Chapter 408

"Stubborn!"

With a move of the long spear in his hand, Xiao killed his way toward the Raiden Shogun at a faster speed.

This time, the evenly matched battle from before disappeared.

Replacing it was Xiao's spear tip wrapped in terrifying strange energy, piercing through space with a casual thrust.

With his own strength, he suppressed the Raiden Shogun and beat her, forcing the opponent to retreat repeatedly.

That domineering and ethereal spear intent swept across the entire firmament.

The thunderstorm that had covered Inazuma for a long time was also swept away at this moment.

Regarding this scene, although Kazuha felt emotion, he wasn't surprised.

Xiao possessed the spiritual weapon Primordial Jade Winged-Spear, which was forged by Jiang Yan himself for Xiao, as a reward for his diligence.

Xiao's strength had reached the peak of Refining Essence into Qi and could transcend the tribulation and break through at any time.

Moreover, his Flying Cloud Overlord Spear had also reached the peak, and besides that, there were many other powerful techniques.

And Zhongli often transformed into Erlang to fight and guide Xiao.

Xiao's comprehensive combat power might only be comparable to Ganyu's in Refining Essence into Qi.

Not to mention that the Raiden Shogun couldn't use the Musou no Hitotachi now, even if she used it again, Xiao could still suppress her.

The Raiden Shogun who doesn't cultivate cannot be Xiao's opponent.

Just like this, Xiao hadn't even used his full strength.

Kazuha felt some pride, but then thought about the fact that he still had to be punished, and felt some helplessness.

So...

A Shushan disciple who has made a mistake can never escape the pursuit of the Shushan Sect.

But thinking about it, this punishment shouldn't be too severe.

Kazuha landed gracefully on the ground, and after taking the pill, the internal injuries caused by the Raiden Shogun just now recovered instantly.

Everyone watching the battle felt their scalps go numb.

The battle above their heads was almost one-sided.

When had they ever seen such an embarrassed Raiden Shogun?

And, looking at Xiao's relaxed appearance on the opposite side, it was clear he wasn't serious yet.

Otherwise, I'm afraid the Raiden Shogun would have been defeated long ago.

Xiao perhaps didn't want to entangle with the Raiden Shogun, so he straightened his expression slightly and thrust his spear.

The Raiden Shogun caught it in a hurry, and the naginata in her hand flew out instantly and stuck into the beach.

Her whole body also flew backward for a distance until she retreated to the Shogunate army and was caught by Kujou Sara.

Xiao then stopped and stood proudly in the void.

Holding the long spear, he was like an invincible god of war.

"Offended."

Xiao nodded slightly.

The entire battlefield was silent.

The people of Inazuma only felt that their faith had collapsed somewhat.

The invincible Raiden Shogun was actually defeated by an adeptus from Liyue?

And she lost so cleanly and neatly, even her weapon was disarmed?

Kujou Sara's heart felt like it had shattered into pieces.

The Raiden Shogun stared coldly at Xiao.

"You, variable, variable, are the enemy of eternity!"

Having said this, she reached out and summoned, and the naginata returned to its place.

Kujou Sara was shocked.

She had already lost just now; if she fought again, wouldn't it be even more miserable?

Anyone with eyes could see that the other side hadn't even used their full strength!

"Shogun! Please don't fight anymore!"

Kujou Sara hurriedly knelt on one knee and pleaded with the Raiden Shogun.

But the Raiden Shogun was relentless and swung the naginata again, preparing to kill toward the high sky.

Xiao frowned slightly, feeling emotion in his heart.

This puppet really cannot be communicated with.

Immediately, he didn't hold back anymore, released his divine sense, and pressed down with a boom.

Pressure like heaven and earth was applied to the Raiden Shogun, forcibly awakening Ei in the Plane of Euthymia.

Purple light flashed in the Raiden Shogun's eyes; clearly, Ei was online.

She raised her head and looked at Xiao. The memory of the Shogun fighting him just now flooded into her heart.

Ei looked at Xiao in disbelief.

"How did you... become so strong?"

Seeing Ei come out, Xiao's expression softened, and he landed slowly.

He bowed and said:

"Today's matter is truly a helpless move. Kaedehara Kazuha is at fault, but it can only be judged by the Shushan Sect."

"Please don't blame me, Miss Raiden."

Ei looked at Xiao in confusion.

"Shushan... you have no elemental power!"

Xiao nodded slightly and said softly:

"Valued by the Sect Leader, Xiao has become a disciple of the Shushan Sect."

Ei didn't know what had happened at all, just looked at this strange and bizarre scene with a confused face.

But Xiao didn't pay attention to her anymore, turned to look at Kazuha, and said in a deep voice:

"Junior Brother Kazuha, follow me back to the Shushan Sect. Your punishment will be decided by the Peak Master."

After all, Kazuha killed quite a few ordinary people this time. This matter really hadn't happened in the Shushan Sect yet.

But Kazuha pursed his lips and said in a low voice:

"Senior Brother, can you let me stay for a while longer? I still have some things to do."

Xiao frowned slightly, which immediately startled Kokomi and others.

Everyone had seen Xiao's terrifying combat power just now.

If he insisted on taking Kazuha away, all of Inazuma combined wouldn't be able to stop him.

Fortunately, Kazuha's sincere and earnest gaze moved Xiao, and the latter looked at him deeply and said softly:

"Let me report to the Sect Leader."

"Sect Leader?!"

Kazuha shivered and said in a low voice:

"Senior Brother, is there no need to report such a small matter to the Sect Leader?"

Xiao remained unmoved, just took out his disciple token on his own.

With a trace of reverence in his eyes, he held it high.

Only then did Xiao turn back and say:

"Not only did the Peak Master know about your previous actions, but the Sect Leader also knew."

"Junior Brother Kazuha, you should understand that since the Shushan Sect was rebuilt, there has been no such thing as us cultivators slaughtering ordinary people on a large scale."

"Even if there was a reason, the significance is still extraordinary."

"The Sect Leader still attaches great importance to this matter."

"If no appropriate disposal is made, the prestige of the Law Enforcement Hall and the Shushan Sect will be affected, and mortals may also harbor fear toward us cultivators."

"Therefore, this matter must be decided by the Sect Leader."

Hearing Xiao say this, Kazuha didn't push back anymore.

But there was not much regret in his heart; if it happened again, he would still do it.

Those Okuzumeshu had completely become the bloodthirsty machines of the Raiden Shogun. Kazuha couldn't do it to let them slaughter the unarmed Resistance soldiers.

No matter what the punishment is, he can accept it, except for being expelled from the Shushan Sect...
