Chapter 63

Looking at the little secretary’s firm expression...

Shenhe seemed to understand something and said: "Rest assured, if he cannot hold on, I will intervene..."

As a cultivator,

she understood Su Han’s mindset.

Don't let his usual appearance as a slacker fool you.

In reality, he would never let go of any opportunity to cultivate.

Even when the two of them slept in each other's arms,

she could still feel the circulation of his internal meridians.

Shenhe had never seen anyone so obsessed with cultivation.

Even her Master could not compare!

"Although it looked cool, the power of Haki has plummeted by three-quarters; it seems impossible to kill him. However, a counterattack is still necessary."

Su Han withdrew his palm,

and took the Snow-Drinking Mad Blade from his space.

Black Haki coiled around it.

The originally silver-white blade turned pitch black in this moment.

Scaramouche saw this scene and couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

Is this the black fist,

the black weapon,

mentioned in the intelligence reports?

So it was coiled onto it.

"Hey... Kunikuzushi, you’ve been attacking for so long. It must have felt great, right? Now, take a move from me!"

"If you can withstand this, then... I’ll let you leave today."

Su Han’s words shook Scaramouche to his core.

How could this guy know my name?

Who is he?

Could he also be from Inazuma?

Taking advantage of Scaramouche’s mental turmoil, Su Han chose to strike.

At this moment, he brought out all of his power!

Sun Breathing was activated.

The Five Thunders Method was triggered to stimulate the cells in his body.

The power of Haki was fully unleashed.

"Thunder Roar of a Thousand Fathoms · Snow Weeping Cold..."

A slash infused with all his power

landed fiercely on Scaramouche’s body.

A single strike caused him heavy injury, leaving deep wounds branded on his chest and arms.

Thunder.

Fire.

Haki.

Frost.

Four types of power intertwined continuously.

Only a scream was heard.

Scaramouche was sent flying hundreds of meters, stopping only when he hit a cliff face.

And that cliff face

formed a massive crater.

Although it was a bit despicable,

Su Han didn't care about that; he had enjoyed the fight.

Scaramouche continuously channeled his power,

finally neutralizing Su Han’s slash.

However, he was now in a miserable state, his clothes almost entirely torn.

A scar had also appeared on his face,

and his shoulders and arms were covered in wounds.

"Damn you, you have completely angered me..."

Scaramouche roared in anger.

But responding to him was the roar of a group of Millelith.

"Aim at the enemy!!!"

"Fire cannons!!!"

Boom.

Boom.

Boom.

Hundreds of cannonballs fell like rain, all locked onto the area where Scaramouche was.

At that moment, Scaramouche looked at Su Han,

his eyes full of disbelief.

How did he notify the Millelith?

At the same time, a thought arose in his heart.

This guy was much more despicable than he had imagined.

Perhaps from the very beginning of dodging attacks, the opponent had been stalling for time.

All for the sake of waiting for the Millelith.

And that slash, he feared, was also his last resort.

Lan Tian 456348770

Damn it.

The artillery fire continued to fall.

Scaramouche cursed incessantly.

[I am very sorry for the late update, there will be five more chapters tomorrow. 15,000 words daily...]

Cannonballs fell like rain.

Relentless bombardment.

At this moment, Scaramouche had no will to fight left.

Fight?

With what?

He was indeed strong; otherwise, he couldn't have held the position of a Harbinger.

But the enemy had a full fleet of one hundred warships!

Cannonballs flew as if they cost nothing, crazily bombarding him.

It was just like whack-a-mole.

What troubled Scaramouche most was—how did they notify the Millelith?

This place was clearly far from Liyue Harbor, and when he arrived, he had carefully observed the surroundings.

There shouldn't have been any Millelith nearby.

Scaramouche couldn't make sense of it no matter how hard he thought.

He could only conclude that Liyue had prior warning.

“It's just a pity that this heaven-sent opportunity was wasted, failing to kill that guy. If I had known it would turn out like this...”

Scaramouche dragged his injured body.

He潜入ed into the seabed.

Relying on immense strength, he quickly left the bombing zone.

On the Millelith fleet.

A flash of lightning flickered.

Soon Keqing appeared before Su Han.

She asked anxiously, “Are you alright? Are you hurt anywhere? Why aren’t you speaking...”

“No, just a bit tired.”

Releasing all his power at once.

It felt satisfying.

But the exhaustion was real.

Su Han now found even moving extremely difficult.

Yet his appearance made Keqing suspect he was lying... putting on a brave front in front of so many people.

Su Han felt embarrassed.

So, Keqing directly picked up Su Han and flashed toward the Going Merry.

A Thunder Wedge lit up.

The two vanished.

Meanwhile, the Millelith began landing on the island.

“Where exactly is he injured? Why can’t I see any wounds...”

On the ship.

Keqing tore open Su Han’s upper clothes, inspecting him with utmost seriousness.

But she found no wounds at all.

Could it be below?

The Yuheng Star furrowed her brows, about to reach for Su Han’s pants.

At that moment, a hand stopped her.

“He isn’t injured. He’s merely exhausted.”

“Then why didn’t you help earlier? That opponent was a Fatui Harbinger! If anything had gone wrong, none of us could have borne the responsibility.”

Keqing glared angrily at Shenhe.

And she was supposed to be an immortal’s disciple.

How could she not understand what was at stake?

Just because Su Han didn’t call for help, you didn’t go over?

Her demeanor.

Made Su Han, lying on the deck, chuckle. Since when had Keqing become so concerned about him?

“Don’t blame Shenhe. I told her not to interfere...”

“You still defend him! If you act recklessly like this again, I’ll seriously consider asking Lady Ningguang to assign someone to watch you twenty-four hours a day.”

Only those who had worked closely with Su Han.

Could truly understand his importance.

Right now, Liyue could afford to lose anyone.

Except him!

Su Han’s importance now ranked first in all of Liyue.

As long as he existed,

There was infinite possibility.

Looking at the pouting Yuheng Star, Su Han reached out and pinched her cheek, smiling: “I just wanted to test my own limits.

Besides, didn’t I already tell you?

Without reaching the second stage of Haoshoku, I wouldn’t have dared challenge that guy Scaramouche.”

Slap.

The hand on her face was swatted away by Keqing.

“If you want to test your strength, fight with that subordinate of yours, the one named Kazuha! There’s absolutely no need to risk your life against the Fatui. Don’t you realize how badly they want you dead...”

“Hahaha...”

“What are you laughing at?”

“My hand hurts. I thought touching your cute face would make it feel better.”

“...”

In the end, Su Han’s hand naturally failed to rest on Keqing’s face as he wished.

After all, that would be too improper.

But his head lay upon her jade-like thighs.

Slowly, he drifted into sleep.

Watching the sleeping Su Han, Keqing sighed, “I was a bit too hasty earlier. Maybe he has his own pride...”

“Mm. My master often says men stubbornly cling to strange things—probably referring to someone like him. Still, that Armored Power...

It really is strong.”

He blocked the enemy's attack with just one hand.

Recalling that move from earlier.

[93] Shen He still found it somewhat unbelievable.

Shenhe still found it somewhat unbelievable.

If she had mastered the second stage of Supreme Sovereignty.

Protecting him would be even easier, wouldn't it?

Keqing sighed helplessly, "Sigh, even if he cultivates the second layer of Supreme Sovereignty, his foundation is still insufficient. The Fatui Harbinger Scaramouche has cultivated for a very, very long time."

At most, he hasn't even trained for a full month.

How could he possibly match up against such an opponent?

Truly... never mind, saying more will only trouble him.

We can only pay closer attention in the future."

Shen He nodded, looking at Su Han lying on Keqing’s jade-like thighs, inexplicably wishing he would come over and rest on her own instead.

It seemed she should be the one regarded as his partner.

A strange emotion.

Gradually rose within her heart.

On the island.

After investigation by the Millelith, Scaramouche had already escaped.

Only fragments of clothing were found at the scene.

"Reporting to you, my lord—the enemy has fled!"

"Understood. First squad... sixth squad, eighth squad, establish outposts here. From today onward, we are stationed at Guyun Stone Forest."

"To ensure safety within Liyue's coastal waters."

"Such incidents must never happen again! Do you all understand?"

"Yes, my lord..."

Watching the soldiers busily setting up camp.

The officer nodded in satisfaction.

The National Treasure had been attacked. No matter who the enemy was.

This was his failure in duty.

As a high-ranking official of Liyue, someone who frequently attended meetings at Yuehai Pavilion.

He naturally understood the importance of Master Su Han.

Since an attack had occurred once at sea, it must not happen a second time.

Moreover, Guyun Stone Forest served as a vital barrier protecting Liyue.
