As the Windstorm Dragon appeared,
the sky grew increasingly gloomy, and numerous whirlwinds formed, approaching the Mondstadt main city not far from the two.
Seeing this situation,
Heroulia’s heart softened, and she looked at Gu Changge behind her with a pleading expression. She spoke, “Young Master Changge, should I drive it away?”
“......”
Alright, here we go again!
Along the way, he had lost count of how many times Heroulia had stepped in to help those passersby.
Every time, she seemed to enjoy it, even when some people didn’t appreciate her help.
Of course,
Heroulia’s kind nature didn’t mean that Gu Changge was also kind.
Those who didn’t appreciate her help were all taught a lesson by Gu Changge. While he wouldn’t take their lives, they would be bedridden for ten days or half a month.
Now, seeing the Windstorm Dragon appear, Heroulia’s heart softened again.
“Young Master Changge, look at the city over there. If it gets destroyed by the Windstorm Dragon, what a waste!”
“And,”
“there are so many people in the city. If the city is destroyed, they will be left homeless.”
“Young Master Changge, please let Lia drive away the Windstorm Dragon and help them.”
Seeing that Gu Changge remained silent, Heroulia felt a little anxious. She gently shook Gu Changge’s arm and said.
“......”
“Alright, we can drive the Windstorm Dragon away. We’re also going to enter Mondstadt main city later, and it would be boring if it gets destroyed.”
“But,”
“this time it won’t be you who takes action, but me.”
“Eh?”
The beauty was startled and looked at Gu Changge in surprise. “Young Master Changge, you’ll take action? Not Lia?”
“But I’m worried…”
“Hehe, Lia, are you still worried that I can’t defeat a dragon that has lost its mind?”
“And don’t forget, Mondstadt is the territory of the Wind God. Although you’re no longer a god, once you use your divine power and authority, won’t the Wind God Barbatos sense it?”
The beauty pursed her lips.
In the past few days,
when they weren’t traveling, she would return to the Netherworld with Gu Changge to rest.
At Gu Changge’s request, she would occasionally spar with him. She knew quite a bit about Gu Changge’s strength.
In truth, Gu Changge was not weaker than her. It was just that he had never experienced a battle, so he couldn’t fully unleash his strength.
But even so,
dealing with a dragon should be no problem.
“Alright, if Young Master Changge wants to take action personally, then Lia won’t fight for it.”
“Young Master Changge, rest assured. Lia will protect you.”
“If Young Master Changge is in danger, even if it means exposing myself, Lia will do it without hesitation.”
Looking at the beauty’s firm eyes, Gu Changge smiled and stroked Heroulia’s ash-gray hair. He said gently, “Don’t worry, you know my strength. A mere dragon can’t threaten me.”
Heroulia was startled, and then she shyly lowered her head, her fair face turning red. Her eyes were filled with shyness and surprise.
Gu Changge’s mouth twitched. He awkwardly withdrew his hand. With a thought, he took out the Duan Nian Sword that Xian Yun had given him when he left the Hidden Cloud Mountain.
His original elemental power instantly transformed into Thunder Element power, attaching to the Duan Nian Sword.
Next,
the Duan Nian Sword in Gu Changge’s hand instantly unsheathed, turning into a beam of sword light and heading towards the Windstorm Dragon that was getting closer to Mondstadt City.
This was a sword technique that Gu Changge had developed over the past few days based on his memory of Swordsmanship.
However,
Swordsmanship required incantations and internal energy, but he didn’t need them. He only needed to use elemental power to control it.
With Gu Changge’s Thunder Element enhancement, the Duan Nian Sword only took a few seconds to reach the Windstorm Dragon.
At this moment, the Windstorm Dragon, under the influence of poison blood and the Abyss, had lost its mind and its strength had dropped significantly.
Facing the incoming sword shadow, it didn’t even react. It simply collided with the Duan Nian Sword.
Just at that critical moment,
a gentle wind suddenly appeared, blocking most of the attack for the Windstorm Dragon.
Even so,
the Windstorm Dragon was still pierced through the wing by the Duan Nian Sword.
“Roar…”
The Windstorm Dragon let out a roar. The pain of its pierced wing briefly restored its sanity. A glimmer of fear flashed in its giant eyes. It quickly flew towards the direction of the Windstorm Ruins.
Gu Changge blinked. Was that power from the slacker, Venti?
It seemed only he had the ability to do that.
Was it necessary?
Although he didn’t have a good impression of most of the people in Mondstadt, he still had a pretty good feeling about the Windstorm Dragon that protected Mondstadt. He wouldn’t really take its life.
Otherwise, that sword strike wouldn’t have been aimed at its wing but at its head.
He didn’t expect that even so, the slacker, Venti, still intervened secretly.
It seemed that he did care about the Windstorm Dragon.
Seeing the Windstorm Dragon retreat, Gu Changge also controlled the Duan Nian Sword to fly back.
Since it had been driven away, there was no need to pursue it. Otherwise, the slacker would get upset.
Don’t be fooled by the fact that in the story, the Lady took his heart and he looked like a weakling.
If you actually believe it, you’re an idiot.
As the victor of the God War, one of the seven Archons of the world, how could Barbatos be weak?
And,
he was one of the two original Archons (Raiden Shogun and Zhongli were twin gods, but Raiden Shogun was not the original Archon). His strength was at least among the top three among all gods.
If you really angered him, neither Gu Changge nor Heroulia would be able to deal with him.
As the Windstorm Dragon retreated, the whirlwinds that had been approaching from afar dissipated. At the same time, the dark clouds in the originally gloomy sky gradually dissipated, and the long-awaited sunlight shone on the earth again.
The gentle wind blew through Mondstadt once again, bringing the wind of freedom to the Mondstadt people.
