Swordsmanship Coach: Kill with One Slash

Chapter 295: Chapter 193: Someone Under the Bed

"Mm."

Hearing Su Xing’s decision, Lu Anning nodded and let out a grunt of agreement.

Su Xing glanced at the darkening sky, a sense of unease rising within him. He didn’t say much, simply turning and walking in the direction of the Summer Resort.

Although Su Xing had gathered a lot of information,

The Summer Resort was clearly the source of the biggest problem.

However,

Su Yu was still inside, after all.

Of all the people Su Xing wanted to protect, Su Yu was undoubtedly his top priority. After him, if possible, he naturally wanted Li Yu and Zhao Xue to make it out alive as well.

Although the monster had been unwilling to answer whether Zhao Xue was alive, that didn’t mean she was dead. She might be hidden somewhere. He would have to find a way to confirm it.

The sky grew progressively darker, and just before night fell completely, Su Xing and Lu Anning finally made it back to the Summer Resort.

When Su Xing arrived for the second time, the Extraordinary Beings and ordinary people staying there all looked surprised—a stark contrast to the fear on their faces when they had first seen him.

This was especially true for the members of the special organization. Seeing Su Xing return to the Summer Resort completely safe and sound, the first thought that popped into their heads was, ’How is his luck that good?!’

Because,

Su Xing had no signs of battle on him at all.

It was simply unbelievable, something that couldn’t be explained away by superior combat prowess. After all, no matter how powerful you were, a fight was bound to leave a mark. But Su Xing was completely spotless, without a single trace.

And yet... when they went out, they encountered a freakishly strong monster practically every few steps. This... this was just too strange.

Of course it was strange. No one could have guessed that the monsters in this Secret Realm were actually afraid of Su Xing. Not even Su Xing himself understood it, which was why he bore no traces of a fight.

The members of the special organization were not stupid. If Su Xing had shown even the slightest trace of a fight, they could have easily deduced that their organization’s investigation had been flawed all along and that he was definitely an Extraordinary Being. But as it stood, they could only chalk it up to him having incredible luck.

Still,

Su Yu’s older brother had returned safely,

And that was certainly something to be happy about.

As a result, the atmosphere in the Summer Resort seemed to ease up. Many people even took the initiative to approach Su Xing and start a conversation, since they had heard from the members of the special organization that this man, Su Xing, was an ordinary person just like them.

Since he was an ordinary person,

there was no longer a gap between them.

The other ordinary people now felt bold enough to approach and get acquainted with Su Xing.

Su Xing, for his part, put on no airs and chatted with them easily, learning many of their names and some information about them in the process.

However,

what concerned Su Xing somewhat was that

Li Yu and the group he had led out still hadn’t returned by nightfall. Many in the special organization wanted to go out and search for them.

After all, as the son of Li Longxuan, Li Yu was undeniably important to the organization. However, to avoid heavy casualties by going out after dark, the proposal was ultimately rejected.

Soon,

it was nine o’clock at night.

Most people had left the main hall of the Summer Resort and returned to their rooms. Su Xing and Lu Anning, being new arrivals without a room, naturally remained behind.

Of course,

Su Yu and some members of the special organization on night watch also stayed.

Su Yu stayed behind not only because Su Xing was his brother, but also likely because he trusted him and felt that staying by his side was the safest place to be.

As for the members on night watch, they were simply worried that Su Xing, as Su Yu’s brother, might be in danger if he stayed in the hall. Even if he had managed to return from the outside, they figured he would still need protection if he wasn’t strong enough.

After all, the danger level in a Secret Realm skyrocketed at night. All sorts of bizarre threats could appear, and without a night watch, dealing with them would be extremely difficult.

Even though, according to their experience,

the monsters in the Secret Realm couldn’t enter the Summer Resort directly, they would try various methods to trick the people inside into opening the doors for them.

What’s more, Su Xing had snapped off the handle of the main door. Now, the monsters outside might be able to get in without anyone needing to open it for them.

Therefore,

there were many more people on night watch than usual.

Many people were unsure how much longer their group could remain here in safety.

However,

this night was exceptionally quiet.

There were none of the usual eerie struggles and horror-movie-like disturbances. It was as peaceful and ordinary as a night spent gazing at the moon from a rocking chair in the countryside. Nothing happened at all.

Even the members of the special organization, whose nerves had been stretched taut for so long, finally began to relax. This lasted until two or three in the morning.

"AHH!"

A shrill woman’s scream suddenly rang out from within the resort. The late-night shriek gave everyone goosebumps and made the color drain from their faces.

Because,

this scream didn’t come from outside.

It had come from within the Summer Resort—from upstairs.

"What’s going on?"

A member of the special organization shot to his feet, his nerves, which had just begun to relax, tensing up all over again. He glanced at the people around him and immediately began to speak:
