Unrivaled Soldier in the City-Chapter 256: Sword Kills the Twin Evils

Lin Kuang's gaze was calm as he watched them. The Nameless sword at his waist slowly slid from its sheath, its blade flashing with a cold light like ice and carrying a chilling aura. It seemed as if the very air within the estate had dropped several degrees with its unsheathing.

Seeing the sword in Lin Kuang's hand, the expressions of the Two Fiends grew grim. That blade was incredibly dangerous. The two exchanged a glance, each seeing the gravity in the other's eyes, but they had to make their move.

With that thought, their figures dashed forward. A pair of gleaming daggers shot toward Lin Kuang's heart from the front and back. From the very first moment, they launched a merciless attack aimed to kill in a single blow—the methods of assassins.

Lin Kuang watched the scene serenely. He practiced the National Arts technique, the Eight Gates Escape Technique. With each of the Eight Gates he opened, his strength would double. He already had the Open Door, the Rest Gate, and the Life Gate under his control. This meant Lin Kuang had cultivated the Eight Gates Escape Technique to the third gate, the Life Gate. As for The Fourth Gate, the Injury Gate, he had not yet completely mastered it.

However, to deal with the Two Fiends, the Rest Gate was more than enough.

With that in mind, Lin Kuang opened the Open Door, and in the next moment, the Rest Gate opened as well.

A terrifying power suddenly burst forth from his body. Feeling this horrific power, the expressions of the Two Fiends changed drastically.

Fan Long, Fan Sheng, and Fan Bin's faces also fell, for the strength Lin Kuang displayed was far greater than they had anticipated. Although Fan Sheng and Fan Bin had been told of Lin Kuang's power by Fan Ting, witnessing it firsthand was still an immense shock. Fan Ting, however, remained expressionless because she knew this was not the full extent of Lin Kuang's power. She remained silent. Why? Even she didn't know. Perhaps she wanted Lin Kuang to eliminate Fan Long, whom she despised?

Lin Kuang paid no mind to the others' expressions, his gaze fixed solely on the Two Fiends.

He suddenly lunged with his sword, sweeping Nameless horizontally at the Fiend in front of him. Simultaneously, his right foot lifted abruptly and snapped a kick out behind him.

In an instant, the elder of the Two Fiends retreated at high speed, barely dodging the terrifying sword strike. Meanwhile, the younger Fiend dodged with lightning speed, relatively at ease as he avoided the kick and aimed his dagger at the back of Lin Kuang's neck.

With Nameless mid-sweep and his right foot suspended in the air, Lin Kuang was balanced only on his left foot. He appeared to be in grave danger.

However, his left foot suddenly erupted with force. His body spun at high speed, turning his suspended right leg into the most ferocious of whip kicks, which lashed out savagely at the younger Fiend's ribs. Faced with this furious attack, the younger Fiend's expression changed dramatically. He leaped into the air, soaring just high enough to dodge the kick.

At the same time, the elder Fiend stabbed viciously with his dagger toward Lin Kuang's temple. Simultaneously, the younger Fiend, now upside down in mid-air, thrust his dagger straight at Lin Kuang's Heavenly Spirit Cover. Their assault was brutal and cunning, their coordination perfectly in sync, as if they shared a single mind.

Seeing this, confidence flashed in Fan Long's eyes. The Two Fiends were renowned experts in the Fan Family; otherwise, the Family Head would never have sent them. Now that they were displaying such formidable strength, Fan Long was naturally very pleased.

Facing their vicious assault, Lin Kuang's expression remained as calm as ever, seemingly unfazed by the danger.

And then, he made his move. With a flick of his wrist, the flexible blade of Nameless bent, blocking the younger Fiend's overhead dagger while the tip deflected the elder's.

CLANG! CLANG!

Their attack was instantly foiled.

Immediately after, the hand gripping the sword tensed, and True Qi surged from his body into Nameless. A powerful True Qi burst forth from the blade, which snapped straight and shot directly upward toward the younger Fiend's Niwan Palace. At the same time, Lin Kuang's left hand shot out to grab the elder Fiend's wrist.

Seeing this, the younger Fiend's expression changed dramatically. He used his dagger to block the tip of Nameless, using the force of the impact to leap backward and narrowly avoid Lin Kuang's attack.

Meanwhile, the elder Fiend twisted his wrist, stabbing his dagger straight toward Lin Kuang's own wrist in an attempt to impale it. Seeing this, a hint of mockery flashed in Lin Kuang's eyes. His real target had been the elder Fiend all along; the attack on the younger was merely a feint.

Lin Kuang's left hand swiftly moved away as Nameless, in his right, swirled and slashed directly at the elder Fiend's neck. The man's pupils shrank as he tried to retreat and dodge the attack. However, how could an attack Lin Kuang had been building up to be so easily avoided?

Pushing off with his feet, Lin Kuang moved with incredible speed. His figure appeared instantly in front of the elder Fiend, fast as lightning, leaving the man no chance to evade. The moment he appeared, Lin Kuang thrust his left palm out again, aiming a strike at his opponent's chest.

At this critical moment, the elder Fiend whipped his dagger around, stabbing fiercely toward Lin Kuang's palm, aiming to cripple his left hand.

However, Lin Kuang was not so easily disabled. His advancing left hand suddenly accelerated in mid-air, and in a flash, it closed around his opponent's wrist. The elder Fiend hadn't anticipated this at all; Lin Kuang's sudden burst of speed was too fast for him to even react. The moment Lin Kuang grabbed his wrist, he felt a sinking premonition.

Just as he was about to make a move, Lin Kuang's left hand exerted a sudden force. With a twist of his waist, he flung the man directly behind him.

At that moment, the younger Fiend was hot on Lin Kuang's heels. Seeing his elder brother hurtling toward him, he instinctively stretched out his hands to catch him.

And it was then, at the very instant their bodies collided, that Lin Kuang struck like lightning.

He moved so fast his figure blurred. Simultaneously, the elder Fiend seemed to sense something. His expression changed drastically, and he bellowed, "Younger brother, run! It's dangerous!"

Hearing his brother's shout, the younger Fiend froze. Before he could react, Lin Kuang's words echoed in their ears.

"Too late," an icy voice resonated right beside them. "Today, you both die."

Their faces changed once more. Just as they were about to move, the reflection of Nameless suddenly filled their pupils.

The next moment, the cold blade pierced the elder Fiend's throat, then swiftly pierced the younger's.

One sword to slay both Fiends.
