Chapter 585 Battle Begins
Chapter 585 Battle Begins
Facing the attack of three people, Lin Kuang appeared relaxed on the surface, but inwardly, he was gravely serious.
After all, Miura Ken and Fan Fengxian were both as strong as he was, and there was also a hidden assassin ready to ambush him at any moment. This combination of three opponents was a crisis for Lin Kuang.
Of course, if Lin Kuang wanted to leave, the three of them would never be able to catch him with his Bagua Willow Catkin Step Technique. But Lin Kuang didn’t want to leave. A martial artist grows through constant combat and relentless training! After all, no eagle has ever grown strong under the shelter of its feathers.
With this thought, Lin Kuang forced his mind into a state of absolute calm. Nameless in his hand emanated a cold gleam.
At that moment, Miura Ken’s katana arrived, thrusting fiercely toward Lin Kuang’s chest, while Fan Fengxian’s longsword aimed for his back. They attacked with killing intent, hoping to finish Lin Kuang off in a single move.
However, Lin Kuang was not so easily dispatched. With a slight movement of his feet, he swiftly evaded both attacks. At the same time, Nameless quivered in his hand as he slashed down, aiming for Fan Fengxian’s head. Seeing this, Fan Fengxian swiftly raised his longsword to parry the strike.
CLANG!
The grating sound of metal on metal rang out as Nameless was blocked. However, Lin Kuang suddenly exerted more force through his hand, causing the Nameless Sword to vibrate intensely. In a flash, the blade of the Nameless Sword bent, its tip darting viciously toward Fan Fengxian’s throat.
This sudden turn of events caught Fan Fengxian by surprise. His expression changed as he saw the sword tip aiming for his throat. But Fan Fengxian was a master, after all. In that critical moment, he shot backward, barely dodging the strike.
Just then, Miura Ken’s katana arrived. It swept horizontally, slashing fiercely at Lin Kuang’s head.
Seeing this, Lin Kuang shifted his feet, quickly avoiding the katana. Simultaneously, he thrust Nameless fiercely toward Miura Ken’s heart.
Lin Kuang’s speed was incredible, and Nameless reached Miura Ken’s heart in an instant. Miura Ken’s face paled slightly at the sight. The next moment, his feet moved in a series of small, swift steps. Although the footwork looked minimal, it allowed him to move with incredible speed, enabling him to dodge Lin Kuang’s attack.
Lin Kuang’s expression remained unchanged. He swept Nameless horizontally, sending a series of slashes at Miura Ken’s waist.
Just as Lin Kuang made his move, Fan Fengxian charged in, his longsword also sweeping horizontally toward Lin Kuang’s head.
If I decapitate Miura Ken, my own head will likely be forfeit. With this thought, Lin Kuang retreated explosively.
In the very instant he retreated, the ever-hidden Yin suddenly appeared. Yin’s timing was perfect. Lin Kuang’s retreat was the best possible opportunity for an assassination. Yin’s dagger thrust fiercely toward Lin Kuang’s back. The attack was so fast that in the blink of an eye, the blade was less than an inch away.
However, at this moment, Lin Kuang’s feet moved swiftly as the Bagua Willow Catkin Step Technique displayed its powerful effect. His body flashed, and he instantly appeared at Yin’s side. In that instant, Yin sensed grave danger, but it was already too late for him to dodge.
Meanwhile, Lin Kuang was swinging Nameless in a horizontal arc, intending to kill Yin.
Just then, Miura Ken and Fan Fengxian rushed in. Yin was their ally. If he died, they would lose a part of their strength. Naturally, they couldn’t let him die.
Miura Ken’s katana blocked Nameless, while Fan Fengxian’s longsword stabbed toward Lin Kuang’s temple. Luckily, the two arrived just in time; otherwise, Yin would have been finished.
Having narrowly escaped death, Yin couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief. He would be more cautious next time, making it undoubtedly harder for Lin Kuang to kill him.
Lin Kuang was also annoyed. I finally had a chance to kill Yin, only for them to interfere!
"You two are really annoying!" Lin Kuang said angrily.
The next moment, Lin Kuang held nothing back, unleashing his full power and pushing his strength to its peak. A terrifying force burst forth from within him, and his power surged. He shook Nameless fiercely, and a powerful force erupted from it, sending Miura Ken staggering back.
At the same time, Lin Kuang’s body swerved to the side, dodging Fan Fengxian’s attack. He brought Nameless slashing down forcefully, aiming for Fan Fengxian’s arm.
Of course, Fan Fengxian wasn’t about to let Lin Kuang cut off his arm. He quickly pulled his arm back and retreated at top speed.
Meanwhile, Miura Ken, who had been temporarily repelled, charged forward again, his katana stabbing viciously toward Lin Kuang’s lower back. Feeling the vicious gust of wind from behind, Lin Kuang frowned. These guys are really a handful! With that thought, he suddenly swept Nameless behind him.
CLANG!
Nameless collided with Miura Ken’s katana, knocking it aside and temporarily alleviating Lin Kuang’s crisis. At that moment, Fan Fengxian attacked again. The two of them renewed their pincer attack on Lin Kuang, while the hidden Yin watched for an opportunity to strike.
A fierce battle thus erupted.
The three fighters moved at extreme speeds, their figures becoming mere blurs. Only the occasional clang of metal proved a battle was taking place; otherwise, one might have thought they were seeing ghosts. Yin struck several times but failed to harm Lin Kuang. Lin Kuang was too cunning, and his Step Technique was too unpredictable. He managed to turn danger into safety every time, leaving Yin with no openings to exploit, much to his frustration.
THUD!
A muffled grunt sounded as the three fighters momentarily separated.
By now, Lin Kuang’s clothes were torn in many places, with blood flowing from wounds on his chest and shoulder. Yet his complexion was healthy, and his fighting prowess was as fierce as ever.
Fan Fengxian and Miura Ken also looked terrible. They too were covered in wounds, with blood oozing from several of them. They had thought that trapping and killing Lin Kuang would be a simple task, but he was far tougher than they had imagined.
"Your strength is nothing special," Lin Kuang sneered. The formidable True Qi inside him surged, sealing his wounds and stopping the bleeding.
Hearing Lin Kuang’s words, Miura Ken and Fan Fengxian’s expressions shifted, revealing a mixture of shame and anger.
