Modern World's Martial Dao Human Immortal

"Zhao Sheng."

Alkaid leapt through the window.

The Battle Garment was worn underneath and couldn't be seen, but the Divine Shadow Sword was already in his hand.

"I've been looking for you for a long time."

"You?"

Zhao Sheng looked at Alkaid, "You have no one backing you?"

"And who is behind you? Rebirth Society? Red Star? Or... a race known as 'Demons'?"

Alkaid said.

When he mentioned the Rebirth Society and Red Star, Zhao Sheng's emotions did not change.

Only when the word 'Demons' was mentioned did a subtle flicker pass through his eyes.

"What is your identity, a disciple of Artifact Sect? A Descendant? A Loose Cultivator?"

He inquired, his tone slightly curious.

"No answer?"

Alkaid said, "Never mind, I'll find out for myself."

"How coincidental."

Zhao Sheng chuckled lightly, "I was thinking the same thing."

Although Alkaid's sudden appearance was somewhat unexpected...

But the result won't change.

The next moment, Zhao Sheng's body began to swell...

Similarly, Alkaid's figure burst forth violently.

He stepped forward to charge, and the moment his foot struck the ground, he seemed to transform into a saber-toothed tiger, combining the agility of feline creatures with the ferocity of prehistoric beasts. His swift strength surged through his body, making him strike like a tiger released from its cage.

As his figure launched an attack, the sword tip of the Divine Shadow Sword hummed softly. Its unique blade structure instantly tore through the tensile surface of the air several meters between them, creating a circle of white ripples at the edge of the blade that made this strike unexpectedly fast.

At this moment, his entire body's essence, energy, and spirit reached an unprecedented peak, even invoking the nascent Divine Intent he cultivated. This Divine Intent, combined with the ferocity of slaughtering dozens of Demons and the aura of having taken scores of lives, seemed to materialize into reality!

If a regular person had been standing in front of him, without him even issuing an attack, the terrifying ferocity imbued with Divine Intent alone would have been enough to cause an intense neurological shock in them, adrenaline to wildly secrete, the heart to overwork, ultimately leading to tearing of the cardiac muscle fibers, bleeding of the heart, and death.

A lion uses all its strength even when hunting a rabbit!

Against Zhao Sheng, a leader capable of commanding many Demons, Alkaid held not the slightest underestimation in his heart. His first move was an ultimate Combat Skill that almost exceeded the limits of his current Realm — the Formless Four Spirits!

Essence, spirit, and I.

"A glow-worm dares to compete with the bright moon!"

Although Zhao Sheng had only just started to transform, as soon as he made a move, the blood coursing through his body erupted like a volcano, reaching the maximum capacity this body could contain, expanding even more rapidly. His skin started to ooze a hint of blood-red.

This was an indicator of strength climbing to the ultimate peak.

This terrifying power was then extracted and condensed with sublime skill into fist energy. And as he lunged forward violently, facing the sword tip that Alkaid thrust out, he didn't dodge or avoid but hammered out a direct strike.

The illusions created by the Divine Shadow Sword did not cause him any disturbance.

This absolute control over vigor, this exquisite application of combat techniques, and his keen reaction to the situation far surpassed that of ordinary human Martial Artists.

If translated into progression of realms...

It would definitely be over 90%!

So much so, that Zhao Sheng, even though he had not yet completed his transformation to acquire the physique of a Martial Saint, could unleash a punch with a might...

That not only surpassed freshly advanced Martial Saints but went beyond them.

Especially the Divine Intent infused in his fist energy, was even more superior compared to Alkaid's.

Before the punch landed, the Divine Intents enshrined within their fist and sword collided first.

At this moment, Zong Yan who had just arrived outside the Xie Family estate, and Xie Yusheng inside the estate who had already heard some commotion, clearly sensed two terrifying presences originating from the direction of the main building.

One was like demon wings overshadowing the sky, its daunting presence sweeping over like a massive surging cloud, engulfing the void above the main building for tens of meters.

The other was like a supreme sword light, carrying the peerless edge that tore through the gloom, piercing straight to the heavens.

The instant the two forces collided, even people as strong as Zong Yan and Xie Yusheng couldn't help but feel shaken to their cores.

Deep within their Spiritual World, the scene played out as if Destruction itself had descended. Although the battle was not their own, they felt a chill run down their spines, their bodies involuntarily entering a fight-or-flight response.

It was as if they were being scrutinized by some supreme Demon God, their thoughts frozen in place, blank minds, even forgetting to breathe.

As for the ordinary people in the estate, unable to feel the deeper aspects of the confrontation, they suddenly felt inexplicably cold, accompanied by an indescribable weakness, as if they desperately needed to lie down and sleep right there and then.

Startling the Spirit!

This was the shocking effect on nearby life caused by the collision of Divine Intents.

If put into context a hundred years ago, it was like losing one's soul.

Not just ordinary people, Martial Artists, and even martial masters were affected.

The difference was only in intensity.

While everyone's thoughts were frozen, in a void of emptiness, Alkaid and Zhao Sheng's clash took place in the main building.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

"Boom!"

It was as if a muffled thunder erupted inside the main building!

"Crackle and pop!"

Fragile glass and porcelain shattered instantly amidst the roar, scattering debris in all directions.

Although both of them were just Grandmasters at this moment and hadn't yet broken through human limits, the destruction caused by their strongest blows still exceeded everyone's imagination.

In the main building.

The moment Zhao Sheng's demon-transformed arm's fist and the blade of the Divine Shadow Sword collided, a wild blast of vigor shot out, slashing in all directions.

The desks, lamps, and sofas within a few meters radius were being continuously cut by this shooting vigor, wood chips soaring into the air.

Waves of pressure spread with the energy, making even the curtains flutter loudly.

A study covering over thirty square meters was as if ravaged by a hurricane, countless books, decorations, antiques, and paintings were ground to dust by the high-frequency vibrating energy.

At first glance, the scene was a complete mess.

However, at this moment, neither of them paid attention to the changes brought about by the collision of their strikes.

In the instant their forces made contact, Zhao Sheng realized that Alkaid's swordsmanship was in no way inferior to his combat skills.

The vigor coursed through his body, even surpassing his own.

At that moment, he instantly recognized that his opponent might share the same origin as him, and his heart no longer held any trace of underestimation!

Or rather...

He had never underestimated Alkaid; his previous arrogance was merely a tactic to deceive his opponent.

When he realized that his all-out strike didn't get any advantage, he made a decisive decision and took a deep breath.

The blood within his body, fiery like flames, was completely redirected, surging crazily towards his thoroughly demonized arm. This vigorous force vibrated rapidly, and combined with the sturdiness of his demonized arm, he managed to tightly grasp the blade of Alkaid's Divine Shadow Sword!

The Divine Shadow Sword!

It was a Divine Weapon!

Yet, at this moment, it was tightly gripped in Zhao Sheng's hand.

His other arm swung violently while holding the Divine Shadow Sword, turning his palm into a fist powered by the twisting force from his waist, and he fiercely aimed a punch right at Alkaid's temple.

The fist hadn't arrived, but the momentum came first!

The compressed air from the force of the punch formed a violent roar, shaking Alkaid's eardrums.

"Die!"

With a low growl from Zhao Sheng, the combination of the vibration of his voice and the roaring of the punch created a frequency that penetrated into Alkaid's skull like a sharp needle.

This kind of combat skill...

Would cause anyone to instantly feel dizzy and weak, missing the best opportunity to fight back.

Unfortunately...

He was facing Alkaid.

This was a combat skill that could be said to push the limits of a Grandmaster or even the Marrow Cleansing Power of a Martial Saint to its extreme creativity...

"How dare you show off your petty skills before an expert," Alkaid said.

The next moment, a tiny spark seemed to ignite within Alkaid, as if exploding. This explosive power squeezed out all of his potential, filling his body with endless strength in every crevice of his limbs and bones.

This filling instantly changed Alkaid's own frequency.

It also dispersed the force formed by the resonance between the punch, his voice, and his own eardrums.

Point Star!

This was the Desperate Secret Technique derived from Alkaid's Perfection at Third Rank Grandmaster.

But he was obviously not using this secret technique just to break Zhao Sheng's combat skill at this moment.

Accompanied by the burst of power exceeding his physical limits, including the limit of Grandmasters, the blade of the Divine Shadow Sword gripped in his hand roared.

Under this vibration, the resonating force penetrated vehemently through Zhao Sheng's arm and blasted into his internal organs.

Formless Five Elements!

A straightforward application of the enemy's own methods against them.

The violent upheaval of his internal organs affected the entire operation of Zhao Sheng's bodily system.

Not only could the hand gripping the Divine Shadow Sword no longer hold onto the blade, but the punch originally meant to be a Fatal Kill on Alkaid also became half a beat slower.

Not good!

Zhao Sheng immediately realized the peril of the situation and retreated as fast as he could!

But...

It was too late!

In a life-and-death battle between equals, any mistake can become the key to a change in the outcome.

"Buzz! Buzz!"

A sword strike as mighty as a dragon!

The Divine Shadow Sword, having loosened from Zhao Sheng's grasp, shot forth like a dragon, instantly piercing through Zhao Sheng's heart.

Almost simultaneously, Alkaid's own body, weighing tens of kilograms, surged forward and upon coming into close quarters, he abruptly sidestepped and slammed into Zhao Sheng's shoulder, causing the punch aimed at Alkaid's temple to lose its force.

Not only that, the impact of the collision and Zhao Sheng's own force, as he tried to retreat explosively, combined, causing his body to spin and fly out involuntarily.

In the process of spinning and flying backward, the Divine Shadow Sword that pierced his body tore open a huge wound due to the impact's force and his own retreat.

Despite Alkaid's sword not having fully penetrated Zhao Sheng's body, the rotating force imposed on Zhao Sheng by the impact, coupled with the secondary damage through the Divine Shadow Sword, resulted in a lethal effect far greater than if the sword had passed completely through his body.

"Hisss!"

Bright red blood was scattered in the void as Zhao Sheng's body rotated 360 degrees in mid-air.

"You set a trap waiting for me to take the bait, yet you dared not to transform? Who gave you the courage!?" Alkaid said.

Without giving Zhao Sheng a chance to regain his balance in midair after a 360-degree spin, Alkaid's leg power erupted once more.

With his knees slightly bent and then snapping straight, he was like a cannonball fired from a gun, ferociously charging towards the retreating Zhao Sheng.

Before the Demon Leader had a chance to retaliate, the sword's blade penetrated his body again and, along with Alkaid's own charging impact, Zhao Sheng was slammed heavily against the wall!

"Bang!"

The wall cracked instantly!

But Zhao Sheng's body did not slide down.

Pinned against the wall, his partially demonized body was held in place by Alkaid who was wielding his swords with both hands.

The two were face to face, separated by barely three centimeters.

Alkaid just looked at the Demon Leader, whose eyes no longer held the assurance of victory, but rather unresolved anger and unwillingness...

Word by word!

"You and your subordinate alike... are nothing but arrogant and conceited fools!" Alkaid said.
