Swordsmanship Coach: Kill with One Slash

Chapter 238: Chapter 165: Nine Nether Sparrow

Spirit Realm.

Within a cavern.

Many colossal spirit beasts were gathered here, huddled together as if imitating a human meeting, whispering amongst themselves.

One of them, a spider-like spirit beast, was particularly agitated. Its mandibles emitted an extremely grating noise while its many legs skittered across the ground, producing the CRUNCHING sound of stone being pierced and shattered.

At the same time,

an aura of fury radiated from its body.

This aura, combined with its internal energy, instantly whipped up a shocking blast wave. Accompanied by its angry voice, its words alone seemed to send ripples blasting through the surroundings.

"My clan suffered devastating losses for the sake of your plan! Don’t tell me you’re just going to wash your hands of this and run!"

Indeed,

Su Xing had killed a great many spiders,

so many that it was likely impossible to calculate the total losses.

"Hee hee hee... How could we?"

A massive, gecko-like creature hung upside down from the cavern ceiling. Its laugh was sharp and grating, unpleasant to the ear, but its words captured the spider’s attention.

"Your clan also suffered heavy losses. How is it that you, their great king, are showing no reaction at all?"

When it came to devastating losses,

the spider clan was definitely number one. Thanks to Li Longxuan’s intervention, the Sequence Beasts came in second, and the gecko-like creatures third. This was because only these three clans had attacked the special organization.

However, the gecko paid no mind to the spider’s obvious challenge. It merely shifted its body, made a strange sound, and said:

"Why should I react?"

"They should be proud to have given their lives for the great ideal of us leaving the Spirit Realm and returning to the mortal world. What is there to be angry or resentful about?"

"Tch. When it’s your time to die, will you still be spouting such empty platitudes?"

Nearby,

the King of Sequence Beasts, who had been sitting quietly, scoffed.

He was completely different from the spider and the gecko.

The King of Sequence Beasts—

it was unknown which Sequencers he had devoured,

or perhaps his power had simply reached an unbelievable level,

but he was not sitting here in his beast form.

Instead, he looked like a man.

He appeared as a young man in his early twenties with messy brown hair, dressed in white clothes. His left hand was a thick, human hand, but his right was a silver-white arm covered in barbs.

These spirit beasts were originally ordinary spirit beasts living near the Spirit Realm, but they had been unexpectedly sucked inside by the actions of a Spirit Lord, allowing them to escape the great Spiritual Qi exhaustion.

Furthermore,

spirit beasts often have much longer lifespans than humans. They managed to endure for several hundred years, surviving to the present day.

Among them,

the true power of this King of Sequence Beasts

was the most terrifying.

It could even be described as unfathomable.

His long life as a spirit beast had allowed him to devour countless Sequencers and acquire an innumerable amount of sequences. Even he himself would have a hard time saying exactly how powerful he had become.

Because

during his lonely, solitary days in the Spirit Realm,

he rarely had the chance to fight.

Most of the time, he was cultivating in solitude, practicing the sequences he had obtained before being trapped here. He had now honed these abilities to an indescribable level.

"How are they empty platitudes?"

the gecko said nonchalantly.

"Isn’t this how people in the human world love to glorify their heroes? I thought I’d learn a thing or two, so when I send my clan members to die for us, they can at least feel a sense of honor."

"After all..."

"Those guys on the outside are no pushovers. Especially that old man—his power is terrifyingly high. I doubt even those two old monsters in the sect are a match for him."

The "old man,"

of course, referred to Li Longxuan.

None of these spirit beasts had actually met Li Longxuan before; they had only heard of him, more or less. But his actions this time had left them thoroughly shaken.

The "two old monsters"

naturally referred to the two in the Spirit Sect.

The relationship between these spirit beasts, the Spirit Lord, and Lord Yin was a strange one.

Although they lived together—you could even call them neighbors—the two sides had always kept to themselves, having little contact. At times, conflicts would even arise between them.

The reason was simple:

the spirit beasts looked down on humans.

Furthermore, these spirit beasts had originally been just minor spirit beasts wandering near the Spirit Sect, surviving only by a twist of fate. A being on the level of a Spirit Lord wouldn’t have given them a second glance.

But

who could have expected

that in a few hundred years, these minor spirit beasts would produce several powerful kings?

One must understand,

a spirit beast’s development process

often takes over a thousand years.

To achieve so much in just a few hundred years

already made them geniuses of the Beast Race.

Therefore,

although the King of Sequence Beasts was the strongest,

the gecko wasn’t particularly afraid of him.

’Who here isn’t a genius, after all?’

Hearing the gecko’s words,

the five spirit beasts fell into contemplative silence.

These five spirit beasts represented the five beast clans within the Spirit Realm.

They had originally planned to use this opportunity to leave the Spirit Realm and return to the mortal world together, but Li Longxuan’s appearance had shattered their chances.

"If you ask me..."

"Perhaps we can negotiate with those humans. We help them deal with the Spirit Sect in exchange for a place to live."
