Powerful

Seeing that the two Inner Strength Martial Masters coming out of the Sword Tasting Hall not only didn't avoid him, but even dared to counterattack him, Li ChunJun was a little surprised.

But the speed of his sword didn't slow down at all.

The Nine Heavens Thunderclap Sword Art emphasizes speed, power, and momentum.

Through the sword art practitioner's massive force, he erupts with a powerful and heavy sword strike, and through strength, he elevates the speed of this sword to the extreme.

Although it lacks skill and adaptability, but...

Li ChunJun relies on overwhelming strength to defeat the weak, achieving miracles through brute force.

Therefore, in the situation where the three drew their swords almost simultaneously, the sword in Li ChunJun's hand struck the "Sixth Disciple's" sword with the force of thunder.

As the two swords collided, the Sixth Disciple's sword seemed to be struck by a hammer, and the violent force almost made him lose his grip.

Even though he tightened his grip on the hilt, the sword in his hand still inevitably deviated, actually aiming at his "Eighth Disciple's" sword.

"Bang!"

Sparks flew.

The combined attack of the two was easily resolved by him using this simple, direct, violent, but extremely effective method.

And after knocking away the "Sixth Disciple's" sword, his sword suddenly trembled, the cold blade tilting, and turning towards the "Sixth Disciple's" throat.

This swift and sudden sword made the "Sixth Disciple" so frightened that his soul almost flew away, and he retreated without hesitation.

This retreat of his...

Directly turned the battle from a joint attack by two people into the "Eighth Disciple" facing Li ChunJun's attack alone.

By the time the "Eighth Disciple" had just stabilized the sword that had been deflected by the "Sixth Disciple", Li ChunJun's sword had already struck like lightning.

This sword didn't even carry any skill.

Nor did it use any sword techniques.

It was entirely Li ChunJun's sword-drawing instinct accumulated from killing dozens of people in a short week.

This instinctive, unthinking sword strike, like a gazelle hanging its horns, exceeded the "Eighth Disciple's" reaction limit.

He had barely kept up with the trajectory of Li ChunJun's sword when a point of cold light rapidly magnified in front of his eyes, and then, it seemed that an icy chill entered from the center of his brow, piercing through his head, instantly pausing his control over his body.

When the chill receded, he truly saw what it was.

That was...

Li ChunJun's sword.

"I've been hit?"

A sword through the brow!?

A fatal blow!?

And at the moment he realized this, his thoughts stopped abruptly.

"Killed a Level 4 creature, experience +47!"

[Life Level: 7 (640/700)]

"Eighth Disciple!"

The "Sixth Disciple," who was rapidly retreating, couldn't help but let out a sorrowful cry at this sight.

He suddenly roared, "Master, First Disciple, Second Disciple, Fourth Disciple, a powerful enemy is attacking! Come quickly to assist!"

There were six Inner Strength Martial Artists in the Sword Tasting Hall.

Below the hall master, the strongest was naturally First Disciple Zhang Li, whose cultivation was only a step away from Inner and Outer Harmony.

The remaining Second Disciple and Fourth Disciple were the other two Inner Strength Martial Artists.

Apart from those with Inner Strength, outer practice disciples facing a desperate and fierce criminal like Li ChunJun were simply courting death.

Under the stimulation of death, the "Sixth Disciple's" speed of retreat in his roar could be described as extremely fast.

But...

Li ChunJun, who was determined to kill all of the Jin Family's helpers, was even faster.

Accompanied by the explosive force under his feet, his entire body shot out like a cannonball, tearing through the wind resistance with his long sword, instantly killing his way behind the "Sixth Disciple."

The biting cold sword edge that swept over him made the "Sixth Disciple's" scalp tingle.

"No!"

"Stop!"

At this moment, an angry roar suddenly came.

Immediately afterward, a figure appearing at the entrance of the main hall rushed out like a cheetah, pouncing and killing, directly intercepting Li ChunJun.

The imposing manner and familiar voice made the "Sixth Disciple" unable to help but reveal a look of surprise in his eyes.

"Master!"

At this moment, Li ChunJun's figure suddenly soared, and his already extreme speed actually increased by another point. Before Sword Tasting Hall Master Han Shan could kill his way over, his sword edge pierced through the "Sixth Disciple's" head first.

Instantly...

The expression on the "Sixth Disciple's" face, which had been filled with surprise, froze.

"Killed a Level 5 creature, experience +116!"

At the instant this "Sixth Disciple" died and his essence was refined by the Human Emperor Flag, a surge of heat suddenly exploded within Li ChunJun's body, filling his limbs, bones, internal organs, and strengthening every corner of his body in all aspects.

He leveled up.

[Life Level: 8 (56/800)]

In theory, Li ChunJun should have chosen to maximize his benefits, opting for a mutually destructive tactic at the moment his level was about to advance, and fight Han Shan, this Harmony Realm Martial Master, to the death. If he could successfully kill him, he would gain over 600 experience points in one go, instantly completing most of the accumulation for Life Level 8.

However, he never killed for the sake of "experience."

He did it to kill all those he deemed worthy of death.

Therefore, his sword had no hesitation, nor would it have any.

"Beast!"

Witnessing his disciple die before his eyes, Han Shan, the Sword Tasting Hall's master, flew into a rage!

Although he was over fifty years old, his physical condition was slightly declining, and he had also made a sudden move without exerting his full strength.

But at this moment, carrying a fierce and malevolent aura, he crossed the twenty or thirty meters between the main hall and the courtyard gate, pouncing towards Li ChunJun. His five fingers spread wide, the strength of his entire body concentrated in his arm, and he slammed down towards Li ChunJun's head.

The claw contained more than a dozen variations, directly sealing off all possibilities for Li ChunJun to dodge.

However, Li ChunJun had no intention of dodging at all.

His own Martial Arts attainments were not high enough to see the subtleties contained in Han Shan's claw.

He didn't know that if he dodged, the subsequent series of attacks would surely lead to his death.

All he did was draw his sword.

Completely ignoring Han Shan's claw that was coming down on his head, enough to crush his skull, he fearlessly aimed at Han Shan's largest vital point, his heart, and struck with all his might!

"Whoosh!"

The sword light pierced through the air.

Through the explosive acceleration of the Nine Heavens Thunderclap Sword Art, the sword body directly stirred up an ear-piercing screech in the void.

This kind of life-for-life fighting style...

Made Han Shan, who thought he could kill Li ChunJun on the spot with just one claw, forcibly retract his killing move.

Trade lives!?

For the Jin Family, to trade lives with a nobody who until recently had no status!?

Not worth it!

It wasn't worth it at all!

Moreover, he didn't have that kind of courage!

Anger and frustration surged in Han Shan's heart at the same time.

He, who had pounced through the air, had no choice but to change his move in mid-air. The claw that was originally aimed at Li ChunJun's head also changed rapidly, landing heavily on the wrist of his sword-thrusting hand.

The change of moves was so fast, and the flow of strength was unobstructed. This was...

Hundred Meridians Open!

Li ChunJun's eyes darkened.

Reacting with a change of move?

Too late!

Han Shan, this Sword Tasting Hall's master, was even more powerful than he had anticipated!

How quick was his reaction!?

He was no match for Han Shan in a contest of moves!

His only advantage was his willingness to risk everything!

Be ruthless to enemies, and to oneself...

"Shred!"

His sleeve shattered.

Li ChunJun's sword-wielding right hand was instantly torn by Han Shan's claw, leaving visible bloody marks.

The tearing claw continued downwards, taking advantage of the momentum to crush Li ChunJun's wrist, and with a shake of force, directly seize the sword in his hand, completing his disarming in less than a second.

From twenty or thirty meters away, witnessing the death of his disciple, he rushed over in a frenzy, and his attack was a fatal blow.

Facing Li ChunJun's desperate attempt to break the situation with a life-for-life exchange, he could still change his move in time, tear his arm, crush his wrist, and disarm his sword...

This terrifying strength fully demonstrated the power of the leader of the number one Martial Arts force in Guangzhou City.

If the military was not taken into account, it would not be an exaggeration to call him the number one Martial Master in Guangzhou City!

However, just as Han Shan crippled Li ChunJun's sword-wielding arm, disarmed his weapon, and planned to strike again, directly snapping his neck, he saw Li ChunJun's left hand suddenly reach out, pointing directly at his body.

And what he was holding in his hand was actually...

A gun!?
