People in Izumo, make Honkai great again

However, Kiana suddenly attacked her and tried to take the knife away by surprise, but Yae Sakura grabbed her attacking hand.

"Why the surprise attack? I have already told you the truth as promised."

She had killed many ghosts and gods, so she would not be unable to react. She just felt that she could not understand.

I have already told Kiana the truth, why did she still attack me?

Doesn't she believe it?

Kiana's other hand continued to strike out towards 'Narakamiya'.

Yae Sakura shook off Kiana's hand, protected her Mingdao and took her attack, feeling a little depressed.

What a lot of strength.

She has killed countless ghosts, and in the process of killing ghosts and gods, she herself has been contaminated by the power of ghosts and gods and became a half-ghost.

On the road to slaying ghosts and gods, there's actually nothing wrong with being a half-ghost. As long as you pay attention to your own pollution and don't degenerate into an irrational ghost, the same moves will be far more powerful than when you were a human.

However, her half-ghost body was actually at a disadvantage when competing with Kiana in strength, which was beyond Yae Sakura's imagination.

"Whether what you said is true or not, I must take Ming Shen back today!"

During the fight with her, Kiana could feel that Yae Sakura was just defending and had no desire to attack her.

Kiana also believed her words, but she had to bring 'Narakamiya' back to Mei today.

"The shrine's current owner is Mei!" Kiana punched Yae Sakura again and said firmly, "If you want to take Narukami away, go to the shrine and talk to Mei openly! Don't take the sword away secretly. Only Mei can decide who owns this sword!"

"you really......"

Yaezakura frowned, she had clearly made her point clear.

"It's not that I don't want to do this, but Mr. Ryoma doesn't want Raiden Mei to know the truth about the world too early."

"If you want to involve Meiyi, explain everything to her as soon as possible!"

Kiana's punches are disorganized, and her basic skills are still learned from Mei. She has no other skills except brute force. After all, she has just passed the period of training the basics, and is still practicing the moves. She has not reached the stage of fighting.

She couldn't gain any advantage against Yaesakura, a swordsman who had experienced hundreds of battles and killed countless ghosts and gods.

"You narrowly escaped death by slaying the evil god, right?"

But Yae Sakura just dodged and didn't fight back, so at first glance, Kiana seemed quite powerful.

"If we don't tell Mei now, do we have to wait until everyone else dies before telling her the news of death?"

Yae Sakura remained silent. She didn't understand but respected Raiden Ryoma's choice.

"Give Narukami back to me!"

"You disappeared without a word to Mei. If you want to take Narukami away, let him come back and get it himself!"

Yae Sakura didn't expect that Kiana's experience in battle would increase so quickly. Just as she was distracted by her words, Kiana's hand grasped the hilt of "Narakamiya" from a tricky angle.

caught!

Kiana was delighted.

"boom--!"

The moment she grabbed the hilt of the knife, Yaesakura finally stopped dodging and took the initiative to attack.

Kiana didn't even see Yaesakura's move, she only felt a sharp pain in the arm that was holding 'Narakamiya', and then the shoulder on the other side was also hit with a dull pain, and the whole person flew backwards.

Yae Sakura stood there unharmed. She sighed as she looked at Kiana, who was pushed away by her palm, and bowed, saying, "I'm sorry. But I can't give you the Mingdao. If I can come back alive, I will apologize to you and to Raiden Mei."

After saying her apology, Yaesakura turned around and prepared to leave.

"Don't leave!"

But Kiana was like an indestructible cockroach, her face was as pale as paper, and she stood up shakily.

In order to completely get rid of Kiana's entanglement, Yae Sakura just used some techniques. It would not cause too much damage, but it would make people feel the pain as if their limbs were broken.

"Leave Mei's Narukami... behind!"

Chapter 6 Yaezakura: If I can come back alive...

Yaezakura's expression was somewhat moved.

"why?"

"What's the reason?"

Her hand hurt so much that it felt like it was about to break, and Kiana's forehead was covered with cold sweat because of the unbearable pain.

But even so, she still did not give up and did not watch Yae Sakura take away 'Naraka'.

"Who is she to you?" Yaezakura couldn't understand her insistence and asked, "Why would you do this for her?"

She paused as she spoke, placed her hand on the 'frost' and pulled out a piece.

A chill spread out from the Yaezakura tree, and the dry grass was instantly covered with a layer of white frost that can only be seen in winter.

Although the Frost Blade has not yet killed Tian Zhidongyi, and has not seized Tian Zhidongyi's power, it is not a true Zhao Blade, but she has killed countless ghosts and gods, and the sword and her body have absorbed the residual power of those ghosts and gods.

"I can kill you at any time."

"I know you won't do that." Kiana shook her head first, then said firmly: "Besides, even if you really want to kill me, I will still stand here to stop you from taking Narukami away! Because, because Mei has been looking for her father's whereabouts."

"...Why would you do this for her?" Yae Sakura was silent for a moment before continuing, "You're putting your life on the table, betting that I'm a good person and won't kill you. You clearly have nothing to do with this matter, and you can still go back and tell Raiden Mei what I told you. It's your freedom."

Raiden Ryoma only told her not to tell Mei the truth, but he didn't say that she couldn't let anyone else tell Mei the truth.

So Yaezakura said it without any burden.

"Because she is very important to me." Kiana took a deep breath and said, "So, I will never let her chance to see her father slip away from me like this!"

Regardless of whether Raiden Ryoma would sacrifice himself in the fight against Takemikaze, she was unwilling to rely on uncertainty about what might happen.

What if Raiden Ryuma really died in the process of defeating Takemikaze God?

Mei... couldn't even see her father for the last time.

How cruel and regretful is this for her who has been searching for her father's whereabouts?

"A very important friend?"

Yaezakura pulled back the Frost Blade, and the ground and hay that were about to freeze stopped changing, but the white frost did not disappear when she retracted the Frost Blade.

She suddenly felt a little envious of Mei Raiden.

Regardless of whether what Raiden Ryoma did was right or wrong, she has a father who bears everything alone, slays demons and protects the world, but hopes that his daughter can live like an ordinary person.

There is also a friend who is not afraid of death in order to fulfill her wish. Even if he is injured, he will not give up the opportunity and stands in front of her, a dangerous person.

"I acknowledge your belief."

Kiana's face lit up and she asked, "Are you going to return Narukami to me?"

Yaezakura shook her head.

No matter what, she would not leave the Mingdao behind, because the expedition against Takemikazuchi was imminent and she had no more time to waste on getting the sword.

Kiana's face darkened, and she said realistically, "Then don't say such misleading things to me. Also, no matter what you say, I will take Narukami back. This is my explanation to Mei!"

If Yaesakura is unwilling and insists on taking Narukami away, then she can only use her trump card.

Izumo is beyond saving anyway.

"Don't worry, I want to tell you that I am willing to convey your and Raiden Mei's thoughts and beliefs to Mr. Ryoma and persuade him to meet with Raiden Mei."

"really?"

Kiana widened her eyes. If that was the case, then it was not impossible.

The possibility of her taking Naruto back from Yae Sakura is still too small. Even if she cheats on the spot, she may not be a match for this woman.

Because it is impossible for the system to give her a large password at the beginning and transform her into a complete form.

And Yaezakura is no ordinary person either.

"I am willing to relay your message and do my best to persuade Mr. Longma and help you change his mind."

Kiana nodded, then remembered something and asked hesitantly, "Mei said her father has been missing for two years. I want to know, why hasn't he come back to see Mei in these two years? Two whole years, more than seven hundred days. Has he never been able to come home to visit in these seven hundred days?"

"Mr. Ryoma has returned to Changkong City." Yaesakura's answer was beyond Kiana's expectations.

"Can......"

"As for the reason for not meeting each other."

Yaezakura hesitated for a moment, then slowly lifted the brim of her hat, revealing her face.

Her long cherry blossom pink hair matched her pretty face, but she had a pair of long fox ears on her head.

"Those who slay demons and gods will be cursed by them. The more demons and gods you slay, the deeper the curse. The cursed body will irreversibly transform into a demon, becoming half-demon, until it completely degenerates into a demon, becoming a monster indistinguishable from the demons and gods we slew."

Yae Sakura's voice was flat when she spoke this, but Kiana could feel the sadness in her voice.

Those who slay demons will eventually become demons themselves.

How ridiculous?

But in order to continue the existence of Izumo and completely eliminate all the ghosts and gods in the world, even if they are destined to fall into the status of ghosts, they will kill as many ghosts and gods as possible that are more harmful before that day comes, so as to contribute more strength to save Izumo.

The gods of Takama-ga-hara come not to rule or plunder, but only to kill.

So the gods of Takamagahara and Izumo...

Only one is destined to survive.

"I'm lucky. I have good resistance to erosion. You can see the parts that have been transformed into ghosts."

Yaezakura covered her ears with her hood again and explained, "Mr. Ryoma showed symptoms of demonization two years ago, but his resistance to the erosion was not as good as mine."

"He came back but didn't see her... He probably didn't want his daughter to see him in his current state."

Seeing that her face looked a little gloomy, Kiana suddenly said, "It's not scary at all, it's very beautiful!"

"...Thanks."

Yae Sakura was slightly stunned when she heard Kiana's praise, then she smiled faintly.

She knew Kiana meant well.

After looking at the white-haired girl for a while, she said in obedience, "I'll take Ming Dao away. I'll help you with what I promised you. If, I mean, after we successfully defeat Takemiya Raijin, I can come back alive... can I be your friend?"

"Of course!" Kiana shuddered upon hearing this and quickly said, "I believe you will come back alive, and you will definitely succeed in defeating Takemiya Raijin! But it's better not to talk about things like setting goals beforehand; it's unlucky!"

Yaezakura didn't quite understand what she was talking about, but thought it was some kind of taboo, so she made a note of it.

"I've got that in mind." Glancing at the horizon, Yae Sakura didn't stop, but said hello to Kiana before disappearing into the forest. "Then let's say goodbye, Kiana. Goodbye."

It is not easy to defeat the gods.

Even if Izumo had successfully killed Tsumutakari and Amejo Rin, that was a victory achieved at the cost of human lives and money, and by using all the conditions available to Izumo.

With the help of the Sword Master recognized by Heaven, the cost of this campaign against Takemiya Thunder God should be less, but the tragedy will definitely not be reduced much.

This was still a war that required all of Izumo's strength, and even she couldn't guarantee that she would come back alive.

Chapter 7: Yae Sakura, right? I'll remember you!

Gone.

Kiana wasn't too worried about dying in the battle against Takemiya Raijin. As one of miHoYo's famous actresses, she wouldn't die at the very beginning even if she was going to die.

"it hurts……"

Both hands hurt terribly.

After Yaezakura left, Kiana, who was trying hard to hold on, wrinkled her face: "This fox is really cruel."

The pain was so severe that I wanted to chop my arm off.

I don’t know how Yaesakura exerted her strength. Not only could she not use any strength at all, but the constant pain was really unbearable for her.

One arm hurt so much that she wanted to cut it off, and the other shoulder hurt so much that Yaesu directly crippled both of her hands.

The attack is really ruthless.

"Brute force alone won't cut it."
