Swordsmanship Coach: Kill with One Slash

Chapter 281: Chapter 186: Sudden Change (2)

The chances of unexpectedly receiving an inheritance weren’t exactly slim, so it was understandable. Thus, Su Xing just nodded and said,

"Go on, Elder Li."

"Mm."

"The inheritance he obtained seems to be related to Spiritual Power, so he established a small Secret Realm at the Summer Resort."

"In the beginning, the Secret Realm was too small, so the members of the special organization sent to investigate didn’t notice anything wrong. Even if they sensed something was slightly off, they couldn’t tell it was a Secret Realm."

"However..."

"As the special organization left him unchecked, he began absorbing the inheritance faster and faster. His Secret Realm expanded along with him, eventually covering the entire Summer Resort and even Beilong Street below the resort."

Li Longxuan said.

Hearing this,

Su Xing instantly understood.

He knew how to solve the problem. ’It’s simple. All we have to do is kill this person, and everything will resolve itself. And since Li Longxuan, Cang City’s strongest, is standing right here, it shouldn’t be up to me to act.’

Whether it was because Li Longxuan could read his mind or because his expression was just that obvious, Li Longxuan simply smiled and said,

"Unfortunately."

"I cannot act this time."

"..."

"What do you mean?"

Su Xing asked, stunned.

But as if he had predicted Su Xing would ask, Li Longxuan simply stood up, pointed in the direction of the Spirit Realm, and said preemptively,

"Because I still need to watch over this place."

"Although the matter in Cang City is urgent, if this place is breached by those things from the Spirit Realm due to a shortage of manpower, it would be an even greater disaster for Cang City."

"..."

Su Xing fell silent for a moment.

’Li Longxuan is right, of course. The Spirit Realm is a critically important area, no matter how you look at it. But this situation in Cang City is also going to be extremely difficult to handle.’

After all,

an enemy who possessed his very own Secret Realm...

How could he possibly be easy to deal with?

"..."

"I understand."

Li Longxuan’s words didn’t faze Su Xing. He had always been one to rely on his own strength. Besides, his younger brother was involved in this. He had to go, like it or not. There was no other choice.

"Haha." Seeing Su Xing’s expression gradually turn serious, Li Longxuan suddenly burst out laughing and quickly said, "Don’t you worry. How could I possibly send someone I have high hopes for to their death?"

"The guy’s name is Lu Yihao. He’s forty-four years old and used to work at the Dragon Heaven Building. He was just a regular employee, so he didn’t know about the Spiritual Sect’s business. Later, after everyone at the Dragon Heaven Building was wiped out, he was left jobless."

At this point, Li Longxuan paused.

"He disappeared for a long time after that. According to an elderly relative of his, when he finally reappeared, he was a completely different person. We suspect that’s when he received the inheritance."

"His strength should be around Tier 7. But since his power was artificially boosted by the inheritance, it’s hard to say what his actual combat ability is like. Still, he absolutely shouldn’t be underestimated."

’Tier 7...’

’To be honest,’ he thought, ’he wouldn’t be a match for an Extraordinary Being who had painstakingly cultivated their way to Tier 7. But an Extraordinary Being who had leaped from being an ordinary person to Tier 7 by relying on an external force? Su Xing was confident he had a fighting chance.’

At the very least,

Su Xing was certain he wouldn’t be in any danger.

Hearing this, Su Xing felt the immense pressure he’d been under lighten considerably. Now, he only had to worry about what kind of troublesome abilities the man might have gained from the inheritance.

"Hm?"

Li Longxuan had been about to say more, but seeing Su Xing’s aura suddenly calm down, he asked with some surprise,

"Aren’t you worried about a Tier 7 opponent?"

"Heh..."

"It’s nothing but borrowed scraps."

Su Xing said coolly, "If there’s nothing else, I’m heading out."

"Confidence is a good thing."

Li Longxuan nodded.

"Just know that he hasn’t completely absorbed the inheritance yet, so his strength might grow even greater. Also, the members of the special organization have been unable to find his location. He might have other secrets. You must be careful."

"I know."

"I’ll definitely be careful."

Su Xing nodded.

After all,

as the saying goes, a lion uses its full strength even to hunt a rabbit.

This was even more true when facing a Tier 7 Extraordinary Being. He was by no means a reckless or arrogant man.

"Um..."

"There’s something I’d like your help with."

Li Longxuan said after a moment of thought.

"What is it?"

Su Xing didn’t refuse. Though he had already started to leave, he immediately turned back. Li Longxuan had helped him so much; helping him with one thing was no problem at all.

At first,

Su Xing thought it would be about Li Yu.

For example,

something like asking him to help bring Li Yu back.

However,

the matter Li Longxuan brought up,

was completely different from what Su Xing had expected.

"Um..."

"I have an old comrade. He used to be in the special organization, but he resigned later on."

A thoughtful look crossed Li Longxuan’s face, as if he were lost in memories of the past.

"Anyway, I recently heard he came to Cang City and seems to have run into some trouble. If you can, please help him out for me."

"I’m not too clear on the specifics. After you’ve resolved the Beilong Street matter, you can ask around nearby. He’s not far from that area."

"That’s it?"

Su Xing asked. For some reason, he felt that Li Longxuan still had something left unsaid. Sure enough, Li Longxuan paused for a moment and continued, "If you can, don’t reveal that I was the one who asked you to do this."

"Alright."

Su Xing could tell there was a story between Li Longxuan and this old comrade, but he knew if the man wasn’t talking, it was because he didn’t want to. So, instead of prying, he just asked, "What’s your comrade’s name, Elder Li?"

"After the war, he went over to the Lin City area and changed his name to Tong An."

Li Longxuan thought for a moment and added,

"Since coming to Cang City, he’s been staying at the Binjiang Inn. The inn is famous in Cang City, and it’s the only one near Beilong Street. you should be able to find it just by asking around."

"Okay."

Su Xing agreed.

...

Without hesitation, Su Xing set off at once.

According to Li Longxuan’s description, Su Yu and the others weren’t in immediate danger, as they hadn’t yet officially clashed with the Extraordinary Being.

But the Secret Realm was expanding bit by bit, which meant more and more ordinary people would fall victim. The matter couldn’t be delayed any longer.

However,

while Su Xing was on his way,

he suddenly received a frantic phone call from Lu Anning.

"Hello?"

"I was just on my way to take care of—"

Before Su Xing could finish, Lu Anning’s urgent voice burst from the phone’s receiver. "Coach Su!"

"My friend... she’s... she’s missing!"

"Missing? Since when?"

Su Xing felt it was just one thing after another, sending ripples through his once-calm heart as he quickly asked.

"Just today!"

"I just saw her yesterday!"

Lu Anning said anxiously.

"Have you gone looking for her? I can help look for her, too."

Su Xing said.

"Of course! I went to look for her right away, but I found nothing at all."

"Not only that, everyone who went with her to the Summer Resort is also gone. Do you think it’s possible they went back to the Summer Resort?"

Lu Anning asked.

"It’s possible, but..."

Su Xing hesitated. He wasn’t sure if he should tell Lu Anning everything. Although she possessed considerable strength, she was, at the end of the day, just a regular high school girl. Frankly, Su Xing didn’t want to drag her into this mess.

But,

Lu Anning spoke first.

"I know. A thick fog has started to spread over the Summer Resort, and the auras of Extraordinary Beings are everywhere. Something big is about to happen there, right?"
