Type-Moon, joins the Lion King at the beginning

Chapter 389 Murderer
After experiencing many Holy Grail Wars, Li Ye's accumulated knowledge has reached an extremely rich level.

In his opinion, the Servants who were downgraded from Heroic Spirits existed as consumables in the ritual called the Holy Grail War.

Whether it is the Holy Grail War developed by the three Fuyuki families, or the Moon Holy Grail War started by Kiara Sesshōin for growth.

The loser's exit is at the cost of his own soul, which is transformed into some kind of energy.

Just like the underground world, it uses the souls of retired Heroes as its driving force, restricting their behavior of returning to the Throne of Heroes, and draws huge energy from their attempts to return to the Throne of Heroes as its driving force.

Things like this all prove the potential for the development of Heroic Spirits as Servants, and their energy can even be used to power the transformation of beasts.

And in this, after the death of the thing called the Heroic Swordsman, who absorbed the soul? The so-called deadly battle stage where the souls of the losers are absorbed, what is its true appearance?

It is to use this soul, which is full of anger, hatred and bound by karma, for some kind of ritual.

After covering the stage of the fatal battle, when Tomoe Gozen left the stage, Li Ye finally saw a part of his true face.

In the final analysis, the Heroic Swordsman is only after the departing soul, and his bloodthirsty behavior is to stain the soul with past karma, thus tainting the soul of the Hero.

"Is it a curse spell?"

Li Ye began to become interested in the sorcerer behind the scenes.

Tomoe Gozen once said that a sorcerer told her that this world is already hell, so it must be this sorcerer who distorted the heroic spirits and caused them to degenerate into demons.

With this thought in mind, Li Ye loosened the restrictions on Tomoe Gozen's soul, allowing the soul that had accumulated a lot of killing karma to be absorbed by the stage of the death battle that had not yet completely ended.

It was this action that finally allowed Li Ye to confirm the whereabouts of the soul.

'I found you.'

The corners of Li Ye's mouth curled up slightly. How could there be no marks on things that passed through his hands?

As long as the soul of Tomoe Gozen is absorbed, it will inevitably be noticed by him.

thump.

Musashi, who was slumped on the ground, looked up to the sky and shouted: "I'm so tired!"

In less than a day, he fought two heroic swordsmen in succession. Even though his sword skills had greatly improved, it was an astonishing drain on Musashi's mind and body.

"Then let's find a place to rest."

Li Ye put down what he was doing temporarily, smiled and pulled Musashi up, saying: "We can go find Ah Feng and take a rest."

"Okay, okay, let's eat at the same time!"

Touching his rumbling stomach, Musashi nodded vigorously and said with a smile: "I'm so hungry now!"

With Tomoe Gozen's departure, the darkness has dissipated.

Despite this, the residents of the castle town were still a little frightened.

The creatures and heroic swordsmen who had attacked them previously seemed like natural disasters to them and were completely defenseless.

When Li Ye and Musashi entered Tuqi Castle again, they saw a scene that looked like it had been rebuilt after a disaster.

Although the greatest damage suffered by Tuqi City this time was the punch that Li Ye threw to send Ba Yuzen flying, the other transformed creatures disappeared without causing any casualties.

Someone who was unaware of this took Musashi to find Tamamonomae's shop, and after a conversation, he took Musashi to stay there temporarily.

The night that was coming was not a vision created by the heroic swordsman, but a real starry sky.

Musashi, who was eating heartily, kept sharing his thoughts with Li Ye. Atei and Tiansuke, who were standing beside him, also fell asleep after a day of running around.

Although he hesitated about whether Atsu and Tansuke staying overnight in Tamamonomae, a seemingly respectable inn, would worry Sengo Muramasa, Li Ye finally chose this place because he had no money to go to a hotel.

And Tamamonomae comes with rice.

The long night seemed to slip away quietly like this. After Musashi had eaten and drunk his fill, he fell asleep. Li Ye, who finally had some free time, left the place.

Walking towards the end of the castle town of Tuki Castle, we headed towards the complex of buildings that truly constituted Tuki Castle.

The connection between the castle town and the real rustic city is closer to the distinction between the inner ring and the outer ring. Although the area is not large, it is indeed separated.

After working in the castle town for half a year, Tamamonomae learned that the one who ruled the Toki Castle was Tokugawa's blood relative.

This is not important, what is important is the soul's destination.

There were no pedestrians on the street late at night, but Li Ye still stopped.

"You're not a Heroic Swordsman, are you?"

Looking at the figure in the shadow not far away, his whole body was covered by a hood, making it impossible to see his face.

Although I didn't notice the reaction of the Heroic Spirit, that guy is undoubtedly a human living in the present, but he is very dangerous.

The amazing sword energy even surpasses that of today's Musashi, so he can perhaps be called a sword saint.

The cold gaze is devoid of any emotion, and it stares at the ghost of rationality that observes everything with icy rationality.

"Yes, I am different from the existence that becomes a soul after death. I have the same soul and flesh as when I was born, and I am also a living human being."

The cold words sounded, without any emotion, even the words were full of strange mathematical sense: "At the request of the sorcerer, I came to stop you."

There was not much reason, just the sorcerer's request, he agreed.

That's it.

"Witcher, I understand."

Li Ye showed a hint of amusement. It seemed that this sorcerer had a very high grasp of his whereabouts, but how did he manage to watch him without leaving any traces?

Now, unless it is a high-level observation, normal observation will be detected by Li Ye, just like Merlin's clairvoyance is extremely easy to be detected by the gods.

This was the case with Baozoin and Tomoe Gozen before. How did this sorcerer manage to accurately grasp the coordinates and information?
In other words, the object of observation is not him?

"Musashi?"

"I'm not here to fight you, Sword Master."

Even though they had not fought, Li Ye could sense that the other party's sword skills were superb and beyond his reach, but that was all.

If we destroy the Tuqi City together, we can kill the enemy.

Tread.

Didn't answer.

The sword ghost moved quietly and approached Li Ye at an astonishing speed, even faster than that of many heroic spirits. The ancient sword in his hand flashed with a terrifying cold light.

The sharp sword energy stung Li Ye's skin, as if he was injured before he was even cut.

That was a pinnacle sword skill that had reached the A-level or above through practice alone, or it could be called A++ level swordsmanship, which was completely capable of causing injuries to Li Ye now!

Realizing this, Li Ye drew his sword. Even though he knew he had lost in the sword skills competition, he couldn't admit defeat so easily!

The sharp sword energy was intertwining. Although Li Ye was at a disadvantage in sword skills, relying on his intuition and strong physical fitness, he was able to create a stalemate in this competition!
and--

"What a murderer!"

The sword skills are simple and every sword strike is deadly.

Li Ye held up the sword swung by the person in front of him, which was the highest achievement obtained after decades of studying the way of the sword.

The supreme achievement that made Li Yetu obsessed.

The sword is a killing skill, and he has interpreted this to the extreme.

Calm and efficient, all actions are without any emotion, every movement is calculated to the limit and operated from a [reasonable] perspective.

The art of swordsmanship is reasonable. In other words, as long as you study swordsmanship to the extreme, you can naturally abandon the meaningless and achieve everything.

The perceived time was being stretched. Facing such an opponent, Li Ye once again felt the joy of growth.

His sword skills were perfected after he watched Musashi fight many times and received personal lessons, which he turned into his own food.

Li Ye's sword skills may be only one step away from the divine realm and the inhuman realm.

But this step is a natural chasm.

For Li Ye, sword skills are not the ultimate pursuit of his life.

To him, sword skills are just a tool for killing.

Kill the opponent faster and more accurately.

This became even more obvious after learning the assassination skills from the old man of the mountain.

All this practice is just to be able to kill the other person in the end, just for the sake of killing.

Li Ye does not have Musashi's extreme pursuit, and the realm of emptiness seems a bit far away for Li Ye.

but--

'That doesn't seem bad, it's a skill that can be used to reach the level of a god, right?'

Looking at the killer in front of him, Li Ye seemed to see the charm contained in the technique.

pat.

Another sword handle fell into his hand, but what was constructed this time was not a holy sword, but a sword modeled after the demon sword [Myojin-kiri Muramasa] forged by Senko Muramasa.

"Try [Two Days One Flow]—"

With this thought in mind, Li Ye began to fight against the killer's sword with his clumsy sword skills.

With the experience taught by Musashi himself and after observing several battles, Li Ye also had some understanding of the battle between Niten and Ichiru. If it is used in this way, it is completely possible!

As Li Ye switched his sword skills again, the already stalemate confrontation suddenly tilted.

Naturally, Li Ye, who rashly used unfamiliar sword skills, was suppressed. He relied on his mature sword skills and physical fitness to fight against the sword master who had reached the peak.

However, Li Ye used a sword technique that was unfamiliar to himself with an extremely arrogant attitude, and used it in this battlefield of life and death.

The killer who noticed this did not miss any opportunity and continuously delivered fatal slashes.

However, the sword technique that Musashi practiced, [Niten Ichiryu], is a sword technique that can cope with many situations and defeat the strong with the weak!

With Li Ye's own extraordinary reaction and strength, he quickly became familiar with the use of dual swords, absorbing nutrients from battles, allowing this new sword skill to grow rapidly!
Perhaps from the perspective of kung fu, Li Ye lacked the pursuit of kendo and could not become a swordsmanship master like Musashi.

But when it comes to learning, Li Ye's understanding is no less than that of others. After years of accumulation, he now has the opportunity to blossom!
There was no shocking outbreak of fighting aura; the confrontation between the two only left faint sword marks, which advanced all the way into the Tuqi City.

Dozens of minutes later, the second round of the battle came to an end when all the weapons in Li Ye's hands were shattered.

But Li Ye did not feel defeated. Instead, he looked at the killer in front of him with great joy and exclaimed: "What a superb killing skill--"

Click click click.

Not only was the sword in Li Ye's hand broken, the killer's sword was also broken into pieces under Li Ye's gaze.
