Swordsmanship Coach: Kill with One Slash

Chapter 151: Chapter 124: It’s Time to End This (Part 2)

Su Xing was surprised. He never would have thought that Vice Bishop Jie was conducting human experiments here.

This immediately reminded him of his battle with those High Priests. They had said they were acting on a Vice Bishop’s orders to capture Lu Anning. ’Could this be the one?’

Su Xing’s eyes narrowed at the thought.

"Yes, we are his research subjects."

The woman called "Number Two" nodded. She glanced at Su Xing and continued,

"But we were all captured and brought here. If we didn’t have some talent, we would’ve died long ago. Please, I’m begging you, let me live."

Number Two was smart.

She realized that if Su Xing was asking these questions, he couldn’t be the type to kill the innocent wantonly.

So, while she told the truth, she concealed the fact that her group had willingly traded their freedom for power. She deliberately painted a more miserable picture, claiming they had been captured by the Spiritual Sect, hoping to appeal to Su Xing’s compassion.

"So that’s how it is."

Su Xing glanced around the abandoned military base. He didn’t answer her plea to be spared and instead asked,

"This prison uniform you’re wearing... was it also developed by that Vice Bishop?"

"Yes, this is also one of Vice Bishop Jie’s creations."

Although Su Xing hadn’t given her a clear answer, she didn’t dare press the issue. She could only nod obediently.

After these successive battles, Su Xing had come to realize that Vice Bishop Jie was indeed a tricky opponent.

It wasn’t his strength that made him tricky, but his ability to develop a whole host of tools and weapons that even ordinary people could use. Su Xing couldn’t help but be somewhat impressed.

While they were useless to Su Xing himself,

they would be a great help to his younger brother and disciples, whose strength was still lacking.

The prison uniforms worn by these Martial Artists were especially valuable. They weren’t pretty, but with a few modifications, his younger brother and disciples could wear them. At a critical moment, they could save their lives.

Unfortunately,

the other five uniforms had been shredded by Su Xing’s attacks and were completely useless.

Even if he took the uniform from Number Two, that was only one piece. Besides, it was a women’s style; other than Lu Anning, it wouldn’t be suitable for anyone else.

’If I give this to the special organization, I wonder if they can replicate a similar combat suit.’

The thought suddenly crossed Su Xing’s mind. He pointed to the corpses nearby and said,

"Strip the uniforms off all these bodies."

These bodies,

of course, referred to the five who had died.

If the special organization was going to study them, even the ruined uniforms should be fine. He just needed Su Yu to find an excuse to turn them in.

If the special organization actually managed to develop something, Su Xing could naturally snag a few for himself through his connection with Su Yu.

If they couldn’t develop anything from them,

then the uniform on Number Two would be his only prize so far. Naturally, he’d have to keep it for his own people.

If he managed to get more of these uniforms the next time he fought the Spiritual Sect, he would only consider having Su Yu hand over an intact one to the organization after Su Yu and his two disciples each had one.

"Ah..."

Number Two froze for a moment. At the end of the day, she was still a woman, and the thought of stripping corpses made her reluctant. But she didn’t dare let her hesitation show on her face and could only say slowly,

"Y-Yes."

Before long, Number Two had stripped off all the uniforms and handed them to Su Xing. Holding the pile of reeking clothes, Su Xing frowned and asked,

"Other than the six of you, were there any other Martial Artists?"

Number Two happened to see Su Xing frown. Her heart clenched, but then a wave of joyful relief washed over her.

’Thank goodness...’

’It seems Su Xing isn’t interested in killing me.’

In reality, it wasn’t a lack of interest. He just hadn’t finished asking his questions. Anyone who had seen him couldn’t be allowed to escape. He had never considered letting her go.

"There were only the six of us. The other Martial Artists were taken away by Vice Bishop Jie for his research."

"Taken away?"

Su Xing was taken aback for a moment.

It made him wonder if his opponent had already guessed someone would be coming.

He shook his head hard, shaking off the stray thought.

Right now, the most important thing was to find the source of the Curse Armor, then cripple him—beat him so badly he could never use his Sequence again.

Otherwise,

once he left his "Sword Shatter" state, he would fall back into that hallucination.

And he had no desire to experience that again.

"To be honest... I don’t know where Curse is. But I’m certain he’s somewhere in this facility."

After Number Two spoke, she realized how useless her statement sounded. She quickly took out a map, handed it to Su Xing, and said,

"This is a map of the facility."

"There are four routes to the deepest part of the facility. Curse is likely in there. But all four entrances have incredibly sturdy gates that the six of us couldn’t open... Of course, for you, it should be no problem."

Su Xing glanced at the map, then looked up at Number Two. He nodded and said,

"Okay, go hide somewhere."

"If I find out you’ve run away, I’ll kill you."

"D-Don’t worry!"

Number Two seemed to think Su Xing was letting her live and immediately turned to leave. But the moment she turned, a flash of light from his sword sliced through her head.

She didn’t even have time to register what had happened before her head flew from her shoulders and slammed into the wall. It burst like a cracked watermelon, splattering crimson as a torrent of blood slid down the concrete.

Su Xing watched with cold eyes. He wasn’t one to kill the innocent, but he would never show mercy to his enemies.

Su Xing didn’t trust Number Two. She might have acted meek and obedient, but who knew what she would do once she was free?

’Killing her was simply the most convenient option.’

However, to preserve her uniform, Su Xing had deliberately aimed for the head, ensuring the clothes weren’t damaged in the slightest.

He walked over to Number Two’s body, stripped the uniform off her, glanced at her pale, naked form, and then turned to leave.

...

BOOM!!!

Su Xing slashed his sword against the massive gate. The ferocious power made the entire underground facility tremble. Chunks of rock shattered and dust rained down from the ceiling.

This was a full-power strike from Su Xing, without using any special techniques. A blow like this could instantly kill a Tier Four Peak Martial Artist, yet it had little effect on the gate.

A gash appeared on the gate, but there was no sign of it breaking.

Su Xing frowned. In all his years of practicing with the sword, he had never encountered a gate so durable.

’Number Two wasn’t exaggerating. No wonder they couldn’t break through a gate like this.’

In terms of sheer durability,

...even an average Tier Five expert probably wasn’t as tough as this door.

’In that case... I suppose it’s time to try my full strength.’

A sharp glint flashed in Su Xing’s eyes. He gripped the hilt of the Black Sword tightly as a pale white aura suddenly enveloped the entire blade.

VMMMM!

Sword Qi Stance!

Su Xing held his sword vertically at his side, assuming the Overturning Sea stance. At the same time, he retreated dozens of steps, his footwork becoming the Drifting Snow Steps.

In a single instant!

Su Xing was back before the gate again, but this time he was imbued with the terrifying force generated by his incredible speed!

Sword Qi Stance + Overturning Sea + Drifting Snow + Sword Shatter!

This was Su Xing’s most powerful strike to date!

VMMMM!

A terrifying power, comparable to the blast from a massive missile barrage, erupted!

The gate, constructed from special materials and reinforced by layer upon layer of Sequence energy, still couldn’t withstand the force of the blow!

Under the force of this single strike!

The countless layers of Sequence energy shattered instantly. The gate twisted and buckled, then blew apart with a deafening roar!

A violent shockwave kicked up clouds of dust that billowed in every direction. The floor of the entire facility sank, and the ground became a web of terrifying, dense cracks.

Through the roiling dust,

Su Xing slowly emerged.

A massive, gaping hole had been torn through the once-indestructible gate.

Su Xing gazed at the scene beyond the gate. He could feel the purple thread leading straight ahead, and thought to himself,

’It’s almost... time to end this.’
