Unrivaled Soldier in the City

Chapter 688: Chapter 688: Join Forces to Kill the Enemy

Lin Kuang chose not to confront Chen Fengyuan head-on. At that moment, Chen Fengyuan was simply too powerful, and Lin Kuang had no confidence he could win. It wasn’t a matter of being afraid; it was a matter of knowing he would undoubtedly lose. Why charge headfirst into a guaranteed defeat? That would be beyond foolish.

Lin Kuang used his terrifying speed and his ability to continuously absorb the Force of Nature to maneuver and play for time against Chen Fengyuan. As long as he could hold out, Lin Kuang believed he could eventually defeat him.

However, Lin Kuang had oversimplified the situation. No, it wasn’t that he’d oversimplified, but rather that he had never fought an expert of the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top Realm. As a result, he had no real concept of how powerful a master at this level truly was. Although Lin Kuang was already being extremely cautious, he was still at a disadvantage from the very start.

At this moment, Chen Fengyuan’s speed had reached the very limit of what was humanly possible. It was a speed no ordinary person could possess. Lin Kuang was already exceptionally fast, yet Chen Fengyuan completely crushed him in terms of speed. Yes, crushed. Against Chen Fengyuan’s speed, Lin Kuang’s own could offer no advantage whatsoever—not even the slightest edge. The gap between them was simply too vast.

So this is a master of the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top Realm? How can he be this fast? This guy’s speed is unreal. My own is completely useless against him. Lin Kuang thought grimly, staring at the man before him.

"Kid, you’re good at running, aren’t you?" Chen Fengyuan sneered, his voice dripping with mockery and disdain. "Haha! Go on, keep running! I’d love to see just how fast you really are!" He treated Lin Kuang like an eagle toying with a chick, completely disregarding him as a threat.

Hearing Chen Fengyuan’s taunts, Lin Kuang didn’t get angry. He simply focused on controlling his footwork, doing his best to maneuver and buy time.

"Kid, you’re a stubborn one, aren’t you? You won’t give up until you’re staring death in the face," Chen Fengyuan sneered. "Your speed advantage is gone. You’re no match for me now."

Lin Kuang completely ignored him, which only infuriated Chen Fengyuan further.

"Kid, time’s up. I’ll send you on your way!" Chen Fengyuan declared. The next moment, his palm blurred into motion, striking toward Lin Kuang’s chest.

Lin Kuang dodged with extreme speed, but even so, the palm strike barely missed him. Feeling the terrifying power behind that palm strike, Lin Kuang’s expression grew even more grave. The force was immense; if it had landed, he would have been killed instantly.

"You may have dodged the first palm, kid," Chen Fengyuan snarled, his palms blurring as he attacked again, "but I refuse to believe you can dodge the third and the fourth!"

Lin Kuang’s expression grew grim. This can’t go on. If I just keep dodging, it’s only a matter of time before I get hit. Evasion isn’t a long-term solution. The best defense is a good offense.

With this realization, Lin Kuang steeled himself. His speed was suppressed; his only choice was to go all-out. Without another thought, Lin Kuang drew the Nameless Sword from his waist and slashed viciously at Chen Fengyuan’s wrist.

Just then, the Soft Sword appeared in Chen Fengyuan’s hand, quickly blocking the attack.

"Did you think you were the only one with a sword, kid?" Chen Fengyuan sneered. "I have one too!"

In response, Lin Kuang remained silent. His footwork shifted from the Extreme Shadow Illusion to the Bagua Steps, and his swordsmanship became the Chaotic Tai Chi Sword. This was him fighting at his absolute peak. If this wasn’t enough to be his opponent’s match, then he was truly out of options.

Even Chen Fengyuan felt a stir of desire when faced with Lin Kuang’s Chaotic Tai Chi Sword. The swordsmanship was truly formidable, something he himself coveted.

However, he knew perfectly well that Lin Kuang would never give him this swordsmanship. In that case, I’ll just have to kill him!

With this thought, Chen Fengyuan’s own swordsmanship grew even more vicious and ruthless, each strike backed by incredible power. After all, he was a master of the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top. Against such an expert, it didn’t matter how formidable Lin Kuang’s strength was or how exquisite his techniques were. Chen Fengyuan was a perfect example of brute force overcoming skill, leaving Lin Kuang with no answer.

"You’re no match for me, kid. Now, die!" Chen Fengyuan let out a cold shout as his Soft Sword suddenly slashed down.

Seeing this, Lin Kuang’s expression changed. He hurriedly raised the Nameless Sword above his head, managing to block the terrifying strike.

CLANG.

The ear-piercing sound of clashing metal rang out. Lin Kuang’s face flushed crimson, and the force of the blow drove him deep into the snow.

"Feels good, doesn’t it, kid? The next strike will be your last!" Chen Fengyuan shouted again, his Soft Sword sweeping horizontally in a vicious slash aimed at Lin Kuang’s waist.

There was no time to dodge. Left with no other choice, Lin Kuang could only block the attack with his Nameless Sword.

CLANG.

The ear-piercing sound rang out again. This time, Lin Kuang was sent flying, tumbling through the snow until his entire body was coated in white.

"I told you, kid, you’re going to die today!" Chen Fengyuan scoffed, chasing after Lin Kuang. His Soft Sword rained down slashes, as if he was desperate to kill Lin Kuang in a single blow.

Lin Kuang rolled across the ground, barely managing to parry Chen Fengyuan’s attacks with his Nameless Sword.

So strong... Is this the kind of power a master of the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top can unleash? It’s terrifying. This level of strength can completely overwhelm me! Lin Kuang thought in horror.

Just as he was thinking this, Xiao Chenfeng suddenly lunged out from the side. His dagger swung directly, targeting Chen Fengyuan’s lower back with a lethal strike.

Sensing the lethal rush of air behind him, Chen Fengyuan knew something was wrong. He immediately ignored Lin Kuang and spun around. Seeing that the attacker was Xiao Chenfeng, a surge of anger rose in his heart. If Xiao Chenfeng hadn’t tossed Lin Kuang that wooden plank earlier, Lin Kuang would already be dead. Because of this, Chen Fengyuan was furious with him.

"You damned Assassin!" Chen Fengyuan sneered, his Soft Sword sweeping horizontally toward Xiao Chenfeng’s head. "You actually dare to show your face? Excellent. Today, I’ll send you both on your way!"

Xiao Chenfeng was a master, after all. Seeing the sword arc toward him, he spun rapidly, letting the terrifying strike pass him by.

At that very moment, Lin Kuang, still on the ground, made his move. His Nameless Sword quivered slightly as he thrust it toward Chen Fengyuan’s throat.

"Useless! It’s useless!" Chen Fengyuan declared with utter arrogance. "The two of you are trash—you’re no match for me!"
