Chapter 24 The Secret Sword Yan Returns
Assassin stood naturally at the door, his long sword drew an elegant arc, blocking the attack of the archer with his own hands. () (Baidu search:, the fastest update to read novels)
They have been fighting for dozens of rounds, but the positions of the two have not changed at all.
Assassin, who was standing on the upper stairs, did not move a single step.
Archer who wanted to rush up to the stone steps could not approach him at all, but was just spending time and physical strength.
Archer uses a double sword, which only blocks with one hand and counterattack with the other hand. Although it is a short sword, it must fight with the enemy in close proximity, as long as it is close enough to the enemy, dual weapons will have a great advantage over single weapons. This kind of combat is a high-risk, high-tech tactic.
Assassin holds a long sword that is more than five feet tall. The advantage is that it can attack before the enemy attacks, but once the enemy approaches, the long sword will be at a disadvantage because it is too long and inflexible.
As long as the archer blocks the attack and approaches the assassin, the outcome of the battle will be clear at a glance.
However, every time I wanted to hold the opponent's knife and move forward, Assassin twisted his wrist and easily forced the archer back.
Assassin naturally stretched out and retracted the long sword, manipulating the long sword's attack range, and drew a soft curve in the air with only the wrist force, cutting the archer's attacks again and again.
The sword technique is dazzlingly beautiful and difficult to see the speed. Archer can't lock the long sword with two swords, so he can only retreat under the attack.
Sure enough, the Servant's martial arts are unreasonable.
I have to say that although Archer is a powerful man who has experienced many battles and can compete with Lancer, Assassin's swordsmanship is still better. ()
For him, the battle was just a gatekeeper. He had no need to force himself to chase the retreating archer, nor did he want to give up on the advantageous position.
The ancient swordsman showed a relaxed smile on his face, clearly enjoying this battle of sword edges.
He is indeed the legendary sword master. Living in the Keizao era, he held a long sword called "Dry Rod" and was widely circulated as his peerless sword master Miyamoto Musashi's old enemy. He was named Kojiro Sasaki.
No chance to win!
Under Assassin's defense, Archer rushed up the steps again and again, and retreated helplessly. Facing the hero who became famous with his sword, Archer should take out his "bow" to have a chance of winning.
Assassin observed the archer leisurely, the blade hanged weakly, but he could not move forward as a gap. The man had no posture. If he could not swing the knife under any posture, he would not be able to use the long knife.
"Funny, sure enough - you're not a real warrior."
Assassin stood on the high steps, looking down at the archer who had retreated again, and asserted without mercy.
The arbitrary words made Archer stop in surprise.
"Oh, how could you make such a judgment?"
Faced with the archer problem, the ancient warrior made the following assertions:
"These pairs of swords are not your real weapon, because you only love these pairs of swords, but don't trust them. () such a person is not a real warrior. It is accurate to judge based on your breath, right archer."
This legendary figure who stood in front of Archer, who had been circulating in Archer's ears, showed his super strong sense of sword.
Accurately judging the archer realizes the difference between him and the other party, the archer shows a frustrated expression:
"Sure enough, I am still very different from the legendary genius. Although I have done hard training, I can still be seen through in front of a real master."
"So--are you not ready to bring out your real weapon?"
Looking at Archer's pretentious behavior, the warrior took the next step.
"That depends on whether you can let me take it out."
Archer's swords hung randomly on both sides. As Assassin said, this is not the real weapon of Archer, but something that can be given up as it is interested.
The real weapon he hid was the reason why Assassin was afraid of not chasing him.
"Well, I'm so confident in myself. If you can't bear to take action, let you see my secret sword."
After the Long Sword Warrior made the announcement, he slowly descended to the side of the archer.
The warrior who gave up the vantage point above did not relax Archer's expression, but instead, his expression became more serious.
The legendary Sasaki Kojiro has only one secret sword move-
Assassin raised his long sword, and for the first time since the war began. ()
"Take out your weapon or die."
There is no time for hesitation, and if you hide it, you will die.
Archer's sword with both hands disappeared, he raised his right hand and opened his mouth to chant his real name.
"Secret Sword-Yan Hui!"
There is no gathering of magic, no long preparation.
With a lightning strike, Assassin's sword fell straight from the top of Archer's head.
Archer's proud eyes were as sharp as an eagle, but he could not keep up with Assassin's speed at all, surpassing the speed that Archer could defend. Moreover, he didn't even have a defensive weapon in his hand.
There is no need to show the secret sword's back move, just one strike can split the archer in half.
Just the moment lightning was about to hit the red archer.
"lo—aias (Seven Rings of the Sky)"
When you shout out your real name, your atmosphere is shocked.
Seven petals appeared out of thin air from archer's right hand, guarding archer.
The name Aias is the only shield of the gun thrown by the great hero in the Trojan War. It is shaped like a petal, with a total of seven pieces, each of which is enough to compete with the ancient city walls.
This is Archer's most proud barrier treasure. In front of this shield, even the superb sword skills cannot break through the defense.
At least as far as the user archer knows, he is confident that no weapon can break through.
As Archer expected, lightning disappeared when it touched the first shield and turned into a style and returned to Assassin's side.
Next, just...
"Varied……"
At the same time, the two petals withered in all directions.
Before the attack was seen, assassin's sword had long been retracted.
Without a powerful magic supply, no matter how high the skills are, they cannot break the city wall.
However, the two petals did disappear.
——It’s indeed an evil sword.
The scene in front of me has exceeded the level that Archer can understand.
"It's a shield-"
The retreating warrior sighed leisurely.
"I can't do anything about such a strong shield. No matter how high the skills are, they will have their limits."
"How did you do it?"
The unknown phenomenon angered the archer. He didn't even see the attack. His proud defense was destroyed. How could the archer, whose life was seriously threatened, be calm?
——Yan Returns.
I have also heard of the unique skills of Kojiro Sasaki, a generation of swordsman.
I don’t know how many of the names of the Unbeaten Sword Heroes were circulated from this move.
But can a mere sword move really reach the level of splitting the city wall?
"Don't you understand? It's not a great skill. It's just something you learn naturally if you want to cut off the swallows occasionally."
——It’s weird if you understand.
Assassin's long sword lifted up slightly, as if depicting the blow just now.
"Did you see the archer? What about swallows? It can withstand the wind and avoid the blade. It has nothing to do with whether it is fast or slow. No matter what kind of knife it is, it cannot swing the air without vibrating the air, right? They just feel the vibration and change the direction of the flight. Therefore, no matter what kind of blow, they cannot cut off the swallows. The knife is just a line and cannot catch the swallows that are coming and going in the air."
"Then, just surround his retreat. One sword attacks the swallow, and the other sword seals the retreat path that is dodged by the wind. But they are very agile. With this long sword, you can't catch up with the second sword. If you want to succeed, you have to do it almost at the same time. But that is no longer a realm that humans can do. Although I have known that it is impossible to achieve, but-"
"——Unfortunately, I have nothing else to do. This is what I think of the God of Transcendence. When I notice it, it will be like this. The boring idea of trying to cut off the swallow became a secret sword that made a prison with multiple sword lines."
Assassin said calmly, however, this level of sword skills is no longer something that ordinary people can achieve, and—
The knife technique just now was not that simple.
Almost at the same time? How is it possible.
The attack was completely simultaneous.
assassin——Sasaki Kojiro's long sword, there were indeed two at that moment.
It can be understood as the second strike that was cut, catching up with the first strike.
Then, it is not the sword that splits his treasure.
But it is destroyed by broken space.
"...Multiple empty dimension twists and turns! No magic is useful. Just using sword skills, you can reach the service in the field of treasures."
Sasaki Kojiro - a swordsman genius in the Keizaku era, although he does not have the "treasure" of heroic spirits.
But the demon sword he waved to reach the realm of God was enough to compete with the heroic spirit armed with treasures.
"But the foothold here is not good. Yan Hui's trajectory originally had three. If this place was a little wider, it would not add a side blow."
Assassin never looked at Archer again, turned around and walked towards the door, and a boring voice came from behind him:
"However, it doesn't matter if you add one blow. I'm a waste of resources by using Yan Zhuan Shield. Stop it. Since you can't kill you, it's boring to fight with your swordsmanship. Why don't both sides take a step back?"
Assassin returned to the mountain gate and seemed to have no interest in Archer anymore.
For Kojiro Sasaki, an archer who loves to use the city wall-level shield and bow and arrow is an enemy with no aesthetic sense or technical content.
However, in the battle between the same Servant, this contemptuous attitude only made Archer laugh out loud.
"Since I took out my weapon, then, how about you take my move, assassin."
Assassin stood in his original position and looked down uninterestingly.
"Oh, you are not a warrior, what abilities are worth revealing, archer."
