Chapter 273 Copying Xu Ning's Trio
"If you ever decide to commit suicide, please make sure you do it alone and never drag anyone else down with you!"
Xu Ning disliked this priestess from the Fox Palace at all. Sensing the hostility in her words, he couldn't help but retort.
"you……"
Ah Xiang's eyes widened, and he reached for the large bow behind him.
With a smile, Hu Zhaigong reached out and pressed her shoulder. Ah Xiang stopped talking and stood angrily behind Hu Zhaigong.
Xu Ning pressed his hands against his chest, wanting to jump out and return to Ah Xiang's bedroom, and asked Hu Zhaigong the same question Ah Xiang had asked him.
Why should I have them all?
With his hands tucked into his sleeves, Fox Prince stood at the edge of Narukami Shrine, gazing into the dark mist in the distance.
"Because at this critical juncture in time, it seems that only you can find a glimmer of hope in the boundless black fog, so please go back to your Liyue. Please take these three little ones with you as well, as we owe you a favor and hope to have the opportunity to repay you in the future."
Xu Ning paused for a few seconds before saying, "You saw it yourself just now; my wine seems to be the bane of these monsters. Perhaps I should stay..."
Fox Palace smiled and pointed a finger out of its sleeve towards Inazuma Castle.
"Does the nemesis you mentioned include it?"
Xu Ning followed the finger of the Fox Palace and saw that from the black mist rolling in from Inazuma City, countless beast-realm hunting dogs were clearing the way, while hundreds of golden king beasts were flying behind them.
Behind the Golden King Beast were dozens of enormous, monstrous creatures with tiger heads and snake tails.
"First the dog, then the wolf, then the tiger, and finally Dulin... Gold, you really know how to organize your thoughts very clearly..."
Xu Ning cursed Rheindorf in his heart, then turned to Fox Palace and advised, "I don't think we can beat them at all. Why don't you call Mikoto Chiyo and we go together? Inazuma is powerless to turn the tide, and we don't know when Raijin will be back."
As the saying goes, "Where there's life, there's hope..."
Xu Ning looked into Hu Zhaigong's eyes and slowly shut his mouth.
Xu Ning saw no trace of cowardice or hesitation in those eyes, but rather a calm and resolute one.
Fox Palace smiled faintly and said, "No, I promised them I would protect Narukami Island. I can't just desert in the face of battle."
Fox Palace reached out and patted the head of the pink fox on Xu Ning's shoulder.
He whispered, "Follow the young man. Maybe when you return to Inazuma, you can sit in my seat at Narukami Shrine. There will be lots of fun things to do there, and endless fried tofu!"
As Xu Ning listened to the little fox's reluctant murmurs in his ear and watched the approaching dark army, he thought to himself that rather than dying in vain, it would be better to do something more meaningful.
Xu Ning clasped his hands in a fist salute and said, "Since you have made up your mind, then I will take my leave. I hope you can hold on for a few more days. Even if Thor doesn't come, I will definitely invite a celestial being from Liyue to help you. Please don't give up hope."
Fox Palace nodded, and with his left hand, he gently tapped the pipe on the barrier, opening a round hole.
"Head north from here, cross the desolate sea, and you'll reach the coast. You should be able to find a boat on the mudflats, and continue north to resupply on Blade Link Island..."
Xu Ning waved his hand and said, "It might not be that complicated."
After saying that, Xu Ning walked to the main gate of the shrine, slapped his hand on the flower bud-shaped stone pillar, and activated the teleportation anchor point.
I sensed it in my mind, and everything was pitch black.
Xu Ning walked back to the Fox Palace and sighed, "This time, I really have to take my leave."
He took out the ornate comb from his bosom, removed the slip of paper tucked between its teeth, and placed it in Fox Palace's hand.
"I thought I could salvage those lost dreams by coming here, but I never expected to leave with such regrets. I hope we can meet again someday."
Xu Ning put the comb back in his pocket, resolutely jumped out of the round hole, and used the protruding layers of rocks on the cliff to jump down.
Fox Palace tapped the barrier lightly with his pipe, saying, "What an interesting child to carry my comb with him!"
Xu Ning didn't dare to directly unfold his Wind Wings and fly towards the desolate sea, after all, many of those beast-like wolves could fly.
With these monsters everywhere, exposing yourself in the air is like setting up a slow-moving target for the enemy.
The main goal now is to escape, so Xu Ning tries to slide down the wall without revealing his identity.
"We're all in this together now, whether we live or die."
Xu Ning let the nimble little fox nestle on his head, placed the quiet bed on his left shoulder, and Master Ji squatted on his right shoulder.
"Hold on tight, everyone. The Xu Ning is about to set sail. This is a life-or-death battle. We'll fight tooth and nail from the moment we land. So, everyone, don't hold back, show us what you've got!"
Master Ji had recovered from his grief. Upon hearing Xu Ning's words, he took the leaf off his head and tossed it to the right.
With a "bang," smoke burst open, and Xu Ning, wielding a long spear shaped like an Inazuma, suddenly appeared.
"Oh, is it an illusion? Not bad. Although this posture is the same as those soldiers of the Shogunate, those monsters that attack on instinct cannot recognize it. This greatly increases our chances of survival."
Hearing Xu Ning's praise, the eight-fold little fox above his head narrowed its eyes disdainfully, opened its mouth and spat out a bolt of lightning that exploded to Xu Ning's left, revealing another illusory form of Xu Ning.
However, this phantom was holding an Inatsuma longsword, and its standing posture was exactly the same as that of Mikoto Chiyo, who was fighting above.
"Oh, another illusion, that's great! I'm increasingly convinced that we can break through the encirclement of these monsters."
Xu Ning turned to the saddle on his left shoulder and asked, "I wonder what kind of surprise the saddle will bring us this time?"
Qinzi perched on Xu Ning's left shoulder, tilted its cat head and thought for a moment, then stuck out its thin, cool cat tongue and licked the edge of Xu Ning's left ear.
Xu Ning shuddered and quickly reached out a finger to turn the cat's head to the side.
"Ahem, that's pretty impressive. We'll use it once we've settled down. Alright, let's get started."
Xu Ning flipped off the rock, landing with a thud that knocked a hunting dog that was lingering at the foot of the mountain to the ground.
As the aroma of alcohol wafted through the air, the Beast Hound's body melted and disintegrated rapidly, like ice and snow meeting the sun.
This attack was like stirring up a hornet's nest. In an instant, all the beast-realm monsters at the foot of the mountain saw Xu Ning's clone trio and howled as they pounced on them.
