Chapter 1266

~7 min read 1,370 words

In order to cope with the crises that might arrive in the future, Jean also wanted to become stronger.

Therefore, she naturally did not want to miss this opportunity to learn Jingliu's swordsmanship.

"As expected, Jingliu's swordsmanship is extremely exquisite."

After fixing her gaze on the forum screen, Jean let out another sigh of admiration.

………………

【Clorinde: As expected, I still can't see the speed at which Jingliu swings her sword.】

【Beidou: Indeed. It feels like Jingliu didn't even move; Yingxing just got close to her, and his body split apart directly.】

【Xingqiu: Even while forcing myself to watch this projection despite the discomfort, it seems there is no way to steal even a fraction of Jingliu's swordsmanship.

To achieve that, I'm afraid one would have to be someone from Teyvat who has already walked upon a Path.】

【Dottore: Only focusing on the swordsmanship and not on Yingxing's regenerative ability... as expected, I still cannot understand the minds of martial arts fanatics.】

【Tartaglia: Hey, that's no fun, Dottore.】

【Dehya: We return that sentiment to you; we find your mind even harder to understand, Dottore.】

【Dottore: Hehe, it doesn't matter. What a beautiful scene. Even after being shattered into chunks of meat, these pieces are still wriggling. The current Yingxing, as expected, will not die so easily.】

【Dottore: Then, what exactly is the principle behind his inability to die?】

Just as Dottore said.

Yingxing, having been slashed into fragments, only took a very short time to automatically restore himself, and then, fearless of death, he launched another attack at Jingliu.

No, rather than saying Yingxing was fearless of death, it would be more accurate to say that the current Yingxing did not even know what death was.

Facing the incoming Yingxing, Jingliu calmly raised her sword.

Then she swung again, once, and then once more.

Yingxing's body shattered and reformed continuously in time with Jingliu's sword dance.

In an instant, the entire cell was stained with blood.

Such a scene was unbearable even for some onlookers who had seen battlefields, let alone those who had never been on one.

For a time, a considerable number of people from Teyvat chose to close their eyes, temporarily refusing to look at the learning footage.

It is unknown how much time passed before Jingliu's voice was heard once again on the screen, which had previously only contained the sounds of sword swings and objects being continuously severed.

At this moment, the crowd of onlookers who had closed their eyes finally dared to open them and look at the screen again.

And what greeted their eyes was Jingliu, who had temporarily stopped swinging her sword, Yingxing, who was looking at her with those scarlet eyes, and the cell that had been almost entirely dyed red.

"Have you remembered?"

Jingliu parted her lips slightly, her voice icy cold.

【Dehya: Jingliu finally spoke again! I thought she had completely lost her sanity and turned into a swordswoman who only knew how to kill.】

【Candace: If that were truly the case, Jingliu would be like others who have fallen to Mara-Struck, with orange-yellow withered branches entwined around her body.】

【Alhaitham: Jingliu's current state should be that of one foot buried in the gates of Mara-Struck. As for her sanity, it should be alternating between clarity and chaos.】

【Dehya: So that's how it is. By the way, listening to her previous words to Yingxing, "Have you remembered?" Could it be that Jingliu is currently teaching Yingxing swordsmanship?】

【Dori: That is clearly the case. Of course, one cannot rule out that at the beginning, Jingliu simply wanted to execute Yingxing.

After all, Jingliu can even swing her sword at innocent Cloud Knights now, let alone Yingxing, who desecrated Baiheng.】

【Kaeya: That possibility certainly exists. The reason she would want to teach Yingxing swordsmanship might be because she has recovered a little bit of her sanity.】

【Navia: That may be true, but Yingxing is clearly still in a state of chaos right now. Can he even understand Jingliu's words?】

【Navia: And ultimately, why would Jingliu even have the idea to teach Yingxing swordsmanship? She should have no reason to do so.】

【Dainsleif: Could it be that in Jingliu's eyes, Yingxing is still a person of use?】

【Kaeya: A person of use? That's right. Given Jingliu's current attitude toward Yingxing, if Yingxing didn't still possess some kind of utility, Jingliu probably wouldn't choose to kill him over and over again to teach him swordsmanship through this method.】

【Kaeya: Even if Yingxing is an existence that cannot be killed, Jingliu could have completely used another method to punish him.】

【Alice: Whatever the case, just let these bloody scenes end quickly. These images are even more cruel than the previous footage of the Abyssal Dragon killing the Cloud Knights.】

【Rhinedottir: Since when did you become so timid, Alice?】

【Alice: What do you know? I just don't want my daughter to see these images. It's fortunate that Acting Grand Master Jean is with Klee, otherwise, it would be too terrible.】

【Lisa: Rest assured, Ms. Alice, I am also by Klee's side now.】

【Alice: That's good, that's good.】

【Beidou: Although the footage is somewhat cruel, if one considers it from the perspective of learning swordsmanship, it is not without value to watch.】

"Aaaaaah!"

Yingxing raised his head, his eyes looking fiercely at Jingliu.

Regarding what Jingliu said, his only reaction was a slight sense of bewilderment.

"It seems it is still not enough."

Jingliu whispered, and in an instant, she arrived in front of Yingxing.

In a flash, the beast-like sounds from Yingxing's mouth came to an abrupt halt.

He looked down and discovered that Jingliu's sword had already pierced through his throat.

Afterward, the world in Yingxing's eyes began to invert.

He saw a headless body kneeling on the ground, being cut apart by the white-haired swordswoman.

Subsequently, he closed his eyes, and the world plunged into darkness once more.

His heart, however, returned to peace.

But this darkness and peace came and went quickly.

In an instant, Yingxing opened his eyes again. Facing him was still the swordswoman and the longsword in her hand.

And then, the world returned to darkness and peace once again.

………………

"So, this is how Blade's swordsmanship was learned."

"No wonder there are shadows of Jingliu's swordsmanship in his current style."

Inside the train, Jing Yuan watched Jingliu and Yingxing in the memory projection and said with emotion.

"Yingxing, after all, was not skilled in swordsmanship."

"Perhaps only through this method could he master high-level swordsmanship faster and better."

Luo Feng said.

"That may be so, but this obviously requires a period of time."

"Given Yingxing's current condition in the memory projection, he will probably have to die many more times."

Jing Yuan analyzed.

Seeing this, he roughly understood why Yingxing had been able to recover a little bit of his sanity back then.

Yingxing, having just received the blessing of the Abundance Emanator, was clearly insane and devoid of sanity.

But after being killed by Jingliu for a period of time, the madness in Yingxing had already diminished significantly.

Although he still couldn't recognize Jingliu, he was clearly able to express human emotions like bewilderment.

Jing Yuan felt that perhaps if Yingxing were killed by Jingliu a few more times, he would be able to regain basic sanity.

"Ugh!"

Inside the train, Qingni suddenly covered her mouth and leaned against the wall, dry-heaving.

Luo Feng glanced at her and raised his hand to pat her back.

"If you can't accept it, then stop watching for now, Qingni."

Luo Feng said.

"I... I'm fine."

"I'm just a little unaccustomed to it."

Qingni shook her head, took a deep breath, and said.

"That's good. If you were to suffer some kind of trauma..."

"I wouldn't know how to answer to Lady Yukong later."

Luo Feng nodded and continued:

"Come to think of it, I heard you intend to become a skiff pilot like Baiheng."

"If you can't adapt to the scenes before you, becoming someone like Baiheng is a very dangerous prospect."

Hearing this, Qingni fell into silence.

That's right, she hoped that one day she could also pilot a skiff and step onto the battlefield. ===== CHAPTER 1267 =====
