"I told you to stop, didn't you hear me!?"
Li Chunjun's ears rang with the angry shout from the suited man. He could also see the way Tan Li looked at him, as if he were a madman.
Even someone as fierce as Vincent or Du Kang, who had bloodstains on their hands from killing, couldn't help but shudder when they saw the unflinching coldness in Li Chunjun's eyes after the murder.
Li Chunjun calmly shook the blood off his sword.
As the suited man's anger boiled over, Li Chunjun responded, "You just said that in Summit Tower, if you make a mistake, you have to pay the price. So, in other words, as long as I can bear the price, I can do whatever I want."
His words made the suited man's anger subside slightly.
He looked at Li Chunjun. "Summit Tower has its own rules. If you want to disregard them, you must have enough power to back it up."
"Then six blood wolves are not enough," Li Chunjun replied calmly. "Add seven more warrior-level fighters to chase me, or..."
He stared at the suited man. "Add you, an Innate Realm Warrior?"
An Innate Realm Warrior!?
Tan Li, Vincent, and Du Kang all widened their eyes in shock! This suited man was actually an Innate Realm Warrior!?
An Innate Realm Warrior is someone who has connected the bridge between heaven and earth, using the microcirculation to influence the macrocosm. By using magical arrays, they can channel the power of heaven and earth into their bodies, refining their physique and breaking through the human body's limits, becoming an existence akin to a "superman."
At that point, they can easily defeat tigers and leopards.
"You want to fight all of us?" the suited man said with a sneer. "You've got guts."
All of us?
Tan Li glanced at the two men beside him.
Including the four still alive at the door and the suited man, that made eight people.
Suddenly, the "No-Life Blade" Tan Li's eyes contracted.
Does he really want to fight all eight of them!?
This was too arrogant...
No!
It's not arrogance!
It's madness!
Thinking of fighting them, including the suited Innate Realm Warrior, all eight of them—this is madness, right?
This is what a true desperate person looks like!
Tan Li thought, compared to this young man who was under twenty, with a hint of childishness still visible, he felt like a mere assassin from the underground world was as pure as a little white flower—harmless.
"I'm not that bold," Li Chunjun said calmly. "When I see car accident videos or videos of people committing murder in the streets, or even videos of bullying and humiliation, I quickly swipe them away and close the tabs."
His tone carried a hint of emotion. "I can't stand human suffering."
This statement made not only Tan Li but even the suited man, Ye Sheng, twitch his lips.
However, after observing Li Chunjun carefully, Ye Sheng realized that...
He didn't seem to be lying.
At least, Ye Sheng believed he wasn't lying.
"I've always believed that this world is not as dark as people imagine. Even if some things happen, they're rare events, and they don't concern ordinary people like me. Overall, the world is still filled with harmony and beauty. There's no need to focus on those rare occurrences and create anxiety and inner conflict."
Li Chunjun continued.
"You mean..." Ye Sheng frowned. "You're saying that small probability events don't need too much attention. And if a problem inevitably comes my way, there's no need to worry or panic, because we just scare ourselves?"
Li Chunjun looked at him and calmly said, "Either the person who creates the problem dies, or I die."
His calm tone immediately made Ye Sheng realize something, and his expression turned serious.
"Just like now, Summit Tower wants to make me pay a price. This price... Either I can't bear it and get killed by you, or I bear it and kill all of you."
Li Chunjun said, "People are just afraid of overthinking and being too clever. In reality, once you strip away the man-made rules and anxieties, the essence of things is very simple, isn't it?"
Ye Sheng stared at Li Chunjun.
Now he understood.
This person is insane.
But he was still remarkably rational and calm.
Li Chunjun lifted his sword and looked at the Innate Realm Warrior. "So, shall we hurry up?"
Ye Sheng glanced at the blood-stained sword.
And...
The power that rivaled even an Innate Realm Warrior thought that the guy in front of reeked of trouble.
But...
Does he really think that by going mad, he can become invincible?
Just as Ye Sheng was considering how to deal with this, one of the men who had been standing with the gunman suddenly spoke up, "Mr. Liu, Mr. Zhang have passed the new resolution. The test will be conducted differently."
He looked at Li Chunjun. "Let the remaining three contestants face Li Chunjun in a weapon duel. If they win, they pass the test. If they lose, it will prove that Li Chunjun has the strength of a peak master, and such strength is worthy of Summit Tower making an exception for his actions."
Ye Sheng didn't argue.
Letting the three contestants test Li Chunjun's real strength wasn't a bad idea.
That way, even if higher-ups later ordered him to deal with this rule-breaker, he would have enough confidence.
"You heard that?" Ye Sheng looked up at the three men.
Despite their serious expressions, the three of them didn't have the courage to face Li Chunjun one-on-one.
But with weapons, it's a different story.
Three top-tier warriors armed would be able to take on an Innate Realm Warrior.
Moreover, the situation clearly didn't give them a chance to say "no."
"Alright," Vincent said in a low voice.
Tan Li and Du Kang also nodded.
They were all death row inmates, so they could only fight for their lives.
Ye Sheng turned to Li Chunjun. "This is the price you have to pay for breaking the rules of Summit Tower."
Li Chunjun nodded.
This price...
Was very affordable.
"Follow me," Ye Sheng said, and without leading them to hunt the blood wolves, he walked toward a small house.
There was an open space in front of the small house.
Perfect for a battle.
As soon as they arrived, the three contestants were immediately taken inside to pick their weapons.
Soon, they emerged, each with a sharp sword and a battle knife.
Vincent was good with an axe, but since Li Chunjun's sword was so fast, using a heavy axe was almost like asking to die.
The other two contestants also chose lightweight weapons to avoid being caught off guard by Li Chunjun's swift sword.
Soon, they arrived at the open space in front of the small house.
One of the men in green quickly set up a camera and pointed it at them.
But Li Chunjun directly looked at him. "Turn it off."
"This is promotional material. It needs to be shown when you ascend to Summit Tower, as per the regulations," the man in green explained.
"Turn it off."
Li Chunjun calmly replied. "This is my rule."
He looked at him. "If you touch Summit Tower's rules again, I won't mind adding you to the list."
The man in green's expression darkened, his gaze cold.
Li Chunjun also stared at him.
For a full breath, the man in green finally put the camera away, not daring to continue confronting Li Chunjun's deceptively calm eyes.
