Unrivaled Soldier in the City-Chapter 286: The Curtain Falls

All of this downward momentum and tyrannical power was channeled into Nameless. Seeing this, the four ninjas, who were no fools, suddenly dispersed to evade Lin Kuang's attack. However, they were a step too slow. Lin Kuang was faster!

Nameless, held in Lin Kuang's hand, pierced directly through one ninja's Niwan Palace. Simultaneously, Lin Kuang's left palm struck the man's shoulder. Using the rebound force, he flipped backward swiftly. The instant Lin Kuang's feet touched the ground, the cold gleam of three katanas rapidly filled his vision, stabbing toward his brow, throat, and chest!

Seeing this, Lin Kuang pushed off with his feet, his body retreating in an explosive burst. At the same time, he swung Nameless.

CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!

Lin Kuang shattered all three katanas, leaving each of the three ninjas holding nothing but a hilt. They were stunned. In that brief moment of shock, Lin Kuang struck again, dashing forward at high speed. A flicker of his blade, Nameless, pierced through another man's throat.

The remaining two ninjas fiercely hurled their hilts at Lin Kuang's head. His left hand shot out and snatched both hilts from the air. The next moment, with a surge of force, the two hilts flew back toward the ninjas' brows, moving even faster than before.

One of them failed to dodge in time, and his head burst open in a grotesque blossom of blood and brains. The other ninja was more fortunate, managing to dodge the projectile by tilting his head. Just as he avoided the hilt, Lin Kuang's blade had already arrived. Nameless streaked through the air with a cold gleam, slicing through the ninja's neck.

THUD.

A severed head rolled across the ground as the body collapsed beside it.

Lin Kuang's breathing didn't even hitch, his expression impassive. Nameless shone as brightly as ever in his hand, without a single trace of blood on it.

After dispatching the four ninjas, Lin Kuang's gaze returned to Zhang Tianyou and the others. By now, five of the other fourteen ninjas had been killed, leaving nine, all of whom were injured. Although Zhang Tianyou and his men were also severely wounded, their combat effectiveness had barely diminished as they continued their frenzied assault.

This is how soldiers should be. Lin Kuang thought with a nod of satisfaction toward the Seal Special Team. He decided not to intervene, merely watching in silence.

Time trickled by. After more than ten minutes, the remaining nine ninjas were finally killed. Zhang Tianyou, Li Liang, Song Tao, and the others were thoroughly exhausted.

"Very good. Congratulations," Lin Kuang said with a smile, looking at the weary soldiers.

Upon hearing his words, smiles of relief and gratitude appeared on their faces. Although Lin Kuang hadn't joined the final fight, his presence alone was a powerful deterrent. His sheer presence forced the ninjas to divide their attention. They constantly had to guard against a sneak attack from him, which is ultimately what allowed Zhang Tianyou's team to claim victory. Of course, they might have won even if Lin Kuang wasn't there, but the price would have been far steeper.

"Finally, that's settled. I left two of them alive. I'll go bring them over," Lin Kuang said, about to go and capture the two little devils.

Just then, an inexplicable and intense sense of crisis welled up in his heart, so strong it was almost paralyzing.

"Move it!" he roared. In that instant, Lin Kuang held nothing back. The Life Gate and the Injury Gate burst open, and his power surged to an unprecedented peak! The next moment, terrifying True Qi erupted from his body, enveloping everyone.

Zhang Tianyou, Zhang Guodong, Song Tao, and the others had no idea what was happening. Hearing Lin Kuang's shout, they instinctively broke into a mad sprint. Lin Kuang then used his powerful True Qi, pulling the dozen or so men along with him and accelerating them to speeds they had never before reached.

Just as the group sprinted more than thirty meters away, the twenty dead ninjas behind them suddenly exploded!

"Get down!" Lin Kuang bellowed.

Everyone hit the ground as a dense True Qi Shield enveloped them. The next moment, a pillar of fire shot into the sky, completely obliterating the twenty corpses without leaving a trace. Ferocious flames and a powerful shockwave surged outward, washing over their protective barrier. After two or three agonizing seconds, the inferno above them finally dissipated.

When the fire vanished, Lin Kuang and the others reappeared. The wild grass around them was still burning, and the air was thick with the smell of gunpowder.

Lin Kuang staggered to his feet, his face deathly pale. Maintaining the True Qi Shield had taken a massive toll on him. Fortunately, he had already opened the Injury Gate. Otherwise, he might not have been able to defend against that blast.

As Lin Kuang stood up, Zhang Guodong, Zhang Tianyou, Song Tao, and the others also groaned as they struggled to their feet. Each of them was covered in soot, their faces etched with lingering fear. Had it not been for Lin Kuang's decisive action and lightning-fast reflexes, they would all be dead.

At this thought, the gazes Song Tao and the members of the Thunderhawk Special Forces directed at Lin Kuang were filled with immense gratitude and respect.

"Lin Kuang, thank you," Zhang Guodong said with grave sincerity. He knew that if it weren't for Lin Kuang, he truly would have died.

"Instructor Lin, thank you!" Song Tao and the Thunderhawk Special Forces members added with equal gratitude.

Lin Kuang just smiled and shook his head. "It's nothing. It's my duty. Let's go. We should be safe now."

Saying this, he took a deep breath, a murderous glint in his eyes. I never expected them to be so ruthless as to plant bombs inside their own men! If I hadn't sensed the danger in advance, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

Just then, a series of footsteps rang out, causing Zhang Tianyou, Song Tao, and the others to tense up, their expressions instantly becoming alert. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

"Don't worry," Lin Kuang said with a smile. "It's Commander Yang, Sun Lei, and the others."

Sure enough, the footsteps grew closer, and Yang Wucheng, Sun Lei, Wang Hong, Zhou Shuang, and Chen Hai appeared before them. Compared to Lin Kuang's group, these five were neatly dressed and unharmed. It was clear the entire operation had been aimed specifically at Zhang Guodong.

"Old Devil Zhang, are you alright?" Yang Wucheng asked with concern, rushing to Zhang Guodong's side and taking in his battered appearance.

"Of course. I plan on outliving you, after all," Zhang Guodong said, laughing heartily at Yang Wucheng's worried expression.
