Chapter 507: "Heaven-Opening Slash"
"Master, Master God of Cooking?"
Liu Bai looked at General Lei Dian weakly, not understanding why she suddenly became "angry".
"Could it be that this is the puppet general that Shen Zi mentioned? Was it actually the Thunder God himself just now?"
Seeing the sudden change in General Thunder, Paimon, who had already finished eating the falling berries, hid in Clive's arms and spoke in shock.
Yae Shinko had already explained to them in detail the relationship between Shadow and General Raiden.
General Lei Dian didn't waste any words with Liu Bai. Holding Dream in his hand, his aura rose rapidly.
Ever since she lost to Liu Bai last time, she has always wanted to prove herself again.
After that, Ying spent more time outside, giving General Lei Dian a lot of free time. She meditated in the spiritual space to improve her martial arts.
The purpose was to prove one day that Liu Bai's sword might be beyond her reach.
Although General Raiden does not have many emotions, in order to prevent her from deteriorating due to wear and tear, Ying has set up such a character for her. Once she has made up her mind, she will never change it.
“Wow… Such a terrifying aura…”
Paimon, hiding in Klevie's arms, covered his eyes in fear, and Klevie also subconsciously took two steps back.
The momentum of General Lei Dian continued to rise, and his pressure was already higher than that of the Whirlpool Demon who had previously attacked Liyue Harbor. The enormous pressure even caused the entire castle tower to begin to creak like wood, as if it would collapse at any time under the weight.
This is because General Raiden did not intentionally exert his aura on the castle tower, otherwise it would be easy to destroy a wooden building with just his intimidating power.
"The loser of the duel before the Emperor must face punishment, and as the winner, I allow you to leave the castle tower."
General Raiden raised his dream and pointed at Ying and said to her.
She didn't want anyone to disturb her yet another showdown with Liu Bai.
"..."
After hearing what General Lei Dian said, Ying turned around and looked at Liu Bai.
"No... Wuxiang's strike... will cause trouble..."
Ying's heart trembled. Although her anger towards Liu Bai had not yet dissipated, she did not want to watch Liu Bai face Wuxiang's knife head-on.
This made her a little regretful about the duel in front of the emperor that she had just initiated.
'...'
Soon, Ying made a decision in her heart. She gritted her teeth and raised her edgeless sword towards General Lei Dian.
Then, Ying took out a stone with her other hand.
"……Um?"
General Lei Dian was very dissatisfied with Ying's behavior, but the next moment he suddenly found that the surrounding environment had changed, and he suddenly came to a ruin filled with strong winds.
And Ying also came to the vicinity of General Lei Dian.
General Lei Dian did not hesitate and immediately turned around and slashed at Ying with his sword, but Meng Xiang Yi Xin got stuck directly on Ying's shoulder.
Although he didn't swing the sword with all his strength, the power of this blow was enough to leave a mark of more than ten meters on the ground. How could he catch it so easily...
General Lei Dian was somewhat puzzled by the situation before him.
"It's useless. There's no friendly fire in this place. You can't hit me, so you can only hit him."
Ying shrugged, pushed aside Mengxiang Yixin who was on her shoulder, then raised her hand and pointed forward.
General Lei Dian looked in the direction her finger pointed, and saw a man with a bamboo hat on his head and long white hair fluttering in the wind, slowly descending from the air on a flying sword.
Although he looked a little different, General Lei Dian could recognize him. This person was Liu Bai.
"Ok?"
"Okay you little yellow-haired boy, if you can't beat me, ask my parents for help, right?"
Liu Bai was stunned for a moment after seeing General Lei Dian next to Ying, and then spoke to Ying in a bad mood.
Although General Lei Dian didn't know what was going on, since Liu Bai was there, he could just continue with the procedure of the duel in front of the emperor and punish the loser.
So General Lei Dian ignored Ying and rushed towards Liu Bai first.
Liu Bai was not polite either. He took out the Winter Ice Guard to block the attack of General Lei Dian.
"Master Kitchen God, you don't have to worry about damaging the surrounding environment here, you can exert your full strength."
After blocking General Lei Dian's attack, Liu Bai warned her and then pushed her away with force.
General Lei Dian steadied his body in the air and then did not bother to be polite with Liu Bai.
"This body is eternity!"
General Thunder waved his hand in the air, and his attire immediately turned into light purple divine attire. Behind his head hung a halo of triple thunder patterns. Three puppet-jointed arms appeared on the left side, and the middle arm held a purple vajra, while on the right side of the body was an incomparably huge puppet-jointed arm with an evil eye on it, and holding a giant Dream Isshin.
Under her, two hands with puppet joints and evil eyes on the palms were holding her up and floating in mid-air.
"So that's how it is. This place is also a space of consciousness."
After displaying the form of "Evil Shadow Demon", General Raiden realized the nature of this space.
"Wow, Master Kitchen is still as handsome as ever in the second stage!"
This was not the first time Liu Bai had seen General Lei Dian in this form, and he couldn't help but applaud.
Then he didn't hesitate and summoned countless flying swords from behind him, just like when he fought Ying just now.
Without the influence of Luobao Luoluoberry, this time the densely packed flying swords and the strong wind of the entire Wind Dragon Ruins howled in the air, like a black flock of birds circling.
Just like that, General Lei Dian fought with Liu Bai again as he wished. However, for both of them, the ruins of a wind dragon was not enough as a venue. General Lei Dian slashed with his sword, and Liu Bai dodged it easily, leaving a gap on the ground that was almost as narrow as the Wuxiang Blade.
"Just take your time."
While the two were fighting, Ying secretly ran to a safer corner, took out a recliner and some snacks from the Chen Ge pot, and lay down comfortably.
Although the recollection space is not the real space, consumables can be used here, so Ying can eat.
And since this is not the real space, after Ying ate the food here and left, the food was not actually consumed in reality.
So Ying took out all the snacks that Paimon had secretly hidden and ate them without hesitation.
Since General Lei Dian's moves were accompanied by lightning, Ying did not forget to take out a pair of sunglasses and put them on.
"I don't feel any progress from you."
General Lei Dian said as he attacked Liu Bai.
clang--!
"Of course Master Kitchen, because I haven't practiced much."
Liu Bai used his head to hold down the giant Dream Yixin in General Lei Dian's hand, then spread his hands and spoke.
Although the memory space can replicate the strength in reality, in reality, he has been either doing commissions or being intimate with Nashida every day for more than a year, and he has no chance to practice martial arts.
"Then use all your strength and let me see the same move you used last time."
General Lei Dian slowed down his fierce attack and made a request to Liu Bai.
In her opinion, Liu Bai, who did not use that move, was also strong, but not to that extent.
"Okay, okay, since that's what Master Kitchen asked for."
"But please allow me to prepare a little this time."
Hearing General Lei Dian's request, Liu Bai nodded, then flew backwards to avoid General Lei Dian's attack.
Seeing this, General Lei Dian did not chase after him, but instead accumulated more strength to prepare for Liu Bai's move.
"I'm sorry, Master Kitchen God, please defeat me again."
"Apocalypse!"
After retreating to a certain distance, Liu Bai raised the hand that was not holding the sword and shouted.
[Apocalypse Pearl: After using this skill, you can summon the Apocalypse Pearl to enhance combat capabilities within the range of holy light. The extent of the enhancement depends on the user's own physical strength.]
As Liu Bai raised his hand, a sacred bead of light condensed at his fingertips and floated into the air. The slightly dazzling light illuminated the ruins of the wind dragon that had been destroyed and in ruins.
According to Liu Bai's experience playing the game before he crossed over, before the auxiliary character released the [Pearl of Apocalypse] to increase the buff, the players' attacks on the boss were very low, almost like scraping.
But once the [Pearl of Apocalypse] is released, and the boss's mechanism has been changed to enter a defense-breaking state, the boss can be killed directly with a set of skills. Therefore, the increase brought by the Pearl of Apocalypse is at least ten times.
Although the skills rewarded by the system cannot be calculated in this way, the improvement is still very amazing, and Liu Bai also radiates a golden light.
Feeling Liu Bai's rising momentum, General Lei Dian stopped talking nonsense.
"In the end - eternal calamity -!"
The next moment, General Lei Dian disappeared from the spot, and a huge crack like the Eye of Evil was torn open from her original position.
Then, the giant puppet's jointed arm holding a huge blade slowly stretched out from the crack and slashed towards Liu Bai.
"Ugh……"
Liu Bai exhaled and held the Winter Ice Guard in both hands, which emitted a large amount of white light as if it had turned into a lightsaber.
[Ten Thousand Swords: Heaven-shattering Slash: One of the supporting skills for “Selfless Sword Qi”.]
Then, Liu Bai raised the sword with both hands and slashed at Ying who was eating snacks and watching the show in the distance.
"...???"
Ying tilted her head, and was then engulfed by the sword light. The entire remembrance space was also cut in half by the pure white sword energy.
Even though General Lei Dian was not Liu Bai's main target, he was cut in half in the aftermath.
'How can it be……'
General Lei Dian's body was split in half, but he was a demon after all, so he did not die immediately. She tried her best to hold on to Meng Xiang Yi Xin, but found that Meng Xiang Yi Xin had already collapsed.
"Is that so?... Only when one is separated from the earth can one realize how vast the sky is..."
Looking at the entire world around him that was cut apart just like himself, this thought popped into General Raiden's mind before his consciousness faded.
……
Just when Ying pulled General Raiden into the memory space to challenge "Boss Zhou", inside the castle tower.
"Where's the Master Kitchen God? Where's the little yellow-haired boy?"
Liu Bai scratched his head and looked at the only two people left in the castle tower, Klevi and Paimon, in confusion.
Next to them was an unconscious Kujo Sara.
Since the shogunate soldiers outside were knocked unconscious when Kujo Sara arrived, even though there was a lot of noise in the castle tower just now, no one came to confirm the situation.
"Sister Ying seems to have pulled General Lei Dian into the memory space."
Krevy noticed the stone Ying had just taken out and quickly thought of this situation and explained it.
"...?"
Liu Bai tilted his head and didn't understand.
Apparently he had forgotten everything about the Memory Space.
But now Ying and General Lei Dian are both gone, Liu Bai thought about it in his mind.
"It looks like it's almost time for dinner. Do you want to go eat? My girl should have prepared lunch."
Liu Bai proposed to Klevi and Paimon.
"want!"
Hearing that there was food, Paimon responded subconsciously.
But after she answered, she realized something was wrong and quickly covered her mouth.
"No, no, I want to wait for the traveler to come out."
Klevy also shook her head like Paimon.
The purpose of their coming to the castle tower was to ask General Raiden to cancel the Eye Hunting Order, but they haven't done it yet.
"Okay, I'll leave first."
Liu Bai nodded, patted his butt and left.
Klevy and Paimon looked at each other and had no choice but to continue waiting where they were.
After a while, Ying and General Raiden reappeared in the castle tower.
However, Liu Bai didn't know what happened afterwards. He just heard that the rebels seemed to have reached Ming Shen Island. He didn't know what was going on. Maybe a master was secretly helping them.
……
"Come here girl, I'll give you a buff~"
After returning home, Liu Bai couldn't wait to call out to Nashida and took out a strange pill in his hand.
[Supreme Amplification Secret Medicine: After using it, the next amplification will definitely be successful.]
"Okay, but let's eat first. Lunch is ready~"
Nashida, wearing an apron, came out of the kitchen.
"Ok."
Liu Bai had no choice but to put away the secret amplification medicine and have lunch with Nashida.
In the afternoon, Liu Bai started typing at home. Calculating the time, it was almost time to update. He would have to submit the manuscript the next time he returned to Liyue.
Nashida's recent research has been completed, and all the new technologies have been sent back to the country via the earth veins and handed over to the Great Compassion Tree King. So she has a lot of free time today, so she simply lies on Liu Bai's back and watches him busy.
For Liu Bai, Nashida was very light, so it was not a burden at all, and she felt soft and comfortable on his back.
In this way, time quickly passed and it was night. After dinner, it was time to wash up and go to bed. Liu Bai and Nashida returned to the little white house together.
After working together, the two people who had washed themselves were already lying on the bed.
"Girl, it's time to buff you!"
Only then did Liu Bai take out the secret medicine for amplification.
"Hmm, what is this?"
Nashida, wearing pajamas, lay next to Liu Bai, looking curiously at the secret amplification medicine in Liu Bai's hand.
She couldn't tell what it was.
"This is how it should be used. Let me see..."
Liu Bai stretched out his hand and pressed on the secret amplification medicine. The next moment, the pill-shaped secret amplification medicine opened from the middle, and a strange purple light filled the room like fragrance.
[The probability of the next amplification has been increased, and the duration is 30 minutes!]
Then, the system prompt appeared in front of Liu Bai.
Seeing this, Liu Bai immediately took out the disposable amplifier that had not been used before.
[One-time amplifier: After use, you can amplify the target. If the amplification is successful, the attribute will be improved. If the amplification of +12 or above fails, the amplification level will be reduced. The single success rate is 20%. ]
"Amplification!"
[Congratulations to the host for obtaining: +15 Nashida (the font here is cool, shining, ultimate, colorful, mythical, and colorful)]
[Strength +960%, Intelligence +960%, Physical Strength +960%, Spirit +960%]
[Entry level upgrade: "Dream Manifestation LV4↑", now Nashida can create the same things as in the dream, and improve the energy conversion efficiency to a certain extent, currently: 105% energy conversion efficiency]
[New entry is obtained: "Power of Grass". Nashida now has absolute control over all grass elements in Teyvat.]
