Unrivaled Soldier in the City

Chapter 621 Battling Cros

"Indeed, the ancient Orient harbors many powerful beings beyond your imagination. This place is not meant for you vampires. However, since you’ve already come, don’t even think about leaving." Lin Kuang stood with his hands behind his back, his tone icy and his eyes glittering with a cold light.

Upon hearing this, Cros gave a slight smile. "You wish to keep us here? Young man, I acknowledge your strength is commendable, but to think you could kill us... you can’t do it alone." There was strong confidence in his words. As an ancient vampire Duke, Cros’s power was not to be underestimated—how else could he have obtained his title?

"Is that so? Idle talk seems pointless. Make your move. Let me see just how formidable a vampire Duke truly is," Lin Kuang said calmly, looking at Cros.

"Very well. Since you’re so confident, I am more than willing to oblige you!" Cros replied indifferently.

The next moment, a powerful dark aura burst forth from him, instantly shrouding the room. An oppressive power filled the space, causing Britney’s beautiful face to turn grim as a hint of unease crept into her expression.

"Lin Kuang, I’m sorry for using you," Britney said with trepidation, stepping forward to stand in front of him. "If you can’t win, you should escape quickly."

Hearing this, Lin Kuang was momentarily stunned, surprised by her actions. "It’s fine. He’s just a minor Duke. I can handle him," he said with a laugh, his tone still brimming with confidence.

Britney was taken aback, not expecting him to be so self-assured. "Are you sure? This is a Duke we’re talking about. He’s incredibly powerful," she warned, looking into his eyes with utmost seriousness.

Lin Kuang nodded. "I understand. I can feel that this Cros is powerful, but he can’t kill me!" he said with a smile.

Seeing his confidence, Britney no longer stood in his way and turned to clear a path.

"Cros, is it? Impressive strength," Lin Kuang stated calmly. At the same time, the Eight Gates Escape Technique within him suddenly activated.

Open Door, Rest Gate, Life Gate, Injury Gate, The Du Gate, and Scenic Gate—six gates opened in unison. Lin Kuang’s strength surged as a tumultuous power erupted from him. As this overwhelming power was unleashed, Cros’s expression shifted slightly. He clearly hadn’t expected Lin Kuang to possess such frightening strength.

"Cros, you vampire, die!" As he spoke, Lin Kuang’s figure vanished from his spot, a punch flying directly at Cros’s head.

Cros immediately shielded Adolf behind him. Faced with such an attack, Adolf would surely die, and Cros couldn’t risk his life. As Lin Kuang charged, Cros shot his hand out. In an instant, his previously unremarkable fingernails grew with startling speed, extending a full two inches! The nails looked incredibly sharp, like the hardest of daggers.

Lin Kuang was somewhat surprised, not expecting vampires to possess such an ability. Let’s see just how tough those things are!

Immediately, True Qi surged around his fist, enveloping his hand as he struck directly at Cros’s fingernails.

Cros sneered inwardly. His nails were his sharpest weapon, yet Lin Kuang dared to underestimate him—a death wish. With that thought, their fists and claws collided fiercely.

SHINK!

With the sound of something being pierced, the True Qi protecting Lin Kuang’s fist was penetrated. Cros’s sharp nails stabbed directly against his fist but failed to break the skin. Even so, Lin Kuang was extremely shocked. He knew his True Qi’s defensive power well, yet Cros’s nails had actually managed to penetrate it. This showed just how incredibly sharp and hard they were.

But Lin Kuang wasn’t the only one shocked; Cros was utterly astonished. Apart from his fangs, his nails were the sturdiest part of his body. Yet, the nails he took such pride in had only managed to pierce the True Qi around Lin Kuang’s fist without even breaking the skin. This outcome was stunning.

"I’m going to chop off those disgusting nails of yours!" Lin Kuang declared.

The very next moment, he drew the Nameless Sword with his left hand and ferociously slashed towards Cros’s nails. Cros instantly withdrew his hand, dodging the strike. Lin Kuang then switched the Nameless Sword to his right hand, pushed off with his feet, and activated the Bagua Willow Catkin Step Technique. The sword became a blur, stabbing toward Cros’s brow with extreme speed.

Cros’s expression changed, surprised by Lin Kuang’s incredible velocity. Speed was a vampire’s greatest asset, yet Lin Kuang’s was not the slightest bit slower than his own. In fact, he was even slightly faster. This fact was deeply shocking to Cros.

However, shock was one thing; this was no time to be distracted. With a shift of his feet, Cros viciously lunged, his sharp nails aiming for Lin Kuang’s throat. Lin Kuang remained calm, swinging the Nameless Sword in a horizontal arc to slash directly at Cros’s arm. In response, Cros’s arm flickered, his sharp nails streaking toward Lin Kuang’s wrist as if to sever it completely.

Seeing this, Lin Kuang let out a cold laugh. The horizontally sweeping Nameless Sword snapped vertical, its sharp tip stabbing viciously toward Cros’s throat. If Cros continued his attack, the sword would pierce his windpipe.

Seeing the Nameless Sword closing in, Cros naturally didn’t dare press his assault. He shot backward in a rapid sideways movement, dodging the attack. Before Cros could counter, Lin Kuang decisively struck again, swinging the Nameless Sword ferociously at Cros’s head.

Damn it, I’ll break that thing! The sword in Lin Kuang’s hand infuriated Cros.

In the next moment, he raised his left hand, intending to block the Nameless Sword with his sharp nails. He then planned to use the nails on his right hand to shatter the blade.

Of course, it was a good idea in theory, but he was trying to block the Nameless Sword—a terrifyingly powerful weapon. Forget his fingers; even his hardest fangs would be shattered by that blade.

It was just that Cros didn’t know any better; after all, he was supremely confident in his own nails. And it was precisely because of this confidence that he was headed for a rude awakening.

The Nameless Sword swept across his hand. The five sharp nails on his left hand all snapped off.
