Genshin Impact, Teyvat's own beloved immortal.

All I remember is that I was a very strong swordsman, a revered grandmaster.

In my short life, I believe I have mastered the art of swordsmanship to its fullest extent, and I have even founded my own school of swordsmanship, Tengu Shou.

Until I came here... I saw the legendary Wuxiang Yidao that slew the demon serpent.

I was shocked, I was speechless, I was scared.

That is a realm I could never reach in my entire life! Even if I could only glimpse one or two aspects of it, it would already surpass all the profound mysteries of swordsmanship I have ever comprehended in my life.

If I were fifty years younger, I would certainly have had more time to comprehend it, but my lifespan is already nearing its end, and it is a pity that I will never be able to comprehend its mysteries in this lifetime.

If only... if only I had a little more time... I could comprehend that thoughtless strike!

Haha, the world laughs at my foolishness, laughs at my madness, and keeps its distance from me. No one can understand my state of mind. Even if I become a puppet, I will definitely comprehend the Wuxiang Yidao!

In an instant, the world seemed to lose its color, and time seemed to return to the island of Bayun a thousand years ago.

That day, Thor unleashed his strongest strike, slaying the demon god Orobas.

Today, that terrifying pressure has reappeared in the same place.

Rikuo's pupils contracted sharply as he sensed the extraordinary nature of the attack and immediately raised the Shukaku Shield to defend himself.

boom!

A devastating shockwave swept across the entire arena as Wuxiang's sword fell.

The blade cleaved a deep ravine into a small hill behind Lu Sheng.

Although its power was far less terrifying than Thor splitting the entire island in two, it was still quite unbelievable that a broken puppet body could unleash such a powerful strike.

Even the Shukaku Shield suffered heavy damage. Although it was not split in two, it was covered in cracks and collapsed in an instant.

However, Lu Sheng was nowhere to be seen behind that stone shield.

"I accept this strike!"

His voice came from behind the puppet.

This time, the sword demon did not resist, but raised his head and gladly faced death.

Lu Sheng pierced the sword demon's body, and the sword energy tore the talismans on its body into pieces. The sword master, who had been imprisoned in the puppet's body, was finally freed.

"What an exhilarating battle... Thank you... for fulfilling my lifelong wish! Take my power! This is my complete understanding of the Wuxiang Yidao over the past few centuries; I hope it will be of use to you!"

As the Grandmaster's remnant soul passed away, all the elemental power on the Sword Demon was transferred to Lu Sheng. Unlike before, this time the elemental power was also mixed with fragments of battle memories.

Those were the essence of the Grandmaster's battles throughout his life, including the insights he gained from the "Thoughtless Blade" he had developed over the past century while wandering on this deserted island, observing the narrow passage between the blades of thoughtless combat.

Nowadays, the Tengu Chou school has long since disappeared, and Rikuo has become the only inheritor of the school in the vast Inazuma world.

P.S.: I had a low-grade fever yesterday, so I skipped the day.

Inazuma Arc: Chapter 84: Shuten-dōji

rub rub!

An incomparably pure sword intent emanated from Lu Sheng's heart, each move repeating itself before his eyes, dozens, hundreds, thousands of times.

Until all sword techniques become simpler and simpler, returning to their original essence.

Countless movements began to shrink, thousands of moves gradually became only a few hundred, a few dozen, a few moves, until they were integrated into a single move.

That was what the grandmaster of swordsmanship had comprehended over hundreds of years on this island.

It is infinitely close to the ultimate secret of the Wuxiang Yidao!

Lu Sheng felt a surge of sword intent within him, as if he had instantly mastered a divine skill.

Without the slightest hesitation, he drew his sword, cleared his mind, and unleashed a simple and unadorned strike towards the mountain behind him.

boom! ! !

The mountaintop was cleaved in two by the erupting sword energy, creating a terrifying ravine that was even more powerful and terrifying than the damage caused by the sword demon's strike, almost splitting the entire mountaintop in two.

"call--"

Lu Sheng exhaled a breath of stale air and was overjoyed.

He has always felt that something is missing from his skills.

It's the kind of super-powerful move that, once used, can seal the outcome of the game.

Weather forecasts are powerful against groups but weak against individuals, and are limited by the location of use. Shukaku's spear is neither the best nor the worst, and its destructive power is far from meeting the standard of a killing move.

Other skills are too low-level and are just minor tactical maneuvers.

Only this inherited "Unthinking Blade" can fully unleash all the power amplified after his demon transformation, truly delivering the expected performance of a killing move.

"Hey! Immortal Venerable, what are you daydreaming about?! Come and smash this stone!"

The divine child squatted on the Killing Stone, eagerly calling out to Rikuo.

With a single sword strike, Rikuo cleaved the Killing Stone in two.

The god's third tail has also returned.

She happily drew a circle in the air, and at that moment, she finally regained her ability to fly.

Lu Sheng approached and asked, "Where to next?"

"Don't rush, let me calculate it."

The divine child floated in the air, three illusory tails appeared, and he began to perform the ritual.

A moment later, she seemed to sense something and looked south. "Although the feeling is very weak, there must be one at Kannazuka's place as well."

"Kannazuka, is that it? Then let's go quickly."

Lu Sheng suddenly became enthusiastic, picked up the divine child, and flew over on his sword.

The goddess nestled in his arms and began to explain, “Kannazuka was originally a place for forging tamagumo, but not long ago the furnace had a problem, which caused many craftsmen to die in that disaster. Now it has been sealed off by the shogunate and is in a state of disrepair.”

“Abandoned? I see a lot of people working there.”

Looking down from above, Lu Sheng saw many figures moving about in the core of the furnace in the center of the sand, seemingly busy with something.

If this place has been sealed off by the shogunate, are all these people ghosts?

"It really is." The divine child said in a puzzled voice, "What are these people doing? Let's go and see, my tail is there too."

Lu Sheng landed on a hilltop and looked closely toward the core of the furnace. He found that everyone there was indeed working hard, and not a single person was slacking off.

Even more bizarrely, these people were all dressed in the clothes of the Fools.

Lu Sheng quickly discovered why these people dared not slack off.

Several monsters, wielding long whips, roamed around menacingly, and if they found anyone working slowly, they would lash them with their whips without saying a word.

What's this about taming black slaves?

So those fools who were captured were actually sent here to be black slaves?

But what exactly are they producing?

In order to find the answer to this question, Lu Sheng secretly sneaked into the interior of the Tabusha furnace and watched as someone took out many products from the furnace, carefully placed them into wooden boxes, sealed them, and neatly stacked them aside.

After everyone left, Lu Sheng stepped forward and pried open the wooden board. Inside, he found a box full of evil eyes.

"This is?! The Evil Eye!"

The divine child flew out in surprise, looking incredulously at the wooden boxes scattered all over the ground.

"There are thousands upon thousands of evil eyes here! What exactly does Suzuka Gozen want to do?"

Rikuo seemed to have guessed something. He regarded Suzuka Gozen as an extraterrestrial demon, so he had to think about this matter from the perspective of an extraterrestrial demon.

He transmigrated to a backward island nation. Under his diligent governance, the country became increasingly prosperous and powerful. However, an island nation is always an island nation. It is poor in resources and has low land utilization. As the domestic population grows, more and more internal conflicts will erupt.

When internal conflicts accumulate to the point of being out of control, there is only one solution left: to expand outwards.

The Evil Eye can be considered a weapon, an equipment that can enhance the combat power of an army in a short period of time.

Once all domestic threats are quelled, they will inevitably expand outwards, and the closest countries to Inazuma are either Liyue or Mondstadt.

If it were me, I would definitely choose Blitzcrank Mondstadt.

Given Mondstadt's current strength, it's not exactly impregnable, but it's certainly vulnerable.

"Of course, we have to fight a war."

"War? Inazuma is already in this state, and she still wants to fight? Watch me destroy all these evil eyes!"

The divine child activated his magic, using the fox demon's karmic fire to destroy all the evil eyes.

"Gurgle~ This time, that woman is definitely going to be so angry that even her nipples are trembling."

This scoundrel is getting more and more despicable.

However, it's impossible for her not to feel resentful after being put in such a state by Suzuka Gozen, so let her vent her anger.

At this moment, a loud snoring sound suddenly came from the bottom of the sand dune.

Humans absolutely cannot produce this kind of B-like noise.

It must be a monster guarding this place.

"Who goes there? What are you doing here?"

A sharp sound came from behind; it turned out that a patrolling yokai had returned and discovered the suspicious Rikuo.

Then the monster saw the damaged evil eyes all over the ground and was immediately enraged.

"Oh! So you've been breaking in and causing trouble! You're all dead!"

With that, the monster lashed out at Rikuo with its whip.

Lu Sheng raised his hand, grabbed the whip, and pulled the monster close. A palm strike of lightning shattered its head.

However, this commotion had already alerted the other patrolling monsters.

In an instant, the entire Tasha Sand was in complete chaos.

The fools took the opportunity to run away or hide, and the monsters couldn't keep up with both sides, so they had to go and wake up their king first.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Something terrible has happened! Someone has broken in and destroyed more than a dozen boxes of Evil Eyes! All the slaves have run away!"
