Genshin Impact: The Road to Reversal

Chapter 372 Dual Element Holder (Part 2)

"Because normal contractors can only carry one element after signing a contract with our guardians, but this guy uses the dual elements of "evil" and "blood". What's even stranger is that he is obviously not a contractor, so how can he release this elemental power?" As he said this, Tianlang began to ponder again.

"There are quite a few unexpected people today." Hearing the discussion, Dou Kouda's gaze drifted directly in the direction of Mo Yan and the others. "You know a lot, kid. You just called yourself a guardian. Could it be that you are the rumored guardian from Xuanyue, the 'Moon Saint' who came with the travelers?"

"Oh my, you know me?" Tianlang said with a smile, folding his hands.

"Of course. After all, that madman has already told me everything about you." Dou Kouda held the battle axe in his left hand and the battle axe in his right hand upright on the ground. "You are right. Because of the contract made by 'Order', even if you have the ability to control elemental power since birth, it is far inferior to the power you can control after signing the contract. But don't forget, evil and blood are elements born from humans!"

"Because of 'evil', people have desires, as well as emotions like joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness; because of 'blood', all things have life and death, as well as the possibility of misfortune and fortune. These two forces have never needed any contract. They flow in everyone's blood. I simply use special means to liberate them from the body!"

"Special means? Could it be a spirit from the virtual world?" Dongfang Lei said.

Hearing this, Mo Yan was suddenly shocked.

In Akagi, when he and Zixuan were looking for someone to forge weapons, they mistakenly entered the territory of the blood elemental spirit. If Jiexiang had not appeared in time, they would probably have died in the cave.

Dou Kouda smiled faintly: "Clever, the Void Spirit Body is born from the damaged earth veins and the fusion of the protective contract elemental power. It is an existence outside of order. Therefore, as long as its power is collected and forcibly integrated into the body, it will naturally break through the restrictions of the contract!"

"Are you crazy? The human body cannot withstand the power of the spirit. If you do this, you will only be retaliated by it!" Dongfang Lei shouted.

"Backlash? No, this is the real power!"

Dou Kouda released his two axes and extended his right hand. For a moment, the powerful elemental pressure made it difficult for everyone to breathe. Under this force, everyone knelt on one knee and held their bodies together.

"See? These powers have now merged with me. Although I can't really unleash them to their full potential, they are more than enough to deal with you!"

After saying that, Dou Kouda clenched his tiger claws, and the pressure around him became even heavier.

Zhao Heng held on to his spear, his upper body almost touching the ground.

"This won't work. I have to find a way... to break through as soon as possible!" He gritted his teeth. "I can only... give it a try!"

He supported the ground with his right hand and groped around his waist with his left hand. Soon, as an obsidian-shaped pendant fell to the ground, he quickly picked up the pendant and began to exert force.

Eeyore!

He shouted angrily, and under the power of the pendant, he almost broke through the limit of his body. A black cross-shaped giant sword appeared in his hand, and the current field was broken in an instant.

"What!" Dou Kouda exclaimed.

"Now!" Mo Yan shouted, waving his sword and rushing forward quickly.

Seeing this, Dou Kouda once again raised his battle axe and swung it in defense. Due to the power disparity, Mo Yan was the one being suppressed, but it didn't matter...

"Witness the cannon fire at dawn!"

"Fire·Falling from the Sky!"

Kailin's artillery fire and Zixuan's fire broke out almost at the same time. Under the devastating suppression of the double firepower, Dou Kouda was forced to retreat, and his battle axe drew a scarlet barrier in front of him.

"It's useless, all of you fall down!" He shouted angrily and released a fierce pressure again. For a moment, all the oncoming firepower was completely dissipated under this pressure.

However, before Dou Kouda could catch his breath, a shadowy aura suddenly began to spread from under his feet, and in the blink of an eye it turned into countless black chains that wrapped around his limbs.

"Shadow: Strangulation!"

"Well done, senior! Now is the time, Zhao Heng!"

"understand!"

Dongfang Lei shouted, iron spear in hand, while Zhao Heng, brandishing his greatsword, rushed from the other side. In an instant, the golden lightning from the spear's tip and the black light from the greatsword struck Dou Kouda with the force of dawn. However, facing the two attacks, he forced his hands open despite his restraints, blocking their attacks.

"How could it be!" They were both shocked at the same time.

"Don't... underestimate me!"

Dou Kouda suddenly burst out with a powerful dual-elemental force, and the shadow chains that bound him broke into pieces. Ye Lan groaned and took several steps back. Even the others scattered around, no longer daring to act recklessly.

"This guy's power is too strong!" Karen complained loudly.

At this moment, Dou Koda stood in place, and the violent elemental power around him continued to spread outward like a tide.

"Well done! You are the first to push me to this point!"

Boom!

Suddenly, thunder in the sky interrupted everyone's thoughts.

Looking up, I saw that the dark clouds in the sky had suddenly started to move at a speed visible to the naked eye, accompanied by scarlet lightning and the loud neighing of war horses, which were faintly visible among them.

This scene immediately reminded everyone of the scene they saw above the Ares tribe at that time.

"Wait a minute, this development seems familiar, could it be?"

Before Kailin could finish her words, a Thunder Rider, riding on red lightning, burst forth from the clouds. The white-haired female knight on horseback was fully armored and wielded a crimson spear. Her red eyes were sharp and majestic, seeming to express her rage.

"Lord Lei Zun?" A hint of fear appeared on Ye Lan's calm face.

Everyone was the same. This was the second time they had seen such a scene since Li Xueyan turned Athens into ashes.

"Hehehe... I didn't expect that I would still alarm that puppet." Dou Kouda sneered.

Li Xueyan was seen looking up at Dou Kouda in the air without saying a word.

Dou Kouda, however, laughed wildly at the sky from the ground. "You've seen it all, puppet! I know you definitely don't want to be called that, but it's the truth. You were once a tool of war, but now you've become a god, high and mighty. But we, under your slaughter, have to survive in humiliation. Even though the people of Linglang yearn for peace and have devoted themselves to you, we won't, because we will never stoop to being a puppet, let alone you, who, out of sheer rage, has killed tens of thousands of people!"

Hearing this, Dongfang Lei on the side was suddenly shocked. He really couldn't understand why he was so reckless when the red thunder was clearly approaching, and even raised his head to curse the sky.

"Dou Koda, are you crazy?"

However, Dou Kouda was very determined: "Yes, I am crazy! If it weren't for this puppet, my clan would never have left our homeland and lived in exile for a thousand years. And Dongfang Lei, don't forget, your ancestors were also buried here, in this chaotic thunder mound! And you, on the other hand, are willing to become her lackey!"

Dongfang Lei's hand trembled slightly as he gripped the spear. The golden lightning at the tip flickered. He looked at the charred bones around him, almost as if he could hear the sounds of bloodshed on the battlefield thousands of years ago.

"I...I just..."

"You don't need to explain to me. They say the might of thunder is unfathomable, and today I will experience it for myself. So, do you hear me, puppet? Come, show me your might of thunder, so that the wronged souls here and the world can witness just how brutal your so-called 'kingly way' truly is!"
