Genshin Impact: The Vision of Gods Shines Again

However, the third petal, which was slowly opening, suddenly got stuck halfway through, as if something had gone wrong.

As if realizing something, Mu Xian looked up and saw that the Divine Cherry Tree was barely emitting any light, and the entire trunk looked particularly dim.

The remaining power of the Divine Cherry Tree seemed insufficient for the mechanism to complete its absorption.

—Perhaps Xiaobaidai knows the true situation of the Divine Cherry Tree.

"I should have stopped them and asked them."

As he continued talking to himself, Mu Xian heard light footsteps behind him again.

At first, the footsteps were slow, but after pausing for a while, they quickly ran towards Mu Xian.

—Little Elegance?

—No, the final battle won't train them to make footsteps.

Mu Xian's eyes flickered slightly, and then he gripped the sword that was still sheathed in his hand.

Feeling a strong gust of wind behind him, Mu Xian raised his sword and then slashed down fiercely.

The ancient Hua School is said to have three secret techniques: the sword technique of cutting rain, the spear technique of piercing light, and the dual techniques of mutual restraint between spear and sword.

However, as it has been passed down to this day, these three secret techniques have gradually become fancy but impractical moves.

Mu Xian realized this when he was in Guhua, and tried to improve his moves.

Unfortunately, just as she was getting into the idea, that young master of the merchant guild named Xingqiu joined the Guhua faction...

Xingqiu also discovered the shortcomings of the three secret techniques, but he thought of using the Eye of God to make up for them.

This method yielded remarkable results in a short period of time, and everyone in the Guhua faction called Xingqiu a great hero who saved Guhua.

Swordsmanship is eye technique...

This statement... makes it seem like without the Eye of God, one isn't even qualified to wield a sword.

Yet this seemingly nonsensical remark made by a young man on a whim was regarded as a fundamental principle by the entire Guhua family and enshrined in the main hall, completely forgetting all the teachings they had always received.

If martial arts rely on skill to overcome strength and the weak to defeat the strong, and can only be possessed by those with divine insight or by the strong, then there is no need for martial arts to exist.

Therefore, Gu Hua fell into decline, leaving only Xia Muxian to continue researching and improving Gu Hua's three major sect-protecting secret techniques.

The day Mu Xian emerged on the Lantern Festival also marked the birth of three brand-new ancient Chinese secret techniques.

Mu Xian's sword struck first, severing the weapon with a sharp, swift motion.

This is not the Rain-Cutting Method, but rather a method of mutual restraint using both spear and sword.

In the theory of mutual generation and restraint, the sword is valued for slashing and chopping, while the spear is valued for thrusting.

what?

Mu Xian didn't have a gun?

But a gun doesn't necessarily have to be a gun.

Mu Xian cleaved the weapon aimed at him in two, and used the scabbard of his other hand to stab the attacker.

However, before he could succeed, a fierce gust of wind surged from the enemy, attempting to stop Mu Xian's movements.

He is a user of the Eye of God, and seems to be quite powerful.

In the past, Mu Xian might have been blown to the ground by a sudden gust of wind, but now...

With his newfound unknown body, Mu Xian didn't pause for a moment, continuing to thrust the scabbard in his hand towards the newcomer.

However, Mu Xian's opponent reacted extremely quickly. Seeing that the strong wind could not blow Mu Xian down, he gathered the power of the wind element in one place.

boom!

The sound of breaking the sound barrier rang out, and Mu Xian could no longer see the enemy. The scabbard in his hand had also missed its mark.

However, Mu Xian did not retract the scabbard. Instead, he took a step forward and held the scabbard horizontally above his head.

The enemy, who had flown into the air using the wind element, suddenly drew a one-handed sword from somewhere and used the momentum of his descent to slash at Mu Xian.

However, Mu Xian had already raised the scabbard above the blade, thus blocking the downward slash of the one-handed sword.

The biting wind and the figure fell together. Mu Xian blocked the blade, but he couldn't stop the omnipresent wind.

As if being slashed by tiny blades, small holes gradually appeared in Mu Xian's clothes, and even a bloody mark appeared on his right cheek.

—Wait, is this the West Wind Sword Technique?

As if realizing something, Mu Xian looked up, but the darkness under the cloak made it impossible to see his face.

The sword, which was originally intended to strike the newcomer, changed its move, the deflected blade reflecting the moonlight and shining directly on the newcomer.

By the moonlight, Mu Xian could see the face clearly.

Frederica Gunnhildr!

Or perhaps, Mu Xian's former mother.

—But why is she here?

A hint of doubt flashed in Mu Xian's eyes as he used his power to deflect Frey's attack through the scabbard.

Frey, who was in mid-air, used the Wind God's Eye to land not far from Mu Xian.

Seeing that the two were some distance apart, Mu Xian turned his head and glanced at the mechanism on the tree trunk out of the corner of his eye.

The mechanism remained the same as before, with the third blooming petal still stuck in place.

The light in Mu Xian's eyes dimmed. He sheathed his sword and reached out to remove the mechanism from the tree trunk.

A gust of wind tore another hole in Mu Xian's robe. Frey's sudden attack made Mu Xian stop and look at Frey rushing towards him.

Mu Xian's eyes were extremely cold as he indifferently watched the sword blade gradually enlarge in front of him.

But the blade suddenly stopped a few inches from Mu Xian's eyes and then fell to the ground.

Looking at the one-handed sword on the ground, Mu Xian looked up again at Frey, whose cloak had been blown off by the wind.

Anger, guilt, self-blame...

A multitude of emotions intertwined to form Frey's expression, but her golden eyes reflected Mu Xian's face.

However, Mu Xian ignored it. He had known for a long time that he was just a superfluous person in that family.

If that's the case, why bother going over there so eagerly?

He didn't linger on Frey for long before turning his gaze to the Divine Cherry Tree and removing the mechanism inserted into it.

As Mu Xian removed the mechanism, he felt a faint crackling sound of electricity behind him, and a chilling killing intent locked onto him.

—This familiar feeling...it must be the second time.

A chill ran down his face, but Mu Xian didn't harbor much resentment.

After all, what kills you is never the menacing blade.

Mu Xian gripped and released the knife hilt in his hand, finally removing his right hand from it.

Mu Xian almost forgot his own long-held thoughts.

Now is undoubtedly the best time to die.

—It would be nice if I died in the same old place.

However, this time Mu Xian hoped she could hurry up, as the feeling of gradually fading away was still somewhat unpleasant.

Mu Xian moved his fingers and then placed his right palm on the trunk of the Divine Cherry Tree.

If I were to return to the ley lines, only these memories would accompany me.

Before I die, I hope I can at least retrieve some of my memories.

For example, Mu Xian felt that he could savor his past memories for a long time.

Thinking about it, Mu Xian closed his eyes and saw another scene in the darkness.

Coffin, lantern, candle...

Hu Tao stood outside the coffin, her face solemn, a look Mu Xian had never seen before.

She stretched her wrist over the coffin, and drops of crimson blood dripped from her cut wrist.

Blood fell into the coffin, and Mu Xian seemed to hear the sound of water droplets falling into the water.

A ripple appeared on the calm water, but it wasn't just the surface that was rippling.

He opened his eyes, but the image in front of him was still that of Hu Tao.

Black veins gradually climbed up the girl's fair skin, and along with that, Mu Xian's mood inexplicably became irritable.

Well, once a person takes on responsibility, it seems like even dying becomes much more difficult.

"so..."

As he spoke, Mu Xian touched the mask in his arms: "Back in Guyun Pavilion, how did I end up signing that inexplicable contract?"

Chapter 71 still chose an outsider.

The Thunder General cleaved through space, his blade flashing with lightning, before striking the youth before him.

Frey saw all of this, and the scene before her seemed to overlap with the image in the commemorative mirror.

Frey seemed to see a scene from a month ago.

Mu Xian, standing beneath the cherry blossom tree, caught the general's slash, but the young man, along with his weapon, vanished into sand.

"no, do not want!"

The sound drowned out the fear brought on by the hallucination.

Frey came to her senses and realized that she was tightly gripping the weapon in her hand.

Looking up towards the direction of the Divine Cherry Tree, Frey saw that the young man had put on a mask at some point, and the katana in his hand blocked the Thunder General's attack.

The frame was held up?!

Is Inazuma, this goddess, really that bad at martial arts?

Unbearable? How could it be unbearable!
