Swordsmanship Coach: Kill with One Slash

Chapter 225: Chapter 159: Waiting for the Next Life

"Hah."

"A sharp tongue is useless."

"Oh, right. I forgot the most important thing."

The man ended the idle chatter, his body slowly tensing, straight as a rod, as if preparing for battle. His next words seemed to float down lightly.

"Allow me to introduce myself."

"My name is Jiang Yinfeng. I’m ready when you are. And just so you know, my strength is far greater than that Liang kid’s."

The instant his voice fell, his body dissolved into a dense, countless mass of afterimages that rushed toward Su Xing.

Indeed,

Jiang Yinfeng had made the simplest of movements.

He stepped forward with his right foot.

But with just that single step,

he appeared more than ten meters away,

leaving behind a trail of tightly-linked afterimages. These afterimages were so clear they looked like solid clones.

’This guy’s speed...’

’Is he so fast he’s causing persistence of vision?’

Su Xing couldn’t help but marvel internally.

The human eye experiences a brief persistence of vision.

To put it simply,

when an image passes through the retina, the retina retains the information for a short period, causing the image to seem to persist for a certain amount of time.

This is how persistence of vision is formed.

It’s like when an ordinary person looks at an electric fan.

Though the fan blades are clearly moving at high speed, they sometimes appear to be rotating very, very slowly.

This is because,

to some extent, the fan’s high-speed blades are just a series of rapidly rotating patterns. A normal human eye can’t capture such high speeds, which creates a blurring effect that makes the fan appear to be spinning slowly.

And this Jiang Yinfeng,

his speed had reached precisely this level.

Creating afterimages in the eyes of others was nothing special. But for his speed to be difficult for even Su Xing’s eyes to track—that was a testament to his true strength.

Unfortunately for him,

you don’t necessarily need your eyes to see someone.

So,

this guy was indeed fast,

but for Su Xing, it wasn’t enough.

Just as Jiang Yinfeng appeared before Su Xing in a few flash steps, trailing a series of afterimages,

Su Xing didn’t hesitate at all.

He had long been prepared for battle. In an instant, the Black Sword in his hand slashed out toward the approaching figure, striking him viciously.

BANG!

The air instantly exploded!

Creating a deafening crack like thunder!

However, this strike, backed by such terrifying brute force, hit nothing but air. Su Xing’s sword passed right through the body, failing to make solid contact.

"Hm?"

Su Xing raised an eyebrow.

’Wrong!’

A sharp cry echoed in his mind.

Su Xing instantly understood what had just happened. Without pausing, he materialized the Snake Sword in his left hand and, with the smoothest of motions, slashed at Jiang Yinfeng, who had already appeared by his side.

BOOM!!!

Like a missile striking down,

a violent torrent of air formed a shocking blast wave that furiously surged in all directions.

With this strike,

Su Xing had used even greater power.

Logically, this strike should have been far more powerful than the last—overwhelmingly so. Yet even this seemingly guaranteed hit still sliced through an afterimage.

At the same time,

the small snake on the sword also lunged at nothing,

landing awkwardly on the ground before reluctantly returning to the blade with a look of displeasure.

His first strike missing

hadn’t surprised Su Xing.

Although Su Xing considered himself very strong, he wasn’t arrogant enough to underestimate every Martial Artist in the world. It wasn’t too shocking that a Tier Six Martial Artist could achieve such speed.

He was a tricky opponent, but manageable.

However,

when his second strike also missed,

a hint of surprise finally appeared on Su Xing’s face.

"Not bad, in terms of power."

"A pity. Now, it’s my turn to attack."

Seeing Su Xing’s two consecutive strikes,

Jiang Yinfeng, who had been probing his opponent, finally had a measure of his strength.

Previously,

the other Martial Artists from the Martial God Hall

hadn’t been very skilled.

Especially that Lin Yi.

Despite being a Tier Six Martial Artist, he had been dealt with so easily by Su Xing.

Not to mention the Tier Fives.

Su Xing’s previous fights against the other Martial Artists had led Jiang Yinfeng to misjudge him, which was why he needed to test Su Xing himself before deciding to attack in earnest.

’He’s strong, alright,’

’but still far from enough.’

This was Jiang Yinfeng’s judgment.

He and Liang

were, in fact, the same type of Martial Artist.

Both of them specialized in ultimate speed.

However,

the difference was that Liang was relatively simple.

He excelled at short-distance bursts and straight-line sprints, like a robot that could only follow a fixed program.

What’s more,

his greatest strength

had been completely crushed by Su Xing’s "Flurry."

Jiang Yinfeng, on the other hand, was completely different.

His speed was also fast,

but what made him even more formidable was his agility.

This was the result of cultivating his Body Technique to the absolute limit,

perfectly controlling the force of inertia on his body. This allowed him to do as he pleased while moving at high speeds, changing direction at will. One could say Jiang Yinfeng’s Body Technique was unpredictable and utterly mysterious.

Most importantly,

he had long since reached the Tier Six level.

Jiang Yinfeng had been training in this unique art since he was a child and was exceptionally skilled at it. The art also had a name that perfectly matched its effect.

"Three Thousand Phantom Bodies."

When this unique art was mastered,
