Genshin Impact: Dionysus reigns supreme, all demons retreat!

Chapter 331 Uncertain Feelings

"Alright." Hailong wiped the seawater off his face.

The pain from the twisting motion caused the waves to become extremely unstable, constantly slapping against the ship's side.

The crew of the Death Star were all standing on the ship, completely soaked.

"Speaking of which, Mu Zhen, aren't you afraid that the energy will overflow and shock our own people? After all, we're all soaking wet."

Upon hearing this, Mu Zhen stepped forward and pushed Hai Long aside. "You need to learn to trust the capabilities of the First Technical Officer of Southern Cross. I know what I'm doing. If you're scared, let me and Fu Rong take the lead."

Without a word, Furong, the simple-minded and bold one, stepped forward and grasped the handle of the cross winch. "You don't even need to do this. I can turn this cannon by myself."

Mu Zhen nodded, "Okay, you control the left and right rotation, and I'll control the up and down angle."

This cannon was the Kamui Island Collapse Cannon that Xu Ning and Hokuto seized from the Inazuma Shogunate army.

Beidou was eager to test its skills in such a battle, but unfortunately, this cannon had a drawback: it turned too slowly and could only fire in a fixed direction.

The cannon was twisting and turning in the water, making it almost impossible to aim.

Fortunately, Mu Zhen came up with an extremely simple solution: she tied the cannon to a winch, with her eldest sister providing the power, while the other two pushed the winch to aim the Beidou system.

"Stop arguing, everyone, and focus on holding the gun. I'm about to fire!"

Beidou reminded the two of something, walked to the back of the Shenju Island Collapse Cannon, reached out and pressed the Oni Mask device that guided the energy, and lightning quickly gathered on his body.

After being modified by Muzhen again, this cannon could no longer fire a barrage of lightning as it had done in the Godless Tomb.

After all, according to Lord Beidou's requirements, that inefficient bombardment method gave the enemy too much time to dodge and defend, and it had to be changed.

As lightning surged across Beidou's body, a bolt of lightning, like a ribbon, suddenly shot out continuously from the cannon barrel, sweeping across and lashing at Ba Che's waist like a ribbon.

This attack struck Ba Che without any doubt; of course, given the level of power, it would have been difficult to miss.

"Is this all?" Beidou roared. "Is it comparable to me going up there and slashing him?"

Mu Zhen gritted her teeth and said, "Big Sister, don't stop! Furong, write a character with me!"

Under the control of Mu Zhen and Fu Rong, the entire bolt of lightning began to trace the curves of Ba Che's body in mid-air like a brush.

Ba Che twisted her waist wildly, the immense pain etched onto her body by the lightning becoming unbearable.

Moreover, those energy arrows have been attacking him relentlessly since the beginning.

Those damned ants!

Ba Che finally began to activate her powers, and huge waves surged around her, slowly rising to a height of tens of meters.

"This attack could very well cause enormous damage."

The team led by Yuhengxing Keqing had already set up defenses on this small island of Guyun Pavilion three days ago, in order to launch a fatal attack on Bache at the right time together with Beidou's fleet.

However, to everyone's surprise, Ba Che was so tough and resilient that even after a long attack from Gui Zhongji, she was still unable to inflict any fatal damage.

Although Ke Qing could see that Ba Che had probably suffered serious injuries due to their scheme, this attack was probably the strongest she could muster.

But these massive waves rise and fall, and it's unknown how many soldiers will be injured when they crash down.

The Jade Pavilion in the sky is naturally not afraid of the waves. The Big Dipper's great ship has been sailing the Cloud Sea for many years. It can even launch such lightning attacks while floating and sinking in the sea. Naturally, it also has its own rich experience in dealing with tsunamis.

The team he led, stranded on this isolated island, was essentially a sitting duck anchored to the sea.

These creatures, being intelligent beings, would never miss the opportunity to clearly identify and attack this corner of the formation.

It's too late to escape now; there's only one way forward: to continue the attack.

They killed Ba Che before they and the others fell.

"Oh no, the giant wave is about to crash down."

Standing behind Ke Qing, Gan Yu was slightly flustered.

As an immortal, Gan Yu had no need to come here.

However, when she heard that Ah Qing had volunteered to lead a team to ambush Ba Che, which meant she was standing on the most dangerous front line, she worried and finally decided to follow the team.

"Although Ningguang said that we should rely on humanity's own strength to overcome this crisis, and Zhenjun and the others also said that they would not take action unless the Seven Stars asked for it, but... but how can we just watch these people perish here?"

Gan Yu pondered the matter, but ultimately convinced herself.

"I exist in this world not just as an immortal, but as an ordinary member of Liyue, standing with this country."

A cold light flashed in Gan Yu's hand, and a large white bow covered in frost slowly appeared in her hand.

Just as she was about to draw her longbow and condense the chilling energy of the Ice Spirit Orb onto the arrowhead, a warm hand suddenly pressed against her wrist.

A gentle voice, mingled with the aroma of wine, drifted over.

"Don't worry, the big waves won't come down."

The speaker was Xu Ning.

He naturally saw the danger here and immediately used the power of the wind to fly to this isolated island.

What Ba Che could think of, how could he not have imagined it after witnessing this scene before?

Xu Ning closed his eyes slightly, focusing his mind on the rhythm of the Wind God's Heart. With a short distance between his raised hands, a huge gust of wind blew up from between his arms, clinging to the water wall, and actually wrapped around the giant wave, pressing it back towards Ba Che.

Ba Che roared angrily again, and through the shimmering water, it could clearly see Xu Ning's appearance.

The man who unleashed that earth-shattering attack on Oser back then was the one who started it all, along with the woman now in the Jade Pavilion.

Now, this guy is actually using the huge wind force to forcefully hold the tide he has summoned into the air. Not only can it not be crushed, but it also seems to be rolling back towards him.

This undoubtedly escalated Fang Ba Che's anger once again.

As the enormous serpentine body twisted, wave after wave of tides surged onto the wall of water, making it grow ever higher and heavier.

Xu Ning was already sweating, but he was in a precarious situation. If he couldn't hold on, the people behind him would be in danger.

Now we can only hope that Ningguang Beidou and the others can kill Ba Che quickly in the stalemate, otherwise once the big wave collapses, the team behind us will lose at least half of its members.

Ningguang, standing on the Qunyu Pavilion, and Keqing, on the isolated island, could both see that Xu Ning was struggling to resist Ba Che's power.

However, none of them paid much attention to Xu Ning.

Instead of wasting time on useless concern, it would be better to direct everyone to inflict more casualties on Ba Che and end this war quickly, which would be the greatest help to Xu Ning.

However, in the Qunyu Pavilion, there was one person whose gaze had been fixed on Xu Ning since the beginning of the war.

That's Shen He.

Shen He was indifferent to what everyone around him was doing.

After all, although this beast is powerful, its water-based magic cannot harm itself.

The soldiers resisting the invasion of Ba Che and the others who came to help were putting themselves in this dangerous place by their own choice, and their lives and deaths were of no concern to them.

But among all these people, there is one she absolutely cannot ignore: Xu Ning.

When Shen He saw Xu Ning go down to help those people hold back the waves, he did not feel resentment towards Xu Ning for being dragged down by these people. Instead, he felt an uncontrollable urge to kill Ba Che, who might harm Xu Ning.

"Anyone who intends to harm Xu Ning can be executed!"

A sharp spear gleaming with a faint blue light slowly appeared in Shen He's hand.

Standing to the side, Ningguang caught a glimpse of Ba Che's attack and a slight smile appeared on her lips.

Before Shen He even reached the edge of Qunyu Pavilion, snow began to fall around him.

The moment Shenhe landed on the sea, the waves within a radius of tens of meters around him instantly froze into a smooth and calm ice surface.

"Soul comes out!"

Shen He raised his hand, and an ice talisman appeared between his two fingers. With a wave of his hand, "Lu Ling" appeared beside her.

"Ice becomes a god!"

With a wave of his hand, Shen He sent the "Lu Ling" emitting a terrifying chill as it hurtled toward Ba Che ahead.

Wherever it went, snow fell everywhere.

The towering waves that Xu Ning was just bracing against instantly turned into thousands of piles of snow, which were swept up by the gale he summoned.

At this moment, Ba Che understood that he had encountered a powerful nemesis.

For Ba Che, who was already covered in wounds, continuing would only lead to his death.

A huge whirlpool swirled on the sea surface, and Ba Che was already prepared to escape.

"Don't chase the poor bandits!"

Xu Ning withdrew the wind element from his hand and called out to Shen He.

Xu Ning's shout wasn't out of fear that Shen He might have any accidents. After all, with his Ice-type Divine Eye, Shen He was a natural counter to Ba Che in this environment, so there was absolutely no chance of anything going wrong.

Rather, they genuinely didn't want to exterminate the monsters of Yunlaihai.

A certain amount of external danger is necessary; after all, danger is what drives everyone to move forward quickly.

The Beidou Death Star slowly approached, and Beidou was the first to jump directly off the ship's side.

"I can sense that Ba Che has already fled to the open sea."

"Not surprisingly."

Xu Ning smiled and said, "It wasn't originally a monster native to this place. Now that it's so badly injured, it naturally wouldn't dare to linger in a place like this for long."

After exchanging a few words with Beidou, Xu Ning turned to Shen He, who was holding the Disaster Relief Hand and looked like a fairy from the moon palace, and solemnly thanked him.

Shen He had returned to her usual calm and composed demeanor. Although she only nodded when she heard Xu Ning's thanks, Xu Ning could clearly see a hint of joy in her eyes.

As soon as Ba Che left, the surrounding sea returned to its usual tranquility, the dark clouds in the sky dispersed, and the sunlight once again shone from the high sky onto the earth and the sea.

Ningguang stood on the Qunyu Pavilion and solemnly announced to those below.

"We won."

Cheers erupted simultaneously from the sky, the sea, and the land, and even in Liyue Harbor not far away, cheers broke out at the same time.

We have triumphed. This race of people, who have struggled for millennia on the continent of Teyvat, has once again taken a small step forward.

Once the Death Star had carried everyone on the island, the Jade Pavilion and the Southern Cross fleet headed back towards Liyue Harbor.

At the dock, both were greeted with cheers and welcome from the people of Liyue Harbor.

Ningguang glanced at Xu Ning beside her and suddenly recalled the scene when she and Beidou, who were little girls, rode into Liyue Harbor in a carriage with this person.

"Ningguang, I want you to become the de facto ruler of Liyue, to stand guard over Liyue for me..."

"Ningguang, I will build you a celestial palace, its shadow casting over the seven kingdoms..."

That dream that seemed so far away back then now seems to be getting closer and closer.

"True Lord Liuyun Borrowing the Wind, have you reached a conclusion regarding this battle?"

Ningguang smiled and asked the little bluebird on Xu Ning's shoulder.

She naturally learned from Xu Ning that this bluebird was the representative of the True Lord of Cloud Retention and Wind Borrowing.

"Hmph, if it weren't for Shen He's intervention, you wouldn't have been able to succeed so easily."

Ningguang smiled and said, "What Zhenjun said is certainly true. However, even if Miss Shenhe doesn't take action, victory will still be ours. After all, my Qunyu Pavilion is not what it used to be. At worst, we can just tear down three or five pieces and throw them down to smash that Bache to death."

Ningguang wasn't exaggerating when she said that.

The newly built Qunyu Pavilion is naturally several times larger than the room that Xu Ning built for Ningguang last time.

Moreover, considering that it was used as a powerful weapon to suppress Oser last time, Xu Ning and Ningguang were very interested in this method of "using objects thrown from high altitudes to kill enemy leaders".

When constructing the Jade Pavilion, several extra Thousand Wonder Cores were specially created, making the Jade Pavilion a modular, spliced ​​structure.

At the center is the main pavilion, supported by a single piece of Mingxia Floating Life Stone, while the surrounding area is divided into four functional areas. Each of these areas can be detached and transformed into a meteor to launch a devastating attack on targets on the ground.

The Cloud-Borrowing Wind True Lord, skilled in mechanical arts, naturally saw through it at a glance and knew that Ningguang's words were true.

Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun turned to Shen He and asked, "Did you gain anything from your trip down the mountain this time?"

Shen He shook his head slightly, "Nothing much... but I'm still quite happy."

Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun nodded slightly, "That's good."

"In that case, I'll leave Shen He to you." Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun said, seemingly to Ning Guang, but also to Xu Ning.

Xu Ning nodded in agreement and said, "If True Lord has the time, you may come to Qunyu Pavilion to attend the victory celebration banquet."

Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun snorted and said, "Fine, I prefer peace and quiet. You can play by yourselves. I'm going back."

Ningguang instructed people to spread the news of the victory celebration banquet.

"Unlimited fine wine and food will be provided, and Mr. Yun will also be performing a new song on stage. Anyone who has made a contribution is welcome to take the stage. As for the others, if you don't have an invitation, please show some 'sincerity'!"
