Genshin Impact: A Mortal's Ascension to Godhood

There was no time to wait, the battle was imminent. Even though their retreat was cut off and the three were forced to fight the manta rays on the sea, they did not lose their determination and will to resist... because this was the determination that humans were born with, to fight against heaven and earth.

"grumble!--"

The manta ray seemed to have smelled the smell of blood. It screamed excitedly and fanatically and pounced towards the crowd.

Of course, what greeted it were the swords of Li Tao and Chongyun!

Adventurers and exorcists are experienced and will not be afraid of such attacks. Chongyun only needs to block the manta ray's fin with the tip of the sword, and Li Tao can stab it diagonally with a sharp blade formed by water elements, and crush the manta ray's skin.

But that was all. The moment the long sword pierced into the enemy's flesh, Li Tao felt an extremely sluggish feel - it was just like cutting rubber, the blade was stuck in the flesh and couldn't move forward at all.

Li Tao had to increase his strength, using the sword as the center of gravity. He rose from the ground, flipped sideways and turned, and the sword blade also twisted along the way. Only then did he struggle to pull his sword out of the manta ray's body.

This is really a blood cow! Li Tao couldn't help but sigh in his heart. It has thick skin and strong recovery ability, and its body is so tight as if it has been tempered by thousands of hammers. If this is made into a dish, wouldn't it taste like chewing cowhide?

The manta ray that was held back by Li Tao and Chongyun also swung its body vigorously, creating waves. Chongyun had to concentrate on condensing the ice element to reinforce the ice under his feet, and then he swung his sword horizontally and slashed hard to force the manta ray back.

The manta ray flipped twice in the air and was about to regroup and pounce again when Xiangling, who had been ignored by it, took action.

"No matter what, I am also the holder of the Fire God's Eye! Don't look down on me, you bastard!"

Xiangling swung the spear in her hand, and the fire elemental power on her side suddenly increased! The gathering of a large amount of fire elemental power caused a raging fire on the spear, and the temperature suddenly increased. Xiangling used her superb spear skills and the skill of controlling the temperature to keep the essence of the fire elemental power on the spear body, and then she jumped up from the spot, turned over and threw out the solid fire wheel spear!

Boom boom boom boom!

The fire wheel gun flew away with amazing momentum and temperature, and in the blink of an eye it was in front of the manta ray. It felt the energy contained in this attack, and of course it was terrified, and hurriedly summoned a large number of water elements from under its body to resist the fire element damage of the fire wheel gun.

But it had to take the damage from the rotation! The phantoms of the fire wheel gun kept passing by, leaving countless arc-shaped wounds on the manta ray's body.

At the same time, even though it could summon water elements, in the environment of Chongyun [Chonghua Dieshuang], the large amount of ice elemental power still delayed its timing to use water elements to heal itself, causing smoky and fiery burn marks to continue to appear near its wounds.

It hurts, it hurts so much! The manta ray wailed again. The constantly spinning fire wheel gun caused great damage to it. It had no choice but to retreat - but once it retreated, the three people would catch its weakness!

"Damn it, where's the momentum you had when you attacked us in the beginning? You bully the weak and fear the strong, come and die! [Wuji Zhenchan], plus [Liu Shui Tang Shen], Liu Shui Blade Slash!"

“How can I let you get away? Take another one of my moves! [Spiritual Blade: Clouds Open and Stars Fall]!”

"Okay, let's do it too! Guoba, breathe fire!"

The first one to rush forward was Chongyun. Because he was also responsible for condensing the ice under Li Tao and Xiangling's feet, he rushed to the front without hesitation.

Chongyun put the sword on his back and formed seals with his hands. Then the sword shook the heaven and earth, and frost and ice appeared. The ice element gathered into an illusory yet real sword, which appeared in the air and quickly fell on the sea near the manta ray, exploding one after another.

"As ordered!"

Chongyun just shouted, and the spreading ice element once again exerted its power, speeding up the freezing process. At the same time, a spirit blade floated out from the ice, following the manta ray like a shadow, and stabbed its dorsal fin with another sword.

The manta ray didn't even have time to scream before it saw Li Tao's sword flying towards it across the frost area.

[Wuji Zhenchan]——Extremely compressed water elemental power is no longer a good medicine for it to be used for treatment, but a sword blade coated with a deadly poison!

As the water element turned into a knife, a sword, and a short spike, destroying its body tissues at an astonishing speed in just a few seconds, it could no longer even keep floating.

The manta ray wailed and rolled onto the ice formed by the heavy clouds. At this moment, it was still struggling to break through the blockade of the ice and return to the bottom of the sea.

But the three of them had already made up their minds to kill it, so how could they let it go?

Without even a moment's sympathy for the manta's plight, the one who immediately rushed to the battlefield was: the Stove Demon God Guoba!

Suddenly, a huge fireball with a diameter of more than ten meters spurted out from Guoba's teddy bear-like mouth, directly covering the entire manta ray. The manta ray's last effort to summon the water element was unsuccessful. In the last moments of its life, it vaguely saw a big pot stewing itself...

Manta, out!

After Guoba finished spitting fire, Xiangling was afraid that it was not dead yet, so she rushed forward and shot it in the head. After confirming that it was really dead, the three of them finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, although this manta ray has the strength of an elite monster, it certainly can't withstand the beating of three people. The reason why it can cause so much trouble to Li Tao and the other two is because this is the sea, its home turf. It just stirs up the wind and waves a little, and the boat is gone. Everyone has no choice but to fight it under unfavorable conditions.

Moreover, if it weren't for Chongyun this time, Li Tao would have to fight it under the sea. In that case, the situation would be even worse, because it could mobilize the water elemental power in the sea to heal itself at any time, and in that case, it would become a long tug-of-war.

However, now there is a new problem facing the three of them: the boat is gone, how to return to Liyue?

"When we were chatting before, we always said that ice elemental power can be used to condense ice to cross the sea... Well, this time we really have to try to condense ice to cross the sea." Li Tao looked at Chongyun expressionlessly and said, "Brother Chongyun, please. (No mercy)"

Chongyun responded with a puzzled expression that said, "You're making me laugh." "No, Brother Li, do you really want to condense ice to cross the sea? I'm afraid I'll be exhausted and drowned halfway through because I can't condense elemental power!"

Li Tao touched his chin and said, "I think we can still solve this problem. You see, I can swim. If you can't walk for a while, I will take you to swim for a while..."

Xiangling also joined in the complaints: "Isn't our situation a little too tragic? Why have we been reduced to the point where we have to walk back to Liyue from the sea?"

"What else can I do? Hey, there seems to be a boat over there! Hey!!!"

When the three of them finally changed their luck and caught the manta ray in revenge and rubbed it onto other people's fishing boats, Li Tao almost burst into tears: God, this trip to the sea was really more frightening than surprising...
