Infinite Begins with Giants

Chapter 676 The road to the swordsman, life and death

"Come on!"

Seeing that the other party took the initiative to invite a fight, a frightening look flashed in Ren's eyes, and he also assumed an attacking posture.

The eyes of the two top swordsmen met, and in the blink of an eye, two extremely fierce sword intents erupted as if they were about to pierce the sky!

One is as cold as a bright mirror, penetrating and waveless, and the other is as fierce and violent as blood and fire, with a majestic momentum.

The two collided with each other, the cold wind was bleak, and the intertwined icy murderous aura made the moonlight even eclipsed!
'very scary……'

Emiya Shirou swallowed subconsciously, he glanced at the two scimitars in his hand, and wisely chose to retreat.

If you dare to go over at this time, you will definitely die. I'm afraid you won't even be able to leave the whole body, so let's give up the position to these two masters.

The moonlight is getting colder and colder.

The killing intent became more and more piercing.

With swords facing each other, Ren and the gatekeeper began to gather momentum.

The aura condensed on the two became stronger and stronger, the air seemed to freeze, a leaf fell to the center of the two, and was instantly chopped into fine powder!

Clang!
The balance was broken in an instant, Ren stepped on his feet, and the blue-purple magic knife in his hand drew a full moon-like arc, and slashed towards Kojiro Sasaki fiercely.

"Zheng!!"

In an instant, the whistling sound of the blade resounded!
The huge force caused Sasaki Kojiro's arm to sink slightly. He blocked the sharply slashing magic knife with the root of the handle, and the two sides stood in a stalemate with the blade touching the handle.

Clang!
With a light spin of the long knife, Kojiro relieved his strength with an incomparably delicate movement. Even if he made a mistake, he would be beheaded directly by the magic knife, but he was not nervous at all, and his eyes lit up with divine light.

Swish!
With a slight shake of his arm, he swung the magic knife away, and "Wu Ganzhuo" turned into a cold light and slashed towards Ren's neck.

However, he thought it would be difficult for the opponent to defend and parry at this time, but Archer suddenly shook his arm and moved his five fingers down to reveal a section of the handle of the knife.

Chi~
Ren tapped lightly with the handle of the knife and swung away Kojiro's long knife.

The blade of the long knife rubbed against the handle of the magic knife, sparks were generated from the friction, and the long knife that was missed narrowly passed by his side.

Ren's face remained unchanged, and a bright cold light was released from the blade of the magic knife in his hand, and he slashed at Assassin who was in a neutral position.

boom!
The bright knife light entered the ground, like cutting tofu, it cut open the bluestone steps in front of Liudong Temple, revealing a smooth cut!

However, this sharp knife cut through nothing, and the Gatekeeper Sword Master on the opposite side made a retreat after cutting out with a knife.

The round of fighting is over.

The two sides not only used majestic slashes, but also used strange and obscene skills, unloading, anticipating, evading...all just right, within an inch, they have walked on the edge of life and death several times.

"Haha! Have fun, come again!"

After avoiding a cut, Sasaki Kojiro laughed heartily.

He rushed over, the long knife deflected slightly, the back of his hand brushed past the magic knife in front of him with a slight difference, and stabbed the human Archer's chest suddenly and dangerously.

This is with the advantage of having a longer weapon.

"Wu Gan Zhuo" is longer than the magic knife, and at this distance, even if it hits at the same time, the opponent will be injured more seriously.

Clang! !

Ren's sword turned suddenly, and he used "Onikiri" to stop the long knife on his chest at an unusually weird angle!

The janitor's knife immediately changed, and quickly changed its moves. Like Ren's "Onikiri", it stabbed him in the neck again at an angle that violated human mechanics!
'Blade of soul, crescent moon! '

Ren narrowed his eyes slightly, and his arms burst out with infinite strength.

The blade swept out like a moon, across half an arc, and slashed fiercely on Sasaki Kojiro's body!

"Clang!"

The huge force made the blade tremble, and Kojiro Sasaki turned the blade to relieve the force.

Then, Wu Qianzhuo drew an arc, and the blade refused to let go, and even slashed towards Ren's neck obliquely again!

The gatekeeper became stronger and stronger as he fought more and more, his heart was full of fighting spirit, but his sword intent became more and more clear.

His every move is like a lone moon hanging high, and his spirit is as clear as a mirror in the lake. No matter how Ren changes his moves, he will remain unchanged and gradually suppress Archer.

'Everything in the world, every plant and every tree can be a sword, imagine that you are in the starry sky, and the sun, moon and stars move with you! "

Slightly at a disadvantage, Ren's pupils suddenly became indifferent.

A vast, majestic, cold, and profound saber intent burst out in an instant like the other side of the vast starry sky.

Clang clang!
In an instant, countless sword lights and sword shadows bloomed like a gorgeous galaxy!
With all the firepower, the two of them fought together, and the stone steps under their feet were constantly cracking in the sword light. Their figures were tossing and moving like ghosts, and cracks spread one after another!

In just a few breaths, several steps were shattered.

Between fighting, every move and style has infinite changes.

For others, each of their shots is followed by complex calculations and subtle changes.

But for the two of them at this moment, this kind of crazy fighting is just a basic skill, and many slashing movements are just subconscious reactions, and there is no need to think about it at all.

"Clang...clang!!"

The sounds of countless gold and iron clashes continued to ring out!
Swords, lights and swords danced wildly and intertwined like a whirlwind. From time to time, a bright red blood flower fell, and the clothes were torn, and both Ren and Sasaki Kojiro hung some colors.

But both of them didn't care about it, and their swords and knives danced, their moves became more and more bold and crazy, almost walking on the line of life and death.

When you meet your opponents, you will meet your best talents, pushing this duel to a higher level.

"What a pinnacle of sword skill this is, it's simply..."

Holding Mo Xie in his hand, Shirou, who stood watching the battle from the sidelines, was dazzled for a while, with deep shock in his eyes.

Outside the church, he had seen Archer and Berserker fight.

If it was said that that time, it was two fighters in divine costumes who used each other's strength, speed, and skills to the extreme for a fierce collision, which belonged to the battlefield combat method of opening and closing, then this time, it was just a short distance away. A duel between samurai swordsmen...

The former is the way of the god of war across the battlefield, and the latter is the way of the swordsman between square inches. Each has its own advantages and disadvantages, but they are equally exciting.

Inside Liudong Temple, in a certain room.

"Caster, is this the third-rate swordsman you're talking about?"

It was King Dumao who spoke, and there was a purple light screen in front of her, which was the picture from the familiar, showing Archer and Assassin who were fighting.

She was wearing that classic blue dress. Although her body was restrained by some magic lines extending from the command spell, she couldn't hide the surprise in her eyes as she watched the battle, and she looked at Mama C with sarcasm in her eyes. .

"...It's a bit surprising, Assassin is not the real Sasaki Kojiro, I thought he was just a low-level impostor, I never thought..."

The witch Medea also had a bit of surprise and surprise on her face.

Although she felt that he should be a little capable, but this was the first time she saw Assassin make a move.

Even if she is a layman in the art of swordsmanship, she can feel that Archer and Assassin's skills in swordsmanship have almost reached a certain extreme.

"What's the matter, Saber, have you been hit? These two guys seem to be stronger than you, a real swordsman." Mama C still didn't forget to taunt her.

King Dumao bit his lip and remained silent.

With the facts in front of her eyes, it was useless to refute them. The swordsmanship of these two people was indeed better than hers. It reminded her of Merlin who taught her swordsmanship...

But soon, the eyes of the two women widened.

Because, on the battlefield, something even more exaggerated happened.

Swords and swords flickered, gusts of wind reverberated, and howling air flowed between the two of them. The stones under their feet were torn apart, and the flying leaves were all turned into dust.

Ren and Kojiro had already fought to their peak, and the scene was suffocating.

The low whistling of the sword cutting the air gradually changed its tone, one after another, just like the sound of two violins playing strings, on or off, or intermittently.

Pieces of silver light and cold light kept blooming, surrounding the two of them from time to time.

What frightened them even more was that every slash and every swing of the sword was close to the opponent's body, passing by with a narrow margin, which was extremely dangerous.

Even in the eyes of Shirou, who was watching the battle at the door, only afterimages could be seen passing by in the air, and the flickering flickering of the sword.

Clank...clank!

The sword qi burst out brilliantly, traversed the void, and spread to every corner in an instant, like mercury splashing, and like heavy snow flying, the cold light swept all directions!

Their aftermath blooms like gorgeous petals in an instant.

It is also like snow falling on a moonlit night, turning over and over again, and the chill is piercing.

Cruel, cold, beautiful...

It's a beauty that's dangerous to the extreme.

However, no matter how the two of them turned and changed, how brilliant the cold light was, and how the sword light and sword energy fought, the swords in Ren and Assassin's hands never really collided.

However, the moment anyone reveals his flaws, he will be stabbed and his head will fall to the ground immediately.

"..."

Shocked and speechless, Saber silently changed her sword skills from a little worse than theirs to a cut in her heart.

"A battle of swordsmen? It's a pity..."

Mother C sighed, she was not optimistic about Assassin.

Even if swordsmanship is between equals, it is hard to tell which is better, but Archer is not only good at swordsmanship, he still has powerful treasures that he has not used.

In the arena, the janitor's eyes became brighter and brighter.

Even though his hands trembled, his tiger's mouth was split open, and blood splattered from time to time, he couldn't conceal the joy in his heart.

This is the battle he desires the most after his arrival!

Ren was also very happy, and finally met a top swordsmanship master. While excited, he also prepared for the pure swordsmanship duel in the final duel space.

"Main task 2: Sword Clash, after the end of the 5th Holy Grail War, you will be pulled into the duel space, and will have a pure swordsmanship duel with Assasin (Kojiro Sasaki) under exactly the same conditions."

This is the ultimate test, but this time...

"Chong--!"

After another sword bounced off the blade piercing the throat, Ren raised his leg and kicked Sasaki Kojiro!

Nani?

The gatekeeper's pupils shrank. Archer's way of attacking, which was completely out of the style of a swordsman, caught him by surprise.

boom!
With a surge of air, Ren's feet precisely kicked Kojiro's wrist guards holding the handle of the knife, a burst of huge force exploded, Sasaki Kojiro was repelled, and he plowed a ditch on the ground before stopping!
Renn, who made a sudden kick, did not choose to pursue, but put down the blade and touched the ground.

Assassin Kojiro Sasaki shook his red and swollen wrist with a cracked jaw, looked at him, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly:
"Your Excellency, as a swordsman, actually use... this kind of bastard-style punching and kicking?"

In this fierce confrontation, Sasaki Kojiro has regarded the opponent as a swordsman, and his sword skills are by no means inferior to him.

"Strange? Assassin, I'm an archer, have you forgotten?" Ren said without blushing.

"It's normal for me to take out my bow and shoot you an arrow, right?"

The gatekeeper: "..."

I was so engrossed in the fight just now that I even forgot that the opponent was Archer.

"...It seems that I am going to die."

Kojiro Sasaki had a bit of regret on his face. He knew that Archer's treasure is very powerful. If it is not as good as swordsmanship, it is not difficult to solve him with a set of remote release treasure.

"It's not that I don't want to fight anymore, but your weapon can't hold it anymore."

Ren shook his head, watching his things dry.

Sasaki Kojiro was taken aback.

Subconsciously glanced at his long knife, and sure enough, there were already some very small cracks and inconspicuous gaps on it.

"..."

Sasaki Kojiro sighed slightly, and asked seriously: "Archer, you can unleash the sacred sword and kill me with one blow. If you continue to fight with swordsmanship, then one move will determine the outcome, how about it?"

"Continue, one blow will determine the outcome!"

Ren nodded, raised the magic knife, and began to gather momentum.

It's actually not difficult for him to kill the opponent, not to mention melee combat, he can use a long-range attack kite to kill him, at least once the fake Spiral Sword goes down, Assassin will definitely die.

This is also the reason why the system has to limit the conditions of the main task 2.

In a pure swordsmanship duel, all external conditions will be completely equal at that time.

Otherwise, Kojiro will be smashed to death by his pile of treasures, just like in the Fate line, Mr. Jin shot him to death with a lot of money from a long distance. The gatekeeper's body is too fragile...

He was a cheerful person, Sasaki Kojiro also showed a satisfied smile, and slowly raised the long knife in his hand.

It's not that he is greedy for life and afraid of death, and wants the other party to give up the idea of ​​liberating the holy sword and killing him.

He is not afraid of death, but it is rare to meet an opponent with such strong swordsmanship. It would be a pity if he could not compete with swordsmanship.

"Archer, there is a sword skill below. It is a sword move that I mastered when I accidentally wanted to chop off Feiyan. Please taste it."

"Please!"

Ren looked dignified and assumed an attacking posture.

The corners of Sasaki Kojiro's mouth turned up slightly, and a faint blue-purple light flashed on the long knife in his hand.

"Secret Sword Yan Returns!"

In an instant, three bright saber lights suddenly lit up, blooming at the same time in an incomprehensible way for ordinary humans!

It is said that this is the super sword skill that Sasaki Kojiro inadvertently comprehended when he cut Feiyan with his sword.

It is possible to cut a sword from the real world, and then superimpose two swords at the same time regardless of the concept of time and space.

As a result, simultaneous slashes from three directions are produced. This is a "multi-dimensional tortuous phenomenon" that transcends simple speed, delicacy, and false attack. It is a realm of gods that mortals basically cannot touch.

But the Assassin "Kojiro Sasaki" mastered this sword move with a mortal body, and he knew this move during his lifetime, not the ability he was given after death as a heroic spirit.

It can be called a model of "extraordinary and holy".

With such a powerful sword skill in his hands, Kojiro Sasaki is capable of fighting against the demon-deficient Saber, but unfortunately...

What he faced was Ren who also mastered the inhuman sword skill.

In just an instant, Sasaki Kojiro, who was stepping forward with the fallen leaves swept by the blade wind, slashed towards Renn with the three long knives that appeared at the same time due to the "multi-dimensional tortuous phenomenon"!
The three knives are about to meet at a point and kill him.

'Blade of Soul·Shadow Killer! '

A frightening cold light suddenly appeared, piercing the void, Ren stepped forward with a calm expression, and cut three times with the magic knife in his hand at the same time!

I saw six bright knife lights shining at the same time, like waves rolling up snow and silver lotuses blooming, making time and space seem to freeze.

Clang clang!
The sound of three clashes of gold and iron sounded at the same time, sparks shot out, and the three long knives that were slashing at Ren at the same time were all counterattacked by the magic blade, and his figure crossed the side of Sasaki Kojiro on the opposite side in an instant!

"Pfft-"

The blade entered the body, blood spattered!

With a crisp clang sound, a sharp blade of the sword suddenly fell to the ground, and the "Wu Gan Zhuo" in his hand was broken into two pieces. Sasaki Kojiro stared at the front blankly.

He didn't care about the horrible knife marks pierced through his chest, his mind was full of the six knife lights that appeared at the same time just now, the stunned look on his face disappeared, and he laughed loudly:

"Wonderful, wonderful, my way is not alone!"

"This is Killing Shadow. In terms of skill, your move is slightly better."

Ren's expression was indifferent, and the magic knife in his hand was still chilling.

Winning in the weapon, the A-level "Wuhuihuguang" is much stronger than "Wuqianzhuo". After the two swords interfering with time and space cancel each other out, he cut off the third sword together with the sword.

"No, no, although they haven't converged at one point, this stance was issued by you when you were stepping and charging. It can be seen that the requirements for performing it are lower, and it is more suitable for fighting on the battlefield..."

Sasaki Kojiro exclaimed, he was in a very good mood.

Although it may seem similar, the starting points of "Yan Hui" and "Killing Shadow" are completely different, and it can only be said that they lead to the same goal.

However, they all slashed three times at the same time. It is not difficult for the opponent to block "Yan Fan", just make a move before his "Yan Fan" converges.

"Archer, I am very satisfied with this battle."

With a satisfied smile, the surface of Sasaki Kojiro's body was filled with dots of blue fluorescence, which were about to dissipate.

"Victory is not a fight, let's fight again next time!" Ren suddenly said.

'And next time? '

The janitor was slightly taken aback, this kind of thing is unlikely.

Even if there is still the Holy Grail War, the possibility of the two being summoned by the Holy Grail again and at the same time is too small.

"Okay, let's fight next time!"

However, at the last moment before dissipating, Sasaki Kojiro seemed to have a feeling in his heart, and an astonishing look burst out in his eyes.

"Just now, it seems that I have vaguely glimpsed a higher realm..."

Before the words fell, he had disappeared.

"Yeah, my way is not alone!" Ren was taken aback, he looked at the magic knife in his hand, and laughed.

Only one step away, the world will be turned upside down, a brand new scenery.
