Chapter 307: Chapter 199: Trump Card
"S-Su Xing?"
Li Yu said, somewhat dazed.
He was all too familiar with this powerfully built man who had suddenly appeared. He’d met Su Yu’s brother on several occasions, but as the situation grew more tense, Li Yu had relegated Su Xing to a position of little importance.
But...
Now, he had suddenly shown up, appearing before him in such a domineering fashion and blocking the creature’s sharp claws with nothing but his formidable body.
When that claw struck Su Xing, it was like a gentle scratch. He felt nothing at all. Although the Rank 6 creature was technically at the same level as him, the difference in their power was simply terrifying.
"..."
The monster was clearly highly intelligent. Its expression flickered between uncertainty and alarm as it stared warily at the powerfully built man who had suddenly appeared.
It had no idea when Su Xing had arrived.
’Fuck me...’
It cursed inwardly. Taking over a human’s identity had naturally given it some human habits and memories. So, despite being a monster, it let slip a common human profanity.
However, the moment the thought crossed its mind, Su Xing’s figure vanished on the spot.
An instant later, a soft voice sounded from right behind its head.
"Die."
Su Xing raised a hand, seized the creature by the neck, and slowly lifted it into the air. The monster couldn’t react in time, feeling only an irresistible, immense force constricting its throat, as if its head was about to be torn from its body at any moment.
"H-How can this be?!"
’What is this speed?! What kind of technique is this?! Is it spatial teleportation? No, that’s not right! Not right! ... This... this is just pure speed.’
"Don’t!"
It cried out, almost subconsciously.
Ever since it had been resurrected in this body using the power of a Secret Realm, it had never encountered a man so freakishly strong that it had no time to even think about defending itself.
But its plea for mercy came too late.
CRACK!
A crisp snap echoed.
And the corpse of a Rank 6 monster lay on the ground.
In that moment,
it was as if time itself had frozen.
Whether it was the Sick Monarch, who sat perched on high, confident of his victory, or the members of the special organization staring at Su Xing in astonishment, the expressions on their faces all froze in place, their eyes wide with disbelief at the utterly astounding scene.
Then, Su Xing’s figure blurred again, and he once more vanished from everyone’s sight.
Like a phantom.
The monsters and the opposing human Extraordinary Beings at the scene were engulfed by what felt like a tide of death. A series of sonic booms echoed one after another as body after body collapsed to the ground.
Then, their bodies gradually lost their warmth.
The looks in their eyes were all strikingly similar—a mixture of terror and bewilderment, of shock and incomprehension. Of course, they weren’t the only ones who were stunned.
Li Yu stared at Su Xing, who was cutting through his enemies like the wind, his own expression frozen. The words he’d been about to say to stop Su Xing were caught in his throat, as if frozen solid.
In that instant, so many things all clicked into place. Li Yu finally understood why the mysterious master always showed up just in time whenever the people from the Sword Hall were in danger. He understood why Su Xing had always seemed to possess no power whenever he visited the Sword Hall, yet was always the absolute core of their group.
Previously, Li Yu had assumed it was because he was Su Yu’s older brother. But now, it finally dawned on him—or rather, he had a sudden epiphany. Su Xing was the mysterious master who had been secretly assisting the special organization all along.
Su Xing...
The mysterious master was actually Su Xing!
This massive revelation crashed into Li Yu’s mind like a tsunami, overwhelming his stunned senses. Right now, he felt like a lone boat adrift on a vast ocean, completely at a loss.
Rank 6...
That monster was Rank 6.
Yet a Rank 6 creature had died so easily at Su Xing’s hands.
In that case...
just how strong was Su Xing himself?
Rank 6? Rank 7? Or maybe...
Li Yu didn’t dare to think about it any further. He suddenly recalled all the times he had insisted on protecting Su Xing. He wondered what this hidden master must have thought of him.
"Su Xing..."
Li Yu stared blankly at Su Xing and murmured.
At this moment, for the first time, he felt that Su Yu’s brother—the man his organization had confirmed was an ordinary person—was a complete stranger, an utter mystery.
Li Yu had always thought he knew Su Xing’s life story like the back of his hand, especially since Su Yu had always been a member of the organization. But looking at it now, it seemed Su Yu had hidden quite a lot.
He wasn’t the only one. The surviving members of the organization had incredibly rich expressions on their faces when they saw Su Xing. Among them was an old acquaintance of his: Liu Ming.
Aside from Su Yu, he was the first Extraordinary Being Su Xing had ever come into contact with.
Currently, he was only at Rank 4, but thanks to the diverse skills he’d gained from his background as an outstanding police officer, he was still highly valued within the special organization.
"Su..."
"Su Xing..."
Liu Ming’s face was filled with shock.
He seemed to have connected some dots. His expression first turned to one of regret, then shifted to profound relief as he murmured:
"Su Xing..."
"It was when he appeared... the mysterious master also showed up around the same time. Of course. I should have guessed it long ago."
Su Xing naturally noticed them, but...
