Swordsmanship Coach: Kill with One Slash

Chapter 290: Chapter 190: Secret Realm Situation (2)

Su Xing asked.

"Heh, you’re not scared at all."

Lu An found this somewhat amusing. He pointed at Su Yu, shook his head, and said as he walked back, "You should ask your brother."

"Bro, how could you...?"

Su Yu didn’t finish, but Su Xing immediately understood what his brother meant. He smiled and said:

"I reached an understanding with Elder Li, so I don’t need to be as cautious as before. Besides, I’m here to rescue you and Zhao Xue. Hiding my identity would only complicate things."

Indeed,

everyone here was already on edge like a flock of startled birds.

Another mysterious stranger showing up would only make matters worse.

For Su Xing,

revealing his identity directly

might actually make things easier.

"Why did the organization suddenly assign you to come here?"

Su Xing asked. While members couldn’t refuse the organization’s assignments, there was always a reason behind their personnel arrangements.

"Hmm..."

"It’s a bit complicated."

Su Yu thought for a moment before explaining.

Apparently, ever since the fog appeared in the Summer Resort area, the special organization quickly discovered the anomaly here, thanks to Zhao Xue’s report and various investigations.

Soon,

after compiling and analyzing the information,

the special organization concluded that a Secret Realm of an unknown level was about to appear here.

Secret Realms. Since the resurgence of Spiritual Qi, this was definitely not the first appearance of a Secret Realm, so the special organization had managed to draw some conclusions.

The appearance of every Secret Realm is accompanied by special phenomena, and they contain countless resources and endless dangers.

Therefore, the organization’s policy regarding Secret Realms had always been one-way: you could go in, but you couldn’t come out. Unless you were a member specifically dispatched by the organization, any other freelance Extraordinary Being who entered a Secret Realm couldn’t expect to leave.

Unless,

the Secret Realm was dispelled.

Or your power was so great that the special organization never even noticed your presence.

However, this restriction didn’t apply to members of the special organization. That’s why a good friend of Su Yu’s got some ideas about this suddenly appearing Secret Realm and volunteered to go.

Of course,

considering the dangers of a newly formed Secret Realm,

he wasn’t stupid enough to charge in alone. Instead, he requested a team from the organization to go with him. Su Yu was one of them. He had a good relationship with his friend and was also eager to become stronger, so he agreed to it.

But,

to their surprise,

the danger here far exceeded their predictions. They encountered all sorts of strange things right after entering, and many people died. Then they just ended up trapped here.

"Strange things?"

"People can die here?"

Su Xing asked, a bit confused.

He had also encountered some strange things, but nothing fatal had happened. Both Hanhan and that woman seemed to have been quite courteous to him.

"..."

Hearing his brother’s words, Su Yu was stunned for a moment, then asked, speechless:

"Bro..."

"Did you really not encounter anything strange on your way here?"

"Of course I did."

"But they weren’t exactly dangerous."

Su Xing thought of Hanhan and that woman.

’Hanhan seemed completely non-aggressive. The other woman was certainly dangerous, but she didn’t seem to be a creature of this Secret Realm, nor did she show any intention of attacking me.’

So, Su Xing didn’t mention the other woman, only telling Su Yu about Hanhan’s existence.

"..."

Su Yu’s eyelid couldn’t help but twitch. He finally let out a heavy breath and said, "To be honest, bro, we also heard that crying sound when we came in, but she never told us anything about her situation."

"Oh?"

"Then what happened to you?"

Su Xing instantly understood what Su Yu meant.

Clearly,

they had also encountered Hanhan,

but their experience was completely different from his own.

"She attacked us on sight."

"Her power was a bit stronger than Tier Four Peak, but not quite at the fifth tier. We lost some people, but we managed to get through."

Su Yu said, his expression grim.

From Su Xing’s perspective, the little girl named Hanhan was just a poor girl who had died mysteriously. But in the eyes of Su Yu and the others, she was a demon who would start a massacre at the slightest provocation.

In the first encounter, she brutally killed a Sequencer with a weaker physique. According to Su Yu’s description, she even transformed into a monster, grabbed a Tier Three Sequencer, and bit his head clean off.

If Su Yu hadn’t been so strong, and if the terrifying aura released by his Judgment Sequence hadn’t completely suppressed Hanhan, even more people would have died.

It couldn’t be helped. The Sequencers who came this time were all Tier Four, and it was indeed difficult to deal with an enemy stronger than themselves.

"..."

’So there was such a difference.’

Su Xing mused with a sense of wonder.

He suddenly remembered the thing he had encountered outside the door. It had dissipated the moment it sensed him. Hanhan’s attitude toward him was also different from how she treated others. ’Perhaps it’s all related.’

"Bro."

"That thing outside just now, did you really not see it?"

Su Yu asked in a low voice.

Although Su Xing said he hadn’t seen anything, Su Yu knew his brother’s capabilities. His perception was so sharp that not even machines could match his precision. Perhaps Su Xing was intentionally hiding something.

"I really didn’t see it."

Su Xing shook his head. "Lu, did you see anything?"

Lu Anning, who had been standing silently by the side, also shook her head. "I didn’t notice anything at all. The fog is just too thick."

"Yeah."

"Same here."

Su Xing agreed again.

"But, even though I didn’t see it, my intuition sensed it. It seemed like... I can’t say for sure, but it felt like a human."

Su Xing had been quite sure at first, but when he first saw Hanhan, he had also thought she was just an ordinary child. It was only later that he realized something was off about her. Therefore, this person might not necessarily be a human either.

"Those things..."

Su Yu hesitated for a moment, then said:

"They seem to love pretending to be human, and you can’t tell if they’re real humans using Extraordinary means. But the moment you give them a chance to kill you, they’ll strike without hesitation and finish you off."

Su Yu and his group,

had encountered many things since arriving here.

So they had managed to gather some information and experience.

"Where’s Li Yu? Li Longxuan told me that Li Yu should have brought people here as well."

Su Xing said, scanning the surroundings.

Given how Li Longxuan had treated him, Su Xing naturally didn’t want to see his son die for nothing if he could help it.

Even though Li Yu had reached the fifth tier, in this unknown environment, who could say for sure that nothing would happen to him?

"He went out."

"He and a few other Sequencers went out this morning. They said they were going to scout the nearby area, but they haven’t come back yet."

Su Yu said.

"Um... Su, have you seen Zhao Xue?"

Lu Anning asked hesitantly.

She had heard Su Yu say that the monsters liked to pretend to be human, and she suddenly remembered how Zhao Xue’s memories had changed later on, yet she still insisted on maintaining her old habits. A chill suddenly ran down her spine.

"Zhao Xue?"

Su Yu paused, then asked, "Sister Lu, is she your friend? I remember her sitting over in that direction."

Su Yu pointed in one direction. Zhao Xue, seeming to hear a familiar voice call her name, stood up from the crowd.

She clearly saw Lu Anning, and an excited expression appeared on her face. Seeing Zhao Xue’s reaction, Lu Anning calmed down a bit. Although Zhao Xue’s personality had changed for various reasons, she probably hadn’t inhaled too much fog and hadn’t gone completely to the extreme.

"Xue, come here!"

Lu Anning waved her hand.
