Chapter 56

Ssh!

Another shot fell, and the aura on Osial became weaker and weaker.

"Get back!"

Gu Chen's words fell, and he retracted his spear and stabbed it toward the seabed.

Bang!

The silver-white long spear plunged into the seabed, piercing Osial's body hidden under the sea.

The sharp spear, carrying terrifying power, pierced through Osial's body without mercy.

Osial's body exposed on the sea surface was visibly going limp, slowly sinking toward the seabed.

【Paimon】: Is Osial dead just like that? (Paimon: Surprised)

【Dvalin】: No, Gu Chen shouldn't have killed Osial so rashly.

【Osial】: See? He can't do anything to me at all! (Spreading hands)

【Zhongli】: Is there a possibility that after killing Osial, Osial would erupt with terrifying power to pollute the sea? Precisely because he considered this, Gu Chen didn't deal the killing blow, but just suppressed Osial back?

【Osial】:...

Would you die if you didn't expose me?

Can't you save some face for a god?!

【Furina】: Five moves, I counted, five moves, just one move away from my guess, I won! (Venti: Celebration)

【Kaeya】: The difference is one move, but the gold content of this move is a Tartaglia! (Funny)

【Tartaglia】: What are you saying, what are you saying! Is it my turn to be the unit of measurement again? (Qiqi: Faints)

【Azhdaha】: If we set aside the factor of Gu Chen, it feels like Liyue's strength is very weak! Now I have more confidence! (Azhdaha: Roaring)

【Lumine】: Is there a possibility that the Geo Archon is really not dead?

【Azhdaha】:?

【Osial】: Heh, I don't believe it. I was about to hit Liyue Harbor. If it weren't for Gu Chen, Liyue Harbor would definitely be a river of blood. Morax hasn't appeared yet, why doesn't he care about his own people?

【Miss Ningguang】: Watch the video yourself.

Inside the video.

After suppressing Osial, Gu Chen returned to the shore, and the people of Liyue cheered for the hero's return.

After getting rid of the enthusiastic crowd, Gu Chen brought Lumine and Paimon to the Northland Bank.

As soon as they entered the door, they saw a jaw-dropping scene.

Tartaglia was arguing with La Signora, and Zhongli was standing beside them with a calm expression.

"It seems your acquaintances have arrived." La Signora said lightly.

"It's Zhongli and Tartaglia. Wait, you, you are that Fatui Harbinger!" Paimon pointed at La Signora, terrified.

"La Signora!" Lumine frowned.

"Heh, it's you. We met in the city of the bard, right? Not bad, you remembered my name well."

"Ah—after all, the feeling of watching a friend have their important item taken away while being powerless... it's hard to forget, right?"

La Signora, with an arrogant expression, sneered.

Tartaglia's expression suddenly became strange, and he stood aside without saying a word.

Ssh!

The sound of air being cut by a sharp blade came.

The tip of the silver-white long spear was already against La Signora's fair neck. Gu Chen said with a grim expression: "Venti holding back against you doesn't mean I'm willing to hold back against you. Before you speak, check your brain that has been scorched by fire!"

Feeling the stinging pain from the spear tip, La Signora was both shocked and angry.

She snorted coldly and said: "Understood!"

Gu Chen retracted his spear.

La Signora turned to look at Zhongli and said: "Let's not waste time. According to the contract, I have come to take your Gnosis, Morax."

"What are you talking about?!" Paimon was confused.

"The contract is complete. As you requested, I grant you the promised item."

Zhongli raised his hand calmly, and a pale yellow chess piece appeared in his hand—it was the Gnosis!

"What! So you are the Geo Archon?!"

Paimon was terrified, as if she were meeting Zhongli for the first time.

Although Lumine had guessed it before, she had no definite evidence. Now, seeing this scene, she showed an "as expected" expression and turned to look at Gu Chen, who was even calmer, as if he had known it from beginning to end.

【Hu Tao】:???

【Tartaglia】:???

【Miss Ningguang】: Sure enough, although I had guesses, now I can be sure: the Archon faked his death!

【Keqing】: I don't understand, why would the Archon do this?! (Kamisato Ayaka: Confused)

【Osial】: @【Azhdaha】 Stop contacting me, I'm afraid the Archon will misunderstand.

【Gu Chen】: Coward. (Funny)

【Venti】: Little brother, you aren't doing well either, no strength! (Funny)

【Azhdaha】: Speechless, what a loser. Why don't you dare to stand up and fight Morax? (Sneer)

【Azhdaha】: @【Zhongli】 Despicable villain, wait for the day I break the seal, I will definitely make you turn your fake act into reality! (Xinyan: Angry to death)

【Zhongli】: Welcome. (Spreading hands)
