The power of Observation Haki granted Ganyu an extraordinary level of perception.
Even as the frenzied Fire Qilin charged head-on, she could evade it with ease.
However, Ganyu was kind-hearted to a fault. Before defeating it, she wanted to investigate why it had gone berserk.
"Hello, I am also a Qilin. Please, can you tell me why you've become so agitated?"
Ganyu's words received no response.
In her perception, the creature before her was like a wild beast, completely devoid of reason.
Anger.
Madness.
Destruction.
All sorts of negative emotions continuously radiated from it.
Looking at the Fire Qilin that knew only destruction and attack, Ganyu sighed. "Since you will not speak, then I will have to make you calm down completely."
Frostflake Arrows.
A three-shot burst landed directly on the Fire Qilin's body.
Instantly, the entire cavern was covered in a layer of shimmering ice.
However, through the live stream, Su Han and the others could see that within the solid ice, the flames were still burning fiercely.
Ningguang:This is too terrifying. The frost has already frozen it solid, yet its flames are not extinguished! What kind of power is this?
Keqing:It's a complete beast, with no rationality to speak of. Only someone as kind as Ganyu would even try to awaken its reason.
Zhongli:She merely wishes to understand the Qilin of other worlds. Unfortunately, this Qilin is just as Su Han said, lacking in intelligence.
Mona:Even without reason, its combat power is insane. The cave is about to collapse.
The power of the Fire Qilin was naturally not so simple. After being frozen for a moment, it directly shattered the ice and charged at Ganyu once more.
This time, fearing it would be frozen again, it began to spit fireballs.
Massive fireballs, three meters in diameter, shot recklessly from its mouth.
Ganyu dodged again and again, her heart perfectly calm. Several times, she stood her ground, allowing the fireballs to graze past her ears.
Mona, watching in the group chat, couldn't help but gasp.
What am I seeing? How can she predict the direction of the enemy's attacks?
Mona:Heavens! How is she doing that?
Beidou:Didn't you check the group files? This is the power of the second type of Haki, Observation Haki! You can only cultivate it if your mind is as clear as ice.
Hu Tao:So annoying! Why can't I learn Observation Haki?
Xiangling:Give it up, Tao-tao. You can't even sit still. You can forget about Observation Haki.
Keqing:I'm finally seeing Observation Haki in a real battle. Even with her eyes closed, Ganyu could probably dodge the enemy's attacks right now.
The strength of the Fire Qilin was beyond doubt. A single fireball could melt the cave wall.
But no matter how strong an attack was, it was useless if it couldn't hit its target.
Ganyu continued to create distance while dodging. Gradually, the Fire Qilin began to think of retreating.
It had already been shot into a hedgehog. There were arrows sticking out from all over its body.
There were even five arrows sticking out of its nose.
Fine, I can't beat you, but I can run, can't I?
The Fire Qilin shot the blue-haired human an angry glare, then turned and fled deeper into the Lingyun Grotto.
"Not good, it's running away!"
Ganyu's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly gave chase.
If it escaped into the depths of the cave, she would be facing not one enemy, but three!
Su Han had said that there were two other powerful experts deeper inside.
A one-on-one fight was no problem for her, but a one-on-three was an unknown.
To prevent that from happening, Ganyu revealed the true power of an adepti beast. Her entire body was enveloped in a silvery-white light, and the phantom of a Qilin appeared behind her.
"I apologize for this, but for the sake of Liyue, I can only choose slaughter!"
"Flowing Heaven Archery: Frigid Qilin's Fury!"
A small Qilin, formed from Cryo energy and wrapped in black Armament Haki, condensed on her Amos' Bow.
The very ground, under the influence of this power, was covered in a layer of desolate ice and snow.
This was an ultimate technique of the Qilin clan, an attack launched using one's own essence blood.
The small Qilin transformed into a streak of blue light, flying forward at a speed almost invisible to the naked eye.
The fleeing Fire Qilin sensed the threat from behind and quickly turned to counter-attack.
But this time, its flames seemed to have lost their effect. They were directly torn apart by the small Qilin.
BOOM!
A deafening sound echoed through the cave.
The Fire Qilin's body was slammed into the depths of the grotto, and a miserable howl reverberated. This one blow had clearly caused it immense pain.
When Ganyu arrived before the Fire Qilin, its chest had been torn open. Large amounts of blood flowed onto the ground. It looked truly pitiful.
Ganyu's face showed a trace of pity. "I'm sorry," she said in a low voice. "For Liyue, I can only choose to destroy you."
If this were in Teyvat, perhaps she would have spared it. But this was a mission. It had to be completely defeated for her task to be complete.
And she still had more important things to do.
The bowstring vibrated.
Scarlet blood splattered onto Ganyu's fair face.
When the Fire Qilin was completely dead, she received the system notification.
