I, the Rock King Emperor with 21 billion in power, have joined the chat group.

Paimon was enthusiastically promoting his food.

Before her stood a handsome young man with fair skin, delicate features, and a small, scarlet teardrop-shaped gem embedded in his forehead. His right arm was bare, covered with blue tattoo patterns.

He wore a terrifying demon mask on his back and three jade pendants hanging from his waist.

He gives the impression of being an extraordinary person.

This young man is none other than Xiao, the legendary demon-slaying sage and guardian general of Liyue.

He is now eating food specially prepared and purchased by the traveler while listening to the traveler's explanation.

After a while, the food was finished, and the traveling girl had finished speaking.

Xiao straightened up again, his face still cold and stern, without showing much emotional fluctuation.

His eyes swept over the traveler and Paimon, his arms crossed over his chest, his tone full of doubt.

"Emperor Yan... has actually met with such a calamity??"

"I...cannot imagine it. No matter how times change, I have never imagined Liyue without the Emperor."

"What role do the seven stars that govern the human realm play in all of this?"

"What is the purpose of these so-called external principles and apostles...?"

"But I have a slightly different opinion..."

"How about this, I'll go find Lord Liuyun and Lord Lishui and Lord Dieshan to have a talk, and then find an opportunity to go directly to Liyue Harbor, find the Seven Stars of Liyue, and have a detailed discussion with them."

"Don't worry, although I am the Great Sage Who Subdues Demons, I am not an unreasonable person and will not directly suppress Liyue Harbor."

Paimon and the Traveler exchanged a glance, visibly relieved.

They were about to say something.

A voice that sounded somewhat familiar suddenly came from the sky.

"Hey! You down there, buddy!"

The traveler and Paimon instinctively looked up at the sky and saw a girl dressed in a red and white shrine maiden outfit and wearing a demon mask leisurely eating an apple in the clouds.

"who??"

Xiao also looked up at the same time.

He frowned, looking at the priestess in the sky, then turned to the traveler beside him after a moment: "Traveler, is this the priestess you mentioned who appeared when the Rock King was murdered?"

The young female traveler quickly nodded.

“How…” Xiao took a deep breath.

"How dare you show me such contempt!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he raised his spear straight up.

A fierce wind swept in, and the world trembled.

An endless storm enveloped the young immortal's body, and in an instant, he stepped into the heights of the heavens.

His spear, imbued with an unparalleled storm, tore through all the clouds in the sky, and in the blink of an eye, he was in front of Reimu Hakurei.

Reimu was clearly startled.

However, amidst the barrage of bullets in Gensokyo, her honed technique of never being hit in the waist allowed her to escape unscathed.

The spear missed its mark, and the young immortal's expression shifted as he gently turned the spear tip.

A terrifying storm swept across the sky along his spear blade, tearing the sky above the Wangshu Inn in two.

Beneath these wild wind blades was Reimu Hakurei, who was unable to dodge in time.

"Hey! Hey~~!" the girl shouted exaggeratedly, "Your power is not on the same level as those True Monarchs!"

As she spoke, a double barrier swirled around her, blocking the raging blades.

Click, click!

Although the barrier kept breaking, it was enough for Reimu Hakurei to escape.

"Dream Symbol 'Dream Subterranean Cave'"

In the blink of an eye, her figure disappeared from Xiao's sight.

The next second, we were high in the sky, a kilometer away.

"Hey, hey, this guy's not even in the same league!!" Reimu Hakurei shouted behind her.

"Ugh! It's so noisy."

Along with this arrogant voice, a different kind of gale descended once more. Compared to the young immortal's azure storm, the storm brought by the white-haired youth was even more unrestrained and wild.

"I am Accelerator, and you are the Great Sage Equaling Heaven?"

The young immortal remained silent, calmly gazing at the two opposite him. On the spear in his hand, endless azure storms swirled and gathered.

The tattoos on his body seemed to come alive, transforming into pure black streams of energy that swirled around him.

Then, he reached behind him, took out the Yaksha mask, and put it on his face.

The surging, ominous blackness mingled with the azure torrents, forming a terrifying image on his body that resembled a demon, a yaksha, or a mythical king.

"I am!!"

The wind howled as it called out his name, and his body accelerated to its limit in an instant, leaving a long trail of mixed black and blue in his wake.

The power, far exceeding the speed of sound, made the spear in his hand terrifyingly powerful.

"The Great Sage Who Subdues Demons!"

Wow!

The whirlwind stirred up by Accelerator was almost instantly shattered by this spear.

"Yaksha! Guardian General!"

Black, raging energy swirled in the wind, yet even at such rapid speed, the young immortal could still freely twist and change the movement of his spear.

In an instant, he turned and swung the spears he held in both hands at the forehead of Yifangtongxing, whose head was being shattered by the raging wind.

This kind of unrestrained technique is more like using a club than a spear.

"Emperor Yan, please sit down!"

The young immortal felt the strange sensation coming from the spear in his hand, and then looked at Accelerator, who had a ferocious smile on his face beneath the spear.

His cold and stern expression remained unchanged.

"Golden-Winged Roc!"

His wrist trembled slightly, and Accelerator, who had just been smiling, was sent flying backwards.

A few drops of blood seeped from the corner of Yifangtong's mouth.

"You! You heretics and demons!"

The young immortal's figure swelled once more, and he once again used his spear as a staff to sweep out at Accelerator, who was still in mid-air and unable to gain any leverage.

Accelerator's reflection was completely ineffective, and he was instead slammed into the ground once again.

"I will surely slaughter them all!"

The young immortal held a gun in one hand, his body turned upside down, the gun tip pointing downwards, and then a sky-blue gale swept up his spirit, spinning as he suddenly descended.

The wind kept gathering as it descended, tearing apart elements from all directions.

Finally, it all coalesced at the tip of the young immortal's spear!

Accelerator, still in a daze and in pain, noticed the tip of the young immortal's spear.

In an instant, it dawned on me!

If he gets hit, he'll die!!!

Vector manipulation couldn't save him, as he himself said.

Chapter Twenty-Two: Ambush

Faced with the potential threat of death, Accelerator's smile only grew more pronounced.

Black and white particles suddenly appeared, coiling behind him into magnificent wings.

It roared and crashed into the celestial spear that was descending from the sky.

Boom!

A deafening roar echoed across the sky.

The sky-blue gale and black and white particles were scattered everywhere.

Several raging tornadoes suddenly appeared out of nowhere on the earth, raging and blowing in all directions.

Countless plumes of dust and rocks surged up, and the entire earth seemed to tremble.

As the dust settled, Accelerator and the Great Sage Equaling Heaven stood upright, neither appearing to have suffered serious injury.

Standing firmly on the ground, the young immortal kicked the spear, which had been pointing downwards, and gracefully readjusted its position.

Not far in front of him was Accelerator, whose forehead was oozing a few drops of blood.

Black and white wings fluttered behind him, while a bluish-white halo flickered above his head.

"An overseas demon god??" the young immortal asked indifferently.

"Just an ordinary human!" Accelerator stood arrogantly with his hands in his pockets, as if the attack he had just suffered was nothing to him.

The young immortal fell silent, his body suddenly trembled, and he turned around, appearing in front of Accelerator in the next instant.

This speed was faster than Accelerator's eyes could see.

Bang~!

Like hitting a baseball, the spear swept across, and Accelerator was sent flying again.

He twirled his spear, changing from a sweeping motion to a thrusting one. At the very tip of the spear, a tiny ripple transformed into a blue liquid-like substance that flowed continuously.

Swish!
