Unrivaled Soldier in the City-Chapter 344 Ninja Assassin

Gently, Lin Kuang pushed open the door and looked outside. When he saw the scene before him, his expression changed dramatically. The murderous intent in his eyes intensified as he surged forward with alarming speed.

At the entrance to the interrogation room, two guards had been killed. A figure clad in black, their face obscured, had just opened the door to the room. At that same moment, Lin Kuang burst out.

The black-clad figure, whose gender was indiscernible, saw Lin Kuang appear. The figure froze for an instant, seemingly out of shock, but then charged directly into the interrogation room, completely ignoring Lin Kuang. Seeing this, Lin Kuang accelerated, knowing full well that things would become complicated if this assassin managed to kill Yamamoto Buryo.

Reaching the doorway, Lin Kuang's power surged as he activated the Open Door and Rest Gate meridians. He slammed his body forcefully against the interrogation room door.

BOOM!

With a loud crash, the door was sent flying off its hinges, and Lin Kuang appeared inside the room. The moment he entered, the black-clad figure realized the urgency of the situation. With a flick of his wrist, two shuriken shot toward the throats of both Yamamoto Buryo and Cui Hongyu.

Seeing this, Lin Kuang's expression flickered. In the next instant, he swung his hand out.

CLANG! CLANG!

Two sharp sounds rang out as the shuriken were struck from the air by Nameless, the weapon at Lin Kuang's waist. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Seeing his killing blow fail, the intruder, now clearly a Ninja, turned his head, his gaze landing on Lin Kuang. The next moment, five or six more shuriken flew toward Lin Kuang, targeting all of his vital spots.

Lin Kuang sneered, his hands a blur of motion. In an instant, he had caught all of them. With a flick of his wrists, he sent the shuriken whistling back toward the Ninja.

The Ninja dodged to the side, drawing the katana from his back to swat the projectiles from the air. When he looked back at Lin Kuang, his pupils shrank in shock. He knew he had encountered a master.

"Tsk, tsk. A Ninja from the Island Country! You've certainly got guts, but you're not leaving here today." As he spoke, Lin Kuang's tone turned icy. He lunged forward, his hand shooting toward the Ninja's throat.

This Ninja was clearly skilled; otherwise, he wouldn't have dared to infiltrate this place alone—an act tantamount to suicide. Seeing Lin Kuang charge, the Ninja gripped his katana with both hands and brought it down in a vicious overhead slash at Lin Kuang's head. Lin Kuang's body jerked to the side, and the katana skimmed past his face. Instantly, the Ninja changed tactics, pivoting the blade horizontally for a brutal slash at Lin Kuang's waist.

Lin Kuang remained composed, as if he had already anticipated the move. He suddenly leaped, landing with his left foot on the flat of the katana's blade and using the momentum to launch his right foot in a vicious kick toward the Ninja's head. The entire sequence was completed in a flash, a testament to his incredible speed.

The Ninja's eyes flashed with shock at Lin Kuang's terrifying power. He twisted away, pushing off with both feet to sidestep, barely avoiding the fearsome kick.

The moment Lin Kuang's feet touched the ground, the Ninja struck again. He swung his katana at Lin Kuang's neck with enough force to sever it clean off. At that moment, Lin Kuang was caught off-balance, his old momentum spent and new strength not yet gathered. An ordinary person would not have been able to dodge this strike.

But Lin Kuang was no ordinary man. His body twisted with inhuman flexibility, contorting like a snake and causing the Ninja's slash to miss. As his body straightened, Lin Kuang snapped a fierce kick toward the Ninja's abdomen.

The Ninja leaped back, dodging the attack. He kept his katana ready, his eyes locked firmly on Lin Kuang. The brief exchange was enough for the Ninja to realize that Lin Kuang's power was formidable—at least on par with his own. If he wasn't careful, he could actually be left behind here. Thinking this, the Ninja became even more cautious.

Just then, the sound of approaching footsteps signaled the arrival of patrolling soldiers. The Ninja's eyes flickered at the sound. He knew that if the soldiers surrounded him, escape would be impossible. Besides, he still hadn't completed his mission: to eliminate Yamamoto Buryo and Cui Hongyu.

The Ninja didn't hesitate. His time was running out.

Another five or six shuriken shot toward Lin Kuang's head. Without even looking to see if they hit, the Ninja lunged, his katana slashing viciously at Yamamoto Buryo's head. He was clearly determined to kill Yamamoto Buryo, even if it cost him his own life.

Lin Kuang understood this perfectly; he could not let the Ninja succeed. He waved his hand, and a powerful burst of True Qi erupted from his palm, snatching the five or six shuriken out of the air. The next moment, Lin Kuang hurled them back at the Ninja, aiming for his shoulders, calves, and back. Lin Kuang didn't want to kill him; a dead man was useless, but a live captive was not.

Sensing the deadly projectiles whistling toward him from behind, the Ninja knew that he would be hit before his blade could reach Yamamoto Buryo. It was a bad trade, no matter how he looked at it.

The Ninja aborted his attack, leaping away to dodge the shuriken. His cold eyes glared furiously at Lin Kuang.

"Bastard! You ruined my mission! You will die!" the Ninja snarled. It was the first time he had spoken, his voice raspy and coarse, as if he hadn't used it in years.

As soon as he finished speaking, a blue syringe appeared in his hand, and he stabbed it viciously into his arm.

Seeing this, Lin Kuang's expression changed dramatically. That Frenzy Potion again! He surged forward, but he was a step too late. The Ninja had already injected the drug.

However, Lin Kuang was puzzled. The Ninja's body didn't go berserk. Instead, he seemed completely unchanged, as if nothing at all had happened.
