Regarding the question of whether one thousand lives are enough to beat Honkai Impact 3rd.

Just as the old man had hoped, Su Qing'an gradually began to develop his own unique style of Tai Xuan Liu.

Even if the young man were to match or even surpass him in such a short time, it would absolutely not cause Chen Junxuan to have any negative emotions.

On the contrary, given the old man's nature, he would only feel happy.

I should go see him when I have time. Su Qing'an held this thought in her heart.

He threw a punch.

The giant bear was too weak; it was locked for three seconds, not because it could only be locked for three seconds, but because it did not survive beyond those three seconds.

Tai Xuan Liu O Beng Jin.

With a loud crash, a mangled corpse lay on the ground.

The boy casually used his strength to shake off the blood droplets on his fist, his body remaining spotless as when he arrived.

Immediately, he smiled at Theresa and said:

"Let's go, Headmaster."

"Huh? No, okay!" After a moment of stunned silence, the girl realized what was happening and replied.

Su Qing'an is perhaps stronger than he imagined.

Did his training with Fu Hua during this period help him that much?

Unfortunately, martial arts demands too little talent and comprehension, and the results are too inefficient; very few can reach the level of Fu Hua or Su Qing'an.

Otherwise, she would at least have some idea of ​​popularizing it.

"Where to?" After asking that question, Theresa realized she had said something stupid.

As expected, Su Qing'an immediately gave the answer she had realized.

"Go find our ally, the witch, who is naturally on the same side as us."

"Yae Sakura".

60. Yae Sakura.

Yae Sakura sheathed her sword.

She watched the two leave slowly before gradually changing the way she used to conceal her presence.

That person's martial arts level is very high.

It wouldn't be surprising if they were discovered directly if they didn't do this.

She didn't want to deal with that girl unless absolutely necessary.

The boy's appearance interrupted Yae Sakura's preparation to draw her sword to save the person, so continuing not to appear after that was the best decision.

Because it's best for that girl to avoid any contact with the village.

This girl, who looks so much like Karen, has come to this world that has been reincarnated countless times.

My choice that day has led to this outcome.

Still, there is no escape.

Higokumaru, you should be very tired too.

You probably want to take a nap too.

But even after five hundred years, I still can't make you completely let go?

Perhaps this girl can do it.

But none of that matters anymore.

What destiny, what tragic vows, what obsessions, what good and evil?

It has nothing to do with her anymore.

Yae Sakura smiled, a smile completely different from her usual demeanor.

Not gentle, not elegant, not aloof.

There is only inexplicable danger and strangeness.

This time...

This time, we must rescue Rin.

Regardless of the cost.

The Rin here is nothing but a phantom; the real Rin was killed by her own hands long ago.

Yae Sakura understood this.

Perhaps she was already broken at that time, but during her most empty period, she met the saint named Karen Kaslana.

The saintess gave her true and genuine love, and Yae Sakura cherished it as a treasure.

She absorbed this love, which was far too fleeting and almost like a dream, and stubbornly dragged her will to persevere for five hundred years.

It has been reincarnated hundreds, thousands, and tens of thousands of times, without ever ending.

Just as the outside world realized that Kallen was dead, Kallen Kaslana, inside the Yae Sakura Stigmata Space, also truly died.

She is genuine too.

broken.

Therefore, for Yae Sakura right now, the only important person is Rin.

As for that girl who looks a lot like Karen, what difference does it make if they do?

She was not Karen after all; she was just a stranger she would miss.

Yae Sakura still retains all her memories, but the cherry-haired girl who exists now and the shrine maiden of Changkong City that day may no longer be the same person.

The girl used her knife to cut open the giant bear's carcass, and her spirit sword, named Cherry Blossom Blizzard, easily separated the tough fur and bones.

Finally, she found a piece of skull that had been mostly corroded.

This is why she met Theresa: in order to find the villagers who had been separated from the jungle team in the mountains.

Now, all that remains of this villager is his skull, which barely proves that he was human in life.

Yae Sakura indifferently used the tip of her knife to lift the skull, catching it with a cloth in her other hand.

She severed the bear's two front paws with her spirit blade, then sheathed the blade and left the place without looking back.

Although the village has always lacked food, these mutated beasts are not edible. Their ancestors have proven this with their lives. Anyone who eats them is likely to contract a strange disease and eventually turn into a monster that harms people.

At that time, a shrine maiden who protects the village will be needed.

He was appointed as the second shogun.

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

Su Qing'an and Theresa walked through the mountains and forests, relying on the paths clearly marked by human hands over time and his intuition to make their way towards Yae Village.

He said:

"Headmistress Theresa, let's analyze the current situation."

Theresa nodded in agreement.

"First of all, we can understand that the other party may not be able to attack us directly, so I guess there must be some kind of rule of victory and defeat here. And since the other party is in the advantage now, it is conceivable that this rule must be favorable to the other party."

The girl nodded and said:

"The essence of the Stigmata Space is a data space. Since it is the data most likely to be displayed in the data space, it is naturally related to the holder of the Stigmata."

"Judging from the surrounding terrain, the villagers' language, and the clothes that were automatically replaced on us, this is the ancient Far East."

Su Qing'an glanced at the kimono she was wearing, her expression unchanged.

For him, as long as it doesn't affect the speed of his punches, the appearance of his clothes is a negligible factor.

The girl was also wearing a kimono, but it had a wider variety of colors and a more complex design.

He thought for a moment and then said:

"The place where Yae Sakura is now is very likely the predecessor of Kanbaru Village, Yae Village."

"From the documents and history of Kambara Village, we can see that Yae Village has a foolish custom of sacrificing living people to the gods to pray for rain. Perhaps what we are about to come up with is closely related to this."

Theresa agreed, saying:

"Yae Sakura spent her entire life here. All the joys, hatreds, and sorrows of her life were in this village. This is her Stigmata Space, so it is normal that this place is the manifestation of it."

"Our key point right now is to understand what exactly happened back then."

"If everything in the Stigmata Space is a reflection and recurrence of history, then preventing potential tragedies is one of the factors that leads to victory."

Su Qing'an was silent for a moment, then said:

"Headmistress Theresa, Yae Sakura is a shrine maiden, and her father is the shrine priest, the most powerful person in the entire village."

"Under these conditions, Yae Sakura had a sickly younger sister named Yae Rin."

"But one day, the girl to be sacrificed may have had an accident, and the village could not find a suitable substitute for the sacrifice. Yae Sakura's father, as the head priest, had a pure and virgin girl in the house."

What choice do you think he will make?

Theresa fell silent; she understood the answer and said:

"If the ending is destined to be a tragedy, then the choice of this god is self-evident."

"Yes, you're right. Unlike a great father like Mr. Kanbara, this Yae Shinshu is terrible. He forced Yae Sakura to kill her sister, Yae Rin, with his own hands."

"This is a fragment of memory that Yuno saw when she first encountered the living doll that day."

It also incorporates Su Qing'an's knowledge of the plot and documents from Shenyuan Village; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to find the accurate answer from so many details.

Su Qing'an showed an unhappy expression and continued:

"Headmaster, do you know what's the funniest thing? After we killed Yae Rin, it actually started raining."

Everyone present that day was laughing, except for Yae Sakura, who was crying.

Theresa looked at the village that was not far away and revealed an indescribable expression.
