The Same

Li ChunJun didn't kill for "experience."

He killed to stop violence.

Therefore, he would choose the most efficient way to kill.

If he could use a sword, he would never use his fists.

If he could use a gun, he would never use a sword.

The moment the Special Gun, obtained from Liu Zhengcun's guard, aimed at Han Shan, the trigger was pulled without hesitation.

Not good!

Han Shan, whose five fingers were spread wide like tiger claws, reaching for Li ChunJun's neck, drastically changed his expression and his figure flashed.

No Martial Morality!

This young man has no Martial Morality!

They were having a martial arts duel, and he actually used a gun!

"Bang!"

Fire burst out.

The kinetic energy provided by the special gunpowder propelled the bullet out of the Dark Gun Barrel in an instant.

Although Han Shan reacted extremely quickly, he was ultimately no match for the gun at such close range.

In the next moment, a burst of Crimson Bloodlight exploded on his shoulder.

The powerful kinetic energy contained in the bullet made his body tremble uncontrollably, causing him to lean back slightly.

But this shot was just the beginning.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Less than a second after the first shot, Li ChunJun fired four more shots in succession.

Even though Han Shan pushed his speed and agility to the limit, he still couldn't evade these four consecutive shots.

The second shot grazed his arm, the third hit his chest, the fourth struck his kidney, and the fifth missed.

Too close.

The two were too close.

At such close range, even a Martial Master Circulating Energy Through the Heavens couldn't avoid being killed by bullets.

Two out of four hit.

Adding to the initial shot, these injuries were enough to inflict fatal damage on Han Shan, the Sword Tasting Hall's master and a leading figure in Guangzhou City's Martial Arts world.

Reality isn't a game.

In a game, getting shot only deducts health points; as long as you don't die, you can still resist.

But in reality, the intense pain and the hole in the body after being shot would cause the body to uncontrollably mobilize all its Qi and blood to the wound. This physiological change would plunge a person into dizziness, weakness, and various other negative states, thereby rapidly losing combat effectiveness.

Just like now...

Han Shan was clearly still holding on to a breath, and could even be saved if he was sent to the hospital in time.

But...

Struck by the powerful bullet kinetic energy of this Special Gun, he fell backward, unable to muster any strength to counterattack.

He could only watch helplessly as, after five shots, Li ChunJun strode forward again, reaching him, the gun barrel pointing directly at his head...

Unprecedented fear erupted at this moment when his body was weak and a Dark Gun Barrel was pointed at his head.

Han Shan's pupils widened.

At this moment, he was no longer the highly respected figure in Guangzhou City's Martial Arts world, no longer the Sword Tasting Hall's master with hundreds of disciples and students, no longer the Harmony Martial Master revered by everyone as an honored guest.

He was just a middle-aged and elderly man who wanted to live, unwilling to give up his wealthy life and good years!

"Stop... stop... spare me..."

"Bang!"

Li ChunJun, who had aimed at Han Shan's head, pulled the trigger without the slightest hesitation.

Not even half a second.

This time, he couldn't dodge.

"Bang!"

A bloody hole instantly appeared in Han Shan's forehead as he fell backward, not yet hitting the ground.

The bullet even penetrated his head, piercing through the back of his skull and into the ground less than thirty centimeters away.

Unwillingness, pain, ferocity, resentment, regret, and many other emotions surged onto his face in an instant, making his entire expression extremely distorted.

This distortion froze at the moment his body slammed heavily on the ground, looking...

So ugly.

"The same."

Li ChunJun said, "Nothing different."

"Killed a level 8 creature, experience +781!"

[Life Level: 9 (37/900)]

"Master!"

"No!"

"Beast! How... how dare you!?"

At this moment, a roar mixed with incomparable rage came from the direction of the main hall.

Several disciples, who thought their master's attack would be foolproof, were furious to see this ruthless villain kill their master in such a despicable and shameless way.

However, as they turned back, Li ChunJun, who was immersed in the "leveling up" state, suddenly turned around, moved his pistol horizontally, and pointed it directly at the three people at the entrance of the main hall.

Fire!

"Bang bang bang bang bang!"

Roars, scoldings, and shouts were instantly covered by panic.

The three disciples dared not hesitate at all, each bursting out with their figures and dodging into the main hall.

But even so, one of them was grazed by a bullet, and another was shot in the shoulder, his body involuntarily retreating from the kinetic energy contained in the bullet.

As Li ChunJun fired, he strode forward, kicking up the previously seized sword with one foot, and firmly grasped it in his "restored" right hand.

He maintained this posture of holding a sword in one hand and a gun in the other, charging at full speed.

By the time the remaining nine bullets in the gun were fired, he had already killed his way into the hall.

The "Fourth Disciple" who was shot down by the bullet had been the most fierce in his scolding, calling him a "beast" non-stop. He was forced to shut up when he was shot by the bullet. Now, seeing Li ChunJun, who was wielding a sword and killing his way over, his face suddenly turned pale.

"'Whoosh!'"

Just as Li ChunJun was about to send him on his way, a cold light suddenly appeared.

The loud sword cry mixed with the sharpness of piercing through the void instantly stabbed at Li ChunJun's side.

The direction of the sword's edge was his head.

This sword came fiercely and unparalleled, and the angle chosen was Li ChunJun's theoretically "crippled" right half of his body.

With this tricky and strange sword, theoretically, even a Martial Master in Harmony would be killed on the spot if he lost his right hand's ability to react.

Even if he avoided this fatal blow, the opponent's subsequent sword attacks would still be able to pursue him step by step until he was completely killed.

Unfortunately...

He obviously didn't know that someone's wrist had been crushed and his arm crippled in the previous second, and even before the blood had dried, he had already fully recovered.

Not only recovered!

At this moment, he was far stronger than when he had just stepped into the Sword Tasting Hall!

Han Shan, whose Hundred Meridians Open and was only one step away from Harmony, had given him almost a life-level worth of experience.

After completing the level 7 to level 8 upgrade, he immediately went from level 8 to level 9.

The all-round strengthening brought about by the two life-level upgrades made his reaction, speed, and explosive power improve by two levels.

As a result, although the First Disciple Zhang Li, who had suddenly killed from the side with a sword attack, had impeccable timing and angle, Li ChunJun, who reacted in the first time, still managed to strike first.

"'Buzzing!'"

The long sword hummed softly!

This sword, which had followed him through countless battles, stirred up a chilling gleam and pierced out with incredible speed.

Zhang Li didn't even have time to clearly see the true trajectory of this sword; the icy cold light had already advanced straight along his arm and pierced through his throat.

Only at this moment did the sword he had also thrust towards Li ChunJun's head barely arrive, and he slightly tilted his head to easily avoid it.

"Chih!"

Thrust, and withdraw!

Bringing with it a spray of crimson bloodlight.

Splattering Li ChunJun all over.

Li ChunJun didn't even blink, turning around without any pause, and arriving in front of his "Fourth Disciple," who had suddenly widened his eyes.
