Chapter 38 Gradually Becoming Apparent
"Alkaid, I really want to thank you this time."
Having left Pinwei Residence, Su Yaoyu sincerely expressed her gratitude.
Following behind were Su Yaoxue and Ran Qiu.
However, compared to Su Yaoxue's constant evaluation, Ran Qiu was covering her face, feeling too embarrassed to show her face.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
The scene just now meant she could no longer maintain an image of innocence and cuteness in front of Alkaid.
"Let's eat."
Alkaid didn't say much.
"I'll take you to a new place."
Su Yaoyu said, signaling Caiyun to drive.
"Let's go to Deyue Tower next to my company. It's my treat," Su Yaoxue offered, and at the same time, she also turned to Alkaid, "Thank you."
Alkaid nodded slightly.
Accepting her thanks.
"Are the Ye Family still harassing you?"
Su Yaoyu asked quietly, leaning over.
"It's okay, just a minor issue," Su Yaoxue appeared very calm.
"Why haven't you mentioned this to the family?" Su Yaoyu asked.
Su Yaoxue glanced at her...
They...
Were both motherless.
Whether it was her own mother or the mothers of Su Yaoshuang and Su Yaoqin, all had children with Su Huaifeng for the sake of money.
As for marrying into a rich family and becoming a wealthy wife?
What were they thinking?
Su Huaifeng was still on top of other women before he fell ill.
To a certain extent, they were all effectively orphaned.
With no backing behind them, after calling off the engagement with the Ye Family and damaging the family's interests, it was already a mercy that the Family Law Hall didn't punish her severely. And they still expected help from the Su Family?
Wake up.
But she did not speak these thoughts aloud, simply saying faintly, "I can handle it myself."
"Recently, Director Zhang, along with Directors Wei and Yan, have joined forces in an attempted takeover, causing endless issues. Grandfather has been somewhat busy, but once this period is over, I'll speak to Grandfather for you," Su Yaoyu whispered.
"Zhang Yushu is the sister-in-law of the head of the Tian Nan Development Bureau, and with the Ye Family and our competitor Shen Family kicking us while we're down, it won't be easy for the Bu Zhou Group to get through this without knowing if someone even higher up is directing things from behind," Su Yaoxue shook her head.
"Grandfather will think of a solution," said Su Yaoyu.
Su Yaoxue did not continue to argue with her.
She knew it was meaningless.
Her job was to get her own company in order, to secure a fallback option for her family.
The group, using three cars, headed towards the "Deyue Tower" as mentioned by Su Yaoxue.
However, just as they had started driving for a bit, Alkaid suddenly said, "Change course, turn right."
Lei Yun, perplexed, didn't question but quickly turned the steering wheel.
Alkaid took out his phone and sent Su Yaoyu a message stating he had forgotten something and asked them to go ahead without him.
As the cars took a different route, they soon arrived at a somewhat secluded alleyway.
"Stop here," Alkaid commanded.
"Young Master..."
At this point, Lei Yun, with her wealth of experience, also keenly sensed something amiss.
A car had followed them.
"Wait for me in the car," Alkaid instructed before alighting and walking deeper into the dimly lit alley, vanishing into the shadows.
The vehicle that had followed them paused, and a man in his thirties got out, following at a leisurely pace.
Lei Yun in the car, witnessing the scene, wanted to get out, but remembering her young master's instruction...
She stopped and focused intently on the alley, ready to rush to Alkaid's aid at the first sign of trouble.
his arrogant determination to crush Alkaid's skull had caused his subsequent adaptions to be less than perfect. By the time he locked onto the formless and invisible Chengying Sword, its tip was already frighteningly close to his throat.
"Presumptuous!"
In an instant, the eyes of the still-not-fully demonized man bulged with rage, his originally clear black-and-white pupils turning blood red, as if brimming with endless nightmares.
Just one glance and Alkaid felt as though his entire spirit was being dragged into it, facing a fear of falling into this infinite nightmare.
But before that fear could chill him to the bone, the myriad of accumulated details from 85% progression to the Fourth Rank Martial Saint Realm made him aware of his current plight.
Divine Strike!
He was undergoing a mental assault by the opponent's Divine Intent!
Divine Intent!
This is...
```
Fifth Rank peak, even Sixth Rank power that one can only formally master!
Just like how Pill Energy is the stepping stone from Third Rank into Fourth Rank!
Divine Intent, that is the essential condition for stepping from Fourth Rank into Fifth Rank!
Not good!
Alkaid instantly woke up from the attack of this Divine Intent.
But in that mere instant of delay, the demonically transformed man had precisely grabbed hold of the Chengying Sword that Alkaid had already thrust towards his throat.
The overpowering force made it so that the Chengying Sword couldn't be pushed forward even by a fraction.
His left hand even shaped into a sword, stabbing directly towards the heart of Alkaid who was within an arm's reach.
That ferocious, cold smile, it seemed he intended to pierce through his body and rip out his heart...
Crush it!
Life and death in a thought.
The Chengying Sword that seemed to be firmly grasped, as if unable to move at all, suddenly trembled violently.
Stellar Point.
Humans have seven orifices, which correspond to the stars of the Nine Heavens.
This is a desperate forbidden technique that stimulates the potential of the body, erupting with a force far beyond its limits!
With the Stellar Point technique being used, Alkaid's bodily functions seemed as if they had broken free of some sort of shackles.
It was as if his subconscious had completely let go of its protection of the body.
And it was as if relying on the precise use of every bit of his strength, he gathered it all into one point in an instant, injecting it into the sword, ascending with a pinpointed thrust.
Under the force that exceeded his own limits, the Chengying Sword that was originally tightly gripped, almost immovable, suddenly broke free from the demonically transformed sharp claws of the middle-aged man, thrusting daringly...
"Hiss!"
The man's entire throat was pierced through by the Chengying Sword.
The explosive Pill Energy caused the sword tip to shatter his cervical spine, penetrating from the back of his neck through his body.
The next moment, Alkaid's figure violently shook.
A torrential, ferocious power burst from his chest, piercing through and exploding, as if it intended to tear his entire body to shreds.
Without a moment's hesitation, he fiercely retreated, as if blasted away, sliding two meters then taking four more steps back, ultimately crashing hard against a wall.
"Bang!"
Energy deflection and guidance.
The wall he struck with his back instantly cracked.
Stone chips flew everywhere.
This was him immediately using extremely meticulous techniques to deflect the energy that had blasted into his body.
Fortunately, at the moment the blow struck his body, the Chengying Sword had already severed the demon's cervical nerves, causing him to nearly lose control of his body.
Because of this, the momentum of the force that hit him was greatly reduced, allowing him to withstand it for a moment and use the wall to offload it.
If it hadn't been for this...
The strike would have directly torn open his chest, snapped his ribs, and shattered his internal organs.
By then, there would have been only one outcome for him, dying on the spot.
Half a second.
It was just this half-second difference, the line between life and death shifted.
