Yu Fei Hai is fifty-seven years old this year. According to the Alliance's average lifespan of 120 years, he is actually just entering middle age.

With the cultivation of a Tenth-level Swordsman, Yu Fei Hai can live at least up to 180 years.

Yu Fei Hai still has a long lifespan ahead of him. He also enjoys a very high quality of life, which naturally makes him value his life greatly.

Participating in the Blood Dragon Sword Assembly shows that he is even more ambitious about the future and wants to strive for higher levels. For this, he is willing to take risks for a chance.

The Blood Dragon Sword Assembly is extremely dangerous; before Yu Fei Hai came, he obtained considerable resource support from the Yu Family.

Among these resources was the Celestial King Heart-Protecting Pill. This top-grade medicine, reportedly traded from the Divine, can temporarily increase one's Spiritual Power and Constitution, tripling resistance to negative mental impacts.

The greatest danger in the Blood Dragon Cave isn't the competing swordsmen but the unknown, powerful, mysterious forces within the cave.

In the chaotic killings of the Blood Dragon Sword Assembly, maintaining rationality to make calm decisions is a huge advantage. Not to mention the improvement in constitution and spirit directly boosting his combat power.

Yu Fei Hai's goal is not to win the championship; he is merely using the chance of the Blood Dragon Sword Assembly to see if he can use the opportunity to break through levels.

The Blood Dragon Cave's space is vast, and it's not very difficult to find a place to hide.

The swordsmen participating in previous assemblies mostly lost their rationality, fought madly, resulting in such heavy casualties.

Yu Fei Hai had the same thought, hence he was in the mood to stay behind to observe Gao Xuan. Anyway, it was the same no matter where he hid. Staying behind turned out to be safer.

As a result, he witnessed the most shocking scene of his life.

More than thirty people, with at least fifteen swordsmen, were annihilated in an instant.

"Instant" might not be entirely accurate, as Yu Fei Hai calculated the time before and after was no more than 0.5 seconds.

The glimmering sword light flowed like autumn water, clear and long, like fleeting light, ethereal and dynamic. The water light intertwined as if waves floated upon the moon, real yet illusory, its transformations unpredictably high.

Such unparalleled swordsmanship, Yu Fei Hai had never seen before.

He had heard that the Golden Sword Saint could perform seemingly slow but truly swift sword techniques. However, he couldn't imagine how a Quick Sword could present such a slow demeanor.

Gao Xuan's sword was clearly a Quick Sword to the ultimate extreme, yet without a trace of speed, nor the fierce sharpness typical of swordsmen, but instead exuded an entirely composed and transcendent demeanor.

This was probably the legendary skill of the Golden Sword Saint.

More frightening was Gao Xuan's indifference after casually killing. He was not barbaric or ruthless, but rather adopted an almost divine indifference, overlooking everything.

In his eyes, those he killed were as insignificant as dust.

Yu Fei Hai's clear mind enabled him to promptly make a decision: Gao Xuan was an unmatched powerhouse whom he couldn't afford to offend.

He didn't know how powerful the other was, though killing him was easier than crushing an ant. Moreover, with Gao Xuan's mindset, he would definitely not mind killing him casually. Thefullseries

Once Yu Fei Hai figured this out, he humbled himself very quickly.

Actually, this was not difficult; given Gao Xuan's swordsmanship, if the other party was willing to teach, he would immediately bow down and acknowledge him as his master.

Gao Xuan didn't mind; if Yu Fei Hai wasn't smart, he would kill him, but if he was, he would spare his life.

As the King of Assassins, Gao Xuan never killed randomly. He always had a purpose and intent for his killings.

Beasts kill for hunting, for survival.

Like that group with Vulture, born evil, such people's existence only meant destruction. They were far inferior to beasts.

As destructive beings, they were unfit to live.

In Gao Xuan's view, these people didn't even count as the same kind. No matter how many he killed, he wouldn't hesitate.

However, after killing the group with Vulture, Gao Xuan clearly felt that more pure and spiritually exquisite Source Power gathered on him.

It was as if someone had extracted the essence of strength from Vulture and others and transferred it to him.

The Godslaying Sword had this special ability, and many marvels had similar abilities. So it wasn't considered strange.

However, having such changes in the environment of the Blood Dragon Cave was entirely due to the Alien God's rule.

Alternatively, one could consider the Blood Dragon Cave as a giant marvel. The Alien God is the core of the Blood Dragon Cave's law, making it easier to understand.

But this pure Source Power was very special, and Gao Xuan didn't want to absorb it into his body to avoid trouble. It was easy to consume, but spitting it out when trouble arose would be difficult.

Since he couldn't use the Godslaying Sword here, he straightforwardly gathered all this Source Power onto the Hongyi Sword.

Though the Hongyi Sword, crafted by a master, was a fine Sword Artifact, it was ultimately an ordinary Sword Artifact. It was far from the extraordinary level.

Gao Xuan didn't bother with slowly nurturing it and merely treated it as a daily-use sword.

With this Essence Blood Source Power feeding it, the Hongyi Sword's Source Power operation became noticeably more fluid and agile. At this rate, it indeed had the chance to become an Extraordinary Sword.

With this gain, Gao Xuan was in a good mood, thus improving his attitude towards Yu Fei Hai slightly.

Gao Xuan smiled and said: "We're colleagues, no need to be so polite."

Hearing Gao Xuan say this, Yu Fei Hai breathed a sigh of relief. He straightened his back and cautiously grinned: "Master Gao, I was blind before, please don't take offense."

"No offense taken."

Gao Xuan spoke slowly: "I'm a bit curious, why are you watching me?"

Yu Fei Hai smiled bitterly, as he genuinely had no purpose, merely staying out of curiosity to watch for some excitement.

Unexpectedly, this curiosity ended up landing him in the hands of Gao Xuan.

"Master Gao, I'm really just curious. I was also a bit worried about your safety..."

Yu Fei Hai had thick enough skin to put on an air of loyalty. He also knew in his heart, this person was no easy one to fool.
