Modern Teyvat, bound to the Abyss Spiral

"My brain isn't working well either."

Li Qingping glanced at Shuanghan who was lying on the ground, and his mind moved again. The long sword made of yellow sand was pulled out from Shuanghan's body, chopped off his head, and completed the finishing blow.

Now, ordinary Abyss Apostles can't last more than one move at Li Qingping's hands. Only powerful ones like Shuanghan are qualified to last two moves. Of course, the result is the same, death.

After killing Shuanghan and the Abyss Apostles he led, Li Qingping checked around the deck again and found two more Abyss Apostles guarding the stern.

Li Qingping took action to kill them and confirmed that the abyss apostles on the deck had been completely cleared out. He collected the yellow sand and prepared to rush to the cold storage to stop the ritual mentioned by Shuanghan.

Boom!

A loud thunder sounded in the sky and Li Qingping stopped.

Less than half a meter in front of him, a violent stream of water flew past, shattering the teak floor.

Debris flew everywhere, Li Qingping summoned yellow sand to stop them, then looked up.

"Lord Shuanghan was also defeated by you. I'm very curious how you did it, Mr. Li Qingping, who is only 18 years old."

Archbishop Yanwu of the Whirlpool Church walked slowly down from a height on the steps formed by rainwater. The raindrops hit his blue-gold robe, but were stopped by the elemental force and could not penetrate into it. Instead, they slid down the surface, and the hem of his clothes rustled in the strong wind.

At first glance, he does have the calm and composed demeanor of a master.

"Shuanghan is not as strong as you. Why do you call him 'sir'? Don't you have any self-respect as a strong man?" Li Qingping raised his eyes and did not express any opinion about Yanwu Lulu's move.

"Do you know how long Lord Shuanghan has lived?" Yan Wu had already landed and stood in front of Li Qingping.

"Do not want to know."

"Thousands of years, and I'm only 298 years old."

Li Qingping narrowed his eyes. The average lifespan of the people of Teyvat is longer because of the elemental power, but living for 298 years is obviously beyond the normal range.

"You must be very curious about why I can live so long and why I want to live so long."

"I was like you back then, radiating youthfulness all over my body. I didn't understand it then either."

"Death is too far away."

"But it wasn't until later that I understood the horror of time, watching my body gradually age..."

"I...I won't accept this!"

"So you joined the Vortex Church and transplanted Osel's demon fragments?" Li Qingping understood a little.

"Yes! I am alive today because of Lord Osel's gift." Yan Wu forced a smile on his wrinkled face, which was a bit scary.

"Then why did you betray Osel?" Li Qingping already had the answer in his mind. "Is it because Osel can no longer give you a longer life?"

"You're a little too clever." Yan Wu showed a hint of surprise, but quickly regained his composure. "The power of the demon gods is limited. After all, they are merely creatures of Teyvat, unable to break free from the shackles they've been enslaved to since their birth."

"The abyss is enough?" Li Qingping asked.

"Of course, the power of the abyss... you can't imagine it!" Yan Wu seemed to have seen something and slowly stretched out his hand, but it was empty. "As long as I complete this task, I will receive the gift of the abyss. So... I will never allow anyone to interfere!"

The Eye of God on Yanwu's body emitted light, and the demon fragments transplanted into his body began to frantically draw water elemental power from the sea.

"Boy, just go with peace of mind!"

The water in more than ten swimming pools on the deck was all controlled by Yan Wu. He waved his hand, and the water curtain rose high into the sky, turning into a vortex and smashing towards Li Qingping.

"I'm not so foolish as to give you the opportunity to display your superb swordsmanship! And without that swordsmanship, how can you defeat me in elemental power?"

The vortex crashed down, directly piercing through one deck, leaving a hole as big as a swimming pool.

Rainwater fell along the edge of the hole into the hull, and there seemed to be no trace of living people.

Yanwu looked at his masterpiece and nodded with satisfaction.

Although this man is a bit weird, he is just a young man with some ability. In the end, he can only be a stepping stone in his pursuit of immortality.

Yan Wu turned around and prepared to leave.

"Just leaving like that? I haven't even started yet."

In the big cave, Li Qingping slowly floated up on the yellow sand.

When Yan Wu heard Li Qingping's voice, he turned around immediately, his eyes deep and his face solemn.

"You're not dead?"

"I just wanted to get a few words out of you so I could report back, but who knew you were so dramatic."

Li Qingping walked back to the deck from the edge of the hole, with a hint of helplessness in his words.

"Who sent you?" Yan Wu pointed at Li Qingping and asked sternly.

"I'm from Liyue, who else could have sent me?"

"Morax's lackey!!"

"Why are you speaking so harshly? I'm just making a contribution to Liyue."

Yan Wu was stimulated by Li Qingping's words, and his emotions became visibly excited.

"I have also made many contributions to the church! But why is Osel unwilling to make me his follower? Tell me why!"

His bony hands stretched out from his blue-gold robe, clenched into fists, his knuckles clearly visible, and trembling with anger.

"why why!"

"You're crazy. Osel has let you live so long." Li Qingping frowned. It was rare for him to say something good for Osel.

"I'm not crazy! It was Osel who treated me unfairly! That's why I organized this sacrificial ceremony!" Yan Wu was furious. "As long as he swallows these tons of Abyssal Potion, he will be enslaved by the Abyss! And I... will also have eternal life!"

Yan Wu revealed all the purposes of this operation.

"Look, boy! Ahead lies the sea where the sacrificial ceremony is being held! Dedicate your life along with this ship to the god I once believed in!"

Yan Wu raised his hands high, and large amounts of sea water from the edges of the decks on both sides flowed upstream against the hull of the Zhudian Boat, surrounding Li Qingping in the center.

Li Qingping had no time to pay attention to Yan Wu now, and began to call Lei Dianzhen's name in his heart.

"Really, Osel is nearby?"

Lei Dianzhen appeared, glanced at the current situation, ignored Yan Wu who was going crazy, and said to Li Qingping: "No, it's not here."

Osel is not here, so why are you, an old man, so arrogant?

Li Qingping breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Yan Wu with a somewhat cold expression.

"Come out!"

As soon as he thought about it, the botanical garden on the eighth deck was turned upside down. All the yellow sand obeyed Li Qingping's command and flowed around Li Qingping along the stairs, elevators and even the gaps in the windows.

"If you want to live, go to the abyss. Why do you have to take this life with you? You old immortal, yours is the only life you have?"

The yellow sand surged and gathered into a tower. In a moment, a tower more than ten meters high stood on the deck.

Li Qingping stood on the top of the tower, looking down at Yanwu below: "To me, there is not much difference between you and Shuanghan. One is already dead, and you... are about to die!"

Rolling yellow sand, against the heavy rain, suddenly fell from behind Li Qingping and headed towards Yanwu.

"You!" Yan Wu expanded his elemental vision and looked at the massive amount of rock elemental power on the deck that was difficult to describe in words. He was so stunned that he couldn't even speak for a moment.

This is clearly the sea, and it should be his home ground, but why is it that the elemental power that Li Qingping can mobilize is even greater than his!

And...Li Qingping doesn't even have the Eye of God!

Yan Wu was in a panic and could only draw more seawater from the sea on both sides of the deck to resist, but his speed was too slow. The seawater he could control only formed a large river, while Li Qingping had an endless sea of ​​sand...

The sand sea fell and Yanwu was buried in it, with no trace of his body left.

"Why not call this move Desert Funeral? I wonder if any senior has used this name before."

Li Qingping waved his hand, pulled out the demon fragments from Yan Wu's body from the yellow sand, and placed them in the palm of his hand.

There are four pieces of Demon Fragments in total, all of which are top-grade, but they cannot be fed to Osel's Fang right now. This place is too dangerous.

"Sister Lan, I have killed the Apostle of the Abyss outside the deck, as well as the Archbishop Yan Wu of the Whirlpool Church." Li Qingping turned on the communicator.

"I heard it. It was such a loud noise that I thought the pearl barge was going to sink."

It was a bit noisy from Ye Lan's side, and you could hear the sound of fighting.

"I can't sink. I know my limits. How are you doing over there, Sister Lan?"

"I have some ordinary passengers here. After identifying themselves, they are willing to follow my instructions. Most of them have the Eye of God. They are currently engaged in a tug-of-war with those from the Vortex Church. There is no danger."

"Then I'll go to the cold storage first."

"what happened?"

Li Qingping informed Ye Lan of Yan Wu's plan.

"Let the Abyss enslave a demon god? This guy is really audacious!" Ye Lan took a breath, "Hurry over, I'm also preparing to take over the cab with my men."

There was enough energy to spare to spare some men to take down the cabin. It seemed that the condition of the cabin was better than he thought.

"If you have any questions, please contact me via communicator."

"clear."

After cutting off the communicator, Li Qingping activated the technique of shrinking the earth into an inch and teleported directly to the cold storage.

But what came into view were five wide-open cold storage doors, five warehouses filled with abyss potions, and four abyss apostles chanting loudly!

Damn it! Where did these bastards get enough Abyss Potion to fill three cold storages in just one night?!

Is this Lidao Pharmaceutical crazy?

The chanting of the Apostles of the Abyss has come to an end, and the ritual can no longer be stopped.

"With the blood of the upside-down abyss, stain the crown of Ru blue gold!"

"The thorns of sin entwine your divine body, and the abyss is the mouthpiece of your rebirth!"

"..., the tyrant's eyes are your eyes"

"The brand of the abyss has become the first cry of shackles!"

The formation engraved with blood shines with dark purple light in every warehouse, mixed with the white cold air blown out by the refrigerator, which will make people who don’t know the situation think they have come to some endless purgatory!

And this place is indeed very different from purgatory now!

After the Apostle of the Abyss finished chanting the spell, he turned into a pool of blood and merged into the formation.

Almost at the same time, all the abyss potions in the five warehouses were like boiling water, constantly rising in the glass bottles.

Click!

First the glass bottle broke, then more!

In the blink of an eye, all the glass bottles containing nearly 10 tons of Abyss Potion in the five warehouses were shattered.

The abyss potion boiled and surged, quickly rushing in all directions like a deep purple flood, unstoppable.

Those abyss potions have been baptized by rituals and given special properties. The hulls contaminated by them are branded with a mark of the abyss.

The mark will spread and quickly spread to those parts of the ship's structure that have not yet been soaked in the abyss potion, like a highly contagious plague, madly marking this sea behemoth with the marks of the abyss!

"Sister Lan, I'm afraid something might be wrong here."

Boom! A violent explosion occurred in the engine room further down.

"I'm afraid there's something wrong here too." Ye Lan's voice came from the communicator.

Volume 1: 94. The whirlpool's aftermath,

The mark of the abyss spread rapidly, and in the blink of an eye it was almost at Li Qingping's feet.

"Come right up, the situation here might be even more difficult!"

Li Qingping activated the shrinking machine and came to the driver's cab.

Seeing Li Qingping suddenly appear, Ye Lan didn't bother to ask more questions and immediately started to talk about the current situation.

"As soon as our people entered, this guy detonated the explosives installed on the ship. The ship is now uncontrollable and is moving forward entirely by inertia."

All the people in the cab were pinned to the ground by the people brought by Ye Lan.

Li Qingping felt that they looked familiar. After looking carefully, he remembered that they were all from the Liyue Police Station.

Last time, they followed Old Wu to deal with the case involving the wolf from the beast realm in Tinglan Garden.

Li Qingping nodded at them as a greeting, then followed the direction of Ye Lan's finger and saw the culprit of the explosion, Captain Honda.
