Honkai Impact: Starting from Wandering with Kiana

The medical robots were running around everywhere, some going to the front lines intact, and others being brought back by people who collected their parts.

The battle lines were too chaotic, with the Fire Moths and Honkai creatures fighting each other. Nine Heavens' heat vision couldn't sweep through and clear the area directly, and the Herrscher's powers couldn't be exposed in front of everyone.

However, hasn't the flight already been exposed?

Jiuxiao greeted Penglai Temple Jiuxiao, and then the two went their separate ways.

Penglai Temple's Jiuxiao continued to fight and provide support, while Jiuxiao transformed into a human cannonball, flying at supersonic speed and crashing into the Honkai creature.

Compared to Jiuxiao's physical toughness, these Honkai creatures were as fragile as paper, easily crushed into dust in a single encounter.

On a tall building in the distance, Bronya was setting up a sniper rifle, scanning the battlefield and directing and providing support.

The commotion caused by Jiuxiao naturally attracted Bronya's attention. At first, Bronya thought that a new flying Honkai creature had appeared, but when she saw the full appearance of the creature hovering in the air through the sniper scope, Bronya opened her mouth in surprise.

So that's what Seele meant by being good at fighting...?

Despite her surprise, Bronya regained her composure and continued to fight on the front lines.

After all, Bronya had already seen even more astonishing things. The truth about the world's destruction was unfolding right before her eyes...

--------------

"Help! Help!" "The defensive line has been breached, requesting backup!" "The left flank has also been breached, send reinforcements!"

Penglai Temple Jiuxiao took off the communicator from her ear, and the chaotic sounds coming from it left her feeling lost. She suddenly didn't know where to provide support; in the midst of such a massive battle, her individual strength seemed rather insignificant.

"What are you looking at? Come and help me!" An angry roar interrupted Penglai Temple Jiuxiao's confusion.

Following the sound, a girl with short blond hair was moving pebbles from the roadside to clear the road.

"The Honkai creatures' attack is too fierce! The roads ahead are blocked! The robots can't reach the front lines! There are many wounded at the front lines now, we must clear the roads as soon as possible," Amisa explained to Penglaiji Jiuxiao, who had run over to help.

"Robots? What robots?" Penglai Temple was puzzled as he moved the stones. Why not use robots to clear away the rubble?

"Why would you ask me that question? What other kind of robot could it be! Of course, it's the Houmei Medical Robot!"

Emisha glared angrily at Penglai Temple Nine Heavens. What time is it now? How can anyone still ask such a meaningless question?

"..."

Penglai Temple Nine Heavens fell silent. So it was just a tiny Houmu robot like the guide. Oh well, it's alright then.

However, after Penglai Temple's Jiuxiao and Amisa cleared away the rubble blocking their path, the road did not appear in front of them.

Instead, hordes of Honkai creatures lay in wait on the opposite side, waiting for the two to clear a path.

"Damn it, damn it, I can't let my family die here! I'll make you Honkai trash all die!" Emisa angrily raised two machine guns and started firing at the Honkai creatures in front of her.

"Stop standing there like idiots, get moving! Protect these medical robots as they perform their medical tasks!"

Penglai Temple Nine Heavens nodded, then took out the ethereal weapon array heavy cannon hanging on his back and fired it together with Amisa.

It takes Emisha many bullets to kill one person, while Penglai Temple's heavy cannon can clear out an entire area with a single shot.

"You're not bad! Iselin has finally come up with a decent weapon!"

Just as Penglai Temple Nine Heavens was about to ask who Iselin was, a large Honkai creature rushed over before she could even speak.

"Damn it, why is there something like this here? Hey, get the wounded and the robots out of here! We can't hold out much longer!"

"You go first, I'll cover you."

"Don't talk nonsense, you can't kill that guy! First... Hey! Come back!" Amy shouted angrily.

But Penglai Temple's Jiuxiao acted as if he hadn't heard, and charged forward with his greatsword.

"Damn it, damn it!" Emisha cursed as she led the wounded and the robot away.

In her original plan, she was to stay behind to cover the retreat, allowing the young Penglaiji Jiuxiao to lead the evacuation. Her angry curses were directed at Penglaiji Jiuxiao's absurdity, and also at her own incompetence.

But before Emisha had gone far, she heard a loud bang.

Turning around, I saw Penglai Temple's Nine Heavens Temple walking out amidst thick smoke, panting heavily.

Without Jiuxiao's time-slow control, Penglai Temple Jiuxiao naturally couldn't easily kill those crumbling creatures that were like wooden stakes, just like harvesting wheat during the day.

"You actually managed to beat this guy... Not bad~ I didn't realize you were so strong." Amysa quickly ran over to help Penglaiji Jiuxiao up, teasing him with a smile.

Penglaiji Jiuxiao, panting heavily, couldn't even answer Amisa. It wasn't just the exhaustion from fighting the Honkai creatures, but also the fact that the array of ethereal weapons had fired too much at once, nearly draining Penglaiji Jiuxiao of his energy...

"The Honkai creatures in this area have been almost completely wiped out, and we will be able to reach the front line soon."

Emisa scanned the surroundings, then led Penglai Temple Nine Heavens to an open space where they wouldn't be hit by the rubble from the collapsing buildings.

“You’re exhausted. I think I overestimated you. You should rest for a while, then hurry back to base with the wounded. The wounded at the front are waiting for me, so I won’t go with you.”

Roar--

"…!?"

Emisha heard a loud roar and immediately looked in the direction from which the sound came.

There, an even larger Honkai creature emerged than the one that had just been defeated by Jiuxiao of Penglai Temple.

There's a consensus among Honkai creatures: small size doesn't necessarily mean weak, but large size always means strong.

"Hey, hey, hey, stand up quickly! This is not comparable to that trash from before... Don't die like this..." Amysa immediately helped Penglaiji Jiuxiao up to run away, but Penglaiji Jiuxiao was already so weak that he could barely open his eyes.

The Honkai creatures also spotted Amisa and Penglai Temple Nine Heavens, and roared as they charged toward them.

Noticing the commotion caused by the Honkai creature, Bronya got serious, gathering Honkai energy in her sniper rifle and preparing to take down the Honkai creature with a single shot.

However, as they were preparing to fire, Bronya put away her gun, glanced at the scene, and then turned and left.

"I hate guys who only show up at the last minute."

The Honkai creature's attack was about to strike. Amisa had already closed her eyes, preparing to be turned into mincemeat along with the girl she'd only known for a few minutes, then devoured by the Honkai creature, becoming…

However, the Honkai creature's attack did not land, and she did not turn into mincemeat. Instead, the Honkai creature turned into mincemeat and scattered all over the ground, its blood and flesh splattering all over Amisa.

Hey, did you miss me?

Jiuxiao floated in the air, smiling as he greeted Amy and the other person.

Chapter 248 To become stronger, you must first take a beating.

Penglai Temple's Jiuxiao fell into a coma, once again entering that bizarre and fantastical dream world.

In her dream, she found herself again amidst her sadness.

Perhaps to avoid being alone again, or out of sympathy for her, this time Penglaiji Jiuxiao did not choose to run away, but wanted to wake her up.

pop-

Penglai Temple Jiuxiao opened his bewildered eyes and found everyone surrounding him. He touched his slightly sore cheek and said to Jiuxiao and the others somewhat uncertainly:

"Uh... I'm still alive?"

Upon hearing what Penglaiji Jiuxiao said, Bronya, who had been worried, immediately flew into a rage and sternly rebuked Penglaiji Jiuxiao.

"Is that really what you think? What do you value your life for! If reinforcements hadn't arrived quickly, you would be dead! We agreed that you were allowed to fight, but you absolutely cannot force yourself to fight an enemy you can't defeat! Do you know how much we paid to bring you back to base from the ruins? Your life no longer belongs to you alone! Do you know what happens in the Honkai..."

"Alright, alright, if it weren't for Penglaiji Jiuxiao, all those people in the medical team would have perished..." Seele stopped Bronya from continuing her scolding and began to speak up for Penglaiji Jiuxiao.

"She tried her best too. If she hadn't slowed down the Honkai creatures, I wouldn't have been able to arrive in time, would I?" Jiuxiao also spoke up to defend Penglaiji Jiuxiao, after all, to be honest, Penglaiji Jiuxiao hadn't really done anything wrong...

Seele and Jiuxiao both spoke up for Penglai Temple Jiuxiao, and Bronya didn't want to say anything more, so she left after saying a few words.

“If you don’t even know how to cherish your own life, how can you save others? Think about it carefully. Seele, tell them how to live in this world.” Bronya glanced at Jiuxiao, then turned and left the room.

Penglai Temple Nine-Shō felt a little guilty. She didn't know how much Bronya and the others had gone to to bring her, who had lost her memory, onto the train from the ruins. But even without being told, she already knew some things from the battle during the day.

Ordinary people are no match for Honkai creatures. Even the most ordinary female assassin needs two or three ordinary people to suppress her.

But did I do anything wrong by saving people...?

A hand was placed on her head and rubbed vigorously. Penglaiji Jiuxiao looked up at the owner of the hand on her head.

“Don’t be sad. You didn’t do anything wrong, and neither did Bronya. Different perspectives lead to different views.” Jiuxiao smiled at Penglai Temple Jiuxiao. “We’ve just joined, so we don’t know them yet. But as the leader of the Flame Chaser, Bronya is definitely angry because you don’t value your own life.”

“Hmm…” Penglai Temple Jiuxiao’s expression softened a little, and he nodded silently.

"Oh dear, it seems that Penglai Temple Nine Heavens needs to rest and recover. I won't disturb you any longer." Seele waved goodbye to Nine Heavens and then patted Penglai Temple Nine Heavens on the shoulder. "Bronya is all bark and no bite; she actually cares about you a lot. Get some rest, and when you're rested enough, you can come to the command room to find me. I'll show you around the Firemoth."

--------------

Penglai Temple's Jiuxiao sat alone on the bed, lost in thought for a long time. Finally, he made up his mind, opened the inner door, and called out to Jiuxiao, who was lying on the bed, seemingly pondering something.

"I'm too weak, brother, I want to become stronger."

Jiuxiao flicked away the iron block he was fiddling with, stood up and looked at Penglai Temple.

There are many ways to become stronger, but are you prepared to bear the price of becoming stronger?

"I have lost my memory, lost my past. Since I had nothing to begin with, what price can I not bear?"

Jiuxiao and Penglai Temple Jiuxiao exchanged a smile.

Soon after, a chilling scream, enough to send shivers down your spine, came from Jiu Xiao's and the other's room.
