Genshin Impact, Teyvat's own beloved immortal.

After a brief silence, the solid rock beneath Lu Sheng and Gan Yu's feet suddenly broke apart, revealing a vast, dark space at the bottom.

Have the people of Liyue somehow dug to the very center of the earth?

A thought flashed through Lu Sheng's mind as his body plummeted downwards.

In mid-air, before Xiao's Nuo dance was over, he pointed his spear at Lu Sheng and thrust it down with all his might!

"Gan Yu! Crash!"

Lu Sheng shouted and then lightly snapped his fingers.

Time-Slow Domain! Activate!

In an instant, Lu Sheng, Gan Yu, Xiao, and the falling earth and rocks all slowed down their movements.

The domain can only last for three seconds, allowing no room for hesitation.

Lu Sheng first shoved Gan Yu forward and shouted at her, "Now! Crash her!"

He then adjusted his posture and activated his Copper Head Iron Arm the instant the domain ended.

Ding!

The domain ended, and Xiao's spear pierced the copper-headed iron arm, shaking the ground and making the spear in his hand buzz, almost slipping out of his grasp.

He gritted his teeth, gripped the gun tightly, and prepared to stab again, but when he looked up, he saw a pair of large red horns coming towards him.

"Hahahaha! Stupid, aren't you? Didn't expect that, did you? Surprised? You thought you could be invincible just by going crazy and relying on brute force?" Lu Sheng laughed loudly, "I caught your killing move! Now I'll let you taste my immortal killing move! Gan Yu! Smash him to death!!"

Gan Yu, transformed into a Qilin, showed no mercy. Using all his divine power and relying on his incredibly hard Qilin horns and iron head, he fiercely thrust his weapon into Xiao's chest.

boom!

"Ugh!"

Xiao's pupils instantly shrank to the size of pinpoints, and he spat out a mouthful of black blood, his body flying backward like an arrow released from a bow.

Three figures, one far away and two near, fell from the sky and into the huge black hole deep in the earth's core.

......

Liyue Harbor.

The war has entered a critical stage.

All of Liyue's warships were deployed, but most of them have already been destroyed by Oser and the remnants of the awakened demon god.

However, humans are not weak either. Under the combined attack of the Seven Stars and many Thousand Rocks, Oser was also seriously injured.

He had just awakened from the suppression and was much weaker than before. He then ran into the Liyue army, which was well prepared for battle. After a fierce battle, two of his five heads were blown off.

Of course, the two executives of the Fools deserve much credit for this.

In their struggle to obtain the Heart of God from Morax, the lady and the prince secretly compete, neither willing to lose to the other. After all, only one person can ultimately bring the Heart of God back to Winter, and that person will surely be favored and promoted by the Queen, with the possibility of moving up in rank.

Among the fools, strength speaks volumes.

Thus, the people of Liyue witnessed firsthand the desperate battle between two foreign Fatui warriors who risked their lives to defend Liyue Harbor.

How touching!

Even foreigners are willing to go to such lengths for Liyue! How can we, as people of Liyue, lose to them?

In an instant, the morale of the Liyue army rose significantly.

Oser lost two heads and barely managed to push the battle line to Liyue Harbor, only one step away from destroying it.

However, just as he was about to unleash a giant wave to destroy the port and the Liyue army, a golden light suddenly appeared on the distant sea.

Amidst the golden light, a giant golden dragon coiled and soared, emitting roars and cries.

"Aaaaaaah! Morax!!! You're going to die!!!"

When Oser saw the dragon within the golden light, his heart was completely consumed by endless hatred. He abandoned Liyue Harbor, which he had finally managed to conquer, and turned to chase after the golden dragon.

"Morax!!! Do you know how I have spent these thousands of years at the bottom of the sea?! Do you know the darkness and loneliness I have endured?"

"Ugh! Every day you're gone, I miss you!"

"Even cutting you in half! Slicing you apart! Chopping you into pieces!! It still won't erase my hatred for you!! Morax!!!"

Upon seeing Morax appear, the remains of the demon gods suppressed by the Rock Spears beneath Lone Cloud Pavilion turned red with rage and retreated from Liyue Harbor, surging towards their enemies.

Seeing the monsters retreat, Ningguang waved her hand and commanded the Liyue Navy: "All forces, pursue! Annihilate these monsters in one fell swoop!"

"No need to pursue."

The hunched-over immortal from Chengelang City approached Ningguang.

Ningguang didn't quite understand and asked, "Why?"

The immortal simply smiled as he looked at the golden dragon in the distance. "Trust the Emperor. All we need to do is protect Liyue Harbor. That's more important than anything else."

Although Ningguang still didn't understand, she chose to trust the immortals when it came to fighting.

A person in power should know how to recognize and utilize talent, and should be fully aware of their own strengths and weaknesses, and should never be stubborn and self-willed in managing areas they are not good at.

"Alright, Liyue Army, listen to my command! All troops, re-form ranks and stand ready! Be prepared to resist the Demon God's counterattack at any time!"

......

The deepest part of the layered rock abyss.

Lu Sheng landed slowly on the ground, looked up, and reached out to catch Gan Yu, who was falling due to dizziness.

Forces are reciprocal. That headbutt was clearly delivered with full force. Even if Morax came, his shield would be shattered. Xiao is probably half dead, and Gan Yu's head must be hurting too.

"My head... feels dizzy..."

Gan Yu rubbed her head, opened her eyes, and was shocked to find herself being held. Her delicate body trembled in fright, and she quickly jumped up.

"Where is the Great Sage Who Subdues Demons? How is he? Did I accidentally kill him?"

"Don't worry, he's not dead. Isn't he right there?"

Lu Sheng pointed to the figure swaying as it walked in the darkness.

Xiaozhu, wielding a long spear, limped towards the two, muttering as he went, "I...I, the Yaksha tribe...Golden Roc King...how could I be defeated? Kill! Kill you all!"

As he spoke, he raised his spear again and charged towards Lu Sheng and the other man, his body trembling.

"Save your energy."

Lu Sheng drew his sword and blew a gust of wind, which swept up Xiao, followed by a Gale-like Strike that knocked him down.

Xiao still wanted to get up and fight again, but he was pinned down from behind, and in an instant, a hand chop was pierced into his body from behind.

"Don't be afraid. It's normal to feel like you're living a life worse than death. Just bear with it. I'll take on your karmic burden for you."

Lu Sheng no longer restrained himself and took all of Xiao's power into his possession, including all the karmic burdens he had accumulated over a thousand years.

However, he still spared Xiao's life in the end.

After all, there was a prior agreement with Old Deng; it would be excessive to rob someone and then kill them.

"Hahaha! Brilliant! Absolutely brilliant!"

Suddenly, a burst of applause and lewd laughter echoed from the pitch-black underground abyss.

The sound of high heels followed, and a woman dressed in a black wizard's robe, her face covered by a hood, slowly walked out.

She was very short, excessively short.

She was clearly the size of a little girl, yet she wore a witch's robe with a slit up to her waist, revealing a deep cleavage that was completely out of proportion to her figure.

There's a strange feeling about a precocious elementary school student secretly wearing his mother's clothes.

"Seeing the immortals of Liyue meet such an end makes all my scheming worthwhile. After living this long, I still enjoy seeing clichéd plots like siblings turning against each other."

Lu Sheng didn't even need to guess; he could smell the nauseating sour stench emanating from her from a great distance. It was definitely Rheindorf.

"Oh, it's you, you old hag!"

"Hehe~ Your mouth... Oh well, you'll soon be a guinea pig in my solution anyway, so hurry up and say a few more words now, or you won't have this chance again."

"Haha~" Lu Sheng laughed, rubbing his forehead, "You old hag, you really dare to show your face?"

"What wouldn't I dare to do? All these schemes and tricks are just to get rid of the immortals in Liyue, aren't they? You're not still fantasizing that some so-called Emperor will come to your rescue, are you? I advise you to stop dreaming. He's currently in Liyue Harbor being entangled with his old enemy and can't get away."

"If he hadn't ruined my plans, I would have captured you long ago. So, I only made a slight move, causing a little damage to his beloved Liyue. We're even now."

"Look here~ The source of the Liyue Abyss, filled with a sweet scent~ Mmm~ So fragrant~ The Abyss is such a wonderful power, but people always look at it with prejudice. It's just that those good-for-nothings don't know how to use this power."

"Your research will definitely help me understand the workings of the Abyss."

"So, are you going to be a good little puppy and come with me yourself~ or should I feed your little fangirl to my pack of beasts first, then break every bone in your body and drag you away~"

Lu Sheng couldn't hold back any longer when he heard Rhein-Dortmund's threat.

It's really hard to feel threatened when someone with such a petite figure says something like that.

It sounds like a brat in a doujinshi is being stubborn.

"You should worry about whether you can leave Liyue alive first."

Lu Sheng looked completely indifferent, even putting his hands on his hips.

"Just you?"

"No, no, no." Lu Sheng spread his hands. "I know my own limitations. I may not be able to beat you, but when it comes to scheming and trickery, you're still lacking."

"what?!"

"Old woman, when did you start having the illusion that Morax is in Liyue Harbor?"

Mondstadt-Liyue Chapter: Chapter 64: The Witch's Dead End

Rheindorf realized something was wrong, his heart pounded, and his eyes, hidden under his hood, couldn't help but dart around.

Then she sneered, "Trying to scare me? I saw that old man appear at sea with my own eyes."

"Generally speaking, the Liyue Masters sometimes play tricks on people, commonly known as illusions."

Behind Rhein-Dörgüt, an unexpected voice quietly emerged.

Her green eyes narrowed abruptly as she turned around in alarm, meeting a pair of golden eyes gleaming in the darkness.
