Chapter 190 [Riding Alone for a Thousand Miles]

Riding the Hero's Reins, an A+ rank Noble Phantasm, Medusa's strongest attack!
After discovering Guan Yu's absolute advantage over demons, she knew she could never be his match.

To survive against this Lord Guan, the only option is to fight to the death!
Medusa gripped the reins tightly with both hands and rode through the crimson magic circle in front of her.

A dazzling white light burst forth beneath her, instantly coalescing into the shape of a magnificent celestial horse.

Two wings radiating white light instantly unfurled from the sides of the Pegasus's back, and the surrounding air seemed to fill with white feathers as a result, creating a sacred and majestic, dreamlike scene.

In an instant, the sky above the entire forest was illuminated by that dazzling white light.

The mighty Guan Yu stood on the ground, watching the white horse swooping down from the sky, and a hint of an indescribable smile finally appeared in his majestic phoenix eyes.

Right? What kind of battle is it if you're always running away?
Cavalry charges are the romance of generals and the battlefield!
Without any hesitation, Guan Yu grabbed the Green Dragon Crescent Blade at his side and miraculously mounted his horse.

A crimson magic circle appeared as he moved, from which streams of red light emerged and coalesced into an incomparably magnificent crimson steed beneath him.

Guan Yu held the Green Dragon Crescent Blade in his right hand and the reins in his left, a slight smile appearing on his red face.

"It's nice to meet you again, old friend!"

"Xilulu!"

The magnificent Red Hare let out a long neigh that shook the mountains and forests, and then took off, its four hooves treading on red light as it charged into the sky.

Feeling the excitement and restlessness of Red Hare beneath him, Guan Yu was suddenly filled with heroic spirit. In a daze, he seemed to recall the past, returning to those days when he was invincible and looked down on all the heroes of the world.

He brandished his long sword, pointing it at Medusa riding a celestial horse in the sky, and said proudly:
"How dare the light of fireflies compete with the bright moon?"

"Remember this: the one who took your head was one of the Five Tiger Generals, Marquis of Hanshou, Guan Yu, Guan Yunchang!"

Before she finished speaking, Medusa pulled on the reins, and with a long, ethereal neigh from the winged horse Pegasus, they swooped down.

Guan Yu also spurred his Red Hare horse, which charged into the sky amidst the red light.

During this process, the Green Dragon Crescent Blade in his hand emitted a dazzling green light.

Streaks of azure light enveloped him and the Red Hare beneath him, forming a phantom image of azure dragon heads—

【Green Dragon Crescent Blade - Riding Alone for a Thousand Miles】!
It combines the abilities of many legendary generals, such as "slaying Hua Xiong while the wine was still warm", "slaying Yan Liang and killing Wen Chou", and "passing five passes and slaying six generals", and possesses the greatest attack power in one-on-one battles against generals!

Unfortunately, in folk legends, Guan Yu is said to have been defeated by Lü Bu.

This resulted in the character's level not breaking the upper limit, remaining at only A++...

"Roar!"

As the phantom of the Azure Dragon appeared, an incredibly realistic dragon roar resounded throughout the heavens and earth.

The azure dragon's phantom left a long afterimage in the air, flying towards the sky at near teleportation speed.

"boom!"

In the next instant, the illusory image of the Azure Dragon collided violently with the Pegasus Knight, who had transformed into a white streak of light.

A terrifying power erupted, and streams of radiant energy rippled and surged at the point of collision, forming two arc-shaped energy shields, one blue and one white, colliding with each other.

The two remained locked in a stalemate in mid-air, and the air seemed to freeze for a moment.

The next instant, a violent shockwave swept out, utterly destroying the surrounding forest.

Under the shadow of the Azure Dragon, Guan Yu laughed loudly, actually withdrawing from the form of Guan Sheng Di Jun. The Azure Dragon Crescent Blade in his hand emitted a violent hum like a dragon's roar, and slashed forward with the force of a thunderbolt.

"boom!"

A cyan blade of light swept across, instantly shattering the blue-white energy shield that had been locked in a stalemate.

Medusa, riding the celestial horse 'Pegasus', sighed softly, gazing at the ever-growing blue light of blades in front of her, and slowly closed her amethyst-like eyes.

"Pfft-"

A dazzling flash of light swept across her neck, severing that beautiful head.

Guan Yu brushed past Medusa, hovering about a thousand meters in the air, looking down at her falling body and head.

"boom!!!"

With a loud crash, the headless corpse riding the celestial horse slammed into the ground with undiminished force.

The remaining energy erupted with a deafening roar, shaking the earth and causing the hard soil to crack layer by layer.

The violent shockwave spread wildly in all directions from the point of impact, uprooting all the trees that were affected and causing them to crash to the ground amidst the waves of mud.

Smoke and dust billowed into the sky, like a small nuclear bomb detonating in an instant, creating a surging mushroom cloud.

The tremor was so strong that even Fuyuki City felt a slight tremor, let alone the Matou family not far away.

……

……

Time goes back to five minutes ago.

As we all know, the power of Heroic Spirits surpasses that of humans. Even a veteran magician like Zouken Matou could not possibly be a match for a Heroic Spirit, especially Saber.

With Saber's help, Hakuzawa Akira and Emiya Shirou unsurprisingly defeated Matou Zouken.

It is said to be a defeat because after his death his body disintegrated into countless twisted and writhing worms.

As you zoom in, you see countless insects wriggling wildly, sending chills down your spine and causing your sanity to plummet.

Bai Zemin felt extremely disgusted and rewarded him with a miniature missile without hesitation.

"boom!"

With a deafening roar, golden-red flames rose up.

All the insects that survived the explosion were scorched by the flames, curling up and turning into charred corpses.

The insect oil, extracted from the intense heat, crackled and popped in the flames, sending chills down Shirou Emiya's spine. He couldn't help but take two steps back and leave the burning sea of ​​insects.

"By the way, where's Shinji?" Emiya Shirou suddenly remembered a certain insignificant little king and couldn't help but ask.

Bai Zemin glanced at him, then gestured towards the ruins not far away and said:
"Look, it's over there!"

"..."

Emiya Shirou quickly turned his head to look, then his pupils contracted and he froze on the spot.

Following his gaze, one could see Shinji Matou lying lifeless on the ground, a blood-stained boulder pressing down on him, his handsome face contorted with the terror of his past life...

Shinji... is dead?

Emiya Shirou stared blankly at Shinji's corpse, seemingly unable to believe the scene before him.

He did have a genuine friendship with Shinji Matou. At that time, although Shinji Matou still had a bad personality, he was far from being as twisted as he is now.

If he could, he really didn't want to see Shinji die, let alone die at their hands...

Bai Zemin glanced at the expression on his face and knew that this guy still harbored some feelings and fantasies about Matou Shinji.

Unfortunately, the current Shinji Matou is no longer the same person he was in middle school. Putting aside his attempt to absorb the soul power of his classmates, the violence he inflicted on Sakura alone is enough to lead to his death!
Of course, Shirou Emiya, unaware of the truth, and Sakura Matou, gentle and weak, might choose to forgive him.

But Bai Zeming, who had long been extremely dissatisfied with Shinji and was killed by him and Rider during the second loop, would definitely not!

That's right, Matou Shinji was just casually killed by Bai Zeming in the chaos.

The reason for taking Shinji's life was twofold: firstly, to avenge Matou Sakura and cover up her shameful past; and secondly, because Shirazawa wanted to test the new effects of the Command Seals.

After Lin Yu's modifications, Bai Zemin's Command Seals gained a brand new function—

That is, to absorb the souls of those he killed, and with the help of the power of the Throne of Heroes on the outer side of the world, to transform them into Heroic Spirits, so as to provide sufficient magical power for the Holy Grail in place of the real Heroic Spirits.

Sensing the terrified soul within the Command Seal, Bai Zemin's lips curled into a smile, and he patted Emiya Shirou on the shoulder, saying:
"It's not your fault. Zouken Matou is a veteran mage after all. When we were fighting him, neither of us had time to spare. If anyone is to blame, it's his own overestimation of his abilities, insisting on participating in the Holy Grail War..."

"..."

Emiya Shirou snapped out of his daze and looked at Bai Zeming with a complicated expression.

"Will we end up like this after we deal with the other Masters?"

"That's not the case."

Bai Zemin smiled and was about to reveal the information about the Command Seals.

Just then, a deafening roar came from the forest.

Bai Zemin and Emiya Shirou were both stunned. They turned their heads sharply and stared wide-eyed at the rising waves of earth and small mushroom clouds in the forest.

When he came to his senses, he slapped his forehead: "Oh no!"

"Second Master wouldn't have killed Sister R, would he?"

As the most legendary of the three Chinese heroes, and even a powerful being deified by Buddhism, Taoism, and Confucianism, Bai Zemin did not think Guan Yu would lose to Medusa.

Even though he already knew the power of the [Rings of Heroes], he had no doubt whatsoever.

Thinking of this, Bai Zemin gritted his teeth, turned to Shirou Emiya, and said:
"I'll leave this to you and Saber. I'm going to check on Second Master!"

"..."

Emiya Shirou paused for a moment, then nodded in agreement and turned to look at the ruins ahead.

Just then, a gust of wind suddenly dispersed the fire in front of the mansion, revealing three familiar figures behind the door.

Upon seeing this, Bai Zeming paused, hesitating and frozen in place.

"cherry?"

Emiya Shirou quickly stepped forward, looking at Matou Sakura with some concern, and asked, "Are you alright?"

Upon seeing Shirou Emiya's face, Sakura Matou, dressed in her school uniform, paused slightly, glanced at Rin Tohsaka beside her, and then said softly with a hint of sadness:
"I'm fine, senior."

Hearing their pointless conversation, Rin Tohsaka rolled her eyes. Just as she was about to speak, she noticed that Shiro Zemin was giving her meaningful glances, as if he wanted to talk to her alone.

Rin Tohsaka raised an eyebrow, thought for a moment, and then took a step and walked over.

"what's up?"

"It's nothing..."

Bai Zemin glanced at Matou Sakura not far away and asked in a low voice, "When you went in, did you see anything?"

Rin Tohsaka asked in confusion, "What?"

Bai Zemin hesitated for a moment before saying, "The basement, and the swarm of insects."

"Oh, those disgusting bugs, Archer wiped them all out!"

"What about Sakura?"

“Sakura is my sister, how could I let Archer kill her?”

"..."

Bai Zemin was speechless. This was just impossible to explain!
Just as he was considering how to begin, Rin Tohsaka suddenly said thoughtfully:

"Speaking of Sakura, there is indeed something that I find extremely puzzling. It seems that someone has placed a restriction on her body, and no one or anything can touch her."

"Even when Archer tried to bring her out, he was injured by that silver light..."

Bai Zemin was slightly taken aback: "What light did you say?"

Rin Tohsaka repeated, "Silver light!"

Bai Zemin's eyes lit up, and he immediately smiled, saying with a grin, "Then there's no problem!"
