The Embers of King's Teyvat Journey

"Bang!" After leaving a gray-black path, the Firebird and the wall of flames summoned by the Abyss Fire collided with each other.

Two equally matched fire elemental forces clashed and ultimately perished in a muffled explosion.

However, Diluc was not a novice like Bennett or Fischl. He was already proficient in using the Eye of God, and his body had become extremely strong through countless trials.

So after unleashing his elemental burst, Diluc rushed towards the abyssal fire without even taking a deep breath.

"Die!" Diluc leaped high into the air, followed by a powerful downward slash. The flames on his greatsword trailed long tongues of fire as they struck the Abyssal Flame.

"Bang!" The two-handed sword, known for its weight, unleashed tremendous power in Diluc's hands. Abyssal Flame was staggered by Diluc's attack and almost fell over.

As a fire-elemental abyssal monster, Abyssal Fire should have extremely high resistance to fire elements.

And that is indeed the case. What harms Abyssfire is not the flames on the greatsword, but the powerful force beneath the flames!

The crimson robe of the Abyssfire was torn open by the attack, and black, viscous "blood" was flowing from the wound—if that thing could really be called blood.

Yuan Huo ignored his wounds; they were just minor injuries that would heal on their own. The spiked ring on his back began to flash, and he muttered incantations:

"A fervent proverb!"

Diluc suddenly felt the ground beneath his feet begin to tremble, and a chill ran down his spine—an instinct he had developed over years of fighting, an instinct for danger.

Almost at the same time, Diluc moved. He rolled away from where he stood.

Then the bright flames illuminated Diluc's face, which was still in mid-air—a thick pillar of lava erupted from beneath the earth.

"Pah!" Diluc stood up and spat out the hot phlegm from his mouth. But as he prepared to continue fighting, he saw that Abyssal Flame had already leaped far away.

The moment it engaged Diluc, Abyssfire realized that close combat with Diluc was a thankless and exhausting task, so it decisively chose to keep its distance.

Soon, the two groups faced off. One side was Ember and his group, and the other side was Abyssfire and his group.

Yu Jin patted the charred marks off his body. As the person closest to the Abyss Fire, he felt the power of the wall of fire immediately.

It was somewhat useful, but not much. Apart from repelling the embers, the wall of fire left no mark on them.

Even the black marks on his body were just from the ash from the grass and wood when he landed.

While both are walls of fire, the power of Abyssfire is far inferior to that of Kutri. Ember estimated that if Kutri were to use this technique on the mainland, Wolf Ridge would likely cease to exist.

"Humans, how did you know I was coming here!" Yuanhuo narrowed its eyes. Everything it had just experienced seemed as if this group of people had come to ambush it.

Could it be that humans have some special method to gather intelligence about the cult? Thinking of this, a hint of ruthlessness flashed in Yuanhuo's narrow eyes. It seemed that these humans could not be allowed to live.

No one reacted to Yuan Huo's words. Even though they still had doubts about where Yu Jin's information came from, it was clearly better to keep the secret in the current situation.

At the very least, the monsters of the Abyss Order must not know that their information has been leaked.

Thinking of this, everyone's gaze towards the other side turned fierce.

Paimon and Yuan Shang both shivered involuntarily. Why were they so cold just now? Did they catch a chill while sleeping last night?

However, there was clearly one exception among them: Paimon. She slapped her forehead, belatedly saying to Ember, "Oh right, why did you know that this big guy was coming, Ember?"

"Paimon!" Upon hearing Paimon's words, Ying immediately pulled her down. She had completely forgotten about Paimon; how careless of her!

"Huh? Did I...did I say something wrong?" Paimon saw everyone's eyes on her, and a feeling of fear and guilt welled up in her heart.

Her big eyes quickly welled up with tears, and she said in a slightly tearful voice, "I...I'm sorry, I...I won't say anything more in the future!"

Upon hearing Paimon's words, Abyssfire burst into laughter. Looking at Ember, it said, "So you've gotten information about the Order? Not bad, not bad. In that case, take your petty cleverness and die!"

Yuanhuo launched its attack without even asking how Yujin obtained the information. Fireballs the size of washbasins appeared behind Yuanhuo.

With a flick of his finger, a fireball hurtled toward the crowd with immense power.

Perhaps in its mind, humans have no other way to deduce information about the cult except by using some clever tricks.

"Who will kill whom is still uncertain!" Yu Jin shouted, directly meeting the fireball flying out from behind Yuan Huo. His fists flashed, and the fireballs in the air were all dispersed.

Then, with a wave of his hand, he shouted to the crowd behind him, "Charge! Let these monsters know the might of Mondstadt!"

In an instant, the once peaceful hill became lively.

Jean and Diluc worked together surprisingly well, and the two of them managed to force Abyssal Flame to retreat steadily.

Meanwhile, Ying and Paimon took the initiative to confront Yuan Shang and the other three. Amidst Yuan Shang's exclamations and Paimon's shouts, a fierce battle ensued.

Wendy was setting the stage for this thrilling battle, while Ember was simply watching from the sidelines.

Chapter 173 I want to be a good person

2023-09-15

"Stop fighting! Stop fighting! If you keep fighting, you'll die!" On the hillside, Yuan Shang saw that they were already some distance away from the Yuan Huo that was entangled in battle, and immediately began to give up.

It deactivated its elemental shield, covered its head with its hands, and lay trembling on the ground. This girl before it, though seemingly young, possessed formidable strength.

Not only is he strong, but he's also incredibly ruthless. Upon seeing the enormous red bump on Yuanxia's head, Yuanshang decisively chose to back down.

If you don't back down now, you'll really get beaten to death!

"Stop hitting me! I'm an undercover agent, big sister!" Yuan Shang saw Ying raise the Wufeng Sword to continue beating her and immediately revealed his undercover identity.

This is unbelievable! The Wufeng Sword is clearly a weapon for beginners to train with, so how come it's so powerful in this girl's hands!

"You are..." Paimon was about to shout, but then she remembered what had just happened, covered her mouth, and quietly floated to the side of the abyss, whispering:

"Are you really an undercover agent?"

“Absolutely true!” Yuan Shang said, taking out a sheet of white paper and starting to scribble on it.

Soon, Yuan Shang finished his new "masterpiece." He turned the blank paper over and handed it to Ying and Paimon to look at.

Ying took the paper and saw that it was a drawing of a stick figure with an eggplant floating next to it?

"Hey! Are you blind?!" Paimon saw the way the white paper made him look and immediately stomped his foot angrily.

Mingying was still a stick figure, so how did she turn into an eggplant? This has absolutely nothing to do with being human!

"I draw based on my feelings," Yuan Shang replied seriously to Paimon's questioning.

To it, humans are like abyss mages to humans—it's impossible to tell them apart.

Take the present moment for example. When Yuanshang looks at Ying and Paimon, he is actually looking at two identical people, one a little bigger and the other a little smaller, and the smaller one can even fly.

For the abyss to remember a human, their personality must either leave a deep impression or their characteristics must be distinct enough.

Clearly, Ember perfectly fits these two characteristics, which is why Ember is the human who left the deepest impression on Yuan Shang.

"Now you believe I'm an undercover agent, right?" Yuan Shang said, then, as if suddenly realizing something strange, it shook its head and changed its words: "No! I'm not an undercover agent. I'm just temporarily cooperating with you humans to eliminate the cult's pests!"

"Yes, yes, no, no, not an undercover agent, not an undercover agent!" Ying and Paimon nodded like chicks pecking at rice. How could an undercover agent admit to being an undercover agent?

"Are they undercover agents too?" Ying leaned closer and asked, looking at the other Abyss Mages lying sprawled out around her.

“Yes, yes, yes! Us too!” Yuanxia, ​​Yuanzuo, and Yuanyou immediately stood up and nodded quickly, afraid that Ying would deal with them if they were too late.

"What do you mean by 'undercover agent'? We are the hope of the Order!" Yuan Shang immediately corrected his companion when he saw him referring to himself as an undercover agent again.

"Okay, I understand." ×3

The others responded indifferently, saying that Yuan Shang had said this several times already, and they were tired of hearing it.

"By the way, do you guys have names?" Ying asked curiously, looking at the four lively characters.

“Abyss.” The fiery red abyss mage looked helpless.

"I am Yuanxia!" Teng Zi's Abyss Mage was extremely excited.

"I...I am Yuan Zuo." The pale blue abyss mage was somewhat shy.

“Yuanyou.” The icy-white abyss mage replied indifferently.

"We are..." The Abyss mages began to line up according to their names. Then they said in unison, "Abyss!"

"Wow! That's amazing!" Paimon's eyes lit up as she looked at the creatures on the abyss, their postures perfectly aligned, and she clapped her hands incessantly.

As Ying stared at the scene before her, her eyes involuntarily twitched. Was this really not a dream?

Is there something wrong with the abyss mage in front of me?

……

"Disperse!" A gust of wind rose from the rapier, and Qin thrust out her sword, releasing the accumulated wind pressure. A violent gale howled in the space no larger than one person, shattering everything within it.

"Damn it!" The gust of wind in front of him interrupted Yuan Huo's spellcasting. Feeling the chaotic elemental power surging within his body, Yuan Huo couldn't help but feel annoyed.

The two creatures before it were quite different. One was incredibly agile, always managing to seize the opportunity to cling tightly to it; while the other waited patiently for its chance to strike, leaving considerable wounds on its body with each attack.

Yuan Huo flicked the blood dripping from his fingers. The thick, muddy blood made a hissing, corrosive sound as it touched the ground.

It took a deep breath, knowing that if it dragged this out any longer, defeat was inevitable. Abyssfire scanned its surroundings, looking for any possible turning point on the other side of the abyss.

If Yuan Shang and the others can successfully deal with that blonde girl, they might be able to defeat the two humans in front of them if they work together.

However, when Yuanhuo saw the four of them being "beaten" by Ying and running away with their heads in their hands, he suddenly felt short of breath.

"Useless!" Yuanhuo cursed under its breath, now knowing it had no chance of winning this battle.

That leaves only one option—escape!

While Abyss Apostle-level monsters may not be considered top-tier in terms of combat strength, few can rival their tenacity.

After all, they can open the abyss passage at any time; whether to go or come is entirely up to them.

Aside from the risk of being contaminated by forbidden elements within the abyss passage if someone were to pursue them, these creatures could directly alter the passage's location.

The location connecting the Abyss Passage is perfectly controlled only by members of the Order. As for others who enter the Abyss Passage, they can only pray for their own safety.

Yuanhuo stretched out a hand behind it, and when it opened its palm, a deep spatial rift appeared before everyone's eyes.

The interior of the abyss passage was unexpectedly beautiful, with twinkling starlight escaping from it, creating a breathtaking scene.

But the Abyssal Flame beside it, so different from humans, shattered this beautiful scene. Diluc and Jean snapped out of their surprise. They saw the Abyssal Flame's body heading towards the abyssal passage and immediately realized something was wrong.

Whatever the monster in the abyss wants to do, we must not let it succeed!

"God of Wind, please guide me!" Seeing that she couldn't catch up, Qin decisively raised the Wind Eagle Sword to her chest with both hands.

Wind elemental power gathered on the Windhawk Sword, turning its blade a dazzling azure. The wind's blessing descended upon Qin.

A thousand winds surge, the wind's enemies will be torn apart, the wind's companions will be gently soothed, and the wind will take everything away!

Diluc felt his body rapidly recovering and knew the opportunity was urgent. He raised his greatsword again and swung it forcefully.
