Chapter 1637: Misunderstood, we were just passing by

In the forest near Ryudoji Temple, Emiya Shirou and Heroic Spirit Emiya were walking quickly through the forest. Suddenly, Heroic Spirit Emiya stopped his footsteps.

"Stop."

Heroic Spirit Emiya spoke. His gaze scanned the forest, while Emiya Shirou beside him was full of confusion.

"As expected of Red A, to be able to maintain such strong vigilance with Emiya Shirou's magic talent."

A yellow-haired youth jumped down from a tree. He had a metal earring on his right earlobe and was dressed somewhat sloppily.

"Don't talk nonsense with them. C-sister and the people's teacher shouldn't be able to block that monster for long. Even if you add a Kojiro, it's just sending World Source to that monster."

Footsteps came, and a little loli appeared. She was wearing a hood and holding a staff that looked like a stun baton. That's right, judging from the fluctuations of this thing, this was indeed a thunder-attribute staff, and its performance was excellent, at least of gold quality. For ordinary Tier 4 contractors, gold equipment was the mainstream, and legendary grade was hard to come by.

"The good news is that these two aren't strong. The bad news is that the monster has already come down the mountain."

A voice came from the shadows. This person didn't appear, but judging from the words, he should be a perception type.

"Hidden for so long, can only bet on this one big one. This is the plot protagonist. Killing him won't be rejected by the world. Do it."

The leader of the squad hiding behind a tree spoke. As soon as his voice fell, the yellow-haired youth had already rushed toward Heroic Spirit Emiya.

Just at this moment, a figure appeared out of thin air near Heroic Spirit Emiya; it was Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, who had detached from the environment. As soon as it appeared, that yellow-haired youth immediately slammed on the brakes, because he received a prompt that could be described as terrifying.

【Warning: The contractor is attempting to antagonize the faction of the wearer of the "Team Slaughterer" title. Please ensure your side has at least 50 people.】

【Warning: The "Team Slaughterer" title is a special title obtained after killing the leader of a large adventure group. Please consider carefully whether to antagonize him.】

【Warning: The wearer of the "Team Slaughterer" title is approaching at high speed. 1150 meters, 973 meters, 755 meters, 429 meters. Warning: The wearer of the "Team Slaughterer" title has approached within 500 meters. Expected to arrive within 2 to 3 seconds. Please make a cautious decision.】

Seeing these three blood-red warnings from Reincarnation Paradise, the yellow-haired youth almost spat out a mouthful of old blood. This was simply too terrifying.

Boom!

A loud explosion came from beside the yellow-haired youth. The spreading air waves and smoke made him take two steps back, blocking in front of him with one hand.

When the smoke dissipated a bit, the yellow-haired youth saw a man wearing a black long leather coat and holding a sharp blade standing not far away. The ground around the man presented a spider-web-like crack due to the strong kinetic impact.

"Heh, heh, misunderstanding. I just came to join in the fun, no other meaning."

The yellow-haired youth raised his arm slightly and retreated slowly. In the past, he was also a fierce lone wolf. Unfortunately, in the Holy Grail World, he had been beaten into a sick dog by the Blood Gate adventure group. Right now, it was obviously someone more ruthless who had come. As for the fate of the Blood Gate, the yellow-haired youth in the Holy Grail World naturally knew some of it.

Su Xiao merely looked at the yellow-haired youth. Although he could slaughter the other party in a short time, doing so obviously had no meaning. With the scarlet card drop rate of the Holy Grail World, fighting with contractors was actually a bit of a loss.

Seeming to see that Su Xiao had no intention of making a move, the yellow-haired youth retreated faster and soon disappeared into the forest. As for his temporary teammates, they had long since fled far away.

"This title seems quite good."

Su Xiao muttered, then turned his gaze toward Emiya Shirou and Heroic Spirit Emiya. After learning that Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang had already tracked these two, Su Xiao had decided to resolve them first, otherwise Heroic Spirit Emiya would come to ambush him again.

Seeing Su Xiao appear, Emiya Shirou didn't fear him. Other things aside, just this courage alone was not something an ordinary person could possess.

"Why must we kill each other in the Holy Grail War, and why summon deceased Heroic Spirits to kill each other, letting those dead Heroic Spirits experience failure and regret once again?"

Although Emiya Shirou didn't know much about the Holy Grail War, he obviously didn't approve of this behavior.

Su Xiao didn't speak. In reality, summoning Heroic Spirits to kill each other was merely to satisfy the ambitions of magicians. Those "scholars" who specialized in magic and magic power didn't care at all about how the Heroic Spirits felt. Most traditional magicians treated Heroic Spirits merely as familiars.

"Saber, as..."

Clang!

Before Emiya Shirou could finish his sentence, blade light crisscrossed. Su Xiao didn't have the habit of preaching to others, nor would he listen to the nonsense of people with different stances. After all, everyone had different philosophies.

Ding, ding, ding...

Blade light flashed. The short blades in Heroic Spirit Emiya's hands broke one after another. The weapons he projected obviously couldn't block the blade light of Zhan Long Shan.

With a bang, mud splashed under Su Xiao's feet. In the next moment, he had already appeared in front of Heroic Spirit Emiya, the long blade in his hand drawing a silver chain, slashing toward Heroic Spirit Emiya's neck. This was Su Xiao's personal habit: the first slash of a battle always went straight for the enemy's head.

"Projection, start."

Heroic Spirit Emiya spoke in a low voice. Several Noble Phantasms appeared above him. This move was very similar to Gilgamesh's Gate of Babylon.

Several sword-shaped Noble Phantasms appeared, attacking from above Su Xiao. If Su Xiao continued to slash this blade, he would definitely be able to slash off Heroic Spirit Emiya's head, but he would also be wounded by those few Noble Phantasms. The quality of these few Noble Phantasms wasn't low. Heroic Spirit Emiya's decision was very decisive; he knew the gap in hard strength between himself and Su Xiao, so he needed to use combat intelligence to make up for it.

The long blade in Su Xiao's hand slashed across Heroic Spirit Emiya's neck. At the same time, six sword-shaped Noble Phantasms stabbed into Su Xiao's body, piercing his head, chest, and abdomen respectively.

With a swish, several Noble Phantasms merged into the mud. What Heroic Spirit Emiya didn't expect happened: although Su Xiao's blade slashed across his neck, he was completely unharmed.

The long blade in Su Xiao's hand shifted. The long blade that had just slashed across Heroic Spirit Emiya's neck flipped, slashing toward Heroic Spirit Emiya's neck with a reverse blade.

Drops of fresh blood splashed. By this time, Heroic Spirit Emiya finally understood what was going on. When Su Xiao slashed that blade earlier, his whole person had pierced through space. Precisely because of this, he couldn't attack him, and he couldn't attack Su Xiao either.

Fresh blood sprayed from Heroic Spirit Emiya's throat. Su Xiao kicked him straight in the abdomen. By now, Heroic Spirit Emiya couldn't feel pain anymore. His vision gradually turned pitch black, and blue smoke wrapped him within it.

"Projection, synchronize."

With almost the same move, a short blade appeared in Emiya Shirou's hand. As Heroic Spirit Emiya fell, he successfully broke through to Su Xiao's front with the cover of Heroic Spirit Emiya.

The short blade slashed toward Su Xiao's chest. Clearly, Emiya Shirou wasn't used to slashing the enemy's vital points directly. This wasn't because he was soft-hearted when facing the enemy, but because he simply didn't have the concept of slashing vital points first in his heart.

The short blade attacked. If Su Xiao had been weakened by more than 95%, perhaps Emiya Shirou would have succeeded.

Boom!

An ice battle hammer smashed onto Emiya Shirou's spine, smashing him into the ground. Fresh blood splashed like a blooming flower.
