Fearsome Reputation

Huang Shang, protected by three Garrison Department Elites, slowly went upstairs.

The sound of footsteps ascending the stairs triggered the motion-sensor lights in the stairwell.

At that moment, a burly man, extremely vigilant, quickly sensed something.

He abruptly turned his gaze towards the corner of the stairwell and shouted, "Who's there! Who is it!?"

In the corner of the stairwell, a shadow that seemed to blend with the railing was clearly visible.

With his shout, the other two quickly became alert.

And that shadow...

Also stood up.

"So, with a Century Thug on the run, how can you eat?"

His voice carried over.

This accusatory tone made a middle-aged man somewhat displeased, and he retorted, "Who are you? Which unit are you from? Who is your leader..."

Before he could finish speaking, Li ChunJun's figure appeared at the corner of the stairs.

Upon clearly seeing his figure, the middle-aged man, who was at least a high-ranking member of the Garrison Department, seemed to have been grabbed by the neck, his voice abruptly stopping.

An unspeakable fear rapidly surged through his pupils.

"Li... Li ChunJun!?"

Not only him, but the burly man's expression also stiffened.

And Huang Shang, who was originally somewhat tipsy, instantly sobered up at this moment.

He suddenly widened his eyes, staring intently at the figure at the corner of the stairwell, his body trembling uncontrollably.

"You... you haven't left yet!?"

They knew that many of the personnel visiting and searching for Li ChunJun had been slacking off, but they turned a blind eye, hoping to startle Li ChunJun and make him realize that Guangzhou City was not a place to stay for long, so he would leave Guangzhou City. They never expected...

He was still in Guangzhou City and hadn't left!?

Could it be...

Could it be that he had to kill everyone in the Jin Family before he would stop!?

Was he crazy!

Yes!

He was crazy, he was already insane!

And now, such a crazy thug with great strength was blocking his path!?

Huang Shang, realizing this, shuddered and turned around as quickly as possible, trying to flee the scene.

But almost the instant his figure moved, Li ChunJun's left hand swiftly swept across his waist.

A short blade was thrown out by him in a flash, with a piercing screech, it crossed the stairwell, passing the three figures of the burly man and the middle-aged man, and accurately pierced through his thigh.

The intense pain made him, who had only taken a few steps on the stairs and wanted to turn around and flee, unable to control his body. He fell down, rolled on the ground, and let out a painful scream.

"Director Huang!"

"Brother Shang!"

"Second Uncle!"

Three exclamations followed closely.

Among them, the young man who called out "Second Uncle" roared, summoning his courage, like an enraged lion, drawing the short thorn from his body, ready to pounce.

But as he tried to leap over the burly man, a sword light had already pierced down at a speed many times faster than him.

"Pfft!"

His body, which was pouncing forward, shook violently.

In the burly man's horrified gaze, a cold sword tip had pierced out from the back of his head.

The speed was so fast that even he, a top expert of the Garrison Department with Inner Strength Great Accomplishment, only a step away from Harmony, didn't see the trajectory of the sword!

This scene terrified him, who was already filled with fear!

"How could this be!?"

He was Huang Shang's man and didn't attend Jin Guangming's funeral with Mo Lei… Jin Guangming's wife's funeral…

Well, there was no difference.

They were all the same.

He wasn't present when Mo Lei died and Li ChunJun went on a killing spree.

But afterward, this major case alarmed even the Speaker, so he naturally rushed over and personally saw the corpses being carried out of the Jin Family Courtyard.

Dozens of Outer Refinement experts.

Twenty or so Inner Strength experts.

All dead.

The nearly hundred corpses that filled the courtyard at the time made his scalp tingle.

Especially afterward, when the corpse of Fang Lieyun, the Garrison Department's Strongest Expert, so powerful that he didn't even have the courage to challenge him, was brought back, he deeply realized the terror of Li ChunJun, the Century Thug.

And at this moment, facing this thug directly, and…

When Director Huang's nephew, who had cultivated under a famous teacher and achieved Inner Strength Great Accomplishment before the age of thirty, died in one exchange, and he didn't even see how the other party drew his sword, he deeply realized just how terrifying this thug was.

It was a fear that one could never imagine without facing it personally.

Under this fear, this one of the Garrison Department's top ten experts didn't dare to stop in this corridor for even a second, retreating as fast as possible.

Unfortunately, he was too close.

Always eager to perform well in front of Huang Shang, he was always responsible for clearing the way, leading the charge.

This time, he was also at the forefront, and he was the first to call out Li ChunJun's whereabouts with his keen reaction.

And so...

As he pulled back violently, retreating straight towards the stairwell, Li ChunJun's sword had already been withdrawn from the young man's head. Arriving later but reaching first, it was like a flash of lightning across the nine heavens, catching up to his retreating figure and piercing through his throat.

"Pfft!"

The burly man's eyes widened suddenly, his retreating figure falling backward. Due to inertia, scarlet blood sprayed from his throat, drawing a tragic arc.

The last remaining middle-aged man, who seemed to hold a position second only to Huang Shang, cried out in terror, "It's not my..."

Before he could finish speaking, Li ChunJun's left hand had already shot out like lightning, seizing his neck before he could even react.

Immediately afterward, he, already striding down the stairs, leaped forward violently.

Just like that, gripping his neck as if catching a chick, he lifted his entire body into the air, leaping several meters, crossing over the corpses of the two elites, and landing on the ground.

And then...

As Li ChunJun's feet landed, his entire person was pressed down hard, slamming heavily onto the ground.

"Bang!"

The loss of balance, and the subsequent violent impact, caused his entire back to instantly lose sensation.

The penetrating force of the impact felt like needles, piercing through his internal organs, causing him to involuntarily open his mouth and cough violently. A mouthful of blood couldn't be contained as he coughed, gushing out.

This was...

Internal injury.

Only at this moment did the lights in this building, and the surrounding buildings, simultaneously turn on.

His three elites, all at least at the Inner Strength Minor Accomplishment level, had been completely defeated in an instant. His thigh pierced by a short blade, Huang Shang was instinctively screaming incessantly.

When he saw the lights in several buildings turn on, as if realizing something, he shouted quickly, "Hurry! Save me! That Century Thug has appeared! He's running wild in our compound! Quickly gather manpower and capture this thug on the spot!"

His voice echoed in the dark night sky, carrying far.

However...

The entire Garrison Department Family Compound did not respond to his call as he had imagined.

The lights that had turned on upon hearing the commotion suddenly went out.

Not only did the lights that had heard the commotion go out.

Even some families who had their lights on originally quickly turned them off as well.

In less than ten seconds, the surrounding floors had become completely dark.

Apart from the streetlights still providing a faint glow, there was no other light.

Instantly...

Huang Shang opened his mouth unconsciously, unable to utter another word, his heart as if falling into an abyss.
