"We've got a situation!"
"Over there—that's Kong Fang's squad!"
"Send a signal! Wang Yue, come with me for support!"
There was no denying it—Xuan Yue Security was one of the top security firms in the entire Xuan Province.
Among non-cultivators, they represented the strongest armed force that the wealthy elite could hire.
Within ten seconds of hearing the disturbance from Kong Fang's direction, a reinforcement team of ten—led by two Integration Realm martial artists—was already rushing toward the scene.
One of them immediately fired a flare into the night sky.
The bright light illuminated the battlefield—
And what they saw made their hearts freeze.
---
"Whoosh!"
Like a dragon unleashed, Li Chunjun slaughtered the middle-aged fighter and the thin martial artist with ease.
Then, like an arrow fired from a drawn bow, he collided with the airborne Kong Fang in an instant.
The sheer speed of the charge—combined with Kong Fang's helpless midair state—
Made any attempt to counter impossible.
The next moment—
Under the blazing light of the signal flare, in full view of the approaching reinforcements—
Li Chunjun's sword pierced straight through Kong Fang's chest.
No!
Not just Kong Fang!
Kong Fang had crashed into the youngest operative, pinning the two together.
Now—
Li Chunjun's sword drove through Kong Fang's body, then continued straight through the young man behind him!
"Boom!"
Only now did the sound of impact ring out—
Kong Fang's chest caved in, his ribs shattered from the brutal collision.
The unrelenting force of Li Chunjun's charge sent both men flying back another three to four meters.
And then—
With a sharp twist of his wrist, Li Chunjun ripped his sword free.
Blood sprayed into the night, a crimson mist catching the flare's glow—
A scene both beautiful and terrifying.
The ten elite security operatives—led by Wang Yue—arrived just in time to witness it all.
They were stunned.
But—
Li Chunjun didn't stop.
The hesitation that once existed in his heart had long faded away.
He no longer felt the slightest discomfort from driving a sword into human flesh.
Just like a butcher, after slaughtering hundreds of pigs and sheep, would no longer feel a shred of hesitation.
They only became more precise, more efficient.
With a sharp flick of his arm, Li Chunjun shook the blood off his blade.
Its cold gleam remained undiminished.
His movements never faltered as he charged toward Jin Estate No. 6—
Or rather—
Toward the ten men who had arrived to stop him.
---
Swift. Clean.
Flawless execution.
The way Li Chunjun moved forward without expression—
His absolute resolve to kill—
Made Wang Yue and his team break into cold sweat.
Some of the younger operatives could feel their hands trembling.
But—
That fear only lasted a moment.
They were Xuan Yue Security elites.
They were all at least Internal Strength martial artists.
And most importantly—
They had just watched their comrades be slaughtered.
Rage burned away their fear.
Their killing intent surged!
"Arrogant bastard!"
"Brother Kong! We'll make them pay in blood!"
"No one kills Xuan Yue operatives and walks away alive!"
"Kill him!"
Ten men roared, their swords, spears, and blades flashing as they rushed forward in formation.
Two Integration Realm martial artists—
Eight Internal Strength warriors—
Even against a top-tier martial master, they could hold their ground until reinforcements arrived.
Once Minister Lu Jing led another team to back them up—
It wouldn't matter how strong the enemy was.
They would die.
This was the strength of Xuan Yue Security.
This was why they had the confidence to take on a mission—
Even when it meant facing a peerless martial master.
---
As the two sides closed in, neither willing to back down, the distance between them shrank to less than twenty meters.
Suddenly, two Xuan Yue Security operatives—both experts in hidden weapons—made their move.
Daggers and throwing knives whistled through the air, slicing toward Li Chunjun with deadly precision.
His eyes narrowed.
After multiple rounds of strengthening, his hearing had become exceptional—
And his vision, even more so.
His dynamic eyesight allowed him to track even the slightest movements.
Even though the light from the flare was starting to fade, the moment those two threw their weapons—
He saw everything.
With a flick of his sword, he deflected the dagger.
"Clang!"
Sparks flew.
As for the throwing knife—
A slight tilt of his head was all it took.
It whizzed past his left ear, disappearing into the night.
And just like that—
He had neutralized their opening attack.
The gap between them had now closed to under ten meters.
---
Just as the two sides were about to clash, Li Chunjun channeled his explosive strength into his legs.
His toes dug into the ground, muscles tensed—
And then—
BOOM!
His already insane speed soared to another level.
More importantly—
His attack trajectory shifted.
Instead of charging straight at all ten enemies, he angled his sprint toward a single target at the edge.
That single move—
Made one of the Integration Realm martial artists at the front flick his gaze to two teammates.
No words were needed.
Their training and battle instincts were enough.
In an instant, the formation adjusted.
But before their adjustment was complete—
Li Chunjun was already upon his chosen target: a seasoned Internal Strength fighter.
---
The man understood his role.
He only needed to stall Li Chunjun for a few seconds.
That would give his teammates enough time to trap the attacker in their formation.
Within twenty seconds, the rest of Xuan Yue Security's reinforcements would arrive—
And this murderous madman would be dead.
If he could pull this off—
He would be a hero.
His eyes hardened with resolve.
With a roar, he swung his war blade downward, carrying the power to split mountains and crack stone.
His attack aimed to completely cut off Li Chunjun's path.
But—
There was no "but."
It was over.
He had overestimated himself.
Or rather—
He had underestimated Li Chunjun's raw power.
Li Chunjun's sword strike came like thunder, screaming through the air with a piercing screech—
And shattered the war blade.
Then, without slowing down, the sword punched straight through his skull.
The force of the charge didn't stop.
His body was hurled sideways, crashing into another teammate.
---
Li Chunjun didn't follow up on the man he had thrown.
Instead—
He leaped.
His raw explosive power let him completely bypass the two Integration Realm martial artists trying to trap him.
By the time they reacted—
He had already reached another target.
The Internal Strength warrior in his sights had just enough time to lock eyes with him—
Before a blade flash cut across his throat.
"Shit! Change formation!"
Wang Yue's roar came just as their ten-man squad—
No.
Their eight-man squad now—
scrambled to readjust.
---
But it was pointless.
Li Chunjun was simply too fast.
His speed and explosive bursts made it impossible for them to pull him into their formation.
As long as their reaction speed couldn't keep up—
He held the absolute advantage.
He could pick his targets at will.
And that meant—
At any given moment—
He was only fighting one person at a time.
"Whoosh!"
A sudden sharp turn—
Li Chunjun dodged past Wang Yue and the other Integration Realm martial artist,
And dived straight into the ranks of the remaining Internal Strength warriors.
His blade flashed twice.
Two more fountains of red mist bloomed in the night.
Wang Yue and his fellow Integration Realm master's eyes burned red.
"Bastard!"
"Form up! Defensive stance!"
Despite their fury, they reacted swiftly, shifting the formation to a tight defensive shell—
Back-to-back, guarding against Li Chunjun's relentless strikes.
They just needed to hold out.
Hold out until Minister Lu Jing's reinforcements arrived—
---
But just as the six remaining men braced themselves to hold their ground—
The world around them darkened.
The flare's light—
Had faded away.
