Protagonist:
Xuan Ge
"It really is him! It really is the General! Fa Nan, did you see that?"
When Xuan Ge revealed that blue-gold long spear, Ying Da held Fa Nan and bounced with joy.
"I... I saw~" Fa Nan's gaze remained stuck on Xuan Ge, completely ignoring the fact that she was about to have trouble breathing from being squeezed so tight.
Mi Nu noticed Fa Nan's little face was flushed red; at first he thought it was because she missed the General too much.
But that commotion just now made him immediately realize it was because Ying Da was holding her too tightly.
"Ying Da, let go first, Fa Nan can't catch her breath." Seeing this, Mi Nu immediately reached out and pulled the two apart.
"Hey, I just got too excited."
Ying Da rubbed Fa Nan's little face that had been squeezed red, then looked toward Xiao who had been silent on the side.
But this one look made her freeze.
"Xiao, you... you're crying..."
Xiao blinked, raised a hand to wipe his face, saw the tear drops on his fingers, and said nothing.
Xue Yue, Li Shui, and Madame Ping at the side, seeing this scene, all silently sighed in their hearts.
After Shen Wu's death, Xiao had always lived in self-blame; even though the Monarch personally counseled him, he still could never get past that hurdle in his heart.
"Xiao, back then you were pulled into the Abyss Rift to save your teammates...."
Mi Nu spoke up trying to comfort Xiao, but the words were only half out when a gust of wind suddenly blew in, bringing with it an incomparably familiar aura.
After Xianyun landed with Rosalind, Lumine, and the flying object, she directly cut to the chase and asked him:
"Xiao, when you first joined the Shen Wu Corps, what were the words Xuan Ge made you say?"
"Never abandon, never give up."
"Raise your head, look at Xuan Ge and say it." Seeing Xiao never dared meet her eyes, Xianyun directly raised her hand and pointed at Xuan Ge on the ice surface.
Xiao looked toward the direction where the Shen Wu General was; he opened his mouth, but ultimately still couldn't say it.
He is a sinner; he was the first person the Shen Wu General absorbed Abyssal Power from.
It was him who let the General start this; this is the fundamental reason that led to Shen Wu's madness.
"Xiao, next match you're up."
Seeing Xiao still couldn't muster his spirit, Xianyun began to encourage him.
"Saying it face to face reaches the heart more than shouting across a distance."
"Great General Jin Peng, since you can't open your mouth, then use actions to say those words."
Rosalind glanced at Xiao; she recognized this taciturn immortal.
Back then Xianyun, because she couldn't win against herself, sought out the Five Yakshas, wanting them to help strategize.
Although she herself passed five gates and slew six generals along the way, at that time she really almost lost to Xiao.
Because this kid really treated her as an enemy; he really took out that green long spear.
So this person Xiao is just too honest; some things, if not said clearly face to face with the person involved, he will never get past that hurdle.
Finished speaking, she, like Xianyun, watched the scene of Xuan Ge beating up Da Da Li Ya.
Mi Nu saw Xiao's expression gradually turn serious, so he laughed and patted his shoulder.
"That opponent definitely can't let the General enjoy himself; when your turn comes, you might even earn a meal of tofu made by the General's own hands."
"Don't... don't mess around..." Xiao froze for a moment, then his face flushed slightly red, and he dodged a bit embarrassedly.
Ying Da simply went up and put an arm around Xiao's shoulder, smiling: "Hahaha, exactly. If you can win, remember to conveniently help me tie the General up and bring him back."
"Hm?" Xianyun and Rosalind, hearing this, both turned their heads to look toward Ying Da.
"Uh..." Ying Da immediately hid behind Mi Nu, and continued cheering Xiao on: "Big Brother Fu She will definitely agree with my idea!"
"Ying Da... is right." Fa Nan also softly encouraged.
"Heh." Rosalind glanced at those two's scale, then compared with Lumine's, and the corner of her mouth hooked up slightly.
Lumine switched to battle face in one second: "Rosalind, what are you looking at?"
"Mm~ nothing." Rosalind smiled and didn't explain.
On the ice surface, seeing Xuan Ge didn't seem to intend to make the first move, Da Da Li Ya wasn't polite either; Water Element instantly condensed into arrows, nocked and drew the bow.
Three arrows whistled toward the target, and he himself followed close behind, water spear thrusting straight at Xuan Ge's face.
"A bit slow." Xuan Ge swung Ya Jiao, a purely numerical downward cleave; those arrows couldn't even touch the target before being completely shattered.
Da Da Li Ya watched with wide eyes as that blue-gold long spear was swung bent toward him; his pupils violently contracted!
Barely dodging by turning sideways, Da Da Li Ya this time no longer dared rashly advance.
Just now if he had taken that hit, even the Mo Wang Zhuang probably couldn't have saved him; he would have been cut in two on the spot.
On the high mountain behind Liyue Harbor, the Ice God saw Xuan Ge release a whole sea and then instantly pull back; only then did her suspended heart finally settle down.
This ice surface was created by her own hands; she could clearly feel the pressure transmitted from the ice.
That seemingly ordinary strike, though it caused no damage and no great destruction.
But she knew, that force could no longer be measured in tonnage at all.
If he wanted to, Xuan Ge's spear just now could easily cut all of Teyvat in half.
"My Di Tian, didn't he say it was only a sparring match?"
Venti murmured; he completely didn't expect Xuan Ge's strike just now would be that ruthless.
The wind told itself that just now the airflow in that area had been utterly annihilated by that imposing might.
Zhongli did not speak; the instant Xuan Ge made his move he had already understood.
This is entirely looking for mechanics within pure numbers; a single glance fundamentally cannot see the end.
Because Ya Jiao is grasped in Xuan Ge's hand, it fundamentally should not be called spear technique; it should be called force technique.
Gaze returning to the battlefield, Xuan Ge also knew that continuing like this would not do.
Although the Sea he released was even more than that time he beat Sunday, Da Da Li Ya is ultimately not a half-step Peak Perfection Star God.
Since not even a shred of power can be used, then might as well seal it away completely.
Xuan Ge pressed his power down ruthlessly, facing Da Da Li Ya in a state that barely still counted as human.
"Pressure... lowered..." Da Da Li Ya could clearly feel Xuan Ge's imposing might weakening.
But it only weakened by that tiny bit.
In his eyes, this level of oppressive pressure, probably only Her Majesty the Empress or Master could withstand.
Da Da Li Ya did not hesitate in the slightest; he split the water spear into two daggers, then suddenly charged over.
"The Shen Wu Corps are soldiers, and what soldiers do is kill the target, so the Shen Wu Corps have no spear techniques, only killing moves."
Xuan Ge found an excuse for his pure numbers, because he was about to start operating.
He watched Da Da Li Ya charge at him, raised his hand and delivered a sweeping strike of Heng Zhan Qian Jun, grand and sweeping.
"Stop playing with your broken short weapons; even if you are a sword cultivator, running into a spear cultivator, if you don't run, I'll respect you as a real man."
Xuan Ge gave a reminder, and simultaneously flung Da Da Li Ya flying, the whole person smashed into the sea.
"Mo Wang Zhuang!"
The ice surface began to ripple with purple lightning; countless electric arcs suddenly exploded from the ice hole.
Da Da Li Ya activated the third phase; he used a lightning spear longer than Ya Jiao to gather power at the bottom of the sea, then suddenly sprinted.
"Still pretty handsome."
Xuan Ge held Ya Jiao horizontally, using the spear shaft to precisely block Da Da Li Ya's charged strike.
"You're strong; perhaps I can introduce my Master to you."
Da Da Li Ya gritted his teeth and spoke; he exerted all his strength to output power, but Xuan Ge's footsteps did not move a single shred.
"Your Master is strong?"
"Same as you." Da Da Li Ya spoke, directly mobilizing power to condense a sky-swallowing whale that smashed toward Xuan Ge.
"Unexpectedly... same as me..."
Xuan Ge narrowed his eyes slightly, sidestepped to unload the force making Da Da Li Ya instantly lose balance, then followed the momentum to place his hand on the back of his head and gave a light push.
Da Da Li Ya couldn't recover in time; even with Mo Wang Zhuang protecting his body he could not unload this borrowed force.
Then he smashed himself back into the sea.
Xuan Ge watched that sky-swallowing whale smash toward him; he steadily gripped the spear butt, preparing to use just a shred of a shred of a shred of force to demonstrate that one move Master Mao especially wanted to see.
"Tian Shi!"
A Qi blade flashed across the sky-swallowing whale's body; the entire Liyue Harbor at this moment completely lost the flow of wind.
The next second, that sky-swallowing whale instantly split in two, and the sea wind blew toward Liyue Harbor more fiercely than before.
"Shen Wei! Shen Wei!"
"It's General Shen Wei!"
The Liyue people seeing this move directly boiled over; they screamed wildly along the Liyue coast.
At this time, Da Da Li Ya swam up from the sea; Xuan Ge reached out and pulled him up, letting him step on the ice surface again.
"Sorry, couldn't let you enjoy yourself to the fullest..."
"No matter; in the era I was in, experts were like clouds."
Xuan Ge patted his shoulder, then looked toward that green-and-white figure at the harbor.
Xianyun seeing Xuan Ge look this way, turned her head and said to him: "Xiao, it's your turn."
