Chapter 56 Confrontation.

Even though there was a dozen seconds left for the conversation, the sound waves of Osel's anger after being provoked had already been blowing the waves towards the shore without stopping.

Even some of the tiny demons on the sea surface were swept up by the waves and turned upside down again under the sea, crashing into the stone woodcutters on the seabed.

A blue breeze rose from under Wendy's feet, and the wind blew around his body, transforming into light feathers. He placed the flute gently to his lips, closed his eyes, and played softly, letting the clear and pleasant sound echo from the flute and then float towards the depressing sky.

The wind at high altitudes was originally stronger, and the green melody of the seaside was slowly approaching. I stood at the center of the edge of the platform, letting the wind blow my snow-white hair, facing the huge creature in the distance.

He said nothing, his misty eyes carried the calmness of someone who had been in the situation himself, and the emptiness and loneliness that slowly permeated through.

He just slowly raised his hands, letting the raindrops hit the back of his hands, and quietly blew the bamboo flute in his hands.

No one could think whether the faint loneliness was a deliberate performance or a true expression of emotion, but the ending was somewhat beyond the expectations of most of the audience——

Accompanied by a prelude that floated from nowhere, in stark contrast to the otherworldly and lonely atmosphere created by his appearance, the sudden rise of the flute was filled with stunning and exciting emotions that resounded through the sky.

After all, this ensemble has happened more than once. The sound of the ancient flute accompanied by the sound of the wind rushed into the distorted space above the sea with an offensive force that penetrated everything and struck the soul.

It is like a monk swordsman holding a sword hilt standing on the top of Mount Hua shrouded in rain and mist. The ancient sword is unsheathed, and with one sword he can cut the mountain, stop the rain, and break all laws.

The corners of Wendy's mouth slowly curled up while he was playing. Behind him, Ge Chenlangshi was slightly stunned. His heart, which had been silent for a long time, began to beat rapidly again. A figure seemed to flash vaguely in his mind.

She closed her eyes and stroked the grain of the paulownia wood of the guqin in her arms with her fingertips. With the imperceptible magic of the gods, her originally dry and wrinkled skin miraculously regained its vitality and became smooth and delicate.

Ge Chenlangshi lifted up her skirt, found a low stone to sit down, placed the zither on her knees, and smiled slowly, her eyes filled with longing.

In an instant, a firm and murderous piano sound was inserted, and together with the sound of the flute, it once again deepened the aggressiveness and energy of the music.

The melody woven by the three people collided, echoed, and expanded in the formation of heavy rain, and finally echoed throughout the entire Guyun Pavilion.

Accompanied by a sudden and powerful sight, this ensemble tore through the distorted space, calming the originally roaring sea water and the sound waves attacking Liyue Port.

The echo continued, and countless sea beasts stopped for a moment in the sea because of this tremendous energy. Osel's roar was interrupted. It didn't know what kind of breath it sensed, but it suddenly got stuck in place like a machine, hesitating.

Sora, who was startled by the flute music, stopped where he was, dragging the body of the Fool he had just dealt with. He looked up at the white color, and for some reason he was reminded of the same shocking impact he had accidentally encountered in Cecilia's flowers on the top of a distant snow-capped mountain.

The three immortals, who had been accumulating energy on the return machine without slacking off, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Even the sudden sound of the flute was like the drumbeat before a battle, stimulating them to release their own immortal power to a deeper level, and finally gathered together in the center of the machine.

Liu Yunjiefeng said in a stern tone: "Get ready, attack now!"

Another powerful energy beam rushed towards the demon god who was frozen in the sea. The sound of the explosion echoed on the smooth blue snake in the distance, and the heart-wrenching wail echoed more vividly on the entire sea surface.

Many timid and fragile demons even completely dived into the deep sea, no longer wanting to make their presence felt and get involved in this terrifying confrontation.

This merciless blow and the surging pain completely aroused Osser's resistance. Before Ningguang and the others could show any joy, the five snake heads intertwined and entangled, and the clouds in the sky began to rotate, gathering into a vortex with it as the center. A huge energy ball began to condense and erupted in the direction of the Qun Yu Pavilion.

From the moment the demon god accumulated energy, all the immortals responded extremely quickly, trying to use the Return to the End machine to condense their strength again. However, the opponent's speed far exceeded their imagination. It was as if he had really raised his momentum and used up all his strength. The water ball had already rushed towards the direction of the three Return to the End machines in front of the Qun Yu Pavilion.

The power was getting closer and closer, filled with a sense of destructive oppression. Keqing's pupils began to tremble and her mind went blank.

Yiran frowned, turned around and grabbed the wrists of Kong and Keqing who were standing nearby, and with the white robe dancing, he took two steps back to the Qun Yu Pavilion.

The three immortals reacted very quickly. They decisively abandoned their only counterattack weapon and flew away from the spot with the Qianyan Army, which had no time to retreat.

Yiran quickly let go of the two people and turned back abruptly. The white of the antlers was stained with more blue. He flipped his palm, and a transparent water barrier instantly covered the edge of the Qun Yu Pavilion, protecting everyone inside.

Dark water balls arrived immediately, and the three return terminals exploded instantly. The Fatui's teleportation anchors were destroyed at the same time, and the platform that Ningguang maintained with the formation also collapsed and exploded into countless sharp glass fragments.

The aftermath of Osel's attack exploded immediately, but was finally completely blocked by the water shield maintained by Yiran, preventing it from hurting anyone at all.

Because the center of the energy containing the full force of the Demon God in his prime was on the platform bordering the Qun Yu Pavilion, Yiran's shield almost directly borne most of the energy of the attack.

The moment the water shield dissipated and the danger was eliminated, Yiran's arms instantly softened and traces of bright red seeped out from the corners of his mouth.

Kong's heart slightly shrank, he clenched his lower teeth tightly, this person was obviously a different person, but an inexplicable sense of déjà vu kept surging up in his mind, he felt like he was being protected again.

Ningguang panted slightly, suppressing the fear that her life was threatened. She looked at the explosion ash waves that had been washed away by the rain, the immortal who had helped them along the way, and Yiran who was still wiping the blood off his weak body. Her eyes became more and more determined:

"I...have another plan."

…

Yiran, who had already exhausted all his strength, slowly retreated to the corner of the palace. With a faint smile, he quietly watched the highlight of the plot being played out once again as if it were destined.

The void that had accumulated so many complicated emotions released its long sword into the Jade Pavilion, and a golden glow slowly appeared on everyone's body.

Like a final decisive battle that gathered all their strength, the immortals and humans poured their will to protect Liyue onto the Jade Pavilion, allowing this palace in the sky to explode towards Osel like a nuclear weapon.

The warm sunlight in the cold air squeezed through the clouds and fell on Sora who fell to the ground along with the other fairies.

The sea surface had calmed down a bit, and the huge monster was no longer visible. The remaining demons, which were not in their prime to begin with, either retreated fearfully into the depths of the seabed or were suppressed by the Lord Wind God and the three immortals next door.

It seems that everything is turning in the right direction.

Sora murmured in a daze: "Is it over?"

Paimon floated behind Sora. She had always been very active, but now she was exhausted both physically and mentally after being frightened by the countless crises that Sora had seen with his naked eyes.

But after all, the biggest BOSS was solved. She clapped her hands to liven up the atmosphere, with a bit of relief and complaint after surviving a disaster:

"It should be over now... There's no way that five-headed monster snake could have survived such a horrific explosion without any harm..."

Because there are so many delicious foods in Liyue, she always thought that the trip to Liyue would be a particularly happy journey, but she didn't expect it to be so scary.

Should we start the next stop right away?

However, their farewell ceremony has not yet been completed... and the ancestor Fafei has not yet been seen... Oh, by the way, no one knows where Zhongli, who has been with them all the time, has gone. With such a big crisis happening, he should have hidden himself well...

Paimon blinked after thinking a lot. He always felt that the atmosphere seemed a little strangely quiet, and no one even responded to his words.

She pushed Sora's shoulder:

"Hey! We are now..."

Brush——

As countless demons exploded on the sea, Osel's huge body suddenly rushed up from the bottom of the sea again.

Unlike the demon god that was several kilometers away before, it was now so close to Liyue Harbor that even the surging dark blue blood and slippery mucus on its body could be seen clearly.

It lowered its huge snake head towards the fairies and people standing on the shore, twisting and wriggling while looking at them at close range, so close that even the six tentacles on the sides of its face were dripping with liquid, so close that everyone present was almost suffocated as if there was no air at all.

In the dead silence, Paimon took a breath of cool air, her hands trembling as she clutched Sora's back. Her brain began to clog up, and she felt that in another second she would completely faint in the fear created by the huge creature.

The immortals and Kong's ability to withstand pressure is always higher than that of mortals who are unable to move at all.

Kong took a step forward with difficulty, allowing the demon's pressure, which came from nowhere, to fall on himself as much as possible, without loosening the sword in his hand for a moment.

Even though he still had no idea how to deal with it.

Even though he knew that his current strength was no match for this huge monster that had just absorbed the power of many sea demons.

The first thing that flashed through his mind at this moment was the wind god Barbatos, whom he had once had close contact with in Mondstadt. He was also a demon god, but he was just drunk and idle all day long and looked unreliable.

So, is the true power of the demons so terrifying?

Will he die here?

That's right, there was once a god with terrifying power who kidnapped his sister...

So...was he careless...

But, but he still hasn't been able to see Yan again.

He has not yet been able to find a new home with Yan...

Kong stared directly at the huge snake head, and the palm of his hand holding the hilt of the sword was so tight that it was bleeding.

until--

Until a hand wearing a sapphire bracelet gently rested on his shoulder, letting a familiar coolness gently soothe his almost disconnected spirit.

A chess piece of rock element emitting mysterious power appeared in the palm of the man beside him, floating up and down gracefully.

The man smiled gently. His pale, fragile, and ethereal face inexplicably carried a reassuring aura. He said:

"Don't be afraid. Leave it to me from now on."
