Swordsmanship Coach: Kill with One Slash

Chapter 158: Chapter 128: Li Daoshen

In the main house of the military compound.

"Lu, what brings you here for a visit?"

"Is something the matter?"

A man with graying hair, yet who looked radiant and full of life,

was dressed in a loose, dark gray shirt and black cloth pants. He led Elder Lu and Li Yu to the main seating area, took the host’s seat, and then gestured to the other chairs with a smile.

"Have a seat. My wife went to the Capital City to see our eldest son today, so it’s just an old man like me here to entertain you. Don’t stand on ceremony."

He then glanced at Li Yu, who was standing nearby, gestured toward him, and added,

"Li Yu, don’t just stand there. Go get some fruit."

"Alright..."

"No, no, Li Daoshen, we’re here to discuss something important. We’ll have to leave right after, so there’s no need for water or fruit."

Before Li Yu could even finish, Elder Lu at his side quickly waved a hand to interrupt him.

If it were any other day, he wouldn’t have thought twice about Li Yu bringing him some fruit.

He was a Tier Five Sequencer, after all. At the end of the day, Li Yu was just a Tier Four junior, so there was nothing wrong with him bringing over some fruit.

But for Li Daofeng to have his son bring him fruit... he found that unbearable. The feeling was incredibly stifling, as if an invisible pressure was bearing down on him.

His heart seized, and the only thought in his mind was to say what he needed to say and leave immediately. Who could even think about eating fruit at a time like this?

"What’s all this ’Sword God’ business? That’s just a hollow title from my youth."

"These days, I’m just a regular old man. My body’s frail, I can’t even hold a blade anymore. How could I possibly be called a ’Sword God’?"

"Besides, all those Martial Madmen from back then are long gone. Nowadays, hardly anyone even recognizes this so-called ’Sword God’."

Li Daoshen waved his hand dismissively and said,

"Just call me Li Longxuan, or Blade. The title ’Sword God’ is rather grating to the ears."

"How could you say that?"

Elder Lu said, puzzled,

"The Sword God is the Sword God. You killed so many Martial Artists and saved so many people. Those are real, tangible honors!"

"There’s nothing grating about it. Those of us who survived hold you in the highest esteem."

Indeed, anyone who had participated in the wars of that era revered Li Daoshen.

With his immense power, Li Daoshen could single-handedly turn the tide of an entire battle!

Countless allies cheered for him,

Countless enemies trembled in fear!

His reputation became so legendary that the mere mention of Li Daoshen’s name on the battlefield would boost the special organization’s morale to unprecedented, unstoppable heights!

Li Longxuan was the most brilliant name of that era. Even after his retirement, countless people within the organization still admired, respected, and revered him.

Hearing Lu Yun’s words, Li Longxuan’s eyes flickered. He looked away and said with a sigh of resignation,

"I’m an old man now. What’s the point in dredging all that up?"

"If you ask me, the nation being stable, the people living in peace, and being able to live out our days safely—that’s a hundred times more important than any ’Sword God’ or ’Fist Venerable’."

"If my wife were here, she’d surely be teasing me again—saying how mighty I used to be, and now look at me, just a doddering old man."

"Enough. I doubt you came all this way just to take a trip down memory lane. If you have something to say, just say it."

Hearing Li Longxuan’s words, the praise Lu Yun had been formulating got caught in his throat like a fishbone. It took him a long moment to swallow it down.

He paused before continuing.

"Since Li Dao... Since Elder Li doesn’t care for such talk, I won’t say any more."

"We came here today to talk to you about the Spiritual Sect, as well as our plans and arrangements moving forward..."

Li Longxuan rested his chin on his right hand, his expression unchanged. He listened intently as Lu Yun recounted all the recent events. Only after Lu Yun had finished did he speak.

"So you’re saying the Spiritual Sect left you a map, and you and Li Yu plan to contact the special organization over there to investigate this location together."

"And you want me to keep an eye on Cang City, to prevent anything unexpected from happening after you leave. Is that right?"

"More or less."

Li Yu nodded and said,

"Also, I’d like to ask you, Father, to request another Tier Five Sequencer to help us. The situation is growing more and more tense, and the special organization’s top-tier strength is stretched thin."

"Keeping an eye on Cang City to prevent the Spiritual Sect from pulling any petty tricks is no problem at all."

"To be honest with you both, I’ve been feeling rather uneasy myself lately. Even if you hadn’t come, I would have been keeping an eye on Cang City."

Li Longxuan glanced at his son, smiled, and said,

"As for a Tier Five Sequencer, that’s the easiest part. I may be old, but I still have plenty of old comrades who are willing to listen to me."

"However, Li Yu, you still need to focus on raising your own level. If you’re always thinking about relying on others, you’ll pay the price for it one day."

"I know, Dad."

Li Yu said, lowering his head. Seeing this, Li Longxuan didn’t press the issue. He knew what kind of person his son was and simply asked calmly,

"When do you plan to leave?"

"In a couple of days."

"There are still some things at the special organization that I need to get in order."

Li Yu’s expression turned serious. He had brought this up with his father merely as a precaution, but to hear that his father was also feeling uneasy... that was as good as telling them that something big was about to happen.
