The Raiden Shogun's expression was grim, her gaze fixed on the man before her. He held a black sword that emitted a faint demonic energy. Even just standing there quietly, he exuded a heart-stopping pressure.
"Outlander, why do you interfere in Inazuma's affairs?" the Raiden Shogun's voice carried a hint of coldness as she questioned.
Lin Yide's eyes lifted slightly. He glanced at her indifferently, the corner of his mouth curling into an unfettered smile. "Tell Raiden Ei to come out and see me. I don't have time to waste words on a puppet."
His words angered the Raiden Shogun. She gripped the Musou Isshin, the tip of the blade pointing directly at Lin Yide. "If you do not wish to die, leave this place."
Lin Yide merely let out a contemptuous laugh. "Oh? You think you can threaten me?"
The Musou Isshin in the Raiden Shogun's hand was surrounded by lightning. The turbulent Electro element surged and gathered again, its power even more vast and imposing than before. He turned and said calmly to Kaedehara Kazuha and the others, "You and the Resistance withdraw from Tenshukaku first. This battle from now on is not something you can participate in."
Kaedehara Kazuha and the others, upon hearing Lin Yide's instructions, did not hesitate for a moment. They immediately led the Resistance and quickly withdrew.
The vast Tenshukaku was left with only Lin Yide and the Raiden Shogun. The Raiden Shogun gathered all her strength and swung the Musou Isshin in her hand again, unleashing the Musou no Hitotachi fiercely towards Lin Yide.
Facing this fatal blow, Lin Yide merely smiled indifferently. Just as the blade was about to touch his body, four elemental shields suddenly appeared around him, as brilliant as a rainbow and as unbreakable as a fortress. The Musou no Hitotachi struck heavily upon the four elemental shields. The collision instantly caused a violent energy turbulence. This turbulence, like an awakened beast, raged wildly on the wooden floor, sweeping away the wooden floor within sight into a mess. Wood chips flew wildly in the air like leaves caught in a hurricane.
The Raiden Shogun watched the scene before her in astonishment. Her Musou no Hitotachi had failed to shake Lin Yide's shield in the slightest. Lin Yide was also a little surprised. He had thought this puppet general's strength was at least on par with a Dottore segment. Now, it seemed she was probably only about as strong as the previous Thunderclap.
Lin Yide swung his sword and attacked. The powerful impact sent the Raiden Shogun back several meters. "Puppet, let Raiden Ei come out. You are no match for me."
The Raiden Shogun's expression remained cold, her eyes filled with intense killing intent. "You are an enemy of eternity. I will never let you go!" Before her words fell, a giant Tri-karma Electro Ring suddenly appeared behind her, radiating blinding light. At the same time, she herself floated into the air, steadily supported by mysterious hands and eyes, like a deity descending. Solidified energy formed arms on either side. The three arms on the left side clustered around the central giant arm holding a vajra, appearing solemn and mysterious. On the right was a single giant arm covered with multiple eyes, displaying the unique form of the "Eye of Stormy Judgment." It tightly gripped an enlarged Musou Isshin, exuding a chilling might. This was the Raiden Shogun's "Baleful Shadowlord" form, second only to Raiden Ei's divine attire. The terrifying pressure she emanated was like an ancient demon god descending, making her seem inviolable.
"Mortal, halt here. All that the lightning illuminates is eternity!" Her voice was filled with unquestionable authority. However, what she didn't expect was that Lin Yide didn't show the slightest fear; instead, the expression on his face was more relaxed than before. The reason was simple: while Lin Yide might be a clumsy player who couldn't clear Floor 12 of the Spiral Abyss, he had fought this Weekly Boss countless times and knew all her attack patterns inside and out.
The battle erupted again. The Raiden Shogun was surprised to find that Lin Yide could always dodge her attacks with incredible finesse, moving like a dragon through the lightning and blade light. His swordsmanship was highly skilled; every sword strike could accurately hit the weaknesses in her defense. And the violent elemental reactions caused her significant damage.
Seeing that she was cornered, the Raiden Shogun decided to unleash her ultimate attack. Her figure flashed, instantly disappearing into the deep void. Lin Yide knew she was about to unleash the Musou no Hitotachi. He activated the Kitsune Intent Cultivation Secret Art, located the Remembrance Clusters hidden within the space, and then used Electro energy to draw out the power left behind by Raiden Makoto. As the energy surged, a purple elemental shield gradually condensed, tightly enveloping him.
At this moment, the Raiden Shogun suddenly appeared from the void, her giant right arm raised high, wielding the Musou no Hitach with unmatched power and might. This single slash contained the terrifying power to destroy the world. Wherever the blade passed, it seemed to cleave even space itself. But when this fatal slash struck Lin Yide's purple shield, unexpectedly, it failed to shake the shield in the slightest.
"Why do you know how to counter the Musou no Hitotachi?" the Raiden Shogun's cold voice was filled with confusion.
The corner of Lin Yide's mouth curled, revealing a mysterious smile. "Guess!"
The Raiden Shogun found the man before her utterly infuriating. Her attacks became more frenzied; it seemed every slash aimed to deliver a killing blow to this eternal enemy. However, facing this surging tide of attacks, Lin Yide became increasingly calm. Noticing that his elemental energy was fully charged, he didn't even bother with his shield and began to demonstrate his moves right in front of the Raiden Shogun.
The Raiden Shogun was incredibly vexed but could do nothing about him. She could only continuously swing the Musou Isshin. The battle lasted for a long time, and the Raiden Shogun began to show signs of injury. Her formerly beautiful clothes were now tattered, exposing large areas of her fair skin. The three energy arms on the left side had been completely destroyed in the fierce clashes, and the energy arms behind were also severely damaged; the situation was not optimistic.
After a fierce exchange, the Raiden Shogun was finally unable to maintain the powerful "Baleful Shadowlord" form and reverted to her original appearance. She leaned on her sword with both hands, trying to stand steadily. She asked unwillingly, "Mortal, why can you defeat me? I am the will of eternity in this world."
Lin Yide replied indifferently, "Because your artificial intelligence is not developed enough and only runs according to fixed patterns." Although the Raiden Shogun could understand every single word, put together, she could not understand it at all. Facing a question she could not understand, her approach was to stop thinking.
"Since you can defeat me, then you are worthy to see her," she said calmly. As soon as her words fell, her aura suddenly surged dramatically, and captivating lightning flashed in her eyes. Behind her, a giant Electro ring slowly emerged, radiating terrifying pressure more powerful than ever before. At this moment, Raiden Ei finally appeared.
