Swordsmanship Coach: Kill with One Slash

Chapter 221: Chapter 157: Please Enlighten Me

"I’m not lying to you."

"The mysterious master is already standing right here, isn’t he?"

Su Xing’s chilling voice cut through the air.

The first reaction was a wave of goosebumps breaking out on everyone’s skin.

But,

that didn’t last long.

No one in this private room was a good person. Some of them were still pursuing the Martial Dao, while others had already given up the courage to keep climbing. But they all shared one thing in common: they were seasoned killers.

These men,

had taken more lives than they could count.

They only worshipped strength. In their eyes, the weak had no reason or right to exist.

Therefore,

Su Xing’s words didn’t cause much of a stir.

Su Xing had certainly startled them, but at the end of the day, he was just one person. There were eight of them here. There was no way they would be afraid of Su Xing, who had walked right into the lion’s den.

After all,

if a single sentence from him

was enough to make them cower in fear,

it would be far too humiliating.

Among them, only the man who had been practicing his boxing showed no disdain after Su Xing spoke. Instead, he kept his eyes locked on him, watching intently for his next move.

"You’re the mysterious master?"

"Hahahaha..."

Lin Yi looked Su Xing up and down and suddenly erupted in laughter. Leaning back on the sofa, he stared at Su Xing with utter contempt and said:

"You really don’t know what’s good for you."

"Just anyone dares to impersonate people these days."

"If you really are the mysterious master, then I suppose you’re the one who killed Cao Qing, too?"

Lin Yi stopped his wild laughter. He leaned forward, his eyes locked on Su Xing, and spoke.

His expression returned to calm, but a closer look would easily reveal a trace of scorn and mockery in his eyes, as if he were watching a circus performance.

"If you’re talking about killing that Cao fellow, then yes, that was me."

Su Xing’s voice was icy. As he spoke, he turned to fix his gaze on Lin Yi, who wasn’t far away. At the same time, he gently extended his right foot and tapped the coffee table in front of him, seemingly without any force at all.

But... the next second.

BANG!!!

The entire coffee table—a large and incredibly heavy piece of furniture—instantly exploded, disintegrating into a fine spray of splinters that scattered across the floor.

In an instant,

Lin Yi felt a chill envelop him, and the hairs on his body began to stand on end.

’This guy...’

He muttered to himself, ’I don’t know if he’s the mysterious master, but he’s definitely a Martial Dao expert!’

Lin Yi’s heart tightened. His hands, which had been resting on the two voluptuous women, suddenly clenched into fists.

"Did you have a feud with Cao Qing?"

Lin Yi suppressed the turmoil in his heart and said, forcing a calm tone:

"If you truly had a grievance with Cao Qing, I can offer you compensation on behalf of the Martial God Hall. You could also become a friend of our Martial God Hall. All we ask is that you return the mirror."

It was no simple feat to win the favor of a Steward.

The fact that Lin Yi had managed it proved he was by no means a fool. Although anyone here could shatter the coffee table with a kick, to do it so silently demonstrated that this man had absolute control over his power.

From this small detail, the bigger picture was clear.

This guy named Su Xing,

his strength was definitely not to be underestimated!

And that wasn’t even considering the minor details. The kid practicing his boxing, for example—though single-minded in his training, his strength was nothing to scoff at. If even he was treating Su Xing with such caution, then there was no way Su Xing was a simple character.

That was why Lin Yi didn’t immediately think of starting a fight. Instead, he dropped the name of the Martial God Hall, hoping to try a more roundabout tactic and achieve his goal without a battle.

"No, he didn’t offend me,"

Su Xing said lightly.

"Uh..."

Lin Yi was stunned. He had offered Su Xing an honorable way out, but he’d never imagined Su Xing would just throw it back in his face.

"Then why did you kill him?"

"Why did I kill him?"

"Does one need a reason to kill?"

Su Xing’s tone was mocking. "I thought you people would understand something like this. Turns out you’re just a bunch of..."

"Let me ask you something."

"If you stepped on an ant or two, would you bother to find an excuse or a reason for it?"

"..."

Hearing this, Lin Yi’s eyes darkened, and his expression turned ugly.

"It’s true, Cao Qing did not offend me."

"But you lot, by kidnapping me, have certainly managed to offend me thoroughly."

Su Xing’s lips curled into a cruel smile.

"But then again, once I’ve killed every last one of you, it won’t matter whether you offended me or not."

His tone was grim, his killing intent laid bare.

’The Martial God Hall’s goal this time is the mirror I’m carrying.’

This was a clue Su Xing had known from the very beginning.

He had also learned that this mirror could very likely be used to suppress the Celestial Human Tomb.

In that case,

keeping it for himself was the best option. Although the Martial God Hall claimed they wanted to deal with the Celestial Human Tomb, he had no intention of letting other factions survive.

Su Xing couldn’t possibly be expected to willingly hand over something he had seized just because the Martial God Hall claimed they were going to deal with the Celestial Human Tomb. Not unless the Martial God Hall made their stance completely clear.

Otherwise,

if they wanted to take it,

they would have to prove they had the strength to do so.

"Goddammit. You want to do this the hard way."
