Swordsmanship Coach: Kill with One Slash

Chapter 226: Chapter 159: Waiting for the Next Life (Part 2)

The technique could create countless afterimages to swarm an opponent. They were an endless, inexhaustible stream. First, they would wear down the opponent’s stamina, and finally, the user’s real body would deliver the killing blow. It was an absolutely terrifying ultimate art.

The legacy of the Martial God Hall,

Indeed,

was anything but ordinary.

Although Jiang Yinfeng hadn’t yet mastered it, the technique was already extraordinary. Combined with his superb Body Technique and these afterimages, most people would find an enemy like Jiang Yinfeng incredibly difficult to handle.

Su Xing’s two consecutive attacks

had struck nothing but the afterimages left behind by his opponent’s movements.

Meanwhile, his true body

was naturally hidden amongst the dense crowd of duplicates.

As long as his real body remained hidden,

no matter how powerful Su Xing was or what incredible abilities he possessed, he wouldn’t be able to harm a single hair on Jiang Yinfeng’s head.

In truth,

for a Martial Artist like Jiang Yinfeng,

he had certainly trained in more than just techniques for direct confrontation.

For a combat style centered on maneuvering with speed,

learning a ranged attack or two was the most logical choice.

And he had done just that.

However, his choice of study was different from most Martial Artists, who preferred to leverage their advantages with skills like throwing knives or other hidden weapons.

He, however, had learned to use Spiritual Power.

Logically speaking,

methods for using Spiritual Power were far more effective for Qi Cultivators to train than for Martial Artists. But Jiang Yinfeng couldn’t care less about that; he just needed something to make killing easier.

Fortunately,

the Martial God Hall had accumulated a vast collection,

and its armory truly contained a martial art specifically for a Martial Artist to cultivate Spiritual Power.

After long-term practice,

Jiang Yinfeng’s proficiency with Spiritual Power was in no way inferior to his skill in his Body Technique—one might even say it was greater. With a single glance, he could easily crush most Martial Artists of a lower realm.

As for Martial Artists of the same rank,

it would require a bit more effort.

Theoretically,

Su Xing was also Tier 5,

so it should have been perfectly normal for Jiang Yinfeng to crush him instantly.

However,

Jiang Yinfeng tried several times,

but forget instantly killing Su Xing—his Spiritual Power vanished without a trace, like a clay ox entering the sea. It couldn’t even stir a single ripple. Then, Jiang Yinfeng suddenly noticed a faint layer of white energy covering Su Xing’s body.

It was this layer of energy

that completely blocked his Spiritual Power.

"What is this?"

Jiang Yinfeng’s own physical realm was not high enough to comprehend such a thing, so he naturally had no idea what it was on Su Xing’s body.

In fact,

Su Xing himself wasn’t entirely sure either.

It was the cumulative result of his body growing stronger each time he broke through.

In reality,

even for a proper Martial Artist,

they only experienced significant physical growth during realm breakthroughs.

They were nothing like Su Xing,

who could improve a single sword technique and have his entire body start strengthening like it was on steroids.

Therefore,

Su Xing’s physical body

had likely reached an unprecedented level.

At the very least,

the number of people who could even see this white light

must have been vanishingly small.

Now,

Su Xing finally understood another effect of this layer of white light.

In addition to increasing his Defense Power,

"Block All Arts"

That was its new effect.

Although it sounded incredibly domineering, whether it could actually block anything depended on Su Xing’s own strength, as well as that of his opponent.

But even so,

this was a huge enhancement for Su Xing.

Especially when facing those nauseatingly tricky Sequencers.

Su Xing had been on the losing end against them more than once.

And then there were the Qi Cultivators,

whose Magic-like techniques were surely endless.

"Damn it..."

Jiang Yinfeng frowned.

’If Spiritual Power is ineffective, the difficulty of defeating Su Xing will increase dramatically.’

Because,

Su Xing’s monstrously tough body

was shocking even to him, a Tier 6 fighter.

’If,’

’I were to clash with Su Xing, fist against sword,’

’I’d probably be able to hold my own at first,’

’but soon,’

’I’d fall behind,’

’and end up decapitated by the Black Sword or Snake Sword.’

’I can’t let that happen!’

While maintaining his extreme speed, Jiang Yinfeng’s mind raced, desperately trying to find a solution to this immense problem.

’No.’

’I have to win this fight.’

’That means I can’t take the offensive. Attacking proactively would be suicide. I have to use my superior speed to keep him occupied, and then find the right opportunity...’

’For a one-hit kill!!!’

This was Jiang Yinfeng’s plan.

Simple and unadorned,

but highly effective.

Use his strengths to cover his weaknesses, exhaust his opponent’s stamina, and find the right moment to end the fight quickly.

Just then,

Jiang Yinfeng suddenly heard Su Xing speak.

"Still want to keep running?"

"Huh?"

Just as Jiang Yinfeng was about to ignore it, thinking it was just a delaying tactic from Su Xing, his eyes shot wide open at an unimaginable sight.

He saw Su Xing,

with the Snake Sword in his left hand and the Black Sword in his right,

wielding the two longswords as he madly slashed at the afterimages.

First, the Black Sword obliterated the first duplicate.

Then the Snake Sword swiftly obliterated the second, the third, the fourth, the fifth, the sixth...

A normal person could never land so many slashes in a single second.

But Su Xing,

could no longer be considered a normal person.

Su Xing, dual-wielding his swords like a meat grinder, swung them in unison, unleashing a frenzy of over a hundred slashes in less than a second.
