Prologue!

　　"A day in the mountains, a hundred years in the world..."

　　……

　　"This man is the only son of the Wang Group, not someone a few small-time cops like us can afford to provoke. Just pretend you didn't see anything, let's go!"

　　……

　　"Standing up for justice is admirable, but your actions were far too severe. Please come with me to the police station!"

　　……

　　"His actions should be commended, but the higher-ups have already given orders: charge him with malicious assault, three years in prison. As for whether he can come out alive, that depends on Young Mr. Miller's mood."

　　……

　　"Prison break! Someone has broken out of prison, this is lawlessness! I authorize you to open fire!"

　　……

　　"Blood?"

　　……

　　"Sir, please believe us, we mean no harm. We only wish to help you, to help the few remaining martial artists among the people! That day, Young Master was also present, but he did not have the courage you did to step forward and save that innocent girl!"

　　……

　　"Evan Grant, you've already caught the attention of the state! Chivalry through martial force is a crime! If the law is to be fully enforced and promoted, martial artists powerful enough to threaten their status must be eliminated. At present, there are fewer than twenty true martial artists left in the world!"

　　……

　　"As a swordsman, if I lose the courage to draw my sword for justice, then... I am not worthy of being a true swordsman!"

　　……

　　"This is a law-based society ruled by firearms!"

　　……

　　"Rule of law!"

　　……

　　"Even if you want to act, you must never reveal your identity as a martial artist! Otherwise, the government will launch a full-scale manhunt. With your current martial arts strength, you cannot possibly withstand the might of modern firearms!"

　　……

　　"Evan Grant! Peerless swordsman!"

　　……

　　"We all know that this Eric Hamilton is a scum of society, human trash. We're grateful you brought him to the police station, but the forces behind him are simply too powerful. With a father at the level of a deputy minister, any evidence of his crimes is wiped clean by all sorts of means! We simply have no grounds to convict him!"

　　……

　　"Kid, you actually dare go against me, Young Master? Let's see how you die!"

　　……

　　"Brian Carter, Blake, I feel... I am no longer worthy of being called a swordsman!"

　　……

　　"……"

　　……

　　"This world must have rules. Once rules are set, they must be enforced. If the enforcers do not enforce them, then..."

　　"I will!"

　　……

　　"Special report: A major murder case has occurred at Baiyun Garden, Xinnan City... The deceased is named Eric Hamilton..."

　　……

　　"At all costs, at all costs, I want you to do whatever it takes to find that murderer! Peerless swordsman? So what if he's the number one swordsman in the world? The ones who rule this world now are not swords, but technology! The military!"

　　……

　　"Heh... Evan Grant is right! We can back down, but that doesn't mean our enemies will stop just because we do! Guns can kill our bodies, can destroy our lives, but they cannot crush the unyielding spirit in our hearts, the spirit of martial arts! Now, let us unleash it fully, and fight gloriously!"

　　……

　　"First squad in position, awaiting orders!"

　　"Second squad has reached the designated location, awaiting orders!"

　　"Sniper squad has occupied all vantage points, awaiting orders!"

　　"All roads have been completely sealed off, ensuring no one escapes the scene!"

　　……

　　"The last three martial artists in the country have all gathered here! These three are the most powerful practitioners in the martial world, each having reached the limits of the human body! With their deaths, the word 'martial' will cease to exist in this country!"

　　……

　　"Operation Annihilate Martial Arts! Officially launched!"

　　……

　　"Ratatatat... Boom!"

　　……

　　"Target Brian Carter, confirmed dead! Repeat..."

　　……

　　"Target Blake, confirmed dead! Repeat..."

　　……

　　"Third squad under heavy attack, requesting backup, requesting backup..."

　　……

　　"Target spotted, target spotted!"

　　……

　　"The final desperate charge? Fire at will!"

　　……

　　"The sword... endures..."

　　……

　　"Impossible! Impossible! One man, one sword, it's impossible to have such overwhelming combat power! Especially in this era where it's said even the Innate Secret Realm cannot be broken through!"

　　"Bombardment! Bombard Anning Peak!"

　　"Boom!"
