903 A Strong Girl

His upper body flew to the air as his eyes couldn't comprehend what just happened before dying.

'Now, this is something interesting.' Alex narrowed his eyes. He couldn't help but remember the betrayal that he got on Earth. He was lucky to keep his life and finally got his revenge, but that man indeed had died, unable to take his revenge.

"Goryuu!" The young lady screamed in disbelief. "Why did you kill him?! No, that can wait…"

"Hehe… Not only are you beautiful, but you are also smart. But do you think you can win against me, especially in that state?" Goryuu grinned. "Thanks to the second young master to think of this master plan! He ordered me to kill you, but he didn't say I can't have fun first, right?"

The young lady took a deep breath as she conjured her Sword Qi.

Goryuu also raised his stance, knowing that he would certainly need to fight for a few minutes before subduing this little lady. After all, her attack power alone was something hard to handle, even for a 1-Star Martial Saint like himself.

To his surprise, the young lady suddenly turned around and ran away.

"Wha—" Goryuu immediately chased her while trying to calm himself down.

Seeing this situation, the young lady smirked before leaping to the sky and landing on a tree. She stepped as hard as possible to the point it crushed the tree and launched her back toward Goryuu.

Goryuu obviously didn't foresee this matter and gritted his teeth.

"Void Blade. Thunder Strike."

She moved like lightning toward Goryuu as a thunderclap echoed.

Before he realized it, the young lady already passed him, leaving a deep wound sword on his chest. Blood started dripping out of the wound, but the man didn't scream out of pain. Instead, he laughed as if everything went according to the plan.

The young lady certainly felt it too as her hand was shaking. Importantly, she lost her sword.

Looking a bit further away, she found her sword flying for a few seconds before piercing the ground.

"I have followed you so many years. Do you think I don't know your technique?" He grinned.

'Targeting my sword? No, he targeted my hand earlier.' The young lady gritted his teeth. Because of the impact produced by the clash of the sword earlier, he managed to numb the lady's hand. In other words, he intentionally let her cut his chest just to stop her from using a sword again for a period of time.

Even so, the young lady remained calm and took out two swords, one in each hand.

The young man only smirked as he swallowed a pill to heal the wound on his chest before leaping toward the lady. "Hehe… I will make sure you have a nightmare before killing you!"

Clank.

He struck her sword with his sword, but the lady still resisted by summoning lightning from her body.

Goryuu immediately created a distance and took a deep breath. "The one that is allowing you to use all those high-speed movements. However, you have used too much energy, and I believe this will be your last attack. I won't let you hit me anymore."

"You can try." She gritted her teeth and disappeared. She only had one chance to survive this ordeal, but that chance was too low.

Goryuu could keep up with her movement, albeit barely. He struck her swords to stop her momentum and punched her stomach to blast her away.

"Gah!" The lady spat blood as she was blown away, rolling on the ground.

A weight suddenly fell on top of her, and she found Goryuu was sitting on top of her stomach while piercing his sword right beside her face, grazing a bit of her cheek.

"I've got you!" He smirked.

"Why are you doing this?! No, who do you serve?"

The guy smiled and took something out of his Space Ring. "Before that…"

"Mmhmm!"

Goryuu placed his hand on the young lady's mouth, stopping her from talking. However, the real reason was to make her swallow the medicine he hid in that palm.

She instantly realized what kind of pill she just swallowed. Her face became pale as she found her strength leaving her body. Soon enough, all her body stopped moving.

Goryuu licked his lips vulgarly and smiled. "Haha… Don't worry. I don't like using aphrodisiacs because breaking someone as composed as you are more enjoyable."

"You—" The young lady furrowed her eyebrows. "Do you think that brother of mine can protect you from my father?"

"That is enough, Young Lady Aria. None of you have realized that even your brother is just controlled by someone else!"

"!!!" As soon as she heard it, she instantly grasped the whole picture. "Grayfig Family!"

"Hehe, as expected for the wisest of Cypress Family. Your brain is really extraordinary."

"Grayfig Family find me a thorn in their eyes and decide to use my brother's jealousy to kill me. And you… You must be coming from Grayfig Family."

"Hehe, that's all there to it. I should have introduced myself, right? My real name is Novus Grayfig. This is the name that will hold you before you die!"

"Novus Grayfig… Novus Grayfig, the eighth son of the Grayfig Family that is rumored to die a few years ago?!"

"To think there is still someone who remembers my real name. Whatever. Your family won't have the chance to rise again after losing you, and I won't be held accountable…" He smirked and ripped off her clothes, revealing that smooth skin of her.

The young lady fell silent and looked away as if she was going to resist everything he would do to her. "I will never forgive you scumbags!"

"Just shut up and moan with pleasure! I, Novus, shall handle the rest." Novus made a vulgar smile as he bowed down, trying to enjoy her boobs. "

It was at this time, Alex appeared next to them, swinging his sword.

"!!!" Goryuu turned his head and widened his eyes. He instinctively grabbed his sword, but Alex's movement was too fast, sending his head flying before he could react. "Who—"

Alex used enough force to not only slice his throat but also blow his body away.

He then looked at the lady with a calm expression. "Are you alright?"

The lady heard Alex's soothing voice and hesitated for a few seconds. "I am fine, thank you."

"That's good. I was flying around here before finding this… But considering he had the same cultivation as me, I needed to wait for a perfect time to kill him in one move." Alex nodded.

"Why are you lying?" She asked with a calm expression, trying to move her body.

"Lying? I don't know what you are talking about."

"You had been waiting even before we fought the Earth Shaking Worm."

"!!!" Alex widened his eyes as he never expected that this girl knew about it. "I am sorry, but I seriously don't understand your words. I just came here."

"I am grateful to you for saving my chastity, but I need to make it clear first."

"Chastity? I saved your life—" Alex stopped talking before he realized what she meant. When she looked away as though she wanted to resist whatever he did to her wasn't for that reason. The real aim was to recover her body even when the male raped her and found a way to kill him.

That was why she said chastity instead of her life. She never had any intention of dying, even if she needed to go through hell. What a strong girl, Alex thought.

"Even without you saving me, I will find an opportunity to kill him. And because I am blind, my perception is stronger than any others, allowing me to find you from the start. It's also the reason why I can find that worm underground.

"That's why I know that you had been waiting in the dark this whole time. I had assumed that you wouldn't show yourself… But considering you appeared and killed him, I realized that you must have an aim for saving me.

"I want to make this clear first, or you can simply kill me or rape me. I don't care," Aria said without any change of her flat tone as if she didn't hope for anything.

"Hoh?!" Even Alex couldn't help but feel impressed by that sheer determination.

"What if I say I want to use you to destroy the Cypress Family?" Alex smirked, releasing his killing intent.

"…" Aria fell silent for a few seconds before sighing. "Then you can try. Even if you torture me, I won't make a single move against my family."

"Even though your brother wanted to kill you?"

"He is just a foolish man, but even so, his strength is something else. Even if I have authority over my family, I will leave that family in the future and become an expert that has freedom. That family head position can just go to him."

Alex certainly didn't understand the complex matters she had with her family, but he knew something. He wouldn't be able to force this girl to do something. Still, Alex hadn't given up yet and said, "Do you think you can keep that strong facade forever?

"I have this subordinate that can torture anyone to confess everything. I wonder if you can keep that up later?" Alex let out a hollow laugh as if he planned to do something vicious. He even added, "And I will make sure you will have at least a hundred men devouring you before you die… Ah, right. Your senses are sharper than normal, right? It means you will taste pressure more than anyone else… Fufu, I wonder how long you can stay calm…"

The girl didn't answer him immediately and sighed. "Mister… I don't know who you are, but don't say something you don't mean it. Since you have recognized my heightened senses, you must know that you shouldn't release that killing intent earlier. I know that you don't mean to do something vicious to me.

"I know since young that there are two types of killing intent. One that really wants to kill me and one that is used to threaten me. The one you let out earlier was the latter. That's why I am asking what you want for saving my chastity…"

She paused for a moment before continuing.

"Besides… Even if that's true, with these blind eyes of mine, I don't need to see how ugly he or "they" you spoke of are when going through that hell…" She didn't forget to insult Goryuu, who died earlier and smiled, opening her eyelids to show Alex her grey, lifeless, and blind eyes.
