Xingtie: Can’t you just let me focus on completing the commissions?

Emiya completely ignored the demon lady who was preparing her attack, and cheerfully brought out several steamers and a lot of drinks.

"It's morning tea time in Luofu. Have you had yours yet? Would you like to come and have some together?"

"Luofu's breakfast! Brother Shirou, you are my god!"

Princess Abyss had been sitting there, seemingly ready to watch the excitement, but the moment she heard about Luo Fu's morning tea, she jumped to Emiya's side and took the steamers.

"This is a special breakfast provided by General Shence's family. I also timed it perfectly... and packed up everything on his table to bring over."

"General Shence... You even dared to steal the things of the Seven Heavenly Generals of the Imperial Bow, Shirou, you're doing pretty well on the Immortal Ship now."

"Just kidding. This morning, General Zhuyuan was planning to act as my matchmaker and introduce me to the new General Tianji as my wife."

"Ah."

Ying rolled her eyes. If this guy kept talking, Emperor Gong Siming would soon become his sworn brother.

"Shence General, Emperor Bow Seven Heavenly Generals, the new Sky Strike General... these names sound somewhat similar to Liyue's Seven Stars Mode."

The pink-haired fox had somehow joined in, smilingly probing the meanings of the terms used in Emiya and Hotaru's conversation.

Knowing the pink-haired fox's intentions, Ying didn't mince words and spoke up.

"The pattern is similar. Compared to Morax, there is also an Imperial Bow Master there, and under the Imperial Bow Master are seven Celestial Generals. The difference between them and the Seven Stars of Liyue is that among the seven Celestial Generals of the Imperial Bow Master, there is also a Marshal, who is the commander above the Six Emperors and is also the strongest among the seven Celestial Generals. If she makes a move, the entire continent of Teyvat combined would probably be unable to withstand a single blow from her."

"Below the Marshal, the Six Emperors' combat strength is also extraordinary. Even the former First and Second Thrones would have no chance of defeating the Six Emperors."

"And above these generals... there is also the Emperor Bow Master, and there are dozens of Star Gods of equal rank to the Emperor Bow Master."

"Ray Movie, if you can step into the realm of the Envoy in that world, reviving Raiden Shin and all your past friends will be a piece of cake. If you don't want to see some bastard put a white kimono on your sister before you, you'd better cooperate with me honestly."

"Fine, as long as he can withstand one of my blows, I'll believe everything you say."

Chapter 155: A True Sword Duel! (4/5)

Lei's gaze was like a knife, fixed intently on the location of Emiya. Restless lightning element had already filled the entire castle tower.

"As long as he can withstand one of my blows, I'm willing to believe everything you say."

"Whether it's resurrecting the sister, or the so-called Star God, Envoy, or Destiny..."

"I am a martial artist, and the thing I believe in most is the 'sword.' I have no intention of thinking about how much you have hidden in what you said before..."

"As long as he, this new arrival, can withstand my 'Unfettered Strike,' I can find the answers to all the questions I seek within this single strike."

Hearing Lei say that, Ying turned her head and looked at Emiya.

"That's what she said, what do you say?"

Emiya narrowed his eyes slightly, pondered for a moment, and then pointed to the dream in her hand.

"If you lose, how about you give me that sword?"

"……impossible."

A hint of anger flickered in Lei's eyes. Dream was of extraordinary significance to her; it was the most precious keepsake left to her by her only sister.

"Alright then, I'll come and get it myself."

As he spoke, Emiya suddenly raised his hand, and magical energy began to surge through his limbs and bones. His muscles, tendons, and all bodily functions, like gears lubricated with oil, suddenly began to operate at high speed.

Immediately,

A sword somewhat similar to the one in Shiki's dream also fell into Emiya's hands.

"This sword is named Dojigiri Yasutsuna, the sword used by Minamoto no Yorimitsu to kill Shuten-dōji and Ibaraki-dōji."

Its master was also an incarnation of Indra, a warrior bearing the name of the thunder god.

"……it is good."

Hearing about the origins of that long, slender blade, a burning desire appeared in Lei Yingdian's beautiful eyes. She was Inazuma's strongest swordsman and the strongest swordsmith. The five legendary swords of the past were all derived from the techniques taught by her.

This is precisely why she possesses a unique ability to discern; that Dojigiri Yasutsuna must be a divine sword no less powerful than Isshin's Dream in her own hands.

When you meet an opponent in chess, you will meet a good talent.

In this situation

It was the moment to draw the sword.

"No thought, no intention—!"

A blinding flash of lightning swept out, enveloping a lightning-fast blade of light. In that instant, a deafening roar echoed throughout Inazuma Castle as the ultimate strike, symbolizing the pinnacle of Inazuma swordsmanship, was unleashed.

"Flying Light Without Gaps—!"

In response to this lightning-fast Iai Slash, she naturally unleashed an equally lightning-fast sword-drawing technique. In the instant that a dazzling slash, seemingly capable of cleaving the moon itself, was unleashed, Lei Yingdong's Iai Slash had already landed on her sword, Dojigiri Yasutsuna.

Imaginary energy is not suitable to be used directly here, so Emiya's attack was naturally weakened considerably. However, even so, he still managed to steadily block the so-called thoughtless and effortless severing strike.

"not bad."

A joyful smile appeared on Lei Yingdian's face. Her proud strike had been blocked, but she felt no anger. She was a martial arts fanatic, and all her skills were the culmination of countless battles and duels on the battlefield and in the dojo. However, since her sister's death, her blade had lost its lord and its sharpest edge.

For centuries afterward, her blade lost its target; even the great serpent, another demon god, was no match for her blade.

A sword that cannot be drawn and cannot fight against a worthy opponent will only gradually become dull.

Despite having fought her puppet in the secret realm for hundreds of years, both of their skills originated from the same person. Although there was some improvement after the war, it was hardly a pleasant battle.

Now, the skill this man was displaying made her instinctively want to see the whole picture.

Therefore,

Driven by her martial arts fanaticism, she unconsciously unleashed a second strike.

"Isn't it just one cut?"

Emiya was not surprised at all; he easily blocked the second strike from the Thunder General with his Dojigiri Yasutsuna.

A slight hint of apology flickered across Lei's usually cold face, but it was quickly replaced by an excited, joyful smile. She gazed at Emiya and said softly,

"If it were truly just one strike, you probably wouldn't be satisfied. However... as I said before, after that strike, I've come to believe in your sword. I will go to that world with that woman... but the swordsmanship you displayed has truly piqued my interest, so... please enlighten me."

Commission Rewards: 120-240 points + limited-time upgrade on sword skills

Difficulty of the task: 1-2 stars

Note: A loss earns a 1-star reward, while a win earns a 2-star reward.

"...A real sword duel? Then, as you wish."

The man who possesses the origin of the sword is a natural-born swordsman. Many sword techniques, once learned, can be mastered through repeated practice. Even a sword technique like the Frostfire was not something Emiya spent too much time mastering.

However, the Flawless Flying Light technique requires an environment with imaginary energy to be used effectively; otherwise, its power will be significantly reduced. Given that we can only use internal magic power at present, choosing other sword techniques is naturally more appropriate.

In the Type-Moon universe, there are many "Sword Noble Phantasms" that are elevated from mere sword skills to the realm of Noble Phantasms. Although Emiya cannot directly project these "Sword Noble Phantasms", he can retrieve the ultimate swords that these swordsmen honed throughout their lives through the swords they used in their lifetimes.

0 ..... ....

"Projection, begin—!"

"Kukaku Kiyomitsu—!"

The sword that belonged to the genius swordsman Okita Souji fell into his hands, and the unique swordsmanship of that genius began to reappear in Emiya's hands.

"One step, supersonic—!"

"Second step, without interruption—!"

The moment Emiya switched to his new sword and disappeared from his spot, Lei Yingdian already sensed his intention. Before disappearing, the posture of holding the sword horizontally at the top of his head was already obvious, and the next strike was bound to be a thrust.

Understanding the attack's method, Lei Ying didn't hesitate to retract her Dream Heart sword to her waist. The lightning element that permeated the entire castle tower suddenly converged, forming a giant lightning eye behind her, rapidly detecting the movements of Emiya, who had vanished in an instant.

"Three steps, ultimate blade—!"

As he silently recited the name of Okita's Noble Phantasm, Emiya suddenly appeared at close range to Lei Yingdian's astonished gaze. His three consecutive thrusts, launched simultaneously, seemed to distort the law of cause and effect, destroying the concept of sequence and order. They locked onto the same position at the same time and launched three synchronized piercing thrusts.

"Nameless, Triple Strike—!"

[P.S.: One more chapter to go. I'll stay up a bit and try to finish it.] 8.

Chapter 156: You're crazy! Can't I just be Kaslana? (5/5)

"Clang—!"

The three simultaneous attacks landed at the same point. Emiya's original target was actually the Thunder General's shoulder, but it seemed that Okita's Shrinking Technique wasn't enough to completely avoid the Thunder General's 'line of sight'.

The instant she held her dream firmly before her, three thrusts simultaneously landed on the blade in her hand. The force of this attack was exceptionally heavy; the impact of a concentrated assault on a single point was already considerable, let alone three thrusts aimed at one point. Although it was intercepted head-on...

but,

The Thunder General was still knocked back dozens of steps by this attack before he could barely regain his footing.

"Even in the realm of thrusting swordsmanship alone, I have not reached the level of this sword. The three secret swords were completely superimposed at the same point in time, '057'... Indeed, as that woman said, the strong people in your world are as numerous as the people crossing the river, and swordsmen like you... are probably as rare as the stars in the sky."

Thinking of that scene, her face even began to blush with extreme excitement. If there really were so many excellent swordsmen, then... just how much could her sword skills improve?

"Is there more? Such swordsmanship!!"

"Of course!"

Emiya laughed heartily. He had inherited hundreds of thousands of "swords" from the one on the Throne of Heroes, from the distant Age of Gods to the mysteriously fading Bakumatsu period, from the Knights of the Round Table in Camelot to the group of executioner swordsmen in the Bakumatsu period.

Nowadays, it wouldn't be an exaggeration for him to call himself a "Forbidden Book of Sword Techniques".

"Then let's try again! Let's try again!!"

The Thunder General shouted with joy, his eyes filled with hope and longing, like a child seeing candy.

"Then, the second secret sword—!"

"Its name is Lightning—!"

"Third Secret Sword, Chaos—!"

"The Fourth Secret Sword, Gu Ying—!"

"Fifth Secret Sword, Rise and Fall—!"

A continuous stream of secret sword techniques flowed from Emiya's hands. The deadly sword techniques left behind by sword masters from different eras seemed to come effortlessly to him.

The Ming Dynasty text *Zhen Ji* states, "The use of the sword involves techniques. There are sword manuals for methods, and swordsmen for techniques, so they are unpredictable. There are dozens of schools of swordsmanship, including Bian Zhuangzi's 'Chaotic Striking Method,' Wang Ju's 'Rising and Falling Method,' Liu Bei's 'Counter-Attack Method,' Ma Mingwang's 'Lightning Strike Method,' and Ma Chao's 'Striking Technique.' These five schools of swordsmanship have been passed down."

The five sword styles described in this book almost encompass all swordsmanship concepts in East Asia. Miyamoto Musashi's Niten Ichi-ryu is similar to Liu Bei's Guyingfa, and the striking logic of Hokushin Itto-ryu is also similar to Wang Yue's Qiluofa...

The swordsmanship that swordsmen, who have fought for thousands of years in the monster room of East Asia, are proud of, and whose swordsmanship was even able to fight against the greatest warrior in the world, like "Gundam riding Red Hare," during the Three Kingdoms period, is now being displayed in Emiya's hands. Naturally, even the most ridiculous movie is overwhelmed by it.

She has reached the pinnacle of Inazuma swordsmanship. As such, all sword techniques of Inazuma are bound to be bound by her sword philosophy. Ultimately, everyone's sword philosophy points to her thoughtless and effortless strike.

At this moment, all the sword techniques displayed before her were outside the scope of her understanding. It was as if countless sword masters, who had taken different paths from hers, were simultaneously practicing their swordsmanship before her.

I want to fight these people with swords.

To break all these sword techniques,

To reach a higher level in swordsmanship,

but,

Those great swordsmen were ultimately like bubbles in water, fleeting and insignificant.

At this moment, she was facing only one person. Moreover, after demonstrating each of his profound sword techniques, he would switch to another without hesitation.

Before she could even fully experience the previous sword technique, the next one came crashing down on her, like a constant stream of delicious desserts being stuffed into her mouth, but each bite only allowed her to taste a tiny bit of sweetness...

Unable to meet the requirements!

Absolutely unsatisfactory!

She stared intently at every sword technique the man displayed, an endless longing rising within her. For the first time... since the very first time she was born, she had felt a longing for a man.

Want to get him
