King of Assassins

Chapter 1230: Chapter 751: Infinite Divine Power

White Ape Thousand Transformations is the foundation of the White Ape Sword. When a sword is wielded, it undergoes a thousand transformations, unpredictable.

The White Ape Lord watched the battle from the side, witnessing the Nine-headed Dragon King being slapped to death, aware of how formidable Gao Xuan was.

So, he immediately used his ultimate move.

A hundred thousand figures simultaneously stabbed at Gao Xuan from every angle and direction. These figures were not illusions, but the White Ape Lord instantaneously traversing the void a hundred thousand times, with each center point of traversal being Gao Xuan.

Thus, capable of instantly splitting into a hundred thousand.

This is akin to a hundred thousand White Ape Lords wielding swords at the same time. Imagine how powerful this move is.

The White Ape Lord roamed the world with this swordsmanship; even against superior opponents, he could retreat unscathed. Hence, aware of Gao Xuan’s unparalleled cultivation, he dared to draw his sword and attack.

"Good swordsmanship."

Gao Xuan silently praised, ranking Aoba first and this White Ape Lord second in swordsmanship.

With a twist of the Hongyi Sword, the perfected, flawless aqua-colored Sword Light enveloped Gao Xuan.

The hundred thousand thrusting Cold Light Sword Blades simultaneously pierced the aqua-colored Sword Light, which shattered like a bubble, while the hundred thousand thrusting sword blades also crumbled together.

A white flash, and the White Ape Lord reappeared opposite Gao Xuan. He held a four-foot white blade, his tiny red eyes blinking incessantly, his old face filled with doubt and surprise.

He finally couldn’t resist asking, "What kind of swordsmanship is this?"

Gao Xuan pondered and said, "Strictly speaking, it’s merely a sword technique secret, not to be called swordsmanship. This move can be named ’Transformation.’"

Though he hadn’t mastered the Cyan Leaf Sword, he had perfected the three strokes of Stab, Slash, and Transform.

The three strokes of the Cyan Leaf Sword and Water Heaven Sword seamlessly blended together, yet hadn’t truly integrated into a higher Sword Dao realm.

Nevertheless, it was enough against the White Ape Lord.

The White Ape Lord is a Swordsmanship Grandmaster; he calls himself the Eight Desolates’ First Sword Ape, not an exaggeration. At least in swordsmanship, he reigns over the Eight Desolates.

Gao Xuan uttered just one word, and the White Ape Lord grasped the true essence of Gao Xuan’s move.

"’Transformation,’ signifies change and resolution. Quite formidable..."

He found this move comparable to his White Ape Thousand Transformations, even purer in Sword Intent.

Rarely did he admire others in Sword Dao, but this time he felt some respect. This guy’s swordsmanship isn’t bad, now worthy of comparison.

The White Ape Lord has a monkey’s temper, unpredictable nature, swift emotional shifts. Moments ago, red-eyed and murderous, now he found Gao Xuan’s swordsmanship commendable, worthy of martial dialogue.

He pondered and said, "Apologize to me, and your past offenses can be forgotten. We can be friends."

Gao Xuan was slightly surprised. How did this monkey change his tune? "You’re not avenging the Nine-headed Dragon King anymore?"

"The Nine-headed Dragon King is my friend, and you are my friend too; I can’t meddle in your disputes."

The White Ape Lord spoke earnestly.

Gao Xuan chuckled, "You’re certainly loyal."

The White Ape Lord boasted gleefully, "Of course, my old buddies span the world. Even Yuan Qinglian is our friend."

He realized he spoke too boastfully and quickly added, "Both mentor and friend."

Gao Xuan looked at the White Ape Lord anew; although this old monkey wasn’t reliable, his swordsmanship was indeed excellent, no wonder Yuan Qinglian favored him.

Yet, the White Ape Lord surely exaggerated. Legend has it that Yuan Qinglian is extremely proud; how could he befriend such an unreliable white-haired old monkey?

Nonetheless, Gao Xuan certainly wouldn’t befriend the White Ape Lord, too troublesome.

Gao Xuan told the White Ape Lord, "I dislike apologizing and don’t wish to be friends with you. Let’s continue our exchange through swords."

The White Ape Lord flared with anger; offering to connect with you admits defeat, yet you refuse; courting death!

Frustrated, he waved his sword again, a hundred thousand white shadows danced across the air, repeating the White Ape Thousand Transformations.

Gao Xuan invigorated the Hongyi Sword, one sword transforming into ten thousand, ten thousand into a billion.

Instantly, the Swift Slash Sword Light filled the eight directions, disintegrating the intersecting hundred thousand white shadows into fragments with the aqua-colored Sword Light.

The White Ape Lord emerged from the void, arriving before Gao Xuan, his red eyes fixed on Gao Xuan: "Impressive swordsmanship, I’m not as good as you."

Now, the White Ape Lord’s body bore hundreds of thin, sharp sword marks, red as fire blood gradually seeping, staining his ragged long robe patch by patch.

Gao Xuan smiled and said, "Thank you for the praise, my swordsmanship is average, still seeking advice from my fellow Daoist."

"You’re so hypocritical, clearly your swordsmanship surpasses mine, why speak of asking for advice? Advice my ass. Fight again, and you’ll kill me."

Renowned for roaming freely, the White Ape Lord knew when to advance and retreat, fleeing swiftly. Realizing his swordsmanship fell short, he relinquished his fighting spirit.

Moreover, Gao Xuan possessed a strong Divine Artifact yet unused. Continuing the fight might lead to his demise at Gao Xuan’s hands.

The White Ape Lord bowed and said, "I’ll remember today’s humiliation, and it shall be avenged sooner or later. Goodbye."

Without waiting for Gao Xuan to speak, the White Ape Lord leapt into the void.

Just then, the Dark Gold Claw Blade formed a giant hand, suddenly reaching into the void, grabbing the White Ape Lord back.

The Eternal Celestial Dragon Claw, continuously upgraded, now a top-tier Earth Artifact.

Gao Xuan used the Eternal Celestial Dragon Claw to perform the Inversion of Heaven and Earth Technique, breaking the Celestial Ape Ascension of the White Ape Lord, directly grabbing him from the void.

The White Ape Lord encountered this situation for the first time; dazed, he gazed at the sharp dark gold giant claw gripping him, "Is this the Divine Artifact that killed the Nine-headed Dragon King? Impressive, impressive..."

He tried resisting, but the overpowering strength of the Dark Gold Claw Blade made him immediately abandon struggling.
