: In my sense based on the context offered, it's referred impossibly to real "killing"...

Fang Sheng
: The idea is right. How about "one-move kill"? In here of course, "kill" is a figurative term.

Fang Sheng
: I feel in here the "knife" and "sword" refer to the mastery, rather than the weapons themselves. It's the mastery of the user that is fierce and killing. What do you think?

one-trick defeat
Based on the context, I'd like to suggest "one-trick defeat" corresponding to the source term. 招 is generally referred to "trick" as efficient skill to defeat the competetion or to solve a certain problem. 过 here is probably referred to defeat ther than killing, according to the mood of the Chinese sentence.
Hope it's enough helpful.

: 你提供的例句怎么像是机器翻译的？^-^ // 我也认为例句的英文没有问题。“one trick”译为“一招”也很对，但后面的就完全不通了。不过，还是有参考价值。:)

这个我不太清楚，但这英文肯定是纯正的，中文是别人的翻译，也许我不应该把中文贴上。
