Swordsmanship Coach: Kill with One Slash

Chapter 192: Chapter 142: Death

"Wh-what is this power?"

This was his first thought. His second was much simpler: ’I absolutely cannot let this sword hit me!!!’

In an instant, his speed surged to its absolute limit once more.

He was a fist-fighter, and his control over his body was far superior to that of most Martial Artists. This allowed him to unleash greater resilience and potential than others when pushed to the brink.

Before, his speed was already terrifying—in the eyes of the deceased Vice Bishop Jie, it had been like an astonishing teleportation. Now, going all-out, his speed soared to an unimaginable level.

’I should have dodged this one... Yes, there’s no way he can catch me!’

BOOM!

The man crashed directly into a wall, which shattered like brittle paper on impact. Outside, some residents who had come to see what was happening in the apartment were caught completely off guard and killed instantly by the collision.

The man glanced at them, his expression unchanged as he continued to flee.

To him, he didn’t enjoy killing ordinary people.

Since they weren’t Extraordinary, they were simply too weak. Killing them was as uninteresting as squashing ants.

But that didn’t make him some great philanthropist. If these ordinary people got in his way, he would kill them without a second thought.

Just like now.

The man got his bearings, then dove straight out a window, leaping from a height of a full twelve stories.

The fierce wind lashed his face, making it sting, but a smile of having survived a close call appeared on his lips.

But in the next second, the smile froze on his face.

A terrifying black figure, moving at an absolutely horrific speed, was running down the building’s glass and walls, catching up to him.

That figure...

was Su Xing!

"How is this possible?!"

The man’s eyes flew wide, his face a mask of disbelief.

He had seen too many unbelievable things today. But no matter how much he couldn’t believe it, no matter if he’d ever seen anything like it before, Su Xing, now right beside him, still swung the white sword in his hand.

Overturning the Seas!!!

Empowered by Overturning the Seas, this strike was even faster and more powerful than the first!

In his field of vision, his own extreme speed made the entire world seem to slow down.

Yet it was in this slowed world that he could clearly see Su Xing’s sword thrust forward, instantly shattering and tearing through countless pockets of air and space. The violent shockwave from the explosion blasted out in all directions.

As the sword pierced through the hyper-compressed air, a visible, transparent ripple formed in midair. At the same time, space itself instantly shattered, forming a pitch-black hole that generated an immense suction force.

"Tsk..."

He clicked his tongue, saying nothing more.

The moment the black hole formed, he realized there was no escape. Not only could he not flee, but Su Xing’s Overturning the Seas was already upon him!

BOOM!!!

A terrifying force, like a collapsing mountain or an overturning sea, slammed into him from the white sword. Even the incredibly tough body of a Tier Five Martial Artist could not resist it. Before Su Xing’s blade, it was no different from a sheet of paper as thin as a cicada’s wing.

One strike!

His body was instantly split in two!

Starting from the waist, the upper and lower halves of his body were abruptly severed by Su Xing’s sword, leaving him in two pieces.

However, the life force of a Tier Five Martial Artist was so strong that even being cut in half didn’t kill him instantly.

Boosted by his extreme speed, he could even see with perfect clarity how his own body was being sliced in two, how the blood was spraying from the wound.

The terrifying impact from Overturning the Seas sent the man’s upper body flying. All he could hear was the sound of roaring wind in his ears before it felt like something had grabbed him and slammed him violently onto the ground!

BOOM!!!

A massive explosion erupted!

For hundreds of kilometers around their location, people could feel a violent tremor. If Su Xing hadn’t controlled his power, all nearby buildings would have been utterly annihilated.

"Cough, cough..."

The man coughed weakly, barely able to speak. He had been smashed to the ground by Su Xing and was now nothing more than half a body—a dying man.

’He still has some breath left, even after all that.’

’The life force of a Tier Five Martial Artist is truly astonishing.’

This Tier Five Martial Artist wasn’t like those tenacious Sequencers who rely on the unique properties of their sequence abilities to make themselves difficult to kill. This Martial Artist was different; his life force was just genuinely, incredibly tough.

The black energy radiating from Su Xing slowly retracted, clinging to his skin until it was almost invisible. He walked step by step toward the man’s severed torso.

As for the current Su Xing, he had already shattered his Black Sword and entered the sword-shattering state.

This was different from before, however. When fighting the Spirit Lord’s remnant soul, Su Xing had shattered both the Sparrow Sword and the Black Sword simultaneously, which his physical body could not withstand, resulting in severe injuries.

This time, Su Xing had held back somewhat.

He shattered the Sparrow Sword first, then the Black Sword. By shattering them separately, and by using the Black Sword for only a very short time, he had greatly reduced the strain on his body.

However, no matter how much the strain was reduced, a burden still remained.

Therefore, Su Xing never intended to drag out the fight. From the very beginning, he planned for a swift victory. That was why he had finished his opponent in just two strikes.

"You..."

"You’re definitely not Tier Four..."

"This energy on you... what is it? Wh-why... can’t I sense it?"

"Who... Who in the world are you?!"

Blood trickled down the corner of the man’s mouth. His eyes gradually grew dim as Su Xing’s blurry figure walked steadily toward him.

In his eyes, the current Su Xing was no different from a true monster.

To be so utterly dominated by a Tier Four... it was simply unbelievable. Even in his sect, there were no geniuses like this.

’A pity...’

’I can’t send this information back.’

The energy of the Black Sword gradually faded as a new one materialized in his other hand. Now he held two longswords, one black and one white, a stark contrast.

Obvious fatigue showed on Su Xing’s face, but he was still in far better shape than the dying man before him.

"You said,"

"that I had earned the right to know your name. Unfortunately, you don’t have that privilege."

"Heh heh..."

"I like arrogant experts."

The man’s vision grew increasingly blurry. He suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood and began to laugh maniacally.

Perhaps it was a final burst of life, but his mind suddenly became incredibly clear, and his blurry vision sharpened back to normal.

He looked at Su Xing’s face and suddenly remembered something. His expression changed drastically as he exclaimed in shock:

"It’s you!"

"It’s actually you!"

"Hm?"

’Looks like you know me.’

Suddenly, Su Xing glanced quizzically at the man, who was clearly experiencing a final burst of life, and asked,

"Why do you know me?"

However, there would be no one to answer Su Xing’s question. As he reached the man’s side, he found that the light had completely faded from his eyes. His body went limp, exuding an aura of deathly stillness.

’Dead?’

Su Xing frowned.

This incident had raised far too many questions for him.

’Why did this man know who I am?’

’What is the faction behind him?’

’Why are Martial Artists, who haven’t shown up before, suddenly appearing now because of a mirror?’

’What did he want to do by stealing the Spirit Realm’s mirror?’

’And... what was the Spirit Lord’s real plan in sending Vice Bishop Jie here?’

For all these things, Su Xing had no answers.

He felt the man’s stiffening body and found the mirror was still in his abdomen. It had several new cracks, but it wasn’t completely shattered.

’Whatever. I’ll take this for now. As for the rest, I’ll take it one step at a time.’
