Unrivaled Soldier in the City-Chapter 249: The Winds Rise and the Clouds Swell

Lin Kuang sat quietly cross-legged on the sofa. The recent exertion had been quite substantial for him. Activating the Open Door, Rest Gate, and Life Gate in succession was no small strain, especially when he blocked Feng Chun's self-destruction. That single moment had consumed the most True Qi.

On the opposite sofa, Fan Ting lay listlessly, staring wide-eyed at Lin Kuang, her heart filled with indignation. At the same time, she was filled with regret. She regretted not listening to her eldest and second brothers; if she hadn't come, she naturally wouldn't have been captured. Yet, she also felt fortunate that she had come. If she hadn't, how else could she have witnessed Lin Kuang's incredible power?

Thus, Fan Ting's feelings were quite complicated.

I hope my eldest and second brothers will rescue me tomorrow. It's so unpleasant staying here, Fan Ting muttered to herself.

Lin Kuang paid her no mind and focused on his cultivation.

While things were quiet on Lin Kuang's end, the Assassin World was in an uproar. Because Feng Chun was dead, his ten-billion bounty quickly sent shockwaves through the community. In no time, the entire Assassin World was shaken as if by an earthquake.

That was ten billion! It was real money, not just paper. With ten billion, one could live in luxury not just for this lifetime, but for the next one and the one after that.

However, no one was a fool, especially not the people of the Assassin World. Feng Chun had already made it clear when he issued the bounty that if it went public, it would prove that the Six Elders of Dark Blood had been slain by the King of the Underworld. The reason Feng Chun did this was to attract even more powerful assassins to take on Lin Kuang.

After all, Lin Kuang's reputation was immense at this point. Killing him would bring tremendous honor, not to mention a huge sum of money. However, even powerhouses like the Six Elders of Dark Blood had been no match for Lin Kuang. Anyone else considering an attempt had to seriously weigh their own strength, and those looking for an easy score had to think twice.

After all, the Six Elders of Dark Blood were veterans of the Assassin World, once prominent and exceptionally strong. Moreover, Dark Blood's strongest assassin, Gu Yue, had also been killed by Lin Kuang, which was more than enough to prove his power.

Although many were now aware of Lin Kuang's strength, the old saying held true: "Humans die for wealth, and birds die for food."

For money, some people were willing to risk everything, and such people were by no means a minority. Even knowing how powerful Lin Kuang was, they would still gamble with their lives for the prize. Such was the allure of money, and very few could resist its temptation. Not everyone could remain calm when faced with such a massive fortune.

So, some began to make their preparations, while the truly powerful assassins held back. They were well aware of Lin Kuang's strength. He was the King of the Underworld, after all, and if the Six Elders of Dark Blood were no match for him, ordinary assassins stood no chance. So these powerful assassins decided to wait and see. Having others scout ahead and wear down Lin Kuang's strength was a favorable development for them.

For a time, the Assassin World was in turmoil. Numerous assassins flocked to East Sea, all wanting Lin Kuang dead. Outside of the Assassin World, however, no one knew a thing.

「The night passed uneventfully.」

The next morning, Lin Kuang opened his eyes early. His strength had recovered to about seventy or eighty percent. While not yet at his peak, he was close.

Glancing at Fan Ting, he couldn't help but feel a bit speechless. He didn't know if the girl was fearless or just clueless, but she was sound asleep.

After a moment's thought, Lin Kuang decided not to bother her. He went into the bathroom to freshen up, changed into a new tracksuit, and then headed for the Yang Family's residence.

When he arrived at the Yang Family's home, a smiling Little Xinxin ran over to greet him. Lin Kuang picked her up and played with her, making the delighted little girl giggle happily.

Nearby, Yang Ruoxi was cracking her knuckles, looking ready for a fight at any moment.

Seeing her demeanor, Lin Kuang chuckled to himself. This girl is really getting addicted to this.

After chatting with Xinxin for a bit, Lin Kuang began to spar with Yang Ruoxi. Half an hour later, Yang Ruoxi walked into the living room with her head hung low. Clearly, she had been thoroughly beaten by Lin Kuang again.

"Ruoxi, don't tell me you're getting discouraged by such a small setback?" Lin Kuang asked with a laugh, seeing her downcast expression.

"Hmph! Of course not! It's just a temporary loss. What's the big deal? Sooner or later, I'll defeat you!" Yang Ruoxi said fiercely, clenching her small fists.

"Oh, really? Well, I'm looking forward to you defeating me. Otherwise, I'll be very disappointed," Lin Kuang said with a smile.

"Hmph, you can count on it! Just you wait until I beat you!" Yang Ruoxi snapped.

Hearing this, Lin Kuang shrugged and gestured for Yang Ruoxi to go upstairs so he could transfer True Qi to her. Another half an hour passed before the two of them came back downstairs.

Lin Kuang ended up having breakfast there before he finally left. He hadn't actually wanted to eat there, but with Yang Ruotong blinking her big eyes at him, he found he had no reason to refuse.

When Lin Kuang returned to Liu Shilin's villa, it was already past seven in the morning. To his surprise, a Hummer was parked outside the main gate, suggesting visitors had arrived. Thinking it over, Lin Kuang seemed to understand something. A faint smile touched his lips as he stepped into the main hall.

Sure enough, just as he'd thought, Fan Sheng and Fan Bin were sitting on the sofa inside, apparently waiting for him. Meanwhile, Liu Shilin, Lin Guo'er, and the little Witch sat quietly to one side, observing. As for Fan Ting, she was still lying on the other sofa just as before, completely powerless to move.

When Fan Sheng and Fan Bin had rushed over earlier, Lin Kuang wasn't there. Fan Ting had asked Fan Sheng to release the Restriction Spell on her, but he was powerless to do so. In the end, they could only wait obediently for Lin Kuang's return.

Seeing Lin Kuang return, Fan Sheng quickly stood up with a smile. "Mr. Lin, you're finally back."

"What, getting anxious?" Lin Kuang asked with a chuckle, looking at Fan Sheng's smiling face.

"Not really, I was just a bit worried about my little sister," Fan Sheng replied with a smile. He didn't speak to Lin Kuang with a cold tone, despite his sister being incapacitated.

As for Fan Bin, he sat there with a calm expression, not saying a word. Fan Sheng was more than capable of handling this kind of situation.

"Don't worry. If I had wanted to kill her, I would have done so already," Lin Kuang said nonchalantly as he looked at Fan Sheng. "Since I didn't, I wouldn't stoop to playing any tricks on her."

As he spoke, he walked over to Fan Ting and tapped a series of points on her body with his fingers. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

Instantly, Fan Ting felt strength flood back into her body. She could once again freely control the True Qi within her, and she let out a sigh of relief.
