Unrivaled Soldier in the City

Chapter 677: Chapter 677 I’m Here

In an instant, the two charged at each other. Lin Kuang cleaved down with Nameless, his powerful sword erupting with terrifying force as it slashed straight for Fan Mohao’s head.

At that moment, Fan Mohao did not evade. His dagger also descended with full force, aiming to take Lin Kuang’s head. Neither of them dodged. It was a pure do-or-die exchange.

Lin Kuang’s gaze never touched the dagger in Fan Mohao’s hands, focusing solely on his opponent’s pupils. Fan Mohao did the same, his eyes locked on Lin Kuang’s while their weapons drew ever closer to each other’s heads.

Watching this, Fan Moran’s eyes filled with concern. He worried his older brother would be killed, having personally experienced Lin Kuang’s strength. However, he also knew that his brother wouldn’t dare make such a move without absolute confidence. With that thought, he kept his gaze intently fixed on the two combatants.

At that moment, Nameless was only an inch from Fan Mohao’s head, and Fan Mohao’s dagger was just an inch from Lin Kuang’s. Their eyes were locked. In that instant, both of them moved.

WHOOSH!

Both men sidestepped, evading each other’s attacks at the exact same moment. The instant they dodged, their weapons lashed out again, stabbing fiercely at each other.

CLANG!

The two weapons met with a piercing ring, and a terrifying force erupted from the impact.

BOOM!

The power of their attacks was so horrifying that the surrounding trees instantly collapsed, turning to dust.

Lin Kuang stared intently at Fan Mohao with a grave expression, while Fan Mohao’s look was even more solemn. Lin Kuang had only just reached the Skyline realm, while he himself was a Peak Skyline expert. Yet, Lin Kuang’s strength was on par with his. How could he not be alarmed?

"Kill!" Fan Mohao bellowed. He spun his body, deftly evading Nameless while stabbing viciously toward Lin Kuang’s heart.

Seeing this, Lin Kuang flicked Nameless, chopping down on Fan Mohao’s dagger.

CLANG!

The grating sound of metal on metal rang out again. Both combatants were thrown back, neither having gained an advantage. The two watched each other with stern expressions, preparing for their next attacks.

"Brother, I’ll help you!" Fan Moran called out.

His injuries had mostly healed. The bleeding had stopped, and although his shoulder still ached, it was a minor injury that didn’t diminish his combat strength.

Fan Moran chose to intervene because he knew that if this continued, his brother would be severely wounded even if he won. Rather than let that happen, he chose to join the fray. Together, the two brothers would have a much easier time killing Lin Kuang.

Fan Mohao didn’t stop him. The brief exchange had shown him the extent of Lin Kuang’s strength. He knew killing Lin Kuang alone would come at a great price. If that was the case, then the two brothers might as well attack together.

A cold smile touched Lin Kuang’s lips as he saw both Fan Mohao and Fan Moran prepare to attack. Knowing he couldn’t beat them both, he had no intention of fighting. Besides, there would be other opportunities. He wasn’t foolish enough to risk his life against the two brothers.

"Tsk, tsk... ganging up on me, are we? How interesting. In that case, I won’t play with you any longer. We’ll meet again when we have the chance."

As he spoke, Lin Kuang smiled faintly and activated his Extreme Shadow Illusion, his body shooting away with incredible speed.

Seeing this, Fan Mohao and Fan Moran were stunned. They had not expected Lin Kuang to actually flee, which outraged them immensely.

"Damn it! If you have the guts, don’t run!" Fan Moran shouted angrily as both brothers gave chase.

"If you had come at me one by one, I would have cut you both down!" Lin Kuang called back with a derisive laugh.

"We’re evenly matched! On what grounds could you cut me down? Are you just boasting?" Fan Mohao sneered.

"Why would I need to boast? Dare to face me one-on-one, and I guarantee I’ll cut you down!" Lin Kuang declared domineeringly.

"Fine! Let’s fight now!" Fan Mohao retorted, angered.

"Not right now. Maybe next time. I’m a little tired today," Lin Kuang said dismissively. His speed then increased, and it became clear that Fan Mohao and Fan Moran couldn’t keep up.

"Damn it! He’s getting away again!" Fan Moran roared in frustration as he watched Lin Kuang’s figure recede into the distance.

"Keep chasing! I refuse to believe we can’t find him!" Fan Mohao ordered, his voice laced with undeniable killing intent.

Fan Moran nodded, and the two brothers continued their pursuit in the direction Lin Kuang had fled.

Lin Kuang wasn’t worried about the Fan brothers’ pursuit. Given their speed, it was simply impossible for them to catch him.

I should find a place to rest first. I still have to climb Snow Mountain tomorrow. Lin Kuang thought to himself.

Just then, his expression shifted. He sensed a group of people moving nearby and immediately ducked into the thick underbrush, concealing himself. Just as he hid, a dozen or so figures appeared. They were led by two middle-aged men, both of whom were, surprisingly, Peak Skyline experts.

"Second Master, Third Master, we didn’t find any trace of Lin Kuang," one of the men reported.

Listening to their subordinate’s report, Dong Qilong and Dong Qibao exchanged glances, a touch of helplessness in their eyes. The Family Head had ordered them to kill Lin Kuang and seize his Nameless Sword, but how were they supposed to find one person in the vast Heavenly Mountain? They could only search slowly, bit by bit.

"Forget it. Let’s rest. We’ll continue the search tomorrow," Dong Qilong said.

"Yes, Second Master," the subordinates replied respectfully.

Yet at that moment, the expressions on Dong Qilong’s and Dong Qibao’s faces changed as they both stared forward.

"Who’s there? Show yourself!" Dong Qilong roared, unleashing his powerful aura.

Hearing Dong Qilong’s shout, the expressions on Fan Mohao and Fan Moran changed. They had been following Lin Kuang’s trail and hadn’t expected to run into Dong Qilong’s group here. They prepared to step out from their cover.

At this, Lin Kuang couldn’t help but smile. He didn’t know who Dong Qilong was, but it was clear they were hunting him with the intent to kill. In that case, why not let these newcomers deal with my pursuers?

With this thought, Lin Kuang dashed out. "Brother Fan, I’m over here!"
