Terrifying Monster

Whoosh!

At this moment, Li Jinshui had already returned to the station building.

Despite two consecutive high-speed sprints and unleashing two full-power strikes of Lightning Pulse Step, he didn't even pant, standing calmly with his hands behind his back at the base of the building.

This level of exertion meant nothing to him.

"It seems the situation isn't too dire. I haven't fought in so long that I underestimated my own strength!"

Li Jinshui offered a cold smile. Looking at the chaotic crowd surrounding him, an uncontrollable chill of slaughter rose in his eyes.

Just as he had guessed, while the gang members were numerous, less than ten percent of them could truly be considered martial artists.

Furthermore, the enemy had dispatched their high-end combatants to deal with Old Huang and the others, meaning there were no Thousand-Jun Realm experts present here.

"Without a Thousand-Jun Realm expert, what does it matter how many of you come?"

Li Jinshui stepped forward, his aura erupting with overwhelming force.

A ninth-grade First-rate Martial Artist could already claim to be one against a hundred.

As a Flawless Realm first-rate expert with surging vitality, these hundreds of rabble were nothing more than ants.

At this moment, the gang members who had fallen into chaos were being rallied once more.

In the darkness, someone could be heard shouting angrily:

"Don't panic! He's a First-rate Martial Artist, but so am I! What the hell are you afraid of?"

"Damn it, he dared to kill so many of our Venom Snake Gang brothers. We must chop him up tonight to avenge them!"

"So what if he's a First-rate Martial Artist? He's only one man. If we all go at once, we can exhaust him to death!"

"That's right! I want to see if he runs out of steam first or if we all die first."

"Kill, kill, kill!"

"Charge!"

Soon, deafening roars erupted from all directions.

Under the night sky, the dense crowd, resembling a swarm of locusts, revealed only hundreds of pairs of eyes flashing with malice and ferocity.

Li Jinshui tilted his head back, closed his eyes, and exhaled slowly, letting the vitality within his body roar like a surging river.

Who in this world didn't know?

I, Li Jinshui, was born low-key, approachable, humble, and kind to the people... I have never proactively bullied others or stirred up trouble!

"Why, why must you villains force my hand again and again?"

Li Jinshui suddenly opened his eyes and let out a long, compassionate howl.

Immediately, his entire body transformed into a brilliant blue human lightning bolt, surging with immense vitality as he charged into the crowd.

Overwhelming leg shadows crackled with electricity, sweeping through the crowd like a scythe through wheat, causing figures to collapse one after another.

The Heaven Rewards Diligence panel flickered with endless feedback.

[Killed one in a dangerous situation, Heaven Rewards Diligence, Lightning Pulse Step +10]

On the second floor of the station, there was dead silence.

Everyone crowded by the windows, watching the terrifying scene below as Li Jinshui moved like a god of thunder, slaughtering without mercy. They were dumbfounded, their throats parched.

"Gulp..."

Chen Dali swallowed hard, his legs trembling, his voice shaking: "The... the squad leader, when did he become a First-rate Martial Artist?"

The classmates beside him were all stunned, unable to speak.

A First-rate Martial Artist?

The squad leader was clearly more terrifying than any First-rate Martial Artist!

The power unleashed in every move was almost comparable to the experts of the Thousand-Jun Realm, right?

On the other side, the ten veteran riders summoned from various stations, who had been resigned to death and planning to flee, were now trembling, their scalps tingling.

So this young station master wasn't a nepotism hire, nor was he a pawn for the company—this guy was a killing machine!

"Is this... even human?"

Deputy Station Master Lin Zhen gasped repeatedly, his heart churning with turbulent waves.

As a First-rate Martial Artist himself, he knew he couldn't achieve this; he couldn't even manage half a percent of it. The gap was like heaven and earth; there was simply no comparison.

"No wonder Battalion Commander Huang and the others bet on him. This... this is a monster."

At this moment, Lin Zhen's mind was racing. He had originally come here to risk his life for double pay.

He never imagined that this wasn't just double pay, but a heaven-sent fortune!

If I can make it out alive tonight, I must cling to this big shot's leg in the future!

And my daughter—why is she only ten? If she had been born just six or seven years earlier, this fortune would belong to our Lin family!

Meanwhile, the four groups of people downstairs had gradually converged, their shouts and screams ringing out incessantly amidst the flashes of lightning.

"Die, you bastard!"

Seeing his men falling in droves, the leader of the Venom Snake Gang roared. Exploding with the formidable blood energy of a First-rate Martial Artist, he thrust his spear out from the crowd like a viper, aiming for Li Jinshui's back.

"Bang!"

Without even turning his head, Li Jinshui casually whipped his leg backward, striking the spearhead directly.

Boom!

A violent, overwhelming surge of blood energy surged down the length of the spear.

"Pfft!"

The ferocity on the Venom Snake Gang leader's face froze instantly. The webbing between his thumb and forefinger, gripping the spear, split open, and the force sent him stumbling back seven or eight steps, a mouthful of blood spraying from his lips.

"This is impossible!"

Terror gripped his heart; he couldn't believe it.

As fellow First-rate Martial Artists, his own blood energy had been instantly crushed by the opponent's thick, powerful force during that head-on collision.

"Old Snake, how are you?"

"That kid is actually this fierce?"

At this moment, the leaders of the other three gangs gathered around. Seeing the Venom Snake Gang leader's injuries, their eyes widened in shock.

"This kid probably isn't a Ninth-grade First-rate Martial Artist; he's likely in the Flawless Realm, exclusive to those noble elites," the Venom Snake Gang leader said, his face dark as thunder.

This was completely different from the intelligence he had received—it was off by a ridiculous margin.

The original report claimed the target was only a Second-rate Martial Artist, with only one deputy station chief at the Ninth-grade First-rate level.

Yet, it had turned into this!

"We can't keep fighting him head-on!"

The Venom Snake Gang leader steadied his internal injuries and looked at the other three leaders, saying in a deep voice, "Have your men surround him. Let's exhaust his blood energy first, then we'll join forces to take him down."

"Damn it, why should it be our men?"

One of the leaders frowned. "Your Venom Snake Gang has lost plenty, but my East Star Society has lost quite a few as well!"

"Nothing to be done about it; he targeted your men first."

Another leader shrugged. "Besides, the situation is so chaotic now that our Hung Hing men are all blocked outside and can't get in at all!"

"Same for us in Hung Lok."

The fourth leader said grimly, "Don't quibble over this now. Let your men go first. Once they're wiped out, it'll naturally be our turn. When we collect the bounty, whoever lost more men will get the bigger share."

"Damn it!"

The Venom Snake Gang leader gritted his teeth and cursed, but he didn't refuse.

He focused his energy into his dantian and shouted at the top of his lungs, "Brothers, charge! This kid is almost done for; his blood energy is about to run dry! Whoever takes his head gets..."

"Squelch!"

Before the Venom Snake Gang leader could finish, a cold, white gleam flashed through the crowd, instantly piercing his throat and tearing away a large chunk of flesh.

"Urgh... gurgle..."

The Venom Snake Gang leader's eyes bulged, his hands clutching his throat, but he couldn't stop the blood gushing out frantically.

Under the horrified and stunned gazes of the other three leaders, he collapsed straight into the pool of blood, dead before he could even close his eyes.

[Killed an enemy in a desperate situation, Heaven Rewards Diligence, Meteor Chasing Moon +50]

"What are you squawking about?"

Li Jinshui put down the throwing knife with a look of annoyance, ignoring the other three leaders.

He hadn't wanted to kill the ringleaders so quickly; once the heads were dead, the morale would scatter and the team would be hard to lead, making the subsequent chase much more troublesome.

But this guy just had to keep yapping and screeching, making everyone's head ache!

The main point was that the human-wave tactic was too hard to endure; if it were any other First-rate Martial Artist, they would have collapsed long ago.

"Throw me two batteries down here!"

Li Jinshui looked up and shouted at the floor above.

He was covered in blood, but it was being rapidly evaporated and dried by his scorching blood energy and electric arcs; he was sticky all over, but he didn't have the time to wipe it off.

When facing a human-wave tactic, endurance is everything.

The Lightning Pulse Step is known for its low consumption and long endurance, which relies primarily on these high-capacity batteries for assistance.

From the start of the fight until now, the four batteries on his legs were nearly depleted.

But he had no intention of retreating, nor did he intend to let these people off.

It was absolutely not out of greed for the feedback from Heaven Rewards Diligence.

An old man once said, land one punch to avoid a hundred more!

That saying holds true everywhere.

If he didn't strike enough fear into these gangland scum, if he didn't break their spirits, they would only dare to come back and cause trouble later.

And then there was Wei Hu Security...

"Heh, so Wei Hu Security wants to blow this up too?"

Li Jinshui sneered, "Then I'll make sure this escalates until none of you can handle the fallout. Tonight, none of you are leaving."
