Unrivaled Soldier in the City

Chapter 692: Chapter 692: Lin Kuang Takes Action

"Cackle... you’re an ambitious little fellow," the Right Envoy cackled strangely, his voice turning grating as he looked at Pei Yuandong. "For someone so young to possess such strength, with one foot already stepping into the Skyline realm... you’re a true genius. Quite impressive. However, what I, the Right Envoy, enjoy most is stifling geniuses like you! Stifling all of you who fancy yourselves gentlemen!"

Staring at the man, Pei Yourong asked, "The Right Envoy? The Demon Sect’s Right Envoy? To dispatch someone of your status, this mission must be no small matter. This is Heavenly Mountain, right next to the Heavenly Mountain Sect. It looks like you plan to move against them, don’t you?"

Having lived for so many years, Pei Yourong was incredibly shrewd. With just a moment’s thought, he had already figured out what these Demon Sect members intended to do.

"Tsk, tsk, not bad, old fellow. You’re quite clever," the Right Envoy said with a smile, his voice returning to its normal, less grating tone. "Since you’ve already figured it out, I won’t hide it from you. We do indeed plan to make a move against the Heavenly Mountain Sect. But before that, I’m going to kill all of you."

Hearing the Right Envoy’s candid words, Pei Yourong’s expression shifted. He was no fool; on the contrary, he was very astute. Although these eight individuals were powerful, taking down the Heavenly Mountain Sect—one of the great Sects—would be impossible for them alone. For the Right Envoy to speak so openly, it undoubtedly meant they had a more elaborate plan. They must have already stationed many experts around the Heavenly Mountain Sect, and it was not impossible that there were even traitors within the Sect itself.

Realizing this, Pei Yourong took a deep breath. "If you intend to destroy the Heavenly Mountain Sect, then you’ll have to get through us first."

When facing the Demon Sect, everyone in the Ancient Martial Realm believed it their duty to kill them on sight. These people were too cruel; their existence could not be tolerated in the Ancient Martial Realm, let alone the secular world.

"Haha, kill us? Do you really think you’re capable of that? What a delusional dream! Unless that old ancestor from your Pei Family is here, you lot are simply not enough," the Right Envoy stated casually, his tone brimming with arrogance.

"Hmph! You arrogant Demon Sect scum!" Pei Yourong retorted coldly, his voice laced with killing intent. "If our Pei Family’s ancestor were to act, you would have fled long ago! How dare you attack us?!"

"True. If that old man from your Pei Family appeared, our only option would be to flee," the Right Envoy admitted without argument. After all, he was no match for the Pei Family’s ancestor. "But obviously, that old man isn’t here, so you all must die!"

"Hmph! Even without our ancestor, we can still kill you!" Pei Yourong declared as the True Qi within him surged, raising his power to its absolute peak.

"Is that so? It seems you truly underestimate my strength. A mere Skyline warrior thinks he can kill me? You’re seriously overestimating yourself!" the Right Envoy scoffed, his cold tone filled with disdain.

At his words, Pei Yourong’s expression changed, his eyes revealing a grave look. Just then, the Right Envoy’s power began to surge. His strength, which had seemed to be at the Skyline realm, suddenly skyrocketed to the level of Three Flowers Gathering at the Top. The terrifying power that poured forth made Pei Yourong’s face turn ashen. Facing a master of Three Flowers Gathering at the Top, he, a Skyline expert, seemed utterly insignificant. The two of them were not even in the same league; the gap between their realms was immense. Moreover, the Right Envoy’s strength was genuinely at the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top, unlike Chen Fengyuan, who had been a fraud.

"How about that? Scared now?" the Right Envoy sneered, his words dripping with arrogance. "Today, you will all die. Oppose our Demon Sect, and you will surely die!"

"Scared? Even if I die in battle today, I will kill you Demon Sect devils!" Pei Yourong roared, his resolute words broadcasting his determination.

Inside the cave, Lin Kuang listened to their exchange. Upon hearing Pei Yourong’s words, he felt a flicker of admiration. Even though we’re opponents, Pei Yourong is definitely a true man.

"Very well, then I shall grant you your wish! My men, attack! Kill them all!" the Right Envoy commanded, his voice thick with murderous intent.

Immediately, the Right Envoy struck, the long blade in his hand slashing down viciously at Pei Yourong’s head. Seeing this, Pei Yourong dared not meet the blow head-on. Given the vast disparity in their strength, he knew he would never be able to withstand it.

"Everyone, attack! Even if it means dying, take one of them down with you! We absolutely cannot let these evil Demon Sect minions succeed!" Pei Yourong roared angrily as he dodged the attack.

"Yes!" Pei Qingtao, Pei Yuandong, and the other Pei Family members responded in unison, and the two sides clashed.

The others were relatively evenly matched with their opponents. Only Pei Yourong was at a clear disadvantage. With an entire realm separating their strengths, although Pei Yourong was skilled, in the Right Envoy’s eyes, he was far too weak.

Lin Kuang watched the scene intently. Seeing Pei Yourong being beaten back again and again, he couldn’t help but draw his sword, Nameless. At this moment, Lin Kuang knew he had to act. Although the Pei Family was after his sword, he had to put their enmity aside when faced with the Demon Sect. After all, Pei Yourong did just say that when facing the Demon Sect, everyone has a duty to kill them.

With that thought, Lin Kuang took a deep breath, burst out from the cave, and charged directly at the Right Envoy.

In an instant, Lin Kuang’s figure appeared behind the man, the tip of Nameless stabbing toward his heart, intending to kill him with a single blow. However, the Right Envoy’s strength was truly at the level of Three Flowers Gathering at the Top. Despite Lin Kuang’s swift and vicious thrust, it was still not quite enough to assassinate him. The Right Envoy’s body shifted sideways in a flash, instantly dodging the attack.

Lin Kuang wasn’t surprised by this outcome. After all, the opponent’s strength is obvious. It would be truly abnormal if he could be killed by a single strike.

Without pausing, as his feet landed, he pushed off, shooting forward like a bolt of lightning. The Nameless in his hand stabbed viciously toward the Right Envoy’s throat.

Seeing this, Pei Yourong froze, unable to stop himself from crying out, "Lin Kuang?!" He could hardly believe his eyes, stunned that Lin Kuang would appear at such a moment, let alone save him.

"Second Grand-uncle, it was Lin Kuang who warned me just now," Pei Yuandong couldn’t help but say upon seeing Lin Kuang’s arrival.

Hearing this, Pei Yourong’s body trembled slightly, and a look of shame flashed in his eyes.
