Modern World's Martial Dao Human Immortal

"Swoosh!"

Alkaid, in Unity of Man and Sword, streaked past a Grandmaster blocking his path like a stream of light.

The sword passed, and the man was split apart.

The intercepting Grandmaster was decapitated on the spot.

As he reached the vicinity of the True Cultivation Hall, where strong presences were concentrated, before he could bash through the door, a red dot had already approached him first, seemingly...

...eager to open the door and actively face the battle.

"Are the people of the Red Star Empire all this valorous?"

Just like Shangguan Jinlong, who had sensed the danger and opted to rely on his strength to face him head-on, disregarding his advantageous position deep within the stronghold with overwhelming numbers.

Now...

This Martial Saint, or perhaps a Divine Intent Martial Saint, stationed at the Red Star Imperial Palace, was doing the same!?

Especially in the face of combat, the fact that the four red dots, each representing at least a Martial Saint, didn't act in unison but allowed one to meet him head-on, seemingly wished for a fair one-on-one duel?

"Well, backed by three beings of at least Martial Saint Level, and perhaps even a Divine Intent Martial Saint or a Primordial Chaos Martial Saint in support, they indeed have the confidence to face the enemy alone, but..."

What Alkaid desired was a swift and decisive battle.

He would kill his opponent as quickly as possible, not hesitating until it came to a life-and-death situation.

His combat with the opponent was perilous to the extreme; deciding life and death also happened in a fleeting moment.

Just like this moment...

Whether this Martial Saint was arrogantly overconfident or possessed unwavering faith in his abilities, to Alkaid, it made no difference.

Almost the instant he pushed through the door, the vigor beneath Alkaid's feet exploded fiercely.

Star Touch!

More than just Star Touch!

Seeking a swift victory, he activated Heavenly Demon Disintegration once more, pushing his physical strength beyond the current limits of his body!

His current Realm was the Ninth Rank Star Transformation...

Although in terms of strength, he was far from a True Dragon of the Divine Demon Body Refining Ninth Heavens, his vast experience and realm understanding allowed him to fully comprehend what kind of power the Star Transformation, Domain, and Furnace Refinement Realm Celestial possessed.

Moreover, his realm far surpassed any Divine Intent Martial Saint, making it clear to him the limits of his body's power burst.

Thus, when that twenty-one-year-old prodigy from the Jiang Family, confident, pushed open the door to confront the audacious intruder in their Imperial Capital Palace, what he saw was a figure that had already broken through the guard cordon and was charging at him.

The moment he saw Alkaid, an indescribable terror surged from the depths of his heart.

It was like how small animals panic and run amok when they sense an earthquake approaching.

Jiang Xuntian, as a Divine Intent Martial Saint, similarly felt an oppressive and palpitation-inducing sensation.

Yet upon seeing Alkaid, he couldn't discern why this feeling arose.

Until...

As his life force locked onto Alkaid charging toward him, through Divine Intent connection, he sensed it.

A volcano.

An ancient volcano that had been dormant for hundreds, thousands, even tens of thousands of years, seemed to be releasing all the energy it had accumulated over the years.

Endless magma erupted, forming a sky-covering dense smoke and a terrifying lava that burnt everything, crashing toward him like a tsunami.

This fear, this palpitation, this horror...

It was like being trapped in an eternal nightmare, and no matter how he struggled, how he resisted, how he cried out, he could only watch as this infernal nightmare-scene grew closer and closer...

Eventually, all turned into a reluctant scream.

"No!"

He seemed to possess some kind of magical artifact that allowed him to forcefully break away from this nightmarish stun state.

As a Divine Intent Martial Saint, he also gathered the last bit of courage and swung his sword in vain desperation...

"Boom!"

A powerful vigor, unimaginable for a Martial Saint, overwhelmed and crushed him.

The blades met, and Jiang Xuntian's sword was knocked out of his hand and flung away.

A complete rout.

The next moment, the Divine Shadow Sword that had thwarted Jiang Xuntian's final desperate strike, with a shriek that tore through the air, pierced through the head of this Jiang Family prodigy like a bolt from a crossbow.

Although during the piercing, his body released a blue light similar to Shangguan Jinlong's, which even made the body of the Divine Shadow Sword tremble with the impact,

With the lesson learned from Shangguan Jinlong, the thrust from Alkaid had already accounted for this factor.

So much so that the protective magical weapon this time...

Could not perfectly achieve its protective effect.

An encounter.

In just one encounter, the skirmish ended with the Divine Shadow Sword shattering Jiang Xuntian's entire head.

Jiang Shengtian, Jiang Ruolong, and Qi Renjie, who had just opened the door with smiles, planning to watch the Jiang Family's True Dragon display his might,

The result...

Was it over?

Watching Jiang Xuntian's head shatter and fall stiffly backward with momentum, Jiang Shengtian, Jiang Ruolong, and Qi Renjie stood stunned on the spot.

Immediately after, an unprecedented rage, like wildfire spreading through grasslands, filled every nook and cranny of their beings.

"Xuntian! No!"

"How dare you!" Your next journey awaits at empire

"You really deserve to die!"

The three high-ranking members of the Red Star Imperial Family almost simultaneously fell into an uncontainable state of fury.

However, before their anger could translate into action, Alkaid, who had shattered Jiang Xuntian's skull with a sword, had already charged toward them again without any hesitation.

The immense pressure of his full-speed figure stirred up a fierce whirlwind at the doorway,

This intense pressure instantly snapped Jiang Shengtian, Jiang Ruolong, and Qi Renjie out of their raging state.

"Kill!"

Accompanied by the most resolute and quickest reaction, Jiang Shengtian's low roar, a belt on his body sprang out, transforming into a fine sword with flowing blue light, striking out like a venomous snake.

Language always has power.

Many people, caught in shock and bewilderment, would involuntarily follow the commands in someone else's sudden shout.

This is a passive activation of "Unity of Word and Deed."

That's why, when witnessing the shocking impact of Alkaid's single stroke slaying Jiang Xuntian, Jiang Shengtian instinctively used this method to stimulate combat willingness, awaken his bodily potential, and forcibly switched his state from shock-induced rigidity to a state of agitation.

"Swish!"

The flickering sword light of the Divine Shadow Sword was instantly enveloped by this venomous snake-like blue fine sword, accompanied by Jiang Shengtian's fierce tug, seemingly to pull the Divine Shadow Sword out of Alkaid's hands to disarm him.

And on the other side...

Only half a beat slower in reaction, but without any hesitation in action, Jiang Ruolong and Qi Renjie followed closely with their attack.

Once Alkaid was disarmed by Jiang Shengtian, what awaited him would be a thunderous joint strike from the two.

This kind of tacit understanding, this kind of coordination...

Fully demonstrated the quick reaction speed of the three Martial Saints.

Facing such a precisely coordinated attack with no gaps, not to mention a Divine Intent Martial Saint of the same realm, even a Primordial Chaos Martial Saint had no choice but to retreat explosively to escape their fierce onset immediately.

After all, besides the longevity and extended physical strength brought by the Flawless True Body, the largest advantage of a Primordial Chaos Martial Saint compared to a Divine Intent Martial Saint is not significant in burst and upper limit enhancements.

Unfortunately...

The perfect coordinated attack of the three encountered a problem immediately.

The fine sword that had enveloped the Divine Shadow Sword suddenly jerked as Jiang Shengtian pulled...

But he couldn't move it!

The Divine Shadow Sword held in Alkaid's hand was like an arm extended by a divine demon, containing an irresistible colossal force.

Completely immovable!

Even Jiang Shengtian himself, in this pull, lost his balance and slightly tilted towards Alkaid's figure.

This overpowering sensation...

Caused Jiang Shengtian's face to change dramatically.

At this moment, it was as if he, at the Grandmaster Realm, was trying to snatch the weapon of a Martial Saint with his own strength.

But he wasn't just a Grandmaster, he was a Divine Intent Martial Saint.

The opponent capable of giving him such a strong sensation of power disparity could only be a Celestial!

The man dressed in the battle garment...

A Celestial!?

"Impossible!"

Jiang Shengtian's pupils shrank drastically.

The sensors in Qi Renjie's hand had clearly detected it; he was only a Divine Intent Martial Saint!

How could a Divine Intent Martial Saint possess such power!

"Boom!"

The fine sword, wrapped around the Divine Shadow Sword, vibrated violently.

The next moment, the entire fine sword was shockingly sent flying, and Jiang Shengtian watched as the Divine Shadow Sword once again pierced through the air, striking towards him.

Decisive action.

Jiang Shengtian instantly abandoned his sword and retreated explosively.

Giving the battlefield over to Jiang Ruolong and Qi Renjie who were right behind him in the attack.

Facing their joint attack, Alkaid took a deep breath and then, with a low roar through the resonance of the Life Force Field, burst forth vehemently.

On Alkaid's body, it seemed as though a visually perceptible transparent ripple was rippling outwards.

"Overawe!"

The ripple swept across, merely affecting within one or two meters around him.

But Qi Renjie and Jiang Ruolong, those who were swept by this ripple, both felt an indescribably oppressive surge overwhelm their bodies, causing their convictions and willpower to immensely dampen.

This dampened fighting spirit naturally affected the circulation of their vigor, also involuntarily slowing their actions by half a beat.

This was Alkaid's technique, derived from his encounter with Leng Tianfeng combined with his own understanding of the Life Force Field and the Heavenly Human Realm.

Because it was a brief moment, he wasn't able to directly manipulate and hypnotize others' essence like Leng Tianfeng, leading others' spirits and will to collapse and sink towards his attacking point.

But...

Using the Life Force Field as an amplifier to interfere with the opponent's circulation of vigor at close range was already effortless.

Unless the opponent's Divine Intent was immensely powerful or they had cultivated a Flawless True Body capable of locking down any slightest movement of their own vigor...

They couldn't possibly resist it.

Like now, when Jiang Ruolong and Qi Renjie, delayed by half a beat, realized the anomaly and tried to rekindle their fighting spirit, Alkaid had already swiftly dodged Qi Renjie's attack trajectory, while the sword light of the Divine Shadow Sword swiftly swept across Jiang Ruolong's neck.

Due to the overwhelming vigor contained in the Jianfeng, bursting forth as Sword Gang, Jiang Ruolong, despite also possessing a Protective Magical Weapon, was unable to activate even a fraction of its potential.

The deep blue protective light shattered upon contact.

Jiang Ruolong struggled desperately to dodge this sword Jianfeng, but...

The vigor contained within the Jianfeng was too ferocious!

Though it was merely a fleeting sword strike, which by all logic should have left only a blood mark, with the bursting of vigor contained in the Jianfeng, half of Jiang Ruolong's neck was directly torn apart by the Sword Gang.

Just like flesh grazed by an anti-material sniper rifle bullet.

Touch it and you die.

There's no such thing as a mere injury.
