Swordsmanship Coach: Kill with One Slash

Chapter 309: Chapter 200: The Sword Shattered

Li Longxuan’s eyes narrowed slightly. The sharp aura of his blade seemed to retract, gradually solidifying into a massive blade beside him.

HUM! HUM! HUM!

As both sides channeled their power, they continued to clash relentlessly.

But just then, a faint figure withstood their terrifying blade auras and suddenly forced his way onto the battlefield.

The newcomer was a white-haired old man.

Although Su Xing didn’t recognize him, Li Longxuan’s pupils suddenly contracted. The person before him was all too familiar.

He was Tong An.

The old friend who had suddenly come to Cang City.

This was the very same person Li Longxuan had specifically asked Su Xing to help when he had a chance. Yet here he was, appearing on the opposite side of the conflict, right in front of Li Longxuan.

The moment he appeared, he activated his unique sequence power, his entire body transforming into an intensely brilliant, blinding light. He was, in fact, a powerful Tier Eight Sequencer. The sequence he commanded was also quite impressive—Light.

Just that one word.

Just like elemental sequences such as Fire, Ice, and Lightning, the sequence Tong An commanded was precisely one of them: Light.

However, his aura was clearly a few notches weaker than Li Longxuan’s. In fact, due to the severe injuries accumulated over many years, his aura felt unstable, as if it could collapse at any moment. But this did not change the fact that he still possessed Tier Eight Combat Power.

As the light flared, Tong An charged violently toward the two combatants. It was like a suicide attack, and because of this, his speed was simply unbelievable.

Li Longxuan’s reaction was lightning-fast. Even while fully engaged with his opponent, he sensed Tong An charging toward him. But when he recognized the attacker’s identity, his eyes filled with a strange mix of confusion and surprise.

’He...’

’How could he be here?’

’He knew his old friend had come to Cang City for a reason, but he never imagined it had to do with this Secret Realm. And to think he would actually attack me?!’

However, there was no time for Li Longxuan to dwell on it. The Death Monarch’s attack was still before him, and now Tong An’s assault came from another direction. Li Longxuan could only twist his body and hastily raise his long blade to block the attacks from both sides.

BOOM!

A violent collision rang out.

The three figures shot past one another, and a blinding white light flashed across the sky.

The light scattered, revealing Tong An’s face.

At that moment, he looked at Li Longxuan’s face—familiar, yet made strange by the long years apart—and an indescribably complex emotion welled up from the bottom of his heart.

"How could it be you?"

"..."

Li Longxuan’s expression stiffened. He looked down at himself and saw a needle formed of pure light energy lodged in his right side, in the area near his heart.

A light needle... this method of using a sequence... Li Longxuan instantly recognized its wielder.

The blinding white light emitted an intense light-sequence energy. A powerful aura spread from the wound and coursed through his body, causing a flash of pain to wrack Li Longxuan.

A technique like this could instantly kill an Extraordinary Being of a lower cultivation realm with a single strike.

Li Longxuan couldn’t help but sigh. Even with all his experience, an incident like this left him feeling disheartened. He truly had never imagined Tong An would appear here.

"Why are you here?"

The expression on Li Longxuan’s face quickly returned to one of calm. Despite the situation, his years of combat experience had forged an unbreakable mindset. He soon became as tranquil as still water, simply gazing at Tong An and asking faintly.

"Because I have something I must do."

"I promised him. This time, I must help him be resurrected. In return, he will give me something... something very important. I also..."

Tong An faltered.

He suddenly realized that since things had already reached this point, there was no sense in saying more. He trailed off, closing his mouth.

"..."

’Hearing this, Li Longxuan understood his old friend’s purpose here. After leaving the special organization, Tong An must have encountered some insurmountable problem. But the Sick Monarch could solve it for him, so his old friend agreed to help the Sick Monarch be resurrected.’

’Only to unexpectedly run into me.’

"Do you know about the Celestial Human Tomb?"

Li Longxuan’s voice turned somewhat cold as he spoke.

"No, I’m sure you do."

"You participated in that great war back then, so you must know about the Celestial Human Tomb."

"So you also know that the Sick Monarch and this Death Monarch are also among the Celestial Beings, right?"

"..."

"I know."

Tong An nodded.

"Then you should know what unleashing them would mean, right?"

Li Longxuan’s voice grew even colder.

"I am certain that if they are freed, they will not coexist peacefully with us. Countless innocent people will die in the ensuing disaster. Are you truly willing to be responsible for that?"

"..."

Tong An was speechless.

’Of course, he knew Li Longxuan was right. The Sick Monarch may have told him of their tragic past when asking for help, but Tong An knew full well what would happen if they were resurrected. But...’

’Sometimes...’

’...some things were simply beyond his control.’

Seeing this,

Li Longxuan understood.

’Now that it has come to this, words alone won’t change his mind. Only strength can settle this.’

’But... it’s one against two.’

’Do I really have any chance of winning?’

Li Longxuan frowned. ’My real body isn’t here, so even if I lose, I won’t die on the spot. But what about the members of the special organization down below? Will they be able to survive?’
