Unrivaled Soldier in the City

Chapter 602, Reappearance 5

Hearing Gongsun Zhan’s words, Lin Kuang’s expression changed drastically, and a murderous intent burst forth from his eyes!

If Gongsun Zhan hadn’t said anything, Lin Kuang would have never known the so-called Left Envoy was capable of such cruelty!

"Hmph! So what?" the Left Envoy said coldly. "Heaven and earth are impartial, treating all of creation as straw dogs! We who practice the Ancient Martial Arts contend with the heavens. Besides heaven and earth themselves, everything else is merely a tool for our cultivation!"

Upon hearing this, the murderous intent in Lin Kuang’s eyes grew stronger, and he wished he could execute the Left Envoy on the spot.

"You’re unfit to be human! Do you even know where that saying originates? It comes from the *Daodejing*. ’Heaven and earth are impartial, treating all of creation as straw dogs. The sage is impartial, treating the people as straw dogs!’ The meaning is that heaven and earth show no special favor or kindness; they allow all things to follow their natural course without intervention, treating all life as equal! The sage shows no special favor or kindness; they allow the people to determine their own destinies without interference, which is also equality for all. And you? Do you really think that in the eyes of heaven and earth, in the eyes of the sages, we are worth less than pigs and dogs? Of course, this is no surprise. The benevolent see benevolence, and the wise see wisdom. A filthy person like you can only conceive of filthy ideas."

Lin Kuang’s words dripped with derision. People like him deserve to be killed. Kill one on sight. If two appear, kill them both. Not a single one of them should be left alive; they’re a plague upon the world! To think you’re superior enough to harm ordinary people—that makes you nothing more than a beast!

Hearing Lin Kuang’s scornful words, the Left Envoy’s face turned uglier, and the murderous intent in his eyes grew even more intense.

"What a sharp-tongued little brat. I didn’t intend to kill you so soon, but now, I’ll send you on your way!" the Left Envoy said, his expression sinister as he prepared to strike.

If the Left Envoy attacked now, Lin Kuang and Gongsun Zhan would undoubtedly die. With their current strength, they were no match for him.

However, at that very moment, something unexpected happened!

"Zuo Fengqiu, to think you can kill someone right under my nose... you are far too presumptuous."

A voice suddenly rang out, and the sound made the Left Envoy’s body tremble violently. Very few people knew his true name, and anyone who did was invariably a powerful figure. The weak had no right to even hear it!

"Who is it? Get out here!" Zuo Fengqiu demanded, his face grim. His murderous gaze intensified as a sense of alarm grew in his heart. Someone had been hiding nearby, and he, with all his strength, hadn’t even noticed. This fact alone put him on high alert.

"Are your eyes blind? Whose fault is it that you can’t see me?"

The voice sounded again, and a figure appeared right beside Lin Kuang.

"D-Diwu Baiyu! You... you... you’re not dead!"

Seeing the man in the white robe standing next to Lin Kuang, Zuo Fengqiu’s face changed dramatically, and his voice began to tremble. This was Diwu Baiyu, an incredibly formidable person. No matter how confident Zuo Fengqiu was, facing Diwu Baiyu, he couldn’t help but feel terrified!

"Of course not. Did you think I’d die so easily? If a little mongrel like you is still alive, how could I possibly die?" Diwu Baiyu spoke calmly, his demeanor making it clear he didn’t even see Zuo Fengqiu as a threat.

Lin Kuang stared blankly at Diwu Baiyu. He had, of course, seen this man before. This was the person who had tossed the Zhantai Jing brothers out of the courtyard back in Yanjing. How could Lin Kuang not recognize him? He had never expected Diwu Baiyu to appear here, and he was completely astonished.

Shocked as he was, Lin Kuang also breathed a sigh of relief. As long as this supreme expert was here, his and Gongsun Zhan’s lives were safe.

"Kid, your explanation just now was very good. Quite impressive," Diwu Baiyu said, patting Lin Kuang on the shoulder with a smile of praise.

Hearing this, Lin Kuang looked slightly embarrassed and quickly replied, "Senior flatters me. I was just speaking my mind."

"Alright, stop being so modest. Let me deal with this guy first." Saying this, Diwu Baiyu turned his gaze upon Zuo Fengqiu.

Zuo Fengqiu’s expression was incredibly ugly. With this terrifying expert standing before him, he simply couldn’t muster the will to fight.

"Zuo Fengqiu, I can’t be bothered to deal with you. Just kill yourself and save me the trouble," Diwu Baiyu said, standing with his hands clasped behind his back, his tone utterly calm.

Hearing this, Zuo Fengqiu nearly passed out from rage. Though he greatly feared Diwu Baiyu, he wasn’t about to commit suicide. Diwu Baiyu was deliberately humiliating him!

"Diwu Baiyu, don’t be so arrogant! After that great battle, you were gravely injured. Even if you survived, your vital energy must have been severely damaged and your strength greatly diminished! I am not afraid of the man you are today. I might even be able to kill you right here!" Zuo Fengqiu declared, speaking as much to bolster his own courage as to threaten his opponent.

"Heh, haha! Zuo Fengqiu, have you gone stupid? When the tiger is away from the mountain, the monkey proclaims himself king. But in my eyes, you don’t even qualify as a monkey. At best, you’re a slightly stronger ant. And you think you can kill me? You truly don’t know your own limits," Diwu Baiyu said, the scorn in his voice unconcealed. The very idea of a mere Left Envoy trying to kill him left him almost speechless.

"Hmph! That was the past. You are not the man you once were, and neither am I. Whether or not I can kill you, we’ll know once we try!" Zuo Fengqiu said, his face grim.

The next moment, a terrifying black energy erupted from his body, radiating a thick, evil aura. The air filled with a Darkness that felt like it came from the depths of hell.

"Is that so? Your strength doesn’t look like much to me. Come on. If you can take a single punch from me, I’ll let you go," Diwu Baiyu said with a smile.

Zuo Fengqiu was infuriated. He was the mighty Left Envoy, a powerful figure in his sect. To be so belittled by Diwu Baiyu was more than he could bear.

"Fine, Diwu Baiyu! You will pay the price for your arrogance!"

With that, Zuo Fengqiu pushed off with his feet, rocketing forward at incredible speed. His velocity was far greater than that of Lin Kuang and Gongsun Zhan; they could barely even track his shadow.

As Zuo Fengqiu charged, he raised his right fist, which was wreathed in sinister black energy, and threw a direct smash at Diwu Baiyu’s head.

Seeing this, Diwu Baiyu’s expression remained perfectly calm, though a hint of displeasure flickered in his eyes.

"I have always detested the evil aura you people carry. Yours is even more repugnant, more wicked than the others!"

As he spoke, Diwu Baiyu’s brows furrowed slightly, and his arm, which did not look particularly muscular, slowly began to rise...
