Swordsmanship Coach: Kill with One Slash

Chapter 209: Chapter 151: Refusing Cooperation

"Serve our esteemed guest some tea."

The man in the scroll chuckled.

A cup of tea, composed of musical notes and shimmering with a black light, suddenly materialized before Su Xing.

"..."

Su Xing eyed the object, his brow furrowed. He thought to himself,

’This fellow’s power seems familiar, a bit like the one my uncle demonstrated. Has he lived for a very long time? Or did he also stumble upon some kind of ancient opportunity?’

All sorts of thoughts raced through his mind, and Su Xing remained rooted to the spot, making no unnecessary movements.

But Su Xing simply watched the man in the scroll, revealing none of his inner turmoil. The man, in turn, observed Su Xing with great interest. His hands rested lightly on a zither, which he plucked from time to time as he said with a soft laugh,

"Guest, you’ve just been through a great battle. Aren’t you thirsty?"

"What do you want?"

Su Xing shifted his body, concealing his injured right leg in the shadows so the man wouldn’t immediately notice the changes brought about by the Profound Sword’s automatic repairs.

"Guest, there’s no need for that."

"I am but a humble scholar. Your vigilance is misplaced. Besides, you and I exist in two different worlds; I can pose no threat to you."

"If you have a moment, why not hear me out?"

The man stared intently at Su Xing as he spoke, but his serious expression only heightened Su Xing’s guard. He knew full well that he had just killed a Bishop of the Spiritual Sect.

In that case,

the man before him...

had to be the Spiritual Sect’s last remaining Archbishop.

He didn’t look as Su Xing had imagined, but that didn’t negate the absolute threat he posed.

Su Xing fell silent for a moment. He shifted his right leg and found it still needed a bit more time to heal. He then said softly,

"I’m listening."

"But I suggest you speak more... modernly."

"At my guest’s request, I will do my best to change this little verbal tic of mine."

The man showed no sign of displeasure at Su Xing’s words. He simply picked up the conversation with a smile.

"Before we get to the main point, allow me to ask you a question."

"When you saw me make my move just now, your expression didn’t change, but you made a few subtle movements. It seems you know of the Celestial Human Tomb’s existence."

"..."

Su Xing said nothing. He never would have imagined the man’s perception was so sharp. But naturally, Su Xing wasn’t about to confirm his suspicion.

"The Celestial Human Tomb?"

"What does it matter if I know about it or not? I simply don’t trust you."

"Haha, indeed."

The man suddenly burst out laughing. He stared at Su Xing for a long moment before continuing,

"Su Xing."

"Let’s work together."

"The Spiritual Sect is now destroyed, and the Spirit Lord’s power has not fully recovered. He holds no advantage against the Special Organization’s Sword God. He can no longer carry my dreams and plans."

"But you are different."

"You possess an enviable talent, one that is even acknowledged by the Heavenly Dao itself. Given a little time, you are certain to become a peerless genius capable of suppressing an entire generation."

"If you and I work together, we can definitely...!"

"Stop."

Su Xing suddenly cut him off.

Listening to the man’s flattery, he found it rather amusing. He never expected this guy was actually trying to poach him.

"What’s your name?"

"My name? It’s been hundreds of years since anyone has called me by my name. If you wish to address me, you may call me Lord Yin."

"Lord Yin."

"Why should I work with you?"

"From what I know, a Martial Artist’s cultivation always requires a great deal of resources. I can provide them for you. At the same time, I can offer you a high degree of freedom and continue to help you conceal your identity."

"Sounds good," Su Xing said with a smile.

Indeed, for any other Martial Artist, this might have been an irresistible temptation.

After all, the most pressing problem for a solitary Extraordinary Being was the lack of cultivation resources.

As far as Su Xing knew, the Special Organization also distributed specific cultivation resources to its members each month. It was a special medicinal fluid, originally discovered from the Spiritual Sect, that was then analyzed, researched, and produced to aid Sequencers in their cultivation.

Under these circumstances, it wouldn’t be surprising for a talented but resource-strapped Martial Artist to cooperate with the man before him.

But...

Su Xing had no need for resources.

All his advancements came from Sword Dao Points.

There were many ways to obtain Sword Dao Points:

teaching students,

receiving a blessing from the Spirit Realm,

and... killing people in the Spirit Realm to completely plunder their energy.

Compared to the second method, Su Xing much preferred the third.

Su Xing had always been curious, however, about what exactly this energy absorbed by his system was. This was a perfect opportunity to find out.

"’Good’?"

"That’s just an appetizer."

"If you choose to work with me, the benefits will be endless. Your power will reach unprecedented heights."

"Lord Yin, I’ve always been curious about something."

"What exactly is this ’blessing’ from your Spiritual Sect?"

"Since you want to work with me, telling me something so trivial shouldn’t be a problem, right?"

"Indeed."

"It is indeed a trivial matter. As a show of good faith, I don’t mind telling you now."

"Those ’blessings’ have nothing to do with the Spirit Lord. In truth, they are simply another manifestation of the energy within my own body."

"My cultivation system is quite unique. The energy within my body provides a significant boost to all four major Extraordinary systems, which is why I branded it as a ’blessing’ to recruit followers."
