Chapter 738: Pre-cognition

The battle on the field was about to break out. Excluding Su Xiao, this fake Heroic Spirit, there were four Heroic Spirits on the field: Hundred Faces, Saber, Conqueror King, and Heroic King. Among them, the Masters of three Heroic Spirits were hidden in the dark; only the Conqueror King's Master, Waver Velvet, was present. As for the beautiful young woman Irisviel, she was only a proxy Master.

Su Xiao jumped down from the wall. As soon as he landed, a roar sounded under his feet, gravel splashed, and Su Xiao turned into a black shadow and rushed straight toward the Heroic King.

"Hm? This speed..."

Although the Heroic King in full golden armor was arrogant, he was not stupid. After sensing Su Xiao's speed, he immediately judged that he could not engage in close combat with Su Xiao.

The Heroic King stood on a street lamp, looking down from a high position. Being arrogant, he liked to stand high up. If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't find any other high points nearby, he wouldn't have chosen a street lamp with a very small foothold.

Fluctuations appeared in the golden spatial ripples behind the Heroic King, and those Noble Phantasms slowly poked out from the spatial ripples.

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh~

One by one, Noble Phantasms shot out from those golden spatial ripples, totaling about dozens. These Noble Phantasms flew extremely fast and with great force, piercing through layers of air waves in the air, stabbing straight at Su Xiao who was rushing forward.

Su Xiao did not stop his pace. While rushing forward, he narrowed his perception range to make his perception more acute.

A Noble Phantasm stabbed into Su Xiao's perception range. In Su Xiao's perception, it was like piercing a water balloon. That was his perception circle, somewhat similar to the "En" of Nen abilities.

The moment the Noble Phantasm entered Su Xiao's perception range, his pupils tightened slightly, and his nerve reflex speed was perfectly reflected at this moment.

Checking Zhan Long Shan cut through the air. This slash looked like it was cutting into empty space, but that was not the case; this was using perception to predict.

Clang.

A halberd Noble Phantasm was cut in half at the waist. The broken halberd deviated from its original flight trajectory and flew obliquely to the side, emitting a whistling sound as it rotated, turning into light particles and disappearing before it flew very far.

Sensing this scene, Su Xiao's eyes flickered. These Noble Phantasms were not physical entities, which meant that using Supreme Blade to devour blade-type Noble Phantasms to enhance Checking Zhan Long Shan was unlikely.

Come to think of it, if the Holy Grail were to manifest all of the Heroic King's Noble Phantasms, the energy required would be terrifying, not something a single Holy Grail could withstand. The Gate of Babylon carried the crystallization of the wisdom, craftsmanship, and mysticism of an era.

Unable to use Supreme Blade to devour the Noble Phantasms within the Gate of Babylon, Su Xiao couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, but now was not the time to think about this. Other Noble Phantasms were already attacking.

Clang, clang, clang...

Slash marks appeared in front of Su Xiao, sparks splashed, and the sound of blades clashing rang out. The dozens of attacking Noble Phantasms were all slashed away by him. A large number of broken Noble Phantasms were stuck in the nearby ground, and for a time, soil flew everywhere, and dust rose.

At this time, Su Xiao was still about 20 meters away from the Heroic King. For the Heroic King, this was barely a safe distance, but unfortunately, he judged wrong. This distance was not safe, and he was about to pay the price.

Su Xiao's speed suddenly accelerated, and the Soru skill in his skill list entered the cooldown stage.

【Six Styles · Soru: Lv. 20 (Active Skill)】

Skill effect: Move at super high speed for 2–50 meters forward, during which the movement speed reaches the maximum value the body can withstand.

Hint: Each use of Soru will consume 50 points of Stamina, with a cooldown of ten minutes.

Hint: You can correct your direction or stop during the movement.

The Soru Su Xiao mastered was very special, extremely fast, but with many restrictions. His Stamina attribute was as high as 62 points. What was the concept of "movement speed reaching the maximum value the body can withstand"? It meant exerting the fastest speed produced by his Strength + Agility + Soru ability. The limit of this speed was the speed within his body's tolerance range.

At this moment, Su Xiao disappeared, disappearing from the perception of all Heroic Spirits. This was no longer as simple as disappearing from sight.

"What!"

The composure on the Heroic King's face disappeared.

In just an instant, Su Xiao had jumped up at some point, reaching the same height as the Heroic King standing on the street lamp, and had already arrived in front of him.

When hostile to a hero like the Heroic King who had personality flaws (arrogance) but extremely strong strength, either don't make a move, or kill the opponent before they get serious.

Qing Gang Ying energy surged on Checking Zhan Long Shan. Su Xiao's speed was really too fast. With the Heroic King's trash B-rank Agility attribute, if Su Xiao had already slashed, it would be a miracle if he could react.

Although the Heroic King's close combat attributes were trash, his Noble Phantasms were strong. This guy was simply a "rich blockhead". Usually, Archers shot arrows, but he shot Noble Phantasms.

Golden light spots appeared in the Heroic King's pupils, and a look of pain appeared on his face. At this moment, he briefly saw the future. Obviously, he had put away his arrogance and gotten serious.

Golden light flashed in the Heroic King's eyes. 0.2 seconds in the future, his head was cut off, his face full of astonishment.

Clang~

The long blade slashed across, and a few strands of short golden hair were cut off. Although the Heroic King could not dodge the slash that had already been made, he predicted it in advance before Su Xiao slashed and dodged it. It was unknown what kind of Noble Phantasm he used.

Looking at the Heroic King's expression, using that kind of Noble Phantasm just now shouldn't have been easy. After all, he was summoned by the Holy Grail, so no matter how strong he was, there was a limit.

Dodging this thrilling slash, the Heroic King immediately jumped backward. A golden spatial ripple appeared beside his hand, and a golden sword hilt poked out from the spatial ripple.

The Heroic King grabbed the golden sword hilt. As long as he took out this sword, solving the enemy in front of him would not be a problem.

This was the Sword of Rupture, an EX-rank Noble Phantasm. Under normal circumstances, the Heroic King would not use it, but the current situation was different from the past. The enemy didn't play by the rules at all, rushing to his front in an instant and directly engaging in a life-and-death duel with him, without even the most basic probing.

This was Su Xiao's advantage. He knew the Heroic King's abilities, but the Heroic King knew nothing about him.

The Sword of Rupture was also known as the Sword that Tears the World, an EX-rank Anti-World Noble Phantasm, with terrifyingly strong power.

"Mon..."

The Heroic King retreated, and Su Xiao would of course pursue relentlessly.

Clang!

The long blade slashed across, and blood splashed.

Pfft.

A severed arm flew up. The hand of this severed arm held the Sword of Rupture, which had not yet analyzed the rules of this world. Although the Sword of Rupture was strong, it needed to analyze the laws of this world first.

The Heroic King in mid-air was full of disbelief, but as the severed arm gradually fell, several Noble Phantasms shot toward Su Xiao. He had just slashed once, his old strength was gone, and he was in mid-air.

Bang.

Several Noble Phantasms stabbed Su Xiao. A muffled sound spread, and Su Xiao smashed toward the ground at high speed.

With a boom, a large pit was smashed into the ground. Washinoki Washinoki Jishi of Counter Shields wrapped Su Xiao inside. Pale blue energy meridians flashed on the Counter Shields, which were not pierced by the Heroic King's Noble Phantasms.

Just as Su Xiao stood up, chains suddenly shot out from the void near him. The tips of these chains had sharp cones, stabbing straight at Su Xiao.

Clang~

The sharp cones at the tips of the chains were bounced off by the Counter Shields, but these chains could move freely. Several chains instantly wrapped around Su Xiao. Because of the Counter Shields blocking around him, these chains didn't wrap around Su Xiao, but only around the Counter Shields.

These chains were one of the Heroic King's Noble Phantasms, Enkidu, and also the Noble Phantasm the Heroic King trusted the most.

Click, click, click...

Enkidu contracted, tightly wrapping around the oval-shaped Counter Shields that were spliced together.

Su Xiao inside the Counter Shields didn't look very good. He couldn't figure it out; he couldn't figure out how the Heroic King dodged his first slash.

That slash was aimed directly at the Heroic King's head. With the Heroic King's close combat ability, it was absolutely impossible to dodge that slash. Moreover, the Heroic King's dodging action at the time didn't look like a dodge after capturing the slash with vision or perception; it looked more like he had predicted the slash in advance.

Thinking of this, Su Xiao secretly thought, could it be that Golden Flash could use "that" Noble Phantasm, an EX-rank Noble Phantasm of the same rank as the Sword of Rupture.

Su Xiao felt it was unlikely. Not to mention the effect of that thing, if that thing appeared in a Second-Tier derived world, it would be too exaggerated. Even if it really appeared, that thing would be restricted and would never reach the effect he knew.

After a few days of observation, Su Xiao discovered that the Holy Grail world was not an open world like Pirate, so it had little to do with the higher-tier Type-Moon world. Reincarnation Paradise should have separated the Holy Grail world from the Type-Moon world; otherwise, the difficulty of the Holy Grail world would have risen sharply, or even directly become an open world.

Therefore, Su Xiao no longer considered that Noble Phantasm that would never appear in its complete form in a Second-Tier world. Regarding Golden Flash, the most troublesome were the three abilities: "Sword of Rupture", "Enkidu", and "Gate of Babylon". The Sword of Rupture looked terrifying, but in reality, it couldn't reach the level of destroying the world. What sword that opens the sky and earth, bullshit! The Holy Grail summoned in this Holy Grail War couldn't open the sky and earth, let alone the Noble Phantasms held by the Heroic Spirits it summoned. Even if the Sword of Rupture once had that ability, the current Sword of Rupture definitely wasn't that strong.

In the original work, the mud inside the Holy Grail surged out, only burning down Fuyuki City, ===== CHAPTER 739 =====
