Unrivaled Soldier in the City

Chapter 674: Chapter 674: Counter-Kill Begins

"Moran, it’s not impossible. I have a feeling Lin Kuang was behind this," Fan Mohao said, his deep voice tinged with gravity.

"What? Lin Kuang? You’re saying he’s reached the Skyline realm? H-How is that possible? It can’t be, right? Didn’t the intelligence report say he was only at the Postnatal level? He wasn’t even at the Postnatal Peak! How could he suddenly become a Skyline master?" Fan Moran sputtered in disbelief.

This was too shocking for him. After all, according to the intelligence report from just over ten days ago, Lin Kuang’s strength was still weak. How could he have broken through to the Skyline realm in such a short time? It was simply too hard to accept. It was common for an ordinary Ancient Warrior to be stuck at the Postnatal threshold for years, even decades, without a breakthrough. Otherwise, wouldn’t Skyline masters be a dime a dozen? For Lin Kuang to advance from the Postnatal level to the Skyline realm in little more than ten days was unbelievable.

"Moran, I told you, nothing is impossible. Let’s go take a look. If it’s Lin Kuang, all the better. If not, we’ll reassess," Fan Mohao said again.

Hearing this, Fan Moran had no choice but to nod, and the group of eight quickly rushed toward the southeast.

A few minutes later, Fan Mohao frowned. He caught the scent of blood in the air.

"Over there!" he exclaimed, pointing. He dashed forward, arriving under the large tree where Lin Kuang had previously hidden. Zhang Wu and Yang Bin’s bodies lay on the ground beneath it.

"A single, fatal blow. They were both killed instantly, without even a chance to resist. The attacker must be a Skyline master," Fan Mohao said, his gaze grave as he examined the bodies.

At the sight, the others’ faces paled, and everyone grew more vigilant.

"Everyone, be careful. The attacker might not have left. They could be watching us right now. Stay alert," Fan Mohao warned, standing up and scanning his surroundings.

"Big Brother, do you think it was Lin Kuang?" Fan Moran asked with a frown.

"I’m not sure, but I have a strong feeling it was him. We need to be extremely careful," Fan Mohao replied.

Everyone nodded in agreement.

"Let’s spread out and search," Fan Mohao commanded, leading his men to search the area.

Lin Kuang hadn’t actually left. He was hiding in a dense thicket nearby, only fifty meters away from Fan Mohao’s group. As Lin Kuang watched Fan Mohao and Fan Moran lead their men closer, killing intent flared in his heart.

People of the Fan Family, you’re courting death! You wanted to kill me, didn’t you? Fine. Today, I’ll start by hunting a few of you!

Lin Kuang’s eyes remained fixed on Fan Mohao’s group. Just as they came within twenty meters, Lin Kuang made his move. He grabbed a handful of dirt and tossed it to the side. The slight rustle immediately caught the group’s attention.

"Be careful. Let’s go check it out," Fan Mohao ordered, leading his men toward the source of the sound.

A cold smile touched Lin Kuang’s lips as the eight men walked right past his hiding spot.

Idiots.

With that thought, Lin Kuang sprang into action. He coiled his legs and then exploded forward, his body shooting out like a cheetah. He was only a dozen meters from the last man in the Fan Family’s group, a distance he closed in the blink of an eye. He slammed his palm into the man’s back.

SMACK!

The man was sent flying. In that same instant, the force of the blow detonated inside his body, pulverizing his internal organs. He was dead before he hit the ground.

The commotion instantly alerted Fan Mohao and Fan Moran. The brothers spun around, their sharp gazes locking onto Lin Kuang.

"Lin Kuang! It really is you!" Fan Mohao said coldly, his eyes radiating a chilling murderous intent.

"That’s right, it’s me. You people from the Fan Family are truly asking to die," Lin Kuang replied with a cold laugh.

The next moment, he turned and fled without any intention of fighting them. After all, he was facing two Skyline masters and five Postnatal Peak experts. A direct confrontation would be foolish.

"Lin Kuang, where do you think you’re going! You can’t escape!" Fan Mohao bellowed, immediately giving chase.

Fan Moran and the remaining five Fan Family experts quickly followed.

Feeling them in pursuit, Lin Kuang couldn’t help but smirk. This was exactly what he wanted. He could use his speed to lose Fan Mohao and Fan Moran. Once he had shaken those two, he was confident he could take care of the five Postnatal Peak experts.

It’s about time to shake them off!

Thinking that the five trailing experts were now far enough behind, Lin Kuang stopped holding back and unleashed his full speed. In a flash, his speed surged, his astonishing pace faster than a ghost’s.

Seeing this, Fan Mohao’s and Fan Moran’s expressions changed drastically, their murderous gazes filled with disbelief.

"H-How is this possible? How can he be so fast?" Fan Moran stammered, watching Lin Kuang’s back nearly vanish from sight.

"Damn it! The bastard is incredibly fast!" Fan Mohao swore, the killing intent in his eyes intensifying. They never expected Lin Kuang to be this quick. The speed he had shown earlier was comparable to theirs. Who could have known he was hiding this much?

"Big Brother, what should we do? At this rate, we’ll never catch him," Fan Moran said, his face grim.

Fan Mohao nodded. "You’re right. If this is his true speed, catching him is impossible. Let’s head back. Any more chasing is just a waste of time."

"Alright, let’s go," Fan Moran agreed, and the two of them turned back.

Meanwhile, Lin Kuang had already doubled back. Being faster than Fan Mohao and Fan Moran, he naturally intercepted the five experts who were trailing behind. As he watched the five of them still rushing forward, murderous intent flared in his eyes.

"Members of the Fan Family, not a single one of you will leave here alive!"

With those words, the Nameless Sword materialized in Lin Kuang’s hand, and he charged.
