In Genshin Impact, I'm really not Muzan.

He was somewhat surprised that Xiao's strength had changed so much before and after he put on the Yaksha mask. Judging from Xiao's previous performance, his attack should have knocked him unconscious, but it had been dodged.

This is really troublesome...

With this thought in mind, the next second, Suzumiya Yuu discovered that Skykirk had taken advantage of the moment he was in a clone and was slashing at him with a weapon.

This startled him, and he immediately turned around and used his sword technique.

"Wind Breathing - Second Form - Claw Claw - Koto Wind!"

As Suzumiya Yuu switched from Thunder Breathing to Wind Breathing, she turned around and unleashed four claw-shaped wind blades with her sword, powerful enough to cut through iron objects.

Sensing the danger, Skirk did not let her guard down. Energy as vast as the starry sky poured out from her body, colliding with the four wind blades.

Because this attack was far less powerful than the previous one, she actually managed to defuse Ryou's crisis this time. Not only that, she even had the strength to continue attacking her opponent.

Chapter 213 The Gauntlet Battle Between the Immortal and the Lone Swordsman

Just as Silky's blade was about to pierce his neck, a red mark suddenly appeared on Yuu Suzumiya's forehead. At the same time, his heart rate and body temperature rose rapidly, along with his strength and speed.

"Breath of the Sun, First Form, Waltz!"

She switched her breathing technique again, exhaling a cloud of fiery mist. With a speed that was barely perceptible to the naked eye, Suzumiya Yu unleashed a fiery slash forward, instantly sending the about-to-succeed Skykirk flying.

"Strength and speed have increased! And the sword techniques used are more powerful than ever before!" Skirk was sent flying backward, surprised by Suzumiya Yu's increased strength, while adjusting her posture to minimize the damage from the fall.

Ryou's expression was rather grim. He was just about to rush forward and deliver a fatal blow to Skirk when Xiao suddenly attacked him from behind.

Although they weren't friends, and could even be considered enemies, Xiao and Skykiku knew very well that if they didn't join forces to deal with Suzumiya Yu, they would die.

So the two reached a tacit understanding: to deal with Suzumiya Yu before their battle could begin.

Ryou Suzumiya's mood was extremely bad. His strength was enough to overwhelm the two of them, but he couldn't kill either of them instantly because powerful sword techniques required charging up. If he didn't charge up, the power would be reduced many times over.

Faced with the two's attacks, he had no choice but to parry and retaliate. The demon's body could regenerate infinitely, but he could not use any moves when attacked.

The three were thus locked in a stalemate, with none able to kill the others. But if one were to predict which side would ultimately prevail, it would undoubtedly be Yuu Suzumiya, as he could disregard the depletion of his stamina, unlike Xiao and Skylark.

Not only that, Xiao was also fighting at the cost of his life. Even he couldn't wear the Yaksha Mask for long, because the power of karma was too terrifying, and even he would risk losing his life.

Therefore, they must end the battle as soon as possible. Once the situation becomes a stalemate, Suzumiya Yu will undoubtedly be the one with the advantage. The only way to break the deadlock is to find him another enemy.

But...neither of them could immediately request reinforcements, so where could they find new enemies for Suzumiya Yu?

Thinking of this, Skirk couldn't help but look at the two guardian statues not far away.

Silky knew that a demon god's familiar was sealed beneath the Nine Pillars of Peace. Moreover, her purpose in coming to Emerald Slope was to break the seal and release that demon god's familiar.

However, she searched for a long time but could not find the central sealing point, so she was unable to break the seal.

However, not long ago, she overheard a conversation between Suzumiya Yu and Xiao. In the conversation, she learned that the central core of sealing the demon god's familiars was those two guardian statues. If they were destroyed, the sealed demon god's familiars would see the light of day again.

Skork didn't know just how powerful that demon god's familiar was, because she had never experienced the demon god war, or even the war that destroyed Kanria, so naturally she didn't know about things from so long ago.

However, since it is a servant of the demon god, its strength must be considerable. It shouldn't be difficult for it to cause some trouble for Suzumiya Yu, and she can take advantage of that time to escape.

If only we could alert that ancient god, he would personally kill Ryougu, which would remove a major threat to the Abyss Order.

With this thought in mind, Skirk immediately set her sights on the two guardian statues, but she didn't make it too obvious, because it would be troublesome if Suzumiya Yu noticed.

Moreover, Xiao wouldn't allow her to do that. After all, if the Demon God's familiars were released, it would be the residents of Liyue Harbor who would be afraid. Skirk doesn't have to worry about that, so she can act recklessly.

Xiao is different. He is a celestial being and the guardian of Liyue. No matter how bad the situation is, he would never joke about the lives of the people of Liyue. Therefore, he would never do something like releasing a demon's familiar.

"Sun Breathing - Third Form - Crimson Sun Realm!"

With a single strike, Suzumiya Yuu unleashed two crimson flames, repelling both Xiao and Skirk. He was still searching for a way to break the deadlock, a way to instantly defeat both of them.

Based on the pattern of their attacks, the next person to attack him should be Xiao.

Indeed, Xiao, already suffering terribly from the erosion of karma, still charged towards Suzumiya Yu with his weapon, only to be repelled with a single blow.

Yuu Suzumiya was prepared to face Skykirk's attack, but just then, he discovered that Skykirk had not launched an attack on him, and had even disappeared without a trace at the very beginning.

He looked around and saw that Skykirk was running towards the secret room. What was she doing? Was there something else inside?

No, that's not it. Suzumiya Yu quickly realized that Skirk's target was not the secret room at all, but the two guardian statues standing on either side of the secret room.

He knew that the two guardian statues were the sealing core of a demon god's familiar, and that if they were destroyed, the sealed demon god's familiar would be released.

This is not good news for Suzumiya Yu, at least not now. After all, he has to deal with both Xiao and Skok at the same time. If another demon familiar comes along, even he will find it difficult to cope.

Moreover, if the commotion here gets too big and Grandpa Zhong of the Hall of Rebirth finds out, it won't be good. If he takes action, then Ryougu will have to think carefully about whether to run to Mondstadt or back to Inazuma.

Therefore, he had to stop Skykirk; if she achieved her goal, he would be in even more trouble.

"Breathing of the Sun - Eleventh Form - Dragon Halo - Head Dance!"

Her figure transformed into a fiery dragon, moving at high speed. In just an instant, Suzumiya Yu arrived in front of Skyki. Xiao could have stopped her, but after realizing Skyki's purpose, she chose not to make a move.

The flame-wreathed blade slashed straight at Skirk, who was about to attack the two guardian statues, while at the same time, a huge fire dragon was unleashed.

The next second, Suzumiya Yu's blade struck Skykirk, and the huge fire dragon also bit down on her without mercy.

The surrounding temperature instantly rose, and blazing flames burst forth in front of Suzumiya Yu, as if they were about to burn the air itself.

Looking at Skykirk, who was surrounded by flames, he couldn't help but feel a little sorry. Even a demon god would have to be careful to deal with an attack of this magnitude, but Skykirk took the full hit, so it was highly likely that she was dead.

Chapter 214 Unexpected Turn of Events

Flames burned fiercely in the air. Suzumiya Yuu stared indifferently ahead. The aura of Skirk had completely disappeared. No matter what, he couldn't believe that the other party could survive such an attack.

Now that Skirk is dead, I can focus all my attention on Xiao.

Before coming to Liyue, Suzumiya Yu had a question: if his blood could not turn gods into demons, could it turn immortals into demons?

In a sense, there is a qualitative difference between immortals and gods. The definition of an immortal is simply that they are not human. Most immortals are very powerful, but there are always some exceptions.

For example, Yan Fei, like Gan Yu, is half-human and half-immortal, possessing half immortal blood.

Gan Yu lived for thousands of years, participated in the war between demons and gods, and even used her overly round body shape at the time to choke a demon to death in an almost absurd way.

Her strength is definitely above the Seven Stars level, and she can even be considered one of the best among all immortals, because the bloodline of the Qilin is extremely powerful. Gan Yu was destined to become a strong person from birth.

But what about Enhi? Suzumiya Yuu has never met her in real life, but from the background story in the game, it can be seen that Enhi couldn't even defeat the minions of the Abyss Order, and in the end, she only managed to escape with the help of Yura and her guerrilla squad.

Such a record seems rather shabby compared to other immortals, and could even be said to be insignificant.

It's truly shameful that a half-immortal with the bloodline of a celestial being almost killed by a lowly henchman.

Of course, Xiao can't be included. Before submitting to Morax, Xiao had been working on the edge of danger. His strength should be considered top-tier among the immortals.

If he could be turned into a demon, his strength would increase exponentially over time, and in the end, even Suzumiya Yuu couldn't imagine how strong he would become.

Moreover, Xiao now knows his true identity, and he absolutely cannot let him leave. Otherwise, if Xiao tells the other immortals about this, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Liang Gongyou isn't afraid of the immortals of Liyue. If he could, he could even devise a plan to kill all the immortals. But the problem now is that if he does something so crazy, Zhongli will definitely not stand idly by.

Having wiped out the immortals who had protected Liyue for thousands of years, Suzumiya Yuu didn't believe Zhongli would pretend to be blind. For him now, Morax was still an unattainable opponent.

Unless he can gather the last 20,000 points, as long as he can upgrade the combat system level once more, he will no longer be afraid of Morax. Even if all seven ruling groups of the mortal world attack together, they may not be able to subdue him.

"I'm sorry, Immortal Xiao. Although I feel a little bad, who told you to know a secret you shouldn't know?" Ryou Miyako held the blade and slowly walked towards Xiao step by step.

Xiao removed the Yaksha mask from his face. Because he had been afflicted by karmic obstacles for a long time, his face was extremely pale and his breath was very weak.

In this state, he might not even be able to withstand a single blow from Ryoumi Yu. Ryoumi Yu was aware of this, so she did not attack immediately.

"Hmm?" Suddenly, Ryou felt something. He turned around and saw that a void passage had been torn open in the air not far away.

Inside the void passage, the figure of a young girl quickly appeared; it was none other than Silky Kirk, whom Suzumiya Yu had already declared dead.

"How is this possible?!" Ryoujiro's face was full of disbelief. He couldn't accept that Skirk had taken such a strong blow, yet was still alive.

Fortunately, with his rich practical experience, Suzumiya Yuu immediately calmed down and began to think about how Skykirk had survived.

The problem lies in that void passage. If Suzumiya Yu remembers correctly, Abyss Apostles and Abyss Singers possess this kind of long-distance displacement skill, so it's not surprising that Skykirk has also learned it.

The ability to travel through space is a game-changer for Demon Slayer, whose combat system is not very advanced to begin with. With such an abnormal ability, Suzumiya Yui might not even be able to touch her.

But why didn't Skylark use this ability from the beginning? Could it be that this spatial teleportation isn't something that can be used at will, but rather that there are some kind of restrictions?

Suzumiya Yu had no time to think about these issues. The reappearance of Skykirk, who should have been dead, threw him off balance. Even if it was only for a moment, it was enough for the other party to succeed.

He swung his blade to try and stop Skykirk, but due to his momentary hesitation, it was too late.

Swords and blades imbued with stellar energy slammed heavily into the two guardian statues. The next second, a violent explosion rang out, and a plume of thick smoke rose up with the blast.

When the thick smoke cleared and Suzumiya Yu regained her sight, she found that the two guardian statues had turned into a pile of rubble.

Seeing this, Ryoujiro's forehead veins bulged, and his two fangs were also revealed. He was already somewhat irritable, and he was now extremely angry.

He charged at Skykirk with all his might, but Skykirk used the same trick again, tearing open a void passage behind him and disappearing into it.

When she reappeared, she was already far away, at a distance from which Suzumiya Yu could not possibly hit her.

"You two can keep that thing company while you play. I heard that even the Rock King Emperor has a headache with that guy." After saying this with a playful expression, Skork tore open another void passage.

This time, she left directly. As for where she went, Suzumiya Yu didn't know, because he wasn't a god and couldn't instantly observe every corner of the world.

Skirk escaped, leaving only Suzumiya Yu and Xiao behind, but the former's attention was completely off the latter.

Suzumiya Yu observed his surroundings, extending his senses into the ground, and then sensing a terrifying entity awakening deep underground.

The next second, the ground suddenly began to shake violently, and one by one, the Nine Pillars of Jingshi, which had been standing in various places on Cuijue Slope, collapsed.

The tremors even reached Liyue Harbor, leaving countless residents puzzled, while only the people of Moonsea Pavilion wore solemn expressions.

Keqing, who was working, sensed the change happening outside and hurriedly went out to check. She found that the epicenter of the earthquake was in the north, but she didn't know exactly where, because there was more than just Cuijue Slope in the north of Liyue Harbor.

"What's going on?" Ke Qing couldn't help but look at the guard standing on the side.

"This... should just be a normal earthquake, Lady Keqing, don't worry. The other Thousand Rock soldiers should have already gone to organize the people to evacuate."

Clearly, the guard hadn't realized the seriousness of the situation; compared to him, Keqing was much more meticulous.

Chapter 215 The Reviving Demon God's Familiar

"Is it just a normal earthquake..." Keqing rested her chin on her hand. Even in this situation, she could remain calm and think things through. This was the composure of the Liyue Seven Stars. "I don't think so."

After saying that, she raised her head again and looked at the guard: "Go organize a Thousand Rock Army squad. I want to go and see for myself what happened at the epicenter. If Ningguang sends someone to ask, just tell them that I have already gone there."

......
