Feng Yan raised his white-tasseled spear, giving his final pep talk. As the chief instructor of the Thousand Rock Army, even though he had never been watched by the gods, he was willing to give everything for Liyue, which was created by the Emperor. Before he knew it, the Evil Eye was already in Feng Yan's hands.
At this point, Fengyan no longer cared about the consequences of using the Evil Eye. If Liyue Harbor were to fall to monsters, he would be betraying the trust Seven Stars placed in him, even if he survived.
"Today, we will fight to the death and never retreat!"
Feng Yan took a deep breath, and his thirst for power caused the Evil Eye in his hand to emit a captivating light. An indescribable power surged into Feng Yan's body through the Evil Eye.
Feng Yan dared to guarantee that he had never experienced such a wonderful feeling before, and now he was even confident that he could kill that Frost Armor King.
"Ya!"
Several Hilichurls, who had lost their minds, charged at Fengyan, brandishing their wooden clubs. Fengyan casually swung a horizontal slash, and the Hilichurls were sent flying as if they had been hit by a heavy blow.
"A thousand cliffs stand firm, towering peaks remain unmoved. Armored as a bulwark, it pacifies demons and vanquishes evil!"
After shouting the slogan, Fengyan brandished his white-tasseled spear and led the charge into the monster horde. He demonstrated the fighting spirit of the Thousand Rock Army to Liyue through his actions, and showed the entire Teyvat continent that Liyue, having lost its gods, would not fear any difficulties. For the name Liyue was not only written by the Geo Archon, but also forged with the blood and flesh of countless people with lofty ideals.
The name Liyue can withstand any test and wear and tear. Even the passage of time, which even the gods cannot stop, will not leave a single crack on these two words.
"A thousand cliffs stand firm, towering peaks remain unmoved. Armored as a bulwark, it pacifies demons and vanquishes evil!"
In these short sixteen characters, the Chiyan Army's resolve to die had reached its peak, and those protected by the Chiyan Army even began to weep silently.
"Damn it, anyone who's really interested in killing enemies, come get your weapons from me. I'm going all out today, I'm giving away all my weapons made of tempered steel!"
When the blacksmith Lao Zhang of Liyue Harbor saw the fearless appearance of the Thousand Rock Army, his eyes reddened, and he immediately took out all the weapons that he had prepared to sell at a high price.
Various weapons were laid out conspicuously in front of everyone, and within just a few breaths, all the weapons were snatched away. Several young men even shouted that they wanted to snatch the knife from Old Zhang's hand.
“Old Zhang, you’re too old for that. Let me go. You can stay back and focus on the weapons.”
"Bullshit, I'm not the kind of person who's content with the status quo. From now on, Liyue Harbor will belong to you young people. Today, I'm going to go up there and have a go at the monsters, no matter what."
One of the Thousand Rock soldiers felt his weakened body and saw the people behind him rushing onto the battlefield with their weapons. He still silently gripped the Evil Eye in his hand. He had already used the Evil Eye at the beginning of the battle, and as time went on, he felt more and more that something was wrong with the Evil Eye. This thing seemed to be absorbing his life force.
"Xiaoling, I'm sorry, it seems I have to break my promise. You'll be the only one releasing the lantern next time at the Lantern Festival."
Thinking back to how he had boasted to his daughter that morning about how he would be able to tell her one more story in the future, a hint of reluctance flickered in Qianyan Jun's eyes. From now on, only his mother could tell him stories about his father. As he watched the monsters charging towards him, the reluctance in Qianyan Jun's eyes vanished completely, replaced by pupils filled with a deathly resolve.
"kill!"
An evil force instantly enveloped the Thousand Rock Army soldier. He swung his spear directly at the Frost Armor King, determined to help his comrade resolve this trouble in his final moments. Even if he couldn't solve it, he could at least stall him.
"Brothers, don't forget to get me a good bottle of wine next time at the Lantern Festival. This big one is for me."
"It seems the protagonist of the next poem has already appeared. Don't worry, if I have time next time at the Lantern Festival, I will personally get you a pot of good wine."
The news brought by the wind made Wendy, who was at Wangshu Inn, feel a little emotional. Having witnessed too many partings and deaths, Wendy decided to pick up his quill pen, which he hadn't used for many years, and write a poem. The name of the poem, well, let's call it "Hero". Although these two words are common, they represent a lot of weight.
"I never imagined that someone could wield the Evil Eye to this extent. Is it due to their indomitable will or their powerful physique? Perhaps the Doctor would find this question very interesting."
"However, before that, please put on this moving show for me. But it seems there's a problem with the lead actor."
High up on the mountain, the skirmisher watched the figure on the beach with great interest. From the flashing silver light, the skirmisher could tell that Su Bai seemed to be drawing some kind of spell and had not noticed the strangeness in Liyue Harbor. Suddenly, he had a good idea.
Chapter 176 The Final Battle (1)
"Oh my~ I never expected that you could actually break the seal set by the gods. You know, that Rock King Emperor was a remarkable existence during the Demon God War."
"Ha, I don't remember our relationship being that good, Cannon."
Su Bai glanced sideways at the stragglers who appeared beside him, his tone not very friendly. At the same time, a bolt of lightning flashed and struck the stragglers. The stragglers smiled slightly and dodged the lightning.
"It seems you're still as mischievous as you were when you were a kid. I remember clearly how you used the old Kamui Island Cannon to shoot pigeons but accidentally hit the Ruins Guardian and were chased by it."
"It's been a long time since we've had a chat like this, Xiaobai. Have you thought about me? I really miss you."
Ignoring Su Bai's somewhat dark face, the soldier stepped forward and put his arm around Su Bai's shoulder, whispering something in Su Bai's ear as if they were good buddies.
"I have good news for you. The battle in Liyue Harbor is under control. The Thousand Rock Army is having a very easy time fighting them."
"Really? You're not kidding me, are you?"
Su Bai was overjoyed, but then he felt it was impossible. The demons infected by the power of the demon god had become much stronger. The Thousand Rock Army should not have been able to control the battle so easily. He was still thinking of dealing with Oser as soon as possible to help.
"Lie to you? How could I possibly lie to you? We've known each other for so long, when have I ever lied to you?"
"Little White, let me tell you, the reason why these Thousand Rock Army soldiers were able to control the battle so easily is because they accepted my gift."
"Your gift? Could it be the Evil Eye?!"
Su Bai's pupils contracted, and a bad premonition rose in his heart. He had done some research on the Evil Eye. That thing was a heretical thing that temporarily strengthened one by overdrawing one's life force, and it should never have been made.
The soldier chuckled and released Su Bai's shoulder. He neither confirmed nor denied the answer, but seeing the soldier's expression, Su Bai already knew the answer in his heart.
"Scattered soldier, don't you have any feelings at all? You were so kind to me when I was a kid..."
"That's enough, stop talking, Xiaobai. You need to know that people who can be swayed by emotions are just useless."
The soldier interrupted Su Bai loudly. He was no longer the same person he used to be. He no longer needed emotions; all he needed now was power.
"Trash? Scattered soldier, do you want to become a monster unaffected by emotions?"
A trace of sorrow flashed in Su Bai's eyes. How long ago was it that the two of them squatted together on the dock eating fisherman's toast, caught ghost beetles in the woods, made tea with water slime, and trained the abyss mage to swim? Had he really forgotten these things? Or had he never cared at all?
"Don't look at me like that. Creating conflict and letting power attract the weak who seek it is all done voluntarily by the weak, and has nothing to do with me."
"Of course, I wasn't the one who started this conflict."
Looking at Su Bai's angry face, the soldier felt extremely satisfied. It was that same look in his eyes back then, when he looked at Su Bai hiding behind the Eightfold Divine Child. "Be angry, hate me, let me see how far you can go."
"Trading your life for supreme power, isn't that a pretty good deal?"
"Worth it? Do you think you can lose everything in exchange for power?"
"Don't look at me like that. They would have died in this battle even without the Evil Eye, but now, the Evil Eye has at least given them the chance to fulfill their wishes, hasn't it? So from another perspective, perhaps you should thank me."
The soldier was toying with an evil eye in his hand. He had always wanted to give this evil eye to Su Bai, but Su Bai had already left Daoqi by then. Perhaps, now was a good opportunity.
Su Bai scoffed at the soldier's words, but he couldn't afford to be too distracted. If he made a mistake, all his previous efforts would be wasted. The soldier beside him didn't seem to want to cause trouble.
"In this fleeting world, human life is as fragile as grass. Now that these people possess the Evil Eye, they are like bubbles in water, dazzling yet destined for destruction. Don't you find that amusing? Hahahaha~"
"Where's the fun in all of a sudden? What's so funny about it? What do you take your life for?!"
Lightning elements exploded around the skirmisher, and countless wind blades condensed around Su Bai and slashed towards the skirmisher. The skirmisher tilted his head and easily dodged Su Bai's attack.
"Xiaobai, don't be so impatient. You're drawing a talisman right now. If something goes wrong, it will be a real problem."
“Skirmisher, you know what? I’ve never wanted to kill anyone as much as I do now.”
"Haha, really? I'm truly honored. Unfortunately, Xiaobai, you can't do that right now."
Looking at Su Bai, who was gritting his teeth, Sanbing was extremely happy because the farce was about to reach its most exciting part, which was also the part he was most looking forward to.
"Little White, the Fel Fox you sent out to scout out the situation in Liyue Harbor should have shown you everything, right? How is it? Are many Thousand Rock soldiers using the Evil Eye?"
"The more you lose, the more you want to get back; the more powerless you are, the more you struggle. This farce is really hilarious, hahahahaha."
Su Bai had no time to argue with the stragglers. The Thousand Rock Army was now fighting like madmen. When someone fell, the remaining soldiers would take the Evil Eye from that person's hand and continue fighting. This resulted in the monsters in front dying before the monsters behind could even reach the front.
At this moment, Liyue Harbor showed a counter-offensive trend, and the defensive line expanded outwards significantly. However, Su Bai was not happy at all. These Thousand Rock Army soldiers were consuming his life force. If this continued, the Thousand Rock Army soldiers would eventually exhaust their life force and leave this world.
"It seems you already know what happened in Liyue Harbor, so I won't bother you any longer."
"Oh, I almost forgot, this Evil Eye is for you. The Evil Eye can grant the user very powerful abilities, so use it wisely~"
The soldier tossed the Evil Eye to Su Bai, who caught it with his tail. The evil aura emanating from the Evil Eye made Su Bai very uncomfortable.
"By the way, using the Evil Eye is very simple; you just need to use your consciousness to mobilize its internal power. Of course, there will be some side effects when using it. Goodbye, Liyue's fox spirit~"
The soldier turned around, a wicked smile on his lips. "Now that the Rock King has passed away, the contract you made with him to protect Liyue is no longer valid."
Xiao Bai, let me see! Now that you're free of all constraints, what will you choose? I'm getting more and more excited!
Chapter 177 The Final Battle (2)
In the alleys of Liyue Harbor, Hu Tao had already tied up all the Fatui members. Through her intimidation, Hu Tao followed the alley and found a large number of bombs planted by the Fatui.
After destroying the last bomb, Hu Tao wiped the sweat from his forehead, looked at the pile of abandoned bombs behind him that resembled a small mountain, and breathed a sigh of relief.
"You Fools are really bold, burying so many bombs in a place like this. If these bombs were to detonate, Liyue Harbor would probably be destroyed by one-fifth."
Walnut used her staff of homa to make a hole in the Fool's squad leader. These Fools were incredibly audacious. If these things exploded, the nearby Hall of Rebirth would probably shake violently. Their Hall of Rebirth was an ancient building, and if it shook violently, she would probably have to rebuild the Hall of Rebirth.
Growing angrier as she thought about it, Hu Tao made several more holes in the Fools' squad leader. Despite her young age, Hu Tao had seen all sorts of deaths and knew exactly where to stab someone to cause pain without being fatal. To test her idea, Hu Tao had even read several medical books.
"Big sister, just give me a quick death. I have six or seven holes in my body. Just kill me."
“Kill you? That won’t do. I’m going to hand you over to Miss Yelan. She’s very interested in your Fools’ plot.”
"Huh? Yelan? That villain who loves to torture people the most? No, no, no, you might as well kill me. There's a saying in our Fools' Clan: 'It's better to commit suicide than to fall into Yelan's hands.'"
Hmm, it seems I've discovered some incredible secret. Hu Tao touched her smooth chin and decided to ask her about it.
"Why are you Fools so afraid of Miss Yelan? Miss Yelan doesn't look fierce at all."
"Huh? Not fierce? Don't be ridiculous. None of the Fools who fell into that person's hands survived."
Hu Tao was completely bewildered by the Fools' strange words. Good heavens, was that seemingly kind older sister really that terrifying? She hadn't thought so before; she only knew that Ye Lan loved spicy food.
Forget about all that. Just drag these fools out into the street and have a few people watch over them. She still needs to support the Thousand Rock Army. Once the war is over, she'll tell Ke Qing about this. Ke Qing should be able to find out the reason behind it.
On a high mountain near Liyue Harbor, a soldier's eyes gleamed with anticipation. "Yae no Kami, you have warned Su Bai more than once to stay away from me and not to accept the power of the Evil Eye, but now does Su Bai still have a choice?"
"I wonder if Yae no Miko will hate me to death if she finds out about this? But it doesn't matter, it's not like I forced Shiro to use the Evil Eye. Even if she finds out in the end that I did it, there's nothing she can do about it."
The soldier seemed to already see the Yae no Kamiko hating him but being unable to do anything about it. A feeling of pleasure rushed into his brain, making the soldier burst into laughter.
"An evil eye?"
Meanwhile, Su Bai, who was still filling the seal, had a dark expression. To be honest, he did not mind using the power of the Evil Eye in such a critical moment. However, there was one thing that Sanbing forgot: all the immortal techniques Su Bai knew were activated by immortal power, which was generated from Su Bai's body. He could use them as skillfully as if they were his own hands and feet.
It's impossible to suddenly ask Su Bai to use other powers to activate immortal techniques. He's not familiar with the power of the Evil Eye at all. Even if he had the Evil Eye, he still wouldn't be able to use immortal techniques.
"Giving me an evil eye won't help, I don't know how to use the power inside it, it won't solve the problem at all."
Su Bai was speechless. The power of the Evil Eye was extremely unstable, and he had no way to use its power to solve the current problem. If he forced it to be used, Su Bai was worried that the power would backfire on the seal he was filling.
Has the Scattered Soldier spent too much time with the Fools these past few years? Has he gone mad? How can this guy be so confident that he, a little fox, can control the power within on his first use of the Evil Eye?
"None of them are reliable, and in the end I have to figure it out myself."
Su Bai silently calculated the amount of immortal power left in his body. Hmm, not much left. Damn it, don't let me run into you again, or I'll definitely kill you.
