A certain sword soul's infinite journey

Chapter 496
In front of the mountain gate of Liudong Temple.

On the stone steps where fallen leaves were flying, the long knife in Sasaki Kojiro's hand danced into an invisible phantom, suppressing Saber's attack with a powerful attack like a torrential rain.

Saber, who clearly has advantages in strength, weapons, and power, was unable to break through the dense knife net in front of her, and was even rubbed against the silver magic power structure on her body by the blade several times.

There is no way, Saber is a polygonal warrior who can do everything, but he has not achieved the ultimate in everything. Facing opponents whose skills are far superior to his own, he can only rely on strength and Noble Phantasms to crush him, but this time the Master of the Holy Grail War However, she is an amateur with insufficient magic power, so the treasure she is best at has been unable to use.

However, Sasaki Kojiro has powerful abilities such as 'mind's eye' and 'clear mirror and water'.

Among them, the "mind's eye" is the so-called premonition, which is based on the natural danger prediction ability.

"Ming Jing Zhi Shui" is a kind of spiritual state similar to "Mount Tai collapses before the color does not change" achieved after long-term practice. When transformed into the body of a heroic spirit, it becomes a body that can be completely nullified. Passive abilities for mental state effects like Confuse and Fear the opponent.

The combination of these two abilities is enough for Kojiro Sasaki to defeat the strong with the weak in close combat.

The "Wind King Barrier" used by Saber to hide the sword of vowed victory has the ability to confuse opponents in battle, but it is useless in front of Sasaki Kojiro's "Eye of Mind" and "Mingjing Shishui".

"Damn it, do you really want to use it here..."

Saber clenched her teeth, trying her best to resist the stormy blade in front of her.

She still wanted to leave the attack of the treasure to Lin Yi or Berserker, but she didn't expect to face an Assassin whose ability value was far inferior to hers, and she was almost forced out!

...So Emiya Shirou is still to blame!
If it wasn't for this guy's disappointment, why would Saber be so tight-lipped? When did she ever fight such a poor battle like King Arthur Arturia? !
"Zheng-"

The humming sound of metal colliding sounded, and the long knife in Sasaki Kojiro's hand spun strangely, and it was attached to the blade of the Invisible Sword and slashed towards Saber's palm.

Saber also deflected in time, blocking the sharply slashing blade with her crescent-shaped gauntlet.

Kojiro Sasaki grimaced, and just when he was about to change his move to pursue, he suddenly sensed the break in the magic power supply behind him, and immediately stagnated, leaping backwards, and distanced himself from Saber.

Saber was slightly taken aback, and also stopped the blade in her hand, and stood on the widest platform in the middle of the stone steps, looking solemnly at Kojiro Sasaki above.

"What's wrong, Assassin."

"It's nothing." Sasaki Kojiro shook his head, raised his long knife and smiled freely, "It's just that he realized that the female fox is dead, so he felt a little emotional."

"...Mother fox? Is it your Master?"

"That's right."

Sasaki Kojiro smiled lightly: "However, the facts may be somewhat different from what you think. The female fox you mentioned is actually not the Master in the true sense, but the target of your trip, Caster."

"...Caster?!"

Saber was slightly taken aback, and then looked at Sasaki Kojiro with disbelief: "You mean, you are actually a heroic servant summoned by Caster?!"

"It's not a heroic follower." Sasaki Kojiro laughed, "I'm just a counterfeit summoned by relying on this mountain gate, a gatekeeper who can only appear at this mountain gate!"

Surprised in Saber's heart, she quickly digested the information revealed by Sasaki Kojiro, and immediately her expression turned serious, looking at Sasaki Kojiro and said seriously.

"I understand, now that Caster has been defeated by Archer, and you have no reason to fight, please get out of the way and let me—"

"boom--"

A sudden loud noise came from behind Sasaki Kojiro, countless smoke and dust rose from Liudong Temple, a familiar black shadow crossed the night sky, and landed heavily in the center of Liudong Temple.

It's Berserker!

Saber's expression froze, and she raised her long sword anxiously.

"The battle situation is urgent, please get out of the way!"

"I should have done this next time, but..."

Sasaki Kojiro sighed, shook his head and said: "Now that the mother fox has died, my body can no longer survive the dawn—you are not the only one who is short of time."

Looking at Sasaki Kojiro's sad but determined expression, Saber felt a sense of understanding, this guy seems to be a martial idiot who is obsessed with fighting, and it seems that he must decide the outcome with himself.

Then decide the winner!

Saber turned positive, and said seriously: "I understand, then one move will determine the outcome, how about it?"

"Exactly what I want!"

Kojiro Sasaki laughed lightly, jumped down from the stone steps, and stood on the spacious stone steps where Saber was, holding the long knife in both hands and raising it slightly, his eyes fell on the invisible sword in Saber's hand with a smile that was not a smile.

"However, are you still unwilling to reveal your treasure?"

Saber's expression turned cold, and she didn't reply, but her reaction had already tactfully rejected him.

Sasaki Kojiro smiled: "Although I am unknown, I have dedicated my life to the sword. If you still have no intention of fighting with all your strength, that faith... let it be tolerated and let it forcefully succumb!"

As the voice fell, Sasaki Kojiro's eyes flashed a gleam, and a bright blue-purple light shone on the blade held flat in his hand.

"Secret Sword—"

"Bam—"

There was a loud explosion of air suddenly, and Saber and Sasaki Kojiro, who were confronting each other, looked at each other, and jumped back towards both sides of the stone steps together.

Immediately afterwards, a tall and dark body shot out like a cannonball out of the chamber, easily smashing the hard mountain gate, and flew into the woods outside the mountain gate with a whistling air flow. of tree trunks.

Sasaki Kojiro twitched the corners of his mouth, and looked at the broken mountain gate with a long knife on his shoulder.

I saw a tall warrior in red-patterned silver armor walking out, holding a red long knife with a red blade in his hand, his silver-white vertical pupils glanced around and then looked at Kojiro Sasaki.

"Fortunately, fortunately, you are not dead."

Lin Yi heaved a long sigh of relief, leaped up to the stone steps in front of Sasaki Kojiro like a swallow, and said lightly to Saber who was bewildered behind him:
"Saber, leave this guy to me, you go and deal with that monster outside!"

"……what?"

Saber's eyes widened in a daze, Sasaki Kojiro was also a little puzzled.

Lin Yi explained calmly: "Caster broke the rules of the Holy Grail, and the Holy Grail will naturally impose sanctions according to the rules, and I am the sanctioner who came into the world with a special class——BladeMaster!"

"So you're not Archer?!"

"Of course!"

Lin Yi smiled lightly, and the long knife in his hand burst into bright red flames: "Caster who broke the rules has already died in my hands, and the mistakes and omissions made by Caster will naturally be handed over to me-so I still have to deal with it." Do you have any other questions, Saber?"

"……I understand."

Saber glanced at Kojiro Sasaki with complicated eyes, and after sighing lightly, turned around and chased after the track Berserker plowed in the woods.

As the footsteps gradually receded, Sasaki Kojiro recovered from his stupefaction, looked at Lin Yi who was calm and also holding a dagger in front of him, a smile could not help but appear on the corner of his mouth.

"Although the duel was interrupted and I was very upset, but your class name... Hehehe, it's really interesting! Someone is named after the sword master. This kind of title seems to be recognized by the Holy Grail. Compared with being recognized by the Holy Grail The interrupted duel makes me even more unhappy!"

"..."

Lin Yi raised his eyebrows in surprise, and chuckled lightly: "You are quite straightforward, and you actually faced the jealousy in your heart. Well, since you've already said so—would you like to give it a try?"

After the faint words fell, the armor on Lin Yi's body disappeared one by one. The originally black sportswear inside the armor changed into a white shirt in a burst of silver light. The red jade pendant with the fire phoenix fluttered slightly in the night wind.

Sasaki Kojiro was stunned for a moment, not only because Lin Yi was dressed like an ancient Chinese swordsman, but also because of the language he used when he spoke the last sentence just now.

That is not the local Japanese given to the hero by the Holy Grail, but the authentic Chinese of the Central Plains.

Looking at the handsome face full of oriental characteristics, Kojiro Sasaki couldn't help showing a look of joy on his face, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

"Fun...so much fun!"

"I'm still wondering who would have such an arrogant name. It turns out to be a Central Plains swordsman from the mainland!"

"To be honest, I wanted to go to the Central Plains Wulin to find out the truth before I was born, but unfortunately, I have never found the opportunity to go to sea. I didn't expect that after death, my wish would be fulfilled, and I still have the name of the sword master in the Central Plains Wulin. A strong swordsman..."

The smile on Sasaki Kojiro's face became thicker and thicker. After a certain stage, he suddenly calmed down. He raised the long knife in his hand slowly and looked at Lin Yi calmly and seriously.

"Your Majesty Sasaki Kojiro, there is an unknown swordsman in the mountains. This sword is called Wu Ganzhuo. The blade is more than five feet long. It was forged by the famous craftsman Bizen Osakane Nagamitsu. May I ask your name..."

"In Xialin Yi, the sword master of the Central Plains, you don't have to think about the title. I will be active after you."

"Is that so?" Sasaki Kojiro nodded.

"As for this long knife..."

Lin Yi lightly raised the flame-burning sword in his hand: "This sword is called Longyanya. It is made of dragon teeth and thousand-year-old cold ice iron after cutting the evil dragon with the sword. The sword is three feet and one inch long. The net weight is seven catties and six taels, hair is blown and hair is broken, and iron is cut like mud."

Sasaki Kojiro: "..."

In just a few sentences, the judge will be judged!
Sasaki Kojiro silently raised his long sword.

Sure enough, people from the Central Plains can do things like talking harshly before a duel!
"Your Excellency Lin Yi, forgive me for being clumsy, but when it comes to the sword between you and me, let's use this knife to talk!"

"Exactly what I want!"

After the words fell, Lin Yi stepped on his feet, and the red long knife in his hand cut across a full moon-like arc, and slashed towards Sasaki Kojiro fiercely.
