As Sikong Xu's heart was pierced by the spear piercing the death thorn, Sikong Xu's whole person was also knocked out, and the blood gushing from his heart was sprinkled on the ground, and the whole scene looked extremely bloody.

"You shameless villain!" Artoria's eyes were already red, and she hurried to Sikongxu's side to check on his condition.

It's just that at this time, in Sikong Xu's place, Lancer's spear has pierced through a bloody hole alive, and even directly through this hole in Sikong Xu's heart, he can see the scene behind him.

And Sikongxu's aura is getting weaker and weaker......

"Don't blame me Saber, to be honest, I'm also very disgusted with this method, but my master even directly used a spell to order me to use the Noble Phantasm to sneak attack this kid, it's a pity that such a good genius, this is the Holy Grail War, Saber."

Lancer's tone revealed a trace of regret for Sikong Xu and unhappiness for Yan Feng Qili, to be honest, Lancer, who likes to fight directly and head-on, really disdains such a method, but he can't do anything under the effect of the spell.

"In that case...... Lancer, I'll do everything in my power to get you out of the game here, even if it's to avenge Xu! Artoria gently let go of her mind and stood up at the same time, her eyes sharpening at Lancer.

"Saber, is this your knighthood? It's because of the sense of justice, even if you lose your lord and are about to be eliminated by the Holy Grail War, you still have to take revenge...... Well, I'll give you that chance! Lancer gave Saber a few words of praise as he himself entered combat mode.

Although the use of the Piercing Deaththorn Spear caused a bit of a drain on his own mana, the belligerent Lancer still chose to confront Artoria head-on.

However, just as Artoria chose to fight to the death with Lancer, a slight cough suddenly came from Sikong Xu behind her.

"Ahem, Saber, wait a minute."

Sikong Xu, whose heart had been pierced and fell to the ground, sat up strangely at this time.

"Xu!"

"You're not dead!"

Seeing this scene, the pupils of both Artoria and Lancer suddenly constricted, as a human being, even Artoria and Lancer, who are heroic spirits, feel incredible.

The existence that is immortal through the heart, Artoria and Lancer also know a lot.

It's like a vampire true ancestor with a strong life force!

Although ordinary vampires also have a strong recovery ability, once their heart or head is pierced, they will also die directly, but among vampires, there is a special existence such as the True Ancestor.

Vampire True Ancestors have an infinite lifespan and life force, they are not afraid of sunlight, holy water, or crosses, and can be resurrected even if their whole body turns into a puddle of blood or ashes.

There are even some exotic beasts that can move even with their heads broken, and even as heroic spirits, a pierced heart is not a fatal injury.

It's just that whether it's a vampire or a heroic spirit, these beings are beyond the scope of humans, although the predecessor of the heroic spirits is humans, but their whole body is made of magic that has been transformed into heroic spirits, and their hearts are injured, and they only need to use magic to heal them again.

However, Sikong Xu is a real human being! It's quite rare for a complete human being to be okay after the heart has been pierced.

"Xu! How are you, okay! After seeing Sikong Xu trembling up from the ground, Artoria immediately ran over to check on him, Artoria was very worried that Sikong Xu was just returning to the light now.

After all, in the legend, some human heroes can survive for a short period of time even if they are fatally injured, that is because their strong willpower is supporting themselves not to fall, but these heroes still fall after all, and a fatal injury is a fatal injury, and it is impossible for normal humans to recover from a fatal injury through normal wound healing methods.

"Whew-it's okay, I almost thought I was going to die......" Sikong Xu let out a long breath, and then slowly stood up with Artoria's support.

"You...... Not dead! At this moment, even Lancer felt incredible, he clearly felt that the spear that pierced the death thorn in his hand had pierced through the other party's heart, but now the other party was still alive!

"Hehe, Lancer, no, Cú Chulainn, the effect of your Noble Phantasm is indeed against the sky, but it is not without a way to deal with it." Sikong Xu smiled, as if he was glad that he was not killed by the other party.

The causal effect of reversing the attack attached to the Piercing Deaththorn Spear is indeed very powerful, and it is a completely undodgable effect.

It's just that the spear that pierces the Deaththorn just can't be dodged.

At the very least, Sikong Xu knew a lot of ways to deal with the spear that pierced the thorns.

The first is to prevent Cúchulainn from having a chance to use the Noble Phantasm, and directly use absolute force to suppress Cú Chulainn, and it is difficult for the suppressed Cú Chulainn to be able to use the Noble Phantasm, or to keep fighting at a distance from Cú Chulainn.

Although the Piercing Lance of Death Thorn can change the causal judgment of the attack, it is essentially only the attack judgment of a gun, and if you fight at a distance from Cúchulainn, Cú Chulainn will naturally not be able to use the Noble Phantasm beyond the range of the spear.

The second is the simplest, most effective and violent way, and that is defense!

Although the spear piercing the dead thorn can reverse the cause and effect of the absolute hit target, however, the cause and effect of the reversal of this treasure is only a "hit", if you use weapons and armor such as shields or armor when fighting against this magic gun, you can directly defend this magic gun!

Because being defended is also considered a type of "hit", but only if the defense power must be higher than the attack power of the piercing spear.

The third way is to have super luck and intuition.

If you're lucky enough to directly affect the determination of cause and effect, you can also dodge the spear that pierces the Deaththorn, and if you have a keen intuition, you can also dodge, and although Sikong Xu's combat instinct is very keen, he obviously didn't have the luck to change cause and effect, so he was hit in the end.

And the fourth way is to be like Sikong Xu, who has strong vitality and resilience, and will not die in the case of fatal injuries, if it is facing an existence that cannot be killed, then no matter how much you hit the other party, it will have no effect.

Sikongxu, which happens to be such a type.

The "Three Thousand Starry Sky Physique" brought to him by the Three Thousand Yan Flames has made Sikong Xu's vitality and recovery power have been improved by leaps and bounds, not only can he quickly recover from his injuries, but he will not be fatal even when he is fatally injured in the heart or head, if Si Kong Xu's strength is improved a little more, and the "Three Thousand Starry Sky Physique" is brought into full play, if his opponent does not blast him into pulp, he can recover!

Although the recovery power of this physique is far inferior to that of the Vampire True Ancestor, it is more than enough to recover the fatal wound from the heart penetration.
