"Hello beautiful lady, nice to meet you. I am Wuxiang Zhifeng."
"Formless Wind?" Yura looked at the thing in front of her with a face full of question marks, and just felt that it was very magical.
"Hey, don't listen to him, he's just a scoundrel now." Wu Qiu grabbed the scoundrel and forcefully pushed him back down. No way, how could Wu Qiu tolerate him messing around with his brother's girl in front of him?
Wu Xiang Feng Zai wanted to say something, but Wu Xiang Zhi Lei was already preparing to attack again. So, Yura endured the pain in her body and came to Wu Qiu.
"What are you doing back here? To cause trouble? Honestly, I'll remember this grudge."
After speaking, Yura gestured for Wu Qiu to step back with her eyes. But Wu Qiu did not, and instead reached out and grabbed her wrist.
"Don't touch me!"
Yura was agitated and tried to dodge, but it was too late. Wu Qiu grabbed her wrist, and the purple lightning instantly spread throughout Wu Qiu's body.
Just from that, Wu Qiu felt pain and weakness all over his body, and his internal organs were aching.
Looking up at Yura, Wu Qiu really couldn't imagine what kind of pain she was going through.
"Hold a grudge? Then you'd better come back alive to take your revenge."
Wu Qiu managed a weak smile. He could see that Yura's complexion had improved; clearly, the lightning element in her body had made her feel much better.
"Humph!"
Yura shook off Wu Qiu's hand and spoke again: "You took advantage of me, I'll remember this grudge."
After saying that, she raised her sword and looked at the Lightning of No Form, saying, "Don't die."
Leaving behind a final sentence, Yura charged forward again. She moved with incredible speed, and in the blink of an eye, the two collided once more, lightning striking solid ice, creating streaks of ice and sparks.
Every strike, every sword, every attack was a full-force strike. When Yura was severely injured, the Lightning Hypostasis was also wounded.
However, the injury wasn't serious and wouldn't affect his performance. And of course, Wu Qiu wouldn't just watch them fight.
Seizing the opportunity, Wu Qiu charged forward. There was a reason he made the wolf's "Death's End" move so large. In the game, the core is the weakness; it should be similar here.
If that's the case, then the big knife in my hand has the ability to stab him in and deliver a fatal blow.
Seizing the opportunity, Wu Qiu circled around to the back and unleashed a slash at the Lightning Impermanence. But clearly, the attack wouldn't be so easy to execute; otherwise, Yura wouldn't still be alive and well.
With a loud bang, the attack was blocked by a large sword that had transformed from the stone. Clearly, Wu Qiu was no match for it in terms of strength, so this attack forced him to his knees.
Fortunately, Wu Xiang Feng Zai was helping Wu Qiu. Gusts of wind surged wildly from his left shoulder, greatly reducing the pressure on Wu Qiu.
"Do you think I'd lose to you?"
With a roar, Wuxiang Fengzai increased his power again, actually pushing away the attack of Wuxiang Zhilei.
"Pretty!"
With a shout, Wu Qiu withdrew the wolf's tail and thrust it straight at the core. Success was within reach, and Wu Qiu's heart pounded with excitement.
But at the last moment, the core slightly deviated, successfully dodging the attack. Then, its power exploded, and it violently retreated away from Wu Qiu.
Although he didn't succeed, Wu Qiu was certain that that was his weakness.
"With just one strike, as long as it hits, I can destroy him."
Wu Xiang Feng Zai also spoke up, giving Wu Qiu absolute confidence. But before Wu Qiu could make a move, the Wu Xiang Lei seemed to sense the danger and actually shook off Yura, rushing towards him.
Clearly, Wu Qiu's actions had completely captured his attention. But that wasn't the most important thing. The most important thing was that the guy was brandishing all sorts of weapons—knives, spears, halberds, axes, hooks, and forks—as he charged towards Wu Qiu.
"Holy crap, how the hell am I supposed to fight this?!"
Wu Qiu turned and ran. The stone's ability to change shape instantly was monstrous. It was like having countless monsters wielding various weapons; how could Wu Qiu possibly contend with them with just one weapon?
But it was clearly too late to run, so Wu Qiu steeled himself and decided to fight. But at that very moment, at the most crucial instant, Yura rushed in front of Wu Qiu.
Wu Qiu was taken aback, then reached out to pull her away, "Hey, don't be impulsive! You're doing this now..."
Before Wu Qiu could finish speaking, Yura volunteered to go forward. Looking at the enormous Lightning of No Form, Yura closed her eyes, began to breathe evenly, and at the same time, assumed a non-combat stance.
"Is that... a dance move?"
Wu Qiu was taken aback, and then he saw Yura seemingly dancing. But Wu Qiu didn't feel embarrassed watching her, and as she danced, he seemed to hear some beautiful music.
That was a sound Wu Qiu recognized but couldn't quite place. It was like the sound of the wind blowing through pine trees.
"Wait, the wind blowing through the pine trees? His implication seems to be..."
"The sound of pine trees".
Wu Qiu remembered that Yura's weapon was called "When the Pine Melody Resounds." So, could this be...?
Wu Qiu's eyes widened as he looked at Yura over there, his disbelief growing even stronger.
Yura seemed to have grasped something, or perhaps for some other reason. As she performed her graceful dance, she continuously swung her longsword.
The attack of the formless lightning was fierce, with dozens of weapons constantly slashing at such a speed that Wu Qiu could only see afterimages.
But even under such attacks, Yura, like a flower blooming in a rainstorm, though small as dust, displays her beauty.
As Song Lai's last sound faded, the weapon in Yura's hand suddenly burst forth with light, and one of the weapons of the Lightning of the Impermanence was shattered.
The attack ceased, and the Lightning Impermanence retreated. Yura finally stopped as well, and her eyes, which had been closed, slowly opened.
At this moment, Wu Qiu's investigation revealed...
Name: When the Sound of Pine Trees Resounds
Rank: Four-star two-handed sword
........................
Chapter 124: Heading Back Home
The weapon evolved when the pine breeze sounded. It was the first time Wu Qiu had ever seen a weapon evolve. It was a very shocking first time, because it was really strange.
What exactly did Yura suddenly think of, or rather realize, and what breakthrough did she make that allowed her to achieve this breakthrough at this crucial moment?
Wu Qiu believed that the ability of some weapons to be upgraded was something that only his own detection could accurately reveal, and that it was impossible for others to know so easily.
Judging from Yura's surprised expression and slight confusion when she looked back at the pine-shaped weapon in her hand that rang out, Wu Qiu could tell that Yura was unaware of all this and was clearly curious as to why the weapon in her hand felt so much more powerful.
But now is not the time to look at that. Feeling the weapon's immense power, Yura's gaze towards the Lightning Hypostasis changed.
She raised her hand, then lowered it, unleashing another sword strike. Another clash ensued, but this time the outcome was entirely different. The weapon conjured by the Lightning of the Impermanence was instantly severed and shattered. Yura, like a war goddess, wielded her longsword with graceful movements, elegant yet ruthless.
Finally, after Yura finished her attack, the Lightning Hypostasis was riddled with holes. Of course, this didn't cause him any real damage; it just made him look rather pathetic.
"What are you looking at? Hurry up and get going!"
Wu Xiang Feng Zai slapped Wu Qiu across the face. Only then did Wu Qiu react, grabbing his greatsword and charging forward. Stepping on the already broken boulder, Wu Qiu leaped high into the air.
Of course, as mentioned earlier, Wu Qiu didn't possess any light-body skills and couldn't jump that high. But Wu Xiang Feng Zai gave Wu Qiu a push from below, causing him to soar directly to a height of over ten meters.
"Whoa!!!!!!!!!!"
Amidst screams, Wu Qiu gripped the greatsword, then reversed it and raised it with a backhand grip. He thrust it down in the Noxian guillotine stance.
This time, no surprises occurred. Wu Qiu easily pierced the core with his longsword, even more easily than expected.
But Wu Qiu took a closer look and realized he was wrong. It turned out that Wu Xiang Feng Zai was using wind element to decompose the power of lightning element, gradually erasing Wu Xiang Lei.
This process looks easy, but it is actually very difficult. At least Wu Qiu could tell from the increasingly dim light of the Wuxiang Fengzai that he was fighting desperately.
"Run! Run! This time it's really going to explode!"
Suddenly, Wu Xiang Feng Zai's voice rang out, and then Wu Qiu saw that Wu Xiang Feng Zai had already flown back into his arm and was urging him on.
Wu Qiu was stunned for a moment, then looked ahead and saw that the Formless Lightning was already showing signs of a nuclear explosion. Without hesitation, Wu Qiu turned and ran.
Yura was swaying precariously, her body shaking as if she were too weak to fall. But in that final moment, someone appeared in front of her, scooped her up in a princess carry, and ran off into the distance.
"You! What are you doing! Put me down!"
Yura instinctively tried to resist. Wu Qiu shouted, "Stop talking nonsense! If you don't want to be blown up, behave yourself."
Before Yura could react, a purple light suddenly rose into the sky, and the seemingly tangible energy spread out in all directions.
Yura finally realized what had happened. But she also realized that they couldn't possibly escape the blast radius at their current speed.
Just as Yura was about to struggle down to stop him, she suddenly felt herself being thrown to the ground. Then she saw Wu Qiu turn his head and raise his right hand.
"Fivefold Condensed Flower Shield! Activate it!!!"
A brilliant blue light shone forth, and beams of light continuously overlapped, causing five ice-blue flowers to bloom in the air, forming shields that blocked Wu Qiu's path.
The light obscured everything, and Yura only felt a surge of energy approaching. Already weak, she instantly lost consciousness.
Yura didn't know what happened next, only that in the last moment of her memory, she saw Wu Qiuzhuo's back being submerged, and realized that finally someone was willing to risk their life to save her.
"Thank you."
Her mouth was slightly open, but no sound came out. However, Yura thanked Wu Qiu in her heart. If Wu Qiu could hear it, he would be very surprised, because this sound was different from any other Yura had ever uttered before. Perhaps, that was the truest and deepest part of her heart.
She didn't know how much time had passed—perhaps minutes, hours, or days. When Yura regained consciousness and opened her eyes, she saw blue skies and white clouds.
"Holy crap! That hurts! Don't move!"
"Why are you making such a fuss? As a man, shouldn't you keep all your pain inside?"
It was Wu Qiu and Wu Xiang Feng Zai's voices. After Wu Qiu cried out in pain, Wu Xiang Feng Zai uttered a merciless taunt.
"So you deliberately touched my arm? That's too mean. I'm your master, after all. Even if we're on equal footing, you should at least give me some face."
Wu Qiu's angry yet aggrieved voice rang out. For some reason, Yura smiled when she heard Wu Qiu's voice again.
Sitting up, Yura looked around and realized that they were sitting on a large, blue rock. The rock was being propelled forward by the wind, moving very steadily.
"I'm helping you by riding the wind so you don't have to walk, isn't that a favor? Instead of being grateful, you yell at me. You're truly a vulgar person."
Wu Xiang Feng Zai's complaints rang out, pointing at Wu Qiu for being disloyal. Wu Qiu was furious and was about to retort when he saw You La sit up.
"Hey! Yura, you're awake! How are you feeling? Is anything bothering you?"
Yura shook her head. "So...we've survived?"
"Yes." Wu Qiu nodded, pointing to the shadow of Mondstadt in the distance, and said, "The Thunder Hypostasis is dead. As for us, we're heading back home. This mission is complete, and we'll be in Mondstadt soon."
"Are we almost at Mondstadt?" Yura stood up, looking at Mondstadt in the distance without saying a word. She didn't move or speak, just stood there, looking at Mondstadt in the distance, her eyes revealing longing, yet also confusion.
“Um…” Wu Qiu hesitated for a moment, then finally spoke up: “Yura, do you really not hate Mondstadt?”
Yura shook her head and remained silent. Wu Qiu pressed on, "But you didn't do anything. Those evil deeds were committed by your ancestors and have nothing to do with you."
“I don’t deny the sins of the Lawrence family in the past, but you are different. Everything you have done for Mond should be respected, but all you have received in return is criticism and hatred. Your dignity has been trampled on by others for ridiculous reasons. Is this right?”
