Swordsmanship Coach: Kill with One Slash

Chapter 252: Chapter 172: Confession

That was right.

Of all the creatures living in the Spirit Realm,

very few did not fear this race of lunatics.

Because,

the Spirit Realm was only so big.

No matter how well you hid, you would eventually be discovered.

Once you slipped up, they would stop at nothing to utterly eradicate you. This sense of crisis made all other races think twice before confronting these centaur lunatics.

However,

Su Xing was completely unaware of any of this.

In his eyes, these centaur women were just another type of spiritual beast. Killing them was killing them; it was no big deal. The important thing now was to find more beast cores.

"Phew..."

Su Xing exhaled softly.

Night had fallen not long after he left Luocheng, and those ghostly spirits began to dance across the sky. At first, he found them incredibly annoying, but Su Xing soon discovered that these ghosts tended to appear where there were large numbers of spiritual beast corpses.

Some of the spiritual beast carcasses were rotted beyond recognition, but others were still relatively intact. From them, Su Xing harvested a great many beast cores. He had truly made a huge haul.

At this moment,

Su Xing sat in a patch of wasteland.

He had completely swept away the surrounding snow. Using the leftover bones of spiritual beasts and some fallen leaves as fuel, he had built a simple campfire.

In the nearby darkness, quite a few spiritual beasts watched Su Xing, trembling in fear.

In the Spirit Realm,

most spiritual beasts moved in packs.

But a portion of them were solitary from birth, with no companions. The pressure on them to survive was immense.

They had to guard against the Spirit Realm’s moon and avoid being turned into living corpses by the centaurs. And now, a Living King Yama had appeared—the very same Su Xing sitting before them.

In fact,

this was to be expected.

Ever since entering the Spirit Realm, Su Xing hadn’t been ostentatious, but he hadn’t been particularly cautious either. Many beasts had likely sensed him sweeping through their territory like a plague of locusts.

Furthermore,

a campfire in the dead of night...

...made it impossible for other beasts to ignore Su Xing’s presence.

However,

once they began to pay attention to this human,

these spiritual beasts would immediately discover that this guy was an out-and-out King Yama. He would kill any spiritual beast he saw, and after killing it, he would cut open its head. He offered no quarter whatsoever.

Therefore, although the spiritual beasts were also worried about the harassing ghosts, they didn’t dare come out with Su Xing right there. They could only hide nearby, terrified.

’I wonder how their search is going.’

Su Xing naturally sensed the subtle movements of the nearby spiritual beasts, but he wasn’t some completely evil monster. There was no need to go and kill them all right now.

Of course,

this wasn’t because Su Xing was having a change of heart.

It was just that Su Xing realized that while the ghosts varied in strength, their numbers were so vast they were impossible to eliminate. If he stumbled into some dangerous place while hunting these spiritual beasts, he would find himself in a very difficult situation.

However,

he wondered if it was just his imagination,

but Su Xing felt that the ghosts seemed a little afraid of him.

But,

there was no way to verify this.

And there was no need for him to take that risk.

’I should just sit here quietly and wait for dawn before thinking about what to do next.’

So Su Xing didn’t overthink it. He just gazed quietly at the blue moon in the sky, a sudden curiosity welling up within him as he thought:

’How was this Spirit Realm created? Why is it that as soon as night falls, the souls of dead spiritual beasts are dragged out to wander the world?’

’Could it be that the Spirit Realm is actually a spiritualized world?’

Su Xing suddenly wondered.

But he immediately dismissed this guess himself.

Although,

it sounded somewhat plausible.

But there was one obvious problem: the Spirit Lord of this world was, without a doubt, a real person.

Not only that, but the members of the Spiritual Sect Su Xing had fought before were not souls either—they were all real people.

If the Spirit Realm was truly a "spiritualized" region, then these people, and anyone else living in the Spirit Realm, should all be souls. They wouldn’t be like this... unless the Spirit Lord had used some special method back then.

’Forget it...’

’There’s no point thinking about this. Once I take down all these guys in the Spirit Realm, I’ll naturally find out what’s hidden behind the curtain.’

he thought to himself.

While Su Xing was lost in thought, the spiritual beasts hiding in the shadows began to converse in a manner unique to their kind:

"Do any of you know where that guy came from?"

"..."

"No idea."

Many of the spiritual beasts shook their heads.

"Is he from one of the human tribes? Has anyone ever seen him before?"

"Never."

"When is he going to leave? If he keeps this up, how are we poor, solitary wild spiritual beasts supposed to survive?"

"..."

"Who knows?"

The spiritual beasts all looked troubled. Although they enjoyed eating humans, very few wild spiritual beasts had ever actually managed to eat one. Humans were already a rare species in the Spirit Realm, and they were hardly ever seen.

But now,

such a powerful one had suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

And he was chasing them, the wild spiritual beasts, cutting them down left and right. If they had the chance, they really wanted to roar, "If you’re so tough, go pick on the spiritual beasts that live in packs!"

However,

one thing was certain for now:

As long as they stayed hidden and didn’t make a fuss, he wouldn’t come over and slaughter them all right away.
