The Embers of King's Teyvat Journey

Flames boiled within the embers, and the sound of burning firewood began to rise.

When the fire reaches its loudest point, it will signify the rebirth of a world. Thus, Ember repeated this twice.

Of course, it's just a small fire right now.

"Hoo—" Yu Jin exhaled, black smoke mixed with sparks gushing out from the gaps in his helmet.

[Draw your sword, Chihaya Kaede!!!]

Didn't you say there are always creatures on earth who dare to face the might of thunder? Move!!!

Feng's body trembled uncontrollably, and his once bright eyes were now bloodshot.

"maple!!!"

"Draw your sword!"

The voices of Wan Ye and Yu Jin suddenly reached Feng's ears, bypassing the tinnitus.

Seniors, and dear friends!

His trembling hands suddenly became steady. He had told these two people about his wish, and now the opportunity to fulfill it was right in front of him!

A dazzling purple light flickered through Feng's disheveled hair, but it was far too weak compared to the light from General Lei Dian's blade.

Then, an even smaller blade of light flashed from Feng's waist.

Then, Feng saw the new path of a martial artist beyond the abyss cleaved by Wuxiang's single slash!

Chapter 41 The Ultimate in Martial Arts

2023-08-28

"Click!" A barely perceptible sound of drawing the sword rang out as Feng drew his sword against the surging lightning elemental force.

The elemental energy surrounding Feng seemed to solidify into a tangible form, moving like sharp blades.

"Ouch!" Countless tiny wounds began to appear on his body, hands, and face, from which blood seeped out.

However, before they could flow, they rose and evaporated due to the immense elemental force.

"Hahaha!" Feng felt the taste of blood filling his mouth and nasal cavity, but he felt no regret or pain.

Facing the unexpected blow, the exhilaration of fulfilling one's wish far outweighs the agony of being torn apart a thousand times!

[What? I can't see clearly? Am I going to die?] Everything in Feng's eyes slowed down, and crimson filled everything.

Is this what they call a revolving lantern?

Suddenly, a flash of silver light appeared!

The dazzling yet not sharp blade light pierced through the crimson, something even the unimaginable lightning could not accomplish.

"Clang—" The ear-piercing collision sound instantly pulled Feng back from the brink of death.

All the pressure, all the pain, vanished!

“Senior…?” Feng was somewhat incredulous when he saw Yu Jin standing in front of him, because Yu Jin had already changed his appearance, but Feng still recognized him.

"Kid, just you wait!" Ember turned to look at the astonished Thunder General.

"Sizzle—, Boom!" The power of the fire was transmitted to the broken katana, and the already scratched blade began to melt, as if it would break apart at any moment.

A small ray of light and heat emanated from the blade, bringing endless warmth to Feng, smoothing away all her wounds and relieving all her fatigue.

"What is the ultimate level of martial arts?!"

With a loud shout, Yu Jin exerted force with both hands.

Iai, slash horizontally!

"Boom!" Thunder always comes with dark clouds, but the sun's glory always arrives on schedule after the darkness!

The dark clouds dissipated, and a faint light spread across the ground.

In the training ground, the lightning vanished like bubbles, scattering across the ground. Only the stunned Thunder General and the still-sharp Ember remained in their sword-drawing stance.

"Kid, is your senior's skill up to par?" He stood up, sheathed his sword, and patted his head in one smooth motion.

Looking at Yu Jin, who wasn't much taller than him but was still stubbornly patting his head, Feng said with a trembling voice, "Senior, what... what is that?"

"Iaijutsu? Isn't it a must-learn skill for you samurai?" Yu Jin withdrew his hand from Feng's head and said with a smile.

"Iaijutsu? How is that possible!" Feng's pupils shrank to the size of pinholes as he looked around.

Everyone was shocked. The general, the priest, the three commissioners... This was no dream. Iaijutsu could block Musou's sword!

"Hehe, chat with your friend. Next, it'll be a sparring match between the old folks." Yu Jin looked at Feng, whose lips were moving but who couldn't say anything, and pushed him out of the training ground.

"Was that really a Iaijutsu?" General Raiden stared intently at Ember, for besides Eternity, she also craved martial arts.

“That’s right.” Yu Jin nodded. What he just did was indeed Iaijutsu, and the power of fire only enhanced his power to the same level as the Thunder General just now.

“If I could, I wouldn’t want to fight the General.” Yu Jin looked at the woman in front of him and found her extremely troublesome, much more so than Wendy.

"Do you think it's possible?" General Thunder held his katana and looked at Ember.

The doll has developed new desires.

"Really? This is... troublesome." Only now did Ember realize how much he hated fighting.

His heart sank into the darkest abyss, where there was violence, cruelty, indifference... all the darkness he brought from two worlds, some from others, and some from his own.

Sin never truly disappears; once it has happened, it has happened. Those who seek redemption believe they have attained purity, unaware that someone else bears the burden of everything.

Not long ago, he had also incorporated his own skills in killing into it, because he felt they were somewhat useless here.

"It hurts." Yu Jin opened his eyes again, his heart filled with endless brutality, and with it, he saw everything.

How will General Thunder strike? What will her next move be? How much stamina does she have left?

He, who had fought to the death for thousands of years, told him all of this now.

"Hurry up, I feel terrible." Yu Jin forced a smile. Had he ever been in so much pain before?

I could have endured the darkness if I had never seen the light.

Unfortunately, this statement had no effect on the embers.

Ember is an undead, he can't die. But every time he's killed, he forgets something; he was once killed and turned into a zombie.

It's the kind of living corpse that only has instincts and nothing else.

In his daze, he met Solar, his sun.

My first sight is of light, so I can no longer bear to see darkness!

"Boom!" General Thunder stepped out, just as Ember had thought.

"Haha, very good footwork." Considering General Thunder's identity, Ember only thought to herself.

【But don’t you think your steps are a bit too big?】Ember also stepped forward to meet him, but his steps were close and continuous, making General Thunder’s figure a little unsteady.

However, due to Ember's deliberate concealment, it was impossible for either of them to tell who had won or lost.

When Yu Jin arrived in Inazuma, he broke two rules: he smuggled himself in and he disrupted the duel in front of the emperor.

He was a man of principle. Since General Lei Dian liked martial arts, he would give him some pointers as a way of making up for it.

"Clang!" The two did not use any divine power; they were simply competing in martial arts.

After separating again, General Thunder rushed back quickly. However, this time, her steps were much more measured.

[Very talented, but this time it's a problem with the way you draw your sword.] Ember saw General Thunder swing his sword, and he slightly angled his blade to meet it.

With a soft "whoosh," the two swords separated at an unusually large angle.

Why is it unreasonable? Because Ember deliberately cooperated in order to preserve the dignity of General Thunder.

He could see that Inazuma's worship of General Raiden bordered on obsession, and that directly undermining his authority would likely cause serious problems.

[Your skill is so high that you seem to be neglecting your technique. You can make more changes, like I do.]

Ember swung his sword, and General Thunder understood immediately, mimicking Ember's earlier move to meet the attack.

As expected, Yu Jin felt a strong force coming from the blade, and his hand was thrown back at a large angle.

Yu Jin nodded. He's talented; he learns quickly.

[Your attack power, timing, and speed are near perfect. However, there's one thing I need to mention.]

Ember paused for a moment, then preemptively met General Thunder's attack, as if he could see into the future.

Although he can actually see it.

Your mind is too calm; everything seems preordained. A true master, once they figure out your routine, can do the same as me.

Upon hearing Ember's words, General Thunder showed no unusual change and continued to swing his sword.

She hoped that Ember could skip this topic.

Yu Jin shook his head, jumped, raised his sword, and prepared to strike.

An extremely heavy aura began to accumulate. At this moment, Yu Jin seemed to have infinite power within his body, and the blade carried the weight of an entire world!

[Your thoughtless strike is your pride; my move, the One-Word Slash, is also my pride. If you want to watch, pay attention. I probably won't be able to perform like this again.]

Ember said something, then stepped forward and swung his sword!

"Thud—" The katana flashing with purple light pierced through Yu Jin's chest in an instant.

Ember's hands were still poised to swing. He looked down and saw that General Thunder, no, it should be Thunder Movie, was radiating boundless power.

He saw the power of the gods in this world.

"Senior!" Feng cried out in worry when he saw that Yu Jin had just been fighting fiercely with General Lei Dian, but in just a moment he was in dire straits.

"Run!!!" The moment the embers were pierced, he knew he was no match for Lei Yingdian, at least not in a normal state.

So he immediately reverted to his unreliable self, and with the large hole in his chest, he carried Feng and Wanye on either side and fled far away.

"Put them on the wanted list!" Lei Yingdong watched them flee, but did not bend down to give chase; he simply gave the order.

"Yes!"

The purple light in the doll's eyes faded, and the general regained control of the body, staring silently at the spot where the embers had left.
