Chapter 127

"Really, when she comes out, you'll see a completely different Sakura, just as strong and perfect as me..."

Ling thought for a moment and asked, "Can I do it like Sister Fu Yan?"

"Ah?"

"Sister Fu Yan is beautiful and cool. I always feel very safe when I walk with her, just like when I'm with my sister."

"Indeed," Elysia nodded, "And she's incredibly powerful. Even now that I've become Flame Chaser, I still feel a sense of dread when I'm facing her. I really don't know why she's so strong..."

While Mobius instructed everyone else to stay away, Bai Yan was an exception.

After Rin was kidnapped by Elysia, he quietly slipped into the operating room and stared at the operating table.

After the surgery and a period of waiting, Sakura gradually regained consciousness.

Mobius and Blanca went to rest again. Even ordinary surgeries are exhausting, let alone something as unconventional as the Flame Chaser surgery.

Only Bai Yan and Ying remained in the operating room.

Sakura looked at herself in the mirror with a complicated yet relieved expression.

"They survived."

Will this affect my life?

"There might be a little, but it's not a big problem... Thank you for earlier."

"I'm just telling the truth."

Sakura took a deep breath. "What is Fu Yan's opinion on this... special experiment?"

"Not bad."

"?"

Bai Yan's calm demeanor, on the contrary, aroused great doubt in Ying's heart.

Then, Bai Yan's next words shocked her even more.

"At least, it wasn't for personal gain."

"That makes sense..."

How was your rest?

"That's about enough. Let's go and tell Ling."

Upon arriving at the lounge, they saw Elysia and Rin playing cat's cradle.

Upon seeing her older sister come out, Ling immediately exclaimed happily, "Sister!"

Elysia put away the red rope and ran over with Rin, then leaned closer to examine Sakura closely.

"Looks like you're in good shape. Do you feel anything unusual?" Mobius appeared out of nowhere and asked Sakura.

"... Should we say it here?"

"Weren't you quite decisive just now? Why are you being so dramatic now?"

"Well, personally, I feel that my hearing and speed have been greatly enhanced; however, unlike Kevin, my feeling is not as obvious as his."

Mobius seemed lost in thought, muttering to himself, "Could it be due to the different types of Honkai Beast chosen... or perhaps it's due to adaptability..."

As she spoke, she turned her gaze to Bai Yan.

Then, a longing green light flickered.

Seeing this, Bai Yan formed a hand seal and casually unleashed a sword aura.

Swoosh—

A strand of hair slowly fell to the ground.

Mobius seemed to wake up with a start, and after realizing what was happening, he reluctantly looked away.

"Wow--"

Ling witnessed this scene, and her eyes gradually brightened.

Elysia tried to imitate the skill a couple of times, but found that she couldn't.

"Fu Yan, would you be interested in testing the power of Flame Chaser?" Mobius glanced at the two pink-haired girls, coughed lightly, and asked softly.

"Kevin's back?"

"It'll be soon, but I think the other two should be quite willing to cooperate with the testing, right?"

Elysia perked up at the words and winked at Bai Yan; Sakura nodded slightly, indicating that she would appreciate his guidance.

Bai Yan withdrew his gaze and said calmly, "That works too."

Volume 1: Chapter 140: The Fifth Squad? Sounds familiar.

Canghai City Ruins.

A massive Emperor-class Honkai Beast crashed to the ground, raising endless dust. A gust of wind swept by, announcing the end of yet another battle.

Elysia tossed her hair, turned gracefully to look at Bai Yan, and asked, "How do you feel?"

Behind him stood Sakura, Mobius, his assistant Blanca, and some ordinary members of the Fire Moth who accompanied him.

Bai Yan: "It's alright."

She was not satisfied with this evaluation.

However, the thought of how spotless the other side was after killing the Herrscher made them back down.

"Aren't there any comments on combat art or violent aesthetics?"

She leaned closer and winked, desperately trying to signal.

"All illusions are merely a cover for a fatal blow; the so-called beauty of battle often lasts only Setsuna."

"When you killed that Honkai Beast, you pushed it to the brink of destruction step by step, and then annihilated it with a continuous barrage of attacks."

"This method is like cutting flesh with a dull knife. It may have unexpected effects when dealing with human enemies, but it is meaningless against monsters like Honkai Beast."

"Ordinary creatures feel pain, fear, or expose their weaknesses when attacked, but Honkai Beast do not feel that way."

"So--"

Bai Yan formed a hand seal and aimed at an Emperor-class that had just arrived from afar.

Using the wind as a blade, sword energy roared up and Setsuna cleaved through the atmosphere.

The wind seemed to blow past Emperor-class.

But how could the wind possibly stop the Honkai Beast?

The Emperor-class beast continued its advance, and as it ran, a barely perceptible line ran down from its top.

It split in two, losing all power to accelerate, leaving only inertia.

It began to roll erratically, gradually slowing down as it rolled freely, until it finally lay completely flat on the ground a dozen meters in front of everyone.

Mobius commented, "He died peacefully."

The members of the Fire Moth nearby quickly recorded the battle and took the opportunity to upload the video.

They felt a strange, indescribable sense that the people accompanying them were monsters.

Elysia stuck out her tongue. "Doesn't this make it immediately clear who's better? Honestly, can't you just give me a little leeway?"

Then, as if she had just thought of something, she put her hands on her hips and said, "Wait a minute, what does 'pain' mean for Honkai Beast?"

Mobius grinned. "You're ruthless, aren't you? You'd cut Honkai Beast into a thousand pieces if you caught one."

Bai Yan glanced at Mobius, remembering this act of stirring up trouble.

"There's nothing I can do, their strength is limited. If I could also shoot down a Honkai Beast with one arrow, it wouldn't take so long—but Mobius, you haven't told me about the Honkai Beast you fused with yet."

Mobius smiled but did not answer.

At this moment, Bai Yan felt that his opportunity had come.

—We, the travelers Path of the Hunt, have always been vengeful.

"This can be guessed indirectly."

"Oh, really? How do I guess?" Elysia asked with great interest.

Mobius frowned, sensing that there was more to these words than met the eye.

"It's simple, beat her up, ask her questions, and then guess."

"..."

"Wait a minute, what are you doing?!"

Bai Yan flashed and arrived in front of Mobius in the blink of an eye.

This is the power of the wind; when it moves without regard to friction, its already formidable speed will be even greater.

Before Mobius could react, he saw Bai Yan make two quick, illusory gestures with one finger.

Puff!

Subsequently, the renowned scientist experienced profuse bleeding from his thigh.

"You!"

However, the bleeding stopped immediately the next moment, as if nothing had happened.

Mobius dared not move, because Bai Yan's hand was already at her neck.

Other people's hands are just hands, but these hands are different.

Unless one's defensive capabilities far exceed those of Emperor-class being, one shouldn't even consider trying.

"Tell me, what kind of Honkai Beast did you fuse with?"

Elysia was dumbfounded. "Is this... is this what they call indirect questioning?"

Bai Yan pondered for a moment upon hearing this, then gently tapped Mobius on the head with his other hand and said, "Speak quickly."

"..."

"..."

Mobius's chest heaved violently, his anger surging uncontrollably.

Angry.

But she still spoke up.

"Sasha, the Judgment-class creature that was born in Changkong City."

The staff member next to it entered it into the database again.

At this moment, Bai Yan turned his gaze to Blanca.

Blanca had already hidden behind the staff, but when she saw this gaze, she quickly ran over.

"Here's what happened: after the surgery, the doctor did experience a near-death experience, but quickly came back to life..."

Upon hearing this, Elysia suddenly realized. "Could it be that this is the reason why Mobius suddenly became a little younger?!"

"Snort!"

"It can bring the dead back to life, but if it can only be slaughtered unilaterally, this ability will reach its limit," Bai Yan commented.

The ability test ended quickly, Mobius left in a hurry, not wanting to stay there for even a moment longer.

Bai Yan was pulled along by Elysia, who said they were going somewhere.

Then he saw two people who were looking down.

The smell of alcohol was faint, and a valuable bottle of liquor, now empty, sat beside Eden.

Hua, sitting opposite her, remained silent, not touching the unidentified drink in front of him.

When Bai Yan was brought here, the two of them finally showed some signs of life.

"Ah, it's Elysia, and that Valkyrie too. It's so good to see you..."

Eden's face was flushed, and he spoke languidly, as if alcohol had taken over part of his consciousness.
