Star Railway: I'm developing the Star Railway mobile game at my company.

The mighty Milky Way cascaded down, instantly reducing all the characters in the team to only 4 health points. This was clearly even with Yanqing holding back!

[Your skills are truly crude; continuing the fight is pointless...]

Seeing the strength that Master Yanqing displayed in the story, San Yueqi's eyes lit up.

"Wow, Master Yanqing's move was so cool! I want to learn it!"

Upon hearing this, Xing's expression instantly changed to a cold and aloof look, and her voice became stern.

"Little sister, do you want to take my baton?"

"...Uh, try to be normal..."

In the story, seeing that Yanqing was holding back, Rongju asked a question.

[Since that's the case, why not just kill them?]

[Slayed...they? I thought it was just a competition.]

Faced with Yanqing's hesitation, Rongju said that this was nothing but useless mercy. Victory meant life and defeat meant death. Only in this way could they go further.

Seeing that Suiyang was constantly bewitching Yanqing, Sushang stepped forward.

[Hmph, what a fine display of victory and defeat! Putting on the airs of a wise and experienced master, eloquently discussing and judging the merits of swordsmanship, but in reality, they're nothing more than pawns, manipulating people at will and exploiting their competitive spirit to satisfy their bloodlust...]

The Xuanyuan Sword in my hand is a family heirloom. When my mother gave it to me, she said, "A swordsman shouldn't fold too many pieces of paper." I've often wondered what that really meant.

At this point today, I've finally figured it out. Could she be trying to say, "A sword may break, but a will cannot be taken away?"

The battle is still ongoing, so don't presume to conclude that continuing the fight is pointless!

When Su Chang stepped forward, the audience thought it was time for her to shine, but this one sentence made them lose their composure.

"She's still so cultured about papermaking!"

"I was wondering if there was some deeper meaning, but it turns out you just misunderstood, hahaha!"

"Su Chang's mother: I was so angry with my daughter that I fainted.jpg"

"Sister, hehe, I love it when Su Chang calls herself 'sister'!"

"Is Su Chang going to use some powerful account to challenge the Sword God of the Void?!"

"Got it, remember to use Water Dragon's Roar when you get stabbed!"

However, Su Chang did not intend to defeat this genius youth. She just wanted to stall him here so that the others could quickly go and invite the general.

Once they were out of the illusion, Gui Naifen couldn't help but worry.

【Shangshang, my Shangshang, how could she be so foolish...】

But when she shielded Yanqing for us, her back view was truly captivating.

Seeing the critical situation, the group quickly found Jing Yuan, who was idly idling, and brought him to Yan Qing.

Fortunately, Su Chang had not yet fallen and was still confronting Yan Qing.

[You spent so much time fighting against a swordsman of such vastly different strength. As a swordsman, don't you have any self-respect? Is the crushing defeat at the Dragon Prayer Altar going to be repeated?]

It's time to act; only blood can wash away the shame on the sword.

The Suiyang Torch kept tempting Yanqing to make a move. Just as Yanqing frowned, Jingyuan's voice came from the side.

He won't lay a hand on me.

[General...]

Upon seeing Jing Yuan arrive, Yan Qing's feelings became incredibly complicated.

The torch also pointed out the flaw in Yanqing's mind, because Yanqing had begun to worry about the previous failure.

You worry that the general will be disappointed in you, and you worry that you won't be the person the general hopes you will become.

Come on, show him the moves I taught you; he'll be very happy to see how much you've improved.

These remarks directly addressed Yanqing's true thoughts, causing her to appear somewhat conflicted.

Seeing Yanqing struggling, the group was about to make a move when Jingyuan shook his head to stop them.

Jingyuan clearly trusted Yanqing's choice, a scene that sparked a discussion among the audience.

"So the fundamental reason why Yanqing cares about winning or losing is that he cares about Jingyuan's opinion!"

"Help! Yanbao, you really care about the General!"

“Jingyuan is Yanqing’s father. Isn’t this just a child’s fear of disappointing his parents?”

"Are you going to replicate the classic? Master, let me repay your kindness in teaching me with this sword!"

"Jingyuan is also using this opportunity to help Yanqing grow. He believes that Yanqing will make the right choice!"

Jing Yuan then began to explain.

Yanqing wouldn't draw his sword to prove anything to me; I have some faith in him.

This confidence wasn't about believing he would ultimately win... but rather believing that one day he would break free from the cycle of victory and defeat, realizing the true reason he wielded his sword—whether for pleasure, to save lives, or to kill enemies...

This reason must be found by himself; no one can teach him. Now is the time for him to take that step.

The real reason I swung my sword...

This passage reminded March 7 of the reason Yanqing had given for wielding his sword on Mount Luofu.

I admire the version of myself that lets go of everything and gives it my all when I wield my sword; it is for this version of myself that I wield my sword!

Finally, after a struggle, Yanqing took a step forward.

General...please allow me...to demonstrate my swordsmanship. I hereby issue you a challenge...

Just when everyone thought they were about to witness a scene of master and disciple killing each other.

Faced with Yanqing's behavior, Jingyuan simply gave a gentle smile.

Then Yanqing turned around resolutely.

【Teacher Rongju! I hereby challenge this sword formation, and I challenge you!】

Chapter 196 Huo Huo's Past

Just when everyone thought Yanqing was about to face off against Jingyuan.

Yanqing had never considered attacking Jingyuan. Instead, he turned resolutely to look at Suiyang Rongju.

The audience breathed a sigh of relief.

"That was close! We almost had to fight four of them instead of five!"

"Jing Yuan's gentle smile—just one look at it and I knew Yan Qing wouldn't lay a hand on me!"

"His tone suddenly became decisive; we must strike hard against Suiyang!"

After successfully ending the battle, Suiyang was put into the gourd.

Yanqing looked at Jingyuan and said somewhat embarrassedly.

[General...]

Unexpectedly, Jing Yuan interrupted him.

Hey, I'm old, please don't say anything sentimental.

This sentence instantly made the audience lose their composure.

"Hahahaha, the interaction between the master and apprentice is really interesting!"

"Jing Yuanyuan's tone is so funny, haha!"

"Jing Yuanzhen has such high emotional intelligence. He noticed Yan Qing's guilt, so he used jokes and teasing to divert her attention!"

"But it's true, emotional appeals can easily trigger konjac juice!"

"What konjac dessert? Enough already! You've made it impossible for me to go back!"

The operation to subdue the Suiyang Torch has now come to an end.

In the subsequent plot, an even more significant piece of news arrived.

Huo Huo has gone missing!

The members of the ghost-hunting team have been unable to contact each other recently. After some speculation, they all felt that Huo Huo might be searching for the whereabouts of the tail.

The only one who might know the tail news is Fuyan.

So the group went to Fuyan to ask for information. Fuyan didn't hide anything from them. For the sake of having fun, Fuyan did provide Huo Huo with a few clues.

[You guys didn't see how scared she was, yet she still wanted to ask questions! It was hilarious!]

[Later, I got annoyed with her, so I said her tail was all torn apart like mine, turning into a tiny flame that doesn't remember anything. Didn't you see how terrified she turned? Hahahaha!]

Seeing Fu Yan's arrogant demeanor in the scene, especially his words that threatened Huo Huo, Wei Ba was so angry that he gritted his teeth.

"Oh dear, you little coward, you actually believe what it says? Without me watching over you, you might get kidnapped and tricked into becoming a maid one day!"

"I...I'm just afraid you'll really disappear..."

Then, Fuyan told her about guiding Huohuo to Liuyun Ferry, where, of course, it wasn't Tail waiting, but another Suiyang.

The group immediately set off for Liuyun Ferry, where they found Huo Huo lying unconscious on the ground. After checking her, they discovered that her consciousness had been hijacked by Sui Yang.

Because of Huo Huo's long-term interaction with Sui Yang, the current situation is somewhat special, and the previous methods of expelling Sui Yang are no longer effective.

Now, to find Suiyang, we need the help of another Suiyang to exorcise the demon.

What does Miss Raven mean?

Then, the crow took out a gourd from its side.

[The tail... I actually hid it here.]

Immediately, a barrage of question marks appeared on the screen, while many viewers began to cheer.

"Yay! Grandpa Tail is still alive!"

"Rise, my Tail Grandpa!"

The familiar eerie green spirit fire appeared before everyone's eyes, causing Gui Naifen to exclaim in surprise.

Little girl, don't make such a fuss!

[What's going on with you, you ball of fire? Could it be that you, Miss Raven, knew all along?]

When confronted with Gui Naifen's questions, Han Ya explained that he had just happened to encounter the surviving Tail, and that the sealing was Tail's own idea.

Then Tail began to explain the reason.

When I was around, Huo Huo always complained about me, constantly nagging about how much trouble I caused her and how much she hated her current life.

[Heh heh, if you don't cherish a powerful superior like me, you'll regret it when you lose her. I just want to hear her cry.]

So, in a fit of anger, I ordered that female ghost... Judge, to put me inside the gourd.

Now, seeing that Huo Huo has been possessed by Sui Yang, Han Ya says he can give Wei Ba a chance to regain his freedom and return to Huo Huo's side.

Tail naturally agreed to this.

So, as long as I possess Huo Huo and eat that other troublesome fellow, everything will be fine, right?

This foolish thing needs to learn a lesson; it needs to understand that it's gotten itself into trouble!

Then you enter Huo Huo's dream, and the game's perspective switches to Huo Huo herself.

Where am I...? Tail, tail, are you here?

Realizing something was wrong, Huo Huo had no choice but to walk forward to check the situation, and then she encountered a familiar figure.

"Mom? Is this a hallucination? Mom, what are you doing here? I missed you so much."

The slight tremor in her voice at the end of her words was heartbreaking, and what happened next was even more devastating.

The phantom of Huo Huo's mother showed a fearful expression, keeping Huo Huo at arm's length.

No, don't come any closer!

【You're not Huo Huo, you're not my daughter... You're covered in that filth, don't come any closer!】

Huo Huo, however, seemed to have long been accustomed to her mother's fearful expression, and simply asked...
