In Genshin Impact, I'm really not Muzan.

Do you remember the assassination of the Geo Archon during the Summoning Ceremony two years ago? The whole of Liyue was plunged into extreme panic, and many people lost hope in life, especially the older generation.

However, as time went on, people discovered that even without the Geo Archon, Liyue could continue to function and was even more prosperous than before, a development that surprised everyone.

The god who faked his death and retired must have been very pleased, like a child who had always been sheltered under his wings finally learning how to fly.

Suddenly, Suzumiya Yu felt a jolt in his heart. Without anyone noticing, he turned around and looked at the distant sea.

Her blood-red eyes gradually deepened, and Suzumiya Yu's expression hardened slightly: "Something in the sea is approaching this way."

These words startled everyone present, except for the Seven Stars of Liyue, whose expressions remained relatively calm. It seemed that they had anticipated what would happen today.

"They really came," Ningguang murmured. She stepped forward and waved her hand. "Everyone, begin the operation according to the pre-arranged plan!"

Soon, the Seven Stars all began to take action, and Ke Qing was no exception. Without saying a word, she grabbed Liang Gongyou's hand and quickly left Qunyu Pavilion.

......

The once clear sky suddenly turned into a thick cloud cover, and the whole world seemed to be shrouded in darkness. Before the residents of Liyue Harbor could react to what was happening, they saw a group of Thousand Rock soldiers organizing the dispersal of their people.

"Ba Che is about to show up, we need to hurry to the pre-prepared attack point." Ke Qing ran quickly down the street, with Liang Gongyou following behind her, listening to the current situation.

With Ba Che about to appear, the Liyue Seven Stars, who have long been prepared for this, have begun their deployment.

Liang Gongyou and his group acted as the vanguard, intercepting Ba Che at a pre-prepared attack location, while the real killing move was the Qunyu Pavilion.

To prevent a repeat of the previous incident during the reconstruction of the Jade Pavilion, Ningguang specially prepared many large-scale weapons of mass destruction, even more powerful than the Returning to the End mechanism developed by the immortals.

However, even so, Ningguang and the others were not confident that they could absolutely defeat Bache. If it really came down to a life-or-death situation, the spectacular scene of the Jade Orb moving might be repeated once again.

Soon, Suzumiya Yu and her group arrived at Lonely Cloud Pavilion by boat. It was quite a distance from Liyue Harbor, so it took them a considerable amount of time.

Fortunately, Ba Che did not appear so quickly. Instead, it created many water tornadoes on the sea, which soared into the sky and looked extremely spectacular.

Liang Gongyou also felt a bit of pressure at this moment. After all, Ba Che was the wife of the Demon God. Even if she was not as strong as him, she was still an opponent that should not be underestimated.

On the Lonely Cloud Pavilion side, a Thousand Rock Army squad led by Gan Yu was already on high alert. Beside them was a row of crossbows, all of which were improved Returning Machines, capable of causing substantial damage even to demon gods.

"Lord Keqing, everyone is ready to attack and is just waiting for your order." Gan Yu stepped forward to speak with Keqing as soon as she arrived.

“Very good. Let them continue like this. Ba Che should appear soon. The great battle is about to begin. The healing medicine that I asked you to prepare at Bu Bu Lu should be ready by now.”

Not long ago, Keqing ordered people to purchase a large quantity of healing medicines from Bubulu, in order to prevent people from being injured without any means of treatment.

“Everything is ready,” Gan Yu replied.

Having received the answer she wanted, Keqing nodded and then led Suzumiya Yu to the front of the group.

"Do you have any ideas on how to deal with Ba Che?" After a moment of silence, Ke Qing turned to Liang Gongyou.

"Besides relying on strength, what other methods are there?" Ryou's answer was very decisive, which surprised Keqing.

The other party is the wife of a demon god, and her strength is definitely beyond human capabilities. However, Ryou's confident expression made Keqing feel that he was not joking.

It's really strange, even though they haven't spent much time together, Keqing trusts Ryoko Yu completely, so much so that she only doubted it for a moment before immediately nodding.

"Although I don't know where your confidence comes from, if you really can deal with Ba Che, then give it your all. Afterwards, we, the Liyue Seven Stars, will definitely express our sincerest gratitude to you."

It sounds so nice, but is the reward just a simple thank you? Ryou couldn't help but smile, but then she thought that having the Seven Stars of Liyue owe her a favor didn't seem like a bad thing.

......

Suddenly, a bolt of lightning struck down from the sky, hitting the sea directly. The originally turbulent sea surface immediately formed a huge whirlpool.

From within the vortex, a deep rumble resounded, and then a gigantic figure slowly emerged. When it revealed its full form, it was a colossal creature resembling a giant snake.

That was Oser's wife, the lingering power of the vortex, Ba Che.

The appearance of the Bazhe caused the residents of Liyue Harbor, who were initially unaware of what was happening, to immediately begin to flee in all directions, and panic and fear instantly filled the surrounding area.

Fortunately, the Qianyan military had already evacuated some of the crowd, so the situation at the scene was not too difficult to control.

However, the enormous figure on the sea was still enough to send chills down one's spine. Some even mistook Ba Che for Osel because the two looked so alike. It's no wonder they were a couple.

"Roar!" On the sea, the fully revealed Ba Che let out a long roar to the sky, with lightning surging around it. The deafening roar directly shattered the last line of defense in people's hearts.

Some of the more timid even lost the ability to move at this moment, and even some of the less determined members of the Thousand Rock Army began to have thoughts of running away.

Chapter 188 Astonishing Power

One bolt of lightning after another descended from the sky. Because the distance was too close, the Thousand Rock Army squad that was on guard at Lonely Cloud Pavilion was the first to be struck.

Fortunately, the holders of the Geo Vision and the Electro Vision triggered a crystallization reaction after their elemental powers collided.

The purple crystals produced by the crystallization reaction, if picked up, can give people the ability to resist those heavenly lightning strikes, so this operation reduced the damage to personnel.

Ryou Suzumiya stood on the high place, looking up at the huge figure in front of him. His expression was calm, and he simply placed his hand lightly on the hilt of the weapon at his waist.

On the sea, a fully armed fleet suddenly appeared. It was the Southern Cross fleet led by Beidou. Almost every warship was equipped with an improved version of the Returning Machine. They fired wildly at Ba Che in one go.

"put!"

On the other side, Ke Qing and her team were not to be outdone. With a command, countless golden arrows were shot out at the same time, forming a magnificent rain of arrows in the air.

After the visual feast, Ba Che suffered a heavy blow. Gui Zhong Ji is a high-level lethal weapon specially designed to deal with demon gods. Although it is the wife of a demon god, it is not a demon god itself.

Therefore, the continuous attacks caused Ba Che to let out a painful howl, which almost echoed throughout the entire Liyue.

Meanwhile, in the Cloud Realm, the immortals who heard the commotion also began to take action, but they did not show themselves directly, instead hiding in the shadows to observe.

The Seven Stars have replaced the Geo Archon and become the true rulers of Liyue. They want to see if the Seven Stars can withstand a disaster of this magnitude.

"They've finally arrived."

On the Qunyu Pavilion, Ningguang looked at Ba Che, who had finally appeared. Her expression was calm. After entering the attack range, she slowly placed her hand in front of her and raised her index and middle fingers.

"The people of Liyue Harbor must try to overcome this crisis on their own."

In an instant, countless golden lights began to surround Ningguang's body. The next second, with a wave of her hands, countless rock elemental imprints appeared behind the Jade Pavilion, forming a magnificent scene.

Then, one elemental missile after another flew out from those rock elemental imprints, slamming wildly towards the Bache located on the sea surface.

Ba Che, which had already suffered a heavy blow, was now forced to take the hits from these elemental missiles, resulting in even more severe damage.

The continuous attacks from all three sides have indeed played a significant role, and if this continues, they will surely be able to defeat Ba Che.

However, this action thoroughly enraged Ba Che, who was filled with hatred. It let out a piercing roar, and in an instant, the sea and the land trembled at the same time. Not only that, but a huge wave appeared on the sea and rushed straight towards Ke Qing and the others.

Beidou's fleet would also be affected, but with her rich experience in naval warfare, she reacted immediately, turning her ship around and sailing forward, and in just a moment she was out of the range of the waves.

However, Ke Qing and the others were not so lucky, because Gu Yun Pavilion could not move, and they could not escape the attack range of the waves by relying on their own two legs.

Just as everyone was about to suffer, Suzumiya Yu, who had not made a move until now, finally took action.

He looked at the waves before him, powerful enough to shatter a mountain, and calmly drew his weapon from his waist, then took a deep breath.

"Full focus..."

"Breath of Flames - Fourth Form: Vortex of Blazing Flames!"

As Suzumiya Yu swung her sword forward with all her might, a huge vortex of fire appeared out of thin air the next second. Although it was an attack made with such a small blade, its size was no smaller than that of a sea wave.

This is also the effect of Suzumiya Yu using all her strength. Changing the size of the attack at will is just a matter of a thought, but the power will not change.

On the sea surface, a huge vortex of flames came into contact with the waves. The contact between the flames and the seawater immediately began to evaporate water vapor, and in just a moment, the entire surrounding sea area was covered with a layer of mist.

With a single, gentle strike, the crisis was averted. Such immense power left everyone present stunned, including Ke Qing.

Keqing knew that Suzumiya Yu was very strong, but she never expected that he could so easily neutralize an attack of this scale. It was simply a power that no human could possess.

That wasn't all. After deflecting Ba Che's attack with a single strike, Ryouji Yu swung his sword again, but this time, he used a breathing technique he had never used before.

"Full focus..."

"Wind Breathing - Fourth Form - Rising Sandstorm!"

The next second, a powerful hurricane began to form around Ryou's body, and at the same time, he swiftly unleashed five wind blades at a speed that was impossible to see with the naked eye.

The weapons that had been spreading around were instantly blown away, and five wind blades struck Ba Che directly. The power of this attack was far greater than the previous attacks.

The battered creature couldn't help but let out a piercing wail, but Ryou had no intention of giving it a chance to catch its breath.

The breathing technique was activated again, and Suzumiya Yu's blade began to prepare for a devastating blow.

"Breathing of the Moon - Eighth Form - Moon Dragon Tail!"

A massive wave of sword energy slashed out, its surface accompanied by numerous crescent-shaped blades of energy, sweeping across the world and annihilating everything in its path.

The Ba Che is very large, which is enough to inspire fear, but this is also its weakness, because its large size makes it very slow to move.

It knew it couldn't be hit by that sword wave, but it didn't have time to dodge at all, because the sword wave was sweeping too fast, and it had already flown in front of it in less than a breath.

Soon, the sword wave containing destructive power pierced through Ba Che's body. This heavy blow almost killed it, but fortunately it survived thanks to its tenacious vitality.

Fear spread through Ba Che's heart at this moment. Looking at Liang Gongyou, who was no bigger than a grain of sand in front of him, he suddenly felt an extreme sense of oppression from him.

Instinct told it that it had to escape now, or it would die here. In that case, it would not only fail to avenge its husband Osel, but it would also lose its own life.

Thinking of this, Ba Che prepared to escape, but Liang Gongyou also realized this.

Ba Che's strength is not as good as his, but it is definitely not weak. If he were to devour it, he would definitely gain a lot of points. Therefore, Liang Gongyou would not let it escape like this.

Exhaling burning mist, Ryoujiro activated his breathing technique again, and this time, he had no intention of wasting any more time.

Chapter 189 Unexpected Gains

On the sea, Ba Che faced Liang Gongyou, who was preparing to attack again. Unlike the previous two times, this time, it sensed a sense of impending death from her.

This caused it to turn around and start to flee, but how could Liang Gongyou let it have its way?

"Full focus..."

"Sun Breathing - Seventh Form - Yanghua Thrust!"

Crimson flames coiled around the blade as Suzumiya Yu gathered all her strength into the sword and thrust it forward with a fierce strike.

His seemingly insignificant strike caused the void to tremble. The next second, a beam of blazing light containing destructive power shot out, piercing through Ba Che's body in an instant, causing the surrounding temperature to rise by a level.

Not only that, the beam of light that pierced through the clouds shot straight into the sky, and a violent explosion was heard in the sky. The dense dark clouds disappeared in an instant.

Ba Che's life force vanished rapidly at that moment, but Ning Guang and the others did not stop their attack, because they knew very well that this was the best time to eliminate Ba Che.

Seeing that the time was ripe, Suzumiya Yu took a deep breath, then exerted force with both legs, instantly cracking the ground while her figure flew forward rapidly.

In the blink of an eye, he was already in front of Ba Che.
