When Alkaid burst into Shangguan Jinlong's study, the Divine Intent Martial Saint didn't hesitate for a mont and fired seven shots in rapid succession.
The ruthlessness and decisiveness of a superior were fully displayed in him.
Furthermore, the bullets in his handgun were clearly made of a special material. Their power far surpassed that of ordinary firearms, and even now, Alkaid, clad in a 5S-level Battle Garnt, had no intention of taking them head-on.
With several quick movents, six bullets passed by his body and fell into the void, leaving one inevitable bullet...
The Divine Shadow Sword slashed directly at it.
The fact proved he was right.
"Bang!"
As Alkaid slashed at the bullet fired by Shangguan Jinlong based on its trajectory and angle, striking it precisely, the high explosive contained within the bullet detonated, releasing a brilliant burst of fire mixed with blinding light.
In an instant, the study looked as though a flash grenade had been thrown into it.
The intense light made it impossible for him to look directly.
Almost as he was about to be blinded, the sound of sothing tearing through the air reached him.
Alkaid shifted his figure.
But then, the dangerous aura that swept over made him realize sothing.
Create a diversion with a false move.
The initial sound was a tactic to create a diversion.
As he shifted his figure, a fierce and terrifying force surged towards him.
Shangguan Jinlong...
had taken the opportunity while Alkaid was distracted by the flash grenade to counter-attack head-on.
Martial artists always believed, the most powerful weapon in the world was themselves.
As a Divine Intent Martial Saint, Shangguan Jinlong was no exception.
Hence, instead of choosing to flee and gather other powerful mbers of his family to encircle and kill Alkaid, he confronted the challenge head-on, intending to kill this arrogant assassin there and then with his formidable strength.
This showed just how confident Shangguan Jinlong was in his own abilities.
Unfortunately...
Even soone as strong as Alkaid knew that skilled swimrs can drown; Shangguan Jinlong, however, arrogantly thought his strength sufficient to dominate everyone except a few such as Red Star and Snow Dragon.
Therefore, he could hardly imagine that soone could use a secret technique to construct a map in their mind, a palace of mory, to precisely discern the movent and changes of every figure in the vicinity.
Shangguan Jinlong, attacking head-on, used a combat skill to maximize his vigor, aiming a stunning blow at Alkaid's head. However, Alkaid's Divine Shadow Sword moved faster, accurately and swiftly targeting his body.
A stabbing attack, swift to the extre. The sword edge tore through the air currents, initiating a visible white Sword Gang from the tip of the blade, roaring as it directly pierced Shangguan Jinlong's figure.
An inch longer is an inch stronger!
The attacking range of Alkaid, wielding his sword, was obviously further than that of Shangguan Jinlong who lunged forward.
Should he not dodge, his punch that would burst Alkaid's head would coincide with Alkaid's sword already piercing through his body, killing him on the spot.
Mind Thought turned swiftly, but Shangguan Jinlong did not retreat. Instead, he showed off his exquisite movent technique, his figure like a falling leaf seemingly stirred up by Alkaid's sword wind, shaking along with his sword. anwhile, he stepped forward, risking an advance at the burst of his vigor, evidently intending to execute Alkaid at close quarters with a swift deadly strike.
This style of fighting…
did not resemble a Family Head, but rather a desperate gambler who relishes taking risks.
"Buzz buzz!"
The sword, stabbing into empty air, suddenly swung, emitting a loud sword cry, nearly slicing across imdiately after Shangguan Jinlong's evasive maneuver.
At the sa ti, his left hand shifted from a fist to a palm, striking head-on toward the punch that Shangguan Jinlong directed at his head.
Pill Energy surged!
"Bang!"
Two identical forces of Pill Energy collided in the void, producing a sound like distant thunder.
The terrifying vibration shattered all the fragile glass and porcelain in the study, scattering debris everywhere.
Amid the flying shards, Shangguan Jinlong's face changed instantly.
His punch had been coiled up and ready to strike with the force of thunder, and although he had slightly altered his position to dodge Alkaid's blade, causing a slight delay in the flow of his vigor, the power within his fist was still not sothing any Martial Saint, or even a Celestial, could withstand.
But when his fist actually collided with Alkaid's palm, he distinctly felt a force slightly stronger than his perate his fist, travel up his arm, and shock him as if electrifying, striking into his body.
This force, though not strong, could not inflict any fatal damage, yet it precisely interfered with the flow of his internal vigor and blood, causing half of his body to go numb montarily.
"This technique! The Rebirth Society!?"
Shangguan Jinlong's face underwent a dramatic change.
The next instant, a blade that had swept across took advantage of his paralyzing numbness and fiercely struck his head, the force within it seemingly set to decapitate him with a mighty, ruinous swing.
However, just as this blade was about to separate Shangguan Jinlong's head from his body, a ring of blue light burst from him, unexpectedly sending Alkaid's Divine Shadow Sword flying as it slashed onto his body.
Seizing this chance, Shangguan Jinlong's blood surged explosively, dispelling the numbing force affecting him, and he retreated swiftly, all the while shouting loudly, "Assassin!"
"A Repulsion Shield?"
Alkaid instantly guessed what that burst of blue light was.
Protective Magical Weapon.
The higher power of Red Star Martial Saints compared to those of other nations, aside from martial techniques and experience, was chiefly due to various advanced equipnt.
Equipped with all sorts of advanced gear, Red Star Martial Saints often held the capability to take on two opponents from other nations simultaneously.
And as the Family Head of one of the twelve noble Shangguan Families of Red Star, Shangguan Jinlong's equipnt was naturally of a higher quality, possessing such life-saving protective treasures was only logical.
"Swoosh!"
The Jianfeng trembled, and Alkaid's vigor erupted once more beneath his feet.
His body and his Divine Shadow Sword aligned, Unity of Man and Sword, shot out like an arrow released from a bow.
As it hurtled toward Shangguan Jinlong, the Star Pointing Technique was employed.
Instantly, the speed, already at its peak, surged dramatically, in a flash arriving in front of Shangguan Jinlong. The fierce Jianfeng generated a chilling aura that pierced the soul, leaving Shangguan Jinlong no chance to react.
"Ah!"
On the brink of life and death, this Divine Intent Martial Saint from the Shangguan Family showed unparalleled ferocity. His gaze firmly locked onto Alkaid, his blood energy was completely ignited, causing his entire body to slightly expand and magnify.
A punch, so powerful that it seed to transcend the pinnacle of a Martial Saint and match a Celestial, exploded forth. In that instant, Alkaid felt as if he witnessed a towering mountain collapsing, with countless boulders weighing hundreds, thousands, even tens of thousands of tons, tumbling down with the collapsing peak, seemingly about to crush him into dust at the mountain's base.
This was...
Punch Intent!?
The Punch Intent that evolves when Divine Intent is elevated to its extre!
This Punch Intent was not rely an attack of Divine Intent, but had even transford into a level of Divine Intent Secret Technique.
Just like Alkaid's Great Sun Suppressing God Diagram.
Let alone Grandmasters and Martial Saints, even if faced by a Divine Intent Martial Saint, this kind of targeted Punch Intent and secret technique attack would cause disturbances in one's spirit, leading to flaws.
But...
Alkaid's Divine Intent, although not strong, was still genuinely that of a Divine Intent Martial Saint.
Moreover, he possessed the Divine Intent defense secret technique, Great Sun Suppressing God Diagram.
The earth-shattering Punch Intent from Shangguan Jinlong was scattered by the blazing intent of the Great Sun Suppressing God Diagram at that very mont.
It didn't even affect Alkaid's sword speed in the slightest, and instead, the backlash from the Great Sun Suppressing God Diagram made Shangguan Jinlong feel as if he had fallen into a fiery hell, his soul scorched by endless flas.
"No!"
In a cry of terror and despair, his throat was pierced by the Divine Shadow Sword.
With a tremor of the blade, the head of this Divine Intent Martial Saint from the Shangguan Noble Family was cleanly severed.
The scream abruptly stopped.
"Family Head!"
Only now did cries of alarm suddenly co from outside.
Alkaid sensed briefly and could still detect a Martial Saint rapidly approaching.
However...
Considering the need to leave these Martial Saints for the Shangguan Family to infight, Alkaid did not kill all those who ca rushing over.
He just took out his smartphone and snapped a photo of Shangguan Xiong.
After quickly taking a few shots, he flicked his ears, turned his body, and his sword flashed out like a dragon.
Just at that mont, two Grandmaster Level powerhouses burst into the study.
Before they could make out the situation in the study, the Divine Shadow Sword, with a trail of afterimages, streaked towards them like lightning.
Even though the two Grandmasters reacted very quickly, and their physical strength was remarkable enough to be considered the pinnacle of human limits, still...
Alkaid's sword was too fast.
So fast that even with their utmost attention, they found it difficult to clearly catch its trajectory in ti.
The sword instantly pierced through one Grandmaster's throat and continued toward the other Grandmaster without losing montum.
The other Grandmaster finally reacted at that mont, and with a roar, a battle saber already stirring a startling arc, slashed towards Alkaid's sword.
In the other hand...
He was holding a gun.
It was the sa customized handgun as Shangguan Jinlong's.
Clearly, when this saber would cleave through Alkaid's sword, what awaited him was close-range gunfire from the Grandmaster.
At a distance of just a ter, even the quickest Martial Saint would struggle to dodge a firearm's shot.
Moreover, even if he managed to kill this Grandmaster, the instinct to fire the gun could still drag Alkaid to a mutual destruction.
Unfortunately...
His idea was quite excellent.
But it encountered a hiccup early in its execution.
His saber, missed.
He thought he had perfectly discerned the trajectory of Alkaid's straight-thrusting sword, but in reality, what he glimpsed was just the afterimage brought by the Divine Shadow Sword.
By the ti his saber missed and he raised the handgun again, he felt his surroundings spinning wildly, his vision seemingly soaring...
Vaguely, he could see a cold sword severing a body's head and continuing its montum, sweeping past his rising arm and severing the entire gun-holding arm in mid-air.
In this mont, he finally realized sothing.
"That's... my body..."
...
"Thud."
The sound of the head hitting the carpet and Alkaid catching the firearm occurred simultaneously.
Alkaid examined the gun for a mont.
Having trained with firearms, he quickly assessed that though the gun looked unimpressive, its power was definitely not small.
It could probably blow up a Martial Saint's body.
"Nice gun."
He imdiately claid this gun as his own, making it a spoil of war.
Then he searched the Grandmaster's body, finding three specially-made magazines.
Every bullet showed signs of ticulous craftsmanship.
After securing his loot, he also retrieved a jade pendant from Shangguan Jinlong's body.
Upon touching it, the [Businessman] experience imdiately began to increase, signifying its considerable value, most likely being that Protective Magical Weapon worn by Shangguan Jinlong.
Hearing the increasing clamor nearing him, Alkaid quickly secured his items and couldn't spare the ti to search further.
He glanced around at the window, then leaped out, breaking through it.
Before the elite of the Shangguan Family could surround him, he vanished into the night.
