Swordsmanship Coach: Kill with One Slash

Chapter 286: Chapter 188: Dusk Crow (3)

"A mountain spirit, draped in fragrant flowers... I drink from stone springs, shaded by pine and cypress..."

"You long for me, yet you tarry and wait..."

’Singing opera in a place like this?’

Su Xing wondered.

"This... this feels a bit like a scene from a horror movie..."

Lu Anning said hesitantly.

"I’m going to go check it out."

"Lu, you stay here. Don’t wander off."

Su Xing said after a moment of thought.

He wasn’t sure what lay ahead.

It might be a ghost like Hanhan, or it could be an enemy. Of course, there was also the chance it was just a tourist or some vlogger.

In any case,

he didn’t want Lu to follow him into danger.

But Su Xing had only taken a few steps before he realized Lu Anning was following closely behind. She was clearly a little scared, so she kept quiet.

Soon,

they drew near.

They suddenly discovered that it wasn’t just one woman in that direction, but three men surrounding her.

All three men bore the distinct marks of flowing mist energy. Their memories had clearly been altered; that was the only reason they would dare surround a seemingly helpless woman in a place like this.

Having met Hanhan before,

Su Xing could immediately tell this woman was a living person.

"They’re all alive,"

Su Xing said with certainty.

"Then what should we do?"

Lu Anning was hesitant.

"Haha, damn, she’s hot! Way better than the girls we pay two or three grand for. If we weren’t out here, we’d never get a chance like this."

"Hehe, doesn’t that just mean we’re lucky?"

"You said it! Hey, lady, turn around and let us get a look at you."

Hearing the men’s words,

Lu Anning’s expression grew cold.

She couldn’t believe that in this day and age, something like this could still happen. Even if the three men were influenced by the mist, it was completely unacceptable. Just as she was about to make a move, Su Xing grabbed her arm.

"Not yet. Let’s just watch."

"Thunder rumbles, the rain falls dark... Apes shriek, gibbons cry in the night..."

"The wind sighs, the trees all rustle... I think of my lord, my sorrow in vain..."

"I told you to turn around, didn’t you hear me?!"

"Gentlemen, do you truly wish to see me?"

"Haha, I was starting to think she was deaf! But she can hear after all! Well then, how about you make us happy!"

Just then,

Lu Anning pulled her arm free. "Aren’t we going to help?" she whispered, clearly upset.

"..."

To be honest,

Su Xing wasn’t the type to meddle.

He didn’t possess the same sense of justice as young people of this era, like Lu Anning and Xiao Yu.

However,

his intuition told him,

this woman was anything but simple.

Besides...

He had made a promise to Hanhan. Even though she was dead, he had given his word, and he wasn’t about to break it.

"Fine,"

Su Xing said with a nod.

’Besides, saving her now might get me some information,’ he thought.

"What do you three think you’re doing?!"

Lu Anning was the first to jump out, and Su Xing immediately followed, appearing a step in front of her.

"Huh? Someone’s trying to play the hero out here?"

"Well, well, look what we have here. Another little chick."

Before the three could mock them further, the woman with her back to them spoke again:

"Gentlemen, since you’re so interested in me, why turn around to speak with another girl?"

"Hahaha!"

"The lady has a point."

"It’s just that you won’t turn around. You want us to push you down before we get a look?"

"..."

For some reason, Su Xing suddenly had a very bad feeling. The current situation just felt wrong.

Lu Anning wasn’t slow on the uptake, either.

She clearly noticed that the woman’s attitude towards them seemed off.

This wasn’t the reaction of someone being harassed who sees help arrive. It was more like... she was afraid her harassers would be driven away.

Just then,

a shrill crow’s caw echoed out.

CAW— CAW—

"..."

"That crow’s caw is so creepy."

"Bro, I’m getting a bad feeling about this..."

The three men had clearly noticed it too.

At the same time,

Su Xing’s pupils suddenly contracted.

He felt an extremely terrifying aura erupt from the woman.

She turned around,

cradling a pitch-black crow in her hands.

Her face was covered by a mask, her true features completely hidden.

"You..."

the three men stammered.

The three of them were clearly not Extraordinary Beings; the mist had only made them much more hot-tempered. But now, they immediately realized this woman was someone they couldn’t afford to provoke.

"A pity. The three of you are too ugly, not even as good as this crow in my hands. I don’t think I’ll be taking you as my puppets. However, the two behind you are a bit more interesting."

As she said this,

the Black Sword immediately materialized in Su Xing’s hand.

But the woman showed no intention of fighting Su Xing. She simply walked straight past him, with no plan to attack.

"The young man was willing to help me, and I will naturally remember this kindness."

"It’s just that..."

"...not everyone needs help, you see."

As her words faded,

her figure suddenly vanished.

At the same time, the three harassers stood frozen in place.

Su Xing gave one of them a light touch.

THUD!

The sound repeated twice more as all three bodies collapsed to the ground.
