Lin Kuang didn’t care how cornered Inoue Kenta felt; the situation was entirely in his favor. With that thought, he attacked again. His unyielding and radiant True Qi enveloped Nameless as he launched a fierce assault against Inoue Kenta. Seeing this, Inoue Kenta didn’t dare to be careless. Although he felt suffocated by the pressure, he could only grit his teeth and endure it.

The two clashed once more, their energies intertwining—Lin Kuang’s unyieldingly radiant True Qi against Inoue Kenta’s vile True Qi. As the battle raged on, it became clear Inoue Kenta was outmatched. Lin Kuang had been stronger from the start, and now his True Qi was actively suppressing his opponent’s. How could he possibly win?

Their weapons collided again, chipping another notch into Inoue Kenta’s Zuo Feng. He used the force of the impact to spring away. Inoue Kenta glared at Lin Kuang, his expression venomous and his eyes simmering with murderous intent.

“Lin Kuang, I’m going to kill you!” Inoue Kenta roared.

The next moment, the evil aura within him erupted, pouring into the Zuo Feng in his hands. Instantly, the blade’s cold glint vanished, replaced by a pitch-black sheen that made it resemble a Magic Blade.

Seeing this, Lin Kuang’s expression grew solemn. He knew this was Inoue Kenta’s final, desperate strike, and it would be incredibly powerful. Taking a deep breath, Lin Kuang flooded Nameless with his own True Qi. The sword instantly erupted in a dazzling light, humming as if in anticipation.

At that moment, Inoue Kenta gripped the hilt of Zuo Feng with both hands. The Magic Blade radiated an even denser, darker aura. In the next instant, he swung the blade down with all his might. As he slashed, Zuo Feng’s physical blade vanished, replaced by an arc of pure, dark energy that shot toward Lin Kuang.

Lin Kuang immediately sensed an impending crisis. The sense of danger didn’t seem to come from the arc of energy itself, but was somehow still connected to it. The feeling was bizarre, yet undeniably real. Not daring to let his guard down, Lin Kuang braced for a hidden threat and brought Nameless slashing down!

A dazzling, golden sword light flared, carrying an unyielding and radiant aura as it slashed forward.

Instantly, the two forces collided violently.

BOOM!

A deafening roar erupted as if a grenade had detonated between them, the power of the explosion absolutely horrifying.

Yet Lin Kuang felt a premonition, his eyes remaining fixed on the arc of evil energy. At that very moment, a pitch-black shadow shot out from the collision, aiming directly for him. The shadow was unbelievably fast, appearing before Lin Kuang in the blink of an eye.

Lin Kuang, who had been watching intently, felt his expression change as his eyes widened in shock. He could clearly see that the shadow had a ferocious snake’s head, an utterly terrifying sight! Even more horrifying, this serpentine shadow emanated an incredibly potent and pure evil aura. It was as if the most malevolent thing in existence had just been unleashed.

But Lin Kuang had no time for contemplation. He knew with absolute certainty that if he didn’t destroy this shadow snake, he would die.

At this thought, a frenzied killing intent flared in Lin Kuang’s eyes. He immediately opened the Injury Gate! The moment the Fourth Gate, the Injury Gate, opened, Lin Kuang’s power surged once more, a terrifying strength flooding his body.

He gripped Nameless, channeling all his True Qi into the blade. Instantly, the sword began to glow with a blinding light. At the same time, Nameless began to tremble, emitting a low hum as if in excitement. Lin Kuang had now pushed his strength to its absolute limit. He swung Nameless down with immense force! A pulsing blade of light erupted from Nameless, chopping ruthlessly toward the shadow snake’s head.

The snake head suddenly opened its maw, revealing incredibly realistic fangs formed from black energy. Stranger still, Lin Kuang could swear he heard the shadow snake hiss—a bizarre and unsettling sensation. Bizarre or not, Lin Kuang didn’t hesitate. He brought Nameless down hard on the snake head formed of dark energy.

BANG!

With a muffled thud, Lin Kuang’s blade split the shadow snake’s head open. The shadow snake instantly dissipated into the air.

However, Lin Kuang was left with the unsettling feeling that the shadow snake had somehow marked him, a sensation that made his skin crawl. He quickly circulated his True Qi through his body twice, and the unpleasant feeling finally faded away.

Meanwhile, Inoue Kenta was half-kneeling on the ground, his gaze locked on Lin Kuang. Seeing Lin Kuang standing there completely unharmed, his eyes filled with disbelief.

“How… how is this possible?” he muttered. “The evil True Qi my master bestowed upon me… it was actually destroyed?”

Although Inoue Kenta’s voice was soft, Lin Kuang still heard him. When he spoke the word “master,” Lin Kuang paused.

Master? Who on earth is this guy?

Without giving Inoue Kenta a chance to say another word, Lin Kuang’s fingers flew, tapping several points on his body to seal his True Qi before knocking him unconscious.

Just then, the dozen men from the Island Country recovered their senses, and all eyes fell on Lin Kuang.

“Damn it! Fire! Kill him!” one of them, who seemed to be a minor leader, roared.

However, before they could even raise their weapons, two Desert Eagles had already materialized in Lin Kuang’s hands. He aimed the black muzzles and opened fire.

BANG! BANG! BANG!

A rapid succession of gunshots echoed out, and Lin Kuang took down all dozen men. None survived. There was no point in keeping them alive; these small-fry wouldn’t know anything important. Besides, he had already captured Inoue Kenta alive, which was more than enough.

Seeing Lin Kuang dispatch everyone with such efficiency, Ye Rong and Ye Tiannan were both shocked and overjoyed. The two of them quickly ran out of the room.

“Young Master Lin, thank you! Thank you so much!” Ye Rong exclaimed. As he spoke, he bowed deeply, his voice filled with immense gratitude.

“Young Master Lin, thank you,” Ye Tiannan added with equal sincerity, also bowing to Lin Kuang.

Seeing this, Lin Kuang offered a faint smile. “There’s no need to be so formal, you two. Please clean this up. If the police show up, I’ll leave it to you to explain things. I have other business to attend to, so I’ll be on my way.”

With that, Lin Kuang hoisted the unconscious Inoue Kenta off the ground and turned to leave.

“Take care, Young Master Lin!” Ye Rong called out to his retreating figure.
