"Dongdong——"
In an instant, Zhongli only felt two rapid attack sounds coming from his jade shield. The two sounds were so close that it even made people think that they only sounded once.
He originally thought that his shield had successfully blocked the opponent's attack, but the next moment, the pain that had not appeared for a long time suddenly appeared in him.
The opponent's last blow knocked him directly into the air, making him unable to move.
Flash of the Heavenly Soaring Dragon is the ultimate secret of the Hiten Sword Style. If the Nine-Headed Dragon Flash is the most basic sword technique of slashing nine swords along different trajectories, then the Flash of the Heavenly Soaring Dragon is to combine these nine swords in one place.
The attack changes from area to point, and the damage is greatly increased.
This is what is called borrowing power.
After being forcibly knocked away, Zhongli also felt that the strange restraining force on his body had disappeared.
Zhongli rolled over and landed on the ground, waving his hand to summon his Vortex Vanquisher, but before he could assume a defensive posture, he saw Bai Luo gently squeeze the reverse-blade sword in his hand.
"Buzz——"
A special force surged through his body, giving him a feeling as if he was doused with ice water, and also clearing up his consciousness which had become a little blurred due to blood loss.
Not only in terms of consciousness, but even the bleeding wounds were gradually healing.
It's not that the Reverse Blade has a healing effect, it just treats the bleeding state as a negative state and clears it away at the same time.
The most important thing is that the Flash of the Heavenly Soaring Dragon, which had been in a cooling state, resumed its cooling state and became available.
"Flying Sword Style. Secret Technique. Flash of the Heavenly Soaring Dragon!"
Zhongli: "???"
Looking at Bai Luo rushing towards him, Zhongli had a look of surprise on his face.
Still coming? You have no moral principles!?
The feeling of being imprisoned appeared again. It was the first time that Zhongli encountered a weirdo like Bai Luo, and he actually suffered a loss at his hands.
The pain appeared again, and this time even Zhongli frowned slightly.
As the Geo Archon, Zhongli's defense is higher than that of ordinary gods, but the two secret techniques used by Bai Luo ignored his shield and defense and directly acted on his body.
Fortunately, his physical strength is not comparable to that of ordinary people, so it is not a big problem for him to take his two sword attacks.
One or two cuts will be fine, but I'm afraid this thing will keep cutting.
If he could ignore his defense with every strike of his sword, even if his physique was much stronger than that of an ordinary demon god, he probably wouldn't be able to withstand this torment, right?
If it was just this kind of damage to the body, he could still dodge it, but the most important thing was the strange confinement and knockback effect.
If the other party can use it non-stop, he won't be able to bear it.
"That's two moves. Come on."
After discovering that the jade shield was ineffective, Zhongli simply dispersed the shield, just stood there, and gripped the rainbow spear tightly, ready to attack.
As soon as Bai Luo finishes his three moves, he will take decisive action.
Then...
"Pah—"
Holding a reverse-edged knife in his hand, Bai Luo maintained the posture of swinging the knife and just fell down. He lay in the puddle without any movement, and a few bubbles occasionally appeared on the water surface.
"..."
It's been a thousand years! It's been a thousand years!
Zhongli had seen all kinds of opponents and had encountered sinister and cunning demons, but no matter how hard those people tried, in the face of absolute force, everything was in vain.
But what about Bai Luo?
For the first time, he felt what it meant to be unable to use one's strength from this young man from the Snezhnaya.
Don't beat him?
No, I can't. I was stabbed twice by him and it hurts so much. How can I feel good if I don't beat him back?
Beat him?
It was agreed that he would have three moves, but he only used two. Beating him now would be equivalent to breaking the previously drawn up contract. For him, the God of Contracts, breaking the contract was a big deal, and it might even affect him.
Seeing that even bubbles were no longer coming out of the water, Zhongli had no choice but to run over and pull him out of the water.
We can't just watch him drown, can we?
To be honest, Bai Luo was pretending to be dizzy at first. After hearing Zhongli say that he had one more move, he realized that Zhongli did not notice that he added a Twin Dragon Flash before the two Flash of the Heavenly Soaring Dragons.
So he lay down in the water and pretended that he had taken off his clothes.
Otherwise, what? Would he be beaten by Morax? He was not Barbatos. Even if the other party didn't kill him, it would not be pleasant to be beaten by the God of War.
After swinging the sword twice in a row like this, it's normal for me to lose some strength, right?
But during the time when Zhongli was struggling internally, he was really a little confused. If the other party didn't come to help him, then he could only get up by himself.
"Boy, are you okay?"
Seeing Bai Luo dying, Zhongli subconsciously wanted to treat him.
But after extending his hand, he retracted it.
"No, I can't do anything until he has used three moves. What should I do?"
"..."
Bai Luo, who was still barely conscious, almost sat up. So the shield you used before didn't count, and now it's useless when you're healing?
"Bai Luo, can you still hear what I say?"
He checked the wound that Bai Luo had stabbed himself. Although the knife wound was still very hideous and even pierced through his body, the situation was better than he had imagined.
At least there's no danger to life.
"Um."
After Bai Luo took a few quick breaths, he managed to utter a small sound.
"Don't worry, our contract is valid for a long time. Since I promised to fight with you, I will never break my promise. When you are well, you can make up for the remaining move. At that time, I will do my best to fight with you and make sure you have a good fight."
"..."
You beat me to your heart's content, right? !
Sure enough, when old people get angry, their tempers are similar to those of naughty children. Fortunately, I will go to Inazuma later, so it is impossible...
Forget it, forget it, let's not cause trouble for ourselves.
I had just said last time that it was impossible for me to come to Liyue, let alone meet the Childe, but now I have already embarked on a journey to Liyue.
Who knows if something strange will happen after arriving in Liyue.
Things were simple after that. After getting the "promise" from Geo Emperor, Bai Luo was sent back to the Fatui team.
But before being sent back, he transformed into a black form.
It's a pity that changing professions can only repair clothes but not injuries, otherwise he would be considered invincible.
Seeing Bai Luo in such a miserable state, the Ninth Company naturally became riotous again and almost got into a fight with Zhongli.
Fortunately, Bai Luo stopped it in time and prevented a bloody incident from happening.
After saying goodbye to Zhongli, Bai Luo climbed comfortably onto his slime carriage, receiving treatment from Katarina while enjoying the peanuts handed to him by her.
The peanuts were bought from Uncle Zhou, one at a time. A bag of peanuts cost several hundred yuan. Fortunately, he didn't have to pay for it, so he didn't feel bad.
The other side.
"Zhongli, are you okay?"
The girl carrying a shovel ran over panting. She saw with her own eyes that Bai Luo slashed him twice, and she could even see blood splattering.
"It's okay, just a minor injury."
Zhongli smiled slightly and put his hands behind his back to show that he was fine.
But the girl didn't notice that traces of blood were already dripping down his sleeves.
And a hideous scar was clinging to Zhongli's shoulder.

Kuzuryūsen (九頭くず龍りゅう閃せん, Nine-Head Dragon Flash) – A dashing attack that uses Shinsoku (Godspeed) to simultaneously strike all nine vital spots on the foe's body from a normal kendō stance, as each of these nine points is the main targets for different swordstyles (only different styles target different ones). It is said to be unavoidable and nearly unblockable and is taught as a prerequisite for the succession technique. It is also Hiko Seijūrō XIII's signature move that he personally takes pride in being the best at. However, users who are faster than the Hiten Mitsurugi can evade the attack head-on, as seen with Seta Sōjirō. The strength of the move's "nine heads" will differ greatly depending on the user's speed, force and even weight. Kenshin's Kuzuryūsen is powerful but is countered at one point by Yukishiro Enishi, due to the speed being matched, while Hiko's Kuzuryūsen easily overcame Kenshin's due to Hiko's weight advantage. Hiko's God-like Strength allows him to instantly down the immense Fuji despite such a huge weight disadvantage and being unable to perform the attack at godspeed due to wearing the Heirloom weighted cloak.
The nine heads of the targets are counterclockwise while looking towards the target from the user's view (shown more clearly from Kenshin's viewpoint when used in J-Stars Victory Vs.):
Karatake (唐から竹たけ/幹から竹たけ, Tang Bamboo/Tree Trunk Bamboo) Aimed at the above head with the downward strike: 壹いち (Ichi, one)
Sakagesagiri (逆さ袈かげ裟さ切きり, Inverted Kasaya Slash) Aimed at right shoulder diagonally: 貳に (ni, two)
Miginagi (右みぎ薙なぎ, Right Mower) Aimed at right arm's center from the side: 參さん (san, three)
Migikiriage (右みぎ切きり上あげ, Right Cutting Lift) Aimed at right arm's bottom/right wrist diagonally: 肆し (shi, four)
Sakakaze (逆さか風かぜ, Inverted Wind) Aimed at groin area from below via upward stroke, or straight from front: 伍ご (go, five)
Hidarikiriage (左ひだり切上きりあげ, Left Cutting Lift) Aimed at left arm's bottom/left wrist diagonally: 陸ろく (roku, six)
Hidarinagi (左ひだり薙なぎ, Left Mower) Aimed at left arm's center from the side: 漆しち (shichi, seven)
Kesagiri (袈裟けさ切きり, Kasaya Slash) Aimed at left shoulder diagonally: 捌はち (hachi, eight)
Tsuki/Shitotsu (刺つき突しとつ, Thrusting/Thorn Thrust) Aimed at center of the chest, at breastbone: 玖きゅう (kyū, nine)
Ryūmeisen (龍りゅう鳴めい閃せん, Dragon Cry Flash) – An unusual technique in which one uses the Godspeed of Battōjutsu to sheathe the sword rather than to draw it in a practice known as Shinsoku Nōtōjutsu (神速納刀術, Godspeed Sheathed Blade Technique). The speed and force create a miniature sonic boom that can temporarily stun opponents with particularly sensitive or acute hearing by affecting their auditory nerves. This move is only seen once by Kenshin against Yukishiro Enishi. While this attack would normally only deafen the target for a while due to Enishi's hyper-sensitive nervous system, Ryūmeisen also managed to affect his equilibrium.
Amakakeru Ryū no Hirameki (天あまか翔ける龍りゅうの閃ひらめき, Flash of the Heavenly Soaring Dragon) – The secret ultimate technique, a.k.a. the ōgi (奥おう義ぎ, secret skill) of Hiten Mitsurugi-ryū, Amakakeru Ryū no Hirameki is a powerful Battōjutsu technique whose secret lies in discovering both the significance and insignificance of one's life, the penultimate requirement needed to master the Hiten Mitsurugi-ryū.
Though its form is that of any other Battōjutsu strike, the Amakakeru Ryū no Hirameki differs in that - while a normal strike is performed by drawing the katana from its sheath on one side while stepping forward with the following opposite foot, using a single step, this strike adds yet another step (a second step) mid-draw with the foot adjacent to the sheath (creating a Stutter-Step) which momentarily makes an instantaneous acceleration to the forward-charge as well as the sword draw. Meanwhile, the range of the attack is increased and the timing of the attack changes slightly, which can throw off the opponent.
Although indeed a super-sword attack, it endangers the user by possibly putting the adjacent leg into the free sword's path and draws one even closer to an opponent's sword than usual, but on the other hand, boosts the speed of the sword draw to beyond-godspeed and even greater is the boost in force of the strike. By realizing one's insignificance and risking life and limb to protect something else while, at the same time, taking one's own fragile human life into consideration, the user can step into the small margin behind one's own drawn sword and in front of the sword of one's opponent without fail, delivering a beyond-godspeed blow of monstrous power.
Additionally, like the other battōjutsu attacks of Hiten Mitsurugi-ryū, Amakakeru Ryū no Hirameki is a two-step move, and if its secret should be anticipated and the strike itself blocked or dodged, the second step comes immediately into effect. The immense force of the enhanced draw cuts the air in front of it and creates a powerful vacuum in its wake as the deflected air rushes back into place. Any opponent able to deflect or dodge the first swing will automatically be subject to this vacuum and inexorably pulled closer to the user; all the while, this vacuum creates intense winds powerful enough to overwhelm and catch their opponents off balance. With the great amount of force being applied to the Amakakeru Ryū no Hirameki, a missed swing leads naturally into an accelerated spin of such centripetal force akin to the Ryūkansen. The added momentum of the spin, in addition to the pulling force of the vacuum on both sides, results in a second strike that greatly dwarfs the first in power. This is best explained to Kaoru by Hiko Seijūrō XIII: "Even if you avoid the fangs of the flying dragon, the gusting winds strip away the freedom of movement, and the claws would rip you apart".
