The gazes of these Fatui elites were like cold blades, carrying an undeniable sense of oppression.
Even though it was deep into the night, the atmosphere on this street became exceptionally heavy.
As if the air was filled with a tense feeling about to erupt.
One of the male elites slightly tilted his head, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes.
Then he said coldly, "You're Lin Mo, right? We have something to discuss with you."
Lin Mo: "..."
Very good, very arrogant.
It was the Fatui he remembered.
Lin Mo glanced at the options that had appeared before him, raised an eyebrow slightly, and his tone remained calm: "What do the Fatui want with me?"
"We invite you to join the Fatui."
The male Fatui elite's tone was cold and full of coercion, as if he were announcing a command.
"Join the Fatui, and you can get any resources you want, even Power. We can fulfill your every desire."
Lin Mo: "..."
Watching this guy make such a confident claim, as if it were a trivial matter, Lin Mo rubbed his chin and fell into contemplation.
The Fatui have always aimed to expand their influence and recruit talent.
But not in Mondstadt, surely.
"How about it?"
Before Lin Mo could speak, the male Fatui elite spoke again, seemingly a bit impatient.
Seeing this, Lin Mo chuckled, his tone carrying a hint of mockery: "Joining the Fatui can fulfill my every desire? Then, can I even obtain a gnosis?"
Hearing Lin Mo's words, the faces of several of the Fatui elites stiffened.
Then, a difficult-to-hide sneer and speechlessness appeared on their faces.
The male elite standing at the very front gave Lin Mo a cold glance, his tone full of disdain: "What are you? Do you even deserve to think about getting a gnosis?"
"If you perform well, we Fatui can grant you a Vision, provided you earn the appropriate merits."
"A Vision?"
Hearing this, Lin Mo's expression was strange: "Don't the Fatui use Delusions?"
"It seems you know quite a lot."
Hearing this, the Fatui elite's eyes suddenly narrowed.
The fact that the Fatui possessed Delusions was not known to ordinary people.
Even those in Mondstadt who knew rarely revealed it voluntarily.
Even the Knights of Favonius would actively suppress such information.
He hadn't expected a young fellow to know about Delusions.
Interesting.
The male elite's gaze suddenly became sharper.
Staring intently at Lin Mo, his tone filled with menace: "I didn't expect you to even know about Delusions. Now, tell me your choice."
"No one can refuse the Fatui's invitation. If you don't join, are you trying to challenge our authority?"
Lin Mo: "..."
Hearing this, the smile on Lin Mo's face gradually faded.
His tone was very indifferent, and he said casually: "Challenge your authority?"
"I haven't felt your authority, but your 'invitation' makes me feel somewhat ridiculous."
"So you're refusing?"
Hearing this, the expression on the Fatui elite's face gradually darkened.
The male Fatui elite even let out a cold laugh: "With that attitude, do you really think you can leave safely? Joining the Fatui can bring you endless resources and power. Refuse us, and you'll only be a lonely desperado."
"A desperado?"
Hearing this, Lin Mo said softly: "You can try."
"Swish!"
As soon as his words fell, Lin Mo, without any hesitation, quickly activated the skill derived from Clara's Power of the Path branch—[I Want to Help Too].
He instantly injected the Power of the Path of Destruction from this skill into the sword in his hand.
In the afternoon, he had bought a new sword from the Adventurers' Guild.
Having learned from previous experience, this time he was able to control the sword so that it wouldn't shatter on the spot after being enchanted.
"Buzz!"
In an instant, Lin Mo's sword emitted a shocking aura.
The surface of the sword body flickered with dazzling light, as if a raging energy that devoured everything was whistling across the blade.
With the injection of the Power of the Path of Destruction, the sharpness and destructive power of the blade instantly reached their peak.
The surrounding air also became heavy, as if it could be torn apart at any moment.
And facing Lin Mo's sudden movement, the Fatui elites' expressions instantly changed.
Especially the male elite at the very front, his eyes instantly turned cold, carrying a hint of solemnity.
"You dare to act?"
The threat in his tone had become even more obvious.
But Lin Mo no longer hesitated, and the blade swiftly swung out.
"Swish!"
This sword strike was almost without warning, the blade cutting through the air, carrying a destructive airflow that instantly pierced towards one of the Fatui elites.
That elite had not yet reacted when his entire body was struck by this sharp sword light.
Then his body split open in response, directly cut into two halves.
Blood splattered, a fishy smell filled the air, and severed limbs flew mercilessly.
This scene completely shocked the other Fatui elites, their faces instantly changing drastically, a hint of fear and anger flashing in their eyes.
The male elite was stunned for a second, then roared in fury: "How can there be such a terrifying sword?!"
"Is it a divine weapon?"
His voice trembled slightly.
Clearly, he hadn't expected Lin Mo's single sword swing to possess such immense power.
The several Fatui elites were equally shocked, and after exchanging glances, they all gripped their weapons tightly, ready to counterattack immediately.
Clearly, they had underestimated Lin Mo's strength.
Nor had they expected Lin Mo to unleash such terrifying power in this situation.
"Catch him!"
"Without a Vision, such a weapon is merely a child holding gold."
The male Fatui elite roared, his pair of sharp claws instantly swinging, charging towards Lin Mo with a powerful murderous aura.
The other Fatui elites also quickly gathered, pulling out their weapons, forming a siege, vowing to completely eliminate Lin Mo on the spot.
But Lin Mo sneered, his figure flashed, and he quickly leaped to the side, avoiding the male elite's fierce attack.
The sword light cut out again, precise and swift.
Every sword strike was filled with destructive power, making it almost impossible for opponents to resist.
He had no pause, his movements swift and fluid.
Each sword swing was accompanied by strong wind pressure, and the surrounding air seemed to be torn apart.
The Fatui elites immediately fell into a predicament.
Although their attack speed was not slow, every offensive was skillfully avoided by Lin Mo, and his counterattacks were extremely deadly.
The male Fatui elite was furious, but facing Lin Mo's swordsmanship, he couldn't even find an opportunity to counterattack.
He also had to constantly dodge.
He couldn't be touched by the sword at all.
