Chapter 46 - Stop at the Last Minute

*SWOOSH!* *SWOOSH!* *SWOOSH!*

Thirty-two Noble Phantasms swept over Li Shuwen with unmatched power.

Each Noble Phantasm was launched like a cannonball, and covered by magic power at the moment of launch, turning into a stream of golden light.

At a glance, it was as if thirty-two golden streams of light swept over Li Shuwen almost in the blink of an eye, locking down every part of Li Shuwen's body.

Facing this terrifying attack, Li Shuwen's expression didn't change at all. He stepped on the ground, and his steps were like stone before he took action.

*BOOM!* *BOOM!* *BOOM!*

Thirty-two sounds were heard the next moment, creating billowing smoke and dust. Even the ground was shaking. The traces of fragmentation spread, directly shaking the nearby warehouse and containers, and there was a rumbling sound.

Under such influence, Iskandar drove the ox cart to avoid it, Saber also took Irisviel back, and Lancer returned to his Master's side to guard, leaving the battlefield to fight.

In this kind of impact, people who couldn't see the situation clearly couldn't help but worry about Li Shuwen's condition. It was just a series of attacks, like artillery fire.

However, all the Servants showed surprised or appreciative expressions, because they all clearly saw what happened.

"As expected of a man who has developed his martial arts to the maximum. He's truly amazing. I really want to invite him to join me, but seeing how he values his national honor, I'm sure he won't agree! Haiz, what a pity." Iskandar said with great regret.

Hearing this, Waver, who was lying shivering inside the ox cart, asked: "Ri-Rider, what are you talking about? Is Li Shuwen okay?"

Iskandar: "Yeah, he's fine. Not only is he fine, but he withstood the King of Heroes' attack intact. Look, there's no joy on the Brilliant King's face. He's even more unhappy."

"Brilliant King?" Waver's face twitched and he secretly looked at Gilgamesh, finding that Gilgamesh had a cold and dissatisfied expression in his eyes.

The camera replayed the situation in slow motion directly from Gilgamesh's perspective, allowing people in the real world to know what happened through this scene that was like a flashback of Gilgamesh's memory.

At that time, facing the impact of thirty-two Noble Phantasms, Li Shuwen blocked the attack with both hands and his right leg at that moment, and directly parried all three Noble Phantasms in an instant.

Then, he grabbed the fourth Noble Phantasm – a beautiful spear, and then took the spear to use for himself with his backhand, by twisting his backhand, he merged with his perfect martial arts.

Li Shuwen was already good at using spears, using Baji Spear skills to pick, parry, thrust, sweep, and hook to avoid the impact of the Noble Phantasms. The rain of Noble Phantasms blocked or dodged, and finally handled every attack perfectly, yet remained unharmed.

The whole process was completed in less than three seconds, and since the first Noble Phantasm hit the ground, sand and stones flew, so people couldn't see the situation clearly at all.

Now that they saw it clearly, many people felt their scalps go numb, their blood surged, and goosebumps all over their bodies.

Especially those who practice martial arts, their blood vessels felt swollen and their minds drifted.

The best martial arts!

This is the true best martial arts!

This is not the flashy tricks on TV, or showing off, but the highest level of martial arts that is truly achieved through hard work.

Perfect, heaven and man are one!

A warrior's ultimate pursuit is no more than this.

——VIDEO——

Gilgamesh said in a serious tone: "How dare you touch my precious treasure with your hands! Li Shuwen, are you so eager to die?"

Along with his words, the golden ripples behind him expanded further, and this time, the number of Noble Phantasms doubled to sixty-four based on the thirty-two Noble Phantasms, and the rank of the Noble Phantasms also increased.

Based on the details, the audience didn't know it, so the narration was sounded at the right time.

[Gilgamesh's anger can no longer be contained, but he also understands that Li Shuwen is a truly powerful warrior. Therefore, not only has the number of Noble Phantasms he released this time increased, but their level has also increased, from the original Rank D Noble Phantasms to Rank C]

[The increase in Noble Phantasm rank means that even if they are just fired like cannonballs, the power of each attack will at least double]

Now, people in the real world have a deeper understanding of Noble Phantasms, and they feel very reasonable to have a hierarchical difference between Noble Phantasms.

After all, various ranks have appeared many times on the light screen before, so it's not a problem if Noble Phantasms also have ranks.

On the contrary, many organizing parties are satisfied with the improvement of the ranking setting.

At this moment, the smoke dissipated, and Gilgamesh was also preparing to launch a new fatal attack against Li Shuwen.

However, when the smoke dissipated, he stopped and didn't launch an attack, because there was no longer Li Shuwen's figure in the ruins, only the spear that Li Shuwen had seized and used as a weapon was inserted into the ground.

So, what about Li Shuwen?

No one could be found, because his aura and figure disappeared completely, as if invisible.

Gilgamesh immediately looked around, he suddenly realized something.

But when he turned around, it was too late.

The proud King of Heroes saw Li Shuwen suddenly emerge from invisibility, and suddenly took a step forward in the air.

*BAM!*

With one kick, the streetlight under Gilgamesh's feet ignited, and the shock wave spread, causing his body to fly through the air involuntarily.

Then, Li Shuwen launched his attack the next moment.

Like a tiger attacking, he pounced and struck precisely at the back of Gilgamesh's head. Even the King of Heroes would have his brains scrambled in place with this blow.

Because this is Li Shuwen's ultimate move that can be elevated to a Noble Phantasm: No Second Strike and Fierce Tiger Forcibly Climbs a Mountain.

During the war, many people died from this trick.

Although it's just one of the moves of Bajiquan, with the blessing of Li Shuwen's legend, the move has directly been upgraded to a Noble Phantasm exclusive to him!

There is no hierarchy, because this is an anti-unit Noble Phantasm, and its power is consistent with Li Shuwen's own strength.

Now, Li Shuwen is blessed by the local fighting legend, although he is old, his strength, agility, and physical fitness are the same as in his prime. If he hits with one blow, as long as the blow is hard enough, the King of Heroes will be killed with one blow on the spot.

This is another characteristic of Li Shuwen as an Assassin, he kills the enemy with one attack and will never be careless, he will kill the enemy as quickly as possible.

The whole collision process was very fast, almost in the blink of an eye, Li Shuwen had launched a fatal blow that the Servants could see.

When they saw this scene, everyone thought Gilgamesh was dead. No matter how powerful the King of Heroes is, he was killed at first sight.

However, just before he was about to kill Gilgamesh, Li Shuwen's hand stopped. Only the strong wind from his palm blew Gilgamesh's hair, disheveling his straight hairstyle.

Then, the two landed on the ground one after another and stood still.

Li Shuwen withdrew his attack, and after Gilgamesh was silent for a while, he looked back at him with a ferocious face: "Do you pity me? Mongrel!!!"

In his anger, all his hair had fallen down and turned into natural strands. At this moment, the Gate of Babylon also changed direction and pointed at Li Shuwen below again, and not only were there those sixty-four, but also more Noble Phantasms appeared, and the number instantly exceeded one hundred.

Gilgamesh is too arrogant. This many Noble Phantasms is just cheating.

However, facing this terrifying pressure, Li Shuwen just said calmly: "Pity? No, King of Uruk, this is the martial virtue of Chinese martial arts, and it is also one of the representatives of the word ritual, that is – stop at the last minute!"

The scene fell silent, and even Gilgamesh, who was angry, suddenly fell silent.

In the real world, the situation is similar to the light screen. Some people understand what Li Shuwen wants to express, and they all look at Li Shuwen on the screen with admiration, while those who don't understand complain one after another, saying Li Shuwen should have just defeated the opponent.

Some people who understand smiled contemptuously, thinking that Li Shuwen is really long-winded, and the Chinese warriors are very hypocritical.

As the person involved, Gilgamesh snorted coldly after being silent for a while, raised his hand, and all the Noble Phantasms were retracted into the golden ripples, and said in a calm tone: "Your country, I have agreed to this. This is a country worthy of my respect!"

There was no praise, but the attitude of treating him as an equal was the greatest respect for the proud King of Heroes.

Li Shuwen smiled when he heard this and nodded: "This is the right way. Respecting each other is the essence of ethics."

❀❀❀

In the real world, those who didn't understand finally asked questions. For example, as a girl, Illya asked her father in confusion: "Dad, what happened? Why did the old man stop suddenly? Why did the sparkling man suddenly change his attitude?"

Before Kiritsugu could answer, Shiro said thoughtfully: "It should be… Grandpa Li told the King of Heroes in his own way that China is a power and etiquette go hand in hand. It's a martial virtue and a kind of etiquette. It symbolizes the generosity of a great country and the long civilization of China."

"Hmm… I don't know if my understanding is correct. It should be like that. In Grandpa Li's heart, it's more important for the King of Heroes to recognize and accept the greatness of Chinese civilization than to directly kill him.? After all, they are also from the same camp, it's not good if they kill each other directly…"

Hearing this, Illya looked at her father: "Dad, is that right?"

Kiritsugu touched Illya's head: "That's right! There may be a deeper meaning, so Illya has to read and understand it herself."

Suddenly, the light screen changed abruptly!

A torrent of dark red suddenly flowed out from the other side of the warehouse and swept over Li Shuwen and Gilgamesh – to be precise, both of them were affected.
