"What’s the matter? Don’t stop now?" Lin Kuang taunted with a laugh, looking at the two men before him. His frivolous words were laced with an indescribable provocation. "Surely the Shadow Twins have more fight in them than this?"
His words immediately enraged the Shadow Twins. They glared fiercely and attacked with even greater speed, reaching an unprecedented velocity. In an instant, the two appeared before Lin Kuang, striking from the front and rear to prevent him from escaping again.
Seeing this, Lin Kuang simply smiled faintly. He didn’t dodge this time, and his gaze suddenly turned icy. Instantly, the temperature seemed to plummet, and the Shadow Twins distinctly felt a wave of Leng Yi wash over them.
At that moment, Lin Kuang’s counterattack began. He struck out swiftly, throwing a punch toward the younger of the two assassins.
Among the Shadow Twins, the younger was slightly stronger than the elder. Seeing Lin Kuang’s fist flying toward him with a terrifying whistle, the younger twin didn’t dare to be careless. He quickly retreated as his Double Daggers danced wildly, slashing straight for Lin Kuang’s wrists. Simultaneously, the elder twin also made his move, his daggers thrusting straight at Lin Kuang’s back, seeking to finish him in one blow.
Lin Kuang’s expression remained placid, his eyes filled with Endless indifference. In that moment, he was like a Killing God, devoid of any human emotion, exuding a terrifying aura.
Facing their daggers, Lin Kuang swiftly pulled back before slamming his fists directly toward the twins’ shoulders. The powerful strike once again ripped through the air, causing the Shadow Twins’ expressions to change drastically.
Lin Kuang is very strong! This thought echoed in both of their minds.
The next moment, the Shadow Twins attacked again. Pushing their speed to the absolute limit, they narrowly avoided Lin Kuang’s punch. Immediately afterward, they brandished their Double Daggers, four blades of cold light flashing as they aimed for Lin Kuang’s vital points, determined to kill him with a single, decisive blow.
In response, Lin Kuang’s body weaved between them, nimbly dodging their attacks. At the same time, his figure blurred, accelerating until he appeared directly in front of the elder Shadow Twin. He then launched a fierce whip kick aimed straight at the elder’s abdomen. The kick was incredibly fast and perfectly timed; the elder was still moving forward at high speed, making it extremely difficult for him to dodge.
Not good! the elder Shadow Twin cried out in his heart.
Facing such a terrifying kick, he didn’t dare take it head-on, but it was already too late to evade. Gritting his teeth, the man committed to trading injuries, viciously stabbing his Double Daggers toward Lin Kuang’s shin.
Lin Kuang seemed to have anticipated the attack. His rapidly ascending leg suddenly dropped, instantly avoiding the elder’s daggers. Lin Kuang’s foot then viciously connected with the base of the elder’s thigh.
BANG!
The elder Shadow Twin was sent flying by the kick, the overpowering force causing him to crash heavily into a tree behind him. The bowl-thick tree snapped in two from the immense power. The elder’s face turned deathly pale as blood spewed from his mouth. His leg was completely destroyed, the bones within shattered, leaving him with no strength to continue the fight.
Seeing this, the younger of the Shadow Twins immediately saw red. That was his brother. The two had been inseparable since childhood—growing up together, training together, and becoming assassins together. Forged by their strong blood ties, their bond was even tighter than that of most blood brothers. Now, seeing his elder brother crippled by Lin Kuang’s kick, how could he not be consumed by fury?
"You bastard, I’ll kill you!" the younger Shadow Twin snarled with intense rage.
He pushed his speed to the limit, appearing before Lin Kuang like a ghost and radiating a thick killing intent. He raised his daggers high, thrusting them toward Lin Kuang’s neck and chest, desperate to kill him in a single strike.
Lin Kuang watched him with an icy expression. Just as the two daggers were less than an inch from his chest, Lin Kuang moved again. This time, he did not rely on his extreme speed. Instead, he shot his hands out and, at the last possible second, seized the younger Shadow Twin’s wrists.
The moment his wrists were caught, the younger twin froze in shock. To catch his wrists during such a high-speed attack should have been as difficult as reaching for the heavens. Yet the man before him had done it with ease, proving his strength was far greater.
While he was still reeling, Lin Kuang suddenly lifted his right leg, delivering a fierce and domineering knee strike to the younger twin’s abdomen. The younger Shadow Twin was also an expert; feeling the ominous gust of wind from below, he too shot his right knee up, aiming a vicious counter-strike at Lin Kuang’s own knee.
BANG!
Their knees collided fiercely, letting out a dull, sickening thud. The younger Shadow Twin’s face immediately turned ashen. His right leg dangled limply; Lin Kuang had completely shattered his kneecap, rendering the leg useless.
Seeing this, Lin Kuang let out a cold laugh and suddenly exerted force with both hands.
CRACK! CRACK!
With two sharp snaps, Lin Kuang crushed both of the younger twin’s wrists. The man was tough; his body trembled violently and his face turned purple from the agony, yet not a single sound escaped his lips.
"Younger Brother, run!" the elder Shadow Twin suddenly shouted. As he yelled, he shot forward like an arrow, holding his daggers before his head and aiming them straight for Lin Kuang’s back.
Meanwhile, the younger twin proved even more ruthless. With a surge of will, he ripped his hands free from Lin Kuang’s grasp, completely severing his own crushed wrists in the process. The next moment, he pushed off his one good leg with every ounce of strength he had left and slammed his head forcefully into Lin Kuang’s abdomen.
This turn of events was beyond Lin Kuang’s expectations. He hadn’t thought the younger Shadow Twin would be so vicious as to tear apart his own wrists—a pain that could easily drive a person to collapse. And yet, this man had done it without hesitation. His cruelty was absolute. People who are ruthless to themselves are the truly ruthless, and the younger Shadow Twin was exactly that kind of person.
Though startled, Lin Kuang’s expression remained cold, his eyes blazing with a terrifying killing intent. "As expected of the Shadow Twins. A truly ruthless pair."
As he spoke, his figure vanished in an instant, leaving only an afterimage in his place as his speed reached its peak.
