Swordsmanship Coach: Kill with One Slash

Chapter 304: Chapter 197: Sesshō (Part 2)

This wave contained over a hundred of them, including one Tier Six monster. Li Yu slowly clenched his fists, his gaze growing resolute.

’Things have come to this. There’s no escape.’

The only option was to fight to the death!

...

...

At the very top of the deep pit, the middle-aged man and the monster in human skin watched the scene below as if enjoying a good show. The monster, seemingly unable to contain its excitement, shivered and said to the man beside it:

"I should go down there and get my hands dirty."

"I’ll leave things here to you."

The man seemed unfazed. He simply nodded, waved his hand dismissively, and said nonchalantly:

"Go on, Little Demon. Go enjoy this exhilarating slaughter. This is the first step in our grand conquest, and it certainly won’t be the last."

"Heh."

"Even though you’ve switched bodies, you still talk the same way. It’s just as grating as ever."

The monster said with a laugh.

Then, he simply pitched forward and plummeted down.

BANG!

A torrent of scorching flames erupted, instantly engulfing his entire body. He spread his arms, and fiery red wings began to sprout, replacing his human limbs.

WHOOSH!

The sound of flapping wings suddenly echoed.

A bird-man had appeared out of nowhere, and it shot down toward Li Yu.

Li Yu’s expression changed in an instant. As a Tier Six Sequencer, his perception was incredibly sharp, and he immediately sensed the direction of the bird-man’s attack.

’Danger!’

’It’s like an alarm bell blaring in my mind!’

The color drained from Li Yu’s face!

Even knowing he was outmatched, he couldn’t afford to hesitate. His hands moved without pause as black Sequence Energy, like a third arm, rapidly condensed into a dark claw.

At the same time, the unique aura of a Tier Six began to rise from him.

Li Yu was certain of it.

’Even though it’s a product of the Secret Realm, it somehow also possesses the power of a Tier Six in the Extraordinary Realm. And it’s the strongest Tier Six Transcendent I’ve ever encountered.’

The melee was about to explode! The very next second promised a scene of countless rolling heads, shattered monsters, and blossoms of grotesque, bloody flowers!

However, at that very moment,

The immense aura of a blade suddenly erupted!

For a single instant, everyone and everything inside the pit, outside the pit—every person, every monster, every living creature within the Secret Realm—paused. Regardless of what they were doing, their movements seemed to freeze for a moment, as if awaiting the descent of a Sword God.

HUM!!!!

A sharp hum of a blade rang out between heaven and earth,

striking fear into countless hearts!

An embodiment of blade intent, like a flash of white light, streaked across the sky before crashing directly into the center of the pit.

BOOM!!!

Any human or beast in the central area was nearly annihilated. The few who survived were on their last breath, unable to hold on for much longer.

The white light dissipated,

revealing the figure of Li Longxuan.

His hands hung naturally at his sides. In his right hand, he held a strangely shaped longsword, as tall as half a man. It was a weapon forged specially for him by a special organization, named "Slaughter."

He just stood there, and it felt as though all his enemies couldn’t breathe. An irrepressible urge to kneel in submission welled up within their hearts. This was Li Longxuan’s unique blade aura—an aura of absolute supremacy.

Yes,

Li Longxuan had arrived.

A true Tier Eight Transcendent. With his power, he could slaughter everyone present without breaking a sweat.

This was overwhelming power. This was the so-called chasm between heaven and earth.

Logically, with this sudden turn of events, it should have been the middle-aged man at the top’s turn to panic.

But he remained standing there, perfectly calm. He showed no reaction whatsoever to the deaths of his subordinates.

"Ha. To think this era still has someone so formidable. A pity... I haven’t been in this body for long. I’m in no condition to fight you."

The man’s tone was tinged with amusement.

He seemed to feel no fear or any other emotion at Li Longxuan’s appearance. If that was the case, he must have an ace up his sleeve. And the only thing that could stop a Tier Eight Transcendent was another Tier Eight Transcendent.

In truth, Su Xing and the others had overlooked one crucial point in their investigation of this Secret Realm.

And that was...

Why were those who had already died able to turn into monsters and be resurrected?

Did the monsters really kill them and then replace them, or did they die and then turn into monsters?

"Heh heh... If I recall correctly, the Death Monarch is hidden here, isn’t he? You may have been dead for thousands of years, but let your good brother here borrow your corpse for a little while."

Sure enough,

as his words faded,

the atmosphere in the entire pit began to change.

A bleak, murderous aura, carried on a desolate autumn wind, wafted through every corner of the pit. The raw killing intent was like a sharpened blade, poised to slit the throat of everyone present.

Li Longxuan slowly raised his head. His gaze shifted upward, and he saw a mysterious old man who had appeared out of nowhere.

The old man’s face was ashen, like a corpse. Despite his immense power, his body, having been buried for far too long, showed unavoidable signs of decay.

But now,

this man who should have been devoid of life,

suddenly opened his eyes. They were gray, and they darted left and right as he took in the current situation.

"..."

"Sick Monarch, this is the second time."

The awakened old man’s first words were laced with intense annoyance. He looked up at the middle-aged man and spoke slowly.

"Haha, you know my answer."

The man called the Sick Monarch laughed heartily. In life, they had both been paragons among the Celestial Beings. But now, he had successfully reincarnated, and while his power had yet to return to Tier Eight, the Death Monarch was long dead. As such, the Sick Monarch held a certain disdain for him now.

"..."

"This is the last time."

The Death Monarch said with a sigh.

The blade aura around Li Longxuan grew even more turbulent, yet his expression remained as calm and imperturbable as ever.

Li Longxuan truly hadn’t expected a minor Secret Realm to be connected to Celestial Beings, let alone a Tier Eight Celestial Being. He had only come because he’d sensed his son was in danger.

But Li Longxuan never cared about his opponent’s strength. In fact, the stronger the opponent, the greater the thrill of the kill.

"Heh..."

"Now this is getting interesting."

Li Longxuan let out a light laugh.

Anyone who reached his level was supremely confident. Why would he start doubting himself just because another Tier Eight had shown up?

"You want to go first?"

the Death Monarch said, intrigued.

As he was revived, the withered look of his body gradually faded away. In his place stood a young, white-haired man. He, too, wielded blades—a matching pair, one long and one short.

Li Longxuan was unfazed. His voice boomed:

"Come!"

Immediately after,

Li Longxuan unleashed a strike.

It was like a chef chopping vegetables—fast and precise, but with no discernible aura, as if swung by a common man.

But the next moment!

HUM!!!

The hum of a blade instantly echoed across the heavens!

"Come!!!"

The Death Monarch let out a wild roar of his own. He slashed out with his twin blades, one long and one short, their killing intent so dense it was nearly tangible!

The two had yet to make contact, but the sound of clashing steel already rang through the air.

It was clear,

they were evenly matched.

Both were Tier Eight. And while one was a Sequencer and the other a Celestial Being, they were both masters of the blade. It was impossible to predict who would emerge victorious.

But...

For Li Yu,

this was not good news at all.

With Li Longxuan tied up by the Death Monarch, there was no one left to back them up. This meant their situation had once again become perilous.

To put it bluntly,

the situation was looking grim.

These people and beasts couldn’t lay a finger on Li Longxuan, but that didn’t mean they couldn’t take Li Yu’s life. Everyone knew that at this stage, they needed someone to appear who could turn the tide.
