Swordsmanship Coach: Kill with One Slash

Chapter 183: Chapter 138: Premonition of Crisis

When he saw Su Xing, his first reaction was surprise. His jaw dropped slightly as he asked in astonishment:

"Bro, why are you here so early?"

Su Yu, dressed in casual clothes, appeared before Su Xing. Su Xing cut right to the chase:

"What’s wrong?"

"Are we about to be attacked again?"

"Hmm... not necessarily. It’s just speculation from the higher-ups."

"We have intel on Vice Bishop Jie and recently discovered that he’s still communicating with the Spirit Realm."

"We don’t know what was said, but he didn’t enter the Spirit Realm after their talk. This could mean he’s been cast aside, or it could mean he has other plans."

"Considering Vice Bishop Jie’s current situation, he’s very likely to resort to extreme measures. We have to guard against a sneak attack on the special organization, especially while it’s in a weakened state."

"Weakened? What do you mean?"

Su Xing knew a few things. Ever since the fall of the Spirit Realm, Li Daoshen had reemerged, which in turn had drawn out many of the special organization’s old guard.

Logically speaking,

the special organization should have countless experts at its disposal right now.

"Because of the Spirit Realm’s location."

"To guard against any changes with the Spirit Realm, the special organization transferred a large number of personnel back to the north. There are very few Sequencers left in the south now."

"However, Senior Li Yu is still in the south. He was worried that with so many high-tier Sequencers heading north, the southern branch would be vulnerable, so he took precautions and stationed four members of the Tier Five Sequence here."

"Four?!"

Su Xing exclaimed in surprise.

He knew the organization had plenty of experts now, but he never expected there to be that many!

Based on what his little brother was saying,

most of the Sequencers had already returned north, yet they could still spare four members of the Tier Five Sequence to guard the south. That meant there had to be far more than just four members of the Tier Five Sequence in total—perhaps a great deal more.

After all,

the Spirit Realm only had two Vice Bishops.

Su Xing was suddenly reminded of a favorite phrase his teachers used back in school: "You’re the worst class I’ve ever taught!" Looking at the situation now, it seemed the same was true for the special organization.

This generation of Sequencers,

was worlds apart from the last.

"With the strength of four members of the Tier Five Sequence, things should be well under control, right? Vice Bishop Jie is only at the Tier Five level."

"That’s true..."

"It’s four against one, and with the organization’s encirclement constantly tightening, it’s only a matter of time before Vice Bishop Jie is dealt with. But I still feel uneasy."

"It’s just a strange intuition."

Su Yu’s voice trailed off, growing quieter and more somber. He knew his words didn’t sound very credible, but Su Xing believed him without hesitation.

It wasn’t just because this was his brother; Su Xing knew very well that such a sudden, strong intuition always had a reason behind it.

The more powerful an Extraordinary Being,

the more accurate their intuition.

Although Su Yu wasn’t that powerful yet, there was no harm in being extra cautious.

So Su Xing asked, "Then what can I do?"

"Bro, can you stay near the building for a few days?"

"Alright."

Su Xing nodded in agreement.

He also wanted to kill Vice Bishop Jie. Now that he couldn’t enter the Spirit Realm, the Vice Bishop was his last remaining source of system energy.

As for his classes,

weren’t there online options?

He could take a few days off and teach his students online. It wouldn’t be a big deal. He’d just be teaching from a different location, that’s all.

He chatted with Su Yu for a while longer. He realized that aside from his strong premonition, his little brother’s knowledge of Vice Bishop Jie wasn’t necessarily better than his own. Su Xing, after all, had broken into the Vice Bishop’s research base, while Su Yu’s information was all secondhand.

However,

the special organization seemed to have discovered something.

Vice Bishop Jie had apparently obtained some new ability from the Spirit Realm. As for what it was or what it did, the special organization was completely in the dark.

Perhaps that was why Su Yu had such a strong sense of impending crisis.

After a brief chat,

Su Xing said goodbye to Su Yu and found a small hotel nearby. After briefing Lu Anning and Xiao Yu and communicating with his students, he finally lay down on the bed to rest.

He didn’t start his sword practice.

The room in a small hotel like this was too cramped.

With his current physical prowess, if he were to really practice his swordsmanship, he’d probably end up demolishing the entire hotel.

So, he simply lay on the bed, ordered some takeout, and decided to get some proper rest to build up his strength.

「Two days passed.」

Every day around seven in the evening, right after Su Xing had finished dinner, Su Yu would drop by to chat and update him on the day’s events.

"Hm?"

’It’s already eight o’clock. Why isn’t Su Yu here yet? He’s not even replying to my texts...’

Su Xing muttered to himself, finding it strange.

At first, Su Xing figured his little brother had just been held up by something, which was normal. But an hour went by, and he hadn’t even replied to a single message. That was definitely not normal.

Knowing his brother’s personality, he wouldn’t go an hour without checking his phone, no matter how busy he was.

But...

Su Xing’s gaze shifted to the window. Shrouded in darkness, the organization’s headquarters looked quiet and peaceful. There wasn’t the slightest sign of movement.

’Wait a second...’

’How could there be no movement at all?!’

Su Xing suddenly realized something was wrong, his brow furrowing sharply. The organization’s headquarters had patrols around the clock. As long as people were on duty, it was impossible for someone with his heightened senses not to hear a sound.

But now,

it was far too quiet.

There was no sound from the organization’s headquarters, no sound from the small hotel he was in, and the streets and alleys outside were unbelievably still. It was as if all sound had vanished from the world.
