"Level 6 creature killed, EXP +531!"

The message "appeared" on the Human Emperor Flag.

Immediately after, his EXP, already at 491/500, broke through the limit.

Life Level: 6 (522/600)

Promotion!

His Life Level rose directly from Level 5 to Level 6!

At the instant his Life Level rose, the agonizing pain in his waist—where it felt as though a hole had opened, constantly draining away his strength and body heat—seemed to be plugged by something.

A warm current washed through him, fully restoring the body heat and strength he had lost!

Not merely restored—compared to just now...

It was even greater than before.

Because his Life Level had increased.

When a level increased, all injuries and abnormal conditions would be completely healed.

At the same time, it granted a stronger physique, more vigorous spirit, and keener senses.

An all-round enhancement.

This was why Li ChunJun had chosen to stake his life against Sun Yongxing in a single exchange!

Otherwise, with Sun Yongxing's Inner Strength Great Accomplishment physique and martial attainments honed over many years of fame, he might not have been unable to kill him.

But now...

Li ChunJun lived.

Sun Yongxing died.

The three External Refinement Great Accomplishment experts who had come to encircle him exchanged a tacit glance.

The next moment, even against Li ChunJun, a heavily wounded man with half his body dyed red in blood, they attacked simultaneously without hesitation!

None retained the relaxed ease they had displayed while talking earlier.

One attacked from above, his saber chopping straight for Li ChunJun's head!

One attacked from below, his longsword striking at Li ChunJun's lower body!

Zhou Que, the last of them, darted forward, intending to deliver a fatal killing blow while Li ChunJun evaded the attacks from above and below!

Their attacks fit together perfectly, sealing off every path of Li ChunJun's evasion.

Let alone the "seriously wounded" Li ChunJun—even an Internal Strengthening Martial Artist at peak condition would have had to avoid their edge when faced with such an encirclement.

But Li ChunJun did not evade.

The instant the three-pronged assault arrived, the treasured sword in his hand flashed out like lightning, striking the saber in the guard's hand with precise dominance.

"Bang!"

Metal clashed!

Sparks burst!

At the same time, his body shifted halfway aside. As he retreated to evade the sharp sword thrust directly at him, the sword that had intercepted the saber borrowed the recoil of the collision, its momentum undiminished, and stabbed downward at the sword-wielding guard.

This forced the guard preparing to attack his lower body to hurriedly raise his sword in defense.

At that moment, the triangular spike in Zhou Que's hand followed close behind.

This thrust clearly bore Sun Yongxing's style.

Or rather, Sun Yongxing and Zhou Que might have been master and disciple.

But Li ChunJun, who had anticipated it long ago, shot out his right hand like lightning. Almost brushing against the triangular spike Zhou Que had thrust at him, he struck later yet arrived first, his five fingers clamping tightly around Zhou Que's wrist.

A grappling technique!?

There was practically no technique to speak of!

It relied solely on faster speed, sharper reactions, and perception keen enough to observe every tiny detail!

If Zhou Que possessed the same speed as Li ChunJun...

Not only could he have evaded this straightforward grab with no feints or changes, he could even have seized Li ChunJun's wrist in return.

Unfortunately...

He did not!

Li ChunJun was using the comprehensive enhancement brought by Life Level 6 to crush an External Refinement Great Accomplishment expert!

The instant his five fingers clamped around Zhou Que's wrist, violent force erupted from them!

"Crack!"

The sound of splintering bones rang out!

The pisiform, carpals, and lunate bones in Zhou Que's wrist were instantly crushed!

"Aah!"

Even an External Refinement Great Accomplishment Martial Artist like Zhou Que could not stop a miserable scream from escaping under such excruciating pain.

"Die!"

The saber-wielding guard whom Li ChunJun had sent flying with one strike roared, his saber sweeping toward Li ChunJun's head with the force of an army-sweeping charge.

This slash was enough to decapitate him!

Li ChunJun tilted and lowered his head.

As his body evaded the sweeping slash, his right foot suddenly lashed out.

That kick struck the triangular spike that had fallen from Zhou Que's hand after his wrist was crushed!

Directly before that kick, the sword-wielding guard, crouched low and originally intending to attack Li ChunJun's lower body, had just managed to block Li ChunJun's descending sword.

As their forces collided and their Qi and Blood churned, he could only watch helplessly as the triangular spike kicked by Li ChunJun shot forth like an arrow launched from a fully drawn bow.

"No!"

Amid a terrified, unwilling cry, the triangular spike instantly struck the center of his brow and pierced through.

"Splat!"

Its tip protruded from the back of his skull.

Blood dripped from the point along the blood groove.

"Whoosh!"

At the same time, force exploded beneath Li ChunJun's feet.

His body, which had tilted aside to avoid the horizontal slash, sprang out almost sideways.

His violent strength, far surpassing that of an External Refinement Martial Artist, forcibly dragged Zhou Que off balance and sent him pitching forward.

Sensing danger, Zhou Que endured the pain and tried to steady himself, only to see a cold gleam sweep across his throat as his body tilted, carrying a chill that pierced straight into the heart.

Dragging saber!

Or rather, dragging sword!

As Li ChunJun shot sideways and backward, throwing Zhou Que off balance, the sharp sword in his left hand completed a one-strike kill against the External Refinement Martial Artist.

Crimson blood gushed from the slit in Zhou Que's throat.

Having just regained his balance, Zhou Que felt the coldness constantly pouring into his throat, and unprecedented terror instantly flooded his entire body.

His hand clutched desperately at his throat, trying to seal the wound, trying to force the blood back inside.

But...

The weakness brought by terror shattered his will and Heart Power, while the surging blood drained every last ounce of strength from him. He dropped to his knees, then turned in panic toward the noblewoman, President Song, and the others, opening his mouth...

As though he wanted to say, "Save me!"

But the moment he opened his mouth, a great flood of blood poured out.

It choked back every word he wanted to say.

Yet the impact of this sight inflicted an immensely horrifying visual shock upon not only the other saber-wielding guard, but also the noblewoman, President Song, and the others!

The guards they relied upon to ensure their safety had died before their eyes in such a bloody manner...

Madam Song, who had never seen such a cruel scene, could not help letting out a terrified scream!

"Aah!"

The piercing cry tore through the night sky!

It also jolted Madam Jin, President Song, and the others out of their fear.

Especially the guards beside them, who rushed to their sides at once.

"Madam, leave this place now!"

"Boss, we have to go immediately!"

"Quick, go! Run!"

In truth, they did not need the reminder. Madam Jin, President Song, and Madam Song, awakened from their shock, were already fleeing in terror toward the house.

Elegance, poise, etiquette—at this moment, they cast them all beyond the ninth heaven!

At this moment, they had only one thought!

Run!

Get out of here!

Get as far away from that terrifying fiend as possible!

Unfortunately, Li ChunJun had no intention of letting them go.

At eight or nine at night, he had not come to the Jin Family instead of staying home to sleep and watch television merely to kill people, nor had he come simply to vent his anger by killing a few guards.

He had come to wipe out the family.
