Swordsmanship Coach: Kill with One Slash

Chapter 261: Chapter 176: Asking a Question (2)

"Yi, you have to listen to me on this."

"This outsider is definitely more important than the elders from other clans. It’s not just about his power or what he represents—he’s the great benefactor of our clan. Of course, we must take good care of him."

"..."

"I understand, of course."

Yi didn’t say much more. He glanced at Su Xing and realized he was still awake, so he whispered to him:

"I’m going to carry you back to your room."

"Please don’t take offense."

"Mm."

Su Xing hummed in acknowledgment, then felt himself fall unconscious. He had no idea how much time had passed before he slowly drifted back to awareness.

"Did you hear?"

"What?"

"The person in this room is the benefactor who saved our clan. Apparently, he’s the one who drove off that outsider. The Liu Clan Elder confirmed it himself."

"I heard."

"How could anyone not have heard about something like this?"

"If you ask me, we’ve had a lot of outsiders in the clan these past two days. First, there were those bastards from the Martial God Hall. Then Zero and Five brought back four people, and now we have a lifesaving benefactor."

"Something just doesn’t feel right to me."

"What’s not right about it?"

The other man said, completely unconcerned.

"Hmm..."

"I can’t put my finger on what it is, exactly. I just feel like the atmosphere in the clan has become much more tense. It feels like something big is about to happen."

"Heh, what could possibly happen?"

"We’ve lived in the Spirit Realm for so long, what haven’t we seen? Even if something did happen, we’d definitely get through it safe and sound."

"Haha, that’s true."

The voices of the two men talking slowly seeped through the wooden door and into Su Xing’s ears. He struggled to open his eyes and saw a ceiling carved with intricate patterns above him.

"..."

’I never imagined the backlash from shattering the Snake Sword would be this immense.’

Su Xing muttered to himself.

It wasn’t as if he’d never shattered two swords before.

The last time,

when Su Xing fought the Spirit Lord’s projection,

he had shattered two swords.

That time, Su Xing had nearly died.

It was far more serious than simply falling unconscious this time.

The problem was,

back then, Su Xing was only at Tier Four. Now, he was already a Tier Five Martial Artist. He had thought he could withstand it, but it seemed he had underestimated the toll of shattering the sword.

Still,

it wasn’t as if he hadn’t made progress.

At least this time he had only passed out and wasn’t in any real danger.

’Where am I?’

Su Xing slowly sat up. He could feel that his injuries had already healed, but he didn’t know how much time had passed.

’Oh... right. The natives brought me back to my room to recover. I wonder how many days have passed since then.’

"..."

’Don’t tell me those people from the special organization have already returned to the mortal world.’

Su Xing thought suddenly.

Panic seized him at the thought. Although he was strong enough to shatter space, it was still too difficult for him to travel between two worlds as easily as Li Qing could.

If it were

within a single world, it might be possible.

It was just that Su Xing hadn’t systematically trained in this method of spatial teleportation and wasn’t very skilled at it yet.

However,

if Su Xing put his mind to it,

he should be able to do it.

But teleporting between two worlds through the void was an ability only someone at Tier Seven could achieve. With Su Xing’s current strength, it was likely impossible.

So,

if those people had already left,

then Su Xing would be trapped here.

At this thought, Su Xing immediately wanted to get out of bed and leave the room to find out what the current situation was.

But the moment he moved, the wooden bed beneath him let out a loud CREAK. The two men outside immediately pushed the door open, rushed in, and quickly pressed down on Su Xing’s body, saying:

"The Clan Elder said your injuries are severe. We suggest you lie down and don’t move around."

The man who spoke was a little nervous. Based on all the information he had gathered, the person before him was a man who could kill without batting an eye.

By now,

the rumors about Su Xing had spread like wildfire.

Although,

aside from the Clan Elder and Yi, no one else had seen this lifesaving benefactor, that didn’t stop them from engaging in "reasonable" fantasies and speculation about him.

As a result,

all sorts of stories about Su Xing were being told.

But,

every rumor had one thing in common:

this man definitely killed without batting an eye.

Otherwise, how could he have forced back someone as terrifyingly powerful as Li Qing?

Therefore,

when the two of them saw Su Xing for the first time, their hearts were pounding. Su Xing had a clean appearance and didn’t look like a crazed killer at all, but rumors were a fearsome thing, and neither of them had any intention of speaking out of turn.

"Didn’t your Clan Elder say I should go see him once I’m fine? I’m fine now. Please, lead the way."

Su Xing said slowly.

The two men glanced at each other, seemingly trying to decide what to do. But after thinking it over, they concluded that since he had personally made the request, they had no reason to refuse. So they nodded and said:

"The Liu Clan Elder did indeed say that. If you’re ready, Senior, then please come with us to the main building to see him."

"Mm."

Su Xing nodded and got out of bed. Perhaps because he hadn’t walked for a few days, his legs felt weak and unsteady the moment his feet touched the floor, but they returned to normal as soon as he stood up properly.

"Lead the way."

Su Xing said softly after steadying himself, patting one of the men on the shoulder.

"Yes!"

The man who had been patted exclaimed immediately.

Su Xing

was a living legend in the tribe. Even though no one knew his name, everyone knew who he was.

Therefore,

such a mysterious figure

naturally attracted all sorts of gossip and curiosity.

This man was no exception.

As one of the few who had seen Su Xing,

and who had even been patted on the shoulder by Su Xing himself,

he felt

that he could brag about this for a long time to come.

Thus, his eyes were filled with excitement, shining as brilliantly as if a galaxy had descended into them.

Soon,

Su Xing arrived at the main building.

He had barely encountered anyone along the way.

This was likely because it was already very late when Su Xing had woken up.

Other than a few gate guards,

almost no one saw him.

KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK! KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK!

The man leading the way went up to the door first, knocked gently, and asked:

"Elder Liu, are you asleep?"

"I’ve brought the benefactor."

’Benefactor...’

Su Xing found the title a bit strange, but he didn’t correct it. After all, it was the truth.

"Hmm?"

A voice came from inside the building.

The door swung open abruptly, and Elder Liu’s aged face came into Su Xing’s view. When he saw that it was indeed the youthful-looking Su Xing, he said hurriedly:

"Why have you come right after waking up?"

"Quick, please come in."

Su Xing didn’t stand on ceremony and strode right inside. After he entered, Elder Liu glanced at the two guards and asked in a very friendly manner:

"Would you two like to come in?"

"N-no, we shouldn’t."

The two guards glanced at each other and quickly shook their heads, backing away as they did so until they disappeared from sight.

It wasn’t that they didn’t want to go in;

they simply didn’t have the status.

People from ancient times

had a very strong sense of rank and station.

Even if they wanted to enter, they would feign reluctance, feeling they were not qualified.

After watching the two guards leave,

Elder Liu slowly closed the door. When he turned back, he saw that Su Xing had already found a seat, showing none of the hesitance of a guest.

"Hehe."

"Did you rest well, Senior?" Elder Liu asked with a gentle smile.

"Not bad."

Su Xing nodded and asked, "Elder Liu, I’d like to ask you something."
