Unrivaled Soldier in the City

Chapter 600: The Last Sword

At this sight, Gongsun Zhan’s eyes brightened. He swung the Slash Path Sword over his head.

CLANG!

A piercing crash resounded.

BOOM!

A tremendous force erupted violently around the two men, blasting even distant trees to smithereens. The power was truly at its peak!

Feeling the terrifying power of Lin Kuang’s attack, Gongsun Zhan’s heart filled with excitement. For a battle fanatic like him, the stronger the opponent, the more interesting the fight.

"Good," Gongsun Zhan said. "This is the power I hoped to see from the wielder of Nameless!"

The next moment, his body abruptly shifted sideways. He fiercely swung the Slash Path Sword toward Lin Kuang’s neck, aiming to sever his head in a single blow.

However, Lin Kuang had already broken through, and his strength had surged. It was unrealistic for Gongsun Zhan to think he could finish him off so easily.

In a flash, Lin Kuang retreated explosively, holding Nameless horizontally before him to block.

CLANG!

The grating sound of steel on steel rang out again as their attacks met with another explosive impact.

Both men were thrown back, their gazes warily sizing each other up. They had both felt their opponent’s strength and knew they couldn’t afford to be careless. A single mistake would mean death. They circled each other slowly, eyes locked.

After a long moment, they both exploded into motion, their figures clashing once more. In an instant, Nameless and Slash Path collided again and again. The continuous clang of metal echoed as their figures moved too fast to be followed. It was a terrifying battle, fought at a frenzied speed. Wherever they passed, trees shattered, creating a horrifying scene.

CLANG!

The famed swords in their hands clashed fiercely once more, locking them in place with their bodies a mere ten centimeters apart.

Suddenly, Lin Kuang freed a hand and punched at Gongsun Zhan’s head. Gongsun Zhan reacted instantly, his other palm shooting up to block the blow.

BOOM!

Fist met palm, and both men staggered back from the impact.

They steadied themselves in the next instant and shot toward each other again. This time, they began to fight for their lives, holding nothing back as they unleashed their most powerful, hidden techniques. Fists met palms and swords collided, each attack more terrifying than the last.

As they crossed paths, Gongsun Zhan’s Slash Path pierced through Lin Kuang’s left shoulder. However, Gongsun Zhan did not escape unscathed. A kick from Lin Kuang slammed into his abdomen, turning his face pale.

Both were sent flying backward in an instant. Lin Kuang quickly moved to seal his wound, knowing he couldn’t afford the continuous blood loss.

Blood trickled from the corner of Gongsun Zhan’s mouth, his face ashen. Lin Kuang’s kick had not been light, and the blow to his lower abdomen was excruciatingly painful.

Staring at Gongsun Zhan, Lin Kuang said with a smile, "How about it? Not disappointed, are you?"

Gongsun Zhan replied, his tone carrying a genuine hint of amusement, "Not at all. On the contrary, I’m greatly excited."

Hearing this, Lin Kuang was startled for a moment before nodding. "Very well. Then the battle continues!"

With that, he dashed out like lightning, thrusting Nameless fiercely toward Gongsun Zhan’s heart.

Seeing this, Gongsun Zhan didn’t dare to be careless. Lin Kuang is my equal now. If I let my guard down, I might not die, but it will be a close call.

With that thought, he retreated explosively, swinging his Slash Path to deflect Nameless. Gongsun Zhan immediately followed up with a fierce kick aimed at Lin Kuang’s abdomen.

Using the Bagua Liu Xu footwork, Lin Kuang’s body shifted swiftly, and Gongsun Zhan’s kick missed entirely. At the same time, Lin Kuang’s fist smashed out fiercely toward Gongsun Zhan’s knee. If this blow landed, his leg would be crippled.

Gongsun Zhan was well aware of the consequences. He instantly shifted his leg, transforming the movement into a powerful roundhouse kick aimed brutally at Lin Kuang’s waist. Lin Kuang retreated explosively in response, sweeping Nameless horizontally toward Gongsun Zhan’s attacking leg.

Gongsun Zhan brought his leg down hard, and in the same instant, thrust the Slash Path straight for the space between Lin Kuang’s eyebrows. Lin Kuang was still in the middle of his downward swing; it was too late to bring Nameless back to block. Nevertheless, his gaze remained fixed intently on the approaching sword.

Just as the blade was about to pierce his brow, Lin Kuang’s body shifted in a flash, his speed pushed to its absolute limit. In the next moment, his figure appeared behind Gongsun Zhan, Nameless thrusting fiercely toward the back of his heart.

Sensing the sharp wind at his back, Gongsun Zhan’s expression changed slightly. He pushed off with his feet, his body shifting sideways in an instant to narrowly avoid the attack. However, Lin Kuang didn’t give him a chance to counterattack.

Lin Kuang’s Nameless slashed horizontally, aiming fiercely for Gongsun Zhan’s abdomen. In response, Gongsun Zhan’s Slash Path flickered and blocked the attack. At that exact moment, Lin Kuang’s right leg shot up in a fierce kick aimed at Gongsun Zhan’s knee.

Gongsun Zhan met the attack by bending his own leg and delivering a sharp knee strike to the sole of Lin Kuang’s foot. The brutal impact sent a numbing jolt through Lin Kuang’s leg. However, a strange suction force seemed to emanate from his sole. Using Gongsun Zhan’s knee as a launchpad, Lin Kuang vaulted into the air, his other foot kicking fiercely toward Gongsun Zhan’s jaw.

This sudden turn of events caught Gongsun Zhan off guard, and his expression flickered as he saw Lin Kuang launch into the air. He retreated quickly. It’s too late to counterattack now. My only choice is to dodge, unless I want his foot to connect with my head—which is obviously not an option.

The moment Gongsun Zhan dodged, Lin Kuang’s eyes lit up. From the very beginning, all my attacks were a setup for this exact moment. As long as he dodges this kick, victory is mine. My sword is ready.

As his feet touched the ground, Lin Kuang swept Nameless out forcefully.

Gongsun Zhan froze, his expression as impassive as ever. The blade had grazed past his neck, leaving a thin, bloody line.

"I’ve lost," he said, wiping the trickle of blood away. "Why didn’t you kill me?"
