Swordsmanship Coach: Kill with One Slash

"There's a fire ahead."

Lin Yiming was formerly from the military, having undergone all sorts of specialized training. Coupled with his current physical attributes as an Extraordinary Being, his perception had reached a terrifying level.

Therefore,

he spotted the firelight instantly.

Even though the flames were still quite a distance away.

"Huh?"

The others hadn't noticed at first, but after his reminder, they all saw that someone was actually lighting a fire in that direction.

"Aren't they a little too bold?"

Zero couldn't help but say.

Firelight has always drawn the attention of other creatures. If you attract too many, escaping the wilderness at night becomes incredibly difficult.

Even among them, the natives, almost no one dared to light a fire at night, let alone someone from the outside like the four beside him—assuming that was even the case.

Thinking of this, Zero looked at the four and asked,

"Was it just the four of you who came in this time?"

"Yes. If they came through our passage, then it should only be the four of us. Unless they have some method to make themselves invisible to everyone."

"I see."

Zero said, a little confused,

"Then this person... they should know what the Spirit Realm is like. To know that and still dare to do something like this... that's some serious nerve."

As his voice fell,

his gaze drifted toward the distant sky.

It was still swarming with ghosts, but they seemed to be circling a pillar, not daring to get any closer. And the spot they dared not approach was precisely where the firelight originated.

"Then again..."

"With this kind of skill, acting so boldly isn't really being reckless. It's just being confident."

"Alright, let's hurry."

Lin Yiming also glanced at the sky. He felt a faint unease in his heart, a feeling not from the present, but rather as if something was about to happen in the future.

It was just that...

what would happen in the future,

he had no clue.

"Yeah."

"We really should get going."

"Let's head over there first. If they welcome us, we'll stay until dawn."

"If they're not friendly, we'll just leave. It's not hard to leave at night. Besides, if a fight does break out, there are six of us."

Zero reasoned.

Indeed, under normal circumstances, his reasoning would have been sound. After all, no creature would want to get entangled with six formidable humans at night.

However,

Su Xing was different.

If Su Xing wanted to kill someone, he would achieve his goal no matter the time or circumstance.

Fortunately,

Su Xing was more or less on their side.

Even if they did meet,

Su Xing wouldn't be out for blood.

Soon,

the six of them approached the area.

As they entered, they suddenly felt, for some unknown reason, many more gazes from the spirit beasts around them.

In terms of numbers, there were more living spirit beasts here than they had seen since entering the Spirit Realm. All of them were staring intently in one direction.

"What's going on here?"

"Could it be that the one who started the fire isn't human? Is it a spirit beast?"

one of the organization members asked in confusion.

Indeed,

spirit beasts had the ability to summon their own kind.

This situation,

was more like a Beast King was here.

"No."

Zero shook his head and said,

"These spirit beasts are all different species. They can't be from the same clan. A single Beast King can't summon so many different types."

Zero was more knowledgeable,

so he immediately dismissed the idea.

Besides,

what spirit beast would ever need to start a fire?

As the saying goes, the more fur, the weaker you are to fire. Although spirit beasts had mostly overcome their fear of fire, it was still impossible that one of them would actively start one.

Liking bright lights,

is usually a human thing to do.

"Hmm..."

"I don't know if it's just my imagination."

"But I feel like these spirit beasts look terrified."

said Lin Yiming, who had been silent until now.

"Terrified?"

It was as if something clicked.

Zero almost instantly believed this seemingly baseless judgment.

Because,

the Night Wanderer Ghosts were afraid,

so why wouldn't these spirit beasts be?

It was a very reasonable guess: they were afraid of the Night Wanderer Ghosts, but also afraid of that person, so they hid near him without daring to show themselves.

Of course,

Su Xing knew why these spirit beasts were afraid of him.

However,

he had no idea what those ghosts called Night Wanderer Ghosts were so afraid of.

Although...

when night had just fallen,

he had indeed killed a large batch of them.

But,

'these things don't exactly look intelligent.'

"Cough..."

Su Xing let out a light cough.

Staying in the snow for so long,

even he was starting to feel that the environment was a bit too damn cold.

"Hm?"

'How come there are people here?'

Su Xing, who had been spacing out while fiddling with the bonfire, suddenly snapped back to reality. He glanced behind him and thought to himself.

"..."

"It really is a person."

Hearing that cough, everyone was almost certain that there was a human ahead. And as long as it was a human, things would be much simpler.

The Spirit Realm wasn't like the mortal world.

The mortal world was a great, colorful dyeing vat, full of all sorts of things. Humans didn't trust each other; instead, there was all manner of suspicion and doubt, and every kind of heinous event had occurred.

But,

the Spirit Realm was like a crystal-clear spring.

As long as everyone was human, they shared a common identity, common enemies, and a common purpose. Everything became much easier to discuss.

Therefore,

as long as the person over there was a native,
