For an ordinary martial artist, under the perfect coordination of Liang Haichao and his two companions, they would at least be severely injured if not killed.
But Liu Tiezhu was no ordinary man. When he served as a mercenary, he had crawled through "piles of corpses."
Neither his reflexes nor his strength could be compared to that of a martial artist.
Martial artists train in specific techniques, and many of their movements are bound by these forms.
As a result, these techniques also limit their reactions and speed.
Liu Tiezhu was different. In his past life, he had learned killing techniques, with no fixed forms at all.
He only knew which parts of the human body were most vulnerable and what methods to use to eliminate an opponent.
In his memory, there were no techniques—only extreme speed and the most precise ways to kill.
Even facing the three men's lethal assault, he showed no panic. He leaped into the air, his right leg shooting forward in a kick faster than Liang Haichao's.
With a sharp crack, Liu Tiezhu's foot struck Liang Haichao square on the chin.
Liang Haichao's features twisted in pain, and before he could even cry out, his body flew backward.
The daggers thrust by the other two landed on empty air.
Both were stunned, never expecting Liu Tiezhu to be so ferocious, advancing instead of retreating.
In the moment they hesitated, Liu Tiezhu was already in front of Liang Haichao.
"You—"
Before Liang Haichao could finish his words, Liu Tiezhu chopped down with his hand, striking his neck.
The force of the chop wasn't great, but it snapped Liang Haichao's throat bone, and he stopped breathing.
Having dealt with Liang Haichao, Liu Tiezhu didn't even look back. He swiftly darted to the left.
Thud, thud...
Almost simultaneously, two daggers grazed his waist as they stabbed at him.
The two men missed their strike and quickly retreated to create distance.
Now, seeing Liang Haichao dead, they felt a desire to flee.
Liu Tiezhu was simply too strong—more terrifying than the instructors of the Ming family's Blood Combat Team. They were no match for him.
At that moment, they mentally cursed Jiang Tianliang's ancestors for eighteen generations.
In the information Jiang Tianliang had given them, Liu Tiezhu was a newcomer, cunning but of average strength.
It was because of this information that they had underestimated Liu Tiezhu's combat ability, costing them two companions.
Now, even if they wanted to escape, it depended on whether Liu Tiezhu would allow it.
Guo Minshan thought for a moment and said, "Buddy, how about we call it quits here?"
"We're Jiang the Auditor's men. Kill us, and you'll bring endless trouble."
Now he could only hope that invoking Jiang Tianliang would make Liu Tiezhu think twice.
After all, Jiang Tianliang was a prominent figure in the camp.
Usually, unless it was a fight to the death, people would show him some respect.
Liu Tiezhu was just a newcomer. To establish himself in the Ming family, he wouldn't dare offend Jiang Tianliang.
That was what they thought, but they didn't realize that bringing up Jiang Tianliang would only hasten their deaths.
"Did Jiang Tianliang send you?" Liu Tiezhu asked with a faint smile.
Guo Minshan said, "That's right. You really don't know how to play the game."
"If you let us go, we can put in a good word for you with him and settle the grudge. How about it?"
"Screw that."
"Who do you think you are?"
Liu Tiezhu shot back without any courtesy.
As he spoke, his body lunged toward Guo Minshan like a cheetah.
When he was a meter away from Guo Minshan, he sprang into the air, spinning three hundred and sixty degrees, his right leg whipping down with a fierce wind, crashing onto Guo Minshan's head like a mountain falling.
This sequence seemed elaborate, but it was completed in just a few dozen seconds.
By the time Guo Minshan reacted, Liu Tiezhu's leg had already smashed into his skull.
Under the immense impact, Guo Minshan's entire body dropped straight to his knees.
Pfft...
A mouthful of blood spewed out, and blood seeped from Guo Minshan's eyes, ears, and mouth.
As Liu Tiezhu withdrew his leg, Guo Minshan collapsed to the ground, lifeless.
"That's damn brutal—a three-sixty spin in the air, like a circus act!"
Zhang Tieyan, watching from the sidelines, felt his blood boil and couldn't help cursing.
Liu Tiezhu's killing move was stunning—not only visually impressive but also carrying a powerful impact.
At that moment, Zhang Tieyan felt an urge to rush over, grab Liu Tiezhu's leg, and call him "big brother."
Zhang Tielin said nothing, but his heart was racing too.
He had been with the Ming family for five years and had seen many experts.
But so far, he had never witnessed a killing move as fierce as Liu Tiezhu's.
Especially that three-sixty spin—many in the Ming family could do it, but theirs were just flashy tricks.
Liu Tiezhu's, however, was clean and efficient, a true finishing move.
The remaining Guo Haishan dropped to his knees, kowtowing and begging for mercy.
It wasn't that he didn't want to run; he knew he couldn't escape.
"Big brother, don't kill me. I can tell you many of Jiang Tianliang's secrets."
At this point, the only thing he could think of was trading Jiang Tianliang's secrets for his own life.
"Aren't you afraid Jiang Tianliang will kill you for this?" Liu Tiezhu asked.
Guo Haishan said, "Big brother, we were tricked by that bastard Jiang Tianliang into coming after you."
"If he's heartless, don't blame me for being ruthless."
"As long as you spare me, I'll tell you these secrets and then leave the Ming family immediately."
Liu Tiezhu said, "Go ahead, then."
Guo Haishan didn't dare hide anything and spilled all of Jiang Tianliang's secrets.
"Are you sure you're not lying?"
Liu Tiezhu stared into Guo Haishan's eyes and asked coldly.
Guo Haishan said with a mournful face, "Big brother, my life is in your hands."
"Even with ten times the guts, I wouldn't dare lie."
"I believe you're not lying. Now you can go down and reunite with your brothers."
Liu Tiezhu sneered and struck immediately.
"You bastard—"
Before Guo Haishan could finish, Liu Tiezhu snapped his neck.
He never showed mercy to those who wanted him dead.
After dealing with the four, Liu Tiezhu searched their bodies for any valuables.
As he left, he turned his head and deliberately glanced in the direction of the Zhang brothers, giving them a warning.
Zhang Tieyan was startled: "Brother, he must have spotted us."
That look from him gave Zhang Tieyan the illusion that he wasn't being watched by a man, but by a hungry beast.
If he made any move, the beast would crush him without hesitation.
He looked at Zhang Tielin, whose forehead was covered in cold sweat.
Liu Tiezhu was too strong—just a single glance made him feel the breath of death.
Coming to his senses, Zhang Tielin quickly warned, "We must never provoke someone like this."
"Also, we need to keep today's events to ourselves."
Hearing this, Zhang Tieyan looked puzzled: "Then how do we report to Brother Jiang?"
Zhang Tielin took a deep breath and said, "Just give a simple daily report."
"If this guy earns Brother Jiang's trust, he'll definitely go far in the future."
"If we don't know our place, we won't end up well."
"If you don't want to die, it's best to keep the key details hidden."
He understood that someone like Liu Tiezhu wasn't someone he could mess with, and he needed to prepare an escape route in advance.
