Collapse, women's clothing strategy Qiyana, then

Just then, a burning golden arrow suddenly shot out, passing by the two of them and heading straight for the open space in front of them.

Upon seeing this, Rita knew that Durandal had arrived, but she was also puzzled as to why Feather Rabbit had disappeared.

Just as the golden arrow was about to strike, the Feathered Rabbit reappeared, its face filled with a bewildered expression.

She had just realized that her surroundings had suddenly become empty, and was quite confused. Just as she was putting away her spear to figure out what was going on, the scene in front of her suddenly changed again, and then a golden arrow came flying at her deadly.

However, it was too late to dodge. She was forced to take Durandal's attack head-on. She was hit by the golden arrow and flew backward like a kite with a broken string. Her body was burned and even her hair caught fire.

The rabbit eventually crashed into the first floor of a building, which instantly became ruins, with smoke and dust enveloping the surroundings.

Durandal immediately ran to Rita's side: "Rita, how are you?"

The latter was injured and exhausted. After being supported by Durandal, he could barely stand.

"I'm fine, Lady Durandal."

Rita felt relieved at being rescued; Kiana, however, sensed something was wrong and immediately tried to run away to avoid being caught by the people of Destiny.

Just then, Kiana and Rita both heard footsteps.

They forgot everything else, as if possessed, and simply turned to look at the source of the footsteps.

"Xiaoyan?!"

Rita gasped softly, then a strange feeling welled up inside her, making it hard for her to maintain her perfect maid image.

She gently grasped Durandal's wrist, regaining her balance, and then gazed intently at the boy.

Bai Yan's demeanor at this moment was completely different from what she remembered.

He was taller than before, and his eyes had changed, becoming confident and composed.

Rita couldn't help but curl the corners of her lips into a smile, feeling that it might be difficult to treat Bai Yan the way she used to in the future...

Kiana felt a sense of familiarity about the unfamiliar boy's face, but she couldn't quite place it.

After a while, she finally remembered her past memories.

"He is... Bai Yan!"

She wanted to escape.

She dared not look the boy in the eye.

But her feet didn't move, as if forcing her to confront a certain fact.

Bai Yan didn't look at her, but instead faced the ruins that had just been smashed open, quietly waiting for any movement inside.

At that moment, the ruins moved.

The rabbit emerged in a disheveled state, its body a mess, but no injuries were visible.

Upon seeing Bai Yan, a look of confusion appeared in her eyes.

"Young man, are you Bai Yan?"

"it's me."

"That's it..."

Then Yu Tu seemed to remember something and suddenly looked very disappointed.

"Unfortunately, she is no longer here."

These words struck Kiana like a heavy blow, leaving her even more paralyzed.

Bai Yan brandished his greatsword and said, "We're taking Kiana Kaslana with us. Does World Serpent intend to stop us?"

"Uh……"

"Don't even think about it!"

Suddenly, the jackal spoke up, accompanied by a series of resounding mechanical sounds, and more strange mechs entered the battlefield.

Durandal and the others kept a watchful eye on the steel swarm that had just arrived.

"Jackal, you don't actually think that this little bit of power can stop the Undying Blade, do you?"

“Boy, you know nothing about the power of the World Serpent.”

Bai Yan glanced at Yu Tu.

"Just this Saint Mark Spirit?"

Durandal: "A Stigmata Spirit?"

“Shaniat Stigmata”.

"what?!"

"Can a Holy Mark transform someone into a human?"

"Wait a minute, she looks just like Lady Cecilia from back then, could it be?!"

Durandal remained vigilant while asking Bai Yan, "What's going on?"

"I don't know the specifics, but based on some information, I can confirm that she is the crystallization of the Sariat Stigmata and was born in Siberia—at the moment Cecilia cast the Holy Blood Release."

When the true form of the Feathered Rabbit was revealed in a single sentence, everyone showed an expression of disbelief.

Kiana, in particular, was experiencing the strongest mental shock among everyone present.

Not only his appearance, but also his background is closely related to Cecilia.

Bai Yan did not respond to the crowd's reaction, but continued to the World Serpent members: "I heard that the Herrscher of Thunder and Anna are also here with you. I don't care about the former, but you have to hand over the latter."

Bai Yan exuded an imposing aura, as if the Undying Blade was under his control.

In the jackal's mind, this was nothing more than an unknown nobody from the Heavenly Mandate, yet he dared to speak to him like that, which immediately made him very unhappy.

"wishful thinking!"

"Oh? You seem quite confident, but it's pointless for ordinary Herrschers to show up. You can send them all out for a fight and see."

Upon hearing this, the jackal was immediately filled with rage.

"Arrogant! Who do you think you are?!"

Bai Yan didn't answer, but instead unleashed a sword strike, causing the Feathered Rabbit in front of him and a group of mechs behind him to disappear completely.

Jackal: "..."

"Hand them over, or the next sword strike won't just trap them."

No sooner had the words left his mouth than Yu Tu and the mechs reappeared.

Yu Tu was speechless. She had just been convinced that she was trapped in some kind of space, and was about to try to break free when she was released again.

The moment she stepped out, she felt a chill run down her spine, as if the golden arrow was about to be shot at her again.

But that didn't happen.

Unpredictable combination techniques can inflict greater mental anguish than their destructive power.

Volume 1: Chapter 8: Is Raiden Mei a female character?

The jackal remained silent; no one could see through the mask, but his expression must have been extremely dark.

Yu Tu glanced at the opposite side and then at its own, then silently took two steps back.

The move they just made was beyond their expectations; it felt like the Herrscher of the Void was reviving.

It can't be fought, it can't be fought at all.

Kiana, standing to the side, was conflicted, unsure whether to stay or leave.

At this moment, dark clouds appeared over Sky City, and soon lightning flashed within the clouds, accompanied by a faint rumbling sound.

Everyone turned their gaze upwards.

Suddenly, a huge white shadow descended from the sky, followed by a strong wind.

Benares's cry echoed across the heavens, heading straight for Kiana.

Soon, the Judgment-class Honkai Beast swooped down, shielding Kiana behind its massive body.

The World Serpents retreated slightly, but the Undying Blade remained standing still.

"Bai Yan, what is this?" the robin asked curiously.

"The Herrscher of the Void, Yueyi Liuyi (II), is a companion Honkai Beast, Benares, Judgment-class."

"Oh……"

This was the first time she had ever seen a Honkai Beast that protected humanity. In other narratives, Honkai Beasts were often depicted as indiscriminate killers, but Benares gave her a sense of extreme loyalty.

Bai Yan looked at Benares, who stared back at him, as if instinctively believing Bai Yan to be the biggest threat.

"If a fight breaks out, your master will definitely get hurt because of you, so do you really want to protect him?"

The enormous dragon head swung itself, glanced behind it, and then remained still.

Bai Yan held his sword across his chest, pointing it at Benares, ready to temporarily exile him at any moment.

"Benares, move aside," Kiana whispered, patting her tail.

The Judgment-class Honkai Beast let out a low growl.

“I have reasons to confront him, so let’s not do this.”

Benares turned and stared at Kiana, then after a moment he growled and made way for her.

At this moment, her vision opened, and she finally met Bai Yan's gaze.

Erjiuqi6 [〥?jiu?yishanbaliu "I'll go with you."]

“Very good,” Bai Yan nodded indifferently, then looked at Benares, “You can rest assured, she will be fine.”

To the jackal, this scene felt somewhat humiliating.

A small team from Destiny came to World Serpent's territory, casually brought people with them, and even the person who came forward was a young guy.

Look how arrogant he is!

However, there was nothing she could do.

"and many more!"

A deep, magnetic female voice rang out, causing Kiana, who was halfway there, to change her expression drastically.

Turning around abruptly, I saw a tall woman with purple hair walking out of the mecha jungle.

The Herrscher of Thunder's armor was fully deployed, the massive katana crackling with lightning, and the power of conquest seemed instinctive and effortless within her.

This overwhelming power, like a calamity, was directed entirely at Bai Yan.

"Mea Yi..."

Raiden Mei glanced at Kiana with a complicated expression, then stared at Shirohiko.

"If you want to take Kiana away, you'll have to get past me first, Otto's lackey."

Bai Yan laughed out loud.

After a long absence, Mei has not only transformed into Mei-san, but her aggression has also grown so much.

Then you don’t have to be polite.

"You didn't cry at all, you've grown a lot, Changkong City's Chongnu."

Raiden Mei snorted coldly, her expression turning sinister, and she looked at the boy as if she wanted to draw her sword.

"You don't think you can get away unscathed just because Durandal is backing you up, do you?"

The long sword flashed out, its power amplified by the burst of lightning.

Durandal gripped the Black Abyss White Flower and was about to step forward, but was immediately stopped by Bai Yan.

"Do you want to fight me one-on-one, Chong Nu?"

"Do you dare?" Raiden Mei said through gritted teeth.

This title had already enraged her beyond measure. How dare a mere intelligence officer from the Destiny Headquarters be so arrogant!

Raiden Mei had witnessed the power he had just used on Yuto. Based on the second sword strike, she had deduced that the move could only temporarily trap the opponent, and that it was likely something that could be broken manually.
