At this moment, with the jade-colored wind pressure generated by 'Wind Spirit Swiftness' swirling around her, her own [basic abilities] underwent a comprehensive upgrade.

Finally, Ais was able to react to the high-speed sword strike that flashed with lightning.

"Bang~ Bang~ Bang~"

Both sides displayed a dazzling display of speed in their swordplay, exchanging blows no less than ten times in an instant.

It's clear that Ais's "My Style" swordsmanship is entirely based on straightforward slashing and thrusting, with almost no "skill" involved.

This is also the fundamental reason why she needs to equip the Sword of Despair, which has the attribute of being 'indestructible,' in order to fight with peace of mind.

Because her fighting style is inherently reckless and brute-force.

A typical fragile sword blade simply cannot withstand the weapon damage she causes.

Furthermore...

She has been fighting like this for many years. Even if she doesn't have much of a 'skill' advantage, her 'proficiency' is definitely not low.

The angle at which to swing the sword when slashing, how to ensure that the trajectory of the sword tip is a straight line when thrusting... Even without deliberate practice, these things have long been ingrained in her body through repeated combat.

And Keqing...

As a master of the "Cloud-Arriving Sword Technique," even without amplifying her power with lightning elemental force, she knows how to subtly flick her wrist and adjust the grip of her sword with her knuckles when drawing her sword. This makes her sword moves more difficult to catch and predict, without losing their power.

Moreover, the "Cloud Comes Sword Technique" is derived from the "Cloud Comes Ancient Sword Technique" from Liyue hundreds of years ago. Although it is an improvement on the latter's incomplete version, it has already shown that each has its own merits and demerits.

Generally speaking, the "Cloud Sword Technique" may vaguely contain some techniques of "using someone else's force against them," although it is still very different from the "Tai Chi Sword" on Earth, but...

The power and speed of the sword strikes in the 'Cloud Coming Sword Technique' will gradually increase.

In this way...

"!"

Within the vast birthplace of the floor master, Ais became increasingly apprehensive as the battle progressed.

Just now, after I activated 'Wind Spirit Swiftness', I had the upper hand for a period of time.

It could even be said that it briefly suppressed the opponent.

But now, in just a few dozen seconds, the opponent has already adapted to my attack rhythm.

Moreover, the sword technique, with its incredibly unpredictable slashing trajectories, gradually made her feel increasingly uncomfortable.

Because it's really too difficult to predict.

Sudden……

Swift as a sword—

With his right hand tightly gripping the 'Dragon's Roar in the Box' sword, Keqing suddenly thrust out with his left hand in a sword-finger gesture.

A lightning wedge shot straight toward Ais's location, like a throwing weapon.

Its flight speed is extremely fast, and it has already approached its target in the blink of an eye.

Ais only managed to dodge at the last moment by using 'Wind Spirit Swiftness' as propulsion.

At this moment, no one would think Keqing was 'despicable'.

Because Ais had already used her only magic.

This simulated battle was never stipulated from the beginning to be a contest of swordsmanship alone.

It is precisely under this premise that...

"Be careful."

Previously, Keqing's exquisite sword techniques, and even the throwing of the 'Thunder Wedge', were just 'normal attacks' and 'Elemental Burst'.

Now, as she uttered these words of reminder and her eyes narrowed slightly, this Jade Balance Star was already preparing to begin consuming her own 'magic power' in battle.

In short: The 'Genshin Impact version' has been switched to the 'Honkai Impact 3rd collaboration version'.

【My sword shines like my own light—】

In a mere instant, as Keqing began to consume 'magic power' to strengthen herself, her beautiful figure seemed to momentarily appear as a double image.

Hallucination?

No, it's not a hallucination.

That was a real, existing lightning element 'avatar'.

Or you could say it's an illusion.

Look closely...

"Whoosh~"

Ke Qing's almond-shaped eyes narrowed slightly, and it seemed as if arcs of electricity were flowing within them.

A translucent purple energy began to emanate from her body.

She walked briskly all the way...

"!"

Whether in Ais's field of vision or in the view of the many spectators, everyone only saw Keqing herself rushing forward first, and along the path she took, there were also several purple silhouettes.

This is the special humanoid construct that Keqing created using lightning elemental power after consuming her 'magic power'.

They can not only exist independently, but also merge with the main body that radiates lightning elemental power at any time... well, it would be more accurate to say 'overlap'.

If I had to say, it's exactly the same as the "Phantom Avatar" skill of the "Blue Fist Saint" in a certain disconnected city.

"Even the older Mei from Post-Harakuri uses this trick."

Ling Shu, who was also watching the battle, sighed to himself.

This move has high practical value.

Because once it's used, it means...

"Whoosh~... Bang bang bang~"

"Hmm~"

Ais, whose entire body was enveloped in a jade-green wind pressure, was forced to retreat step by step by Keqing's sudden attack.

Because with the latter, each sword strike is equivalent to several sword slashes superimposed on each other.

and……

"!"

Startled, Ais stared wide-eyed in astonishment.

At that moment, in her field of vision, Keqing herself, who had suddenly changed her tactics, was thrusting her sword forward.

But her illusory forms swung their swords in various ways: one slashed horizontally, another cleaved vertically, and yet another swung their sword upwards.

A four-pronged attack was launched simultaneously...

"Although it hasn't started drawing its blade yet, this is already a unique form of 'Secret Sword: Swallow Return,' right?"

Ying subconsciously made a sarcastic remark in the mental link.

Without a doubt, with the speed being equal... or even slightly inferior, Ais's side, relying solely on the 'Sword of Despair,' could not possibly completely defend against the rapid attack that came from four directions simultaneously, which could be described as a 'combination technique.'

Therefore, there is only one way...

【Tempest, go for it!】

Consuming a large amount of 'magic power' at once, it unlocks 'Wind Spirit Rush' in its second stage.

Instantly, the wind pressure around her expanded rapidly, forming a repulsive force field that forcefully pushed Ke Qing away.

As it flew backwards...

[The stars have returned to their places!]

Keqing easily dissipated the momentum from her body by using her Elemental Skill to move quickly, and stood not far away with her sword in hand.

Her breathing remained very calm.

But Ais, the rhythm of the battle has completely gone out of control.

"Amazing!"

Ling Shu and Ying stood beside Tiona and the others, all of whom were filled with amazement.

Grandpa Grace stroked his beard in frustration, saying, "I'm terrible at dealing with young girls like this."

"However, indeed..."

He nodded approvingly, "This is indeed a formidable rival that is well-suited to help Ais grow."

Chapter 230 Ah Qing, everyone was lying to you, how could that be...

"Bah~"

Swords clashed and weapons collided.

The fierce battle in front of the 'Wailing Wall' continues.

However, one side has already shown signs of decline and is retreating step by step.

"This is not a good situation."

Finn, one of the spectators, sighed helplessly, "Ais is starting to get impatient."

Everyone present knew very well that fighting against other people was different from hunting monsters, and the worst thing to do during a battle was to let excessive enthusiasm cloud their judgment.

Because low-intelligence monsters always go all out and are hostile to other intelligent races... They will deliberately leave flaws, set traps, lure you into making mistakes, and then seize the opportunity to launch a sudden counterattack.

Especially for a powerful swordsman like Keqing, whose sword techniques are incredibly strange (ingenious) compared to many other schools in the world today, it goes without saying that she is exceptionally good at creating illusions that are easy for opponents to misunderstand.

If I had to say...

Ais is a 'swordsman'.

Keqing, on the other hand, is a 'swordsman'.

When the two sides face off...
