Genshin Impact: The Beginning of the Wind

After a brief stalemate, Kong, whose figure had previously disappeared, suddenly stepped onto a piece of ground that looked intact but was actually completely shattered. Kong, who had originally intended to use the ground to dissipate his force, suddenly lost control of his body.

Kong seemed to have forgotten that he was facing not only Su Feng as an enemy, but also Wendy, who was watching from the sidelines.

In a battle of this caliber, even the slightest mistake can be enough to cause one of them to suffer defeat. Therefore, Wendy intervened slightly after discovering that Su Feng had chosen the wrong fighting method.

He didn't want to waste too much time here, otherwise it would cause trouble for the old man.

Wendy's choice was indeed quite clever; he merely used a little wind to turn the inside of a stepping stone into powder, which caused Kong a great deal of trouble.

Although he regained control of his body in the blink of an eye, such a huge opening could not be ignored in a battle of this magnitude.

Just as Kong's body slightly lost control, Su Feng's emerald green wind sword followed closely behind.

Chapter Twenty: The Roar of the Fallen Dragon King

Kong's body was clearly unable to withstand the wind sword made of the ideal fluid created by Su Feng using his wind power. If there were no accidents, Su Feng's sword would be enough to directly sever Kong's head—whether Kong would die afterward was another matter.

Unfortunately, Su Feng was unable to achieve his goal.

Just as his wind sword was about to touch Kong's body, a layer of obsidian crystal, appearing from nowhere, blocked Su Feng's attack.

An indestructible wind sword should be able to cut through any material barrier, but if what appears in front of the wind sword is a terrifyingly thick crystalline rock wall that suddenly appears in a spatial rift, then the longsword in Su Feng's hand, which can only be considered a dagger in comparison, can play a very limited role.

He did indeed easily slash through the crystal wall blocking his way, but the wind sword, which was only that long, only left a negligible scratch on the crystal wall, which was of unknown thickness and size.

"This little thing really made you so embarrassed, and you almost fell into the hands of these usurpers' lackeys?"

"You pathetic man, you are so powerless. How dare you try to fight against these usurpers and outsiders? It's truly laughable!"

A deep voice reached everyone's ears from somewhere, and only then did Kong, who had reacted and distanced himself from Su Feng, have time to catch his breath.

"My current strength is indeed insufficient, but are you capable of defying the throne in the heavens?"

“Ancient Dragon King, don’t forget we’re all in the same boat now, and you have no right to laugh at me.”

Sora didn't really respect the person who had suddenly saved him, or rather, in his view, there was no difference between the two of them; in the end, they were both just losers struggling under the sway of Heaven's justice.

So although he retaliated, the sarcasm in his words was quite mild, and the retaliation even seemed somewhat routine.

"Humph!"

Perhaps it was empty words that stung the heart of this unknown dragon king, for it roared angrily before turning its attention back to Su Feng and Wendy, who were watching them warily.

"Disgusting God, disgusting retinue, you puppets who rely on the glory of heaven to occupy the earth, what stands before you now is the oldest incarnation of the earth, the inevitable destination of the soul."

"You should kneel and worship, and you should kneel and worship!"

The arrogant Dragon King, unconcerned, tried to intimidate Su Feng and Wendy. With his command, the entire secret realm began to tremble. As the oldest incarnation of the earth, the purest rock dragon before the Dragon King of Rota, and the symbol of the earth's ley lines that contain everything, his slightest will was enough to make the entire secret realm, which relies on the earth's ley lines to exist, tremble and choose to self-destruct according to his will.

To be at odds with Him in the ley lines is absolutely the worst possible choice!

Su Feng and Wendy noticed this almost simultaneously, and after realizing it, they tacitly chose to join forces at this moment to block the might of this ancient dragon king.

"Wind, heed my command!" *2

With the shouts of the two Wind Lords, the winds of the mortal world began to riot once again. Under the call of divine power, terrifying gales transformed into tornadoes that penetrated deep into the earth, and then mercilessly swept everything underground into the sky.

At this moment, the once quietly flowing Biyue Plain seemed to have fallen into a collapse of the sky and the earth—no, it was as if the heavens and the earth had been reversed. Incredibly, land and rocks were thrown directly into the sky, while the raging wind penetrated deep into the earth and tore at its enemies.

"Roar!"

Su Feng and Wendy's decisiveness exceeded the Dragon King's expectations. He never imagined that these two would overturn the entire land and completely dismantle the secret realm without saying a word.

Even at this moment, Su Feng unhesitatingly released unimaginable light boundary power, instantly turning the entire land into sacred soil—and this wild and noble light boundary power made the dark soul of the ancient rock dragon king, who had already accepted the power of the abyss, extremely uncomfortable.

But compared to the discomfort caused by the power of the light realm, he is now more angry and resentful.

"Thief who stole divine power! I will make you pay the price!"

The Light Force symbolizes the origin of Teyvat. In the past, only the high and mighty dragons could use this wild and violent power, and the dragons were also proud of their power.

However, the arrival of the primordial beings changed everything.

The dragons that once roamed the vast lands of Teyvat lost all their nobility, the wild light of the realm was branded with the label of divine law, and even their highest dragon king had no choice but to accept the dark curse.

The ancient Rock Dragon King also lost its former power—after the dark sludge tainted its soul, although it could still barely use its former remains, it ultimately lost its former power and glory.

He is currently only using his former remains by relying on the connection that has not been completely severed. After all, even Teyvat itself has acknowledged the death of the ancient Rock Dragon King—the rebirth of the Rota Dragon King is the most conclusive evidence.

It was precisely because of this that, upon witnessing such pure light energy being used by a mere 'divine servant,' the former Dragon King went completely mad. He desperately wanted to tear open a breach and project more power onto Teyvat to annihilate this 'madman who defiled the power of dragons.'

However, his efforts only yielded more negative results.

Before this, he gained the recognition of the ley lines by relying on his former remains. It was because of this that he was able to help the Dragon King of Rota escape his predicament without anyone noticing, and was able to successfully try to use his remaining power to erode the ley lines of Liyue.

However, when it carelessly began to unleash the malice from the abyss, the great geography naturally began to reject this already fallen soul.

As the local veins began to reject and resist him, Su Feng also keenly sensed the awkward situation of this ancient dragon king, so he decisively unleashed his greatest power.

At this moment, the great battle between heaven and earth on the Biyue Plain, where the world had been overturned, seemed to reappear in the mortal world. The brilliant light of the realm seemed to transform into a great sun under the dark sky, and the dazzling light was so intense that it was impossible for people to look directly at it.

Su Feng, who was controlling all of this, gathered a large amount of light-boundary power and shot it directly at the interface between the Abyss Realm and Teyvat created by the Dragon King.

"Roar!"

"I can not be reconciled!"

"Damn thief, damn usurper!"

"I will one day reclaim our glory and our world!"

Under the brilliant light of the Aura Sphere and with the help of the Teyvat world, Su Feng easily melted the interface created by the Dragon King, while Venti manipulated the 'World Wind' to surge and collapse, and the crack that had been broken open by the powerful force was quickly repaired.

Only then did things finally settle down.

Chapter Twenty-One, Act One, has temporarily come to an end.

After the earth, which had been lifted into the sky by the gale, finally fell back down, everything finally returned to calm for the time being—it was indeed only temporary, as none of the masterminds behind the scenes had been dealt with, and it was clearly impossible to expect them to stop after suffering one setback.

This defeat was not a serious blow to them; in fact, it probably wouldn't even stop the other side from taking further action.

After all, Su Feng and Wendy only destroyed the Upside-Down Statue. Losing the statue at most prevented the other side from continuing to try to control the ley lines of Liyue and continue to erode the seal of the Dragon King Rhodo.

Now that they've been discovered, they can act openly and honestly. If Liyue can't react in time, the other side might still be able to achieve their goal!

"elder brother!"

Meanwhile, Ying, who had been abandoned by Kong, finally returned. Beside her, Dain, who had also returned, looked at the now shattered earth with utter shock.

He didn't immediately follow Ying to Su Feng and Wendy's side—the excessive light boundary power released by Su Feng had completely turned this land into sacred land, and if he, who carried some abyssal aura and power, directly stepped into this land, the clash between the two powers alone would be enough to kill him.

Therefore, he could only stand outside the circle and wait with great caution.

"Wendy, Su Feng, where did my brother go?"

Seeing this scene, Ying was somewhat anxious, but she didn't think that her brother had been executed. She was well aware of the strength of her brother and sister. Judging from the current state of the battlefield, her brother was bound to be taught a lesson, but it was unlikely that he could be defeated in such a small matter.

Even so, she was still quite worried about her brother's safety, after all, he was her brother.

"That guy ran away, he ran really fast. He disappeared without us knowing while I was fighting the ancient Rock Dragon King. We couldn't catch him at all."

Faced with Ying's question, Su Feng didn't hide anything about Kong's situation. Moreover, Kong's strength was indeed very strong. Even in a one-on-one situation, Su Feng wasn't sure he could stop Kong if he wanted to run away.

"Whoo~"

After receiving Su Feng's affirmative answer, Ying couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but soon her face was filled with dissatisfaction and anger again, although this dissatisfaction and anger was not directed at Su Feng and Wendy.

She was giving birth to the air that had suddenly become the Riddler along with all these gods and such.

Even though she was so worried about him after she woke up, she kept traveling in an attempt to find his whereabouts so that the two of them could leave this world together.

As a result, not only did that guy somehow become the Prince of the Abyss, but he also refused to even say a few words to his own adorable little sister!

He even became a riddle solver!

Doesn't that guy know she hates riddle tellers the most?

As expected, that stupid older brother needs to be taught a lesson. Now that things have turned out like this, Ying doesn't even dare to think about what he might do in the future!

Ying seemed even angrier at this thought, and it looked like she was in for a beating.

"Alright, Ying, if you need, you can use Liyue's power to find your brother and the Abyss Order. I think it shouldn't be difficult to get a warrant for you and the old man later. After all, now that this matter involves the Abyss Order, the old man shouldn't mind having another helper to strike a blow against these guys."

Even after Paimon's attempts to comfort her, Wendy finally had to try to find a way to soothe the still-sullen figure.

This person needs to be appeased. Moreover, now that the mastermind has been found, the old man probably wouldn't mind having more people help.

Regardless, the Abyss Order and even the ancient dragon king of the Fallen Soul Abyss are not easy to deal with. Even with Zhongli's strength, he would need to find some help.

"Phew~ I understand. Then I'll have to ask Venti to help introduce me to the Geo Archon."

"I'm determined to bring that guy back!"

Although she was used to traveling alone, Ying knew that she needed the help of others to investigate such a behemoth as the Abyss Order; otherwise, she didn't know how long it would take her to investigate on her own.

It was with this in mind that Ying decisively agreed to Wendy's proposal.

"No problem, leave this to me. I'll definitely arrange it for you."

Upon receiving an affirmative answer, Wendy immediately patted her chest to indicate that she was committed to completing the task.

......

While Wendy was trying to comfort and soothe the sullen Ying, Su Feng went to Dain's side, who was still lingering outside the Holy Land.

"Your condition doesn't look very good?"

Su Feng looked Dain, the former Sword of Ender in the Kanria court, up and down. He could sense that even Dain, who was considered powerful, was in a much worse state due to the torment of the endless curse.

"That's none of your concern. I have my own way of doing things, and besides, I will definitely stick to my goals until I achieve them."

Dain didn't give Su Feng a friendly look—which wasn't surprising, since he was a Kanrean after all, and it would be unrealistic to expect the Kanreans, who survived the destruction of their kingdom, to be friendly when facing gods and related people.

"That's your own business. Right now, all I want to know is if you have any news about the Abyss Cult. After all, the trouble they've caused this time is no ordinary matter. If things aren't handled properly, it could be a repeat of what happened five hundred years ago."

“I must stop them.”

Su Feng made his point very clear at this moment.

The fallen Dragon King has also joined the Abyss Order's operations. Although it is unknown how the Abyss Order managed to do so, no one would dare to underestimate such a formidable opponent.

Moreover, the other side also has powerful connections, so it might actually escalate into another major conflict between the two sides' leaders.
