Chapter 343 How Many Immortal Techniques Does Liyue Possess?
When Xu Ning rushed to the location where the lightning elemental body disappeared, besides the long sword he had left behind when he recalled his divine soul, he picked up another long sword to use alternately.
Xu Ning then unleashed his Lightning Flash twice more.
Meanwhile, Harunosuke Yugami also noticed the opening in Xu Ning's skill. Whenever Xu Ning summoned his soul after releasing the skill, Harunosuke Yugami would immediately rush to the front, leading the two of them to the front, and then use his "Thunder Strike" to clear the way again.
Meanwhile, Yu Yu Changzheng and the wind elemental being wielding a long spear protected the two on either side, keeping the three of them charging upwards without stopping.
When Xu Ning withdrew his divine soul, which had exhausted its lightning element, he looked at Yuishin Harunosuke, who had rushed in front of him and used talismans to kill the enemy, and laughed: "Your way of using talismans reminds me of a student I taught when I was an instructor in the Thousand Rock Army. His extravagant way of using them is exactly the same as yours."
When Shinobu Kami heard this, he was taken aback and thought to himself, "Does he mean that my strength is about the same as his students'?"
Thinking back to what I said to Mikoto Nagamasa when we set off, "We can't let him outshine us and diminish Inazuma's reputation," I now feel nothing but shame.
After the three got used to the rhythm, they walked faster and faster. When they reached the end of the path and turned the corner, they saw the torii gate halfway up the mountain.
Yu Yu Changzheng looked up and suddenly his face turned deathly pale.
"what is that……"
Xu Ning looked up and saw a huge tiger-shaped demon with three claws gripping the cliff face at the top of the mountain, roaring and slashing at Narukami Shrine. Its snake tail lashed against the cliff face, sending up pieces of rock that fell down.
"That's why I came back... Let's go up first!"
Xu Ning pulled Yu Yuchangzheng aside, dodging a few loose stones, and the three of them ran uphill along the mountain path.
This time, however, was different from fighting enemies on the small road.
The stone steps around the mountain are so narrow that two people cannot even walk side by side.
"I'll lead the way, Nagamasa, you'll cover the rear, Harunosuke, you'll provide support from the center with your spells, and the wind elemental will stand in the void outside the cliff to prevent the monsters from attacking us from above."
After making the arrangements, Xu Ning charged forward, long sword in hand.
The mountainside was almost covered with monsters climbing upwards. Every now and then, a monster would spot the three of them and leap down to attack, but most of them were deflected to the side by the wind elemental with its spear and fell down.
Even those few that are not taken care of will have their forms shattered by Harunosuke's talisman.
Xu Ning thought to himself that his responsibility was to clear the way, and killing the monsters was secondary. If he could simply fling the monsters away like a wind elemental... then it wasn't impossible...
Xu Ning pondered for a moment, then hooked the wine gourd onto his fingers and held a knife in each hand.
The long sword in his left hand exuded the aroma of alcohol. He rubbed his thumb against the hilt, and a flaming sword, burning with alcohol, slashed at the demon in front of him, aiming only to imbue the demon with the flames of alcohol before withdrawing it in a single strike.
Just like the lightning elemental body before, the long sword in his right hand channeled the power of lightning to the blade, striking only the burning demons. When lightning and fire met, the demons screamed in agony as they were blasted out of the mountain path, falling to their deaths at the foot of the mountain amidst the lightning and fire.
"Is this also Liyue Celestial Magic? But how can you specialize in using so many elemental attributes?"
Behind him, Harunosuke Yuugami felt that he could see through Xu Ning more and more.
Although when they met, he noticed that the Eye of God embedded in the gourd in Xu Ning's hand was very strange, it seemed to represent the elemental forces of water and fire.
Even if Xu Ning could use the two completely opposite elemental forces of water and fire to fight off enemies, he wouldn't be this surprised.
However, in that short moment, Xu Ning seemed to have already used the three elements of wind, thunder, and fire to kill the enemy. Even the faint golden barrier around the three of them was probably created by this man.
Xu Ning chuckled. "Do you think I'd go around telling everyone I have several Hearts of God?"
"This can hardly be considered a specialization; it's just a way to imbue weapons with elemental power. In Liyue, there have long been apothecaries who have been able to synthesize various formulas to enable ordinary people who have no elemental power to use elemental power of various attributes."
However, Harunosuke's longing for Liyue grew stronger, and he thought to himself that if he, Inazuma, could master these magical arts, how could he be helpless and waiting to die when demons attacked?
"Almost there..."
Although the once neat torii gates are now in ruins, Xu Ning can still tell from the neat broken pieces on the ground what they used to look like when they were in good order.
Just then, the tiger-shaped monster at the top suddenly let out an abnormal roar. Its claws couldn't even grip the rocks anymore, and it flipped over and fell off the cliff, landing right on the platform in front of the three of them.
Xu Ning touched his brow with his finger, about to summon his lightning elemental body again, when he saw the demon struggle wildly with its four claws, and then it actually rolled over, not even bothering to protect its vital organs.
With a "rip" sound, like tearing gold and ripping silk, a long knife suddenly pierced out of the monster's belly, slicing open its skin. A figure covered in black blood stood up from within, as terrifying as a bloodthirsty demon.
"Ptooey, it stinks!"
The figure that emerged spat fiercely at the enormous figure that was turning into black mist, then looked at the three stunned people.
"Nagamasa? Harunosuke is here too? And you brat, didn't I tell you to run for your life? Why are you back to die again?"
Xu Ning then recognized that the woman who had emerged from the belly of the tiger-shaped demon was none other than the beautiful oni girl, Mikoto Chiyo, whom he had encountered before.
"Mother, how did you get out of its belly..."
Mikoto Chiyo laughed wildly, "Because this is the fastest way. These dogs are big and have thick skin, so it would take a long time to kill one. But it's much easier to kill them once we're inside."
Xu Ning noticed that the black blood on Miyuki Chiyo's body seemed to disappear along with the black mist when the demon turned into black mist and dissipated, but in her eyes, there seemed to be a dark color left behind, accumulating deeper and deeper.
Xu Ning glanced at his wine gourd and thought to himself that since the Great Sage Who Subdued Demons had said that his wine could alleviate the pain of his karmic burdens, perhaps it could also dissolve the evil power of the abyss.
"How is Lord Fox Abbot?"
"How is Lord Zhaigong?"
Xu Ning and Yujin Harunosuke asked the question almost simultaneously.
Mikoto Chiyo reached out and pulled her adopted son into her arms, laughing, "Well, there are three people coming up, two of them are Lord Wensai. Only my good son cares about my safety, right?"
Yu Yuchang was slightly out of breath from being choked by his mother. "Mother... Mother looks very energetic, so they will naturally ask other people..."
"Ha, you silly boy, can't you tell? They're asking about someone else, aren't they?"
