Genshin Impact: Starting Guide - End of the World Qi Bao

After Jue Xi finished speaking impatiently, he decided to let him say one last thing, which was in accordance with the code of the martial arts world, and then he started checking his health bar.

"Arrogant fools, you will pay the price! The Abyss... is unstoppable!"

Jue Xi directly drew his "Key of Domination," a jet-black sword emanating an ominous aura that, no matter how many times she saw it, made her feel it was a villain's weapon. Although the opponent was an Abyss Apostle, Ying Mei felt that Jue Xi seemed to become more unsettling than the "Abyss" the moment he took out this sword...

Even the Abyss Apostle standing nearby chimed in with a comment.

"Such a terrifying and ominous aura...you are His Highness the Prince's enemy!"

The Abyss Apostle immediately unleashed its trump card, manipulating dozens of water blades to attack Jue Xi.

Jue Xi, wanting to play around a bit more, didn't use the system's "outrageous sword technique" (a modified version of the Tai Xu sword technique). Instead, he simply used his control power to manipulate the control key, unleashing a few ordinary sword energies. Each sword energy shattered the water blade and flew towards him. The Abyss Apostle had no chance to retaliate; he tried to dodge but felt his body unable to move, as if the surrounding space had been fixed. In the end, he managed to catch the sword energies with his body. Strangely, he had no wounds, but he was kneeling on one knee, one hand clutching his chest, panting heavily. However, at this moment, the feeling of the space around him was gone.

Jue Xi spoke.

"Is this the power of the 'Abyss'? How boring. My assessment is that it's inferior to Honkai energy."

Kiana wore a helpless expression; her captain was really dramatic.

Paimon, on the other hand, couldn't get enough of watching Jue Xi's attacks; the visual effects were simply too amazing. Paimon exclaimed excitedly.

"Juexi, are you really the Sword God?"

"Hmph, that's right, little Paimon. If anyone bullies you in the future, just tell me, and I'll stand up for you."

Paimon said excitedly.

"Really? It's a deal!"

Jue Xi thought of teasing Paimon.

"It's fake~"

"Hmm... a swordsman!"

Seeing Paimon angry made Juexi much happier.

Meanwhile, the Abyss Apostle couldn't escape either... However, a strange portal appeared beside him, and he immediately went inside. Juexi was distracted by Paimon and didn't notice it at first.

"Ugh, it's all your fault, you swordsman, you had to tease me, and he ran away."

Paimon immediately shifted the blame to Juexi.

Jue Xi remained silent, but didn't retaliate. She knew he would run away, so she initially sealed off the space around him to prevent him from escaping. Later, she deliberately used her power to plunder the abyssal power within him. In layman's terms, Jue Xi drained his mana bar, leaving him without mana to use skills and escape. Jue Xi pondered this matter without replying to the Mongols.

Kiana couldn't bear to watch any longer and, thinking the captain was blaming himself, spoke up.

"Little Paimon, don't blame my captain. If you do, I'll get angry."

Paimon also thought that Juexi was really unhappy and said apologetically.

"Hey... I didn't blame him. I was just saying. Juexi, don't be disappointed. I was wrong. I shouldn't have blamed you. Nobody knew he would suddenly run away. I'm sorry."

"what?"

Juexi said after she realized what was happening.

"No, I'm not angry with Xiao Paimeng. I'm just a little confused about how this Abyss Apostle got away. It seems that the 'prince' he mentioned saved him. Alright, let's leave here now."

The group left the ruins... and they encountered Dain as soon as they left.

"The reunion came sooner than I expected."

"Oh, it's Dain. Let me introduce you. This is Mu Juexi, and this is Kiana... um..."

Paimon then took on the role of guide, introducing everyone, though his brain capacity was rather limited.

Kiana said speechlessly.

"Little Paimon, I'm Kiana Kaslana, it's not that hard to remember, is it?"

"Yes, yes, this is Kiana Kaslana."

"Dane said."

"Hello, Mr. Juexi and Ms. Kiana. Judging from your expressions, it seems you've just experienced something strange. Did you perhaps encounter the 'Apostle of the Abyss' in those ruins?"

Paimon asked

"Huh? How did Dain know?"

“I’ve been hunting down the ‘Abyss Apostles’ all along, but I never expected to run into you here.”

Paimon and the traveler described to Dain the reversed statues, the dead, and the eerie scenes deep within the ruins…

Dain suggested.

"This is a rare opportunity, let's chase after it together."

Jue Xi thought helplessly, "I'm doomed. I'll have to go through the mission all over again. I should have been more careful and killed that Abyss Apostle with one sword. Then all this trouble would have been avoided."

Jue Xi also cleared out a bunch of Abyss Mages, and listened to Dain recount the history of the fall of Kanria. Kiana listened with great interest and asked Jue Xi in a low voice.

"Captain, those Kanria and Tenri they're talking about are really strong, I wonder..."

Juexi interrupted Kiana's question.

"Qibao, I know what you want to say, but my assessment is that I'm not as good as you. Don't worry, for us, it's like beating up cavemen."

After walking around for a long time, Juexi couldn't take it anymore. She decided to skip class!

Jue Xi suggested.

"How about this? I have a feeling there's something fishy about the ruins we arrived at at the beginning. The Abyss Apostles will probably return to the crime scene, so Qi Bao and I will go there and keep watch. We won't go with you."

"Alright, then I'll leave it to you and Kiana."

"Dain replied."

Jue Xi was so happy she felt like she could fly, and immediately led Qi Bao back to the ruins.

On the way back, Kiana asked

"Captain, why are we coming back?"

"Qibao, do you remember me saying that I knew what would happen next?"

"Yes, Captain, so you mean the Abyss Apostle will definitely come back, right?"

"Correct."

"Then why not tell Yingmei and that Dain?"

"Ahem, Qi Bao and the others have their own things to do, so we don't need to worry about them."

……

Two hours have passed. After a series of boat trips today, and then going to find Bai Shu and dealing with the Abyss Mage, it's now dark.

"Captain, why aren't Yingmei and the others here yet? My stomach is growling with hunger."

Kiana was kicking pebbles out of boredom in the ruins.

"Well, Qibao, my Domination Theater is quite big. Do you want to come and have a look? I can cook for you, and there are fun things, mountains, water, and a big bed."

Kiana is intelligent.

"I don't want to control the theater, Captain, you're just trying to entice me."

Jue Xi looked at Qi Bao thoughtfully and said.

"Since Qibao knows, then I won't be polite."

……

Just as the two were bickering and catching their breath, they sensed that Yingmei and the others were walking towards them.

"I never imagined that after all this twists and turns, we would end up back here."

Paimon said as he flew.

Kiana, noticing this, blushed and pushed Juexi away, but Juexi just chuckled and didn't take it seriously.

"The captain is really something..."

"Hehe, my Qibao is so beautiful, I couldn't resist."

"Don't say weird things."

Paimon and the others also met Juexi.

"Hey, Juexi, you guys have been waiting for a long time, haven't you?"

"Not long, two and a half hours."

Paimon stomped his foot.

"It can't take that long!"

"That's two hours and twenty-nine minutes."

"Dane said."

"Let's go quickly."

The group stopped arguing and arrived at the "Idol of Impurity Reversed"...

"Be careful, the 'Abyss Apostle' is here."

As soon as Dain arrived, he reminded the others.

The Abyss Apostle also graciously appeared behind the group.

Jue Xi spoke before he could even speak.

"A defeated opponent dares to show off his meager skills before an expert?"

After speaking, Juexi wanted to leave work early, so she directly took out her 'Changgui Sword' and hurled a sword aura without saying a word. This time, Juexi knew he would run away and 'Kong' would come to his rescue, so she deliberately didn't use her power to seal the space. Just as the Abyss Apostle was about to slip away, the purple portal was twisted and shattered by a yellow space the instant it appeared. Juexi saw this and immediately thought to herself.

It's over now.

Having learned from her previous experience, Kiana knew the apostle would escape and used her power of the Void to stop him. Seeing this familiar scene, Yingmei immediately turned to look at Kiana… space… white hair… and a similar voice. Was Kiana the Heavenly Principle? This strange thought arose spontaneously. Meanwhile, Kong, in an attempt to save his subordinates, launched a sneak attack on Kiana, but was discovered by Juexi. Knowing the script, Juexi suddenly appeared behind Kiana, unleashing a sword aura that neutralized Kong's sneak attack.

As the smoke cleared, Ying didn't immediately acknowledge Kong. Instead, she stared blankly at Kiana and said...

"Kiana, what are you? Is this justice?"

Kiana was dumbfounded.
