Genshin Impact: Dionysus reigns supreme, all demons retreat!

Upon hearing this voice, Xu Ning smiled wryly and said, "It really is a persistent ghost!"

Looking up, the monster had gathered again at the cave entrance.

This time, however, the rolling speed of the filth was significantly reduced.

Only two of the four arms materialized before the body became too weak to continue, and many parts of the body even became transparent.

The hatred in his eyes was even greater than before, and it was all directed at Xu Ning.

Xu Ning struggled to stand up, but as soon as he moved, he was in excruciating pain all over his body and instantly broke out in a cold sweat.

"Don't think your chance has come just because I can't stand up now."

Xu Ning advised the pitiful-looking demon in front of him, "My punch just now blasted part of your remains out of the cave. Now your aura has probably dissipated outside, and it will likely attract the attention of those immortals soon."

"I advise you to escape now, or return to your seal. You might be able to save your life and make a comeback. If you wait too long, you'll have no chance at all."

The monster clearly didn't heed Xu Ning's "well-intentioned" advice. Its black claws were wide open, and it slowly approached Xu Ning.

"Even if I want to leave, I'll kill you first. You're just a mortal. If I hadn't been sealed away for so many years, you wouldn't even be qualified to be my food."

Xu Ning gave another bitter smile and whispered to Shen He, who was squatting beside him, "Right now, its hatred is all on me, so it will definitely lower its guard against you. When you get the chance, rush out of the cave and run towards Liyue Harbor. Don't look back..."

Before Xu Ning could finish speaking, a young, unassuming figure stood firmly in front of him.

"Shen He, you..."

Shen He gripped the exorcising dagger tightly, just as his father had discarded it earlier, and once again aimed it at the demon before him.

This time, however, there is someone behind me who is willing to protect me and is also worthy of my protection.

"I've never asked your name."

Shen He's voice was still flat and monotone, but Xu Ning could hear a lot in it.

Xu Ning said in a deep voice, "My name is Xu Ning, the Xu Ning of the mountain breeze and the peace of mind."

Shen He didn't turn around, but simply replied in a low voice, "Xu Ning, I'll remember that!"

The demon had already approached, chuckling menacingly.

"You can say whatever you want to say later, I'll keep you quiet about it!"

Xu Ning watched as the demon raised its sharp claws, and despite the pain, he grabbed Shen He's clothes, trying to pull her aside.

A sudden gust of wind arose.

The whirlwind seemed to spring up from the center of the cave.

The force was so great that Xu Ning was blown backward twice, his back hitting the cave wall and hurting painfully.

It wasn't until Xu Ning sat up that he realized with surprise that the wind was actually coming from around Shen He.

Shen He's outstretched hand actually caught the demon's fierce claw.

No, or rather, it was caught by something else.

Xu Ning stared at Shen He's back. On that small body, there seemed to be a black shadow that was faintly breaking free from the body's constraints.

The hand that grabbed the monster's wrist was the one that appeared from the shadowy figure.

Xu Ning couldn't see the shadowy figure clearly, but the demon could see it perfectly and couldn't help but cry out in terror.

"You... what kind of evil spirit are you?"

If the current situation weren't so dire, Xu Ning would almost have laughed out loud at the monster's words.

How dare you, a vile demon, ask others what kind of evil spirit you are?

However, the violent aura emanating from Shen He at this moment, in terms of sheer ferocity, is probably far greater than that of the demon in front of him.

The exorcising dagger that Shen He held in his right hand could still emit a faint silver light in front of the demons, but now it had completely dimmed under the impact of Shen He's fierce aura.

Even so, Shen He raised his hand and slashed, severing the sharp claw in her left hand at the root.

The monster roared, and as the black mist swirled, its claws regenerated, once again clawing down at Shen He's head.

Although Shen He came from a family of exorcists, he had never received any training in exorcism or martial arts. Even his cooperation with Xu Ning just now was merely a reaction based on his innate instincts.

At this moment, Shen He's movements were still chaotic, but in terms of strength, speed, and even ferocity and cruelty, Shen He completely suppressed the monster in front of him.

The light shining into the cave entrance went from its peak to its waning, and then from its waning to its peak again.

Another day and night have passed in the blink of an eye.

The monster's initial roar, which was still full of vigor, had now turned into a weak and pitiful howl.

The filthy body was reassembling more and more slowly, but the severed parts were still being cut and chopped by Shen He.

With his back against the cave wall, Xu Ning looked at the scene before him and muttered to himself, "Is this the power contained in Shen He's destiny? It's truly terrifying. I told you to run for your life long ago, but you wouldn't leave. Do you think you can still escape now?"

Whether or not the demon heard Xu Ning's words, it suddenly roared, "You can kill me a hundred times, but I can still regenerate. I want to see how long you can last, little girl!"

Xu Ning sneered inwardly, struggling to lift the gourd of wine and take a small sip, thinking, "When the very eloquent True Lord arrives, let's see if you can roar again."

Just as he was wondering when the slow-moving crane would arrive, he suddenly felt a chill on his wrist, and a green snake appeared from the gourd.

It was the little snake, Qingyi, who had hidden in the cave as soon as the war began.

If Xu Ning could move his right hand now, he would definitely give this little snake three sharp raps on the head, but right now he doesn't even have the strength to curse it.

"You ran so fast when the game started, but now that we're in the final stages, you dare to show yourself?"

Ignoring Xu Ning's listless complaints, the little snake quickly coiled around Xu Ning's wrist and murmured a long incantation to the Dust Concealment Gourd.

Before Xu Ning could ask her what she was doing, he saw a cloud of bluish-green wine mist gushing out from the mouth of the Dust Concealment Gourd.

The mist of alcohol formed a dome that flipped over, completely enveloping Xu Ning within it.

"Qingyi, what are you doing?"

Xu Ning had just uttered a question when suddenly a powerful pressure descended upon the cave.

Xu Ning's whole body began to tremble slightly.

This pressure doesn't come from external force, but from an involuntary fear and humility that arises when one feels the gaze of a superior from the depths of their soul.

If it weren't for the occasional flashes of blue light within the misty fog surrounding him, which offset most of the pressure, Xu Ning, who was already so weak, would probably have been knocked unconscious the moment he felt His gaze.

The cave suddenly became crystal clear and bright, abruptly transforming into a world of ice and snow.

The groaning monster on the ground was frozen solid without any resistance, and all the chill began to gather in front of Shen He.

Amidst a flash of white light, a divine eye radiating icy light appeared before Shen He and then slowly fell into her hand.

Shen He didn't examine the divine favor he had just obtained. Instead, he immediately found the frozen head of the demon and stomped on it.

As the icy mist dissipated, the demonic aura gradually weakened until it disappeared completely.

"It's finally over."

Xu Ning sighed inwardly, realizing that he was not as strong as he had imagined.

This time, he was able to pass the test thanks to the burst of Shenhe's destiny and the arrival of the Eye of God.

If he were to rely solely on himself, he would likely be devoured by that demon again if he were to come back once more.

Just as I was feeling sentimental, a clear, cold female voice suddenly rang out.

"You killed the monster here?"
