The Heaven and Water Sword Intent allows his Source Power to merge with the Hongyi Sword, maximizing the power of the Hongyi Sword.

In just a short minute, Gao Xuan completed a rather exaggerated upgrade.

Gao Xuan wasn't too concerned about this. With his wisdom and knowledge, upgrading was easy.

The real rarity was still the Heaven and Water Sword Intent.

He originally thought his talent in Sword Dao was mediocre, but now it seems he wasn't entirely without merit.

Of course, given his wisdom and insight as a Golden Sword Saint, comprehending a Sword Intent from above is not too exaggerated.

The Heaven and Water Sword Intent was just a fledgling form, fitting his current state, far from mature and perfect.

Gao Xuan was very pleased. He could only boast to Yun Qingshang, "I comprehended the Heaven and Water Sword Intent myself, pretty impressive, right?"

Yun Qingshang nodded again.

"Praise me..."

Gao Xuan wanted to sigh. Yun Qingshang was good in every way, just not fond of talking. At this critical moment, the atmosphere couldn't be stirred up. It greatly diminished his sense of success.

"Impressive."

Yun Qingshang's praise was dull. Her attitude was completely like going through the motions, almost perfunctory.

"Thank you for your insincere compliment."

Gao Xuan quipped, but the enemies outside were already preparing to attack. He didn't have time to chat further with Yun Qingshang. "Wait for me."

Gao Xuan casually walked out of the bar door with his sword, immediately facing two Exoskeleton Armors wielding Eight-Barreled Vulcan Cannons firing at him.

The rotating eight barrels frantically spewed bullets outward, converging into a metal storm of two hundred rounds per second centered on Gao Xuan.

Gao Xuan casually pulled out the Hongyi Sword and spun it, the Ming Che Sword Light unfolding like a circular mirror before him.

The metal bullets traveling at a speed of two thousand meters per second were silently swallowed by the mirror-like sword light. Not even a ripple was stirred.

The many Lan Family experts watching were all stunned.

The wonder of Gao Xuan's Sword Intent, the height of his Sword Qi, and the strength of his Sword Artifact were fully displayed in this one sword.

Lan Changkong and Lan Guangheng both had extremely grave expressions. They now deeply regretted it. Had they known Gao Xuan was so formidable, they would have been much more cautious.

Even if they were to act, they would have been more thoroughly prepared.

Now, however, it was a bit awkward. Gao Xuan's swordsmanship was too strong. This group of theirs might not kill the other party. Since they had already made a move, they couldn't give up halfway.

Because the reasons for their actions were not legitimate. Only by taking down Gao Xuan could they provide a reasonable explanation externally.

Moreover, although Gao Xuan was strong, he wasn't unbeatable.

Lan Changkong and Lan Guangheng also dared not delay too long. Although Starfish Island was their Lan Family's territory, representatives from various Noble Families were on the island now. Too many people were gathered.

More troublesome was that Defense Army Commander Xiao Cheng was also present.

Once Xiao Cheng arrived, they truly wouldn't be able to bring it to an end.

Thus, they couldn't hesitate any further. They must now put every effort into killing Gao Xuan. There were no other options.

Giving up halfway would be true incompetence.

People wouldn't mock evil and cruelty, only laugh at the incompetent.

Lan Changkong said to Lan Guangheng, "That sword just now must have been Gao Xuan's ace move. He probably can't use it again in the short term!"

"I think so too." Lan Guangheng nodded in agreement.

Gao Xuan's swordplay just now was too fierce. Even Exoskeleton Armors were like tofu under his sword, easily sliced apart.

Both of them, Great Sword Heroes, were forced back by Gao Xuan's sword edge.

It's certain that Gao Xuan must have exerted all his might for such a mighty force.

Unfortunately, the two were frightened just now and fled in panic. They missed a precious battle opportunity.

"No matter the cost, kill him!"

Lan Changkong issued a death order over the communication channel, with twelve members of the Armor Squad dividing into four batches to assault Gao Xuan in layers.

Among them, two heavy firepower hands at the front maintained a high-speed shooting state.

The terrifying firing rate of the Vulcan Cannons meant their external ammo boxes would soon be out of bullets. They were just barely containing him for now.

Seeing the Exoskeleton Armor Squad acting collectively, Lan Chang'an and Lan Guangheng also charged towards Gao Xuan with sword control.

The two moved in arcs, flanking Gao Xuan from left and right. They also took care to hide behind the assault Exoskeleton Squad, extremely insidious.

This kind of stealth attack is difficult to hide from a Sword Hero's senses. Following behind the Exoskeleton Armor Squad was mainly to deplete Gao Xuan's combat power and seek out his flaws.

The two Silver Sword Heroes thought well and had high-level tactics.

The only thing they hadn't anticipated was that Gao Xuan's swordsmanship was far stronger than they had imagined.

As three pieces of Exoskeleton Armor pounced forward, Gao Xuan drew the Hongyi Sword, splitting left and right. The autumn-water-like sword edge easily cut through the Exoskeleton Armor.

The three pieces of Exoskeleton Armor split into two in mid-air. The bodies within the heavy metal armor were also cleaved into two halves, with metal armor and flesh flying together in the air, the flesh tracing a wondrous trajectory.

Lan Guangheng seized the opportunity to slash heavily at Gao Xuan's back. This sword carried immense force, a weight of ten thousand jun.

The golden Sword Qi surged on the heavy sword, emitting a thunderous roar.

The Thunderbolt Heavy Sword was a signature skill that Lan Guangheng used to dominate.

Gao Xuan made no attempt to dodge. He swung his sword to meet Lan Guangheng's Thunderbolt Sword. As the dual swords clashed, layer upon layer of Thunder Light erupted from the Thunderbolt Sword.

At the same time, Lan Changkong also thrust his sword towards Gao Xuan. His sword was like a venomous snake, sinister and cunning, directly targeting Gao Xuan's back of the head.

The combined attack of two great Silver Sword Heroes gave Gao Xuan virtually no chance.

But Gao Xuan's Hongyi Sword suddenly rippled like water, drawing the overwhelming Thunderbolt Sword to violently slash towards Lan Changkong's Green Snake Sword.

This change was exquisite, and even Lan Guangheng couldn't control it. He could only do his best to restrain his Sword Qi, but the heavy sword still slashed towards Lan Changkong.

Lan Changkong had no choice but to dodge aside. At this moment, with a turn of the Ming Che Sword Light, Lan Changkong's head flew up from nowhere.

The Biochemical Battle Armor was as vulnerable as thin paper under the Hongyi Sword.

On the other side, Lan Guangheng was aghast, but before he could withdraw his sword, with another turn of the Ming Che Sword Light, his face of horror followed by flying up.

In an instant of engagement, the heads of the two great Silver Sword Heroes flew off, their headless bodies spurting blood wildly.

This scene left the remaining Exoskeleton Armor Warriors in utter terror, losing all fighting spirit and retreating in haste.

Gao Xuan swung his sword calmly, with the Ming Che Sword Light extending forward.

From afar came a loud shout, "Stop!"

The Ming Che Sword Light vanished with a turn, and the Hongyi Sword gracefully returned to its sheath.

Gao Xuan stood with his sword gracefully, yet the remaining Exoskeleton Armor Warriors split into two halves.

Laning towards Gao Xuan with fury, Lan Chang'an pointed at Gao Xuan, shouting, "I told you to stop, yet you deliberately killed!"

Gao Xuan spoke unhurriedly, "I did kill deliberately, and what can you do about it?"

Lan Chang'an was even angrier but dared not act impulsively, nearly exploding on the spot.

Gao Xuan smiled, "I just like it when you're so angry yet can't do anything to me." He then added with concern, "We're all dignified people. You won't explode on the spot, will you? That would be such an ugly death..."
