Although this woman had an extraordinary temperament and an ethereal, immortal-like air, demons were masters of deception!
And a woman with horns on her head—what could she be but a demon?
"Demon woman, cease your insolence!"
"Sword Art: Ten Thousand Miles on the Wind!"
"Sword Art: Verdant Wood's Gentle Rain!"
Even though Ganyu had already stated that she was a Qilin, these people from the Daoist Alliance didn't believe her at all and instead launched a full-scale attack.
A sky full of sword energy rained down on Ganyu.
The two fox demons on the city wall immediately cried out.
"Not good! Dodge, quick!"
"These human Daoists are so despicable!"
The two of them cursed endlessly, but the anxiety in their eyes did not lessen in the slightest. If the benefactor who had saved their sister was injured because of this, they would be heartbroken.
The red-clothed fox demon wanted to go and help, but the distance was too great.
But the scene that followed left everyone dumbfounded.
The blue-robed "demon woman" did not fly away. She simply stood her ground, gently shifting her body.
Each movement was by a razor-thin margin, yet it was just enough to dodge every single attack.
What kind of ability was this?
The dense sword energy was as terrifying as a torrential downpour, yet she moved through it with the grace of someone taking a leisurely stroll in a courtyard.
The crowd did not know that in Ganyu's perception, all of the attacks were like slow motion. She could even perceive a trace of the future.
The people of the Daoist Alliance watched as she finished dodging, and a chill ran down their spines.
If they had been confident in stopping her before, now their hearts were filled with nothing but fear and awe.
Just think: a demon woman whose dodging was this terrifying… how frightening must her true strength be?
The distant Golden-Faced Fire God's face was pale, unable to believe his eyes.
More than twenty masters had attacked in unison, yet they hadn't even touched a single hair on her head.
This woman was simply too terrifying. I have to escape.
The Golden-Faced Fire God's eyes darted around, and he roared, "Don't be afraid of this demon woman! I have the Demon-Slaying Divine Fire! I just wasn't using my full strength just now. If I unleash my full power, she will surely be vanquished! Attack together!"
Following his roar, a giant fireball was suddenly born in the sky.
The scorching temperature twisted the very air, and the nearby grass and trees began to wither.
"I didn't expect Senior Golden-Faced Fire God to be so powerful! Let's go too! After all, we came here to slay demons!"
"That's right!"
"Everyone, attack together!"
The Golden-Faced Fire God's display gave everyone on the scene a boost of confidence, and all of them charged forward.
Unfortunately, none of them saw that as the fireball descended, the Golden-Faced Fire God turned and fled without a second look.
Ganyu sensed him leaving and her heart grew anxious. If he escaped, hunting him down again would be difficult. But there were still so many innocent humans in front of her.
Calm down. I must calm down. Su Han said that no matter what the situation, I must remain calm.
Condense the Haki, let it flow.
I'm sorry, Su Han, that you have to see me at my most unsightly.
Ganyu took a deep breath and murmured to herself.
Then, she opened her eyes.
The True Blood of the Qilin began to surge madly within her body.
If Cloud Retainer were here, she would surely be astonished, because ever since the Archon War, Ganyu had never displayed this side of her Qilin bloodline.
This was her side as an adeptibeast. Her bestial side.
The ground was covered in frost. Everything within Ganyu's range was transformed into ice.
And on her face, shimmering blue patterns appeared.
Otherworldly. Beautiful. Noble.
This was the true bloodline of an adeptibeast!
The Amos' Bow hummed, shining like a crescent moon in the air.
"Silver Scale Shimmering Moon!"
When the power of the Cryo element completely erupted, Ganyu's hair was whipped into a frenzy.
At this moment, the sky lost its color, and the earth let out a mournful cry. The silver frost made it seem as if the entire world had entered winter.
Without the need for any weapon, just with her own power, she could influence the heavens.
This was Ganyu's true strength as a Qilin.
Gradually, her fair, slender fingers were replaced by scales. The stronger the power she unleashed, the more obvious her Qilin-like state became.
The Daoists in the sky were scared silly by this scene. They wanted to leave, but their bodies had already been frozen.
Regret. Fear. Dread. All sorts of negative emotions flooded their hearts.
If we had known she was this strong, we wouldn't have been so impulsive!
But there were no second chances in this world.
Soon, a silver meteor shot up from below.
BOOM!
In an instant, it was as if time itself had been frozen.
The terrifying arrow directly destroyed the giant fireball, and the entire sky exploded like a giant firework, shattering all the clouds.
The massive shockwave sent all the Daoists flying and also slightly woke them from their frozen state.
On the city wall, the two cute fox demons' scalps tingled with fear.
"Th-this is the power of a Qilin?"
"No wonder they are called an auspicious beast. This is simply too terrifying."
The little boy in the distance saw this shocking scene and couldn't help but exclaim, "Heavens, not even our family's Demon-Slaying Divine Fire can stop her? That big sister is too strong."
In the Multiverse Mission Group chat, Su Han watched Ganyu's transformation in silence.
He had never seen this form in the game, nor had anyone ever mentioned it.
Su Han:@Ningguang, do you know what Ganyu's current state is?
Ningguang:No, I've never seen or heard of it. I thought you had given her some kind of Devil Fruit!
Mona:What power did she use? Why does it look so cool?
Perhaps others would be frightened by Ganyu's appearance, but in her eyes, this form was incredibly cool.
Shenhe:I haven't seen it either, but from the looks of it now, something doesn't seem quite right.
Sucrose:It seems to be her bloodline, right? I saw her skin turn into scales.
Yae Miko:You all still don't get it? The Qilin has activated her true bloodline, just like when I used my ultimate move in the tomb that day. When adeptibeasts like us use our great power, our bodies will always undergo some changes.
Why couldn't you normally see her fox tails? Naturally, it was because Yae Miko didn't want people to see them. It was the same for Ganyu. Aside from the horns on her head which she could not hide, she had never shown this form to anyone, because it was her privacy.
Su Han:I see… understood!
It seemed Ganyu's true strength was far greater than he had imagined.
In the world of the fox spirits, after the giant fireball made by the Demon-Slaying Divine Fire was shattered, Ganyu found that the Golden-Faced Fire God had been blocked.
He had originally wanted to escape but was caught up by the red-clothed fox demon. However, because she could not fight against the Demon-Slaying Divine Fire, she was now injured and in a very sorry state.
"You demon! You're so troublesome! You've forced this old man to even eat the Crimson-Lian Demon Pill! You truly don't know death!"
The sky full of flames transformed into a long whip, continuously striking the red-clothed fox demon. But although she was coughing up blood, she sneered, "I only need to hold on until that Miss Qilin comes over. Then the one who will die is you."
Since the Golden-Faced Fire God's identity had been exposed, they naturally could not let him leave this place, or there would be endless trouble in the future. The other Daoists could be spared, but this person absolutely could not be allowed to live. It was just a pity that this Demon-Slaying Divine Fire was too effective against her. Otherwise, she could have killed a guy of his level with ease.
The long whip fell mercilessly. The red-clothed fox demon endured the pain and continued to attack, not stopping even when her arms were a bloody mess.
"Damn you, fox demon! Why won't you just die?!"
"Die!"
"Just die already!"
The Golden-Faced Fire God attacked like a madman, trying to drive away this roadblock. He had already seen his technique being broken. That terrifying woman would soon reappear before him. He had to leave as soon as possible. The unease in his heart grew stronger and stronger, forcing him to continuously swing his flames. With another heavy blow, he sent the red-clothed fox demon flying.
Seizing this opening, the Golden-Faced Fire God turned and ran.
Unfortunately, Ganyu had already arrived.
Swish.
A sky-piercing arrow came at him again.
The Golden-Faced Fire God reacted quickly, directly counter-attacking with his Demon-Slaying Divine Fire. Having swallowed the Crimson-Lian Demon Pill, he was on a completely different level from before and actually managed to block Ganyu's arrow.
"So, you're not as powerful as I imagined," the Golden-Faced Fire God suddenly smiled. It seemed that the other party had already used up a lot of energy blocking his attack. In that case, what did he have to be afraid of?
The Golden-Faced Fire God looked at Ganyu and sneered, "You said just now that you were a Qilin, right? Ah, the inner core of a Qilin must be very powerful. If I were to swallow your inner core, I might even be able to become an immortal."
The Crimson-Lian Demon Pill in his hand had been refined from the inner core of a demon and could greatly increase his own strength. Otherwise, he would have been exhausted just now.
If he could obtain a Qilin, then he would be completely reborn, and even regain his youth. It might even be possible.
Thinking of this, the Golden-Faced Fire God's gaze grew more and more fervent, to the point where he wished he could kill the otherworldly Qilin on the spot.
