Genshin Impact: The Road to Reversal

Dou Kouda folded his arms and snorted coldly, "Huh, so you're afraid of her thunderous might too? It's truly ironic that you're the owner of Death, yet the very essence of Death itself is afraid of death."

Phantom exclaimed, "Perhaps, but I'm more concerned about the final step of the Doctor's plan. Retrieving 'Raging Thunder' is crucial to the plan itself, so I have to consider many aspects."

"Is that so? It seems you are truly a loyal dog, little brother."

As Dou Koda finished speaking, Phantom's eyes tightened beneath his messy hair.

"Excuse me for being blunt, but your strength is obviously far superior to that madman, but why are you willing to be inferior to him?" Dou Kouda asked, putting down his hands.

"I don't care about the position. Since I have embarked on this path, I have to stick to it to the end. Besides, it is because of the Brigade and the Demon Lord that I have a second life. So, why should I care about these obvious things?" Phantom replied calmly.

"Really? It seems you're not ruthless enough, little brother. In this world where the strong prey on the weak, power is more important than strength. You have all the power, but you can only bow to others. I don't know whether it is a blessing or a curse." Dou Kouda shook his head, folded his arms again and said, "But I used to have a good impression of that crazy guy."

As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of footsteps was heard not far behind him, which made the two of them slightly shocked.

"It seems that the canine fangs of Thunder Lord have arrived." Dou Koda put down his hands and turned around.

"Don't you need help?" asked the Phantom.

"No need. Just focus on your mission and leave the henchmen to me."

After saying that, he turned and walked towards where the sound came from.

Not far away, Ye Lan had arrived first, but as a cold light fell to the ground, she was forced to stop there.

boom!

Dou Kouda's battle axe split the scorched earth, blood blasting along the axe blade to create a ten-meter-long gully. Ye Lan jumped back at the last second, barely avoiding the opponent's sudden attack.

"Oh, that's a good reaction. You can transform your body into an illusory shadow. You should be 'Youming' Ye Lan, right?" Dou Kouda said as he slowly raised his battle axe.

"Oh? You recognize me?" Ye Lan tilted her head slightly, the chain sickle in her hand ready to strike.

"Of course. In the past, because you, the 'military advisor', were here, my compatriots took great care of you!"

"Your compatriot, are you?" Ye Lan was stunned when she saw the other party dressed in barbarian clothes.

Before he finished speaking, Dou Kouda's battle axe suddenly burst out with a dazzling blood light, and at the same time it was integrated with the black elemental power, and attacked again.

"careful!"

Dongfang Lei, who had rushed up from behind, hurled his iron spear. The lightning from the spear tip collided with the blood axe in a deafening roar. The blast blew away the scorched earth, revealing the dense, weathered bones beneath.

Under this impact with significant destructive power, Ye Lan was forced to retreat several meters and stand in a row with Dongfang Lei.

"How are you, senior? Are you okay?" Dongfang Lei asked as he caught the iron spear that bounced back.

Ye Lan nodded: "Well, it's okay, but this guy is not simple."

Dou Kouda stood there. Seeing Dongfang Lei's face, he suddenly sneered, "Oh, it's you, the child who got lost in the forest 20 years ago. I never thought that after so many years, you and I would meet on the battlefield just as we promised."

Ye Lan glanced at him calmly: "Dongfang, do you know him?"

"Um……"

"Really? So he is..."

"Barbarian leader, Dou Kouda!" Dongfang Lei's eyes flashed with a golden lightning flash, "The man who saved my life back then, are you really going to turn on me now?"

Dou Kouda sneered, "That's right, I said it all those years ago. It's your decision to decide what to do, but I won't show mercy on the battlefield. Just use all your might!"

As soon as the words fell, the battle was about to break out.

Dou Koda's battle axe suddenly split into two bloody blades, and at the same time, entangled by the black elemental force, it became extremely dangerous.

"That's offending!"

boom!

Dongfang Lei's golden spear clashed with the bloody axe, sending shockwaves shattering the debris within a hundred meters. Ye Lan, brandishing his chain, seized the opportunity to strike from the shadows, but Dou Kouda dodged by leaning back. The scythe grazed his chest, sending up a trail of blood.

"What? Is this all the strength of Linglang Siji?" Dou Kouda became more and more courageous as the battle went on. His double axes even expanded in size after being soaked in the black elemental force.

He slammed the battle axe held in both hands to the ground. Thousands of bloody thorns rose from the ground, instantly turning the entire battlefield into a bloody thorn hell.

Ye Lan's figure flickered and moved among the spikes, and the chain sickle drew a dark blue arc of light, but she could never get close.

At this moment, Mo Yan and Kailin's five companions also came over. They stopped and watched the battle in front of them while adjusting their breathing.

"What's going on? Who is that guy?" Karen asked impatiently, panting.

Zi Xuan lowered her head and said, "Just now I seemed to hear Dongfang Lei call him the leader of the barbarians. Could he be Dou Kouda?"

"Ah? So the uncle that Dongfang Lei mentioned before is him?" Kailin asked in surprise.

"But how did he get here?" Mo Yan asked.

"Yes, Sister Ye Lan said that the city has increased its defenses since yesterday. If he came here with Nayuka and the others, he must have seen them last night." Kailin asked again.

"There's only one possibility," Zhang Heng said. "This guy must have sneaked in just as the chaos subsided."

"Should we help now?" Mo Yan asked.

Hearing this, Zhao Heng hesitated for a moment. He looked at Ye Lan and Dongfang Lei who were already locked in a bitter battle before him and said, "Let's wait and see. Going over now might have a counterproductive effect."

A circular blast suddenly erupted in the center of the battlefield! Dou Kouda's twin axes fused into a massive blood-moon blade, its black elemental energy forming a vortex that devoured the lightning. Dongfang Lei's spear tip of golden lightning was ripped apart, and the shockwave sent him flying dozens of meters.

"East!" Ye Lan's chain sickle suddenly split into twelve shadows, but all broke the moment they touched the Blood Moon Blade.

At the critical moment, Ye Lan jumped back. Fortunately, she reacted in time, otherwise she would have been bounced away by this elemental force.

"Are you okay?" she asked softly, frowning and becoming serious.

"Don't worry, I'm fine, but his power is weird." Dongfang Lei held up his spear and looked at Dou Kouda again.

At this moment, Tianlang, who was watching the battle on the side, frowned and understood instantly.

"So that's how it is, this guy is a dual element wielder!"

"A dual element wielder?" Karin asked with her head tilted.

"Indeed, I've mentioned this to you before. Ever since the Ice Dragon of Destruction fell and the original order was established, people have possessed the ability to harness elemental power. However, because this power liberates the desires of the people, the Saint sealed this power after establishing the original contract. Only through our protection and by signing a contract with us can people fully unleash their ability to utilize elemental power."

"But what does this have to do with what you said about the dual element holder?" Karin asked again.
