Genshin Impact: The Beginning of the Wind

Although she didn't think Ying would get angry over such a small matter, she really didn't need to gamble, did she? She didn't think she could withstand that terrifying blow.

Anyway, Kage has agreed to introduce her to Inazuma's other Narukami who was recently resurrected. It's impossible that Inazuma's two Narukami don't know anything about them, right?

With this in mind, Ying put the matter aside for the time being—although she still had countless doubts in her mind, she wasn't as anxious about many things as she had been when she had free time before.

Since the situation is now confirmed as empty, a slightly slower travel speed is not a problem.

It was at this moment that Ying suddenly thought of something. Looking at Su Feng and Ying, who were still standing in front of her, she couldn't help but ask, "I recently took on a commission related to Crane Temple. Do you know anything about this mysterious place?"

Crane Gate seems to be a very mysterious place. After receiving the commission to explore this place, Ying has been trying to find some information about Crane Gate, but unfortunately, she has not found anything so far.

Nowadays, very few people even know about this place, and even if they do, they only know the name.

Now that Narukami Inazuma is standing in front of me, he should know something, right?

After all, gods are living histories of various countries, so surely the shadow wouldn't be unaware of its own territory?

"He Guan? That place is indeed very mysterious. Actually, I don't know much about He Guan either."

However, to Ying's surprise, Ying also knew very little about He Guan, which...

Perhaps sensing Ying's confusion, Ying quickly explained the matter.

"Actually, a long time ago, Tsurukan and Seirai Island could not be considered Inazuma's territory, or rather, they could not be considered Narukami's territory."

"Although the Thunderbirds that linger there are not demon gods, they possess power no less than that of demon gods. That is why Shin and I chose to ignore the Thunderbirds that linger in the two places. After all, there is no need to create an overly powerful enemy for ourselves. Moreover, if the Thunderbirds, which have no instinct for love, start targeting Inazuma, even I cannot guarantee the safety of my people."

When Shadow mentioned Thunderbird, he couldn't help but exclaim in admiration. Although Thunderbird was not a demon god, the power it wielded was no joke. Even Shadow, who was the Thunder Demon God, had to admit that he was not confident of victory in a life-or-death struggle.

"So, barring any unforeseen circumstances, Tsurugashi and Seirai Island should still be the Thunderbird's nests? But now these two places have been incorporated into Inazuma... What went wrong after that?"

Ying's words were very clear, so Ying immediately guessed that something must have happened a long time ago.

"Yes, I don't know exactly what happened, but a long time ago, the Thunder Bird, which had been wandering between Tsurukan and Seirai Island, suddenly went mad. Both Tsurukan and Seirai Island were destroyed by its hand. Afterwards, worried that the mad Thunder Bird would endanger Inazuma, I had no choice but to shoot it dead with an arrow when it went mad."

As she said this, a hint of regret flashed in Ying's eyes. For someone like her who loved fighting so much, it was indeed a pity to defeat such a formidable opponent in such a 'dishonorable' way.

However, as the Inazuma Narukami, she had to be responsible for her people, so no matter how much she coveted the Thunder Bird as her opponent, she had no choice but to kill it.

"Wow! There were so many secrets behind this!"

After hearing Shadow's explanation, Paimon couldn't help but sigh. No one had expected that such a past was hidden in this story.

"Yes, so if you're hoping to get information about Tsurukan from me, you'll be disappointed. In fact, the entire Inatsume community has very limited knowledge about Tsurukan."

Ying was quite embarrassed when she said this, after all, in a way, it could be considered as exposing her family's dirty laundry.

"Hmm... well, it seems like everyone has it tough. Managing a country is indeed very troublesome."

Ying didn't care much about such things. Although she didn't get more important information from Ying, it was already quite good that she knew that He Guan was once a territory of a being no less than a demon god.

This means she must be extremely careful on her way to Crane View, otherwise it's not impossible for her to overturn under the remaining power of the Thunderbird.

"If possible, I'd also like to visit Crane Watch. Shadow, would you like to come along? I'm also quite interested in the Thunderbird, which is comparable to a demon god."

Just then, Su Feng suddenly made a suggestion, and upon hearing this, both Ying and Ying couldn't help but focus their attention on him.

"That's not a problem, but do you really have the time? You must be very busy right now, right?"

Ying hesitated after hearing that Su Feng was going to take Ying with him to He Guan. It wasn't that she was afraid of anything else, but she was worried about whether Ying, as the God of Naruto, would have the time.

After all, Inazuma is busy with things everywhere right now, so Narukami should be very busy, right?

"No, actually my sister has already started to take over the entire Inazuma, and after that, I only need to focus on fighting."

"This trip to Heguan will also help to eliminate any potential threats."

However, Ying's answer was unexpected. More importantly, although that's what Ying said, Ying always felt that she could hear a little bit of relaxation in Ying's answer.

It seems that handling government affairs is not Ying's forte?

Ying realized this almost subconsciously, but she kept the thought firmly in her heart.

Furthermore, she showed no resistance to the addition of the Shadow—after all, being Naruto's Shadow offered a solid guarantee, and with Su Feng's words...

The evil god who caused such a big commotion before was dragged out and killed. Now, how much trouble can an island that may be shrouded by the power left behind by the Thunderbird cause?

Ying doesn't think that Inazuma could cause trouble for Su Feng and Ying now. If these two go with her, what other problems could arise?

They slaughtered those three like crazy!

She and Paimon were in charge of the squeaking, while Su Feng and Ying were in charge of the rampage!

Chapter 54 The forces of the Abyss always find a place to join in the grand undertaking.

As it turns out, you should never assume you have the upper hand, or you'll inevitably face a less than pleasant outcome.

Just like Ying, who appeared by the Crane Pavilion now riding on the breeze summoned by Su Feng, discovered that sometimes things really do exceed everyone's expectations - who would have thought that Crane Pavilion, which is considered a remote and desolate place even in Inazuma, would become a base for the forces of the Abyss to gather together!

If she hadn't brought Ying and Su Feng with her this time, she probably would have run right into these guys' faces.

"Hey! These guys are everywhere!"

After landing on the land of Crane View, and seeing the Hilichurls, Beast Hounds, and sneaky Abyss Mages emerging from the small island that extended from it, Luminous felt completely numb—how come these Abyss guys are everywhere? Luminous hasn't found a place without them yet.

But...aren't there a lot more Beast Hounds this time?

Ying, who had already noticed something was amiss, couldn't help but wonder as she watched the large pack of beast-like hounds gradually emerge. However, since she was accompanied by two powerful figures, these small opponents shouldn't be a big problem... right?

Ying, who had originally planned to make some arrogant declarations or provocations against these opponents who she herself would only need enough time to deal with, immediately swallowed back all the words she wanted to say after glancing at Su Feng and Ying beside her, whose brows furrowed almost simultaneously.

Although it's unclear why these two have such expressions, it's obvious that this matter isn't so simple. Or rather, these enemies in front of them are definitely not the most important trouble. Behind these enemies, there must be other opponents or things that make Su Feng and Ying feel troubled.

But... why do I always seem to run into these kinds of things?!

Ying couldn't help but sigh inwardly, then took out her weapon to prepare to deal with the gradually gathering troubles.

After all, the battle must continue no matter what. Now that they've discovered the Abyss is causing trouble here, they can't just turn around and leave as if they didn't see anything.

However, before Ying could make a move, Su Feng took the initiative.

The surging light force rushed out like a tidal wave at this moment. Then, the pure and massive light force, which seemed to be no different from a tsunami at this moment, was blown by the gale summoned by Su Feng and directly turned into a torrential rain that enveloped the entire island. Although he didn't know what those guys in the abyss wanted to do, Su Feng was determined to stop them if they wanted to do it.

However, considering the characteristics of the Abyss power, Su Feng currently has no other way to effectively alleviate the expansion of the Abyss power except to directly release the Light Boundary Power.

Fortunately, the power of the abyss here has not yet grown to the point of being unmanageable. Under the torrential downpour of the light elemental power, the beast hounds and many abyss mages, who were gradually turning the entire island into an abyss entrance, were quickly dealt a heavy blow.

The surging power of the light realm almost instantly pulled the entire island into the realm of sacred land. All the abyssal beings immediately felt as if the ground beneath their feet had been directly replaced by a red-hot iron pot, to the point that they could no longer stand.

"Zizzizi!"

Those fragile beast hounds and Hilichurls were instantly vaporized. Even the Abyss Mage, who reacted quickly and raised his shield, was horrified to find that his shield was being rapidly weakened at a visible speed.

But what's worse is that the excessive light force, combined with the elemental storm that Su Feng stirred up and covered the entire island, decisively shattered all possibilities of teleportation—it wasn't that there was no way to tear open space or teleport directly using the ley lines, but simply that both the surrounding space and the ley lines deep within the earth were now rapidly entering a violent state along with the elemental storm.

In this situation, let alone teleportation, anything even remotely related to these two aspects would be instantly torn to shreds by the terrifying and violent force!

However, Su Feng, who immediately used the power of light to seal off the entire island in conjunction with the storm, did not notice the demons that were almost wiped out by the aftershocks of his power. He and Ying had been watching the huge rift that was being gradually torn open in the very center of the island and the terror and brutality of the abyss emanating from it.

"A creation of gold...that witch is an unimaginable sinner!"

After witnessing the Golden Beast, imbued with immense abyssal power, gradually crowding towards the center of the island while resisting the power of the Light Realm, Shadow rebuked it in an indignant voice. She still remembered the profound disaster that these heartless monsters created by the witch named 'Gold' had brought to the entire Teyvat after being captured by the abyss.

These terrifying, dark monsters once brought Ying unimaginable pain and despair. Watching her people and friends perish caused her to retreat into seclusion for five hundred years. And now, these monsters have reappeared before her...

"Unforgivable!"

Even though he tried his best to suppress his inner rage, Ying still showed signs of losing control at this moment. After Su Feng unleashed his light and storm to seal off the entire island, Ying also drew his former sword, Dream Isshin, from his chest without any hesitation.

"Boom!"

As Dream was extracted from Ying's body, the previously clear sky was quickly and completely shrouded by thick, rolling dark clouds. The bolts of lightning that moved and rolled within the clouds were like silver snakes, displaying their power.

But the scenery in the sky was merely a backdrop to show that Shadow was unleashing his power without reservation. Endless lightning elements, summoned by the highest lightning elemental creature, surged in like a tide and converged on Dream Heart.

With his unparalleled control over lightning, Shadow condensed and compressed endless lightning into Dream Heart. Soon, the dark purple lightning was gradually compressed into a terrifying black shadow that devoured all light.

"Things that shouldn't exist should disappear immediately!"

"No thought, no intention!"

"One strike, and it's over!"

The next moment, the unparalleled and unthinking slash was brought down by the enraged shadow, and as the black light cut straight out, everything along the way froze in an instant.

Even the Golden Beast, which had once been banished from Mondstadt by Su Feng but had regained even greater power from the abyss, froze in place at this moment.

Then, a gentle breeze blew by, and everything that had been still was completely reduced to dust under the inconspicuous breeze.

A single, unexpected strike, terrifying beyond measure.

Chapter 55 Su Feng: I almost forgot I still have pets

When the dust blown up by the wind settles, everything will be over.

Countless abyssal monsters, along with the Golden King Beasts that had been enhanced several levels by the abyss, vanished completely from Teyvat.

The immense power contained in Wuxiang's single strike, enough to dissociate electromagnetic forces at the microscopic level, cleanly and decisively turned them into imperceptible dust. The enormous force also easily reconstructed the Wuxiang Blade Gorge on the ground.

This force is far beyond what a group of demons can withstand—not to mention a group of demons, even a demon god or other worldly rulers would probably be unable to confront it head-on.

"!!!"

Both Ying and Paimon were stunned after seeing this scene.

Now they finally understood that the reason why the people of Haizhi Island could stage such a lively rebellion was because Ying didn't intend to pay attention to them. Otherwise, if Haizhi Island had just done this much, what kind of rebellion could there have been?

Impossible! The gap between the two sides is so large it's unbelievable!

Even Ying began to feel fortunate that the power of Umijima was too weak—in the past she might have been worried because Inazuma had the power to crush the Umijima rebels, but now all she could do was feel fortunate.

What a joke! If Shadow were to think that Umijima is a threat to Inazuma and then do something like that to Umijima, the entire island probably wouldn't be able to exist anymore.

If something like that really happens, then we're completely doomed. What good would it do if people were still alive?

Without even a place to stay, how can they resist Inazuma?

Furthermore, Ying doesn't think Haiqi Island could withstand Ying's attack, but... is this the true power of the mortal realm's rulers? Truly powerful indeed!

Ying was lost in thought after witnessing the true power of the Unthinkable Blade, but neither Su Feng nor Ying were paying attention to what Ying was thinking.

Although Shadow One-Slash decisively annihilated many demons along with the Golden King Beast, the fragile world barrier here still could not be repaired immediately.

Or rather, the fact that this place could be found by the Beast Hounds and chosen as the location for the Golden Lord Beast to break through the world barrier and enter Teyvat already says a lot, not to mention that the barrier here has been severely weakened by the Beast Hounds' attacks.
