Acheron: How Did You Know My Name Was Raiden Mei? [5K]

The Robin, watching from the side, opened its beak in surprise.

What exactly is going on? I was just wondering if he would have a tough battle with Ji Yuan.

As a result, when faced with the purple-haired woman in front of him, he was sent flying with a single blow.

Grand Duke Infernal Blaze has been defeated...

Yomikawa then looked at the Robin beside him, a hint of doubt in his mind.

While she was fighting Grand Duke Infernal Blaze, the people behind him quietly retreated. Only this person sitting beside the hall remained seated, motionless.

Yomikawa felt a sense of doubt.

Then he swung his sword at the Grand Duke Infernal Blaze once more.

One strike to defeat, one strike to kill.

Chapter 254 Yomikawa: How did you know my name is Raiden Mei? [5k]

Luofu Starfaring Vessel.

"The Annihilation Gang, I'll take care of them."

Upon hearing that the Annihilation Gang had kidnapped Robin and intended to send Ji Yuan alone to the meeting, Phantylia, the Lord of Destruction, was utterly enraged.

In her eyes, what was the Annihilation Gang? A bunch of clowns who had worked so hard for nothing to gain Nanook's favor—a complete joke. And now, these jokes were even plotting to harm Ji Yuan. Phantylia wanted to capture the Annihilation Gang and let them experience firsthand what true destruction was.

Ji Yuan shook his head. "Robin is still over there. She got into trouble because of me. I have to go and rescue her."

"This is dangerous."

Sushang asked with some concern.

"Brother, it's fine if you go alone and fight that Fire Duke, but what if his men gang up on you?"

"Don't worry, I'm not stupid."

Ji Yuan said to everyone, "I have prepared the teleportation device. Once we meet up with Robin, I will activate the device and leave. After we return, we will launch an attack on that Eternal Fire Manor."

It's absurd to think they'd rescue the Robin and then immediately use the teleportation device to leave.

Before teleporting away, he planned to fight Grand Duke Infernal Blaze first. After all, he was the leader of the Annihilation Gang; killing him would surely yield some good equipment.

Herta asked Ji Yuan with suspicion, "A teleportation device? Are you sure it can be used?"

Ji Yuan nodded vigorously. "Yes, definitely. After all, I can even hide from the investigation of the Lord of Destruction. The investigation of the Grand Duke Infernal Blaze is even less of a problem."

Hearing this, Phantylia's expression turned slightly unpleasant. After all, the hidden Lord of Destruction that Ji Yuan mentioned was none other than herself. However, upon further reflection, she realized that it was precisely because of this that Ji Yuan had so thoroughly destroyed her confidence.

That felt pretty good.

Seeing Phantylia's expression change from ugly to happy, even the crazy ones like Ruan Mei and Jingliu were somewhat confused. Ji Yuan had heard that Phantylia had expressed her feelings and knew what she was thinking.

"Oh, right, I heard Tingyun tell me about that. Ji Yuan, let me see that teleportation device." Herta, having heard that the teleportation device had been kept secret from the Lord of Destruction, was intrigued and wanted to take it.

"Let's talk about it after I get back from the Eternal Fire Manor. Right now, the most important thing is to ensure the Robin's safety."

"Alright."

Herta nodded in agreement.

At this moment, Firefly had already prepared the transformation device.

She said to Ji Yuan, "Later, after you leave, I will transform into Sam and follow you. Once you rescue Robin, I will attack that guy."

As she spoke, a glint of shrewdness flashed in her eyes.

The Eternal Fire Manor? Aren't you, Grand Duke Infernal Blaze, fire? This time, I'm going to set you all ablaze.

"That's what the Firefly thought to itself."

Phantylia also wanted to go, but her actions were too conspicuous, and it wasn't enough to deal with the Annihilation Gang.

"Alright, then I'll leave it to you." Ji Yuan patted Firefly on the shoulder.

"There's no time to lose. I'll go over there first and then come back to inform you."

Tingyun gently reminded Ji Yuan, "Be careful. After all, the Annihilation Gang is a force that has committed many evils throughout the universe, and they might be making some preparations behind the scenes. Be very careful not to be tricked by them."

"Don't worry, when it comes to calculation, can they compare to me? I'm a member of the Genius Society. Even if you put all the brains of those Annihilation Gang members together, they still can't match mine."

He would naturally be more careful in his heart, but outwardly he still didn't want others to worry.

After saying this, he turned around, boarded the fast-flying Star Skiff, and left the Luofu Starfaring Vessel.

After resting for several days, it's time for a battle.

Hopefully, when I see the Grand Duke Infernal Blaze, he will be able to enjoy himself to the fullest.

After Ji Yuan left, Firefly had transformed into Sam, also prepared to set off.

As Emanator, traversing the sea of stars in one's physical body is a relatively easy task.

The Star Skiff was incredibly fast, and Ji Yuan flew straight to the location of the Eternal Fire Manor as stated in the challenge letter. His Star Skiff, which even his teammates complained was too fast during battle, was nowhere near the speed of a passenger ship like the Robin's.

The place that took the Robin several days to reach by spaceship, Ji Yuan arrived in less than a day.

During this process, he did not forget to tell Sunday, who was waiting for news of his sister. Hearing that his sister had been kidnapped by Grand Duke Infernal Blaze, he was worried, but he couldn't get to the Eternal Fire Manor in time, so he could only place all his hopes on Ji Yuan.

"Then I'll leave it to you."

Although he was somewhat hostile towards Ji Yuan because Ji Yuan's arrival in Penacony might affect his plans, they were on the same side when it came to matters concerning his sister.

"Don't worry, I will definitely make sure the Robin and sound. As for that mere Grand Duke Infernal Blaze, I'll just cut off his ram's head and hang it on the wall as decoration."

Ji Yuan and Sunday exchanged a few hurried words before hanging up.

As they approached the Eternal Fire Manor, Ji Yuan began to check and organize his equipment.

He wields a soft sword called Skyfall and a heavy sword called Zhi Li Sword. He also carries a bunch of potions specifically designed for Tevat creatures like the Grand Duke Infernal Blaze. If necessary, poisoning him wouldn't be out of the question.

He placed the Mystic Eye on his forehead, donned the armor bestowed upon him by the Keeper of the Celestial Forge, and slung the hunting bow given to him by the Trailblazer of the Hunt on his back. Now he was prepared for both melee and ranged attacks.

Just as he finished preparing everything, he saw a palace-shaped flying object floating in the distance, now engulfed in flames. Ji Yuan glanced at the challenge and realized that this must be the Eternal Fire Manor of the Grand Duke Infernal Blaze.

"Does this place, called the Eternal Fire Manor, mean it's always engulfed in flames?"

Ji Yuan wondered to himself.

With that thought in mind, he piloted his spaceship to the vicinity of the Eternal Fire Manor. Once nearby, he ejected from the Star Skiff. As he ejected, he condensed his entire body with icy energy to resist the onslaught of flames.

Having done all this, Ji Yuan finally felt relieved. His boots touched the still-burning earth as he looked up at the official residence ahead. Looking at the ruins, he couldn't help but mutter a curse:

"They actually renovated a perfectly good building like this. I must say, Grand Duke Infernal Blaze is really particular. As a follower of Nanook, he doesn't even live in a nice building, but deliberately damages it."

Despite his complaints, Ji Yuan couldn't help but sense a danger lurking within. He immediately put himself on high alert. The gates of the Eternal Fire Manor were already open, and the interior was still engulfed in flames.

Ji Yuan's footsteps had just landed on the stone ground when he heard a woman's voice.

"Another enemy?"

Just as Ji Yuan heard the voice, he instantly sensed a figure rushing towards him. The speed was so fast that Ji Yuan could barely see the person; only the unsheathed sword was clearly visible.

That power is incredible!

Without a second thought, Ji Yuan quickly gathered the Zhi Li Sword in front of him. The moment their weapons clashed, Ji Yuan felt he could barely hold onto the Zhi Li Sword. Seeing this, he immediately Zhi Li Sword and flung it away, simultaneously closing in on the figure.

"Inch Force - Heaven-Splitting!"

The figure was simply too powerful; Ji Yuan couldn't possibly fight her head-on with a weapon. So, he quickly dropped his longsword and, taking advantage of her momentary lapse in attention, launched a punch. Although Ji Yuan's movements were fluid and seamless, the dark figure reacted quickly enough. The figure raised her right leg, her knee positioned precisely to block Ji Yuan's punch.

Ji Yuan felt his fist strike his opponent's knee. The hard knee immediately caused a sharp pain in his hand, and at the same time, he felt a tremendous force surge through his body. Ji Yuan was knocked back dozens of meters, directly from the entrance of the Eternal Fire Manor into its depths. Two long tracks were left in the ground behind him.

Such powerful strength.

Although they had only exchanged one move, Ji Yuan could still sense the terrifying power contained within his opponent's body.

They are definitely at the level of Emanator, and probably not weak among Emanator. Although Ji Yuan has not yet reached the level of Emanator, he has fought against too many Emanator and has some sense of the Emanator level.

Ji Yuan roughly estimated that among the Emanator, only his teacher Hua and Zephyro could easily defeat her. As for Diamond and Phantylia, they were probably about the same level; it was impossible to know who was stronger until they actually fought.

"The Grand Duke Infernal Blaze definitely doesn't have that kind of strength, so who is this person?"

Ji Yuan thought to himself.

At this moment, Ji Yuan also saw the figure that attacked him.

She was a beautiful woman with purple hair.

Upon seeing this woman, Ji Yuan blurted out:

"Raiden Mei!"

In his previous life, he had only seen the game CG of Starry Sky Railway, but he had played Honkai Impact 3 for a while. Upon seeing this purple-haired woman, he immediately blurted out the name 'Raiden Mei'.

Upon hearing the name, the woman opposite him hesitated for a moment, her long sword momentarily slowing down.

Just then, the Robin hurriedly emerged from the ruins and saw Ji Yuan staring at Yomikawa. It rushed between the two of them.

"Stop fighting, please stop fighting."

The Robin said to Yomikawa, "Miss Yomikawa, he is Ji Yuan who came to save me. Please don't attack him."

"Ji Yuan, this is Miss Yomikawa, the Sea Ranger. She came here, killed Grand Duke Infernal Blaze, and rescued me."

Upon hearing what the Robin said, both Ji Yuan and Yomikawa lowered their attack stances. However, Ji Yuan still looked at Yomikawa with suspicion.

She said she was Sea Ranger? How is that possible? When did such a powerful figure appear among the Sea Ranger?

Although both the Immortal Celestial Ark Alliance and the Sea Ranger are followers of the Trailblazer of the Hunt, the Sea Ranger seem somewhat neglected compared to the Celestial Ark Alliance, which receives the Trailblazer of the Hunt's favor. The Seven Arbiter-Generals of the Xianzhou are all at the level of Emanator, a level of authority absent among the Sea Ranger.

The purple-haired woman in front of them, who looked remarkably like Raiden Mei, was so strong that it was estimated that no one except Marshal Hua could guarantee a sure victory against her.

"Forget it, we at least exchanged a couple of blows. Once the system tallies up my achievements, I'll know her identity."

Ji Yuan thought to himself.

At this moment, Yomikawa and the Robin walked towards Ji Yuan. Ji Yuan then noticed that Yomikawa was extremely tall, wearing high-heeled boots and only slightly shorter than him.

"Are you alright?" she asked Ji Yuan.

"It's alright. Although I can't beat you, I can still take a beating," Ji Yuan said, dusting himself off. He figured he could only withstand a few more blows.

Qianxun 312814109

Ji Yuan then remembered something and immediately said to Robin, "By the way, Robin, tell your brother about what's happening here. He knows about your kidnapping and is very worried about you."

Hearing him say that, Robin remembered this as well. She quickly took the phone from Ji Yuan and sent the message to her brother. On the other side, Sunday had been waiting for Ji Yuan's call, and immediately answered the message from Robin.

Seeing that Robin, Sunday breathed a sigh of relief.

"Brother, I'm alright..."

The Robin quickly told Sunday what had just happened.

Meanwhile, Yomikawa walked over to Ji Yuan's side.

She tilted her head and looked at Ji Yuan, her eyes questioning, "Why do you call me Raiden Mei? Have we met before?"

She lost a lot. Among those lost things, were there Remembrance of the handsome boy in front of her?

He recognized me at a glance. Could it be that we had some unforgettable experience in the past? But why can't I remember anything at all?

Yomikawa was extremely puzzled.

At that moment, the system's settlement notification sounded in Ji Yuan's mind.

[You have had a sparring session with the Emanator of Nihility Yomikawa (real name: Raiden·Wangchuan Guardian·Mei). The system rewards you with +1 kill experience for Yomikawa.]

Because this sparring match was far too brief, and he was at a disadvantage, the number of generals given to him was not large. Ji Yuan could only recall a few scenes of Yomikawa fighting others.

I've gained some insights, but not many.

However, Ji Yuan was certain of one thing.

The Yomikawa before me, who calls himself the "Sea Ranger," is actually a Void Emanator.
