Unrivaled Soldier in the City

"Is that so? Then let’s fight. We’ll find out who’s right after we’re done!" Fang Guangwang said with a cold laugh.

The next moment, he made his move again, wielding his pitch-black Double Daggers and attacking Lin Kuang directly. Lin Kuang remained composed, engaging Fang Guangwang in battle with the Nameless Sword. By now, the staff had long since fled in terror, scattering to parts unknown. A scene like this was more than they could handle.

This exchange immediately made Fang Guangwang’s heart grow heavy. He now realized just how strong Lin Kuang truly was. At this moment, he could see no clear path to victory. Fang Guangwang was certain of this, and the realization shocked him to the core. He never expected Lin Kuang to be this powerful.

At the same time, Lin Kuang’s expression was also grim. Although he had severely wounded Fang Guangwang with a gun, the man’s combat strength and experience were absolutely terrifying.

This old geezer is really tough. Thank God I managed to wound him badly with the gun first. Otherwise, I really wouldn’t stand much of a chance against him, Lin Kuang thought.

"Is this the extent of your strength? And you were threatening to kill me? Your power isn’t all that impressive. To think you wanted to kill me with just this... I’d say you’re seriously overestimating yourself," Lin Kuang said with a smirk.

Hearing this, Fang Guangwang’s expression shifted, his already grim face flushing red with anger. He didn’t want to admit it, but Lin Kuang was right. Killing Lin Kuang now would be incredibly difficult. A single mistake could get him killed instead, and this was no laughing matter.

"What? Bit off more than you can chew? Cat got your tongue?

"Look at you, an old man like yourself should be more careful with his words. Won’t it be embarrassing when you can’t back them up? How will you save face then?

"Oh, my mistake. You won’t have to worry about saving face, because I’m going to kill you," Lin Kuang continued with a smile.

His words struck like a volley of cannonballs, enraging Fang Guangwang until his face turned crimson, his eyes blazing with murderous intent.

"Brat, you’re courting death! You’re dead! I’ll kill you today for sure!" Fang Guangwang roared furiously.

He was terrible with words. When it came to a battle of wits, ten of him would be no match for Lin Kuang, let alone one.

"Then kill me. Why are you shouting about it? I’m standing right here," Lin Kuang said with a look of feigned exasperation. "Come on, kill me if you’ve got the guts. I haven’t done anything, so why are you getting so worked up?"

Upon hearing this, Fang Guangwang seethed, huffing like an exhausted old bull. He was so furious it looked like steam was about to shoot from his nostrils.

"Alright, alright, stop your huffing. It’s awful to listen to. Watch this, I’m going for your throat," Lin Kuang said with a grin, whipping the Nameless Sword forward. Its sharp tip shot toward Fang Guangwang’s throat.

Seeing this, Fang Guangwang sidestepped, instantly avoiding the attack. At the same time, he swung his daggers, striking the blade of the Nameless Sword and parrying it away.

"Nice one, you actually dodged. But don’t relax yet. Now I’m going for your waist," Lin Kuang said with a smile, swinging the Nameless Sword again in a wide slash aimed at Fang Guangwang’s midsection.

Fang Guangwang didn’t dare let his guard down. He ducked low, using his dagger to block the tip of the Nameless Sword. He knew that Nameless was a Soft Sword. The best way to counter such a weapon was to block its tip; otherwise, the flexible blade could easily curve around a parry.

"Dodged again? Impressive. Alright, this one’s for your heart," Lin Kuang said, smiling.

His hand holding the Nameless suddenly shifted. Activating Extreme Shadow Illusion, he shot forward and thrust the Nameless Sword fiercely at Fang Guangwang’s heart.

Fang Guangwang instinctively sidestepped, his daggers lashing out to block the attack.

Tragically for him, this strike wasn’t aimed at his heart at all. Lin Kuang was completely bluffing! After the previous call-outs, Fang Guangwang had assumed Lin Kuang was being truthful again, so he instinctively moved to protect his heart. He had fallen completely into Lin Kuang’s combat rhythm!

Seeing Fang Guangwang dodge to protect his heart, Lin Kuang laughed inwardly. At that moment, his hand dipped, and the Nameless Sword shot directly toward Fang Guangwang’s lower abdomen.

Fang Guangwang’s face fell. He never expected Lin Kuang to switch moves at that instant. By the time he tried to dodge or counter, it was too late.

He grit his teeth, his eyes burning with fury. How could he not know he’d been played by Lin Kuang? But now was no time for anger. He had to evade this attack, or he would die here.

With that thought, True Qi surged through Fang Guangwang’s body. He twisted violently, trying desperately to avoid the blow.

It had to be said, Fang Guangwang was truly a master. Even in this predicament, he still managed to avoid a fatal blow. The Nameless Sword scraped past his lower abdomen. Lin Kuang himself was surprised by Fang Guangwang’s skill and reaction speed.

However, he wasn’t out of options. With the Nameless Sword right next to Fang Guangwang’s abdomen, this was the perfect opportunity to strike, and Lin Kuang had no intention of letting it slip by. With a flick of his wrist, he changed the thrust into a horizontal slash, sweeping the blade toward Fang Guangwang’s abdomen.

With a taut expression, Fang Guangwang shot backward, trying desperately to evade. But while he was fast, Lin Kuang was faster. The Nameless Sword was already too close, and combined with Lin Kuang’s speed, there was no way for Fang Guangwang to dodge completely.

In an instant, Nameless sliced across Fang Guangwang’s stomach, and blood immediately gushed from the wound. Luckily, he had reacted just fast enough. Otherwise, the sword would have disemboweled him, leaving him utterly crippled.

Even so, Fang Guangwang’s expression was incredibly grim, his eyes filled with a venomous, murderous glare. He tapped a series of points on his abdomen with his fingers, and the bleeding instantly stopped.

"Excellent. Just excellent, Lin Kuang. You’ve thoroughly enraged me. Now I’ll show you the price for doing so!" Fang Guangwang snarled, the murderous intent in his eyes surging.

At this, Lin Kuang frowned. He felt that something bad was about to happen. A strong sense of unease washed over him—a premonition of danger.

Just then, Fang Guangwang’s expression twisted into a ferocious snarl as a pitch-black aura erupted from his body.
