Chapter 342 Sky Tribulation and Thunder Flash
Upon hearing Xu Ning's words, Shinobu Shinobu couldn't help but be taken aback.
As a native of Inatsume, he was very familiar with both this side of the desolate sea and the Shadow Mountain.
However, Xu Ning, whom I had never heard of before in Inazuma, seemed to be more familiar with this place than I was.
At least I don't know where there are any other paths around here.
Only Harunosuke and Mikoto Nagamasa exchanged a glance, both seeing the surprise in each other's eyes.
"Let's go, I'll lead the way."
Xu Ning ran quickly along the beach toward the direction from which the sound of the waterfall could be heard.
Harunosuke Yukami smiled at Mikoto Nagamasa and said, "Although I don't know where he came from, he seems to be a very reliable person. We can't let Inazuma's reputation be overshadowed by him."
The Imperial Carriage Commander, holding the long sword at his waist, nodded earnestly. "Let's catch up quickly."
The three of them quickly ran to the bottom of the waterfall.
Without stopping, Xu Ning leaped over the river flowing towards the sea and charged straight toward the low cliff face in front of him.
As they approached the cliff face, Xu Ning pressed down on his shoulder, and the Wings of Wind on his back suddenly unfolded.
A gust of wind then flapped his wings, and Xu Ning, like a fluttering bird, spun in the air and landed on the cliff face.
However, Harunosuke Kamiya laughed and said, "This kind of ingenious device is quite convenient..."
Before the words were finished, the roars and howls of a demon suddenly echoed from the cliff face.
However, Harunosuke's expression changed. "This is bad."
The two rushed across the river, but Kami Harunosuke pulled a paper figure from his pocket, tossed it aside, and shouted, "Go!"
The paper figure flew rapidly towards the top of the cliff. When it reached the top of the cliff, the paper figure suddenly expanded. With a "poof", the figure of Shinnosuke appeared out of the paper figure.
Mikoto Nagamasa tapped his feet on the cliff face, arriving a little slower than Yuugami Harunosuke. When he reached the top, he saw Xu Ning standing there leisurely, drinking his wine, while Yuugami Harunosuke stood solemnly to the side.
Seeing that the two were moving quite fast, Xu Ning nodded and said, "From here to the front of Yingxiang Mountain, there are demons everywhere. We should keep going up the mountain and not get entangled in battles along the way."
Xu Ning turned and ran towards the narrow path between the cliffs, and the two quickly followed.
“Two,” Harunosuke Yuugami said softly.
Mikoto Nagamasa understood what Yuishin Harunosuke meant. Just a moment ago, when the two of them went up the cliff, two beast-type hunting dogs died at Xu Ning's hands.
While he could handle two monsters on his own, he was no match for Harunosuke in terms of annihilating them in an instant.
However, at this moment, the stronger Xu Ning is, the better. Yu Yu Chang Zheng composed himself, placed his hand on the hilt of the sword at his waist, and the roars of the wolf pack from the Beast Realm were already clearly audible. He could not afford to have any wild thoughts now.
Xu Ning had no time to worry about the little schemes of the two people behind him; all he wanted to do was get to the mountain as quickly as possible.
I slept for a whole night in the underground of the desolate sea. Thinking about the hundreds of golden king beasts that came from Inazuma City when I left, as well as the dozens of terrifying monsters with tiger heads and snake tails, they are probably already at the foot of the mountain!
As soon as you emerge from this side of the cliff, you can see countless densely packed beast-like hunting dogs swarming up the mountain from all directions. The soldiers guarding the foot of the mountain can hardly find any intact corpses, and the air is filled with black mist mixed with the stench of blood.
Some of the beast hounds spotted Xu Ning and his companions, howled, and pounced on them.
"These beasts!"
However, with a gloomy face, Shinobu Kagami held a talisman between the index and middle fingers of both hands and instantly formed a hand seal.
"Lightning Strike!"
The two talismans, like two lightning arrows, landed among the crowded beast hounds, instantly exploding into two large bursts of lightning.
Any demon caught in the lightning was inevitably turned into black mist and vanished.
While Yuko no Nagamasa did not possess such powerful magic, his advantage lay in the rain of sword light, dense and continuous. Each strike was either a decapitation or a seppuku, all aimed at the vital points of these demons, making the harvest extremely efficient.
Xu Ning was relieved to see that the two of them didn't need her care.
With a flick of his fingers between his brows, two divine souls separated. One attached itself to the wind elemental body in the Dust-Hidden Cave, while the other communicated with the Heart of the Thunder God and instantly transformed into a thunder elemental body. They then appeared simultaneously beside Xu Ning.
However, Harunosuke immediately noticed, "This is... a shikigami?"
Xu Ning multitasked, controlling his wind elemental body to pick up a spear left behind by a fallen soldier, and then having his lightning elemental body pull out a longsword left behind by a warrior.
A simple command was given to the wind elemental body, and a fierce wind surged around it. Its entire body suddenly rose into the air like a celestial master, and then it plunged down upside down.
"Void Calamity!"
The spear pierced the back of the Beast Hound, and the cross-shaped blade cleaved the entire monster in half at the waist, turning it into a cloud of black mist.
Almost before the monster beneath the spear had died, the wind elemental body rose into the air again and thrust down once more.
The simple, repetitive thrusting motion is monotonous and offers no solution.
If the way the wind elemental was used to kill him was already surprising enough, the destructive power of the lightning elemental was even greater.
After obtaining the knife, the lightning elemental body adjusted its posture, facing the path in front of it, and bent its knees.
The lightning on the lightning elemental body had spread to the entire blade. Xu Ning recalled the lightning general's thoughtless strike in the consciousness space.
"Lightning Flash!"
A flash of purple light disappeared in an instant, like a bolt of lightning suddenly appearing in the rainy night. The entire lightning elemental body directly incorporated all the lightning in its body into this one strike.
A vacuum was drawn dozens of meters ahead of the path, and it seemed that the monster that was killed had vanished before the black mist even had a chance to appear.
"Come on!"
Xu Ning called out to the two of them and quickly rushed forward during the gap, while also recalling his divine soul, which had exhausted its lightning element, back into the cave to replenish it.
"What was that just now...?"
However, Shinnosuke was still holding a talisman and following behind Xu Ning, not yet recovered from the lightning strike.
Xu Ning didn't know how to explain his skill to him, so he thought for a moment and said, "It's a kind of Celestial Art from Liyue. It's roughly like combining your lightning magic with his swordsmanship. Unfortunately, I haven't mastered it well enough; I only have the power for one strike..."
Yui Harunosuke followed behind Xu Ning, muttering, "Liyue's Sage Art is terrifyingly powerful..."
Xu Ning's lips curled into a smirk as he thought to himself, "Could this kid's interest in Liyue Immortal Arts have originated from me? Tsk tsk, who knows..."
"But when this kid arrived in Liyue, I wonder who he learned immortal techniques from. Logically speaking, immortals aren't that generous; they wouldn't pass on their immortal arts to someone from a foreign land. They're even reluctant to pass them on to their own people..."
Xu Ning suddenly remembered how this guy later turned the entire Wubaizang clan into stone statues, and then suddenly thought of Li Yue alone. He couldn't help but gasp.
It shouldn't be... right?
