Genshin Impact: The Road to Reversal

Chapter 387 Unfulfilled Wish

Nayuka's hoarse roar pierced through the thunderstorm. Suddenly, three dark thunders struck down, instantly shattering the platform under his feet. Thanks to Minghuang and Dongfang Lei, they pulled him back in time and he avoided this fatal attack.

Li Xueyan was stunned and looked at Yite again. It was obvious that Yite was a little confused because of what he had just said.

"Tsk, you're so talkative! He's clearly dead, yet you insist on showing up to disrupt my plans!" He glared at Nayuka, then adjusted his attitude and pointed his gaze at Li Xueyan again. "But it doesn't matter. Even if you know Animage's weakness, what does it matter? As long as you can't get close, you still have no chance of winning!"

"Then let's try it out. Is it your beast that understands human nature, or is it my red lightning that has the ability to penetrate?"

Li Xueyan's eyes flashed red. She suddenly put away her gun and retreated, and the Thunderbird's sharp claws instantly tore through the armor on her shoulder.

"Okay, then let me see whether the puppet that controls thunder and lightning can defeat thunder and lightning itself!" It waved his arm again.

The thunderbird let out a deafening cry, its wings suddenly spread, and rained down thousands of bolts of lightning. The entire city of Linglang trembled in the thunderstorm, and the remaining buildings collapsed one after another. The people fleeing in the streets once again let out desperate cries.

At this moment, Li Xueyan turned her spear and dissolved all the oncoming hidden mines in the blink of an eye.

"No, only innocent people will be hurt here. We must lead this evil creature somewhere else."

She was thinking to herself when suddenly three more hidden thunders fell towards her. Fortunately, she reacted in time and waved her gun to neutralize the attack.

"Don't be absent-minded during the battle. It's very dangerous." It gave a sarcastic smile, and then commanded the Thunderbird to attack her again.

Li Xueyan frowned, as if she had an idea. She raised her right hand, and several red lightning bolts struck the thunderbird's chest in different trajectories.

At this moment, Ite quickly understood and commanded the thunderbird to absorb the red thunder. However, when the aftermath of the red thunder explosion completely dissipated, Li Xueyan had already flown away.

"Want to run? Can you run away?"

He raised his arm and shouted, and the thunderbird spread its wings that covered the sky and chased after him like a black lightning.

Li Xueyan's figure appeared and disappeared among the clouds, and the lightning emitted from her body was like a guiding beacon, leading the thunderbird to the chaotic thunder tomb.

At this time, on the ground.

"Look, why did Miss Xueyan fly away?" Kailin pulled the trigger, killed the last monster in front of her, and looked up at the sky.

Keqing's blade was still humming as she suddenly understood something: "Lord Lei Zun must have his own plans."

A cold light flashed across, and Mo Yan swept across with his sword, killing another wave of monsters. "Yes, after all, Yite doesn't care about the target. Here, not only will he be restricted, but he will also harm innocent people."

"So that's why she wanted to lure the monster to the Thunder Tomb?" Zi Xuan was suspended in the air on her staff. The high-altitude vision allowed her to better use "flame" for support.

"And that's also where the elemental forces are most violent!"

Golden thunder exploded, and Dongfang Lei rushed out of the group of monsters with an iron spear in hand. At the same time, the shadow python soared into the air, crushing all the monsters that came his way.

Ye Lan, standing on the giant python, said: "Stop talking, take care of the present first."

boom!

Suddenly, there was another loud noise coming from the distance. In the direction of the east gate, a giant dragon formed by the elemental power of rock was seen hovering in the air. It turned out to be a dragon elephant transformed by Zhongli using the elemental power. Just from the sound of the explosion coming from afar, one could feel the intensity of the battle.

There was another loud noise, and this time Minghuang was holding Bai Ting and engaging in a fierce battle with the group of monsters. He protected Nayuka behind him and kept urging them.

"Now's the time, Nayuka, to get out of here!"

However, Nayuka, who heard the sound, sat beside the ruins without moving.

"Hey, didn't you hear me? I told you to run!" he shouted angrily, but Nayuka still leaned against the wall.

At this moment, he slowly raised his head, and his eyes were dim and he could hardly see the whole thing.

He lowered his head and gave a bitter laugh, "Don't waste your energy, Minghuang. I'm already dying, relying on the remaining strength of my intangible spirit body to stay alive."

"What are you talking about? I don't allow you to say that!"

He roared angrily, and the white lightning in his hand was like the lightning of dawn, blasting all the monsters that came towards him into ash. Under Zhao Heng's cover, he quickly retreated to Nayuka's side.

"Oh, it's already this hour, do I need to joke with you?" He chuckled and slowly raised his head, but his blurred vision could no longer see the man's face clearly.

"How could it be? It's actually a bionic heart?" Minghuang looked at the crystal on his chest that had already dimmed and finally understood what had happened.

"Yes, you know that bionic hearts are for the dead. Ever since Yagu and his men betrayed the barbarians, I've been killed by them. I used it to return here just to fulfill the leader's last wish..."

Nayuka looked up at the blurry sky covered by thunderclouds and continued.

"Honestly, I envy you. You are the traitor, yet you were able to return to your hometown and make a name for yourself... Unfortunately, as a barbarian warrior, I must be loyal to my tribe. Even if I know it's a pipe dream... I still have to..." His voice became weaker and weaker.

Minghuang's knuckles pinched Nayuka's shoulder armor, making a sound of metal deforming, and tears couldn't stop falling from the corners of his eyes.

"Oh, you're such a grown-up, yet you're actually...crying for your enemy, how shameful..." He chuckled and continued speaking in that weak voice.

"Why, why would you and Chief Dou Koda rather die like this than..." Minghuang tightly grasped the hand that was gradually getting cold.

Nayuka slowly opened his mouth, his voice became weak again, and he almost had no strength to speak.

"For the glory of the barbarians... promise me, since you've chosen... live well... This is also... the leader's last..."

Nayuka's hand suddenly slipped from Minghuang's palm. The bionic heart emitted a final ray of blue light before shattering into crystalline dust, which was blown away by the fierce wind on the battlefield.

"Nayoka!"

Minghuang's roar was drowned out by the explosion.

The moment the voice rang out, everyone's eyes suddenly focused on him. He hugged Nayuka's cold body and cried bitterly, like a red-hot iron statue in the fire.

The monsters in the distance were still approaching, but everyone's attention was numbed by the sudden sadness, until a cold light flashed through the wind, and everyone was awakened by the sudden sound of fighting.

"Could you please not be so sentimental?"

A familiar voice came from the side, and as the two figures emerged from the smoke, everyone could see what they looked like.

"Mad Blade? Phantom?" Kailin exclaimed.

"Why are you here?" Mo Yan held his sword horizontally and looked alert.

"Don't get me wrong, I'm just returning a favor." Kuang Dao folded his arms, appearing nonchalant. He then pointed at the Phantom behind him and said, "As for him, he couldn't bear to see you two get hurt."

The Phantom nodded, and immediately summoned three undead warriors to protect the two of them closely behind him.
