But he certainly would not sit idly by and watch the android being controlled by someone else.
Seeing that Amakusa Shiro Tokisada was completely dead, the Servant with long, casually grown silver-white hair stood aside and did not easily show hostility to these people. He only asked Ling Wuji, who was obviously in a dominant position among the female servants and magicians. Ling Wuji roughly deduced what happened and asked the Assassin to release the control of the magician in the clock tower. After the unlucky guy woke up from his dream, he was scared for a while:
"The overseers of the Holy Church... damn it! I will never let them off so easily!"
Ling Wu Ji immediately sneered.
He really didn't have high hopes for the other party's future. Even though his Servant was that Lancer, Ling Wuji didn't even need the Sky Curtain Barrier to find him through the art of looking at qi. If it was a regular Holy Grail War, he could hide behind the scenes and provide magic to that Lancer in the traditional way, and perhaps he could really rely on Lancer's high performance to survive to the end. But now, as long as Ling Wuji could entangle Lancer first and then use the decapitation tactic on him, he would have absolutely no chance of winning.
As for what the magician was thinking, he wanted to form an alliance with him. However, Ling Wuji didn't say much. He just shook his head at Lancer and said to him with regret: "In my opinion, your spiritual base is one of the top ones among the servants summoned in the current Holy Grail War. However, your Master's magic supply and personal safety are very problematic. Limited by these two..."
"Are you trying to persuade me to switch to your side?"
"No, I just feel sorry. A Servant with such a noble character like you is really rare in this Holy Grail War full of desires, among the many magicians and followers," Ling Wuji said, "I just feel sorry that you will meet such a Master."
After he finished speaking, he disappeared in an instant without paying attention to the reactions of the rest of the crowd.
Since the supervisor of the Holy Church did not abide by the principles he should abide by, Ling Wuji was not very interested in the so-called alliance with the Clock Tower. There were originally three people on his side. Now the Command Seals on Amakusa Shiro Tokisada and the contract with the assassin were transferred to Irisviel, so he had four Servants on his side -
If Ji Moyu is counted.
But it’s not like he can’t get things done without Ji Moyu.
So now he used Mozi's Five Elements Technique to change his appearance, and flew into the air, heading directly to the city called Tufalis, wanting to investigate the situation in advance.
The rest of the people - or rather the magician of the clock tower - did not want to fall out at this time and start a civil war before the black side was resolved, so they carefully said goodbye to each other and headed towards Tufalis using normal means of transportation.
……
The current situation of the Holy Grail War has become so abnormal that it is unclear whether it is due to the influence of inhibitory force or a problem with the mechanism of the Holy Grail system itself. After all fourteen servants of the red and black sides have been summoned, the ruler has also been summoned.
This is Joan of Arc, the savior of France.
Or Jeanne d'Arc.
She was not summoned directly by the Holy Grail in the form of a spirit, but possessed a country girl named Leticia. The two shared the same body. After she possessed that body, she was able to exercise her abilities as a Servant. At the same time, the consciousness of the country girl was clear and she could see Jeanne's actions as a Servant. As the mediator chosen by the Holy Grail, she possessed twenty-eight Command Spells, which meant that she could use two Command Spells on each Servant, and these Command Spells could also be freely transferred to the Master.
As for the mechanism of the Greater Holy Grail, a magician like Danic, who has done in-depth research on the Holy Grail, is actually very clear about it.
He actually had high expectations for this mediator.
After all, two of his Command Seals had already been used in the duel between Lancer Vlad III and the God Slayer Vauban, and Lancer had lost. With only one Command Seal left, he had no way of acting according to his original plan, so he placed his breakthrough point on the ruler -
So when Joan of Arc went to Tofalis, Danic was ready to greet her on the roadside in advance, wanting to establish a good relationship with her, but Joan of Arc said that she would abide by the rules of the Holy Grail War and she would only mediate those abnormal factors in the Holy Grail War.
"So, is the God Slayer an abnormal factor?"
As a Catholic believer, Joan of Arc was very sensitive to the word "godslayer". However, when she heard Danic say that the godslayers killed the gods of the pagans, she accepted this explanation. But she soon told Danic that she would continue to investigate whether the godslayers were an abnormal factor in this Holy Grail War. Before that, she would not make any biased evaluation.
Although if Ling Wuji heard what she said, he would definitely complain that her spiritual power was not that good to begin with. Even if the God Slayer was really an abnormal factor in this Holy Grail War, what could she do?
The God Slayer is not a Servant.
The Command Seals on her body were completely meaningless to the God Slayer.
Even for Ling Wuji, he had no idea why the Holy Grail would summon such a Servant. Even if the self-destruction treasure of her Red Lotus Saint was extremely powerful, it could only drag one or two people down with it. However, there were more than five God Slayers participating in this Holy Grail War! Even her self-destruction might not really drag anyone down with her!
Volume 4: Where is Penglai: Chapter 24: Swordsmanship
Ling Wuji was currently pretending to be an ordinary person and strolling around the foreign city of Tufalis.
But he actually couldn't understand the local language very well.
Although he had made up for the relevant knowledge before coming to this country, he was not interested in language. Although he now had a photographic memory, he only memorized the things he was not interested in. He was at a loss when it came to specific application. So during the day, he just wandered around aimlessly. At night, it was the mysterious world. The Thousand Worlds Tree Family had a good control over this city. At night, the whole city seemed to know tacitly that something was going to happen, and everyone stayed indoors. So the Thousand Worlds Tree Family's servants easily found Ling Wuzhi wandering around the block.
At this time, Ling Wuji still had the appearance he had transformed using Mozi's Five Elements Technique.
Even the magicians of the Thousand World Trees could not recognize him.
After a brief questioning, they decisively took action against Ling Wuji.
But Ling Wuji just waved his hand, and the magicians of the Thousand Worlds Tree Family and their servants were suppressed by the strong wind without any power to resist.
"Do you want to continue watching the show?"
Ling Wu Ji said to somewhere.
At this time, a young man whom Ling Wuji had never seen before but was already familiar with stood on the wall beside the street. Under the moonlight, he looked down at the young man and said cheerfully, "Magicians who can do this with ease are already quite rare, not to mention such a young magician. If I'm not mistaken, you are Ling Wuji, right?"
Ling Wu Ji nodded indifferently.
He didn't really think that he could deceive the other party by hiding his appearance.
"Let me introduce myself," the young man patted the tall, silent, gray-silver-haired warrior in armor standing next to him in a friendly manner, and said, "I am Salvatore Doni, and this is Siegfried. Where is your Servant?"
"She didn't come."
“Ling Jun, I heard that’s what you call it over there, right?” He said with a smile, “You dared to come to the city with three God Slayers alone without even bringing your servants. You are really brave.”
Ling Wuji raised his eyebrows:
He didn't care that the other party had mistaken his identity and thought he was a Japanese so they casually called him "XX Jun". Anyway, in Chinese history, "Ling Jun" was a respectful title used to address county magistrates or ministers. There was also an allusion to "Liu Xiang Ling Jun". When others called him "Ling Jun", he could also compare himself to Xun Wenruo - that is, a dog, no, Xun Yu -
In fact, what he cared about was the statement "courageous".
"So-called courage is knowing that it is impossible but still doing it. Even if there are tens of thousands of people against me, I will go ahead. But I don't think I am a brave person. In other words, in my opinion, it doesn't take much courage to deal with you God Slayers."
He just said it lightly.
"Why? With your magic that can make people lose the desire to attack?"
The Italian King of Swords also asked curiously, but his hand kept rubbing on the hilt of his beloved sword, looking hungry and thirsty, but trying to pretend to be calm.
"Although you can say that, I do know that you are one of the few godslayers who can see your true nature. In other words, you will not be controlled by that spell."
"So Vauban is right, you really can't control me with that kind of magic?"
Ling Wuji nodded and said, "Is this also the reason why only you showed up?"
"Perhaps," the young man said with a cheerful smile, "Perhaps Vauban is really afraid of you, so he dare not come out to see you, and the Black Prince himself may not want to face his own heart, so he chooses to ignore you. But I am curious, from your tone, you already knew that I can ignore your spells, but you still came alone?"
"Why not?"
The young man grasped the hilt of his beloved sword, jumped down from the wall, and said, "Yes, why not?"
The tall servant named Siegfried also jumped down like him, but afterwards, Salvatore Doni stopped him and said, "This is a battle between me and this Lord. No matter what happens next, you must not interfere."
Siegfried wanted to say something, but subconsciously said, "I'm sorry."
Then he stepped back.
"Then let me measure your quality!"
The Italian King of Swords immediately drew out his sword excitedly, aiming it at Ling Wuji, and was about to use the power he had usurped from the Celtic god Nuada of the Silver Arm, the "Torn Silver Hand". The magic sword that was said to be able to cut through everything condensed an unparalleled force, and at the same time his arm inevitably turned into a silver metal. This unparalleled blow was about to strike, and even if it didn't hit Ling Wuji, the entire city's landscape might be changed by this sword -
But at this moment, Ling Wuji suddenly said: "No matter how strong you are, it is just the use of magic power."
At this moment, an indescribable thought emanated from the boy's body. In that instant, Salvatore felt that the power he had condensed in the sword was melting like ice and snow encountering the warm sun. No, that was not accurate at all. To be precise, the boy threw a stone into the calm lake, and the order of the lake, which was originally as calm as if there were no ripples, was disturbed beyond recognition. In that instant, all order became chaotic, and then in an instant, the boy forcibly restrained and established a new order with his own will, and that order swept in like a tide!
"What... swordplay is this?"
Although Ling Wuji only moved his eyes from beginning to end and did not make any extra movements, Salvatore Tony still keenly realized that this was swordsmanship, because he had an extraordinary obsession with swordsmanship, and the only weapon he could use was the sword, so he was sure that he would not guess wrong, this must be a swordsmanship!
Is this swordsmanship that can even cut through order?
Even though he was being suppressed completely by Ling Wuji, he still licked the corner of his mouth excitedly.
In fact, the real essence of Liuhe Sword Technique in the early stage is indeed the word "break".
The prerequisite for “breaking down and then establishing” is that you can really “break down”.
As for the subsequent filling of "Covering the Sea and Burying the Waves", although it is also very important, the difficulty is not at the same level as this "Breaking".
In fact, the conventional practice of Liuhe Sword Technique is to use the corresponding "combination" to achieve "breaking", rather than "breaking" first and then "combining" like Ling Wuji.
Volume 4: Where is Penglai: Chapter 25: Sword Fighting
Although this description is already commonplace to Ling Wuji and has no meaning to him, he is very clear that his abilities are mostly based on the Taoism given to him by the system, or in other words, he took a shortcut, but Salvatore Tony still wants to say that this person is the only peerless figure he has ever seen in his life.
This young man, who looked only fifteen or sixteen years old, seemed to be a regular magician, but he had done what most magicians and even his swordsmanship teacher Saint Raphael could not do. He suppressed his power purely with swordsmanship. This was even more beyond imagination than the existence of these godslayers. He simply could not understand how this man did it. If the "Wuxiang Sword" that Saint Raphael taught him but he still could not use proficiently could be traced in terms of realm, but the opponent's swordsmanship was already beyond power and was about to reach that supreme realm.
So now that he was faced with this situation, he had no idea what to do.
But he didn't feel depressed at all.
Even though the young man had already placed his hand on the ancient sword behind him, time seemed to slow down at this moment. Every move of the young man was clearly visible in his eyes. He could clearly sense that the young man opposite him had unleashed his indestructible sword intent without hesitation, pointing it directly at him. The ancient sword, which was glowing with a emerald green and lustrous brilliance in the night, was carrying an unparalleled edge and was advancing straight towards him. He could even sense that Siegfried, who was standing behind him, had ignored his previous orders and was about to step forward to stop the young man.
Although Salvatore felt that he was not really trying to protect himself, but it was a mentality similar to his.
He needs an opponent.
After he accomplished the feat of killing gods, Salvatore, who completed the ritual of the Ring of Usurpation, ran out of the underworld with his mind still not clear. He followed his instinct and ran to his original master. At that time, his swordsmanship teacher told him that his duel with normal magicians could no longer help him understand the essence of the "Wuxiang Sword". He must fight with opponents on the same level as him, walking between life and death, before he can truly break through his shackles under pressure and truly understand the mystery of the "Wuxiang Sword".
If he sensed danger in a normal duel between magicians, he would definitely use his power without hesitation.
That's why he has been looking for the God of Disobedience to fight everywhere in recent years.
He even didn't spare Kusanagi Godou, who had recently become a godslayer.
And now, the first time he saw Ling Wuji, he could accurately tell his name.
He instinctively determined that this was an opponent who could bring him tremendous pressure.
Even his magical powers that were said to be miraculous were useless to him.
At this moment, seeing the edge of the ancient jade sword so close at hand, his mind inevitably became nervous, but at the same time, the light on the sword seemed to become brighter and brighter, turning into a brilliant white light, illuminating his mind and making his mind suspended in the air, as if he didn't have to think about anything and just needed to follow his body's instincts.
Then he dodged the sword in a very dangerous manner.
Ling Wuji used his old tricks again, and the tension and relaxation, the ebb and flow of chaos and order suddenly swept across the world again. The young man immediately used even faster moves than before to deal with him, but the Italian King of Swords did not lose control in the tide, but calmly dealt with Ling Wuji's moves -
He exchanged several sword blows with Ling Wuji in a thrilling manner. In the process, he inevitably discovered that in addition to the sword skills that could cut off order at will, the opponent's attainments in attack and defense transition moves were just like his teacher who had been immersed in this art for decades. There was not a single flaw in his movements, and he didn't even leave any chance for him to use his power to decide the outcome with one blow. If he dared to rely on his body as a godslayer to resist, the opponent would definitely reap his soul without hesitation!
But not long after, the young man took the sword away on his own initiative, and retreated back like a paper airplane floating in the air, looking at him with strange eyes, and said: "Now that you have glimpsed the door to the best swordsmanship, we can discuss swordsmanship."
If Zhao Suyi heard this, she would definitely laugh at him for pretending.
Because it has only been a few days since he entered the realm of true superior swordsmanship.
But Salvatore had no idea what was going on. He was shocked by the boy's pretense and imitated his ancient way of speaking. He asked, "What do you think is the key to excellent swordsmanship?"
"It's the state of mind."
The answer was revealed when he was debating with Zhao Suyi on the rooftop.
The highest level of swordsmanship in the world is all related to one's state of mind.
"But the so-called state of mind is actually different," Ling Wuji said, "so the supreme state you think of is not the same state at all."
