"What a shame, what a shame, it was almost there again."
Deep in Wuwang Hill, a young girl with a look of regret on her face was staggering towards them from not far away, carrying a shovel, with a little dirt on her shovel.
Walking in such a gloomy place, she didn't seem afraid at all. She was jumping as she walked, kicking the grass leaves sticking out from the roadside from time to time, or hitting the dead branches exposed on the roadside with a shovel.
When playing with a shovel, some skills are even used. The seemingly random swings actually contain some kind of routine.
She seemed out of place with everything around her, like a color mark on a black and white picture.
"Huh?"
After walking for a while, she seemed to notice something, suddenly slowed down her pace, and tiptoed towards the front.
She laid on the ground, not caring at all whether her clothes would get dirty, and moved forward little by little.
"Zhongli?"
Among the people standing in the flat area ahead was one she knew. He was one of the guests of their Wangsheng Hall, the man who seemed to know everything except Geo Emperor - Zhongli.
She didn't recognize the other person. After so many years in Liyue Harbor, this was the first time she saw such a person. He looked fair and clean, and didn't look like a bad person.
"Mr. Zhongli, can we make another contract?"
"But, it's okay."
"Can you please not tell anyone else what happened next?"
"Can."
Maybe it was because she was good at hiding, or maybe he had no time to take care of other things when facing Zhongli. In any case, the strange man in black did not seem to notice her.
Zhongli glanced at her position but did not expose her.
After receiving Zhongli's affirmative reply, the man finally felt relieved, picked up the mask hanging around his waist, and covered his face with it.
Zhongli originally thought that Bai Luo just wanted him to help hide his identity as a Fatui in Liyue. After all, he might stay in Liyue for a while.
But when Bai Luo put his hand down, both of them, including the girl next to him, showed surprised expressions on their faces.
Because the original white mask on his face turned into a strange cat-face mask, and even the black windbreaker on his body turned into the red kimono unique to Inazuma.
At that moment, he seemed like a different person, his entire aura changed.
If before it was full of death and strangeness, as if he would hide in the shadows and stab you in the back at any time, now it has turned into a sharp blade in its sheath.
Although there is no visible edge in him, one can still sense the danger he carries.
"Mr. Zhongli, I will not be polite."
Not only his momentum, but also the tone of his voice when he spoke had changed.
The sword in his hand was gradually pulled out, and Zhongli finally understood why it was a sharp blade without any edge, because the sword in his hand was actually a reverse-edged sword.
No matter when, it is irrational to point the blade at yourself, especially when using this kind of sword.
If you encounter an enemy with greater strength, using this sword will not only not hurt others, but will also hurt yourself because the blade is facing you.
It is not a weapon suitable for long battles.
After Bai Luo pulled out the reverse-blade knife, he gently stroked the blade with his left hand, feeling the coolness of the blade.
The properties of this true reverse blade sword far surpassed the one he had bound before. After making up his mind, Bai Luo turned the blade upside down and stabbed it into his body.
Zhongli: "???"
The young girl: "...a potential client, taking notes."
Reaching out his hand to stop Zhongli from coming over, Bai Luo drew his sword and showed a slightly forced smile on his face: "Mr. Zhongli, stabbing you counts as one move, but if I stab myself, it doesn't count as one of the three moves, right?"
Does it hurt? Of course it hurts. It's a white knife in and a red knife out. It would be strange if it didn't hurt. The effect of this true reverse blade knife is that ordinary attacks can't kill people, but the pain is still there.
"There is no such clause in the contract, but... never mind. I'll just do as you say."
Zhongli could see that Bai Luo must have used some special secret technique, perhaps using blood as a guide, or stabbing himself with a knife as a medium.
But looking at Bai Luo's pale face, Zhongli couldn't refuse him, so he could only sigh and agree.
"Thank you very much."
After taking a look at the skill icon of Nine-Headed Dragon Flash, which still hadn't changed, Bai Luo once again raised the reverse-blade knife in his hand, which was already stained with blood, and inserted it into his abdomen.
Once, twice, three times...
It was not until the third time that he drew out the reverse-blade sword, perhaps this time it triggered a critical hit, the originally light blue Nine-Headed Dragon Flash icon turned into a red Sky-Soaring Dragon Flash.
"Borrowing power" is something that many Kenshin players have done. After getting the True Reverse Blade, Bai Luo suddenly came up with this idea of borrowing power.
Stabbing yourself is also a normal attack, so it won't kill you. What's more, you will be protected by the power of the True Reverse Blade and won't die from excessive blood loss, organ failure, or other special circumstances.
so...
"Sir Zhongli, I am ready."
The reverse-edged sword, still stained with blood, was sheathed. After Bai Luo reminded Zhongli, he slowly lowered his body and assumed the posture of sword-drawing.
This posture is very handsome, but he still looks very miserable when he vomits blood.
"Sword drawing technique?"
After all, He is one of the oldest gods. Zhongli had met the one in Liyue and Inazuma before, but at that time she was not yet the God of Thunder. She was just a shadow, following behind Baal.
No, this is a different sword-drawing technique from Shadow!
After Bai Luo got into position, Zhongli was the first to notice the difference in Bai Luo's sword-drawing technique, and he immediately raised his hand to cast a layer of jade shield for himself.
The moment he put down the shield, a strange force suddenly affected him, making it impossible for him to put down his hands that had been raised.
Moreover, this special power suppressed him, preventing him from making any movement.
"How is this possible?"
Looking at Bai Luo in surprise, whose upper body was almost pressed to the ground, Zhongli even had the same illusion as Raiden Ei, thinking that Bai Luo was a person of their era.
Or rather, the devil.
Because in their impression, apart from the Demon God, no one else could do such a thing. But he quickly calmed down, he wanted to see what kind of sword Bai Luo would swing.
Bai Luo lowered his body and seemed to have only used one move, but in fact he had already used the Double Dragon Flash technique on himself.
That is to say, the moment he launches the Twin Dragon Flash, the two swords of the Dragon Hunting Flash will also be attached to the Twin Dragon Flash, causing explosive damage in an instant.
After accumulating enough strength, Bai Luo moved.
Flash of the Heavenly Flying Dragon was meant to suppress the opponent in an instant, then approach at an extremely fast speed and use a slashing sword technique.
Coupled with the speed-increasing effect of Twin Dragon Flash, Bai Luo was directly transformed into a red lightning.
"Flying Sword Style. Secret Technique. Sky-Soaring Dragon Flash!"

[Sōryūsen (双そう龍りゅう閃せん, Twin Dragon Flash) – Seemingly a simple Battōjutsu strike, Sōryūsen is the first of Hiten Mitsurugi-ryū's two-stage/step Battōjutsu moves. After the first strike with the quickened sword, the user wields the empty sheath along the same path as a blunt weapon. After the sword strike lands, the sheath strike delivers a pulverizing blow capable of crushing bone and shattering wood. Still, if the sword strike misses, the sheath strike acts as insurance, preventing an opponent's attack and delivering a crushing blow when least expected. This move is first seen being used by Kenshin against Udō Jine]
