“Creak, creak, creak…”

The God Slaying Sword’s sharp blade sliced through the divers like it was cutting through tofu. It severed everything in its path.

Even though Gao Xuan hadn’t been able to bring back the power he’d achieved after a hundred years of bitter training, he still had the sword techniques that he’d ingrained in his memory.

He had cultivated his Extreme Light Sword Technique to the peak of the Gold Grade.

Even though his level of strength was extremely low, the sword technique’s immense perfectly brought out the strength in his body. It also brought out all of the advantages of the God Slaying Sword.

The reactions, actions, and thoughts of the captain and the rest of the group clearly appeared in Gao Xuan’s brain from the Six-Winged Heavenly Cicada.

In actuality, these divers were like scattered sand.

They weren’t organized in the face of an unexpected situation. Some of them wanted to retaliate, while others wanted to hide. They were a mess.

Gao Xuan didn’t need to analyze their actions. All he cared about was swinging his sword and cutting down everyone in the room.

The God Slaying Sword was a Miracle Item, and it didn’t have a physical form, which made it unbelievably fast. The Extreme Light Sword Technique was also lauded as the fastest sword technique in the world.

Gao Xuan had chosen to give up his eyes for the God Slaying Sword because the God Slaying Sword was the weapon most suitable for the Extreme Light Sword Technique.

The cabin quickly filled with the thick metallic stench of blood from the dismembered limbs.

He unleashed 13 strokes in 0.1 seconds. The divers didn’t have time to react before they were cut down and killed by the God Slaying Sword.

The captain, who was lying in the middle of a pile of limbs, wasn’t yet dead. He was glaring straight at Gao Xuan with his bull-like eyes. His expression was one of shock and fear.

The divers in the group all had guns, but they were cut down the moment Gao Xuan saw them before they had the opportunity to draw them.

This person’s sword technique was terrifying. However, the calm expression Gao Xuan wore when massacring the group made the captain even more terrified.

How could he have been so dumb as to think that he could steal money from a guy like this? He’d even wanted to kill him!

Gao Xuan leisurely sheathed his sword, then tilted his head to look at the captain.

From this angle, the captain could just see Gao Xuan’s shut eyes.

Even so, Gao Xuan’s unbelievably handsome face wasn’t affected by his closed eyes. In fact, it even added to his ineffable mystique.

Gao Xuan’s body was extremely clean, without a trace of blood.

“Do you know why I didn’t kill you with one strike? Because it’s so boring without an audience.”

Gao Xuan said, “I couldn’t find a single person to talk to during these ten days on the boat. I nearly suffocated to death.”

The captain said in a hurry, “Don’t kill me, don’t kill me. I can help you steer the boat. I can even help you register a new identity.”

Since Gao Xuan was smuggling himself from the Beiyang State to the Eastern State, he probably didn’t have a legal identity. The captain wasn’t a fool. He knew that he could only survive if he proved himself useful.

“Even though this boat is shabby, it has automatic steering. As for registering a new identity, your methods are too backward.”

Gao Xuan had chosen to stay on Pegasus Planet because he was extremely familiar with it.

Furthermore, the overall Source Power Level of Pegasus Planet was very low, which was very suitable for his current situation.

Some of the resources on this planet, at least the ones he knew about, also fit his current circumstances.

Thus, Gao Xuan intended to spend a few years on Pegasus Planet, at least until he finished university.

That was right. For some special reason, Gao Xuan had to go through university. This wasn’t a step he could skip.

Gao Xuan told the captain, “I didn’t want to kill you guys, but you sought your own deaths. I could only reluctantly enforce justice on behalf of the heavens.”

The captain was unusually remorseful. How could he have been so ignorant as to offend Gao Xuan?

Gao Xuan shook his head. “I was kidding. I’m not killing you to carry out justice on behalf of the heavens. What right do I have to do that? I’m killing you to carry out justice for myself. I’m killing all the troublemakers. Furthermore, you’re a Spirit Being, so you have to die.”

The captain’s eyes suddenly shone with an incandescent green light. He looked like an evil demon and was abnormally sinister.

“What’s the use of putting up an act? Spirit Beings are parasites. You don’t deserve to live.”

Spirit Beings completely fused with the human body when they took it over. Thus, Spirit Beings would die when the human body was killed. The captain’s current state was merely the result of a Spirit Being at the brink of death launching a mind attack.

Unfortunately, while the Spirit Being’s mind attack might be effective against an average person like the captain, it was completely laughable to use it against Gao Xuan.

The mind attack that the captain used the rest of his life to unleash didn’t deal any damage to Gao Xuan before he broke down. The green light in his eyes gradually became dull as he took his last breath.

Gao Xuan whipped out the God Slaying Sword and twirled it around in the air. The sword converted everyone into blood-colored light and absorbed them.

However, there was a speck of green light within the blood-colored rays of light. Gao Xuan picked out the speck of green light using the God Slaying Sword and realized that it was a green crystal the size of a grain of rice.

The green crystal looked fully transparent and shone with an eerie green light.

“Spirit Being Essence Crystal.”

Gao Xuan wasn’t surprised. The captain was a Spirit Being. Of course he would form an Essence Crystal after he died.

Low-level Spirit Beings couldn’t transfer to a different body once they’d fully occupied one.

Thus, after the captain was killed, the Spirit Being followed. A Spirit Being’s mind power would condense to form a Spirit Core after they died.

If the Spirit Core wasn’t destroyed, the Spirit Core could receive life force under suitable conditions and revive the Spirit Being.

As the Spirit Core was always hidden deep within the brain of the body, it was incredibly hard to spot. That made it such that many of the Spirit Beings that were killed would come back to life.

To a cultivator, the Spirit Core of a Spirit Being was a valuable item. It could be used to enhance their mind power and improve their compatibility with Source Power. It could even be used to forge unique Source Power items.

Gao Xuan placed the Spirit Core in his pocket. He had no use for the item, but he could let Yun Qingshang use it. This was an unexpected find.

The God Slaying Sword broke down the corpses and absorbed them, and the metallic stench of blood in the cabin instantly went away. All that was left on the floor were various metal items like waist buckles, lighters, handguns, etc.

Gao Xuan cleaned them up and tossed the items into the ocean.

There was a low-level optical computer in the cabin. The captain had pre-set the route a long time ago.

Gao Xuan checked out the route and stopped caring about it when he ascertained that there were no problems. He then headed to the divers’ room to finish off the three divers who were still asleep. He got rid of all potential threats.

When he returned to the room on the lower deck of the boat, Gao Xuan carried Yun Qingshang to the captain’s cabin upstairs and placed the spirit core between Yun Qingshang’s eyebrows.

A cultivator could easily absorb the spiritual qualities of a Spirit Core that didn’t have any consciousness.

The Source Power Node between Yun Qingshang’s eyebrows had already opened up. Her Source Power circulated on its own to absorb the Spirit Core.

Gao Xuan nodded. The small Spirit Core had completely opened up the Source Power Node between Yun Qingshang’s eyebrows.

The Source Power Node between a person’s eyebrows was one of the most important Source Power Nodes. Opening this node meant that a person had stepped into the fifth level. From that point on, the person would’ve surpassed the limits of a human body and activated a higher-level genetic sequence.
