Jiang Xiaofeng, disguised as Pure Vessel, launched his attack on Ying with unhurried ease.
Ying's combat skills are definitely not weak; at least she won't be a player who just stands there and attacks like a monster in the game, even if they're using Zhongli's shield.
But... weak!
Ying is still too weak!
Jiang Xiaofeng transformed into Pure Vessel, barely daring to use spells released with the Void Power, mostly relying on wielding Nail to repel Ying.
Jiang Xiaofeng had no choice but to do this.
Although Ying is indeed very resilient.
But he was still very afraid of accidentally hitting Ying too hard and killing her!
It was this opportunity that allowed Jiang Xiaofeng to witness the immense power of the Void Power.
Previously, he had always used the Void Power to enhance his Elemental Power for attacks, or simply used physical attacks; he had never launched an attack directly with the Void Power like he was now.
Perhaps I could slightly change my original plan to develop Elemental Power...
Jiang Xiaofeng could no longer tolerate such a restrictive attack, and with a burst of energy, he sent Ying flying.
"If this is your strongest fighting force."
Jiang Xiaofeng struck back the charging Xiao with a single blow.
"Then you can prepare for your funerals."
The Third had transformed back into Chi Dragon, floating slowly behind Jiang Xiaofeng.
Jiang Xiaofeng had already conveniently used a Starry Sky Gate to replenish the Knight's power, and now he was continuously releasing Shade Soul to block Keqing and Ganyu's retreat.
"..."
Ningguang frowned, deep in thought.
Ying raised the Dull Blade once more.
Jiang Xiaofeng shook his head and unleashed the Darkness Impact once more.
" Starfell Sword, Fall!"
A Starfell Sword fell from the sky and crashed towards Jiang Xiaofeng!
Jiang Xiaofeng flicked the Void Nail, shattering the Starfell Sword, and then stabbed the Nail fiercely into the platform.
The entire platform began to shake violently!
Jiang Xiaofeng looked at Ying, seemingly thinking about what tricks he could use.
Suddenly, a yellow light shone from Ying's body, and a green light appeared on the Dull Blade.
Immediately afterwards, Ying stomped hard on the ground, and several rock crystals pierced towards Jiang Xiaofeng!
At the same time, Ying released a tornado to drive people away and interfere with Jiang Xiaofeng's vision.
Jiang Xiaofeng's expression remained unchanged. Darkness Falls followed by a rain of Nail, breaking through the attacks.
Suddenly, Jiang Xiaofeng felt a jolt behind him and was sent flying.
Ying rushed over and thrust her sword at Jiang Xiaofeng!
"Laugh--"
"Success!"
Ying watched as the Dull Blade pierced Jiang Xiaofeng's body, and a surge of joy filled her heart.
"Can simply bumping into me make you this happy?"
"Then I'll have to make you really happy."
Jiang Xiaofeng turned back to look at the Starfell Sword where he had been standing, and stood up.
The Dull Blade had been devoured by Jiang Xiaofeng, leaving only the hilt.
Jiang Xiaofeng's body trembled.
The Abyss Shriek hurtled straight towards Ying!
"Fluorescent!"
Paimon cried out in surprise.
Ying wiped the corner of her mouth, then suddenly pulled out a knife to defend herself!
The blade was crimson red, and it looked as if blood was about to drip from the edge.
It was the Blood Sword that Jiang Xiaofeng gave her.
Jiang Xiaofeng looked at the Blood Sword, his expression unchanged.
"Don't you really know how to keep a few more weapons for yourself?"
Jiang Xiaofeng flung out Nail and stabbed at Ying.
"If this is all you've got, I'll crush you."
At this moment, Osial's attack came too late.
"Well, never mind."
Jiang Xiaofeng grabbed Ying by the neck and threw her onto the Jade Chamber behind the platform.
Then, Jiang Xiaofeng stabbed the Nail formed from the Void Power into the platform!
The platform began to shake violently.
Osial's attack arrived just in time!
The platform finally succumbed to the barrage of attacks, collapsing along with the Guizhong Ballista and falling into the unfathomable depths of the Guyun Stone Forest...
Several immortals rescued the Millelith and released them.
"What to do?"
Keqing asked Ningguang.
Xiao has put on the Nuo mask again.
"Let the immortals handle the matter of the demons."
" Cloud Retainer, Mountain Shaper, Moon Carver —do everything you can to save the people of the Jade Chamber."
" Conqueror of Demons, do you intend to...!"
The Mountain Shaper exclaimed in shock.
"This is my pact with the Rex Lapis, to protect Liyue Harbor with my life."
"But this does not include people from Liyue Harbor."
"Therefore, the task of rescuing people is entrusted to you."
Cloud Retainer said with dissatisfaction, "We are not so old that we need the Conqueror of Demons to resolve this kind of incident."
"Are there any other options?"
Xiao looked at Cloud Retainer.
The Cloud Retainer fell silent.
There will definitely be a solution, but Liyue Harbor obviously can't hold out for that long, and Osial won't just sit idly by and wait for the power that subdues him to appear.
Ningguang relaxed her brows, as if she had made up her mind.
"There's another way."
Everyone was looking at Ningguang.
Ningguang watched as the " Pure Vessel," the Chi Dragon, and the Knight slowly flew to Osial's side.
"I want to give up Jade Chamber."
Ningguang spoke slowly.
Keqing's eyes widened.
Everyone present knew what the Jade Chamber meant to Ningguang.
Ningguang's lifelong dream was to have the Jade Chamber suspended above the Seven Nations.
But now, for the sake of the entire Liyue, he is willing to give up the Jade Chamber.
" Ningguang, you..."
Keqing was about to say something, but Ningguang raised her hand, stopping the conversation.
Then, Ningguang looked at Ying.
" Traveler, please gather our strength and bring down the Jade Chamber."
Ying held the Blood Sword in her hand and nodded.
elf. "..."
Xiao looked at Blood Sword and felt like he recognized it.
But there wasn't time to think about it that much.
"Let's begin, Ying."
Ying nodded, raised the Blood Sword, and planted it in the center of the Jade Chamber.
"With our determination..."
Ying thought to herself, and slowly exerted her strength.
Go!
Like a meteorite from outer space, the Jade Chamber sparked flames and struck Osial!
"Boom!"
Thick clouds of dust billowed out from Guyun Stone Forest...
One week later.
Ying walked on the streets of Liyue Harbor.
Paimon, meanwhile, stayed close to Ying, sharing the gossip he had heard.
"I heard that the Childe was warned and fined by the Millelith for forcibly entering the Golden House!"
"Moreover, it is said that the amount of Mora in the Golden House is so small that it is visible to the naked eye, and the Childe suffered a great loss of blood!"
"Sigh, the Childe keeps denying that he took the Mora, but no one can prove it..."
Ying listened with a smile as Paimon chattered on about interesting things, nodding occasionally.
"However, surprisingly, the Childe, being Fatui, didn't turn hostile."
"Furthermore, the matter of copying the Sigil of Permission' was dropped along with the fine because no specific reason was found..."
"It is said that the Sigil of Permission' used to resurrect Osial was stolen from the Fatui by a strange fellow."
"According to those people, the monster's head was on fire..."
Paimon and Ying stopped at the same time.
Then, he slowly looked towards the Northland Bank.
"... fluorescent."
"Um."
"I remember Jiang Xiaofeng used to look like that..."
"I remember that too..."
"And he said we'd meet again..."
"He also has significant connections with the Fatui..."
Ying ran towards the Northland Bank.
"Those two are putting on an act!"
Ying gritted her teeth and rushed into the Northland Bank.
When Ying entered, this was the scene before her:
The Childe sat in the chair, clutching his head, looking quite devastated.
The La Signora stared thoughtfully at the Geo Gnosis in Jiang Xiaofeng's hand.
Jiang Xiaofeng slowly absorbed energy from the Gnosis into his body.
Zhongli sat on the chair next to the Childe, slowly sipping her tea.
"You!"
Ying stared in shock at everything that was happening before her eyes.
"What... what's going on?"
Paimon and Ying both looked completely bewildered.
Where did the Gnosis come from?
Why is it in Jiang Xiaofeng's hands?
What is Jiang Xiaofeng doing?
What's Zhongli doing here?
etc...
Ying stared at Zhongli drinking tea as if she'd seen a ghost.
You bastard...
You're slacking off here!
