Swordsmanship Coach: Kill with One Slash

Chapter 303: Chapter 197: Killing

"The big fish has taken the bait. Time for us to stretch our legs."

The words had barely faded when the monster in human skin rubbed his palms together. His eyes narrowed as he said in a hoarse voice, "Yes."

Then, a flash of crimson suddenly appeared in his right hand. The light was blindingly bright, looking from a distance like a ball floating in midair. It seemed to be some sort of energy mass, but the instant it appeared, he crushed it in his palm.

CRACK... CRACK... CRACK. The sound of something continuously cracking echoed from all sides of the deep pit.

"..."

Li Yu sensed it instantly. At first, he didn’t realize what the sounds meant, but he quickly understood what it was: a special Sequence!

That monster...

...actually possessed the power of a Sequence.

’This is simply inconceivable.’

"Elder Li, what is this?!"

one of the organization members roared.

"It’s ’Collapse’! Everyone, be careful! Don’t let the Sequence touch you!"

Li Yu said calmly.

Li Yu was calm, but the others couldn’t be. When they heard the energy was from the ’Collapse’ Sequence, they instantly realized their group had fallen into a trap.

Because...

Traces of Collapse energy permeated every corner of the deep pit. This couldn’t have been cast on the spot; the enemy had clearly prepared this in advance to trap them here.

"Damn it!"

the man cursed.

The incessant cracking sound grated on his nerves. He suddenly realized that all the clues they’d found had been deliberately planted by the enemy, all to lure them to this very spot.

Soon,

the stone walls on all sides began to crumble.

Tendrils of Collapse energy surged from all directions toward Li Yu and his team in the center, moving at an unimaginable speed.

In reality,

as a Tier Six Sequencer,

Li Yu didn’t need to be overly concerned with such an indirect attack. A method like this posed no real threat to him.

But it was a different story for the Tier Four Sequencers. Faced with such a terrifying Sequence, if they were so much as touched by the Collapse energy, they would be severely injured at the very least.

Those who were unlucky,

or simply weaker,

might be torn to shreds on the spot.

And judging by the trap the enemy had laid, dodging this attack was nigh impossible.

And so,

within a few short seconds,

half of the dozen or so people Li Yu had brought with him were on the ground, missing arms or legs. Fortunately, they were still alive. For Extraordinary Beings, as long as there was life, even lost limbs could be restored.

"..."

Li Yu never imagined he would fall for the enemy’s scheme so easily. But he had no time to dwell on it and simply shouted:

"Let’s find cover! Everyone, follow me!"

Though Li Yu was immune to the threat of Collapse, he was in no state to be called ’fine’. So many of his comrades had been injured under his command, and the psychological torment was enough to rival any physical agony.

His face was pale. The exploding stone walls had kicked up dust everywhere, obscuring his vision. He even had a faint ringing in his ears.

To put it mildly,

their situation was not good.

Li Yu immediately used his Sequence energy to erect a pitch-black, circular force field, shielding everyone inside.

"Is everyone alright?"

He then scanned his injured teammates. Several were missing one or two limbs, lying on the ground like rag dolls. Others, while whole, were covered in dust and grime.

"Don’t panic. We’ve all faced danger before, and we can get through this time as well. The organization will not treat you unfairly."

Li Yu encouraged them. "Stay by my side!"

He maintained the force field, leading everyone to an area where the Collapse energy wasn’t as dense before stopping. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to leave the pit entirely; Li Yu just knew that if they tried, they would be forced into an immediate battle with the enemy.

’No.’

’They need some time to recover.’

"Elder Li, what do we do now?"

A member who had been lucky enough to escape injury stood beside Li Yu, looking at him anxiously as he asked the question.

"..."

"Rest up for now. We’ll look for a chance to break out."

Li Yu’s voice was cold. His eyes constantly swept over their surroundings, trying to find a viable escape route.

However, just at that moment,

a wave of sound washed over them—a chaotic mix of human battle cries and the hoarse roars of monsters.

"Kill them!!!"

They hadn’t noticed anyone else in the pit before. Already wounded and without time to rest, they now had to face an aggressive new enemy. It was like adding insult to injury.

After all, besides Li Yu, his team was wounded and maimed. Their opponents, on the other hand, were at full strength. It was obvious at a glance who had the upper hand.

Not to mention,

they were completely outmatched in terms of numbers.

Li Yu’s group numbered fifteen or sixteen people at most, while the enemy seemed to number over a hundred. The disparity was staggering, and their situation had never been more dire.

"..."

He watched the humans and assorted monsters charging from the distance. He didn’t know where these humans came from or why they had sided with the master of this Secret Realm, but he could perceive their strength with perfect clarity.
