Swordsmanship Coach: Kill with One Slash

Chapter 220: Chapter 156: I’m Already Standing Here

Su Xing had no interest in this type of woman.

He couldn’t even be bothered to give her a second glance.

His gaze swept past her, landing on the two men standing beside the sofa.

One of them wore a black tank top, revealing two massively muscular, tattooed arms. He was clearly a Martial Artist.

The other was quite different. He was completely round, so fat his eyes were barely visible. His face was full of sycophantic flattery, and he looked to be in his forties. He had none of the characteristics of an Extraordinary Being; he was definitely just an ordinary person.

Besides these three, another man stood behind the one surnamed Lin. He was tall and strong, his face filled with disgust for this kind of place.

He seemed to be practicing a set of fist techniques and looked to be a member of the Martial God Hall as well.

One, two, three... Including himself, there were nine people in the private room.

Even with nine people,

the room didn’t feel crowded at all,

but instead, exceptionally spacious.

Of these eight people, besides the man practicing his fist techniques in the back and Liang, not a single one fit Su Xing’s understanding or image of a Martial Artist.

The Martial God Hall...

’There’s probably no shortage of internal strife within it.’

Su Xing suddenly realized this.

From what Su Xing understood, although the Martial God of the Martial God Hall had never been seen in action, the special organizations had plenty of records on him.

Generally speaking,

he was a terrifying but respectable opponent.

If the Martial God Hall was truly under the complete control of such a person, then people like these could never exist within it.

Because they had almost completely given up the thought and effort of continuing to climb the path of the Martial Dao.

In other words,

Su Xing held these people in utter contempt.

’The Martial God Hall... the one truly in power might not be that formidable Martial God. I wonder if he’s unwilling to manage it, or if he’s been stripped of his authority by some scheme.’

Su Xing suddenly thought.

When the door opened, the man with the two tattooed arms was the first to look over. The moment he saw Su Xing enter, his eyes narrowed, and he stared intently, not looking away.

"Ah, Lin Yi, I have some business tonight, so I must be going. I feel terrible that I can’t keep you company for long now that you’re back."

The pudgy middle-aged man glanced at Su Xing, then turned his head to speak to Lin Yi, who was sitting on the sofa.

"Haha, you’re too kind."

"General Manager Gu, you can just go. No need to worry about us."

Lin Yi’s voice was deep and muffled. When he laughed, it boomed like a war drum, making the two women in his lap flinch in discomfort. However, driven by professionalism, their expressions quickly reverted to cloying sweetness.

Although Lin Yi spoke politely,

he had no intention of standing up to see his guest out. His butt seemed glued to the sofa, not moving an inch. In reality, he had no respect for this so-called General Manager Gu.

Ordinary people,

to Extraordinary Beings like them,

were nothing more than large ants of a similar size.

The man called General Manager Gu just smiled. He didn’t say much—of course, he didn’t dare say much—and simply turned and left the private room alone.

As he reached the door, he brushed past Su Xing. A flash of pity crossed his eyes as he sighed and whispered:

"You poor kid."

His voice was very soft,

only Su Xing heard it.

Surprised, Su Xing glanced at the somewhat overweight middle-aged man, only to see his back as he left the room and the door he casually closed behind him.

"That Gu fellow, he’s quick to come and quick to go. To think he’d come see us this time without bringing anything. His nerve is getting bigger and bigger."

The tattooed man beside Lin Yi glanced at the closed door and said coldly.

"That’s normal."

"He’s just an ordinary person, after all."

"I was giving him a chance to suck up to me since he and my late father were on good terms, but he couldn’t even manage that for long."

"It just goes to show he has no affinity with the Extraordinary."

"..."

Su Xing instantly understood the meaning behind Lin Yi’s words, and his brow furrowed slightly.

It sounded like Boss Gu, who had just left, was a good friend of Lin Yi’s father.

Lin Yi’s parents died early. When he came from the Martial God Hall to the mortal world, he knew no one and had no one to look after him. So, to ensure he could live a life of pleasure, he sought out this "uncle" to provide for him.

And this was the result.

Mooching off someone

while maintaining such a superior attitude—

it made Su Xing feel sick to his stomach.

"Lin, we’ve brought the person."

Liang led Su Xing to stand a short distance in front of Lin Yi.

Lin Yi nodded, looked up at Su Xing, and gestured for the woman beside him to light a cigarette for him. Then, he said coolly to Su Xing:

"Sit."

As the woman leaned over to light Lin Yi’s cigarette, her movement pulled at his clothes, revealing a part of his neck beneath the thick suit. There was a very deep scar there.

For a Martial Artist,

scars are perfectly normal.

Before this Lin Yi gave up on getting stronger, he must have also been a Martial Artist dedicated to the Martial Dao. It wasn’t strange for him to have such an injury.

Su Xing glanced at the scar,

and obediently sat down as Liang had indicated.

Liang and the other sturdy man,

flanked Su Xing, standing behind him.

"You can call me Brother Lin."

Lin Yi first took a drag from his cigarette, then spoke slowly and deliberately, "Do you know why I had you brought here?"

It was obvious

that Lin Yi was trying to imitate a scene from a gangster movie.

But,

Su Xing wasn’t someone who could be intimidated so easily.

Instead, he found it rather amusing.

"I know a little."

Su Xing nodded, pretending to be scared.

"I do know a mysterious expert."

"Good."

"Very good."

"You’re an honest person. I like that."

Lin Yi suddenly started clapping, then pressed the lit end of his cigarette directly onto the ample flesh of the woman beside him, making her scream from the burn.

Lin Yi didn’t even bat an eyelid. He just kept looking at Su Xing and asked:

"Do you have a way to contact him?"

"I suggest you be a good boy and don’t think about resisting us. Otherwise... well, you should know what will happen."

Although Lin Yi had already let his Martial Dao training go to waste, his Tier Six Realm was still plain to see. He could naturally tell that Su Xing had signs of martial arts training.

Although he couldn’t tell what realm it was,

it didn’t seem to be very high.

He must have just learned some half-assed kung fu from that mysterious expert.

However,

even so,

he still used verbal threats to prevent Su Xing from getting hot-headed and doing something stupid. After all, killing someone really ruins the mood.

"..."

"I can indeed contact him."

After a long silence, Su Xing said, "We have a way of sensing each other. As long as I try to sense him, he’ll feel it and come to save me."

"?"

Lin Yi frowned.

He felt that something was off about those words.

But he couldn’t put his finger on what exactly was off.

After thinking for a moment,

he relaxed.

They just wanted to get the mirror; they didn’t necessarily have to fight the mysterious expert. Besides, even if a fight did break out, they had so many people here. The mysterious expert would only be walking to his death.

"Then contact him."

Lin Yi waved his hand dismissively.

Although it was all going a little too smoothly,

Lin Yi just assumed it was because Su Xing was scared out of his wits. He didn’t consider any other possibilities. Of course, it would never have occurred to him that the person he was looking for had been right beside him all along.

A long time later,

Su Xing made a show of setting things up.

At first, his act looked convincing,

so the others didn’t suspect anything and simply waited quietly.

But,

as the wait dragged on,

the seeds of doubt began to sprout.

"Kid, are you messing with me?"

Lin Yi’s eyes narrowed as he stared daggers at Su Xing, his pupils filled with intense displeasure.

’No wonder...’

’I was wondering why these preparations had no trace of energy.’

’At first, I thought it was some special technique,’

’but it turns out...’

’this little bastard was just asking to die!’

"I’m not tricking you."

"The mysterious expert..."

"Isn’t he standing right here?"
