CHAPTER 205: CHAPTER 193 BORROWING A KNIFE TO KILL SOMEONE

A single sword pierced through Yuan Hao’s brow, extinguishing the passion and momentum of three hundred thousand people.

Yuan Hao glared at Gao Xuan, but the other had his eyes closed, revealing no emotions.

Yet Yuan Hao was immensely shocked and terrified, feeling an endless darkness rapidly consuming him.

He was unwilling to die like this, but he couldn’t express any emotion, nor utter a word.

In the end, Yuan Hao could only grudgingly grip the Hongyi Sword with both hands, his knees buckling as he knelt before Gao Xuan. Then, his pupils dilated rapidly, and he lost his breath.

Kneeling at Gao Xuan’s feet, Yuan Hao, hands supporting the sword, showed a face full of reluctance and shock.

Gao Xuan, however, remained calm, showing neither joy nor surprise.

This scene, like an exquisite movie frame, was deeply imprinted on the eyes of all spectators and etched in their hearts.

After a pause, the referee suddenly leaped to the center of the arena, shouting loudly, "Gao Xuan, have you gone mad?"

Gao Xuan casually drew his sword and stepped back, elegantly twirling the blade. The blood on the sword, as clear as autumn water, was flung into the air in a ring before the blade lightly returned to its sheath.

"It was a mistake."

Gao Xuan said nonchalantly to the referee, whose face was full of anger.

The referee shook with fury; the danger in the Sword Dao League was high, and deaths were not unusual.

But Gao Xuan’s manner made it clear it was intentional. However, it was completely legal.

Gao Xuan killed Yuan Hao with one strike without a finishing blow; he could say whatever he pleased.

No matter how he denied intentional murder, no one could do anything about it. At least legally, he wouldn’t bear any responsibility.

Yuan Ansheng and the Yuan Family People rushed forward, Yuan Ansheng holding his son’s corpse, finding his son’s spirit and consciousness completely dissipated, his heart full of despair.

Modern genetic techniques can make many adjustments to ensure the birth of excellent descendants. However, many things are beyond genetic control.

A genius like Yuan Hao exists only in this generation of the Yuan Family. As the eldest grandson, the entire family had high hopes for him.

Thus, the entire family spared no expense in making Yuan Hao famous. Gao Xuan was supposed to be Yuan Hao’s stepping stone.

Now, the stepping stone had turned into a fatal abyss.

Yuan Ansheng, over fifty, usually appeared cultured and magnanimous.

But now his eyes were red, his hands trembling.

The other Yuan Family members surrounding him looked unusually grim.

Watching the hope of the Yuan Family’s next generation being slain was an unbearable feeling.

Even more unbearable was the presence of three hundred thousand spectators and hundreds of millions of online viewers.

Everyone knew Yuan Hao belonged to the Yuan Family, and yet he was killed so easily by Gao Xuan. His death was so simple, with no value whatsoever.

The Yuan Family People glared angrily at Gao Xuan, and if not for the many spectators present, they would have attacked and killed Gao Xuan right then.

Han Peng also came up, looking at Yuan Hao’s corpse, his previously red face turning an iron blue.

He glared darkly at Gao Xuan, wondering how this kid dared to kill Yuan Hao? Who gave him the courage?

Yuan Ansheng cast a gloomy glance at Han Peng; he had arranged this affair, and such a major failure had occurred.

Han Peng, too, must be held accountable.

Han Peng sensed Yuan Ansheng’s deep malice, his heart slightly panicking.

He found it hard to explain the situation!

Under such circumstances, only by killing Gao Xuan to vent and give Yuan Ansheng an account could he settle.

Han Peng realized this, pointing at Gao Xuan, shouting, "Boy, I challenge you to a duel!"

The Alliance allows open duels, but complex certification procedures are needed. A sudden duel like Han Peng’s would be considered a private fight.

Any consequences would require legal responsibility.

However, Han Peng didn’t care about this. With his status and power, having the reason for a duel was enough. If he killed Gao Xuan, who could hold him accountable?

Not to mention the Yuan Family standing behind him, who dared to question him!

Han Peng didn’t wait for Gao Xuan’s consent, grabbing a sword from a nearby student’s waist and slashing directly at Gao Xuan.

Both were only a dozen steps apart; Han Peng raised his sword and stepped forward, and the next moment the sword was in front of Gao Xuan.

Han Peng hated Gao Xuan immensely, unleashing his most proficient Celestial Wing Sword right from the start.

The white Sword Qi extended from the blade, resembling giant spread white wings.

The wings of Sword Qi weren’t just for show; they had many wonderful uses, like gathering Source Power and breaking air resistance.

With Gao Xuan’s slight build, even without the sword cutting him, being swept by the wing-shaped Sword Qi would kill him instantly.

Those around were swept aside by the surging Celestial Wing Sword Qi, and Gao Xuan, facing the sword head-on, was under immense pressure.

Han Peng also knew of Gao Xuan’s advanced swordsmanship and refrained from underestimating him. In this situation, there was no time for a prolonged clash.

Therefore, he attacked with full force.

Before Han Peng arrived, the Sword Qi already fluttered Gao Xuan’s robe, and even the bangs covering his eyes flew up in the Sword Qi.

Gao Xuan’s face, in this moment, was without any barriers.

Han Peng had a strange feeling; although Gao Xuan was blind with closed eyes, he felt as if the other was watching him.

This evoked a trace of unease in him, but he didn’t mind much. Whatever tricks the other had, under the assault of tenfold Sword Qi, Gao Xuan would explode into a heap of blood.

However high his swordsmanship, strength prevails over skill!

A Tenth-level Swordsman could crush all simple sword techniques with just Sword Qi.

Han Peng valued Gao Xuan highly and fought with all his might. Everyone saw this scene.

The Yuan Family naturally felt gratified; killing this murderer on the spot would also bring relief.
