Lu Bu, the Thunder General, is my adoptive father in Genshin Impact.

"A curse! A decree!"

Two more fox totems appeared on the roof of the carriage, radiating a similarly chilling aura.

Three thunderbolts struck simultaneously, hitting the ghoul blocking the way—Little Flower beside him.

In Teyvat, there is a creature called the Wickbloom, which disguises itself as various plants to hunt prey. Three lightning bolts directly knocked the Wickbloom out, causing it to wither and fall to the ground on the spot.

"Beautiful and wise Yae no Miko, do you have any other ideas?" Xiao Yi had already given up hope.

"Hmm, hmm, hmm..." the goddess smiled and analyzed, "We're about to crash, let's get out of the car."

Miyamoto Jiro used brute force to pull the four horses back, jumped off the driver's seat, and simultaneously planted the long spear wrapped in gray cloth into the ground. He then nailed half of the spear into the mud and neatly tied the reins to the temporary stake to prevent the horses from being frightened and running away.

Xiao Yi and Yae no Miko jumped off the carriage and came to Miyamoto Jiro's side to prepare for battle.

However, when he saw the leader of the ghouls, he frowned and immediately recognized him.

Although the other person's skin had become dry and pale, Xiao Yi still recognized him as Tadokoro Koji, who had splashed him in the face at the tavern, cheated at the gambling table to try to kill the Minotaur, and saved the Heavenly Thunder for the War Maniac!

Koji Tadokoro also recognized Xiao Yi. The fat man, now a corpse demon, spoke with a voice as unpleasant as dry tinder being rubbed together. He gritted his teeth and said viciously, "Miyamoto Tsubasa, you damned bastard!"

Chapter 68 Lightning Strike the Spear

Before the battle began, Xiao Yi quickly browsed the system panel and found that Ying's trust value had increased again.

(Lord: General Thunder; Trust Value: 25)

It increased by a full 7 points.

It's no wonder, after all, Ying entrusted her fox to him with peace of mind and put Inazuma's safety in his hands. How could she do this without trust?

However, the gods' thinking is truly strange, daring to entrust the safety of the nation to a friend with 25 points of trust.

In short, I became stronger as a result.

The lightning output that used to damage the body when fighting evil spirits can now be used at will, so he decided to give the half-dead ghouls some new tricks.

Nevertheless, one must exert appropriate force; if one releases all strength, the body will still break down.

"Big brother, Yae, don't make a move." Xiao Yi took a few steps forward. "I'll deal with these monsters. It will only take a few minutes to clear the road."

Miyamoto Jiro believed in Xiao Yi, but there was one thing he didn't quite understand: he asked doubtfully, "Xiao-kun, that fat zombie just now called you 'Yi'. When we parted ways, did you use Yi's identity to do a lot of things?"

"Ah... I didn't do anything bad," Xiao Yi said awkwardly. "Besides, I didn't even know who Miyamoto Tsubasa was at that time, so I just borrowed his name."

The other ghouls around them calmed down and stood still, swaying back and forth, indicating that they were similar to Koji Tadokoro, still retaining their intelligence even in this state.

There were about fifty of these ghouls, and they didn't swarm and overwhelm the three of them all, because the fat man wanted to kill his enemy Xiao Yi with his own hands, and they didn't want to steal his head and anger Tian Suo.

Xiao Yi thought to himself: They've all become zombies, yet they're still bound by a hierarchy system. How tragic.

Koji Tadokoro's Eye of God glowed red. It seemed that the Corpse Demon transformation had not affected his use of elemental power. In fact, it seemed to have strengthened the flames, making them even more violent and exaggerated.

The fat man quenched the broadsword with flames, turning it into a blazing fire blade. Even though nothing was burning, foul smoke billowed into the sky, making it seem as if the blade had not only been enchanted with high temperatures but also coated with a deadly poison beforehand.

Of course, the broadsword was not coated with poison; the black miasma was merely a result of evil spirits contaminating it.

"Today I will make you pay for your crimes in blood!" Tadokoro Koji roared angrily.

"Where did the blood come from? I only gave you half a bottle of Splatoon," Xiao Yi said helplessly, his palms beginning to crackle with electricity.

Flames protecting the fat man surrounded him, and Tadokoro Koji twisted his limbs strangely, as if he wanted to smash Xiao Yi and the carriage to pieces.

Xiao Yi has never been a man of martial virtue.

Instead of drawing his sword and enchanting it, his lightning-sparkling hand materialized the lightning element into a spear-like weapon, which he then hurled at the fat man.

boom!!!

After the explosion caused by the dazzling sunlight, a flattened head rolled to Xiao Yi's feet, along with the dimmed Eye of Vulcan.

"Miyamoto Tsubasa, you bastard..." The head was still cursing incessantly.

Like Hua Qiang chopping a melon, Miyamoto Jiro cleaved the fat man's head in two with a single stroke, and the annoying noise stopped completely.

“His precision in power is already better than mine.” Yae no Miko looked at the road, charred but undamaged by lightning. “What an amazing young man.”

Xiao Yi stared at his hand, which was crackling with lightning.

This is the advanced technique Miss Ying mentioned earlier: transforming elemental power into a weapon. In fact, powerful human martial artists can also do this, but because Xiao Yi's power far exceeds his physical capacity, he finds it difficult to use this move.

If you force the release, your body will collapse just like before.

Xiao Yi came up with a clever trick: create a short-lived elemental weapon, throw it, and it would automatically explode after a certain time.

This allows for precise control of elements without the need for continuous injection of elemental power.

Simply put: it's harmless to the body and extremely practical.

He named this move "Thunderbolt Spear Draw"!

It means that the lightning spear was pulled out hastily (if it was pulled out too slowly, it would explode on its own hand).

The skill was something he had just figured out. If he had thought of it earlier, he wouldn't have needed to get off the vehicle to fight. Instead, he could have stood on the roof of the vehicle in place of Sesshomaru and fired like a tank as it moved forward.

The surrounding ghouls were intimidated by this move. After hesitating for a moment, they swarmed towards the carriage. Their lives now depended on the power of the evil spirit, which was controlled by the evil spirit, essentially holding their lifeline in its hands.

If you want evil spirits to die completely, you can do so with just a flick of your finger, and killing the people in the carriage might even save their lives.

Given the choice between a chance of being killed by lightning and a 100% certain death, the zombies naturally chose the former.

"Get in the car, get in quickly!" Xiao Yi shouted.

Xiao Yi thought to himself: Now that I've found a way to clear the road, it's time to break through.

Before the ghouls could fully charge, Xiao Yi and the fox slipped into the carriage. Miyamoto Jiro quickly drew his spear and swung the reins, urging the horses to gallop forward.

Xiao Yi grabbed the edge of the carriage, flipped onto the roof, and threw a lightning spear at the corpse demon blocking the road.

Rumble!!!

Lightning flashed everywhere, and the ghoul was blasted into the sky.

Xiao Yi turned around and aimed at the corpse demons behind him, repeating the same method, launching shells like a bomber. The monsters could not withstand the divine power of the Unspeakable God Child and turned into ashes in large numbers.

At the same time, he deliberately reduced his force so as not to damage the road, ensuring that he could return unimpeded.

The starry sky was obscured by dark clouds, yet the night was constantly illuminated by lightning. This light did not come from the sky, but rather from the ground, a light that purified impurities.

Narutoshi quickly drew his spear.

And so, Xiao Yi stood atop the carriage, having wiped out the last wave of war-mongering remnants, and then looked up at the gloomy sky with endless emotions in his heart.

Fellow soldiers of the expeditionary force, do you see? Our mission is finally complete.

……

A factory that makes tadala sand.

Before the inner furnace of the Shadow Blade, a dark figure stood.

It could synchronize what the ghouls saw with the curse of the evil god, but now, accompanied by flashing purple lightning, the last ghoul's connection was severed.

whoosh—whoosh—whoosh—

Crimson lightning gathered in the demon's hand, transforming into a sharp, demonic blade. It swung the ominous weapon wildly, and after unleashing its power, the weapon disintegrated into lightning and vanished.

The voice beneath the mask remained deep and muffled, yet it did not slow down.

"Why is my brother with them? He's actually helping the Shogunate! What are those three trying to do in Tasuna? Have they already discovered... no, they haven't. Perhaps they can use that Narukami-ko..."

Chong spread his hands and stared at the heart of the Imperial Shadow Furnace.

"Anyway, my plan is about to be realized. It's too late to destroy the Mikage Furnace or repair the Divine Cherry Tree. The evil god will cover Inazuma, and the perfect world will be formed. When that happens, I, who have evolved into the ultimate life form, should be able to regain the power to kill people."

Chapter 69 Chuunibyou Miyamoto Tsubasa

"Big brother, what kind of person is Miyamoto Tsubasa?"

The carriage approached Tasha without encountering any other attacks along the way, and the journey went unexpectedly smoothly.

Xiao Yi suddenly asked this question.

He still couldn't forget the monster who called himself "this humble one," and with the divine child indicating that the real caster was still alive, Xiao Yi couldn't help but suspect that the real Miyamoto Tsubasa was the mastermind behind it all.

Miyamoto Jiro, who was driving, was stunned for a few seconds. He really didn't want to recall anything about Tsubasa, but since he wanted to let go, he had to face his past memories.

Although Yae no Miko was unaware of the reasons behind it, the clever fox could more or less guess something from the fact that Jiro had once brought Tsubasa to the shrine.

The pink-haired fox didn't say anything.

Seeing his elder brother fall silent, Xiao Yi quickly said, "It's okay if you don't want to talk about it."

After confirming that the road ahead was clear, Miyamoto Jiro looked up at the dark sky and slowly recounted his unforgettable past.

"Putting aside her cruel side, Yi's personality, which may be genuine or not, is actually very approachable. She has the air of a tomboyish young girl. She can do all the dirty and hard work during the trip, and she is generous and enjoys communicating with people."

Xiao Yi thought to himself: If this kind of tomboy is good-looking, he is likely to be popular with men.

Because she doesn't have the troubles of most girls, you can have fun with her, but she also has a girl's delicate features and fair skin. It's like finding a good buddy who doesn't have a penis, someone to play with under the bed during the day and in bed at night...

Unfortunately, he's a pervert.

Moreover, Xiao Yi was not there to find a partner. The person his elder brother was talking about might be his mortal enemy. He silently compared the information that Gong Jibenlang had given him with the evil spirit he had seen, trying to analyze whether the two were the same person.

The clues are still too few, and Xiao Yi cannot deduce the truth.

What is certain is that when Miyamoto Jiro threw Miyamoto Tsubasa's body off the cliff, the earth's veins below the cliff were accumulating, and a large amount of evil spirits had accumulated at the bottom of the cliff.

If the evil spirit is indeed Miyamoto Tsubasa, then the reason for his rebirth must be due to contamination.

The evil spirits were never good to begin with, and Miyamoto Tsubasa wasn't exactly mentally sound either. Combining the two was like double pollution, like adding durian to snail rice noodles.

"Could you tell me more?" Xiao Yi asked. "Besides killing others and watching fireworks, what else does she like to do in her spare time?"

Miyamoto Jiro pondered for a moment: "Tsubasa likes to hear me tell stories, so I'll make up stories for her."

Tell a story? Xiao Yi was taken aback.

He recalled seeing "Me, Who Became a Kin of Narukami" and "Miss Hina's Admiration, I Cannot Bear It" at a street stall before, both by the author "Fujiwara Kojiro," which showed that his older brother was indeed talented in this area.

Miyajiro wiped his face and complained, "I should have known better than to write so many fancy stories for Tsubasa. She was young back then, and it's inevitable that she would be influenced by the stories. That's what you young people call... chuunibyou?"

Xiao Yi's intuition told him that this might be the breakthrough point, so he hurriedly urged, "What is her favorite story content or character?"
