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

An angry roar was immediately heard in the darkness, and the arms exerted force frantically to prevent Emiya from moving forward. At the same time, the metal roof was directly broken, and a dark snake shadow stood up. It was actually the tall Deadpool with a body length of more than five meters!

The snake-like Deadpool stood up with his powerful lower limb muscles, and his heavy body leaned down and pressed down, and the shadow covered Emiya's entire body. Deadpool screamed wildly, and the fishy mucus between his teeth was simply disgusting. It happened that Lao Tang's covering shooting arrived in time, and the M995 armor-piercing bullets hit his back intensively, causing Deadpool to let go in pain for a while.

Emiya seized the opportunity, slashing his blade with all his might, stabbing it into Deadpool's neck. Then, using his leg muscles to exert force, he lifted his foot and stepped on Deadpool's limbs, leaping into the air. Using his body to propel the blade through a rotation of over 180 degrees, he flipped over and landed on Deadpool's back, severing his entire head.

Looking at Deadpool's lower limbs, which were still active and twitching meaninglessly like a conditioned reflex, Emiya felt the strangeness of the situation and a chill in his heart.

This dragon-blooded monster named Deadpool clearly revealed a desire for killing and fresh flesh and blood, which reminded him of Tono Akiha in "Tsukihime" who fell into a reversed impulsive state of "Akagushi". Not only did his emotions become pathological, but he was also addicted to killing and blood-sucking.

But no matter how much Red Lord still retains his human form, this Deadpool has undergone varying degrees of snake-like physical changes. Is this a unique effect of having dragon blood mixed in, or is it a physical change caused by the further deepening of the reversal impulse...?

Suppressing his thoughts, Emiya continued to fight bravely when a scream suddenly came from behind him.

He turned to see Su Xiaoqiang trembling, unable to move from his spot. One of his calves was gripped tightly by sharp, dark blue claws. The paraplegic Deadpool had actually broken away from the battle group, using only his remaining forearms to quietly crawl towards the ordinary people... He truly was a true "bullying the weak and fearing the strong."

Uncle Li next to Su Xiaoqiang was obviously not scared, but his strength was too weak compared to the injured Deadpool. Uncle Li kicked Deadpool's head hard but couldn't kick out this tough beast.

"Get out of the way!"

Su Xiaoqiang heard Wei Gong shouting towards him.

I’ve been fucking caught, how can I get out of the way… Su Xiaoqiang was about to speak when he realized that Emiya was talking to Uncle Li. Uncle Li immediately understood and stepped back. Then Su Xiaoqiang heard a sharp explosion in the air—

Two flashes of light hit Deadpool's back of the head and neck, nailing him to the ground. Upon closer inspection, they turned out to be two arrows!

The strength in Deadpool's arm faded. After Su Xiaoqiang broke free, she looked up and saw Emiya Shirou's heroic bow posture. In a trance, it was like a bright light amidst the dark ink. It was like, so like... the majestic and invincible hero in the movie, with a handsome and gentle face, who was almost stepping on a colorful cloud to meet her in the spotlight...

But in reality, there was no tenderness on that face, only anxiety, and he shouted: "Go! Drive away!"

Su Xiaoqiang saw several dark shadows emerge. Those monsters completely surrounded Emiya as if they were hunting some rare prey. The pent-up emotions in his heart were completely replaced by anger that shot straight to the top of his head. It was as if a voice in his head shouted, "I am not a coward who would abandon my savior and run for my own life. If I have to leave, I must be righteous and take everyone with me..."

But Uncle Li saw that the situation was extremely critical and that staying would only hinder them, so he forced her into the car without saying anything, and the Audi started in reverse gear and quickly backed away.

Su Xiaoqiang was tied to a safety belt and watched Shirou Emiya being swallowed by those dark monsters and disappeared.

Chapter 10 The Great Mantra Technique Nine Infants!

Shirou Emiya felt extremely lucky. He originally thought that he could not avoid Deadpool's sneak attack from behind, but at the critical moment, he had an idea and thought of a way - in fact, he just moved his body slightly, and the guy just pounced on him and hit the bundle of alchemical swords and quivers on his back.

Thus, the stab that was originally powerful enough to penetrate the human body was transformed into a blunt blow. After feeling a wave of shock that shook his internal organs, he flew out of the encirclement, then used inertia to turn over and rolled five or six times on the ground before releasing the force.

Obviously, his performance was too outstanding, attracting the attention of these Deadpools, making them try to resolve the threat by siege... In other words, Deadpool, who has lost his human sanity, still has some wisdom to execute strategies... or is it an instinct similar to hunting of wild beasts?

Pairs of greedy and fearful golden eyes stared at him in the darkness, and his body was restless as if preparing for some warm-up before a pounce.

Emiya Shirou also stared at them without blinking.

Suddenly, he turned and ran, so fast that in the blink of an eye he was faster than a cheetah running, which surprised the Deadpools who were still in the standoff.

Of course, Emiya wasn't going to fight a group of Deadpools alone. The incident with that ordinary girl (Su Xiaoqiang) had reminded him that he needed to pay attention to the situation of his other two companions in the group.

Unexpectedly, Old Tang, who was known to have the weakest frontal combat ability, was not hurt at all. This veteran hunter was still hiding in the corner and shooting secretly, and none of the Deadpools came over to "enthusiastically PK" with him.

"No way, Old Tang, your luck is so incredible!"

"Hahaha, no no, brother Emiya, you're still unparalleled in your bravery... No, go check on Brother Zhou! He's in a bad state, he seems to be surrounded! Go that way!"

Although the battlefield was becoming increasingly fragmented, Old Tang was still a competent support. Zhou Yuxuan's ability to fight and roam while holding up until now was also due to Old Tang's firepower support. So, Emiya entered the battlefield at the fastest speed.

Whoosh whoosh—

Three alchemical arrows flew into the darkness, each one piercing a Deadpool's face with unerring accuracy, sending it reeling with a roar of pain. But Emiya remained stern. Three, four, five... there were no fewer Deadpools here than in the circle he'd just surrounded. A conservative estimate of the remaining Deadpools in the transporter suggested there might be no fewer than twenty.

Zhou Yuxuan also seemed to have killed the two unknown people who drove the transport truck, but facing the siege, Zhou Yuxuan, who was not so lucky, was far less calm than Emiya Shirou -

His Alchemy Gun was completely destroyed by the Deadpools' frequent overheating and overload. Besides the heavy Dragon Severing Platform, he could only use his Spiritual Scripture to control multiple steel bars and fine iron sand. However, these attacks, except for those that pierced his eyes and mouth, were easily deflected by the Deadpools' claws and tail flicks...

It was obvious that these were merely ordinary iron, far less powerful than Emiya's alchemical swords. Even his Word Spirit, Iron Flow, couldn't control the metal to the point of instantly completing the alchemical process of "killing metal, giving it new life, and creating recycled metal."

As for getting in close contact with the Deadpools and controlling the metal elements in their bodies, that was like a sheep walking into a tiger's mouth and seeking death... His physical strength due to the high-pressure battle was close to the limit. What was worse was that he was seriously injured. The blood flowed in the air and emitted a fishy smell, which made the bloodthirsty Deadpools look even more excited.

In Zhou Yuxuan's eyes, he was in a dilemma that was slowly leading to his death...if he didn't use this "Dragon-Breaking Platform".

He gently stroked the bronze ring-handled heavy sword in the black scabbard, and the roar of a dragon echoed in his ears. This was a treasure passed down in the Zhou family since ancient times, and it was a weapon that sealed the "living spirit".

It's well known that alchemical weapons, due to their "recycled metal" material, surpass ordinary swords in terms of toughness, hardness, sharpness, and other data. However, recycled metal also has another characteristic: it can accommodate more spirituality.

Sealing the "living spirit" - the soul of a living person - into the weapon as a sacrifice when forging it will make the weapon itself more magical. The Zhou family believes that the Gan Jiang and Mo Ye swords that may exist in the "Three Kings Tomb" are advanced alchemical weapons that have been invested with the soul of a living person.

The Zhou family's Dragon-Severing Platform, however, seals away living dragon spirits. The power it unleashes is even more incredible... but the price paid is immense. Throughout the Zhou family's history, countless individuals have had their souls devoured by attempting to extract the Dragon-Severing Platform. Of the surviving Zhou family members, only Wazhu survived, having passed the test of the Dragon-Severing Platform.

The sky was as dark as ink, and the heavy raindrops fell like a painting.

Zhou Yuxuan wiped the blood from his forehead. His body, constantly exhausted from the frequent use of his Word Spirit, felt like an old engine about to stall. He sighed softly inwardly. Now it was his turn.

In terms of talent and strength, he is far inferior to Lord Wa, so he doesn't think he can be the lucky one to survive.

"Brother Zhou!"

Zhou Yuxuan saw at a glance that Shirou Emiya was charging into the battle group with great force. His two swords were spinning like the wind, cutting Deadpool so hard that his black blood splashed and he retreated repeatedly.

"Sir Emiya, I'm sorry, but I need you to help me resist. I need to endure the test of the Dragon Severing Platform and pay the price to sacrifice my sword!"

"How can this be? Leave the activation of the Noble Phantasm to me!"

Emiya saw Zhou Yuxuan's condition. How could he use his Noble Phantasm in this state?

He seized the Dragon Severing Platform, and an invisible domain unfolded. His magic circuits possessed the ability to analyze, a skill that had enabled Emiya to repair electrical appliances during his school days. He applied this same ability to the activation of his Noble Phantasm.

"Brother Zhou, please tell me the information about the Noble Phantasm...the origin of this bronze sword!" Emiya confronted the Deadpools with a sword in hand.

Understanding the history of the Noble Phantasm is also a necessary process for analysis. This will also help him improve his Noble Phantasm projection technology.

Maybe I’ll be able to project this thing myself in the future.

"Ahem... The Wushan County Chronicles states, 'Legend has it that when King Yu was directing water here, a dragon strayed across the waterway, and he slew it. Hence, the gorge was named Chao Kai, and the terrace was named Zhan Long.'... The Broken Dragon Terrace, where the dragon's soul was sealed, was built by the goddess Yao Ji after King Yu slew the dragon and obtained its soul."

To be honest, Zhou Yuxuan did not intend to let Emiya activate the Dragon-Severing Platform.

Emiya Shirou is now a man favored by the Lord of Wa and recognized by the Zhou family. He believes that even if it means sacrificing his own life, he should ensure that Emiya is safe. However, his condition is too poor, and even if he pulls out the Dragon Breaking Platform, he may not be able to gain the approval of the living spirits...

Pitter-patter. The rain falls violently.

Zhou Yuxuan was about to rush towards the group of Deadpools when some shallow thoughts flashed through his mind.

...In comparison, Emiya's talent in alchemy makes him ashamed. In terms of talent, it might even be better than that of Wa. It would be better if he risked his life to resist Deadpool when Emiya was taking the test of the Dragon Breaking Platform.

"Om-!"

What? Zhou Yuxuan's eyes widened. He saw that Emiya only touched the scabbard for two seconds before pulling out the heavy ancient sword.

The low and last sound that kept echoing was like the last sound of a dragon's roar. Zhou Yuxuan actually read the emotion of joy from the sound that sounded like dragon language!

Under his almost stunned gaze, Emiya Shirou raised the Dragon-Severing Platform and swung out a sword wind dozens of meters long. The heavy rain went against the trend and gathered into nine dragon-shaped water columns!

That is... the Great Word Art (Super Word Spirit) Jiuying!

Chapter 11: Emiya, You Really Make Me Happy

In fact, the release of the Noble Phantasm took less than two seconds.

When Emiya injected the magic power in his body into it, the Dragon Breaking Platform had already been separated from the scabbard.

There was an obvious joy coming from the sword, as if it had met some peerless beauty... No, a peerless partner.

Then, Emiya was stunned for a moment, because after he pulled it out, he found that the heavy sword was only half a blade. Although the concept of the sword was complete and it was not a problem to activate it, the incompleteness caused by the half blade undoubtedly hindered its power.

So that's how it is... Does this sword think it has the ability to make the Noble Phantasm "complete" again?

As the chain of the bronze ring-handled heavy sword automatically wrapped around his arm, Shigong quickly understood Duanlongtai's thoughts.

"Okay, I agree! Next, let's deal with everything in front of us!"

The half of the sword released an astonishing pressure - perhaps this was the power of a dragon. The Deadpools in the entire audience were so frightened that they staggered forward, and even their attempts to retreat and escape looked ridiculous and out of place.

Then the sword became hot and shiny, like the scorching sun dispelling the dark rain curtain. Emiya Shirou raised his hand and swung the Dragon-Severing Platform. Dozens of meters long sword winds rolled up high, and those unfinished buildings were overturned and rolled down like building blocks piled up by children.

The Deadpools' retreat was completely cut off.

Rumble——!

The rain curtain flowed back wildly, forming a column of water that shot up into the sky.

In the vast area, the water columns that went against the trend rotated and condensed. They were endowed with spirituality and transformed into snarling water dragons, one, two, three, four...!

Inside the Dragon-Severing Platform, more information flooded into Emiya's mind, making him dream vaguely of a mythical era in which an evil dragon named Jiuying could spit water and fire, emitting a sharp, infant-like hiss. Its cry froze the fierce waters of the Northern Di people into ice, and another cry set the frozen river ablaze...

This was the mythical monster, the Nine Infants that Houyi had personally slain. It turned out that the evil dragon slain by Dayu possessed such great power. Emiya realized that the unleashing of the power of the Noble Phantasm had made this scene a reality.

...Seven, eight, nine!

Emiya leaped high, a torrent of mythical water dragons dancing around him. All the Deadpools were awed by the breathtaking spectacle. Realizing their fate, dozens of them gathered tightly around the shabby transport truck, a ridiculous defense of their last bastion.

The top layer of the transport box had been fiercely torn open, revealing the largest of the Deadpools - no longer in snake form, it had a pair of membranous wings, dense bone joints, more solid scales, more ferocious claws, and a more bloated body. When it stood upright, it was twice as tall as those snake-shaped Deadpools... It turned out that these Deadpools were hoping that their "leader" would rise up and fly to resist fate!

Ah--

The roaring nine dragons seemed to convey a sneer of disdain. Emiya raised his sword high above his head and slashed it down heavily. The nine dragons, ready to attack, accompanied by the pressure of the atmosphere and dragon power, were like a threshold falling from the sky!

The tallest and strongest Deadpool flapped its membrane wings in vain, holding on for a second before collapsing to its knees. Then, a torrent of water crashed down, freezing the surging water into a glacier and blazing fiercely. A sharp, infant-like wail echoed, perhaps the Deadpools' final plea for mercy before dying...

The rain was still falling, and the burning glacier was winding like a dragon and snake in the dark night, dancing wildly in the cold wind.

----

Cold, shaking.

"Hey, are you awake?"

Zhou Yuxuan heard the words of the person next to him in a trance, and nervously lifted the quilt and stood up from the hospital bed, only to see the distracted figure of Old Tang blowing bubble gum while playing StarCraft.

The surrounding rooms were in the familiar style of the prosperous Tang Dynasty, and were obviously his hometown of Xiangyang. However, the only thing that seemed to be incongruous was the flashing light effects and the intensive sounds of fighting on the electronic screen in front of Old Tang.

"Ronald Tang, how did you deal with the Deadpool attack? Did you contact the main family? Oh, and Lord Emiya...hiss!"

Zhou Yuxuan was so excited that he pulled the wound on his body. Amidst the waves of severe stinging pain, he finally vaguely recalled the scene of Shirou pulling out the Dragon-Severing Platform and performing the Great Mantra Technique. Then he lost consciousness due to excessive fatigue.

"Brother Zhou, I think you should just lie down. Your family has already sent a large team to handle the scene. As for the contact with the ruins, it seems that someone else in your Zhou family has been assigned the task... Also, we are friends after all, so just call me Old Tang."

Old Tang waved his hand casually, but Zhou Yuxuan did not relax.

The mission assigned by Lord Wa herself was messed up. Not only did the important guest almost lose his life, but the Broken Dragon Platform, an ancient family sword, was also activated without any application... I'm afraid that the end that awaits me will not be a good one, right?

Suddenly, a clear voice came from outside the door, melodious and pleasant, with a smile -

"Zhou Yuxuan, we're here to see you!"

When Zhou Yuxuan heard this voice, he opened his eyes wide. It turned out to be Lord Wa who came with Emiya Shirou!

When she came in, her face was gentle, not serious at all. She didn't look like she was here to criticize. It was as if she didn't care at all about Zhou Yuxuan's serious mistakes in the mission... Oh, that's not right, why is Wa Lord on Emiya's back?!

"Master Wa, why are you here? I mean, when you go out, at least have someone carry you in a sedan chair. Otherwise, the elders..."

Zhou Yuxuan was so shocked that he was incoherent for a while.

"A sedan chair? Oh, you mean that one with eight people carrying it? It's just for the old family members to show off, and they're not here. If we really use that sedan chair everywhere, wouldn't it be a hassle? Hey! What era is it now? Can't they give me a sports car for a ride or something..."

As the head of the Zhou family, Wazhu has a high status and naturally cannot go anywhere he wants. He has to maintain his appearance. According to the ideas of the old antiques in the family who have lived in the feudal dynasty for hundreds of years, of course the head of the family must ride in a sedan chair. Alas.

"This……"

"Alright, alright, don't be so serious. I did keep your 'mission failure' a secret. Don't be so ungrateful and nag these old guys about such trivial matters."

Lord Wa rolled her eyes.

She now looked nothing like the cold expression she had when she was giving instructions in the hall before. Instead, she looked like a cute porcelain doll with a delicate face and a cheerful smile... Just don't look down at her.

Wazhu leaned her chin on Emiya's shoulder with her hands folded, and the lower half of her long snake body was coiled around Emiya's waist, with her snake tail swinging playfully, making the latter frown.

——This slippery touch reminded Emiya of the close contact with the snake-like Deadpool not long ago, and he felt a little uncomfortable.

Then again, he and Wazhu had only been chatting online for a while, but for some reason, when they met, Wazhu had taken a stronger liking to him. Was it because he had activated the Dragon-Severing Platform to save Zhou Yuxuan? Or was it because they had enjoyed a lively conversation about cultivation the previous time?

Chapter 12 What is the Dragon King's Son-in-law?

Let’s go back to a while ago, when Wa Lord and Emiya Shirou met.

It was the first time that Emiya had seen a being like Wa with a human head and a snake body - not a snake-shaped Deadpool, but a real race with a human head and a snake body.

It's not that he has any prejudice or anything, but he knew "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" in his previous life, and when combined with the name "Lord Wa", it was easy for him to think of the "Nuwa Clan", the descendants of Nuwa in the mythological era. They inherited the spiritual power of the goddess Nuwa from generation to generation and took it as their responsibility to protect the people of the world.

However, at this point in time, the standalone version of "Chinese Paladin" should also be released...
