Swordsmanship Coach: Kill with One Slash

At this thought, He shook His head. His many years of life experience had taught Him a simple truth: if you can’t figure something out, don’t dwell on it. All that thinking only brings more worry.

So, He glanced at the Bishop, still kneeling on the floor, and asked,

"Has anything happened recently?"

"Indeed, a few things have happened."

The Bishop recounted the recent events to Him. However, the incident with Su Xing at Cang City High School had happened too recently, and the Bishop hadn’t received news of it yet, so he didn’t mention it.

As he was finishing his report, the Bishop suddenly added,

"My Lord, the Spirit Realm’s anchor point is about to manifest."

"However, My Lord, you have not yet fully recovered. I was worried there might be complications, so I had Vice Bishop Jie arrange for manpower to draw away those from the special organization. There shouldn’t be any mishaps this time."

"Once My Lord has completely recovered, we can use this anchor point to make the Spirit Realm descend upon the mortal world. At that time..."

"Vice Bishop Jie?"

Hearing those words, He suddenly froze. A memory seemed to be trying to surface, but for some reason, it remained just out of reach. This made His brow furrow slightly, and a hint of displeasure entered His voice as He said grimly,

"Inform Jie. Tell him to come see me in the Spirit Realm."

After speaking, He turned to return to His room. But just as He took a step with His right foot, His entire body froze abruptly, as if time had stopped. His right foot hung suspended in the air, motionless. Suddenly, a voice, tinged with amusement, sounded out:

"Are you sure the special organization hasn’t noticed the anchor point?"

"I’m sure of it. I’ve been monitoring that fellow Jie’s movements. He sent two subordinates to stir up trouble using a Blessing, while his real body went elsewhere to cause more problems. This time, the special organization simply doesn’t have the capacity to stop the anchor point’s descent. They’re completely short-staffed."

"Sigh. You people still underestimate your opponents."

THUD.

His right foot landed on the ground. He turned His head to look in a certain direction. There was nothing there, but it was as if He could see a white-haired man, holding a long saber, meeting His gaze.

The gazes of the two men,

collided across space.

「Outside the Spirit Realm.」

In the wilderness outside Cang City.

Li Longxuan stood all alone, his eyes slightly narrowed. He wore a gentle, benevolent smile, looking just like an ordinary old man out for a relaxing, leisurely stroll.

Of course, if you saw what he was holding, you would think otherwise.

It was a saber that emanated a cold gleam. Its tip rested lightly on the ground, yet it seemed as if that cold light had pierced straight through the earth.

Li Longxuan stood quietly in place. From a distance, one could see five or six more sabers of the same design behind him, their sharpness almost painful to look at.

These were weapons personally forged for him by the special organization, and also the ones best suited for his Sequence’s combat style.

Blade, Li Longxuan.

He was a true genius of the previous generation,

possessing two Sequences: [Sword Saint] and [Metal].

[Sword Saint: Mastery of various lethal martial arts, combat techniques, and Swordsmanship. Reduces pain by 99% in combat. The more grievous the injuries sustained, the stronger one’s physical capabilities become. In a near-death state, all attributes can be multiplied by up to ten times.]

[Metal: Control all metals at will.]

Neither of these two Sequences was ranked very high; one was in the teens, while the other was ranked beyond the top forty.

Compared to Su Yu’s [Judgment], Li Yu’s [Shadow], and Liu Chang’s [Spatial Ghost], the ranks of [Sword Saint] and [Metal] alone couldn’t compare at all.

But [Sword Saint] and [Metal] were a perfect match, creating a synergy where one plus one was far greater than three.

Combined with Li Longxuan’s terrifying combat instincts, he became the special organization’s most formidable killing machine, as well as the Sword God, Li Longxuan, in the eyes and hearts of countless people.

"I’ve killed plenty of Martial Artist Sequencers in my time. Most of my life has passed, but I’ve never actually killed a Qi Cultivator. How about you come out and play?"

"Provoking me?"

As the voice fell, a purple-haired man stepped directly out of the void.

Only because of the nearly-formed anchor point here was He able to leave the Spirit Realm in a single step. Otherwise, it would have required more effort.

He left the Spirit Realm in a single step and landed outside. He sniffed the air, sneered, and said,

"What a powerful man. Seeing as your cultivation was not easily achieved, if you submit to my Spiritual Sect, I shall spare your life."

"Make your move."

Li Longxuan slowly raised the saber in his hand, aiming it at Him, unwilling to waste another word.

As the saber was pointed at Him, He felt the hair on His body stand on end. His eyes narrowed, and He said softly,

"Since you insist on preventing the Spirit Realm’s anchor point from being planted, which is to say, you are preventing the Spirit Sect from returning to the mortal world, then I have no choice... but to ask you to die!"

"You ancients, are you all this long-winded?"

...

「Cang City High School.」

The area was now cordoned off with red tape, and police officers were spread throughout Cang City High School.

They were all here collecting information and evidence to assist the members of the special organization with their investigation and resolution of the incident.

As for the special organization, five of their members had come this time. They now stood on the athletic field, gazing at the wreckage in utter shock.

’This mysterious expert... is way too ruthless.’

Not long after Su Xing and the others left, the students and teachers here all began to wake up.

They had no idea what had just happened, but the scene before their eyes gave them all a terrible shock.
