Chapter 861: Swordsman Duel, Ye Cheng VS Sasaki Kojiro!

“For some special reasons, I know your real name, and I also know your special skills.

This seems unfair to you in this sword fight, so I'll introduce myself.

My name is Ye Shen Ye Cheng. Although I am not specialized in swordsmanship, I can barely be considered a swordsman.

Because I know your abilities and swordsmanship, in order not to take advantage of you, I will not use any abilities other than swordsmanship in this duel."

Although Sasaki Kojiro was an Assassin, he did not choose to launch a sneak attack the moment he saw him. Instead, he adhered to his identity as a swordsman and took the initiative to greet Ye Cheng.

Then, in order to respond to the other party's respect, Ye Cheng would naturally not shamelessly take advantage of the other party's information gap.

Hearing Ye Cheng's words, Sasaki Kojiro was stunned for a moment, then he took an attacking stance with a respectful look on his face.

"Ding------!"

After a brief exchange, the two did not say anything more. Instead, at the moment a leaf fell to the ground, their figures disappeared in an instant and left the place at the same time.

When their figures reappeared, the long swords in their hands had already collided with each other in mid-air, and a large amount of sparks flew out.

"Yakami Style Three Styles: Mad Butterfly!"

After the two men separated by a blow, Ye Cheng took the lead in launching a fierce attack. The long sword in his hand seemed to turn into an afterimage at this moment, leaving a stream of light in the dark air.

Facing Ye Cheng's super-high-speed continuous slashes, Sasaki Kojiro's defense method was to constantly dodge and attack.

That's right, because of the long sword "Monokankan" in his hand and the special nature of Kojiro's own swordsmanship, his fighting style does not involve defense, but only offense.

It is said that offense is the best defense. The "Wu Gan Gan" with a blade as long as 1.5 meters, based on the principle that an inch longer is an inch stronger, not only can it completely resolve Ye Cheng's attacking blows, but it even has enough energy to attack Ye Cheng from a tricky angle.

In historical facts, the name of the long sword used by Sasaki Kojiro, "Monokankan", is not an official inscription. Instead, it has a stronger derogatory meaning of "it is too long to be used as a sword."

However, only those who are also good at swordsmanship know that the longer the long sword is, the better it is. If the blade is too long, it will break easily. And if you want to wield such a long sword skillfully, you need to have very high swordsmanship skills.

"Yakami-ryu 1st Style·Breaking Waterfall!"

Compared to the previous multiple continuous high-speed slashes of "Crazy Butterfly", the "Broken Waterfall" that Ye Cheng is now using is a powerful downward attack.

The "Monokankan" itself is the most suitable long sword for Sasaki Kojiro, and only he can bring out the maximum power of this sword. However, no matter how Sasaki Kojiro plays to his strengths and avoids his weaknesses, the fact that the blade is too long and has a weak load-bearing capacity is something that Kojiro cannot avoid.

Therefore, if you want to break the impasse, just attack with powerful slashes!
Facing the oncoming attack, Kojiro Sasaki has only two ways to respond: either use the "monogan pole" to block it, or he can only choose to dodge.

If you choose to dodge, then in a duel between swordsmen, too much dodging will inevitably reveal flaws.

Even if there is only a tiny flaw, it is enough to decide the outcome in a duel of this level. If Sasaki Kojiro uses the "Monogankan" to block, then with the slender and fragile blade of the Monogankan, even if it is a treasure, how many times can it withstand the powerful slashing moves of Ye Cheng?
Looking at the crescent-shaped slash flying towards him, Sasaki Kojiro, who is also a master of swordsmanship, saw through Ye Cheng's intention at a glance and chose to retreat for the first time.

After several consecutive jumps back and distanced himself from Yecheng, Sasaki Kojiro's eyes suddenly became extremely sharp as he looked at the sword energy shooting towards him.

The A-rank "Mind's Eye" skill gives Sasaki Kojiro a sixth sense far superior to that of ordinary people.

Unlike the Heroic Spirit Emiya's ability to avoid crises based on "predictions backed by experience", Sasaki Kojiro's "mind's eye" is an ability to predict danger based on his innate talent.

As early as the moment Ye Cheng slashed with sword energy, Sasaki Kojiro had already predicted the danger, and the way he chose to deal with it was also unexpected by Ye Cheng.

With the blessing of another inherent skill "Transparency", Sasaki Kojiro, whose spiritual realm has reached the state of "clear mirror and still water", has no psychological fluctuations even when the sword energy is approaching. Instead, he uses his superb swordsmanship and cleverness to wave the pole in his hand, changing the attack trajectory of Yecheng's sword energy!

The Crescent Blade, whose trajectory was changed by clever force, fell into the air and cut the stone steps leading to Liudong Temple in half with its invincible momentum. It kept going up with its face covered, and finally even the gate of Liudong Temple was cut in half by this blow and collapsed with a loud bang.

Ye Cheng never expected that Sasaki Kojiro could use this method to resolve his attack, but what he didn't expect was that Sasaki Kojiro would actually change the trajectory of the sword energy and slash towards the mountain gate!

If Ye Cheng remembered correctly, Sasaki Kojiro was summoned by Medea in violation of regulations, and the medium for summoning him was the mountain gate of Ryudo Temple.

This also led to Sasaki Kojiro being bound by the mountain gate and unable to leave, so he could only act as a gatekeeper, so he was nicknamed the gatekeeper of Ryudo Temple.

As a summoning medium, if the gate of Ryudo Temple is destroyed, then Sasaki Kojiro will undoubtedly also leave.

But he just chose to shift the attack to the mountain gate. Is he planning to commit suicide?

Ye Cheng originally thought so, but he was soon shocked again, because the gate of Ryudo Temple had turned into a pile of rubble and ruins, but now Sasaki Kojiro in front of him, let alone retreating, was not even affected at all!

What the hell is this! Why is this Holy Grail War so different from the five wars I know?

Heroic Spirit Emiya: (＿;) I also want to know why. As a future Heroic Spirit, knowing the plot is the biggest golden finger, but now the plot is a mess!
"My previous feeling was indeed correct. You are indeed a peerless swordsman with outstanding strength.

I'm afraid there are few people in the world who can match such an amazing sword energy strike.

What's more, you are still a human being at present. I can't even imagine how powerful you will be once you become a heroic spirit.

Whether in terms of physical ability or overall strength, I admit that I am no match for you, but I still have one more sword skill in my life, and I hope you can appreciate it."

In fact, during the battle, Sasaki Kojiro discovered that compared to himself, Ye Cheng's strength was far from being fully utilized.

Not only did the opponent not use any means other than swordsmanship as he said, he even deliberately suppressed his own physical abilities.

Except for agility, Sasaki Kojiro knew that he was inferior to his opponent in terms of strength, endurance and other aspects. However, the opponent suppressed his advantages and competed with him with swordsmanship.
