Genshin Impact: The Road to Reversal

Heros frowned, the arc steel knife in his hand crackling as he approached, his heavy boots clattering against the metal deck with a heart-pounding thud. The members of his brigade behind him fanned out, blocking all possible escape routes for Mo Yan and Funina.

The wind was howling in the sky, almost blowing people away.

Mo Yan held Funina firmly behind him, his eyes piercing as he scanned the approaching enemy. He lowered his body slightly, ready to fight. He drew the longsword from his waist, facing an enemy several times his size and armed to the teeth, his situation was precarious.

"Looks like there's nothing more to talk about. Come on, everyone." Heros said calmly.

Behind him, two brigade members holding high-frequency vibration daggers rushed out like cheetahs, one on the left and one on the right, and the daggers pierced Mo Yan's ribs with a teeth-grinding buzzing sound.

Mo Yan's eyes flashed, and instead of retreating, he advanced, the long sword in his hand emitting a swift silver light.

Clang! Clang!

Two crisp sounds erupted almost simultaneously, sparks flying everywhere. Mo Yan accurately parried both daggers, the immense force of the blows leaving his arms slightly numb. But he capitalized on the momentum, spinning around and swishing his sword tip like a venomous snake, piercing the enemy's throat to the right, forcing him to retreat in panic.

However, the second attack from the enemy on the left had already arrived, and the dagger went straight to his waist and abdomen.

"Be careful!" exclaimed Furninna.

Mo Yan twisted his waist violently, slamming the hilt down, barely deflecting the dagger's thrust. But at that moment, Heros moved! His nearly aged frame exploded with speed belying his size, and the arcing steel blade, with immense force, slashed across his waist.

The range of this knife was extremely large, almost blocking all of Mo Yan's space to dodge.

At the critical moment, Mo Yan pushed off the ground with his toes, leaning back sharply. The scorching electric light of the steel knife almost brushed past his nose, and the strong wind it brought made his cheek hurt. He took the opportunity to kick the knee of the retreating enemy.

"Ah!" The man screamed and knelt on one knee.

Just as Mo Yan stabilized his body, another enemy holding a composite shield rushed to him. The heavy shield came slamming towards him with a whistling sound.

Mo Yan blocked with his sword!

boom!

A massive impact sent Mo Yan stumbling backward, the metal deck beneath his feet making a harsh scraping sound. The shield-wielding enemy, taking advantage of the situation, unleashed the armor-piercing spikes on his shield, piercing Mo Yan's chest.

At the same time, Heros raised his steel knife again, blocking the air above Mo Yan. The other two enemies also readjusted their stances, their daggers flashing coldly, and attacked from the flanks.

For a time, he was in a desperate situation surrounded by enemies on all sides.

"Mo Yan!" Funina's heart was in her throat. She subconsciously wanted to step forward, but what could she do without any strength?

High in the sky, the battle had just begun, and it was already fraught with danger.

"It's over, it's all my fault. Now Mo Yan has broken in too. No, I have to think of some other way to help him..."

At that moment, she suddenly noticed the damaged wiring on a nearby plywood deck. It was the bullet holes and burn marks left by her plane before it crashed. The exposed wires lay intact beneath the damaged deck, and she suddenly remembered the prison cell at the Fallen Angel Troupe's base.

At that time, because she didn't want to be used, she threw herself against the iron bars in a desperate attempt to die, but thanks to the protection of Phoenix's divine consciousness, she successfully escaped from the prison. But at that time, a strong man like Heros heard the sound and rushed into the cell with two of his men.

When she heard that the other party was going to report the news, she was extremely scared, so she reacted subconsciously. At that time, Phoenix's miracle happened again, but it was different from before, because this time, she was thinking and praying unintentionally, so it can be said that she took the initiative.

"Yes, I can't control this power yet, but if I just guide it..."

She looked in Mo Yan's direction, and while he was still fighting with the enemy, she took small steps back to the damaged splint, then squatted down quietly and slowly placed her hand on it.

"Please, Phoenix, you have to give it your all this time!"

She concentrated her attention, trying to control some of the strength in her body and inject cold air into the circuit.

Finina held her breath, concentrating all her attention on her palms. A chilling sensation emanated from the metal deck, and she tried to recall the immense power she had subconsciously unleashed in the cell, trying to grasp a subtle connection.

At first, nothing happened. Only the sharp wind in the sky and the sounds of fierce fighting below. Sweat trickled down her forehead.

But gradually, a faint yet unmistakable chill began to seep from her palm, like a trickle of water, slowly but steadily seeping into the damaged wiring. Pale blue ice crystals spread along the metal wiring at a speed visible to the naked eye, emitting a subtle "crackling" sound.

"Success!"

Finina was delighted, but she didn't dare relax even a bit, directing this force with even greater concentration. Like living vines, the ice crystals quickly crawled beneath the deck, silently eroding the critical systems within the airship.

Meanwhile, Mo Yan was struggling to cope with the siege. Heros's steel blade slashed again, and he raised his sword to block it, but the immense force numbed his palms, and he retreated repeatedly, almost reaching Fininna.

"It's useless to struggle!" Heros laughed wildly and raised the knife again.

Sudden……

laugh--!

The airship shook violently, and the roar of the engine was accompanied by the sound of a heavy load. In an instant, the airship lost its balance and began to tilt and fall in the air.

"what happened?"

The members of the brigade on the deck were thrown into disarray, stumbling from side to side on the lurching deck. The shield-wielding enemy slipped, and the shield flew out of his grasp. The two dagger-wielding men frantically searched for anchorage, no longer able to attack.

Mo Yan's body was also shaken by this sudden change, but he reacted extremely quickly, pulled Funina beside him closer, and inserted his sword deeply into the crack of the deck to fix the two of them.

"Did you do this?" Mo Yan looked at Funina and asked.

Finina nodded: "Yes, but it seems that it is a bit too much..."

She scratched her head. At this moment, not only Heros and the others, but even she and Mo Yan were off balance because of the tilt of the airship.

In the cab, except It, everyone else was in chaos.

"The power system failed!"

"The control system is not responding!"

"The main energy circuit is frozen at abnormally low temperatures, and the power system is overloaded!"

On the console, multiple screens went black instantly, and the rest were covered with snow and garbled characters.

"What's going on? What on earth happened!" It roared, slapping the out-of-control console with his hands frantically, but got no response.

"The system shows abnormally low temperatures, but what exactly caused it..."

Before his men could finish, Iter shouted again, "Enough! Activate the backup line immediately!"
