"Mr. Feng Yi, you've arrived? Please take care of Kujou Sara!" Gorou said excitedly upon hearing Feng Yi's voice. The reinforcements he had been waiting for had finally come.
As long as he wasn't tied down by Kujou Sara, he could go to the aid of other rebel soldiers.
"Don't worry!"
Feng Yi nodded and, after Gorou left, stood facing Kujou Sara from a distance.
*Swish~*
The two charged at each other simultaneously, their fists and feet exchanging blows. The fight appeared to be extremely fierce.
But the reality was...
"Little Sara, what's going on? Why do the Shogunate's forces have a Delusion?"
Feng Yi asked while feigning an attack.
He had confirmed upon arriving at the battlefield that the item used by the Shogunate soldiers was indeed a Delusion.
He would never mistake that disgusting and evil aura.
"It's a long story, but to put it briefly, Kujou Takayuki has completely given up. While the Shogun has not yet awakened, he has further cooperated with the Fatui..."
Kujou Sara cooperated with Feng Yi's movements, occasionally letting out pained cries as if struck.
Her acting was extremely natural, deceiving all the soldiers on the battlefield.
"What's your plan next?"
Feng Yi performed a grappling maneuver, grabbing Kujou Sara's wrist and leaning in to whisper in her ear.
"I'll fake a defeat in a moment. You'll capture me, and we can discuss further in a secluded place..."
Kujou Sara had come specifically to find Feng Yi.
"Alright!"
Feng Yi agreed, then pushed Kujou Sara away with a strike, creating distance between them.
He stood still, closed his eyes, raised his right arm, pointed his sword finger towards the sky, and roared, "Thunderclap!"
Instantly, the winds and clouds shifted, and rolling thunderclouds churned above the battlefield, as if a demon god had descended. Roaring thunder exploded in the soldiers' ears, making their hearts tremble and filling them with dread.
Both rebel and Shogunate soldiers halted their fighting, looking up at the rolling thunderclouds and simultaneously focusing their gaze on Feng Yi, who was casting the spell.
Is this his true strength? No wonder he could fight the Electro Archon and retreat unharmed.
Seeing this, the Shogunate soldiers couldn't help but worry about Lady Kujou Sara. Could she withstand such terrifying lightning?
Conversely, the rebel soldiers' faces lit up with joy, their morale greatly boosted. Is this the true strength of Lord Feng Yi?
It would be best if he defeated General Kujou Sara with one move and then led them to counterattack!
Gorou tightened his grip on his bow, thinking, if only he had such strength, would so many of his comrades have died?
As for Kujou Sara, who was about to face Feng Yi's lightning magic, her lips twitched and her eyelids jumped wildly.
What was Feng Yi doing? Was he trying to silence her?
Did he overestimate himself so much?
Such terrifying lightning magic, perhaps only the Shogun could withstand it, right?
Weren't they just putting on a show? Did he have to be so serious?
Kujou Sara appeared to be on guard, but her heart was pounding, feeling like she might be finished soon.
Just then, Feng Yi suddenly opened his eyes, a flicker of purple lightning flashing in them, leaping to his fingertips.
As his hand moved, a lightning pillar as thick as a water vat enveloped Kujou Sara.
The lightning was too intense, making it difficult for outsiders to discern Kujou Sara's condition within the pillar.
And Kujou Sara, the focus of attention, saw an empty void within the pillar, just a hollow shell. She secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Feng Yi hadn't taken the act too seriously; otherwise, she truly couldn't have endured it.
But when the lightning pillar disappeared, it would be too unbelievable if the soldiers saw her completely unharmed.
It seemed she would have to act herself.
Purple lightning glowed on the Tengu wings behind Kujou Sara, then enveloped her body, electrifying her clothes, skin, and the ground beneath her feet.
Feng Yi timed it, thinking it should be about right.
With a wave of his hand, he dispelled the lightning.
The lightning pillar dissipated, and Kujou Sara was seen lying on the ground, her clothes tattered and her skin scorched black. A deep pit had also been blasted into the ground by the lightning.
Feng Yi's eyelids twitched. This Kujou Sara had good acting skills, putting on a coordinated performance in such a short time.
"Lady Kujou Sara!"
"They've hurt Lady Kujou Sara! Brothers, avenge Lady Kujou Sara!"
The Shogunate soldiers, seeing Kujou Sara lying on the ground, heavily injured and motionless, rushed towards her, vowing to protect her wounded body.
Kujou Sara narrowed her eyes, feeling extremely anxious, and resented Feng Yi for not hurrying. If the Shogunate soldiers discovered she was acting, she would be utterly humiliated.
Fortunately, Feng Yi moved first, carrying Kujou Sara and leaving the battlefield.
He opened the Serenitea Pot and placed Kujou Sara inside, then stood silently in place, looking coldly at the Shogunate soldiers.
At this moment, Feng Yi appeared like an invincible god of war. With just a glance, he made all the enemies hesitate, not daring to advance another step.
The image of him casting lightning magic and severely injuring Lady Kujou Sara was still fresh in their minds. The Shogunate soldiers feared that the next bolt of lightning would strike them.
If even the formidable Lady Kujou Sara couldn't withstand it, how could they?
"Lady Kujou Sara has been captured! Quickly return and report the situation to Lord Takayuki! We cannot delay the war! Retreat temporarily!"
A captain of the Shogunate forces stepped forward, found a reasonable excuse, and then waved his hand, leading his subordinates to withdraw from the battlefield.
"That's right. The enemy is too strong. The plan to rescue Lady Kujou Sara must be carefully considered. Hear my command, retreat immediately, no fighting allowed!"
The remaining captains of the Shogunate forces, seeing someone take the lead, immediately followed behind, fleeing the battlefield as if pursued.
The main reason was the overwhelming pressure emanating from Feng Yi. Even though he did nothing, just standing there quietly, they could still feel their hearts racing and their breathing becoming difficult.
Some less resilient new recruits even vomited on the spot.
Cannot look directly at him! Cannot contend with him!
This was their only thought.
"We won! We won!"
"Captain Feng Yi drove them away! Long live Captain Feng Yi!"
"Long live Captain Feng Yi! Long live the resistance!"
...
Seeing that the enemy had indeed been scared away by Captain Feng Yi, the worried faces of the rebel soldiers finally broke into smiles of relief.
Ecstatic, they cheered loudly, the sounds echoing across the battlefield.
This battle had been too difficult for them. They had been suppressed the entire time, only able to watch as their comrades fell one by one, powerless to do anything.
Despair had spread among the soldiers. If Feng Yi hadn't arrived in time, the resistance might have been completely routed soon.
Undoubtedly, Feng Yi's timely reinforcement had saved a battle that was destined to be lost.
"Leave the battlefield cleanup to you. I'm going to interrogate the enemy general, Kujou Sara!"
Feng Yi said to Gorou, who was approaching him.
