Unrivaled Soldier in the City

Chapter 671: Chapter 671: Temporary Alliance

Lin Kuang frowned at the sight of Chen Fengyuan. He didn’t recognize the man. Due to Xiao Chenfeng’s presence, he had kept his Perception withdrawn to avoid detection and simply continued to watch in silence.

At that moment, Chen Fengyuan’s gaze fell upon the forest, landing precisely on the spot where Xiao Chenfeng was hiding.

"Come out," Chen Fengyuan said indifferently.

Xiao Chenfeng was slightly stunned. I’ve been discovered? So quickly? Since there was no point in hiding any longer, he decided it was better to reveal himself and stood up.

As Xiao Chenfeng came into view, he released his Perception to gauge Chen Fengyuan’s strength. When he sensed it, his expression changed slightly, a trace of shock appearing in his eyes.

A master at the peak of the Skyline Realm, but why do I get such a strange feeling from him? It seems he’s more than just a simple Peak Skyline master. Xiao Chenfeng frowned at the thought.

Chen Fengyuan’s eyes narrowed as he looked at Xiao Chenfeng, shocked that someone so young could possess such abilities. "A master of the Skyline Realm? Who are you, and why are you lying in ambush here?"

"I am an assassin, here to kill the King of the Underworld," Xiao Chenfeng stated flatly.

"Oh? The King of the Underworld? You mean that person named Lin Kuang?" Chen Fengyuan asked indifferently.

"Yes, it is Lin Kuang. And who are you?" Xiao Chenfeng asked warily.

"Me?" Chen Fengyuan replied. "I’m also here to kill Lin Kuang. Aren’t you? That’s perfect. We can cooperate. I only want his sword; the rest is yours."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Chenfeng’s mind raced. He asked again, "Who are you? Why do you want to kill him? And why should I trust you?"

"Because I am Chen Fengyuan of the Tai Chi Chen Family. Lin Kuang has killed many of my descendants, so I must naturally avenge them," Chen Fengyuan disclosed without hiding anything.

"I see. In that case, I will cooperate with you," Xiao Chenfeng nodded. With a faint smile, his gaze suddenly shifted to the spot where Lin Kuang was hiding.

Seeing this, Lin Kuang’s heart sank. This is bad!

Sure enough, Xiao Chenfeng spoke up. "Lin Kuang is right here! Let’s join forces and kill him!" With that, he lunged toward Lin Kuang’s position.

Damn it! Lin Kuang cursed inwardly as his figure shot out, immediately turning to flee. At the same time, his powerful Perception surged forth, and he instantly registered Chen Fengyuan’s strength. Lin Kuang’s expression changed again.

His opponent was stronger than him, and with Xiao Chenfeng added to the mix, Lin Kuang was no match. If he got entangled with them, he would almost certainly die here. Realizing this, Lin Kuang no longer held back, unleashing his Extreme Shadow Illusion. In an instant, his power was pushed to its limit, and his speed increased dramatically.

At that moment, Chen Fengyuan also spotted him. The instant he saw Lin Kuang’s figure, he confirmed his identity. After all, he had committed Lin Kuang’s face to memory; how could he possibly forget it now?

Lin Kuang, oh, Lin Kuang. To think I’d find you without even trying after searching so hard. I just arrived at Heavenly Mountain and ran right into you. What luck! You won’t be getting away today! Chen Fengyuan sneered inwardly, his eyes brimming with murderous intent.

However, when he saw Lin Kuang’s speed, his expression shifted. How is this kid so fast?

The next moment, Chen Fengyuan sensed Lin Kuang’s power. When he realized that Lin Kuang had also reached the Skyline Realm, his face turned incredibly ugly. Damn it! He’s a master of the Skyline Realm too! Damn it! How could he possibly be a master of the Skyline Realm? How is this possible?! Chen Fengyuan roared inwardly. He found it impossible to accept that the Lin Kuang of the past, who lacked such power, had now become so formidable.

Fortunately, he had come himself. Had any other member of the Chen Family come instead, they would have been no match for Lin Kuang. After all, this was a master of the Skyline Realm. For someone to reach this level at such a young age meant his potential was absolutely boundless.

No, I must kill him. Someone who becomes a master of the Skyline Realm this young absolutely cannot be allowed to live. What’s more, the Chen Family already has a feud with him. If he were to ever attack the Chen Family, it would be an absolute disaster! With this thought, Chen Fengyuan’s determination solidified. He had to eliminate Lin Kuang.

Xiao Chenfeng was also quite surprised. Lin Kuang’s speed when dealing with the four Han Family brothers had already been impressive, but now it was much, much faster.

This guy is unbelievably fast. If he’s determined to escape, I can’t catch him. I can only rely on this Chen Fengyuan. Hopefully, he can keep up with Lin Kuang. Xiao Chenfeng’s eyes flickered as he made up his mind.

At this point, Chen Fengyuan couldn’t be bothered with what Xiao Chenfeng was thinking. He focused all his energy on chasing Lin Kuang, though he remained wary of the young assassin. Even though he didn’t think Xiao Chenfeng and Lin Kuang were allies, some caution was still required.

Chen Fengyuan was very fast, a fair bit faster than Xiao Chenfeng. However, compared to Lin Kuang, they were more or less evenly matched. It was highly questionable if Chen Fengyuan could catch up to Lin Kuang, and it certainly wouldn’t be easy. Seeing this, he couldn’t help but frown. If this continued, Lin Kuang would easily escape.

Damn it! If it weren’t for those injuries back then, my strength would have already reached the Five Energies Towards The Origin Realm, and I might have even touched the Ninth Layer Ascent! But now, I’m stuck as a master at the peak of the Skyline Realm, unable to advance for the rest of my life. It’s so infuriating! Watching Lin Kuang’s retreating back, Chen Fengyuan cursed his fate.

The battle back then had been extremely fierce. At the time, Chen Fengyuan was in his middle ages and already a powerful master in the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top Realm. He had nearly died in that fight. He was lucky to survive, but his strength was permanently capped at the peak of the Skyline Realm, unable to ever break through. It was a bitter irony.

Sensing that Chen Fengyuan wasn’t gaining on him, Lin Kuang breathed a small sigh of relief. As long as this old man can’t catch me, my Yin Yang Physique will continuously absorb the Force of Nature. It’s only a matter of time before I shake him off! Thinking this, his tense mood eased slightly.
