Modern World's Martial Dao Human Immortal

The silver saddle shines on the white horse, swift as a shooting star.

Ten steps, one kill, a thousand miles without a trace.

At this moment, whether it was Jiang Sheng, Lv Jianfeng, Li Cunyu, Xu Dengfeng, Yue Xingzhou, or Liao Shanhe, Liao Ming, and others, the same lines of poetry flashed through their minds simultaneously.

As natural as the clouds, as smooth as flowing water!

As unstoppable as splitting bamboo!

His gallant figure cutting through the wind!

Facing two Martial Saints and fighting them two against one, he managed to kill both in the blink of an eye with such ease—it was like dry weeds meeting a fierce flame!

Even though the process was fraught with danger, this resolute courage to confront his fears head-on fully reflected Alkaid's absolute confidence in his own strength!

Such strength!

Such audacity!

Such charisma!

And to top it all off, this scene unfolded with a nineteen-year-old youth, whose brilliance, paired with his youthful vigor, seemed like a sun rising in everyone's awestruck eyes, climbing swiftly into the heavens, radiating its magnificent light, spreading warmth and brightness to every corner of the world.

The light he transformed into would illuminate the world.

...

Having just slain Liao Zhenguo with a swift draw of his sword, Alkaid didn't hesitate for a moment. He immediately turned around and charged towards Liao Shanhe.

That chilling aura and murderous intent that enveloped him brought a bone-deep cold that jolted the equally stunned Liao Shanhe back to reality.

Just now...

It was their Liao Family's Martial Saint who had died!

The very foundation of their Liao Family's reign, which intimidated all corners of Dayu Country!

But now was not the time for him to grieve or be astounded.

Seeing Alkaid charging at him with his sword, Liao Shanhe retreated explosively and commanded the others around him with a fierce shout, "Stop him! Stop him!"

Those living in the Liao Family's Royal Palace were all fiercely loyal.

Instantly, several Grandmasters along with a dozen fully-armed martial masters surged forward to fight.

However, before they could intercept Alkaid, the equally alert Lv Jianfeng, Jiang Sheng, Yue Xingzhou, and the other nine Grandmasters had already valiantly stepped forward, boldly confronting this elite armed force.

"Lv Jianfeng, Jiang Sheng! This child's strength is too great; he cannot be left alive. If you kill me, you will live in his shadow for the rest of your lives..."

Liao Shanhe shouted emphatically as he retreated.

However...

The fully-armored Lv Jianfeng, Jiang Sheng, and others didn't reply with a single word.

Being recognized was one thing, but whether they admitted it was quite another.

The nine Grandmasters went all out, clashing instantly with the elite force and the Royal Family's experts who had rushed over.

The flash of blades, the shadow of swords, the roar of spears, and the screams mingled in an instant!

But none of this affected Alkaid, striding like a comet.

Under full-speed assault, the distance of less than a hundred meters between him and Liao Shanhe was crossed in a matter of seconds.

However, just as Alkaid chased inside, he saw Liao Shanhe suddenly dart at full speed to the other side.

In a room on the second floor, a door burst open abruptly, and a heavy Gatling gun on a stand—or perhaps a cannon—was quickly rolled out.

A brawny man manned the gun barrel, aiming directly at the fast-approaching Alkaid.

"Fire!"

Almost simultaneously, Liao Shanhe's voice sounded.

"Whoosh!"

In that instant, Alkaid drew his sword.

He struck from midair.

The direction of his sword pointed straight at the muscular man operating the gun.

But, with a gap of no less than twenty meters between them, not even the mightiest Martial Saint could shoot a target dead through such a distance.

Even throwing a sword might not be timely.

This seemed like a futile last stand.

Yet, what seemed to Liao Shanhe a pointless final thrust that couldn't possibly kill anyone appeared to the martial master pushing the heavy gun as a streak of sword light tearing through the void, carrying terrifying, scorching fierceness, hurtling towards him.

"Ah!"

Under an inescapable terror stemming from the depths of his soul, he couldn't help but let out an uncontrollable scream.

The next moment...

The scream stopped abruptly.

The unharmed martial master fell on his back.

He crashed to the ground.

Although he wasn't dead, his thoughts nearly ceased to function.

This technique...

"Divine Intent! Divine Intent! This is Divine Intent!"

Liao Shanhe's eyes widened in disbelief.

The strike wasn't any Sword Gang or Sword Qi, but rather Divine Intent fused into the sword, bursting forth through swordsmanship, forming a Sword Intent that directly aimed to slice the soul.

Divine Intent turned into Sword Intent to kill a martial master twenty meters away!?

This was nothing short of a near-perfect execution of Divine Intent!

Earlier, Alkaid had demonstrated the might of a Martial Saint in his two-on-one battle, destroying Liao Zhenguo, the Sea-Calming Divine Needle of their Liao Family, and Bian Liancheng, who was staunchly loyal to the Liao Family. This had already made him feel as if the sky was falling.

But now...

He had even demonstrated a domain of Divine Intent that only a God Realm Martial Saint could perform!

This...

"How is this possible!?"

"Whoosh!"

While the Liao Family head felt as if his world was being overturned, the sound of something cutting through the air rang out.

As he heard the sound, he thought he caught a glimpse of a faint shadow from the corner of his eye.

But the shadow was too elusive and transparent; he couldn't catch it clearly. Driven by instinct, he spun his body rapidly.

Mid-turn, he felt as if a bullet had struck his waist.

Despite wearing a comfortable, breathable, soft, bulletproof, and fireproof inner armor, he still felt an unprecedented pain coursing through his entire body like electricity.

Under this electric shock of pain, he suddenly realized...

He had lost all sensation in his lower body.

Only then did he discover that an almost entirely transparent short sword had penetrated his waist, ruthlessly destroying the spinal nerves in that area.

Chengying Sword.

This sword...

It was aimed at the vital point of his heart.

But as it shot towards his heart, it seemed to have anticipated all the angles he could dodge, blocking off any space for him to escape this strike.

As a result, even though he dodged swiftly, avoiding a sword thrust through his heart, he still couldn't avoid being hit in a critical spot.

The sudden twist of his body, due to the severing of his spinal nerves, lost control and he fell to the ground involuntarily.

"Bang."

Liao Shanhe looked up in horror, just in time to see Alkaid taking a step forward, appearing in front of him.

"So, you're afraid of the Rebirth Society, but not of me?"

His voice rang out at the same time.

Liao Shanhe's pupils shrank.

Before Zhao Sheng died, the Liao Family could claim ignorance, but by killing Zhao Sheng, Alkaid had already demonstrated his strength...

Scared?

A nineteen-year-old Martial Saint!?

Even...

A Divine Intent Martial Saint!?

Afraid.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

But the Rebirth Society...

Is even more terrifying.

"You... you can't kill me, once you do, Dayu Country's peaceful environment will be shattered, inevitably plunging into civil war, by then you don't know how many people because of you will be displaced, their families destroyed and their lives lost..."

He spoke rapidly.

"Perhaps, you are overestimating the Liao Family's significance."

Alkaid, with an expressionless face, raised the Divine Shadow Sword in his hand.

Watching Alkaid's determined eyes, in that moment, Liao Shanhe finally fell into despair.

Why!? Why has it come to this!?

To avoid offending the Rebirth Society, their Liao Family had continually compromised, been utterly submissive, and turned a blind eye to all their own actions, but why, still, did they end up with this fate?

"I can't accept this! I won't accept this!"

Liao Shanhe glared at Alkaid, a hint of madness in his eyes: "Do you think you can defeat the Rebirth Society? This is pushing Dayu towards doom! You have no idea what kind of terrifying presence you are defying! Hahaha... I will die, you... will also die!

Everyone will die! Let destruction come, hahaha, let everything be destroyed..."

"Shh!"

The Divine Shadow Sword, raised high, plunged down in an instant, piercing Liao Shanhe's skull.

The mad screaming came to an abrupt end...

"I will see for myself."

Alkaid withdrew his sword and at the same time took out the Soul Capturing Orb, capturing the Remnant Soul of the Liao Family Head into it.

Theoretically, Liao Zhenguo would know more.

Because he was a Martial Saint.

When top forces are involved in major meetings, it's not about the capacity of the attendees that matters, but their status.

If you don't have the status, they simply can't be bothered with you.

And this so-called status is not determined by what position you hold or what lineage you have, it depends solely on strength.

Or to put it another way...

Life Level!

At meetings of the Martial Saint Level, even Grandmasters with high status have no qualifications to join.

Even if that Martial Saint is just a cultivation fanatic who doesn't understand anything about worldly affairs.

However, the Liao Family was relatively united internally, and Liao Zhenguo would essentially share the information he knew with Liao Shanhe, the Family Head; therefore, extracting information from Liao Shanhe's Soul Fragment would not be much less effective.

"Tap, tap, tap!"

The sound of hurried footsteps approached.

Lv Jianfeng, Jiang Sheng, and others quickly rushed in.

When they saw Liao Shanhe's body had become a corpse, they paused simultaneously.

Although they knew that with the deaths of Liao Zhenguo and Bian Liancheng, the Liao Family was essentially done for.

But those two Martial Saints...

Still felt a layer of distance from them.

On the other hand, they had the most contact and communication with Liao Shanhe.

Seeing him dead here now, they too felt a tinge of wistfulness.

Who would have thought that the demise of the mighty Dayu Royal Family would not be due to governance issues being overturned by other powers, but by offending a mere nineteen-year-old youth.

"Alright, it's not time to relax yet, continue to eliminate the remnants."

Alkaid said.

He then turned to Jiang Sheng, "What about Kong Fang?"

"According to the information we have, he is leading people towards the Royal Palace... intending to come to the rescue..."

Jiang Sheng said, pausing in his speech: "Your Excellency Alkaid, you killed Liao Zhenguo and Bian Liancheng too quickly, he probably still thinks the situation is unresolved and wants to turn the tide."

Alkaid nodded his head.

For a Martial Saint to think this way wasn't surprising.

Especially in small to medium-sized countries, there had been more than one instance where during internal coups, a Martial Saint saved the day by their own strength.

"I'll take care of it, to prevent it from becoming a hidden danger."

Alkaid declared.

Then, as if something occurred to him, he spoke to Yue Xingzhou, "Go through the Royal Palace, everyone else, hunt down the other core members of the Royal Family."

Yue Xingzhou, Jiang Sheng, Lv Jianfeng, and the others all nodded.

They had no objections to Alkaid's instructions for Yue Xingzhou to tally up the spoils of the Royal Palace.

Alkaid's feat of effortlessly killing two Martial Saints, one against two, was fresh in their memory; his formidable strength had thoroughly subdued these Grandmasters.

The key is...

He's only nineteen!

With such strength at nineteen, what heights will he reach in the future!?

The Royal Treasury was bound to be full of treasures, but to offend such a promising genius who was more terrifying than the Liao Family, for mere profits, was clearly an unwise act.

"Leave it to us."

"Not everything requires the personal effort of Your Excellency Alkaid, some remnants are still within our capacity to handle."

"Please rest assured, Your Excellency Alkaid, we have already stationed people at key locations in ambush; the Liao Family members cannot escape."

Lv Jianfeng, Jiang Sheng, and the others all spoke up.

With a nod, Alkaid stepped out and left.
