Swordsmanship Coach: Kill with One Slash

Out of a sense of duty, the teachers sent all the students away. Only a few of the highest-ranking staff remained to meet with the police officers who had come to investigate.

However, they had been unconscious from start to finish. The officers asked them many questions, but they couldn’t answer a single one.

"I have a really bad feeling about this."

Bailan stood beside the large crater on the athletic field. Her heart pounded, THUMP-THUMP-THUMP, as if heralding some earth-shattering event.

No one present argued with Bailan, because the situation was simply too bizarre.

Originally, there had been six of them.

Bailan, Shen Ruyun, Liu Ming, Wang Yu, a fourth-rank member from the special organization, and the fifth-rank expert Li Yu had specifically requested.

But halfway there, they received an urgent message: a Sequencer from the Spiritual Sect had suddenly appeared in a shopping mall and was on a rampage.

Adding to that, they’d received word from Su Yu that the disaster at Cang City High School had apparently been taken care of by a mysterious expert. Upon hearing this, the fifth-rank expert didn’t hesitate for a moment, heading straight for the shopping mall alone.

This series of events gave them all a growing sense of unease.

"Ahem. Alright, let’s not overthink it. We need to deal with the situation here first."

Liu Ming said with a slight cough. His reputation in the special organization was already high, and now that he had reached the fourth rank, his words drew everyone’s attention.

"Have all the students and teachers been evacuated? What’s the situation with public opinion?"

"They’ve been evacuated. As for public opinion, we’re doing our best to control it, but the Spiritual Sect’s move was so aggressive that we probably can’t keep a lid on it."

Bailan nodded. She was the most knowledgeable about this side of the special organization’s affairs.

"Sigh... If we can’t control it, we can’t. Too many people found out this time. But we already announced the return of Spiritual Qi a long time ago, so what’s known is known. We just have to do our best to prevent public panic."

"Yes, I was thinking the same thing."

"So from now on, the special organization will divert some resources from controlling public opinion toward reassuring the public."

Bailan nodded in complete understanding. While she didn’t have a professional background as a detective like Liu Ming, she had been through so much with Li Yu that she had a firm grasp on these matters.

"By the way, where are Su Yu and the others?"

Liu Ming suddenly seemed to remember something and turned to ask Shen Ruyun:

"Didn’t you say you were here with Su Yu and his friends to watch the competition?"

"I did. They should have left already. After all, all the other students have al—"

Before Shen Ruyun could finish her sentence,

a deafening explosion suddenly erupted!

The wave of energy was so intense that even from this distance, it knocked everyone off their feet, unable to even support themselves!

Bailan subconsciously activated her Sequence. A series of screens flashed across her eyes as she looked toward the source of the energy wave.

But her eyes suddenly let out a HISS as a wisp of white smoke rose from them. A look of agony and disbelief flashed across her face.

She couldn’t stop a pained "AHHH!" from escaping her lips.

A trickle of blood flowed from her eye sockets, running down her pale cheeks and dripping onto the ground.

The others cried out in alarm, rushing to ask if she was alright, if she had been blinded. But Bailan didn’t hesitate for a second. She immediately tried to call Li Yu and report the situation.

’It’s really...’

’Something terrible has really happened.’

’Something far worse than she could have ever imagined.’

Even though her vision had gone completely dark, she didn’t spare a thought for her eyes. She hastily pulled out her phone and connected a call to Li Yu.

"There are two eighth-rank experts fighting in Cang City!"
