Chapter 283 I'll Never Get Tired of It
Kong scratched his head somewhat awkwardly.
“Although Paimon has a lot of confidence in me, I don’t think I can last long under General Thunder, but…”
Kong looked at Xu Ning seriously and said, "...But with Brother Xu included, if it's just about saving people, I think it shouldn't be a big problem!"
Hearing Kong's blindly confident words, Xu Ning couldn't help but smile wryly.
Not a big problem?
This is a huge problem!
Let's not even talk about how many lightning strikes you can withstand, and then what, you'll be on the wanted list again?
Well, that's your destined path, one country at a time.
But you, Brother Xu, are a respectable person. When you step out the door, you represent the nation of Liyue. Every move you make has many implications. Your two reckless behavior is putting me in a difficult position!
However, remembering the words the Emperor had told him before leaving, Xu Ning couldn't help but sigh and nod, "Alright, even though Thomas won't die from having his Eye of God taken away, since you've come to me, let's go and see together."
Upon hearing Xu Ning's agreement, the two oblivious workers immediately clapped their hands together in delight.
Kong laughed and said, "That makes things easier. I'll be in charge of disrupting the ceremony venue. Brother Xu, you just need to take Thomas into the Dust Concealment Cave in the chaos and then leave without anyone noticing."
Kong's method was indeed very feasible, and Xu Ning thought about it and nodded in agreement.
The Eye Hunting Ceremony was held in front of the Thousand-Handed, Hundred-Eyed Stone Statue.
When Xu Ning, Kong, and Paimeng rushed over, the execution square was already surrounded by layers of people.
"Paimon, what's going on inside?"
Paimon flew higher, glanced around, and quickly said to Kong and Xu Ning below, "Thoma has been escorted off the stage by several soldiers, and General Raiden has also come out of the castle tower. Shall we make a move now?"
Xu Ning nodded and said, "We can't wait any longer. Once General Thunder makes a move against Thomas, we'll be at a disadvantage. Let me go first and show you an ancient immortal technique passed down for thousands of years in Liyue, specifically designed to create chaos."
Xu Ning pulled out a large bag from the Dust-Hidden Cave.
"Sprinkle gold on the paper! Hurry!"
Under the shocked gazes of Kong and Paimon, Xu Ning flicked his wrist and scattered an entire bag of large-denomination Mora towards the square below.
Bathed in the morning light, it looked as if a shower of coins was falling from the sky.
The crowd around the square immediately erupted in excitement, with countless people chasing after the rolling money and surging towards the square, causing chaos in the scene.
This bag of Mora was won by Xu Ning in the tea room on Liyue Rock by using the Great Cleverness as a "lamp." It was worth about 20 million Mora and had been gathering dust in a corner of the cave. Now it has finally come in handy.
"Go ahead, drag Thomas into the Dust Song Pot, and then escape through the crowd."
Xu Ning gave Kong a warning, and watched as a thunderous roar erupted from his body, shooting towards Thomas in the center of the square like a bolt of purple lightning. Xu Ning then quickly stepped forward and pulled the little white-haired boy, who was busy picking up money, out from the crowd of people crawling on the ground.
The little money-grubber was short and small, and he mingled in the crowd to pick up money without fear of being stepped on.
Xu Ning casually grabbed another handful of Mora from the cave and stuffed it into the little guy's arms. Looking at the empty figure, Xu Ning couldn't help but sigh that this guy's strength had increased once again.
The elemental forces of Teyvat seem to have no proficiency issues in Kong's hands; once activated, he can use them immediately, as if he has a cheat code.
His current lightning-transformation technique is almost as fast as the young master's "Lightning Flash".
However, even with Kong's incredible speed, he still couldn't bring Thomas into the Dust Song Pot.
Almost immediately after the thunderous explosion that shot into Thomas, two more thunderous roars rang out in succession.
The first clap of thunder, accompanied by the twang of the bowstring, and the long arrow, crackling with lightning, instantly reached Thomas's back, clashing head-on with Kong, who was wielding a longsword, forcing Kong to take two steps back.
The second clap of thunder, carrying the majestic power of heaven, suddenly exploded above everyone's heads, terrifying their very souls.
Almost all the Inazuma people present, upon hearing the thunder filled with the wrath of the Lord of Thunder, immediately prostrated themselves on the spot, daring not to make the slightest movement.
In the vast square, two people with ulterior motives immediately came into focus.
One of them is a foreigner standing next to the target of this Eye Hunting Ceremony—Sora.
The other one is naturally Xu Ning, a Liyue native who is standing on the edge holding the little white-haired creature.
At this moment, Xu Ning naturally saw the appearance of General Lei Dian in front of him.
His hair and eyes were the color of lightning, exuding a mysterious purple aura.
A small beauty mark at the corner of her eye somewhat detracted from her inherent dignity, making one feel a touch of pity.
However, despite Xu Ning's observation of General Thunder, General Thunder did not even glance at him.
Instead, they focused all their attention on the empty space in the center of the square.
"You're an exception—you can wield elemental power without the Eye of God. Exceptions are eternal enemies..."
As he spoke, General Thunder formed a hand seal, and as lightning flashed across his chest, a long sword slowly rose between his breasts.
"I never get tired of watching it!"
Xu Ning stared intently and sighed, then watched as Kong and General Leidian disappeared together in the square amidst the chaos of light and shadow.
She tightened her grip on the startled little white creature in her arms, preventing it from flying away on its own.
Xu Ning strode towards the center of the square, and with a wave of his hand, knocked out the soldier guarding Thomas. He was about to reach out and rescue Thomas.
Amidst the surging wind and thunder, the four-winged tengu, having spread its wings, tightened its bowstring and coldly said to Xu Ning, "Please do not do anything that would harm the feelings between our two nations, Lord Xu Ning!"
