Chapter 235: Chapter 163: Blade (2)
The two spiders that had squeezed inside were like fish on a chopping block. They couldn’t withstand a single hit before they burst with green blood.
The beast cores from their bodies
were also deftly plucked by Su Xing.
A line of text appeared.
[System has detected beast core energy. Converting to Sword Dao Points...]
"Huuuh..."
Su Xing let out a long breath.
Grinding monsters didn’t take much time, but it was exhausting.
It had only been a few minutes,
but most of the spiders before Su Xing were already gone. The ground was littered with corpses and green liquid, making it look like a spider graveyard.
Of course,
Su Xing’s rewards were also immense.
Between the beast cores he had harvested and the number of times the system panel had popped up, Su Xing had already lost count. He had no idea how many Sword Dao Points all of this would convert into.
’Now...’
’I should go find Su Yu first.’
’I’ve been gone for a while. He’s probably getting worried,’ Su Xing thought.
And he was right. But Su Yu wasn’t a robot; he was a living, breathing person. After hearing the massive commotion from inside the cave and with Su Xing still not back, his curiosity naturally got the better of him.
After some initial hesitation, he finally decided to enter the cave and take a look. And then he saw a sight he would never forget.
The entrance of the cave was filled with charred remains and bodies burned to a crisp, scattered everywhere.
The deeper he went,
the thicker the stench of blood became,
until he reached Su Xing’s location.
"Holy shit..."
Su Yu breathed.
The cave was vast, and Su Yu’s exclamation echoed through the space, naturally drawing Su Xing’s gaze.
"What are you doing in here?"
Seeing Su Yu, Su Xing was stunned for a moment before saying with a hint of resignation,
"Well, forget it. Since you’re here, let’s get back on the road."
"This..."
Su Yu said, gesturing to the surroundings.
"After I came in, I found a lot of spirit beasts, so I figured out a way to kill them all."
"..."
"Bro, you make it sound so simple."
Su Yu held his tongue for a long moment before finally letting out his complaint.
He knew Su Xing was powerful,
but he couldn’t help but be shocked every time he saw him in action.
Because,
he found it a little hard to believe,
that his once-unremarkable older brother now possessed such terrifying strength.
"It was that simple. Let’s go."
"The strongest of those spiders were only Tier Five. If it weren’t for their sheer numbers, I wouldn’t have even needed a narrow space to cut them all down."
"..."
Listening to his brother’s humblebrag, Su Yu said nothing and just followed Su Xing forward.
At some point,
Tier Five strength
had become beneath Su Xing’s notice.
After all, strength above Tier Four was a force to be reckoned with in any organization. In special organizations, Tier Five masters could be counted on one hand, and the same was true for Tier Six and Seven.
"Bro, that place you were hiding in before, that was the patrol post, right?"
"What about the people in the patrol post? Did you see any sign of them?"
Su Yu asked.
"..."
"They should be around here."
Su Xing said faintly.
As the two ventured deeper into the cave, a figure suddenly came into view, startling Su Yu and making him instantly adopt a combat stance. But Su Xing’s voice quickly snapped him out of it.
It’s a corpse,
not some monster,
and definitely not a living person.
"..."
Su Yu approached the body to observe it.
The body was still warm, suggesting they had died only a short while ago. But it was covered in holes, as if it had been gnawed on by countless tiny things.
"It’s definitely someone from the organization."
Su Yu’s voice was heavy. Even though he had only been in the organization for just over a year, he had developed a sense of belonging. Seeing someone he knew dead still made him sad.
But,
such was the nature of conflict.
As long as there was no peace in the world, death would always be commonplace.
For now, it was them who were dying.
But in the future, if the Celestial Human Tomb or the Martial God Hall took control of the world, perhaps it wouldn’t just be the Extraordinary Beings like them, who were silently bearing it all, who would die.
Su Xing gazed at the corpse, offering a few seconds of silent mourning before he spoke.
"Time to go."
"Shen Ruyun should still be over there, right?"
"Yeah."
Su Yu nodded.
Su Xing wasn’t as familiar with Shen Ruyun as the others were; to him, she was no different from Bailan. But for Su Yu’s sake, he was willing to save this "old acquaintance."
Just then,
the ring of a blade suddenly resounded!
The source,
was the women’s dormitory.
Su Xing and Su Yu exchanged a look, their eyes filled with surprise. They both sensed exactly who had made the move.
That’s right,
it was Blade, Li Longxuan.
...
The women’s dormitory.
Most of the buildings in the Spirit Realm were simple in architectural style, but the materials they were built with were incredibly sturdy.
Therefore,
even though a battle had taken place here,
most of the buildings remained intact.
Sequence Beasts.
This attack was carried out entirely by Sequence Beasts.
Unlike the other spirit beasts in the cave, this area only contained one type: Sequence Beasts. They had appeared out of nowhere and launched a suicide-style assault on the location.
At first,
the Sequencers here were overwhelmed.
The dormitories weren’t normally part of the patrol route, and since it was broad daylight, very few people were there. But...
the number of Sequence Beasts that appeared was immense!
Sequencers in other areas got the news immediately and tried to head this way to provide support, but like Su Xing, they were all more or less blocked by other spirit beasts.
Most Sequencers,
were thus caught in a bitter fight.
People like Su Xing, who could end a battle quickly, were a rare few.
Moreover, finishing one fight inevitably drained their stamina, meaning they wouldn’t be at their peak when they arrived at the next battlefield.
As a result,
the battle here became a desperate stalemate.
And this stalemate lasted until the arrival of Blade.
With just one slash,
all the Sequence Beasts turned to ash.
The Sequence Beasts probably died without ever understanding when Li Longxuan had appeared or how he had arrived.
No one could have guessed
that Blade would suddenly appear at a time like this.
Li Longxuan was rarely in the Spirit Realm. His arrival this time was completely silent, almost phantom-like.
After all the Sequence Beasts had turned to ash,
the Sequencers on the scene finally snapped out of their shock. They scrambled to pay their respects to the strongest member of their special organization, but he just waved his hand and said,
"There’s no need."
"I only came to see someone."
"Killing these Sequence Beasts was just a coincidence."
’See someone?’
the others wondered.
One of the higher-ranking men in the organization stepped forward and asked,
"Li Daoshen, who are you looking for?"
"I’m very familiar with the Spirit Realm. I should know a thing or two about everyone who stays here."
"Hmm..."
Li Daoshen glanced at the man, then finally shook his head and said,
"I don’t know."
"I don’t know who he is, either."
"But my intuition tells me there’s someone here who can help me. Anyway, you handle your business. I’m leaving."
With that,
Li Longxuan took a step forward and vanished from everyone’s sight.
A Tier Six Transcendent,
could master this kind of spatial ability.
But the speed at which Li Longxuan left was still unbelievably fast.
No one had time to react before Li Longxuan vanished from right in front of them. It was almost a full second before they finally processed the fact that he was gone.
...
The cave.
Su Xing and Su Yu were sitting there.
They had already received news that Li Longxuan had dealt with everything.
Therefore,
they were sitting there, resting for a moment.
But Su Xing suddenly seemed to sense something. The Heart Sword Stance enveloped him, and he instantly vanished from the spot.
"Huh?"
Su Yu didn’t realize what had happened.
But, the next second,
a figure
suddenly appeared before Su Yu.
It was... Li Longxuan.
