Genshin Impact: Dionysus reigns supreme, all demons retreat!

Chapter 359 Familiar Yet Strange Scene

Xu Ning suddenly stood up, almost knocking the little fox off him.

Yae hooked its two front paws around Xu Ning's clothes and swung back and forth twice before climbing back onto Xu Ning's shoulder. It said angrily, "In the end, we won't survive. It doesn't matter who does the dirty work."

Xu Ning shook her head. "It's different."

Xu Ning took the eight-fold fox down and placed it steadily on the tree. He then jumped down and immediately separated his lightning elemental body upon landing.

The longbow in Asase Hibiki's hand is called "Flying Thunder String Vibration," and it is said to be a treasured bow bestowed upon the Tengu clan by the shogun.

The "Flying Thunder Bha-in" inlaid on the bow flashes with an inextinguishable lightning light. The longbow does not need to be nocked an arrow; each time the bowstring is drawn, a lightning bolt will automatically be generated on it.

So sometimes Xu Ning would think that when Kirigiri Takane went to war to destroy demons, he should have taken this longbow with him instead of leaving it to Asase Hibiki.

Perhaps, with the power of this unparalleled lightning longbow, Kirigiri Takane might even be able to return safely.

After all, in that desperate battle, even without his precious bow and with his longsword broken, Kirigiri Takane was still able to survive and even make it back here.

If I had the Thunder Bow, I would never have ended up in this situation. Even if it were tainted with some evil power, I could have saved him just like I saved Mikoto Chiyo.

However, it's too late to say anything now. Kirigiri Takane has completely fallen into demonic form, and there's no way to save it.

Asase Hibiki's archery skills are quite good, after all, she received the true teachings of Kirigiri Takane, and the arrows she uses are the shrine's secret demon-slaying arrows, which are especially effective against demons.

If we can't intercept that Demon-Slaying Arrow before she makes her move, then perhaps just one arrow will be enough to kill Kirigiri Takane.

Therefore, Xu Ning immediately released his lightning element clone. As he rushed towards Mist-Cutting Ridge, the longsword he held was already crackling with lightning, waiting for the fatal arrow to be shot out.

Just as Xu Ning had guessed, Asase Hibiki didn't even ask who the monster in front of her was before drawing her bow and firing a decisive arrow without hesitation.

However, this arrow was aimed at the lightning elemental body!

"What's going on?!"

Xu Ning's lightning elemental body lunged forward in a panic, narrowly avoiding a headshot. All the momentum and sword intent he had just built up were completely destroyed.

Xu Ning, who was chasing after them, turned pale as he watched the Demon-Slaying Arrow pass by.

If this arrow were to strike the lightning elemental body, one's soul would likely suffer severe damage.

"Don't you recognize me? No matter how you look at it, I'm here to help you, so why are you shooting arrows at me?" Xu Ning shouted angrily at Asase Hibiki.

Hibiki Asase did not answer.

Then Xu Ning saw her pull out another demon-slaying arrow from her quiver, and it was aimed at him again.

"roll!"

Hearing those words, tinged with tears, Xu Ning finally saw Asase Hibiki's tear-streaked face in the moonlight.

How could she not recognize the person she had been longing for day and night? Even though this gambling-addicted fool had changed into this state, he still came to keep their appointment.

"This is between the two of us. Please leave, or I'll kill you!"

Xu Ning stopped in his tracks, looked at the nearly collapsing Asase Hibiki, and slowly spoke.

"Kirigiri Takane is destined to break his promise. Your arrows cannot save him, nor can they fulfill his wish. Asase Hibiki, keep only those beautiful memories and leave like this! My sake will allow him to enter the cycle of reincarnation cleanly."

Xu Ning was answered with a resounding clang.
