Chapter 1635: Are you sure?

Ryudoji Temple was one of the famous scenic spots near Fuyuki City. Except during the Holy Grail War, it was usually managed by the Ryudo clan. Ryudo Issei among them was in the same school as Tohsaka Rin, and the relationship between the two was extremely bad; the other party often called Tohsaka Rin a "female fox."

Walking on the stone stairs leading to Ryudoji Temple, Tohsaka Rin was in a very good mood because she finally had a chance to make a move. As for Illya, she kept staring at Su Xiao, looking like she might bite him at any moment, but she didn't have the habit of seeking death.

Bubu Wang's footsteps were very light, jumping five or six stone steps at a time, but its expression soon became low, because it remembered its former little partner, the grudge creature Flat-Head Brother. Unfortunately, Flat-Head Brother wasn't in this world.

Soon, Su Xiao saw Ryudoji Temple built on the top of the mountain. Ryudoji Temple was pitch black, and one could vaguely perceive magic power fluctuations.

Su Xiao had just arrived in front of the temple gate of Ryudoji Temple when a figure gradually materialized. This person had a blue ponytail tied up and was holding a long blade nearly 1.5 meters long without a handguard in his arms. If his figure wasn't upright enough, he wouldn't be able to use this kind of weapon at all.

The Heroic Spirit who appeared was named Sasaki Kojiro, and the long blade in his arms was named Monohoshizao.

"Is this our next opponent?"

Tohsaka Rin saw Sasaki Kojiro appear and took a few steps back.

"Your next enemy is the enemy Heroic Spirit, named Medea, Caster class, just right for you to hold off."

"No way, let me deal with the enemy Heroic Spirit? I'm a Master, I should deal with the enemy Master."

Tohsaka Rin obviously didn't want to deal with Medea. Even if her strength had improved, she still felt a bit guilty about dealing with a Heroic Spirit.

"Are you sure?"

A gentle smile appeared on Su Xiao's face.

"I... uh~, sure!"

"That's good, you are responsible for dealing with Kuzuki Soichiro, Amu is responsible for Medea."

"Leave it to me."

What Tohsaka Rin didn't know was that she had actually chosen the strongest one. That Master's melee ability could go head-to-head with the former Saber class, and even beat the other party until they were dazed. As a people's teacher and assassin, Kuzuki Soichiro was very fierce after gaining the blessing of magic power.

Kuzuki Soichiro's faction was a bit special. Medea of the Caster class originally didn't have Kuzuki Soichiro as her Master, but someone else.

Because of Medea's personality, her original Master died at her hands. Later, by chance, she met Kuzuki Soichiro. Because of Kuzuki Soichiro's personality of taking life and death lightly, the two reached a cooperation. Right now, Medea was completely loyal to Kuzuki Soichiro and used her own ability to summon Assassin (False), which was Sasaki Kojiro.

This explained why Kuzuki Soichiro had two Heroic Spirits helping him. In fact, Medea, as a Heroic Spirit, was the true Master in the squad. She provided magic power to Kuzuki Soichiro and Sasaki Kojiro. These two were both warrior types, responsible for frontal combat.

Amu and Tohsaka Rin walked past Sasaki Kojiro. Sasaki Kojiro, holding the long blade in his arms, didn't move. The swordsman's intuition was telling him that if he dared to be distracted now, his head would be slashed off in the next moment.

Clang.

Su Xiao drew the long blade from his waist and walked slowly toward the top of the stone stairs. The night wind blew, and a few withered leaves flew up. When a withered leaf flew in front of him, it suddenly shattered.

Seeing this scene, Sasaki Kojiro walked down the stone stairs and finally stopped on a landing nearly two meters wide between the stone stairs.

Sasaki Kojiro also drew the long blade Monohoshizao and threw the scabbard aside.

"Although I am nameless, my whole life has been sacrificed to the blade. This blade... is named Monohoshizao."

Sasaki Kojiro's legs were spread apart, his body's center of gravity lowered, and that long blade nearly 1.5 meters long was held horizontally beside his face.

Sasaki Kojiro's expression was solemn because he felt the pressure coming from Su Xiao. That feeling was like a vicious beast crouching down, looking down at him from above, and he wasn't even as tall as the beast's lower leg; their strength wasn't on the same level at all.

But the corners of Sasaki Kojiro's mouth curled up. He was summoned without any mission to speak of, arranged in front of Ryudoji Temple to become a "watchdog."

Now that he had encountered such a powerful enemy as Su Xiao, Sasaki Kojiro not only didn't feel fear, but instead wanted to try, try to slash something off this "vicious beast."

Su Xiao didn't speak. The ground under his feet shattered inch by inch, and Green Steel Shadow energy surged on Zhan Long Shan.

"Secret Sword, Swallow Return."

Sasaki Kojiro's body leaned forward, the long blade in his hand slashing horizontally.

Hum~

Su Xiao's vision seemed to fall into darkness, and a purple blade light appeared. Almost instantly, this purple light split into three, the center points gathering together, slashing toward Su Xiao.

Su Xiao's pupils contracted rapidly. This was three slashes made at the same time. It wasn't that it could be done just by being fast, but that it had achieved a "multi-dimensional bending phenomenon," which was slashing three times simultaneously. Just from this point, Su Xiao indeed couldn't do it.

The blade light of Swallow Return slashed in front of Su Xiao. At the same time, he had already slashed horizontally with one blade. It was neither gorgeous nor had a domineering name, but the shrill sound of breaking wind made one's hair stand on end.

Clang.

A light blue blade light streaked across the purple blade light of Swallow Return, penetrated Sasaki Kojiro's body, and then slashed into the dense forest behind him. A large expanse of trees was slashed off, eventually disappearing from sight.

With a clink, the front half of the Monohoshizao blade fell to the ground. Sasaki Kojiro looked Su Xiao up and down. He was looking for the slash marks on Su Xiao, and eventually, he was somewhat disappointed.

"How... did you slash Swallow Return?"

Sasaki Kojiro let out a long sigh of relief. Fresh blood sprayed from his chest and abdomen. Holding the broken blade, he simply sat on the ground.

"Multi-dimensional bending phenomenon, in the final analysis, is just a penetrating slash toward dimensions or space. Rather than saying you slashed three times simultaneously, it should actually be understood as you slashing once in each different dimension, eventually folding together in the same dimension. Although it's not difficult to understand, it's as difficult as ascending to heaven to actually do it. Moreover, I only shattered two of the Swallow Return slashes; the third slash did indeed wound me."

Su Xiao raised his arm. The crystal layer shattered under his arm, and faint traces of blood could be seen.

"Sure enough, wanting to slash you is much harder than slashing a flying swallow."

Just as Sasaki Kojiro's voice fell, a large expanse of fresh blood soaked his lapels, and fresh blood dripped along the corners of his mouth.

"That female fox is very unlucky."

Sasaki Kojiro gradually dissipated, and a legendary treasure chest fell to the ground. Sasaki Kojiro's Heroic Spirit attributes weren't strong, belonging to the bottom level, but his technique completely crushed more than 90% of Heroic Spirits. Precisely because of this, his treasure chest was legendary. This was the power of technique; as the saying goes, one thought can lead to divinity.

Su Xiao picked up the treasure chest on the ground and walked toward Ryudoji Temple. Ryudoji Temple at this moment was already very lively.

Inside the courtyard of Ryudoji Temple.

Bang!

Tohsaka Rin crashed into the wall. She slumped to the ground, lowered her head, and spat out fresh blood, her face full of pain. Not far in front of her was a man in a suit and leather shoes, dressed like a people's teacher. The man was expressionless, his fists clenched, and magic power surged on his fists. This was Kuzuki Soichiro.

Tohsaka Rin gasped for breath. She looked up at her opponent. As a Master, her self-esteem was very hurt. The other party was simply hanging her up and beating her, beating her to the point where she doubted life. ===== CHAPTER 1636 =====
