Chapter 739: Clash

Enkidu tightly wrapped around the Counter Shields. Su Xiao inside the Counter Shields looked at the Heroic King tens of meters away. He had almost killed the opponent just now, but unfortunately, he didn't succeed.

Although the Heroic King was arrogant, after experiencing this, he would never let Su Xiao get close easily again.

Drip, drip.

Blood dripped from the Heroic King's severed arm. His face was stained with a few drops of blood, and the warm feeling made him disgusted. As for the severe pain in his body, he ignored it directly.

"You, hurt me."

This time, the Heroic King didn't shout "mongrel" over and over again, but changed to the address "you". Su Xiao's strength was there. Just over ten seconds ago, Su Xiao almost cut off the Heroic King's head. If he shouted "mongrel" now, what would he, who had an arm cut off by a "mongrel", be? A mongrel dog?

Strength was the hard truth; the strong would be respected wherever they were.

The Heroic King put away his attitude of underestimating the enemy. Large golden spatial ripples filled the space behind him. He held the Sword of Rupture in his remaining left hand. He was going to get serious. If he didn't use his full strength now, he would be no different from a brain-damaged person.

The Heroic King had not yet been "corrupted" by the mud of the Holy Grail, so he was not brain-damaged. On the contrary, the Heroic King was very smart. How could a person who could govern a country be stupid?

Su Xiao looked at the Heroic King from afar. Undoubtedly, this was his biggest enemy in this derived world. The Heroic King was very strong once he got serious.

Although Enkidu failed to wrap around Su Xiao, if he deactivated the Counter Shields, he would definitely be tightly wrapped by Enkidu, and then he would be shot into a sieve by Noble Phantasms.

Su Xiao was not sure if he could break free from Enkidu, but he could cut Enkidu. Enkidu was an object that "binds gods"; that is, the higher the divinity, the more impossible it was to break free from these chains.

Ordinary slashes might not be able to cut several Enkidu chains at the same time, but Su Xiao had mastered Blade Master for so long, so he would naturally develop his own moves. Although most of these moves were not very practical, there were also excellent moves, such as Ring Break.

In addition to Ring Break, Su Xiao had been developing a move. Although that move was in the development stage, it was already very close to taking shape.

This move was not a skill upgraded by spending Paradise Coins, but one Su Xiao developed himself.

Standing inside the Counter Shields, Su Xiao sheathed Checking Zhan Long Shan. He held the hilt with his right hand and the scabbard with his left, holding Checking Zhan Long Shan horizontally in front of him.

"Fate is determined by heaven. Whether I can use this move or not depends on luck."

Su Xiao let out a long breath. He converted 300 points of Mana into Qing Gang Ying energy. These Qing Gang Ying energy wrapped around the sheathed Checking Zhan Long Shan.

The long blade slowly left its sheath, the speed of the draw extremely sluggish, while Su Xiao's aura grew increasingly sharp.

Shhh-la.

Fine slash marks appeared on the ground beside Su Xiao's feet. He hadn't even slashed yet and already had such an effect. If this blade were slashed out, the power could be imagined.

Su Xiao's body leaned slightly forward, making a rushing posture, the muscles in his legs tensed.

"This is not good."

Sensing Su Xiao's sharp feeling, the Conqueror King grabbed his Master Waver behind him and rushed to the distance in a few steps. Saber also gave Irisviel a look, signaling this beautiful young woman to retreat with her.

"This aura..."

The Heroic King, who had already gotten serious, stared at Su Xiao. This time, the golden spatial ripples behind him were all high-ranked Noble Phantasms. The Sword of Rupture in his hand pointed forward.

Just as the two were about to clash again, the Heroic King's expression suddenly changed.

"You, a small person, dare to dream of making me retreat?"

Not knowing what happened, the Heroic King was very angry. No, he was furious. He didn't appear angry when Su Xiao cut off one of his arms, because that wasn't something that made him angry, but now he was very angry.

"Tokiomi, you have quite a lot of guts."

The Sword of Rupture in the Heroic King's hand disappeared, and the golden spatial ripples behind him also dissipated.

"That's it for today."

While speaking, the Heroic King's body gradually faded, and finally turned into light particles and disappeared. It was Tohsaka Tokiomi using a Command Spell to make him retreat. Although he had an arm cut off, this was not a big problem. Tohsaka Tokiomi was an excellent mage, and recovering a severed limb of this degree was completely no problem.

The Heroic King didn't know yet that a surprise was waiting for him. Tohsaka Tokiomi's magic level was indeed not low, but was an arm cut off by Checking Zhan Long Shan really that easy to recover?

After the Heroic King left, Enkidu wrapped around the Counter Shields disappeared. Su Xiao withdrew the Counter Shields. The Heroic King had already left, so he no longer needed to use that move. Moreover, whether that move could be used was still unknown; he only had 70% certainty.

As for why he chose to use a move that hadn't been fully developed to deal with the Heroic King, it was because that move was fast. Even if the enemy was tens of meters away, Su Xiao could instantly slash to the opponent, and that kind of power was powerful, far exceeding the power of Ring Break. It was his strongest attack move, bar none.

Once the Heroic King left, the tense atmosphere on the field eased a little. Even so, the other Heroic Spirits still looked at Su Xiao vigilantly.

Su Xiao's previous slash left a deep impression on everyone. If it were used to assassinate a Master, no Master would have the possibility of surviving under Su Xiao's blade.

There were three Heroic Spirits left on the field. The Conqueror King and Saber stood in front of their respective Masters or proxy Masters. These two Heroic Spirits belonged to very upright Heroic Spirits; as long as they had a breath left, they would never allow Su Xiao to hurt their Masters.

Su Xiao's gaze swept over everyone present. The Conqueror King and Saber were both hard to deal with. One was good at group warfare, and the other held a holy sword + A-rank Instinct.

At a high point half a kilometer away, Emiya Kiritsugu observed the situation on the field through a sniper scope. His expression was not very good. Having one "monster" like the Heroic King already gave him a headache, and now another guy who almost instantly killed the Heroic King appeared. The Heroic Spirits in this Holy Grail War were so strong that he was speechless.

Actually, Emiya Kiritsugu was overthinking. Su Xiao's strength lay in close combat. If the distance were opened, he would not be the Heroic King's opponent. Su Xiao knew this point very well, and he would not be blindly confident.

Precisely because of this, Su Xiao would use his full strength as soon as they met, intending to use the advantage of speed + close combat to solve the Heroic King. Unfortunately, he didn't succeed. The Heroic King was not a soft persimmon.

"Are you all preparing to join forces to deal with me?"

Su Xiao looked at Saber and the Conqueror King. Now that the Heroic King had left, among the remaining three Heroic Spirits, the easiest to deal with was Hassan-i-Sabbah (Hundred Faces), so Su Xiao locked his target on him.

"Who is this?"

The Conqueror King didn't guess Su Xiao's class.

"Berserker." Saber solved the confusion for the Conqueror King.

"Berserker?"

The Conqueror King was stunned when he heard this. In his view, a Berserker would never be so rational. Even if they weren't added with a madness state, they wouldn't be so rational. The guy covered in black smoke who appeared before was more like a Berserker.

"What was that black one before?"

"That was Berserker's Master. If I'm not mistaken, the appearance of Berserker's Master was caused by Berserker."

"What?"

The Conqueror King's gaze changed. He would never turn his Master Waver into that ghost-like appearance, no matter the reason.

"You guy..."

The Conqueror King was obviously not very happy. The Conqueror King's Master, Waver, hid behind the Conqueror King, looking at Su Xiao with great dread.

"Making rash comments before understanding the whole story, is this Conqueror King Iskandar?"

Su Xiao's words made the Conqueror King cough lightly.

"There was a reason for that? But turning a Master into that ghost-like appearance, sigh, forget it, perhaps there were difficulties, but I cannot agree with your approach."

The Conqueror King agreed with Su Xiao's words very much. Before understanding the whole story, he shouldn't make rash comments.

"There was a reason? Perhaps. I don't explain what I do to others. You can also think that I forcibly turned him into a monster."

Su Xiao seemed to be chatting with the Conqueror King, but in reality, he had been sensing the movements of Hassan-i-Sabbah. This guy was an assassin in his previous life, good at concealment. If he didn't solve this guy this time, he didn't know where this guy would hide, which was very headache-inducing.

Hassan-i-Sabbah also found that the situation was not right. He had been wanting to retreat but hadn't moved. The reason was simple: he was being watched.

What was even stranger was that "Berserker" Matou Kariya disappeared when Su Xiao was fighting the Heroic King, not knowing where he went. ===== CHAPTER 740 =====
