Genshin Impact: Demon God of Shura

He didn't know how long he had been unconscious, but anxious calls echoed in Lan Tian's mind.

"Captain! Wake up! Captain!"

"Asura! Asura!"

"Wake up, Captain!"

"Wait a minute, the captain's awake! Everyone, don't move!"

Hearing the anxious shouts around him, Lantian slowly regained consciousness.

At the same time, as Lan Tian regained consciousness, a strong pain spread throughout his body!

As Lantian slowly opened his eyes, everyone present looked at him with excitement.

Looking at his comrades surrounding him, including several wounded soldiers from previous battles, Lan Tian couldn't help but speak up:

"What's wrong with me...? Why are you all... surrounding me... staring at me? Where are we...?"

Lan Tian's extremely weak voice reached the ears of everyone present.

Seeing Lan Tian's battered and bruised state, and hearing his extremely weak voice, everyone present felt a lump in their throats, but they all suppressed their overwhelming grief.

Seeing everyone's hesitant expressions, Lan Tian wanted to reach out and ask Dess, who was leaning against him, to help him up, but he couldn't feel anything in his left hand...

Lan Tian glanced at him out of the corner of his eye and saw that his left hand... was just a bloody, mangled half of his arm with bandages to stop the bleeding, while the rest of it had been blown away somewhere.

At the same time, Lan Tian also discovered a huge and hideous laceration on his left abdomen, and a short hollow steel pipe running from left to right through his right thigh.

The wound on his abdomen was clearly caused by a piece of wood flying at high speed, but it had already been bandaged.

The hollow steel pipe in her right leg has not yet been removed, presumably to prevent it from causing severe bleeding...

Seeing Lan Tian's actions, Long Hu, who was being supported by the ghost, was the first to lose control of his emotions and choked out:

"Captain...we...we won, we...we've all made it out! But Captain, you...you've been injured and unconscious for two hours..."

Daisy, who was standing to the side, was also affected by Longhu's emotions and choked up as well:

"Captain... don't say anything. We're at the location we just arrived at. The rescue helicopter... will be here soon, Captain..."

Influenced by Daisy and Longhu, everyone lost control of their emotions and began to sob, with some even shedding tears of sorrow.

Seeing this, Lan Tian realized her current situation and weakly said:

"Why are you all crying? What? You don't want me to leave... But this is my choice..."

After a pause, Lan Tian continued:

"Longhu...you...are...the firepower of our Shura Squad, how can you...cough cough! How can you cry? I still need you...to manage the members of the Shura Squad for me..."

As he spoke, Lan Tian coughed up a mouthful of blood.

Upon seeing this, everyone present fell silent:

"team leader!"

"Shura!"

"Captain... please don't say anything..."

Lan Tian shook his head helplessly, interrupting everyone's next words.

After everyone quieted down, Lan Tian continued:

"My days are numbered, so... let me... say a few last words to you all..."

As he spoke, Lan Tian looked at the ghost supporting the dragon and tiger:

"Ghost...you were always complaining to me...complaining about why I didn't select the Shura Squad...cough cough! The vice-captain of the Shura Squad...actually...actually, you...have always been the vice-captain I recognized..."

After taking a few heavy breaths, Lan Tian continued:

"If... I'm not mistaken... when I was unconscious... it was you... who directed everyone to evacuate me, right?"

After saying that, Lan Tian showed a genuinely relieved smile to the ghost.

After hearing Lan Tian's words, Ghost was stunned.

When he saw the relieved smile on Lan Tian's face, Ghost instinctively turned his face away, but after a moment he nodded to indicate that he was indeed in charge.

Everyone present saw a tear silently fall from the ghost's profile as she faced them...

Then Lan Tian looked at Daisy, whom he was leaning against, and said:

"Des...after I'm gone, you must be a good vice-captain of the Shura Squad...you must do a good job...supporting Ghost...leading the Shura Squad well..."

Upon hearing this, Dais nodded emphatically.

As Daisy made a large movement, tears inevitably dripped from her eyes onto Lantian's bloodstained cheeks.

But no one wiped away the blue sky; instead, they waited for Lan Tian to continue.

Lan Tian coughed up another mouthful of blood, but no one interrupted him.

Lan Tian looked towards the positions of Sharp Blade Squad Leader Sharp Knife and Iron Fist Squad Leader Wang Gang, and said weakly:

"Old friend...it seems we can no longer fight side by side..."

Upon hearing this, Jian Dao and Wang Gang both shook their heads with tear-filled faces, looking firmly at the blue sky and saying:

Sharp Knife: "No! No way! We can still fight side by side!"

Wang Gang: "No way! You pulled through such a serious injury last time, you can definitely do it this time too!"

That being said, it's clear to anyone with eyes that the blue sky is growing weaker and weaker...

Lan Tian smiled slightly and said weakly:

"Don't you already have the answer to this question in your hearts...?"

Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent in unison.

Even though everyone knew the answer in their hearts, they still found it hard to accept that their close comrades-in-arms, who had fought side by side, would be separated by death in the next moment.

What's more, this person is the leader among them—Blue Sky, codenamed 'Shura'.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Lan Tian struggled to raise his still relatively intact right hand into the air.

Upon seeing this, everyone grasped Lantian's right hand, and then they all burst into tears, for they knew in their hearts that Lantian was saying his final goodbye…

"Let me tell you something happy... about your sister-in-law... who is also my girlfriend, Luo Chuxue... She... married me last month... If I remember correctly... she should be three months pregnant now... I also promised her... if the child is born... if it's a boy, we'll name him Lan Luotian... and if it's a girl, cough cough! cough! if it's a girl... we'll name her Lan Luoxue."

Lan Tian coughed up several more mouthfuls of blood, then said:

"If the children and Luo Xue ask where I am... please tell them for me... that your father was a hero... a hero who sacrificed his life for his country... tell them... that although your father is gone... his spirit is always with them..."

After saying that, Lan Tian revealed a happy smile.

Seeing this, everyone felt a pang of sadness.

The child wasn't even born yet, but he's already lost his father forever...

Seeing everyone's reaction, Lan Tian tightened his grip on his right hand, which was being held by everyone, and said:

"I must go... I... have lived up to the codename 'Shura'! My whole life has been about fighting... Now... it's time for me to lay down this burden... cough cough! You are all my closest comrades-in-arms... can you fulfill my long-cherished wish on behalf of this iron-blooded king of soldiers?"

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded heavily, and the crying grew even louder.

Lan Tian revealed a bleak yet somewhat relieved smile:

"To have my ashes... given to Chuxue...and for her to scatter them into the sea...and to tell her...that sacrificing oneself for one's country...is the honor of every soldier! So...I beg you..."

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded solemnly.

Seeing this, Lantian used his last strength to utter his final words in this world:

"Thank you...everyone...if there is an afterlife...I would still like to be your...Captain Shura...Now...let me...go and see my father and grandparents..."

"..."

After saying this, Lan Tian slowly closed his eyes, and his right hand, which was being held tightly by everyone, gradually became weak.

But no one let go of Lan Tian's right hand, because they saw... a faint smile still lingered on Lan Tian's lips, just like... the smile he had once given them...

No one at the scene made a sound.

Apart from Dais, who was leaning against Lantian, everyone else, including the wounded, stood up and stood solemnly facing the direction of Lantian's body!

The current leader of the Asura Squad, Ghost, roared with tears streaming down his face:

"Salute to the hero!"

brush!

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone, including Dais, gave a solemn military salute to Lantian in unison.

Everyone remained silent, only tears, filled with sorrow, welled up in their eyes and silently streamed down their faces…

The blue sky has left...

This young, iron-willed soldier... left this world with the solemn and sorrowful salutes of his comrades...

Though the heroes have fallen, their spirit lives on!

But... is this how it should all end?
