Unrivaled Soldier in the City-Chapter 238 No Room to Spare

The moment he activated Open Door, Lin Kuang's strength surged as he pointed Nameless directly at Guo Tu. In the next instant, his figure vanished like a bolt of lightning.

Guo Tu was stunned. A moment later, a long sword, glinting with cold light, pierced through his skull. He stared wide-eyed at Lin Kuang, a single thought dominating his mind. The King of the Underworld… so strong!

After withdrawing his sword, Lin Kuang didn't pursue the fleeing Qin Yuan. It wasn't that he didn't want to, but there were still three people on the rooftop. He didn't know their intentions, and with Liu Shilin and the Witch here, he was also concerned for their safety.

Retracting Nameless, Lin Kuang's gaze fell upon the rooftop, and he spoke coolly, "The three of you, are you not planning to come down?" 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

At this moment, Fan Bin and Fan Ting were profoundly shaken. The horrifying killing intent bursting from Lin Kuang made them feel as if they had been cast into the Nine Nether. Even from the rooftop, they could feel the bone-chilling cold emanating from him.

They were especially startled by the final sword strike Lin Kuang had unleashed after using Open Door. That strike was too fast. If we were in Guo Tu's place, we probably couldn't have blocked it either. The only outcome would have been death!

Hearing Lin Kuang's words, Fan Bin and Fan Ting instinctively turned their gazes to Fan Sheng. Among the three, Fan Sheng was the strongest and the leader of their mission.

Fan Sheng's expression was also very grave. Although he knew Lin Kuang was strong, he hadn't anticipated he would be this formidable. Taking a deep breath, he forced a smile back onto his lips. "Big Brother, Tingting, since the King of the Underworld has spotted us, let's go say hello," he said.

With that, Fan Sheng stood up and glided down from the rooftop like a great bird, landing gracefully in front of Lin Kuang. Fan Bin and Fan Ting followed closely behind him, their eyes fixed warily on Lin Kuang. If Lin Kuang made a move on Fan Sheng, they would both strike at the first possible moment.

"So it was you," Lin Kuang stated flatly. He had noticed Fan Sheng when the peculiar middle-aged man was selling swords earlier, and he had sensed that the presence on the rooftop was likely his.

"Correct, it is me. Truly worthy of being the King of the Underworld. Your strength is incredible," Fan Sheng said, his face full of admiration. "Even three of the six elders of Dark Blood working together were no match for you. Truly admirable."

"You owe me an explanation. If you three hadn't been here, Qin Yuan wouldn't have escaped," Lin Kuang said, his calm tone filled with an endless coldness, implying he would strike if Fan Sheng failed to provide one.

Hearing this, Fan Sheng smiled slightly. "King of the Underworld, we came to discuss matters with you. Besides, I doubt someone like Qin Yuan is even worth your notice."

"Whether he's worth my notice or not has nothing to do with you. Who are you people?" Lin Kuang asked flatly, his tone somewhat imperious.

"Hmph! What's there to be so arrogant about? So you killed Wan Mu and Guo Tu, what's so great about that?! We are from the Fan Family!" Fan Ting blurted out, unable to restrain her irritation at Lin Kuang's arrogant and domineering demeanor.

At her words, Lin Kuang's eyes narrowed, his gaze fixing on Fan Ting with a cold glint. Fan Ting instinctively swallowed and took a step back; the look in his eyes made her feel the chilling threat of death.

Just then, Fan Sheng shifted slightly, stepping in front of Fan Ting to block Lin Kuang's line of sight. "Please, King of the Underworld, don't mind her. My sister has always been blunt," Fan Sheng said with a hint of apology, meeting Lin Kuang's icy stare.

"Why have people from the Fan Family come looking for me? If it's trouble you're looking for, I wouldn't mind wiping you all out! And if you're here to try and persuade me of something, my answer is no. Furthermore, tell the Fan Family to stay in line. I know your family is powerful, but do not provoke me. Otherwise... I think you're well aware of the consequences!" Lin Kuang said coolly, looking straight at Fan Sheng.

Upon hearing this, Fan Sheng's expression became solemn once more. "Is there absolutely no room for negotiation?" he asked in a low voice.

"None. My affairs do not require meddling from your Fan Family," Lin Kuang reiterated, his eyes locked on Fan Sheng.

Behind Fan Sheng, an incensed Fan Ting opened her mouth to retort, but her brother Fan Bin grabbed her hand and shook his head. Fan Ting just humphed and fell silent, though the glare she shot Lin Kuang was full of resentment.

Hearing Lin Kuang's firm words, Fan Sheng nodded in understanding. "Alright then, I won't say more. Do take care. The next time we meet, I will have to experience the King of the Underworld's famous skills for myself."

"Fine. I also hope you make the right choice. Of course, if you can't make the call, you can report this to your superiors," Lin Kuang replied.

"I understand. Don't worry, I will definitely report it. After all, I'm really not the one who calls the shots," Fan Sheng said with a wry smile. After all, when faced with a threat from the King of the Underworld, no faction would dare take it lightly. His name alone was reason enough.

"I won't see you out. I hope we won't be crossing swords," Lin Kuang said after a final glance at Fan Sheng.

"Of course, I hope for that as well," Fan Sheng said, again with a wry smile. "But sometimes, things don't go according to our wishes, do they?"

Lin Kuang nodded but said nothing more. Based on our short conversation, my impression of Fan Sheng isn't bad. From the sound of it, coming here wasn't his idea. Then again, that makes sense. He was just following orders.

"In that case, we'll take our leave. I hope we don't meet again," Fan Sheng said with a final smile at Lin Kuang, then left with Fan Bin and Fan Ting.

Lin Kuang said nothing, simply watching them depart. The moment they had identified themselves as being from the Fan Family, he knew their purpose. After all, the night he had openly slept with Fan Bingbing had probably become common knowledge. A visit from the Fan Family was to be expected.

The Fan Family... It seems I really need to investigate this clan properly. I know far too little about them, Lin Kuang murmured to himself as he watched the trio's figures disappear into the distance.

At that moment, Liu Shilin and the Witch approached, their faces pale. "Lin Kuang, are you alright?" they asked, their voices filled with concern.

Seeing their worried expressions, Lin Kuang couldn't help but smile. "Of course, I'm fine," he replied. "You two go inside and rest. I'll take care of things out here."
