Swordsmanship Coach: Kill with One Slash

Chapter 217: Chapter 155: Trouble Arrives

"Attitude?"

Su Yu asked.

"Indeed. Your brother is right."

His uncle, who was standing nearby, suddenly spoke up.

"Whether this fight happens or not doesn’t really have much to do with what we think. It mainly depends on those in power and how they decide to define this conflict."

"It’s very possible that while we’re here overthinking it, the special organization has already decided to go to war with the Martial God Hall no matter what."

"..."

"Indeed."

Su Yu said after a moment of silence.

Just then,

a text message suddenly popped up on the phone issued to him by the organization.

Speak of the devil.

The message was a summons from the special organization for a meeting, and it specifically emphasized that this meeting would decide whether or not to declare war on the Martial God Hall.

Su Yu and his uncle exchanged a look.

On the other end of the line, Su Xing heard the silence and immediately realized something. He asked,

"Did you get a message from the special organization?"

"What did it say?"

"It’s calling us to a meeting. To discuss whether or not to start this fight."

Su Yu’s voice drifted over the line.

"I see..."

"Yu, you should go and see what’s what. If necessary, you can tell the special organization that the mysterious expert has the mirror. See how they react."

"Alright."

"Bro, if you need to find Uncle, you can come to our old house. No one has lived here for a long time, so it should be well-hidden and safe."

"As for Lu Anning and Xiao Yu..."

"Once the situation stabilizes, I’ll have them come to this house too."

"Got it."

With that, Su Xing hung up the phone.

He returned to the training hall, pulled up a chair, and sat down. His eyes were slightly closed, as if lost in thought, or perhaps waiting for someone.

THUMP... THUMP...

The sound of thick-soled shoes on the wooden floor reached Su Xing’s ears.

He snapped his eyes open,

his dark pupils fixed on the Sword Hall’s main entrance not far away.

Sure enough,

the Sword Hall’s main door, which Su Xing had closed, suddenly shattered. A man had kicked the entire door in, blasting it into countless sharp wooden splinters that scattered across the hall.

One of the wooden fragments shot straight at Su Xing, but he dodged it with a simple tilt of his head.

His movements were fluid and effortless, leaving him completely unscathed.

"Hm?"

The man grunted in surprise.

His brawny figure was striking in the sunlight. He didn’t look old—a bit younger than Cao Qing, thirty-something at most.

However, the undisguised Martial Artist aura he exuded was still enough for Su Xing to determine his realm.

Tier Five Peak.

’Not strong,’

’in fact, compared to my current speed,’

’he’s incredibly weak.’

But it was enough to identify him as someone from the Martial God Hall. After all, besides Su Xing himself, the only place likely to have Martial Artists who had reached Tier Five Peak was the Martial God Hall.

What a coincidence.

Su Xing had just gotten news from Su Yu, and now the Martial God Hall had sent someone to find him.

This made Su Xing’s eyes narrow slightly.

He was curious to see what kind of game this guy was trying to play.

"Su Xing?"

"Why are you the only one in the Sword Hall?"

The man seemed to be holding something like a phone. He glanced at Su Xing, then looked down at the device, and after confirming that the person in front of him was indeed Su Xing, he finally asked his question.

’According to the intelligence report, although Su Xing’s brother, Su Yu, was often away from the Sword Hall, his two closest apprentices, Lu Anning and Xiao Yu, were usually here practicing their swordsmanship.’

’But things weren’t adding up.’

’This could only mean that Su Xing had also heard that the Martial God Hall issued a challenge to the special organization and had sent his two apprentices away to safety.’

"And you are?"

Su Xing asked, feigning ignorance.

’Since I’m not in a combat state, this man naturally can’t tell that I’m the mysterious expert. I can use this to my advantage and see what the Martial God Hall is really up to.’

"Have you seen these two people?"

The man didn’t answer Su Xing. Instead, he pulled up two photos on his phone and showed them to him, asking his question.

On the screen,

one picture was of Cao Qing,

and the other was a photo of the mysterious expert—Su Xing himself—shrouded in darkness.

A flash of annoyance rose in Su Xing’s heart.

’I don’t know when the Martial God Hall took this picture, but the fact that I didn’t even notice... it’s disgusting.’

What was even more disgusting...

was that after he’d killed Cao Qing,

the people from the Martial God Hall had indeed come looking for him.

It was easy to deduce that the one who killed Cao Qing was the mysterious expert. And given Su Xing’s own displays of power, it was also easy to deduce that Su Xing’s group had some connection to this expert.

So for them to come looking,

was simply a matter of course.

In other words, the fact that the Martial God Hall had only come for him now had once made Su Xing suspect that Cao Qing wasn’t highly regarded within the Hall, and that the mirror wasn’t actually that important.

Now,

the people from the Martial God Hall had arrived,

which meant the mirror truly did have some use.

However,

what exactly its function was,

was something Su Xing would have to study slowly to find out.

"Never seen them."

Su Xing said after a moment’s hesitation.

"Heh heh."

"You were able to dodge those splinters..."

"That must mean that guy taught you a trick or two, right?"

"Kid, don’t think you can look down on people just because you know a few parlor tricks. You should know there’s always someone stronger. I’ll give you one last chance. Have you seen the people in these two photos or not?"
