Swordsmanship Coach: Kill with One Slash

Chapter 305: Chapter 198: Making a Move

Furious battles had erupted inside the deep pit. Extraordinary Beings and monsters alike had begun a life-and-death struggle, each trying to utterly annihilate the other. But outside the pit, things were completely different.

While not safe,

it wasn’t nearly as perilous.

"Watch out!"

Hearing the sound of explosions and shattering from within, a member of the special organization immediately tackled Su Xing, pinning him to the ground to shield him from harm.

His training as a member of the special organization had prepared him for this. The moment the shockwave hit, he reacted instantly and correctly.

Protecting civilians.

It was an instinct for every member of the organization.

Since Su Xing was, on the surface, the only ordinary person there, the man acted without hesitation, protecting him even without knowing why he was present.

"Are you two okay?"

Another member of the special organization recovered from the shockwave and hurried over, only to find his teammate pinning Su Xing to the ground.

"Damn it."

When his teammate didn’t respond, he quickly dropped to his knees for a careful inspection. Finding no signs of injury, he let out a heavy sigh of relief.

’He must have...’

’...just passed out.’

’He doesn’t seem to be hurt.’

"I’m... I’m okay."

Looking a little dizzy, the man climbed off Su Xing. Though his tackle had allowed them to dodge the brunt of the shockwave, he had still been knocked unconscious for a moment.

"Is he okay?"

After a quick self-assessment, his gaze shifted to Su Xing. He’d saved the man on pure instinct.

But now that the deed was done, his heart was still pounding wildly, as if it were about to leap out of his chest.

"He’s probably fine."

"His breathing is steady, and he doesn’t look hurt."

The other man replied after a glance at Su Xing.

"Mm."

"That’s good."

He gazed into the deep pit, his brow slightly furrowed. He didn’t know what was happening in there, but the ceaseless sounds of combat and the scent of sequence energy wafting out were not good signs.

It was just that...

...for them, who hadn’t even reached the fourth rank...

’...what could they possibly do in a situation like this?’

A bitter feeling welled up within him at the thought. It wasn’t just him; any Extraordinary Being standing in his place would surely feel the same.

"Cough, cough..."

Su Xing couldn’t help but cough.

He’d been tackled so suddenly he hadn’t had time to move. His muscle memory had nearly sent the man flying, but thankfully, Su Xing had reacted fast enough to restrain his power. As a result, however, he’d been successfully tackled to the ground by a third-rank Sequencer.

Otherwise,

at Su Xing’s sixth-rank level,

the man wouldn’t have been able to make him budge an inch, let alone tackle him to the ground.

"Are you okay?"

The man asked, seeing Su Xing get up.

He had previously suspected Su Xing might be a monster in disguise—after all, it was suspicious for Su Yu’s older brother to suddenly show up here. But now, that concern was completely gone. The physical contact had assured him that Su Xing was a real human, and he now looked at him with simple concern.

"I’m fine."

Su Xing shook his head with a helpless sigh.

Seeing that Su Xing really was fine, the man couldn’t help but joke, "Good thing you’re a Sword Hall Coach who trains every day. A fall like that would be rough on anyone else."

Indeed,

if Su Xing had been an ordinary person,

getting tackled and slammed to the ground like that...

...would have definitely caused some injury; it wouldn’t have been surprising if he’d been knocked unconscious. But since Su Xing stood up completely unharmed, it was no wonder the man attributed it to his daily training.

"What’s going on?"

"There seems to be a huge commotion here."

Su Xing gazed at the commotion within, sensing a familiar aura. It caused a strange stirring deep inside him—an impulse, almost, to drain its source completely dry.

’A Celestial Being...?’

’There’s actually a Celestial Being here?’

Su Xing muttered to himself.

The energy of a Celestial Being could make him stronger—he had confirmed this in the past. For that same feeling to appear now could only mean there was a Celestial Being inside the pit.

At the same time,

Su Xing sensed another acquaintance,

Li Longxuan. However, Li Longxuan’s aura was faintly unstable, as if he weren’t physically present but had instead used some technique to project his power here from afar.

"..."

The man had intended to brush Su Xing off with a vague answer, but then he considered that Su Xing had made it all the way here, and as Su Yu’s older brother, he must already know a few things. So, he decided to answer.

"We don’t know."

"But we’re here to resolve the situation with this Secret Realm. It’s definitely very dangerous inside that pit. To be safe, you should stay here with us. Everyone, stay vigilant."

"Mm."

"You staying here is the best choice."

Su Xing said with a nod.

"Yeah, you should stay with..."

He spoke as if it were the most natural thing in the world, only to stop mid-sentence. He thought he’d caught something odd in what Su Xing said, but he wasn’t quite sure.

But while the man was still hesitating, Su Xing spoke again. "However, the battle inside has reached a fever pitch. Li Longxuan, Elder Li, is already here. I’d advise you all to fall back a little further."
