Swordsmanship Coach: Kill with One Slash

Chapter 131: Chapter 116: The Fine

The Sword Hall.

Su Xing stood in the doorway, watching Li Yu from afar.

In the distance, Li Yu looked as if he’d just received urgent news. He yanked open his car door, jumped in, and immediately slammed the pedal to the metal, speeding off in one direction.

DING!

The clear chime of a text message alert suddenly rang out. Su Xing glanced over; the sound had come from Su Yu and Shen Ruyun, who were standing to the side.

The two exchanged a look. Shen Ruyun cautiously moved to a corner before taking out her phone to check it. Su Yu, however, was far more casual. He simply stood where he was, pulled out his phone, and glanced at it. Immediately, his expression changed drastically.

His brow furrowed as he quickly scanned the message from the Organization with a grave expression.

A moment later, his voice, laced with urgency, echoed in Su Xing’s mind:

"Brother, Shen Ruyun and I have to get back to the Organization’s headquarters immediately. It looks like something’s happened."

’Hmm?’

’What happened?’

Su Xing’s eyes narrowed. The image of Li Yu speeding away flashed through his mind, and he began to connect the dots.

Just then, Shen Ruyun ran to the doorway in a fluster. It was only when she got there that she realized Su Xing had been standing just outside, staring into the distance.

She said hurriedly:

"Brother Su, Su Yu and I have something to take care of. We have to head out."

Su Xing knew what they were going to do. Without any hesitation, he stepped aside to clear a path for them and said:

"Summer vacation is almost over. You should definitely go out and have some fun. Just remember to be back early tonight, and stay safe."

"Okay, we will. You stay safe too, Brother Su."

Shen Ruyun seemed a little surprised, but the situation was too urgent for her to dwell on it. After her quick reply, she grabbed Su Yu and ran out of the Sword Hall, then hailed a car.

Somehow, the pair managed to convince the ride-share driver, because the roar of the engine suddenly erupted, followed by the violent screech of tires against the pavement.

The ride-share, which had been parked a short distance from the Sword Hall, suddenly peeled out, speeding toward the Organization’s headquarters.

Outside the Sword Hall, at an intersection not far away, the traffic light glowed a fierce red. But the car, clearly speeding, blew right through it in an instant.

Clearly, something major was happening. Su Yu and Shen Ruyun had no time to worry about trivial details like traffic laws; they had to get to the location of the incident as fast as possible.

As for the consequences of making an ordinary driver run a red light, that wasn’t their concern. Specialized personnel would naturally handle the cleanup afterward.

Su Xing stood at the entrance of the Sword Hall, watching as the car disappeared at the end of the road.

Su Yu’s voice was still echoing in his mind. From their brief telepathic conversation, he had grasped the gist of what had happened at the Organization’s headquarters. To put it simply, the building was under attack by the Spiritual Sect.

The Spiritual Sect’s second attack had arrived.

The attack had come without warning. The Organization had never predicted the Spiritual Sect would launch a surprise assault, which was why they’d issued an emergency recall. The vast majority of their Sequences were ordered back to headquarters to deal with the sudden raid, and Su Yu and Shen Ruyun were among them.

Su Xing frowned, thinking to himself:

’The Spiritual Sect... They can still launch a second attack? Where are they even getting the cannon fodder?’

’Attacking the headquarters sounds impressive, but it’s really just sending cannon fodder to their deaths.’

’Those in the Spiritual Sect who truly hold power would never do such a dangerous thing.’

’Instead, it would be those with some power but who their superiors were unwilling to protect. To survive, people like that might risk everything to attack the headquarters, just like that last wave of Priests.’

’But...’

’The Spiritual Sect’s situation now is completely different from the Priests’ back then, isn’t it?’

’Back then, the Organization had locked onto the Priests’ locations. It was only a matter of time before they were all wiped out. That’s why they banded together in a desperate, do-or-die attempt to strike a heavy blow against the Organization.’

’But now, the Organization knows very little about the current Spiritual Sect. The death of the Angry Vice Bishop didn’t reveal any significant information, so the Organization hasn’t learned anything new. Their intelligence is still stuck at the High Priest level. They know next to nothing about how many Vice Bishops there are, what their powers or Sequences are, or where they’re hiding.’

’Let alone the ranks above them.’

’Information is a crucial part of warfare, and the Organization’s lack of intelligence on the Spiritual Sect has always been a massive headache for them.’

’Logically, the Spiritual Sect is still hiding well in the shadows, so why would they suddenly launch a desperate counterattack against the Organization? The behavior is bizarre, a jarring contradiction.’

’Unless... they have some other goal.’

But what that goal might be, Su Xing couldn’t guess. At the very least, he would have to go to the scene and see for himself.

With that thought, Su Xing stretched his limbs, and a series of CRACKS and POPS echoed from his body. He strode out of the Sword Hall and came to a stop beneath a large tree in front of the building.

The midday sun made the tree cast a long shadow. Su Xing, dressed all in black, stood within that shade, the two of them seemingly merging into one.

His eyes were fixed on a point in the distance. He took a light step forward with his right foot. The next moment, a snowy afterimage appeared on the ground where he stood, and his body vanished into the shadows.

Su Xing had already used his newly mastered ability, "Drifting Snow," and was now racing toward the Organization’s headquarters at an incredible, extreme speed.
