In Genshin Impact, I'm really not Muzan.

"It seems she hasn't discovered the true location of the sealing center yet. To prevent anyone from releasing that demon god's follower, when constructing this ruin, the immortals and I specially created a fake sealing center."

"The true sealing center is these two statues themselves. If they are destroyed, the sealed demon god's followers will see the light of day again. However, he doesn't seem to have realized this yet, otherwise these two statues wouldn't be as intact as they are now."

Xiao's words surprised Suzumiya Yu. No wonder there was only one treasure chest and one five-star royal artifact in the game. It turned out that the real important thing was hidden in these two statues.

This idea is rather cunning; it's like manipulating people's hearts. After all, no one would pay attention to such a statue. Moreover, Xiao and his gang even created a fake sealing hub to entice those who try to break the seal.

"You're really something... no, to be precise, you're practically cunning," said Ryou Miyabi. The immortals are indeed immortals; no wonder they're seasoned veterans who participated in the Demon God War, their ideas are so outrageous.

"In order to prevent that thing from trampling on the land of Liyue again, it is not unacceptable to use some despicable means. Moreover, in Liyue's military treatises, such means are called 'all's fair in war'."

Is the phrase "all's fair in war" applicable to this kind of thing? Forget it, now's not the time to concern myself with such matters.

Suzumiya Yu and Xiao walked through the entrance to the secret room and entered. They became more vigilant and kept a close watch on their surroundings at all times.

"Sigh, they're taking much longer than I expected." Just then, a woman's voice rang out, immediately putting the two of them into a state of readiness.

Ryou Suzumiya was the first to spread his senses out and finally locked onto the other party's location. However, to his surprise, the owner of that voice was actually behind them.

Looking back, Suzumiya Yuu saw a ruin hunter that had been destroyed in the distance, and a black-haired girl was sitting on it.

The girl had a great figure, and the clothes she was wearing were from an unknown country. If you're used to a certain style of clothing, you'd find her very jarring, because her clothes didn't quite fit modern aesthetics.

"So you're the guy who slaughtered an entire village and deliberately left a ball of energy at the scene?" Ryouji spoke first, being rather polite, because Xiao behind him had already drawn his weapon, ready to attack at any moment.

"I did it." To everyone's surprise, the girl agreed without the slightest hesitation. It's true what they say, you can't judge a book by its cover. How could a girl who looks so harmless do such a thing?

But then I thought about it again, and it seems that Suzumiya Yu is the same way, so there's no need to find it strange.

"I originally only intended to lure you here alone, but I didn't expect to be discovered by the immortals. Was it because that ancient god discovered my location that you were able to find this place?"

The girl's words were astonishing. Suzumiya Yu was truly surprised. Not only was the other party incredibly strong, but her reasoning ability was also so abnormal. She could tell at a glance that Zhongli had provided them with the information simply by observing Xiao's appearance.

With such a threatening enemy, Suzumiya Yu will absolutely not let her leave here alive today.

If possible, Suzumiya Yuu also planned to turn her into a demon, since the Upper Moon of the Twelve Demon Moons has always been missing a final one, and it would be very suitable to let that girl do it.

After all, she could satisfy Suzumiya Yuu in terms of both strength and ability.

"That's really impressive. By the way, you're from the Abyss Order, right? After all, I've seen that ball of energy you left behind on someone else before."

Suzumiya Yu said that the other person he was referring to was Dainsleb, the last surviving member of Canria, a lone wolf who was an enemy of the Abyss. He was powerful and knew everything he needed to know. He was a rare character in the game, and he was incredibly cool.

Chapter 211 The Lone Swordsman - Silky

“That’s right, my name is Skykirk, a swordsman from the abyss. This mission is on His Highness’s orders to eliminate you.” The girl drew a longsword from behind her back and pointed it at Suzumiya Yu, immediately creating a tense atmosphere.

"Your Highness... are you that traveler from another world? Hmm, to be honest, I really want to meet him, but I don't know if I'll ever have the chance."

Ryou Suzumiya said that what he said was true. As the ruler of the Abyss Order, Sora had a great influence. Even Ryou Suzumiya regarded him as a major threat. After all, the protagonist twins, whose strength had been restored to their peak, were powerful enough to rival the Seven Gods.

The Seven Gods remain an insurmountable wall for Yuu Ryougi, unless he can upgrade his combat system once again.

The reason why Inazuma was able to defeat Kage was purely because Kage brought it upon herself. She sealed away her most powerful strength, which gave Ryoumi Yu an opportunity. Otherwise, he would have been killed by Musou's sword long ago.

"His Highness will not meet with someone like you, a hypocrite who always likes to hide his true identity. He was like that in Inazuma, and he was like that in Liyue. You are a rare enemy who can give us all a headache."

Skok gave a fairly fair assessment of Yui Suzumiya, at least not to belittle her. However, she exaggerated Sora's abilities somewhat. Or rather, could Sora really overpower Yui Suzumiya with her current strength?

That would have been a difficult situation. Fortunately, it turned out that the person who came was not Sora himself, but Skirk.

Speaking of the name Skykirk, Yui Suzumiya seems to have some influence on it, as there was once such a proud and aloof girl in the background story of Tartaglia.

Almost all of Tartaglia's martial arts skills were taught to her by her, and even after Tartaglia left the Abyss to become an Executor of the Fools, she was never forced to fight with both hands.

This statement reveals just how outrageous Skykirk's strength is. While it might not mean much to Suzumiya Yu, below the level of a god, she is already considered a top-tier fighter.

If we could turn Skirk into a demon as well, the overall strength of the Twelve Demon Moons would increase dramatically, representing a qualitative leap.

"What an arrogant fellow. Although I don't quite understand what you're talking about, it seems we can't get along well now," said Ryou Miyabi, slowly placing his hand on the hilt of the sword at his waist, ready to draw his sword and fight at any moment.

Silky said that Suzumiya Yui deliberately concealed her true identity, which he absolutely could not admit. After all, Xiao was still here, and if he became suspicious or found out about his identity, it would be troublesome.

"You seem to be very good at acting. Even the Seven Stars of Liyue and the immortals were fooled by you. It's really surprising, Muzan Kibutsuji."

Suzumiya Yu thought he could get away with it, but to his surprise, Skykirk actually called out the name Kibutsuji Muzan directly.

Upon hearing this, Xiao's expression immediately changed. He looked Suzumiya Yu up and down, seemingly trying to confirm whether he was Kibutsuji Muzan.

Suzumiya Yu possesses the Transparent World, an ability that makes all the hostility on his body disappear, making him appear as a truly harmless boy.

However, while this method can fool ordinary people and even immortals, it cannot fool the divine beings and their retinues, because the difference in strength between the two is simply not on the same level.

Skirk's strength, while not necessarily comparable to that of the Rock God family's Rodra Dragon King, is at least on par with Dvalin, so she's definitely not weak.

Suzumiya Yu knew that turning Skykiku into a demon would not be an easy task, especially with Xiao also involved. Although Xiao had not yet been confirmed, he was already suspicious of Suzumiya.

If Xiao really finds out his true identity, then I'm sorry, but if we don't kill him, Suzumiya Yu will definitely become a demon.

Although Suzumiya Yuu's personality has undergone a huge change, he can be merciful at times, but when necessary, he can still become a ruthless villain who will eliminate anything that is threatening as his first priority.

“I have dealt with Muzan Kibutsuji quite a few times, which seems to have led you to mistake me for him.” Suzumiya Yu tried to conceal her identity. “You should know, right? Muzan Kibutsuji cannot move during the day, but I can.”

Indeed, in the minds of both the Inatsume people and the people of Liyue, Muzan Kibutsuji is incapable of being active in the sunlight. Even the immortals believe this, since they often keep an eye on the movements of Rosalind and her two companions.

"That explanation is certainly convincing, but do you think it's possible that the inability to act during the day is just a smokescreen used by someone to conceal their identity?"

It must be said that Silky's analytical ability is indeed very strong. Just as he said, Muzan Kibutsuji's inability to act during the day was merely a pretext for Yui Suzumiya to conceal her identity.

Before this, his trick had never been seen through by any third party other than the gods and their retinues, but Skykirk had managed to do it.

"Then according to you, why did Muzan Kibutsuji..." Yuu Suzumiya wanted to continue arguing, but just then, a cold glint flashed in the air, and by the time he realized what was happening, his head had already separated from his body.

Skirk appeared behind the two of them at some point. Under Xiao's surprised gaze, she slowly sheathed her weapon, but she didn't look relaxed at all. Instead, she looked at Suzumiya Yu with a serious expression.

Ryou Suzumiya, who was beheaded, did not die immediately; in fact, his headless body remained standing in place.

"Sigh..." The next second, the head that had fallen to the ground couldn't help but sigh softly, "I originally wanted to continue hiding it, but who knew that you would be so powerful."

The headless body slowly picked up the head from the ground. Upon seeing this, Skirk immediately drew her sword to stop her, but in the instant she rushed out, she found that Suzumiya Yu had already disappeared from the spot.

When she stopped, she saw Suzumiya Yuu appear in the distance, where he had reattached his severed head, and the wound had miraculously healed.

No matter what kind of injury it is, it can recover immediately; this is a characteristic of demons.

Xiao's expression changed drastically at this moment. If Suzumiya Yu was a demon, and considering what Skykirk had said earlier, then he was most likely Muzan Kibutsuji himself.

This shocked Xiao. The formidable rival he had never found was right beside him, and not long ago, the two of them had even been having a pleasant conversation.

Chapter 212 A Troublesome Battle

"You...are Muzan Kibutsuji?" Xiao looked at Yuu Suzumiya in disbelief. For a moment, he couldn't even believe it, because not long ago, Yuu Suzumiya had saved Liyue Harbor from the demon god.

The great hero who saved Liyue and the demon who harmed the people are simply incomparable, a view held by both ordinary people and immortals.

But what about now? When Suzumiya Yui's true identity as Kibutsuji Muzan is revealed, all these beliefs will be overturned.

Xiao couldn't understand why Suzumiya Yu would act as both a good person and a bad person at the same time. Was there some special purpose behind it? That must be it, since there was no other reason.

As a celestial being, Xiao quickly calmed down. He composed himself and transformed into a green shadow, arriving in front of Suzumiya Yu in the blink of an eye.

Pu Yuan aimed her spear tip at Liang Gongyou's neck and thrust it fiercely. Since Liang Gongyou had concealed her true identity, Xiao no longer needed to worry about anything.

As the guardian of Liyue, he is never bound by personal feelings. Even if the other party was his friend a second ago, he can choose to draw his sword against them the next second.

"Tsk, you really don't show any mercy. Are you angry because I deliberately concealed my identity?" Seeing Xiao suddenly attacking her, Suzumiya Yu remained calm.

He slowly drew his weapon from his waist, simultaneously dodging to the side, and with his other hand clenched into a fist, punched Xiao in the stomach with almost unbelievable speed.

The struck Xiao felt an unbearable pain in his abdomen, and then his whole body flew backward, finally coming to a stop after hitting the wall.

“The situation has taken a little beyond my expectations.” Suzumiya Yu gripped her weapon, glancing at Skylark not far away. “So, could you please fall down right now? Before I make a move.”

Her tone gradually changed from calm to chilling. The next second, a golden lightning bolt exploded in the air, and it was Suzumiya Yu rushing in front of Skirk.

"Thunder Breathing - First Form: Thunderclap Flash - Divine Speed!"

The blade, crackling with golden electricity, swung straight at Silky. Yuu Ryou thought he could defeat her in one move, but the next moment, he heard a violent metallic clang.

Looking up, she saw that Skykik had blocked her attack with her weapon. Although she was thrown backward a distance by the powerful impact, the fact that she was able to block the attack was far beyond Suzumiya Yu's expectations.

"Tsk, troublesome." Ryou clicked his tongue. His identity had been exposed. No matter what, he couldn't let Xiao and Skirk leave. If they did, his plan would be completely ruined, and it would be very difficult to come up with a new one.

A surge of electricity coursed through her body, and Suzumiya Yu swung her sword again. This time, both the power and speed of her swing were far superior to the previous strike.

"Thunder Breathing - Seventh Form: Fire Thunder God!"

Just as Skykirk regained her footing, Suzumiya Yu burst forth, a faint dragon's roar echoing in the air. A massive golden dragon of lightning appeared, unleashing a destructive force as it hurtled towards Skykirk.

At that moment, Skirk sensed the long-lost aura of death. Her body's instincts compelled her to immediately swing her knife, while simultaneously unleashing another of her own powers.

Energy, like that of the starry sky, burst forth in the air, gradually forming a barrier that stood before Skykirk.

The next second, the golden lightning dragon crashed into the barrier, and after only a moment, the barrier shattered, but the golden lightning dragon still had some residual power.

Sensing something was wrong, Skykirk immediately dodged to the side, but even though her timing was perfect, her arm was still slashed.

Blood continued to flow from the wound. Skirk stared blankly at it. This was the first time in her life that she had been injured so quickly in battle. This showed just how fierce Ryou's attacks were, even she was finding it hard to cope.

"As expected of someone whom His Highness the Prince considers a threat, he's really something." Cold sweat kept sliding down her cheeks. Skirk knew that it would be very difficult for her to defeat Suzumiya Yui today.

Without reinforcements or any means of survival, she might still die here.

Strong people are not afraid of death, but it is impossible to let her die directly, so Skirk will definitely try every means to escape from here.

However, Suzumiya Yuu did not intend to give her this chance, because in his view, Skykirk was already the designated last Upper Moon of the Twelve Demon Moons, and he would absolutely not let her escape.

"Breath of the Moon..."

Just as Suzumiya Yu was about to use her sword technique again, a figure suddenly shot out from afar, rushing towards him with overwhelming killing intent.

That was Xiao. At this moment, he was wearing the Yaksha mask. Although this would cause his body to be constantly eroded by karma, at the same time, his strength and speed had also increased by a whole level.

Even Suzumiya Yu couldn't ignore him. To avoid being hit, he had to cancel his upcoming sword technique and change his target from Skirk to Xiao.

"Thunder Breathing - Fifth Form: Heat Realm Thunder!"

The blade unleashed a burst of intensely hot lightning that hurtled towards its opponent. Faced with an attack that could kill it instantly, Xiao hurriedly dodged and barely escaped the blow.

At this moment, he felt a chill run down his spine. He hadn't felt it before, but now he realized that Ryou's strength could only be described as terrifying, especially when he started to get serious, he was a completely different person from before.

Xiao hadn't encountered such a powerful opponent in countless years; the last time was five hundred years ago during the catastrophe that swept across the entire continent.

Suzumiya Yui's attack failed to defeat Xiao, and she couldn't help but frown.
