Swordsmanship Coach: Kill with One Slash

Chapter 188: Chapter 140: Following Closely

’If I can’t leave this maze, then I’ll just have to tear a path out by force!!!’

VMMMM!!!

Terrifying energy coalesced into a monstrous aura, erupting from Su Xing’s body. It spread out, forming an astonishing gale that swept in all directions!!!

A crimson figure suddenly appeared in the empty space before him.

Though the figure was indistinct, he could make out a humanoid shape enveloped in crimson energy, slowly extending the sword in its hand.

A crimson seal appeared on Su Xing’s forehead.

"Break!!!"

Ten Thousand Swords Return to One—Sea Overturn!!!

BOOM!!!

In an instant, the giant white sword—condensed from the air itself—detonated. The explosion created terrifying white shockwaves that surged into the air, transforming into countless smaller swords that spun madly around the main blade!

Wielding the Black Sword, Su Xing followed his Ten Thousand Swords Return to One and shot into the sky! With a single Sea Overturn strike, he pointed it straight at the heavens!

Su Xing’s single strike instantly blew the roof off the organization’s headquarters, revealing the pitch-black sky above.

A thin white light enveloped the entire special organization, fitting over it perfectly like an overturned bowl.

VMMMM!!!

The massive white sword soared into the air, slashing instantly toward the thin membrane of light above!

The next moment!

The two forces collided violently!

...

BOOM!!!

A tremendous explosion rang out!!!

Three rather old men were violently blown away, slamming hard against a distant wall.

One of them was Elder Lu.

These three were part of the group of four Tier Five Sequencers that Li Yu had invited. Each one possessed extraordinary power, yet now they were all being crushed by an utterly terrifying existence.

Behind these three, Li Yu stood frozen in disbelief.

Gone was his usual composure; his face was now a mask of horror and shock, because he recognized who this person was...

It was the mysterious master.

Or rather, a copy of the mysterious master.

Although he didn’t know what method the mysterious master had used to become completely invisible, Li Yu recognized the aura instantly.

Unlike Su Xing, who had been slow on the uptake, Li Yu had been in the organization’s headquarters the whole time. He had reacted with extreme speed, leading his people to find Vice Bishop Jie and engaging him in a fierce battle.

However, the one fighting Li Yu and his group was not Vice Bishop Jie himself, but another copy created by the Array.

Not only that, but he also encountered copies of other Tier Five Sequencers.

The four Tier Five Sequencers Li Yu had brought with him each possessed a unique Sequence and incredible strength. The puppets copied from them had nearly all of their power, making them extremely difficult to deal with.

Fortunately, Li Yu was extremely lucky. He managed to regroup with two of the Tier Five Sequencers early on, and after a bitter fight, they finally eliminated all the copies.

After dealing with the copies, Li Yu happened to run into the third Tier Five Sequencer. He thought they would be able to find the others quickly, break the Array, and kill the mastermind behind it all.

And then...

They ran into a true nightmare.

Around a corner, they encountered a copy. This one was completely transparent and almost impossible to see, but it possessed an unbelievably powerful physical body.

This was the copy of Su Xing—a copy that had activated its "Aura Sword Stance."

It was a true monster.

Its strength, speed, Swordsmanship, and combat experience were all at an unbelievable level.

One of the Sequencers tried to kill the copy with a sneak attack from behind. However, the moment he revealed himself, before he could even react, he was sent flying by the copy.

If he hadn’t reacted quickly enough, used a few tricks to disperse the force, and had a tough physical body to begin with, that single blow would have been enough to kill him outright.

Even so, he was gravely injured.

Of the two remaining, one had a Sequence with a damage-absorbing effect. They wanted to try a bait-and-switch tactic, but he was completely unable to absorb the massive damage from the copy’s attack and was instantly run through with a single sword strike.

Thankfully, his Sequence saved his life.

While it didn’t absorb all the damage, it took the brunt of it. He was sent flying, but ultimately, he survived.

As for Elder Lu, with the other two grievously wounded, he was naturally no better off. He lay on the ground, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, and looked weakly at Li Yu, saying in a strained voice:

"Why is the mysterious master here? Did... did you invite him?"

"No."

"I don’t know either..."

Li Yu said, sounding lost.

’Actually, I have a guess. Based on the previous data, the mysterious master is probably here at the special organization because of Su Yu. His goal is likely to protect him.’

Thinking this, he couldn’t help but grin wryly as a thought crossed his mind:

’So this is how I die.’

’I really didn’t see this coming...’

He watched the mysterious master approach step by step, the last embers of defiance flaring up in his heart.

’Even though our three Tier Five Sequencers combined were defeated in an instant, and there’s nothing a Tier Four like me can do, I’ll be damned if I just stand here and wait to die!’

"...Did you hear that?"

Just then, Elder Lu suddenly looked up and asked, confused.

The question caught the others off guard. They all held their breath, trying to see what was happening.

Li Yu did too. Not only did he hear the sound, but he also noticed that the copy a short distance away had frozen in place.

That sound—

It was like... like... like the ringing of a sword.

The next moment!

BOOM!!!

The sky was torn apart.

The entire world shattered!!!

...

The membrane of white light didn’t last even a second. The instant Su Xing’s sword struck, it shattered into a million pieces!

Countless fragments rained down before completely disintegrating into motes of white light and vanishing.

The moment the Array’s energy enveloping the headquarters dissipated, everything returned to normal, as if sunlight had banished the night.

All the areas that had been destroyed were restored in an instant.

However, there were now corpses on the ground.

They were members of the special organization, mostly the weaker ones or those who were simply unlucky enough to die inside the Array. The majority had managed to survive.

"This..."

"I’m back?"

Such exclamations echoed all around, reaching the ears of Su Yu and Rotten Girl. Their own eyes were filled with disbelief, as if they had seen a ghost.

Su Yu took it slightly better; he had personally witnessed Su Xing kill the Spirit Lord’s projection, so he quickly processed the shock.

But Rotten Girl was stunned, unable to recover for a long while. She stared at the spot where the mysterious master had vanished, her eyes filled with a mixture of shock, disbelief, and suspicion.

’Is that guy... really from the new generation?’

’How can he be so ridiculously strong?’

"Elder Rotten Girl, so you were here."

Li Yu’s voice came through. Beside him stood the three old men, barely on their feet. They looked sheepishly at their old friend, feeling they had lost face.

As for Su Xing, he had long since vanished into the night.

...

「Outside the headquarters.」

A pale-faced man was running frantically through the night. He coughed from time to time, spraying blood onto a mirror he held in his hand.

This was Vice Bishop Jie.

"Damn it..."

Vice Bishop Jie cursed. "Just now... what kind of power was that?"

Blood dripped from the corner of his mouth onto the mirror. Vice Bishop Jie gently wiped it away, revealing a large crack on its surface. A pang of heartache shot through him.

The Array being violently destroyed had not only left him severely injured, but had also completely shattered the Spiritual Treasure gifted to him by the Spirit Lord.

"Damn it... I have to find somewhere safe and recover from these injuries."

The sudden turn of events had left him panicked and frantic. Vice Bishop Jie pushed forward with all his might, completely unaware that behind him...

Su Xing was in close pursuit.
