Genshin Impact, Teyvat's own beloved immortal.

Lu Sheng was forced back two steps when suddenly, a soft object pressed against his back.

It was actually a timely rain.

She transformed into a Qilin, lying across the middle of the abyss river, supporting Lu Sheng with her body while also blocking the abyss power that had escaped.

However, she absorbed all of this abyssal power into her body.

She didn't listen to a word her master Xianyun said. He told her not to risk her life, but she risked her life from beginning to end.

"Are you out of your mind? Get away from me!"

Lu Sheng gave her a push, but Gan Yu didn't budge.

"I can't help the Emperor, this is all I can do. For Liyue, I'm willing to sacrifice everything."

"I am no longer afraid of the abyss. If I lose control, please stop me just like you stopped my uncle and the Great Sage Who Subdued Demons."

You vicious woman! I tried to stop you? You wanted to hit me a second time, didn't you?

Lu Sheng felt both angry and amused, but mostly helpless.

Everyone has their own choices, and no one has the right or the means to change someone else's choices.

Lu Sheng buried his head and struggled to hold on, feeling that those three minutes were far too long.

He had been counting down in his mind, but he had long forgotten which number he was on, and he had also forgotten how long a second actually was. He simply took each drop of sweat that fell from his chin as a second.

In the end, he even forgot that he had a few drops of sweat.

But gradually, the abyss's counterattack slowed down, and the pressure decreased layer by layer until he could push the stone shield forward effortlessly.

Lu Sheng then looked up and found that the abyss had receded.

"it's over?"

He suddenly looked behind him and found that Gan Yu had collapsed to the ground, unable to hold on any longer, and had turned into human form.

Footsteps echoed in the darkness.

Lu Sheng's heart jumped into his throat.

He did not revert to his demon form and was ready to fight the newcomer again at any time.

Fortunately, in the end he saw Morax, or rather, Zhongli's face.

However, he looked older than before, and his brows were full of fatigue from overusing his strength.

It seems the wear and tear has worsened.

"Won?"

"Personal grudges are settled. I spared her life, and I believe you also have some answers to get from her."

"Why did it end so quickly? Why didn't you bring her along?"

Lu Sheng remained vigilant, even guarding against the possibility that Zhong Li in front of him was actually Rhein-Dort in disguise.

“I can’t bring someone who’s been cut in two.” Zhongli’s tone remained calm as he slowly said, “From a general rational perspective, the strength of the Witches’ Guild lies in the forbidden knowledge they possess. In terms of pure martial arts, they are not outstanding, which is the main reason why they choose to remain mysterious and not show their faces in public.”

"Besides, since you're blocking the abyss here, she can't receive the abyss's power. At best, she'll just be an excellent alchemist."

Well, that dead man's tone is definitely Zhongli's.

But he never imagined that the "Golden" Rhinedot, who was being touted as the best, was a high-ranking witch codenamed R from the Witch Association and the strongest alchemist in history.

That's it?

I thought these two would have a spectacular fight, but now the witch is really looking like a clown.

Lu Sheng immediately ran over and found Rhein-Dort lying quietly on the ground.

This was probably the time in her entire life when she was able to calm down and think things through.

Her already short frame was severed in two at the waist, her internal organs spilling out onto the ground, the only connection between her upper and lower body being a section of intestine.

"Tsk tsk tsk..."

Seeing this tragic scene, Lu Sheng couldn't help but gasp. He stopped three meters away from Rhein-Dortmund and didn't go any closer.

This is the wise saying he followed: never approach a dying person easily, because you don't know what terrible things they might do before they die.

It's always better to be cautious.

"I thought you were something special, but you're just a worthless bitch outside of the abyss. You dare call yourself 'Gold'? Ha! A treacherous, scumbag who betrays his master for personal gain."

"If you hadn't betrayed Kanria and taken away the power of the abyss five hundred years ago, you would have been buried deep underground along with your country long ago."

"Cough! Cough cough! Ugh..."

Rhein-Dort opened her mouth slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but the blood stuck in her throat prevented her from speaking.

Left with no other choice, she decided to communicate with Rikuo remotely using the methods of a witch.

"I apologize! I'm sorry! I won't try to take advantage of you again! Let me go! Please! I promise you! I'll give you all the power of the Gemini! I'll create a body for you at the Cretaceous level! I'll do anything as long as you let me go!"

Although it was a dialogue on a spiritual level, Rheindorf's sincere emotions were no less than if she had said these words to her face.

It encompasses a wide range of emotions, including weakness, remorse, grievance, and tearful pleas for mercy.

The terms are quite tempting, making it hard not to be tempted.

Lu Sheng chuckled and shook his head slightly, "You don't know you're wrong, you know you're going to die."

I'm not foolish enough to believe a witch.

Mondstadt Liyue Chapter: Chapter 66: The Barbecue Witch

Rheindorf's tone became even more sorrowful.

"Listen to me! Listen to me first! Killing me will only do harm and no good! If I die, the twins' power will be out of control! They will definitely come back for you! Only if I live can I control them!"

These words sent a shiver down Lu Sheng's spine.

"What good is strength if you don't have a body? Once we kill you, no one can make bodies for them anymore, right?"

"No! Please don't! I'm not the only one in this world who can shape bodies! Any of the Seven Gods can do it! Even a random puppet can unleash half of its original strength! Not to mention other good bodies! So you can't kill me! If you kill me, the Twins will never let you go! I can feel their hatred for you! Believe me, they will do everything in their power to take back your body!"

Rhein-Dortmund delivered a lengthy speech that sounded quite reasonable.

She is currently using the power of the twins to control the abyss for research. If she dies, the power of the twins will be left unattended and will eventually break free from its constraints and return.

The first thing the brother and sister will have to do after losing their bodies will definitely be to find a body to live in. Then, that good-for-nothing Sora will definitely want to take back the body that originally belonged to him.

Even if Kong, who has regained all his power, cannot exert his full strength in his temporary body, he will still be a considerable troublesome opponent.

If he can find an even better body, that would be even more troublesome.

However, apart from the body at the Cretaceous level, no other physical body can compare to the original body, which is his current physical body.

Wouldn't that mean I'd end up with two turds stuck to me again?

But letting Rhein-Dörgården go back is even worse.

The witch never tells the truth. If you spare her life now, she will summon a dark beast tide to sweep across the entire world.

If she then joins forces with other witches, she will have no chance of escaping her grasp.

In other words, Lu Sheng would rather have shit on his body than release Rheindorf.

When faced with two evils, choose the lesser one; this principle is quite easy to understand.

"Sorry, I'm a vengeful person. Unfortunately, you're number one on my hate list. It's impossible for me to let you go. But I have an idea that will allow you to come and go unscathed."

After saying that, Lu Sheng conjured a Shukaku spear in his hand. It was more than two meters long and had sharp ends, so it could be easily stuck into the ground.

"You! What are you going to do? I've already begged you for mercy like this! Why won't you let me go? I was wrong! I really know I was wrong! Do you really want me to kneel down and beg you? Fine! I can do that! Just let me go, I'll kneel down, I'll kowtow to you! I'm sorry! I'm sorry!"

"If I die at your hands! My sisters will avenge me! Don't come any closer! Don't come any closer!!! Abedo! Save your mother!!!"

Rhinedoth's soul screamed as she heard the sound of sharp objects piercing flesh coming from her body.

The spear pierced her lower body, reattaching her severed body, and finally emerged from her mouth.

Just like how medieval lords treated witches, Rhinedoth's body was completely pierced and stood upright.

She was still alive, sobbing continuously from her broken throat, her tearful eyes pleading with Lu Sheng to let her go.

"You're still alive? Are you some kind of legendary tank? Fine, I'll take pity on you and spare you the suffering. I'll see you off."

Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!

Lu Sheng unleashed a fireball that engulfed Rheindorf.

The flames quickly spread to the witch's entire body, her flesh sizzling and her soul howling.

Barbecue Witch, um.

Lu Sheng stood with his arms crossed, watching quietly as Rhein-Dörgården was burned to ashes, his heart as calm as still water.

Given her numerous crimes, burning her to death was the lightest punishment imaginable.

Even Paradox Interactive (P社) players wouldn't want to kill people all over the world for no reason, even if it doesn't bring them any profit.

But Rhein-Dörgården did it.

Releasing the Dark Beast Tide was meaningless for both her and Kanria at the time.

Perhaps she simply thought it was fun?

Who knows? A woman's mind changes every second. Aside from holding grudges, she's only enthusiastic for a short time in other areas.

I sculpted a bloody dog, didn't like it, and threw it away.

They created Dulin, then released him as a wandering dragon, leaving him to fend for himself. Poor Hagirin, carrying the intense power of the abyss, ran to Mondstadt hoping to make friends.

After creating Abedo, I inexplicably felt like becoming a mother, but after raising it for only a few days, I lost interest, left the child with my best friend, and ran away.

Lu Sheng needs a word even more defiant than defying the heavens to describe her.

Gradually, Rheindorf stopped making any noise, and only then did Lu Sheng dare to approach and investigate.

Pfft!Pfft!Pfft!

He suddenly heard a continuous heartbeat, and upon closer inspection, he discovered that beneath Rhinedot's charred body, there was still a living heart beating.
