After the Preceptors' conspiracy was exposed.
Next.
Yukong's voice rang out.
"Feixiao, there are wolf-like creatures moving at high speed in the alleys of the Starskiff Sea!"
The scene shifted to the Starskiff Sea.
The usually bustling Starskiff Sea was now in complete disarray!
Borisin were running through the streets.
Yukong had already drawn her bowstring to its fullest.
The Cloud Knights were lined up beside her.
Ready to withstand the Borisin's charge!
...
"Luofu: It's over! They're coming for me again!"
"What's going on, have the Borisin taken over Luofu?"
"Wow, they're not even hiding anymore, are they that confident?"
"Is this version going to start a direct frontal war?"
"Are we going to see the Sky-Striking General in action?"
"Ahhh, I can't take it anymore, I want to go to the front lines!"
"Retired veteran, requesting to join the battle!"
"Glamoth Cavalry, requesting to join the battle!"
...
Before the players could finish their barrage of comments.
Feixiao's response came through!
"Hold on."
"I'll be there soon!"
Feixiao stood atop a Starskiff.
Upon arriving at the scene.
Her entire body transformed into a streak of light.
Flashing past the streets in an instant!
When she reappeared.
The Borisin behind her had all been frozen in place.
A flash of her blade.
Instant death!
"I Venture Forth to Hunt!"
With another swift step forward!
Her blade rose and fell!
"The duty of the heavens' strike, relentless until death!"
From the Starskiff Jetty to Starwatcher Avenue, she didn't even blink!
Her attacks were ever-changing.
One moment she wielded twin blades.
The next, she used them as a gun.
Then, a heavy axe splitting the earth!
Wherever she passed.
The Borisin were all harvested!
"Victory is assured!"
...
"Amazing! The epitome of a woman!"
"She still loves a grand victory so much!"
"A powerful piece of music begins to play!"
"Victory! Victory! Keep the victories coming!!"
"With this BGM, I feel like Feixiao could take on ten Hoolays alone!"
"Battle! So satisfying!!!"
"The most secure episode yet!"
"Wait, is Feixiao joining the gacha pool next version?"
...
However.
What had just happened seemed to be merely the appetizer!
Feixiao leaped into the air!
Soaring high into the sky!
In her hand, she held a longbow.
Light arrows gathered!
The sky was covered by intense air currents!
The air trembled!
"Are you ready to die, you abomination?"
Her gaze was sharp, unstoppable!
At that moment.
A burst of maniacal laughter rang out!
Hoolay had arrived!
At the highly anticipated Martial Arts Ceremony.
Hoolay had appeared here alone!
"The Martial Arts Ceremony ends here!"
And before him.
Yanqing and Yunli set aside their differences.
Standing side by side!
Their swords pointed directly at Hoolay!
...
"Prisoner Hoolay makes his entrance!"
"Salute to the legendary punching bag, Hoolay!"
"I've developed a condition where I can't help but laugh whenever I see Hoolay!"
"When will I ever stop laughing at the sight of Hoolay?"
"It's all you guys' fault for turning such a powerful Borisin war chief into a comedic character..."
"Kids, this isn't funny!"
"Jokes aside, if Hoolay really appears at the Martial Arts Ceremony, there will surely be casualties. The Shackling Prison must tighten security!"
"Indeed, it's fine for Hoolay to be active in Honkai: Star Rail, but let's not let him actually escape from prison."
"My Starskiff from last year's installment plan is still docked at the Starskiff Sea (sad..."
...
And then.
Hoolay displayed something bizarre!
He swung his wolf claws.
Reaching toward his own chest.
Doing something unknown.
In an instant.
A blood-red light radiated from him!
Enveloped by this light.
It gave an indescribable sense of oppression!
Even Mokze in the video showed a look of surprise!
Immediately after.
Feixiao seemed to suddenly unleash some kind of power!
Her entire body hovered in the air.
Dazzling light and air currents converged upon her!
Behind her.
A massive beast-like creature appeared!
Resembling a fox.
With a pair of wings.
Its fur as white as snow.
Letting out a roar!
As if it could shake the heavens and earth!
...
"Holy crap! Is that...?!"
"The legendary 'Fa Tian Xiang Di'!"
"I read a novel once, this is called the 'Martial Spirit True Form'!"
"Stop making stuff up! This is the divine beast bestowed by the Emperor's Bow—Feihuang!"
"[The divine beast Feihuang, among the seven manifestations of the Emperor's Bow, it is the swiftest.]"
"Feixiao's divine beast!"
"It's actually beast-shaped? That's way too badass!"
...
However.
Before it could even look cool for a second.
In the background.
Suddenly, a voice rang out!
It made the hearts of all the watching players skip a beat!
"General Tianji, you have betrayed the alliance's trust!"
At the same time.
Feixiao turned her head.
Her pupils were actually tinged with a layer of blood-red!
"We are all monsters born for battle, and destined to die in battle."
Hoolay's voice sounded.
It was seen that Hoolay and Feixiao were in the same eerie environment.
No one knew exactly what had happened!
The two seemed to have reached some kind of standoff...
...
"Pay attention! Feixiao's eyes have turned red!"
"Lunar Frenzy! Activate!!"
"Surely we don't need to use Weiling Feihuang just to deal with Hoolay, right? Could it be that Feixiao has already lost control?"
"In that last shot, it seemed like March 7th, Yunli, and Yanqing were facing Feixiao!"
"Holy crap, could Feixiao actually be the real boss!?"
"Don't do it!"
"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
"Isn't anyone going to help? We can't let the general fall into Lunar Frenzy so soon!"
"Oh my god! Imagine if Jing Yuan's Mara state were to activate, and he became our enemy..."
"This is bad, really bad! Brothers! The situation we least wanted to see has happened!"
...
Next.
It was Feixiao's turn to strike!
It seemed like she and Hoolay were about to engage in a decisive battle!
"May the arrows of The Hunt pierce the heart of the monster!"
The final scene.
Frozen in the image of Feixiao pointing her giant axe at Hoolay!
However.
Though the scene was brief!
Many players still analyzed it frame by frame!
Extracting several quick flashes from the final segment!
One of the frames.
Showed Jingliu wielding moonlight, slashing with her sword!
She had removed her eyepatch.
Her eyes crimson red.
Devoid of any trace of mercy.
This frame.
Was quickly captured by players and posted in the comments section.
"[Image] Hoolay, don't be scared, look who's here?"
"[Image] Great! It's Jingliu, Hoolay is done for, we're saved!"
"Ancestor!! I knew you'd come back!!!"
"Jingliu (crawling in the sunlight) (screaming)"
"Illuminating the myriad rivers!!! (shouting)"
"Hoolay: It's over!"
"Hoolay, terror of Xianzhou, speedrun in one life!"
"Bullying Hoolay again, aren't you afraid of the Borisin's revenge?."
...
Scrolling through the comments!
You wouldn't know unless you looked.
Turns out there were such hidden details in that final segment!
Guinaifen's face lit up with excitement!
"I can't stay in this 2.4 version for even a second longer!"
"I want to see what happens next!"
"I want Shangshang to knock me out with a stick and wake me up only when 2.5 is updated!"
Players in the livestream urged Little Gui to share her address.
They could take care of it for her.
Just as Guinaifen was interacting with the chat.
Yu Ling's account updated with a new post!
This time, it was a text announcement.
["Honkai: Star Rail" Version 2.5 "Flying Aureus Shot to Lupine Rue" will be updated tomorrow at 11 AM]
[Please prepare, Trailblazers~].
