Honkai Impact 3rd, but I have too many mods.

Feixiao sighed.

The obsession that has sustained the swordsman named Huang Quan to this day...

This is especially true of the obsession of those who seek self-destruction.

"So, to get back to the main point, Huang Quan has probably figured out a new path and is on it, but it's not working."

"A conflict?"

"It's not really a conflict. It's like a hunting expedition. He disappeared after shooting an arrow that destroyed the Jianmu tree, and when he reappeared, he was the Star God."

Huanlong found an example that was easy for Feixiao to understand.

"Although Huang Quan's situation is a little different, in essence, if she could unleash her full power in a strike against the void, as long as she survives, she should be able to forge a new path."

"...This is way too difficult!"

"For her, it was just something she had to do."

Huanlong shook his head.

The difference between the necessary actions lies in the "will to live." Although Huanlong has never seen Huang Quan at his peak, it is conceivable that if Huang Quan encountered the Void at that time, he would have absolutely no will to live when he wielded his sword.

But now... at the moment Huang Quan wields his sword... he should think of Liu Bai, right?

(A fate opposite to nothingness... It feels even smaller than a hunting expedition.)

No, it might be very big.

It's even as large as storage.

(Is it simply a denial of nothingness, or the opposite of nothingness...?)

However, no matter which path they choose, as long as they can reach the underworld, they are nothing more than ordinary mortals to them.

(However, from a certain perspective, it's not impossible that this powerful demon might eventually become a star god exclusively belonging to Liu Bai.)

Huanlong even made a lighthearted little joke in his mind.

After all, this kind of road is as narrow as an ant hole, how could there possibly be such a star god there?

And there are no destined travelers on this path, no fools would embark on such a stupid journey... right?

...Is this really a joke?

Huanlong suddenly stopped laughing.

The more I think about it, the more likely this seems to be.

...Huang Quan's desire for revenge, his desire to save the world, his love for Liu Bai...which one is stronger now?

"So for those who want to challenge Huang Quan's position... this is bad news, Huang Quan's strength has begun to recover."

Huanlong shook off his distracting thoughts and glanced at Feixiao.

"Why are you looking at me? I'm even with Liu Bai! I have nothing to do with him now! Besides, even if Huang Quan's strength doesn't recover, those people still can't beat him!"

"It's quite funny."

"Huh?! What's funny? Explain yourself!"

-

As for the beach battlefield, the outcome is already clear.

Huang Quan didn't even glance at Jing Liu, who was struggling to get up. He exited his white-haired form as if nothing had happened, tied up his sword, and turned to leave—Huang Quan had slashed him directly with the sword still in its sheath.

Okay, if we don't bring scabbards, we'll all have to rely on mirror attacks.

...They probably won't eliminate the immortality of the abundant evil creatures along with them, um, probably.

"Thank you for your guidance..."

Jingliu's words received no response from Huangquan.

"Is everything okay?"

Mei helped Kagami Ryu up from the side.

"Miss Jingliu...did you offend Sister Huangquan in any way?"

Mei was puzzled. Jingliu had come over to introduce himself after seeing them practicing martial arts, but he was killed by Huangquan right after he finished.

"……do not know."

Jingliu looked down and saw that the black veil covering his eyes had been cut by the sword energy.

Fortunately, this isn't a fairy ship, so hatred won't rise up.

Moreover... enveloped by such terrifying sword intent, Jingliu felt a long-lost sense of relief at surviving, and had no time to harbor hatred.

...It was as if, years ago, Cangcheng had been devoured by monstrous creatures.

It was as if the young girl was defeated by the giant beast and was about to abandon her sword.

At the moment the sword intent descended, Jingliu thought of his former self.

...I gained a lot.

That's why Jingliu expressed his gratitude.

But as for why Huang Quan suddenly beat her up...

She really doesn't know.

"...Perhaps it was that Lady of the Underworld who saw through my weakness."

Jingliu remained silent for a moment, then gave Huang Quan a reason.

Strong people, especially those who are willing to guide others, deserve respect even if they are not very reasonable.

"No, I think it's just because the sword energy you released when you first came out was sensed by Huang Quan."

After Feixiao finished talking with Huanlong, he also came over to check on Jingliu and made some comments.

Huang Quan isn't exactly the kind of person who's "everyone's good mother." While it's not to say that she only has eyes for Liu Bai, she certainly doesn't socialize much.

The people this person is most familiar with right now are Mei and Mei, as well as Katsura Naofumi, Ryuho, and Kujo Sara, who have lived under the same roof for a long time.

"...?"

Jingliu's crimson eyes were filled with doubt.

Sword energy? That sword energy was unintentional, and it shouldn't be something that would concern such a powerful person, right?

Although he didn't want to admit it, Jingliu knew very well that the other party's realm was far more profound than his own... and extremely so.

Jingliu thought he was already extreme, but he never expected to meet someone even more extreme.

"Um... how am I supposed to explain this to you..."

Feixiao scratched her head. She was concerned about her reputation, and some things were really hard to explain.

"She and Liu Bai are very close, and then you unleashed sword energy in the studio. Understand?"

"..."

"It's just that... a strange teammate suddenly appeared, drew a knife to scare Bai Heng, and might even have kicked her a couple of times."

"...That's a vivid example, don't use it next time."

Jingliu glanced at Feixiao, then... stepped over Feixiao and looked at Yueyu.

Wait a minute... this fox-person...?

After the black veil was removed, Mirror Stream's ability to collect information immediately improved by two levels.

Someone like Yue Yu... well, his aura is unremarkable, but his demeanor and the power hidden within his body...

Heavenly General?

No... Fox-man Heavenly General...

"My name is Yue Yu. I have met the Sword Master."

Since the Mirror Stream doesn't possess the characteristics of abundant evil spirits, and humans also have reason, it's only natural that Moon God gives the Mirror Stream respect.

After all, someone who has died once doesn't need to cause trouble for no reason.

"I remember the name is..."

Jingliu had been very concerned about the situation of the Immortal Boat, not to mention the recent invasion by the monstrous creatures. "Are you faking your death?"

"No, he's really dead."

Seeing Jingliu's expression, Yueyu immediately corrected him, "But... Lord Liubai has many amazing things."

Tsukimi's words were brief and to the point, and Kagami fell silent as well.

The meaning of this is quite obvious.

resurrection.

Liu Bai can revive Bai Heng.

If someone were to say something like that directly, Jingliu would definitely show a look of disgust and hatred—it would remind her of the time when she was fighting the evil dragon.

The resurrection of the dead is nothing but an illusion.

But now... Tsukiyu is a "living" example.

Jingliu took two deep breaths, gently pushed away Mei who was supporting him, and drew his sword, pointing it at Yueyu.

"General Yueyu...please enlighten me."

"To be able to spar with the renowned Sword Master of Luofu is something I could never ask for."

Yue Yu didn't ask any further questions and immediately took out his longbow. "Please instruct me."

-

[Mirror Flow's Affection Level: 15→19]

Why does it feel unusually noisy today?

"It's probably because the new teammate is still getting used to everyone."

-

"...The title of Luofu Sword Master is well-deserved."

Tsukimi and Kagami each took a step back.

Both of them obtained the information they wanted.

Jingliu confirmed that Yueyu was a "normal person." If it weren't for his own information and Yueyu's own words, Jingliu would never have believed that Yueyu was not dead.

Meanwhile, Yueyu gained a more detailed understanding of Jingliu's situation.

The Mirror Flow suppressed the demonic body, but not completely.

"I don't know something."

Yueyu looked at Jingliu, "Why must you fall into the demonic path?"

Those who can suppress demonic influences are definitely not the kind of people who are destined to fall into depravity.

"Pursue power."

"...Isn't the power of the Heavenly Generals enough?"

Yueyu looked intently at Jingliu.

Yue Yu had to admit that Jing Yuan was an excellent and reliable elder and general, one that she could hardly match.

But... at that time, Jing Yuan was not the first choice for general no matter how you looked at it.

It could even be said that Jingyuan's only advantage over Jingliu is the label of "local," which is something that is impossible to be given special consideration in this situation.

"It is said that General Jingyuan's dream in his youth was to become a chivalrous seafarer who could roam the universe and uphold justice."

At that time, Jingliu had everything he wanted. Objectively speaking, if she were in charge of making the arrangements, she would definitely let Jingliu succeed as general and Jingyuan be promoted to sword master—after all, Jingyuan was also Jingliu's disciple, so it would be reasonable for him to be promoted to sword master.

"...At that time, I was already tainted by demonic influence."

"The fairy boat never abandons the bridge after crossing the river."

Yueyu shook his head, not agreeing with this reason.
