The Almighty Dominance (by Sunshine) novel Chapter 669

The impact came like a thunderclap.

Namgung Hyuk’s fist drove forward, qi roaring around his knuckles in a spiraling vortex of raw power. The air itself seemed to tear. Alex met it head-on, feet planted, every muscle braced.

The collision exploded outward in a shockwave that cracked stone and sent dust billowing across the ruined courtyard.

Alex’s body left the ground.

He flew backward through the night air, a white-robed figure hurled like a broken doll. One hundred meters. His back slammed into the side of a half-collapsed building with a sound like splitting timber.

Ribs screamed. His left arm hung useless, bones shattered inside the sleeve. Blood filled his mouth. For a heartbeat the world went gray at the edges.

But he did not fall.

He slid down the wall, boots finding purchase on broken masonry, and stayed upright. The five-element core inside him burned steady and deep, a foundation that had once carried him all the way to the first stage of Nascent Soul before he deliberately pressed it back.

That choice had cost him power. It had also kept him alive.

Namgung Hyuk hovered above the rubble, sword lowered, eyes wide with genuine shock. The arrogant certainty on his face cracked.

“You… didn’t die.”

Alex spat blood onto the stones. The taste was bitter. He straightened slowly, one arm dangling, the other clenched at his side. Pain lanced up his spine with every breath, but he lifted his chin and met the old master’s gaze without flinching.

Namgung’s mouth twisted. Arrogance flooded back in, hot and ugly. “Why won’t you just die?”

He launched himself again, a streak of crimson qi.

The Wudang Sect Master dropped from the sky between them, sword already drawn. Steel rang against steel as he caught Namgung’s descending strike and turned it aside.

The two Nascent Soul cultivators blurred into motion, trading blows faster than the eye could follow. Each clash sent shockwaves rolling across Changyi. Sword light flashed in brilliant arcs. The night filled with the scream of qi and the thunder of impacts.

Below them, Alex pushed off the wall. His broken arm swung limply. Blood dripped from his lip and spattered the dust.

He watched the aerial duel for three heartbeats, then drew breath and roared upward, voice raw but carrying.

“Bastard! Namgung Hyuk!”

Alex’s eyes burned. “I tried to speak with you. I gave you the truth. And you came here to murder me in my own home. Do you truly want me as your enemy?”

Namgung broke away from Feng Taiyi and hovered, robes whipping in the wind his own qi created. His face was a mask of righteous fury.

“You collude with Prussia,” he spat. “You bring their forbidden machines into Xia. For that, you die.”

“I have told you,” Alex answered, each word deliberate, “I have no alliance with Prussia. Every drone, every satellite, every system you see was built here. By Xia hands. With Xia minds. Reverse-engineered from designs I stole. Nothing more.”

“I do not believe you.”

Alex took one step forward, boots grinding on broken tile.

“Then tell me what you will do.”

Namgung’s qi flared, a visible pressure that made the air shimmer. “I will kill you here and now.”

Alex’s laugh was short, cold, and without humor.

“Have you thought this through, old man? Because if you name me your enemy, I will not stop at you. I will use the Emperor’s seal. I will hunt every last member of the Namgung family—every cousin, every disciple, every blood relative who carries that name—and I will erase them from this Xia. Do you understand me?”

The wind died for a single, terrible second.

Namgung’s face went white, then flushed dark with rage. His qi exploded outward in a violent gust that whipped dust and shattered tiles into the air. “You dare threaten my family?”

Alex did not retreat.

“I am asking you one last time, Do you truly want to make me your enemy?”

At that exact moment, the sky changed.

Ten heavy military aircraft descended through the clouds, their silhouettes massive and angular against the stars.

They moved with unnatural silence for their size, rotors and engines humming with a low, predatory thrum.
