Chapter 1633: Internal Troubles

After checking the "Team Slaughterer" title, Su Xiao felt that this thing couldn't be considered a debuff. Although he couldn't use the "Battle-Hardened" and "Traveler" titles for three derived worlds, wearing "Team Slaughterer" could reduce a lot of trouble; at least it could serve as a deterrent.

As long as the lone wolf contractors and adventure groups in the same world as Su Xiao didn't have a death wish, they wouldn't take the initiative to provoke him. In the absence of a grudge, Su Xiao wouldn't go looking for trouble with those contractors either, except for violators.

Having resolved Stan, Su Xiao truly felt much more relaxed. Previously, Reed had revealed a piece of news to Su Xiao, which was that a Tier 6 contractor was inquiring about his information. If this had nothing to do with Stan, Su Xiao absolutely wouldn't believe it. It was precisely because of this news that Su Xiao had accelerated the progress of settling old scores with the Blood Gate.

Being targeted by a large adventure group was definitely not a pleasant experience. Right now, Stan was dead. As for the remnants of the Blood Gate, this still needed observation. However, judging from the intelligence Su Xiao already had, the possibility of those people seeking revenge on him was very low, whether it was Nai Luo Yi or Huang Fen.

Not to mention whether Nai Luo Yi and Huang Fen were qualified to seek revenge on Su Xiao, the nature of the Blood Gate adventure group alone meant they wouldn't come for revenge. The Blood Gate was a large interest community, not an adventure group based on interests and tied by friendship like the Divine Emperor. For the people of the Blood Gate, interests were everything.

Back then, when Su Xiao killed someone from the Blood Gate, Stan's first thought really wasn't revenge, but coming to Su Xiao to demand compensation, so as to make up for the loss of the Blood Gate in cultivating that member.

The street lamp projected Su Xiao's reflection. When he fought Stan and Nai Luo Yi, although these two didn't cause him severe injuries, he had slashed his own chest a few times before using Shadow Flash, and using Shadow Flash twice in a row had exhausted his stamina. Right now, he didn't have the energy to continue fighting. If he encountered other Heroic Spirits at this time, it would be very bad.

The first to rendezvous with Su Xiao was Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, who had been patrolling nearby to avoid being ambushed while Su Xiao was fighting Stan and the others.

Soon, Amu's figure appeared on the street in the distance. It had originally come to reinforce Su Xiao, but unfortunately, the battle ended too quickly.

A few minutes later, Tohsaka Rin and Illya both arrived. After rendezvousing with Su Xiao, Tohsaka Rin was already panting, looking like she was about to collapse. Tohsaka Rin, who had just mastered new abilities, was full of fighting spirit, but unfortunately, she had no chance to participate in the battle, having been running from start to finish. She even suspected that she had come to participate in a marathon.

Illya, on the other hand, was sitting on Heracles' shoulder with a relaxed face. Seeing this scene, Tohsaka Rin was very envious, but she could only be envious. As for sitting on Amu's shoulder, she didn't want to be frozen to death.

"Resolved?"

Tohsaka Rin spoke. She took a few deep breaths, and her breathing gradually calmed down.

"Of course."

"Kirei Kotomine... is he dead?"

"Dead."

Hearing Su Xiao's reply, although Tohsaka Rin's expression didn't change much, her heart was not calm. After all, a great grudge had been avenged; that was, after all, the grudge of killing her father.

"What do we do next?"

"Go back to sleep."

Su Xiao was very tired now. Although this was a good opportunity to resolve other Heroic Spirits or Masters, he could only stop here.

There wasn't much time left in the Holy Grail World. Su Xiao had to seize this last opportunity to try and see if he could push through all the way.

The Blood Gate adventure group had started purging other contractors as soon as they entered the Holy Grail World. Nearly two hundred people were divided into several teams. At the very beginning of the world, more than 70% of those lone wolf contractors had died. If Su Xiao hadn't ambushed a purge squad, those lone wolf contractors would have been killed off long ago.

But even so, the remaining 30% of lone wolves wouldn't easily appear. Coupled with the bizarre situation of this Holy Grail War, right now, counting Su Xiao, there were six Heroic Spirits alive, with only Dog Brother unfortunately meeting his end.

According to Su Xiao's investigation over the past few days, the remaining combinations were:

Emiya Shirou (Master) + Heroic Spirit Emiya (Heroic Spirit).

Illya (Master) + Heracles (Heroic Spirit).

Kuzuki Soichiro (Master) + Medea (Heroic Spirit) + Sasaki Kojiro (Heroic Spirit).

Matou Sakura (Master) + Unknown Heroic Spirit.

Not to mention Emiya Shirou and Heroic Spirit Emiya who were still drinking tea, the Illya combination no longer posed any threat to Su Xiao. The reason was very simple: right now, as long as Su Xiao snapped his fingers, Illya would explode into a sky full of minced meat.

Right now, the only ones posing a threat to Su Xiao were the faction led by Kuzuki Soichiro, as well as Matou Sakura, who had never appeared.

That's right, Matou Sakura had also participated in this Holy Grail War, and she represented the Matou family. What surprised Su Xiao even more was that the old bug in the Matou family was in a cooperative relationship with Matou Sakura, rather than using the other party. As for Matou Shinji, he only had some impression of Matou Sakura; the two had met once in childhood and were not very familiar.

Not only Matou Shinji, but Tohsaka Rin and Emiya Shirou were not very familiar with Matou Sakura. Upon seeing this change, Su Xiao immediately thought that this was the result of the Blood Gate's interference.

One had to know that the Blood Gate wanted to create a Holy Grail this time. Illya obviously couldn't continue to serve as the carrier for the Holy Grail. The Holy Grail within her had already been eroded by malice. Even if summoned, it would just be that kind of Holy Grail that sprayed black mud outward, and apart from burning down most of Fuyuki City again, it had no other use. And Matou Sakura might be the new container prepared by the Blood Gate.

According to Su Xiao's speculation, the people of the Blood Gate had very likely protected Matou Sakura during her childhood and reached a very unstable cooperative relationship with the old bug, thereby letting other powerful magicians cultivate Matou Sakura, at least ensuring she had no malice in her heart. Only then would the Holy Grail created be a good thing. If Matou Sakura were allowed to enter the bug pool, she would collapse or turn evil sooner or later.

Right now, even the old bug didn't dare to touch Matou Sakura and even placed his bets on her. From this, one could see the strength of Matou Sakura's faction.

Right now, Su Xiao had already resolved the hidden danger of the Blood Gate. As for the remaining Heroic Spirits, apart from Matou Sakura's side which couldn't be determined, the others were not difficult to deal with. Therefore, the only ones Su Xiao needed to resolve right now were the Kuzuki Soichiro faction and the Matou Sakura faction.

One had to know that Su Xiao using the Devouring Core to absorb Heroic Spirit energy could increase the level of his Green Qing Qing Gang Ying ability. Such opportunities were rare. After Green Qing Qing Gang Ying reached lv. 50, an ability called Energy Interruption would completely awaken. The current Green Qing Qing Gang Ying level was lv. 45. The higher the Green Qing Qing Gang Ying level, the more the difficulty of upgrading increased exponentially. It could be said that the road ahead was long and arduous.

Thinking of this, Su Xiao's gaze turned to Heracles. The first thing that actually needed to be resolved was this one. Although he could control Illya's life and death, no one could be sure whether Illya would stab him in the back to get rid of his control. If she didn't even have this much courage, she wouldn't be able to control Heracles, who was of the Berserker class.

Su Xiao pushed open the door of a residential house. The room was pitch black. He began to sit on the sofa and take a nap. Although he really wanted to fall asleep, he couldn't do that.

The lights in the residential house soon turned on. Su Xiao ignored Tohsaka Rin and the others, sitting on the sofa and taking a nap the whole time.

Six hours later, the sky outside was still pitch black. Su Xiao, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, and Amu opened their eyes at the same time. In the still dim room, one man, one dog, and one cow all stood up. The room was dead silent. If an outsider saw this scene, they would definitely be scared out of their wits. ===== CHAPTER 1634 =====
