Changyan"s attack had been unleashed, Gao Yuan knew that he had lost this time.

A strand of sword intent had been drawn out from the wine flag, and Gao Yuan was unable to describe just how elegant that strike had been.

When he saw that sword appear, he even had the urge to kneel down and kowtow.

His heart was chilled, even more so than the ice that covered his right arm.

Even if the sword sheath was of a higher grade, he still dared to try it out.

However, after this sword attack, Gao Yuan knew that even if there were two of him, no... even if there were five of him altogether, he might not be able to block it.

That sword could exterminate Immortals.

Is there an immortal in the world?

When An Zaiyue was still living in the Long City of the Azure Barbarian Mountain, he had borrowed the sword intent of the wine flag to kill the people of the Great Kou Tang.

At that time, he was still unable to cultivate, so it was already difficult for him to borrow out the sword intent.

At that time, Mu Changyan had lamented that the sword intent could have been used to slay Immortals … but it was used to kill an unrated character. It was truly a waste.

Fortunately, the attack he had borrowed from An Zaiyi was nothing. It had not affected the power of his sword intent at all.

A sword slashed out.

The two a.s.sa.s.sins were cut in half by the pillar in the sky. Four halves of their bodies fell from the sky.

The longblade shattered and the hook snapped.

The sword intent surged and swept out.

One hundred and fifty meters away, the roof of the Empyrean Terminus Palace was forcibly cut off.

The lake"s face was ashen.

No one could block that strike.

Gao Yuan couldn"t think of anyone in the Gao Clan who could block that strike. As long as the wine flag was there, no one would be able to kill Mu Changyan.

There was a light snap.

A breath of air split open on the wine flag, and Mu Changyan"s heart tightened.
