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

Bang bang bang!!

The second wave of artillery fire began.

The evil spirit paid no heed to the weak's stubborn resistance. Even though the lightning elemental projectiles could arrive faster than its breath attack, it could not interrupt its continued charging up.

However, Chong keenly noticed that the cannon fired one more shot than before...

From afar came Xiao Yi's loud shout, not a cry of pain at the destruction of the city, but an excited celebration of the impending victory.

"Godfather, kill him!!!"

To the surprise of the evil spirit, a secondary coffin was found mixed in with the lightning elemental cannonball, its runes gleaming with heavenly light.

Chapter 84 A Tribute to the Glorious Narukami

Just before the crimson lightning breath was unleashed, several lightning elemental projectiles struck the giant serpent, causing a dazzling explosion and shockwave.

This did not stop the demon from destroying the city; however, what flew at high speed was not only cannonballs, but also a coffin containing the "holy remains" of General Thunder.

Rumble!!!

The most dazzling thunder of the day descended from the sky, shattering the coffin atop the giant serpent's head, and the majestic figure of the god hovered above the city.

At the same time, the scars left on the sky by Thor's "death" suddenly disappeared, and the pitch-black sky seemed as if nothing had happened.

In reality, this is a combination of runes on the surface of the coffin and the fox's "makeup."

The makeup that Yae no Miko used to paint the shadow was not just to cover up the cracks and appease the crowd; the pigments she used were specially treated and were extremely high-grade ritual materials.

As Thor lay down in the coffin, a spell was activated, projecting a large, illusory hole in mid-air that echoed with heavenly light. This was a projection of the concept of a god, and it was impossible to detect anything without getting close and observing.

As for Xiao Yi piercing her chest, it was also a performance of tacit cooperation between the two. The Fangtian Halberd is a weapon constructed from pure elements, which can change at will according to the master's wishes. As the Shadow of the Thunder God, he is also very proficient in shaping the thunder element.

Xiao Yi was able to come up with this plan because when Ying taught him the skills, he had a wild idea that Ying could pull out eighteen kinds of weapons from his chest.

In fact, Thor can indeed do it.

Therefore, the actual situation of Thor's assassination attempt was that the moment Xiao Yi's halberd tip touched Ying's back, it directly caused the part that could have caused the injury to disappear. Ying then condensed and shaped the sharp point from her chest, giving onlookers the illusion that she had been pierced.

The fundamental purpose of these actions was to create the illusion that the Thunder God was dead, and that he needed to worry about no one except Xiao Yi, thus allowing Wu Xiang Yi Dao to unleash its full potential.

The plan proved to be quite successful.

The giant serpent's jaws were aimed at the city, but before it could unleash its energy, a shadow suddenly appeared directly above it, a truly unexpected attack.

The monster's vitals have been exposed to Thor, exposed to Wuxiang's single strike.

Within Inazuma Castle, both the monsters attacking the city and the human heroes defending it were drawn to the god's heroic figure.

Those who understood Xiao Yi's plan felt a sense of relief and joy; those who were unaware of Xiao Yi's plan and thought he was a traitor felt guilty and excited about the return of the God of Thunder.

As for the demons, they were simply terrified by the god's brilliance and stood still, not daring to move.

The shadow hovered above the giant snake's head, its eyes radiating a brilliant purple light, extremely powerful and bursting with unreserved killing intent.

Rumble!!!

Lightning surged into the sky, and from the light on the goddess's chest, an exquisite and magnificent weapon slowly rose. She grasped the hilt of the sword of her dream and drew out the divine weapon surging with energy.

The giant snake quickly twisted its head to change its target, unleashing a burst of dense, crimson energy powerful enough to destroy a city, almost completely engulfing the lightning-filled movie floating in mid-air.

however……

"This is the moment of annihilation!"

The blade of light pierced the night sky, illuminating the entire Narukami Island, dispelling the filthy mist, and with overwhelming force, it broke through the giant serpent's breath, slashing towards the junction of its head and body.

This is the glory of the gods.

Boom—

As the residual power of the lightning slowly dissipated, the giant serpent's massive body lost its strength and crashed heavily onto the ground just a hundred meters from the city, raising a spectacular cloud of dust.

Exhausted from purifying the pollution, Ying fell downwards, but a giant fox caught her mid-air and landed her smoothly in front of the castle tower.

"Divine Child, I've finally beaten you this time," Shadow said weakly with a smile. "Under normal circumstances, you would never willingly let me ride you..."

The pink fox said helplessly, "Since things have come to this, I'll just give in to you this time, this is the only time."

Upon discovering that the culprit had fallen to the ground, the warriors of the entire city raised their arms in cheers, for most of the miasma had been dispersed by the thunder god's strike, and the monsters, no longer frenzied, scattered and fled.

In an instant, cheers filled Inazuma Castle. This was the joy of surviving the disaster and the celebration of General Raiden's "resurrection".

Suddenly, a deafening commotion interrupted the cheers.

The giant serpent actually raised its head again. The wound on its neck flashed with dazzling lightning. Its huge head was almost detached, but a crimson energy maintained the connection.

It opened its mouth again, preparing to unleash its last energy, taking the city as its burial offering.

At the critical moment, a bolt of lightning struck the giant snake's neck. Xiao Yi, who was hidden within the lightning, gripped his halberd tightly and pierced the crimson energy connecting the wound, attempting to break the connection and separate the giant snake's body from its head.

Two opposing energies erupted instantly at the snake's neck, with intense electric currents spreading continuously, but confined to a certain atmosphere, without damaging nearby city facilities.

Despite the dazzling light, the warriors still managed to see Xiao Yi deep within the lightning.

"It's Lord Narukami!"

"Lord Narukami, keep up the good work!"

"Kill that monster!"

"Please, please protect Inazuma!"

"Charge! Destroy it!"

In front of the shelter.

Looking up at the bright light hundreds of meters away, Ayaka Kamisato prayed softly, "My adopted son, Inazuma's future depends on you. You must defeat the demon!"

Ayato Kamisato stroked his chin, thinking: What a reckless and eccentric character, Narukami-sama, you've already shown us enough of the unbelievable...

Near the main gun command post.

Kujo Sara gazed at the brilliant lightning and said with deep reverence, "The Way of the Constant is magnificent, and the God of Naruto is eternal."

Araki Ichito was caught up in the spotlight-like atmosphere: "This guy's pretty good. I hate to admit it, but I'm impressed by him once again!"

The top of the castle tower.

"Goro, do you know what I'm thinking?" Coral Palace Heart Sea's expression was complicated.

"I don't know," Goro guessed. "Is Lord Sango remarking on Narukami's strength?"

“No, I’m glad, glad that he’s a rational person and not Inazuma’s enemy.” Shinkai replied with a complicated expression, “If he and the villain inside Orochi had switched identities, his daring courage and his cunning wisdom would have become a disaster for this country.”

Everyone was filled with mixed emotions, but Xiao Yi, who was in the center of attention, had no time to think about anything. He released all the power he could, prepared to go all in, determined to plunge the halberd into the giant snake and sever its fragile neck.

buzzing-

A sudden burst of restless, crimson energy engulfed everything in Xiao Yi's sight. Nothing remained before him except for the interplay of purple and red light.

In the end, all things returned to darkness and silence.

……

Xiao Yi opened his eyes again and found himself surrounded by darkness, but it was by no means quiet.

Painful screams echoed in his ears. He stared intently and could see many white shadows appearing in the distance, only to disappear into the darkness shortly afterward.

Xiao Yi shook his head quickly.

No, this awful feeling is very familiar, constantly eroding my spirit, as if I were trapped in a highly concentrated, pitch-black liquid.

So that's how it is! This is the interior of the evil spirit's contaminant!

"Disgusting, like the black mud of the Holy Grail..." Xiao Yi thought to himself.

The evil spirit once said that the souls of those killed by it would merge with the evil spirit. So the occasional white phantom that floats around is the victim who died tragically at its hands.

He tried to unleash his lightning elemental power to break through the corruption of the evil god and enter the outside world, only to find that he could do nothing, as if he had lost all his abilities. Moreover, the physical damage caused by overuse of his power was completely restored.

What about the system menu?

"Yo! Welcome to my world, the great hero who saved Inazuma—you failed."

Just as Xiao Yi was about to summon the system menu, a clear female voice from behind interrupted him. Turning around, he saw a spirited black-haired girl standing there.

The girl's dark eyes held a hint of mockery, as if she were laughing at Xiao Yi's incompetence. The slight upturn of her lips, a half-smile, further confirmed this.

Although she wasn't wearing an obsidian mask, her tattered clothes and her familiar yet somewhat unfamiliar appearance were enough to prove the girl's identity.

"Miyamoto Tsubasa!" Xiao Yi instinctively clenched his fist.

Ignoring the other person's behavior, Miyamoto Tsubasa spread his arms and began to slowly explain the situation.

“If you don’t cut off my neck, the serpent’s body will collapse after it releases its breath to destroy Inazuma Castle, and I will perish as well. But your arrival has given me a chance to live. I quickly convert the energy of my breath, pulling your soul into the evil spirit like a vortex.”

"It won't be long before the vengeful spirit fills your body, and I can then take over that body and start killing again! As for you, stay here and live with the dead warriors!"

Xiao Yi clenched his fist and strode towards Miyamoto Tsubasa, who looked at him with disdain.

"It's useless, it's useless. Here you are just a spiritual being, you can't use any of your powers. You can only watch helplessly as I take over..."

Bang!

A heavy punch landed squarely on the black-haired girl's face, almost knocking her to the ground. Xiao Yi stood there, his expression one of extreme anger, after finishing his punch.

He gritted his teeth and said, "It seems I'm not powerless after all. As long as I beat you to a pulp before you take over my body, everything will be over."

He walked step by step toward the girl lying down. Suddenly, Miyamoto Tsubasa sprang up and punched Xiao Yi in the face, making him stagger back two steps.

"How could I not have thought of that? It would be much easier to destroy your soul and take over your body here beforehand! If you want to fight, then bring it on!"

After a round of back-and-forth exchanges, cracks appeared on both of their faces, perhaps a sign that their souls had been damaged.

The two stepped closer to each other, and when they were about the same distance, they threw punches swiftly.

Bang bang!!!

The loud thud of fists colliding with faces rang out almost simultaneously. Xiao Yi and Miyamoto Yi both stepped back, then steadied themselves and threw a second punch forward.

Then came the third punch!

The fourth punch!!

The fifth punch!!!
