*CRACK!*
The violet-gold lightning transformed back into a raging dragon-hammer and returned to Minamoto-no-Raikou, but this was a doubled return! Even if Minamoto-no-Raikou possessed Ushi-Oni blood and could control lightning, even if she had an extremely high resistance to it, she wouldn't emerge unscathed!
"Roar!!"
The furious lightning roared. Having exerted herself fully to release her Noble Phantasm, Minamoto-no-Raikou, already slightly fatigued, couldn't dodge in time. Faced with this situation, a surge of defiance welled up in her heart!
If you can block lightning, why can't I?
Looking down on women, are we? Don't you know women hold up half the sky?
For the dignity of women, for the great cause of "my beloved child"! Minamoto-no-Raikou gripped her sword with both hands, her eyes filled with determination, and slashed forward!
*BOOM!!*
Doji-giri Yasutsuna never imagined that in this lifetime, it would have the chance to chop lightning with a swift, decisive strike, sparks and electricity flying everywhere!
"Ah!!!"
Minamoto-no-Raikou, bathed in lightning, was like the Raiden Shogun unleashing her power! Her eyes glowed with purple light! Though the lightning couldn't destroy Minamoto-no-Raikou's Ushi-Oni Body, her clothes couldn't withstand it!
"Wow~"
Heaven and earth bear witness, Mo Shuying truly hadn't intended for things to turn out this way. He was a very pure person; deliberately ruining other people's clothes was absolutely not his intention!
"Hiss! This weather is so dry, and my nose is bleeding. I need to drink more water."
Mo Shuying wiped his nose. Good heavens, with his physical condition, he was actually getting a nosebleed!
"Clang!"
After enduring the lightning's onslaught, Minamoto-no-Raikou's fingers weakly released Doji-giri Yasutsuna. As the sword hit the ground, she too slumped to her knees, a slender arm covering her front, self-deceptively trying to conceal something massive that couldn't be hidden at all.
"Don't look!"
Minamoto-no-Raikou glared furiously at Mo Shuying. The fragments of clothing left on her wouldn't even make a glove. Nothing was covered. Although as a seasoned general, she shouldn't have cared about this, Mo Shuying's gaze was simply too aggressive! That look, as if he wished he could engrave Minamoto-no-Raikou's body into his eyes!
"What are you doing! You're the enemy, why would I not look at you! Should I just let you stab me? If you don't have that kind of awareness, maybe you shouldn't come out, okay? Wouldn't it be better to just stay home honestly?"
Mo Shuying was speechless. Was his gaze "colored"? No, it was respect for the enemy!! (Patting his conscience)
"You!!"
Minamoto-no-Raikou gnashed her teeth. She reached out to pick up Doji-giri Yasutsuna, but then saw Mo Shuying raise the Divine Hammer! He suddenly pulled it down!
"Boom!"
A bolt of heavenly lightning struck, aimed directly at Minamoto-no-Raikou! Mo Shuying wouldn't hold back; this lightning strike could completely incapacitate Minamoto-no-Raikou! After all, she was already very weak.
However, the lightning hadn't yet struck!
"Boom!"
The lightning, which had been falling straight down, suddenly veered off course! It grazed Minamoto-no-Raikou, deviated from its trajectory, and was then absorbed by a Lapis Lazuli Gourd.
A giant Lapis Lazuli Gourd floated in the air, its spout open, completely sucking in the lightning. One could see more flowing lightning inside the bottle!
"Huh? Another one? Are you the Calabash Brothers? Coming one by one?"
Mo Shuying looked at the gourd, a very recognizable gourd. He already knew who had arrived.
"Calabash Brothers? That's a good name, I like it very much~"
Shuten Doji appeared from concealment, reaching out to catch the gourd. This gourd was hers, and she was called "Doji," which was similar to "wa" (child) in Calabash Brothers. So, wasn't "Calabash Brothers" just her?
"Shuten!"
Minamoto-no-Raikou was surprised and resentful to see that it was Shuten Doji who had saved her.
"What's all the shouting about? A stray dog still dares to bark? Get lost! Don't interrupt this deity's skin-to-skin contact with this handsome man! Scram!!"
Shuten Doji merely waved her hand, and a purple gale surged forth, wrapping around Minamoto-no-Raikou and blowing her away. In an instant, she was gone.
Mo Shuying watched this scene without interfering. Instead, he turned to look at Shuten Doji, who was lightly dressed but truly had nothing to show. Legend had it that Shuten Doji was poisoned to death by Minamoto-no-Raikou and Raikou's Four Heavenly Kings. So, what? Did this poison turn into affection? She said the harshest words but then saved Minamoto-no-Raikou.
"Aren't you enemies?" Mo Shuying asked.
"What? Enemies? Is she even worthy?"
Shuten Doji scoffed, then picked up the Lapis Lazuli Gourd and took a swig. It wasn't just alcohol; the absorbed lightning was also swallowed by her, yet she showed no ill effects, instead looking quite pleased.
"Mmm~ This tingling sensation~ What good liquor!!"
Shuten Doji's eyes sparkled as she looked at Mo Shuying, as if she had discovered a new continent.
Mo Shuying frowned slightly. He could sense that in terms of combat power, Shuten Doji was definitely the strongest Servant he had encountered since coming to Nihon! But if you asked if she was stronger than him?
He'd have to test that to find out!
Mo Shuying's gaze changed, finally showing a hint of fighting spirit when facing a powerful enemy.
"Such intense eyes~ I don't dislike that look from you! Come on, I came here to kill you anyway. If you don't resist, I'll be very bored~"
Shuten Doji hooked her finger around the gourd and slung it over her shoulder. With her other hand, she extended a finger towards Mo Shuying and gently beckoned.
I'm being underestimated.
Mo Shuying smiled faintly. Although his opponent looked like a little girl, he wouldn't hold back because of her appearance! They were all enemies! There was only one option: fight!
*"Bang!"*
Mo Shuying moved, bursting with lightning as he charged towards Shuten Doji. But Shuten Doji didn't dodge or evade. As Mo Shuying approached, she suddenly opened her mouth!
*"Boom!!"*
Lightning! The lightning that Shuten Doji had just absorbed into her gourd and then swallowed reappeared! Mo Shuying's vision was instantly filled with it, but with Mjolnir, he wasn't afraid of lightning! With a swing of the Divine Hammer, he deflected the approaching lightning, revealing Shuten Doji, who was smiling ahead!
"Shuten!"
Shuten Doji's Lapis Lazuli Gourd glowed brightly, unleashing a powerful suction that enveloped Mo Shuying's entire body!
*"Bang!"*
In response to this pulling force, a potion bottle popped out of Mo Shuying's body, but the next second it was sucked away before he could grab it.
Thanks to a passive effect, Mo Shuying was unrestricted for a moment, but the suction was continuous, and he was once again being pulled towards the gourd!
In Mo Shuying's eyes, the small mouth of the gourd seemed to have become a black hole. If he didn't resist, he would surely be completely sucked inside. If that happened, he didn't know how much trouble it would cause, so!
"Summon Lightning!"
*"Boom! Boom! Boom!"*
Three bolts of lightning struck Shuten Doji's head consecutively from the sky. Although Shuten Doji had been able to swallow and expel lightning moments ago, this didn't mean she was immune to heavenly lightning. She still had to dodge what she could and absorb what she needed to!
"Hmph!"
Shuten Doji simply raised her Lapis Lazuli Gourd, and the three lightning bolts were continuously sucked into it. Inside the bottle, wind and thunder raged; this gourd was indeed a fine treasure.
Meanwhile, Mo Shuying had taken the opportunity to charge at Shuten Doji again!
Mo Shuying was strongest in close combat! A cute girl like Shuten Doji! It would be a real shame not to land a few punches!
"Overwhelming Might!!"
