Unrivaled Soldier in the City

Chapter 680: Chapter 680: Treading Snow Without a Trace

Seeing Lin Kuang about to flee, how could Dong Qilong, Dong Qibao, Fan Mohao, and Fan Moran—the four experts from Skyline—possibly let him go? Faced with such a rare opportunity to finish off Lin Kuang, they naturally went all out.

The next moment, the four of them shot forward like four arrows, racing after Lin Kuang at top speed. However, it was utterly useless. They simply couldn’t catch him. Since no one could catch him, no one could hold him back. And with no one to block his path, escaping was a simple matter. In no time at all, the distance between Lin Kuang and the four men grew ever wider.

Seeing Lin Kuang’s figure shrink into the distance, all four of their faces turned grim.

"Damn it, he’s getting away again!" Fan Mohao roared, his face livid and his eyes filled with murderous intent. He was furious, as Lin Kuang had escaped once before and was now doing it again.

Of course, if the four of them had managed to trap Lin Kuang, his death would have been certain. Since death was certain if surrounded, Lin Kuang, who was no fool, naturally wouldn’t let that happen. Knowing the situation was impossible, he chose to flee.

Dong Qilong and Dong Qibao were also fuming. Letting their prize slip right through their fingers was incredibly frustrating. What made it even more infuriating was that they didn’t have the power to chase him down.

Lin Kuang, however, couldn’t care less whether they were frustrated or not. Being able to get away was good enough for him.

You four just wait. Sooner or later, I’ll finish you off! Lin Kuang thought.

With that thought, Lin Kuang’s speed increased even more. A few minutes later, he had completely shaken off his four pursuers. He then changed directions and broke into a furious sprint, covering several miles in one go before finally stopping.

That should do it. I must have shaken them off by now, Lin Kuang thought, sitting on the trunk of a large tree.

Glancing at the time, he saw it was almost 3:00 a.m. and immediately closed his eyes to rest.

Having chased him for a long time without success, Dong Qilong, Dong Qibao, Fan Mohao, and Fan Moran had no choice but to stop and rest.

"Damn it, that guy is ridiculously fast!" Dong Qibao said, exasperated, his eyes filled with frustration.

"It can’t be helped. His speed is incredible," Fan Mohao spoke up. "If we want to kill him, someone has to tie him down while the rest of us attack together. We can’t give him any chance to escape. Otherwise, if he gets away, we’ll never be able to catch him."

"Right," Dong Qilong said. "Let’s be patient. There’s no rush. Next time we see him, that’s what we’ll do: trap him and then go for the kill."

Hearing this, the other two nodded in agreement. For now, it was their only option.

"Gentlemen, we all share the goal of finishing off Lin Kuang," Dong Qibao interjected, looking at Fan Mohao and Fan Moran. "If you two don’t mind, how about we temporarily join forces? After we deal with Lin Kuang, we can go our separate ways."

After all, these two were experts from Skyline. With their help, killing Lin Kuang would definitely become much easier.

Hearing Dong Qibao’s words, Fan Mohao and Fan Moran exchanged a glance. Fan Mohao then nodded. "Alright, let’s join forces for now. We’ll sort everything else out after we kill Lin Kuang."

In Fan Mohao’s view, Dong Qilong and Dong Qibao were also experts. Uniting with them would be advantageous for both parties, especially since they all shared the same goal of taking down Lin Kuang.

Hearing that Fan Mohao had agreed, Dong Qilong and Dong Qibao felt somewhat relieved. With the four of them working together, they were confident they could kill Lin Kuang, as long as they managed to surround him.

At this time, Xiao Chenfeng was already resting, sleeping soundly against a tree trunk, while Chen Fengyuan was still searching aimlessly for any sign of Lin Kuang. Meanwhile, the members of the Pei Family had also stopped to rest; of all the groups, they were by far the most relaxed.

The night passed uneventfully. The next morning, as sunlight filtered through the dense foliage and into the forest, Lin Kuang opened his eyes from his resting spot against the tree trunk.

Checking the time, he saw it was already past six o’clock. He opened his backpack, took out some food, and ate his fill before jumping down from the tree. He looked around before proceeding toward the mountain peak. After all, he needed to reach the Snow Mountain.

Meanwhile, Dong Qilong, Fan Mohao, and their party of eight also began to stir. They all knew Lin Kuang was after the Snow Lotus King and the Ice Silkworm, which meant he had to be going to the Snow Mountain. Therefore, they also began heading in that direction. Xiao Chenfeng and the people from the Pei Family also began making their way leisurely toward the Snow Mountain.

Chen Fengyuan, however, had already reached Snow God. He stood at the highest peak of the Snow Mountain, watching intently. He was confident he would see Lin Kuang the moment he arrived.

The mountain was tall, but for Lin Kuang, it was child’s play and no challenge at all. In less than an hour, he had arrived at the Snow Mountain. This was only because he wasn’t rushing; otherwise, it wouldn’t have taken him anywhere near that long.

Upon reaching the Snow Mountain, he found a bare expanse of white. Besides the endless snow, there were no signs of life. The howling wind swept past, kicking up flurries of snowflakes that dusted Lin Kuang, bringing a chill with them. Of course, with his strength, this temperature was nothing to him.

"So this is the Snow Mountain at Heavenly Mountain Peak? It really is spectacular," Lin Kuang said, squinting at the vast white landscape around him.

Snow Lotus King, you have to let me find you, he muttered to himself, then began running across the snowscape.

Lin Kuang seemed almost weightless, leaving no footprints as he ran across the snow. This was Treading Snow Without a Trace! With his high-speed Step Technique, Extreme Shadow Illusion, Lin Kuang was fully capable of achieving the Realm of Treading Snow Without a Trace.

His target was the Snow Face Cliff, as Snow Lotuses were known to grow in the narrow crevices of cliffs or on sheer, ice-covered rock faces. Running swiftly across the Snow Mountain, Lin Kuang cut a solitary, yet indomitable figure.

At that very moment, Chen Fengyuan, standing at the highest point of the Snow Mountain, spotted him. He saw Lin Kuang dashing across the snow!

You brat, you’re finally here. It seems I didn’t wait all night for nothing. Today, I won’t let you escape, even if it means getting severely injured! Chen Fengyuan watched Lin Kuang quietly, his mind already made up.

With that thought, Chen Fengyuan sped down the mountain, rushing toward Lin Kuang. His speed was incredible, even slightly faster than Lin Kuang’s. If one looked closely, they would see a wooden board under his feet. It acted like a snowboard, which was why Chen Fengyuan could move so quickly.
