A certain sword soul's infinite journey

Chapter 492 Sasaki Kojiro
Approaching the Liudong Temple on the outskirts of the city, the surrounding night suddenly darkened.

In the sky, the clouds gradually thickened, and a faint mist enveloped the entire temple, and the invisible enchantment was exuding huge magic power.

In front of the mountain gate of Liudong Temple, a man in a lavender kimono stood on a high stone step with a long knife in his hand, staring happily at Lin Yi and Saber below with his dark blue eyes.

The slightly cold night wind blew over the stone steps, stirring up the fallen leaves on the ground.

Saber clenched the long sword in her hand, looking solemnly at the man above.

"Excuse me, which Servant are you?"

"Servant, Assassin—"

A chuckle came from above, just when Saber thought the answer was over and was about to ask further questions, a smile suddenly appeared on Assassin's face.

"—You can also call me Kojiro Sasaki."

Saber was slightly stunned, she didn't expect to learn Assassin's real name after a simple inquiry, Emiya Shirou and Tohsaka Rin behind them were even more stunned, because they knew very well what this name represented.

The legendary swordsman Kojiro Sasaki, an ancient swordsman who does not know his true identity, is described as a rival or old enemy of Miyamoto Musashi, a famous two-sword swordsman in the folk. The five-foot long knife (1.5m) is one of the pronouns of neon sword skills.

As a legendary figure widely circulated among neon folks, Sasaki Kojiro's name in Fuyuki City is no less than foreign heroes like King Arthur, plus the popularity bonus of the main body——

"Strength C, durability E, magic power E, luck A, agility... A+!"

"Just kidding, is this guy's agility actually higher than Lancer's? He really is a difficult opponent!"

Rin Tohsaka looked at Sasaki Kojiro with a frown, and checked his ability value through the Master's authority.

Sasaki Kojiro didn't care about Tohsaka Rin's prying, he picked up the long knife in his hand, looked across the stone steps and looked down at Saber with a stunned expression, and said with a light smile:

"Your Excellency seems surprised... No, as far as I know, no matter what era it is, it should be a matter of course to report your name before a battle!"

It is true to say so, but now it is the Holy Grail War!
Didn't your Master teach you about hiding intelligence or something? !
The corner of Saber's mouth twitched slightly, and she glanced at Lin Yirao's interested expression from the corner of her eye, gritted her teeth, looked at Sasaki Kojiro above, and said seriously:

"Your Excellency is right. Since you took the initiative to report your name, with the etiquette of a knight, I should also give it back. After that, please get out of the way and don't hinder our progress. My name is—— —”

"It's okay."

Sasaki Kojiro interrupted Saber's words with a chuckle, and gently put his right hand on the handle of the knife.

"If you want to know the enemy, this knife is enough!"

In the next second, the long knife groaned softly and came out of its sheath.

The swordsman above the stone steps pulled out a five-foot katana, and immediately threw away the purple bamboo-patterned scabbard in his hand, turned the tip of the knife, and pointed it at Saber below.

"So, today's opponent has already been confirmed to be you, Saber?"

"..."

As expected of Kojiro, he is really full of B marks!
Lin Yi couldn't help complaining in his heart, and suddenly found that Saber in front of him frowned slightly, and turned to look at him.

... Are you asking for your own opinion?
The smile on Lin Yi's face restrained, and he nodded seriously, saying it's up to you.

Saber also nodded, turned around and looked at Sasaki Kojiro solemnly: "That's right, let me be your opponent today."

"very good."

Sasaki Kojiro chuckled and disappeared like a gust of wind.

In the next second, the sharp long knife and the invisible sword collided up and down, hot sparks shot out, Saber clenched her teeth, and a force far stronger than Kojiro burst out suddenly, trying to smash the samurai sword in front of her. Block it.

Sensing Saber's response to the most unusual sword move, Sasaki Kojiro's eyes flashed a hint of disappointment.

He originally thought that the heroic spirit who descended as Saber would have the same superb and powerful sword skills as himself, and he had great expectations and enthusiasm for this, but when he got started, he found that the opponent used the most standard battlefield sword moves, although It can be opened and closed, and it can be widely used, but in the samurai duel between the close movement...

"It's completely the grade of a third-rate swordsman!"

Sasaki Kojiro sighed in disappointment: "Shouldn't there be hope for Western sword skills..."

While sighing, the samurai sword in Kojiro's hand suddenly trembled strangely, deflecting the blade before Saber's power fully exploded, the sharp point of the blade drew an elegant arc, and flashed across the side of the blade, making Saber's power Completely split in the empty space.

……what? !

Saber's pupils shrank, and her strong fighting instincts made her grit her teeth in time to hold back the unexhausted strength, and turned to slash upwards suddenly, parrying the long knife that suddenly slashed towards her neck and flying away.

"Chong-"

There was a crisp sound of metal collisions, and Sasaki Kojiro, who was slashing Gefei's long sword vigorously for the first time, was slightly taken aback, and a trace of unconcealable joy suddenly appeared on Jun's face.

"It seems that Western sword skills are not useless!"

Kojiro Sasaki showed joy on his face, the fighting enthusiasm that had just been extinguished was ignited again, the long knife in his hand suddenly raised high, and slashed towards the gap of Saber's steel neck guard from top to bottom.

"Chong-"

The crisp sound of swords colliding echoed floatingly.

In the next second, countless swords and swords invisible to the naked eye collided, and a hand-to-hand battle broke out that surpassed the limits of human beings. Sasaki Kojiro, who has the name of "Legendary Swordsman", and Ben, who was named a swordsman, descended The Sabers collided together.

The gust of wind reverberated, and the howling air flow flowed between the two of them, the stone steps under their feet shattered, and the flying leaves were all turned into dust.

"Is this the fight?"

Rin Tohsaka frowned, obviously a little uncomfortable with Sasaki Kojiro's style of swordsman speaking with a sword.

Emiya Shirou next to him stared wide-eyed, looking at the scene of sword collision on the stone steps, he muttered to himself: "I...it's Sasaki Kojiro!!"

"..." x2
Tohsaka Rin and Lin Yi glanced at Emiya Shirou speechlessly.

"Okay, I'll leave it to Saber for the time being."

Lin Yi chuckled, and grabbed the back collars of their clothes with each hand, and the huge purple wings suddenly spread out behind him, and his figure flew into Liudong Temple like a roc spreading its wings.

...Don't die at the hands of Saber!
Lin Yi glanced lightly at Kojiro Sasaki below.

A huge black shadow flickered above his head, and Saber was slightly distracted.

"laugh--"

The long knife was wiped, and the bright red blood splashed in the air.

Saber only felt a pain in his ribs, and immediately gritted his teeth and split the long knife in his ribs, and suddenly jumped back to open the distance, and then landed on the lowest stone step with a backflip.

Sasaki Kojiro didn't continue to chase, but swung the long knife in his right hand obliquely, throwing a line of blood on the ground, and a faint smile appeared on his handsome face.

"Don't be distracted during the battle, Saber!"

While speaking, Sasaki Kojiro's eyes were clear, apparently without any sarcasm.

Saber touched the knife marks on her ribs behind her, and after confirming that the injuries would not affect the battle, she clenched the invisible sword in her hand, and aimed at Sasaki Kojiro solemnly.

Sasaki Kojiro chuckled, pointing the tip of the knife obliquely at the ground.

"Just now, I had at least seven chances to cut off your head, but you are still safe and sound. It seems that Western swordsmanship also has its subtleties!"

"Each each other."

Saber held the sword in both hands, and looked at him calmly: "Your quack tricks also have their own unique features... But it seems that you can only use these tricks, right?"

"Of course~ Your Excellency has the upper hand in strength and momentum, and I can only win by cleverness."

Sasaki Kojiro picked up the long knife with a smile, his dark blue eyes slowly moved down, and landed on the invisible sword held in Saber's hand.

"Speaking of which, it's almost time to get used to your invisible sword!"

'……What? ! ’ Saber’s pupils shrank, ‘Is it just based on the fight just now? '

Sasaki Kojiro raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and slowly raised the long knife in his hand.

"Then next, it's almost time to get serious, Saber!"

……

……

On the other side, Lin Yi took Tosaka Rin and Emiya Shiro into the Liudong Temple, and under the guidance of Emiya Shiro, he found the houses of everyone in the temple, and saw the comatose and sleeping monks in the houses.

After measuring the breath of several monks, Emiya Shirou couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, they were all just lethargic. Tohsaka was right. Caster really didn't take their lives."

Rin Tohsaka crossed her arms and looked at Emiya Shirou and Lin Yi expressionlessly.

"Caster did not take their lives... That's because her goal was our lives! Why did she just rush in like this! Isn't that what our plan is?! Archer, give me Explain it well!"

Sure enough, behind the calm is always the condensation of the storm!
...But no problem, because that's my plan!
Lin Yi added something in his heart, but a puzzled expression appeared on his handsome face: "Really? Didn't you say you planned to push Caster?"

"...That's not this kind of flat pushing! This is Caster's magic temple!"

Rin Tohsaka looked at Lin Yi angrily. She thought she was just probing outside the temple tonight, but she didn't expect Lin Yi and Emiya Shiro to rush directly into the hinterland of Liudong Temple recklessly.

"But Tohsaka-san didn't stop him, did he?" Emiya Shiro smiled slightly, "I know, Tohsaka-san also wants to rescue these innocent monks, because Tohsaka-san is a gentle and kind person."

"...Don't come here, I never said that!"

Rin Tohsaka rolled her eyes, but her slightly red face still betrayed her insincere words, defining what she just said as the arrogant remarks of an awkward character.

Lin Yi laughed without hesitation on Tohsaka Rin's face, until Tohsaka Rin kicked him in anger, then restrained his smile and pointed to the corner of the wall.

"If I'm not mistaken, the young boy in the corner should be your classmate, Liu Dong Yicheng, right?"

　Thank you for the book friend's 1500 coin reward for naming such an annoyance.
