Swordsmanship Coach: Kill with One Slash

Chapter 145: Chapter 122: One Move

"It’s been... so long... since I’ve smelled fresh blood."

The speaker was a powerfully built man with his eyes shut tight. With his scruffy beard and messy hair, he looked like a blind beggar.

But his physique was a stark contrast to his appearance. He was covered in robust muscle, with veins that pulsed with every breath. In terms of build alone, he was on par with Su Xing.

If Su Xing were standing here,

he would have been intrigued by the aura emanating from these six people.

Their auras were vastly different from those of Sequencers; they were more like Martial Artists, yet not quite like him.

As for how they were different,

Su Xing probably couldn’t have put his finger on it.

The only thing he’d be able to sense was that their auras were muddled and impure.

Like they were unfinished products.

"Fresh blood?"

"Don’t you smell your own blood every day?"

"If I recall correctly, it hasn’t been that long since the Vice Bishop’s last experiment on you. Are you already spouting nonsense?"

A long-haired woman with a deathly pale complexion revealed a cold smile.

This abandoned military base was, in fact, Vice Bishop Jie’s private research institute. It was also a prison—one built specifically to contain research subjects like them.

Some of the research subjects here were ordinary people who had been forcibly captured. Such individuals rarely managed to become Extraordinary; they would usually die after just a few sessions of torment.

Others, like them, were talented individuals who had been unable to find their path. For the sake of power, they had voluntarily traded their freedom to the Vice Bishop, willingly becoming his research subjects.

In exchange, they received a massive influx of resources from Vice Bishop Jie. Through one experiment after another, they finally found the path to becoming Martial Artists and obtained incredible power.

And the six of them were the most talented, the strongest. Every single one was a Tier Four Peak Martial Artist, their strength both powerful and Extraordinary.

Of course,

Vice Bishop Jie didn’t trust them completely. The strength of a Tier Four Peak Martial Artist was formidable, approaching that of a Tier Five. If they decided to act up, it would be an incredibly troublesome matter.

Therefore, to better study and control them, Vice Bishop Jie had implanted lethal micro-bombs in their bodies.

It was a classic carrot-and-stick approach.

The micro-bombs in their bodies earned them the Vice Bishop’s trust, affording them completely different treatment from the other research subjects.

Although they still lived in cells and had to undergo the Vice Bishop’s human experimentation, he never made unreasonable demands of them. He even promised to grant them their freedom if their strength ever reached Tier Five Peak.

The only condition was,

that all six of them had to be obedient.

To test their obedience, he would often send them on various missions.

These missions varied in difficulty, but all were highly covert. They had never been exposed to the public, let alone all six of them appearing in the public eye at once.

After all, ordinary people stood no chance against their combined strength. Even with the micro-bombs, one wrong move could lead to a massive disaster.

"Alright, you two. We’ve only just been let out and you’re already at each other’s throats. That’s no way to build camaraderie."

The one who spoke was a bald man. His body was a mass of bulging muscle, giving him a ferocious appearance that was completely at odds with his peacemaking tone.

He added:

"Instead of arguing here."

"We should be thinking about why all six of us were suddenly released. Are we being sent on some important mission?"

"So what?"

"If we’re all deployed together, is there anything that can possibly stop us?"

The lazy voice belonged to another woman. She had a very slender figure; at a glance, you would never guess she was trained in martial arts.

She wasn’t the least bit nervous.

She was, after all, well aware of just how powerful their group was.

As long as they acted together,

there was almost no one who could stop them.

Six Tier Four Peak Martial Artists... Even a Tier Five Sequencer, if ganged up on by all six of them, would easily find themselves trapped and beaten to death.

The special organizations had plenty of high-tier Sequencers, but they wouldn’t be deployed lightly. They knew this very well, so there was nothing to worry about.

There was no need to worry about Sequencers,

and even less about other Martial Artists.

Publicly, there were no other Martial Artists besides that mysterious master. According to the Spiritual Sect’s intelligence, that master was only at the Tier Four realm. They, on the other hand, had six at Tier Four Peak. He wasn’t even worth a second thought.

This meant that unless the special organizations were willing to dispatch a Tier Five Peak or Tier Six Sequencer, it would be almost impossible to capture all of them. This was why they were Vice Bishop Jie’s ultimate trump card.

A trump card...

that Vice Bishop Jie had kept hidden for a very, very long time.

Even within the Spiritual Sect itself, few knew of their existence, to say nothing of the special organizations. They had no idea the Spiritual Sect even had Martial Artists at its disposal.

But now,

it was finally time for them to be revealed.

The others nodded in agreement at the woman’s words. Each of them was filled with absolute confidence, never imagining what a terrifying enemy they would encounter upon leaving their prison.

That kind of strength...
