Unrivaled Soldier in the City

Hearing Ling Xiu’er’s angry words, Cheng Ku’s face turned a few shades darker.

In the current situation, anything Cheng Ku says is wrong; even his own people don’t support him. What else can he say?

Of course, he can only blame himself for seeking death!

"Hoo, sorry, I was impulsive. But I really need this Mengma’s Demon Core. Please, benefactor, show mercy and sell it to me."

Looking at Lin Kuang, Cheng Ku spoke with genuine sincerity, as if he had changed into another person.

On hearing this, Lin Kuang smirked inwardly. This Cheng Ku does have some schemes, but compared to Lin Kuang, he falls short.

Does he really think such a disguise can fool Lin Kuang? Is that even possible? It’s simply not possible.

"But I also really need this Demon Core, or else why wouldn’t I just give it to you?"

Lin Kuang said with some apology, appearing very sincere.

Since the other party wanted to act, Lin Kuang naturally wanted to compete—his acting skills were by no means inferior to that of others.

Seeing Lin Kuang’s quick transition, Cheng Ku was slightly stunned, while murderous intent filled his heart.

His plan was quite good: by speaking so sincerely, if Lin Kuang continued to act tough, it would be unreasonable.

After all, people are always sympathetic to the weak.

As long as Lin Kuang is tough and rude, Cheng Ku would find a way to deal with him.

But Lin Kuang was even more cunning, or perhaps smarter, than he had imagined.

Faced with the current Lin Kuang, Cheng Ku really didn’t know what to say.

If he still wanted that Demon Core, it was obvious he was pushing too hard.

Thinking of this, Cheng Ku’s face darkened several more shades, yet he couldn’t say a word.

Seeing this, Lin Kuang sneered inwardly. To play scheming games with him, Cheng Ku still needed to practice for a few more years.

"I’ll go fetch the Demon Core first."

Lin Kuang said with a smile, then walked to the front of the Mengma, slashing open its head and retrieving the Demon Core.

The Demon Core, about the size of a soccer ball, was filled with violent Profound Qi.

Lin Kuang wasn’t courteous, directly storing the Demon Core into his Blue Sea Bracelet.

Seeing this scene, Cheng Ku’s face looked very unpleasant.

"Boy, just you wait. If I get the chance, I will definitely slay you!"

Cheng Ku thought viciously in his heart, then walked towards Zhang Qi.

The fact that Zhang Qi was crippled was no small matter; Zhang Qi was a genius within the Heavenly Spirit Sect, and his father was the lord of a city.

If his father knew he was crippled, it wouldn’t be a stretch to say he’d go berserk.

Ling Xiu’er and Guan Tao stayed where they were; they didn’t like Cheng Ku and Zhang Qi, so they didn’t move.

At this moment, Lin Kuang walked back.

"Benefactor, I apologize, but my senior brothers went too far."

Looking at Lin Kuang, Ling Xiu’er said apologetically.

On hearing this, Lin Kuang shook his head: "It’s okay."

"By the way, benefactor, what is your name?"

At this moment, Guan Tao asked.

On hearing this, Ling Xiu’er also fixed her beautiful eyes on Lin Kuang, as she didn’t know his name either.

"Me? I’m Lin Kuang. It’s nice to meet you."

Lin Kuang said with a smile.

After all, these two were the first real humans he had met on the Xuanwu Continent, and Tu Hongyi couldn’t really be considered human.

"Lin Kuang? Senior Brother Lin, hello, I am Ling Xiu’er, it’s a pleasure to meet you."

Ling Xiu’er said with a smile, slightly bowing to show her respect for Lin Kuang.

On hearing this, Guan Tao also clasped his hands: "Senior Brother Lin, I’m also very glad to meet you."

Seeing this, Lin Kuang also clasped his hands with a smile: "Ah, there’s no need to be so formal, just call me Lin Kuang."

While the three were talking, Cheng Ku supported Zhang Qi and walked over.

Cheng Ku’s face was displeased, Zhang Qi’s even more so, his eyes filled with venom as he looked at Lin Kuang, as if he wanted to swallow him whole.

Lin Kuang didn’t mind. Now that Zhang Qi was crippled, he posed no threat to Lin Kuang.

"Junior Sister, Junior Brother, we should go too."

At this moment, Cheng Ku said plainly, not even looking at Lin Kuang.

On hearing this, Ling Xiu’er and Guan Tao both nodded. After all, they were from the same sect, came together, and naturally had to leave together.

"Senior Brother Lin, we’re leaving. If you encounter any difficulties, feel free to come to the Heavenly Spirit Sect to find me."

Looking at Lin Kuang, Ling Xiu’er said with a smile.

On hearing this, Lin Kuang nodded with a smile: "Yes, I certainly will."

"Very well, then we’ll take our leave first."

Ling Xiu’er spoke again.

Guan Tao also clasped his hands toward Lin Kuang, then the four of them left.

Watching them leave, Lin Kuang also departed, returning to the campfire, closing his eyes to rest.

After dawn, Lin Kuang got up, chose a direction, and sped away, leaving the Demons Forest.

After a good four to five hours, Lin Kuang finally walked out of the Demons Forest.

On the outskirts of the Demons Forest was a dirt road, leading who knows where.

After some thought, Lin Kuang proceeded along the dirt road, as he had no particular destination, planning to first find a city inhabited by humans.

After walking for over an hour, Lin Kuang finally reached the official road.

The ground was paved with blue stone slabs, not as smooth as an asphalt road but quite nice.

Ahead on the official road was a city, with a city wall more than two meters high that looked very impressive.

Between the city walls was a wide city gate, over one meter high and about a meter wide.

The city gate was entirely forged of metal, mighty and grand.

Seeing the city gate in front and the sparse crowd on the streets, Lin Kuang couldn’t help but feel excited. Having been on the Xuanwu Continent for eight days, he finally saw a human city.

Following the official road, Lin Kuang arrived in front of the city gate.

Looking up, he saw three large characters written on the gate: Zhenlin City!

"Zhenlin City, it seems to be a city guarding the Demons Forest?

No matter, I’ll find an inn first, take a bath, and change clothes."

Looking at his own tattered clothes, Lin Kuang murmured to himself.

Walking into the city gate, the guards didn’t stop him. After all, this wasn’t wartime; naturally, a Star Ninja could freely enter.

Entering the city, Lin Kuang was like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden, looking around curiously.

The buildings here were completely like ancient architecture, with a fully ancient architectural style surrounding it, without any modern buildings, much less skyscrapers or cars.

"Is this the Xuanwu Continent? It feels pretty good, doesn’t it?"

Looking at the buildings on both sides and the small vendors around, Lin Kuang couldn’t help but mutter to himself.

"I wonder if there are any hotels here, uh, no, here it should be called an inn, right?"

Lin Kuang thought to himself, then began to wander the streets.

As he walked, Lin Kuang arrived at the center of Zhenlin City, his gaze falling on a very luxurious inn.

Seeing this, Lin Kuang strode inside.
