Chapter Seventy-Six: Let's Go
By the time Ying and Shinhe rushed from Kamisato Yashiki to the statue of the Thousand Hands and Hundred Eyes at the bottom of the castle tower, Thoma had already been escorted there.
This is the first time that the eye-hunting ceremony has been performed in public in front of the people of Inazuma Castle, and it was performed by Raiden Shogun himself.
The voices of the people are more than the original invitation to the immortal ceremony. There was not much sympathy in the eyes of the onlookers, and most of them were in the mood to watch the lively melon-eating ceremony to enjoy this eye-hunting ceremony, and even some schadenfreude.
After all, an item like the Vision of God has nothing to do with 99% of ordinary people, not to mention that it was a foreigner who was hunted this time.
If it weren't for the fact that Thoma had been living in Inazuma for a few years, I'm afraid most people would have had a fun look on their faces.
Compared with the lockdown order that really affects the lives of ordinary people, the eye hunting order does not get the empathy of most ordinary people.
Ying and Shenhe struggled to squeeze in. Thoma, with his hands tied behind his back, was already kneeling in front of the statue of a thousand hands and a hundred eyes.
Ying looked under the statue of a thousand hands and hundreds of eyes. Standing on the high platform and looking down on all beings is none other than Inazuma's god, Raiden Shogun.
It's not her... Ying could tell at a glance that the braided Raiden Shogun was not the god who had dispersed him and his brother in the first place.
However, Ying, who has already seen the air, at least knows that her brother is safe, is not too disappointed in her heart.
It's just that... When Ying looked at the statue of a thousand hands and hundreds of eyes, a sharp and noisy noise came from her ears.
The noise was unpleasant, and a tingling pain came from Ying's brain, covering her head.
"Are you alright?" Shenhe noticed Ying's abnormality and hurriedly held her shoulder.
"It's okay... There seems to be some strange sound..."Ying shook her head, quickly concentrating and observing the surrounding situation in order to quickly escape after rescuing Thoma.
Raiden Shogun also seemed to sense that there was something abnormal about the Vision of God on the Hundred Hands Hundred Eyes Statue, and looked up at the Vision, but found nothing.
Raiden Shogun didn't care about this subtle anomaly, noon had arrived, and it was time to perform today's eye-hunting ritual.
Today's eye-hunting ceremony was undertaken by the head of the Kujo family, Kujo Takayuki, who wrote a letter to promote oneself. Kujo Takayuki wrote in an official document: Although the foreigner who committed the murder against the shogunate army has not been caught for the time being, Toma, a retainer of the Kamisato family who has been involved in the murderer, cannot escape the blame.
Nowadays, the implementation of the Eye Hunting Decree has won the hearts of the people in the Inazuma area, and the number of crimes against the ban by the private sector has been greatly reduced.
It coincided with the fact that the Visions of God were inlaid with ninety-nine Visions of God, and a foreigner with the Vision of God committed atrocities in Inazuma.
It is better to take the vision of the god of the Kamisato family to show the people the success of the eye hunting order in stages, and at the same time, the identity of the foreigner of the Thoma family can also warn the rest of the thugs who have the vision of the god in the territory of Inazuma.
Kill two birds with one stone, up and down with one heart, majestic in the world, and the god of narration is eternal. Kujo Takayuki's suggestion was deeply appreciated by Raiden Shogun, and he immediately decided to hold this public eye-hunting ceremony.
Especially after knowing that Thoma, who was related to the criminal this time, was a foreign man with blonde hair. It can be said that Thoma is full of debuffs this time.
As for the purpose of Kujo filial piety, it couldn't be simpler. Since Thoma can't find any information that can be used against the Kamisato family, he simply takes Thoma's Vision away in order to reduce the Kamisato family's growing power recently.
As for what fugitives, Kujo Takayo doesn't care. Before Ying could think of any good way, the Raiden Shogun on the high platform had already stretched out his palm towards Thoma.
The three-bar pattern symbolizing eternity appeared in the palm of the Raiden Shogun, and the lightning elements that shimmered with purple fluorescence converged, and then the Raiden Shogun held the void, and the Vision of God on Thoma's waist who was kneeling in front of the statue of a thousand hands and hundreds of eyes by the shogunate army flew towards the Raiden Shogun's hand.
Worst. Once Thoma's Vision is in the hands of Raiden Shogun, the chances of regaining it are even slimmer.
There was no time for Ying to think of a complete strategy, so Ying jumped down with the wind under her feet, intercepted the Vision of God in mid-air, and looked up at the Raiden Shogun standing on the high platform.
Raiden General looked at Ying's appearance and immediately remembered Anping, and the expression on his face changed slightly.
The same without the Vision... The same can drive the elemental forces... And a similar face... Is it a coincidence?
Still is... The shogunate soldiers who were guarding Thoma immediately raised their spears and rushed towards Ying, but they were swept away by Shenhe's shot.
More shogunate troops poured in, but no one could break through Shenhe's defenses under the shield of Shenhe's spear.
Ying hurriedly rushed over to cut the rope that tied Toma, when a thunderbolt suddenly shot out, and Ying cracked his sword and looked in the direction of Raiden Shogun.
"You don't need a Vision to power elemental forces... You're a lot like someone I've ever metβ" Raiden Shogun stepped on the void, walking towards them step by step as if he were descending a staircase.
The person Raiden Shogun said should be the one he was referring to... Ying looked at Raiden Shogun who was walking down step by step with a grim face.
She had already learned from Ayaka's mouth that Anpei was Raiden Shogun's favorite or something, and it was all rumors.
Not only is he not a darling, but Anhei has fought with Raiden Shogun twice in Inazuma Castle, and even the second time he was able to escape from Raiden Shogun's hands by directly threatening the entire Inazuma Castle.
So Ying didn't feel any glad that Raiden Shogun said that she felt like Anhei.
I'm afraid it's only going to make Raiden Shogun even more disgusted... Ying felt that her trip to Inazuma could be regarded as being miserable by Anping.
Raiden Shogun stepped to the ground, only glow in his eyes. The shogunate army, which was rushing towards Shenhe one after another, saw Raiden Shogun personally responding to the battle, and hurriedly dragged all the wounded on the ground back to avoid being accidentally injured by Raiden Shogun.
Ying and Shenhe looked at Raiden Shogun with solemn faces. The quick-witted Paimon takes advantage of the fact that no one is paying attention and flies to Thoma's side to help untie the rope.
"You're all exceptions... Exception... An eternal enemy! I've already let one go, but you, I won't let it go again. As soon as Raiden Shogun's words fell, his hands were folded to his chest, and the thunder elements in the field were agitated in an instant, and the vast thunder elements gathered in the palm of the Raiden General, and the electric arc of this field rushed and shot out, and the thunder splashed everywhere.
Ying and Shenhe hurriedly picked up their spears and swords to break through the thunderbolts formed by the escaping thunder elements that were rushing towards them.
The thunder elemental converged in the palm of the Raiden General, and neither Ying nor Shenhe knew what the General was going to do. If that level of elemental concentration is released, I'm afraid that none of the civilians here will want to survive.
Until the light in the ravine in the general's chest gradually emerged, a sword gradually appeared, and the blade gradually rose.
Raiden Shogun grabbed the hilt of the sword and pulled it upward, the dazzling light in Ying's eyes flashed, and he saw that Raiden Shogun holding a thunderous sword was already standing in the air.
The thunder light on the blade dissipated, and the vast thunder element gradually converged behind the general, forming an aura with a three-bar pattern that symbolized eternity.
"I'll put you in the idol!" Raiden Shogun, who was holding a sword, slashed down, and the surrounding space seemed to be shattered under the sword light.
The deep darkness devoured towards Ying, who had not yet reacted, and Yingying tried to escape, but it was too late.
"Ahh
Here it is... The pitch-black ground turned into a stone platform in the blink of an eye, and huge dilapidated torii gates rose from the ground.
Ying turned her head to look, and Lei Ying, who was sitting in the void, opened her eyes.
"Since it's someone who looks so much like that guy... Then I'll have to confirm it myself..."What's going on?
The Raiden Shogun in front of him, and the Raiden Shogun just now... It doesn't seem to be the same person... Ying felt very strange.
But seeing Raiden Shogun dragging the naginata towards her, Ying could only lift the sword to meet her.
"Ying... Why is it gone?! Seeing Ying disappear in front of him, Paimon panicked.
Shenhe's eyes were awe-inspiring and he looked at Raiden General. She sensed that Ying must have been locked in an isolated space by Raiden Shogun.
So just defeat Raiden Shogun... You will definitely be able to rescue Ying. The once young Shenhe dared to face evil with only a knife.
So even if it's a god. Today's Shenhe also dares to raise a gun to meet it.
"Follow the law!" Shenhe summoned the Ice Golem and struck at the Raiden Shogun on the left and right.
"It seems that you are the prisoner who attacked the shogunate army...", only now did he notice that Shenhe's general didn't even have a trace of fluctuation in his eyes in the face of Shenhe's left and right attacks, and he easily defused Shenhe's offensive with his dream in hand.
In the face of the existence of General Raiden, Shenhe was still a little immature, and after a few rounds of fighting, Shenhe's moves were completely seen through by the general.
Soon the ice puppet was slashed by Raiden Shogun, and Shenhe was also slashed to the ground by the general, and the cherry blossoms that fell with blood stained.
"Shenhe!" Paimon tries to help Shenhe up. But with Shenhe's landing, the Pure Land of One Heart was also retracted, and Ying, who was unconscious and lying on the ground, appeared on the field.
"Ying!" Paimon was in a dilemma for a moment. However, seeing that the general took the lead towards Ying with a knife, Paimon could only hurriedly fly over and shake Ying's body on the ground.
"Ying... Wake up... Wake up..."Paimon shook Ying's body nervously, but when he looked up and saw that Raiden Shogun had already walked in front of them and raised the sword in his hand, Paimon was suddenly scared into tears.
"Ying... Wake up..."Seeing that Raiden Shogun's sword was about to fall, Paimon could only close his eyes and stop in front of Ying.
At this critical juncture, Paimon's head flashed through An Ping's appearance.
"Anping! Help me! Raiden Shogun's sword was about to fall on top of Paimon's head and slash her with Ying, when a deafening beast roar suddenly sounded in the sky, and then a black lightning bolt streaked through, creating a figure in front of the general and Paimon.
"Paimon... Take Ying and Shenhe to Pippi's head..."Anping said to Paimon with a trembling voice as he struggled to carry the dream that had been cut off from the general's hands.
"Anping! You're finally back! Wow! Looking at Anping's back, Paimon, who thought he and Ying were going to die together, burst into tears.
"Good... Don't cry yet... Take them to Pippi's head first..."Anping, who held the sword condensed by the power of the abyss, wrestled with the general while comforting Paimon.
"Pippi... Who is Pippi? Paimon wiped away his tears, then heard a burst of exclamation from the melon-eating crowd around him, and looked up to see the golden king beast with the head of a wolf and a snake body descending from the sky.
"There are monsters!" Paimon exclaimed again.
"That's Pipsqueak! Hurry up and move Ying and Shenhe to its head! Anping was about to lose his legs, and he had to be distracted to communicate with Paimon.
Still dissatisfied with his cute new name, the Golden King Beast let out a low roar of grievance.
Fortunately, the roar of the Golden King Beast also distracted the general for a moment, and An Ping was able to breathe.
"But Paimon can't move them..."Paimon was about to cry again.
"I'll help, Anping, you hold on!" When no one was paying attention, Toma, who had quietly separated the rope with a spear blade stuck in the ground, had already picked up Shenhe and sent it to the head of the Golden King Beast, and then hurried over and then hunched up and jumped onto the head of the Golden King Beast.
"Pippi! Take them with you! Seeing that everyone had been sent to the head of the Golden King Beast by Thoma, An Ping gave an order, and the Golden King Beast rushed into the sky.
"No thoughts, cut off!" Seeing the Golden King Beast facing the sky, the general withdrew his wrestling with An Ping, and slashed towards the sky with a thoughtless sword, wanting to cut down the Golden King Beast along with Ying.
"At this moment! The time of silence! An Ping suddenly swung the same sword, intercepting the general's sword light in the middle of the road.
The sword light spread, and the clouds in the sky broke inch by inch.
"A thoughtless sword..."The general's stunned and surprised gaze fell on An Ping's body.
"I've been cut by you so many times, if I still can't learn it, wouldn't I be the same as Teppei?" An Ping, whose face was a few points pale, looked at the general.
...
"Anping!" Half of Ying's body, who had already woken up, poked out of the Golden King Beast's head, and stretched out his hand towards An Ping, who was gradually turning into a black spot below.
"Traveler, be careful not to fall! Mr. Anping will be fine, he has already fought with the general more than once, and he is absolutely sure that he dares to stay by himself! Thoma quickly grabbed Ying.
"No, Anping's injuries haven't recovered yet... He's going to die, let me go down and help him...", but the Golden King Beast wouldn't listen to Ying's orders, and in the blink of an eye, it had already taken them out of the confines of Narukami Island.
"General... You don't really want to fight me here, do you... If the two of us fight, Inazuma Castle will no longer exist..."After Ying's women were taken away by the Golden King Beast, Anhei finally had enough confidence to negotiate with the general.
The general's brow furrowed. It's the toughest opponent she's ever seen. It seems that I had to let her do it... The general summoned the shadow in the Pure Land, but then his expression became even more surprised.
"Let's go." This is the will of the shadow in the Pure Land.
"Then thank you General..."It seems that after all, my daughter will feel sorry for her father... It is still better than the grandson who has forgotten his ancestors.
An Ping suppressed the blood that had accumulated in his chest, straightened his waist and disappeared into the sky in the direction of Haiji Island. The faces of the residents who watched the whole process were even more excited.
Originally, I just came to join in the fun, but I didn't expect to suddenly stage a thrilling and twisty drama of robbery.
If you're in Liyue, the storyteller's tea stall business would be booming for a whole month. In the case of Mondstadt, there would be boasting of witnesses in the tavern every day.
But in Inazuma... After that, it should be adapted into a light and stunning serial...
