Chapter 659: Chapter 659: Horizontal Kung Fu
Lin Kuang had intended to get intimate with Yang Ruoxi, but the sudden appearance of these five figures completely ruined his mood, souring it instantly. "Ruoxi, wait here. I’ll go take a look," he said with a smile, patting her head.
Yang Ruoxi blushed and nodded, quickly straightening her disheveled clothes as Lin Kuang stepped outside.
At that moment, two men in black from Wumi Building were blocking the path of the five intruders.
"So the Dong Family brought reinforcements? And Bai Longming, you leave the comfort of Hangcheng to come to the East Sea? Are you looking to die?" Lin Kuang said, his expression darkening as he looked at the five men before him.
He didn’t recognize two of the middle-aged men, but he had certainly seen Dong Wanchun, Dong Chongyi, and Bai Longming before. The presence of those three made it clear that the other two must also be from the Dong Family. They were obviously here to deal with him, so he saw no reason to be polite.
"Hmph, you’re quite an arrogant brat!" Dong Liujian sneered, murderous intent flashing in his eyes.
"Arrogant? Am I the one being arrogant, or is your Dong Family simply going too far?" Lin Kuang retorted coldly, staring at Dong Liujian.
"You struck a member of our Dong Family. It’s only natural that we teach you a lesson. Is that not normal?" Dong Liushi, standing beside Dong Liujian, chimed in.
"Tsk, tsk. I struck a member of your family? Why don’t you mention how arrogant Dong Chongyi and his father were? As for Bai Longming, he challenged me to a duel, lost, and then went crying to his elders. Tsk, tsk, it’s the classic story: beat the young, and the old come running. Why didn’t his old man come? The illegitimate son of the Family Head... that’s quite a status, isn’t it?" Lin Kuang said with a sneer.
Hearing Lin Kuang’s words, the expressions on Bai Longming, Dong Wanchun, and Dong Chongyi changed drastically. All three of them knew the truth of the matter and were shocked that Lin Kuang knew it so clearly.
"What nonsense are you spouting?! Longming is merely the Family Head’s adopted son! Stop talking such rubbish, boy!" Dong Liujian snapped, his face turning ugly.
Since Dong Liujian and Dong Liushi were unaware that Bai Longming was their Family Head’s illegitimate son, they didn’t believe a word Lin Kuang said.
"Adopted son? Tsk, tsk. Fine, an adopted son it is. It has nothing to do with me anyway," Lin Kuang said with a nonchalant shrug.
"Boy, hand over the Nameless Sword, kneel, and kowtow to Longming three times. Do that, and we’ll forgive you. Otherwise, not only will we take your sword, but you will also die," Dong Liushi said calmly, looking at Lin Kuang.
"Tsk, tsk, how amusing. You Dong Family people really go too far. You want my Nameless, and you want to kill me. Tsk, tsk," Lin Kuang said mockingly, his eyes filled with contempt.
Hearing Lin Kuang’s sarcasm, the expressions on Dong Liujian and Dong Liushi shifted, their faces flushing with anger.
"Enough talk, boy! Are you handing it over or not?!" Dong Liujian demanded.
"Of course not! If you have the guts, come and take it. If not, then get the hell out of here!" Lin Kuang suddenly roared.
The next moment, all Eight Gates within Lin Kuang flew open. A terrifying, surging power coursed freely through his body. In an instant, his strength swelled to its absolute limit—the maximum power he could currently wield!
As his power erupted, the Nameless Sword appeared in his hand, its cold glint aimed directly at Dong Liujian and Dong Liushi.
Feeling the power surging from Lin Kuang, the faces of Dong Wanchun, Dong Chongyi, and Bai Longming changed drastically, their eyes filling with shock. This was especially true for Bai Longming. Back in Hangcheng, he hadn’t sensed such terrifying power from Lin Kuang. It was now clear that Lin Kuang’s strength was far more formidable than he had ever imagined!
Dong Liujian and Dong Liushi frowned as they watched Lin Kuang, a hint of shock in their eyes. They weren’t afraid of his strength, but the power he had just unleashed far exceeded their expectations. It was much greater than they had imagined. However, they still weren’t afraid of him. After all, their own power was considerable, and they were confident their chances of victory were high.
"Kid, your strength is impressive indeed," Dong Liushi said indifferently, his eyes laced with disdain. "But in front of us, it’s not nearly enough."
"Young Master Lin, we’ve already contacted headquarters. They’re sending people over," one of the men from Wumi Building said. He and his partner had seen how powerful Dong Liujian and Dong Liushi were and had immediately called for backup, knowing they couldn’t possibly stop them alone.
Lin Kuang nodded, his gaze fixed on Dong Liushi and Dong Liujian. He could sense that these two were very strong, but he believed he still stood a fighting chance—at the very least, he could stall them until backup arrived.
"Hmph, a bunch of fools who don’t know their own limits. Even if your backup arrives, you’re all just ants!" Dong Liujian scoffed.
With that, Dong Liujian struck. A powerful force erupted from him, blasting one of the men from Wumi Building away. The expert had no power to resist. He was sent flying, blood gushing from his mouth as his face turned deathly pale.
Lin Kuang’s expression changed instantly. He used his Extreme Shadow Illusion technique, appearing in a flash beside the downed Wumi Building expert. He felt for the man’s breath, and his face turned incomparably grim.
The man was dead. His internal organs had been completely pulverized—a testament to the viciousness of Dong Liujian’s palm strike.
Staring at Dong Liujian, murderous intent exploded in Lin Kuang’s eyes. "You’re courting death!"
With a flick of his wrist, the Nameless Sword glinted, and Lin Kuang charged at Dong Liujian. At the same time, the other expert from Wumi Building also attacked, thrusting his longsword at Dong Liujian.
However, Dong Liujian didn’t even spare him a glance, simply allowing the blade to strike his body. Then, something shocking happened. The sword struck Dong Liujian’s body as if hitting solid steel, letting out a sharp CLANG.
The next moment, Dong Liujian’s palm blurred, forming a hand-edge that slammed down on the longsword. With a CRACK, his palm snapped the blade in two, completely unharmed.
Lin Kuang’s eyes widened in horror. "Golden Bell Cover, Iron Cloth Shirt... That’s the Thirteen Protectors’ Horizontal Kung Fu! Has this old bastard actually mastered this Hard Qigong?!" he exclaimed in disbelief. Such a technique was notoriously difficult to master.
