Yun Qingshang and Gao Xuan were from the same batch of students, and they were really close to each other, so she had a good understanding of what Gao Xuan’s capabilities were.

Out of the forty-nine students who’d graduated, Gao Xuan’s battle capabilities ranked in the bottom ten.

So, in a battle to the death with Gao Xuan, she was confident that she could finish Gao Xuan off within ten moves.

Just now, Gao Xuan had moved his sword twelve times and taken seven steps within 0.2 seconds.

Even though Yun Qingshang was equipped with the Crimson Heart, she hadn’t been able to see Gao Xuan’s intricate movements clearly.

She’d also been unable to get a good look at the sword in his hands. All she remembered was the incredibly sharp and cold blood-colored glow that had come from it.

It was no wonder that Gao Xuan had managed to kill Xu Hui. Faced with such quick swordplay, there was no way he could’ve survived.

When did Gao Xuan become so terrifying?

As an assassin who’d passed Hell’s Training, Yun Qingshang knew just how terrifying the new Gao Xuan was. He could even be described as horrifying.

Gao Xuan charismatically twirled the God Slaying Sword in the air twice and then lowered his head slightly. His long fringe dropped down and obscured his sunglasses. He had the look of a melancholic swordsman. “So how did I look? Was I handsome?”

Without waiting for Yun Qingshang to respond, Gao Xuan continued, “You have to say what you really think. You can’t praise me just because I’m your friend. Be objective and fair. Judge me based on what I did just now.”

“Handsome.” Yun Qingshang thought for a moment before adding, “But I’d think you more handsome if you’d just shut your mouth.”

“Actually, my heart is cold and calm, and my mind is full of wisdom. However, my mouth doesn’t listen to my brain or say what’s on my heart. It’s extremely frustrating…”

Gao Xuan was really frustrated. The Six-Winged Heavenly Cicada was to blame for this.

His problem was he couldn’t explain it clearly.

But Yun Qingshang believed Gao Xuan’s explanation.

Gao Xuan had been an extremely talkative person ever since he was six years old. The entire base knew that he was a chatterbox.

Perhaps it was because he was such a chatterbox that people subconsciously overlooked him.

What threat could a chatterbox pose to them? Everyone subconsciously thought that way.

Yun Qingshang had thought the same until Gao Xuan had saved her life.

From then on, Yun Qingshang had realized just how powerful Gao Xuan really was.

Gao Xuan’s sinister thoughts, craftiness, and mercilessness were hidden behind his child-like, chatty exterior.

A seeming six-year-old child with the capability of scheming to harm someone was really terrifying.

Therefore, Yun Qingshang calmly accepted everything that had taken place before her just now when Gao Xuan had displayed his incredible sword technique.

“Vulture is about to die…”

“What do we do next?” Yun Qingshang asked Gao Xuan.

Gao Xuan had told her to keep calm and not do anything reckless. In the end, he’d killed the entire group of guards, leaving Yun Qingshang somewhat speechless.

Vulture tightly clutched his throat with his undamaged left hand. However, he couldn’t stop the blood that was spewing from it.

However, his life force was still strong. He was still conscious despite all the blood he’d lost.

But the pain of suffocation had made his face turn a purple-black, and his small eyes were bulging. It looked like he wouldn’t last much longer.

The rest of the guards had already died.

Gao Xuan tapped on Vulture’s head with the base of his scabbard and said, “Study his appearance and copy him using the Crimson Heart. That shouldn’t be a problem for you, right?”

Yun Qingshang’s brow furrowed a little. Honestly, it wouldn’t be easy.

The Crimson Heart allowed her to shapeshift at will. However, just what form she’d end up in depended on her abilities.

Fortunately, Yun Qingshang had once learned the art of disguise and had gotten pretty good at it. She could quickly capture a person’s facial features and physique and imitate them.

It’d be even easier for her to disguise herself now that she had the Crimson Heart, which allowed her to transform freely.

Yun Qingshang looked at Vulture’s face as she continually adjusted her appearance with the Crimson Heart.

Vulture, who was on the brink of death, looked on helplessly as Yun Qingshang’s face slowly transformed to look like his, and his eyes filled with shock.

“Hey, clasp your throat more tightly. Your blood’s spraying all over the place…”

Gao Xuan squatted down beside Vulture and asked passionately, “Are you about to suffocate? Look at your ugly face, so purple and red. Your yellow eyeballs are about to burst out of their sockets.”

“Is it uncomfortable? I wanted to let you live a few minutes more, but you sought your own death. I had no choice but to kill you!”

Vulture couldn’t speak, but he heard Gao Xuan clearly. The pain of suffocation made him wish he were dead, and Gao Xuan’s words made him furious.

“The worst kind of suffering a human can experience is suffocation. This is a rare opportunity. You only get the chance to experience this once. Don’t waste it.”

Gao Xuan rattled on until Vulture couldn’t take it anymore.

A minute later, Vulture’s legs twitched as his last breath left his body

Gao Xuan sighed regrettably. “You took care of me all these years. I never had the chance to repay you for that. You died so peacefully. How can I stand that?”

He continuously prodded Vulture’s head with his scabbard. “Look at your ugly expression. Do you really feel so indignant? Also, you’re so ugly. You’re an eyesore even in death, do you know that…”

“Stop moving him around.”

Yun Qingshang was almost done copying the head, and Gao Xuan prodding Vulture’s head was making her a little dizzy.

“I’m giving you a good look at it from all angles.”

Gao Xuan pointed at Vulture’s pudgy neck and said, “Look at this line of warts here. You didn’t copy that. Also this shoulder. He’s left-handed, so his left shoulder is thicker…”

Gao Xuan nitpicked Yun Qingshang the entire while, while Yun Qingshang humbly accepted his input.
