“Clang! Clang! Clang!”

The sharp long sword danced into a phantom that was invisible to the naked eye, and it continuously chopped at the figure below the stone steps with a powerful attack like a storm.

However, Lu Bu responded with ease, swinging the eight-sided Han sword in his hand steadily, and every move was full of traces of sword routines.

“…How is this possible?!”

Kojiro Sasaki was shocked but remained calm.

Soon, the two men who had fought fiercely separated again.

Emiya Shirou frowned as he looked at the two of them, and couldn't help but ask, "Is Sasaki Kojiro's swordsmanship really so vulnerable to Rider?"

“Don’t be fooled by him.” Saber shook her head and said with a complicated expression, “What’s powerful is not the sword skills, but Rider himself. With his martial arts attainments that have reached perfection, even if he speaks plainly, it contains tremendous power.”

"I see……"

Emiya Shirou suddenly realized.

Sasaki Kojiro suddenly sighed, clenched the samurai sword in his hand, and said solemnly: "I understand what the general means. In this case, why not decide the outcome with one move!"

"I have a sword technique that I mastered when I wanted to kill Feiyan. Although it is not a powerful technique, I am still quite confident. Please appreciate it, General..."

Lu Bu gently swung the Han sword and said calmly: "Good."

Sasaki Kojiro's expression froze, and a faint blue-purple light flashed on the long sword in his hand.

"Secret Sword——"

"Yan is back!"

In an instant, three bright sword lights suddenly lit up, blooming simultaneously in a way that was incomprehensible to humans, and slashed towards Lu Bu's chest, throat and eyebrows respectively.

This is the extraordinary sword skill that Kojiro Sasaki accidentally realized when he was slashing Feiyan with his sword.

It can flash out a sword from the real world, and then ignore the concepts of time and space and overlap two swords at the same time, thus producing simultaneous slashes from three directions.

This is a 'multi-dimensional twisting phenomenon' that transcends factors such as speed, dexterity, and feint attack. It is a realm of God that mortals cannot touch!

Feeling the spatial fluctuations coming from the front, Deng Yougang couldn't help but sigh.

"It's actually a spatial sword technique... Isn't this a bit of cheating?"

"Fengxian, let me take over!"

"No!" Lu Bu refused, "I can handle it!"

In an instant, a black and red airflow burst out from Lu Bu's body, and the eight-sided Han sword in his hand drew a strange arc in front of him. It actually collided with the long sword three times in an instant, blocking all three swords that were slashed out at the same time.

Three sounds of metal clashing rang out at the same time, and Lu Bu took a step forward and pierced through Sasaki Kojiro's chest.

“Puff——”

The blade pierced the flesh and blood spurted out.

Sasaki Kojiro lowered his head in shock, looking at the eight-sided Han sword with blood dripping from his chest.

"...He was actually blocked. He is indeed worthy of being called Lu Fengxian!"

“Puff——”

Lu Bu drew out his sword, threw the blood on the sword onto the ground, looked at Sasaki Kojiro who was full of emotion, and said calmly: "Your sword is indeed amazing. I can't resist it with my sword skills alone."

"But the Central Plains is full of hidden talents and I am far from being considered a representative of the sword art."

"In this regard, General Wang Yue is truly the best in the world!"

"I once fought with him when I went to Beijing. I was no match for him in both fist and sword skills."

"The sword that defeated you is called You Long, and it was created by Wang Yue. He can use this move to fight against ten martial arts masters at the same time. Although you can slash three times at the same time, it is still far from You Long's limit..."

"I see." Sasaki Kojiro suddenly realized, and then he said with emotion, "What an incredible sword skill. I hope that in the future, I will have the honor to meet Grandmaster Wang Yue..."

The voice spread with a hint of melancholy, and Sasaki Kojiro's figure turned into countless stars and disappeared in the air.

Lu Bu put away the eight-sided Han sword in his hand, walked forward without looking back and said: "Let's go to Liudong Temple!"

Everyone looked at the place where Sasaki Kojiro disappeared and sighed, then took a step forward and followed Lu Bu's pace.

Soon, everyone entered Liudong Temple, but the temple was empty and no one was visible.

Shirou Emiya had a bad premonition and hurried to the house where the monk lived, and as expected, he found the monk sleeping unconscious.

After measuring the breathing of several monks, Emiya Shirou couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, they are just comatose..."

Tong Shen turned the head of the man in the corner and said thoughtfully: "Come and take a look, is this Liudong Yicheng?"

Shirou Emiya hurried over, took a closer look, and said in surprise: "It's Issei, he's not dead!"

Toosaka Rin nodded and said, "That means Yanagi-san is not Caster's Master... Wait, what are you doing?!"

Toosaka Rin stared with wide eyes and flushed face as she looked at Emiya Shirou who was pulling off Ryudo Issei's clothes.

Tong Shen smiled and said, "Is he trying to confirm Liu Dong's identity?"

Without even looking up, Emiya Shirou replied, "Yes, Tousaka-san said that all Masters will have Command Seals on their bodies. Isn't this the simplest and quickest way to confirm it?"

“…”

Toosaka Rin was slightly stunned, but had to admit that the two of them's straight male logic did make sense.

“…Fortunately, there are no Command Seals.”

Emiya Shirou breathed a sigh of relief and put the clothes he had taken off on Ryudo Kazunari back on.

Toosaka Rin sighed and said, "Ryudo-san is not the master, this is indeed good news, but now how can we confirm the identity of the master of Ryudo Temple? There are so many monks in Ryudo Temple, we can't strip them all naked, right?"

Shirou Emiya frowned and asked, "Why not?"

Toosaka Rin's face flushed slightly, and after hesitating for a while, she stamped her feet and said, "Then you guys can dig one by one, I'll go outside to look for other clues!"

Just as Toosaka Rin was about to turn around and leave, Tong Shen suddenly exclaimed.

Toosaka Rin paused for a moment, then quickly turned around and asked, "What did you find?"

“Nothing…Nothing…”

Tong Shen turned his back to Toosaka Rin and Emiya Shirou, looking at the man on the bed with a strange expression.

The man was wearing white casual clothes, with his hands behind his head and his legs crossed. He didn't look like he was unconscious or asleep, but rather lying on the bed with his eyes closed to rest.

Of course, what shocked Tong Shen was not the man’s posture, but the familiar handsome face.

"Isn't this the antique dealer who sold me the three holy relics in China?"

"…Why is he here?"

Tong Shen looked weird and surprised.

Lu Bu, who was standing next to him, couldn't help but twitch his lips, and whispered in his heart: "Brother Deng... why is that person here?"

"Who knows?" Deng Yougang looked at the face of Lin Zhongtian on the bed and said helplessly, "Maybe the boss doesn't think watching us fight is enough, so he wants to end it himself..."

"..." Lu Bu was silent for a while, then asked in a low voice, "What should I do then?"

Deng Yougang said without hesitation: "Don't worry about him, just let him play by himself!"

Lu Bu nodded and stood behind Tong Shen in silence.

At the same time, Toosaka Rin and Emiya Shirou also came to Tong Shen.

Looking at the unfamiliar handsome face on the bed, Emiya Shirou frowned and said, "He is not a monk from Ryudo Temple. He is probably a pilgrim or something like that?"

Toosaka Rin glanced at Tong Shen's face and asked, "Why, does Tong know him?"

Tong Shen came back to his senses and nodded hesitantly.

"I guess we know each other..."

Tong Shen frowned and looked at the young man on the bed. He couldn't figure out why this guy appeared here.

Could it be that after he called the police, the other party evaded the police, smuggled out of the country and came to Japan?

…But why Fuyuki City?

If it was a few days ago, Tong Shen would definitely not think too much about it.

But now, he has summoned Lü Bu with the bones of the Red Hare, so he knows very well that the things sold by the antique dealer in front of him should be real, and his identity cannot be just a tomb robber and antique dealer...

"Could it be that he is Caster's Master?"

Tong Shen stared at Lin Zhongtian with suspicion, wondering whether he should take off his clothes to see if he had any Command Spells on him.

Lu Bu glanced at Tong Shen's face and couldn't help but remind him: "I advise you not to provoke him..."

"Oh?" Tong Shen suddenly turned around, looked at Lu Bu with sharp eyes and asked, "Why?"

Lu Bu's expression froze for a moment, then he shook his head and said, "I just noticed that this person seemed to be in some danger, so I warned him."

"……Yeah?"

Tong Shen's face was full of suspicion.

Toosaka Rin came from behind, waved her hand and said, "Okay, since he's just an ordinary person, let's ignore him. Let's first look for Caster and her Master hiding in Ryuudou Temple!"

Emiya Shirou also nodded in agreement.

Just then, a huge roar suddenly came from outside the house.

Toosaka Rin's expression suddenly changed, and she quickly said, "Archer has found her!"

The three of them looked at each other, then quickly ran out of the house.

Lu Bu lagged behind slightly. After everyone left, he thought for a moment, silently picked up the quilt, and covered Lin Zhongtian with it attentively.

...It’s cold now, don’t catch a cold, big brother!

Lin Zhongtian opened his slightly squinted right eye, glanced at Lu Bu in front of him, raised his hand, pointed to the corner of the wall, and then closed his eyes again, continuing to maintain his original posture calmly.

Lu Bu was slightly startled and turned his head to the corner, where he immediately saw a Fang Tian Huaji that was exactly the same weapon as the one he was holding.

Is this... the new treasure brought by the boss?

Lu Bu's heart moved, and then at the urging of Deng Yougang, he strode over and grabbed the halberd handle which was as thick as his arm.

In an instant, information flooded into my mind.

Lu Bu closed his eyes to digest it for a while, then opened his eyes with a happy smile on his face.

It turned out that the licking was not in vain!

With this treasure in hand, who else can be his opponent?
