Chapter 909 I Can't Let You Go
Although almost all the attacks were directed at Asmodie, the ruler of the sky, the Thousand Rock Army did not allow the sky to break through the door that no one knew what was behind it.
Kong's lightning-fast movement technique had barely begun, and he hadn't even escaped the range of the Jade Pavilion, when he was stopped.
...it was blocked by another bolt of lightning.
"Your Excellency, please rest a little longer in the Qunyu Pavilion and wait for Lord Xu Ning to return before we can discuss this further."
The words were spoken with composure, but the voice still carried a hint of a young girl's naiveté.
Kong recognized the purple figure.
Keqing, the Star of Yuheng in Liyue, is an exceptional character with a completely different temperament from the other members of the Liyue Seven Stars.
It is said that she was once taught by Xu Ning in the Thousand Rock Army, but she seems to have some discord with Ningguang, and few people see her at Yujingtai.
However, Kong had met her once before.
While traveling in Liyue, even though Brother Xu paid for all the food, drinks, lodging and transportation, I still took on quite a few requests for the sake of the big eater by my side.
While delivering a few letters home to the mine, he happened to run into Lord Yuheng, whose face was smudged black from being rubbed, helping a few elderly miners push a cart.
Out of curiosity, I waited nearby for half a day and discovered that this Lord Tianheng not only went down into the mine with the workers, but also ate the same lunch as everyone else.
At the time, I thought this person was just here to experience life, or perhaps to put on a show... But in just two days, Lord Yuheng put forward a series of initiatives that would benefit the miners, such as repairing the track facilities, adding safety posts, and improving the food, and all of these were implemented.
The only thing that was decided upon without clear origin was the suggestion that "everyone should work an extra hour every day," which was met with unanimous protest and was shelved.
Sora knew only this much about Keqing, and naturally had never experienced her swordsmanship.
But from the moment he launched himself, Keqing was able to arrive first and stop him instantly.
This at least proves that she might be even stronger than him in terms of lightning attribute cultivation. Moreover, her swordsmanship is simple and orthodox, combining offense and defense. But that's not all; what's even more bizarre is the copper hairpin in her hand.
It seemed that the copper hairpin could actually work with her lightning magic, allowing her to appear anywhere—a use that neither she nor Paimon... nor that person had anticipated when they were researching lightning magic.
If I were to use only lightning element, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to break through her sword net at all... Fortunately, I know quite a few...
With a sudden shift in his sword stance, a line of fire rapidly spread from his hand to the blade, instantly engulfing the entire sword in flames. It was as if a sharp torch had suddenly appeared in Kong's hand.
The fire element obtained from Nata is the most violent and powerful elemental force in existence. Almost the instant it clashed with Keqing's longsword, the explosion caused by the lightning and fire pushed the two of them far away.
This attack was a calculated move by Kong, who was much better prepared than Keqing. Kong only took two steps back before adjusting his stance and charging forward again.
The sound of the tide suddenly rose!
As if defying the laws of physics, Kong's forward-rushing figure suddenly swerved to the side and back like a sailboat caught in a strong wind, narrowly dodging a sword that was slashing back from his ribs.
"Wow, you can dodge such a move. No wonder Brother Xu said you are amazing. Kong, I'm sorry, I can't let you pass."
While still hanging upside down in the air, Xingqiu chuckled and flipped himself to the ground.
This move evolved from the posture of Chongyun's hook sword hanging upside down to wash a gourd. It uses the ancient Hua sword technique upside down, which is like digging a pit in front of the enemy. You can see it but you can't dodge it. I didn't expect it to fail here.
"Should you change your tactics? It's no use. We anticipated what elemental power you would use to counter us. You'll definitely switch to grass element next, right? Xiangling! Xiangling?"
Xingqiu's smug smile froze after only a second. The traveler's left hand did indeed emit a grass-green elemental light for a moment, but where was Xiangling, who should have been following closely behind him?
Xiangling, who was chatting with her girlfriends about sunflower seeds in a corner, stood up carelessly, waved, and shouted, "Guoba, breathe fire!"
Xingqiu felt a cold sweat suddenly break out on his back, which was then quickly forced back into his body by the heat. He didn't even have time to scold Xiangling before he scrambled away from the spot in front of him.
A massive amount of flames, fan-shaped, instantly filled the sky.
