The massive waves stirred up by Beisht seemed to consume a great deal of power, making the description 'towering' entirely appropriate.
Even the Jade Chamber, flying in the sky, seemed as if it would be swept away by the colossal waves.
As the giant waves gradually approached the Guyun Stone Forest, Yun Xu felt he would be affected and decided to move to a different location.
But before Yun Xu could act, the figure of a golden-haired Damselette leaped from the approaching Jade Chamber, flying towards Beisht.
She summoned a dull blade in her hand and thrust it towards Beisht, attempting to stop its attack.
However, one of Beisht's heads condensed Hydro element power at its mouth, then shot it out like a thick laser beam.
With a bang, Lumine, who hadn't even gotten close, was knocked flying by Beisht's attack, crashing into a mountain in the Guyun Stone Forest and falling down, not far from Yun Xu.
"...Lumine!"
Seeing Lumine fall from the mountain, Yun Xu hurriedly jumped up and caught her.
Landing back on the ground, Yun Xu checked Lumine's condition and found that although she was knocked unconscious, she had no injuries on her body and therefore wasn't bleeding.
"She's not even bleeding, what a shame... But is this the Traveler's resilience...?"
Yun Xu mumbled in a low voice.
Clearly, elemental attacks were far less effective against Lumine than physical attacks; she usually bled more easily when fighting powerful Gods like Geovishaps.
Confirming that Lumine was not in mortal danger, Yun Xu didn't want to leave her on the beach, as she could easily be submerged by the rising tide. He simply supported the unconscious Lumine and turned to look at Beisht.
At this moment, the towering waves had already approached the Guyun Stone Forest, seemingly about to wash over its entire surface.
"The strength difference between Gods can be as vast as heaven and earth, but Osial is definitely one of the best among them. As his follower, you are even stronger than some of the edible Gods my master once spoke of, Beisht."
With Lumine's arm draped over his neck, supporting her, Yun Xu slowly spoke as he looked at Beisht beyond the giant waves.
Of course, his other hand wasn't idle; he was forming hand seals in front of him.
"Immortal Art: Vanquisher of Evil, possess my body."
After performing the Immortal Art, Yun Xu also took out an ancient qianyan long spear from his qiankun bag.
This was a weapon Xiao had found for him, suitable for his recent progress in spear practice.
Then Yun Xu slowly ascended into the air, seemingly slowly, but in reality, the giant waves hadn't even moved forward a bit.
Divine Power: Freedom in the Air.
Yun Xu, now at a high altitude, placed one hand on the unconscious Lumine's shoulder and raised the spear with the other.
A phantom of a young man in azure appeared behind Yun Xu, raising his spear in unison.
For a moment, it was as if all the Anemo element power in the world gathered, and the azure light was somewhat dazzling.
When the spear's power reached its limit, Yun Xu swung it downwards with all his might. For a moment, it was like an azure whip lashing out, directly cutting and horizontally severing the towering waves from above.
This caused the form of the giant waves to dissipate. Although it was still a large amount of seawater that had been mobilized, it naturally spread out, posing no significant harm to the Guyun Stone Forest and the Jade Chamber.
"Hmph, it seems my spear practice wasn't in vain..."
This was Yun Xu's first time experiencing the results of his initial success in spear practice.
He felt that now, having learned the Vanquisher of Evil's spear techniques, he could probably unleash fifty percent of its power, right?
And while Beisht was strong, the Vanquisher of Evil was also the strongest slayer among the adepti under the Geo Archon's command.
If they hadn't determined that Beisht posed no actual threat, the adepti would not have left it for the Liyue Qixing to handle.
However, Yun Xu didn't know any of this. He treated Beisht as his target and aimed his spear at it.
Beisht in the sea naturally noticed Yun Xu, who had severed the giant waves.
He had... her husband's blood and aura on him... Sensing this, Beisht became even more furious and resentful. All three heads gathered Hydro element power, forming a dark blue water orb in front of him, and spat it towards Yun Xu.
"Ugh..."
Looking at the water orb attack, condensed from Beisht's last vestiges of power, Yun Xu found it a bit inconvenient as he was carrying the unconscious Lumine.
But he couldn't just leave her on the shore of the Guyun Stone Forest, so he simply tapped her with the sun and moon cup and put her into his qiankun bag.
But at that moment, Beisht's attack also landed on Yun Xu, completely engulfing him.
"..."
Not far away, Shenhe, who had arrived at the Guyun Stone Forest using an Immortal Art, happened to witness this scene.
'You were born with this fate; as long as you live, you will bring danger to those around you...'
'Little Shenhe, you're so bored sitting alone all day. Look, I caught a long-haired Geo Slime for you, isn't it cute?'
'You can pat my head, but you can't hold me upside down by my tail, little Shenhe. If you play with me like that, I won't shapeshift and play with you anymore.'
'Little Shenhe, didn't you like my tail and ears before? Hehe, I just refined a Fox-Fox Pill, why don't you try it?'
'Wow, you've grown taller than me...'
'Shenhe, let's go home.'
'Your mortal ties are severed, but it doesn't matter, you still have immortal ties. Master and I are your family.'
'Remember this: when you have the thought of using your power for others.'
'That's when you can truly integrate into human society.'
For a moment, many words flashed through Shenhe's mind, and her usually indifferent eyes flickered with a rare emotion.
Bang--!
The next moment, Shenhe shot out like a cannonball, pulling out her spear and thrusting it directly at Beisht.
And just as Shenhe rushed out, Yun Xu emerged from the water orb Beisht had fired.
Divine Power: Extinction of All Sufferings.
"My goodness, is this Divine Power so powerful? Truly worthy of the Vanquisher of Evil..."
Yun Xu couldn't help but exclaim, realizing he was basically unharmed.
Divine Powers are different from ordinary Immortal Arts; these Divine Powers require a certain level of strength to perform, and Yun Xu couldn't use them with his previous compatibility, so this was his first time witnessing one.
Just as Yun Xu was marveling at the Divine Power's defensive capabilities, the commotion ahead suddenly caught his attention.
"Cryo Transformation!"
Shenhe thrust her spear into one of Beisht's heads, simultaneously employing the Divine Maiden's Spirit-Dispatching True Art, instantly freezing the entire head into an ice sculpture.
"Shenhe? When did you arrive?!"
Yun Xu was startled, but at that moment, Beisht's other two heads counterattacked Shenhe. Yun Xu didn't have time to think and hurried over.
"Shenhe, Senior Brother is here to help you!"
"Senior Brother..."
Hearing Yun Xu's voice, Shenhe subconsciously turned her head.
Yun Xu, meanwhile, used Freedom in the Air and Wind Wheel, instantly flashing through the air and repelling Beisht's other two heads that were attempting to attack Shenhe.
Wind Wheel left an azure mark on its neck, and the moment blood flowed out, it was shattered into a misty vapor by the Anemo element power on the wound.
In pain, Beisht finally realized that it was no match for these two, and immediately dove back into the sea, intending to escape. The Frozen head was also dragged back.
"You medicine, don't run away!"
Yun Xu shouted and hurriedly followed.
Seeing this, Shenhe also followed behind Yun Xu...
...
