"Then, Saber, he'll leave it to you." Sikong Xu nodded at Artoria, and then walked straight past Sasaki Kojiro with the others.

Even if Sikong Xu and the others walked directly past Sasaki Kojiro's side with a swagger, the other party didn't have the slightest intention of making a move, just stared straight at Artoria's figure.

"Huh? Aren't you going to stop them? Seeing this scene, Artoria couldn't help but ask, originally she planned to take the lead in entanglement the other party, so that Sikong Xu and them passed, but she didn't expect the other party to be motionless.

"Hehe, the she-fox gave me the task of guarding the mountain gate, but it's not up to me to keep it or not, I can't take the time to deal with so many people." Sasaki Kojiro's smile was a little sly, and it seemed that even if he was summoned by Caster, he would be dissatisfied with his master.

"Well, let's fight it out here!" Artoria raised the "invisible sword" in her hand and stood on the stairs below and quietly looked at Kojiro Sasaki.

"That's what I mean!" Sasaki Kojiro's katana is very long and narrow, and it is very likely that someone will use a weapon of this length.

Under normal circumstances, the length of sword weapons is about three feet, that is, the length between 70 cm and 110 cm, whether it is Artoria's "invisible sword", or the Yuanhong and shark tooth swords made by Sikong Xu using "projection magic", they are only about one meter long.

However, Sasaki Kojiro's katana is five feet long, that is, about one and a half meters long, and when it is upright and downward, it is almost as tall as a person's chest.

Weapon length naturally has the advantage of being long, but in terms of control, it may not be as satisfactory as an ordinary sword.

Obviously, Artoria also noticed that something was wrong with the opponent's weapon, so she quickly narrowed the distance with Sasaki Kojiro at the beginning.

"Oh, I have a lot of combat experience!"

Artoria's header was easily resisted by Kojiro Sasaki.

"Well, I'll give you a return salute as well." Sasaki Kojiro is condescending, the narrow katana in his hand is slashing rapidly, although the body of the katana is long, but it is not wide, and it is even narrower than the average sword, and it is estimated that it is thinner than the width of two fingers.

Sasaki's slashing speed, coupled with the slender katana, singled out Artoria's left hand with a faint line of blood in just the first round.

After a slight pause, Artoria rushed forward again, this time, his sword was more powerful and faster, but the opponent was always able to accurately judge the position of her attack, and every time he was able to skillfully dissolve the power of her weapon, and even seek a chance to counterattack!

Boom!

Artoria frantically slashed at Sasaki Kojiro, and the sparks that erupted from the weapons of both sides even faintly illuminated the surrounding environment, but Sasaki Kojiro still looked light, but it was Artoria, in the process of several moves, he was even caught by the other party in the gap, and he was scratched several times on the back of his hand and even his face.

Of course, this small injury was only recovered in an instant under the magic provided by Sikong Xu.

"I have the upper hand in the weight, strength, and even speed of the weapon, why can't I break through the defense of the person in front of me?" Artoria took a step back, her mind struggling with her opponent's play.

"Oops, that's wonderful." After seeing Artoria push away, Sasaki Kojiro raised the katana in his hand, carried it on his shoulder, and said, "There are at least seven attacks aimed at your head, but each time you blocked it, I didn't expect Western swordsmanship to have its subtlety." ”

Compared with Western swordsmanship, Eastern swordsmanship pays more attention to technical moves, while Western swordsmanship focuses on momentum, although there are also certain ingenious moves, but most Western swordsmen rely on their own momentum to perform those swordsmanship, which is perfectly displayed in Artoria's body.

Does Artoria know swordsmanship? Absolutely! Does Artoria know how to skill? Of course she will, but her swordsmanship and skills are all the kind of swordsmanship that relies on her own momentum to perform, like Sikong Xu's "hundred-step flying sword", what kind of "traversal" gorgeous sword moves, Artoria can't do it at all, she just relies on simple slashing movements to fight the enemy.

There is really no difference between the two, just the difference in fighting style.

"I'm also very impressed with your sword moves, but compared to someone I know, your skills seem to be much worse." Artoria looked at Kojiro Sasaki in front of her, and couldn't help but think about it.

Both of them are the kind of characters who have taken their skills to the extreme, but Sasaki Kojiro's skills have been fixed by his own style, that is, the kind of technique that fights the strong with the weak, although this skill is also exquisite, but it does not have the convincing taste of Sikong Xu.

Sikong Xu's skills are not fixed by himself, because of the "Infinite Martial Arts", he has improved the skills of the world to the extreme, not only has the feeling of being tempered by thousands of tempers, but also has a refreshing sense of admiration as if he has seen a miracle.

If Sasaki Kojiro's skills are displayed, people will praise him for his "sophistication and exquisite skills", but if Si Kongo's skills are displayed, what people do is not cross stations, but exclaim, "Is this a miracle?" Humans can do such a thing! "That's the difference between Kojiro Sasaki and Sikong O.

If Sasaki Kojiro's skills have been promoted to the extreme after countless exercises and countless fights, then Sikong Xu's skills have been born to the extreme.

There is no high or low skill between the two, it just feels different.

After listening to Artoria's words, Kojiro Sasaki did not show any annoyed look, but showed an excited look: "Oh! There is still such a person in the world, I really want to compare myself with him! ”

"The premise is that after this battle, you still have your life!"

"Oh? Is it? Kojiro Sasaki slowly walked down the steps.

"What? Have you given up your superiority? "Until now, Artoria has finally discovered why Sasaki Kojiro is inferior to himself in strength, but he can still easily parry his attacks, that is, because the opponent hits high and low, and uses gravitational potential energy to make his sword swing stronger.

"At this point, you haven't even chosen to show off your treasures, which really disappoints me......" Sasaki Kojiro shook his head, "Although I am nameless, I have sacrificed to the sword all my life, and if you don't want to fight with all your might, then let this belief be forced to succumb to it!" ”

Sasaki Kojiro's whole body has changed, from a somewhat lazy look before to a focused look now, and he wants to force Artoria's treasure out of it!
