Chapter 317

Or white.

But this huge creature before him was black.

No wonder it was a demon.

"Hmm, needs purification..."

Su Han nodded with a smile.

Purple anti-demon power poured in, and countless black smoke plumes erupted from the soul fragments.

About ten minutes later.

He obtained a pure soul crystal.

Below, the Raiyin Gongen (Raiyin Gongen)

had completely lost its voice.

Like stone or ore.

Left to be drained by Tessaiga.

After about five minutes.

A purple light burst forth from within Tessaiga.

The blade spirit emitted a joyful sound.

"Master, the power extraction is complete... Come try out the new technique!"

"Alright."

Su Han stepped forward and gripped Tessaiga.

At that moment, countless thunderbolts coiled around it, and the entire blade turned into a magnificent purple, like a mysterious purple gemstone.

As for the jaw section of the blade,

it was filled with wings.

Not physical.

But phantom feathers.

Su Han held Tessaiga, continuously pouring his power into it, wanting to test it.

What special effects did Thunderbird Tessaiga have?

Each previous form of Tessaiga had its own unique effect.

For example, Dragon King Tessaiga carried cutting force.

Wolf King Tessaiga altered the sky's weather, freezing in an icy form.

While Qilin Tessaiga caused explosions.

Then, what about the current Thunderbird Tessaiga?

When he swung the weapon, countless thunderbolts tore through the air along with the sword qi, causing distant floating stones to collapse, and the sky became covered in a vast network of lightning.

Upon closer inspection,

those lightning webs were actually made of countless feathers.

"S-Su Han... your sword... where's the blade? It disappeared! Has it broken?!!!"

Paimon shrieked upon seeing Tessaiga in his hand.

At that moment, Su Han only held the hilt.

The blade itself was gone.

Yingmei looked at the distant lightning field and suddenly realized: "Could it be..."

"Yes! The blade transformed into countless feathers..."

Su Han willed it with his mind.

The covering network of lightning flew back toward Tessaiga.

Reassembling into the blade.

This unprecedented form

was also Su Han’s first experience.

When Tessaiga’s wind damage was unleashed,

it turned into countless lightning feathers, capable of continuous damage to enemies and under his mental control.

And that previous slash

had produced six thousand feathers.

What an astonishing feat.

The battle ended.

Su Han controlled the Thunderbird and tossed it down below Tienyunping.

Paimon glanced around, puzzled: "Didn’t we defeat the Thunderbird? Why is the lightning still continuing here?!"

"What? Not possible..."

Ying looked around.

Indeed, the lightning power (Li Dezhao) had greatly weakened.

But it hadn’t vanished completely.

"This... what on earth is going on? Brother Su Han... did we defeat a fake Raiyin Gongen?"

Ying was thoroughly confused.

The thunderstorm had clearly originated from this Raiyin Gongen.

Now that it had been defeated.

Why hasn't it completely dissipated yet?

The two looked at Su Han.

At this moment, they were utterly confused.

Su Han thought for a moment, then said: "The lightning hasn't fully vanished—my guess must be correct... Kapaqili's obsession still lingers."

Perhaps only when she hears Arou's song again

will it finally vanish..."

"Arou? Who is that... some immortal from Inazuma?"

Paimon tilted her head and pondered seriously.

Su Han smiled. "Just a child long dead, yet deeply entangled with Kapaqili... You'll understand when you have time to visit Crane's Nest."

For now, let it be, Yu.

The Thunder God's Avatar has been defeated; Seirai Island is temporarily safe... We should move on to the next step.

Let's return to Inazuma to continue the festival..."

"Yay... I want to eat until I'm full!"

As soon as Paimon heard they could go back, she instantly forgot everything else.

In contrast, Yan had picked up a massive feather nearby.

It was thirty centimeters long.

Entirely purple in color.

Extremely hard.

It could even serve as a weapon.

"This is..."

Yun picked up the beautiful purple feather.

A scene flooded into her mind.

It was from the perspective of a Thunderbird.

The creature often soared above Qinglai and He Guan.

Until one day, drawn by humans, she finally realized she too had something she cherished.

Unfortunately, the Thunderbird did not remain happy for long.

That meeting turned out to be their final farewell.

When she returned to Crane's View once more.

What she saw was the corpse of a young boy.

An indescribable rage erupted from within the Thunderbird.

It was a demon creature, and the only time it had felt emotion was when those ignorant commoners tore it apart utterly.

Thus, this Thunderbird fell into madness.

It completely destroyed Crane's View.

And left behind a curse: if the boy’s song was never heard again, Crane's View would forever be cursed by her.

"Hey... what’s wrong with you... why are you just standing there? Su Han called for us to leave... huh? What’s this feather...?"

Paimon flew over.

Seeing the feather in Fluor’s hand, she couldn’t help but ask curiously.

She remembered during the battle just now.

She hadn’t seen any feathers then.

Could it have fallen from Su Han’s blade?

Fluor snapped back to her senses and smiled: “This is a relic of the Thunderbird. I just glimpsed some memories—just as Su Han elder said, we must go to Crane’s View to dispel the resentment here!”

"You must go to Crane's Watch to dispel the resentment here!"

“Because the Thunderbird was actually quite kind-hearted. It was just solitary by nature, until it found a true friend—just like how you and I are. Then…

The person named A-Ru was killed.

The Thunderbird went mad after that…”

“Pfft! What nonsense are you spouting? I’m not that A-Ru at all—I won’t die!!”

Paimon jumped up and down in anger.

What kind of comparison is that?

It’s so infuriating.

Su Han chuckled beside them: “Alright, we should head back now… In a few days, I’ll arrange for you to go to Crane’s View. Since you’ve obtained the feather, it means Kapachili has accepted you.

Maybe there will be more such relics later…”

“Yeah, that’s exactly what I think too!”

Fluor nodded happily.

But Paimon asked: “Shouldn’t we worry about the Thunderbird below? What if someone steals it…?”

“Don’t worry, I’ll have Sugar and the others come tomorrow. Besides, there are already many ninja spies on Kakerou Island—no one dares cause trouble.

"Don't worry, I'll arrange for Sucrose and the others to come tomorrow... Besides, there are already many ninja spies on Klee Island, so no one dares to cause trouble."

Su Han drew out his Iron Fang.

With a single light slash.

Space shattered instantly.

After visiting Kakerou Island,

one could clearly sense the spatial node connecting here to Inazuma City.

So returning wouldn’t require flying on a sword anymore.

Directly using the power of the Underworld Path was the fastest way.

The three crossed through the Underworld space.

They quickly returned to Inazuma City.

Meanwhile, Su Han informed the Heavenly Tasks group about the Thunderbird being sealed, telling Tech Maiden Sugar.

She replied she’d head to Kakerou Island first thing tomorrow.

Right now, she was busy researching something.

She couldn’t move for the moment.

Currently, Sugar wasn’t just Liyue’s top tech expert; she was also among the most powerful figures in Inazuma.

She now led a team of over ten thousand people.

Her influence was unparalleled.

Anyone who saw her would respectfully address her as: Lady Sugar!

When Su Han and the others returned,

Keqing and the immortals had also arrived.

Little Sun was sharing pastries with Qiqi.

“Here… this is my favorite chocolate ball, filled inside, hehe… delicious, right?”

"Here... this is my favorite chocolate ball, filled inside, hehe... delicious, right?"

The little zombie held the chocolate ball tightly, grinning from ear to ear.

Clearly, she enjoyed such treats.

However, when she saw Su Han, her eyes lit up instantly.

She immediately dropped the pastry and ran straight toward him.

“Big brother… eat this…”

Qiqi stood on tiptoe, offering her snack to him.

Su Han took a bite and smiled: “Hmm… very tasty! Really good… How long have you been here, Qiqi?”

Su Han took a bite and laughed: "Hmm... very tasty! Really good... How long have you been here, Qiqi?"

"Half... thirty minutes already."

There were many people around.

So Qiqi felt a little shy.

Su Han saw the longing in the girl's eyes and immediately picked her up.

Meanwhile, Klee, seeing this from afar, also ran over, begging to be held too.

"Big brother... I want to... I want to too..."

She had arrived first, after all.

Why did big brother have to hold Qiqi first?

Klee felt a bit jealous.

Su Han laughed: "Alright... I'll hold Klee too! Come on, let's go inside..."

"Hehe, big brother is so nice."

After being held in his arms,

Klee smiled brightly.

Unlike Qiqi’s shyness, her face was full of pride and self-satisfaction.

Even arrogance.

Big brother holding her.

That was a privilege others couldn’t enjoy.

Everyone followed him into the Tenshu Tower.

Many immortals were already there, and even Xiao had come over.

Seeing his arrival,

the Great Saint of Demonic Subjugation walked over and smiled: "I heard you were hosting a celebration, so I came to take a look... didn't expect it to be so lively..."

"Hehe, not bad. Just a small gift for Inazuma... didn't expect you'd come too. The soul of the Floating Cottage is upstairs... do you want to go see it?"

Hearing Su Han’s suggestion,

Xiao shook his head directly: "I’ve already seen it. Yae Miko told me! Heard you’ve been saving Inazuma lately—must be exhausted...

If there’s any powerful enemy,

I can help deal with it..."

Ever since saving Brother Fusha,

this usually cold-hearted yaksha had gradually developed a touch of humanity.

Now he was even offering help voluntarily.

Truly remarkable.

Su Han laughed: "No enemies are causing trouble right now—probably scared off... Sit down, today we’ll eat Inazuma’s delicacies, everyone come taste..."
