Above Liudong Temple, Medea, dressed in a purple robe, held a metal staff with the sun and the moon embedded in it. Her cloak spread out like bat wings behind her, and she was surrounded by colorful circular magic circles, floating quietly in the sky.

On the roof of the house below, Red A held a large bow and looked up at Medea with a frown.

"How about it?"

Tong Shen and the other two rushed out of the house, looked at the red A on the roof and asked.

Hong A said calmly: "Just as we guessed before, Liudong Temple has become her magic workshop. She draws vitality from Liudong Temple and even the residents living in the surrounding area to replenish her magic power."

"Those monks who are unconscious are not just unconscious, they are also deprived of their magic power, so they are in a weak state."

"What?!" Shirou Emiya looked angrily at Medea in the sky, "How could you do this?!"

"Why not?" Medea chuckled, looking down at the people below, and said happily, "Although I am very disappointed with the performance of the watchdog, you are more reckless than I thought!"

"You rashly broke into my magic temple without any intelligence."

"How foolish!"

As she spoke, Medea suddenly stretched out the scepter in her hand, and countless magic circles were nested one after another, forming a giant purple magic circle in front of her and on the cloak behind her that was spread out like bat wings.

"not good!"

Toosaka Rin's pupils shrank, and she quickly called Tong Shen and Emiya Shirou back to the house they had just been in.

Hong A looked up at the sky calmly, raised his right hand gently, and chanted silently:

"The Blazing Sky Covers the Seventh Ring!"

The next moment, a huge pillar of light with purple outside and black inside shot out from the center of the magic circle, like a jade pillar falling from the sky, and hit the red a below with unstoppable force.

“Boom boom—”

A thick purple-black beam of light instantly hit the ground, destroying everything within a dozen meters around it.

The powerful shock wave spread wildly in all directions with the pit as the center, violently sweeping through all the surrounding buildings, instantly shaking up the dust on the surface of all the buildings.

The entire sky was illuminated by the dark purple light.

Gradually, the purple light faded away, and the pink and purple magic dust gradually fell.

A light shield like purple petals floated above Red A's head, protecting him and the house beneath him.

Outside the protection range of the light shield, bricks and soil were overturned layer by layer, and the ground seemed to be plowed, forming deep circular gullies around the house.

Medea couldn't help but chuckle as she looked at the light shield that looked as gorgeous as purple petals.

"Are you planning on competing with me in magic power, Archer?"

"Unfortunately, your opponent tonight is not me..."

Hearing Medea's words, Red A, who was still holding up the shield, was slightly startled.

The next second, Hong A suddenly turned his head and saw an extremely exaggerated axe sword flying towards him rapidly in the southeast sky, swirling with a whistling airflow.

"boom!!"

The spinning axe and sword hit the shield violently, then bounced back and smashed a house not far away with a loud bang.

Seeing this scene, Hong A's pupils shrank, and he couldn't help but ask: "You have formed an alliance with Berserker's Master?"

"Alliance?" Medea laughed and shook her head. "How is that possible? That guy is not someone who can form an alliance. I just lured him here. After all, he still has some unresolved grudges with you, especially you, right?"

As Medea's chuckle was heard, a black shadow like a mountain of flesh fell to the ground with a loud bang.

Countless stone bricks broke and flew, huge dust rose up, and turned into a violent shock wave that spread rapidly in all directions.

Hong A frowned and was about to jump down when a figure shot out from the house under his feet and met the huge black shadow.

“It’s Saber!”

Hong A breathed a sigh of relief.

At this moment, Lu Bu, holding a Fang Tian Hua Ji, also walked out of the house.

"Saber has gone to deal with the undead monster. Archer, you stay here and protect the monks in the house. Also, provide support when Saber is exhausted. As for that flying guy in the sky, leave him to someone!"

“…Leave it to you?”

Hong A glanced at Lu Bu in surprise, as if he couldn't think of any means by which he could deal with Medea.

Lu Bu smiled confidently, then swung the Fang Tian Hua Ji in his hand, pointing at Medea in the sky.

"I am Lü Fengxian from Jiuyuan!"

"Medea, let's fight it out!"

As soon as the words fell, an invisible wave spread out instantly.

Medea's pupils shrank, as if she had realized something, and she quickly climbed up into the sky.

But the invisible wave spread at a faster speed, instantly locking Medea in the sky.

The next moment, the surrounding environment changed drastically.

The originally dark night sky turned into a clear day, and the sky around me turned into a flat earth.

Medea turned her head in a daze, looking at the chevaux de frise beside her and the towering pass in front of her with some disbelief.

"This is... Hulao Pass?!"

“That’s right!”

Lu Bu's loud laughter came from the front.

Medea immediately deployed a magic circle and looked ahead vigilantly.

I saw an unparalleled general wearing a three-pronged purple gold crown on his head, a Xichuan red cotton robe with flowers on it, a beast-faced chain mail on his body, a lion-shaped belt around his waist, riding a neighing red rabbit horse, and holding a Fang Tian painted halberd, walking slowly out of the city.

The pitch-black Fang Tian Huaji drew an arc in the air, pointing towards Medea in front.

"Do you need someone to explain this to you?"

Lu Bu sat high on his Red Hare, looking down at Medea with an arrogant look.

Medea was silent for a moment, then shook her head and said, "No need. If I'm not mistaken, this should be a barrier that forces a duel, right?"

"I never thought you had such a hidden ability. It seems that the so-called reckless man is just your disguise. You are sacrificing some intelligence to make the enemy underestimate you, so as to hide more important intelligence..."

...What does this have to do with anything!

The corners of Lu Bu's mouth twitched, and he didn't know how to answer.

This kind of silence, in the eyes of Medea, was considered as tacit consent.

She suddenly spread out her cloak, condensing into purple magic circles, and said calmly: "Although I have been tricked by you for some reason, it is absolutely impossible for me to surrender... Make a move, let me see the strength of the top human being!"

Before she finished her words, a calm voice suddenly came from behind her.

"I see."

A middle-aged man in gray pajamas walked out barefoot, stopped behind Medea, raised his head, and looked at Lu Bu calmly.

"If I'm not mistaken, if I want to leave here, I have to defeat you first, right?"

“…Souichiro?!”

Medea looked at the man in gray pajamas behind her with disbelief.

"Why are you here?"

"Perhaps it's because I'm your Master..."

Kuzuki Soichiro said calmly: "Just now, I was still in the house where you set up the barrier, but the next second, I was pulled here by an invisible force."

"..." Medea turned her head sharply and glared at Lu Bu, "Isn't this a barrier that forces a duel?"

"Of course not!" Lu Bu smiled faintly, "This is a barrier that forces a duel. Don't forget that I am Lu Bu of Jiuyuan. How can the duel that happens to me be a one-on-one fight?"

…

…

In Liudong Temple, Hong A looked at the scene below in astonishment.

Lu Bu was seen riding on a red rabbit horse, holding a Fang Tian Huaji, standing in a semicircular silver light shield. Opposite him was Medea who inexplicably teleported from the sky, and a middle-aged man in gray pajamas who appeared out of nowhere.

"Is it Mr. Kuzuki?"

Toosaka Rin and Emiya Shirou, who had just walked out of the house, couldn't help but exclaim.

"He is actually Caster's Master?!"

The two looked at each other in astonishment, but Tong Shen behind them sighed softly.

As a time traveler who knew the plot, he was naturally familiar with the identity of the person in front of him.

Soichiro Kuzuki, a teacher at Hogunhara School, Caster's second master, and a powerful being known as the eighth-class 'Teacher'.

Before becoming a teacher, Soichiro Kuzuki was a member of a mysterious assassination organization. He had been honing his physical fitness and killing skills for decades, and therefore possessed strong combat effectiveness.

After being strengthened by Medea's magic, Soichiro Kuzuki can even face off against Heroic Servants.

In the original plot, Soichiro Kuzuki once had a record of defeating Saber, and was the first Master to achieve the achievement of tearing apart a Heroic Spirit with bare hands in the Fifth Holy Grail War.

But the Saber he was dealing with at the time was a version that had been greatly weakened by her Master Emiya Shirou.

Now facing Lu Bu at his peak, even with Medea by his side, he is definitely no match for him.

"It looks like you're leaving early, Mr. Kuzuki..."

Tong Shen silently glanced at Soichiro Kuzuki, then turned to look at where Saber and Berserker were fighting.

At this moment, a slender hand quietly climbed up his shoulder.

"You've been practicing martial arts for ten years, but you're always watching others fight. Are you itching to learn some new skills?"

"--scare!"

Tong Shen was startled by the sudden sound behind him. He immediately raised his hand without hesitation, grabbed the wrist of the person on his shoulder, and wanted to throw him over his shoulder... Huh?

The big hand on the shoulder didn't move at all.

Tong Shen was slightly startled, and continued to use force in disbelief, but still could not move it at all.

“…What the hell?!”

Tong Shen's forehead was covered with cold sweat, and he quickly lowered his body and took a step forward.

This time, the big hand did not stop, but instead raised it up very cooperatively.

Tong Shen stopped at the door, turned around, and looked at the smiling handsome face behind him with vigilance.

“…It’s you!”

"Who the hell are you?!"

Lin Zhongtian lowered his arms with a smile, and smiled softly at Tong Shen's vigilant gaze: "Don't be nervous, Tong, I'm just an ordinary pilgrim passing by. At most, I'm a wanted fugitive..."
