Unrivaled Soldier in the City

Chapter 423 423 Chaotic Tai Chi Sword

"Lin Kuang, I'm going to kill you! I'm going to kill you!" Chen Zhongrui roared frantically, his pupils instantly turning blood-red.

"Kill me? You?" Lin Kuang sneered.

"I'm going to kill you!" Chen Zhongrui ground out, word by word.

The next moment, he charged forward, his palm striking ferociously toward Lin Kuang's head.

Seeing this, Lin Kuang sneered again. With a slight application of force, his right hand snapped Chen Shaowen's neck.

In that instant, Chen Shaowen was dead.

"Let me send you a funeral gift first!" Lin Kuang said with a cold laugh, hurling Chen Shaowen's corpse directly at Chen Zhongrui.

Watching his son's body fly toward him, Chen Zhongrui's eyes turned crimson. He forcibly retracted his attack and caught Chen Shaowen's body. Looking at his son's face, twisted in agony, Chen Zhongrui was driven completely mad.

"Lin Kuang, I swear I will kill you! I don't care if you flee to the ends of the earth, I will kill you!" Chen Zhongrui howled, tears of blood streaming from his eyes.

"Hmph. Chen Zhongrui, do you know what this is called? This is called retribution! That scum Chen Shaowen deserved this. He had to die," Lin Kuang said with utter disdain as he quickly retreated to Yang Ruoxi's side. At the same time, his palm tapped several points on her body.

In a flash, Yang Ruoxi regained her mobility, though her face was pale.

"Lin Kuang, is that really you? Am I dreaming?" Yang Ruoxi murmured, looking at him as tears streamed from her beautiful eyes. She felt as if she were in a dream, and even if it was fake, she wanted to believe it was real.

Seeing her state, Lin Kuang tenderly pulled her into his arms. "Yes, it's real, Ruoxi. I'm here to save you. Don't worry. With me here, no one will dare to hurt you. Trust me, I will kill them all!"

Lin Kuang's voice was gentle, but the killing intent in his heart had flared to its peak. He had only been this furious once before: when Mu Wan died. This was the second time.

"Yes, I believe you. I've always trusted you," Yang Ruoxi murmured, clinging tightly to him, her eyes brimming with tears.

"Alright, no more crying. I'll carry you on my back, and we'll fight our way out," Lin Kuang said softly, gently patting her shoulders.

Hearing this, Yang Ruoxi nodded and climbed onto Lin Kuang's back. The moment she was secure, Lin Kuang drew Nameless from his waist. The cold, gleaming blade pointed directly at Liu Daotong and Chen Zhongrui.

"You two beasts, come on! Today, I'll take your heads!" Lin Kuang's voice was frigid, his words dripping with murderous intent.

"Arrogant brat. Do you think you're worthy of killing me?" Liu Daotong said disdainfully, pulling a sword from his back. It was the Seven Stars Sword. In the Ancient Martial Realm, Liu Daotong also had a modest title: Perfected Master of the Seven Stars.

"Brother Dao, there's no need for you to act. The feud for my son's death is mine to settle alone," Chen Zhongrui said, getting to his feet, his eyes still streaked with tears of blood.

"You are all going to die," Lin Kuang stated again, his voice thick with killing intent.

"Boy, you're far too arrogant!" Liu Daotong said, his expression turning ugly.

"Lin Kuang, I'm going to kill you!" Chen Zhongrui repeated. The next moment, he shot forward, his hands flowing as he executed the Chen family's Tai Chi to meet Lin Kuang in battle.

Seeing this, Lin Kuang remained calm. He used the Willow Catkin Technique, moving with exceptional speed to appear instantly before Chen Zhongrui. Nameless danced in his hand, bypassing Chen Zhongrui's guard and thrusting straight toward the point between his eyebrows.

Though his heart burned with rage, Chen Zhongrui had not lost his reason. His palms waved, and a powerful Force surged from them, redirecting Lin Kuang's Nameless to the side. It was the Roll-back Force!

Lin Kuang's expression remained as indifferent as ever. With a sudden shake of his wrist, he unleashed the Ward-off Force from Tai Chi, instantly breaking Chen Zhongrui's technique. Nameless skimmed past Chen Zhongrui's cheek, leaving a deep gash from which blood began to drip.

Chen Zhongrui's heart seized, and he immediately retreated.

"What's the matter? Seem familiar? That was the Ward-off Force from Tai Chi. Today, I will use Tai Chi Force to kill you!" Lin Kuang declared, his intent to kill chillingly clear.

"You think you can kill me just by learning a few superficial tricks? You're overestimating yourself!" With that, Chen Zhongrui charged again, but this time he was far more cautious. After all, Lin Kuang was not an opponent he could afford to underestimate.

Watching Chen Zhongrui's attack, Lin Kuang's blade trembled. He engaged his foe in combat, all while still carrying Yang Ruoxi on his back. Lin Kuang was clever. If Tai Chi could be performed with hands, why not with a sword? After all, there was a Swordsmanship known as Tai Chi Sword. What Lin Kuang used, however, was his own creation: the Chaotic Tai Chi Sword!

Nameless danced in his hand, shimmering with light as Tai Chi Force burst forth, immediately suppressing Chen Zhongrui.

Feeling the pressure, Chen Zhongrui's expression turned grim. He had never imagined Lin Kuang could suppress him. If this continued, he might actually lose. The thought made his face darken further.

The next instant, Chen Zhongrui stopped holding back. He went all out, his power surging explosively as he forcefully repelled Lin Kuang with a strike from both palms. Simultaneously, he closed the distance, swinging his hands viciously toward Lin Kuang's chest.

Seeing this, Lin Kuang used the Willow Catkin Technique to retreat at high speed. At the same time, he too stopped hiding his true strength.

"The Gate of Opening—Open!

The Gate of Rest—Open!

The Gate of Life—Open!

The Gate of Injury—Open!"

As Lin Kuang roared, four Gates burst open within him. His power skyrocketed as a tyrannical force flooded his body.

Feeling the terrifying strength Lin Kuang had just unleashed, the expressions on Chen Zhongrui and Liu Daotong changed drastically. A look of utter shock crossed Liu Daotong's face. "The Eight Gates Escape Technique! You... you can actually use the Eight Gates Escape Technique!" he exclaimed, astonished.

Liu Daotong had only read about Martial Arts like the Eight Gates Escape Technique in ancient texts; he had never seen anyone actually perform it. But today, he was seeing it. What Lin Kuang had just executed was precisely the Eight Gates Escape Technique.

"That's right. You have some insight. It is indeed the Eight Gates Escape Technique," Lin Kuang answered calmly, not bothering to hide it.

"It really is the Eight Gates Escape Technique. Boy, you must die!" Liu Daotong declared. He brandished his Seven Stars Sword and lunged forward to kill.

If it had been anyone else, Liu Daotong might not have interfered. But against someone who knew the Eight Gates Escape Technique, he had to act
