If it were anyone else, they would certainly take advantage of this precious opportunity to sense the changes in Source Power and cultivate madly.

Gao Xuan's Sword Intent was too strong, and such an opportunity was useless to him.

To avoid wasting it, he decided to use this special state to lock onto the Golden Light Asura.

According to the information given by Nuwa, the Golden Light Asura lived in Jinbo City, a seventh-level citizen and a somewhat famous scholar, hailing from a powerful noble family.

Nuwa had all the data from the Dark Web. Combined with the Celestial Net data, they finally locked onto the Golden Light Asura's identity over the years.

However, in a place like Taurus, the Golden Light Asura was the top assassin. Although Nuwa wanted to eliminate the Golden Light Asura, she didn't have the right people for the job.

So, she assigned the task to Gao Xuan.

Nuwa gave Gao Xuan a detailed address, but to use Divine Sense to lock onto the Golden Light Asura's location, Gao Xuan had to search and sense it himself.

Gao Xuan felt it unnecessary; he could now sense the corresponding mark through the Sea of Source Power.

There were many Silver Experts on Taurus, but the mark of the Golden Light Asura was vastly different from other Silver Experts.

In this special state, with his Spiritual Power, Gao Xuan had already locked onto the mark of the Golden Light Asura in the Sea of Source Power.

Through this subtle Spiritual mark, Gao Xuan could sense the Golden Light Asura's Source Power state and even his spiritual state.

Indeed, the other party was just one step away from the Golden Tier.

Although Nuwa couldn't harness Source Power, the strong judgment of the Heart of Data was precise enough.

Gao Xuan also locked onto the Golden Light Asura's location.

Meanwhile, the Golden Light Asura was sitting under a parasol, leisurely reading an old paper book.

Compared to electronic reading, he preferred these paper books. Moreover, he had an aversion to various modern electronic devices.

Every electronic device was connected to the Celestial Net, constantly exchanging data.

All personal information was leaked in such data exchanges.

The Golden Light Asura disliked both the Celestial Net and the Dark Web. He was always cautious in using various electronic devices.

Normally at home, he used all kinds of ancient tools, like a projection device using film, an old record player playing vinyl, or a TV that could only play videotapes, etc.

In his home, even the telephone was an old-fashioned wired one.

Besides, he had devices blocking electronic signals all around the house to ensure that his privacy wouldn't be leaked.

This old and traditional lifestyle wasn't unique. On the contrary, many middle-upper-tier people preferred this life without wireless electronics.

They believed that too much electronic information was forcibly stuffed into everyone.

The seemingly limitless mass of information actually didn't offer people the freedom of choice.

As soon as individuals logged onto platforms, their usage habits were quickly understood by the Celestial Net. Based on the need, various information was pushed. The choices you believed in were all results filtered by the Celestial Net.

The Celestial Net was a means of the upper tier exploiting the lower tier.

As middle-upper-tier individuals, they were not rulers but did not want to be ruled, so they made such a stance.

With both money and leisure, they could afford such an ancient lifestyle.

The Golden Light Asura's lifestyle fits his identity well, drawing no suspicion. Instead, it allowed him to retain his secrets as much as possible.

He lived in a seaside villa with over ten kilometers of private beach. In this area, he was the only person. It was quiet enough, and well-hidden.

In the past two years, he rarely went out on missions because he had already sensed the threshold of the Golden Tier. Just one more step forward, and he could enter the Golden Tier.

Normally, he needed to cultivate in a Star Realm with a higher Source Power tier.

However, the Golden Light Asura felt he was not ready and needed more time to forge himself.

After all, he was not of the Human Race, and living for another two hundred years in this state wasn't a problem. In the long duration, he would eventually achieve the Golden Tier.

In the lazy afternoon, listening to the waves, sipping afternoon tea, and reading an old book, this was the lifestyle the Golden Light Asura was most accustomed to.

Today, however, everything seemed a bit different.

The Golden Light Asura looked up; the golden sea waves undulated, and the water left marks on the white beach before swiftly retreating.

On the far sea, a sailboat was leisurely gliding in the wind, and the raised white sails stood out in the golden sea.

However, the boat was at least a dozen kilometers away, and he didn't sense anything unusual on the sailboat.

Instead, the woman manipulating the white sail on the boat had a nimble figure, her bronze skin glowing with healthy beauty. With a great chest, long legs, and beautiful curves.

The Golden Light Asura liked such natural beauty of life. His gaze swept across her buttocks but quickly retracted.

If he encountered her elsewhere, he would definitely visit her, draining and tearing the vibrant life, enjoying the thrill of destruction.

Unfortunately, it was near his home; he would never make such a low-level mistake.

The Golden Light Asura suddenly felt something amiss; he felt a bit bad, wondering why he was thinking about so many unrelated things.

He was pondering this when suddenly alertness arose in his heart. At the same time, a blood-colored edge light appeared in his vision.

This sword was too sudden and came too fast.

The Golden Light Asura sensed something wrong, but his body couldn't make any effective reaction. This chapter was made possible by the community at *.

The sharp, unmatched blood-colored edge light flashed and pierced into the Golden Light Asura's forehead. The Aurora Sword Intent simultaneously struck the Golden Light Asura's spirit core.

Aurora Flash Stab, derived from the brilliance of the aurora, denotes speed to the extreme.

Such a quick sword, at the extreme, could surpass the speed of time and transcend the breadth of the cosmos.

As they say, 'when seen, it has already hit; when sensed, one is already dead.'

By the time the enemy saw the Sword Light, they had already been struck. By the time they sensed the sword, they were already dead.

This was why Gao Xuan dared to claim that he could sweep across the Silver Level; it was because his Spiritual Power was strong, and with the evolved Six-winged Celestial Cicada, he always took the first-move advantage.

Along with the Godslaying Sword, no Silver level expert could dodge his first strike.

The intangible, formless Godslaying Sword was also the guarantee of the Aurora Sword Technique being exhibited to its extreme. If using the Hongyi Sword, the Aurora Sword would be at least three points slower.

Facing a top-tier assassin like the Golden Light Asura, even a little slow would allow the opponent to react.

Only the Godslaying Sword coupled with the Aurora Sword could ensure a hit in one strike.

The Golden Light Asura's body silently burst into a brilliant golden light, and the dazzling blood-colored edge light suddenly twisted and reflected back onto the sword-wielding Blood Shadow.

The Blood Shadow silently disintegrated upon receiving the reflected strike from the Blood Sword.

Turning into the resplendent golden light, the Golden Light Asura felt even more worried. He didn't know where the sword came from, nor what the other entity was. Was it death or life?

Everything changed too quickly, faster than he could react. The opponent's sword directly forced out the Golden Sun Mirror, and even more terrifying, the opponent's Sword Intent slashed at his spirit core. Although his consciousness was clear, he couldn't immediately operate Source Power.

Before the Golden Light Asura could figure it out, Gao Xuan had already emerged behind him, pressing his palm onto the scorching golden light as brilliant as the blazing sun.

With Gao Xuan's current Spiritual Power, combined with the Ice Sword Qi driven by the Celestial Dragon Eye, it was extremely overbearing.

The Golden Light Asura was in a completely passive state, lacking resistance against the Ice Sword Qi.

The Golden Sun Mirror's automatic power operation couldn't withstand the Ice Sword Qi. Consequently, the blazing sun's mass of golden light instantly solidified into a huge golden sphere.

The Godslaying Sword appeared in Gao Xuan's right hand, and with a flash of blood-colored edge light, it pierced through the condensed brilliant golden light.

This strike obliterated all consciousness of the Golden Light Asura.

The brilliant golden light vanished instantly, and the black shadow wrapped in the golden light was also obliterated into black smoke.

Only a palm-sized golden mirror remained, suspended in the air.

Gao Xuan collected the mirror and disappeared instantly.

The woman on the sailboat looked puzzled towards the beach; she seemed to have seen a flash of golden light just now. But looking again, she saw nothing.

She switched her sunglasses to long-distance observation mode, clearly presenting the beach over ten kilometers away in her view.

A sun umbrella, a recliner, and a small table with tea cups on it were all she saw.

Besides that, there was no one, nor any anomalies.

The woman shook her head, thinking she probably saw things wrong, and lost interest in looking anymore.
