Chapter 584: The Invincible Trash Talker
Chapter 584: The Invincible Trash Talker
Just as the thought crossed Lin Kuang’s mind, two figures appeared at once. One held a katana, stabbing fiercely at Lin Kuang’s back—it was none other than Miura Ken! The other wielded a longsword, its sharp, cold tip aimed directly at the back of Lin Kuang’s neck. He was an expert sent by Fan Wudao—a member of the Fan Family’s secret forces, Fan Fengxian.
The meeting of these three was no coincidence. Fan Wudao had arranged it in secret; otherwise, how could they have possibly gathered? It was precisely because of Fan Wudao’s orchestration that the three joined forces here to assassinate Lin Kuang. And it was Yin who was responsible for luring him to this spot.
Watching Yin engage Lin Kuang, Miura Ken and Fan Fengxian could clearly see that Yin was no match for their target. Therefore, the two of them dropped their concealment and launched a fatal assault on Lin Kuang!
Faced with three formidable masters, Lin Kuang remained perfectly calm; his heart was completely steady. He had known all along that people were lying in ambush here. The reason he still dared to come was his confidence—confidence that even if he couldn’t defeat his opponents, he had the ability to escape.
In an instant, Lin Kuang pulled Nameless from his waist. His feet moved in the Bagua Willow Catkin Step Technique as he retreated rapidly. Simultaneously, he swept Nameless outwards.
CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!
The grating sound of clashing metal rang out as Lin Kuang’s strike knocked back the weapons of Yin, Miura Ken, and Fan Fengxian.
Now, Lin Kuang stood a full ten meters away from the trio, his golden eyes fixed on them.
"Tsk, tsk. How interesting. You lured me here to kill me, but it seems you haven’t succeeded, have you?" Lin Kuang said with a grin, looking at the three men before him.
Seeing Lin Kuang standing there so calm and composed, the expressions on the faces of Miura Ken, Fan Fengxian, and Yin were incredibly grim.
"Lin Kuang, you deserve to die! But I have to admit, your strength is formidable," Miura Ken said, naturally speaking in the language of the Island Country.
"Speak the language of Hua Country here! I can’t understand that bullshit you’re spouting," Lin Kuang said dismissively, his tone laced with mockery.
Hearing this, Miura Ken’s expression shifted, a murderous intent flashing in his eyes. "Lin Kuang, you are too arrogant!"
As a renowned master from the Island Country, how could Miura Ken possibly obey Lin Kuang’s command? To him, dignity was paramount.
"Stop speaking that bird language to me. I can’t hear it. You with the sword, who are you?" Lin Kuang asked indifferently, turning his gaze to Fan Fengxian.
"Fan Fengxian, of the Fan Family!" Fan Fengxian scoffed, stating his name outright.
"The Fan Family again? That undying old fool Fan Wudao really has a death wish!" Lin Kuang said, clearly annoyed. Fan Wudao had repeatedly sent people to kill him, and it was truly getting on his nerves. If he could, Lin Kuang would have already crippled the man himself.
"Brat, do not insult our Family Head, or you will die a miserable death," Fan Fengxian said, his tone cold and brimming with killing intent.
"If I was going to die, I’d be dead already. It’s just that you people from the Fan Family are too useless. So many of you have come, yet I’m still alive and kicking every single time," Lin Kuang said, shooting a scornful glance at Fan Fengxian.
Fan Fengxian’s face darkened at his words. He was about to retort, but Lin Kuang didn’t give him the chance.
"And you, from the Great Island Nation, what’s your name?" Lin Kuang asked Miura Ken, his tone cold.
"Miura Ken!" Miura Ken replied with a grim expression, once again speaking in the language of the Island Country.
"I already told you, don’t speak that bird language to me. Are you incapable of understanding human speech?" Lin Kuang said with an irritated expression, cleaning out his ear with his pinky.
At this, Miura Ken’s face flushed with anger. He didn’t know if Lin Kuang truly couldn’t understand him, which only infuriated him further.
"You stupid Chinaman! Can’t you understand the language of the great Yamato people? I am Miura Ken. Inoue Kenta and Kubo Takumi were my disciples! You killed them, and now I will kill you to avenge them!" Miura Ken snarled, finally switching to the language of Hua Country, assuming Lin Kuang really couldn’t understand his native tongue.
"Ah, so you’re that bastard Miura Ken. Those two disciples of yours were real trash. Too stupid and far too weak. I used to think they just weren’t trying hard enough, but now that I’ve seen their master, I understand. With a rice bucket like you for a master, it’s only natural your disciples would be weak. I guess you can’t blame them," Lin Kuang said with a laugh, his voice full of amusement.
Hearing Lin Kuang’s words, Miura Ken turned red with rage. The killing intent in his fierce eyes surged, and he looked like he wanted to slice Lin Kuang in half on the spot.
"Damn you! You damned Chinaman! I’m going to slaughter you!" Miura Ken roared furiously.
"Hey, Fan Fengxian, did you hear that? Your pig of a teammate is cursing at you. Aren’t you from Hua Country? He called us ’Chinamen,’ and you’re just going to take that calmly?" Lin Kuang asked with a smirk, glancing at Fan Fengxian.
Hearing that, Fan Fengxian was stunned. He never imagined Lin Kuang would turn the conflict on him. What terrible luck.
"Lin Kuang, stop your nonsense! He was clearly talking about you!" Fan Fengxian yelled back, annoyed.
"Are you an idiot? He called us people from Hua Country ’Chinamen.’ Does that not include you? Or are you from the Island Country too?" Lin Kuang said, looking at Fan Fengxian as if he were a complete moron, his tone dripping with contempt.
Fan Fengxian’s face flushed. He opened his mouth to argue but didn’t know what to say. After all, Lin Kuang had a point.
"Miura Ken, enough of this. Let’s go! We’ll kill him and sort this out later!" Fan Fengxian said, turning to his ally.
Just as Miura Ken was about to nod, Lin Kuang spoke again. "Miura Ken, are you stupid? You’re a man of the Island Country, with *so* much dignity. How can you just follow his orders? If he told you to eat shit, would you actually take a bite?"
At Lin Kuang’s words, Miura Ken, who had been about to attack, froze. His expression turned ugly. If he attacked now, wouldn’t it be an admission that he was inferior to someone from Hua Country? That was absolutely unacceptable!
"You two are idiots! Attack already! How long are you going to stand there jawing with him?" Yin finally snapped, shouting loudly. In the next instant, his figure vanished as he launched an attack on Lin Kuang.
Seeing this, Miura Ken and Fan Fengxian immediately shut up. Yin had already charged. This was no time for bickering. A moment later, they joined Yin, and the three of them attacked Lin Kuang once more.
Lin Kuang felt a little helpless. His attempt to sow discord had failed, but he considered it acceptable. He was certain that, at the very least, cracks had now formed between Miura Ken and Fan Fengxian.
