How Did This Pressure Not Get Put on Wrong?

Not to mention that as Acheron was hacking away, a super-sized sea serpent emerged from Chi You's body—yes, the serpent god Orobashi.

"How is it, Acheron?"

"No problem." Acheron, with his white hair, remained expressionless—and indeed he was. "It just feels like I'm performing surgery on a continent."

Aiming to kill him with a single blow, the battle would be over within five strikes, and he could even modify Chi You's blade.

But now that they're after the meat sauce, Acheron has no choice but to slowly slice Chi You into pieces.

In particular, Chi You's own hardness is much greater than that of the continent. Without any skill, it's all about numbers—this thing can definitely slowly crush a continent even without chewing.

A nuclear bomb dropped on it might not even break the skin.

This thing would do quite well even if thrown into space.

"This thing shouldn't have been this monstrous in the first place..." Bai frowned. Now that Chi You was on his last breath, it wouldn't stop him from chatting with Acheron for a while.

Although in the original story, Chi You was not violently defeated, but rather his three cores were sealed by Ji Lin and others, and he was worn down to death over many years, it should never have been this monstrous.

To now try to replicate the Sacrifice-to-Seal-Core technique... is probably a joke.

"Could it be some kind of mutation?" Bai Siwei pondered for a moment.

"Possibly, but I'm not sure." Acheron said something pointless—after all, any accident would still result in a few cuts to kill him. If it weren't for the special objective of the mission Liu Bai set up, Chi You would have been cut out of his core and killed long ago.

Then, Acheron handed his knife to Liu Bai, saying, "The final blow is yours."

Acheron was well aware that one of the purposes of this trip was to create momentum for Liu Bai.

Now, Chi You's final strike is undoubtedly the best "momentum".

"Use the power of this sword. This time, I will slash with you."

"...good."

Taking a deep breath, Liu Bai grasped Acheron's hand.

The next moment, the world began to change color.

I unleashed my full power with a single, powerful strike.

A level attack with 100% power is a level attack with 100% power.

Opening it wide is opening it wide.

Chi You didn't use any special effects; her special effects were limited to just unleashing a single sword aura.

Now, let's get to the main course.

Acheron placed his other hand over Liu Bai's hand, and they clasped tightly together.

"There is no more sorrow..."

Acheron murmured in a voice that only Liu Bai could hear.

In this world, when she first wielded her sword, there was no Eclipse.

The second swing of the sword, though the scenery remained deathly still, no longer carried any sorrow.

"There is no need for weeping anymore."

The lingering dream is stained, severed by a single stroke!

The knife is drawn—

Roar--!

Before the giant beast could even utter a wail, its remains were obliterated inch by inch.

"The next time I swing my sword..."

"It will be full of hope."

"No, I want to have three."

"...?"

"... Did we win?" Keqing looked at the giant beast that had disappeared on the beach and the cloudless sky, and took a deep breath.

"Of course we won." Beidou shouldered his heavy sword and smashed the Honkai Beasts in front of him flat. "But that last strike... wasn't it a bit too exaggerated?"

Even from several blocks away, they could still feel that suffocating sense of oppression.

"It's already pretty good. Last time I saw Acheron chopping people like that, I thought I was going to die," Yelan complained from the side. "Now I want to see if the port is okay. I hope Acheron doesn't wipe out the port with one strike."

This is definitely a serious, powerful move, completely different from the previous trial strike.

"If the port is gone, we'll build another one!"

"Your Southern Cross might be gone too."

"Then let's rebuild! Out with the old, in with the new! It's not a big deal." Beidou laughed heartily. "Speaking of which, how did you manage to survive seeing Acheron killing people like that?"

"I almost didn't survive."

Yelan rolled her eyes at Beidou, who had almost been sent to meet her ancestors by Acheron's blade.

Fortunately, Liu Bai has some conscience.

"He really overreacted..."

Even knowing that Chi You had already been shredded beyond recognition before Liu Bai arrived, the terrifying power of this final strike was enough to make even ordinary people feel its unparalleled oppressive force.

"Isn't it good to be a big shot? Didn't you already hook up with Liu Bai? Oh, you might be getting beaten up like a dog by Acheron."

Beidou mocked Yelan without restraint.

Yelan said she wouldn't argue with a boor.

Anyway, that tomboy will never find a man in her life.

Once she tricks Ningguang into becoming her foot-washing maid, she'll reach the pinnacle of her life!

So beautiful~

"... Acheron, can't you find another target?"

"It's not a goal, it's an expectation," Acheron corrected.

No, expectations are too high.

This matter was so troublesome that Liu Bai didn't even have the mind to pay attention to Acheron's favorability indicators or Chi You's defeat indicators.

In terms of the life level of the Acheron, giving birth to three... is similar to being pregnant three times.

Forehead...

The real issue isn't about getting pregnant three times.

Instead, Acheron might actually lock him in a dark room if he gets pregnant three times.

Acheron doesn't seem to be joking at all!

I'm afraid even an iron pestle would have to be ground into a needle!

"Acheron, isn't now a bit inappropriate?"

"We can choose a suitable time." Acheron seemed to have absolutely no intention of changing his plans.

Acheron slowly withdrew his hair, and it returned to its normal color.

However, after things returned to normal, Liu Bai saw a hint of a smile on Acheron's lips.

... Could it really be a joke?

Hmm...

"Orobashi pays his respects to the General."

The giant snake approached the shore and bowed its head toward Liu Bai.

Is Orobashi blind or discerning?

Interrupting Liu Bai and Acheron's conversation shows a lack of tact.

But this also gave Liu Bai the opportunity to change the subject, which made him seem perceptive.

"Should I say, 'Rise, my dear subject'?" Bai said to Orobashi, half-jokingly.

"Thank you, General." Orobashi took the opportunity to back down, raising his snake head slightly, but not to eye level.

"By the way, Orobashi, how did you end up inside Chi You?"

"To my shame, I was ordered by the lady to investigate the source of the anomaly..."

After uttering the words "Madam," Orobashi keenly sensed that Acheron glanced at him.

Although there was no malice intended, such a glance from a powerful figure was enough to send chills down one's spine.

"And then you met Chi You and got eaten?"

"...yes."

A hint of embarrassment flickered in Orobashi's snake-like eyes.

Chi You opened his massive mouth and sucked in seawater; it couldn't escape...

Of course, part of the reason was carelessness... let's just call it carelessness—who knew that the deep-sea mountain range next to us was actually a living thing.

Liu Bai was somewhat speechless.

Alright, judging from Orobashi's appearance, he probably doesn't know what happened to Chi You.

"And you..."

"If the general has nothing else to say, I will return to Watatsumi Island."

Orobashi naturally realized that the New General Liu Bai didn't know how to arrange things for him, so Orobashi took the initiative to speak up—and he didn't want to stay here any longer anyway.

This is also quite awkward for it, as Zhongli and it are old rivals.

As someone who ran away back then, turning around and working for Raiden is, to be honest, a bit awkward.

As for Kazuma... being a third wheel is less desirable than chatting with Zhongli.

After all these years, everyone can laugh it off and let bygones be bygones—after all, it was the one who got beaten up back then.

"Alright, the remaining Honkai Beasts in the sea are yours too."

"Your subordinate obeys."

After saying that, Orobashi dove back into the sea.

"Brother-in-law!" Ying also came over at this moment. The aura of the icy warrior during the battle disappeared without a trace. She grabbed Liu Bai's arm and stuffed it into her chest.

"Ahem, alright, alright, they'll be here soon."

Liu Bai patted the shadow, signaling her to tone it down.

"There are still some Honkai Beasts in the city, so the battle isn't over yet."

Chapter 270 This pressure wasn't applied incorrectly?

The phrase "The battle is not over yet" was simply used by Liu Bai to change the subject.

In this battle, Liu Bai... or rather Acheron, has already been the main carry. Now that it's the endgame, even if Liu Bai and Acheron want to continue carrying, Ningguang won't let them.

If they can't even clean up the small fry, wouldn't that make the Millelith look useless?

... Well, compared to those warriors who specialize in fighting Honkai, they are indeed rather useless.

However, the Honkai Beasts that have lost their leader are still within Liyue's ability to handle.

Therefore, Liyue will clean up the mess herself, and she won't give Liu Bai any reputation if she has to.

"Lord Liu Bai, Lord Acheron, and Lord Ying, please go back and rest."

Xianyun glanced at the bracelet and spoke to the three of them.

—Given Xianyun's political acumen, these words were clearly at Ningguang's behest.

Liu Bai nodded first, then looked out to sea.
