Honkai Impact 3rd experience, starting with a thousand Herrschers

Otto observed Cheng Xing, wanting to know what kind of person he was and what special abilities he possessed.

For this reason, neither side has any intention of fighting at the moment, and they are both waiting for the other to make the first move.

The little girl who called herself Li Sushang, completely outside the scope of their thinking, was talking about how famous and powerful the Taixu Sword Qi she had learned was, how it was completely different from other internal energies and true energies, and how it cultivated the mind rather than the breath in the dantian.

He also said that his skill was inherited from the Crimson Kite Immortal, who is the only immortal in the entire land of China from ancient times to the present.

Cheng Xing wasn't very interested. When he was following the story, although he skipped most of the time, he still knew a little about Fu Hua's Taixu Sword Qi.

Although that thing essentially still utilizes Honkai energy.

Although Otto was somewhat concerned about what the Crimson Kite Immortal was practicing, he could easily see, with his Void Treasury and the Oath of Judah, that the so-called cultivation was nothing more than an application of Honkai.

He was more concerned about the doctor next to him who showed no special signs whatsoever, and whose body contained no trace of Honkai energy whatsoever.

"Even I didn't realize when he broke free of his restraints. Hmm, he's quite an interesting person."

The girl, completely out of her mind, was still thinking about how to break out of the cell. Then, as the others left, they saw the Rakshasa man carrying the coffin suddenly stand up, and the glass in his hand and the chair he was sitting on disappeared as if they were in a mirror or the moon.

This magical scene naturally surprised the naive Li Sushang, who exclaimed that it was sorcery.

Otto, seeing that the man showed no surprise whatsoever, knew that he had probably figured out the method he was using. Without much of a change in expression, he easily opened the cell door and said to Li Sushang, "Since you already have a plan, then go and give it a try."

"Is this the legendary sorcery? I really can't see any trick to it at all. It's truly amazing."

As Li Sushang spoke, she walked out of the prison and confidently led the two of them out.

Although there were a few guards outside with knives, Li Sushang, who was extremely skilled in martial arts, dealt with them very easily without giving them any further reaction. During the day, she had originally wanted to find these bandits, but she found them to be too weak, not even needing to draw her sword.

Meanwhile, the leader, known as the Eagle, was gripping the golden longsword in his hand with immense excitement, knowing that such a divine weapon would surely be of great use in many things in the future.

Just as he was brandishing his weapon and feeling incredibly happy about it, he suddenly saw a little girl standing there smiling at him from the broken wall.

"you!"

Before the eagle could fully recover, the little girl rushed over like lightning, easily snatched the weapon from his hand, and then said arrogantly, "Now, this heroine will take care of you!"

Cheng Xing stood not far away, covering his face. This guy was completely oblivious to the dangers of the martial world. He could have taken advantage of the opportunity to disarm the eagle and kill him on the spot, but instead he had to stand there openly and make some kind of announcement.

Which elder would trust her to come out like this?

Chapter 116: The Living Dead

As Cheng Xing watched from the sidelines, he increasingly felt that this girl was a bit dim-witted. With no experience in the ways of the world and being so naive, how could her family let her go out like that?

The other side said in a few words that they wanted a fair duel, and then, to ensure fairness, she threw away her sword and wanted to fight bare-handed.

Is this the spirit of chivalry? Why be so foolish?

"Isn't this gentleman going to offer any help?"

Otto stood behind Cheng Xing and spoke calmly.

"I don't understand what you're talking about. I'm really just an ordinary quack doctor. What martial arts skills do I have? If I really had any unparalleled martial arts skills, why would I have left my old place in such a hurry?"

Cheng Xing feigned ignorance as he looked at Otto behind him, but the latter simply stared at him calmly and said, "Just now in the dungeon, the shackles on your body were inexplicably removed. Although I know there are many people in China who pretend to be weak but are actually strong, if you don't step forward, that little girl will be in trouble."

Otto pointed to the battle ahead. The two people who were fiercely exchanging blows had one of them completely disregarding his vital points and injuries and lunging at the other. However, the woman suddenly stopped just as she was about to kill her opponent.

It's obvious that they haven't truly awakened to the truth or been stained with blood, so when they have the opportunity to take a life, they hesitate and shrink back.

The leader of the Golden Sands Gang, who had already been through countless battles and whose hands were stained with countless blood, snatched the peerless divine weapon and looked at the girl in front of him with a ferocious and terrifying killing intent on his face.

Finally, he swung his sword directly at the girl.

"...They really are too young..."

This time, Cheng Xing finally decided not to hide anymore. Although with the girl's skills, she probably wouldn't be in any fatal danger, his main reason for taking action this time was because of that sword.

"...Alas, this sword has never been worthy."

As soon as those words were spoken, the sword that was about to cut Li Sushang in two suddenly vanished without a trace, leaving the two combatants stunned.

Then he looked at Cheng Xing, who had appeared not far from them at some point, holding the golden longsword in his hand.

Cheng Xing gently stroked the sword, and the sword trembled slightly, as if it were responding to him with a soft murmur. This surprised Li Sushang, who had carried the sword for 10 years. Over the years, she had never felt that the sword had any spirit, and it never responded to any of her words or actions.

So why does it react when it's in someone else's hands?

I was here first!

Cheng Xing looked at the sword in his hand and felt a certain power emanating from it, and felt a strange sense of amusement.

"Xuanyuan... I am so ashamed to bear such a name."

This sword was forged from one of the many fragments that were spilled out when I was killed after leaving the space. In the original timeline, it was actually one of the weapons forged from the thousand cores of the Thousand Herrscher.

But this sword is called Xuanyuan... If it were the sword from the game, it wouldn't matter, since it's just a name given by others and passed down through generations. But it's different now. This sword was once part of my body, and after a part of my body was forged into a weapon, it was given such a name.

This name represents the ancestors of the Chinese people!

"...Who exactly are you?"

The eagle felt a chilling fear, an even stronger fear than when it saw the Rakshasa in the carriage. Its body and mind were telling it to get out of there immediately, or it would be impossible to survive!

It was a fear that even rationality couldn't suppress, a fear that made him scream and roar, desperately trying to escape.

Eagle was no longer able to think. He simply watched as the middle-aged doctor, who was about his age or even the same age as him, walked gently in front of him. Then, as if he had never used a sword before, he raised the divine weapon in his hand and stroked his neck as if he were wiping someone's body with silk. As blood flowed out, he lost consciousness.

After killing the gang leader, Cheng Xing planted the sword in the ground and looked at Li Sushang beside him, saying, "This sword has been returned to its rightful owner. Everything is fine, just don't call it Xuanyuan anymore..."

"It doesn't deserve it."

After saying that, Cheng Xing found his first-aid kit in the gang leader's room, slung it over his shoulder, and went to Otto, saying, "So, sir, are you planning to tour the land? Would you mind traveling with me on this journey?"

"Of course, no problem. But I'm curious how you managed to get that person to offer their neck for execution?"

Even though Otto used every means he could find no Honkai energy reaction during the previous action, which means it had nothing to do with Honkai?

Is this the legendary mysterious power within the Shenzhou spacecraft, and can this doctor help me find a way to revive Karen?

"It's just a mere illusion, a petty trick, not worth mentioning. But since you're here to explore the Central Plains, what is your goal, sir?"

"...I think, to be resurrected."

“Well… if the time since death is no more than 10 years, I do have some ideas.”

"what!"

Alto's previously sorrowful expression suddenly became agitated, as if a mirror had been shattered, and he became agitated and anxious. He tightly gripped Cheng Xing's clothes and asked, "Do you really have a way? I'm willing to pay any price to help me do this!"

"...Finish what I said first."

"The resurrection I can achieve is merely to gather together the lingering attachments of the original corpse or the attachments from the items it has collected over the years, and then briefly bring it back to life. It's just temporarily making a corpse move; it's a living dead."

After hearing this, Otto felt that everything around him was so surreal. He had come to the Central Plains with a sliver of hope, wanting to meet that immortal and see if he could find a way to be resurrected. He never expected that he would encounter such an extraordinary person before his journey even began.

"...Please, sir, perform this ritual. I would like to say just one last thing...."

Only after he finished speaking could his resolve become even stronger.

Cheng Xing wondered if Otto would still be as pure as he was in the future after their exchange. He also wondered if, at that time, Otto would be able to wholeheartedly fight against the Honkai and fulfill Kallen's desire for a better world.

I don't know, but for now we can only take it one step at a time.

It's impossible for me to figure out how to win over Otto myself, right? If this were when he was a child, I might have given up now.

Chapter 117: The Heart of a Broken Sword

Li Sushang was still staring blankly at the sword in her hand. After so many years, the sword she had carried for so long had been used so easily against a complete stranger she had never met before.

Who exactly is this so-called quack doctor? And why are there three strange people gathered in this small dungeon?

That Rakshasa man knew sorcery, and that so-called quack doctor also had mysterious and unpredictable methods that could make an eagle offer its neck for slaughter, and even make this sword respond to him... and it seemed very familiar, just like this sword!

Why does it feel like I, who originally had the strongest background among the three, have become the weakest?

Thinking this, the girl looked up and searched around, only to find that the two people were chatting and walking away into the distance.

"Wow! Wait for me!"

Li Sushang hurriedly chased after him.

However, she hadn't yet realized why not a single thief from the Golden Sands Gang had come out to check the situation, even though the commotion had been quite significant.

If she were to search them one by one now, she would find that the thieves seemed to have seen something unbelievable and terrifying, their faces contorted with horror, and they were scared to death.

The three of them didn't walk for long before they found a small sandy valley that was bathed in moonlight, which had a strange sense of tranquility.

What do you need me to do?

"Open the coffin, let me see if there are any lingering obsessions."

Otto hesitated for a moment. If a rare opportunity were to appear before him now, he couldn't give it up at this moment, could he?

When the coffin was opened, Li Sushang saw a white-haired woman lying peacefully inside. Her clothes looked particularly luxurious. Although it was a style she had never seen before, the fabric and decorations showed that this woman's background was definitely extraordinary.

If it weren't for the fact that he was already lying in the coffin and no longer moving, Li Sushang would have subconsciously thought that he was just sleeping.

Cheng Xing frowned as he looked at the corpses. Why did so many obsessions remain?

Given Kallen's personality in the original work, even if she has various attachments to this world, shouldn't she have accumulated so many obsessions? And shouldn't the most obsessions be with Yae Sakura? Why are they all here now?

With a hint of doubt and confusion, Cheng Xing asked Otto to place the cross accessory in his hand into Karen's hand, after which his eyes turned bloodshot.

Scarecrow's ability to manipulate fear and souls should have nothing to do with resurrection, but since the Herrscher of Domination's ability became completely compatible with his own, he has been able to control that extraordinary power and truly make it his own.

He used to be able to use his abilities in a simple way, but now he truly controls them.

As those obsessions continued to gather in Karen's body and gradually merged with her, the woman, who had originally had a serene expression, suddenly opened her sky-blue eyes.

Then the woman turned her head, her neck stiff, and looked at Otto and Cheng Xing with a helpless smile, saying, "Otto, you shouldn't have done this."

"Karen!"

Cheng Xing then grabbed Li Sushang, whose curiosity was practically overflowing, and dragged the little girl away in a forceful manner.

Before leaving, he also left a message.

"These obsessions may run deep, but they're only enough for you to talk for an hour. Say what you have to say quickly."

After the two left the area and found a suitable place to rest some distance away, Li Sushang looked at him with boundless curiosity and asked, "What's going on here? Can you really bring people back to life? How do you do it? Why does my sword respond to you but never respond to me? Just who are you?"

Faced with the barrage of questions, Cheng Xing remained calm and said, "Guess?"
