"I……"
Wu Qiu didn't even have the strength to curse anymore; he truly hadn't expected the escape to be so difficult. One after another, when would it ever end?
Ying grabbed Wu Xiang Feng Zai and stood in front of Wu Qiu. Wu Xiang Feng Zai's two stones transformed into palms and came together, catching the blade bare-handed.
"Um, Sister Ying, you don't have to do this. When you're saving your man, can't you consider other people's feelings?"
Wu Xiang Feng Zai swallowed hard; if he weren't an elemental being, he probably would have been sweating. The longsword was now positioned above Wu Xiang Feng Zai's crystal core, below Wu Qiu's neck.
Before he could react, Ying grabbed him and shielded him. If Wuxiang Fengzai hadn't reacted quickly, it would have resulted in the deaths of both him and his unborn child.
"Wait a minute! An..."
Wu Qiu wanted to speak, but it was clear that the Amber with rabbit ears in front of him was not a living being. Behind him, Wu Qiu clearly sensed a dangerous aura.
"Vast Fire, Blazing Rain!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a burst of fire shot into the sky, then split into smaller sparks that instantly obscured the sky, raining down like a red meteor shower.
"Fengzai, round shield!"
Wu Qiu snatched Wu Xiang Feng Zai from his hand, and a huge Captain America round shield appeared in his mind.
A flash of blue light appeared, and Wu Qiu raised his hand, lifting the huge and heavy round shield. Fortunately, Feng Zai helped him; otherwise, Wu Qiu would never have been able to lift such a heavy object.
The sound of arrows whistling through the air was incessant. Wu Qiu could clearly feel the rain of arrows hitting his shield; each arrow exploded into a spark. Although the individual arrows weren't very powerful, their sheer number made up for it.
"Count of Blade Shadow!"
Amber's voice rang out again from afar. Then, Wu Qiu and the others felt a flash before their eyes, and a figure was already in front of them.
Holding the sword in a reverse grip, Count Blade Shadow was already in front of them. Suddenly, he transformed into a blur and vanished from his spot, circling them three times in the blink of an eye.
As Wu Qiu circled, he also noticed that Earl of the Blade Shadow had drawn a perfect circle on the ground. It was a fiery red circle, very small, just a trace.
But the instant Count Blade Shadow stopped, a burst of flame suddenly shot out from the tiny crack, and together with the gale generated by Count Blade Shadow, it actually formed a fire tornado.
His view was blocked for a moment, and Wu Qiu had no idea what was happening outside. He was completely dumbfounded. "Is Amber really that awesome? This is outrageous."
But now was no time to surprise them. The rain of arrows ended, Wu Qiu put away his round shield, raised his right hand, and slammed it to the ground.
A ring of ice exploded, instantly scattering the flames that were obstructing the view. But before Wu Qiu could even rejoice, he witnessed a scene that astonished everyone.
Just then, the Count of Blades sheathed his swords at his waist with both hands, and crouched slightly. The surrounding flames gathered towards him like a gentle breeze.
Soon, Countess Blade Shadow was completely bathed in flames, like a war goddess of fire. The blade in her hand, too, was engulfed in flames and appeared to have grown larger.
"This is Sister Ying's..."
Wu Qiu was dumbfounded. Although it was different, wasn't this Ying's Spirit Wind Broken Dance?
Clearly, Amber had learned a new skill from Luminous's abilities. Therefore, Wu Qiu initiated the investigation.
It's unclear whether he was showing off or just for visual effect. As Wu Qiu activated his detection, a line of words formed from flames appeared behind Count Blade Shadow.
"Vast Fire. Flame Blade Ghost Flash".
"Watch out!" Sensing danger, Ying stopped hiding, pushed aside Wu Qiu and the others behind her, and appeared with a single hand gesture, revealing a gust of wind.
All of this happened in an instant; Ying's movements were fluid and seamless, but after she finished, Count Daoying had already moved.
With a speed imperceptible to the naked eye, it transformed into a red streak and flashed before Ying, its long sword swinging out without hesitation.
Boom! A burst of fire instantly engulfed Ying's figure. But Wu Qiu wasn't worried; this attack shouldn't be dangerous for Ying. He just hoped she wouldn't get hurt.
The flames rose quickly, but also dissipated just as fast. When the wind element burst forth on Ying, the flames were extinguished in an instant.
Looking at the field, Ying had blocked the attack with Wind Trace and was unharmed. Clearly, it was virtually impossible for Count Blade Shadow to injure Ying, who was wielding Wind Trace.
Moreover, after a few seconds of stalemate, the longsword in Count Blade Shadow's hand shattered with a bang, clearly indicating that it was not a very strong weapon.
"Ok!"
Just when Ying thought it was over, several figures suddenly flashed out from the Count of Blades. Upon closer inspection, they were three red, transparent figures, like shadows, representing the Count of Blades.
It was formed from the convergence of fire elements. In that instant, the three surrounded Ying, wielding longswords made of elemental energy, and attacked her from three directions.
With a determined clench of her teeth, Ying reversed the wind pattern, unleashing a gust of wind that instantly crushed three figures. However, the powerful explosion also sent Ying flying backward.
Count Blade Shadow was also blasted away, and the two sides were temporarily separated. Wu Qiu stepped forward and quickly caught Ying.
Ying immediately steadied herself once she found a point of contact. She then pushed Wu Qiu back again, and Ying stood up once more.
But just as she stood up, a gust of wind swept over her, and Ying stopped, as did everyone else. A flaming arrow was pressed against Ying's neck.
Amber was already in front of him, her eyes filled with ferocity, her longbow fully drawn, ready to kill Ying if she let go.
The reason Amber didn't make a move was because Wind Scar was already pressed against her neck. If she did, Firefly could kill her in an instant.
"Hey, hey, stop hitting, stop hitting, don't be impulsive."
Paimon rushed forward. Upon hearing this voice, Amber, whose eyes had been filled with seriousness and fierceness, froze. She then looked down at Windmark, and then at Ying, whose eyes clearly showed helplessness. Amber seemed to understand something.
"You...you...it's you!"
Ying removed her mask, revealing a wry smile, and nodded. Wu Qiu stepped forward and knocked away the weapons they were still holding, saying, "Hey, put them down, put them down, it's all a misunderstanding."
"It really is you! But why... just now, I..."
Amber was at a loss, thinking about her fierce attack just now. Looking at the bow and arrow still burning in her hand, Amber's face turned red.
Quickly putting away the longbow, Amber clasped her hands together and said, "I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to, I really didn't expect this..."
As she spoke, she seemed to remember something, "But, why would you..."
Before she could finish her question, another burst of footsteps came from the other side, clearly indicating that the battle here had attracted the attention of the Knights of Favonius.
"You all go quickly, I'll deal with them."
Amber waved her hand and spoke. Paimon scratched his head, "You trust us that much? We're criminals being chased by the Knights."
"Of course, we're friends, aren't we? I believe you." After saying that, Amber adjusted her goggles, revealing a bright white smile.
After saying that, Amber turned and left. Wu Qiu and the others, secretly moved, headed back towards the Angel's Gift Tavern.
Chapter 135: The Angel's Gift Tavern
Amber left. Watching her walk away, Wu Qiu was moved on one hand, and on the other hand, she jumped back and grabbed Wendy, who was hiding behind her.
"Hey! That's not very fair of you, is it? We were being chased because of you, and now you're just hiding in the back?"
"Hehe." Wendy gave a very easygoing smile. "Don't get so excited. I'm not in a good position right now. I can't exactly attack the people of Mondstadt, can I?"
"Besides, you've managed to get away with it quite cleverly, which shows that you're quite reliable and don't need me at all."
Shameless! He's so shameless! Wu Qiu was about to beat him up. But then he thought he probably couldn't win, and he didn't have time to waste on them.
He turned and continued towards the Angel's Gift Tavern. Midway, Wu Qiu considered changing his clothes, but had no opportunity, and since Ying and Paimon were both girls, there was nowhere for them to change.
They jogged along until they reached a spot not far from the Angel's Gift Tavern. Since they couldn't change clothes, they also had to wear masks, otherwise their true identities would be exposed if they were spotted.
The tavern was crowded at the moment, as Wu Qiuguang could tell from the noise. But that was normal; the Angel's Gift Tavern always seemed to be packed.
However, just as everyone was cautiously moving in that direction, a person suddenly appeared in front of them.
To be precise, the person had been leaning against the wall the whole time, but there were some miscellaneous items around so Wu Qiu and the others hadn't seen him. Now that they saw him come out, Wu Qiu felt a chill in his heart.
Black clothes, red hair, Diluc!
Diluc raised his hand, and a burst of fire erupted, clearly indicating he was about to attack. Wu Qiu, sweating profusely, hurriedly waved and shouted, "Grandpa Diluc! Don't attack!"
Diluc stopped after saying that. He felt the voice was familiar and quickly realized it sounded like Wu Qiu's voice; after all, Wu Qiu's shout during the Stormterror's attack was really loud.
Seeing Diluc stop, Wu Qiu's heart finally settled. It wasn't so bad that Noelle and Amber hadn't stopped him in time, but Diluc was a different story.
If we're talking about people currently in Mondstadt, Klee is definitely the most destructive. But if we're talking about individual strength, Diluc is undoubtedly the strongest, even stronger than Jean Gaia and Yura. Of course, this excludes Abelard, since he hasn't really fought much and his true strength hasn't been revealed.
If Diluc were to act like Amber and attack without hesitation, they would be in real danger. After all, Diluc poses a significant threat when ambushed.
"you."
Diluc simply uttered two words, remaining as aloof as ever. Approaching, Wu Qiu immediately removed his mask and grabbed Diluc's shoulder, crying, "Help! Help! Help, Master Diluc!"
Wu Qiu's heart pounded during the chase. Diluc, however, crossed his arms and simply uttered three words: "Don't touch me."
Then a burst of flame shot out from his shoulder, forcing Wu Qiu back.
"Come with me."
With another simple sentence, Diluc turned and walked towards the tavern. It must be said, the Angel's Gift Tavern was truly bustling and doing brisk business.
Wu Xiang Feng Zai returned to Wu Qiu's body. They entered quietly through the back door, without attracting anyone's attention.
Upon entering a room that resembled a storage room, Diluc left with the words, "Change your clothes and stay on the second floor."
Diluc then went out. Wu Qiu and the others exchanged a glance, then, without thinking too much about it, they all prepared to change their clothes.
Wu Qiu went out first to let Ying and Paimeng change their clothes. After they finished changing, Wu Qiu went in to change as well. They moved quickly, afraid of attracting attention.
However, when Wu Qiu and his group arrived on the second floor, they found that the once noisy tavern was deserted. Upon closer inspection, it seemed to have closed.
Looking down, several Favonius Knights are chatting with Diluc. It's unclear what they're saying, but the Knights of Favonius each performed a knightly salute and then turned and left.
"Hey, it seems like everything's alright now. Let's go down and take a look."
After saying that, Wendy ran downstairs. Reaching the bar, she smiled slightly at Diluc, then looked inside. "I'm so thirsty from running around. Hey, want to buy us a drink?"
After saying that, he shamelessly looked at Diluc. Wu Qiu and Ying both covered their faces, and Paimon whispered, "Is he really a god?"
Wu Qiu nodded. "There's no way I'm wrong, this guy is very Barbatos."
"Hey, don't look at me like that. I heard you have a rare collection of fine wines. So, are you looking for a friend? Can we be friends?"
Diluc ignored Venti and turned to look at Wu Qiu and Ying who were walking down. At the same time, he drew the Favonius Greatsword with one hand.
Clang! The West Wind Greatsword slammed into the ground, piercing a hole in it.
"I feel I need an explanation."
It's simple and clear. The meaning is very simple: either give me an explanation, or I'll chop you all up right now. Choose.
Wu Qiu swallowed hard, then looked at Wendy. Wendy coughed lightly. "A story deserves fine wine, don't you think?"
A few minutes later, Wendy put down her violin, picked up a glass of chilled grape wine, and took a big gulp.
Wendy's singing and speaking are similar to those in the game, but the feeling they evoke is completely different. Wendy's singing and storytelling are truly beautiful; no wonder she's become the most popular bard.
"So, you stole the Sky Harp and caused such a commotion all to end this Dragon Plague, but ultimately failed for various reasons, is that right?"
