Qualification

Li ChunJun stared at Xu ZhengYi.

He didn't know if the words about crushing his skull were true.

If it was true...

Then it proved that killing was possible.

If it wasn't...

This battle was unavoidable.

Although he was a little reluctant to see the nine people become four, things had come to this, and there was no point in thinking too much.

Four it was then, outside...

There might still be some extras.

It wouldn't be a wasted trip to follow them here.

With this thought, Li ChunJun's mind became serene and peaceful.

There wasn't even a ripple of emotion in his eyes.

He directly chose to draw his sword.

Xu ZhengYi walked towards Li ChunJun looking nonchalant, but anyone with a bit of intelligence should know that none who could enter Ascend Peak Tower were weak.

At the very least, they all had Harmony cultivation.

A Harmony Martial Master, even if they had only just achieved internal and external Harmony, and looked to be under twenty, Xu ZhengYi didn't underestimate him in the slightest!

He had already mustered all his focus as he approached.

"Clang!"

Nine Heavens Thunderclap Sword Art at a near Perfection level!

A combat instinct completely honed for killing efficiency!

The combination of the two caused Li ChunJun's sword to be so fast that even Tan Li, as an assassin, couldn't see the trajectory of the sword.

He only felt a flash of cold light, and the chilling sword light had already pierced to less than half a foot in front of Xu ZhengYi!

When Xu ZhengYi saw Li ChunJun draw his sword and display such an amazing strike, he instinctively wanted to shout excitedly, "Well done!"

He loved engaging in life-and-death battles with top experts, pursuing the limit and surpassing the limit in one extreme challenge after another!

But when this sword truly pierced out, displaying a speed that no Martial Master could withstand, the excitement immediately turned into unparalleled shock...

Or...

Surprise!

He seemed to truly not know what fear was!

Faced with Li ChunJun's lightning-fast sword, stimulated by a mix of shock, surprise, excitement, and other complex emotions, he actually advanced instead of retreating, roaring loudly as violent power was transmitted layer by layer, transforming into a Thunder-like palm strike aimed directly at Li ChunJun's head.

If Li ChunJun didn't evade...

While his sword pierced his throat, this palm would also strike Li ChunJun's head!

A desperate gamble!

This battle-hardened madman, who had killed over a dozen Martial Artists and Martial Masters, actually used a life-for-life tactic at this critical moment, fearless of death!

This was clearly a desperate attempt to turn the tables!

The change in this scene was too fast!

So fast that even the other Harmony Martial Masters in the arena, who were watching their battle with wide eyes to understand their opponents, were caught off guard.

No one expected that this young man, who looked less than twenty years old, would display such stunning swordsmanship with a single strike.

And with a single strike, he could force Xu ZhengYi, the top Martial Master who had swept through Ming Province undefeated, to the point of risking his life!

Just as everyone was staring to see if the two would end up in mutual destruction, or if Li ChunJun would be forced to retreat, losing the initiative, a wave of invisible ripples suddenly emanated from the blade of his thrusting sword.

"Buzz buzz!"

A visible white shockwave rippled from the tip of the sword.

The already extremely fast sword actually increased in speed again!

The angle was slightly slanted!

Changing from piercing the neck to the chest below!

The Sharp Sword, carrying a piercing sword whistle, suddenly slammed into Xu ZhengYi's body.

As the sword pierced through Xu ZhengYi's chest, the "momentum" in the Nine Heavens Thunderclap Sword Art, with the might of Thunder, like a giant hammer, slammed fiercely into his body, actually causing his brave and fierce pouncing figure to suddenly pause.

Losing the distance bonus of his forward pounce, the palm that could have struck Li ChunJun's head fell short, whistling down less than two inches from his face, landing in empty space.

The force contained in his palm, enough to split monuments and shatter skulls, brought a hunting wind, causing the hair on his forehead to dance wildly.

"Chih!"

The next moment, the sword that had pierced through the upper part of his chest like a giant hammer suddenly flicked upwards!

The violent force, at the moment of flicking the sword upwards, carried the sharpness of the sword, instantly cutting through the ribs, severing the Adam's apple and trachea, and then tearing upwards with undiminished momentum, cutting through the jawbone, nasal bone, and brow bone on his face, then cutting through the frontal bone, carrying Crimson Bloodlight, splashing onto the walls and ceiling of the house.

Because the power erupted from the sword was too strong, it actually lifted Xu ZhengYi's body, weighing nearly ninety kilograms, off the ground, flying nearly a foot high, and then leaning backwards, falling backwards.

Faintly visible, his face still wore excitement, surprise, and a trace of horror that had not yet fully spread, all frozen.

A line of blood quickly appeared from the front of his face, chin, lips, nose, bridge of the nose, forehead...

His entire upper body was almost cut open by a single upward slash!

Blood splattered!

"Bang!"

His body leaned back and smashed onto a table not far behind him.

The breath of life quickly faded away.

"..."

Instantly, the arena fell silent.

Tan Li, Du Kang, and Vincent each tensed up, frozen in place, staring blankly at Xu ZhengYi, who had been talking to them just now and was on the same level as them, dying in front of them in a way that seemed incredibly tragic to anyone.

A chilling coldness, like an electric current, quickly swept through every corner of their bodies.

Li ChunJun shook the blood off his sword.

This sword...

Its quality is inferior to the Sword Tasting Hall's collection.

But its sharpness is in no way inferior to that treasured sword.

Hopefully, Ascend Peak Tower will play by the rules, lest this sword gets damaged and I have to find a new one.

Sheathing his sword, Li ChunJun didn't look at Xu ZhengYi again.

In fact, Tan Li, who was carefully observing Li ChunJun, keenly noticed...

Throughout the entire process, Li ChunJun's eyes didn't change in the slightest.

What is this!?

Titan Vincent can be called a mass murderer!

But this young man, who looks less than twenty years old, is truly ruthless!

His heart is as cold as iron!

No, "heart as cold as iron" is not enough to describe it!

It's indifference!

An indifference that treats life as nothing!

It's as if he didn't kill a person at all, but crushed an ant to death.

It's hard to imagine what kind of experience could have created this attitude in him.

He glanced at Li ChunJun, who had already sheathed his sword and sat down to the side.

Then he looked at the burly Titan Vincent and the senior Du Kang, who had exterminated entire families...

Suddenly, an uncontrollable urge to complain arose!

What a joke!

Who is the real professional killer here!?

Does this year's Ascend Peak Tower have to be so exaggerated!

At this moment, the sounds from inside seemed to have reached the outside as well.

"What the hell! Everyone, quiet down!"

Amidst the reprimanding voice, the door was quickly pushed open.

Two men, both armed with guns and possessing equally steady gaits and extraordinary strength, walked in.

When they saw Xu ZhengYi, whose upper body was almost split in half, their expressions immediately turned cold.

"What's going on!?"

"Who did this?"

Their gazes also fell on Li ChunJun.

Among the few people, only he was carrying a weapon.

Li ChunJun stood up calmly.

"I did it."

He looked up at the two people less than six meters away at the door, his right hand resting on the hilt of his sword: "So, are you going to strip me of my Ascend Peak Qualification?"
