Swordsmanship Coach: Kill with One Slash

Chapter 228: Chapter 160: Declaration of War

Inside the dark room.

Su Xing washed the blood from his body and lay quietly in his bed, his eyes staring blankly at the ceiling above.

He had clashed with the Martial God Hall again.

Unlike the time he killed Cao Qing, which had required some effort, this time, his confrontation with the eight men was a complete and utter beatdown.

The eight men sent by the Martial God Hall couldn’t even put up the slightest resistance. One by one, they were torn to shreds by Su Xing’s immense power, reduced to corpses.

’I wonder...’

’Will the Martial God Hall send even stronger or more numerous Martial Artists next time?’

Su Xing rolled over,

thinking to himself.

Compared to the yet-to-arrive Celestial Human Tomb and the soon-to-be-destroyed Spirit Realm, the Martial God Hall was clearly a powerful force that required more attention. In particular, its intricate and complex power structure made it difficult for Su Xing to determine whether the Martial God Hall was an enemy or something else entirely.

After all,

it contained completely different kinds of people, from Lin Yi to Jiang Yinfeng.

In truth, overthinking it was useless.

If the Martial God Hall was willing to show goodwill and offer terms sufficient to quell his killing intent, Su Xing would naturally let go of his prejudice and hostility toward them.

But if they only sent disgusting people like Lin Yi, Su Xing wouldn’t mind completely annihilating the Martial God Hall once he was strong enough. At worst, it would just mean a few decent Martial Artists would get caught in the crossfire.

He sighed.

’But about me killing those men...’

’I wonder how the people in the Martial God Hall will judge the situation.’

’They might start to suspect me, but they probably won’t reach a definitive conclusion right away.’

’No, that’s not right.’

’I need to find some time to delete the surveillance footage from that nightclub.’

Su Xing muttered.

Although he had used his Sparrow Sword to destroy the camera inside the private room when he made his move, the cameras outside still recorded him walking in. Just to be safe, it would be best to have Su Yu handle it.

Also...

Improving his strength was an urgent matter.

If he had to get involved in the next matter concerning the Spirit Realm, he would. That was the only way to obtain the energy needed to accelerate his growth and become stronger even faster.

One thought after another flashed through Su Xing’s mind. As his thoughts settled, he closed his eyes for the first time in what felt like a long while and fell into a deep sleep.

...

For the next two days, Su Xing kept a close eye on the situation within the Extraordinary World.

After all, the death of eight members was a painful blow that would be hard for any organization to bear, let alone a tragedy befalling the Martial God Hall, one of the current three great organizations.

However,

the Martial God Hall remained surprisingly still.

It was as if the incident had never happened.

They were unexpectedly calm, and everything was quiet. Other than an initial investigation by a special organization, not a single Extraordinary Being had come near the nightclub, which was still operating peacefully to this day.

Apparently,

the Martial God Hall didn’t seem to care much about the deaths of this group,

or at least, they didn’t care on the surface.

This came as a surprise to Su Xing. He couldn’t help but feel that some people within the Martial God Hall might have even been happy to see this group dead.

But thinking along those lines would imply internal factional struggles within the Martial God Hall. With his current, limited knowledge of the organization, it was impossible for Su Xing to figure out what was really going on inside.

However,

if that was really the case,

then the person in the Martial God Hall who orchestrated all this was far too calculating.

First, they provoked the wrath of the special organization, forcing the Martial God Hall into a state of combat. Under such circumstances, arranging for a team to retrieve the mirror from a "suspect" would seem perfectly reasonable.

However,

this person probably didn’t know that Su Xing himself was the mysterious expert.

They likely thought

the mysterious expert would probably intervene to save Su Xing.

With these people dead,

the person who arranged everything certainly wouldn’t be at a loss.

If they hadn’t been killed,

they would have retrieved the mirror, and his prestige within the Martial God Hall would have soared. Either way, he couldn’t lose.

At this thought,

Su Xing’s brow furrowed.

He might have gotten some details wrong, but his intuition vaguely told him that something very similar had indeed occurred within the Martial God Hall.

"This is about eliminating dissidents,"

Su Xing murmured.

But the internal affairs of the Martial God Hall were ultimately their own business. It had absolutely nothing to do with him. Moreover, this was all just his own speculation, so there was no evidence to make these guesses hold water.

Therefore,

Su Xing kept these thoughts to himself.

At the same time, he returned to his usual, peaceful life: teaching classes, practicing his sword, and visiting his uncle at the old house.

However,

Lu Anning and Xiao Yu had been sent away by Su Yu,

and had not yet returned.

As a result, the growth rate of Su Xing’s Sword Dao Points had slowed considerably.

Of course,

it was a lesson learned the hard way.

Now, apart from teaching his regular classes, Su Xing basically no longer stayed at the Sword Hall. He spent most of his time living with his uncle in the house.

Although

the Martial God Hall had made no move,

Su Xing was still wary that they might send a Tier Six Peak or even a Tier Seven Martial Artist. That would become extremely troublesome. Therefore, every time he went out, he carefully scanned his surroundings for any suspicious individuals.

Fortunately,

several days passed without incident.

There wasn’t a single suspicious person in sight. At the same time, Su Xing received two pieces of good news. The first was that Lu Anning and Xiao Yu had returned. Furthermore, Lu Anning had successfully broken through to Tier Three, becoming a fairly strong Martial Artist.
