I'm in Genshin Impact, and I started by teaming up with Luna.

The reason why the Ten Thousand Ghosts Assassin never fails is primarily due to his superior strength and assassination skills. However, the prey itself is even more crucial.

Take Yura for example. When she saw six Hilichurls, her first reaction was to fight. She didn't seem to care much about it, and she didn't put in 100% of her strength to fight them. She also didn't care whether she was surrounded or not.

She needed to be wary of other ambushes around her, and more importantly, she could kill any six ordinary Hilichurls at will.

The Demon Slayer takes advantage of this. Hilichurls are known for their low intelligence, so even when facing a strong opponent, they can use this to launch a series of fatal attacks unexpectedly.

Once the fight is over, as long as the skill difference isn't too great, the opponent will most likely be seriously injured or dead.

Once the other party realizes something is wrong, it's too late for them to escape or fight back; the only outcome is death.

Wu Qiu knew this, so he decisively pulled Yura back to avoid being surrounded. If they were surrounded, Yura might die before she even had a chance to use her true strength.

Chapter 116: Yura's Strength

"Hey, be careful, these aren't ordinary Hilichurls."

Wu Qiu spoke cautiously from behind. Actually, even without Wu Qiu's reminder, Yura already realized that what she was facing was definitely not simple.

Not only the attack just now, but also the behavior of these Hilichurls now makes Yura have to be on her guard.

You should know that Hilichurls would never have done this before. They would just charge forward mindlessly and be easily killed in the end.

"I understand. Leave the rest to me."

As she finished speaking, Yura took a few steps forward and raised her greatsword. Ice elements gathered around her, causing the surrounding temperature to drop.

A series of icy currents spread out, and three ice swords coalesced behind Yura. At this moment, Yura had undergone a complete transformation compared to before.

Compared to before, Yura now resembles a knight more than ever. And a powerful knight who gives her all.

Wu Qiu was naturally ignored by the Ten Thousand Ghosts Assassins. Of the two diamond-level assassins and four gold-level assassins they had, the most threatening one was still Yura.

Wu Qiu observed that the diamonds were all level 40 or higher, while the gold ones were all level 30, their combat power already very close to that of Yura.

In a one-on-one situation, Yura could easily crush a diamond-level assassin. But with six opponents, things become much more complicated.

Their teamwork was excellent, something both Yura and Wu Qiu could easily see. That's where the tricky part lies.

"Just now, although the Hilichurl with the diamond mask was stronger, it was the Hilichurl with the gold mask who actually attacked and killed him."

"Therefore, I deduce that they did this to mislead us, to make us focus all our attention on the Diamond Hilichurls. But in reality, they are just the blade; the real blade is the four Golden Hilichurls."

As she spoke, Yura turned her head slightly and said, "Be careful. Although they seem to be ignoring you, I don't think they've really given up on you. After all, using you to distract me is a pretty good option."

Yura truly lives up to her reputation as an elite knight; she analyzed so much from just a few rounds of attacks. Wu Qiu wasn't sure if it was accurate, but it was probably pretty close.

"I'm going!"

Before Wu Qiu could recover from his exclamation, Yura leaped forward. She was incredibly fast and seemed like a reckless brute.

However, from her graceful steps, Wu Qiu could tell that although it was a direct charge, Yura could change the direction of her attack at any time, so she didn't need to worry about being surrounded or ambushed.

"spread."

Seeing Yura charge forward, the six Hilichurls scattered in unison. At the same time, two Diamond-level Hilichurls, wielding short swords, launched a fierce attack on Yura from different directions.

Yura showed no fear whatsoever, completely ignoring the four scattered Gold-rank Hilichurls. She focused all her attention on the Diamond-rank Hilichurl assassin in front of her.

The clash of the greatsword and the dagger scattered ice flowers everywhere. Although the Diamond Hilichurl Slayer seemed incredibly powerful, Yura became even more determined in her decision.

The two Hilichurls in front of her worked together seamlessly, seemingly aiming straight for vital points with every attack. However, Yura still noticed that they were more interested in completely drawing Yura's attention and making her reveal weaknesses while she was fighting.

Every human has weaknesses. Yura knew that if she continued fighting like this, things could get complicated.

So she deliberately created an opening. And in that instant, the moment Yura's opening appeared, two figures appeared behind her almost instantly, their two short swords swift, accurate, and ruthless.

And they attacked from different places. One was aimed at her neck, while the other was aimed at her back.

Furthermore, the two Diamond Hilichurl assassins in front also launched an attack. Unlike before, this time they abandoned all defense and attacked desperately.

This was the decisive blow; their attack frequency wasn't consistent, but rather they landed one after another.

If they were all together, Yura could potentially neutralize them all at once. But that's not possible now.

If Yura reacts quickly enough to block the blow to her neck, then her back will be an opening she cannot defend against.

Even if Yura has special means to defend against these two attacks, the Diamond Hilichurl's two subsequent attacks will still arrive one after the other, and each will land fatal and different places.

By exploiting one flaw, one can instantly create four more. Even someone as prepared as Yura would be killed in that instant, let alone someone unaware of the danger.

However, Yura was clearly not among those people. Moreover, Yura also clearly realized that although their attacks had no flaws, they were also unable to make any defensive preparations in order to launch such extreme attacks.

If that's the case, then that's their weakness. Thinking about this, and looking at the current situation, Yura couldn't help but smile.

A series of whooshing sounds rang out, and the two Golden Hilichurl assassins, who thought they had succeeded, froze in shock. Two ice swords suddenly appeared before them, instantly blocking their attacks.

The two Diamond Hilichurl Slayers in front were also taken aback, but their hands didn't stop moving, and they seized the opportunity to stab at Yura.

"late."

As Yura spun around to dodge the attack, a series of chilling currents instantly converged as she gripped her sword.

The greatsword also glowed with a white light. Then, it suddenly grew larger, transforming into a greatsword of ice in an instant.

"Solid ice, stopped tides!"

With a single swing of her sword, the air itself trembled. The weather had been quite hot, but after Yura swung her sword, the surroundings instantly froze, and the chill seeped into one's very bones.

This caused great suffering to the four Hilichurls that had been surrounding her. The Golden Hilichurl Killer was instantly frozen solid, and then exploded the next second.

The Diamond Hilichurl assassins, though powerful enough to survive the attack, were certainly not in good shape.

One of them had barely landed when a lightsaber suddenly appeared from the side and pierced its throat. Just like that, three of the four attacking Hilichurls died in an instant, leaving only one heavily wounded Hilichurl assassin to escape.

Hilichurl assassins are very strong, but that's just assassination. If an assassination fails, their chances of success are very low.

Yura is clearly very strong, far beyond what they can handle. Having missed their best opportunity, they have virtually no chance of winning.

Meanwhile, Wu Qiu was still being chased by two Golden Hilichurl assassins. They were chasing him relentlessly, and Wu Qiu's legs were practically flying as he ran.

Just now, as Yura charged forward, two Hilichurls rushed towards Wu Qiu. Knowing he was outmatched, Wu Qiu turned and ran.

It was obvious they were determined to capture Wu Qiu. Wu Qiu certainly couldn't be the one holding them back, so he ran with all his might.

But Wu Qiu wasn't just running around mindlessly. He was actually quite puzzled: Yura didn't have the ability to condense ice and forge anything, so where did the ice sword come from?

Using ice elements to gather them? That's difficult, and it requires a lot of ice elements. But Yura's ice swords were easily condensed, and although the number was small, it was not much different from Shuanglin's.

Then, after observation, Wu Qiu realized that it wasn't an ice sword at all, but a lightsaber. It absorbed the power emanating from the surrounding area based on ice element.

For example, the impact force during a collision. Therefore, the longer Yura fights, the stronger her lightsaber will become, and if she has enough power, she can unleash it instantly.

Chapter 117: The Altar

Yura defeated her opponent with overwhelming strength. Wu Qiu, on the other hand, clearly didn't possess that level of power.

But he is not the same person he used to be. At least, Wu Qiu can fight back when facing these monsters.

The Hilichurls are faster than Wu Qiu, but they're not as... well, not as good at movement.

Having found a stone pillar, Wu Qiu then staged a modern-day version of the King of Qin circling the pillar. He jumped left and right, striking poses, looking incredibly smug.

The problem is, while King Qin circled around one person, Wu Qiu was facing two Hilichurls. After half a minute of self-satisfied bouncing around, Wu Qiu was cornered.

Dodging the oncoming knife, Wu Qiu raised the brick and swung it around, smashing it against the golden mask!

The Golden Hilichurl Killer probably didn't expect Wu Qiu to suddenly retaliate. Caught off guard, it took the hit.

He stumbled back several steps. Wu Qiu immediately pounced on him, pinning the Hilichurl assassin down as he raised the brick.

After a flurry of pats, Wu Qiu didn't hesitate to hug the Hilichurl Slayer and deliberately rolled around in a ball. When the other Golden Hilichurl Slayer approached, it saw the two of them rolling around.

Just imagine that scene. A bunch of people rolling around together. And most importantly, there's someone standing next to them, holding a short knife as if to stab, but then not doing it, and just standing there scratching their head.

In fact, given the Hilichurl Slayer's experience, it's unlikely he'd mistakenly stab someone in this situation. But the problem was Wu Qiu's irregular twisting movements, just like that of the demon, writhing around in all sorts of bizarre poses, and dragging the Golden Hilichurl Slayer along with him, causing the demon to watch for a long time, completely clueless about where to begin.

"Alright, let's stall until Yura arrives." That's what Wu Qiu was thinking, but the other side was clearly not stupid either. After realizing that Wu Qiu was stalling for time, the Golden Hilichurl assassin, who was under Wu Qiu's control, spoke up.

"Let's do it!"

Those two words were spoken with such grand ambition. After saying them, the guy tensed up with all his might, making Wu Qiu's movements freeze.

Without hesitation, the standing Hilichurl raised its dagger and stabbed at Wu Qiu. From this position, the dagger would first pierce the abdomen of the golden Hilichurl assassin above, then travel downwards and finally stab Wu Qiu's precious genitals.

Wu Qiu's hair stood on end. He released the Qiuqiu and took a few steps back. Then he clearly felt a chill run through his lower body; it was so close!

"You, you're so ruthless! Don't you know how important that thing is to a man? And you even killed your own person, you're absolutely inhuman."

Wu Qiu pointed at him. The Hilichurl assassin threw away the corpse in his hand and stepped forward without any hesitation.

Without any dialogue, cleanly and decisively, he was about to kill Wu Qiu, without saying another word.

"Your teammates are all dead, and that diamond-level player even escaped! Besides, weren't you guys initially going to capture me and threaten Yura? Why are you suddenly trying to kill me now?"

"I think you're too damn annoying! I'm going to die anyway, so I'll kill you, you slut, even if I die!"

Finally, the Golden Hilichurl Assassin spoke. As he spoke, he raised his short sword and charged at Wu Qiu as if Wu Qiu were dragging his wife into a river.

Seeing this, Wu Qiu felt a chill creeping into his right arm. Now was not the time to show off; any more recklessness and he'd be truly finished.

Whoosh!

"Uh……"

Just at the most critical moment, a whooshing sound came from the air, followed by a muffled groan from the Hilichurl Slayer. Then Wu Qiu saw a lightsaber pierce through the Hilichurl Slayer's chest, ending his life.

A figure appeared in front of Wu Qiu. The alluring figure and long legs made Wu Qiu's eyes widen and he couldn't help but stare at her for a few more moments.

"Are you alright? I didn't expect you to hold on until now. You're very good, a promising talent."

Wu Qiu stood up, dusted himself off, and looked at the Hilichurl assassin killed by Yura. "They should be opponents you've never encountered before, right? But why did you seem so relaxed?"

“No, not at all.” Yura shook her head. “It’s just on the surface. Actually, it’s quite dangerous, and they are indeed very difficult to deal with. It’s just that I’m not good at handling these kinds of unexpected situations…”

Boom!

Just as Yura and Wu Qiu were chatting after their battle, a muffled sound suddenly came from afar. Then, Wu Qiu and the others saw a huge whirlwind rise up, and the sky over that area darkened.

"what happened?"

Yura looked at the sky. Wu Qiu then spoke up, "How about we go call someone first..."

Faced with this situation, Wu Qiu's instinctive thought was to call for help and hand it over to the Knights. But Yura completely ignored him, frowned, and ran over.

Helpless, Wu Qiu followed. Following Yura, Wu Qiu saw a watchtower ahead.

This must be the watchtower that was occupied by the Hilichurls. But at this moment, there wasn't a single Hilichurl in the watchtower; it was completely empty, as if it had been abandoned.
