Chapter 244 Goodbye, Chief Executive
The young master looked at Xu Ning's Dust Concealment Gourd with a helpless expression.
"So sometimes I really envy the resources of Liyue. These kinds of magical treasures are incredibly convenient for transporting troops and supplies, but unfortunately they've all been used by immortals for seclusion."
"If you're hiding a massive army inside, just show it all. That way I can decide whether to run away or surrender."
A flash of white light appeared beside Xu Ning.
Belial, dressed in long robes and carrying a sword case on his back, appeared beside Xu Ning.
Under Ningguang and Baishi's care, Belial has fully adapted to Liyue's clothing, but perhaps because he is used to the snowy mountain environment, he still prefers white clothes.
However, the white robes in the Liyue style, which complemented her white hair and flawless face, made her appear even more ethereal, almost more like a celestial being than the immortals of Liyue.
The young master watched as Belial's brows gradually furrowed.
This woman was virtually unknown in the Fools' intelligence network.
It is said that Xu Ning suddenly appeared in Liyue Harbor one day after returning to Liyue, but there is no information to confirm where she came from.
However, seeing that Xu Ning deliberately cooperated with him to get rid of Kong before calling her out to deal with him, perhaps she really does have some extraordinary qualities.
Xu Ning drew the Blade of Chopping Peak from the gourd.
“I don’t care if you Fatui cause trouble outside, but this time you’ve gone too far and dared to cause trouble in Liyue.”
“If I don’t cut off a few of your fingers from winter, you won’t learn your lesson.”
The young master said with dissatisfaction, "Hey, you need to provide evidence before you speak! I'm happy to fight if you want, but I won't accept being accused. Besides, your Emperor isn't dead, is he? Fine, since you've driven that traveler away, you can now unleash your full power."
The young master casually drove the lightning spear into the ground, and with a clink of his fists, the elements of lightning and water beneath his feet began to entwine and climb onto his body.
A suit of armor and cloak, constructed purely from elements, quickly appeared on his body.
"Extreme Evil Law - Devouring Annihilation!"
Belial tilted his head slightly beside Xu Ning, and asked in confusion, "This kind of power..."
Xu Ning laughed and said, "It's only very similar, but not quite! I'm going to go for it."
A gust of wind rose around Xu Ning, and just like the movement technique Kong had used earlier, he closed in on the young master in an instant. The blade in his hand cleaved down, ruthless and leaving no room for retreat.
With a wave of his hand, the young master sent the lightning spear flying back into his hand, parrying Xu Ning's attack while simultaneously unleashing a "lightning counterattack".
It was as if Xu Ning's longsword had cleaved through the Thunder Prison, and countless bolts of lightning suddenly exploded in the direction of Xu Ning's attack, leaving him no way to dodge.
Xu Ning couldn't dodge it, nor did he even intend to.
A dragon scale-shaped shield suddenly appeared in front of him, and at the same time, the Peak-Slaying Blade in his hand flashed with golden light. The shield's strength increased sharply, and it withstood the lightning counterattack without any damage.
Xu Ning was well aware of his weaknesses.
My martial arts skills are mostly close-range combat techniques. It looks exciting to fight at close range with high agility and high evasion, but this is only when fighting ordinary monsters.
If he were to face an elite-level expert, he would probably have no skills other than using the element of alcohol in conjunction with various elemental forces to clash with each other.
His own low resistance makes the pure spell playstyle extremely useless. He can barely make two moves before the opponent's AOE spells kill him instantly.
You might hurt yourself even without the other party making a move.
However, it was only after acquiring the Heart of the Geo Archon that Xu Ning was truly able to develop his own unique strategy.
No matter who it is, it's all about getting close and dealing damage, just like how we're dealing with the young master now.
Since he had the talent for dodging, he could easily dodge his lightning spear thrust.
Whether it was the water bullets or the lightning spears he unleashed, he simply relied on the powerful shield enhanced by the "Golden Imperial Supreme" effect of his Blade of the Peak to withstand them.
As for himself, he intended to use the wind to carry the wine, focusing on creating the impression of being "drunk".
However, the young master's training in martial arts was no less than Xu Ning's, and he could use various moves with ease. He was even able to defend against Xu Ning's complicated and strange attack methods.
"As long as one shot hits..."
Xu Ning's attacks became faster and faster, and the wine swirling around him continuously transformed into bursts of flames under the young master's lightning.
Meanwhile, Belial, who was standing to the side, had already taken the sword case off his back and was standing beside him with one hand on it.
Unlike Beidou, Belial had no understanding of Xu Ning's fighting style. If he rashly joined the battle, he would not only put pressure on the young master, but might even hinder Xu Ning's fight.
However, Xu Ning had said before the battle that he would create an opportunity for her to make a move, and she was waiting for that moment.
Then, a single, fatal blow!
Xu Ning was perhaps too eager to unleash a high frequency of attacks, and seemed to have gradually neglected his own defense.
After the young master unleashed a triple lightning slash, he suddenly felt the golden shield on Xu Ning's left side flicker.
In the rapid-fire battle, the young master had almost no time to think. With a slight gathering of strength, he launched a thrust, aiming straight for Xu Ning's ribs.
The golden shield shattered at the sight of the spear.
However, Xu Ning then did something that the young master never expected.
He suddenly threw out his wine gourd and used a red rope to bind the young master's right arm and the thunder spear together.
The young master knew he had fallen into a trap. His thunder spear roared, and countless bolts of lightning burst forth.
Even though Xu Ning reacted quickly, half of his body was still numb from the lightning.
However, the red rope was completely unexpected by the young master. Countless flashes of lightning and fire could not harm it in the slightest, and it held him firmly in place.
Belial, who was standing to the side, didn't need Xu Ning's prompting. The sword box popped open, and an ominous sword emitting a purplish-black mist was immediately grasped in her hand.
With a single kick, the blue bricks shattered, and Belial shot straight at the prince's back like a deadly arrow.
As the young master glanced back, he saw Belial, dressed in white, looking like an immortal descending to earth.
However, the purple sword in her hand seemed to be the most insidious curse in the world, exuding an extremely evil aura yet feeling extremely familiar to her.
"How dare you use such forbidden power?"
Even the mysterious master underground said that this power must never be revealed on the surface.
Therefore, she only passed on her martial arts skills, and that power only allowed her to have a superficial understanding of it.
Xu Ning sneered, "That's why it's not suitable for children. Goodbye, Executor!"
