They've already fought their way through the Holy Grail War, and you still call them dragons?

Watanabe Tsuna suddenly sheathed his sword, and an invisible pressure instantly gathered on Ibaraki Douji.

Ibaraki Douji's soaring body suddenly plummeted from the sky, crashing to the ground with a thud, leaving behind a dense, spiderweb-like pattern of shattering cracks. A huge cloud of dust rose into the air, and the demon girl was pinned down by gravity, unable to move.

This is the Noble Phantasm "Onikiri Yasutsuna", which allows the demons to unconditionally withstand the pressure of gravity. Without a very high level of mental pollution, frenzy, and mental protection skills, they cannot escape from it.

"Damn it, Tsuna! Do you think you can defeat me again at this level?" When Ibaraki Douji saw Watanabe Tsuna pull out the long blade of Onikiri from the sheath again, he suddenly became furious and screamed.

But Watanabe Tsuna ignored Ibaraki. He looked at Melyuchina, who was standing calmly in the air, unaffected at all.

"Your Excellency must be a being far purer and nobler than demonic beings like ghosts," Watanabe Tsuna said calmly.

"I mean no offense, but there's more than one battlefield going on right now. Our respective Masters may be in danger. In my opinion, we should each return home and fight again another day. As for this evil spirit, I'll execute it."

After saying that, Watanabe Tsuna raised his sword and walked towards Ibaraki Douji.

"Asshole! Do you think you can win like this, Tsuna!?"

Ibaraki Douji's body, which was falling to the ground under the weight of the weight, suddenly burst out with scorching flames!

boom! boom! boom!

Like a raging flame, flaming fists poured forth, shattering their target to pieces. Facing the unprepared Watanabe Tsuna, a ferocious, scorching combo descended from the blazing flames!

The sky-high flames dispelled the vast darkness. This was Ibaraki Douji's second hidden Noble Phantasm, "Oeyama Great Flame Rising"! It concentrated the power of fire, originally enough to attack the army, to form a Noble Phantasm that scorched and burned the enemy!

Don’t think you’re the only one who has a second Noble Phantasm. Look, I have one too!

fire! fire! fire!

The moment the flames with violent impact were emitted, the aftermath caused the ground to collapse rapidly, the streets to fall down, and the surrounding high-rise buildings began to collapse due to the massive ground damage.

The thick smoke and fog rising into the sky completely engulfed Watanabe Tsuna's figure.

Only Melyuchina was hovering in the sky with ease, watching this spectacular scene of "chickens fighting each other". She didn't even use her full strength, because the order from her master Nono was just to come over and beat up Ibaraki, whom she had fought with before.

So Ibaraki was the unlucky one who got beaten, and as for Watanabe Tsuna… she just took advantage of the situation and beat him up as well. As for negotiations? What negotiations? I don’t understand, I don’t understand. You guys have to keep getting beaten until the Master stops!

Boom! Melyuchina plummeted like a bomber, her sword blade slicing through the air like a mighty, decrepit celestial light!

Angers and Uesugi Yue stood in the distance, stunned by the scene before them. Flames shot up into the sky, swords flashed everywhere, and the streets were destroyed beyond recognition in the intense fighting. Angers murmured:

"Is this the true Holy Grail War?"

Those who knew thought they were fighting the Holy Grail War, while those who didn’t thought they were fighting against ancient dragons or that modern armed forces were launching a terrorist attack!

Ange sighed inwardly. If every half-blood at Kassel Academy had this level of strength, slashing every Dragon King with a single blow wouldn't be a problem! Our dragon-slaying cause would surely flourish!

He thought for a moment, his eyes scanning the surrounding area further away, at the unusually quiet neighborhood.

Apparently, the Snake Eight Clan had already taken measures in advance, cordoning off the area to prevent ordinary people from noticing this extraordinary battle. It was just unclear what excuse they would use to cover up the impact of this Servant battle.

Finally, Ange thought back to Melyuchina, who had flown earlier. This one... he remembered it was the pure-blooded ancient dragon mentioned in Chu Tianjiao's secret report. According to the intelligence, she should have been traveling with Emiya and the others. How did she get here?

"Yeah, the Holy Grail War... Wait," Uesugi Koshimoto was about to chime in, but suddenly his ears twitched. He seemed to have heard "The Master is in danger"... Oh, right, his son participated in the Holy Grail War, right? So his son was also a Master?

Uesugi Yue's expression instantly became serious... Oh no, he had to find his son as soon as possible!

----

"Brother, finally... we finally meet again!"

The moonlight was faintly shining, and Fengjian Liuli had her hair loose and was wearing a bright red women's kimono. She was holding a crimson long sword in her hand. She looked like a charming and gorgeous female ghost.

Yuan Zhisheng panted heavily, half-kneeling and pushing himself up. Just now, after enduring a single blow, his locked dragon bone state nearly collapsed. He had intended to unleash the Word Spirit: Royal Power, but unfortunately, it had little effect on the evil spirit. The other party was even able to dance within the domain.

This situation shocked Yuan Zhisheng and made him feel depressed. He recalled the day when he was investigating in Aoi House and was attacked by the "Heroic Spirit". He was completely useless on the battlefield, only able to wave the flag and shout...

"It's been many years..."

"I know."

Gen Chisheng looked at the face with a bit of makeup on it, and a familiar brow emerged from it. Although there were some differences and she was wearing women's clothing, Gen Chisheng recognized it at a glance. It was the face of his supposedly dead brother, Gen Chinu. Because Chinu's original appearance was very similar to his own.

So, even if he might mistake Eri, he would not mistake Minamoto no Chijo.

But the person in front of him was not Genji, and the one who came back after being killed would not be his brother, but only an evil ghost.

"So, you still want to kill me." Fengjian Liuli tilted her head and looked at this brother... no, enemy.

"You are a demon, I am a human," Genjisheng said briefly after a moment's silence. He clenched the Spider-Sword in his hand. No matter how dire the situation, he would not compromise or condone the demon. Even if it was ridiculous, this was the demon slayer's tragic justice.

Fengjian Liuli laughed, and his laughter was full of malice and resentment. The personal experience of being stabbed to death by his brother many years ago had long been accumulated in his heart into something as terrible as a devil.

Fengjian Liuli raised his long sword.

go to hell!

Chapter 208 Shut up! Shameless old thief!

call--

The wind howled. Kazama Ruri's blade sliced ​​through the air like a bright red blood moon, illuminating Gen Chisheng's astonished face—the latter didn't even have time to react.

Fengjian Liuli's speed completely exceeded Minamoto Chisheng's imagination. As an evil ghost fighter trained by Herzog as a king general, he far surpassed Minamoto Chisheng in terms of perfection. The biggest manifestation of this was his combat power, which surpassed the strength of Minamoto Chisheng, who was the Shadow Emperor.

He instinctively raised his hand to block the Spider Slash in his hand, but it was useless. Gen Chisheng still remembered Watanabe Tsuna saying that activating the Command Seal could allow the Servant to transfer urgently and return to the Master's side, but the problem was that the distance was too close, and Kazama Ruri didn't give him the opportunity to activate it.

This brother... no, this evil ghost's eyes are filled with murderous intent and deep hatred. This must be an extremely evil ghost born from years of accumulated resentment and hatred. There is no other explanation.

A brief thought flashed through Gen Chisei's mind. At the moment when the catastrophe of life and death enveloped his body, he suddenly thought of his servant Watanabe Tsuna.

Watanabe Tsuna finally faced off against his thousand-year-old enemy Ibaraki Douji. I wonder if he can defeat Ibaraki like he did in the Heian period... Anyway, Minamoto no Chisei himself will probably die at the hands of the evil spirit.

Gen Chisheng thought sadly. He finally understood why he was able to summon Watanabe Tsuna!

Because he, like himself, was a ruthless demon slayer who kept his emotions buried deep in his heart. Perhaps because he was a Heroic Spirit, Watanabe Tsuna had gone further on the path of demon slayer, while himself... not only was he not strong enough, he was even thinking about some meaningless trivial things before his death...

Ding!

At the critical moment, Fengjian Liuli suddenly pulled back the blade and slashed it to the side. A thrown sword was hit accurately on the center of gravity by him, making a harsh metallic impact sound, and then it was picked up and flew away.

The long sword that was thrown over was of extraordinary quality. At first glance, it was a famous sword that was worthy of being included in the sword collection of the Eight Snake Families, but at this moment it became a hidden weapon for sneak attacks.

Fengjian Liuli's face suddenly turned cold, while Yuan Zhisheng felt relieved. They both realized a fact at the same time - a new obstacle (reinforcements) had arrived at the scene!

The blade spun in the air and finally landed in the hands of an old man.

Uesugi Kotsu gripped his sword hilt tightly, simultaneously displaying the long sword in his other hand and slowly pacing forward. Though he wasn't attacking, his composed demeanor and iconic stance commanded attention. The Genji brothers recognized this as the orthodox dual-sword style, the "Niten Ichiryu" of the swordsman master Miyamoto Musashi.

Feng Jianli's nerves were on edge. He didn't understand who this old man was or why he was trying to stop him. Furthermore, the old man's strength was terrifying. Feng Jianli felt that if he dared to continue swinging his sword at Yuan Zhisheng, the old man's two swords would pierce his body with even more powerful momentum, swiftness, and precision, just like before.

But what is suspicious is the identity of this old guy. There are not many people who are proficient in the second-class ancient martial arts swordsmanship, not to mention that there are very few who can make him feel threatened by the swordsmanship alone.

But Yuan Zhisheng immediately revealed the old man's identity - "Father!"

What!? Feng Jianli's eyes widened. His brother called this old man "father". Doesn't that mean that the old man is also his biological father?

But how could this be possible? The two brothers grew up in the mountains, never having received any visits or even a single greeting from their original family, yet the elder brother had unexpectedly found them without a word?

"Hahaha, don't be afraid, son!" Uesugi Yue strode over. "No matter what enemy we can't deal with, Dad will block it for you first!"

"Dad?" Feng Jianli smiled sinisterly. He thought he had discovered the "truth."

"Brother, after all these years, you've actually found some fake people to be your family. I also heard that you adopted a girl named Eri as your sister... Compared to me living alone among the demons, you must be living comfortably with that fake family environment..."

"Like, a tortoise that won't leave its warm mud puddle?"

Feng Jianli's laughter was tinged with anger. He suddenly realized that since losing him, his brother had not been affected at all, and had actually received so much "family love" over the years. When he realized this, the hatred in his heart deepened...

Why! Why did my brother have to disregard family affection and coldly stab me?

Why did his brother still live so well even without him? Could it be that his fake father and sister were better than his brother, capable of replacing his insignificant position?

"..."

Genno Chisei was speechless. He could not answer the evil spirit's question. In his mind, his real brother Genno Chijo had died many years ago. Since investigating the murder case in Kakutori Town that year, he should have realized that Genno Chijo's body had been taken over by the awakened evil spirit.

Seeing that Yuan Zhisheng remained silent, Fengjian Liuli took his reaction as a tacit agreement, so she smiled even more, and her anger and hatred echoed in the empty corridor along with her laughter.

"Wait! Son, your opponent is your own brother? Why haven't you mentioned it before? I never knew you had a brother!"

Uesugi Yue was shocked after listening to the conversation between the two. He took a closer look in the faint moonlight and found that Kazama Ruri looked almost the same as Minamoto no Chisei!

Yuan Zhisheng explained helplessly, "Yes, father, I do have a younger brother who grew up with me. His name is Yuan Zhinu, but he..."

"Little girl!" Uesugi Yue's voice instantly rose eight octaves. The excited old father didn't even finish listening to Gen Chisheng's explanation. He took big strides with an excited look on his face and ran over quickly, approaching Kazama Ruri.

Hahaha, I actually have another son! Double happiness!

"!?"

Fengjian Liuli was feeling a little confused. He didn't understand what was wrong with this old man. He actually ran towards him with a lewd smile on his face. Could he be a perverted old man with special fetishes?

Feng Jianli gripped the knife handle nervously. Although this perverted old man was indeed very despicable, his strength was also abnormally strong. He absolutely could not let his guard down...

Suddenly, his eyes widened - Uesugi Yue, who was running towards him, even threw away the double swords in his hands and approached quickly with his arms open with empty hands!

Feng Jianli sneered inwardly, his expression relaxed. Since the opponent was so foolish as to abandon his weapon, he didn't need to be too scared. He immediately stepped forward and mercilessly delivered a cassock slash to the wide-open Uesugi Yue!

However, at the last moment, Uesugi Yue accurately captured the trajectory of the blade like a true master of ancient martial arts kendo.

Instead, he took the lead and rushed into Fengjian Liuli's arms at the perfect time. He stretched out his strong arm to clamp his wrist and arm, and with a huge force, he easily controlled the blade that was about to chop!

Fengjian Liuli was shocked again.

Yuan Zhisheng, who witnessed his old father easily subduing the evil spirit, was also stunned.

This is the "No Sword Taker" of the "Yagyu Shinkage Ryu"! Uesugi Yue clearly knows more than just Niten Ichiryu. The number of sword techniques he masters may be beyond the imagination of the two brothers!

Uesugi Yue firmly controlled Kazama Ruri's blade, then snatched the cherry-red katana and flung it far away. Then, the former Shadow Emperor used his unparalleled strength to hold Kazama Ruri tightly.

The latter was stunned by the big bear hug. Although Uesugi Yue was wearing a decent and eye-catching priest's robe, the unconcealable smell of barbecued pork and chopped green onions in the lining still brought a strong impact to Fengjian Liuli's sense of smell - what kind of job do you do, guy?

"Let me go!" Feng Jianli rarely lost his composure. He felt that he was being squeezed to the point of being unable to breathe, and his entire nose was filled with the strange smell of soy sauce, pork bones and barbecued pork. "Shameless old man, let me go quickly!"

"Hey! Son, don't be so shy. No one will do anything to you with your dad here!"

Feng Jian Liuli was still struggling, "I'm worried about what you're going to do to me! And brother, why are you just standing there watching? You have the guts to call over an old man to control me, but why don't you have the guts to fight me to the death in a fair fight?"

"Little girl, you're wrong. You two brothers should live in harmony and be a loving family! Even if there are any conflicts or misunderstandings, you can sit down and talk carefully with each other, communicate with each other heart to heart, and they can be resolved!"

Uesugi Yue offered some earnest advice, "It's understandable that young people tend to act impulsively and passionately, and it's not their fault. However, everything has its limits. Once you start fighting with real weapons and cause unforeseen consequences, it will be too late to regret it!"

"Shut up, you shameless old man! What do you know?"

Feng Jianli was speechless and mad, "How confident are you to say such a thing? Do you understand what kind of life I have been carrying so far?!"

"I understand! I understand it too well. The joys and sorrows of youth are like oil boiling in a raging fire and flowers blooming in profusion. When your youthful indulgence is over and the dust of time has swept away, you will eventually find that finding someone with whom you can promise to live a peaceful and stable life is more real than anything else..."

Uesugi Yue's eyes rolled as he said this. "By the way, little girl, do you have someone in mind? If so, please tell me. If not, think about who would be the first woman you think of when it comes to dating. Let me give you some advice!"

The old man decided to change the subject and turned the atmosphere to the area he considered himself to be proficient in - the old-fashioned issue of partners. On this issue, Uesugi Yue's advantage as a parent was unlimited!

"Object..." Fengjian Liuli's struggling movements gradually weakened, and he repeated the word expressionlessly.

For some reason, he suddenly thought of Sakurai Kogure, the assistant who had been silently managing his team in Gokurakukan. Just one year after he joined the Oni Clan, Sakurai Kogure had defected from the clan and joined Kazama Ruri's faction.

I didn't treat her with any kind of politeness, and she never seemed to express anything verbally...

And Genji also coincidentally remembered a similar character around him, Sakura Yabuki...

"So you see, there is still some, right?" Uesugi Yue winked, revealing an "I understand" expression. "So, as long as we have a common topic, we can sit down and chat no matter what. Why bother with looking bitter and resentful?"

"..."

"You've heard it, right, Zhisheng? Zhinu has already found someone she likes, so why don't you hurry up and make some efforts! Why don't you just bring her partner here so that I, as her father, can meet her and vet her!"

Uesugi Yue patted Minamoto's back vigorously again, "Chinu, you don't want to miss out on your lover and let her fall into the arms of another man, do you?"

Yuan Zhinu's eyes bulged. "You despicable old man!" He was furious. He had never expected the old man to be so shameless as to issue the Minotaur Declaration in public.

Uesugi Yue looked a little embarrassed. He seemed to have just said it off the cuff. That tone of voice should be used in threatening sentences in adult films. He should watch less porn in the future to avoid making a fool of himself in front of the children.

Feeling the increasing struggle of the young girl Gen in his arms, and her mumbling inexplicable tones, Uesugi Yue secretly thought that it was not good. He had gone too far and actually angered this child to the point of activating the Word Spirit!

So he subconsciously stretched out his hand and hit Yuan Zhinu on the back of the head.

boom!

Genjiro fainted and fell unwillingly into the arms filled with the smell of barbecued pork and chopped green onions.

Chapter 209 Trial

"Father, you..." Yuan Zhisheng hesitated, sighing inwardly. He had indeed thought about who would come to the rescue, but he had never imagined it would be his own father, and in such a way, turning a dangerous life-or-death struggle into a third-rate family ethics soap opera with irrelevant and bizarre dialogue.
