Genshin Impact: A Mortal's Ascension to Godhood

Chapter 21: Demonic Wind, Black Thunder, and Medicine Ghost

Demonic Wind, Black Thunder, Medicine Ghost

Strangely, when the Haiyuan team regrouped and returned to the ambush point along the way they came, they did not see any other pirates. At the same time, Li Tao and others also found that there seemed to be more pirate corpses on the ground.

"The breath of wind elemental power." Wan Ye grabbed a handful of wind elemental power in mid-air, and the tiny bits of wind elemental power were directly caught in his hand. "Someone attacked these pirates, and it was someone who had awakened the Eye of God. But... it shouldn't be from the Marine Aid Team."

"Except for Team Leader Manye, there are no other Wind Element God Eye Awakeners in the Marine Aid Team, right?" Someone asked, "Then who is this unknown Awakener? Why does he want to help us kill the pirates?"

Li Tao joked: "Just think of him as a kind person passing by. Besides, the situation is unclear right now, and we don't know whether he is a friend or foe."

Wan Ye also warned everyone: "Team member Li Tao is right. Instead of waiting for reinforcements that may not exist, it is better to rely on ourselves. Let's go!"

However, when everyone gradually figured out the path in the cave, they found that there were no more pirates ahead, but there were more and more pirate corpses on the ground.

"Hmm...it's still the aura left by that person. Sharp, deep and sharp, much stronger than me."

After checking again, Wan Ye said, "It seems that an unknown strong man really got ahead of us and killed these pirates. We have to thank him for breaking the deadlock for us, otherwise we would still be blocked by these guys on the path in the cave and have difficulty moving forward."

Li Tao noticed something with his sharp eyes: "Captain Wanye, look here. The energy of these pirates seems to be blocked by the wind element. This one is... Wow."

Li Tao, who had just touched the lumps on the corpses with his hands, was almost splashed with the pus gushing out from them.

Someone came forward, observed it for a while and said, "This looks like alchemical fluid. It is the waste liquid that is most easily obtained through alchemical exchange. Did the pirates inject this into the human body? But isn't this thing highly toxic to the human body?"

Wan Ye looked unhappy, and he obviously thought of something bad. Li Tao was thoughtful and guessed, "If the alchemists among the pirates use living people to perform alchemical rituals, can this original liquid be transformed into a strengthening liquid for the human body?"

Everyone looked at each other, not daring to take up the topic.

Seeing this, Li Tao tactfully changed the subject: "Let's go... ok?"

This time, before Wan Ye could say anything, all members of the combat team felt the violent surge of elemental power erupting in front of them.

"Let's hurry up!" This thought immediately popped up in everyone's mind, and they all ran towards the direction of the elemental explosion.

......

Follow this cave trail to the end and you will see a new world. At the end, the view suddenly opens up and a larger cave appears in front of you. Here, the top of the cave is higher and farther away from people, and there are a lot of stalactites growing on the top; there is an underground river flowing underneath, which is full of dark moss with blue light; the surrounding rock walls form a huge circle, and the ground in the middle is very flat and smooth, but the tiny stone pillars and the moss in the gaps still decorate the ground a little.

Some ruins golems blocked the road, but their cores had been destroyed somehow. There were also some traps that had been triggered, and the Kaien-tai combat team didn't have time to take a closer look before passing through them and entering the large cave at the end.

The first thing that caught everyone's eye was a wind hole similar to the one created by Wan Ye's [Luan Lan Bo Zhi] - the wind hole, like a black hole, absorbed the wind in the cave, and also sucked in some of the scattered elemental forces in the air to prevent other elements in the cave from continuing to evaporate and react.

Then, Li Tao saw the back of that person who was not tall but looked extremely reliable.

He has a head of dark blue hair and a tuft of pubic hair on top of his head, and a huge amount of wind elemental power lingers all over his body; he wears a string of white jade beads around his neck, and a tight white vest that highlights his figure on his upper body; he holds a green spear in one hand, and there are green animal patterns on his arm. With the other hand, he controls the elemental power, and the turquoise inlaid on the arm guard is sparkling; there is a purple belt tied around his waist and behind his back, his trousers are tied at the cuffs, and he wears a pair of long boots on his feet.

Although he was facing away and couldn't see his appearance clearly, Li Tao recognized this man's identity almost at a glance: the five-star wind-type Dajiang, the demon-conquering Great Sage, and the guardian Yaksha Xiao!

The reason why Li Tao was able to recognize Xiao so quickly was because his appearance was so outstanding - well, he didn't mean that Xiao was shorter, but that his spear was very conspicuous... Xiao is the only character with a wind-attribute spear, right?

At the same time, the other members of the Kaien Team also recognized Xiao's identity: "That mask... is the Great Sage!" "What, the Immortal is here too? Our chances of winning are even greater!" "We will win!"

No, man! Can you please take a look at the situation on the battlefield before setting the flag?

While complaining about the crowd that suddenly became excited, Li Tao carefully observed the pirates who were fighting with Xiao. There were only three enemies in total, and the other pirates were either dead or fled. This not-so-narrow space had already been devastated and unrecognizable under the bombardment of a large amount of elemental power. Xiao had not yet defeated or killed the opponent, which could only mean one thing: the opponent had the strength to compete with the immortal!

Thinking of this, Li Tao's heart became even heavier. He stared closely at the three pirates who were confronting Xiao, trying to figure out something. But from Li Tao's observation and perception, the three people on the opposite side not only looked ordinary, but also seemed to be far less powerful than Xiao - only one of the three had the Thunder God's Eye, and the other two were just ordinary pirates; two of the three were strong and sturdy, holding long swords, but the other one was neither a God's Blessed One nor had the God's Eye, and was relatively thin, just like an ordinary person.

But it was this strange combination that withstood Xiao's attack. Was Xiao letting the opponent win, or did the opponent have a trump card that was beyond the expectations of the immortal?

The answer to this question is already obvious.

When Xiao saw the Sea Aid Team appear in the cave, his first reaction was not to ask the Sea Aid Team to join the siege of the three pirates, but to order them to retreat: "You, don't come near here! I will take care of these three people!"

After hearing Xiao's order, some people subconsciously followed Xiao's instructions and walked back, but some people were stunned: Why did the immortal ask us to retreat? At this moment of hesitation, the three pirates on the other side also moved - the tall pirate with the Thunder God's Eye raised his long sword towards the Marine Aid Team.

"What... so fast!" Li Tao couldn't see the opponent's spell casting beforehand, he could only realize that a fast and fierce thunder was running through the cave. He subconsciously deployed a shield composed of water elements, but was almost electrocuted by the electric reaction. He had no choice but to retreat quickly. But Li Tao was already a person who made a timely defensive response. Most of the combat team members were hit by lightning before they even reacted, and were temporarily unable to move. The powerful diffusion reaction jumped and surged on people's bodies like a diffuse electromagnetic wave. When they came to their senses, numbness, pain, and burning sensations had already appeared on people's bodies and senses like wildfires burning on the ground.

At the same time, another muscular man with a knife among the three opponents also moved. With a speed no slower than that of an ordinary God's Eye awakener, he silently swung his knife at the closest member of the Kaien Corps. But his knife was immediately blocked by Xiao's spear.

"How could I let you succeed!" Xiao's words were filled with anger. It was hard to imagine what kind of blood and corpses he had seen on these pirates, and what kind of boundless evil he had committed. But the pirates were completely insensitive to the wrath of the immortal, and just stared at everyone greedily and hungrily like hungry wolves in the dark.

The pirate who was fighting against Xiao was quickly forced back by a shot, and the wind elemental force on the tip of Xiao's gun also cut a series of horrifying bloody wounds on his chest. However, the pirate didn't care about it at all, and just wiped the blood on his chest a little, and the wound began to slowly heal.

"What kind of monster is this?" Finally, a member of the Haiyuan Team reacted and shouted in fear and collapse.

Two voices answered his question:

"They are demons. They are the remnants of the demon god, the shadows of the past, and the enemies we must kill. I said, you are no match for me, retreat quickly."

"You are wrong, Great Saint. These are my two most proud creations. In my opinion, their power is close to that of gods. You see, even you can't defeat them easily. Isn't this the greatest compliment to me?"

The first sharp voice belonged to Xiao; and the second greasy and complacent voice belonged to the ordinary pirate hiding behind the two sturdy pirates.

Before Li Tao could observe carefully, he heard Wan Ye beside him whisper: "From his tone, he must be the alchemy master hidden among the pirates."

In other words, those [Baked Jade], [Iron Cannon], [Human Body Refining], and [Human Body Strengthening] were all his masterpieces? Li Tao's heart suddenly ignited with anger - it was this bastard who turned the bandit suppression work that should have been less troublesome into what it is now! In a sense, this guy is really an incredible talent!

So, were the two "works" he mentioned the two pirates who were obviously mentally ill? Could it be that they had lost their self-awareness and were completely controlled by this man? Li Tao guessed.

As for the power close to God... what kind of nonsense is that? Although Xiao couldn't defeat the opponent for a while, Li Tao was more willing to believe that the opponent had some disgusting tricks, rather than that his real strength was close to God.

"An alchemist who manipulates people's hearts... Medicine Ghost." Xiao suddenly called out the nickname of the pirate in front of him in a low voice, "Whether you are hiding among the pirates, using the power of the pirates to plunder the people of Liyue, using human lives to exchange for alchemical strengthening fluid, or stealing the power of the gods and trying to create a false god... These crimes are enough for you to die ten thousand times."

The pirate called "Medicine Ghost" opened his arms, looking crazy: "Haha, what qualifications does Liyue have to judge me? Damn, I have been roaming around Inazuma for years and have never been caught by Lei Shen's bitch and her lackeys. Now you want me to kneel down and surrender just because of an immortal? When I defeat you all, I will use your flesh and blood to nourish my works... Hehe, Great Sage Conquering the Demons, you are an exception. I see that you are small but very strong. How about giving me Shihu Xiangxi to make me feel good? Hahahaha!"

"Disrespect the Immortal Master!!!"

The Great Sage who conquered demons and the guardian Yaksha Xiao were furious. In an instant, Xiao's figure turned into a stream of blue-black light, dragging two wind wheels behind him, and rushed towards the direction of Yao Gui.

At the same time, the medicine ghost drove his two "puppets" forward to fight: "Demon Wind, Black Thunder, go ahead! Capture the immortal and humiliate him severely!"

At the same time, Li Tao and the Haiyuan team temporarily followed Xiao's advice and retreated to the edge of the cave entrance to avoid being affected by the battle between the immortals and the demons. But they also heard the medicine ghost's unscrupulous words, and everyone had a strange look on their faces.

Li Tao even complained in his mind: "Such a lewd villain, how could he appear in the 12+ fairy tale of the Genshin Impact world? It's really unlucky... I can only say that there is a gap between reality and games."

However, on the field, Xiao rode the wind, and his [Wind Wheels] did not stop, like a fast meteor, constantly attacking the "Demon Wind" and "Black Thunder". Although the two pirate puppets kept trying to attack Xiao, they could not catch the immortal who was rushing rapidly in the air, and were instead stabbed by his perfect spearmanship. But they should have also used the special [Alchemical Fluid] made from human bodies, so they could take on Xiao's attacks, and they would recover automatically after a while.

Yao Gui was watching anxiously from behind: "What did you do? How could you be so stupid! Demonic Wind, absorb his elemental power and fight back! Black Thunder, release another powerful lightning strike!"

Just like a trainer commanding Pokémon, under the command of Yaogui, Yaofeng finally used his special ability - he raised his hands, and his palms glowed with a faint blue light, and the wind elemental force surrounding Xiao was quickly absorbed. After these elemental forces briefly circulated in Yaofeng's body, he released them again, turning them into a powerful shock wave flying towards Xiao. At the same time, Heilun also turned into a ruthless discharge machine, mobilizing a large amount of lightning elemental force to form thunder, which combined with the shock wave to form a powerful "lightning whirlwind", and almost instantly arrived in front of Xiao.

No, brother, isn't this the move of Himiko in our Naruto? Soul Release: Hole Sucking Hole and Soul Release: Evil Self-Destruction Battle, is that what it's called? Li Tao complained again.

Because Xiao was wearing his Yaksha mask, and Li Tao and the others were far away, they couldn't see Xiao's expression at all. But when they saw this, everyone in the Haiyuan team immediately became worried - could the immortal block such a powerful attack?

Xiao showed with his actions: Maybe he couldn't block it, but he didn't need to. He lowered his head slightly, as if he was silently reciting a mantra, and then he disappeared from the spot as if he had transformed into a wind element. The violent wind and thunder attack only landed in the air, shaking the entire cave for several seconds.

Seeing this, Wan Ye exclaimed in a low voice: "What a fast elemental charging... Is this the method used by the immortals?"

No, that should be Xiao's constellation. Li Tao narrowed his eyes. During the time when Xiao was chanting the spell, he clearly saw that a star lit up above Xiao's head, and next to the star was the constellation's gaze - Void Tribulation·Void Flower Blooming Transformation.

Hmm... Is this a golden finger? Li Tao was a little amused.

But in any case, Xiao's idea of ​​evading attacks by elementalization is completely correct. He used the same idea to attack Yaofeng and Heilun in succession. It can only be said that Xiao is indeed experienced in combat. A talented alchemist and his puppets cannot stop the attack of the immortal.

However, Li Tao soon discovered that this drug addict was even more talented than he had imagined...
