"Who are these two guys?!"

Zouken Matou, who was inside the house, could, of course, clearly observe the situation outside through magic, and then—he was completely dismayed by what he saw.

Having heard that the Einstein family's Servants and Masters had appeared in Fuyuki City, Matou Kariya and his Berserker were no longer in the villa, but had gone to search for their whereabouts.

Therefore, when Zouken Matou heard that extremely arrogant shout, he did not choose to confront it head-on, but instead activated his defensive barrier to see who it was.

Then he saw two extremely arrogant men, comparable to terrorists, carrying rocket launchers and continuously bombarding his house.

This is Fuyuki City! Not the battlefields of Iraq and Afghanistan. Where did these two guys get so many rocket launchers? And they just started blasting everything without any regard for anything else.

They completely disregard any potential consequences!

What exactly are these two trying to do?

Su Mo had already stated his intention from the beginning: he wanted to kill this old man—the reason being, of course, that this guy had ruined a perfectly cute little girl.

As for the subsequent impact, Su Mo was not worried at all. Matou Zouken was not an ordinary person. If something happened in his family, in the end, the magician family and the Holy Church would have to take the blame and solve the problem themselves.

If this gets out of hand, the government might just take action against these weirdos.

The Matou family's protective barrier was indeed quite strong, but it couldn't withstand the relentless bombardment of rockets. Finally, with a loud bang, the barrier shattered.

Looking at the RPG rocket launchers scattered all over the ground, Li Yunlong said, "It's a bit of a waste." In the war years, how many Japanese soldiers could these things have killed?

"Anyway, there's no need to retrieve the missiles." Su Mo didn't seem to care at all.

"Who...are you people?"

A chilling voice came from the doorway of the house. The door opened, and a bald, mummy-like, hunchbacked, short old man with unusual appearance and behavior stared at Su Mo and Li Yunlong.

The old man was dressed in a navy blue and dark gray kimono and carried a wooden cane. A strong, unpleasant odor emanated from him.

Needless to say, this old man is Matou Zouken.

“This guy…” A hint of disgust flashed in Li Yunlong’s eyes. His understanding of Matou Zouken came from Su Mo and some other information.

If he hadn't trusted this fellow villager, he wouldn't have rashly come to their door.

Now that he had seen the real person, Li Yunlong knew that Comrade Wang Aiguo hadn't lied to him; the old man in front of him was definitely not a normal person. Heroic spirits are quite sensitive to auras, and the stench emanating from their bodies was practically identical to that of a corpse.

This old man should have died long ago, but he's still alive. That's because he's resurrected by consuming other people's bodies as substitutes; Zouken is just such a parasite, constantly living off the bodies of others.

Such a person truly deserves to die.

"boom!"

A crisp gunshot interrupted Li Yunlong's thoughts.

Just as Matou Zouken appeared, Su Mo had already pulled out the pistol he had taken from the Special Operations Bureau and pulled the trigger as Zouken opened his mouth to ask questions—he simply couldn't be bothered to say anything more to Zouken.

With his aged body, Zouken Matou was naturally unable to dodge bullets.

He hadn't expected that these two wouldn't even bother to say a single word to him, the head of the Matou family, and would pull the trigger so easily.

Snowflakes burst from Zouken Matou's head, and he collapsed.

However, Zouken Matou's fall does not mean the battle is over; on the contrary, the battle has only just begun.

As Zouken Matou collapsed, a swarm of insects suddenly emerged from behind the door, which had inexplicably been hidden in the darkness. They engulfed Zouken's body and then surged towards Su Mo and Li Yunlong like a tidal wave.

"What the hell is that?!"

Li Yunlong suddenly felt a chill run down his spine, not because he was afraid, but because he was disgusted. A swarm of strange insects swarmed and coiled before his eyes; anyone would feel nauseous.

In particular, most of these insects are quite lewd in appearance.

The Matou family possesses various insect techniques, and insects are their weapons against enemies.

Even Zouken Matou himself could be said to be composed of insects, which is why he has been able to live for so long. Although Su Mo's shot accurately hit Zouken Matou's head, it failed to kill him.

To truly kill Zouken Matou, his insect form must be completely destroyed.

Li Yunlong slashed twice, cutting several insects that were flying towards him like throwing knives in two.

"Damn, that's disgusting!" However, his broadsword was clearly useless against insects. In the blink of an eye, several strange insects crawled onto his feet, though they were shaken to the ground by Li Yunlong's jump and stomp. But when Li Yunlong landed back on the ground, there was almost nowhere to step.

Like a tidal wave, the insects have taken over every part of the courtyard.

Su Mo and Li Yunlong are now standing in a sea of ​​insects; the slightest movement will cause them to encounter insects.

However, these insects did not swarm forward and engulf Su Mo and Li Yunlong. Instead, they wriggled around them, with a few occasionally launching probing attacks.

"Who are you? Who sent you?" A chilling voice came from within the swarm of insects.

Su Mo didn't want to waste words with Matou Zouken, but that didn't mean Matou Zouken didn't want to find out the identities of these two people.

Judging from the large number of rocket launchers they pulled out, they were no ordinary people. As the head of the Matou family, an old monster who had lived for hundreds of years, Zouken Matou's cunning and resourcefulness allowed him to deduce many things from the slightest clues.

For example, right now he's thinking, but which force wants to deal with him?

The Church? The other two magician families? Or some other force—or even, could it be that the authorities want to deal with him?

But what are these people's motives, and what is their connection to this Holy Grail War? Could it be that someone intends to seize the Holy Grail and completely dismantle the three major families?

For a moment, Zouken Matou considered countless possibilities. Of course, to choose the most likely possibility and make the most correct response, he still needed the answers from the two guys in front of him.

Typical overthinking.

"Old Wang, I'm going to make my move." Li Yunlong said, slicing the two insects in two with another stroke.

"No need, it's already over."

Su Mo turned towards the direction from which the sound had come from, and with a casual wave of his hand, a chain shot out from his hand, its diamond-shaped tip piercing into the slightly bulging and surging insect nest.

The insects in that spot suddenly scattered, revealing the body of Zouken Matou, who was hiding inside, crawling on the ground, his head still bleeding but not dead.

"you……"

A strange sound came from Zouken Matou, filled with unspeakable terror.

Despite his aged body, Zouken Matou's true form is an insect hidden inside his body. As long as the insect lives, he can continue to live.

But just now, the chain wrapped around the black-clad man's hand, and its tip pierced directly through Zouken Matou's chest.

The moment he was pierced, Zouken Matou felt his body, hidden in other parts of his body and ready to move at any moment, being pierced at the same time, rendering him unable to move.

Unknown Chains

grade:???

Category: Anti-Personnel Noble Phantasm

Attack range: 1-5/1-99

Maximum capture: 1/99

Description: An unknown Noble Phantasm, existing in both chain and thread forms. Special Ability: Intangibility. Chain Form Special Ability: Automatically locks onto and captures the soul, linking the opponent's and user's life force to inflict equal damage.

This treasure is in a partially damaged state.

Su Mo's Concentric Chains, while having a wider attack range in their thin-thread form, are essentially used "separately," meaning they cannot connect the opponent's life force with his own.

In chain form, once it pierces the opponent's body, regardless of whether the opponent has a physical body or where it is hiding, it will automatically capture the soul and connect with Su Mo.

However, the concentric chains in their chained state are only a few meters long and can only be used when the other party is close to them.

After releasing the insect swarm, Matou Zouken, believing he had the situation under control, approached Su Mo in an attempt to gather intelligence... and Su Mo immediately took action.

Goodbye, you old geezer.

Before Zouken Matou could finish his terrified words, Su Mo turned the gun on himself and pulled the trigger.

The insects on the ground froze the moment the gunshot rang out. After wriggling a few times, the flying insects in mid-air also fell to the ground.

With the death of their master, Zouken Matou, their familiars naturally could not continue to live.

"Ouch." Su Mo wiped the blood from his face, shook his head, and muttered something.

To completely kill Zouken Matou, using the Heart Chains would be the fastest method. He's not some demon; he possesses immense vitality. One life for another, and he could easily kill the old man.

Although Su Mo didn't have the habit of stripping clothes off the dead, after the Ark disappeared, he couldn't help but devour most of the souls of the corpses scattered on the ground as a kind of inventory.

Su Mo now possesses a much larger inventory of souls than he did in his original world. In fact, in that world with demons, a few hundred souls was considered a relatively small number for Su Mo at that time.

With such a long lifespan, even Su Mo himself sometimes forgets exactly how many souls he has devoured.

"Old Wang, your treasure is really impressive," Li Yunlong said to Su Mo.

His **collection skills are very strong, but compared to that, the Red Tassel Greatsword is much more ordinary and not as outstanding as his abilities.

Chapter Sixty-Five: Saving the little girl is truly wonderful!

(P.S.: Thank you Yeda for the 1888 reward! Thank you Huihui~ Sister, Dongdongqi, Hanmingx, Liar Master乀, Little Human Flesh, and Middle-Aged Tyrant for the rewards! P.S.2: I have to go out tonight, so the update will be late. Please don't wait. P.S.3: Please add to your favorites and vote!)

"It's something I risked my life for, and it's only for me." Su Mo smiled.

The concentric chains are indeed a very useful weapon, but they also have great limitations. If it weren't for Su Mo's special characteristics, he wouldn't have been able to use them at all.

"Where to next?" Li Yunlong asked. "Should we check on Irisviel and the others?"

"Hmm..." Su Mo paused for a moment, then slapped his fist against his palm. "I almost forgot something. Come with me." With that, he walked directly into the house in front of him.

"What's inside?" Li Yunlong followed.

"The reward after defeating the roadside monsters..." Su Mo said.

Su Mo was not a man full of justice like Li Yunlong. His initial purpose in wanting to kill Matou Zouken was very simple: to save this cute little girl.

Inside the insect nest in the basement, Su Mo held the dazed Matou Sakura in his arms, or rather, the youngest daughter of the Matou family, adopted by Tokiomi Tohsaka of the Tohsaka family. Her real name should be Tohsaka Sakura.

"That old man—" Li Yunlong's eyes widened when he saw Matou Sakura's condition.

"Old Li, go find some clothes and bring them over," Su Mo said to Li Yunlong.

"Okay." Li Yunlong nodded. To be honest, when it came to taking care of children, Li Yunlong was actually much better than Su Mo. After all, he was a father himself. But that was all he was—a father.

Su Mo and Li Yunlong were both helpless about Matou Sakura's current state of being withdrawn and like a doll.

Before their arrival, Zouken Matou had already used the Crest Worm on Sakura Matou, subjecting her to inhuman torment.

This directly caused the little girl to fall into a state of autism.

Matou Sakura let Su Mo help her put on her clothes, remaining blank and only occasionally glancing at Su Mo without any other reaction.
